Genesis 15
1 Lẹ́yìn èyí, ọ̀rọ̀ Olúwa tọ Abramu wá lójú ìran pé, “Abramu má ṣe bẹ̀rù. Èmi ni ààbò rẹ, Èmi sì ni èrè ńlá rẹ.”
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 Ṣùgbọ́n Abramu wí pé, “Olúwa Olódùmarè, kí ni ìwọ yóò fi fún mi níwọ̀n ìgbà tí èmi kò bímọ, Elieseri ará Damasku ni yóò sì jogún mi,”
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 Abramu sì tún tẹ̀síwájú pé, “Ìwọ kò fún mi ní ọmọ, nítorí náà ẹrú nínú ilé mi sì ni yóò jẹ́ àrólé mi.”
And Abram said, Lo, to me thou hast given no seed, and behold, a son of my house will be mine heir.
4 Ọ̀rọ̀ Olúwa sì tún tọ̀ ọ́ wá pé, “Ọkùnrin yìí kọ́ ni yóò jẹ́ àrólé rẹ bí kò ṣe ọmọ tí ìwọ bí fúnra rẹ̀ ni yóò jẹ́ àrólé rẹ.”
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 Olúwa sì mú Abramu jáde sí ìta ó sì wí fún un pé, “Gbé ojú sókè sí ọ̀run kí o sì ka àwọn ìràwọ̀ bí ó bá ṣe pé ìwọ le è kà wọ́n.” Ó sì wí fun un pé, “Nítorí náà, báyìí ni irú-ọmọ rẹ yóò rí.”
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 Abramu gba Olúwa gbọ́, a sì kà á sí òdodo fún un.
And he believed Jehovah; and he reckoned it to him [as] righteousness.
7 Ó sì tún wí fún un pé, “Èmi ni Olúwa tí ó mú ọ jáde láti Uri ti Kaldea láti fún ọ ní ilẹ̀ yìí láti jogún.”
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 Ṣùgbọ́n Abramu wí pé, “Olúwa Olódùmarè, báwo ni mo ṣe lè mọ̀ pé ilẹ̀ náà yóò jẹ́ ohun ìní mi?”
And he said, Lord Jehovah, how shall I know that I shall possess it?
9 Nítorí náà, Olúwa wí fún un pé, “Mú abo màlúù, ewúrẹ́ àti àgbò ọlọ́dún mẹ́ta mẹ́ta wá, àti àdàbà kan àti ọmọ ẹyẹlé kan.”
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 Abramu sì mú gbogbo nǹkan wọ̀nyí wá, ó sì là wọ́n sí méjì méjì, ó sì fi ẹ̀là èkínní kọjú sí èkejì, ṣùgbọ́n kò la àwọn ẹyẹ ní tiwọn.
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 Àwọn ẹyẹ igún sì ń wá sórí òkú ẹran náà, Abramu sì ń lé wọn.
And the birds of prey came down on the carcases; and Abram scared them away.
12 Bí oòrùn ti ń wọ̀, Abramu sùn lọ fọnfọn, òkùnkùn biribiri tí ó kún fún ẹ̀rù sì bò ó.
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 Nígbà náà ni Olúwa wí fún Abramu pé, “Mọ èyí dájú pé, irú-ọmọ rẹ yóò ṣe àtìpó ní ilẹ̀ àjèjì, wọn ó sì sọ wọn di ẹrú, wọn ó sì pọ́n wọn lójú fún irinwó ọdún.
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 Ṣùgbọ́n orílẹ̀-èdè náà tí wọn yóò máa sìn, ni èmi ó dá lẹ́jọ́, lẹ́yìn náà ni wọn ó sì jáde pẹ̀lú ọrọ̀ púpọ̀.
But also that nation which they shall serve I will judge; and afterwards they shall come out with great property.
15 Ṣùgbọ́n ìwọ yóò tọ àwọn baba rẹ lọ ni àlàáfíà, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni ìwọ yóò sì di arúgbó kí a tó gbé ọ sin.
And thou shalt go to thy fathers in peace; thou shalt be buried in a good old age.
16 Ní ìran kẹrin àwọn ìran rẹ yóò padà wá sí ibi. Nítorí ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ àwọn ará Amori kò ì tí ì kún òsùwọ̀n.”
And [in the] fourth generation they shall come hither again; for the iniquity of the Amorites is not yet full.
17 Nígbà tí oòrùn wọ̀ tí ilẹ̀ sì ṣú, ìkòkò iná tí ń ṣèéfín àti ọwọ́ iná sì ń kọjá láàrín ẹ̀là ẹran náà.
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 Ní ọjọ́ náà gan an ni Olúwa dá májẹ̀mú pẹ̀lú Abramu, ó sì wí pé, “Àwọn ìran rẹ ni èmi yóò fi ilẹ̀ yìí fún, láti odò Ejibiti dé odò ńlá Eufurate:
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 ilẹ̀ àwọn ará Keni, àti ti ará Kenissiti, àti ará Kadmoni,
the Kenites, and the Kenizzites, and the Kadmonites,
20 àti ti ará Hiti, àti ti ará Peresi, àti ti ará Refaimu.
and the Hittites, and the Perizzites, and the Rephaim,
21 Àti ti ará Amori, àti ti ará Kenaani, àti ti ará Girgaṣi àti ti ará Jebusi.”
and the Amorites, and the Canaanites, and the Girgashites, and the Jebusites.
