创世记 15
Chinese New Version (Traditional)
神與亞伯蘭立約
15 這些事以後，耶和華的話在異象中臨到亞伯蘭說：
“亞伯蘭，你不要懼怕，
我是你的盾牌；
你的賞賜是很大的。”
2 亞伯蘭說：“主耶和華啊，我一向都沒有孩子，你還能賜給我甚麼呢？這樣，承受我家業的，就是大馬士革人以利以謝了。” 3 亞伯蘭又說：“你既然沒有給我後裔，那生在我家中的人，就是我的繼承人了。” 4 耶和華的話又臨到亞伯蘭說：“這人必不會作你的繼承人；你親生的才會是你的繼承人。” 5 於是領他到外面去，說：“你向天觀看，數點眾星，看你能不能把它們數得清楚。”又對他說：“你的後裔將要這樣眾多。” 6 亞伯蘭信耶和華，耶和華就以此算為他的義了。 7 耶和華又對亞伯蘭說：“我是耶和華，曾經把你從迦勒底的吾珥領出來，為要把這地賜給你作產業。” 8 亞伯蘭說：“主耶和華啊，我憑甚麼能知道我必得這地為業呢？” 9 耶和華對他說：“你給我拿一頭三歲的母牛犢，一隻三歲的母山羊，一隻三歲的公綿羊，一隻斑鳩和一隻雛鴿。” 10 亞伯蘭就把這一切拿了來，每樣都從當中劈開，一半一半相對擺列；只是鳥卻沒有劈開。 11 有鷙鳥下來，落在這些屍骸上，亞伯蘭就把牠們嚇走了。
12 日落的時候，亞伯蘭沉沉地睡著了，忽然有可怕的大黑暗落在他身上。 13 耶和華對亞伯蘭說：“你要確實地知道，你的後裔必在外地寄居，也必服事那地的人，那地的人苦待他們四百年。 14 他們所要服事的那國，我要親自懲罰。後來他們必帶著很多財物，從那裡出來。 15 你必得享長壽，被人埋葬，平平安安地回到你列祖那裡。 16 到了第四代，他們必回到這裡，因為亞摩利人的罪孽還沒有滿盈。” 17 日落天黑的時候，忽然有冒煙的爐和燒著的火把，從那些肉塊中經過。 18 就在那時候，耶和華與亞伯蘭立約說：
“我已經把這地賜給你的後裔了，
就是從埃及河直到幼發拉底河之地；
19 就是基尼人、基尼洗人、甲摩尼人、 20 赫人、比利洗人、利乏音人、 21 亞摩利人、迦南人、革迦撒人、耶布斯人之地。”

上帝与亚伯兰立约
15 这些事以后，耶和华在异象中对亚伯兰说：“亚伯兰，你不用害怕，我是你的盾牌，我要大大赏赐你。” 2 亚伯兰说：“主耶和华啊，你要赐我什么呢？我没有儿子，继承我家业的人是大马士革人以利以谢。” 3 亚伯兰又说：“你没有赐我儿子，我家中的仆人将继承我的产业。” 4 耶和华又对他说：“这人不会成为你的继承人，你亲生的儿子才是你的继承人。” 5 耶和华把亚伯兰带到外面，对他说：“你抬头看看天空，数数繁星，你能数得尽吗？你的后裔必这么多。” 6 亚伯兰信耶和华，耶和华便算他为义人。
7 耶和华又对他说：“我是耶和华，我带你离开了迦勒底的吾珥，为要把这片土地赐给你。” 8 亚伯兰说：“主耶和华啊，我怎么知道我会得到这片土地呢？” 9 耶和华说：“你要给我预备三岁的母牛、母山羊和公绵羊各一头，斑鸠和雏鸽各一只。” 10 亚伯兰一一照办，把牲畜都劈成两半，一半对着一半地摆列，但没有劈开雀鸟。 11 有鸷鸟飞到那些尸体上，亚伯兰赶走了它们。
12 太阳下山的时候，亚伯兰睡得很沉，忽然有可怕的黑暗笼罩着他。 13 耶和华对他说：“你要清楚知道，你的后裔必流落异乡，被奴役、虐待四百年。 14 但我必惩罚奴役他们的国家，之后他们必带着大量的财物离开那里。 15 而你必享长寿，安然离世。 16 到了第四代[a]，你的子孙必重回此地，因为亚摩利人现在还没有恶贯满盈。”
17 太阳下山后，大地黑暗，突然有冒烟的火炉和点着的火炬在肉块中经过。 18 就在那天，耶和华跟亚伯兰立约，说：“我必将这片土地赐给你的后代，使他们得到从埃及河到幼发拉底河一带的土地， 19 就是基尼人、基尼洗人、甲摩尼人、 20 赫人、比利洗人、利乏音人、 21 亚摩利人、迦南人、革迦撒人和耶布斯人的土地。”

Genesis 15
Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition
15 Now when these things were done, the word of the Lord came to Abram by a vision, saying: Fear not, Abram, I am thy protector, and thy reward exceeding great.
2 And Abram said: Lord God, what wilt thou give me? I shall go without children: and the son of the steward of my house is this Damascus Eliezer.
3 And Abram added: But to me thou hast not given seed: and lo my servant, born in my house, shall be my heir.
4 And immediately the word of the Lord came to him, saying: He shall not be thy heir: but he that shall come out of thy bowels, him shalt thou have for thy heir.
5 And he brought him forth abroad, and said to him: Look up to heaven and number the stars, if thou canst. And he said to him: So shall thy seed be.
6 Abram believed God, and it was reputed to him unto justice.
7 And he said to him: I am the Lord who brought thee out from Ur of the Chaldees, to give thee this land, and that thou mightest possess it.
8 But he said: Lord God, whereby may I know that I shall possess it?
9 And the Lord answered, and said: Take me a cow of three years old, and a she goat of three years, and a ram of three years, a turtle also, and a pigeon.
10 And he took all these, and divided them in the midst, and laid the two pieces of each one against the other; but the birds he divided not.
11 And the fowls came down upon the carcasses, and Abram drove them away.
12 And when the sun was setting, a deep sleep fell upon Abram, and a great and darksome horror seized upon him.
13 And it was said unto him: Know thou beforehand that thy seed shall be a stranger in a land not their own, and they shall bring them under bondage, and afflict them four hundred years.
14 But I will judge the nation which they shall serve, and after this they shall come out with great substance.
15 And thou shalt go to thy fathers in peace, and be buried in a good old age.
16 But in the fourth generation they shall return hither: for as yet the iniquities of the Amorrhites are not at the full until this present time.
17 And when the sun was set, there arose a dark mist, and there appeared a smoking furnace and a lamp of fire passing between those divisions.
18 That day God made a covenant with Abram, saying: To thy seed will I give this land, from the river of Egypt even to the great river Euphrates.
19 The Cineans and Cenezites, the Cedmonites,
20 And the Hethites, and the Pherezites, the Raphaim also,
21 And the Amorrhites, and the Chanaanites, and the Gergesites, and the Jebusites.
