< Genesis 15 >

1 After these things, the worde of the Lord came vnto Abram in a vision, saying, Feare not, Abram, I am thy buckler, and thine exceeding 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 And Abram said, O Lord God, what wilt thou giue me, seeing I goe childlesse, and the steward of mine house is this 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 Againe Abram saide, Beholde, to me thou hast giuen no seede: wherefore loe, a seruant of mine house shalbe mine heire.
4 Then beholde, the worde of the Lord came vnto him, saying, This man shall not be thine heire, but one that shall come out of thine owne bowels, he shalbe thine heire.
Te LAMATUALAIN nataa nae, “Nda taꞌo naa sa! Te ho ana ma mana hambu hata-heto ma, nda ate a sa.”
5 Moreouer he brought him forth and said, Looke vp nowe vnto heauen, and tell ye starres, if thou be able to number them: and he said vnto him, So shall thy seede 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 And Abram beleeued the Lord, and he counted that to him for righteousnesse.
Abram rena nala ma, ana simbo LAMATUALAIN oꞌola na. De LAMATUALAIN uku nae, Abram rala ndos, huu namahere E.
7 Againe he saide vnto him, I am the Lord, that brought thee out of Vr of the Caldees, to giue thee this land to inherite 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 And he said, O Lord God, whereby shall I knowe that I shall inherite it?
Abram natane nae, “Dadꞌi taꞌo bee LAMATUALAIN? Taꞌo bee fo uhine ae rae ia dadꞌi au hata-heto ngga?”
9 Then he said vnto him, Take me an heifer of three yeeres olde, and a shee goate of three yeeres olde, and a ramme of three yeeres olde, a turtle doue also and a 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 So he tooke all these vnto him, and deuided them into the middes, and laid euery piece one against an other: but the birdes deuided he not.
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 Then foules fell on the carkases, and Abram droue them away.
Dei de mbui-mbuiꞌ mana naa sisi mburuꞌ ra rema rae raa sisi naa ra. Te Abram oi hendi se.
12 And when the sunne went downe, there fell an heauie sleepe vpon Abram: and loe, a very fearefull darkenes fell vpon him.
Relo a nae mopo ma, Abram sungguꞌ nasambeta ma nalamein nae, maꞌahatuꞌ a tatana nala e, losa namatau seli.
13 Then he saide to Abram, Knowe for a suretie, that thy seede shalbe a stranger in a land, that is not theirs, foure hundreth yeeres, and shall serue them: and they shall intreate them euill.
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 Notwithstanding the nation, whom they shall serue, will I iudge: and afterward shall they come out with great substance.
15 But thou shalt goe vnto thy fathers in peace, and shalt be buried in a good age.
16 And in the fourth generation they shall come hither againe: for the wickednes of the Amorites 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 Also when the sunne went downe, there was a darkenes: and behold, a smoking fornace, and a firebrand, which went betweene those pieces.
Tetemba na aiboiꞌ ma, hura rae sa namasu, ma mbele sa mbila, raꞌaundaꞌ tungga sisi dala karuaꞌ ra taladꞌa na.
18 In that same day the Lord made a couenant with Abram, saying, Vnto thy seede haue I giuen this lande, from the riuer of Egypt vnto the great riuer, the riuer 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 Kenites, and the Kenizites, and the Kadmonites,
ma atahori Keni, Kenas, Kadmon,
20 And the Hittites, and the Perizzites, and the Rephaims,
Het, Feris, Refaim,
21 The Amorites also, and the Canaanites, and the Girgashites, and the Iebusites.
Amori, Kanaꞌan, Girgasi, ma Yebus rae nara.”
