Genesis 24
1 And Abraham was old, [and] advanced in age; and Jehovah had blessed Abraham 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 Abraham said to his servant, the eldest of his house, who ruled over all that he had, Put thy hand, I pray thee, 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 make thee swear by Jehovah, the God of the heavens and the God of the earth, that thou take not a wife for my son of the daughters of the Canaanites, among whom I am dwelling;
Kai loh amih lakli ah kho ka sak dae Kanaan nu rhoek te ka capa kah a yuu la lo boeh.
4 but thou shalt go to my land and to my kindred, and take 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, Perhaps the woman will not be willing to follow me to this land: must I, then, bring thy son again in any case to the land from which thou hast removed?
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 Abraham said to him, Beware that thou bring not my son thither again.
Tedae Abraham loh anih taengah, “Nang te ngaithuen, ka capa te ke la na khuen ve ne.
7 Jehovah the God of the heavens, who took me out of my father's house, and out of the land of my nativity, and who has spoken to me, and who has sworn to me, saying, Unto thy seed will I give this land — he will send his angel before thee, that thou mayest take a wife for my son thence.
A pa im neh ka pacaboeina khohmuen lamkah kai aka khuen tih ka taengah a 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 ham a yuu te ke lamkah nan loh pah bitni.
8 And if the woman be not willing to follow thee, then thou shalt be quit of this my oath: only, bring not my son thither again.
Tedae huta loh nang taengah lo ham a 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 Abraham his master, and swore unto him concerning that 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 the camels of his master, and departed; now all the treasure of his master was under his hand; and he arose and went to Aram-naharaim, to the city of Nahor.
Te phoeiah salpa loh a boei kah kalauk pumrha a 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 made the camels kneel down outside the city by a well of water, at the time of the evening, when the women came out 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, Jehovah, God of my master Abraham, meet me, I pray thee, [with thy blessing] this day, and deal kindly with my master Abraham.
“Ka boei Abraham kah BOEIPA Pathen aw, ka boei Abraham taengah sitlohnah han saii lamtah tihninah kai he m'phu sak laeh.
13 Behold, I stand [here] by the well of water, and the daughters of the men of the city come out to draw water.
Tuiphuet tui kah ka pai vaengah tui than la khopuei hlang kah tanu aka lo rhoek khuikah,
14 And let it come to pass, [that] the maiden to whom I shall say, Let down thy pitcher, I pray thee, that I may drink, and who will say, Drink, and I will give thy camels drink also, be she whom thou hast appointed for thy servant Isaac; and hereby I shall know that thou hast dealt kindly with my master.
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 ended speaking, that behold, Rebecca came out, who was born to Bethuel, son of Milcah the wife of Nahor, Abraham's brother; and [she had] her pitcher upon her shoulder.
Tedae a thui te a khah hlanah Abraham kah a manuca Nakhaw yuu Milkah capa Bethuel loh a sak Rebekahte a laengpang ah amrhaeng neh pakcak ha pawk.
16 And the maiden was very fair in countenance; a virgin, and no man had known her. And she went down to the well, and filled her pitcher, 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 to meet her, and said, Let me, I pray thee, sip a little water 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, my lord! And she hasted and let down her pitcher on her hand, and gave him to drink.
Te dongah, “Ka boeipa o mai saw,” a tinah tih a kut kah a amrhaengte khaw koe a hal pah. Te phoeiah anih te a tul.
19 And when she had given him enough to drink, she said, I will draw [water] for thy camels also, until they have drunk enough.
Anihte bawt a tul phoeiah, “Na kalaukrhoek ham khaw a ok rhoeh hil kan than dae eh,” a ti nah.
20 And she hasted and emptied her pitcher into the trough, and ran again to the well to draw [water]; and she drew for all his 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 was astonished at her, remaining silent, to know whether Jehovah had made his journey 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 the camels had drunk enough, that the man took a gold ring, of half a shekel weight, and two bracelets for her hands, ten [shekels] weight of gold,
Te dongah kalauk loh bawt a 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 said, Whose daughter art thou? tell me, I pray thee. Is there room [in] thy father's house for us to lodge?
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 Bethuel the son of Milcah, whom she bore to Nahor.
Te dongah anih taengah, “Kai tah Milkah loh Nakhaw ham a cun a capa Bethuel canu ni,” a ti nah.
25 And she said to him, There is straw, and also much provender with us; also room to lodge.
Te phoeiah anih te, “Kaimih taengah cangkong khaw, kamvuelh khaw, coih tih rhaeh hmuen khaw om,” a ti nah.
26 And the man stooped, and bowed down before Jehovah,
Te dongah tekah hlang te buluk tih BOEIPA te a bawk.
27 and said, Blessed be Jehovah, God of my master Abraham, who has not withdrawn his loving-kindness and his faithfulness from my master; I being in the way, Jehovah has led me to the house of my master's brethren.
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 maiden ran and told these things to her mother's house.
Hula te khaw yong tih hekah olka te a manu cako ham a thui pah.
29 And Rebecca had a brother, named Laban; and Laban ran out to the man, to the well.
Te vaengah Rebekah te a 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 ring and the bracelets on his sister's hand, and when he heard the words of Rebecca his sister, saying, Thus spoke the man to me — that he came to the man, and behold, he was standing by the camels, by the well.
Tedae hnaii neh a ngannu kut kah khungpak te lawt a hmuh tih a ngannu Rebekah loh, “Tekah hlang loh kai taengah a thui,” a ti nah, ol a yaak. Hlang te a paan vaengah tah, tuiphuet kah kalauk taengah sut ana pai pah.
31 And he said, Come in, blessed of Jehovah! why standest thou outside? for I have prepared the house, and room 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 came into the house; and he ungirded the camels, and gave the camels straw and provender, and water to wash his feet, and the feet of the men who 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 hlang rhoek kho silh nah hamla tui khaw a paek.
33 And there was set [meat] before him to eat; but he said, I will not eat until I have made known my business. And he said, Speak on.
Te phoeiah caak te amih hmai ah a 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 Abraham's servant.
“Kai tah Abraham kah sal ni.
35 And Jehovah has blessed my master greatly, and he is become great; and he has given him sheep and cattle, and silver and gold, and bondmen and bondwomen, and camels and asses.

36 And Sarah, my master's wife, bore a son to my master after she had grown old; and unto him has he given all that he has.
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 made me swear, saying, Thou shalt not take a wife for my son of the daughters of the Canaanite, in whose land I am dwelling;
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 by all means go to my father's house and to my family, and take 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, Perhaps the woman will not follow me?
Tedae ka boeipa te, 'Kai hnukah huta te halo pawt khaming,’ ka ti nah hatah,
40 And he said to me, Jehovah, before whom I have walked, will send his angel with thee, and prosper thy way, that thou mayest take a wife for my son of my family, and out of my father's house.
'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 quit of my oath, when thou shalt have come to my family. And if they give thee not [one], thou shalt be quit of 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 I came this day to the well, and said, Jehovah, God of my master Abraham, if now thou wilt prosper my way on which I go,
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 let it come to pass that the damsel who cometh forth to draw [water], and to whom I shall say, Give me, I pray thee, a little water out of thy pitcher to drink,
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 also draw for thy camels — that she should be the woman whom Jehovah hath appointed for my master's son.
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 Before I ended speaking in my heart, behold, Rebecca came forth with her pitcher on her shoulder, and went down to the well, and drew [water]; and I said to her, Give me, I pray thee, 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 from her [shoulder], and said, Drink, and I will give thy camels drink also. And I drank; and she gave the camels drink also.
Te vaengah amah pum dongkah amrhaengte koe a 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? And she said, The daughter of Bethuel, Nahor's son, whom Milcah bore to him. And I put the ring on her nose, 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 I stooped, and bowed down before Jehovah; and I blessed Jehovah, God of my master Abraham, who has led me the right way to take my master's brother's daughter 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 And now, if ye will deal kindly and truly with my master, tell me; and if not, tell me; and I will 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 Bethuel answered and said, The thing proceeds from Jehovah: we cannot speak to thee bad or good.
Te dongah Laban neh Bethuelloha 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 of thy master's son, as Jehovah 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 Abraham's servant heard their words, that he bowed down to the earth before Jehovah.
Amih rhoi kah olka te Abraham kah salloha yaak vaengah BOEIPA taengah diklai la bakop tih a bawk.
53 And the servant brought forth silver articles, and gold articles, and clothing, and he gave [them] to Rebecca; and he gave to her brother, and to her mother, precious things.
Te phoeiah salpa loh cak hnopai neh sui hnopai khaw, himbai khaw a sat tih Rebekah te a paek. A nganpa neh a manu te khaw kawnthen a paek pah.
54 And they ate and drank, he and the men that were with him, and lodged. And they rose up in the morning; and he said, Send me away to my master.

55 And her brother and her mother said, Let the maiden abide with us [some] days, or [say] ten; after that she shall go.
Tedae a nganpa neh a manu loh, “Hula he kaimih taengah khohnin hninrha tluk om dae vetihna cet mako,” a ti nah.
56 And he said to them, Do not hinder me, seeing Jehovah has prospered my way: send me away, and I will go to my master.

57 And they said, Let us call the maiden and inquire 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 And they sent away Rebecca their sister, and her nurse, and Abraham's servant, and his men.
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; mayest thou become thousands of tens of thousands; and may thy seed possess the gate 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 arose, and her maids, and they rode upon the camels, and followed the man. And the servant took Rebecca, and went away.

62 And Isaac had just returned from Beer-lahai-roi; for he was dwelling in the south country.

63 And Isaac had gone out to meditate in the fields toward the beginning of evening. And he lifted up his eyes and saw, and behold, camels were coming.

64 And Rebecca lifted up her eyes and saw Isaac, and she sprang off the camel.

65 And she had said to the servant, Who is the man that is walking in the fields to meet us? And the servant said, That is my master! Then she took the veil, and covered herself.

66 And the servant told Isaac all things that he had done.

67 And Isaac led her into his mother Sarah's tent; and he took Rebecca, and she became his wife, and he loved her. And Isaac was comforted after [the death of] his mother.
