Chakruok 24
1 Ibrahim noseti kendo hike noniangʼ, kendo Jehova Nyasaye nosegwedhe e yore duto.
And Abraham was old, and well advanced in years: and the LORD had blessed Abraham in all things.
2 Nowacho ne jatichne maduongʼ mane rito gige ode duto niya, “Ket lweti e kind ema.
And Abraham said to his eldest servant of his house, that ruled over all that he had, Put, I pray thee, thy 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 make thee swear by the LORD, the God of heaven, and the God of the earth, that thou shalt not take a wife for my son of the daughters of the Canaanites, among whom I dwell:
4 to ibiro dhi thurwa kendo ir wedena mondo iyudne wuoda Isaka dhako.”
But thou shalt go to my country, and to my kindred, and take 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, It may be the woman will not be willing to follow me to this land: must I needs bring thy son again to the land from which you came?
6 Ibrahim nowachone niya, “Nyaka ine ni ok idwoko wuoda kuno.
And Abraham said to him, Beware that thou bring not my son there again.
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 God of heaven, who took me from my father’s house, and from the land of my kindred, and who spoke to me, and who swore to me, saying, To thy seed will I give this land; he shall send his angel before thee, and thou shalt take a wife for my son from there.
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 will not be willing to follow thee, then thou shalt be clear from this my oath: only bring 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 Abraham his master, and swore to him concerning that 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 the camels of his master, and departed; for all the goods of his master were in his hands: and he arose, and went to Mesopotamia, to the city of Nahor.
11 Noketo ngamia onindo piny machiegni gi soko but dala; ne en kar angʼich welo, seche mamon dhi umbo.
And he made his camels to kneel down outside the city by a well of water at the time of the evening, the time when women go out 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 Abraham, I pray thee, prosper me this day, and show kindness to my master Abraham.
13 Ne, koro eri achungo e bath sokoni, kama nyi dalani biro umboe pi.
Behold, I stand here by the well of water; and the daughters of the men of the city come out 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 let it come to pass, that the damsel to whom I shall say, Let down thy pitcher, I pray thee, that I may drink; and she shall say, Drink, and I will water thy camels also: let the same be she that thou hast appointed for thy servant Isaac; and by that shall I know that thou hast shown kindness to my master.
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 finished speaking, that, behold, Rebekah came out, who was born to Bethuel, son of Milcah, the wife of Nahor, Abraham’s brother, with her pitcher upon her shoulder.
16 Nyakoni ne en jaber man-gi chia, mapok ongʼeyo dichwo! Nolor e soko, motwomo pi eka odwogo.
And the damsel was very fair to look upon, a virgin, neither had any man known her: and she went down to the well, and filled her pitcher, and came up.
17 Jatich Ibrahim noringo kadhi romone mi owachone niya, “Akwayi, yie imiyae pi mondo amodhi.”
And the servant ran to meet her, and said, Let me, I pray thee, drink a little water from thy pitcher.
18 Eka nowacho niya, “Modhi, ruodha” kendo mapiyo nono noloro dapi e lwete momiye pi omodho.
And she said, Drink, my lord: and she hasted, and let down her pitcher upon her hand, and gave him a drink.
19 Bangʼ kane osemiye pi modho, nowachone niya, “Abiro dhi umbo pi ne ngamia magi bende, nyaka gitiek modho.”
And when she had finished giving him drink, she said, I will draw water for thy camels also, till they have finished drinking.
20 Omiyo noloko pi mapiyo nono e besen, moringo odok e soko omo pi kendo noomo moromo ngamiagego duto.
And she hasted, and emptied her pitcher into the trough, and ran again to the well to draw water, and drew for all his camels.
21 Jatich Ibrahim nolingʼ thi ma ok owuoyo, karange lingʼ-lingʼ mondo one ane ka Jehova Nyasaye osegwedho wuodhe.
And the man wondering at her held his peace, to know whether the LORD had made his journey 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, as the camels had finished drinking, that the man took a golden earring of half a shekel weight, and two bracelets for her wrists of ten shekels weight of gold;
23 Eka nopenje niya, “In nyar ngʼa? Yie inyisa bende dwayudie kar nindo dalau?”
And said, Whose daughter art thou? tell me, I pray thee: is there room in thy father’s house for us to lodge in?
24 Nodwoke niya, “An nyar Bethuel, ma wuod Nahor gi Milka.”
And she said to him, I am the daughter of Bethuel the son of Milcah, whom she bore to Nahor.
25 Kendo nomedo wacho niya, “Wan kod lum kod chiemb ngamia mangʼeny kaachiel gi ot ma unyalo nindoe.”
She said moreover to him, We have both straw and feed enough, and room to lodge in.
26 Ngʼatno nopodho auma molamo Jehova Nyasaye,
And the man bowed his head, and 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 he said, Blessed be the LORD God of my master Abraham, who hath not left my master destitute of his mercy and his truth: I being in the way, the LORD led me to the house of my master’s brethren.
28 Nyakono noringo modhi onyiso joodgi duto gik mane osetimorene.
And the damsel ran, and told these things to her mother’s house.
29 Rebeka ne nigi owadgi miluongo ni Laban, kendo Laban noringo matek ka dhi ir ngʼatno mane ni e sokono.
And Rebekah had a brother, and his name was Laban: and Laban ran out to 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 earring and bracelets upon his sister’s wrists, and when he heard the words of Rebekah his sister, saying, Thus spoke the man to me; that he came to the man; and, behold, 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, Come in, thou blessed of the LORD; why standest thou outside? for I have prepared the house, and room 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 came into the house: and he ungirded his camels, and gave straw and feed for the camels, and water to wash his feet, and the men’s feet 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 there was set food before him 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 Abraham’s servant.
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 hath blessed my master greatly; and he is become great: and he hath given him flocks, and herds, and silver, and gold, and male and female servants, and camels, and donkeys.
36 Sara, jaod ruodha osenywolone wuowi ka hike oniangʼ kendo ruodha osemiyo wuodeno mwandune duto.
And Sarah my master’s wife bore a son to my master when she was old: and to him hath he given all that he hath.
37 Ruodha nomiyo akwongʼora kowacho ni, ‘Kik iyudne wuoda nyako kuom nyi Kanaan ma adakie lopgini,
And my master made me swear, saying, Thou shalt not take a wife for my son of the daughters of the Canaanites, in whose land I dwell:
38 to dhi e dala wuora kendo ir anywolana kendo iyudne nyako ne wuoda.’
But thou shalt go to my father’s house, and to my kindred, and take 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, It may be the woman will not follow 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, before whom I walk, will send his angel with thee, and prosper thy way; and thou shalt take a wife for my son of my kindred, and of my father’s house:
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 shalt thou be clear from this my oath, when thou comest to my kindred; and if they give not thee one, thou shalt be clear from my oath.
42 “Kane abiro e soko kawuono, nawacho ni, ‘Yaye Jehova Nyasaye, Nyasach ruodha Ibrahim, kalongʼoni, to gwedh wuodhani.
And I came this day to the well, and said, O LORD God of my master Abraham, if now thou dost prosper my way which I go:
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 it shall come to pass, that when the virgin cometh forth to draw water, and I say to her, Give me, I pray thee, a little water of thy pitcher to drink;
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 saith to me, Both drink thou, and I will also draw for thy camels: let the same be the woman whom the LORD hath appointed for my master’s son.
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 before I had finished speaking in my heart, behold, Rebekah came forth with her pitcher on her shoulder; and she went down to the well, and drew water: and I said to her, Let me drink, I pray thee.
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 made haste, and let down her pitcher from her shoulder, and said, Drink, and I will water thy camels also: so I drank, and she watered the camels also.
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 art thou? And she said, The daughter of Bethuel, Nahor’s son, whom Milcah bore to him: and I put the earring upon her face, and the bracelets upon her wrists.
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 I bowed my head, and worshipped the LORD, and blessed the LORD God of my master Abraham, who had led me in the right way to take my master’s brother’s daughter for his son.
49 Koro nyisauru kuyie timo ngʼwono kod adieri ne ruodha; to ka ok kamano to nyisa mondo mi angʼe kuma achomo.”
And now if you will deal kindly and truly with my master, 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.
Then Laban and Bethuel answered and said, The thing proceedeth from the LORD: we cannot speak to thee bad or good.
51 Rebeka eri; kawe mondo udhi, kendo obed chi wuod ruodhi, mana kaka Jehova Nyasaye osechiko.”
Behold, Rebekah is before thee, take her, and go, and let her be thy master’s son’s wife, as the LORD hath spoken.
52 Kane jatich Ibrahim owinjo gima negiwacho, nopodho auma e nyim Jehova Nyasaye.
And it came to pass, that, when Abraham’s servant heard their words, he worshipped the LORD, bowing himself 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 brought forth jewels of silver, and jewels of gold, and raiment, and gave them to Rebekah: he gave also to her brother and to her mother precious things.
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 they ate and drank, he and the men that were with him, and tarried all night; and they rose in the morning, and he said, Send me away 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 brother and her mother said, Let the damsel abide with us a few days, at the least ten; after that she shall go.
56 To jatich Ibrahim nowachonegi niya, “Kik ugengʼna, to weyauru adog ir ruodha, nikech Jehova Nyasaye osegwedho wuodha.”
And he said to them, Hinder me not, seeing the LORD hath prospered my way; send me away that I may go to my master.
57 Eka negiwacho niya, “We waluong nyako mondo wapenje kuom wachni.”
And they said, We will 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 Rebekah, and said to her, Wilt thou 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.
And they sent away Rebekah their sister, and her nurse, and Abraham’s servant, and his men.
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 Rebekah, and said to her, Thou art our sister, be thou the mother of thousands of millions, and let thy seed possess the gate of those who hate them.
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 Rebekah arose, and her damsels, and they rode upon the camels, and followed the man: and the servant took Rebekah, and went his way.
62 Noyudo ka koro Isaka oa Beer-Lahai-Roi, nikech noyudo odak Negev.
And Isaac came from the way of the well Lahairoi; for he dwelt in the south country.
63 Ka noyudo owuotho e pap godhiambo chiengʼ moro ka owuoyo gi Nyasaye, kendo kane orango malo, noneno ngamia kabiro.
And Isaac went out to meditate in the field at evening: and he lifted up his eyes, and saw, and, behold, the camels were coming.
64 Rebeka bende norango malo moneno Isaka. Nolor piny koa ewi ngamia
And Rebekah lifted up her eyes, and when she saw Isaac, she got off 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.
For she had said to the servant, What man is this that walketh in the field to meet us? And the servant had said, It is my master: therefore she took a veil, and covered herself.
66 Eka jatich nonyiso Isaka gik moko duto mane osetimo.
And the servant told Isaac all things 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 brought her into his mother Sarah’s tent, and took Rebekah, and she became his wife; and he loved her: and Isaac was comforted after his mother’s death.
