Genesis 24
1 Abraham by now was old, really old, and the Lord had blessed him in every possible way.
Ita, lakayen ni Abraham, lakay unayen, ket binendisionan ni Yahweh ni Abraham iti amin a banbanag.
2 At that time Abraham told his oldest servant who was in charge of his whole household, “Put your hand under my thigh,
Kinuna ni Abraham iti adipenna a kalakayan iti pagtaenganna ken isu ti mangimatmaton iti amin nga adda kenni Abraham, ''Ikabilmo ta imam iti baet dagiti luppok
3 and swear an oath by the Lord, the God of heaven and the God of earth, that you won't arrange for my son to marry any daughter of the these Canaanite people that I'm living among.
ket pagsapataenka kenni Yahweh, a Dios ti langit ken Dios ti daga, a saankanto a mangala iti asawa para iti anakko manipud kadagiti annak dagiti taga-Canaan, a nangaramidak iti pagtaengak.
4 Instead, go to my homeland where my relatives live, and find a wife there for my son Isaac.”
Ngem mapankanto iti pagiliak, ken kadagiti kabagiak, ket mangalaka iti asawa para iti anakko a ni Isaac.”
5 “What if the woman refuses to come back with me to this country?” the servant asked. “Should I take your son back to the country you came from?”
Kinuna ti adipen kenkuana, “Kasano no saan a kayat ti babai a sumurot kaniak iti daytoy a daga? Masapul kadi nga umayko ikuyog ti anakmo ket isublik iti daga a naggapuam?
6 “No, you mustn't take my son back there,” Abraham replied.
Kinuna ni Abraham kenkuana, “Siguradoem a saanmo nga isubli ti anakko sadiay!
7 “The Lord, the God of heaven, took me from my family home and my own country. He spoke to me and swore an oath to me in which he promised, ‘I will give this land to your descendants.’ He is the one who will send his angel ahead of you so that you can find a wife there for my son.
Ni Yahweh a Dios ti langit, a nangala kaniak manipud iti balay ni amak ken manipud iti daga dagiti kabagiak, ken nagkari kaniak babaen iti napasnek a sapata a kunana, 'Itedkonto kadagiti kaputotam daytoy a daga,' ibaonnanto ti anghelna nga umuna kenka, ket mangalakanto iti asawaen ti anakko manipud sadiay.
8 However, if the woman refuses to return here with you, then you are released from this oath. But make sure you don't take my son back there.”
Ngem no saan a kayat ti babai a sumurot kenka, mawayawayaankanto ngarud manipud iti daytoy a panagsapatam kaniak. Dayta laeng ta saan a mabalin nga isublim ti annakko sadiay.”
9 The servant put his hand under the thigh of his master Abraham and swore an oath to do as he had been told.
Isu nga inkabil ti adipen ti imana iti baet ti luppo ni Abraham nga apona, ket nagsapata kenkuana maipanggep iti daytoy a banag.
10 Then the servant arranged for ten of his master's camels to carry all kinds of valuable gifts from Abraham and left for the town of Nahor in Aram-naharaim.
Nangala ti adipen iti sangapulo a kamelio ti apona ket pimmanaw. Nangala pay isuna kadagiti amin a kita dagiti sagut manipud iti apona. Pimmanaw isuna ket napan iti rehion ti Aram Naharaim, iti siudad ni Nahor.
11 Arriving in the evening, he had the camels kneel down by the spring that was outside the town. This was the time when women went out to fetch water.
Pinaginanana dagiti kamelio iti ruar ti siudad iti abay ti bubon. Rabii idin, ti tiempo a panagruruar dagiti babbai a mapan agsakdo.
12 He prayed, “Lord, the God of my master Abraham, please let me be successful today, and please show your faithfulness to my master Abraham.
Ket kinunana, “Yahweh, Dios ti apok a ni Abraham, ipaaymo koma kaniak ti panagballigi iti daytoy nga aldaw ken ipakitam ti napudno a katulagam kenni apok a ni Abraham.
13 Look, I'm standing here beside this spring, and the young women of the town are coming to get water.
Kitaem, addaak ditoy nga agtaktakder iti abay ti ubbog, ket dagiti babbai a putot dagiti lallaki iti daytoy a siudad ket rummuarda nga umay agsakdo.
14 May it happen like this. The young woman that I ask, ‘Please hold your water jar so I can have a drink,’ and she replies, ‘Please drink, and I'll give your camels water too’ —may she be the one you've chosen as a wife for your servant Isaac. This way I'll know that you've shown your faithfulness to my master.”
Kastoy koma ngarud iti mapasamak. No ibagak iti maysa a balasang, 'Pangngaasim ta ibabam ta karambam tapno makiinumak,' ket kunaenna kaniak, 'Uminomka, ken painumek met dagiti kameliom,' ket isunanto ti intudingmo para iti adipenmo a ni Isaac. Babaen iti daytoy a maammoak nga impakitam ti kinapudnom iti tulagmo iti apok.”
15 He hadn't even finished praying when he saw Rebekah coming to get water, carrying her water jar on her shoulder. She was the daughter of Bethuel, son of Milkah. Milkah was the wife of Abraham's brother Nahor.
Napasamak a sakbay a nalpasna ti panagsaritana, adtoy met ni Rebecca a rimmuar nga addaan iti karamba iti abagana. Ni Rebecca ket putot ni Betuel nga anak a lalaki ni Milca nga asawa ni Nahor a kabsat a lalaki ni Abraham.
16 She was very beautiful, a virgin—no one had slept with her. She went down to the spring, filled her jar, and came back up.
Nakapinpintas unay ti balasang ken maysa isuna a birhen. Awan pay iti lalaki a nakikaidda kenkuana. Simmalog isuna iti ubbog ket pinunnona ti karambana, ket simmang-at.
17 The servant ran over to meet her and asked, “Please let me drink a few sips of water from your jar.”
Ket nagtaray ti adipen tapno sabtenna isuna ket kinunana, “Pangngaasim ta ikkannak iti bassit a mainum manipud dita karambam.”
18 “Please drink, my lord,” she replied. She quickly lifted the jar down from her shoulder and held it for him to drink.
Kinunana, Uminomka, apok,” ket dagdagus nga imbabana ti karamba kadagiti imana, ket pinainomna.
19 After she finished giving him a drink, she said, “Let me get water for your camels too until they've had enough.”
Idi nalpasna isuna a pinainom, kinunana, “Agsakdoakto met iti para kadagiti kameliom, agingga a malpasda nga uminom.”
20 She quickly emptied her jar into the trough and ran back to the spring to get more water. She brought enough for all his camels.
Isu a nagdardaras isuna ket imbukbokna ti nagyan iti karambana iti paginuman dagiti ayup, ket nagtaray manen a nagsubli idiay bubon tapno agsakdo, ket insakdoanna amin dagiti kamelio ti adipen.
21 The man observed her in silence to see if the Lord had made his journey successful or not.
Siuulimek a binuybuya isuna ti lalaki tapno makitana no pinagballigi ni Yahweh ti panagdaliasatna wenno saan.
22 Once the camels had finished drinking, he gave her a gold nose-ring and two heavy gold bracelets for her wrists.
Idi nalpas nga imminum dagiti kamelio, nangiruar ti lalaki iti balitok nga aritos ti agong nga agtimbang iti kagudua ti siklo, ken dua a pulseras a para kadagiti takyagna nga agdagsen iti sangapulo a siklo,
23 Then he asked her, “Whose daughter are you? Also could you tell me, is there room in your father's house for us to spend the night?”
ken sinaludsodna, “Siasino ti akin anak kenka? Pangngaasim ta ibagam kaniak, adda kadi siled idiay balay ni amam para kadakami a pagpalabasanmi iti rabii?”
24 She replied, “I'm the daughter of Bethuel, the son of Milcah and Nahor.” Then she added, “We have plenty of straw and food for the camels,
Kinuna ti balasang kenkuana, “Siak ket anak ni Betuel nga anak a lalaki ni Milca, nga inyanakna kenni Nahor.”
25 and yes, we have room for you to spend the night.”
Kinunana pay kenkuana, “Addaankami iti adu a garami ken makan, ken kasta met iti siled a para kenka a pagpalabasam ti rabii.”
26 The man kneeled down and bowed in worship to the Lord.
Ket nagkurno ti lalaki ken indaydayawna ni Yahweh.
27 “Thank you Lord, the God of my master Abraham,” he prayed. “You have not forgotten your commitment and faithfulness to my master. And Lord, you have led me directly to the home of my master's relatives!”
Kinunana, “Madaydayaw ni Yahweh a Dios ti amongko a ni Abraham, saanna a tinallikudan ti kinapudnona iti tulagna ken ti kinamapagtalkanna iti amongko. Iti biangko met, inturongnak a dagus ni Yahweh iti balay dagiti kabagian ti amongko.”
28 She ran to her mother's house and told her family what had happened.
Kalpasanna, nagtaray ti balasang ket napanna imbaga iti sangkabalayan ni nanangna ti maipanggep kadagitoy amin a banbanag.
29 Rebekah had a brother named Laban, and he ran out to meet the man who had remained at the spring.
Ita, addaan ni Rebecca iti kabsat a lalaki, ket Laban ti naganna. Nagtaray ni Laban iti ruar, iti ayan ti lalaki nga adda iti kalsada iti abay ti ubbog.
30 He'd noticed the nose-ring and the bracelets she was wearing, and he'd heard his sister Rebekah explaining, “This is what the man told me.” When he arrived the man was still there, standing with his camels beside the spring.
Idi nakitana ti aritos ti agong ken dagiti pulseras iti takiag ti kabsatna, ken idi nangngeganna dagiti sinao ni Rebecca a kabsatna, “Daytoy ti imbaga ti lalaki kaniak,” napan isuna iti ayan ti lalaki, ket adda sadiay nga agtaktakder iti abay dagiti kamelio iti ayan ti ubbog.
31 “Please come home with me, you who are blessed by the Lord,” said Laban. “What are you standing out here for? I've got a room at home ready for you, and a place for the camels to stay.”
Ket kinuna ni Laban, “Umayka, sika a binendisionan ni Yahweh. Apay nga agtaktakderka dita ruar? Insaganak ti balay ken ti disso a para kadagiti kamelio.”
32 So the man went home with him. Laban unloaded the camels and gave them straw and food to eat. He also provided water for the man to wash his feet, as well as for the men who were with him.
Isu a napan ti lalaki iti balay ket inikkatna dagiti awit dagiti kamelio. Ket naikkan dagiti kamelio ti garami ken makan, ket naipaayan met iti danum a pangbuggona kadagiti sakana kasta met dagiti saka dagiti lallaki a kakaduana.
33 Then Laban had food brought in. But the man told him, “I'm not going to eat until I've explained why I'm here.” “Please explain,” Laban replied.
Nangisaganada iti taraon iti sagoananna tapno mangan, ngem kinunana, “Saanak a mangan agingga a maibagak no ania ti masapul nga ibagak.” Isu a kinuna ni Laban, “Agsaoka”
34 “I'm Abraham's servant,” the man began.
Kinunana, “Adipennak ni Abraham.
35 “The Lord has blessed my master so much, and now he is a wealthy and powerful man. The Lord has given him sheep and cattle, silver and gold, male and female servants, and camels and donkeys.
Binendisionan ni Yahweh ti apok iti kasta unay ket nagbalin a naindaklan. Inikkanna isuna kadagiti karnero ken kadagiti kalding, pirak ken balitok, kadagiti lallaki nga adipen ken kadagiti babbai nga adipen, ken kadagiti kamelio ken kadagiti asno.
36 His wife Sarah has had a son for my master even in her old age, and my master has given him everything he owns.
Ni Sarah nga asawa ti apok ket nangipasngay iti maysa a lalaki kenni amongko idi baketen isuna, ket intedna amin a banbanag a sanikuana kenkuana.
37 My master made me swear an oath, saying, ‘You must not arrange for my son to marry any daughter of the Canaanite people in whose land I'm living.
Pinagsapatanak ti apok, a kinunana, 'Masapul a saanka a mangala iti asawa a para iti anakko manipud kadagiti annak a babbai dagiti taga-Canaan, daga a nangaramidak iti pagtaengak.
38 Instead, go to my family home where my relatives live, and find a wife there for my son Isaac.’
Ngem ketdi, masapul a mapanka iti pamilia ni tatangko, ken kadagiti kabagiak, ket mangalaka iti asawaen ti anakko.'
39 I said to my master, ‘What if the woman refuses to come back with me?’
Kinunak iti apok, 'Nalabit a saanto a sumurot kaniak ti babai.
40 He told me, ‘The Lord, in whose presence I have lived my life, will send his angel with you, and he will make your journey successful—you will find a wife for my son from my relatives, from my father's family.
Ngem kinunana kaniak, 'Ni Yahweh, a pagtultulnogak, ket ibaonnanto ti anghelna a kumuyog kenka ket pagballigiennanto ti dalanmo, tapno iti kasta ket mangalaka iti asawaen ti anakko manipud kadagiti kabagiak ken manipud iti linya ti pamilia ni tatangko.
41 You will be released from the oath you swear to me if, when you go to my family, they refuse to let her return with you.’
Ngem mawayawayaankanto manipud iti sinapataam kaniak no mapanka kadagiti kabagiak ket saanda nga ited isuna kenka. Ket mawayawayaankanto manipud iti sinapataam kaniak.'
42 Today when I arrived at the spring, I prayed, Lord, God of my master Abraham, please let the journey I have taken be successful.
Simmangpetak ngarud ita nga aldaw iti ayan ti ubbog, ket kinunak, 'O Yahweh, Dios ti apok a ni Abraham, pangngaasim, no pudno a panggepmo a pagballigien ti panagdaliasatko—
43 Look, I'm standing here beside this spring. May it happen like this. If a young woman comes to get water, and I say, ‘Please give me a few sips of water to drink,’
addaak ditoy nga agtaktakder iti abay ti ubbog—Ti koma balasang nga umay agsakdo, iti babai a pangibagaak, “Pangngaasim ta ikkannak iti bassit a danum nga inumek manipud dita karambam,”
44 and she says to me, ‘Please drink, and I'll get water for your camels too’ —may she be the one you've chosen as a wife for your servant Isaac.”
ti babai a mangibaga kaniak, “Uminomka, ket sumakdoakto met para kadagiti kameliom”— ket isuna ti babai nga inkapinili, Yahweh, para iti putot ti apok.'
45 “I hadn't even finished praying silently when I saw Rebekah coming to get water, carrying her water jar on her shoulder. She went down to the spring to get water, and I said to her, ‘Please give me a drink.’
Sakbay pay a nalpasak nga agsarita iti pusok, pagammoan, simmangpet ni Rebecca nga awitna ti karambana iti abagana ket simmalog idiay ubbog ket nagsakdo. Isu a kinunak kenkuana, 'Pangngaasim ta painumennak.'
46 She quickly lifted the jar down from her shoulder and she said, ‘Please drink, and I'll get water for your camels too.’ So I drank, and she got water for the camels.
Dagus nga imbabana ti karambana manipud iti abagana ket kinunana, 'Uminumka, ket painumek met dagiti kameliom.' Imminomak ngarud, ket pinainomna met dagiti kamelio.
47 I asked her, ‘Whose daughter are you?’ She replied, ‘I'm the daughter of Bethuel, the son of Milcah and Nahor.’ So I put the ring in her nose, and the bracelets on her wrists.
Ket dinamagko kenkuana, 'Siasino ti akin anak kenka? Kinunana, 'Putotnak ni Betuel a putot ni Nahor, nga impasngay ni Milca kenkuana.' Ket inkabilko ti aritos iti agongna ken dagiti pulseras kadagiti takiagna.
48 Then I kneeled down and bowed in worship to the Lord. I thanked the Lord, the God of my master Abraham, for he led me directly to find my master's niece for his son.
Kalpasanna, nagkurnoak ket nagdaydayawak kenni Yahweh, indaydayawko ni Yahweh a Dios ti apok a ni Abraham, nga isu iti nangidalan kaniak iti umno a dalan tapno masarakak ti anak dagiti kabagian ti amongko para iti anakna.
49 So please tell me now, will you show commitment and faithfulness to my master? Please tell me yes or no so I can decide what to do next.”
Ita ngarud, no nakasaganakayo a mangpadayaw iti apok babaen iti kinapudnoyo ken kinamapagtalkan iti pamilya, ibagayo kaniak. Ngem no saan, ibagayo kaniak, tapno ammok ti aramidek.”
50 Laban and Bethuel replied, “Clearly all this is from the Lord, so we can't argue one way or the other.
Ket simmungbat da Laban ken Betuel a kinunada, “Ti banag ket naggapu kenni Yahweh; saankami a mabalin nga agsarita iti nasayaat wenno dakes kenka.
51 Rebekah's here, you can take her and leave. She can become the wife of your master's son, as the Lord has decided.”
Adtoy ni Rebecca iti sangoanam. Alaem isuna ket mapankayo, tapno agbalin nga asawa ti anak ti apom, kas imbaga ni Yahweh.”
52 As soon as Abraham's servant heard their decision, he bowed down in worship to the Lord.
Idi nangngegan ti adipen ni Abraham dagiti sinaoda, nagpakleb iti daga para kenni Yahweh.
53 Then he unpacked silver and gold jewelry and expensive clothes and gave them to Rebekah. He also gave valuable presents to her brother and her mother.
Inruar ti adipen dagiti banbanag a pirak, ken banbanag a balitok, ken pagan-anay, ket intedna kenni Rebecca. Inikkanna met iti napapateg a sagut ti kabsatna a lalaki ken ni nanangna.
54 He and the men with him ate and drank, and spent the night there. When they got up in the morning, he said, “Let me leave now and go home to my master.”
Ket nangan ken imminom isuna ken dagiti lallaki a kaduana. Ket nagtalinaedda sadiay iti nagpatnag, ket idi bimmangonda iti kabigatan, kinunana, “Palubosandak a mapan iti apok.”
55 But her brother and her mother said, “Let her stay with us for another ten days or so. She can leave after that.”
Kinuna ti kabsat a lalaki ken ti nanang ni Rebecca, “Agtalinaed pay koma ti balasang kadakami iti sumagmamano pay nga al-aldaw, uray sangapulo laeng. Kalpasan dayta, mabalinna ti mapan.”
56 “Please don't delay me,” he told them. “The Lord has made my journey successful, so let me leave and go back to my master.”
Ngem kinunana kadakuada, “Saandak a lappedan, agsipud ta pinagballigi ni Yahweh ti panagdaliasatko. Palubosandak a pumanaw tapno mapanak kenni amongko.”
57 “Let's call Rebekah and find out what she wants to do,” they suggested.
Kinunada, “Ayabanmi ti balasang ket saludsodenmi isuna.”
58 They called Rebekah in and asked her, “Do you want to go with this man now?” “Yes, I'll go,” she replied.
Isu nga inayabanda ni Rebecca ket sinaludsodda kenkuana, “Sumurotka kadi iti daytoy a lalaki?” Simmungbat isuna, “Sumurotak.”
59 So they let Laban's sister Rebekah leave with Abraham's servant and his men, together with the woman who had nursed her as a child.
Pinalubosanda ngarud ni Rebecca, a kaduana dagiti adipenna a babbai, iti panagdaliasatna a kadua ti adipen ni Abraham ken dagiti lallaki a kaduana.
60 They asked a blessing on her, saying, “Our dear sister, may you become the mother to thousands and thousands of descendants, and may they conquer their enemies.”
Binendisionanda ni Rebecca, a kinunada kenkuana, “Kabsatmi a babai, agbalinka koma nga ina iti rinibribu ti sangapulo a ribu, ken tagikuaen koma dagiti pulim ti ruangan dagiti manggura kadakuada.”
61 Then Rebekah and her servant girls got on the camels. They followed Abraham's servant and left.
Kalpasanna, nagrubbuat ni Rebecca ket insaganana ken dagiti adipenna a babbai dagiti kamelio, ket simmurotda iti lalaki. Kastoy ti panangala ti adipen kenni Rebecca, ket napan iti dalanna.
62 Meanwhile Isaac, who was living in the Negev, had just come back from Beer-lahai-roi.
Ita, ni Isaac ket agnanaed idiay Negeb, ket kasubsublina laeng manipud Beer-lahai-roi.
63 He went out into the fields one evening to think things over. He looked into the distance and saw camels coming.
Rimmuar ni Isaac tapno mapan agpanunot iti kataltalunan iti rabii, ket idi timmangad isuna ken kimmita, pagammoan ket adda nakitana a sumagmamano a kamelio a sumungsungad!
64 Rebekah was also keeping a look out. When she saw Isaac, she got down from her camel.
Kimmita ni Rebecca, ket idi nakitana ni Isaac, limmagto nga immulog iti kamelio.
65 She asked the servant, “Who is this walking through the fields to meet us?” “He's my master, Isaac,” he replied. So she put on her veil to cover herself.
Kinunana iti adipen, “Siasino dayta a lalaki a magmagna idiay taltalon a sumabat kadatayo?” Kinuna ti adipen, “Ti apok.” Isu nga innalana ti dalungdongna, ket inabbunganna ti ulona.
66 The servant told Isaac everything he'd done.
Imbaga ti adipen kenni Isaac dagiti amin a banbanag nga inaramidna.
67 Isaac took Rebekah into his mother Sarah's tent, and he married her. He loved her, and she brought him comfort after his grief over his mother's death.
Ket impan ni Isaac ni Rebecca idiay tolda ni Sarah nga inana ket innalana daytoy, ket nagbalin nga asawana ken inayatna. Naliwliwa ngarud ni Isaac kalpasan a natay ni nanangna.
