創世記 24
1 亞巴郎年紀已老，上主在一切事上常祝福他。
And Abraham he was old he had come in days and Yahweh he had blessed Abraham in everything.
2 亞巴郎對管理他所有家產的老僕人說：「請你將手放在我的胯下，
And he said Abraham to servant his old of household his who was ruling over all that [belonged] to him put please hand your under thigh my.
3 要你指著上主、天地的天主起誓：你決不要為我的兒子，由我現住的客納罕人中，娶一個女子為妻；
So I may make swear you by Yahweh [the] God of the heavens and [the] God of the earth that not you will take a wife for son my from [the] daughters of the Canaanite[s] whom I [am] dwelling in midst its.
4 卻要到我的故鄉，我的親族中去，為我的兒子依撒格娶妻。」
For to land my and to kindred my you will go and you will take a wife for son my for Isaac.
5 僕人對他說：「假使那女子不願跟我到此地來，我能否帶你的兒子回到你的本鄉﹖」
And he said to him the servant perhaps not she will be willing the woman to go after me to the land this ¿ really will I take back son your to the land where you came out from there.
6 亞巴郎答覆他說：「你切不可帶我的兒子回到那裏去。
And he said to him Abraham take heed to yourself lest you should take back son my there towards.
7 那引我出離父家和我生身地，同我談過話，對我起誓說「我必將這地賜給你後裔」的上主，上天的天主，必派遣自己的使者作你的前導，領你由那裏給我兒子娶個妻子。
Yahweh - [the] God of the heavens who he took me from [the] household of father my and from [the] land of kindred my and who he spoke to me and who he swore an oath to me saying to offspring your I will give the land this he he will send angel his before you and you will take a wife for son my from there.
8 假若那女子不願跟你來，你對我起的誓，就與你無涉；無論如何，你不能帶我的兒子回到那裏去。」
And if not she will be willing the woman to go after you and you will be free from oath my this only son my not you must take back there towards.
9 僕人遂將手放在主人亞巴郎的胯下，為這事向他起了誓。
And he put the servant hand his under [the] thigh of Abraham master his and he swore an oath to him on the matter this.
10 僕人由他主人的駱駝中，牽了十匹駱駝，帶著主人的各樣寶物，起身往美索不達米亞的納曷爾城去了。
And he took the servant ten camels from [the] camels of master his and he went and every good thing of master his [was] in hand his and he arose and he went to Aram Naharaim to [the] city of Nahor.
11 傍晚，女人們出來打水的時候，他叫駱駝臥在城外的水井旁，
And he made kneel the camels from [the] outside of the city to [the] well of the water to [the] time of evening to [the] time of [the] going out of the [women who] draw water.
12 然後說：「上主、我主人亞巴郎的天主! 求你對我主人亞巴郎施行仁慈，今日使我幸運。
And he said - O Yahweh [the] God of master my Abraham make happen please before me this day and do covenant loyalty with master my Abraham.
13 看我站在水泉旁，此時城中的女子正出來打水。
Here! I [am] standing at [the] spring of the water and [the] daughters of [the] people of the city [are] coming out to draw water.
14 我對那個少女說：請你放下水罐，讓我喝點水。如果她答說：請喝! 並且我還要打水給你的駱駝喝，她即是你為你的僕人依撒格預定的少女；由此我知道，你對我主人施行了仁慈。」
And it will be the young woman whom I will say to her bend down please jar your so I may drink and she will say drink and also camels your I will give a drink to her you have appointed for servant your for Isaac and by it I will know that you have done covenant loyalty with master my.
15 話還沒有說完，黎貝加就肩著水罐出來了。她是亞巴郎的兄弟納曷爾的妻子米耳加的兒子貝突耳的女兒。
And it was he not yet he had finished to speak and there! Rebekah [was] coming out who she had been born to Bethuel [the] son of Milcah [the] wife of Nahor [the] brother of Abraham and jar her [was] on shoulder her.
16 這少女容貌很美，是個還沒有人認識的處女。她下到水泉，灌滿了水罐，就上來了。
And the young woman [was] good of appearance exceedingly a virgin and a man not he had known her and she went down the spring towards and she filled jar her and she came up.
17 僕人就跑上前去迎著她說：「請讓我喝點你水罐裏的水，好嗎! 」
And he ran the servant to meet her and he said give to drink me please a little of water from jar your.
18 她回答說：「先生! 請喝! 」她急忙將水罐放低，托在手上讓他喝。
And she said drink O lord my and she hurried and she put down jar her on hand her and she gave a drink him.
19 他喝足了以後，少女說：「我再為你的駱駝打水，叫牠們也喝足。」
And she finished to give a drink him and she said also for camels your I will draw water until they have finished to drink.
20 遂急忙將罐裏的水倒在槽裏，再跑到那井裏去打水，打給他的駱駝喝。
And she hurried and she emptied jar her into the watering channel and she ran again to the well to draw water and she drew water for all camels his.
21 僕人在旁靜靜地注視她，急願知道，是否上主已使他此行成功。
And the man [was] gazing to her being silent to know ¿ had he made successful Yahweh journey his or? not.
22 駱駝喝完了水以後，老人就拿出一個半「協刻耳」重的金鼻環，和一對重十「協刻耳」的金手鐲，給她戴上，
And it was just as they had finished the camels to drink and he took the man a ring of gold [was] a beka weight its and two bracelets on hands her [was] ten of gold weight their.
23 然後說：「請你告訴我你是誰的女兒﹖你父親家裏，有沒有地方可讓我們過宿﹖」
And he said daughter of whom? [are] you tell please to me ¿ [is] there [the] house of father your room for us to stay [the] night.
24 她回答說：「我是米耳加給納曷爾所生之子貝突耳的女兒。」
And she said to him [am] [the] daughter of Bethuel I [the] son of Milcah whom she bore to Nahor.
25 她又繼續說：「我們家裏有很多草料和飼糧，而且還有地方可供過宿。」
And she said to him both straw as well as fodder much which [is] with us also room to stay [the] night.
26 老人就俯身朝拜了上主，說：「
And he bowed low the man and he bowed down to Yahweh.
27 上主，我主人亞巴郎的天主應受讚美! 因為他不斷以仁慈和忠信善待了我的主人。上主也一路引我來到了我主人的老家。」
And he said [be] blessed Yahweh [the] God of master my Abraham who not he has left covenant loyalty his and faithfulness his from with master my I on the journey he has led me Yahweh [the] house of [the] relatives of master my.
28 那少女跑回去，將這一切事告訴了她母親家中的人。
And she ran the young woman and she told to [the] household of mother her according to the things these.
29 黎貝加有個哥哥名叫拉班，他一看見他妹妹鼻上的金環，和手腕上的金鐲，聽見他妹妹黎貝加說：「那人如此如此對我說。」
And [belonged] to Rebekah a brother and name his [was] Laban and he ran Laban to the man the outside towards to the spring.
30 拉班就跑去見那在郊外水泉旁的人，迨他來到那人那裏，見他仍站在靠近水泉的駱駝旁，
And it was - when saw the ring and the bracelets on [the] hands of sister his and just as heard he [the] words of Rebekah sister his saying thus he spoke to me the man and he went to the man and there! [he was] standing with the camels at the spring.
31 就對他說：「你這受上主祝福的人，請來我已預備好了房屋和餵駱駝的地方；你為什麼還站在郊外﹖」
And he said come O [one] blessed of Yahweh why? are you standing on the outside and I I have made clear the house and a place for the camels.
32 拉班便將那人領進家去，卸了駱駝，餵上草料和飼糧；又拿水給他和與他同來的人洗腳，
And he went the man the house towards and he unharnessed the camels and he gave straw and fodder to the camels and water to wash feet his and [the] feet of the men who [were] with him.
33 然後在他面前擺上飯，但僕人卻說：「在我未說明我的來意之前，我不吃飯。」拉班說：「你說罷! 」
(And it was put *Q(K)*) before him to eat and he said not I will eat until I have spoken words my and he said speak.
34 他說：「我是亞巴郎的僕人，
And he said [am] [the] servant of Abraham I.
35 上主厚厚地祝福了我的主人，使他十分富有，賜了他羊群、牛群、金銀、僕婢、駱駝和驢子。
And Yahweh he has blessed master my exceedingly and he has become great and he has given to him sheep and cattle and silver and gold and [male] servants and female servants and camels and donkeys.
36 我主人的妻子撒辣，在老年給我主人生了一個兒子，主人遂將所有的財產都給了他。
And she has borne Sarah [the] wife of master my a son to master my after old age her and he has given to him all that [belongs] to him.
37 我主人叫我起誓說：你決不要給我的兒子，由我現居地的客納罕人中，娶一個女子為妻。
And he made swear an oath me master my saying not (you must take *LA(bh)*) a wife for son my from [the] daughters of the Canaanite[s] whom I [am] dwelling in land its.
38 你該到我的父家和我的同族中，為我兒子娶妻。
If not to [the] house of father my you will go and to family my and you will take a wife for son my.
39 我對我主人說：假使女兒不願跟我來怎麼辦﹖
And I said to master my perhaps not she will go the woman after me.
40 他回答我說：我一向在上主面前行走，他必派遣自己的使者與你同行，使你此行必成功，能由我的同族，我的父家，為我兒子娶妻。
And he said to me Yahweh whom I have walked about before him he will send angel his with you and he will make successful journey your and you will take a wife for son my from family my and from [the] household of father my.
41 只要你去了我同族那裏，你就履行了對我起的誓；若是他們不給你，你對我起的誓，就與你無涉。
Then you will be free from oath my for you will go to family my and if not they will give [her] to you and you will be free from oath my.
42 今天我到了水泉那裏就說：上主，我主人亞巴郎的天主! 惟願你使我此行成功。
And I came this day to the spring and I said O Yahweh [the] God of master my Abraham if [are] there you please [are] making successful journey my which I [am] going on it.
43 看我現在站在泉旁，我對那個出來打水的少女說：請你讓我喝點你水罐裏的水罷!
Here! I [am] standing at [the] spring of the water and it will be the young woman who will come out to draw water and I will say to her give to drink me please a little of water from jar your.
44 如果她對我說：請喝，並且我還要打水給你的駱駝喝，她即是上主為我主人的兒子預定的妻子。
And she will say to me both you drink and also for camels your I will draw water she [be] the woman whom he has appointed Yahweh for [the] son of master my.
45 我心裏尚未說完這話，看，黎貝加肩著水罐來了，下到水泉那裏打水，我就對她說：請給我一點水喝!
I not yet I had finished to speak to heart my and there! Rebekah [was] coming out and jar her [was] on shoulder her and she went down the spring towards and she drew water and I said to her give a drink me please.
46 她急忙從肩上放下水罐說：你喝，並且我還要打水給你的駱駝喝。我喝了，同時她也給了駱駝水喝。
And she hurried and she put down jar her from on her and she said drink and also camels your I will give a drink to and I drank and also the camels she gave a drink.
47 我於是問她說：你是誰的女兒﹖她答說：我是米耳加給納曷爾生的兒子貝突耳的女兒。我就將鼻環戴在她鼻上，將手鐲帶在她手腕上。
And I asked her and I said daughter of whom? [are] you and she said [the] daughter of Bethuel [the] son of Nahor whom she bore to him Milcah and I put the ring on nose her and the bracelets on hands her.
48 然後我俯身朝拜了上主，讚頌了上主、我主人亞巴郎的天主，因為他引我走了正路，為我主人的兒子娶了我主人兄弟的孫女。
And I bowed low and I bowed down to Yahweh and I blessed Yahweh [the] God of master my Abraham who he had led me in [the] way of truth to take [the] daughter of [the] brother of master my for son his.
49 現在，如果你們願意以仁慈和忠信善待我主人，請告訴我；如果不肯，也請告訴我；我好決定行事。」
And now if [are] there you doing loyalty and faithfulness with master my tell to me and if not tell to me so I may turn to right or to left.
50 拉班和貝突耳答說：「這件事既是出於上主，我們不能對你說好說壞。
And he answered Laban and Bethuel and they said from Yahweh it has come out the matter not we are able to speak to you evil or good.
51 看黎貝加在你面前，你可帶她去做你主人兒子的妻子，如上主所說的。」
Here! Rebekah [is] before you take [her] and go so may she be a wife for [the] son of master your just as he has spoken Yahweh.
52 亞巴郎的僕人一聽見他們說出這話，就俯伏在地朝拜了上主；
And it was just as he heard [the] servant of Abraham words their and he bowed down [the] ground towards to Yahweh.
53 然後拿出金銀的珍飾和衣服來，送給了黎貝加，又送給了她的哥哥和她的母親一些寶貴禮品。
And he brought out the servant articles of silver and articles of gold and garments and he gave [them] to Rebekah and precious gifts he gave to brother her and to mother her.
54 這以後，他和同他前來的人才吃喝，並住了一宿。清早起來，他就說：「請讓我回到我主人那裏去! 」
And they ate and they drank he and the men who [were] with him and they stayed [the] night and they arose in the morning and he said send away me to master my.
55 黎貝加的哥哥和母親說：「讓少女同我們再住上幾天或十天，然後走罷! 」
And he said brother her and mother her let her remain the young woman with us days or ten (after *L(S)*) she will go.
56 他回答他們說：「你們不要挽留我，上主既使我此行成功，請你們讓我走，回到我主人那裏去。」
And he said to them may not you delay me and Yahweh he has made successful journey my send away me so let me go to master my.
57 他們說：「我們可叫少女來，問問她的意思。」
And they said let us summon the young woman and let us ask mouth her.
58 他們就將黎貝加叫來問她說：「你願意跟這人去嗎﹖」她答說：「願意。」
And they summoned Rebekah and they said to her ¿ will you go with the man this and she said I will go.
59 於是他們打發自己的姊妹黎貝加和她的乳母，同亞巴郎的僕人和與他同來的人一起走了。
And they sent away Rebekah sister their and suckling-nurse her and [the] servant of Abraham and men his.
60 他們祝福黎貝加說：「我們的姊妹，願你子孫無數! 願你的後裔，佔領仇敵的城門! 」
And they blessed Rebekah and they said to her O sister our you become thousands of ten thousand so may it take possession of offspring your [the] gate of [those who] hate it.
61 黎貝加便和自己的婢女們起來，上了駱駝，跟那人去了。僕人便帶著黎貝加起了程。
And she arose Rebekah and maids her and they rode on the camels and they went after the man and he took the servant Rebekah and he went.
62 那時依撒格剛來到拉海洛依井旁附近，他原住在乃革布地方。
And Isaac he came from going Beer Lahai Roi and he [was] dwelling in [the] land of the Negev.
63 傍晚時，依撒格出來在田間來回沉思，舉目一望，看見了一隊駱駝。
And he went out Isaac to meditate in the field to [the] turning of evening and he lifted up eyes his and he saw and there! camels [were] coming.
64 黎貝加舉目看見了依撒格，便由駱駝上下來，
And she lifted up Rebekah eyes her and she saw Isaac and she fell from on the camel.
65 問僕人說：「田間前來迎接我們的那人是誰﹖」僕人答說：「是我的主人。」黎貝加遂拿面紗蒙在臉上。
And she said to the servant who? [is] the man this who is walking in the field to meet us and he said the servant it [is] master my and she took the veil and she covered herself.
66 僕人就將自己所作的一切事，告訴了依撒格。
And he recounted the servant to Isaac all the things which he had done.
67 依撒格便領黎貝加進入自己母親撒辣的帳幕，娶了她為妻，很是愛她。依撒格自從母親死後，這才有了安慰。
And he brought her Isaac the tent of towards Sarah mother his and he took Rebekah and she became of him a wife and he loved her and he was comforted Isaac after mother his.
