Kinohi 15
1 MAHOPE mai oia mau mea, hiki mai la ka olelo a Iehova ia Aberama ma ka hihio, i mai la, Mai makau oe, e Aberama, owau no kou palekaua a me kau uku nui loa.
After these things, came the word of Yahweh unto Abram, in a vision saying, —Do not fear Abram, I am a shield to thee, thine exceeding great reward.
2 I aku la o Aberama, E ka Haku, e Iehova e, heaha kau mea e haawi mai ai ia'u, no ka mea, ke hele keiki ole nei au, a o ka puuku o kuu hale, oia o Eliezera no Damaseko.
And Abram said My Lord Yahweh, what canst thou give me, when, I, am going on childless, —and the heir of my house, is Eliezer, of Damascus,
3 I aku la o Aberama, Aia hoi, aole oe i haawi mai i keiki na'u; a o kekahi i hanau iloko o ko'u hale, oia kuu hooilina.
And Abram said—Lo, to me, hast thou not given seed, —And lo! a son of my household, is mine heir!
4 Aia hoi, hiki mai la ka olelo a Iehova ia ia, i ka i ana mai, Aole keia o kou hooilina; aka, o ka mea e hele mai ana mailoko mai ou iho, o kou hooilina ia.
And lo! the word of Yahweh [came] unto him, saying, This one, shall not be thine heir: But one who cometh forth of thy body—he shall be thine heir.
5 Kai aku la oia ia ia mawaho, i mai la, E nana aku oe iluna i ka lani, e helu i na hoku, ina e hiki ia oe ke helu: i mai la kela ia ia, Pela auanei kau poe mamo.
And he brought him forth abroad and said—Look steadfastly. I pray thee towards the heavens, and number the stars, if thou be able to number, them, And he said to him, Thus, shall be thy seed.
6 Manaoio aku la oia ia Iehova, a hooili mai la oia ia mea i pono nona.
And he had faith in Yahweh, —so he reckoned it to him as righteousness.
7 I mai la kela ia ia, Owau no Iehova nana oe i lawe mai nei, mai Ura o ko Kaledea mai, e haawi aku nou i keia aina i wahi e noho ai.
And he said unto him, —I, am Yahweh, who brought thee forth out of Ur of the Chaldees, to give thee this land to inherit it.
8 I aku la ia, E ka Haku, e Iehova e, pehea la au e ike ai, e ili mai ana keia aina no'u?
And he said, My Lord Yahweh, whereby, can I know that I shall inherit it?
9 I mai la kela ia ia, E lalau oe na'u i bipiwahine akolu makahiki ona, i kaowahine akolu makahiki ona, i hipakane akolu ona makahiki, i manu kuhukuku, a me ka nunu opiopio.
And he said unto him, Take for me a heifer three years old, and a she-goat three years old, and a ram three years old, and a turtle-dove and a young pigeon.
10 Lawe mai la oia ia mau mea a pau io na la, a mahele ae la ia lakou mawaena, a waiho iho la i kela apana i keia apana e ku pono aku i kona hoa: aka, aole ia i mahele i na manu.
So he took for him all these, and divided them, in the midst, and placed each piece over against its fellow, but the birds, divided he not.
11 A lele mai la na manu maluna iho o na mohai, hoopuehu aku la o Aberama ia lakou.
Then came down the birds of prey upon the carcass, and Abram drove them away.
12 A i ka napoo ana o ka la, ua pauhia o Aberama i ka hiamoe nui; aia hoi, kau mai la ka, weliweli a me ka pouli nui maluna iho ona.
And it came to pass when, the sun, was about to go in, and, a deep sleep, had fallen upon Abram, lo! a terror a great darkness, was falling upon him.
13 Olelo mai la ia ia Aberama, E ike pono oe, e lilo ana kau poe mamo i malihini ma ka aina e aole no lakou, a e hookauwa aku na lakou; a e hoinoia mai lakou e kela poe i na haneri makahiki eha.
And he said to Abram—Thou must surely know, that, sojourners, will thy seed become in a land not theirs, and shall serve them and they will humble them, four hundred years;
14 A o ua lahuikanaka la nana lakou e hooluhi mai, na'u lakou e hoohewa aku: a mahope iho, e puka mai lakou iwaho me ka waiwai nui.
moreover also, the nation whom they will serve, I, am going to judge, and after that, shall they come forth with great substance.
15 E huiia'ku oe i ou mau makua me ka malu; a e kanuia oe i ka wa elemakule maikai.
But, thou, shalt go in unto thy fathers in peace, thou shalt be buried in a good old age.
16 Aka, e hoi hou mai no lakou ia nei i ka ha o ka hanauna: no ka mea, aole i lawa ka hewa o ka Amori i nei manawa.
And, in the fourth generation, shall they return hither, —for not complete, is the iniquity of the Amorites, as yet,
17 A napoo iho la ka la, a poeleele iho la, aia hoi, nee ae la ka umuahi e punohu ana a me ke kukui e a ana mawaena o ua mau apana la.
So it came to pass when, the sun, had gone in, and, a thick darkness, had come on, that lo there was a smoking hearth and torch of fire, which passed through between these pieces.
18 Ia la no, hoopaa iho la oia i berita me Aberama, i ka i ana mai, Ua haawi aku no wau i keia aina no kau poe mamo, mai ka muliwai o Aigupita a hiki aku i ka muliwai nui, ka muliwai o Euperate:
In that day, did Yahweh solemnise with Abram a covenant, saying, —To thy seed, have I given this land, from the river of Egypt as far as the great river—the river Euphrates:
19 I ka Kena, i ka Keniza, i ka Kademona,
the Kenite, and the Kenizzite, and the Kadmonite;
20 I ka Heta, i ka Periza, me ka Repaima,
and the Hittite and the Perizzite, and the Rephaim;
21 I ka Amora, i ka Kanaana, i ka Giregasa, a me ka Iebusa.
and the Amorite, and the Canaanite, and the Girgashite, and the Jebusite.
