Genesis 15
JPS Tanakh (Jewish Publication Society, 1917)
Baibal Olcim (Matupi Chin)
1After these things the word of the LORD came unto Abram in a vision, saying: 'Fear not, Abram, I am thy shield, thy reward shall be exceeding great.'
1Hekah olka phoeiah tah BOEIPA kah olka te mikhlam ah Abram taengla thoeng tih, “Abram rhih boeh. Kai he nang kah photling la ka om, na thapang bahoeng yet ni,” a ti nah.
2And Abram said: 'O Lord GOD, what wilt Thou give me, seeing I go hence childless, and he that shall be possessor of my house is Eliezer of Damascus?'
2Tedae Abram loh, “Ka Boeipa Yahovah aw, kai ham balae na khueh? Kai loh cakol la ka van tih kamah im kah Damasaku hoel Eliezer ni ca la ka pang “a ti nah.
3And Abram said: 'Behold, to me Thou hast given no seed, and, lo, one born in my house is to be mine heir.'
3Te phoeiah Abram loh, “Kai taengah tiingan nan paek moenih he. Te dongah ka im kah camoe ni ka pang coeng he,” a ti nah.
4And, behold, the word of the LORD came unto him, saying: 'This man shall not be thine heir; but he that shall come forth out of thine own bowels shall be thine heir.'
4Te vaengah BOEIPA kah olka loh Abram la, “Anih na pang pawt vetih namah ko khui lamkah aka thoeng te tloep na pang eh ne,” a ti nah.
5And He brought him forth abroad, and said: 'Look now toward heaven, and count the stars, if thou be able to count them'; and He said unto him: 'So shall thy seed be.'
5Te phoeiah Abram te poeng la a khuen tih, “Vaan ke paelki lamtah aisi ke tae mai lah. Amih te na tae thai atah a thui vanbangla nang kah tiingan la om van ni,” a ti nah.
6And he believed in the LORD; and He counted it to him for righteousness.
6Te daengah BOEIPA te a tangnah tih anih kah tangnah te duengnah la a nawt pah.
7And He said unto him: 'I am the LORD that brought thee out of Ur of the Chaldees, to give thee this land to inherit it.'
7Te dongah ni anih taengah, “Hekah khohmuen he nang taengah paek ham neh pang sak ham Khalden Ur lamkah nang aka khuen te BOEIPA kamah ni,” a ti nah.
8And he said: 'O Lord GOD, whereby shall I know that I shall inherit it?'
8Tedae anih loh, “Ka Boeipa Yahovah aw, anih ka pang ni tila metlamlae ka ming eh?” a ti nah.
9And He said unto him: 'Take Me a heifer of three years old, and a she-goat of three years old, and a ram of three years old, and a turtle-dove, and a young pigeon.'
9Te dongah Abram la, “Kai taengah vaitola kum thum neh maae a la kum thum, tutal kum thum, vahu, vahuica hang khuen,” a ti nah.
10And he took him all these, and divided them in the midst, and laid each half over against the other; but the birds divided he not.
10Te rhoek boeih te a taengla a khuen pah phoeiah a laklung ah a saek. Te phoeiah a kaekvang te a hui taengah a hmaitoh sak tih a tloeng pah. Tedae vathawt te tah saek pawh.
11And the birds of prey came down upon the carcasses, and Abram drove them away.
11Te vaengah vatlung loh maehrhok te a cuk thil tih Abram loh a hawt.
12And it came to pass, that, when the sun was going down, a deep sleep fell upon Abram; and, lo, a dread, even a great darkness, fell upon him.
12Tedae khomik tla tih Abram khaw ih ham a yalh thuk vaengah a soah mueirhih tamyin loh khuk a tlak thil tarha.
13And He said unto Abram: 'Know of a surety that thy seed shall be a stranger in a land that is not theirs, and shall serve them; and they shall afflict them four hundred years;
13Te phoeiah Abram te, “Na tiingan loh amah khohmuen mueh ah yinlai la om ni. Te vaengah amih te thotat uh vetih kum ya li a phaep uh ni tila ming rhoe ming laeh,” a ti nah.
14and also that nation, whom they shall serve, will I judge; and afterward shall they come out with great substance.
14Tedae a thotat pah namtom te khaw kai loh lai ka tloek vetih a hnukah nang kah tiingan tah khuehtawn a yet neh ha pawk uh ni.
15But thou shalt go to thy fathers in peace; thou shalt be buried in a good old age.
15Te vaengah nang tah a then la na sampok neh na pa rhoek taengah na cet vetih sading la n'up uh ni.
16And in the fourth generation they shall come back hither; for the iniquity of the Amorite is not yet full.'
16Tedae tahae due Amori kathaesainah a rhoeh pawt dongah tahae lamkah a khong li vaengah ha bal uh ni.
17And it came to pass, that, when the sun went down, and there was thick darkness, behold a smoking furnace, and a flaming torch that passed between these pieces.
17Khomik tla tih a hmuep a pha vaengah hmaipom hmaikhu neh hmaithoi hmai te maehpoel laklo ah a pak.
18In that day the LORD made a covenant with Abram, saying: 'Unto thy seed have I given this land, from the river of Egypt unto the great river, the river Euphrates;
18Tekah khohnin ah BOEIPA loh Abram taengah moi a boh tih, “Tahae kah khohmuen he Egypt tuiva lamkah tuiva puei Perath tuiva duela,
19the Kenite, and the Kenizzite, and the Kadmonite,
19Keni te khaw, Kenizzi te khaw, Kadmoni khaw,
20and the Hittite, and the Perizzite, and the Rephaim,
20Khitti khaw, Perizzi khaw, Rapha khaw,
21and the Amorite, and the Canaanite, and the Girgashite, and the Jebusite.'
21Amori khaw, Kanaani khaw, Girgashi khaw, Jebusi khaw, nang kah tiingan taengah ka paek coeng,” a ti nah.
