Kenehi 15
1 Muri iho i enei mea ka puta moemoea mai te kupu a Ihowa ki a Aperama, ka mea, Kaua e wehi, e Aperama: ko ahau tou whakangungu rakau, tou utu nui whakaharahara.
After these deades ye worde of God came vnto Abram in a vision saynge feare not Abram I am thy shilde and thy rewarde shalbe exceadynge greate.
2 Na ka mea a Aperama, E te Ariki, e Ihowa, ko te aha e homai e koe ki ahau, e haere urikore nei ahau, a ko te taunga o toku whare hei tenei Erietera o Ramahiku?
And Abram answered: LORde Iehouah what wilt thou geue me: I goo childlesse and the cater of myne housse this Eleasar of Damasco hath a sonne.
3 I mea ano a Aperama, Titiro hoki, kahore nei i homai e koe he uri ki ahau: a akuanei, kei tetahi tamaiti i whanau ki toku whare te mahuetanga iho o oku taonga.
And Abram sayd: se to me hast thou geven no seed: lo a lad borne in my housse shalbe myne heyre.
4 Na, kua puta mai te kupu a Ihowa ki a ia, i mea ia, E kore e mahue iho ou taonga mo tena; engari ka mahue iho mo tetahi e puta mai i roto i ou whekau.
And beholde the worde of the LORde spake vnto Abram sayenge: He shall not be thyne heyre but one that shall come out of thyne awne bodye shalbe thyne heyre.
5 Na ka kawea ia e ia ki waho, a ka mea mai, Tena tirohia atu te rangi, taua hoki nga whetu, ki te taea ena e koe te tatau: a ka mea ia ki a ia, Ka pera tou uri.
And he brought him out at the doores ad sayde. Loke vpp vnto heaven and tell the starres yf thou be able to nobre them. And sayde vnto him Even so shall thy seed be.
6 I whakapono hoki ia ki a Ihowa, a ka whakairia ki a ia hei tika.
And Abram beleved the LORde and it was counted to him for rightwesnes.
7 I mea ano ia ki a ia, Ko Ihowa ahau, nana nei koe i kawe mai i Uru o nga Karari, kia hoatu ai ki a koe tenei whenua hei kainga pumau.
And he sayde vnto hym: I am the LORde that brought the out of Vrin Chaldea to geue the this lande to possesse it.
8 Ano ra ko ia, E te Ariki, e Ihowa, ma te aha ka mohio ai ahau ka riro mai tenei i ahau?
And he sayde: LORde God whereby shall I knowe that I shall possesse it?
9 Na ka mea ia ki a ia, Tikina tetahi kau maku, hei te tau toru, me tetahi koati uha, hei te tau toru, me tetahi hipi toa, hei te tau toru, me tetahi kukupa, me tetahi pi kukupa.
And he sayde vnto him: take an heyfer of. iij. yere olde and a she gotte of thre yeres olde and a thre yere olde ram a turtill doue and a yonge pigeon.
10 Na tikina ana e ia aua mea katoa, a tapahia ana i waenganui, whakatakotoria ana nga wahi kia rite mai ki a raua whakawahi: ko nga manu ia kihai i tapahia e ia.
And he toke all these and devyded them in the myddes and layde euery pece one over agenst a nother. But the foules devyded he not.
11 A ka rere iho nga manu ki nga tinana, ka aia atu e Aperama.
And the byrdes fell on the carcases but Abra droue the awaye.
12 Na, i te rerenga o te ra, ka parangia a Aperama e te moe; na ko te whakawehi o te pouri kerekere e tau iho ana ki a ia.
And when the sonne was doune there fell a slomber apon Abram. And loo feare and greate darknesse came apon hym.
13 A ka mea ia ki a Aperama, Kia tino mohio koe, ka noho manene tou uri ki tetahi whenua ehara nei i a ratou, a ka mahi ki a ratou; a e wha rau nga tau e whakatupuria kinotia ai ratou;
And he sayde vnto Abram: knowe this of a suertie that thi seed shalbe a straunger in a lande that perteyneth not vnto the. And they shall make bondmen of them and entreate them evell iiij. hundred yeares.
14 Ka whakawakia ano e ahau te iwi e whakamahia ai ratou: a muri iho ka puta mai ratou me nga taonga maha.
But the nation whom they shall serue wyll I iudge. And after warde shall they come out wyth greate substace.
15 Ko koe ia ka haere marie ki ou matua; ka pai tou koroheketanga, a tanumia noatia koe.
Neuerthelesse thou shalt goo vnto thi fathers in peace ad shalt be buried when thou art of a good age:
16 Kei te wha ia a nga whakatupuranga ka hoki mai ratou ki konei no te mea kahore ano kia tutuki noa te hara o nga Amori.
ad in the fourth generation they shall come hyther agayne for the wekednesse of the Amorites ys not yet full.
17 Na i te tonga o te ra, no ka pouri, na, ko te oumu paowa, me te rama e ka ana, e tika ana i waenganui o aua porohanga.
When the sonne was doune and it was waxed darke: beholde there was a smokynge furnesse and a fyre brand that went betwene the sayde peces.
18 I taua rangi ano ka whakaritea e Ihowa he kawenata ki a Aperama, ka mea ia, Ka hoatu e ahau tenei whenua ki tou uri, mai ra ano o te awa o Ihipa, a tae noa ki te awa nui, ki te awa, ki Uparati:
And that same daye the LORde made a covenaunte with Abram saynge: vnto thy seed wyll I geue thys londe fro the ryver of Egypte even vnto the greate ryver euphrates:
19 Nga Keni, nga Keniti, nga Karamoni,
the kenytes the kenizites the Cadmonites
20 Nga Hiti, nga Perihi, nga Repaima,
the Hethites the Pherezites the Raphaims
21 Nga Amori, nga Kanaani, nga Kirikahi, me nga Iepuhi.
the Amorytes the Canaanites the Gergesites and the Iebusites.
