Mwanzo 15
1 Baada ya mabo haya neno la Yahwe likamjia Abram katika maono, likisema, “Usiogope, Abram! mimi ni ngao yako na thawabu yako kubwa sana.”
After - the things these it came [the] word of Yahweh to Abram in the vision saying may not you fear O Abram I [am] a shield of you reward your [will be] great very.
2 Abram akasema, “Bwana Yahwe, utanipatia nini, kwa kuwa naenda bila mtoto, na mrithi wa nyumba yangu ni Eliezeri wa Dameski?”
And he said Abram O Lord Yahweh what? will you give to me and I [am] going childless and [the] son of [the] acquisition of household my he [is] Damascus Eliezer.
3 Abram akasema, “Kwakuwa hujanipatia uzao, tazama, mwangalizi wa nyumba yangu ndiye mrithi wangu.”
And he said Abram here! to me not you have given offspring and there! [the] son of household my [is] inheriting me.
4 Kisha, tazama, neno la Yahwe likaja kwake, kusema, “Mtu huyu hatakuwa mrithi wako; isipokuwa atakaye toka katika mwili wako ndiye atakuwa mrithi wako.”
And there! [the] word of Yahweh [was] to him saying not he will inherit you this [one] that except [one] who he will come out from inward parts your he he will inherit you.
5 Kisha akamtoa nje, na akasema, Tazama mbinguni, na uzihesabu nyota, ikiwa unaweza kuzihesabu.” Kisha akamwambia, hivyo ndivyo uzao wako utakavyokuwa.
And he brought out him the outside towards and he said look please the heavens towards and count the stars if you are able to count them and he said to him thus it will be offspring your.
6 Akamwamini Yahwe, na akamuhesabia jambo hili kuwa mwenye haki.
And he believed in Yahweh and he credited it to him righteousness.
7 Akamwambia, Mimi ni Yahwe, niliye kutoa katika Uru ya Wakaldayo, na kukupatia nchi hii kuirithi.”
And he said to him I [am] Yahweh who I brought out you from Ur of [the] Chaldeans to give to you the land this to take possession of it.
8 Akasema, “Bwana Yahwe, nitajua je kuwa nitairithi?”
And he said O Lord Yahweh how? will I know that I will take possession of it.
9 Kisha akamwambia, “Nipatie ndama wa umri wa miaka mitatu, mbuzi mke wa umri wa miaka mitatu, na kondoo mume wa umri wa miaka mitatu, na njiwa na mwana njiwa.”
And he said to him bring! to me a heifer three years old and a goat three years old and a ram three years old and a turtle-dove and a young pigeon.
10 Akamletea hivi vyote, akavipasua katika sehemu mbili, akaweka kila kipande kuelekea mwenzake, ila ndege hakuawapasua.
And he brought to him all these and he cut in pieces them in the middle and he set each piece its to meet neighbor its and the bird[s] not he cut in two.
11 Wakati ndege walipokuja juu ya mizoga, Abram akawafukuza.
And it came down the bird[s] of prey on the carcasses and he drove away them Abram.
12 Kisha wakati jua lilipokuwa likizama, Abram akalala usingizi mzito na tazama, hofu ya giza kuu ikamfunika.
And it was the sun [about] to go and a deep sleep it fell on Abram and there! dread darkness great [was] falling on him.
13 Kisha Yahwe akamwambia Abram, “Ujuwe kwa hakika kwamba uzao wako watakuwa wageni katika nchi ambayo si ya kwao, na watatumikishwa na kuteswa kwa miaka mia nne.
And he said to Abram certainly you will know that a sojourner - it will be offspring your in a land [which] not [belongs] to them and they will serve them and they will afflict them four hundred year[s].
14 Nitahukumu taifa ambalo watalitumikia, na baadye watatoka wakiwa na mali nyingi.
And also the nation which they will serve [will be] judging I and after thus they will come out with possession[s] great.
15 Lakini utakwenda kwa baba zako kwa amani, na utazikwa katika uzee mwema.
And you you will go to ancestors your in peace you will be buried in old age good.
16 Katika kizazi cha nne watakuja tena hapa, kwa sababu uovu wa Waamori haujafikia mwisho wake.”
And [the] generation fourth they will return hither for not [is] complete [the] iniquity of the Amorite[s] until now.
17 Jua lilipokuwa limezama na kuwa giza, tazama, chungu cha moshi wenye moto na miali ya mwanga ilipita kati ya vile vipande.
And it was the sun it had gone and darkness it was and there! a fire pot of smoke and a torch of fire which it passed between the pieces these.
18 Siku hiyo Yahwe akafanya agano na Abram, akisema, “Ninatoa nchi hii kwa uzao wako, kutoka mto wa Misri hadi kwenye mto mkuu, Frati -
On the day that he made Yahweh with Abram a covenant saying to offspring your I give the land this from [the] river of Egypt to the river great [the] river of Euphrates.
19 Mkeni, Mkenizi, na Mkadmoni,
The Kenite[s] and the Kenizzite[s] and the Kadmonite[s].
20 Mhiti, Mperizi, Mrefai,
And the Hittite[s] and the Perizzite[s] and the Rephaites.
21 Mwamori, Mkanaani, Mgirgashi, na Myebusi.
And the Amorite[s] and the Canaanite[s] and the Girgashite[s] and the Jebusite[s].
