Chakruok 15
1 Bangʼ ma, wach Jehova Nyasaye nobiro ne Abram e fweny ni, “Abram, kik iluor. An e okumbani, kendo pokni maduongʼ moloyo.”
After these things the word of the LORD came to Abram in a vision, saying, "Do not be afraid, Abram. I am your shield; your reward will be very great."
2 To Abram nowacho niya, “Yaye Jehova Nyasaye Manyalo Gik Moko Duto, en angʼo ma dimiya to pod asiko ka aonge nyathi kendo jacham mwanduna en mana Eliezer ja-Damaski?”
Abram said, "Lord, what will you give me, seeing I go childless, and the heir of my estate is Eliezer of Damascus?"
3 Kendo Abram nowacho niya, “Pod ok imiya nyithindo; omiyo achiel kuom wasumbini maga ema nobed jacham girkeni maga.”
Then Abram said, "Look, to me you have given no offspring, and look, one born in my house is my heir."
4 Eka wach Jehova Nyasaye nobirone kawacho niya, “Ngʼatni ok nobed jacham girkeni magi, to wuowi ma owuok e ringri iwuon ema nobed jacham girkeni magi.”
And look, the word of God came to him, saying, "This man will not be your heir, but he who will come forth out of your own body will be your heir."
5 Nogole oko mowachone niya, “Rang polo malo kendo kwan sulwe ka dipo ni inyalo kwanogi.” Eka nowachone niya, “Omiyo mano e kaka nyikwayi nobedi.”
And he brought him outside, and said, "Look now toward the sky, and count the stars, if you are able to count them." And he said to him, "So will your descendants be."
6 Abram noyie kuom Jehova Nyasaye, mi Jehova Nyasaye nokwane kaka ngʼama kare.
And he believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness.
7 Kendo nowachone niya, “An e Jehova Nyasaye manogoloi Ur piny jo-Kaldea mondo amiyigo obed girkeni mari.”
And he said to him, "I am God, who brought you out of Ur Kasdim to give you this land to possess."
8 To Abram nopenje niya, “Yaye Jehova Nyasaye Manyalo Gik Moko Duto, ere kaka anyalo ngʼeyo ni obiro bedo girkeni mara?”
But he said, "Lord, how can I know that I will possess it?"
9 Omiyo Jehova Nyasaye nonyise niya, “Kelna roya bwongʼ, diel kod im mahikgi adek, adek kaachiel gi akuch odugla kod nyathi akuru.”
And 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."
10 Abram nokelone magi duto, nongʼadogi diriyo moro ka moro kendo okelo nusegi moro ka moro omanyore gi wadgi, to kata kamano, winy ne ok ongʼado.
He brought him all of these, and divided them in the middle, and placed each half opposite the other; but he did not divide the birds.
11 Eka achudhe nopiyo e ringʼogo, to Abram noriembogi.
And the birds of prey came down on the carcasses, but Abram drove them away.
12 Kane chiengʼ podho, Abram nogore e nindo matut kendo mudho mandiwa noime.
When the sun was going down, a deep sleep fell on Abram. And look, a terror of great darkness fell on him.
13 Eka Jehova Nyasaye nowachone niya, “Ngʼe malongʼo ni nyikwayi nobed jodak e piny moro ma ok margi, kendo nolokgi wasumbini mi nosandgi malit kuom higni mia angʼwen.
And he said to Abram, "Know for certain that your descendants will live as foreigners in a land that is not theirs; and they will be enslaved there. And they will oppress them four hundred years.
14 To anakum piny ma noketgi wasumbini, bangʼe giniwuogi gia gi mwandu mogundho.
But I will also judge that nation whom they will serve. And afterward they will come out with many possessions.
15 To kata kamano, inidag amingʼa mi itho gi kwe kiluwo kwereni.
But you will go to your fathers in peace. You will be buried in a good old age.
16 E tiengʼ mar angʼwen nyikwayi nodwogi ka, nikech e ndalogo ema noyud ka richo jo-Amor osemedore moromo kum.”
In the fourth generation they will come here again, for the iniquity of the Amorites is not yet complete."
17 Kane chiengʼ osepodho kendo piny oyuso, tago mar mach madum iro kod chuk mach maliel nothinyore mi okadho e kind lemo mag gik manoyangʼ ka.
It came to pass that, when the sun went down, and it was dark, look, a smoking fire pot and a flaming torch passed between these pieces.
18 Odiechiengno Jehova Nyasaye notimo singruok gi Abram mowachone niya, “To ne nyikwayi, amiyogi pinyni, koa e aora mar Misri nyaka aora maduongʼ mar Yufrate.
On that day God made a covenant with Abram, saying, "To your descendants I have given this land, from the river of Egypt to the great river, the river Perath:
19 Bende amiyogi pinje kaka piny jo-Keni, jo-Kenizi, jo-Kadmon,
the Kenites, the Kenizzites, the Kadmonites,
20 jo-Hiti, jo-Perizi, jo-Refai,
the Hethites, the Perizzites, the Rephaim,
21 jo-Amor, jo-Kanaan, jo-Girgash, kod jo-Jebus.”
the Amorites, the Canaanites, the Hivites, the Girgashites, and the Jebusites."
