Genesis 24
1 And Abraham was old, [and] advanced in age; and Jehovah had blessed Abraham in all things.
Ibrahim noseti kendo hike noniangʼ, kendo Jehova Nyasaye nosegwedhe e yore duto.
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,
Nowacho ne jatichne maduongʼ mane rito gige ode duto niya, “Ket lweti e kind ema.
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;
Adwaro mondo ikwongʼrina gi nying Jehova Nyasaye, Nyasach polo kod piny ni ok ibi yudone wuoda dhako koa kuom nyi Kanaan ma an jadak e kindgini,
4 but thou shalt go to my land and to my kindred, and take a wife for my son Isaac.
to ibiro dhi thurwa kendo ir wedena mondo iyudne wuoda Isaka dhako.”
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?
Jatichne nopenje niya, “Datim angʼo ka nyakono ok oyie biro koda e pinyni? Dadwok wuodi thuru kumane iayeno?”
6 And Abraham said to him, Beware that thou bring not my son thither again.
Ibrahim nowachone niya, “Nyaka ine ni ok idwoko wuoda kuno.
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.
Jehova Nyasaye, ma Nyasach polo mane ogola thurwa e dala wuora kendo nowuoyo koda kotimo koda singruok ni, ‘To ne nyikwayi nami pinyni’ kendo en owuon ema obiro oro malaikane nyimi mondo mi iyudne wuoda dhako kuno.
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.
To ka nyakono ok dwar biro kodi, eka inibed thuolo kuom singruok ma atimo kodini. Ne mana ni ok idwoko wuoda kuno.”
9 And the servant put his hand under the thigh of Abraham his master, and swore unto him concerning that matter.
Omiyo jatijeno noketo lwete e kind em ruodhe Ibrahim kendo notimo singruok kode e wachni.
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.
Eka jatijeno nokawo ngamia apar mag ruodhe, kod chiwo duto mabeyo mochako wuoth kodhi Aram-Naharaim (tiende ni, Mesopotamia) koluwo yo madhi dala matin mar Nahor.
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].
Noketo ngamia onindo piny machiegni gi soko but dala; ne en kar angʼich welo, seche mamon dhi umbo.
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.
Eka nolemo niya, “Yaye Jehova Nyasaye Nyasach ruodha Ibrahim, gwedha kawuono, kendo nyis ngʼwononi ne ruodha Ibrahim.
13 Behold, I stand [here] by the well of water, and the daughters of the men of the city come out to draw water.
Ne, koro eri achungo e bath sokoni, kama nyi dalani biro umboe pi.
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.
Mad timreni ka awachone nyako moro ni, ‘Asayi, yie dapigi piny mondo mi amodhie,’ kendo ka dowachna ni, ‘modhi kendo abiro chiwo pi ni ngamia-gi duto’ to en ema mondo obed nyako ma iseyierone Isaka jatichni. Kamano anangʼe ni isenyiso ngʼwononi ne ruodha.”
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.
Kane pok otieko lemo, Rebeka notucho kotingʼo dapige e goke. Ne en nyar Bethuel wuod Milka, mane chi Nahor owadgi Ibrahim.
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.
Nyakoni ne en jaber man-gi chia, mapok ongʼeyo dichwo! Nolor e soko, motwomo pi eka odwogo.
17 And the servant ran to meet her, and said, Let me, I pray thee, sip a little water out of thy pitcher.
Jatich Ibrahim noringo kadhi romone mi owachone niya, “Akwayi, yie imiyae pi mondo amodhi.”
18 And she said, Drink, my lord! And she hasted and let down her pitcher on her hand, and gave him to drink.
Eka nowacho niya, “Modhi, ruodha” kendo mapiyo nono noloro dapi e lwete momiye pi omodho.
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.
Bangʼ kane osemiye pi modho, nowachone niya, “Abiro dhi umbo pi ne ngamia magi bende, nyaka gitiek modho.”
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.
Omiyo noloko pi mapiyo nono e besen, moringo odok e soko omo pi kendo noomo moromo ngamiagego duto.
21 And the man was astonished at her, remaining silent, to know whether Jehovah had made his journey prosperous or not.
Jatich Ibrahim nolingʼ thi ma ok owuoyo, karange lingʼ-lingʼ mondo one ane ka Jehova Nyasaye osegwedho wuodhe.
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,
Kane ngamia-go osetieko modho, ngʼatno nogolo tere mar um mar dhahabu ma pekne romo achiel kuom apar mar kilo kod bangli ariyo mag dhahabu mapekgi oromo nus kilo.
23 and said, Whose daughter art thou? tell me, I pray thee. Is there room [in] thy father's house for us to lodge?
Eka nopenje niya, “In nyar ngʼa? Yie inyisa bende dwayudie kar nindo dalau?”
24 And she said to him, I am the daughter of Bethuel the son of Milcah, whom she bore to Nahor.
Nodwoke niya, “An nyar Bethuel, ma wuod Nahor gi Milka.”
25 And she said to him, There is straw, and also much provender with us; also room to lodge.
Kendo nomedo wacho niya, “Wan kod lum kod chiemb ngamia mangʼeny kaachiel gi ot ma unyalo nindoe.”
26 And the man stooped, and bowed down before Jehovah,
Ngʼatno nopodho auma molamo Jehova Nyasaye,
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.
kowacho niya, “Duongʼ odogne Jehova Nyasaye, ma Nyasach ruodha Ibrahim, ma ok oseweyo nyiso adierane gi ngʼwonone ne ruodha. To an, Jehova Nyasaye osetelona e wuoth nyaka e od wede ruodha.”
28 And the maiden ran and told these things to her mother's house.
Nyakono noringo modhi onyiso joodgi duto gik mane osetimorene.
29 And Rebecca had a brother, named Laban; and Laban ran out to the man, to the well.
Rebeka ne nigi owadgi miluongo ni Laban, kendo Laban noringo matek ka dhi ir ngʼatno mane ni e sokono.
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.
Kane Laban oseneno tere e um nyamin kod bangli ka ni e lwet nyamin kendo kane owinjo gima Rebeka wacho ni ngʼatno onyise, Laban nodhi ir ngʼatno moyude ka ochungʼ e bath ngamia-go machiegni gi soko.
31 And he said, Come in, blessed of Jehovah! why standest thou outside? for I have prepared the house, and room for the camels.
Laban nowachone niya, “Bi, in ngʼama Jehova Nyasaye ogwedho. Angʼo ma omiyo ichungʼ oko ka? Aseikoni ot kendo nitie kar ngamia bende.”
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.
Kuom mano ngʼatno nodonjo e ot kendo misike mane ngamia otingʼo nogol kuomgi. Nomigi lum kod chiembgi mi nokelo pi ne jatich Ibrahim kod joge mondo olwokgo tiendegi.
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.
Eka nokel chiemo ne jatich Ibrahim to nowachonegi niya, “Ok abi chiemo kapok anyisou gima onego awachnu.” Laban nowachone niya, “Kara nyiswa.”
34 And he said, I am Abraham's servant.
Kuom mano nowacho niya, “An jatich Ibrahim.
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.
Jehova Nyasaye osegwedho ruodha ahinya kendo osebedo jamoko. Osemiye rombe kod dhok, fedha kod dhahabu, jotich machwo kod mamon gi ngamia kod punde.
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.
Sara, jaod ruodha osenywolone wuowi ka hike oniangʼ kendo ruodha osemiyo wuodeno mwandune duto.
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;
Ruodha nomiyo akwongʼora kowacho ni, ‘Kik iyudne wuoda nyako kuom nyi Kanaan ma adakie lopgini,
38 but thou shalt by all means go to my father's house and to my family, and take a wife for my son.
to dhi e dala wuora kendo ir anywolana kendo iyudne nyako ne wuoda.’
39 And I said to my master, Perhaps the woman will not follow me?
“Eka ne apenjo ruodha ni, ‘Datim nangʼo ka nyakono ok oyie biro koda?’
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.
“Nodwoke ni, ‘Jehova Nyasaye, ma asebedo ka awuotho e nyime biro ori gi malaikane kendo obiro gwedho wuodhi, mondo mi iyudne wuoda nyako moa kuom anywolana kendo e od wuora.
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.
Ka idhi michopo ir jowa to singruogni ok nomaki, to bende ka gitamore miyi nyakono mondo ibigo, to kwongʼruokni ok nobed e wiyi.’
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,
“Kane abiro e soko kawuono, nawacho ni, ‘Yaye Jehova Nyasaye, Nyasach ruodha Ibrahim, kalongʼoni, to gwedh wuodhani.
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,
Ne, koro eri achungo e bath sokoni, ka jatich ma nyako obiro omo pi kendo awachone niya, “Yaye miyae pi amodhi,”
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.
kendo ka owachona niya, “Modhi, kendo abiro omo pi nyaka ne ngamia-gi bende,” to en ema mondo obed nyako ma Jehova Nyasaye oseyiero ne wuod ruodha.’
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.
“Kane pok atieko lemo e chunya, Rebeka nochopo ka otingʼo dapi e goke. Nolor e soko mondo otuom pi kendo nawachone ni, ‘Yaye miyae pi amodhi.’
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.
“Piyo piyo nono noyieyo pi piny mi owacho ni, ‘Modhi kendo abiro miyo ngamia magi bende pi.’ Kuom mano namodho, kendo ngamia bende nomodho.
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.
“Napenje ni, ‘In nyar ngʼa?’ “En to nodwoka ni, ‘An nyar Bethuel, wuod Nahor gi Milka.’ “Eka ne aketo tere e ume gi bangli e lwete,
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.
kendo napodho auma kalamo Jehova Nyasaye. Namiyo Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasach ruodha Ibrahim duongʼ, mane telona e yo maber mayudo nyako ma nyakwar owad gi ruodha ne wuode.
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.
Koro nyisauru kuyie timo ngʼwono kod adieri ne ruodha; to ka ok kamano to nyisa mondo mi angʼe kuma achomo.”
50 And Laban and Bethuel answered and said, The thing proceeds from Jehovah: we cannot speak to thee bad or good.
Laban kod Bethuel nodwoke niya, “Ma-oa kuom Jehova Nyasaye ok wanyal wachoni gimoro amora.
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.
Rebeka eri; kawe mondo udhi, kendo obed chi wuod ruodhi, mana kaka Jehova Nyasaye osechiko.”
52 And it came to pass, when Abraham's servant heard their words, that he bowed down to the earth before Jehovah.
Kane jatich Ibrahim owinjo gima negiwacho, nopodho auma e nyim Jehova Nyasaye.
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.
Eka jatich Ibrahim nogolo gik moko mag dhahabu kod mag fedha kod lewni mi nomiyogi Rebeka; kendo nochiwo mich ma nengogi tek ne owadgi kod min-gi.
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.
Eka jatich Ibrahim kod jogo mane ni kode nochiemo kendo ometho kendo ne ginindo kanyo. Kane gichiewo kinyne gokinyi nowacho niya, “Weuru adog ir ruodha.”
55 And her brother and her mother said, Let the maiden abide with us [some] days, or [say] ten; after that she shall go.
To owad gi Rebeka kod min-gi nodwoke niya, “We nyakoni odongʼ kodwa kuom ndalo apar kata moloyo kanyo; eka udhi.”
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.
To jatich Ibrahim nowachonegi niya, “Kik ugengʼna, to weyauru adog ir ruodha, nikech Jehova Nyasaye osegwedho wuodha.”
57 And they said, Let us call the maiden and inquire at her mouth.
Eka negiwacho niya, “We waluong nyako mondo wapenje kuom wachni.”
58 And they called Rebecca and said to her, Wilt thou go with this man? And she said, I will go.
Kuom mano negiluongo Rebeka kendo gipenje niya, “Inyalo dhi gi ngʼatni?” Rebeka nodwokogi niya, “Abiro dhi.”
59 And they sent away Rebecca their sister, and her nurse, and Abraham's servant, and his men.
Kuom mano ne giweyo Rebeka odhi kaachiel gi nyako mane opire kod jatich Ibrahim gi joge.
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!
Kendo negigwedho Rebeka kagiwachone niya, “Nyathiwa, bed min ji gana gi gana; mad nyikwayi medre ma kaw mier madongo mag wasikgi.”
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.
Eka Rebeka kod jotije ma nyiri noikore moidho ngamia-gi mi gidhi gi jatich Ibrahim. Kuom mano jatich Ibrahim nokawo Rebeka kendo gidhi.
62 And Isaac had just returned from Beer-lahai-roi; for he was dwelling in the south country.
Noyudo ka koro Isaka oa Beer-Lahai-Roi, nikech noyudo odak Negev.
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.
Ka noyudo owuotho e pap godhiambo chiengʼ moro ka owuoyo gi Nyasaye, kendo kane orango malo, noneno ngamia kabiro.
64 And Rebecca lifted up her eyes and saw Isaac, and she sprang off the camel.
Rebeka bende norango malo moneno Isaka. Nolor piny koa ewi ngamia
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.
kendo nopenjo jatich Ibrahim niya, “Macha en ngʼa manie pap mabiro romonwa cha?” Jatich nodwoke niya, “En ruodha.” Eka nokawo nanga ma oumogo wangʼe.
66 And the servant told Isaac all things that he had done.
Eka jatich nonyiso Isaka gik moko duto mane osetimo.
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.
Isaka notero Rebeka e hemb Sara min-gi, kendo Isaka nokendo Rebeka. Kuom mano Rebeka nobedo chi Isaka, kendo Isaka nohero Rebeka gihera mamalo; kendo Isaka ne ok obedo gi parruok bangʼ tho min mare.
