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 the Lord came unto Abram in a vision, saying, Fear not Abram; I am thy shield, thy reward shall be exceedingly great.
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 God, what wilt thou give me, seeing I go childless, and the steward of my house is 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, Behold to me thou hast given no seed; and lo, one born in my house will be my 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 the Lord came unto him, saying, This one shall not be thy heir; but he that shall come forth out of thy own bowels shall be thy heir.
5 Innis Abraamin gad baasee, “Samiiwwan ol ilaaliitii yoo urjiiwwan lakkaaʼuu dandeesse lakkaaʼi” jedhe. Itti fufees, “Sanyiin kees akkanuma baayʼata” jedheen.
And he brought him forth abroad, and said, Look now toward the heaven, and count the stars, if thou be able to count them; and he said unto him, So shall thy seed be.
6 Abraam Waaqayyotti amane; innis qajeelummaatti lakkaaʼeef.
And he believed in the Lord; and he accounted it to him for 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 unto him, I am the Lord that brought thee out of Ur of the Chaldees, to give unto thee this land, to inherit it.
8 Abraam garuu, “Yaa Waaqayyoo Gooftaa, ani biyya kana dhaaluu koo akkamittin beeka?” jedhe.
And he said, Lord God, whereby shall I know that I shall inherit 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 unto 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 unto him all these, and divided them in the midst, and laid each piece one opposite the other; 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 upon the carcasses; but Abram drove them away.
12 Utuma aduun dhiʼaa jirtuu hirribni guddaan Abraamin qabe; kunoo dukkanni guddaanii fi sodaachisaan isa irra buʼe.
And when the sun was about going down, a deep sleep fell upon Abram; and lo, a horror, dark and great, 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 unto Abram, Know of a surety that thy seed shall be a stranger in a land which is not theirs, and they will make them serve, and they will afflict them four hundred years.
14 Ani garuu saba isaan akkuma garbootaatti tajaajilan sana nan adaba; ergasii immoo isaan qabeenya guddaa fudhatanii achii baʼu.
And also that nation whom they shall serve, will I judge; and afterward shall they go out with great substance.
15 Ati garuu nagaan gara abbootii keetii dhaqxa; bara dheeraas jiraattee awwaalamta.
But thou shalt come 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.”
Yet the fourth generation shall come hither again; for the iniquity of the Emorites will not be full until then.
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 a smoking furnace, and a burning flame, 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 the Lord made a covenant with Abram, saying, Unto thy seed have I given this land, from the river of Egypt unto 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 Emorites, and the Canaanites, and the Girgashites, and the Jebusites.
