Genesis 15
Ang Biblia, 2001
Ang Tipan ng Diyos kay Abram
15 Pagkatapos ng mga bagay na ito, dumating ang salita ng Panginoon kay Abram sa isang pangitain, “Huwag kang matakot, Abram; ako ang iyong kalasag, ang iyong gantimpala ay magiging napakadakila.”
2 Ngunit sinabi ni Abram, “O Panginoong Diyos, anong ibibigay mo sa akin, yamang ako'y patuloy na walang anak at ang tagapagmana ng aking bahay ay si Eliezer ng Damasco?”
3 At sinabi ni Abram, “Hindi mo ako binigyan ng anak at isang alipin na ipinanganak sa aking bahay ang magiging tagapagmana ko.”
4 Ngunit ang salita ng Panginoon ay dumating sa kanya, “Hindi ang taong ito ang magiging tagapagmana mo; ang iyong sariling anak ang magiging tagapagmana mo.”
5 Siya'y(A) dinala niya sa labas at sinabi, “Tumingala ka ngayon sa langit, at iyong bilangin ang mga bituin, kung mabibilang mo.” At sinabi sa kanya, “Magiging ganyan ang iyong binhi.”
6 Sumampalataya(B) siya sa Panginoon; at ito'y ibinilang na katuwiran sa kanya.
7 At sinabi niya sa kanya, “Ako ang Panginoon na nagpaalis sa iyo sa Ur ng mga Caldeo, upang ibigay sa iyo ang lupaing ito para angkinin.”
8 Sinabi niya, “O Panginoong Diyos, paano ko malalaman na mamanahin ko iyon?”
9 At sinabi sa kanya, “Magdala ka rito ng isang dumalagang bakang tatlong taon ang gulang, isang babaing kambing na tatlong taon ang gulang, isang lalaking tupang tatlong taon ang gulang, isang inakay na batu-bato, at isang inakay na kalapati.”
10 Dinala niya ang lahat ng ito sa kanya at hinati niya sa gitna, at kanyang inihanay na magkakatapat ang isa't isa subalit hindi niya hinati ang mga ibon.
11 Nang bumaba ang mga ibong mandaragit sa mga bangkay, ang mga iyon ay binugaw ni Abram.
12 Nang(C) lulubog na ang araw, nakatulog si Abram nang mahimbing; isang makapal at nakakatakot na kadiliman ang dumating sa kanya.
13 Sinabi(D) ng Panginoon kay Abram, “Tunay na dapat mong malaman na ang iyong binhi ay magiging taga-ibang bayan sa lupaing hindi kanila, at sila'y magiging mga alipin doon, at sila'y pahihirapan sa loob ng apatnaraang taon;
14 ngunit(E) ang bansang kanilang paglilingkuran ay aking hahatulan; at pagkatapos ay aalis sila na may malaking ari-arian.
15 Subalit ikaw ay payapang tutungo sa iyong mga ninuno, at ikaw ay malilibing sa panahong lubos na ang iyong katandaan.
16 Sa ikaapat na salin ng iyong binhi, muli silang babalik rito sapagkat hindi pa nalulubos ang kasamaan ng mga Amoreo.”
17 Nang lumubog na ang araw at madilim na, isang hurnong umuusok at ang isang tanglaw na nagniningas ang dumaan sa gitna ng mga hinating hayop.
18 Nang(F) araw na iyon, ang Panginoon ay nakipagtipan kay Abram, na sinasabi, “Ibinigay ko ang lupaing ito sa iyong binhi, mula sa ilog ng Ehipto hanggang sa malaking ilog, ang Ilog Eufrates,
19 ang lupain ng mga Kineo, Kenizeo, at ng mga Cadmoneo,
20 ng mga Heteo, Perezeo, at Refaim,
21 at ng mga Amoreo, Cananeo, Gergeseo, at ng mga Jebuseo.”

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.”

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)
