Genesis 15
1 After these events, the word of the LORD came to Abram in a vision: “Do not be afraid, Abram. I am your shield, your very great reward.”
Phat chomkhat jou nung hin; Pathen in gaovin Abram aki houlim pin hitin asei peh'e. “Abram imacha kicha hih in, ajeh chu keiman ka huhding; kipa man jong atam atam na chan ding ahi,” ati.
2 But Abram replied, “O Lord GOD, what can You give me, since I remain childless, and the heir of my house is Eliezer of Damascus?”
Abram in adonbut in, “O Pakai Pathen loupi pen nangma phatna na phatthei hohi keiman chapa kanei poi, ajeh chu nangman chate ding nei peh lou jeh in, ka insung a soh a pang Eliezer Damascus amapa bou hin ka gou alo ding joh in aum tai.
3 Abram continued, “Behold, You have given me no offspring, so a servant in my household will be my heir.”
Pathen nang man keima chilhah ding a chikhai ding, neipe ta pon, hijeh a chu ka sohte lah a khat hin ka gou alo ding ahi tai.
4 Then the word of the LORD came to Abram, saying, “This one will not be your heir, but one who comes from your own body will be your heir.”
Pathen in ama chu ahoulim pin, “Ahipoi nangma soh hon na gou alo thei lou ding ahi, nangma a kona chapa um ding ama chun na gou alo ding ahi.”
5 And the LORD took him outside and said, “Now look to the heavens and count the stars, if you are able.” Then He told him, “So shall your offspring be.”
Hichun Pathenin Abram chu polama akou doh in aki hou pin, “Vanchung lam ven Ahsi ho khu simtem in nasim jou nah em? Hitobang chu ahi na chilhah atam ding dan chu,” ati.
6 Abram believed the LORD, and it was credited to him as righteousness.
Chuin Abram in jong Pakaiya tahsan na dihtah in aneitan ahile hichu ama ding in dihchan nan akisimpeh tai.
7 The LORD also told him, “I am the LORD, who brought you out of Ur of the Chaldeans to give you this land to possess.”
Chujou vin Pathen in Abram ahoulimpi kit in, “Hiche gamhi nalo ding in na pe-ing'e tia Chaldea gam Ur khopia kona nangma na hin puidoh a Pakai chu keima kahi,” ati.
8 But Abram replied, “Lord GOD, how can I know that I will possess it?”
Hichun Abram in adonbut in, “O Pakai ka Pathen hiche hi kalo ding ahi ti ipia iti kahet doh thei ding ham?” ati.
9 And the LORD said to him, “Bring Me a heifer, a goat, and a ram, each three years old, along with a turtledove and a young pigeon.”
Hichun Pathen in Abram ahou lim pin ajah a, “Bongnou kum thum lhingsa khat toh, kelngoi chal kumthum lhingsa khat toh, chule vahui nou khat le vapal nou khat ka henga hin choi tan,” ati peh e.
10 So Abram brought all these to Him, split each of them down the middle, and laid the halves opposite each other. The birds, however, he did not cut in half.
Hichun Abram in hichengse chu ape doh in athat in, hichun ahapsat cheh in, ahap lang ton alupsah in hinlah vacha ho vang chu asemkeh poi.
11 And the birds of prey descended on the carcasses, but Abram drove them away.
Chuin muthongho ahung lenglhao vin hiche sa kikoi ho chu ane kigo uvin ahile Abram in muthongho chu anodoh jin ahi.
12 As the sun was setting, Abram fell into a deep sleep, and suddenly great terror and darkness overwhelmed him.
Chuin nisa alhum dingkon in Abram ahung imut soh tan, chu jongle tijat umtah muthim lhangkhal ahung jing in amapa chu ahin jinkhum tai.
13 Then the LORD said to Abram, “Know for certain that your descendants will be strangers in a land that is not their own, and they will be enslaved and mistreated four hundred years.
Hichun Pathen in Abram ahoulimpi in, “Nangman thonlou dinga nahet ding chu na chilhah hohi gam danga hung mah thah diu ahiye, amaho se chu kum jali sunga mi bol genthei thoh'a ga um ding ahiuve.
14 But I will judge the nation they serve as slaves, and afterward they will depart with many possessions.
Ahin keiman hiche nam sugenthei ho chu ka phulah ding ahi, chule phat ahung sot a achaina teng amaho chu hatah a nei le gou ahin nei diu ahi.
15 You, however, will go to your fathers in peace and be buried at a ripe old age.
Nangman vang lungmong sel'a na pute heng na jot ding, chule na kum lhing set'a na hinkho kichai a na kivui ding ahiye.
16 In the fourth generation your descendants will return here, for the iniquity of the Amorites is not yet complete.”
Chule amaho hi khangli ahung lhin phat le hiche gam'a hi hung ki nungle kit diu ahi, ajeh chu tuchan gei hin Amor mite khan gitlouna hi pilhing lou lai ahiye,” ati.
17 When the sun had set and darkness had fallen, behold, a smoking firepot and a flaming torch appeared and passed between the halves of the carcasses.
Chuin nisa alhum phat in mu athim tan ahile, meikhu belsung khat ah mei al-lenglung khat le meivah tobang khat ahung kitol in, hiche pi chu sa kihapsat a kikoi teni kah achun ahung kitol lelen ahi.
18 On that day the LORD made a covenant with Abram, saying, “To your descendants I have given this land—from the river of Egypt to the great River Euphrates—
Hichun Pathen in Abram chu hitin a kihoulimpi in, kinoptona aneilhon in hiche nichun, “Keiman nason na chilhahte kapeh gam chu hiche hi ahi, Egypt gamgi apat luipi dung gei Euphrate vadung gei,
19 the land of the Kenites, Kenizzites, Kadmonites,
Gamsung tutua Kenites, Kenizzites chule Kadmonites ten atoupha se,
20 Hittites, Perizzites, Rephaites,
Hittites mite Perizzites mite chule Rephaites miten atoupha se,
21 Amorites, Canaanites, Girgashites, and Jebusites.”
Amorites mite ahi-uvin, Canaan mite ahiuvin, Girgash miho ahi uvin, chule Jebus miho gam ahi uve,” ati.
