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.

¹Po teh dogodkih je prišla beseda GOSPODOVA Abramu v prikazni, rekoč: Ne boj se, Abram, jaz sem ti ščit, plačilo tvoje jako veliko.

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?

²Pa reče Abram: Gospod Jehova, kaj mi hočeš dati, ker jaz preminem brez otrok, in je on, ki bode posestnik hiše moje, Eliezer Damaščan?

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

³Še reče Abram: Glej, meni nisi dal zaroda, in glej, moj domači hlapec bode dedič moj.

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.

⁴A glej, beseda GOSPODOVA mu reče: Ta ne bode dedič tvoj, marveč kateri pride iz osrčja tvojega, on bode dedič tvoj.

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.

⁵Nato ga pelje na plano in veli: Ozri se zdaj proti nebu in seštej zvezde, če jih moreš sešteti; in mu reče: Tako bode seme tvoje.

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

⁶In Abram je veroval GOSPODU in on mu je štel to za pravičnost.

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.

⁷In mu reče: Jaz sem GOSPOD, ki sem te izpeljal iz Ura Kaldejcev, da ti dam to deželo, da jo posedeš.

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

⁸In ko je rekel Abram: Gospod Jehova, po čem naj spoznam, da jo posedem?

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.

⁹mu veli: Vzemi zame triletno telico in triletno kozo in triletnega ovna ter grlico in goloba mladiča.

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.

¹⁰Abram torej vzame zanj vse to, in ko je vsako žival prerezal po sredi, položi vsake polovico drugi polovici nasproti, ptic pa ni razpolovil.

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

¹¹Ko so pa ptice roparice planile na trupla ta, jih je Abram odganjal.

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

¹²In ko se je solnce nagibalo, se loti Abrama trdno spanje, in glej, strah in tema velika ga obideta.

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;

¹³In reče Gospod Abramu: Vedi za gotovo, da bodo potomci tvoji tujci v deželi, ki ni njihna, in jih bodo zasužnjili in jih stiskali štiristo let.

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

¹⁴A tudi narod, ki mu bodo sužnjevali, bom jaz sodil, in potem izidejo z blagom obilnim.

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

¹⁵Toda ti odideš k očetom svojim v miru, pokopan boš v lepi starosti.

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

¹⁶Oni pa se vrnejo sem v četrtem rodu; zakaj krivica Amorejcev ni dozdaj še dopolnjena.

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.

¹⁷In ko je solnce zatonilo in je bila trda noč, glej: peč kadeča in plamenica goreča, ki gre skozi med onimi deli.

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:

¹⁸Ta dan je sklenil GOSPOD zavezo z Abramom, govoreč: Semenu tvojemu sem dal to deželo od reke Egiptovske do one reke velike, reke Evfrata:

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

¹⁹Kenejce in Kenizejce ter Kadmonce,

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

²⁰in Hetejce in Ferizejce ter Refaime,in Amorejce in Kanaance in Girgasejce ter Jebusejce.

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

²¹in Amorejce in Kanaance in Girgasejce ter Jebusejce.
