¹After these things the word of the LORD came unto Abram in a vision, saying, Fear not, Abram: I am thy shield, and thy exceeding great reward.

¹Chanchan matqßuec yô laj Abram nak li Dios quixcßutbesi rib chiru saß visión. Li Dios quixye re: —Matxucuac, Abram, xban nak lâin tin-ilok âcue. Kßaxal numtajenak lâ kßajcâmunquil tinqßue, chan li Dios.

²And Abram said, LORD God, what wilt thou give me, seeing I go childless, and the steward of my house is this Eliezer of Damascus?

²Laj Abram quixye re: —At Kâcuaß Dios, ¿cßaßru aj e nak nabal lin râbal tâqßue? Lâat nacanau nak mâ jun cualal incßajol cuan. Ut li ani tâêchanînk re li cßaßru cuan cue, aßan li xbên inmôs laj Eliezer li chalenak chak saß li tenamit Damasco, chan.

³And Abram said, Behold, to me thou hast given no seed: and, lo, one born in my house is mine heir.

³—Lâat mâ jun li cualal xaqßue. Xban aßan chixjunil li cßaßru cuan cue, tento nak jun lin najter môs quiyoßla saß cuochoch, aßan tâêchanînk re, chan laj Abram.

⁴And, behold, the word of the LORD came unto him, saying, This shall not be thine heir; but he that shall come forth out of thine own bowels shall be thine heir.

⁴Ut li Kâcuaß Dios quixye re laj Abram: —Mâcuaß lâ môs tâêchanînk re. Relic chi yâl tinye âcue nak li ani tâêchanînk re li cßaßru cuan âcue, aßan li tzßakal lâ cualal, chan li Dios.

⁵And he brought him forth abroad, and said, Look now toward heaven, and tell the stars, if thou be able to number them: and he said unto him, So shall thy seed be.

⁵Li Dios quixcßam laj Abram chirix cab ut quixye re: —Ilon takecß. Il ma tatrûk rajlanquileb li chahim. Joßcan ajcuiß xqßuial lâ cualal âcßajol li tinqßue. Incßaß tatrûk rajlanquileb, chan li Dios.

⁶And he believed in the LORD; and he counted it to him for righteousness.

⁶Laj Abram quixpâb li cßaßru quiyeheß re xban li Dios. Joßcan nak li Dios quixye nak laj Abram aßan jun cuînk tîc xchßôl.

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.

⁷Li Dios quixye re laj Abram; —Lâin li Kâcuaß Dios. Lâin xin-isin chak âcue saß li tenamit Ur ut xatincßam chak saß li tenamit aßin. Ut li chßochß aßin, lâat tatêchanînk re, chan.

⁸And he said, LORD God, whereby shall I know that I shall inherit it?

⁸Ut laj Abram quichakßoc ut quixye: —Kâcuaß Dios, ¿chanru nak tinnau chi tzßakal nak tincuêchani li chßochß? ¿Cßaßru li retalil tâqßue? chan.

⁹And he said unto him, Take me an heifer of three years old, and a she goat of three years old, and a ram of three years old, and a turtledove, and a young pigeon.

⁹Ut li Dios quixye re laj Abram: —Lâin tinbânu jun li contrato âcuiqßuin. Tâcßameb chak li xul li tinye âcue. Tâcßam chak jun li chßina bâc oxib chihab cuan re, ut jun li ixki chibât oxib chihab cuan re, ut jun li têlom carner oxib chihab cuan re. Ut tâcßam ajcuiß chak junak li chßina mucuy joß ajcuiß junak chßina paloma, chan li Dios.

¹⁰And he took unto him all these, and divided them in the midst, and laid each piece one against another: but the birds divided he not.

¹⁰Ut laj Abram quixcßameb li xul li quipatzßeß re xban li Dios. Quixcamsi ut quixjach saß xyiheb li xul ut quixpacßabeb. Li mucuy ut li paloma incßaß quixjacheb.

¹¹And when the fowls came down upon the carcasses, Abram drove them away.

¹¹Queßcube chak li soßsol saß xbêneb li camenak xul. Ut laj Abram quixyolesiheb.

¹²And when the sun was going down, a deep sleep fell upon Abram; and, lo, an horror of great darkness fell upon him.

¹²Nak ac yô chi mukûnc li sakße, laj Abram quicube xcuara. Nak yô chi cuârc, saß junpât quikßojyînoß chi us li cuan cuiß ut cßajoß nak quixucuac.

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;

¹³Ut li Dios quixye re: —Tento nak tânau nak lâ cualal âcßajol teßxic chi najt saß jalan tenamit mâcuaß xtenamiteb aßan. Ut kßaxal ra teßxcßul aran. Teßqßuehekß chokß rahobtesinbil môs. Ut chiru câhib ciento chihab teßcuânk saß raylal, chan li Dios.

¹⁴And also that nation, whom they shall serve, will I judge: and afterward shall they come out with great substance.

¹⁴Li Dios quixye: —Lâin tinrakok âtin saß xbêneb li yôkeb chi rahobtesînc re lâ cualal âcßajol. Mokon chic nak lâ cualal âcßajol teßêlk chak aran, teßxcßam chak lix biomaleb chirixeb.

¹⁵And thou shalt go to thy fathers in peace; thou shalt be buried in a good old age.

¹⁵Nak ac tîxakat chic chi us, lâat tatcâmk. Cßojcßôk âchßôl nak tatcâmk. Ut toxêtau êrib âcuochbeneb lâ xeßtônil yucuaß li ac camenakeb.

¹⁶But in the fourth generation they shall come hither again: for the iniquity of the Amorites is not yet full.

¹⁶Li xcâ xtêpal lâ cualal âcßajol teßsukßîk chak saß li naßajej aßin. Abanan toj tânumtâk li mâusilal teßxbânu laj amorreo, tojoßnak tinmakß li naßajej aßin chiruheb, chan li Dios re laj Abram.

¹⁷And it came to pass, that, when the sun went down, and it was dark, behold a smoking furnace, and a burning lamp that passed between those pieces.

¹⁷Nak kßojyîn chi us, laj Abram quiril nak cutâmil chiru jun xnaßaj li xam yô chi êlc xsibel ut jun lochlôquil xam quinumeß saß xyiheb li xul li jachbileb.

¹⁸In the same 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:

¹⁸Aßan aßin li retalil nak saß li cutan aßan li Kâcuaß Dios quixbânu jun li contrato riqßuin laj Abram. Ut li Dios quixye re laj Abram: —Li naßajej aßin tinqßue chokß âcue ut chokß reheb ajcuiß lâ cualal âcßajol li teßcuânk. Li naßajej li tinqßue reheb naticla chak cuan cuiß li nimaß re Egipto ut nocoxrakekß cuan cuiß li nimla nimaß Eufrates, chan.

¹⁹The Kenites, and the Kenizzites, and the Kadmonites,

¹⁹—Li naßajej aßin, li tinqßue êre, aßan li cuanqueb cuiß eb laj Ceneo, ut eb laj cenezeo, ut eb laj cadmoneo.

²⁰And the Hittites, and the Perizzites, and the Rephaim,

²⁰Ut aran ajcuiß cuanqueb laj hitita, ut eb laj ferezeo, ut eb laj refaíta.Ut aran ajcuiß cuanqueb laj amorreo, ut eb laj cananeo, ut eb laj gergeseo, ut eb laj jebuseo, chan li Dios re laj Abram.

²¹And the Amorites, and the Canaanites, and the Girgashites, and the Jebusites.

²¹Ut aran ajcuiß cuanqueb laj amorreo, ut eb laj cananeo, ut eb laj gergeseo, ut eb laj jebuseo, chan li Dios re laj Abram.
