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.”
Po teh stvareh je Gospodova beseda prišla Abramu v videnju, rekoč: »Ne boj se, Abram. Jaz sem tvoj ščit in tvoja silno velika nagrada.«
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?”
Abram je rekel: »Gospod Bog, kaj mi hočeš dati, glede na to, da odhajam brez otrok in je oskrbnik moje hiše Eliézer iz Damaska?«
3 Abram said, “Behold, you have given no children to me: and, behold, one born in my house is my heir.”
Abram je rekel: »Glej, nobenega potomca mi nisi dal in glej, nekdo, rojen v moji hiši, je moj dedič.«
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.”
Glej, Gospodova beseda je prišla k njemu, rekoč: »Ta ne bo tvoj dedič, temveč tisti, ki bo izšel iz tvoje lastne notranjosti, bo tvoj dedič.«
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.”
Privedel ga je daleč naprej ter rekel: »Poglej zdaj proti nebu in štej zvezde, če jih lahko prešteješ.« Rekel mu je: »Tako bo tvoje seme.«
6 He believed in Yahweh, who credited it to him for righteousness.
Veroval je v Gospoda in on mu je to štel za pravičnost.
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.”
Rekel mu je: »Jaz sem Gospod, ki te je privedel iz Ura Kaldejcev, da ti dam to deželo, da jo podeduješ.«
8 He said, “Lord Yahweh, how will I know that I will inherit it?”
Rekel je: »Gospod Bog, po čem bom spoznal, da jo bom podedoval?«
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.”
Rekel mu je: »Vzemi mi triletno telico, triletno kozo, triletnega ovna, grlico in mladega goloba.«
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.
Ta je k sebi vzel vse to in jih na sredini razpolovil in vsak kos položil nasproti drugemu, toda ptic ni razpolovil.
11 The birds of prey came down on the carcasses, and Abram drove them away.
Ko je na trupla prišla perjad, jo je Abram odganjal.
12 When the sun was going down, a deep sleep fell on Abram. Now terror and great darkness fell on him.
In ko je sonce zahajalo, je na Abrama padlo globoko spanje in glej, nanj je padla groza velike teme.
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.
Abramu je rekel: »Zagotovo vedi, da bo tvoje potomstvo tuje v deželi, ki ni njihova in jim bo služilo, oni pa jih bodo mučili štiristo let
14 I will also judge that nation, whom they will serve. Afterward they will come out with great wealth;
in prav tako bom sodil ta narod, ki mu bodo služili. Potem pa bodo izšli z velikim imetjem.
15 but you will go to your fathers in peace. You will be buried at a good old age.
Ti pa boš v miru odšel k svojim očetom; pokopan boš v dobri visoki starosti.
16 In the fourth generation they will come here again, for the iniquity of the Amorite is not yet full.”
Toda v četrtem rodu bodo ponovno prišli sèm, kajti krivičnost Amoréjcev še ni dopolnjena.«
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.
Pripetilo se je, da ko je sonce zašlo in je bila tema, glej kadečo talilno peč in gorečo svetilko, ki sta šli med temi kosi.
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:
Na isti dan je Gospod z Abramom sklenil zavezo, rekoč: »Tvojemu semenu sem dal to deželo, od egiptovske reke do vélike reke, reke Evfrata:
19 the land of the Kenites, the Kenizzites, the Kadmonites,
Kenéjce, Kenázovce, Kadmonéjce,
20 the Hittites, the Perizzites, the Rephaim,
Hetejce, Perizéjce, Rafájevce,
21 the Amorites, the Canaanites, the Girgashites, and the Jebusites.”
Amoréjce, Kánaance, Girgašéjce in Jebusejce.«
