Genesis 15
1 Kalpasan dagitoy a banbanag, immay ti sao ni Yahweh kenni Abram iti maysa a sirmata, a kunana, “Saanka nga agbuteng, Abram! “Siak ti salaknibmo ken ti naidaklan unay a gunggonam.”
After these things the word of YHWH came unto Abram in a vision, saying, Fear not, Abram: I am thy shield, and thy exceeding great reward.
2 Kinuna ni Abram, “Apo a Yahweh, anianto ti ipaaymo kaniak, ta kastoy met latta, awananak iti anak, ken ti agtawid iti balayko ket ni Elieser a taga-Damasco?”
And Abram said, Sovereign YHWH, what wilt thou give me, seeing I go childless, and the steward of my house is this Eliezer of Damascus?
3 Kinuna ni Abram, “Agsipud ta awan intedmo kaniak a kaputotan, kitaem, ti katalek iti balayko ket isu ti agtawid.”
And Abram said, Behold, to me thou hast given no seed: and, lo, one born in my house is mine heir.
4 Ket, pagammoan, immay kenkuana ti sao ni Yahweh, a kunana, “Saan a daytoy a lalaki ti agtawid iti sanikuam; ngem ketdi ti agtaudto a mismo iti bagim ti agtawidto.”
And, behold, the word of YHWH came unto him, saying, This shall not be thine heir; but he that shall come forth out of thine own bowels shall be thine heir.
5 Kalpasanna, impanna isuna iti ruar ket kinunana, “Tumangadka iti langit, ket bilangem dagiti bituen, no kabaelam ida a bilangen.” Ket kinunana kenkuana, “Kastanto met ngarud dagiti kaputotam.”
And he brought him forth abroad, and said, Look now toward heaven, and tell the stars, if thou be able to number them: and he said unto him, So shall thy seed be.
6 Namati isuna kenni Yahweh, ken imbilangna kenkuana daytoy a kinalinteg.
And he believed in YHWH; and he counted it to him for righteousness.
7 Kinunana kenkuana, “Siak ni Yahweh a nangiruar kenka idiay Ur dagiti Caldeo, tapno itedko kenka daytoy a daga a tawidem.”
And he said unto him, I am YHWH that brought thee out of Ur of the Chaldees, to give thee this land to inherit it.
8 Kinunana “Apo a Yahweh, kasanonto a maammoak a tawidekto daytoy?”
And he said, Soverign YHWH, whereby shall I know that I shall inherit it?
9 Ket kinunana kenkuana, “Mangidatagka kaniak iti tallo ti tawenna a baka a saan pay a nagmaya, tallo ti tawenna a kabaian a kalding, tallo ti tawenna a kalakian a karnero, kalapati ken sibong a pagaw.”
And he said unto him, Take me an heifer of three years old, and a she goat of three years old, and a ram of three years old, and a turtledove, and a young pigeon.
10 Impanna amin kenkuana dagitoy, ket ginuduana dagitoy. Ket inkabilna ti tunggal kagudua iti batug ti kapisina, ngem saanna a ginudua dagiti billit.
And he took unto him all these, and divided them in the midst, and laid each piece one against another: but the birds divided he not.
11 Idi bimmaba dagiti billit a mangan kadagiti natay nga ayup, inabog ni Abram dagitoy.
And when the fowls came down upon the carcases, Abram drove them away.
12 Ket idi lumlumneken ti init, nakaturog iti nasimbeng ni Abram ket pagammoan, nasallukoban isuna iti nakaam-amak ken nakabutbuteng a sipnget.
And when the sun was going down, a deep sleep fell upon Abram; and, lo, an horror of great darkness fell upon him.
13 Kalpasanna, kinuna ni Yahweh kenni Abram, “Ammoem koma a gangannaetto dagiti kaputotam iti saanda a daga, ket matagabudanto ken maparigatdanto iti las-ud iti uppat a gasut a tawen.
And he said unto Abram, Know of a surety that thy seed shall be a stranger in a land that is not theirs, and shall serve them; and they shall afflict them four hundred years;
14 Ukomekto dayta a nasion a pagserbianda, ket rummuardanto kalpasan nga addaan iti nawadwad a sanikua.
And also that nation, whom they shall serve, will I judge: and afterward shall they come out with great substance.
15 Ngem mapankanto kadagiti amam a sitatalna, ket lakaykanto unayen inton maitanemka.
And thou shalt go to thy fathers in peace; thou shalt be buried in a good old age.
16 Iti maikapat a henerasion ket umaydanto manen ditoy. Ta saan pay a nadanon ti pagpatinggaan ti kinadagsen iti basol dagiti Amorreo.”
But in the fourth generation they shall come hither again: for the iniquity of the Amorites is not yet full.
17 Idi limneken ti init ket nasipngeten, adda maysa nga agas-asuk a banga ken sumsumged nga aluten a limmasat iti nagbabaetan dagiti pidaso ti ayup.
And it came to pass, that, when the sun went down, and it was dark, behold a smoking furnace, and a burning lamp that passed between those pieces.
18 Iti dayta nga aldaw, nakitulag ni Yahweh kenni Abram, kunana, “Kadagiti kaputotamto, itedko daytoy a daga, manipud iti karayan ti Egipto inggana iti dakkel a karayan, ti Eufrates—
In the same day YHWH made a covenant with Abram, saying, Unto thy seed have I given this land, from the river of Egypt unto the great river, the river Euphrates:
19 dagiti Kineo, dagiti Kenizeo, dagiti Kadmoneo,
The Kenites, and the Kenizzites, and the Kadmonites,
20 dagiti Heteo, dagiti Perezeo, dagiti Refaim,
And the Hittites, and the Perizzites, and the Rephaims,
21 dagiti Amorreo, dagiti Cananeo, dagiti Girgaseo ken dagiti Jebuseo.”
And the Amorites, and the Canaanites, and the Girgashites, and the Jebusites.
