Genesis 24
1 Now Abraham was old; and advanced in age: and the Lord had blessed him 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 he said to the elder servant of his house, who was ruler over all he had: Put thy hand 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 That I may make thee swear by the Lord the God of heaven and earth, that thou take not a wife for my son, of the daughters of the Chanaanites, among whom I dwell:
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 that thou go to my own country and kindred, and take a wife from thence 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 The servant answered: If the woman will not come with me into this land, must I bring thy son back again to the place, from whence thou camest out?
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: Beware thou never bring my son back again thither.
Papa aku la o Aberahama ia ia, E ao oe, mai kai aku oe i ka'u keiki malaila.
7 The Lord God of heaven, who took me out of my father’s house, and out of my native country, who spoke to me, and swore to me, saying: To thy seed will I give this land: he will send his angel before thee, and thou shalt take from thence a wife for my son.
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 But if the woman will not follow thee, thou shalt not be bound by the oath; only bring not my son back 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 The servant therefore put his hand under the thigh of Abraham his lord, and swore to him upon this word.
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 he took ten camels of his master’s herd, and departed, carrying something of all his goods with him, and he set forward and went on to Mesopotamia to the city of Nachor.
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 when he had made the camels lie down without the town near a well of water in the evening, at the time when women are wont to come out to draw water, he said:
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 O Lord the God of my master Abraham, meet me today, I beseech thee, and show kindness to 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 nigh the spring of water, and the daughters of the inhabitants of this city will 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 Now, therefore, the maid to whom I shall say: Let down thy pitcher that I may drink: and she shall answer, Drink, and I will give thy camels drink also: let it be the same whom thou hast provided for thy servant Isaac: and by this I shall understand, that thou hast shown kindness to 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 He had not yet ended these words within himself, and behold Rebecca came out, the daughter of Bathuel, son of Melcha, wife to Nachor the brother of Abraham, having a pitcher on 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 An exceeding comely maid, and a most beautiful virgin, and not known to man: and she went down to the spring, and filled her pitcher and was coming back.
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: Give me a little water to drink 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 answered: Drink, my lord. And quickly she let down the pitcher upon her arm, and gave him 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 he had drunk, she said: I will draw water for thy camels also, till they all drink.
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 pouring out the pitcher into the troughs, she ran back to the well to draw water: and having drawn she gave to all the 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 But he musing beheld her with silence, desirous to know whether the Lord 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 after that the camels had drunk, the man took out golden earrings, weighing two sicles: and as many bracelets of ten sicles weight.
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 he said to her: Whose daughter art thou? tell me: is there any place in thy father’s house 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 answered: I am the daughter of Bathuel, the son of Melcha, whom she bore to Nachor.
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 moreover to him: We have good store of both straw and hay, and a large place to lodge in.
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 The man bowed himself down, and adored the Lord,
Kulou iho la ke poo o ua kanaka la, a hoomaikai aku la ia Iehova;
27 Saying: Blessed be the Lord God of my master Abraham, who hath not taken away his mercy and truth from my master, and hath brought me the straight way into the house of my master’s brother.
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 Then the maid ran, and told in her mother’s house, all that she had heard.
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, who went out in haste 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 when he had seen the earrings and bracelets in his sister’s hands, and had heard all that she related, saying: Thus and thus the man spoke to me: he came to the man who stood by the camels, and near to the spring of water,
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 said to him: Come in, thou blessed of the Lord: why standest thou without? I have prepared the house, and a place 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 he brought him in into his lodging: and he unharnessed the camels and gave straw and hay, and water to wash his feet, and the feet of the men that were come 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 bread was set before him. But he said: I will not eat, till I tell my message. He answered him: Speak.
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 the servant of Abraham:
I aku la ia, Owau no ke kauwa a Aberahama.
35 And the Lord hath blessed my master wonderfully, and he is become great: and he hath given him sheep and oxen, silver and gold, men servants and women servants, 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 Sara my master’s wife hath borne my master a son in her old age, and he hath given him all that he had.
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 Chanaanites, in whose land I dwell:
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 go to my father’s house, and shalt take a wife of my own kindred 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 But I answered my master: What if the woman will not come with me?
I aku la au i kuu haku, Ina paha aole e makemake ka wahine e hahai mai ia'u.
40 The Lord, said he, in whose sight I walk, will send his angel with thee, and will direct thy way: and thou shalt take a wife for my son of my own kindred, and 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 But thou shalt be clear from my curse, when thou shalt come to my kindred, if they will not give thee one.
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 today to the well of water, and said: O Lord God of my master Abraham, if thou hast prospered my way, wherein I now walk,
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 the virgin, that shall come out to draw water, who shall hear me say: Give me a little water to drink of thy pitcher:
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 shall say to me: Both drink thou, and I will also draw for thy camels: let the same be the woman, whom the Lord hath prepared 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 And whilst I pondered these things secretly with myself, Rebecca appeared coming with a pitcher, which she carried on her shoulder: and she went down to the well and drew water. And I said to her: Give me a little 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 speedily let down the pitcher from her shoulder, and said to me: Both drink thou, and to thy camels I will give drink. I drank, and she watered the camels.
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 answered: I am the daughter of Bathuel, the son of Nachor, whom Melcha bore to him. So I put earrings on her to adorn her face, and I put 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 falling down I adored the Lord, blessing the Lord God of my master Abraham, who hath brought me the straight way to take the daughter of my master’s brother 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 Wherefore if you do according to mercy and truth with my master, tell me: but if it please you otherwise, tell me that also, that I may go 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 Bathuel answered: The word hath proceeded from the Lord, we cannot speak any other thing to thee but his pleasure.
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 thy way, and let her be the wife of thy master’s son, as the Lord hath spoken.
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 Which when Abraham’s servant heard, falling down to the ground he adored the Lord.
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 bringing forth vessels of silver and gold, and garments, he gave them to Rebecca for a present. He offered gifts also to her brothers, and to her mother.
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 a banquet was made, and they ate and drank together, and lodged there. And in the morning, the servant arose, and said: Let me depart, that I may go 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 mother answered: Let the maid stay at least ten days with us, and afterwards she shall depart.
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 Stay me not, said he, because the Lord hath prospered my way: send me away, that I may 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 maid, and ask her will.
I mai la laua, E hea aku maua i ke kaikamahine, a e ninau aku ia ia.
58 And they called her, and when she was come, they asked: Wilt thou go with this man? 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 So they sent her away, and her nurse, and Abraham’s servant, and his company,
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 Wishing prosperity to their sister, and saying: Thou art our sister, mayst thou increase to thousands of thousands, and may thy seed possess the gates 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 So Rebecca and her maids, being set upon camels, followed the man: who with speed returned to his master.
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 At the same time Isaac was walking along the way to the well which is called Of the living and the seeing: for he dwelt 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 he was gone forth to meditate in the field, the day being now well spent: and when he had lifted up his eyes, he saw camels coming afar off.
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 Rebecca also, when she saw Isaac, lighted 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 said to the servant: Who is that man who cometh towards us along the field? And he said to her: That man is my master. But she quickly took her cloak, 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 that he had done.
A hai mai la ua kauwa la ia Isaaka i na mea a pau ana i hana'i.
67 Who brought her into the tent of Sara his mother, and took her to wife: and he loved her so much, that it moderated the sorrow which was occasioned by his mother’s death.
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.
