1After these things the word of Yahweh came to Abram in a vision, saying, “Don’t be afraid, Abram. I am your shield, your exceedingly great reward.”
1Po týchto veciach stalo sa slovo Hospodinovo k Abramovi vo videní povediac: Neboj sa Abrame, ja som tvojím štítom a tvojou odplatou veľmi velikou.
2Abram said, “Lord The word translated “Lord” is “Adonai.” Yahweh, what will you give me, since I go childless, and he who will inherit my estate is Eliezer of Damascus?”
2Na to povedal Abram: Ó, Pane, Hospodine, čože mi dáš, keď ja ta odchádzam bezdetný, a majiteľom môjho domu je damašský Eliézer!
3Abram said, “Behold, to me you have given no seed: and, behold, one born in my house is my heir.”
3A ešte povedal Abram: Hľa, mne si nedal semena, a tak hľa, cudzí syn môjho domu bude mojím dedičom.
4Behold, the word of Yahweh came to him, saying, “This man will not be your heir, but he who will come out of your own body will be your 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.
5Yahweh brought him outside, and said, “Look now toward the sky, and count the stars, if you are able to count them.” He said to Abram, “So shall your seed be.”
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.
6He believed in Yahweh; and he reckoned it to him for righteousness.
6A uveril Hospodinovi, a on mu to počítal za spravedlivosť.
7He said to him, “I am Yahweh who brought you out of Ur of the Chaldees, to give you this land to inherit it.”
7A riekol mu: Ja som Hospodin, ktorý som ťa vyviedol z Úra Chaldejov, aby som ti dal túto zem, aby si ju zdedil trvale.
8He said, “Lord Yahweh, how will I know that I will inherit it?”
8A povedal: Ó, Pane, Hospodine, po čom poznám, že ju zdedím trvale?
9He said to him, “Bring me a heifer three years old, a female goat three years old, a ram three years old, a turtledove, and a young pigeon.”
9A riekol mu: Vezmi mi trojročnú jalovicu, trojročnú kozu a trojročného barana a hrdličku a holúbä.
10He brought him all of these, and divided them in the middle, and laid each half opposite the other; but he didn’t divide the birds.
10Vtedy mu vzal všetky tie veci a poroztínal ich na poly a dal každú polovicu oproti jej polovici, ale vtákov nerozťal.
11The birds of prey came down on the carcasses, and Abram drove them away.
11Tu sa spustili draví vtáci na mŕtvoly, a Abram ich odháňal.
12When the sun was going down, a deep sleep fell on Abram. Now terror and great darkness fell on him.
12A stalo sa, keď zapádalo slnce, že padol tuhý spánok na Abrama, a hľa, náramný strach a veľká tma pripádala na neho.
13He said to Abram, “Know for sure that your seed will live as foreigners in a land that is not theirs, and will serve them. They will afflict them four hundred years.
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.
14I will also judge that nation, whom they will serve. Afterward they will come out with great wealth,
14Ale aj národ, ktorému budú slúžiť, ja budem súdiť, a potom vyjdú s veľkým majetkom.
15but you will go to your fathers in peace. You will be buried in a good old age.
15A ty pojdeš ku svojim otcom v pokoji; pochovaný budeš v dobrej starobe.
16In the fourth generation they will come here again, for the iniquity of the Amorite is not yet full.”
16Ale štvrté pokolenie sa navráti sem, lebo ešte doteraz nie je doplnená neprávosť Amoreja.
17It came to pass that, when the sun went down, and it was dark, behold, a smoking furnace, and a flaming torch passed between these pieces.
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.
18In that day Yahweh made a covenant with Abram, saying, “To your seed I have given this land, from the river of Egypt to the great river, the river Euphrates:
18Toho dňa učinil Hospodin smluvu s Abramom a riekol: Tvojmu semenu som dal túto zem od Egyptskej rieky až po veľkú rieku, rieku Eufrates,
19the Kenites, the Kenizzites, the Kadmonites,
19Keneja, Kenizeja, Kadmoneja,
20the Hittites, the Perizzites, the Rephaim,
20Heteja, Ferezeja i Refaimov,
21the Amorites, the Canaanites, the Girgashites, and the Jebusites.”
21ako aj Amoreja, Kananeja, Girgazeja a Jebuzeja.
