Genesisy 15
1 Modo izay le nañento an’ aroñaroñe amy Avrame ty tsara’ Iehovà: Ko hemban-drehe, Avrame. Izaho ro fikalan-defo’o naho tambe’o ra’elahy.
And after these things the word of the Lord came to Abram in a vision, saying, Fear not, Abram, I shield you, your reward shall be very great.
2 Le hoe t’i Avrame, Ry Talè Iehovà, ino ty ho mea’o ahiko kanao betsiterake, vaho i Elièzere nte-Damaskose ro mpamandroñe ty akibako.
And Abram said, Master [and] Lord, what will you give me? whereas I am departing without a child, but the son of Masek my home-born female slave, this Eliezer of Damascus [is mine heir.]
3 Le tinovo’ i Avrame ty hoe: Tsy nimea’o tiry iraho; aa le mpandovako i nitoly an-kibohokoy.
And Abram said, [I am grieved] since you have given me no seed, but my home-born [servant] shall succeed me.
4 Le hoe ty tsara’ Iehovà ama’e: Tsy ie ty ho mpandova’o, fa ty hiboake am-bania’o ao ty ho mpandova’o.
And immediately there was a voice of the Lord to him, saying, This shall not be your heir; but he that shall come out of you shall be your heir.
5 Nendese’e alafe ao le nanoa’e ty hoe: Miandrandrà mb’ andikerañ’ eñe vaho iaho o vasiañeo naho lefe’o iaheñe. Le hoe re tama’e, Mira amy zay ty ho tarira’o.
And he brought him out and said to him, Look up now to heaven, and count the stars, if you shall be able to number them fully, and he said, Thus shall your seed be.
6 Niantofa’e t’Iehovà, le vinolili’e ho havantañañe ama’e.
And Abram believed God, and it was counted to him for righteousness.
7 Hoe ka Re tama’e: Izaho Iehovà ty nañakatse azo amy Ora’ o nte-Kasdìo hanolorako azo ty tane toa handrambesa’o aze.
And he said to him, I am God that brought you out of the land of the Chaldeans, so as to give you this land to inherit.
8 Fa hoe t’i Avrame, Ry Talè Iehovà, aia ty haharendrehako ty hatò t’ie ho fanañako?
And he said, Master [and] Lord, how shall I know that I shall inherit it?
9 Aa le hoe re tama’e: Añendeso ty kiloa telo-ay, naho ty ose-vave telo-taoñe, vaho ty añondrilahy telo-taoñe, naho ty deho vaho ty ana-boromahilala.
And he said to him, Take for me an heifer in her third year, and a she-goat in her third year, and a ram in his third year, and a dove and a pigeon.
10 Aa le nandesa’ i Avrame naho nisalàhe’e vaho nalaha’e hifañatreke i tampa’e rey fe tsy nisalahe’e o voroñeo.
So he took to him all these, and divided them in the midst, and set them opposite to each other, but the birds he did not divide.
11 Ie nivotrak’ amy henay o koàkeo le sinoi’ i Avrame añe.
And birds came down upon the bodies, [even] upon the divided parts of them, and Abram sat down by them.
12 Nitsofotse i àndroy, le nilampon-drotse t’i Avrame, vaho ingo nandrongoñe aze ty hamoromoroñañe nampangebahebake.
And about sunset a trance fell upon Abram, and behold! a great gloomy terror falls upon him.
13 Le hoe Re amy Avrame, Mahafohina an-katò te ho ambahiny an-tane tsy a’ iareo o tarira’oo naho hitoroñe iareo vaho hampisotrieñe efa-jato taoñe.
And it was said to Abram, You shall surely know that your seed shall be a sojourner in a land not their won, and they shall enslave them, and afflict them, and humble them four hundred years.
14 Le ho zakàko i tane mañondevo iareoy vaho hinday vara tsifotofoto t’ie hiakatse boak’ ao.
And the nation whoever they shall serve I will judge; and after this, they shall come forth hither with much property.
15 Fa homb’ aman-droae’o mb’eo am-pierañeràñan-drehe vaho haleveñe ami’ty taoñe soa haantetse.
But you shall depart to your fathers in peace, nourished in a good old age.
16 Hitampoly atoy iereo ami’ty tariratse fah’ efatse, amy te mbe tsy heneke ty hakeo’ o nte-Emoreo.
And in the fourth generation they shall return hither, for the sins of the Amorites are not yet filled up, even until now.
17 Ie nimotake i àndroy vaho nimaìeñe, le niheo mb’eo ty valàñe nahatoeñe naho ty foroha nibela niranga añivo o linili’eo.
And when the sun was about to set, there was a flame, and behold a smoking furnace and lamps of fire, which passed between these divided pieces.
18 Amy andro zay ty nanoa’ Iehovà fañina amy Avrame ami’ty hoe, Atoloko amo tarira’oo ty tane hirik’amy saka’ i Mitsraimey pak’ amy oñe jabajabay, i oñe Eofratay;
In that day the Lord made a covenant with Abram, saying, To your seed I will give this land, from the river of Egypt to the great river Euphrates.
19 naho o nte-Keneo, o nte-Kenizeo, o nte-Kadmoneo,
The Kenites, and the Kenezites, and the Kedmoneans,
20 o nte-Kheteo, o nte-Perizeo, o nte-Rafào,
and the Chettites, and the Pherezites, and the Raphaim,
21 o nte-Emoreo, o nte-Kanàneo, o nte-Girgaseo, vaho o nte-Ieboseo.
and the Amorites, and the Chananites, and the Evites, and the Gergesites, and the Jebusites.
