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.
After these things the word of YHWH has been to Abram in a vision, saying, “Do not fear, Abram, I [am] a shield to you, your reward [is] exceedingly 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 says, “Lord YHWH, what do You give to me, and I am going childless? And an acquired son in my house is Demmesek Eliezer.”
3 Le tinovo’ i Avrame ty hoe: Tsy nimea’o tiry iraho; aa le mpandovako i nitoly an-kibohokoy.
And Abram says, “Behold, to me You have not given seed, and behold, a servant will be my heir.”
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 behold, the word of YHWH [is] to him, saying, “This [one] will not be your heir; but he who comes out from your bowels, he will 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 brings him out outside and says, “Now look attentively toward the heavens and count the stars, if you are able to count them”; and He says to him, “Thus is your seed.”
6 Niantofa’e t’Iehovà, le vinolili’e ho havantañañe ama’e.
And he has believed in YHWH, and He reckons it to him—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 says to him, “I [am] YHWH who brought you out from Ur of the Chaldees, to give to you this land to possess it”;
8 Fa hoe t’i Avrame, Ry Talè Iehovà, aia ty haharendrehako ty hatò t’ie ho fanañako?
and he says, “Lord YHWH, whereby do I know that I possess 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 says to him, “Take for Me a heifer of three years, and a female goat of three years, and a ram of three years, and a turtle-dove, and a young bird”;
10 Aa le nandesa’ i Avrame naho nisalàhe’e vaho nalaha’e hifañatreke i tampa’e rey fe tsy nisalahe’e o voroñeo.
and he takes all these to Him, and separates them in the midst, and puts each piece opposite its fellow, but the bird he has not divided;
11 Ie nivotrak’ amy henay o koàkeo le sinoi’ i Avrame añe.
and the ravenous birds come down on the carcasses, and Abram causes them to turn back.
12 Nitsofotse i àndroy, le nilampon-drotse t’i Avrame, vaho ingo nandrongoñe aze ty hamoromoroñañe nampangebahebake.
And the sun is about to go in, and deep sleep has fallen on Abram, and behold, a terror of great darkness is falling on 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 He says to Abram, “knowing—know that your seed is a sojourner in a land not theirs, and they have served them, and they have afflicted them four hundred years,
14 Le ho zakàko i tane mañondevo iareoy vaho hinday vara tsifotofoto t’ie hiakatse boak’ ao.
and the nation also whom they serve I judge, and after this they go out with great substance;
15 Fa homb’ aman-droae’o mb’eo am-pierañeràñan-drehe vaho haleveñe ami’ty taoñe soa haantetse.
and you come to your fathers in peace; you are buried 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 the fourth generation turns back here, for the iniquity of the Amorite is not yet complete.”
17 Ie nimotake i àndroy vaho nimaìeñe, le niheo mb’eo ty valàñe nahatoeñe naho ty foroha nibela niranga añivo o linili’eo.
And it comes to pass—the sun has gone in, and thick darkness has been and behold, a furnace of smoke, and a lamp of fire, which has passed over between those 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 has YHWH made with Abram a covenant, saying, “To your seed I have given this land, from the River of Egypt to the great river, the Euphrates River,
19 naho o nte-Keneo, o nte-Kenizeo, o nte-Kadmoneo,
with the Kenite, and the Kenizzite, and the Kadmonite,
20 o nte-Kheteo, o nte-Perizeo, o nte-Rafào,
and the Hittite, and the Perizzite, and the Rephaim,
21 o nte-Emoreo, o nte-Kanàneo, o nte-Girgaseo, vaho o nte-Ieboseo.
and the Amorite, and the Canaanite, and the Girgashite, and the Jebusite.”
