उत्पत्ति 15
1 यी सबै कुराहरू भएपछि दर्शनमा अब्रामकहाँ यसो भन्ने परमप्रभुको वचन आयो, “अब्राम, नडराऊ । म नै तेरो ढाल तेरो धेरै महान् इनाम हुँ ।”
After these things the word of the LORD came to Abram in a vision, saying, Fear not, Abram: I am thy shield, and thy exceeding great reward.
2 अब्रामले भने, “हे परमप्रभु, तपाईंले मलाई के दिनुहुन्छ र?, किनभने म सनतानविहीन रहिरहेको छु र मेरो गरको उत्तराधिकार दमस्कसको एलीएजर हुनेछ ।”
And Abram said, LORD God, what wilt thou give me, seeing I go childless, and the heir of my house is this Eliezer of Damascus?
3 अब्रामले भने, “हे्र्नुहोस्, तपाईंले मलाई कुनै पनि सन्तान नदिनुभएको हुनाले मेरो घरको भण्डारे नै मेरो उत्तराधिकार हुन्छ ।”
And Abram said, Behold, to me thou hast given no seed: and, lo, one born in my house is my heir.
4 हेर्नुहोस्, त्यसपछि यसो भन्ने परमप्रभुको वचन तिनीकहाँ आयो, “यो मानिस तेरो उत्तराधिकार हुनेछैन; तर तेरै शरीरबाट जन्मिने नै तेरो उत्तराधिकारी हुनेछ ।”
And, behold, the word of the LORD came to him, saying, This shall not be thy heir; but he that shall come forth out of thy own loins shall be thy heir.
5 अनि उहाँले तिनलाई बाहिर ल्याउनुभयो र भन्नुभयो, “आकाशतिर हेर् र ताराहरूलाई गन्, यदि तैले तिनीहरूलाई गन्न सक्छस् भने ।” अनि उहाँले तिनलाई भन्नुभयो, “तेरा सन्तानहरू पनि यस्तै हुनेछन् ।”
And he brought him forth abroad, and said, Look now toward heaven, and count the stars, if thou art able to number them: and he said to him, So shall thy seed be.
6 तिनले परमप्रभुमा विश्वास गरे र उहाँले यसलाई तिनको धार्मिकताको रूपमा गन्नुभयो ।”
And he believed in the LORD; and he counted it to him for righteousness.
7 उहाँले तिनलाई भन्नुभयो, “म परमप्रभु हुँ, जसले यो भूमि तँलाई दिन कल्दीहरूका ऊरबाट निकालेर ल्यायो ।”
And he said to him, I am the LORD that brought thee out of Ur of the Chaldees, to give thee this land to inherit it.
8 तिनले उहाँलाई भने, “हे परमप्रभु परमेश्वर, मैले यो प्राप्त गर्नेछु भनी मैले कसरी थाहा पाउने नि?”
And he said, Lord GOD, by what shall I know that I shall inherit it?
9 तब उहाँले तिनलाई भन्नुभयो, “मलाई तिन वर्षको एउटा कोरली, तिन वर्षको बाख्राको एउटा पाठी, तिन वर्षको एउटा थुमा, एउटा ढुकुर र एउटा परेवा लेऊ ।”
And he said to him, Take me an heifer of three years old, and a female goat of three years old, and a ram of three years old, and a turtledove, and a young pigeon.
10 तिनले ती सबै उहाँकहाँ ल्याए र तिनीहरूलाई दुई-दुई फ्याक गरेर काटे अनि हरेक फ्याकलाई आमनेसामने गरी राखे, तर पक्षीहरूलाईचाहिँ तिनले दुई फ्याक पारेनन् ।
And he took to him all these, and divided them in the midst, and laid each piece one against another: but the birds he did not divide.
11 शिकारी चराहरू सिनोहरूमाथि झम्टिँदा अब्रामले तिनीहरूलाई धपाए ।
And when the fowls came down upon the carcases, Abram drove them away.
12 घाम डुब्न लाग्दा अब्राम अब्राम मस्न निद्रामा परे र हेर, तिनलाई गाढा र डरलाग्दो अन्धकारले छोप्यो ।
And when the sun was going down, a deep sleep fell upon Abram; and, lo, an horror of great darkness fell upon him.
13 त्यपछि परमप्रभुले तिनलाई भन्नुभयो, “तेरा सन्तानहरू तिनीहरूको आफ्नो नभएको (अर्काको) मुलुकमा प्रवासी हुनेछन् र तिनीहरूलाई चार सय वर्षसम्म दास बनाइनेछन् र अत्याचार गरिनेछन् ।
And he said to Abram, Know certainly 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 तिनीहरूले सेवा गरेको देशको मैले न्यान गर्नेछु र त्यसपछि तिनीहरू प्रशस्त धन-सम्पत्तिहरूसहित निस्केर आउनेछन् ।
And also that nation, which they shall serve, will I judge: and afterward shall they come out with great substance.
15 तर तँचाहिँ तेरा पिता-पूर्खाहरूकहाँ शान्तिमा जानेछस् र तँलाई वृद्धवस्थामा दफन गरिनेछ ।
And thou shalt go to thy fathers in peace; thou shalt be buried in a good old age.
16 तिनीहरू चौथो पुस्तामा फेरि यहाँ आउनेछन्, किनकि एमोरीहरूको अधर्मको सिमा अझै पुगेको छैन ।”
But in the fourth generation they shall come here again: for the iniquity of the Amorites is not yet full.
17 सूर्य अस्ताउँदा र साँझ पर्दा, हेर, धूवाँ आइरहेको मकल र बलिरहेको आगोको ज्वाला ती फ्याकहरूका बिच भएर गयो ।
And it came to pass, that, when the sun had gone down, and it was dark, behold a smoking furnace, and a burning lamp that passed between those pieces.
18 त्यसै दिन परमप्रभुले यसो भनेर अब्रामसँग करार बाँध्नुभयो, “म तेरा सन्तानहरूलाई यसैद्वारा यो भूमि दिन्छु, जुन मिश्रादेखि महानदी अर्थात् युफ्रेटिससम्म छ-
In that same day the LORD made a covenant with Abram, saying, To thy seed have I given this land, from the river of Egypt to the great river, the river Euphrates:
19 केनीहरू, कनज्जीहरू, कदोनीहरू,
The Kenites, and the Kenizzites, and the Kadmonites,
20 हित्तीहरू, परिज्जीहरू, रपाईहरू,
And the Hittites, and the Perizzites, and the Rephaims,
21 एमोरीहरू, कनानीहरू, गिर्गाशीहरू र यबूसीहरूलाई दिन्छु ।
And the Amorites, and the Canaanites, and the Girgashites, and the Jebusites.
