< Genesis 24 >

1 And Abraham was old, [and] advanced in age; and Jehovah had blessed Abraham in all things.
U A elemakule o Aberahama, ua nui no hoi kona mau la, a ua hoopomaikai o Iehova ia Aberahama i na mea a pau.
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,
I aku la o Aberahama i ke kauwa kahiko o kona hale, i ka mea ia ia ka malama i kona mea a pau, E, e kau mai oe i kou lima malalo iho o ko'u uha:
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;
A na'u no e haawi aku ia oe e hoohiki ma o Iehova la, ma ke Akua o ka lani, a ke Akua o ka honua; i lawe ole ai oe i wahine na ka'u keiki na Isaaka, no na kaikamahine a ko Kanaana ka poe a'u o noho nei iwaena.
4 but thou shalt go to my land and to my kindred, and take a wife for my son Isaac.
Aka, e hele aku oe i ko'u aina, a i ko'u poe hoahanau, a e lawe mai i wahine na ka'u keiki na Isaaka.
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?
I mai la ua kauwa nei ia ia, Ina paha aole e makemake ka wahine e hahai mai ia'u a hiki i keia aina: e pono anei ia'u e kai aku i kau keiki i ka aina au i hele mai nei?
6 And Abraham said to him, Beware that thou bring not my son thither again.
Papa aku la o Aberahama ia ia, E ao oe, mai kai aku oe i ka'u keiki malaila.
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.
Na Iehova ke Akua o ka lani, nana au i lawe, mai ka hale mai o ko'u makuakane, a mai ka aina mai o ko'u poe hoahanau, a olelo mai ia'u, a hoohiki mai no hoi ia'u, i ka i ana mai, E haawi auanei au i keia aina no kau poe mamo; nana no e hoouna aku i kona anela mamua ou, a e lawe mai oe i wahine na ka'u keiki mailaila mai.
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.
A i makemake ole ka wahine e hahai mai ia oe, alaila e hala ole oe i keia hoohiki ana no'u: aka, mai kai aku oe i ka'u keiki ilaila.
9 And the servant put his hand under the thigh of Abraham his master, and swore unto him concerning that matter.
A kau iho la ke kauwa i kona lima malalo iho o ka uha o Aberahama kona haku, a hoohiki iho la nona ma ia mea.
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.
Lalau aku la ua kauwa la i na kamelo o kona haku he umi, no ka mea, ma kona lima ka waiwai a pau o kona haku: ku ae la ia, a hele aku la i Mesopotamia, i ke kulanakauhale o Nahora.
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].
Hookukuli iho la ia i kona mau kamelo mawaho o ke kulanakauhale, ma ka luawai, i ke ahiahi, i ka manawa e hele mai ai na wahine e huki wai.
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.
I aku la ia, E Iehova ke Akua o kuu haku o Aberahama, ke pule aku nei au ia oe, e hoopomaikai mai oe ia'u i keia la, a e lokomaikai mai oe i kuu haku ia Aberahama,
13 Behold, I stand [here] by the well of water, and the daughters of the men of the city come out to draw water.
Eia au ke ku nei ma ka luawai; a e hele mai ana na kaikamahine a na kanaka o ke kulanakauhale e huki i ka wai:
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.
E ae mai oe, o ke kaikamahine a'u e olelo aku ai, Ke noi aku nei au ia oe, e kuu iho oe i kou bakeke, i inu ai au; a e i mai oia, E inu oe, a e hoohainu hoi au i na kamelo: oia no ka mea au i koho ai na kau kauwa na Isaaka: ilaila au e ike ai i kau lokomaikai ana mai i kuu haku.
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.
Aole ia i hooki iho i kana olelo ana, Aia hoi, hiki mai la o Rebeka, ka mea i hanau na Betuela, na ke keikikane a Mileka a ka wahine a Nahora, ko Aberahama kaikuaana, me kona bakeke maluna o kona poohiwi.
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.
Ua maikai ka maka o ua kaikamahine la ke nanaia'ku, he wahine puupaa, aole i ikeia e kekahi kane: iho iho la ia ma ka luawai, hoopiha iho la i kona bakeke, a hoi mai la iluna.
17 And the servant ran to meet her, and said, Let me, I pray thee, sip a little water out of thy pitcher.
Holo aku la ua kauwa la e halawai me ia, i aku la, E, ke noi aku nei au ia oe, e ho mai no'u i wahi wai o kou bakeke e inu.
18 And she said, Drink, my lord! And she hasted and let down her pitcher on her hand, and gave him to drink.
I mai la kela, E inu oe, e kuu haku a wikiwiki oia i kuu iho i kona bakeke ma kona lima, a hoohainu mai la ia ia.
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.
A pau kana hoohainu ana ia ia, i mai la ia, E huki hoi au i ka wai no kou mau kamelo, a pau ko lakou inu ana.
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.
Wikiwiki ae la ia, a ninini iho la i ka wai o kona bakeke iloko o ke pa, a holo hou ae la i ka luawai e huki ai, a huki mai la ia no kona poe kamelo a pau.
21 And the man was astonished at her, remaining silent, to know whether Jehovah had made his journey prosperous or not.
Mahalo iho la ka naau o ua kanaka la ia ia, aole ia i ekemu aku, i mea e ike ai oia, i ka hoopomaikai ana mai paha o Iehova i kona hele ana mai, aole paha.
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,
A pau ka inu ana o na kamelo, lawe ae la ua kanaka la i kekahi apo gula no ka ihu, he hapalua o ka sekela ma ke kaupouna ana, me na kupee gula elua no kona mau lima, he umi [na sekela] ma ke kaupouna ana;
23 and said, Whose daughter art thou? tell me, I pray thee. Is there room [in] thy father's house for us to lodge?
Ninau aku la ia, He kaikamahine oe nawai? ke noi aku nei au ia oe, e hai mai ia'u: a he wahi kaawale no anei iloko o ka hale o kou makuakane e moe ai makou?
24 And she said to him, I am the daughter of Bethuel the son of Milcah, whom she bore to Nahor.
I mai la kela ia ia, Owau no ke kaikamahine a Betuela a ke keiki a Mileka, ana i hanau ai na Nahora.
25 And she said to him, There is straw, and also much provender with us; also room to lodge.
I hou mai la hoi kela ia ia, He mauu maloo no a he ai na na holoholona ia makou a nui, a he wahi no hoi e moe ai.
26 And the man stooped, and bowed down before Jehovah,
Kulou iho la ke poo o ua kanaka la, a hoomaikai aku la ia Iehova;
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.
I aku la, E hoomaikaiia'ku o Iehova ke Akua o kuu haku o Aberahama, aole ia i hoonele mai i kuu haku i kona aloha a me kona oiaio: ma ke alanui wau, a ua alakai aku o Iehova ia'u ma ka hale o na hoahanau o kuu haku.
28 And the maiden ran and told these things to her mother's house.
Holo aku la ua kaikamahine la, a hai aku la i ko ka hale o kona makuwahine ia mau mea.
29 And Rebecca had a brother, named Laban; and Laban ran out to the man, to the well.
He kaikunane ko Rebeka, o Labana kona inoa; a holo mai la o Labana iwaho i ua kanaka la, ma ka luawai.
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.
A ike aku la ia i ke apo no ka ihu, a me na kupee lima ma na lima o kona kaikuwahine, a lohe aku la ia i ka olelo a kona kaikuwahine a Rebeka, i ka i ana mai, Pela i olelo mai ai ke kanaka ia'u; hele mai la ia i ua kanaka nei; aia hoi, ku iho la ia me na kamelo ma ka luawai.
31 And he said, Come in, blessed of Jehovah! why standest thou outside? for I have prepared the house, and room for the camels.
I mai la ia, E ka mea i alohaia e Iehova, e komo mai oe; heaha kau e ku wale nei iwaho? no ka mea, ua hoomakaukau iho nei au i ka hale, a me ka wahi no na kamelo.
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.
Komo aku la ua kanaka la iloko o ka hale: wehe ae la ia i na kamelo, a haawi aku la i ka mauu maloo a me ka mea ai na na kamelo, a me ka wai e holoi i kona mau wawae, a me na wawae o na kanaka me ia.
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.
A laweia mai ka ai nana: i aku la oia, Aole au e ai, a hai e aku au mamua i ka'u mea i hele mai nei. I mai la kela, E hai mai.
34 And he said, I am Abraham's servant.
I aku la ia, Owau no ke kauwa a Aberahama.
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.
Ua hoopomaikai nui mai o Iehova i kuu haku; a ua lilo ia i mea nui: ua haawi mai ia nana i hipa, a me na bipi, i ke kala a me ke gula, i na kauwakane a me na kauwawahine, i na kamelo a me na hoki.
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.
A hanau mai la o Sara ka wahine a kuu haku i keikikane nana i kona wa luwahine, a ua haawi aku kela i kona waiwai a pau nona.
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;
A ua haawi mai kuu haku ia'u e hoohiki, i ka i ana mai, Mai lawe oe i wahine na kuu keiki no na kaikamahine a ko Kanaana, nona keia wahi a'u e noho nei:
38 but thou shalt by all means go to my father's house and to my family, and take a wife for my son.
Aka, e hele oe i ka ohana a kuu maknakane, a i ko'u poe hoahanau, a e lawe mai oe i wahine na kuu keiki.
39 And I said to my master, Perhaps the woman will not follow me?
I aku la au i kuu haku, Ina paha aole e makemake ka wahine e hahai mai ia'u.
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.
I mai la kela ia'u, Na Iehova, na ka Mea imua ona ko'u hele ana, nana no e hoouna aku i kona anela me oe, a e hoopomaikai i kou hele ana; a e lawe mai oe i wahine na kuu keiki no ko'u poe hoahanau, a no ka ohana a ko'u makuakane:
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.
Alaila, e hala ole oe i kuu hoohiki ana, ke hiki aku oe i ko'u poe hoahanau, a haawi ole mai lakou ia oe, alaila e hala ole oe i kuu hoohiki ana.
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,
A hiki mai la au i keia la i ka luawai, i aku la, E Iehova ke Akua o kuu haku o Aberahama, ina oe e hoopomaikai mai i kuu hele ana e hele nei:
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,
Eia wau, ke ku nei ma ka luawai, a i ka manawa e hele mai ai ka wahine puupaa e huki wai ai, a e i aku au ia ia, Ke noi aku nei au ia oe, e haawi mai no'u i wahi wai o kou bakeke e inu;
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.
A e olelo mai oia ia'u, E inu oe, a e huki hoi au no kou mau kamelo; oia ka wahine a Iehova i koho ai na ke keiki a ko'u haku.
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.
Aole au i hooki iho i ka olelo ana iloko o kuu naau, aia hoi, puka mai la o Rebeka, me kona bakeke maluna o kona poohiwi; iho iho la ia ma ka luawai, a huki mai la: i aku la au ia ia, Ke noi aku nei au ia oe, e haawi mai no'u e inu.
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.
Wikiwiki iho la ia, a kuu iho la i kona bakeke mailuna iho ona, i mai la, E inu oe, a e hooinu hoi au i kou mau kamelo: inu iho la no au, a hooinu aku la hoi oia i na kamelo.
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.
Ninau aku la au ia ia, i aku la, He kaikamahine oe nawai? I mai la kela, He kaikamahine na Betuela ke keiki a Nahora, na ka mea a Mileka i hanau ai nana: a lou aku la au i ke apo ma kona ihu, a me na kupee lima ma kona mau lima.
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.
Kulou iho la au i kuu poo, a hoomana aku la ia Iehova, a hoomaikai aku la ia Iehova i ke Akua o kun haku o Aberahama, nana au i alakai ma ke ala pono, i lawe au i ke kaikamahine a ka hoahanau o kuu haku i wahine na kana keiki.
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.
Ano la, a i manao lokomaikai io mai oukou i kuu haku, e hai mai ia'u: a i ole, e hai mai hoi; i huli aku ai au i ka akau paha, i ka hema paha.
50 And Laban and Bethuel answered and said, The thing proceeds from Jehovah: we cannot speak to thee bad or good.
Alaila, olelo mai la o Labana laua o Betuela, i mai la, No Iehova mai ia mea; aole e hiki ia maua ke olelo aku ia oe he hewa, aole hoi he pono.
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.
Aia hoi o Rebeka imua o kou alo, e lawe oe ia ia a e hele aku, i lilo ai ia i wahine na ke keiki a kou haku, e like me ka Iehova i olelo mai ai.
52 And it came to pass, when Abraham's servant heard their words, that he bowed down to the earth before Jehovah.
A lohe ae la ke kanwa a Aberahama i ka laua olelo, hoomana aku la ia ia Iehova, [e kulou ana] i ka honua.
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.
Lawe mai la ua kauwa la i na mea kala a me na mea gula, a me na aahu, a haawi aku la ia mau mea no Rebeka: haawi aku la hoi oia i na mea maikai na kona kaikunane a me kona makuwahine.
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.
Ai iho la lakou a inu hoi, oia a me na kanaka me ia, a moe iho la ia po. Ala ae la lakou i kakahiaka, i aku la ia, E kuu aku oukou ia'u e hele i ko'u haku.
55 And her brother and her mother said, Let the maiden abide with us [some] days, or [say] ten; after that she shall go.
I mai la kona kaikunane laua o kona makuwahine, E noho no ke kaikamahine me makou i kekahi mau la, i umi paha: a mahope aku e hele no ia.
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.
I aku la kela ia laua, Mai keakea mai olua ia'u, no ka mea, ua hoopomaikai mai o Iehova i kuu hele ana mai; e kuu aku oukou ia'u e hele aku ai i ko'u haku.
57 And they said, Let us call the maiden and inquire at her mouth.
I mai la laua, E hea aku maua i ke kaikamahine, a e ninau aku ia ia.
58 And they called Rebecca and said to her, Wilt thou go with this man? And she said, I will go.
Hea aku la laua ia Rebeka, ninau aku la ia ia, E aku oe e hele pu me keia kanaka? I mai la kela, E hele wau.
59 And they sent away Rebecca their sister, and her nurse, and Abraham's servant, and his men.
Kuu aku la laua ia Rebeka o ko laua kaikuwahine, me kona kahu, a me ke kauwa a Aberahama, a me na kanaka ona.
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!
Hoomaikai aku la laua ia Rebeka, i aku la, O oe no ko maua kaikuwahine, e lilo oe i makuwahine o na tausani miliona: e lilo hoi no kau poe mamo, ka pukapa o ka poe inaina aku ia lakou.
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.
Ku ae la o Rebeka, me kona mau wahine, holo mai la lakou maluna o na kamelo, e hahai ana i ua kanaka la: a lawe ae la ua kauwa la ia Rebeka, a hoi mai la.
62 And Isaac had just returned from Beer-lahai-roi; for he was dwelling in the south country.
I hele mai la o Isaaka ma ke alanui o ka punawai Lahairoi: no ka mea, i noho no ia ma ka aina kukuluhema.
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.
Hele aku la o Isaaka ma ke kula e noonoo ai i ka wa ahiahi: alawa ae la kona mau maka iluna, aia hoi na kamelo e hoi mai ana.
64 And Rebecca lifted up her eyes and saw Isaac, and she sprang off the camel.
Nana mai la o Rebeka, a ike mai la oia ia Isaaka, lele iho la ia mai luna iho o ke kamelo.
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.
No ka mea, ua ninau aku ia i ua kauwa la, Owai ia kanaka e hele mai ana i ke kula e halawai me kakou? a ua i mai ke kauwa, O kuu haku no ia: no ia mea, lawe ae la ia i ka pale, a hoouhi iho la ia ia iho.
66 And the servant told Isaac all things that he had done.
A hai mai la ua kauwa la ia Isaaka i na mea a pau ana i hana'i.
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.
Alakai aku la o Isaaka ia ia maloko o ka halelewa o kona makuwahine o Sara; lawe aku la oia ia Rebeka, a lilo iho la ia i wahine nana, a aloha ae la oia ia ia. A ua hooluoluia o Isaaka no kona makuwahine.
