16 Ka mea, Kua waiho e ahau ko ahau ano hei oati, e ai ta Ihowa, mou i mea i tenei mea, mou ano hoki kihai i kaiponu i tau tama, i tau huatahi:

17 Na, ka manaakitia rawatia koe e ahau, a ka whakanuia rawatia e ahau ou uri kia pera me nga whetu o te rangi, me te onepu hoki i te tahatika o te moana; a ka riro i ou uri te kuwaha o ona hoariri;

18 Ma tou uri ano hoki ka manaakitia ai nga iwi katoa o te whenua; mou i whakarongo ki toku reo.

16 Saying, I have taken an oath by my name, says the Lord, because you have done this and have not kept back from me your dearly loved only son,

17 That I will certainly give you my blessing, and your seed will be increased like the stars of heaven and the sand by the seaside; your seed will take the land of those who are against them;

18 And your seed will be a blessing to all the nations of the earth, because you have done what I gave you orders to do.
