創世記第15章 |
|
1 嗣後耶和華異象中，諭亞伯蘭曰：毋懼，我範衛爾，大賚爾， |
|
2 亞伯蘭曰：吾主耶和華將何以賜我？蓋我無子，惟大馬色人以利亞薩爲我家宰 |
|
3 又曰：爾未賜我子，則素育於我家者，將爲我嗣， |
|
4 耶和華諭之曰：此非爾嗣，必自爾出者，乃爲爾嗣， |
|
5 遂攜之門外，曰：“仰視乎天，衆星可悉數歟？”又曰：“汝苗裔必如是， |
|
6 亞伯蘭信耶和華，耶和華遂稱之爲義， |
|
7 耶和華曰：“我乃耶和華，昔攜爾出迦勒底之耳者，蓋欲以此地賜爾得之， |
|
8 曰：“吾主耶和華，我得此地，何以知之？ |
|
9 ”曰：“可取犢，及牝山羊，牡綿羊，生已三年者，曁鳲鳩雛鴿，以奉於我， |
|
10 亞伯蘭取而中剖之，置之兩旁，使各相對，惟鳥不剖。 |
|
11 鷙鳥下集，啄其牲牷。亞伯蘭驅之， |
|
12 日將入，亞伯蘭酣睡，心覺幽暗，則懼。 |
|
13 耶和華曰：“爾當知爾苗裔必旅於異邦，服役良苦，歷四百年， |
|
14 越至於後，役爾裔之異邦人，我必譴之，拯爾苗裔，大獲所有以出。 |
|
15 爾必享遐齡，安然返本而葬焉。 |
|
16 越至四世，爾之苗裔，將歸斯土，蓋亞摩哩人罪未貫盈。 |
|
17 日入幽暗，時有烟焰之洪爐，已燃之明燈，由牲牷中而過， |
|
18 當日耶和華與亞伯蘭約，曰：我以斯土，賜爾苗裔，自埃及河至百辣大河， |
|
19 卽基尼，基尼洗，甲摩尼， |
|
20 赫，比哩洗，哩乏音， |
|
21 亞摩哩、迦南，革迦撒、耶布西諸族之地。 |
GenesisChapter 15 |
|
1 AFTER these things the word of the LORD came to Abram in a vision, saying, Fear not, Abram; I am your shield, and your reward is exceedingly great. |
|
2 And Abram said, O LORD God, what will thou give me, for I will die childless, and Eliezer of Damascus, one of my household, will be my heir? |
|
3 And Abram said, Behold, thou hast given me no son; and, behold, one of the members of my household will be my heir. |
|
4 Then the LORD said to him, This man shall not be your heir; but your own son that shall come out of your own loins shall be your heir. |
|
5 And he brought him outside, and said to him, Look now toward heaven and number the stars, if you are able to number them; and he said to him, So shall your descendants be. |
|
6 And Abram believed in the LORD; and it was counted to him for righteousness. |
|
7 And he said to him, I am the LORD, who brought you out of Ur of the Chaldeans, to give you this land to inherit it. |
|
8 And Abram said, O LORD God, whereby shall I know that I shall inherit it? |
|
9 And he said to him, Take for yourself a heifer, three years old, a three year old ram, a three year old she-goat, a pigeon, and a young dove. |
|
10 And he took to himself all these, and cut them in two, and laid each piece against another; but the birds he did not divide. |
|
11 And when the birds of prey came down upon the carcasses, Abram drove them away. |
|
12 And when the sun was going down, a deep sleep fell on Abram; and, lo, fear and a great darkness fell upon him. |
|
13 And the LORD said to Abram, Know of a surety that your descendants shall be strangers in a land that is not theirs, and shall be in servitude: and they shall afflict them for four hundred years; |
|
14 But I will judge the nation which they shall serve; and afterward they shall come out with great wealth. |
|
15 And you shall depart from this life and go to your fathers in peace; and you shall be buried at a good old age. |
|
16 And after four centuries, they shall return here; for the iniquities of the Amorites are not yet full. |
|
17 And it came to pass that when the sun had set and it was dark, behold there appeared a smoking furnace and a burning torch that passed between those pieces. |
|
18 On that day the LORD made a covenant with Abram, saying, To your descendants have I given this land, from the river of Egypt to the great river, the river Euphrates: |
|
19 The land of the Kenites, Kenizzites, and the Kadmonites, |
|
20 The Hittites, the Perizzites, the Giants, |
|
21 The Amorites, the Canaanites, the Girgashites, and the Jebusites. |
