1To pacoengah hnuksakhaih hoiah Angraeng ih lok Abram khaeah phak; Abram zii hmah; kai loe nang abuephaih, kalen parai nang ih tangqum ah ka oh, tiah a naa.
1Now when these things were done, the word of the Lord came to Abram by a vision, saying: Fear not, Abram, I am thy protector, and thy reward exceeding great.
2Toe Abram mah, Angraeng Sithaw, timaw nang paek han? Kai loe caa tawn ai ah kho ka sak; Damaska ih Eliezer mah ni kai ih qawk to toep tih boeh, tiah a naa.
2And Abram said: Lord God, what wilt thou give me? I shall go without children: and the son of the steward of my house is this Damascus Eliezer.
3Abram mah, Khenah, kai han caa nang paek ai; to pongah ka imthung ah tapen kami mah ni kai ih qawk to toep tih boeh, tiah a naa.
3And Abram added: But to me thou hast not given seed: and lo my servant, born in my house, shall be my heir.
4To naah Angraeng ih lok anih khaeah angzoh; Na tamna mah nang ih qawk to toep mak ai; toe na takpum thung hoi tacawt na capa tangtang mah ni nang ih qawk to toep tih, tiah a naa.
4And immediately the word of the Lord came to him, saying: He shall not be thy heir: but he that shall come out of thy bowels, him shalt thou have for thy heir.
5Abram to tasa bangah caeh haih moe, anih khaeah, Van bang doeng tahang ah, cakaehnawk na kroek thaih nahaeloe, kroek ah; na caanawk loe to tiah om o tih, tiah a naa.
5And he brought him forth abroad, and said to him: Look up to heaven and number the stars, if thou canst. And he said to him: So shall thy seed be.
6Abram mah Angraeng to tang pongah, a tanghaih to toenghaih ah tapom pae.
6Abram believed God, and it was reputed to him unto justice.
7Anih khaeah, Kai loe hae prae hae qawk ah paek hanah, Khaldia prae Ur vangpui hoiah nang zaehoikung, Angraeng ah ka oh, tiah a naa.
7And he said to him: I am the Lord who brought thee out from Ur of the Chaldees, to give thee this land, and that thou mightest possess it.
8Toe Abram mah, Angraeng Sithaw, hae prae hae qawk ah ka toep han, tito kawbang maw ka panoek thai tih? tiah a naa.
8But he said: Lord God, whereby may I know that I shall possess it?
9To pongah Angraeng mah anih khaeah, Saning thumto kaom maitaw tae maeto, saning thumto kaom maeh amno maeto, saning thumto kaom tuu tae maeto, pahuu maeto hoi im pahuu maeto na sin ah, tiah a naa.
9And the Lord answered, and said: Take me a cow of three years old, and a she goat of three years, and a ram of three years, a turtle also, and a pigeon.
10Abram mah to hmuennawk to sinh boih; hnetto ah a bawk moe, kalah kalah ah suek boih; toe tavaanawk loe hnetto ah bawk ai.
10And he took all these, and divided them in the midst, and laid the two pieces of each one against the other; but the birds he divided not.
11Moicaa tavaanawk loe kadueh qok moinawk nuiah azawk o tathuk, to naah Abram mah tavaanawk to huih boih.
11And the fowls came down upon the carcasses, and Abram drove them away.
12Niduem naah loe iih kangmue mah kae pongah Abraham loe iih; to naah zit kaom kalen parai khoving mah anih to khuk hmoek.
12And when the sun was setting, a deep sleep fell upon Abram, and a great and darksome horror seized upon him.
13To naah Angraeng mah anih khaeah, Na caanawk loe minawk prae ah angvin ah om o tih; to kaminawk ih tamna ah om o ueloe, nihcae mah saning cumvai palito thung pacaekthlaek o tih, tito panoek ah;
13And it was said unto him: Know thou beforehand that thy seed shall be a stranger in a land not their own, and they shall bring them under bondage, and afflict them four hundred years.
14toe nangcae tamna ah patoh acaeng to lok ka caek han; to pacoengah ni nihcae to paroeai pop hmuenmaenawk hoiah tacawt o vop tih.
14But I will judge the nation which they shall serve, and after this they shall come out with great substance.
15Nang loe lunghoih ta hoi nam panawk khaeah na caeh ueloe, mitong naah na phum o tih.
15And thou shalt go to thy fathers in peace, and be buried in a good old age.
16Na caanawk loe dung palito phak naah, hae ahmuen ah angzo o let tih; Amor kaminawk sakpazaehaih koep ai vop, tiah a naa.
16But in the fourth generation they shall return hither: for as yet the iniquities of the Amorrhites are not at the full until this present time.
17Aduem bang khoving ah loe, akhue tacawt hmai kangqong, pa-aang ih hmai-im to tacawt moe, kalah kalah ah tapraek ih moi salakah caeh.
17And when the sun was set, there arose a dark mist, and there appeared a smoking furnace and a lamp of fire passing between those divisions.
18To na niah Angraeng mah Abram hoi lokmaihaih to sak moe, Izip prae vapui thung hoiah kalen parai vapui, Euphrates vapui;
18That day God made a covenant with Abram, saying: To thy seed will I give this land, from the river of Egypt even to the great river Euphrates.
