Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Traditional)
1After 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.”
1這事以後，耶和華在異象中有話對 亞伯蘭 說：「 亞伯蘭 ，你不要懼怕！我是你的盾牌，必大大地賞賜你。」
2But Abram replied, “O Lord GOD, what can You give me, since I remain childless, and the heir of my house is Eliezer of Damascus?”
2亞伯蘭 說：「主耶和華啊，我既無子，你還賜我甚麼呢？並且要承受我家業的是 大馬士革 人 以利以謝 。」
3Abram continued, “Behold, You have given me no offspring, so a servant in my household will be my heir.”
3亞伯蘭 又說：「你沒有給我兒子；那生在我家中的人就是我的後嗣。」
4Then 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.”
4耶和華又有話對他說：「這人必不成為你的後嗣；你本身所生的才成為你的後嗣。」
5And 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.”
5於是領他走到外邊，說：「你向天觀看，數算眾星，能數得過來嗎？」又對他說：「你的後裔將要如此。」
6Abram believed the LORD, and it was credited to him as righteousness.
6亞伯蘭 信耶和華，耶和華就以此為他的義。
7The LORD also told him, “I am the LORD, who brought you out of Ur of the Chaldeans to give you this land to possess.”
7耶和華又對他說：「我是耶和華，曾領你出了 迦勒底 的 吾珥 ，為要將這地賜你為業。」
8But Abram replied, “Lord GOD, how can I know that I will possess it?”
8亞伯蘭 說：「主耶和華啊，我怎能知道必得這地為業呢？」
9And 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.”
9他說：「你為我取一隻三年的母牛，一隻三年的母山羊，一隻三年的公綿羊，一隻斑鳩，一隻雛鴿。」
10So 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.
10亞伯蘭 就取了這些來，每樣劈開，分成兩半，一半對着一半地擺列，只有鳥沒有劈開。
11And the birds of prey descended on the carcasses, but Abram drove them away.
11有鷙鳥下來，落在那死畜的肉上， 亞伯蘭 就把牠嚇飛了。
12As the sun was setting, Abram fell into a deep sleep, and suddenly great terror and darkness overwhelmed him.
12日頭正落的時候， 亞伯蘭 沉沉地睡了；忽然有驚人的大黑暗落在他身上。
13Then 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.
13耶和華對 亞伯蘭 說：「你要的確知道，你的後裔必寄居別人的地，又服事那地的人；那地的人要苦待他們四百年。
14But I will judge the nation they serve as slaves, and afterward they will depart with many possessions.
14並且他們所要服事的那國，我要懲罰，後來他們必帶着許多財物從那裏出來。
15You, however, will go to your fathers in peace and be buried at a ripe old age.
15但你要享大壽數，平平安安地歸到你列祖那裏，被人埋葬。
16In the fourth generation your descendants will return here, for the iniquity of the Amorites is not yet complete.”
16到了第四代，他們必回到此地，因為 亞摩利 人的罪孽還沒有滿盈。」
17When 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.
17日落天黑，不料有冒煙的爐並燒着的火把從那些肉塊中經過。
18On 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—
18當那日，耶和華與 亞伯蘭 立約，說：「我已賜給你的後裔，從 埃及河 直到 幼發拉底 大河之地，
19the land of the Kenites, Kenizzites, Kadmonites,
19就是 基尼 人、 基尼洗 人、 甲摩尼 人、
20Hittites, Perizzites, Rephaites,
20赫 人、 比利洗 人、 利乏音 人、
21Amorites, Canaanites, Girgashites, and Jebusites.”
21亞摩利 人、 迦南 人、 革迦撒 人、 耶布斯 人之地。」
