< Genesis 15 >

1 Tukun ma inge, oasr aruruma se Abram el liye, ac el lohng pusren LEUM GOD fahk nu sel, “Abram, nimet sangeng. Nga ac fah lisring kom liki mwe sensen, ac sot nu sum sie mwe usru lulap.”
After these things the LORD’s word came to Abram in a vision, saying, “Don’t be afraid, Abram. I am your shield, your exceedingly great reward.”
2 Tusruktu Abram el topuk ac fahk, “LEUM GOD Fulatlana, mwe mea nu sik mwe usru sacn, ke wangin tulik nutik uh? Mwet sefanna ac usrui ma luk uh, pa Eliezer, mwet Damascus.
Abram said, “Lord GOD, what will you give me, since I go childless, and he who will inherit my estate is Eliezer of Damascus?”
3 Wangin tulik kom ase nutik, a siena sin mwet kulansap luk fah usrui ma luk.”
Abram said, “Behold, you have given no children to me: and, behold, one born in my house is my heir.”
4 Na el lohng LEUM GOD El sifilpa kaskas nu sel ac fahk, “Mwet kulansap se inge, Eliezer, el fah tia usrui ma lom, a wen se nutum sifacna ac fah mwet usru lom.”
Behold, the LORD’s word came to him, saying, “This man will not be your heir, but he who will come out of your own body will be your heir.”
5 LEUM GOD El pwanulla nu likinuma ac fahk, “Ngetak nu inkusrao ac srike in oakla itu ingo. Fwilin tulik nutum ac fah pus oana itu uh.”
The LORD brought him outside, and said, “Look now toward the sky, and count the stars, if you are able to count them.” He said to Abram, “So your offspring will be.”
6 Abram el filiya lulalfongi lal in LEUM GOD, ac ke sripa se inge LEUM GOD El oakulla sie mwet suwoswos.
He believed in the LORD, who credited it to him for righteousness.
7 Na LEUM GOD El fahk nu sel, “Nga LEUM GOD, su pwenkomme liki acn Ur in facl Babylonia, in asot nu sum acn se inge tuh in ma lom.
He said to Abram, “I am the LORD who brought you out of Ur-Kasdim, to give you this land to inherit it.”
8 Tusruk Abram el siyuk, “LEUM GOD Fulatlana, ac fuka eteya sik lah ac ma luk?”
He said, “Lord GOD, how will I know that I will inherit it?”
9 El topuk ac fahk, “Use soko cow mutan, soko nani mutan, ac soko sheep mukul, kais soko seltal in yac tolu matwa, wi sie wule ac sie wuleoa.”
He said to him, “Bring me a heifer three years old, a female goat three years old, a ram three years old, a turtledove, and a young pigeon.”
10 Abram el use ma inge nu yurin God. El uniya, na fulungya kosro ah nu ke ip luo ac takunla ke tak lukwa, ip luo ke kais sie kain kosro oan tulani nu sie, a el tia fulungya wule ah.
He brought him all these, and divided them in the middle, and laid each half opposite the other; but he didn’t divide the birds.
11 Won lulap vulture uh tuhwi nu fin ikwen kosro ac won uh, tusruktu Abram el luselosla.
The birds of prey came down on the carcasses, and Abram drove them away.
12 Ke faht uh fahsr in tili, Abram el motulla folosuwosla, na sangeng ac tuninfong tuyang nu sel.
When the sun was going down, a deep sleep fell on Abram. Now terror and great darkness fell on him.
13 Na LEUM GOD El fahk nu sel, “Fwilin tulik nutum ac fah mwetsac in sie facl su tia facl selos. Elos ac fah mwet kohs we, na ac fah arulana orek elos koluk ke lusen yac angfoko.
He said to Abram, “Know for sure that your offspring will live as foreigners in a land that is not theirs, and will serve them. They will afflict them four hundred years.
14 Tusruktu nga ac fah kalyei mutunfacl se ma ac akkohsyelos, na ke elos ac mukuiyak liki facl sac elos ac us mwe kasrup puspis welulos.
I will also judge that nation, whom they will serve. Afterward they will come out with great wealth;
15 A funu kom, kom ac muta nwe ke na kom matuoh, na kom fah misa in misla, ac pukpuki.
but you will go to your fathers in peace. You will be buried at a good old age.
16 A ac fah sun fwilin tulik akakosr nutum meet liki elos foloko nu in acn se inge, mweyen nga ac tia lusla mwet Amor nwe ke na arulana yokelik ma koluk lalos ac fal in kalyeiyuk elos.”
In the fourth generation they will come here again, for the iniquity of the Amorite is not yet full.”
17 Ke faht ah tili, ac lohsrla acn uh, sie tup in e fofosr ac soko srokom in e sikyak ke kitin pacl ah, ac fahla inmasrlon takin ikwen kosro uh.
It came to pass that, when the sun went down, and it was dark, behold, a smoking furnace and a flaming torch passed between these pieces.
18 Na in pacl sacna, LEUM GOD El orala wulela se inmasrlol ac Abram, fahkang, “Nga wulela mu nga ac sot facl se inge nufon nu sin fwilin tulik nutum, mutawauk ke masrol lun Egypt nwe ke Infacl Euphrates,
In that day the LORD made a covenant with Abram, saying, “I have given this land to your offspring, from the river of Egypt to the great river, the river Euphrates:
19 weang acn lun mwet Ken, mwet Keniz, mwet Kadmon,
the land of the Kenites, the Kenizzites, the Kadmonites,
20 mwet Hit, mwet Periz, mwet Rephaim,
the Hittites, the Perizzites, the Rephaim,
21 mwet Amor, mwet Canaan, mwet Girgash, ac mwet Jebus.”
the Amorites, the Canaanites, the Girgashites, and the Jebusites.”
