1 Waxyaalahaas ka dib ereygii Ilaah baa Aabraam ugu yimid muuqasho ahaan, isagoo leh, Aabraamow, ha baqin: anigu waxaan ahay gaashaankaaga, abaalgudkaaguna aad buu u weynaan doonaa.
Some time later, Abram had a vision in which Yahweh spoke to him and said, “Do not be afraid of (anything/your enemies). I will protect you [MTY], and I will give a great reward.”
2 Oo Aabraam wuxuu yidhi, Sayidow Rabbiyow, maxaad i siin doontaa? Waayo, anigu carruurla'aan baan sii socdaa, reerkaygana waxaa dhaxli doona Eliiceser oo ah reer Dimishaq.
But Abram replied, “Yahweh God, how can you give me what I truly want, because I have no children, and the one who will be like a son and inherit all my possessions is my servant Eliezer from Damascus!”
3 Oo Aabraam wuxuu yidhi, Bal eeg, aniga ima aad siin farcan: oo mid gurigayga ku dhashay baa i dhaxlaya.
Abram added, “You have not given me any children, so think about this: A servant in my household will inherit all I own!”
4 Oo bal eeg, ereygii Rabbigaa u yimid, isagoo leh, Ninkanu kuma dhaxli doono: laakiinse waxaa ku dhaxli doona wiil aad dhali doontid.
Yahweh replied, “No! He will not be the one who will inherit it. Instead, you yourself will be the father of the one who will inherit everything you own.”
5 Oo dibadduu u soo bixiyey, oo ku yidhi, Bal samada fiiri, oo xiddigaha tiri, haddaad tirin kartid: oo wuxuu ku yidhi, Sidaas oo kalaa farcankaagu ahaan doonaa.
Then Yahweh took Abram outside [of his tent] and said, “Look up at the sky! Can you count the stars? No, you cannot count them because there are so many of them, and your descendants will be as numerous as the stars.”
6 Oo Rabbiga wuu rumaystay; Ilaahna taas wuxuu ugu tiriyey xaqnimo.
Abram believed that what Yahweh said would happen. And because of that, Yahweh considered that Abram was righteous.
7 Oo wuxuu ku yidhi isaga, Anigu waxaan ahay Rabbiga kaaga soo kaxeeyey Uur tii reer Kaldayiin, inaan ku siiyo dalkan si aad u dhaxashid.
Yahweh also said to him, “I am Yahweh. I am the one who brought you from Ur in Chaldea land. I brought you here to give you this land to possess.”
8 Oo Aabraam wuxuu yidhi, Sayidow Rabbiyow, maxaan ku ogaadaa inaan dhaxli doono?
But Abram replied, “Yahweh God, how can I know for sure that this land will belong to me?”
9 Oo wuxuu ku yidhi, Ii kaxee qaalin lo' ah oo saddex jir ah, iyo ceesaan saddex jir ah, iyo wan saddex jir ah, iyo qoolley, iyo xamaam yar.
God said to him, “Bring a three-year-old heifer and a three-year-old goat to me, and a dove and a pigeon.”
10 Oo wuu u kaxeeyey kuwaas oo dhan, oo badhtankuu ka kala wada gooyay, oo badh kastaba kan kaluu hor dhigay: laakiinse shimbirrihii ma uu kala gooyn.
So Abram brought all of them and killed them and cut each of the animals in half. He arranged the halves of each one, side by side. But he did not cut the pigeon and dove in half.
11 Haad baana hilibkii ku soo degtay, laakiinse Aabraam baa ka eryay.
Birds that eat dead flesh came down to eat the carcasses, but Abram shooed them away.
12 Oo kolkii qorraxdu sii dhacaysay, ayaa hurdo aad u weynu Aabraam ku soo dhacday; oo bal eeg, cabsi gudcur weyn leh baa ku soo degtay.
As the sun was going down, Abram fell sound asleep, and suddenly everything around him became dark and frightening.
13 Markaasuu wuxuu ku yidhi Aabraam, Ogow in hubaal farcankaagu ay dad qalaad ku ahaan doonaan dal aan kooda ahayn, oo ay u adeegi doonaan, oo afar boqol oo sannadood waa la dhibi doonaa;
Then God said to Abram, “I want you to know that your descendants will become foreigners living in a land that does not belong to them. They will become slaves of the owners of that land. The owners of the land will mistreat them for 400 years.
14 oo weliba quruuntaas ay u adeegi doonaan, xukun baan ku ridi doonaa; oo dabadeedna way ka soo bixi doonaan iyagoo xoolo badan wata.
But then I will punish the people of that country that made them become slaves, and then your descendants will leave that country, taking many possessions with them.
15 Laakiinse adigu nabad baad ugu tegi doontaa awowayaashaa, oo waxaa lagu xabaali doonaa adigoo cimri dheer gaadhay.
But as for you, you will die [EUP] peacefully when you are very old.
16 Oo iyagu qarniga afraad halkan bay ku soo noqon doonaan: waayo, dembigii reer Amor weli ma dhamma.
After your descendants have been slaves for 400 years, they will return here, and take control of this land and defeat the Amor people-group. Those people will, because those people have not yet sinned enough to deserve to be punished now.”
17 Oo waxay noqotay, markii qorraxdii dhacday oo ay ahayd gudcur, in girgire qiiqaya iyo dab ololaya ay dhex mareen cadadkii.
When the sun had set and it had become dark, [unexpectedly] a blazing torch and a clay pot containing burning coals from which smoke was rising appeared and went between the halves of the animals.
18 Maalintaas Rabbigu Aabraam buu axdi la dhigtay, isagoo leh, Farcankaagaan siiyey dhulkan, oo laga bilaabo webiga Masar ilaa webiga weyn, oo ah webi Yufraad:
And on that day Yahweh made an agreement with Abram. Yahweh told him, “I will give to your descendants all the land between the river that is on the eastern border of Egypt to the south, and north to the huge Euphrates River.
19 reer Qeyn, iyo reer Qenas, iyo reer Qadmon,
That is the land where the Ken, the Keniz, the Kidmon,
20 iyo reer Xeed, iyo reer Feris, iyo reer Refaa'iim,
the Heth, the Periz, the Repha,
21 iyo reer Amor, iyo reer Kancaan, iyo reer Girgaash, iyo reer Yebuus.
the Amor, the Canaan, the Girgash, and the Tebus people-groups live.”
