Mui 24
1 A: ibalaha: me da ode bagohame lai dagoiba: le, da: idafa ba: su. Be Hina Gode da ea hou huluane amo ganodini hahawane dogolegelewane fidilalusu.
And Abraam was old, advanced in days, and the Lord blessed Abraam in all things.
2 E da ea da: i hamoi hawa: hamosu dunu (amo da ea liligi huluane ouligisu) ema amane sia: i, “Dia lobo amo na masele hagudu ligisili, dafawane ilegele sia: ma!
And Abraam said to his servant the elder of his house, who had rule over all his possessions, Put your hand under my thigh,
3 Na da agoane hanai galebe. Di da Hina Gode amo da Hebene Hina amola osobo bagade Hina, amo Ea Dioba: le gasa bagade sia: ma. Di da Ga: ina: ne fi (amo ganodini na da wali esala) amoga nagofe uda lama: ne mae ilegema.
and I will adjure you by the Lord the God of heaven, and the God of the earth, that you take not a wife for my son Isaac from the daughters of the Chananites, with whom I dwell, in the midst of them.
4 Be na musa: fi sogega asili, na fidafa amo ganodini hogolalu, nagofe Aisage uda lama: ne, a:fini sia: sima!”
But you shall go instead to my country, where I was born, and to my tribe, and you shall take from thence a wife for my son Isaac.
5 Ea hawa: hamosu dunu da bu adole ba: i, “Be amo uda da na amola bu sigi misunu hihi galea, na da adi hamoma: bela: ? Na da dia mano amo dia musa: sogega bu oule masa: bela: ?”
And the servant said to him, Shall I carry back your son to the land whence you came forth, if haply the woman should not be willing to return with me to this land?
6 Be A: ibalaha: me da amane sia: i, “Hame mabu! Di amoga nagofe bu mae oule masa!
And Abraam said to him, Take heed to yourself that you carry not my son back there.
7 Hina Gode amo Hebene amoga Hina esala, e da na ada amo ea diasu amola na soge yolesili ga masa: ne sia: ne, nama gasawane amane sia: i, ‘Na da dafawane ilegele sia: sa! Na da amo soge (Ga: ina: ne) digaga fi ilima imunu.’ Amo Gode da Ea a: igele dunu dima bisimusa: asunasimu. Bai di da amo sogega nagofema ima: ne uda lamu defele ba: mu.
The Lord the God of heaven, and the God of the earth, who took me out of my father's house, and out of the land whence I sprang, who spoke to me, and who swore to me, saying, I will give this land to you and to your seed, he shall send his angel before you, and you shall take a wife to my son from thence.
8 Be uda da di guiguda: oule misunu amo higasea, defea, dia da nama Gode Ea Dioba: le sia: i, amo na da bu hame dawa: mu. Be na mano maedafa bu oule masa.”
And if the woman should not be willing to come with you into this land, you shall be clear from my oath, only carry not my son there again.
9 Amaiba: le, hawa: hamosu dunu da ea hina A: ibalaha: me amo ea masele hagudu ea lobo ligisili, Gode Ea Dioba: le gasa bagade amo liligi hamoma: ne ilegele sia: i.
And the servant put his hand under the thigh of his master Abraam, and swore to him concerning this matter.
10 Amalalu, hawa: hamosu dunu da ea hina ga: mele nabuane gala amo lale, ea hina ea liligi noga: iwane aguni, gadili asi. E da Alame Nahalaime soge amoga doaga: musa: asili, Na: iho moilaiga doaga: i.
And the servant took ten camels of his master's camels, and [he took] of all the goods of his master with him, and he arose and went into Mesopotamia to the city of Nachor.
11 Hano uli dogoi moilai gadili sogebi gala amoga doaga: loba, ea sia: beba: le, ga: mele da muguni bugi. Eso dabe da gadenenewane ba: i. Amoha, uda ilia hou da hano uli dogoi amoga hano dima: ne hiougimusa: ahoasu.
And he rested his camels without the city by the well of water towards evening, when damsels go forth to draw water.
12 Amalalu, e da Godema amane sia: ne gadoi, “Hina Godedafa! Na hina A: ibalaha: me amo ea Gode! Na hawa: hamosu hahawane dagoma: ne Di fidima, amola na hina A: ibalaha: mema dia asigi hou olelema.
And he said, O Lord God of my master Abraam, prosper my way before me to day, and deal mercifully with my master Abraam.
13 Ba: ma! Na da amo hano nasu ulidou gadenene lela amola amo moilai dunu ilia uda mano da hano dimusa: manebe.
Behold! I stand by the well of water, and the daughters of them that inhabit the city come forth to draw water.
14 Na da agoane hanai gala. Na da a: finima ‘Dia hano disu amo na hano moma: ne ligisima.’ sia: sea, amola e da amane sia: sea, ‘Defea! Moma! Amola na da dia ga: mele moma: ne hano dili imunu.’ Amo hou ba: sea, Hina Gode da amo a: fini na hina ea mano lama: ne ilegei dagoi na da dawa: mu. Amola Di da na hinama asigi hou olelei dagoi, amo na da dawa: mu.”
And it shall be, the virgin to whoever I shall say, Incline your water-pot, that I may drink, and she shall say, Drink you, and I will give your camels drink, until they shall have done drinking—even this one you have prepared for your servant Isaac, and hereby shall I know that you have dealt mercifully with my master Abraam.
15 E da sia: ne gadolaloba, Lebega da misini, ea hano ganagu amo gisa manebe ba: i. Lebega da Bediuele ea idiwi, amola Bediuele ea: me da A: ibalaha: me ola Na: iho amo idua, ea dio amo Miliga.
And it came to pass before he had done speaking in his mind, that behold, Rebecca the daughter of Bathuel, the son of Melcha, the wife of Nachor, and [the same] the brother of Abraam, came forth, having a water-pot on her shoulders.
16 Lebega ea ba: su da noga: idafa ba: i. E da a: fini galu. Dunu afae da e amola gilisili hame golai. E da hano nasua asili, ea ganagu nabalesili, bu heda: i.
And the virgin was very beautiful in appearance, she was a virgin, a man had not known her; and she went down to the well, and filled her water-pot, and came up.
17 A: ibalaha: me ea hawa: hamosu dunu da hedolo ema misini, amane sia: i, “Na da dia ganagu amoga hano fonobahadi manu da defeala: ?”
And the servant ran up to meet her, and said, Give me a little water to drink out of your pitcher;
18 A: fini da amane sia: i, “Defea! Ada! Di moma!” Amalalu, e da ganagu ligisili, ea lobo ganodini gaguli, ema hano i.
and she said, Drink, Sir; and she hasted, and let down the pitcher upon her arm, and gave him to drink, till he ceased drinking.
19 Hano dili ianu, e amane sia: i, “Na da dia ga: mele moma: ne amola hano dili imunu. Ilia sadi dagoiba: le fawane yolesimu.”
And she said, I will also draw water for your camels, till they shall all have drunk.
20 Amaiba: le, e da ea ganagu amo hano ga: mele hano nasu ganodini sogasalili, hano uli dogoi amoga hehenane, hano eno dili, ga: mele sadi dagoiba: le yolesi.
And she hasted, and emptied the water-pot into the trough, and ran to the well to draw again, and drew water for all the camels.
21 A: ibalaha: me hawa: hamosu dunu da ouiya: le esalu. Gode da ea ahoabe bai amo noga: le fidi amo dawa: musa: gini, E da amo a: fini ea hou ha: giwane ba: lalu.
And the man took great notice of her, and remained silent to know whether the Lord had made his way prosperous or not.
22 Ga: mele da hano na dagoloba, A:ibalaha: me ea hawa: hamosu dunu da mi bione gala: su gouliga hamoi amo Lebega ea mi ga: i, amola gouli lobofasele fei. Mi bione gala: su ea dioi defei da gala: me biyale agoane amola fesuale fesu da gala: me 100agoane.
And it came to pass when all the camels ceased drinking, that the man took golden ear-rings, each of a drachm weight, and he [put] two bracelets on her hands, their weight was ten pieces of gold.
23 Amalalu, A:ibalaha: me ea hawa: hamosu dunu da ema amane adole ba: i, “Di da nowa ea manola: ? Nama adoma! Dia ada diasu amo ganodini nini golama: ne sogebi ganabela: ?
And he asked her, and said, Whose daughter are you? Tell me if there is room for us to lodge with your father.
24 A: fini da bu adole i, “Na da Bediuele ea mano. Bediuele da Na: iho amola idua Miliga ela mano.”
And she said to him, I am the daughter of Bathuel the son of Melcha, whom she bore to Nachor.
25 Amalalu, e bu adole i, “Ninia diasua da gisi ha: i manu bagohame gala. Amola dilia gasia golama: ne, sogebi bagade gala.
And she said to him, We have both straw and much provender, and a place for resting.
26 Amalalu, hawa: hamosu dunu e da beguduli, Hina Godema nodone sia: ne gadoi.
And the man being well pleased, worshipped the Lord,
27 E amane sia: i, “Na da Hina Gode dio nodone gaguia gadosa. Na hina A: ibalaha: me, amo ea Gode da ema asigi hou hame yolesi. Be Hina Gode da na bisili asili, nama na hina ea fi dunu ilia diasu noga: le olelei.
and said, Blessed be the Lord the God of my master Abraam, who has not suffered his righteousness to fail, nor his truth from my master, and the Lord has brought me prosperously to the house of the brother of my lord.
28 Lebega da hehenane, ea ame fi ilima amo hou olelei.
And the damsel ran and reported to the house of her mother according to these words.
29 Lebega ea ola amo ea dio La: iba: ne esalu. La: iba: ne da hehenane, hano nasu amoga doaga: musa: asi.
And Rebecca had a brother whose name was Laban; and Laban ran out to meet the man, to the well.
30 E da Lebega lai liligi, amo mi bione ga: i amola gouli lobofasele fei ba: i dagoi. E da Lebega ea sia: nabi dagoi. Amabeba: le, e da asili, A:ibalaha: me ea hawa: hamosu dunu ea ga: mele amo hano nasu gadenene lelebe ba: i.
And it came to pass when he saw the ear-rings and the bracelets on the hands of his sister, and when he heard the words of Rebecca his sister, saying, Thus the man spoke to me, that he went to the man, as he stood by the camels at the well.
31 E amane sia: i, “Hina Gode da dima hahawane dogolegele ilegesa. Misa! Di da abuli gadili lela. Na da di golama: ne amola ga: mele golama: ne diasu hahamoi dagoi.”
And he said to him, Come in hither, you blessed of the Lord, why stand you without, whereas I have prepared the house and a place for the camels?
32 Amaiba: le, dunu da diasuga asi. La: iba: ne da ga: mele amoga liligi lale ligisi. E da gisi amola ha: i manu ga: mele ilima gaguli misi, amola A: ibalaha: me ea hawa: hamosu dunu amola ea fidisu dunu ilia emo dodofema: ne, hano dili i.
And the man entered into the house, and unloaded the camels, and gave the camels straw and provender, and water to wash his feet, and the feet of the men that were with him.
33 Amalalu, amo dunu ha: i moma: ne, ilia da ha: i manu gaguli misi. Be e amane sia: i, Na da na sia: ne iasu sia: i dagoiba: le fawane, ha: i manu. La: iba: ne da amane sia: i, “Defea! Ninima adoma!”
And he set before them loaves to eat; but he said, I will not eat, until I have told my errand. And he said, Speak on.
34 Amaiba: le, e amane sia: i, “Na da A: ibalaha: me ea hawa: hamosu dunu.
And he said, I am a servant of Abraam;
35 Hina Gode da na hina amo hahawane dogolegelewane bagade fidibiba: le, e da wali bagade gagui dunu esala. Gode da ema sibi, bulamagau, silifa, gouli, hawa: hamosu dunu, hawa: hamosu uda, ga: mele, amola dougi ema i dagoi.
and the Lord has blessed my master greatly, and he is exalted, and he has given him sheep, and calves, and silver, and gold, servants and servant-maids, camels, and asses.
36 Ea uda Sela da da: i hamoi be ema dunu mano da lalelegei. Na hina da amo manoma ea gagui huluane i dagoi.
And Sarrha my master's wife bore one son to my master after he had grown old; and he gave him whatever he had.
37 Na hina da logeiba: le, na da Gode Ea Dioba: le gasa bagade ilegele sia: i. Na hina da amane sia: i, “Na da Ga: ina: ne fi amo ganodini esala. Be amoga nagofe uda lama: ne, uda mae sia: sima.
And my master caused me to swear, saying, You shall not take a wife to my son of the daughters of the Chananites, amongst whom I sojourn in their land.
38 Be na ada ea sosogo fi amola na fidafa ilima nagofe ea uda lala masa.’
But you shall go to the house of my father, and to my tribe, and you shall take thence a wife for my son.
39 Amalalu, na da na hinama amane adole ba: i, “Be amo uda da na amola bu sigi misunu hihi galea, na adi hamoma: bela: ?”
And I said to my master, Haply the woman will not go with me.
40 E da nama bu adole i, ‘Hina Godedafa, amo Ea sia: na eso huluane naba, E di fidima: ne Ea a: igele dunu asunasimu. Di na fidafa, amola na ada ea sosogo fi amoga uda na mano ea lama: ne sia: sima.
And he said to me, The Lord God to whom I have been acceptable in his presence, himself shall send out his angel with you, and shall prosper your journey, and you shall take a wife for my son of my tribe, and of the house of my father.
41 Dia gasa bagade sia: amo mae hamoma: ne, logo afadafa fawane gala. Di da na fi ilima asili amola ilia amo uda dima imunu higasea, defea, yolema.’
Then shall you be clear from my curse, for whenever you shall have come to my tribe, and they shall not give her to you, then shall you be clear from my oath.
42 Na da wali eso hano nasu uli dogoi amoga doaga: loba, na amane sia: ne gadoi, ‘Hina Gode! Na hina A: ibalaha: me ea Gode! Dia na wali hou hamobe fidima!
And having come this day to the well, I said, Lord God of my master Abraam, if you prosper my journey on which I am now going,
43 Na da hano nasu uli dogoiga esala. A: fini afae hano dimusa: masea, e da nama ea ganagu, hano dili ima: ne na da adole ba: mu.
behold, I stand by the well of water, and the daughters of the men of the city come forth to draw water, and it shall be [that] the damsel to whom I shall say, Give me a little water to drink out of your pitcher,
44 E da amo iasea amola baligili na ga: mele ilima hano imunusa: sia: sea, amo da na hina ea mano lama: ne a: fini Di ilegei dagoi, na dawa: mu.’
and she shall say to me, Both drink you, and I will draw water for your camels, this [shall be] the wife whom the Lord has prepared for his own servant Isaac; and hereby shall I know that you have wrought mercy with my master Abraam.
45 Na sia: ne gadoi da hame dagoloba, Lebega da hano ganagu gisa manebe ba: i. E hano nasu amoga hano dimusa: sa: i. Na ema amane sia: i, ‘Na da dima edegesa. Hano nama ima.’
And it came to pass before I had done speaking in my mind, straightway Rebecca came forth, having her pitcher on her shoulders; and she went down to the well, and drew water; and I said to her, Give me to drink.
46 E hedolo ea ganagu gisi, amo osoba ligisili, amane sia: i, ‘Defea! Moma! Na da dia ga: mele amola ilima hano dili imunu.’ Amalalu, na hano mai, amola e da ga: mele ilima hano i.
And she hasted and let down her pitcher on her arm from her head, and said, Drink you, and I will give your camels drink; and I drank, and she gave the camels drink.
47 Na ema amane adole ba: i, ‘Dia ada nowala: ?’ E bu adole i, ‘Na ada da Bediuele amo Na: iho amola Miliga ela mano.’ Amalalu, na da ea mi amoga mi bione gala: su amola ea lobofasele fei.
And I asked her, and said, Whose daughter are you? tell me; and she said, I am daughter of Bathuel the son of Nachor, whom Melcha bore to him; and I put on her the ear-rings, and the bracelets on her hands.
48 Na muguni bugili Hina Godema nodone sia: ne gadoi. Na da Hina Godedafa, na hina A: ibalaha: me ea Gode, amo Ea Dio nodone gaguia gadoi. E da moloiwane na hina ea fi amoga doaga: musa: logo olelei dagoiba: le amola na hina ea mano uda lamu amo noga: le oleleiba: le, na nodoi.
And being well-pleased I worshipped the Lord, and I blessed the Lord the God of my master Abraam, who has prospered me in a true way, so that I should take the daughter of my master's brother for his son.
49 Defea! Dilia da moloiwane na hina ea hanai hamomusa: dawa: i galea, nama adoma. Be higa: i galea, amo nama adoma. Amasea, na da fa: no hamomu, amo na da sia: mu.
If then you [will] deal mercifully and justly with my lord, [tell me], and if not, tell me, that I may turn to the right hand or to the left.
50 La: iba: ne amola Bediuele da bu adole i, “Amo hou Hina Gode Hi hamoiba: le, ninia sia: mu da hamedei.
And Laban and Bathuel answered and said, This matter has come forth from the Lord, we shall not be able to answer you bad or good.
51 Lebega da amogai lela. Lale masa. Hina Godedafa Ea sia: defele, e da dia hina ea mano ema fimu da defea.”
Behold, Rebecca is before you, take her and go away, and let her be wife to the son of your master, as the Lord has said.
52 A: ibalaha: me ea hawa: hamosu dunu da amo sia: nabaloba, beguduli, Hina Godema nodone sia: ne gadoi.
And it came to pass when the servant of Abraam heard these words, he bowed himself to the Lord down to the earth.
53 Amalalu, ea liligi amoga e da abula, silifa, gouli amola muni bagade igi lale, Lebegama i. E da muni bagade liligi Lebega ea ola amola ea: mema i.
And the servant having brought forth jewels of silver and gold and raiment, gave them to Rebecca, and gave gifts to her brother, and to her mother.
54 Amalalu, A:ibalaha: me ea hawa: hamosu dunu amola ea fidisu dunu da ha: i amola hano nanu golai. Hahabe, nedigili, wa: legadole, e amane sia: i, “Dilia na hina ema na bu asunasima!”
And both he and the men with him ate and drank and went to sleep. And he arose in the morning and said, Send me away, that I may go to my master.
55 Be Lebega ea ola amola ea: me da amane sia: i, “A: fini da hi afae o eso nabuane gala amo gui esalumu da defea. Amolalu masunu da defea.”
And her brethren and her mother said, Let the virgin remain with us about ten days, and after that she shall depart.
56 Be e da bu adole i, “Ninia ouesalumu mae sia: ma. Bai Hina Gode da na sofe ahoasu amola hamobe noga: le didili fidi. Na da na hina ema bu masunu da defea.”
But he said to them, Hinder me not, for the Lord has prospered my journey for me; send me away, that I may depart to my master.
57 Ilia da bu adole i, “Ninia da a: fini misa: ne sia: mu. Ea sia: nabimu da defea.”
And they said, Let us call the damsel, and enquire at her mouth.
58 Amaiba: le, ilia da Lebega misa: ne sia: i. Ilia da ema amane adole ba: i, “Di da amo dunu sigi masa: bela: ?” E bu adole i, “Ma!”
And they called Rebecca, and said to her, Will you go with this man? and she said, I will go.
59 Amabeba: le, ilia da Lebega amola ea hawa: hamosu uda da: i, amo A: ibalaha: me ea hawa: hamosu dunu, amola ea fidisu dunu amo sigi masa: ne sia: i.
So they sent forth Rebecca their sister, and her goods, and the servant of Abraam, and his attendants.
60 Amola ilia da Lebegama amo hahawane dogolegele sia: su sia: i, “Di, ninia dalusi, dunu fi osea: idafa ilima ame esaloma! Dima lalelegei fi da ilima ha lai dunu, ilima osa: le heda: mu da defea!”
And they blessed Rebecca, and said to her, You are our sister; become you thousands of myriads, and let your seed possess the cities of their enemies.
61 Amalalu, Lebega amola ea a: fini fidisu huluane da liligi momagele, ga: mele da: iya fila heda: le, A:ibalaha: me ea hawa: hamosu dunu sigi asi. A: ibalaha: me ea hawa: hamosu dunu da Lebega oule asi.
And Rebecca rose up and her maidens, and they mounted the camels and went with the man; and the servant having taken up Rebecca, departed.
62 Aisage da dunu hame esalebe hafoga: i soge amo ea dio da “Gode Esala da na Ba: lala amo Ea Hano Nasu Uli Dogoi.” amogai misini esalebe ba: i. Amo da Ga: ina: ne soge ga (south) la: idi dialu.
And Isaac went through the wilderness to the well of the vision, and he lived in the land towards the south.
63 E da baloga amo odagiaba sogega ahoanoba, ga: mele manebe ba: i.
And Isaac went forth into the plain towards evening to meditate; and having lifted up his eyes, he saw camels coming.
64 Lebega da Aisage ba: loba, ga: mele amoga esalu, gudu aligila sa: i.
And Rebecca lifted up her eyes, and saw Isaac; and she alighted briskly from the camel,
65 E da A: ibalaha: me hawa: hamosu dunu ema amane adole ba: i, “Amo dunu ninima manebe da nowala: ?” A: ibalaha: me ea hawa: hamosu dunu da bu adole i, “E da na hina.” Amaiba: le, Lebega da ea dialuma abula lale, ea odagi dedeboi.
and said to the servant, Who is that man that walks in the plain to meet us? And the servant said, This is my master; and she took her veil and covered herself.
66 Amalalu, hawa: hamosu dunu da ea hamoi huluane Aisagema olelei.
And the servant told Isaac all that he had done.
67 Amalalu, Aisage da Lebega lale, abula diasu amo ea: me Sela musa: esalu amoga oule misi. Aisage da Lebegama bagade asigi galu. Ea: me Sela da bogoi dagoiba: le e da da: i dioi galu. Be Lebega laiba: le ea dogo denesi.
And Isaac went into the house of his mother, and took Rebecca, and she became his wife, and he loved her; and Isaac was comforted for Sarrha his mother.
