# 创-Gen 15 ## 创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。” Gen 15:1 “After these things the word of the LORD came to Abram in a vision: “Fear not, Abram, I am your shield; your reward shall be very great.” ## 创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色人以利以谢。” Gen 15:2 “But Abram said, “O Lord GOD, what will you give me, for I continue childless, and the heir of my house is Eliezer of Damascus?” ## 创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。” Gen 15:3 “And Abram said, “Behold, you have given me no offspring, and a member of my household will be my heir.” ## 创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。” Gen 15:4 “And behold, the word of the LORD came to him: “This man shall not be your heir; your very own son shall be your heir.” ## 创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。” Gen 15:5 “And he brought him outside and said, “Look toward heaven, and number the stars, if you are able to number them.” Then he said to him, “So shall your offspring be.” ## 创15:6 亚伯兰信耶和华，耶和华就以此为他的义。 Gen 15:6 “And he believed the LORD, and he counted it to him as righteousness.” ## 创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。” Gen 15:7 “And he said to him, “I am the LORD who brought you out from Ur of the Chaldeans to give you this land to possess.” ## 创15:8 亚伯兰说：“主耶和华啊，我怎能知道必得这地为业呢？” Gen 15:8 “But he said, “O Lord GOD, how am I to know that I shall possess it?” ## 创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。” Gen 15:9 “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.” ## 创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。 Gen 15:10 “And he brought him all these, cut them in half, and laid each half over against the other. But he did not cut the birds in half.” ## 创15:11 有鸷鸟下来落在那死畜的肉上，亚伯兰就把它吓飞了。 Gen 15:11 “And when birds of prey came down on the carcasses, Abram drove them away.” ## 创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。 Gen 15:12 “As the sun was going down, a deep sleep fell on Abram. And behold, dreadful and great darkness fell upon him.” ## 创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，又服事那地的人，那地的人要苦待他们四百年。 Gen 15:13 “Then the LORD said to Abram, “Know for certain that your offspring will be sojourners in a land that is not theirs and will be servants there, and they will be afflicted for four hundred years.” ## 创15:14 并且他们所要服事的那国，我要惩罚，后来他们必带着许多财物从那里出来。 Gen 15:14 “But I will bring judgment on the nation that they serve, and afterward they shall come out with great possessions.” ## 创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。 Gen 15:15 “As for yourself, you shall go to your fathers in peace; you shall be buried in a good old age.” ## 创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。” Gen 15:16 “And they shall come back here in the fourth generation, for the iniquity of the Amorites is not yet complete.” ## 创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。 Gen 15:17 “When the sun had gone down and it was dark, behold, a smoking fire pot and a flaming torch passed between these pieces.” ## 创15:18 当那日，耶和华与亚伯兰立约，说：“我已赐给你的后裔，从埃及河直到伯拉大河之地； Gen 15:18 “On that day the LORD made a covenant with Abram, saying, “To your offspring I give this land, from the river of Egypt to the great river, the river Euphrates,” ## 创15:19 就是基尼人、基尼洗人、甲摩尼人、 Gen 15:19 “the land of the Kenites, the Kenizzites, the Kadmonites,” ## 创15:20 赫人、比利洗人、利乏音人、 Gen 15:20 “the Hittites, the Perizzites, the Rephaim,” ## 创15:21 亚摩利人、迦南人、革迦撒人、耶布斯人之地。” Gen 15:21 “the Amorites, the Canaanites, the Girgashites and the Jebusites.”
