Genesis 15
1 After these things Yahweh’s word came to Abram in a vision, saying, “Don’t be afraid, Abram. I am your shield, your exceedingly great reward.”
Basa ma, Lamatualain natudꞌu Aon neu Abram nae, “Abram! Afiꞌ mumutau. Au usulaꞌe nggo mia musu ma. Ma Au fee nggo hahambuꞌ naeꞌ.”
2 Abram said, “Lord Yahweh, what will you give me, since I go childless, and he who will inherit my estate is Eliezer of Damascus?”
Te Abram nae, “Eee, Lamatualain. Onaꞌ mae Lamatualain nae fee au naeꞌ o, nda ngguna saa saꞌ boe. Huu au nda ma anaꞌ fo fee au tititi-nonosiꞌ sa. Dadꞌi hambu hata-hetoꞌ nae-nae tao neu saa? Neꞌo akaꞌ au ate ngga, Eliasar mia Damsik, hambu basa se.”
3 Abram said, “Behold, you have given no children to me: and, behold, one born in my house is my heir.”
4 Behold, Yahweh’s word came to him, saying, “This man will not be your heir, but he who will come out of your own body will be your heir.”
Te LAMATUALAIN nataa nae, “Nda taꞌo naa sa! Te ho ana ma mana hambu hata-heto ma, nda ate a sa.”
5 Yahweh brought him outside, and said, “Look now toward the sky, and count the stars, if you are able to count them.” He said to Abram, “So your offspring will be.”
Boe ma Ana no Abram dea neu, de nafadꞌe nae, “Mete lalai a dei. Mete sobꞌa nduuꞌ ra. Ho reken mala se, do? Tititi-nonosi mara dei fo ramaheta onaꞌ nduuꞌ ra boe!”
6 He believed in Yahweh, who credited it to him for righteousness.
Abram rena nala ma, ana simbo LAMATUALAIN oꞌola na. De LAMATUALAIN uku nae, Abram rala ndos, huu namahere E.
7 He said to Abram, “I am Yahweh who brought you out of Ur of the Chaldees, to give you this land to inherit it.”
LAMATUALAIN olaꞌ tute nae, “Au ia, Lamatualain. Au mana o nggo lao hela kambo Ur sia atahori Kasdim rae na. Au mana fee rae ia dadꞌi hata-heto ma.”
8 He said, “Lord Yahweh, how will I know that I will inherit it?”
Abram natane nae, “Dadꞌi taꞌo bee LAMATUALAIN? Taꞌo bee fo uhine ae rae ia dadꞌi au hata-heto ngga?”
9 He said to him, “Bring me a heifer three years old, a female goat three years old, a ram three years old, a turtledove, and a young pigeon.”
Boe ma nataa nae, “Taꞌo ia! Uma fo ata tao dalaꞌ esa dadꞌi hehelu-fufuliꞌ neu Au oꞌola Ngga faꞌ ra. De muu haꞌi banda fee Au. Naeni, sapi ine sa, hiek ine sa, ma bibꞌi lombo mone sa. Basa se musi too beꞌe teluꞌ. Boe ma mendi seluꞌ mbui teu esa, no mbui lunda esa.”
10 He brought him all these, and divided them in the middle, and laid each half opposite the other; but he didn’t divide the birds.
Boe ma Abram neu haꞌi basa banda naa ra. De ana sefa se reu beꞌe ruaꞌ. Ana mbedꞌaꞌ sisi naa ra banggi rua neu rae, esa mbali esa, dadꞌi dalaꞌ rua. Te ana nda sefa mbuiꞌ ra sa.
11 The birds of prey came down on the carcasses, and Abram drove them away.
Dei de mbui-mbuiꞌ mana naa sisi mburuꞌ ra rema rae raa sisi naa ra. Te Abram oi hendi se.
12 When the sun was going down, a deep sleep fell on Abram. Now terror and great darkness fell on him.
Relo a nae mopo ma, Abram sungguꞌ nasambeta ma nalamein nae, maꞌahatuꞌ a tatana nala e, losa namatau seli.
13 He said to Abram, “Know for sure that your offspring will live as foreigners in a land that is not theirs, and will serve them. They will afflict them four hundred years.
Ma Lamatualain nafadꞌe e nae, “Abram! Dei fo musodꞌa losa mumulasi mala seli, ma mate mo nemehoꞌot, fo raꞌoi nggo no malolole. Te tititi-nonosi mara dadꞌi atahori manatain sia atahori feaꞌ nusa na. Dei fo atahori sia nusaꞌ naa tao se dadꞌi ate, ma tuni-ndeni se losa too natun haa. Te Au huku-doki nusaꞌ naa atahori nara. Basa fo Au o tititi-nonosi mara lao hela naa, ma rendi basa hata-heto nara.
14 I will also judge that nation, whom they will serve. Afterward they will come out with great wealth;
15 but you will go to your fathers in peace. You will be buried at a good old age.
16 In the fourth generation they will come here again, for the iniquity of the Amorite is not yet full.”
Dei fo Au ulalao tititi-nonosi ka lima ma baliꞌ ia rema. Aleꞌ ia, atahori Amori ra leo sia rae ia. Atahori ia ra deꞌulakaꞌ, te nda feꞌe raseliꞌ sa. Mete ma umbu-ana mara baliꞌ ia rema, Au ae pake se fo hukun atahori Amori ra. Te leleꞌ naa, deꞌulaka nara raseliꞌ ena.”
17 It came to pass that, when the sun went down, and it was dark, behold, a smoking furnace and a flaming torch passed between these pieces.
Tetemba na aiboiꞌ ma, hura rae sa namasu, ma mbele sa mbila, raꞌaundaꞌ tungga sisi dala karuaꞌ ra taladꞌa na.
18 In that day Yahweh made a covenant with Abram, saying, “I have given this land to your offspring, from the river of Egypt to the great river, the river Euphrates:
Leleꞌ naa, LAMATUALAIN helu-fuli no Abram nae, “Au helu fee nusaꞌ ia neu tititi-nonosi mara, mia loe Masir, losa loe Efrat,
19 the land of the Kenites, the Kenizzites, the Kadmonites,
ma atahori Keni, Kenas, Kadmon,
20 the Hittites, the Perizzites, the Rephaim,
Het, Feris, Refaim,
21 the Amorites, the Canaanites, the Girgashites, and the Jebusites.”
Amori, Kanaꞌan, Girgasi, ma Yebus rae nara.”
