Genesis 24
1 And Abraam was old, advanced in days, and the Lord blessed Abraam in all things.
Abraham uanale na naruꞌ losa namalasi nala seli. LAMATUALAIN nanea e malolole, ma fee ne nasodꞌa no mole dame.
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,
Abraham ate nemehere na esa, tao mataꞌ neu hata-heto nara. Lao esa, Abraham noꞌe e nae, “Rena malolole! Au oꞌe ho sumba mendiꞌ LAMATUALAIN nara na. Lamatualain mana tao lalai no raefafoꞌ a. Mae, ho afiꞌ haꞌi inaꞌ mia atahori Kanaꞌan ra, fo muꞌusasaoꞌ no ana ngga Isak.
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.
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.
Musi muu sia au nusa ngga, sia au bobꞌonggi nggara. Sangga ana fetoꞌ esa sia naa, fo taꞌasasaoꞌ no ana ngga.”
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?
Basa de ate naa natane Abraham nae, “Malole, Amaꞌ! Te mete ma ana fetoꞌ a nda nau nema sa, naa taꞌo bee? Au musi o amaꞌ anan fo sao sia naa, do, taꞌo bee?”
6 And Abraam said to him, Take heed to thyself that thou carry not my son back thither.
Abraham nataa nae, “Musunedꞌa malolole! Mae taꞌo bee o, afiꞌ mo ana ngga naa neu!
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.
Musunedꞌa te LAMATUALAIN mana toꞌu koasa sia lalai no raefafoꞌ a, no au lao hela nusa ngga, de nendi au losa rae ia. Ana tao hehelu-fufuliꞌ no au nae, ‘Dei fo Au fee basa rae ia neu tititi-nonosi ma.’ Dadꞌi afiꞌ hia-bii! Muu neuꞌ ena. Dei fo Lamatualain denu ate Na mia sorga nema soi dalaꞌ fee nggo, fo mundaa mo ana fetoꞌ mana nae dadꞌi ana ngga sao na.
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.
Te mete ma ana fetoꞌ naa nda nau tungga nema sa, naa susumbaꞌ ia nda dai nggo sa. Mae taꞌo bee o, afiꞌ mo ana ngga naa neu.”
9 And the servant put his hand under the thigh of his master Abraam, and swore to him concerning this matter.
Boe ma, ate a sumba no Abraham, nae eni tao tungga basa Abraham hihii-nanau na.
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.
Basa naa ma, ana here nala onta sanahulu, de no atahori nara fua sudꞌi a saa meulauꞌ ra reu banda onta ra ata. De lao risiꞌ Nahor kambo na sia Mesopotamia.
11 And he rested his camels without the city by the well of water towards evening, when damsels go forth to draw water.
Neu mateꞌe na, ate a losa kamboꞌ naa. Ana fee banda onta ra hahae deka oe mataꞌ esa, sia kamboꞌ a suu na. Leleꞌ naa bobꞌoꞌ ena, de ana fetoꞌ ra reu hando oe sia oe mataꞌ a.
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.
Boe ma ate a hule-oꞌe nae, “LAMATUALAIN, malangga ngga Abraham Lamatua na. Tulun soi dalaꞌ, fo leleo-lalao ngga ia, hambu maloleꞌ. Mutudꞌu rala malole Ma neu malangga ngga, ma musunedꞌa hehelu-fufuli na neu au. Naa fo, undaa o ana fetoꞌ fo mana nae dadꞌi Isak sao na.
13 Lo! I stand by the well of water, and the daughters of them that inhabit the city come forth to draw water.
Lamatualain, au umburiꞌ sia oe mataꞌ suu na ia. Ana fetoꞌ mia kamboꞌ ia ra rema hando oe sia ia.
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.
Dadꞌi au oꞌe taꞌo ia: Mete ma au olaꞌ o ana fetoꞌ esa ae, ‘Ana fetoꞌ e! Muꞌondaꞌ hura oe ma fo au inu mbei dei.’ Mete ma nataa nae, ‘Amaꞌ minu leo! Ma au o fee banda onta mara rinu boe.’ Naa, dadꞌi bukti, ana fetoꞌ naa Lamatualain dudꞌu basa dadꞌi Isak sao na! No taꞌo naa, au uhine, Lamatualain mutudꞌu malole ma neu malangga ngga Abraham ena.”
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.
Ana nda feꞌe hule-oꞌe basa sa, te ana fetoꞌ esa naran, Ribka, nema. Eni, Abraham odꞌin Nahor no sao na Milka umbu na. Ribka ama na, naran Betuel. Ribka, meulau na seli, ma feꞌe nda nasalaꞌ no touꞌ ra sa. Ana onda oe mataꞌ neu, nadꞌai hura oe na, de hene baliꞌ.
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.
17 And the servant ran up to meet her, and said, Give me a little water to drink out of thy pitcher;
Ribka losa ataꞌ ma, Abraham ate na nelaꞌ neu. Ana noꞌe nae, “Ana fetoꞌ. Fee au inu mbei dei.”
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.
Ana fetoꞌ a nataa nae, “Minu leo, toꞌo!” Ana naꞌondaꞌ hura oe na lai-lai, de fee ate a ninu.
19 And she said, I will also draw water for thy camels, till they shall all have drunk.
Ana ninu basa ma, ana fetoꞌ a nae, “Au hando oe fee toꞌo banda onta nara, fo rinu raꞌabeta boe.”
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.
Ana oni oe sisaꞌ neu banda onta ra mamana nininu nara, ma nelaꞌ neu hando seluꞌ oe sia oe mataꞌ fo hani banda onta naa ra, losa raꞌabeta.
21 And the man took great notice of her, and remained silent to know whether the Lord had made his way prosperous or not.
Abraham ate na nambariiꞌ hie-hie, mete namemeu ana fetoꞌ a tatao na. Ana dudꞌuꞌa nae, “Ana fetoꞌ ia, Lamatualain hii nalaꞌ a, do?”
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.
Basa banda onta naa ra rinu losa raꞌabeta. Boe ma ate a fee Ribka bꞌua mafelit fo ana fetoꞌ ra biasa pake. Ana fee ndeli liloꞌ fo nato neu mbana na, ma kale liloꞌ pasan esa, fo olu neu lima nara.
23 And he asked her, and said, Whose daughter art thou? Tell me if there is room for us to lodge with thy father.
Basa ma, ana natane nae, “Ana fetoꞌ e! Ho ama ma, nara na se? Mete ma nau, naa, au sungguꞌ sia ama ma ume na.”
24 And she said to him, I am the daughter of Bathuel the son of Melcha, whom she bore to Nachor.
Ana fetoꞌ a nataa nae, “Ama ngga, naran Betuel. Baꞌi ngga, naran Nahor ma nene ngga, Milka.
25 And she said to him, We have both straw and much provender, and a place for resting.
Sia hai ume ma mamana susungguꞌ dai toꞌo se. Uru o naeꞌ fee toꞌo se banda nara boe.”
26 And the man being well pleased, worshipped the Lord,
Basa ma, ate a beꞌutee neu LAMATUALAIN,
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.
de olaꞌ nae, “Koa-kio Lamatuaꞌ! Lamatuaꞌ soi dalaꞌ fee au ena, de undaa o malangga ngga Abraham bobꞌonggi nara sia ia. No taꞌo naa, Lamatuaꞌ mutudꞌu rala malole Ma neu malangga ngga Abraham, ma tao mutetu hehelu-fufuli na neu au.”
28 And the damsel ran and reported to the house of her mother according to these words.
Basa ma, ana fetoꞌ a nela baliꞌ, de dui ume isi nara, basa saa fo mana dadꞌiꞌ a.
29 And Rebecca had a brother whose name was Laban; and Laban ran out to meet the man, to the well.
Ribka naa na, naran Labꞌan. Leleꞌ ana nita bua mbilas ra ma rena Ribka dudꞌui na ma, ana nelaꞌ lai-lai, neu nandaa no ate mana rii-rii no banda onta nara deka oe mataꞌ a.
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.
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?
Labꞌan olaꞌ no e nae, “Toꞌo! Lamatualain no toꞌo losa ia no masodꞌaꞌ ena. Dadꞌi afiꞌ mumburiꞌ siaꞌ a deaꞌ! Uma tisiꞌ hai ume ma. Hai sadꞌia kama ena, ma nanaat fee toꞌo se banda onta nara o, naeꞌ boe.”
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.
Basa boe ma, Abraham ate na tungga Labꞌan, de risiꞌ Betuel ume na. Labꞌan se tulun se raꞌondaꞌ sudꞌiꞌ a saa ra mia banda onta ra. Ara fee banda onta ra uru, ma rendi oe fee ate a no atahori nara safe ei nara.
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.
Ara tao nanaat neu mei ma, ate a nae, “Hita tae taa, te au ae ufadꞌe duduꞌat esa dei.” Labꞌan nataa nae, “Olaꞌ leo, toꞌo.”
34 And he said, I am a servant of Abraam;
Ma ate a nae, “Au ia, hei baꞌi ma Abraham ate na.
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.
LAMATUALAIN fee papala-babꞌanggiꞌ naeꞌ neu malangga ngga, de namasuꞌi seli. Lamatualain fee lilo mbilas, lilo fulaꞌ, ate touꞌ-inaꞌ, ma banda naeꞌ. Naeni: sapi, banda onta, keledai, ma hiek-lombo.
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.
Au malangga ngga touꞌ-inaꞌ ramalasi, dei de mama Sara bꞌonggi fee malangga ngga ana touꞌ esa. Dei fo, ana mana hambu basa Abraham hata-heto nara.
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.
Lao esa, malangga ngga denu au sumba oi, ‘Ho afiꞌ haꞌi ana feto Kanaꞌan, fo muꞌusasaoꞌ no ana mone ngga Isak.
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.
Te ho musi haꞌi ana fetoꞌ mia bobꞌonggi nggara, dadꞌi eni sao naꞌ.’
39 And I said to my master, Haply the woman will not go with me.
Boe ma au utane malangga ngga ae, ‘Te mete ma ana fetoꞌ a nda nau tungga au sa naa, taꞌo bee?’
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.
Ana nataa nae, ‘LAMATUALAIN fo au tungga hihii Na, dei fo denu ate Na mia sorga nema soi dalaꞌ fee nggo, fo hambu ana fetoꞌ mia au bobꞌonggi nggara, fo dadꞌi ana ngga sao na.
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.
Te mete ma bobꞌonggi nggara nda simbo sa, ma nda nau mboiꞌ ana fetoꞌ a nema sia ia sa, naa, susumbaꞌ naa nda dai nggo sa.’
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,
Dadꞌi losa oe mataꞌ a ma, au hule-oꞌe sia rala ngga ae, ‘LAMATUALAIN, malangga ngga Abraham Lamatua na. Tulun soi dalaꞌ, fo leleo-lalao ngga ia, hambu maloleꞌ. Naa fo, au undaa o ana fetoꞌ fo mana nae dadꞌi Isak sao na.
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,
Lamatualain, au umburiiꞌ sia oe mataꞌ ia suu na. Ana fetoꞌ mia kamboꞌ ia ra rema hando oe sia ia. Dadꞌi au oꞌe taꞌo ia: Mete ma au olaꞌ o ana fetoꞌ esa ae, ‘Ana fetoꞌ e! Muꞌondaꞌ hura oe ma fo au inu mbei dei.’
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.
Mete ma ana nataa nae, ‘Amaꞌ minu leo! Ma au o fee banda mara rinu boe.’ Naa, dadꞌi bukti, ana fetoꞌ naa Lamatualain dudꞌu basa dadꞌi Isak sao na!
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.
Au nda feꞌe hule-oꞌe basa sa, te Ribka nema nendi hura oe na, de hando oe sia oe mataꞌ a. Ana hene ata neu ma, au oꞌe ae, ‘Ana fetoꞌ e. Fee au inu mbei dei.’
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.
Boe ma ana naꞌondaꞌ hura oe na, de nae, ‘Toꞌo e, minu leo! Au o hani toꞌo banda nara boe.’ De au inu ma banda onta ra o rinu boe.
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.
Basa ma, utane e ae, ‘Ama ma, naran seka?’ Nataa nae, ‘Ama ngga, naran Betuel. Baꞌi ngga, Nahor ma nene ngga, Milka.’ Boe ma au fee ne ndeli a ma kale ra.
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.
Boe ma, au beꞌutee neu Lamatualain ae, ‘Koa-kio Lamatualain! Lamatualain soi dalaꞌ fee au, de undaa o malangga Abraham bobꞌonggi nara sia ia. Ma au o undaa o mana nae dadꞌi malangga soruꞌ a sao na boe.’
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.
De ia naa, mete ma amaꞌ se mae mitudꞌu susueꞌ neu malangga ngga Abraham, naa, mifadꞌe au relo-relo. Mete ma hokoꞌ o, mifadꞌe relo-relo boe. Naa fo au bubꞌuluꞌ musi tao saa.”
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.
Ate a olaꞌ basa ma, Labꞌan no Betuel rataa rae, “Mete ma LAMATUALAIN tao nala taꞌo naa, naa, hai mae saa fai.
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.
Ribka sia ia, de mo e naa neu leo fo dadꞌi baꞌi Abraham ana feto feu na, tungga saa fo LAMATUALAIN ator nalaꞌ a ena.”
52 And it came to pass when the servant of Abraam heard these words, he bowed himself to the Lord down to the earth.
Ate a rena nala ma, ana beꞌutee losa rae, fo noꞌe makasi neu LAMATUALAIN.
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.
Basa ma, ana haꞌi lilo mbilas ma lilo fulaꞌ, ma bua-baꞌu meulauꞌ fo fee neu Ribka. Ana o fee sudꞌi a saa mafelit neu Ribka naa na no ina na boe.
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.
Boe ma no atahori nara, endoꞌ raa fefetas. Basa de, ara sungguꞌ sia naa. Mbila fefetu na, ara fela ma, ana nafadꞌe tenu umeꞌ a nae, “Au oꞌe fo, nau naa, hai mae baliꞌ leo misiꞌ malangga ngga.”
55 And her brethren and her mother said, Let the virgin remain with us about ten days, and after that she shall depart.
Te Ribka naa na no ina na rae, “Hei halai baliꞌ tao saa? Hela Ribka nahani no hai fai sanahulu dei ma. Basaꞌ fo, mo e neu.”
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 nataa nae, “Aduu! Afiꞌ ai au! LAMATUALAIN tulun au ena, de au undaa o mana nae dadꞌi malangga soru ngga sao na. De inaꞌ se mboꞌi hai, fo baliꞌ mii mifadꞌe malangga dei.”
57 And they said, Let us call the damsel, and enquire at her mouth.
Ara rataa rae, “Taꞌo ia! Ima fo tataneꞌ a Ribka, eni hihii na, taꞌo bee?”
58 And they called Rebecca, and said to her, Wilt thou go with this man? and she said, I will go.
Boe ma ara roꞌe Ribka, de ratane rae, “Ribka! Ia siaꞌ a nggo. Mae tungga memaꞌ mo atahori ia ra leo, do taꞌo bee?” Ana nataa nae, “Au nau.”
59 So they sent forth Rebecca their sister, and her goods, and the servant of Abraam, and his attendants.
Boe ma, ara mboꞌi Ribka, no ate inan mana mete-seꞌu e eniꞌ a aꞌanan, fo reu ro Abraham ate nara. Ara olaꞌ fee Ribka papala-babꞌanggiꞌ rae, “Ribka! Hai hule-huleꞌ fo Lamatualain fee nggo bꞌonggi mumuhefu, fo tititi-nonosi mara dadꞌi rifo-rataꞌ. Ma hai o hule-huleꞌ fo tititi-nonosi mara rasenggiꞌ musu nara!”
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.
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.
Basa naa ma, Ribka no ate ina nara raꞌalilinuꞌ bua-baꞌu nara, de sae banda onta, fo lao ro Abraham ate nara.
62 And Isaac went through the wilderness to the well of the vision, and he dwelt in the land toward the south.
Lele naa, Isak leo sia rae Negeb. Ana feꞌe baliꞌ mia oe mataꞌ sia Beer Lahai Roi.
63 And Isaac went forth into the plain toward evening to meditate; and having lifted up his eyes, he saw camels coming.
Bꞌobꞌobꞌoꞌ esa, ana dea neu lao-laoꞌ haiꞌ anin. Ana botiꞌ mata na ma, nita banda onta ra rema.
64 And Rebecca lifted up her eyes, and saw Isaac; and she alighted briskly from the camel,
Ribka nita Isak ma, ana onda lai-lai mia banda onta na.
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.
Natane Abraham ate na nae, “Toꞌo! Touꞌ mana laoꞌ nema naa, seka?” Ate a nataa nae, “Naeni au malangga soru ngga.” Boe ma Ribka haꞌi nala salenda na, de babata mata na.
66 And the servant told Isaac all that he had done.
Ara losa ma, ate a nafadꞌe basaꞌ e neu Isak.
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.
Boe ma Isak no Ribka risiꞌ inan lalaat na rala, de ruꞌa se esa sao esa. Isak sue Ribka, naa de, ana nda afiꞌ susa ina na mamaten sa ena.
