< Genesis 15 >

1 Tukun ma inge, oasr aruruma se Abram el liye, ac el lohng pusren LEUM GOD fahk nu sel, “Abram, nimet sangeng. Nga ac fah lisring kom liki mwe sensen, ac sot nu sum sie mwe usru lulap.”
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 Tusruktu Abram el topuk ac fahk, “LEUM GOD Fulatlana, mwe mea nu sik mwe usru sacn, ke wangin tulik nutik uh? Mwet sefanna ac usrui ma luk uh, pa Eliezer, mwet Damascus.
Abram said, "Lord, what will you give me, seeing I go childless, and the heir of my estate is Eliezer of Damascus?"
3 Wangin tulik kom ase nutik, a siena sin mwet kulansap luk fah usrui ma luk.”
Then Abram said, "Look, to me you have given no offspring, and look, one born in my house is my heir."
4 Na el lohng LEUM GOD El sifilpa kaskas nu sel ac fahk, “Mwet kulansap se inge, Eliezer, el fah tia usrui ma lom, a wen se nutum sifacna ac fah mwet usru lom.”
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 LEUM GOD El pwanulla nu likinuma ac fahk, “Ngetak nu inkusrao ac srike in oakla itu ingo. Fwilin tulik nutum ac fah pus oana itu uh.”
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 el filiya lulalfongi lal in LEUM GOD, ac ke sripa se inge LEUM GOD El oakulla sie mwet suwoswos.
And he believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness.
7 Na LEUM GOD El fahk nu sel, “Nga LEUM GOD, su pwenkomme liki acn Ur in facl Babylonia, in asot nu sum acn se inge tuh in ma lom.
And he said to him, "I am God, who brought you out of Ur Kasdim to give you this land to possess."
8 Tusruk Abram el siyuk, “LEUM GOD Fulatlana, ac fuka eteya sik lah ac ma luk?”
But he said, "Lord, how can I know that I will possess it?"
9 El topuk ac fahk, “Use soko cow mutan, soko nani mutan, ac soko sheep mukul, kais soko seltal in yac tolu matwa, wi sie wule ac sie wuleoa.”
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 el use ma inge nu yurin God. El uniya, na fulungya kosro ah nu ke ip luo ac takunla ke tak lukwa, ip luo ke kais sie kain kosro oan tulani nu sie, a el tia fulungya wule ah.
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 Won lulap vulture uh tuhwi nu fin ikwen kosro ac won uh, tusruktu Abram el luselosla.
And the birds of prey came down on the carcasses, but Abram drove them away.
12 Ke faht uh fahsr in tili, Abram el motulla folosuwosla, na sangeng ac tuninfong tuyang nu sel.
When the sun was going down, a deep sleep fell on Abram. And look, a terror of great darkness fell on him.
13 Na LEUM GOD El fahk nu sel, “Fwilin tulik nutum ac fah mwetsac in sie facl su tia facl selos. Elos ac fah mwet kohs we, na ac fah arulana orek elos koluk ke lusen yac angfoko.
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 Tusruktu nga ac fah kalyei mutunfacl se ma ac akkohsyelos, na ke elos ac mukuiyak liki facl sac elos ac us mwe kasrup puspis welulos.
But I will also judge that nation whom they will serve. And afterward they will come out with many possessions.
15 A funu kom, kom ac muta nwe ke na kom matuoh, na kom fah misa in misla, ac pukpuki.
But you will go to your fathers in peace. You will be buried in a good old age.
16 A ac fah sun fwilin tulik akakosr nutum meet liki elos foloko nu in acn se inge, mweyen nga ac tia lusla mwet Amor nwe ke na arulana yokelik ma koluk lalos ac fal in kalyeiyuk elos.”
In the fourth generation they will come here again, for the iniquity of the Amorites is not yet complete."
17 Ke faht ah tili, ac lohsrla acn uh, sie tup in e fofosr ac soko srokom in e sikyak ke kitin pacl ah, ac fahla inmasrlon takin ikwen kosro uh.
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 Na in pacl sacna, LEUM GOD El orala wulela se inmasrlol ac Abram, fahkang, “Nga wulela mu nga ac sot facl se inge nufon nu sin fwilin tulik nutum, mutawauk ke masrol lun Egypt nwe ke Infacl Euphrates,
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 weang acn lun mwet Ken, mwet Keniz, mwet Kadmon,
the Kenites, the Kenizzites, the Kadmonites,
20 mwet Hit, mwet Periz, mwet Rephaim,
the Hethites, the Perizzites, the Rephaim,
21 mwet Amor, mwet Canaan, mwet Girgash, ac mwet Jebus.”
the Amorites, the Canaanites, the Hivites, the Girgashites, and the Jebusites."
