1 Yeinom akyiri no, Awurade kasa kyerɛɛ Abram wɔ anisoadehunu mu sɛ, “Abram, nsuro. Meyɛ wo kyɛm. Meyɛ wo kyɛfa a ɛsom bo.”
After these deades ye worde of God came vnto Abram in a vision saynge feare not Abram I am thy shilde and thy rewarde shalbe exceadynge greate.

3 Na Abram toaa so sɛ, “Wommaa me mma enti, akoa a wɔwoo no wɔ me fie no na ɔbɛdi mʼadeɛ.”
And Abram sayd: se to me hast thou geven no seed: lo a lad borne in my housse shalbe myne heyre.
4 Ɛnna Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Abram sɛ, “Saa ɔbarima yi renni wʼadeɛ da, agye wʼankasa wo yafumma.”

And he brought him out at the doores ad sayde. Loke vpp vnto heaven and tell the starres yf thou be able to nobre them. And sayde vnto him Even so shall thy seed be.
6 Abram gyee asɛm a Awurade kaeɛ no diiɛ. Ne saa enti, Awurade buu no onipa tenenee.
And Abram beleved the LORde and it was counted to him for rightwesnes.
7 Awurade Onyankopɔn kyerɛɛ Abram bio sɛ, “Mene Awurade a mede wo firi Ur a ɛwɔ Kaldeafoɔ asase so baeɛ sɛ mede saa asase yi rema wo sɛ wʼagyapadeɛ.”
And he sayde vnto hym: I am the LORde that brought the out of Vrin Chaldea to geue the this lande to possesse it.

And he toke all these and devyded them in the myddes and layde euery pece one over agenst a nother. But the foules devyded he not.
11 Na apete bɛsisii mmoa no afunu so no, Abram pamoo wɔn.
And the byrdes fell on the carcases but Abra droue the awaye.
12 Ɛberɛ a owia rekɔtɔ no, Abram daa hatee, na esum kabii a ɛyɛ hu tɔɔ ne so.
And when the sonne was doune there fell a slomber apon Abram. And loo feare and greate darknesse came apon hym.

And he sayde vnto Abram: knowe this of a suertie that thi seed shalbe a straunger in a lande that perteyneth not vnto the. And they shall make bondmen of them and entreate them evell iiij. hundred yeares.
14 Nanso, mɛtwe saa ɔman a wʼasefoɔ bɛsom wɔn no aso, na ɛno akyiri no, wɔbɛfiri ɔman a wɔsom mu no mu aba sɛ adefoɔ.
But the nation whom they shall serue wyll I iudge. And after warde shall they come out wyth greate substace.
15 Wo deɛ, wobɛwu asomdwoeɛ mu. Wobɛnyini akyɛre yie ansa na woawu.
Neuerthelesse thou shalt goo vnto thi fathers in peace ad shalt be buried when thou art of a good age:
