創世記 15
Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Traditional)
Douay-Rheims Bible, American Edition (1899)
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。」
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.
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 。」
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.
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。」
3And Abram added: But to me thou hast not given seed: and lo my servant, born in my house, shall be my 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。」
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.
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。」
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.
6亞伯蘭 信耶和華，耶和華就以此為他的義。
6Abram believed God, and it was reputed to him unto justice.
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。」
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.
8亞伯蘭 說：「主耶和華啊，我怎能知道必得這地為業呢？」
8But he said: Lord God, whereby may I know that I shall possess it?
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。」
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.
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。
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.
11有鷙鳥下來，落在那死畜的肉上， 亞伯蘭 就把牠嚇飛了。
11And the fowls came down upon the carcasses, and Abram drove them away.
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。
12And when the sun was setting, a deep sleep fell upon Abram, and a great and darksome horror seized upon him.
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。
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.
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。
14But I will judge the nation which they shall serve, and after this they shall come out with great substance.
15但你要享大壽數，平平安安地歸到你列祖那裏，被人埋葬。
15And thou shalt go to thy fathers in peace, and be buried in a good old age.
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。」
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.
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。
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.
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，
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.
19就是 基尼 人、 基尼洗 人、 甲摩尼 人、
19The Cineans and Cenezites, the Cedmonites,
20赫 人、 比利洗 人、 利乏音 人、
20And the Hethites, and the Pherezites, the Raphaim also,
21亞摩利 人、 迦南 人、 革迦撒 人、 耶布斯 人之地。」
21And the Amorrhites, and the Chanaanites, and the Gergesites, and the Jebusites.
