< 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 LORD’s word came to Abram in a vision, saying, “Don’t be afraid, Abram. I am your shield, your exceedingly great reward.”
2 अब्रामले भने, “हे परमप्रभु, तपाईंले मलाई के दिनुहुन्छ र?, किनभने म सनतानविहीन रहिरहेको छु र मेरो गरको उत्तराधिकार दमस्कसको एलीएजर हुनेछ ।”
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 अब्रामले भने, “हे्र्नुहोस्, तपाईंले मलाई कुनै पनि सन्तान नदिनुभएको हुनाले मेरो घरको भण्डारे नै मेरो उत्तराधिकार हुन्छ ।”
Abram said, “Behold, you have given no children to me: and, behold, 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 ।”
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 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 ।”
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 तिनले परमप्रभुमा विश्‍वास गरे र उहाँले यसलाई तिनको धार्मिकताको रूपमा गन्‍नुभयो ।”
He believed in the LORD, who credited it to him for righteousness.
7 उहाँले तिनलाई भन्‍नुभयो, “म परमप्रभु हुँ, जसले यो भूमि तँलाई दिन कल्दीहरूका ऊरबाट निकालेर ल्यायो ।”
He said to Abram, “I am the LORD who brought you out of Ur-Kasdim, to give you this land to inherit it.”
8 तिनले उहाँलाई भने, “हे परमप्रभु परमेश्‍वर, मैले यो प्राप्‍त गर्नेछु भनी मैले कसरी थाहा पाउने नि?”
He said, “Lord GOD, how will I know that I will 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 ।”
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 तिनले ती सबै उहाँकहाँ ल्याए र तिनीहरूलाई दुई-दुई फ्याक गरेर काटे अनि हरेक फ्याकलाई आमनेसामने गरी राखे, तर पक्षीहरूलाईचाहिँ तिनले दुई फ्याक पारेनन् ।
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 शिकारी चराहरू सिनोहरूमाथि झम्टिँदा अब्रामले तिनीहरूलाई धपाए ।
The birds of prey came down on the carcasses, and Abram drove them away.
12 घाम डुब्‍न लाग्दा अब्राम अब्राम मस्‍न निद्रामा परे र हेर, तिनलाई गाढा र डरलाग्दो अन्धकारले छोप्यो ।
When the sun was going down, a deep sleep fell on Abram. Now terror and great darkness fell on 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 ।
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 तिनीहरूले सेवा गरेको देशको मैले न्यान गर्नेछु र त्यसपछि तिनीहरू प्रशस्‍त धन-सम्पत्तिहरूसहित निस्केर आउनेछन् ।
I will also judge that nation, whom they will serve. Afterward they will come out with great wealth;
15 तर तँचाहिँ तेरा पिता-पूर्खाहरूकहाँ शान्तिमा जानेछस् र तँलाई वृद्धवस्थामा दफन गरिनेछ ।
but you will go to your fathers in peace. You will be buried at a good old age.
16 तिनीहरू चौथो पुस्तामा फेरि यहाँ आउनेछन्, किनकि एमोरीहरूको अधर्मको सिमा अझै पुगेको छैन ।”
In the fourth generation they will come here again, for the iniquity of the Amorite is not yet full.”
17 सूर्य अस्ताउँदा र साँझ पर्दा, हेर, धूवाँ आइरहेको मकल र बलिरहेको आगोको ज्वाला ती फ्याकहरूका बिच भएर गयो ।
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 त्यसै दिन परमप्रभुले यसो भनेर अब्रामसँग करार बाँध्‍नुभयो, “म तेरा सन्तानहरूलाई यसैद्वारा यो भूमि दिन्छु, जुन मिश्रादेखि महानदी अर्थात् युफ्रेटिससम्म छ-
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 केनीहरू, कनज्‍जीहरू, कदोनीहरू,
the land of the Kenites, the Kenizzites, the Kadmonites,
20 हित्तीहरू, परिज्‍जीहरू, रपाईहरू,
the Hittites, the Perizzites, the Rephaim,
21 एमोरीहरू, कनानीहरू, गिर्गाशीहरू र यबूसीहरूलाई दिन्छु ।
the Amorites, the Canaanites, the Girgashites, and the Jebusites.”
