Genesis 15
1 After these things the LORD’s word came to Abram in a vision, saying, “Don’t be afraid, Abram. I am your shield, your exceedingly great reward.”
Hekah olka phoeiah tah BOEIPA kah olka te mikhlam ah Abram taengla thoeng tih, “Abram rhih boeh. Kai he nang kah photling la ka om, na thapang bahoeng yet ni,” a ti nah.
2 Abram said, “Lord GOD, what will you give me, since I go childless, and he who will inherit my estate is Eliezer of Damascus?”
Tedae Abram loh, “Ka Boeipa Yahovah aw, kai ham balae na khueh? Kai loh cakol la ka van tih kamah im kah Damasaku hoel Eliezer ni ca la ka pang “a ti nah.
3 Abram said, “Behold, you have given no children to me: and, behold, one born in my house is my heir.”
Te phoeiah Abram loh, “Kai taengah tiingan nan paek moenih he. Te dongah ka im kah camoe ni ka pang coeng he,” a ti nah.
4 Behold, the LORD’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 vaengah BOEIPA kah olka loh Abram la, “Anih na pang pawt vetih namah ko khui lamkah aka thoeng te tloep na pang eh ne,” a ti nah.
5 The LORD 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.”
Te phoeiah Abram te poeng la a khuen tih, “Vaan ke paelki lamtah aisi ke tae mai lah. Amih te na tae thai atah a thui vanbangla nang kah tiingan la om van ni,” a ti nah.
6 He believed in the LORD, who credited it to him for righteousness.
Te daengah BOEIPA te a tangnah tih anih kah tangnah te duengnah la a nawt pah.
7 He said to Abram, “I am the LORD who brought you out of Ur-Kasdim, to give you this land to inherit it.”
Te dongah ni anih taengah, “Hekah khohmuen he nang taengah paek ham neh pang sak ham Khalden Ur lamkah nang aka khuen te BOEIPA kamah ni,” a ti nah.
8 He said, “Lord GOD, how will I know that I will inherit it?”
Tedae anih loh, “Ka Boeipa Yahovah aw, anih ka pang ni tila metlamlae ka ming eh?” a ti nah.
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.”
Te dongah Abram la, “Kai taengah vaitola kum thum neh maae a la kum thum, tutal kum thum, vahu, vahuica hang khuen,” a ti nah.
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.
Te rhoek boeih te a taengla a khuen pah phoeiah a laklung ah a saek. Te phoeiah a kaekvang te a hui taengah a hmaitoh sak tih a tloeng pah. Tedae vathawt te tah saek pawh.
11 The birds of prey came down on the carcasses, and Abram drove them away.
Te vaengah vatlung loh maehrhok te a cuk thil tih Abram loh a hawt.
12 When the sun was going down, a deep sleep fell on Abram. Now terror and great darkness fell on him.
Tedae khomik tla tih Abram khaw ih ham a yalh thuk vaengah a soah mueirhih tamyin loh khuk a tlak thil tarha.
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.
Te phoeiah Abram te, “Na tiingan loh amah khohmuen mueh ah yinlai la om ni. Te vaengah amih te thotat uh vetih kum ya li a phaep uh ni tila ming rhoe ming laeh,” a ti nah.
14 I will also judge that nation, whom they will serve. Afterward they will come out with great wealth;
Tedae a thotat pah namtom te khaw kai loh lai ka tloek vetih a hnukah nang kah tiingan tah khuehtawn a yet neh ha pawk uh ni.
15 but you will go to your fathers in peace. You will be buried at a good old age.
Te vaengah nang tah a then la na sampok neh na pa rhoek taengah na cet vetih sading la n'up uh ni.
16 In the fourth generation they will come here again, for the iniquity of the Amorite is not yet full.”
Tedae tahae due Amori kathaesainah a rhoeh pawt dongah tahae lamkah a khong li vaengah ha bal uh ni.
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.
Khomik tla tih a hmuep a pha vaengah hmaipom hmaikhu neh hmaithoi hmai te maehpoel laklo ah a pak.
18 In that day the LORD 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:
Tekah khohnin ah BOEIPA loh Abram taengah moi a boh tih, “Tahae kah khohmuen he Egypt tuiva lamkah tuiva puei Perath tuiva duela,
19 the land of the Kenites, the Kenizzites, the Kadmonites,
Keni te khaw, Kenizzi te khaw, Kadmoni khaw,
20 the Hittites, the Perizzites, the Rephaim,
Khitti khaw, Perizzi khaw, Rapha khaw,
21 the Amorites, the Canaanites, the Girgashites, and the Jebusites.”
Amori khaw, Kanaani khaw, Girgashi khaw, Jebusi khaw, nang kah tiingan taengah ka paek coeng,” a ti nah.
