Genesis 15

1Pagkatapos ng mga bagay na ito ay dumating ang salita ng Panginoon kay Abram sa pangitain na nagsasabi, Huwag kang matakot, Abram: ako ang iyong kalasag, at ang iyong ganting pala na lubhang dakila. 2At sinabi ni Abram, Oh Panginoong Dios, anong ibibigay mo sa akin, kung ako'y nabubuhay na walang anak at ang magaari ng aking bahay ay itong taga Damascong si Eliezer? 3At sinabi ni Abram, Narito, hindi mo ako binigyan ng anak at, narito't isang ipinanganak sa aking bahay ang siyang tagapagmana ko. 4At, narito, ang salita ng Panginoon ay dumating sa kaniya, na nagsabi, Hindi ang taong ito ang magiging tagapagmana mo; kundi lalabas sa iyong sariling katawan ang magiging tagapagmana mo. 5At siya'y inilabas at sinabi, Tumingala ka ngayon sa langit, at iyong bilangin ang mga bituin, kung mabibilang mo: at sa kaniya'y sinabi, Magiging ganiyan ang iyong binhi. 6At sumampalataya siya sa Panginoon; at ito'y ibinilang na katuwiran sa kaniya. 7At sinabi sa kaniya, Ako ang Panginoon na nagpaalis sa iyo sa Ur ng mga Caldeo, upang ibigay sa iyo ang lupaing ito na manahin mo. 8At sinabi niya, Oh Panginoong Dios, paanong pagkakilala ko na aking mamanahin? 9At sinabi sa kaniya, Magdala ka rito sa akin ng isang dumalagang bakang tatlong taon ang gulang, at ng isang babaing kambing na tatlong taon ang gulang, at ng isang lalaking tupang tatlong taon ang gulang, at ng isang inakay na batobato at ng isang inakay na kalapati. 10At dinala niya ang lahat ng ito sa kaniya, at pinaghati niya sa gitna, at kaniyang pinapagtapattapat ang kalakalahati; datapuwa't hindi hinati ang mga ibon. 11At binababa ng mga ibong mangdadagit ang mga bangkay, at binubugaw ni Abram. 12At nang lulubog na ang araw, ay nakatulog si Abram ng mahimbing; at, narito, ang isang kasindaksindak na malaking kadiliman ay sumakaniya. 13At sinabi ng Dios kay Abram, Tunay na pakatalastasin mo, na ang iyong binhi ay magiging taga ibang bayan sa lupaing hindi kanila, at mangaglilingkod sa mga yaon; at pahihirapang apat na raang taon. 14At yaon namang bansang kanilang paglilingkuran ay aking hahatulan: at pagkatapos ay aalis silang may malaking pag-aari. 15Datapuwa't ikaw ay payapang pasa sa iyong mga magulang; at ikaw ay malilibing sa mabuting katandaan. 16At sa ikaapat na salin ng iyong binhi, ay magsisipagbalik rito: sapagka't hindi pa nalulubos ang katampalasanan ng mga Amorrheo. 17At nangyari, na paglubog ng araw, at pagdilim, na narito, ang isang hurnong umuusok, at ang isang tanglaw na nagniningas na dumaan sa gitna ng mga hinating hayop. 18Nang araw na yaon, ang Panginoon ay nakipagtipan kay Abram, na nagsabi, Sa iyong binhi ibinigay ko ang lupaing ito, mula sa ilog ng Egipto hanggang sa malaking ilog, na ilog Eufrates. 19Ang mga Cineo, at ang mga Ceneceo, at ang mga Cedmoneo, 20At ang mga Heteo, at ang mga Pherezeo, at ang mga Refaim, 21At ang mga Amorrheo, at ang mga Cananeo, at ang mga Gergeseo, at ang mga Jebuseo.

1After these things Yahweh’s word came to Abram in a vision, saying, “Don’t be afraid, Abram. I am your shield, your exceedingly great reward.” 2Abram said, “Lord Yahweh, what will you give me, since I go childless, and he who will inherit my estate is Eliezer of Damascus?” 3Abram said, “Behold, to me you have given no seed: and, behold, one born in my house is my heir.” 4Behold, Yahweh’s word came to him, saying, “This man will not be your heir, but he who will come out of your own body will be your heir.” 5Yahweh brought him outside, and said, “Look now toward the sky, and count the stars, if you are able to count them.” He said to Abram, “So will your seed be.” 6He believed in Yahweh; and he reckoned it to him for righteousness. 7He said to him, “I am Yahweh who brought you out of Ur of the Chaldees, to give you this land to inherit it.” 8He said, “Lord Yahweh, how will I know that I will inherit it?” 9He 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.” 10He brought him all of these, and divided them in the middle, and laid each half opposite the other; but he didn’t divide the birds. 11The birds of prey came down on the carcasses, and Abram drove them away. 12When the sun was going down, a deep sleep fell on Abram. Now terror and great darkness fell on him. 13He said to Abram, “Know for sure that your seed will live as foreigners in a land that is not theirs, and will serve them. They will afflict them four hundred years. 14I will also judge that nation, whom they will serve. Afterward they will come out with great wealth, 15but you will go to your fathers in peace. You will be buried in a good old age. 16In the fourth generation they will come here again, for the iniquity of the Amorite is not yet full.” 17It came to pass that, when the sun went down, and it was dark, behold, a smoking furnace, and a flaming torch passed between these pieces. 18In that day Yahweh made a covenant with Abram, saying, “To your seed I have given this land, from the river of Egypt to the great river, the river Euphrates: 19the Kenites, the Kenizzites, the Kadmonites, 20the Hittites, the Perizzites, the Rephaim, 21the Amorites, the Canaanites, the Girgashites, and the Jebusites.”

1Na deze dingen geschiedde het woord des HEEREN tot Abram in een gezicht, zeggende: Vrees niet, Abram! Ik ben u een Schild, uw Loon zeer groot. 2Toen zeide Abram: Heere, HEERE! wat zult Gij mij geven, daar ik zonder kinderen heenga en de bezorger van mijn huis is deze Damaskener Eliezer? 3Voorts zeide Abram: Zie, mij hebt Gij geen zaad gegeven, en zie, de zoon van mijn huis zal mijn erfgenaam zijn! 4En ziet, het woord des HEEREN was tot hem, zeggende: Deze zal uw erfgenaam niet zijn; maar die uit uw lijf voortkomen zal, die zal uw erfgenaam zijn. 5Toen leidde Hij hem uit naar buiten, en zeide: Zie nu op naar den hemel, en tel de sterren, indien gij ze tellen kunt; en Hij zeide tot hem: Zo zal uw zaad zijn! 6En hij geloofde in den HEERE; en Hij rekende het hem tot gerechtigheid. 7Voorts zeide Hij tot hem: Ik ben de HEERE, Die u uitgeleid heb uit Ur der Chaldeen, om u dit land te geven, om dat erfelijk te bezitten. 8En hij zeide: Heere, HEERE! waarbij zal ik weten, dat ik het erfelijk bezitten zal? 9En Hij zeide tot hem: Neem Mij een driejarige vaars, en een driejarige geit, en een driejarige ram, en een tortelduif, en een jonge duif. 10En hij bracht Hem deze alle, en hij deelde ze middendoor, en hij legde elks deel tegen het andere over; maar het gevogelte deelde hij niet. 11En het wild gevogelte kwam neder op het aas; maar Abram joeg het weg. 12En het geschiedde, als de zon was aan het ondergaan, zo viel een diepe slaap op Abram; en ziet, een schrik, en grote duisternis viel op hem. 13Toen zeide Hij tot Abram: Weet voorzeker, dat uw zaad vreemd zal zijn in een land, dat het hunne niet is, en zij zullen hen dienen, en zij zullen hen verdrukken vierhonderd jaren. 14Doch Ik zal het volk ook rechten, hetwelk zij zullen dienen; en daarna zullen zij uittrekken met grote have. 15En gij zult tot uw vaderen gaan met vrede; gij zult in goeden ouderdom begraven worden. 16En het vierde geslacht zal herwaarts wederkeren; want de ongerechtigheid der Amorieten is tot nog toe niet volkomen. 17En het geschiedde, dat de zon onderging en het duister werd, en ziet, daar was een rokende oven en vurige fakkel, die tussen die stukken doorging. 18Ten zelfden dage maakte de HEERE een verbond met Abram, zeggende: Aan uw zaad heb Ik dit land gegeven, van de rivier van Egypte af, tot aan die grote rivier, de rivier Frath: 19Den Keniet, en den Keniziet, en den Kadmoniet, 20En den Hethiet, en den Fereziet, en de Refaieten, 21En den Amoriet, en den Kanaaniet, en den Girgaziet, en den Jebusiet.
