< Genesis 24 >

1 By now Abraham was old and well along in years, and the LORD had blessed him in every way.
Ita, lakayen ni Abraham, lakay unayen, ket binendisionan ni Yahweh ni Abraham iti amin a banbanag.
2 So Abraham instructed the chief servant of his household, who managed all he owned, “Place your hand under my thigh,
Kinuna ni Abraham iti adipenna a kalakayan iti pagtaenganna ken isu ti mangimatmaton iti amin nga adda kenni Abraham, ''Ikabilmo ta imam iti baet dagiti luppok
3 and I will have you swear by the LORD, the God of heaven and the God of earth, that you will not take a wife for my son from the daughters of the Canaanites among whom I am dwelling,
ket pagsapataenka kenni Yahweh, a Dios ti langit ken Dios ti daga, a saankanto a mangala iti asawa para iti anakko manipud kadagiti annak dagiti taga-Canaan, a nangaramidak iti pagtaengak.
4 but will go to my country and my kindred to take a wife for my son Isaac.”
Ngem mapankanto iti pagiliak, ken kadagiti kabagiak, ket mangalaka iti asawa para iti anakko a ni Isaac.”
5 The servant asked him, “What if the woman is unwilling to follow me to this land? Shall I then take your son back to the land from which you came?”
Kinuna ti adipen kenkuana, “Kasano no saan a kayat ti babai a sumurot kaniak iti daytoy a daga? Masapul kadi nga umayko ikuyog ti anakmo ket isublik iti daga a naggapuam?
6 Abraham replied, “Make sure that you do not take my son back there.
Kinuna ni Abraham kenkuana, “Siguradoem a saanmo nga isubli ti anakko sadiay!
7 The LORD, the God of heaven, who brought me from my father’s house and my native land, who spoke to me and promised me on oath, saying, ‘To your offspring I will give this land’—He will send His angel before you so that you can take a wife for my son from there.
Ni Yahweh a Dios ti langit, a nangala kaniak manipud iti balay ni amak ken manipud iti daga dagiti kabagiak, ken nagkari kaniak babaen iti napasnek a sapata a kunana, 'Itedkonto kadagiti kaputotam daytoy a daga,' ibaonnanto ti anghelna nga umuna kenka, ket mangalakanto iti asawaen ti anakko manipud sadiay.
8 And if the woman is unwilling to follow you, then you are released from this oath of mine. Only do not take my son back there.”
Ngem no saan a kayat ti babai a sumurot kenka, mawayawayaankanto ngarud manipud iti daytoy a panagsapatam kaniak. Dayta laeng ta saan a mabalin nga isublim ti annakko sadiay.”
9 So the servant placed his hand under the thigh of his master Abraham and swore an oath to him concerning this matter.
Isu nga inkabil ti adipen ti imana iti baet ti luppo ni Abraham nga apona, ket nagsapata kenkuana maipanggep iti daytoy a banag.
10 Then the servant took ten of his master’s camels and departed with all manner of good things from his master in hand. And he set out for Nahor’s hometown in Aram-naharaim.
Nangala ti adipen iti sangapulo a kamelio ti apona ket pimmanaw. Nangala pay isuna kadagiti amin a kita dagiti sagut manipud iti apona. Pimmanaw isuna ket napan iti rehion ti Aram Naharaim, iti siudad ni Nahor.
11 As evening approached, he made the camels kneel down near the well outside the town at the time when the women went out to draw water.
Pinaginanana dagiti kamelio iti ruar ti siudad iti abay ti bubon. Rabii idin, ti tiempo a panagruruar dagiti babbai a mapan agsakdo.
12 “O LORD, God of my master Abraham,” he prayed, “please grant me success today, and show kindness to my master Abraham.
Ket kinunana, “Yahweh, Dios ti apok a ni Abraham, ipaaymo koma kaniak ti panagballigi iti daytoy nga aldaw ken ipakitam ti napudno a katulagam kenni apok a ni Abraham.
13 Here I am, standing beside the spring, and the daughters of the townspeople are coming out to draw water.
Kitaem, addaak ditoy nga agtaktakder iti abay ti ubbog, ket dagiti babbai a putot dagiti lallaki iti daytoy a siudad ket rummuarda nga umay agsakdo.
14 Now may it happen that the girl to whom I say, ‘Please let down your jar that I may drink,’ and who responds, ‘Drink, and I will water your camels as well’—let her be the one You have appointed for Your servant Isaac. By this I will know that You have shown kindness to my master.”
Kastoy koma ngarud iti mapasamak. No ibagak iti maysa a balasang, 'Pangngaasim ta ibabam ta karambam tapno makiinumak,' ket kunaenna kaniak, 'Uminomka, ken painumek met dagiti kameliom,' ket isunanto ti intudingmo para iti adipenmo a ni Isaac. Babaen iti daytoy a maammoak nga impakitam ti kinapudnom iti tulagmo iti apok.”
15 Before the servant had finished praying, Rebekah came out with her jar on her shoulder. She was the daughter of Bethuel son of Milcah, the wife of Abraham’s brother Nahor.
Napasamak a sakbay a nalpasna ti panagsaritana, adtoy met ni Rebecca a rimmuar nga addaan iti karamba iti abagana. Ni Rebecca ket putot ni Betuel nga anak a lalaki ni Milca nga asawa ni Nahor a kabsat a lalaki ni Abraham.
16 Now the girl was very beautiful, a virgin who had not had relations with any man. She went down to the spring, filled her jar, and came up again.
Nakapinpintas unay ti balasang ken maysa isuna a birhen. Awan pay iti lalaki a nakikaidda kenkuana. Simmalog isuna iti ubbog ket pinunnona ti karambana, ket simmang-at.
17 So the servant ran to meet her and said, “Please let me have a little water from your jar.”
Ket nagtaray ti adipen tapno sabtenna isuna ket kinunana, “Pangngaasim ta ikkannak iti bassit a mainum manipud dita karambam.”
18 “Drink, my lord,” she replied, and she quickly lowered her jar to her hands and gave him a drink.
Kinunana, Uminomka, apok,” ket dagdagus nga imbabana ti karamba kadagiti imana, ket pinainomna.
19 After she had given him a drink, she said, “I will also draw water for your camels, until they have had enough to drink.”
Idi nalpasna isuna a pinainom, kinunana, “Agsakdoakto met iti para kadagiti kameliom, agingga a malpasda nga uminom.”
20 And she quickly emptied her jar into the trough and ran back to the well to draw water, until she had drawn water for all his camels.
Isu a nagdardaras isuna ket imbukbokna ti nagyan iti karambana iti paginuman dagiti ayup, ket nagtaray manen a nagsubli idiay bubon tapno agsakdo, ket insakdoanna amin dagiti kamelio ti adipen.
21 Meanwhile, the man watched her silently to see whether or not the LORD had made his journey a success.
Siuulimek a binuybuya isuna ti lalaki tapno makitana no pinagballigi ni Yahweh ti panagdaliasatna wenno saan.
22 And after the camels had finished drinking, he took out a gold ring weighing a beka, and two gold bracelets for her wrists weighing ten shekels.
Idi nalpas nga imminum dagiti kamelio, nangiruar ti lalaki iti balitok nga aritos ti agong nga agtimbang iti kagudua ti siklo, ken dua a pulseras a para kadagiti takyagna nga agdagsen iti sangapulo a siklo,
23 “Whose daughter are you?” he asked. “Please tell me, is there room in your father’s house for us to spend the night?”
ken sinaludsodna, “Siasino ti akin anak kenka? Pangngaasim ta ibagam kaniak, adda kadi siled idiay balay ni amam para kadakami a pagpalabasanmi iti rabii?”
24 She replied, “I am the daughter of Bethuel, the son that Milcah bore to Nahor.”
Kinuna ti balasang kenkuana, “Siak ket anak ni Betuel nga anak a lalaki ni Milca, nga inyanakna kenni Nahor.”
25 Then she added, “We have plenty of straw and feed, as well as a place for you to spend the night.”
Kinunana pay kenkuana, “Addaankami iti adu a garami ken makan, ken kasta met iti siled a para kenka a pagpalabasam ti rabii.”
26 Then the man bowed down and worshiped the LORD,
Ket nagkurno ti lalaki ken indaydayawna ni Yahweh.
27 saying, “Blessed be the LORD, the God of my master Abraham, who has not withheld His kindness and faithfulness from my master. As for me, the LORD has led me on the journey to the house of my master’s relatives.”
Kinunana, “Madaydayaw ni Yahweh a Dios ti amongko a ni Abraham, saanna a tinallikudan ti kinapudnona iti tulagna ken ti kinamapagtalkanna iti amongko. Iti biangko met, inturongnak a dagus ni Yahweh iti balay dagiti kabagian ti amongko.”
28 The girl ran and told her mother’s household about these things.
Kalpasanna, nagtaray ti balasang ket napanna imbaga iti sangkabalayan ni nanangna ti maipanggep kadagitoy amin a banbanag.
29 Now Rebekah had a brother named Laban, and he rushed out to the man at the spring.
Ita, addaan ni Rebecca iti kabsat a lalaki, ket Laban ti naganna. Nagtaray ni Laban iti ruar, iti ayan ti lalaki nga adda iti kalsada iti abay ti ubbog.
30 As soon as he saw the ring, and the bracelets on his sister’s wrists, and heard Rebekah’s words, “The man said this to me,” he went and found the man standing by the camels near the spring.
Idi nakitana ti aritos ti agong ken dagiti pulseras iti takiag ti kabsatna, ken idi nangngeganna dagiti sinao ni Rebecca a kabsatna, “Daytoy ti imbaga ti lalaki kaniak,” napan isuna iti ayan ti lalaki, ket adda sadiay nga agtaktakder iti abay dagiti kamelio iti ayan ti ubbog.
31 “Come, you who are blessed by the LORD,” said Laban. “Why are you standing out here? I have prepared the house and a place for the camels.”
Ket kinuna ni Laban, “Umayka, sika a binendisionan ni Yahweh. Apay nga agtaktakderka dita ruar? Insaganak ti balay ken ti disso a para kadagiti kamelio.”
32 So the man came to the house, and the camels were unloaded. Straw and feed were brought to the camels, and water to wash his feet and the feet of his companions.
Isu a napan ti lalaki iti balay ket inikkatna dagiti awit dagiti kamelio. Ket naikkan dagiti kamelio ti garami ken makan, ket naipaayan met iti danum a pangbuggona kadagiti sakana kasta met dagiti saka dagiti lallaki a kakaduana.
33 Then a meal was set before the man, but he said, “I will not eat until I have told you what I came to say.” So Laban said, “Please speak.”
Nangisaganada iti taraon iti sagoananna tapno mangan, ngem kinunana, “Saanak a mangan agingga a maibagak no ania ti masapul nga ibagak.” Isu a kinuna ni Laban, “Agsaoka”
34 “I am Abraham’s servant,” he replied.
Kinunana, “Adipennak ni Abraham.
35 “The LORD has greatly blessed my master, and he has become rich. He has given him sheep and cattle, silver and gold, menservants and maidservants, camels and donkeys.
Binendisionan ni Yahweh ti apok iti kasta unay ket nagbalin a naindaklan. Inikkanna isuna kadagiti karnero ken kadagiti kalding, pirak ken balitok, kadagiti lallaki nga adipen ken kadagiti babbai nga adipen, ken kadagiti kamelio ken kadagiti asno.
36 My master’s wife Sarah has borne him a son in her old age, and my master has given him everything he owns.
Ni Sarah nga asawa ti apok ket nangipasngay iti maysa a lalaki kenni amongko idi baketen isuna, ket intedna amin a banbanag a sanikuana kenkuana.
37 My master made me swear an oath and said, ‘You shall not take a wife for my son from the daughters of the Canaanites in whose land I dwell,
Pinagsapatanak ti apok, a kinunana, 'Masapul a saanka a mangala iti asawa a para iti anakko manipud kadagiti annak a babbai dagiti taga-Canaan, daga a nangaramidak iti pagtaengak.
38 but you shall go to my father’s house and to my kindred to take a wife for my son.’
Ngem ketdi, masapul a mapanka iti pamilia ni tatangko, ken kadagiti kabagiak, ket mangalaka iti asawaen ti anakko.'
39 Then I asked my master, ‘What if the woman will not come back with me?’
Kinunak iti apok, 'Nalabit a saanto a sumurot kaniak ti babai.
40 And he told me, ‘The LORD, before whom I have walked, will send His angel with you and make your journey a success, so that you may take a wife for my son from my kindred and from my father’s house.
Ngem kinunana kaniak, 'Ni Yahweh, a pagtultulnogak, ket ibaonnanto ti anghelna a kumuyog kenka ket pagballigiennanto ti dalanmo, tapno iti kasta ket mangalaka iti asawaen ti anakko manipud kadagiti kabagiak ken manipud iti linya ti pamilia ni tatangko.
41 And when you go to my kindred, if they refuse to give her to you, then you will be released from my oath.’
Ngem mawayawayaankanto manipud iti sinapataam kaniak no mapanka kadagiti kabagiak ket saanda nga ited isuna kenka. Ket mawayawayaankanto manipud iti sinapataam kaniak.'
42 So when I came to the spring today, I prayed: O LORD, God of my master Abraham, if only You would make my journey a success!
Simmangpetak ngarud ita nga aldaw iti ayan ti ubbog, ket kinunak, 'O Yahweh, Dios ti apok a ni Abraham, pangngaasim, no pudno a panggepmo a pagballigien ti panagdaliasatko—
43 Here I am, standing beside this spring. Now if a maiden comes out to draw water and I say to her, ‘Please let me drink a little water from your jar,’
addaak ditoy nga agtaktakder iti abay ti ubbog—Ti koma balasang nga umay agsakdo, iti babai a pangibagaak, “Pangngaasim ta ikkannak iti bassit a danum nga inumek manipud dita karambam,”
44 and she replies, ‘Drink, and I will draw water for your camels as well,’ may she be the woman the LORD has appointed for my master’s son.
ti babai a mangibaga kaniak, “Uminomka, ket sumakdoakto met para kadagiti kameliom”— ket isuna ti babai nga inkapinili, Yahweh, para iti putot ti apok.'
45 And before I had finished praying in my heart, there was Rebekah coming out with her jar on her shoulder, and she went down to the spring and drew water. So I said to her, ‘Please give me a drink.’
Sakbay pay a nalpasak nga agsarita iti pusok, pagammoan, simmangpet ni Rebecca nga awitna ti karambana iti abagana ket simmalog idiay ubbog ket nagsakdo. Isu a kinunak kenkuana, 'Pangngaasim ta painumennak.'
46 She quickly lowered her jar from her shoulder and said, ‘Drink, and I will water your camels as well.’ So I drank, and she also watered the camels.
Dagus nga imbabana ti karambana manipud iti abagana ket kinunana, 'Uminumka, ket painumek met dagiti kameliom.' Imminomak ngarud, ket pinainomna met dagiti kamelio.
47 Then I asked her, ‘Whose daughter are you?’ She replied, ‘The daughter of Bethuel son of Nahor, whom Milcah bore to him.’ So I put the ring on her nose and the bracelets on her wrists.
Ket dinamagko kenkuana, 'Siasino ti akin anak kenka? Kinunana, 'Putotnak ni Betuel a putot ni Nahor, nga impasngay ni Milca kenkuana.' Ket inkabilko ti aritos iti agongna ken dagiti pulseras kadagiti takiagna.
48 Then I bowed down and worshiped the LORD; and I blessed the LORD, the God of my master Abraham, who led me on the right road to take the granddaughter of my master’s brother for his son.
Kalpasanna, nagkurnoak ket nagdaydayawak kenni Yahweh, indaydayawko ni Yahweh a Dios ti apok a ni Abraham, nga isu iti nangidalan kaniak iti umno a dalan tapno masarakak ti anak dagiti kabagian ti amongko para iti anakna.
49 Now if you will show kindness and faithfulness to my master, tell me; but if not, let me know, so that I may go elsewhere.”
Ita ngarud, no nakasaganakayo a mangpadayaw iti apok babaen iti kinapudnoyo ken kinamapagtalkan iti pamilya, ibagayo kaniak. Ngem no saan, ibagayo kaniak, tapno ammok ti aramidek.”
50 Laban and Bethuel answered, “This is from the LORD; we have no choice in the matter.
Ket simmungbat da Laban ken Betuel a kinunada, “Ti banag ket naggapu kenni Yahweh; saankami a mabalin nga agsarita iti nasayaat wenno dakes kenka.
51 Rebekah is here before you. Take her and go, and let her become the wife of your master’s son, just as the LORD has decreed.”
Adtoy ni Rebecca iti sangoanam. Alaem isuna ket mapankayo, tapno agbalin nga asawa ti anak ti apom, kas imbaga ni Yahweh.”
52 When Abraham’s servant heard their words, he bowed down to the ground before the LORD.
Idi nangngegan ti adipen ni Abraham dagiti sinaoda, nagpakleb iti daga para kenni Yahweh.
53 Then he brought out jewels of silver and gold, and articles of clothing, and he gave them to Rebekah. He also gave precious gifts to her brother and her mother.
Inruar ti adipen dagiti banbanag a pirak, ken banbanag a balitok, ken pagan-anay, ket intedna kenni Rebecca. Inikkanna met iti napapateg a sagut ti kabsatna a lalaki ken ni nanangna.
54 Then he and the men with him ate and drank and spent the night there. When they got up the next morning, he said, “Send me on my way to my master.”
Ket nangan ken imminom isuna ken dagiti lallaki a kaduana. Ket nagtalinaedda sadiay iti nagpatnag, ket idi bimmangonda iti kabigatan, kinunana, “Palubosandak a mapan iti apok.”
55 But her brother and mother said, “Let the girl remain with us ten days or so. After that, she may go.”
Kinuna ti kabsat a lalaki ken ti nanang ni Rebecca, “Agtalinaed pay koma ti balasang kadakami iti sumagmamano pay nga al-aldaw, uray sangapulo laeng. Kalpasan dayta, mabalinna ti mapan.”
56 But he replied, “Do not delay me, since the LORD has made my journey a success. Send me on my way so that I may go to my master.”
Ngem kinunana kadakuada, “Saandak a lappedan, agsipud ta pinagballigi ni Yahweh ti panagdaliasatko. Palubosandak a pumanaw tapno mapanak kenni amongko.”
57 So they said, “We will call the girl and ask her opinion.”
Kinunada, “Ayabanmi ti balasang ket saludsodenmi isuna.”
58 They called Rebekah and asked her, “Will you go with this man?” “I will go,” she replied.
Isu nga inayabanda ni Rebecca ket sinaludsodda kenkuana, “Sumurotka kadi iti daytoy a lalaki?” Simmungbat isuna, “Sumurotak.”
59 So they sent their sister Rebekah on her way, along with her nurse and Abraham’s servant and his men.
Pinalubosanda ngarud ni Rebecca, a kaduana dagiti adipenna a babbai, iti panagdaliasatna a kadua ti adipen ni Abraham ken dagiti lallaki a kaduana.
60 And they blessed Rebekah and said to her, “Our sister, may you become the mother of thousands upon thousands. May your offspring possess the gates of their enemies.”
Binendisionanda ni Rebecca, a kinunada kenkuana, “Kabsatmi a babai, agbalinka koma nga ina iti rinibribu ti sangapulo a ribu, ken tagikuaen koma dagiti pulim ti ruangan dagiti manggura kadakuada.”
61 Then Rebekah and her servant girls got ready, mounted the camels, and followed the man. So the servant took Rebekah and left.
Kalpasanna, nagrubbuat ni Rebecca ket insaganana ken dagiti adipenna a babbai dagiti kamelio, ket simmurotda iti lalaki. Kastoy ti panangala ti adipen kenni Rebecca, ket napan iti dalanna.
62 Now Isaac had just returned from Beer-lahai-roi, for he was living in the Negev.
Ita, ni Isaac ket agnanaed idiay Negeb, ket kasubsublina laeng manipud Beer-lahai-roi.
63 Early in the evening, Isaac went out to the field to meditate, and looking up, he saw the camels approaching.
Rimmuar ni Isaac tapno mapan agpanunot iti kataltalunan iti rabii, ket idi timmangad isuna ken kimmita, pagammoan ket adda nakitana a sumagmamano a kamelio a sumungsungad!
64 And when Rebekah looked up and saw Isaac, she got down from her camel
Kimmita ni Rebecca, ket idi nakitana ni Isaac, limmagto nga immulog iti kamelio.
65 and asked the servant, “Who is that man in the field coming to meet us?” “It is my master,” the servant answered. So she took her veil and covered herself.
Kinunana iti adipen, “Siasino dayta a lalaki a magmagna idiay taltalon a sumabat kadatayo?” Kinuna ti adipen, “Ti apok.” Isu nga innalana ti dalungdongna, ket inabbunganna ti ulona.
66 Then the servant told Isaac all that he had done.
Imbaga ti adipen kenni Isaac dagiti amin a banbanag nga inaramidna.
67 And Isaac brought her into the tent of his mother Sarah and took Rebekah as his wife. And Isaac loved her and was comforted after his mother’s death.
Ket impan ni Isaac ni Rebecca idiay tolda ni Sarah nga inana ket innalana daytoy, ket nagbalin nga asawana ken inayatna. Naliwliwa ngarud ni Isaac kalpasan a natay ni nanangna.
