Genesis 24
1 And Abraam was old, advanced in days, and the Lord blessed Abraam in all things.
Abraham khaw a tue loh patong ben a paan coeng dae a cungkuem dongah BOEIPA loh Abraham te yoethen a paek.
2 And Abraam said to his servant the elder of his house, who had rule over all his possessions, Put thy hand under my thigh,
Te dongah Abraham loh a im kah a koe boeih aka taem sal a ham taengah, “Na kut te ka phai hmuiah tloeng laeh.
3 and I will adjure thee by the Lord the God of heaven, and the God of the earth, that thou take not a wife for my son Isaac from the daughters of the Chananites, with whom I dwell, in the midst of them.
Kai loh amih lakli ah kho ka sak dae Kanaan nurhoek te ka capa kaha yuu la lo boeh.
4 But thou shalt go instead to my country, where I was born, and to my tribe, and thou shalt take from thence a wife for my son Isaac.
Tedae ka khohmuen neh ka pacaboeina taengah cet lamtah ka ca Isaak ham yuu loh pah tila vaan Pathen, diklai Pathen BOEIPA ming neh nang kan toemngam sak,” a ti nah.
5 And the servant said to him, Shall I carry back thy son to the land whence thou camest forth, if haply the woman should not be willing to return with me to this land?
Te dongah a sal loh Abraham te, “Hekah khohmuen la kai hnukah vai ham huta loh a huem pawt khaming, na poenah kho la na capa te ka bal khaw ka bal puei aya?” a ti nah.
6 And Abraam said to him, Take heed to thyself that thou carry not my son back thither.
Tedae Abraham loh anih taengah, “Nang te ngaithuen, ka capa te ke la na khuen ve ne.
7 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 thee and to thy seed, he shall send his angel before thee, and thou shalt take a wife to my son from thence.
A pa im neh ka pacaboeina khohmuen lamkah kai aka khuen tih ka taengaha thui vaengah, 'Hekah khohmuen he nang tiingan ham ka khueh ni, ' tila aka toemngam, vaan kah Pathen BOEIPA loh nang hmai ah amah kah puencawn te a tueih vetih ka capa hama yuute ke lamkah nan loh pah bitni.
8 And if the woman should not be willing to come with thee into this land, thou shalt be clear from my oath, only carry not my son thither again.
Tedae huta loh nang taengah lo hama huem pawt atah ka olhlo dong lamloh m'hmil saeh. Tedae ka capa te ke la khuen boeh,” a ti nah.
9 And the servant put his hand under the thigh of his master Abraam, and swore to him concerning this matter.
Te dongah salpa loh a kut te a boei Abraham kah a phai hmuiah a khueh tih hekah olka ham amah taengah a toem a ngam.
10 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.
Te phoeiah salpa loh a boei kah kalauk pumrhaa loh tih a kut ah a boei kah thennah cungkuem neh cet. Te vaengah thoo tih Nakhaw kah khopuei Aramnaharaim la cet.
11 And he rested his camels without the city by the well of water towards evening, when damsels go forth to draw water.
Tedae hlaem tue vaengkah tuithan rhoek a caeh tue vaengah kalauk te khopuei voel kah tuito tui taengah a kol sak tih,
12 And he said, O Lord God of my master Abraam, prosper my way before me to day, and deal mercifully with my master Abraam.
“Ka boei Abraham kah BOEIPA Pathen aw, ka boei Abraham taengah sitlohnah han saii lamtah tihninah kai he m'phu sak laeh.
13 Lo! I stand by the well of water, and the daughters of them that inhabit the city come forth to draw water.
Tuiphuet tui kah ka pai vaengah tui than la khopuei hlang kah tanu aka lo rhoek khuikah,
14 And it shall be, the virgin to whomsoever I shall say, Incline thy water-pot, that I may drink, and she shall say, Drink thou, and I will give thy camels drink, until they shall have done drinking—even this one thou hast prepared for thy servant Isaac, and hereby shall I know that thou hast dealt mercifully with my master Abraam.
Hula aka om te, 'Na amrhaeng hal dae lamtah tui ka o eh?,’ ka ti nah vaengah, 'O lamtah na kalauk rhoek khaw tui kan tul eh?,’ aka ti te na sal Isaak ham na hmoel pah. Anih dongah ka boei taengah sitlohnah nan saii tila ka ming ni,” a ti nah.
15 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.
Tedaea thui tea khah hlanah Abraham kah a manuca Nakhaw yuu Milkah capa Bethuel loha sak Rebekahte a laengpang ah amrhaeng neh pakcak ha pawk.
16 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.
A mueimae bahoeng aka then huta oila la om tih anih tetongpa loh ming hlan. Tuiphuet la suntla tih amrhaeng te a than tih yoeng.
17 And the servant ran up to meet her, and said, Give me a little water to drink out of thy pitcher;
Te dongah anih doe ham salpa te yong. Te phoeiah, “Nang kah amrhaeng tui bet n'coih ne,” a ti nah.
18 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.
Te dongah, “Ka boeipa o mai saw,” a tinah tih a kut kah a amrhaengte khaw koea hal pah. Te phoeiah anih te a tul.
19 And she said, I will also draw water for thy camels, till they shall all have drunk.
Anihte bawta tul phoeiah, “Na kalaukrhoek ham khawa ok rhoeh hil kan than dae eh,” a ti nah.
20 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.
Te phoeiah a amrhaeng te tuisoi dongah koe a kingling tih tui than hamla tuito la koep yong. Te phoeiah a kalauk boeih ham tui a than.
21 And the man took great notice of her, and remained silent to know whether the Lord had made his way prosperous or not.
BOEIPA loh a longpuei a thaihtak sak neh a thaihtak sak pawt khaw ming hamla tongpa loh huta te duem a boelh.
22 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.
Te dongah kalauk loh bawta ok nen tah tongpa loh sui hnaii a khiing beka khat neh a kut dongkah ham sui khungpak panit, a khiing parha te a loh.
23 And he asked her, and said, Whose daughter art thou? Tell me if there is room for us to lodge with thy father.
Te phoeiah, “Nang ukah canu lae? Kai taengah thui lah. Na pa im ah pah ham a hmuen kaimih ham om aya?,” a ti nah.
24 And she said to him, I am the daughter of Bathuel the son of Melcha, whom she bore to Nachor.
Te dongah anih taengah, “Kai tah Milkah loh Nakhaw hama cuna capa Bethuel canu ni,” a ti nah.
25 And she said to him, We have both straw and much provender, and a place for resting.
Te phoeiah anih te, “Kaimih taengah cangkong khaw, kamvuelh khaw, coih tih rhaeh hmuen khaw om,” a ti nah.
26 And the man being well pleased, worshipped the Lord,
Te dongah tekah hlang te buluk tih BOEIPA tea bawk.
27 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.
Te phoeiah, “Ka boei Abraham kah Pathen BOEIPA tah a yoethen pai. A sitlohnah neh uepomnah loh ka boei te hnoo pawh. Kai khaw ka boei kah a manuca im duela longpuei ah BOEIPA loh m'mawt coeng,” a ti.
28 And the damsel ran and reported to the house of her mother according to these words.
Hula te khaw yong tih hekah olka tea manu cako hama thui pah.
29 And Rebecca had a brother whose name was Laban; and Laban ran out to meet the man, to the well.
Te vaengah Rebekah tea nganpa, a mingah Laban khaw om. Te dongah Labante tollong la yongtih tuiphuet kah hlang taengla cet.
30 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.
Tedae hnaii neh a ngannu kut kah khungpak te lawta hmuh tih a ngannu Rebekah loh, “Tekah hlang loh kai taengaha thui,” a ti nah, ol a yaak. Hlang tea paan vaengah tah, tuiphuet kah kalauk taengah sut ana pai pah.
31 And he said to him, Come in hither, thou blessed of the Lord, why standest thou without, whereas I have prepared the house and a place for the camels?
Te dongah, “BOEIPA kah yoethen a paek tah halo pai. Balae tih vongvoel ah na pai? Kai khaw im neh kalauk ham hmuen ka rhoekbah coeng ta,” a ti nah.
32 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.
Te daengah tekah hlang loh im la cet tih kalauk te a hlam. Te phoeiah kalauk ham cangkong neh kamvuelh khaw, anih kho neh a taengkah hlangrhoek kho silhnah hamla tui khawa paek.
33 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.
Te phoeiah caak te amih hmai aha tawn pah hatah, “Kamah kah olka ka thui hlanah ka ca mahpawh,” a ti nah. Te dongah, “Thui,” a tinah hatah,
34 And he said, I am a servant of Abraam;
“Kai tah Abraham kah sal ni.
35 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.
Tahae ah BOEIPA loh ka boeipa te yoethen muep a paek dongah boei coeng. Te phoeiah anih te boiva khaw, saelhung khaw, cak neh sui khaw, salpa neh salnu khaw, kalauk neh laak khaw a paek.
36 And Sarrha my master's wife bore one son to my master after he had grown old; and he gave him whatever he had.
Ka boeipa kah a yuu Sarah khaw a patong soiah ka boeipa ham ca a sak pah tih a taengkah koe boeih te anih ham a khueh pah.
37 And my master caused me to swear, saying, Thou shalt not take a wife to my son of the daughters of the Chananites, among whom I sojourn in their land.
Tedae ka boeipa loh kai te, 'Ka capa yuu ham tah kai loh kho ka sak thil khohmuen kah Kanaan nu te loh pah boeh.
38 But thou shalt go to the house of my father, and to my tribe, and thou shalt take thence a wife for my son.
Tedae a pa im la lat cet lamtah kamah huiko te ka ca yuu la loh pah,’ a ti tih a toem a ngam.
39 And I said to my master, Haply the woman will not go with me.
Tedae ka boeipa te, 'Kai hnukah huta te halo pawt khaming,’ ka ti nah hatah,
40 And he said to me, The Lord God to whom I have been acceptable in his presence, himself shall send out his angel with thee, and shall prosper thy journey, and thou shalt take a wife for my son of my tribe, and of the house of my father.
'BOEIPA amah mikhmuh ah ni kai ka caeh. Nang taengah amah kah puencawn te han tueih vetih na longpuei a thaihtak sak vaengah ka capa yuu khaw kamah huiko neh a pa im lamkah te na loh thai ni.
41 Then shalt thou be clear from my curse, for whensoever thou shalt have come to my tribe, and they shall not give her to thee, then shalt thou be clear from my oath.
Kamah huiko taenglana pawk mak atah kai kah thaephoeinah lamkah m'hmil bitni. Nang taengah a canu te m'paek uh pawt akhaw kai kah thaephoeinah lamkah ommongsitoe la na om ngawn ni, ' a ti.
42 And having come this day to the well, I said, Lord God of my master Abraam, if thou prosperest my journey on which I am now going,
Tedae tihninah tuiphuet te kam pha tih, 'Ka boei Abraham kah Pathen BOEIPA aw, namahna om atah he la ka pongpa vaengah ka longpuei han thaihtak sak laeh.
43 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 thy pitcher,
Kai loh tuiphuet kah tui taengah he ka pai vaengah tuithan la aka lo hula te om mai tih anih te, “Na amrhaeng dongkah tui te kai bet n'tul laem,’ ka ti nah vetih,
44 and she shall say to me, Both drink thou, and I will draw water for thy camels, this [shall be] the wife whom the Lord has prepared for his own servant Isaac; and hereby shall I know that thou hast wrought mercy with my master Abraam.
Te vaengah kai taengah, 'Namah o ngawn lamtah na kalauk rhoek ham khaw kan than eh?,’ ti saeh. Tekah huta te ka boeipa kah a capa ham BOEIPA loh hmoel saeh,” ka ti.
45 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.
Kai loh ka lungbuei ah ka thangthui te ka khah hlanah mah Rebekah loh a laengpang sokah amrhaeng neh tarha ha pawk tih tuiphuet la suntla thuk. Tui a than phoeiah anih te, 'Kai n'tul laem,’ ka ti nah.
46 And she hasted and let down her pitcher on her arm from her head, and said, Drink thou, and I will give thy camels drink; and I drank, and she gave the camels drink.
Te vaengah amah pum dongkah amrhaengte koea hal tih, 'O lamtah na kalaukrhoek khaw ka tul eh?,” a ti. Te dongah ka ok tih kalauk rhoek te khaw tui a tul.
47 And I asked her, and said, Whose daughter art thou? 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.
Te phoeiah anih te ka dawt tih, 'Nang u canu lae?' ka ti nah vaengah Milkah loh Nakhaw ham a sak pah a capa Bethuel canu ni, ' a ti. Te dongah a hnarhong ah hnaii ka bang pah tih a kut ah khungpak ka buen sak.
48 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.
Te phoeiah ka buluk tih BOEIPA te ka bawk vaengah, “Ka boei kah a manuca canu te a capa ham aka lo la oltak longpuei ah kai aka mawt ka boei Abraham kah BOEIPA Pathen te ka uem.
49 If then ye [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.
Tedae tahaeah ka boeipa ham sitlohnah neh uepomnah tueng ham na huem atah kai taengah thui lah. Kai taengahna thui uh pawt bal atah banvoei bantang la ka mael mai eh,” a ti nah.
50 And Laban and Bathuel answered and said, This matter has come forth from the Lord, we shall not be able to answer thee bad or good.
Te dongah Laban neh Bethuelloh a doo tih, “BOEIPA lamkah olka aka thoeng te a thae then khaw nang taengah ka thui rhoi thai pawh.
51 Behold, Rebecca is before thee, take her and go away, and let her be wife to the son of thy master, as the Lord has said.
Na mikhmuh ah Rebekah aka om he lo lamtah caeh puei. BOEIPA kah a thui vanbangla na boeipa capa kah a yuu la om saeh,” a ti rhoi.
52 And it came to pass when the servant of Abraam heard these words, he bowed himself to the Lord down to the earth.
Amih rhoi kah olka te Abraham kah salloh a yaak vaengah BOEIPA taengah diklai la bakop tih a bawk.
53 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.
Te phoeiah salpa loh cak hnopai neh sui hnopai khaw, himbai khaw a sat tih Rebekah tea paek. A nganpa neh a manu te khaw kawnthena paek pah.
54 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 And her brethren and her mother said, Let the virgin remain with us about ten days, and after that she shall depart.
Tedae a nganpa neh a manu loh, “Hula he kaimih taengah khohnin hninrha tluk om dae vetihna cet mako,” a ti nah.
56 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.
Te dongah Abraham kah salpa loh amih taengah, “BOEIPA loh ka longpuei han thaihtak sak vanbangla kai he n'hloh uh boel mai. Ka boeipa taengah n'tueih mai lamtah kai ka cet mai eh,” a ti nah.
57 And they said, Let us call the damsel, and enquire at her mouth.
Te dongah, “Hula te khue uhsih lamtah amah olthui te dawt uh dae sih,” a ti uh.
58 And they called Rebecca, and said to her, Wilt thou go with this man? and she said, I will go.
Rebekah te a khue uh phoeiah, “Hekah hlang taengah na cet aya?” a ti nah uh vaengah, “Ka cet ni ta,” a ti.
59 So they sent forth Rebecca their sister, and her goods, and the servant of Abraam, and his attendants.
Te dongah a ngannu Rebekah neh anih kah cakhoem te khaw, Abraham kah sal neh a hlangrhoek te khaw a tueih uh.
60 And they blessed Rebecca, and said to her, Thou art our sister; become thou thousands of myriads, and let thy seed possess the cities of their enemies.
Te vaengah Rebekah te yoethen a paek uh tih amah taengah, “Ka ngannu nang tah a thawng thawngrha la coeng lamtah, na tiingan loh a lunguet kah vongka te huul saeh,” a ti nahuh.
61 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.
Te phoeiah Rebekah neh hula rhoek te thoo uh tih kalauk soah ngol uh. tongpa hnukah a caeh uh ham coeng dongah Rebekah te Abraham kah sal loh a loh tih a caeh puei.
62 And Isaac went through the wilderness to the well of the vision, and he dwelt in the land toward the south.
Te vaengah Negev kho ah khosak ham Beerlahairoi lamkah aka lo Isaak khaw ha pawk.
63 And Isaac went forth into the plain toward evening to meditate; and having lifted up his eyes, he saw camels coming.
Hlaem a pha vaengah Isaak te lohma la cet tih kho a poek. Te vaengah a mik a huel tih a sawt hatah kalauk tarha ha khong pah.
64 And Rebecca lifted up her eyes, and saw Isaac; and she alighted briskly from the camel,
Rebekah long khawa mika huel hatah Isaak tea hmuh tih kalauk so lamloh rhum thuk.
65 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 And the servant told Isaac all that he had done.
Te phoeiah salpaloh a saii hno boeih te Isaak taengaha thui.
67 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.
