Chakruok 24
1 Ibrahim noseti kendo hike noniangʼ, kendo Jehova Nyasaye nosegwedhe e yore duto.
And Abraam was old, advanced in days, and the Lord blessed Abraam in all things.
2 Nowacho ne jatichne maduongʼ mane rito gige ode duto niya, “Ket lweti e kind ema.
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 Adwaro mondo ikwongʼrina gi nying Jehova Nyasaye, Nyasach polo kod piny ni ok ibi yudone wuoda dhako koa kuom nyi Kanaan ma an jadak e kindgini,
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 to ibiro dhi thurwa kendo ir wedena mondo iyudne wuoda Isaka dhako.”
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 Jatichne nopenje niya, “Datim angʼo ka nyakono ok oyie biro koda e pinyni? Dadwok wuodi thuru kumane iayeno?”
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 Ibrahim nowachone niya, “Nyaka ine ni ok idwoko wuoda kuno.
And Abraam said to him, Take heed to yourself that you carry not my son back there.
7 Jehova Nyasaye, ma Nyasach polo mane ogola thurwa e dala wuora kendo nowuoyo koda kotimo koda singruok ni, ‘To ne nyikwayi nami pinyni’ kendo en owuon ema obiro oro malaikane nyimi mondo mi iyudne wuoda dhako kuno.
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 To ka nyakono ok dwar biro kodi, eka inibed thuolo kuom singruok ma atimo kodini. Ne mana ni ok idwoko wuoda kuno.”
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 Omiyo jatijeno noketo lwete e kind em ruodhe Ibrahim kendo notimo singruok kode e wachni.
And the servant put his hand under the thigh of his master Abraam, and swore to him concerning this matter.
10 Eka jatijeno nokawo ngamia apar mag ruodhe, kod chiwo duto mabeyo mochako wuoth kodhi Aram-Naharaim (tiende ni, Mesopotamia) koluwo yo madhi dala matin mar Nahor.
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 Noketo ngamia onindo piny machiegni gi soko but dala; ne en kar angʼich welo, seche mamon dhi umbo.
And he rested his camels without the city by the well of water towards evening, when damsels go forth to draw water.
12 Eka nolemo niya, “Yaye Jehova Nyasaye Nyasach ruodha Ibrahim, gwedha kawuono, kendo nyis ngʼwononi ne ruodha Ibrahim.
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 Ne, koro eri achungo e bath sokoni, kama nyi dalani biro umboe pi.
Behold! I stand by the well of water, and the daughters of them that inhabit the city come forth to draw water.
14 Mad timreni ka awachone nyako moro ni, ‘Asayi, yie dapigi piny mondo mi amodhie,’ kendo ka dowachna ni, ‘modhi kendo abiro chiwo pi ni ngamia-gi duto’ to en ema mondo obed nyako ma iseyierone Isaka jatichni. Kamano anangʼe ni isenyiso ngʼwononi ne ruodha.”
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 Kane pok otieko lemo, Rebeka notucho kotingʼo dapige e goke. Ne en nyar Bethuel wuod Milka, mane chi Nahor owadgi Ibrahim.
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 Nyakoni ne en jaber man-gi chia, mapok ongʼeyo dichwo! Nolor e soko, motwomo pi eka odwogo.
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 Jatich Ibrahim noringo kadhi romone mi owachone niya, “Akwayi, yie imiyae pi mondo amodhi.”
And the servant ran up to meet her, and said, Give me a little water to drink out of your pitcher;
18 Eka nowacho niya, “Modhi, ruodha” kendo mapiyo nono noloro dapi e lwete momiye pi omodho.
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 Bangʼ kane osemiye pi modho, nowachone niya, “Abiro dhi umbo pi ne ngamia magi bende, nyaka gitiek modho.”
And she said, I will also draw water for your camels, till they shall all have drunk.
20 Omiyo noloko pi mapiyo nono e besen, moringo odok e soko omo pi kendo noomo moromo ngamiagego duto.
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 Jatich Ibrahim nolingʼ thi ma ok owuoyo, karange lingʼ-lingʼ mondo one ane ka Jehova Nyasaye osegwedho wuodhe.
And the man took great notice of her, and remained silent to know whether the Lord had made his way prosperous or not.
22 Kane ngamia-go osetieko modho, ngʼatno nogolo tere mar um mar dhahabu ma pekne romo achiel kuom apar mar kilo kod bangli ariyo mag dhahabu mapekgi oromo nus kilo.
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 Eka nopenje niya, “In nyar ngʼa? Yie inyisa bende dwayudie kar nindo dalau?”
And he asked her, and said, Whose daughter are you? Tell me if there is room for us to lodge with your father.
24 Nodwoke niya, “An nyar Bethuel, ma wuod Nahor gi Milka.”
And she said to him, I am the daughter of Bathuel the son of Melcha, whom she bore to Nachor.
25 Kendo nomedo wacho niya, “Wan kod lum kod chiemb ngamia mangʼeny kaachiel gi ot ma unyalo nindoe.”
And she said to him, We have both straw and much provender, and a place for resting.
26 Ngʼatno nopodho auma molamo Jehova Nyasaye,
And the man being well pleased, worshipped the Lord,
27 kowacho niya, “Duongʼ odogne Jehova Nyasaye, ma Nyasach ruodha Ibrahim, ma ok oseweyo nyiso adierane gi ngʼwonone ne ruodha. To an, Jehova Nyasaye osetelona e wuoth nyaka e od wede ruodha.”
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 Nyakono noringo modhi onyiso joodgi duto gik mane osetimorene.
And the damsel ran and reported to the house of her mother according to these words.
29 Rebeka ne nigi owadgi miluongo ni Laban, kendo Laban noringo matek ka dhi ir ngʼatno mane ni e sokono.
And Rebecca had a brother whose name was Laban; and Laban ran out to meet the man, to the well.
30 Kane Laban oseneno tere e um nyamin kod bangli ka ni e lwet nyamin kendo kane owinjo gima Rebeka wacho ni ngʼatno onyise, Laban nodhi ir ngʼatno moyude ka ochungʼ e bath ngamia-go machiegni gi soko.
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 Laban nowachone niya, “Bi, in ngʼama Jehova Nyasaye ogwedho. Angʼo ma omiyo ichungʼ oko ka? Aseikoni ot kendo nitie kar ngamia bende.”
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 Kuom mano ngʼatno nodonjo e ot kendo misike mane ngamia otingʼo nogol kuomgi. Nomigi lum kod chiembgi mi nokelo pi ne jatich Ibrahim kod joge mondo olwokgo tiendegi.
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 Eka nokel chiemo ne jatich Ibrahim to nowachonegi niya, “Ok abi chiemo kapok anyisou gima onego awachnu.” Laban nowachone niya, “Kara nyiswa.”
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 Kuom mano nowacho niya, “An jatich Ibrahim.
And he said, I am a servant of Abraam;
35 Jehova Nyasaye osegwedho ruodha ahinya kendo osebedo jamoko. Osemiye rombe kod dhok, fedha kod dhahabu, jotich machwo kod mamon gi ngamia kod punde.
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 Sara, jaod ruodha osenywolone wuowi ka hike oniangʼ kendo ruodha osemiyo wuodeno mwandune duto.
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 Ruodha nomiyo akwongʼora kowacho ni, ‘Kik iyudne wuoda nyako kuom nyi Kanaan ma adakie lopgini,
And my master caused me to swear, saying, You shall not take a wife to my son of the daughters of the Chananites, among whom I sojourn in their land.
38 to dhi e dala wuora kendo ir anywolana kendo iyudne nyako ne wuoda.’
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 “Eka ne apenjo ruodha ni, ‘Datim nangʼo ka nyakono ok oyie biro koda?’
And I said to my master, Haply the woman will not go with me.
40 “Nodwoke ni, ‘Jehova Nyasaye, ma asebedo ka awuotho e nyime biro ori gi malaikane kendo obiro gwedho wuodhi, mondo mi iyudne wuoda nyako moa kuom anywolana kendo e od wuora.
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 Ka idhi michopo ir jowa to singruogni ok nomaki, to bende ka gitamore miyi nyakono mondo ibigo, to kwongʼruokni ok nobed e wiyi.’
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 “Kane abiro e soko kawuono, nawacho ni, ‘Yaye Jehova Nyasaye, Nyasach ruodha Ibrahim, kalongʼoni, to gwedh wuodhani.
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 Ne, koro eri achungo e bath sokoni, ka jatich ma nyako obiro omo pi kendo awachone niya, “Yaye miyae pi amodhi,”
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 kendo ka owachona niya, “Modhi, kendo abiro omo pi nyaka ne ngamia-gi bende,” to en ema mondo obed nyako ma Jehova Nyasaye oseyiero ne wuod ruodha.’
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 “Kane pok atieko lemo e chunya, Rebeka nochopo ka otingʼo dapi e goke. Nolor e soko mondo otuom pi kendo nawachone ni, ‘Yaye miyae pi amodhi.’
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 “Piyo piyo nono noyieyo pi piny mi owacho ni, ‘Modhi kendo abiro miyo ngamia magi bende pi.’ Kuom mano namodho, kendo ngamia bende nomodho.
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 “Napenje ni, ‘In nyar ngʼa?’ “En to nodwoka ni, ‘An nyar Bethuel, wuod Nahor gi Milka.’ “Eka ne aketo tere e ume gi bangli e lwete,
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 kendo napodho auma kalamo Jehova Nyasaye. Namiyo Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasach ruodha Ibrahim duongʼ, mane telona e yo maber mayudo nyako ma nyakwar owad gi ruodha ne wuode.
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 Koro nyisauru kuyie timo ngʼwono kod adieri ne ruodha; to ka ok kamano to nyisa mondo mi angʼe kuma achomo.”
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 Laban kod Bethuel nodwoke niya, “Ma-oa kuom Jehova Nyasaye ok wanyal wachoni gimoro amora.
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 Rebeka eri; kawe mondo udhi, kendo obed chi wuod ruodhi, mana kaka Jehova Nyasaye osechiko.”
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 Kane jatich Ibrahim owinjo gima negiwacho, nopodho auma e nyim Jehova Nyasaye.
And it came to pass when the servant of Abraam heard these words, he bowed himself to the Lord down to the earth.
53 Eka jatich Ibrahim nogolo gik moko mag dhahabu kod mag fedha kod lewni mi nomiyogi Rebeka; kendo nochiwo mich ma nengogi tek ne owadgi kod min-gi.
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 Eka jatich Ibrahim kod jogo mane ni kode nochiemo kendo ometho kendo ne ginindo kanyo. Kane gichiewo kinyne gokinyi nowacho niya, “Weuru adog ir ruodha.”
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 To owad gi Rebeka kod min-gi nodwoke niya, “We nyakoni odongʼ kodwa kuom ndalo apar kata moloyo kanyo; eka udhi.”
And her brethren and her mother said, Let the virgin remain with us about ten days, and after that she shall depart.
56 To jatich Ibrahim nowachonegi niya, “Kik ugengʼna, to weyauru adog ir ruodha, nikech Jehova Nyasaye osegwedho wuodha.”
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 Eka negiwacho niya, “We waluong nyako mondo wapenje kuom wachni.”
And they said, Let us call the damsel, and enquire at her mouth.
58 Kuom mano negiluongo Rebeka kendo gipenje niya, “Inyalo dhi gi ngʼatni?” Rebeka nodwokogi niya, “Abiro dhi.”
And they called Rebecca, and said to her, Will you go with this man? and she said, I will go.
59 Kuom mano ne giweyo Rebeka odhi kaachiel gi nyako mane opire kod jatich Ibrahim gi joge.
So they sent forth Rebecca their sister, and her goods, and the servant of Abraam, and his attendants.
60 Kendo negigwedho Rebeka kagiwachone niya, “Nyathiwa, bed min ji gana gi gana; mad nyikwayi medre ma kaw mier madongo mag wasikgi.”
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 Eka Rebeka kod jotije ma nyiri noikore moidho ngamia-gi mi gidhi gi jatich Ibrahim. Kuom mano jatich Ibrahim nokawo Rebeka kendo gidhi.
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 Noyudo ka koro Isaka oa Beer-Lahai-Roi, nikech noyudo odak Negev.
And Isaac went through the wilderness to the well of the vision, and he lived in the land toward the south.
63 Ka noyudo owuotho e pap godhiambo chiengʼ moro ka owuoyo gi Nyasaye, kendo kane orango malo, noneno ngamia kabiro.
And Isaac went forth into the plain toward evening to meditate; and having lifted up his eyes, he saw camels coming.
64 Rebeka bende norango malo moneno Isaka. Nolor piny koa ewi ngamia
And Rebecca lifted up her eyes, and saw Isaac; and she alighted briskly from the camel,
65 kendo nopenjo jatich Ibrahim niya, “Macha en ngʼa manie pap mabiro romonwa cha?” Jatich nodwoke niya, “En ruodha.” Eka nokawo nanga ma oumogo wangʼe.
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 Eka jatich nonyiso Isaka gik moko duto mane osetimo.
And the servant told Isaac all that he had done.
67 Isaka notero Rebeka e hemb Sara min-gi, kendo Isaka nokendo Rebeka. Kuom mano Rebeka nobedo chi Isaka, kendo Isaka nohero Rebeka gihera mamalo; kendo Isaka ne ok obedo gi parruok bangʼ tho min mare.
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.
