Genesis 24
1 Abraham by now was old, really old, and the Lord had blessed him in every possible way.
Un Ābrahāms bija vecs un labi piedzīvojis, un Tas Kungs Ābrahāmu bija svētījis ar visām lietām.
2 At that time Abraham told his oldest servant who was in charge of his whole household, “Put your hand under my thigh,
Tad Ābrahāms sacīja uz savu kalpu, to vecāko savā namā, kas valdīja pār visu, kas viņam bija:
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.
Liec jel savu roku apakš manas ciskas, tad es tev likšu zvērēt pie Tā Kunga, tā debes' Dieva un tā zemes Dieva, ka tev manam dēlam nebūs sievu ņemt no Kanaāniešu meitām, kuru vidū es dzīvoju,
4 Instead, go to my homeland where my relatives live, and find a wife there for my son Isaac.”
Bet ka tev būs iet uz manu zemi un pie maniem radiem un manam dēlam Īzakam sievu ņemt.
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?”
Tad tas kalps uz viņu sacīja: ja tā sieva negribēs man nākt līdzi uz šo zemi, vai man tad tavu dēlu atkal būs aizvest uz to zemi, no kurienes tu izgājis?
6 “No, you mustn't take my son back there,” Abraham replied.
Un Ābrahāms uz to sacīja: sargies, ka tu manu dēlu uz turieni nevedi atpakaļ.
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.
Tas Kungs, tas debes' Dievs, kas mani ņēmis no mana tēva nama un no manas dzimtenes un kas ar mani runājis un kas man zvērējis sacīdams: tavam dzimumam Es došu šo zemi, - Tas sūtīs Savu eņģeli tavā priekšā, ka tu manam dēlam vari ņemt sievu no turienes.
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.”
Bet ja tā sieva tev negribēs iet līdz, tad tu būsi vaļā no šī mana zvēresta; tikai neved manu dēlu atpakaļ uz turieni.
9 The servant put his hand under the thigh of his master Abraham and swore an oath to do as he had been told.
Un tas kalps lika savu roku apakš Ābrahāma, sava kunga, ciskas, un tam zvērēja par šo lietu.
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.
Tad tas kalps ņēma desmit kamieļus no sava kunga kamieļiem un aizgāja, un visāda viņa kunga manta bija viņa rokā; un viņš cēlās un gāja uz Mezopotamiju, uz Nahora pilsētu.
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.
Un viņš tiem kamieļiem lika apmesties ārā priekš pilsētas pie vienas ūdens akas ap vakara laiku, tai laikā, kad tās smēlējas ārā nāca, un viņš sacīja:
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.
Kungs, Tu mana kunga Ābrahāma Dievs, lai man šodien izdodas un dari žēlastību pie mana kunga Ābrahāma.
13 Look, I'm standing here beside this spring, and the young women of the town are coming to get water.
Redzi, es stāvu pie ūdens akas, un šīs pilsētas ļaužu meitas nāks ārā ūdeni smelt.
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.”
Tad lai notiek, ka tā jauna meita, uz ko es sacīšu, pasniedz jel savu trauku, ka es varu dzert, - un tā sacīs, dzer, es tavus kamieļus arīdzan dzirdināšu, - ka tā ir tā, ko Tu Savam kalpam Īzakam novēlējis, un ka es pie tā varu atzīt, ka Tu žēlastību esi parādījis manam kungam.
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.
Un notikās, pirms nekā tas bija pabeidzis runāt, redzi, tad nāca Rebeka ārā, kas bija dzimusi Betuēlim, Milkas, Ābrahāma brāļa, Nahora, sievas dēlam; un tai bija viņas trauks uz pleca.
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.
Un tai meitiņai bija ļoti skaists vaigs; tā bija jumprava un neviens vīrs to nebija atzinis; tā nokāpa akā un piepildīja savu trauku un atkal uzkāpa.
17 The servant ran over to meet her and asked, “Please let me drink a few sips of water from your jar.”
Tad tas kalps steidzās viņai pretī un sacīja: ļauj man jel kādu ūdens malciņu no tava trauka nodzerties.
18 “Please drink, my lord,” she replied. She quickly lifted the jar down from her shoulder and held it for him to drink.
Un tā sacīja: dzer, mans kungs! Un tā steidzās un nolaida to trauku uz savu roku un deva tam dzert.
19 After she finished giving him a drink, she said, “Let me get water for your camels too until they've had enough.”
Un kad tā viņam bija devusi dzert, tad tā sacīja: es smelšu arī priekš taviem kamieļiem, kamēr tie būs padzirdīti.
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.
Un tā steidzās un izlēja savu trauku dzirdināmā silē, un tecēja atkal uz aku smelt un smēla visiem viņa kamieļiem.
21 The man observed her in silence to see if the Lord had made his journey successful or not.
Un tas vīrs izbrīnījās par to, klusu ciezdams, ka viņš samanītu, vai Tas Kungs viņa ceļam licis labi izdoties, vai ne.
22 Once the camels had finished drinking, he gave her a gold nose-ring and two heavy gold bracelets for her wrists.
Un kad tie kamieļi bija padzērušies, tad tas vīrs ņēma vienu zelta pieres sprādzi, - tā svēra pussēķeli - un divus apliekamus roku gredzenus priekš viņas rokām, - tie svēra desmit sēķeļus.
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?”
Un viņš sacīja: meitiņa, kam meita tu esi? Pasaki man jel to: vai priekš mums tava tēva namā vietas, tur naktsmāju dabūt?
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,
Un tā uz viņu sacīja: es esmu Betuēļa, Milkas dēla, meita, ko tā Nahoram dzemdējusi.
25 and yes, we have room for you to spend the night.”
Un tā vēl uz viņu sacīja: tur ir arī diezgan salmu un barības pie mums, ir mājošanas vieta.
26 The man kneeled down and bowed in worship to the Lord.
Tad tas vīrs Tā Kunga priekšā nomezdamies to pielūdza
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!”
Un sacīja: slavēts lai ir Tas Kungs, mana kunga Ābrahāma Dievs, kas nav atrāvis Savu žēlastību un patiesību no mana kunga! Jo Tas Kungs mani ir vadījis to ceļu uz mana kunga brāļa namu.
28 She ran to her mother's house and told her family what had happened.
Un tā meitiņa tecēja un to pasacīja savas mātes namā.
29 Rebekah had a brother named Laban, and he ran out to meet the man who had remained at the spring.
Un Rebekai bija brālis, Lābans vārdā, un Lābans steidzās pie tā vīra ārā uz aku.
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.
Un kad viņš to pieres sprādzi un tos roku gredzenus pie savas māsas rokām redzēja un savas māsas Rebekas vārdus dzirdēja, kas sacīja: tā tas vīrs uz mani runājis, - tad tas nāca pie tā vīra, un redzi, tas stāvēja pie tiem kamieļiem pie akas.
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.”
Un viņš sacīja: nāc iekšā, Tā Kunga svētītais, kam tu stāvi ārā? Jo es esmu namu sataisījis un vieta ir priekš taviem kamieļiem.
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.
Tad tas vīrs nāca namā, un tie nosegloja tos kamieļus, un deva tiem kamieļiem salmus un barību un ūdeni, mazgāt viņa kājas un to vīru kājas, kas viņam bija līdz.
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.
Un tie viņam cēla priekšā barību; bet viņš sacīja: es neēdīšu, pirms nebūšu runājis savus vārdus. Un tas sacīja: runā.
34 “I'm Abraham's servant,” the man began.
Tad viņš sacīja: es esmu Ābrahāma kalps,
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.
Un Tas Kungs bagāti ir svētījis manu kungu, un tas ir augumā audzis, un viņš tam ir devis avis un vēršus un sudrabu un zeltu un kalpus un kalpones un kamieļus un ēzeļus.
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.
Un Sāra, mana kunga sieva, manam kungam ir dzemdējusi dēlu savā vecumā, un tam viņš ir devis visu, kas viņam pieder.
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.
Un mans kungs man ir licis zvērēt sacīdams: tev manam dēlam nebūs ņemt no tām Kanaāniešu meitām, kuru zemē es dzīvoju.
38 Instead, go to my family home where my relatives live, and find a wife there for my son Isaac.’
Bet tev būs iet uz mana tēva namu un pie maniem radiem un manam dēlam sievu ņemt.
39 I said to my master, ‘What if the woman refuses to come back with me?’
Tad es sacīju uz savu kungu: ja tā sieva man neies līdz.
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.
Un viņš uz mani sacīja: Tas Kungs, kura priekšā es esmu staigājis, sūtīs Savu eņģeli ar tevi, un liks labi izdoties tavam ceļam, ka tu manam dēlam ņemi sievu no manas cilts un no mana tēva nama.
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.’
Tad tu būsi vaļā no mana zvēresta, kad tu iesi pie maniem radiem, un ja viņi tev nedos, tad tu būsi vaļā no mana zvēresta.
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.
Un es nācu šodien pie tās akas un sacīju: Kungs, Tu mana kunga Ābrahāma Dievs, ja Tu, lūdzams, manam ceļam esi licis labi izdoties, kur es eju,
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,’
Redzi, es stāvu pie tās ūdens akas: kad nu viena jauna meita nāks smelt, un es viņai sacīšu: dod man jel maķenīt ūdens dzert no tava trauka,
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.”
Un tā uz mani sacīs: dzer ir tu un ir taviem kamieļiem es smelšu, - ka šī ir tā sieva, ko Tas Kungs mana kunga dēlam novēlējis.
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.’
Pirms es savā sirdī pabeidzu runāt, redzi, tad Rebeka nāca ārā ar ūdens trauku uz pleca, un tā nokāpa akā un smēla, un es uz to sacīju: dod man lūdzama padzerties.
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.
Tad viņa traucās un nocēla savu trauku no sava pleca zemē un sacīja: dzer, un es tavus kamieļus arīdzan dzirdināšu; tad es dzēru, un tie kamieļi arīdzan tapa dzirdināti.
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.
Un es viņu vaicāju un sacīju: kam meita tu esi? Un tā sacīja: Betuēla, Nahora dēla, meita, ko Milka tam dzemdējusi. Tad es liku to pieres sprādzi uz viņas vaigu un tos roku gredzenus ap viņas rokām.
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.
Un es nometos un pielūdzu To Kungu un slavēju To Kungu, mana kunga Ābrahāma Dievu, kas mani to īsteno ceļu bija vadījis, mana kunga brāļa meitu viņa dēlam ņemt par sievu.
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.”
Un nu, ja jūs esat tie, kas žēlastību un uzticību pie mana kunga grib parādīt, tad sakāt man to; un ja ne, tad sakāt man ir to; tad es griezīšos, vai pa labo roku vai pa kreiso.
50 Laban and Bethuel replied, “Clearly all this is from the Lord, so we can't argue one way or the other.
Tad Lābans un Betuēls atbildēja un sacīja: šī lieta ir no Tā Kunga nākusi, mēs nedz ļauna nedz laba nevaram uz tevi runāt.
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.”
Redzi, Rebeka ir tavā priekšā, ņem to un ej; lai tā ir tava kunga dēla sieva, kā Tas Kungs ir sacījis.
52 As soon as Abraham's servant heard their decision, he bowed down in worship to the Lord.
Un kad Ābrahāma kalps viņu vārdus dzirdēja, tad viņš Tā Kunga priekšā pie zemes mezdamies To pielūdza.
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.
Un tas kalps izņēma sudraba un zelta lietas un drēbes, un deva Rebekai un viņas brālim, un viņas mātei tas arī deva dārgas dāvanas.
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.”
Tad tie ēda un dzēra, viņš un tie vīri, kas viņam bija līdz, un palika tur pa nakti. Un tie cēlās rītā, un viņš sacīja: atlaidiet mani pie mana kunga.
55 But her brother and her mother said, “Let her stay with us for another ten days or so. She can leave after that.”
Tad viņas brālis un viņas māte sacīja: lai tā meitiņa kādas desmit dienas paliek pie mums; pēc tu vari iet.
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.”
Bet viņš uz tiem sacīja: neaizkavējiet mani, Tas Kungs manam ceļam licis labi izdoties; atlaidiet mani, ka es eju pie sava kunga.
57 “Let's call Rebekah and find out what she wants to do,” they suggested.
Tad tie sacīja: sauksim to meitiņu un jautāsim viņu.
58 They called Rebekah in and asked her, “Do you want to go with this man now?” “Yes, I'll go,” she replied.
Tad tie sauca Rebeku un uz to sacīja: vai tu gribi iet ar šo vīru? Un tā sacīja: es iešu.
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.
Tad tie atlaida Rebeku, savu māsu, un viņas emmu, un Ābrahāma kalpu un viņa vīrus.
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.”
Un tie svētīja Rebeku un uz to sacīja: tu, mūsu māsa, audzi par tūkstošu tūkstošiem, un tavs dzimums lai pārvalda savu ienaidnieku vārtus.
61 Then Rebekah and her servant girls got on the camels. They followed Abraham's servant and left.
Un Rebeka cēlās ar savām meitām un sēdās uz kamieļiem un gāja tam vīram līdz, un tas kalps ņēma Rebeku un aizgāja.
62 Meanwhile Isaac, who was living in the Negev, had just come back from Beer-lahai-roi.
Un Īzaks nāca to ceļu no Lekaj-Roī akas, jo tas mita dienvidu(Negebas) zemē.
63 He went out into the fields one evening to think things over. He looked into the distance and saw camels coming.
Bet Īzaks bija izgājis uz lauku Dievu pielūgt ap vakara laiku. Un tas pacēla savas acis un skatījās, un redzi, kamieļi nāca.
64 Rebekah was also keeping a look out. When she saw Isaac, she got down from her camel.
Un Rebeka pacēla savas acis un redzēja Īzaku un nolaidās no kamieļa.
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.
Un tā sacīja uz to kalpu: kas tas par vīru, kas tur pa lauku mums nāk pretī? Un tas kalps sacīja: tas ir mans kungs. Tad tā ņēma vaiga apsegu un apsedzās.
66 The servant told Isaac everything he'd done.
Un tas kalps Īzakam visu izteica, ko tas bija darījis.
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.
Un Īzaks veda Rebeku savas mātes Sāras dzīvoklī, un viņš to ņēma un tā viņam palika par sievu, un viņš to mīlēja. Tā Īzaks tapa iepriecināts pēc savas mātes nāves.
