| 1這些事以後，有上主的話在神視中對亞巴郎說：「亞巴郎，你不要怕，我是你的盾牌；你得的報酬必很豐厚！」 | 1After this the word of Yahweh was spoken to Abram in a vision: "Do not be afraid, Abram, I am your shield; your reward will be very great!" |
| 2亞巴郎說：「我主上主！你能給我什麼？我一直沒有兒子；繼承我家業的是大馬士革人厄里厄則爾。」 | 2Abram said, "My Lord Yahweh, where are your promises? I am still childless and all I have will go to Eliezer of Damascus. |
| 3亞巴郎又說：「你既沒有賜給我後裔，那麼只有一個家僕來作我的承繼人。」 | 3You have given me no children, so a slave of mine will be my heir." |
| 4有上主的話答覆他說：「這人決不會是你的承繼人，而是你親生的要做你的承繼人。」 | 4Then the word of Yahweh was spoken to him again, "Eliezer will not be your heir, but a child born of you (your own flesh and blood) will be your heir." |
| 5上主遂領他到外面說：「請你仰觀蒼天，數點星辰，你能夠數清嗎？」繼而對他說：「你的後裔也將這樣。」 | 5Then Yahweh brought him outside and said to him, "Look up at the sky and count the stars if you can. Your descendants will be like that." |
| 6亞巴郎相信了上主，上主就以此算為他的正義。 | 6Abram believed Yahweh who, because of this, held him to be an upright man. |
| 7上主又對他說：「我是上主，我從加色丁人的烏爾領你出來，是為將這地賜給你作為產業。」 | 7And he said, "I am Yahweh who brought you from Ur of the Chaldeans to give you this land as your possession." |
| 8亞巴郎說：「我主上主！我如何知道我要佔有此地為產業？」 | 8Then Abram asked, "My Lord, how am I to know that it shall be mine?" |
| 9上主對他說：「你給我拿來一隻三歲的母牛，一隻三歲的母山羊，一隻三歲的公綿羊，一隻斑鳩和一隻雛鴿。」 | 9Yahweh replied, "Bring me a three-year-old heifer, a three-year-old goat, a three-year-old ram, a turtle dove and a young pigeon." |
| 10亞巴郎便把這一切拿了來，每樣從中剖開，將一半與另一半相對排列，只有飛鳥沒有剖開。 | 10Abram brought all these animals, cut them in two, and laid each half facing its other half, but he did not cut the birds in half. |
| 11有鷙鳥落在獸屍上，亞巴郎就把牠們趕走。 | 11The birds of prey came down upon them, but Abram drove them away. |
| 12太陽快要西落時，亞巴郎昏沉地睡去，忽覺陰森萬分，遂害怕起來。 | 12As the sun was going down, a deep sleep came over Abram, and a dreadful darkness took hold of him. |
| 13上主對亞巴郎說：「你當知道，你的後裔必要寄居在異邦，受人奴役虐待四百年之久。 | 13Then Yahweh said to Abram, "Know for certain that your descendants will be exiles in a land that is not theirs. They will be slaves there, oppressed for four hundred years. |
| 14但是，我要親自懲罰他們所要服事的民族；如此你的後裔必要帶著豐富的財物由那裏出來。 | 14But I will judge the nation that oppresses them, and after that, they will not leave empty-handed. |
| 15至於你，你要享受高壽，以後平安回到你列祖那裏，被人埋葬。 | 15As for yourself, you shall go to your fathers in peace, and be buried at a ripe old age. |
| 16到了第四代，他們必要回到這裏，因為阿摩黎人的罪惡至今尚未滿貫。」 | 16Your descendants of the fourth generation will come back here, for the wickedness of the Amorites has not yet deserved that I take the land from them." |
| 17當日落天黑的時候，看，有冒煙的火爐和燃著的火炬，由那些肉塊間經過。 | 17When the sun had set and darkness had fallen, a smoking firepot and a flaming torch passed between the halves of the victims. |
| 18在這一天，上主與亞巴郎立約說：「我要賜給你後裔的這土地，是從埃及河直到幼發拉的河， | 18On that day Yahweh made a covenant with Abram, saying, "To your descendants I have given this country from the river of Egypt to the Great River, the Euphrates. |
| 19就是刻尼人、刻納次人、卡德摩尼人、 | 19The land of the Kenites, the Kenizzites, the Kadmonites, |
| 20赫特人、培黎齊人、勒法因人、 | 20the Hittites, the Perizzites, the Rephraim, |
| 21阿摩黎人、客納罕人、基爾加士人和耶步斯人的土地。」 | 21the Amorites, the Canaanites, the Girgashites and the Jebusites." |
