1. 1MKWNa manima, mambu ya Yave kuminaka Abalami na kati ya lumoni. Yave tubaka mutindu yayi: «Abalami! Kuvwanda ve na boma, mu kele kinwanunu yina ke kebaka nge, mpe mu ke pesa nge musendo ya kulutila.»BSBBSB: 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.”
2. 2MKWAbalami vutulaka: «Yave Mfumu ya munu, yinki nge ke pesa munu? Mu ke kufwa ata kubika mwana, muntu yina ke byadila bimvwama ya munu, ni Elyezele ya mbanza ya Damase.»BSBBSB: 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?”
3. 3MKWAbalami tubaka dyaka: «Nge pesaka munu ve bweso ya kubuta. Ni kisadi ya munu Elyezele muntu ke bikana na bimvwama ya munu.»BSBBSB: Abram continued, “Behold, You have given me no offspring, so a servant in my household will be my heir.”
4. 4MKWNa yina, Yave tubaka na yandi mutindu yayi: «Ni yandi ve ke vwanda kibyadi ya nge, kasi ni mwana yina nge mosi ke buta, muntu ke bikana na bimvwama ya nge.»BSBBSB: 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.”
5. 5MKWNa manima, Yave basisaka Abalami na ngaanda. Yandi tubaka na yandi: «Tala na zulu, meka ntete na kutanga bambwetete nyonso yina, kana nge ke lenda.» Mpe yandi tubaka dyaka: «Dikanda ya nge ke vwanda ya mingi mutindu bambwetete yayi.»BSBBSB: 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.”
6. 6MKWAbalami kwikilaka na Yave, mpe Yave ndimaka yandi mutindu muntu ya kudedama, samu na kiminu ya yandi.BSBBSB: Abram believed the LORD, and it was credited to him as righteousness.
7. 7MKWYave tubaka na Abalami: «Ni munu Yave, yina basisaka nge na mbaza ya Ule na yinsi ya Kalede, samu na kupesa nge yinsi yayi nge kele, samu ti yawu kukuma ya nge.»BSBBSB: 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.”
8. 8MKWAbalami vutulaka: «Yave, Mfumu ya munu, yinki ke lakisa ti yinsi yayi ke vwanda ya munu?»BSBBSB: But Abram replied, “Lord GOD, how can I know that I will possess it?”
9. 9MKWYave tubaka na Abalami: «Natina munu mwana ya ngombe ya nkento ya bamvula tatu, na nkombo ya nkento ya bamvula tatu, na dimeme ya mbakala ya bamvula tatu, na kiduka mosi mpe dibembe mosi ya ntwenya.»BSBBSB: 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.”
10. 10MKWAbalami nataka bibulu yina nyonso. Yandi zengaka konso kibulu na kati-kati, mpe yandi tulaka bibuku nyonso mutindu ti konso kibuku kutalasana na kibuku ya nkaka. Kasi yandi zengaka ve bandeke.BSBBSB: 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.
11. 11MKWBakoko-mbele kwizaka na kudya bibulu yango, kasi Abalami bingisaka bawu.BSBBSB: And the birds of prey descended on the carcasses, but Abram drove them away.
12. 12MKWNa nkokila, Abalami lalaka pongi mosi ya ngolo. Mpimpa ya nene kubwaka mpe yandi kuzwaka boma ya ngolo.BSBBSB: As the sun was setting, Abram fell into a deep sleep, and suddenly great terror and darkness overwhelmed him.
13. 13MKWNzambi tubaka na Abalami: «Nge fwana kuzaba ti bana ya nge ke zinga na yinsi ya nzenza, ba ke kuma bandongo, mpe ba ke talisa bawu mpasi, bamvula bankama yiya (400).BSBBSB: 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.
14. 14MKWKasi mu ke fundisa yinsi yina ke kumisa bawu bandongo, mpe ba ke basika kuna na bimvwama mingi.BSBBSB: But I will judge the nation they serve as slaves, and afterward they will depart with many possessions.
15. 15MKWSamu na nge, mu ke sala ti nge nuna kununa mosi ya kyese, mpe nge kufwa na kizunu.BSBBSB: You, however, will go to your fathers in peace and be buried at a ripe old age.
16. 16MKWNa yina me tadila bana ya nge, kaka ni mbandu ya yiya ke vutuka kwaku, samu ti masumu ya ba-Amoli me yela ntete ve, na kubingisa bawu na yinsi yayi.»BSBBSB: In the fourth generation your descendants will return here, for the iniquity of the Amorites is not yet complete.”
17. 17MKWNtangu bwisi yilaka, na kati ya mpimpa, kima mosi yina vwandaka basika tiya na mulinga, lutaka na kuyoka bibuku ya bibulu.BSBBSB: 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.
18. 18MKWNa kilumbu yina, Yave salaka ngwisani na Abalami mutindu yayi: «Mu me pesa yinsi yayi na dikanda ya nge, kubanda na nzadi ya Ngipiti tii na nzadi ya nene ya Efalate,BSBBSB: 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—
19. 19MKWyawu kele yinsi ya ba-Keni, na ba-Kenizi, na ba-Kwademone,BSBBSB: the land of the Kenites, Kenizzites, Kadmonites,
