| 15:1 |
这事以后，耶和华在异象中有话对亚伯兰说：亚伯兰，你不要惧怕，我是你的盾牌，必大大地赏赐你。
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. |
|
|
| 15:2 |
亚伯兰说：主耶和华啊，我既无子，你还赐我什么呢，并且要承受我家业的是大马士革人以利以谢。
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? |
|
|
| 15:3 |
亚伯兰又说：你没有给我儿子。那生在我家中的人就是我的后嗣。
And Abram said, Behold, to me thou hast given no seed: and, lo, one born in my house is mine heir. |
|
|
| 15:4 |
耶和华又有话对他说：这人必不成为你的后嗣。你本身所生的才成为你的后嗣。
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. |
|
|
| 15:5 |
于是领他走到外边，说：你向天观看，数算众星，能数得过来吗？又对他说：你的后裔将要如此。
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. |
|
|
| 15:6 |
亚伯兰信耶和华，耶和华就以此为他的义。
And he believed in the LORD; and he counted it to him for righteousness. |
|
|
| 15:7 |
耶和华又对他说：我是耶和华，曾领你出了迦勒底的吾珥，为要将这地赐你为业。
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. |
|
|
| 15:8 |
亚伯兰说：主耶和华啊，我怎能知道必得这地为业呢。
And he said, LORD God, whereby shall I know that I shall inherit it? |
|
|
| 15:9 |
他说：你为我取一只三年的母牛，一只三年的母山羊，一只三年的公绵羊，一只斑鸠，一只雏鸽。
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. |
|
|
| 15:10 |
亚伯兰就取了这些来，每样劈开，分成两半，一半对着一半地摆列，只有鸟没有劈开。
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. |
|
|
| 15:11 |
有鸷鸟下来，落在那死畜的肉上，亚伯兰就把它吓飞了。
And when the fowls came down upon the carcases, Abram drove them away. |
|
|
| 15:12 |
日头正落的时候，亚伯兰沉沉地睡了。忽然有惊人的大黑暗落在他身上。
And when the sun was going down, a deep sleep fell upon Abram; and, lo, an horror of great darkness fell upon him. |
|
|
| 15:13 |
耶和华对亚伯兰说：你要的确知道，你的后裔必寄居别人的地，又服侍那地的人。那地的人要苦待他们四百年。
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; |
|
|
| 15:14 |
并且他们所要服侍的那国，我要惩罚，后来他们必带着许多财物从那里出来。
And also that nation, whom they shall serve, will I judge: and afterward shall they come out with great substance. |
|
|
| 15:15 |
但你要享大寿数，平平安安地归到你列祖那里，被人埋葬。
And thou shalt go to thy fathers in peace; thou shalt be buried in a good old age. |
|
|
| 15:16 |
到了第四代，他们必回到此地，因为亚摩利人的罪孽还没有满盈。
But in the fourth generation they shall come hither again: for the iniquity of the Amorites is not yet full. |
|
|
| 15:17 |
日落天黑，不料有冒烟的炉并烧着的火把从那些肉块中经过。
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. |
|
|
| 15:18 |
当那日，耶和华与亚伯兰立约，说：我已赐给你的后裔，从埃及河直到伯大河之地，
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: |
|
|
| 15:19 |
就是基尼人，基尼洗人，甲摩尼人，
The Kenites, and the Kenizzites, and the Kadmonites, |
|
|
| 15:20 |
赫人，比利洗人，利乏音人，
And the Hittites, and the Perizzites, and the Rephaims, |
|
|
| 15:21 |
亚摩利人，迦南人，革迦撒人，耶布斯人之地。
And the Amorites, and the Canaanites, and the Girgashites, and the Jebusites. |
