Yahweh Cuts a Covenant with Abram
15 After these things (A)the word of Yahweh came to Abram in a vision, saying,
2 And Abram said, “O Lord Yahweh, what will You give me, as I go on being childless, and the [b]heir of my house is Eliezer of Damascus?” 3 And Abram said, “[c]Since You have given no seed to me, behold, [d]one (E)born in my house is my heir.” 4 Then behold, the word of Yahweh came to him, saying, “This one will not be your heir; (F)but one who will come forth from your own [e]body, he shall be your heir.” 5 And He brought him outside and said, “Now look toward the heavens, and (G)number the stars, if you are able to number them.” And He said to him, “(H)So shall your seed be.” 6 (I)Then he believed in Yahweh; and He counted it to him as righteousness. 7 And He said to him, “I am Yahweh who brought you out of (J)Ur of the Chaldeans, to (K)give you this land to [f]possess it.” 8 And he said, “O Lord Yahweh, (L)how may I know that I will [g]possess it?” 9 So He said to him, “[h]Bring Me a three year old heifer, and a three year old female goat, and a three year old ram, and a turtledove, and a young pigeon.” 10 Then he [i]brought all these to Him and (M)split them into parts [j]down the middle and laid each part opposite the other; but he (N)did not split apart the birds. 11 Then the birds of prey came down upon the carcasses, and Abram drove them away.
12 Now it happened that when the sun was going down, (O)a deep sleep fell upon Abram; and behold, [k]terror and great darkness fell upon him. 13 Then God said to Abram, “Know for certain that (P)your seed will be sojourners in a land that is not theirs, [l]and (Q)they will be enslaved and mistreated (R)four hundred years. 14 But I will also judge the nation to whom they are enslaved, and afterward they will come out (S)with [m]many possessions. 15 As for you, (T)you shall go to your fathers in peace; you will be buried at a good old age. 16 Then in (U)the fourth generation they will return here, for (V)the iniquity of the Amorite is not yet complete.”
17 Now it happened that the sun had set, and it was very dark, and behold, there appeared a smoking oven and a flaming torch which (W)passed between these pieces. 18 On that day Yahweh cut a covenant with Abram, saying,
“(X)To your seed I have given this land,
From (Y)the river of Egypt as far as the great river, the river Euphrates:
19 (Z)the Kenite and the Kenizzite and the Kadmonite 20 and the Hittite and the Perizzite and the Rephaim 21 and the Amorite and the Canaanite and the Girgashite and the Jebusite.”

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)

Giao Ước Với Áp-ram
15 Sau các việc đó, CHÚA phán bảo Áp-ram trong khải tượng:
“Áp-ram, con đừng sợ,
Ta sẽ là cái khiên bảo vệ con,
Là phần thưởng rất lớn cho con.”
2 Nhưng Áp-ram nói: “Lạy CHÚA, CHÚA sẽ cho con điều gì? Con vẫn không có con và Ê-li-ê-se, người Đa-mách sẽ thừa hưởng sản nghiệp của con.” 3 Áp-ram tiếp: “Chúa chẳng cho con con cái, nên một đầy tớ sinh ra trong nhà con sẽ thừa kế con!”
4 CHÚA đáp: “Đó không phải là người thừa kế, một con trai ra từ con sẽ là người thừa kế của con!” 5 CHÚA đem Áp-ram ra sân và bảo: “Con hãy nhìn lên bầu trời và thử đếm sao đi, nếu con đếm được!” Rồi Ngài nói với ông: “Dòng dõi con sẽ đông như thế.”
6 Áp-ram tin CHÚA, nên Ngài kể cho người là công chính.
7 Ngài cũng nói: “Ta là CHÚA đã đem con ra khỏi U-rơ, xứ Canh-đê, để ban cho con đất này làm sản nghiệp.”
8 Áp-ram nói: “Thưa CHÚA, làm sao con biết chắc rằng con sẽ được xứ này làm sản nghiệp?”
9 CHÚA nói: “Con hãy đem đến đây một con bò cái ba tuổi, một con dê cái ba tuổi, một con chiên đực ba tuổi, một con chim cu và một con bồ câu non.”
10 Áp-ram đem dâng tất cả các con vật này lên cho Chúa, xẻ các thú vật làm đôi, sắp các phần đối nhau, nhưng không xẻ đôi các con chim. 11 Các loài chim săn mồi sà xuống các sinh tế nhưng Áp-ram đuổi chúng đi.
12 Khi mặt trời vừa lặn, Áp-ram ngủ thiếp đi. Bóng tối dày đặc khủng khiếp phủ xuống bao bọc ông. 13 CHÚA bảo Áp-ram: “Con phải biết chắc rằng dòng dõi con sẽ kiều ngụ nơi đất khách quê người, phải phục dịch dân bản xứ và bị áp bức bốn trăm năm. 14 Nhưng Ta sẽ trừng phạt quốc gia mà dòng dõi con phục dịch. Sau đó, dòng dõi con sẽ thoát ra và đem theo rất nhiều của cải. 15 Còn con sẽ sống rất thọ, được về với tổ phụ con cách bình an và được chôn cất. 16 Đến đời thứ tư, dòng dõi con sẽ quay lại đây vì hiện nay tội ác dân A-mô-rít chưa đầy trọn.”
Chúa Hứa Ban Sản Nghiệp
17 Khi mặt trời đã lặn hẳn và bóng tối phủ xuống, bỗng có một lò lửa bốc khói và một ngọn lửa cháy phừng đi qua giữa các sinh tế bị phân đôi. 18 Ngày hôm ấy, CHÚA kết ước với Áp-ram rằng: “Ta đã ban cho dòng dõi con đất này, từ khe Ai-cập đến sông cái Ơ-phơ-rát, 19 đất của các dân Kê-nít, Kê-ni-xít, Cát-mô-nít, 20 Hi-tít, Phê-rê-sít, Rê-pha-im, 21 A-mô-rít, Ca-na-an, Ghê-rê-ga-sít và Giê-bu-sít.”

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.
