Uumama 15
1 Kana booddee dubbiin Waaqayyoo mulʼataan gara Abraam dhufee akkana jedhe; “Yaa Abraam hin sodaatin; ani gaachana keetii fi gatii kee guddicha.”
After these things the word of Jehovah came to Abram in a vision, saying, Fear not, Abram; I am thy shield, thy exceeding great reward.
2 Abraam garuu, “Yaa Waaqayyo Gooftaa, waan ani ijoollee hin qabneef namni qabeenya koo dhaaluuf jiru Eliiʼezer namicha Damaasqoo kana; egaa ati maal naa kennita?” jedhe.
And Abram said, Lord Jehovah, what wilt thou give me? seeing I go childless, and the steward of my house is this Eliezer of Damascus.
3 Abraam, “Kunoo ati ijoollee tokko illee naa hin kennine; hojjetaan mana koo jiraatu tokko kunoo na dhaaluuf jira” jedhe.
And Abram said, Lo, to me thou hast given no seed, and behold, a son of my house will be mine heir.
4 Kunoo dubbiin Waaqayyoo gara isaa dhufee, “Ilma gudeeda keetiitu dhaaltuu kee taʼa malee namichi kun dhaaltuu kee hin taʼu” jedhe.
And behold, the word of Jehovah [came] to him, saying, This shall not be thine heir, but he that will come forth out of thy body shall be thine heir.
5 Innis Abraamin gad baasee, “Samiiwwan ol ilaaliitii yoo urjiiwwan lakkaaʼuu dandeesse lakkaaʼi” jedhe. Itti fufees, “Sanyiin kees akkanuma baayʼata” jedheen.
And he led him out, and said, Look now toward the heavens, and number the stars, if thou be able to number them. And he said to him, So shall thy seed be!
6 Abraam Waaqayyotti amane; innis qajeelummaatti lakkaaʼeef.
And he believed Jehovah; and he reckoned it to him [as] righteousness.
7 Innis, “Ani Waaqayyo isa akka ati ishee dhaaltuuf biyya kana siif kennuuf jedhee Uuri biyya Kaldootaa keessaa si baasee dha” jedheen.
And he said to him, I am Jehovah who brought thee out of Ur of the Chaldeans, to give thee this land to possess it.
8 Abraam garuu, “Yaa Waaqayyoo Gooftaa, ani biyya kana dhaaluu koo akkamittin beeka?” jedhe.
And he said, Lord Jehovah, how shall I know that I shall possess it?
9 Kanaafuu Waaqayyo, “Goromsa tokko, reʼee tokkoo fi korbeessa hoolaa tokko kanneen tokkoon tokkoon isaanii waggaa sadii sadii guutan, akkasumas gugee tokkoo fi gugee sookkee tokko naa fidi” jedheen.
And he said to him, Take me a heifer of three years old, and a she-goat of three years old, and a ram of three years old, and a turtle-dove, and a young pigeon.
10 Abraamis warra kana hunda gara isaatti fidee, qixxee lamaanitti kukkute; warra qixxee lamaanitti kukkutamanis gamaa gamana kaaʼe; simbirroota garuu qixxee lamaanitti hin kukkunne.
And he took all these, and divided them in the midst, and laid the half of each opposite its fellow; but the birds he did not divide.
11 Ergasii allaattiin foon sanatti gad buute; Abraam garuu irraa ariʼe.
And the birds of prey came down on the carcases; and Abram scared them away.
12 Utuma aduun dhiʼaa jirtuu hirribni guddaan Abraamin qabe; kunoo dukkanni guddaanii fi sodaachisaan isa irra buʼe.
And as the sun was just going down, a deep sleep fell upon Abram; and behold, a horror, a great darkness, fell upon him.
13 Waaqayyos akkana isaan jedhe; “Akka sanyiin kee biyya kan isaa hin taʼin keessatti alagaa taʼee waggaa dhibba afuris achitti garboomfamee cunqurfamu dhugumaan beeki.
And he said to Abram, Know assuredly that thy seed will be a sojourner in a land [that is] not theirs, and they shall serve them; and they shall afflict them four hundred years.
14 Ani garuu saba isaan akkuma garbootaatti tajaajilan sana nan adaba; ergasii immoo isaan qabeenya guddaa fudhatanii achii baʼu.
But also that nation which they shall serve I will judge; and afterwards they shall come out with great property.
15 Ati garuu nagaan gara abbootii keetii dhaqxa; bara dheeraas jiraattee awwaalamta.
And thou shalt go to thy fathers in peace; thou shalt be buried in a good old age.
16 Sanyiin kee dhaloota afuraffaatti as deebiʼa; cubbuun Amoorotaa amma iyyuu hin guunneetii.”
And [in the] fourth generation they shall come hither again; for the iniquity of the Amorites is not yet full.
17 Yommuu aduun lixxee dukkanaaʼettis kunoo barbadaan ibiddaa aaru guca tokko wajjin mulʼatee foon kukkutame sana gidduu darbe.
And it came to pass when the sun had gone down, and it was dark, that behold, there was a smoking furnace, and a flame of fire which passed between those pieces.
18 Gaafa sanas Waaqayyo akkana jedhee Abraam wajjin kakuu gale; “Ani biyya laga Gibxii jalqabee hamma laga Efraaxiis guddichaatti jiru kana sanyii keetiif nan kenna;
On the same day Jehovah made a covenant with Abram, saying, Unto thy seed I give this land, from the river of Egypt to the great river, the river Euphrates;
19 kunis biyya Qeenotaa, Qeneezotaa, Qadmoonotaas,
the Kenites, and the Kenizzites, and the Kadmonites,
20 kan Heetotaa, Feerzotaa, Refaayimootaa,
and the Hittites, and the Perizzites, and the Rephaim,
21 Amoorotaa, Kanaʼaanotaa Girgaashotaatii fi kan Yebuusotaa jechuu dha.”
and the Amorites, and the Canaanites, and the Girgashites, and the Jebusites.
