Бытие 15
New Russian Translation
Божий завет с Аврамом
15 После этого Господь обратился к Авраму в видении:
– Не бойся, Аврам.
Я – твой щит;
награда твоя будет весьма велика.
2 Но Аврам сказал:
– О Владыка[a], Господь, что Ты можешь мне дать, если я остаюсь бездетным, и мое имущество унаследует[b] Элиезер из Дамаска?
3 Аврам добавил:
– Ты не дал мне детей, и слуга моего дома станет моим наследником.
4 В ответ было ему слово Господа:
– Он не станет твоим наследником. От семени твоего будет тебе наследник.
5 Он вывел его наружу и сказал:
– Взгляни на небеса и сосчитай звезды, если можешь их сосчитать.
И сказал ему:
– Таким будет твое потомство.
6 Аврам поверил Господу, и Он вменил ему это в праведность.
7 Еще Он сказал ему:
– Я – Господь, Который вывел тебя из Ура Халдейского, чтобы дать тебе во владение эту землю.
8 Но Аврам спросил:
– О Владыка, Господь, как мне убедиться, что я буду владеть ею?
9 Господь сказал ему:
– Приведи Мне трехлетнюю телицу, трехлетнюю козу и трехлетнего барана, а также принеси горлицу и молодого голубя.
10 Аврам так и сделал. Он рассек их пополам и разложил половины одну напротив другой; но птиц он не рассек пополам. 11 Хищные птицы слетались на трупы, но Аврам отгонял их.
12 При заходе солнца Аврама охватил глубокий сон; и тут кромешная тьма опустилась, и ужас объял его. 13 Господь сказал ему:
– Знай же, что твои потомки будут странниками в чужой земле; они будут обращены в рабство и будут угнетаемы четыреста лет. 14 Но Я накажу народ, поработивший их, и тогда они выйдут оттуда с большим имуществом. 15 Ты отойдешь к отцам своим в мире и будешь погребен в глубокой старости. 16 В четвертом поколении[c] твои потомки вернутся сюда, потому что грех аморреев еще не достиг полной меры.
17 Когда солнце село и стало темно, вдруг появились дымящаяся жаровня с пылающим факелом и прошли между рассеченными кусками. 18 В тот день Господь заключил завет с Аврамом и сказал:
– Я отдаю твоим потомкам эту землю, от египетской реки[d] до великой реки Евфрат: 19 землю кенеев, кенезеев, кедмонеев, 20 хеттов, ферезеев, рефаимов, 21 аморреев, хананеев, гергесеев и иевусеев.
Footnotes
- 15:2 Владыка – традиционно еврейские слова «адонай» и «ЙГВГ» переводятся как «Господь». Но в данном переводе, чтобы можно было различать эти слова, было решено переводить «Адонай» как «Владыка».
- 15:2 Смысл этого места в еврейском тексте неясен.
- 15:16 То есть примерно через 400 лет.
- 15:18 От египетской реки – существует два толкования: большинство толкователей считают, что это пересыхающая летом река Вади аль-Ариш, граница между Ханааном и Египтом (см. Чис. 34:5; Нав. 15:4), но другие думают, что речь здесь идет о реке Ниле.
Genesis 15
King James Version
15 After 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.
2 And Abram said, Lord God, what wilt thou give me, seeing I go childless, and the steward of my house is this Eliezer of Damascus?
3 And Abram said, Behold, to me thou hast given no seed: and, lo, one born in my house is mine heir.
4 And, 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.
5 And 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.
6 And he believed in the Lord; and he counted it to him for righteousness.
7 And 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.
8 And he said, Lord God, whereby shall I know that I shall inherit it?
9 And 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.
10 And 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.
11 And when the fowls came down upon the carcases, Abram drove them away.
12 And when the sun was going down, a deep sleep fell upon Abram; and, lo, an horror of great darkness fell upon him.
13 And 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;
14 And also that nation, whom they shall serve, will I judge: and afterward shall they come out with great substance.
15 And thou shalt go to thy fathers in peace; thou shalt be buried in a good old age.
16 But in the fourth generation they shall come hither again: for the iniquity of the Amorites is not yet full.
17 And 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.
18 In 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:
19 The Kenites, and the Kenizzites, and the Kadmonites,
20 And the Hittites, and the Perizzites, and the Rephaims,
21 And the Amorites, and the Canaanites, and the Girgashites, and the Jebusites.

God's Covenant with Abram
15 After these things the word of the Lord came to Abram in a vision: (A)“Fear not, Abram, I am (B)your shield; your reward shall be very great.” 2 But Abram said, “O Lord God, what will you give me, for I continue[a] childless, and the heir of my house is Eliezer of Damascus?” 3 And Abram said, “Behold, you have given me no offspring, and (C)a member of my household will be my heir.” 4 And behold, the word of the Lord came to him: “This man shall not be your heir; (D)your very own son[b] shall be your heir.” 5 And he brought him outside and said, “Look toward heaven, and (E)number the stars, if you are able to number them.” Then he said to him, (F)“So shall your offspring be.” 6 And (G)he believed the Lord, and (H)he counted it to him as righteousness.
7 And he said to him, “I am the Lord who (I)brought you out from Ur of the Chaldeans (J)to give you this land to possess.” 8 But he said, “O Lord God, (K)how am I to know that I shall possess it?” 9 He 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.” 10 And he brought him all these, (L)cut them in half, and laid each half over against the other. But (M)he did not cut the birds in half. 11 And when birds of prey came down on the carcasses, Abram drove them away.
12 As the sun was going down, a (N)deep sleep fell on Abram. And behold, dreadful and great darkness fell upon him. 13 Then the Lord said to Abram, “Know for certain (O)that your offspring will be sojourners in a land that is not theirs and will be servants there, and (P)they will be afflicted for (Q)four hundred years. 14 But (R)I will bring judgment on the nation that they serve, and afterward (S)they shall come out with great possessions. 15 As for you, you shall go to your fathers in peace; (T)you shall be buried in a good old age. 16 And they shall come back here in the fourth generation, for (U)the iniquity of the Amorites (V)is not yet complete.”
17 When the sun had gone down and it was dark, behold, a smoking fire pot and a flaming torch passed between these pieces. 18 On that day the Lord made a covenant with Abram, saying, (W)“To your offspring I give[c] this land, from (X)the river of Egypt to the great river, the river Euphrates, 19 the land of the Kenites, the Kenizzites, the Kadmonites, 20 the Hittites, the Perizzites, the Rephaim, 21 the Amorites, the Canaanites, the Girgashites and the Jebusites.”

God’s Covenant with Abram(A)
15 After these things the word of the Lord came to Abram (B)in a vision, saying, (C)“Do not be afraid, Abram. I am your (D)shield, [a]your exceedingly (E)great reward.”
2 (F)But Abram said, “Lord God, what will You give me, (G)seeing I [b]go childless, and the heir of my house is Eliezer of Damascus?” 3 Then Abram said, “Look, You have given me no offspring; indeed (H)one[c] born in my house is my heir!”
4 And behold, the word of the Lord came to him, saying, “This one shall not be your heir, but one who (I)will come from your own body shall be your heir.” 5 Then He brought him outside and said, “Look now toward heaven, and (J)count the (K)stars if you are able to number them.” And He said to him, (L)“So shall your (M)descendants be.”
6 And he (N)believed in the Lord, and He (O)accounted it to him for righteousness.
7 Then He said to him, “I am the Lord, who (P)brought you out of (Q)Ur of the Chaldeans, (R)to give you this land to inherit it.”
8 And he said, “Lord God, (S)how shall I know that I will inherit it?”
9 So He said to him, “Bring Me a three-year-old heifer, a three-year-old female goat, a three-year-old ram, a turtledove, and a young pigeon.” 10 Then he brought all these to Him and (T)cut them in two, down the middle, and placed each piece opposite the other; but he did not cut (U)the birds in two. 11 And when the vultures came down on the carcasses, Abram drove them away.
12 Now when the sun was going down, (V)a deep sleep fell upon Abram; and behold, horror and great darkness fell upon him. 13 Then He said to Abram: “Know certainly (W)that your descendants will be strangers in a land that is not theirs, and will serve them, and (X)they will afflict them four hundred years. 14 And also the nation whom they serve (Y)I will judge; afterward (Z)they shall come out with great possessions. 15 Now as for you, (AA)you shall [d]go (AB)to your fathers in peace; (AC)you shall be buried at a good old age. 16 But (AD)in the fourth generation they shall return here, for the iniquity (AE)of the Amorites (AF)is not yet complete.”
17 And it came to pass, when the sun went down and it was dark, that behold, there appeared a smoking oven and a burning torch that (AG)passed between those pieces. 18 On the same day the Lord (AH)made a covenant with Abram, saying:
(AI)“To your descendants I have given this land, from the river of Egypt to the great river, the River Euphrates— 19 the Kenites, the Kenezzites, the Kadmonites, 20 the Hittites, the Perizzites, the Rephaim, 21 the Amorites, the Canaanites, the Girgashites, and the Jebusites.”
