The Lord’s Covenant With Abram
15 After this, the word of the Lord came to Abram(A) in a vision:(B)
2 But Abram said, “Sovereign Lord,(F) what can you give me since I remain childless(G) and the one who will inherit[c] my estate is Eliezer of Damascus?(H)” 3 And Abram said, “You have given me no children; so a servant(I) in my household(J) will be my heir.”
4 Then the word of the Lord came to him: “This man will not be your heir, but a son who is your own flesh and blood will be your heir.(K)” 5 He took him outside and said, “Look up at the sky and count the stars(L)—if indeed you can count them.” Then he said to him, “So shall your offspring[d] be.”(M)
6 Abram believed the Lord, and he credited it to him as righteousness.(N)
7 He also said to him, “I am the Lord, who brought you out(O) of Ur of the Chaldeans(P) to give you this land to take possession of it.”(Q)
8 But Abram said, “Sovereign Lord,(R) how can I know(S) that I will gain possession of it?”(T)
9 So the Lord said to him, “Bring me a heifer,(U) a goat and a ram, each three years old,(V) along with a dove and a young pigeon.(W)”
10 Abram brought all these to him, cut them in two and arranged the halves opposite each other;(X) the birds, however, he did not cut in half.(Y) 11 Then birds of prey came down on the carcasses,(Z) but Abram drove them away.
12 As the sun was setting, Abram fell into a deep sleep,(AA) and a thick and dreadful darkness came over him. 13 Then the Lord said to him, “Know for certain that for four hundred years(AB) your descendants will be strangers in a country not their own and that they will be enslaved(AC) and mistreated there. 14 But I will punish the nation they serve as slaves, and afterward they will come out(AD) with great possessions.(AE) 15 You, however, will go to your ancestors(AF) in peace and be buried at a good old age.(AG) 16 In the fourth generation(AH) your descendants will come back here,(AI) for the sin of the Amorites(AJ) has not yet reached its full measure.”
17 When the sun had set and darkness had fallen, a smoking firepot with a blazing torch(AK) appeared and passed between the pieces.(AL) 18 On that day the Lord made a covenant with Abram(AM) and said, “To your descendants I give this land,(AN) from the Wadi[e] of Egypt(AO) to the great river, the Euphrates(AP)— 19 the land of the Kenites,(AQ) Kenizzites, Kadmonites, 20 Hittites,(AR) Perizzites,(AS) Rephaites,(AT) 21 Amorites, Canaanites, Girgashites and Jebusites.”(AU)

하나님께서 아브람에게 하신 약속
15 이 모든 일이 일어난 다음 주께서 환상 가운데 아브람에게 말씀하셨다.
“아브람아, 무서워하지 말아라.
나는 방패가 되어 너를 지켜 주고
너에게 매우 큰 상을 내리겠다.”
2-3 그러나 아브람은 이렇게 아뢰었다. “오, 높으신 주님. 주께서 저에게 무엇을 주시렵니까? 저에게는 아직 자식이 없습니다. 저의 유산을 물려받을 사람이라고는 다마스커스 출신의 엘리에셀뿐입니다.”
4 그러자 주께서 아브람에게 말씀하셨다. “그 사람은 네 상속자가 아니다. 네 몸에서 나온 아들이 너의 상속자가 될 것이다.”
5 하나님께서 아브람을 바깥으로 데리고 나오셔서 이렇게 말씀하셨다. “저 하늘을 올려다보라. 그리고 셀 수만 있다면 거기에 있는 별들을 세어 보라.” 그리고 이어서 말씀하셨다. “네 자손도 저 별들처럼 많이 불어날 것이다.”
6 아브람이 주를 믿으니 주께서는 그 믿음을 보시고 그를 받아 주실 만한 사람으로 여기셨다[a]. 7 하나님께서 아브람에게 말씀하셨다. “나는 바빌로니아의 우르[b]에서 너를 데리고 나온 주이다. 그것은 이 땅을 네게 주어 네 소유가 되게 하려는 것이었다.”
8 그러나 아브람은 이렇게 아뢰었다. “오, 높으신 주님. 제가 이 땅을 소유하게 되리라고 어떻게 확실히 알 수 있겠습니까?”
9 그리하여 하나님께서 아브람에게 이렇게 말씀하셨다. “암소 한 마리와 염소 한 마리와 숫양 한 마리를 내게 가져오너라. 그것들은 모두 삼 년 된 것이라야 한다. 그리고 산비둘기와 어린 집비둘기도 한 마리씩 가져오너라.”
10 아브람이 이 모든 것을 가져왔다. 그는 그것들의 몸통을 반으로 갈라서 서로 마주 보게 차려 놓았다. 그러나 비둘기들은 반으로 가르지 않았다. 11 솔개들이 고기를 먹으려고 내리 덮치자 아브람이 그것들을 쫓아버렸다.
12 해가 질 무렵쯤 깊은 잠이 아브람에게 밀려왔다. 그리고 짙고 무서운 어둠이 그를 덮었다. 13 그때에 주께서 아브람에게 말씀하셨다. “너는 분명히 알아두어라. 네 자손이 남의 나라에서 나그네로 살게 될 것이다. 그러다가 노예가 되어 사백 년 동안 모질게 짓밟히며 살 것이다. 14 그러나 네 자손이 노예가 되어 섬기는 그 나라를 내가 벌할 것이다. 그런 다음 네 자손들이 많은 재산을 가지고 그 나라를 떠나올 것이다.
15 그러나 네 자신은 오래 오래 살 것이다. 너는 평안히 죽어 네 조상들에게 돌아갈 것이다. 16 네 자손은 사 대째가 되어서야 이 땅으로 돌아올 것이다. 지금 이 땅에 살고 있는 아모리 사람들의 죄가 아직까지는 꽉 차지 않았기 때문이다.”
17 해가 완전히 지고 어둠이 온 땅에 깔렸을 때 불타는 횃불이 담긴 화로가 연기를 내뿜으며[c] 나타나서 갈라놓은 희생제물 사이로 지나갔다[d].
18 바로 그날 주께서 아브람과 계약을 맺으시며 이렇게 말씀하셨다. “내가 네 자손에게 이 땅을 준다. 이집트 강[e]과 큰 강 유프라테스 사이에 펼쳐진 땅을 주는 것이다. 19 곧 겐 사람과 그니스 사람과 갓몬 사람과 20 헷 사람과 브리스 사람과 르바 사람과 21 아모리 사람과 가나안 사람과 기르가스 사람과 여부스 사람이 살고 있는 땅이다.”

15 (A)Ebyo nga biwedde, ekigambo kya Mukama ne kijjira Ibulaamu mu kwolesebwa nti,
“Totya Ibulaamu,
Nze ngabo yo

2 (B)Naye Ibulaamu n’addamu nti, “Kiki ky’olimpa Ayi Mukama Katonda, kubanga sirina mwana, n’omusika w’ennyumba yange ye Eryeza ow’omu Ddamasiko?” 3 (C)Ibulaamu ne yeeyongera n’agamba nti, “Laba tompadde mwana; omuddu eyazaalibwa mu nnyumba yange ye musika wange.”
4 (D)Laba ekigambo kya Mukama ne kimujjira nti, “Omusajja oyo tagenda kuba musika wo; mutabani wo, y’aliba omusika wo.” 5 (E)N’amufulumya ebweru n’amugamba nti, “Tunuulira eggulu, obale emunyeenye, obanga osobola okuzibala.” Awo n’amugamba nti, “N’ezzadde lyo bwe liriba bwe lityo.”
6 (F)Ibulaamu n’akkiriza Mukama, n’akimubalira okuba obutuukirivu. 7 N’amugamba nti, “Nze Mukama eyakuggya mu Uli ensi ey’Abakaludaaya, nkuwe ensi eno ebeere yiyo.” 8 (G)Ibulaamu n’addamu nti, “Ayi Mukama nnaamanya ntya nti eriba yange?” 9 Mukama n’amuddamu nti, “Ndeetera ennyana eyaakamala emyaka esatu, embuzi ey’emyaka esatu, endiga ensajja ey’emyaka esatu, kaamukuukulu n’ejjiba.”
10 (H)Ibulaamu n’abireeta byonna n’abisalamu wakati n’ateeka buli kitundu kungulu ku kinnaakyo, naye ebinyonyi byo teyabisalamu bitundu nga biri. 11 Ensega bwe zajja okubirya, Ibulaamu n’azigoba.
12 (I)Enjuba yali egwa, Ibulaamu ne yeebaka otulo tungi; era laba, ekizikiza ekingi eky’amaanyi ne kimubuutikira. 13 (J)Awo Mukama n’agamba Ibulaamu nti, “Manyira ddala nti ezzadde lyo baliba batambuze mu nsi eteri yaabwe, era baliba baddu eyo, balibonyaabonyezebwa eyo okumala emyaka ebikumi bina. 14 (K)Naye ndibonereza eggwanga lye balikolera n’oluvannyuma balivaayo n’obugagga bungi. 15 (L)Naye ggwe oligenda mirembe eri bajjajjaabo; oliziikibwa ng’owangaalidde ddala nnyo. 16 (M)Era balikomawo wano mu mulembe ogwokuna; kubanga obutali butuukirivu bw’Omwamoli tebunnayitirira.”

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.”

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.
