"that your descendants will serve"
abundant possessions
"many possessions" or "great wealth"
you will go to your fathers
"you will go to your ancestors." This means "you will die." (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metonymy)
you will be buried in a good old age
This can be translated as "you will be very old when you die and your family buries your body."
In the fourth generation
In this verse, one generation apparently refers to a lifespan of 100 years. Therefore it could be translated as "After four hundred years."

"your descendants will come back here." Abraham's descendants would come to the land where Abram was then living, the land that Yahweh had promised to give to him.

"is not yet complete." It can also be translated as "will get much worse before I punish them."
