< Genesis 24 >

1 And Abraam was old, advanced in days, and the Lord blessed Abraam in all things.
In pacl se inge Abraham el arulana matuoh, tuh LEUM GOD El akinsewowoyal in ma nukewa el oru.
2 And Abraam said to his servant the elder of his house, who had rule over all his possessions, Put your hand under my thigh,
El fahk nu sin mwet kulansap se ma matu oemeet lal, su karingin ma lal nukewa, “Filiya poum inmasrlon epuk ac orala sie wulela nu sik.
3 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.
Nga lungse kom in wulela Inen LEUM GOD, su God lun kusrao ac faclu, lah kom fah tia sulela sie mutan Canaan kien wen nutik uh.
4 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.
Enenu na kom in folokla nu in facl su nga matula we, ac eis sie mutan inmasrlon mwet luk tuh in mutan kial Isaac, wen nutik.”
5 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?
A mwet kulansap sac siyuk, “Ac mutan sac fin tia lungse fahsr liki acn sel in wiyu tuku nu in acn Canaan? Ya nga ac supwala wen nutum in folokla nwe yen kom tuku we me an?”
6 And Abraam said to him, Take heed to yourself that you carry not my son back there.
Abraham el topuk, “Liyaung na kom in tia folokunla wen nutik uh nu we!
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 you and to your seed, he shall send his angel before you, and you shall take a wife to my son from thence.
LEUM GOD lun kusrao El usyume liki acn sin papa tumuk ac liki sou luk, ac El orala wulela na ku se lal nu sik mu El ac sang acn se inge nu sin fwilin tulik nutik. El fah supwala lipufan lal meet liki kom, tuh kom fah ku in konauk sie mutan kien wen nutik uh we.
8 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.
Mutan sac fin tia lungse wi kom tuku, na kom sukosok liki wulela se inge. Tusruktu ac fah wangin kutena sripa ac pwanang kom in folokunla wen nutik uh nu we.”
9 And the servant put his hand under the thigh of his master Abraam, and swore to him concerning this matter.
Ouinge mwet kulansap sac el filiya paol inmasrlon epal Abraham, leum lal, ac wulela in oru oana ma Abraham el fahk nu sel.
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.
Ac mwet kulansap sac el us kain in mwe lung puspis fin singoul sin camel nutin leum lal, ac som nu ke siti se yen Nahor el muta we epang in acn Mesopotamia.
11 And he rested his camels without the city by the well of water towards evening, when damsels go forth to draw water.
Ke el sun acn we, el orala camel uh in muta nu ten sisken lufin kof se likin siti sac. In pacl se inge ekela, pacl mutan uh in tuku ut kof.
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.
Mwet kulansap sac pre ac fahk, “O LEUM GOD, God lal Abraham leum luk, akwoye ouiyuk misenge, ac akpwayei wuleang lom nu sel Abraham, leum luk.
13 Behold! I stand by the well of water, and the daughters of them that inhabit the city come forth to draw water.
Nga a inge, sisken lufin kof se yen mutan fusr in siti uh ac tuku ut kof we.
14 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.
Nga fah fahk nu sin sie selos, ‘Nunak munas sruhkya sufa in kof nimom an nu ten, ac lela ngan nimya.’ El fin fahk, ‘Nimya, ac nga fah oayapa ut kof nimen camel nutum uh,’ lela tuh in pa inge mutan se ma kom sulela kial Isaac, mwet kulansap lom. Ma se inge fin sikyak, na nga ac fah etu lah kom akpwayei wulela lom nu sin leum luk.”
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.
Meet liki safla pre lal, Rebecca el sikla, us sufa in ut kof soko finpisal. El acn natul Bethuel, su wen natul Nahor ac Milcah. Nahor el tamulel lal Abraham.
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.
El mutan fusr na kato se su soenna etu mwet. El tufokla nu ke lufin kof sac, nwakla sufa lal, ac foloko.
17 And the servant ran up to meet her, and said, Give me a little water to drink out of your pitcher;
Mwet kulansap sac kasrusr nu yorol ac fahk, “Nunak munas, ase ngan nimya kof in sufa nimom an.”
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.
Mutan fusr sac fahk, “Mwet kacto, nimya.” Ac el sulaklak na sruhkya sufa lal nu ten liki finpisal, ac sruokya ke mwet kulansap sac nim.
19 And she said, I will also draw water for your camels, till they shall all have drunk.
Ke el nim tari, mutan sac fahk, “Kolya ngan utiya pac kof nimen camel nutum inge, ac sang eltal in nim na ke kuiyaltal.”
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.
Mutan sac el kina okoala sufa in kof sac nu in mwe nim kof lun kosro uh, ac kasrusr nu ke lufin kof ah in sifilpa ut kof, nwe ke na el kiteya nufonna camel nutin mukul sac.
21 And the man took great notice of her, and remained silent to know whether the Lord had made his way prosperous or not.
Mukul sac tia kas, a el tuni na mutan fusr sac in liye lah LEUM GOD El akwoye ouiyen fahsr lal.
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.
Ke camel ah nim kof tari, na mwet kulansap sac srukak ring gold na yohk molo se ac sang nu ke infwen mutan fusr sac, ac sang pac lohlpo gold luo nu ke paol.
23 And he asked her, and said, Whose daughter are you? Tell me if there is room for us to lodge with your father.
Ac el fahk, “Nunak munas fahk nu sik lah su papa tomom uh. Ya mwesas lohm sel ah nu sik ac mwet luk inge in mongla we ofong?”
24 And she said to him, I am the daughter of Bathuel the son of Melcha, whom she bore to Nachor.
Na mutan sac fahk, “Papa tumuk pa Bethuel, wen natul Nahor ac Milcah.
25 And she said to him, We have both straw and much provender, and a place for resting.
Pukanten mah pao ac mongo nun kosro lohm ah, ac mwesas pac lohm ah kowos in mongla we.”
26 And the man being well pleased, worshipped the Lord,
Na mwet kulansap sac sikukmutunte ac alu nu sin LEUM GOD.
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.
El fahk, “Kaksakin LEUM GOD, God lal Abraham, leum luk, su oaru in akpwayei wuleang lal nu sin leum luk. LEUM GOD El aksuwoswosye fahsr luk nu yurin sou lun leum luk.”
28 And the damsel ran and reported to the house of her mother according to these words.
Mutan fusr sac kasrusr nu lohm sin nina kial, ac srumun ma inge nukewa nu sel.
29 And Rebecca had a brother whose name was Laban; and Laban ran out to meet the man, to the well.
Oasr tamulel se lal Rebecca pangpang Laban, ac el kasrusr som nu ke lufin kof sac, nu yen mwet kulansap lal Abraham el muta we.
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.
Laban el tuh liye ring nu infwac se ac lohlpo ke poun tamtael lal, ac lohng pac ke mutan sac fahkak ma mwet kulansap sac fahk nu sel. El som nu yurin mwet kulansap lal Abraham, su tu sisken camel natul pe lufin kof sac,
31 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?
ac fahk, “Fahsru wiyu nu lohm ah. Kom sie mwet su LEUM GOD El akinsewowoye. Efu kom ku tu na inge? Oasr acn akola nu sum lohm ah, ac oasr pac acn nu sin camel nutum an.”
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.
Ouinge mukul sac som nu lohm sac, ac Laban el tella ma fin camel ah, ac sang mah pao ac mongo nalos. Na el use kof nu yurin mwet kulansap lal Abraham ac mwet lal, in ohlla nialos.
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.
Ke mongo uh utuku, mukul sac fahk, “Nga koflana eis mwe kasru inge nwe ke na nga fahkak sripen tuku luk uh.” Laban el fahk, “Srumun ma kom ac fahk an.”
34 And he said, I am a servant of Abraam;
Na el fahk, “Nga mwet kulansap lal Abraham.
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.
LEUM GOD El arulana akinsewowoye leum luk, oru el arulana kasrup. El sang nu sel un kosro puspis ke sheep, nani, cow, camel ac donkey, oayapa silver, gold, ac mwet kulansap mukul ac mutan.
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.
Sarah, mutan kien leum luk, el oswela wen se nu sel ke el arulana matu, ac leum luk el sang ma lal nukewa nu sin wen sac tuh in ma lal.
37 And my master caused me to swear, saying, You shall not take a wife to my son of the daughters of the Chananites, amongst whom I sojourn in their land.
Leum luk el sap nga orala sie wuleang na ku se in akos ma el sapkin. El fahk, ‘Nimet sulela mutan kien wen nutik inmasrlon mutan in acn Canaan.
38 But you shall go to the house of my father, and to my tribe, and you shall take thence a wife for my son.
A som nu yurin mwet lun papa tumuk ac sou luk, ac sulela sie mutan ah kial we.’
39 And I said to my master, Haply the woman will not go with me.
Ac nga siyuk sin leum luk, ‘Ac mutan sac fin tia lungse wiyu tuku?’
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 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.
El topukyu ac fahk, ‘LEUM GOD su nga akos pacl nukewa, El ac fah supu lipufan lal in wi kom, ac sot wo ouiya nu sum. Kom fah eis sie mutan ah kien wen nutik inmasrlon mwet luk ac sou lun papa tumuk.
41 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.
Ma sefanna ac ku in aksukosokye kom liki wuleang se lom inge pa kom fin som nu yurin sou luk tuh elos tia lohng siyuk lom.’
42 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,
“Ke nga tuku sun lufin kof sac misenge, nga pre ac fahk, ‘LEUM GOD lal Abraham leum luk, nunak munas ase wo ouiya nu ke ma nga fahsr kac uh.
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 your pitcher,
Nga pa inge ke lufin kof uh. Ke pacl se sie mutan fusr ac tuku in ut kof uh, na nga ac siyuk sel elan ase kof ngan nimya liki sufa lal.
44 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.
El fin etaten ac kiteyu kof, ac oayapa siyuk elan use kof nimen camel nutik uh, lela in el pa mutan se kom sulela tuh in mutan kien wen nutin leum luk!’
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.
Meet liki nga aksafyela pre lun insiuk, Rebecca el sikla us sufa in ut kof soko finpisal, ac oatui nu ke lufin kof sac in ut kof. Nga fahk nu sel, ‘Nunak munas, se ngan nimya.’
46 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.
El kina eisya sufa sac liki finpisal ac fahk, ‘Nimya, ac nga ac fah sang pac kof nimen camel nutum uh.’ Ouinge nga nimya, ac el kiteya pac camel ah.
47 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.
Nga siyuk sel, ‘Su papa tomom uh?’ Ac el topuk, ‘Papa tumuk pa Bethuel, wen natul Nahor ac Milcah.’ Na nga sang ring se nu ke fwacl ac lohlpo luo nu ke paol.
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.
Nga sikukmutunte ac alu nu sin LEUM GOD. Nga kaksakin LEUM GOD lal Abraham leum luk, su kolyume na nwe yurin sou lun leum luk, yen su nga konauk mutan fusr se natulos tuh in ma kien wen nutin leum luk.
49 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.
Inge, komtal fin akola in oru ip lomtal nu sin leum luk ac insese nu ke siyuk lal uh, na komtal nunak munas fahk nu sik. Ac fin tia, fahk pac, tuh nga in sulela lah mea nga ac oru.”
50 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.
Na Laban ac Bethuel topuk ac fahk, “Ke sripen ma inge ma sin LEUM GOD me uh, wanginna ma kut ac fahk.
51 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.
Rebecca el a inge. Usal ac som. Lela tuh elan mutan kien wen nutin leum lom, in oana ke LEUM GOD El fahk.”
52 And it came to pass when the servant of Abraam heard these words, he bowed himself to the Lord down to the earth.
Pacl se mwet kulansap lal Abraham el lohng ma inge, el faksufi ac alu nu sin LEUM GOD.
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.
Na el tella nuknuk ac silver ac mwe yun gold, ac sang nu sel Rebecca. El oayapa sang mwe kite yohk molo nu sin tamulel lal ac nu sin nina kial.
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.
Na mwet kulansap lal Abraham ac mwet welul elos mongoi ac motulla we ke fong sac. Ke elos tukakek ke lotu se tok ah, mwet kulansap sac fahk, “Nunak munas, filikutla in folokla nu yurin leum luk.”
55 And her brethren and her mother said, Let the virgin remain with us about ten days, and after that she shall depart.
Tusruktu tamulel lal Rebecca ac nina kial eltal fahk, “Mea, Rebecca el tia ku in mutawin len singoul ma yorosr, na el fah wi kom som?”
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.
A el fahk, “Nikmet ikol kut in sifilpa muta. LEUM GOD El akwoye fahsr se luk inge. Fuhlela nga in tari folokla nu yurin mwet kacto luk.”
57 And they said, Let us call the damsel, and enquire at her mouth.
Ac elos fahk, “Pangnolma Rebecca, kut in lohng lah mea el ac fahk.”
58 And they called Rebecca, and said to her, Will you go with this man? and she said, I will go.
Ouinge elos pangnolma Rebecca ac siyuk, “Kom lungse wi mwet se inge som?” Ac el fahk, “Aok.”
59 So they sent forth Rebecca their sister, and her goods, and the servant of Abraam, and his attendants.
Ke ma inge elos fuhlella Rebecca ac mutan kulansap se ma liyalang ke pacl el tulik ah yak, in wi mwet kulansap lal Abraham ac mwet lal ah som.
60 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.
Ac elos akinsewowoyal Rebecca ac fahk, “Lela tuh kom, tamtael wiasr, in nina kien million! Ac fwilin tulik nutum in kutangla siti lun mwet lokoalok lalos!”
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.
Na Rebecca ac mutan fusr kulansap lal elos akola ac sroang nu fin camel uh in wi mwet kulansap lal Abraham. Na elos nukewa mukuiyak som.
62 And Isaac went through the wilderness to the well of the vision, and he lived in the land towards the south.
Isaac el tuku nu in acn turangang se ke “Lufin Kof Lun El Su Moul Ac Liyeyu,” ac el muta layen eir ke sie ipin acn Canaan.
63 And Isaac went forth into the plain towards evening to meditate; and having lifted up his eyes, he saw camels coming.
Ke tufahna ekela el illa ac fufahsryesr in polo acn sac, ac liyauk kutu camel fahfahsru.
64 And Rebecca lifted up her eyes, and saw Isaac; and she alighted briskly from the camel,
Ke Rebecca el liyalak Isaac, el fani liki camel el muta fac
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.
ac siyuk sin mwet kulansap lal Abraham, “Su mwet se fahsru nu yorosr ingo?” Na mwet kulansap sac topuk, “Pa ingo leum se luk uh.” Ouinge Rebecca el srukak nuknuk in afyuf lal ac sunya mutal.
66 And the servant told Isaac all that he had done.
Mwet kulansap sac srumunang nu sel Isaac ma nukewa el tuh oru.
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.
Na Isaac el usalak Rebecca nu in lohm nuknuk se ma Sarah nina kial ah tuh muta we, ac el payukyak sel. Lungse lal Isaac nu sel Rebecca akwoyela asor lal ke wanginla lun nina kial.
