Genesis 15 (LGA)

1Pa liguna api, na paranga tai Iahova sa lame tai Ebarami pa dodogoro. <<Muke matagutu, Ebarami. Ara sa na mua naqe, Na mua pinia poreveveina jola,>> sau.After 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.”

2Ba sa paranga tu si Ebarami, <<Kei bangara Iahova, na sa muna boka vanisiu ura ara kepore tuqu beto isa na tinoni mina teku vakarovia na isisongo taqu sa i Elieze na tinoni Damasikasi tu?>> sau sisa.But Abram replied, “O Lord GOD, what can You give me, since I remain childless, and the heir of my house is Eliezer of Damascus?”

3Beto sa paranga mule si Ebarami, <<Quke vanisiu na koburu ke; ko kai nabulu gu pa qua tatamana sa mina beisiu sara,>> saunia.Abram continued, “Behold, You have given me no offspring, so a servant in my household will be my heir.”

4Poni sa lame tana sa na paranga tai Iahova: <<Na tinoni api sa minake beigo ao goto kai tumu marene mekamu tu mina koko lame vei pa tinimu mekamu sa mina beigo ao,>> sau.Then 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.”

5Beto sa toni votunia pa peguru beto sa paranga, <<Mu enga saea na oka beto mu anyeria sa na seru- vei sosoto tugu muna boka anyeria ao sa,>> sau. Beto sa paranga mutu, <<Mai vei inara sa na tutimu ao,>> saunia.And 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.”

6Poni i Ebarami sa vasosotoa si Iahova ko i Iahova sa pojania na tinoni tuvisina sisa.Abram believed the LORD, and it was credited to him as righteousness.

7Beto sa paranga lao tana mutugu, <<Ara si Iahova, qa toni votunigo pa Ur tadira na tinoni Kaladia ko ma vanigo na ia api ko mu isongia qau,>> saunia.The LORD also told him, “I am the LORD, who brought you out of Ur of the Chaldeans to give you this land to possess.”

8Ba sa paranga tu si Ebarami, <<Kei bangara Iahova, Ai vei mana boka gigilai ara mana teku isongia sisa?>> sau.But Abram replied, “Lord GOD, how can I know that I will possess it?”

9Poni sa paranga si Iahova tana, <<Mu teku vakamu vanisiu kai bulumakau kokoregana, kai qoti beto kai rami okoto ka ue aorodi, tavitiria kai kuru bora beto kai kuru kavu kokoregana,>> saunia.And 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.”

10Ko sa teku vakamuria i Ebarami tana sa dorudi aipira, sa kobu ruaria beto sa vakole tuturu vaikaleniria sa na kokobudi; goto ira na mamanugu tatava sa sake kobu ruaria.So 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.

11Poni qai tatava kamu sira na mamanugu tatava gagani mamanugu pa kokobu tini matedi, ba sa adu variuria i Ebarami.And the birds of prey descended on the carcasses, but Abram drove them away.

12Totonai sa korapa gore suvu na tapo, sa puta mumagana tu si Ebarami, poni sa kai rodomo kukuni vaivamatagutuna sa sa toqo pa arena isa.As the sun was setting, Abram fell into a deep sleep, and suddenly great terror and darkness overwhelmed him.

13Beto sa paranga si Iahova tana, <<Mu gigila vatalea ao sa ira na tutimu ao sa mai tinoni kamudi pa ia qaike isongia, mai tavapinausu beto mai tangangangulu ka made gogoto puputa aoro, sau sisa.Then 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.

14Ba mana vakilasia ara sa na bubutu tinoni ketakoi mai tavapinausu ira beto pa liguna sa mai votu riu tavitia soku isisongo poreveveidi.But I will judge the nation they serve as slaves, and afterward they will depart with many possessions.

15Ba ao sa muna baragoso vaparoi tu beto sa muna riu vabubulemua tutiria na mua tite.You, however, will go to your fathers in peace and be buried at a ripe old age.

16Pana vinamade sasae tinoni sa ira na tutimu ao sa mai mule kamu lani, ura na sela tadira na bubutu tinoni Amorai sa sa oqoro jutu kamua na ikerena sosoto,>> saunia.In the fourth generation your descendants will return here, for the iniquity of the Amorites is not yet complete.”

17Totonai qi tei suvu tu sa na tapo ko sa tei opo tu sa na rodomo, poni sa kai raro mamanginina sa votua na tula tavitia kai gou iku vuvurungu sa sa bola votu beto sa alokata pa vaikorapaidi na kokobu tinidi na mamanugu.When 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.

18Na rane isa i Iahova sa roitinia na vinaego tai Ebarami, ko pira sau, <<Na ia api sa qa vaniria ara na tutimu ao, koko pa ovuku pa Ijipi ko mi lao kamu pa ovuku lavata pa Eupareti-On 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—

19na ia tadira na bubutu tinoni Kenai, na Kenizai, na Kadimonai,the land of the Kenites, Kenizzites, Kadmonites,

20na Hitai, na Perizai, na Repai,Hittites, Perizzites, Rephaites,

21na Amorai, na Kenani, na Qiqasai beto na Jebusai,>> sau sisa.Amorites, Canaanites, Girgashites, and Jebusites.”
