Genesis 15 (TCZCHONG)

1Phat chomkhat jou nung hin, Pakaijin gaovin Abram akihoulimpin hitin aseipeh e. “Abram imacha kicha hih in, ajeh chu keiman kahuh ding, kipaman jong atam a tam na chan ding ahi,” ati.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.”

2Abram in adonbut in, “O Thaneipen Pakai, chapa kaneilou vangin na phatthei bohna ho hi iti phat hitam? Nangman cha neipeh lou jeh in, Damascus a Eliezer, kasohpa hin, kagou jouse ahinlo ding ahitai.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?”

3Nangman keima chilhah ding a chikhai ding, neipe tapon, hijeh a chu ka sohte lah a khat hin ka gou alo ding ahitai.Abram continued, “Behold, You have given me no offspring, so a servant in my household will be my heir.”

4Pakaijin ama chu ahoulim pin, “Ahipoi, nangma soh hon na gou alo ahi, nangma a konna chapa um ding ama chun na gou alo ding ahi.”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.”

5Hichun Pakaijin Abram chu polama akoudoh in akihou pin, “Vanchung lam ven Ahsi ho khu simtem in nasim jou nah em. Hitobang chu ahi na chilhah atam ding dan chu,” ati.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.”

6Chuin Abram in jong Pakai tahsan na dihtah in aneitan ahile hichu ama dingin dihchan nan akisimpeh tai.Abram believed the LORD, and it was credited to him as righteousness.

7Chujouvin Pakaijin Abram ahoulimpi kit in, “Hiche gam hi nalo dingin nape ing'e tia Chaldea gam Ur khopia konna nangma nahin puidoh a Pakai chu keima kahi,” ati.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.”

8Hichun Abram in adonbut in, “O Pakai hiche hi kalo ding ahi ti ipia iti kahet doh thei ding ham?” ati.But Abram replied, “Lord GOD, how can I know that I will possess it?”

9Hichun Pakaijin Abram ahou lim pin ajah a, “Bongnou kum thum lhingsa khat toh, kelngoi chal kum thum lhingsa khat toh, chule vahui nou khat le vapal nou khat kaheng'a hin choi tan,” ati peh e.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.”

10Hichun Abram in hichengse chu apedoh in athat in, hichun ahapsat cheh in, ahap lang ton alupsah in hinlah vacha ho vang chu asemkeh poi.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.

11Chuin muthongho ahung lenglhauvin hiche sa kikoi ho chu ane kigo uvin ahile Abram in muthongho chu anodoh jin ahi.And the birds of prey descended on the carcasses, but Abram drove them away.

12Chuin nisa alhum ding kon'in Abram ahung imut soh tan, chujongleh tijat umtah muthim lhangkhal ahung jingin amapa chu ahin jinkhum tai.As the sun was setting, Abram fell into a deep sleep, and suddenly great terror and darkness overwhelmed him.

13Hichun Pakaijin Abram ahoulimpi in, “Nangman thonlou dinga nahet ding chu na chilhah ho hi gam danga hung mah thah diu ahiye, amaho se chu kum jali sunga mi bol genthei thoh a ga um ding ahiuve.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.

14Ahin keiman hiche nam sugenthei ho chu ka phulah ding ahi, chule phat ahung sot a achaina teng amaho chun hatah a nei le gou ahin nei diu ahi.But I will judge the nation they serve as slaves, and afterward they will depart with many possessions.

15(Nangman vang lungmong sel'a na pute heng na jot ding, chule na kum lhingset a na hinkho kichaiya na kivui ding ahiye.)You, however, will go to your fathers in peace and be buried at a ripe old age.

16Chule amaho hi khangli ahung lhin phat le hiche gam'a hi hung kinung lekit diu ahi, ajeh chu tuchan gei hin Amor mite khan gitlouna hi pilhing loulai ahiye,” ati.In the fourth generation your descendants will return here, for the iniquity of the Amorites is not yet complete.”

17Chuin nisa alhum phat in mu athim tan ahile, meikhu belsung khat ah mei al-lenglung khat le meivah tobang khat ahung kitol in, hiche pi chu sa kihapsat a kikoi teni kah achun ahung kitollelen ahi.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.

18Hichun Patkaiyin Abram chu hitin a kihoulimpi in, kinoptona anei lhon'in hiche nichun, “Keiman nason na chilhah te kapeh gam chu hiche hi ahi, Egypt gamgi apat luipi dung gei Euphrate vadung gei,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—

19Gamsung tutua Ken mite, Keniz mite chule Kadmon miten atoupha se,the land of the Kenites, Kenizzites, Kadmonites,

20Hit mite, Periz mite chule Rephaim mite,Hittites, Perizzites, Rephaites,

21Amor mite ahiuvin, Canaan mite ahiuvin, Girgash miho ahiuvin, chule Jebus miho gam ahiuve,” ati.Amorites, Canaanites, Girgashites, and Jebusites.”
