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 the LORD 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, O Lord GOD, what wilt thou give me, seeing I go childless, and he that shall be possessor of my house is Dammesek Eliezer?
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 the LORD came unto him, saying, This man 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 tell 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 the LORD; 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 the LORD 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, O Lord GOD, 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 him all these, and divided them in the midst, and laid each half over against the other: but the birds divided he not.
11 Idi bimmaba dagiti billit a mangan kadagiti natay nga ayup, inabog ni Abram dagitoy.
And the birds of prey came down upon the carcases, and 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.
But 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.”
And in the fourth generation they shall come hither again: for the iniquity of the Amorite 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 flaming torch that passed between these 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 that day the LORD 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 Kenite, and the Kenizzite, and the Kadmonite,
20 dagiti Heteo, dagiti Perezeo, dagiti Refaim,
and the Hittite, and the Perizzite, and the Rephaim,
21 dagiti Amorreo, dagiti Cananeo, dagiti Girgaseo ken dagiti Jebuseo.”
and the Amorite, and the Canaanite, and the Girgashite, and the Jebusite.
