Bilowgii 15

1 Waxyaalahaas ka dib ereygii Ilaah baa Aabraam ugu yimid muuqasho ahaan, isagoo leh, Aabraamow, ha baqin: anigu waxaan ahay gaashaankaaga, abaalgudkaaguna aad buu u weynaan doonaa.

And after these things the word of the Lord came to Abram in a vision, saying, Fear not, Abram, I shield you, your reward shall be very great.

2 Oo Aabraam wuxuu yidhi, Sayidow Rabbiyow, maxaad i siin doontaa? Waayo, anigu carruurla'aan baan sii socdaa, reerkaygana waxaa dhaxli doona Eliiceser oo ah reer Dimishaq.

And Abram said, Master [and] Lord, what will you give me? whereas I am departing without a child, but the son of Masek my home-born female slave, this Eliezer of Damascus [is mine heir.]

3 Oo Aabraam wuxuu yidhi, Bal eeg, aniga ima aad siin farcan: oo mid gurigayga ku dhashay baa i dhaxlaya.

And Abram said, [I am grieved] since you have given me no seed, but my home-born [servant] shall succeed me.

4 Oo bal eeg, ereygii Rabbigaa u yimid, isagoo leh, Ninkanu kuma dhaxli doono: laakiinse waxaa ku dhaxli doona wiil aad dhali doontid.

And immediately there was a voice of the Lord to him, saying, This shall not be your heir; but he that shall come out of you shall be your heir.

5 Oo dibadduu u soo bixiyey, oo ku yidhi, Bal samada fiiri, oo xiddigaha tiri, haddaad tirin kartid: oo wuxuu ku yidhi, Sidaas oo kalaa farcankaagu ahaan doonaa.

And he brought him out and said to him, Look up now to heaven, and count the stars, if you shall be able to number them fully, and he said, Thus shall your seed be.

6 Oo Rabbiga wuu rumaystay; Ilaahna taas wuxuu ugu tiriyey xaqnimo.

And Abram believed God, and it was counted to him for righteousness.

7 Oo wuxuu ku yidhi isaga, Anigu waxaan ahay Rabbiga kaaga soo kaxeeyey Uur tii reer Kaldayiin, inaan ku siiyo dalkan si aad u dhaxashid.

And he said to him, I am God that brought you out of the land of the Chaldeans, so as to give you this land to inherit.

8 Oo Aabraam wuxuu yidhi, Sayidow Rabbiyow, maxaan ku ogaadaa inaan dhaxli doono?

And he said, Master [and] Lord, how shall I know that I shall inherit it?

9 Oo wuxuu ku yidhi, Ii kaxee qaalin lo' ah oo saddex jir ah, iyo ceesaan saddex jir ah, iyo wan saddex jir ah, iyo qoolley, iyo xamaam yar.

And he said to him, Take for me an heifer in her third year, and a she-goat in her third year, and a ram in his third year, and a dove and a pigeon.

10 Oo wuu u kaxeeyey kuwaas oo dhan, oo badhtankuu ka kala wada gooyay, oo badh kastaba kan kaluu hor dhigay: laakiinse shimbirrihii ma uu kala gooyn.

So he took to him all these, and divided them in the midst, and set them opposite to each other, but the birds he did not divide.

11 Haad baana hilibkii ku soo degtay, laakiinse Aabraam baa ka eryay.

And birds came down upon the bodies, [even] upon the divided parts of them, and Abram sat down by them.

12 Oo kolkii qorraxdu sii dhacaysay, ayaa hurdo aad u weynu Aabraam ku soo dhacday; oo bal eeg, cabsi gudcur weyn leh baa ku soo degtay.

And about sunset a trance fell upon Abram, and behold! a great gloomy terror falls upon him.

13 Markaasuu wuxuu ku yidhi Aabraam, Ogow in hubaal farcankaagu ay dad qalaad ku ahaan doonaan dal aan kooda ahayn, oo ay u adeegi doonaan, oo afar boqol oo sannadood waa la dhibi doonaa;

And it was said to Abram, You shall surely know that your seed shall be a sojourner in a land not their won, and they shall enslave them, and afflict them, and humble them four hundred years.

14 oo weliba quruuntaas ay u adeegi doonaan, xukun baan ku ridi doonaa; oo dabadeedna way ka soo bixi doonaan iyagoo xoolo badan wata.

And the nation whoever they shall serve I will judge; and after this, they shall come forth hither with much property.

15 Laakiinse adigu nabad baad ugu tegi doontaa awowayaashaa, oo waxaa lagu xabaali doonaa adigoo cimri dheer gaadhay.

But you shall depart to your fathers in peace, nourished in a good old age.

16 Oo iyagu qarniga afraad halkan bay ku soo noqon doonaan: waayo, dembigii reer Amor weli ma dhamma.

And in the fourth generation they shall return hither, for the sins of the Amorites are not yet filled up, even until now.

17 Oo waxay noqotay, markii qorraxdii dhacday oo ay ahayd gudcur, in girgire qiiqaya iyo dab ololaya ay dhex mareen cadadkii.

And when the sun was about to set, there was a flame, and behold a smoking furnace and lamps of fire, which passed between these divided pieces.

18 Maalintaas Rabbigu Aabraam buu axdi la dhigtay, isagoo leh, Farcankaagaan siiyey dhulkan, oo laga bilaabo webiga Masar ilaa webiga weyn, oo ah webi Yufraad:

In that day the Lord made a covenant with Abram, saying, To your seed I will give this land, from the river of Egypt to the great river Euphrates.
