¹Po týchto veciach stalo sa slovo Hospodinovo k Abramovi vo videní povediac: Neboj sa Abrame, ja som tvojím štítom a tvojou odplatou veľmi velikou.

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

²Na to povedal Abram: Ó, Pane, Hospodine, čože mi dáš, keď ja ta odchádzam bezdetný, a majiteľom môjho domu je damašský Eliézer!

²And Abram said, O Lord Jehovah, what wilt thou give me, seeing I go childless, and he that shall be possessor of my house is Eliezer of Damascus?

³A ešte povedal Abram: Hľa, mne si nedal semena, a tak hľa, cudzí syn môjho domu bude mojím dedičom.

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

⁴A hľa, slovo Hospodinovo stalo sa k nemu povediac: Ten nebude tvojím dedičom, ale ten, ktorý vyjde z tvojho života, ten bude tvojím dedičom.

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

⁵A Hospodin ho vyviedol von a riekol: Nože pozri hore na nebo a spočítaj hviezdy, ak ich budeš môcť spočítať. A potom mu riekol: Tak bude tvoje semä.

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

⁶A uveril Hospodinovi, a on mu to počítal za spravedlivosť.

⁶And he believed in Jehovah; and he reckoned it to him for righteousness.

⁷A riekol mu: Ja som Hospodin, ktorý som ťa vyviedol z Úra Chaldejov, aby som ti dal túto zem, aby si ju zdedil trvale.

⁷And he said unto him, I am Jehovah that brought thee out of Ur of the Chaldees, to give thee this land to inherit it.

⁸A povedal: Ó, Pane, Hospodine, po čom poznám, že ju zdedím trvale?

⁸And he said, O Lord Jehovah, whereby shall I know that I shall inherit it?

⁹A riekol mu: Vezmi mi trojročnú jalovicu, trojročnú kozu a trojročného barana a hrdličku a holúbä.

⁹And he said unto him, Take me a heifer three years old, and a she-goat three years old, and a ram three years old, and a turtle-dove, and a young pigeon.

¹⁰Vtedy mu vzal všetky tie veci a poroztínal ich na poly a dal každú polovicu oproti jej polovici, ale vtákov nerozťal.

¹⁰And he took him all these, and divided them in the midst, and laid each half over against the other: but the birds divided he not.

¹¹Tu sa spustili draví vtáci na mŕtvoly, a Abram ich odháňal.

¹¹And the birds of prey came down upon the carcasses, and Abram drove them away.

¹²A stalo sa, keď zapádalo slnce, že padol tuhý spánok na Abrama, a hľa, náramný strach a veľká tma pripádala na neho.

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

¹³A Hospodin riekol Abramovi: Vedz istotne, že tvoje semeno bude pohostínom v zemi, ktorá nebude patriť im, a budú im, ľuďom tej zeme, slúžiť, a budú ich trápiť štyristo rokov.

¹³And he said unto Abram, Know of a surety that thy seed shall be sojourners in a land that is not theirs, and shall serve them; and they shall afflict them four hundred years;

¹⁴Ale aj národ, ktorému budú slúžiť, ja budem súdiť, a potom vyjdú s veľkým majetkom.

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

¹⁵A ty pojdeš ku svojim otcom v pokoji; pochovaný budeš v dobrej starobe.

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

¹⁶Ale štvrté pokolenie sa navráti sem, lebo ešte doteraz nie je doplnená neprávosť Amoreja.

¹⁶And in the fourth generation they shall come hither again; for the iniquity of the Amorite is not yet full.

¹⁷A stalo sa, keď zašlo slnce, že nastala hustá tma, a hľa, zjavila sa dymiaca pec a horiaca fakľa, ktorá prešla pomedzi tie rozťaté diely.

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

¹⁸Toho dňa učinil Hospodin smluvu s Abramom a riekol: Tvojmu semenu som dal túto zem od Egyptskej rieky až po veľkú rieku, rieku Eufrates,

¹⁸In that day Jehovah 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:

¹⁹Keneja, Kenizeja, Kadmoneja,

¹⁹the Kenite, and the Kenizzite, and the Kadmonite,

²⁰Heteja, Ferezeja i Refaimov,

²⁰and the Hittite, and the Perizzite, and the Rephaim,

²¹ako aj Amoreja, Kananeja, Girgazeja a Jebuzeja.

²¹and the Amorite, and the Canaanite, and the Girgashite, and the Jebusite.
