Genesis 24
1 Nowe Abraham was olde, and striken in yeeres, and the Lord had blessed Abraham in all things.
Abraham khaw a tue loh patong ben a paan coeng dae a cungkuem dongah BOEIPA loh Abraham te yoethen a paek.
2 Therefore Abraham saide vnto his eldest seruant of his house, which had the rule ouer all that he had, Put nowe thine hand vnder my thigh,
Te dongah Abraham loh a im kah a koe boeih aka taem sal a ham taengah, “Na kut te ka phai hmuiah tloeng laeh.
3 And I will make thee sweare by ye Lord God of the heauen, and God of the earth, that thou shalt not take a wife vnto my sonne of the daughters of the Canaanites among who I dwel.
Kai loh amih lakli ah kho ka sak dae Kanaan nu rhoek te ka capa kah a yuu la lo boeh.
4 But thou shalt go vnto my countrey, and to my kinred, and take a wife vnto my sone Izhak.
Tedae ka khohmuen neh ka pacaboeina taengah cet lamtah ka ca Isaak ham yuu loh pah tila vaan Pathen, diklai Pathen BOEIPA ming neh nang kan toemngam sak,” a ti nah.
5 And the seruant saide to him, What if the woman will not come with me to this land? shall I bring thy sonne againe vnto the lande from whence thou camest?
Te dongah a sal loh Abraham te, “Hekah khohmuen la kai hnukah vai ham huta loh a huem pawt khaming, na poenah kho la na capa te ka bal khaw ka bal puei aya?” a ti nah.
6 To whom Abraham answered, Beware that thou bring not my sonne thither againe.
Tedae Abraham loh anih taengah, “Nang te ngaithuen, ka capa te ke la na khuen ve ne.
7 The Lord God of heauen, who tooke me from my fathers house, and from the land where I was borne, and that spake vnto me, and that sware vnto me, saying, Vnto thy seede wil I giue this land, he shall send his Angel before thee, and thou shalt take a wife vnto my sonne from thence.
A pa im neh ka pacaboeina khohmuen lamkah kai aka khuen tih ka taengah a thui vaengah, ‘Hekah khohmuen he nang tiingan ham ka khueh ni,’ tila aka toemngam, vaan kah Pathen BOEIPA loh nang hmai ah amah kah puencawn te a tueih vetih ka capa ham a yuu te ke lamkah nan loh pah bitni.
8 Neuertheles if the woman wil not follow thee, then shalt thou bee discharged of this mine othe: onely bring not my sonne thither againe.
Tedae huta loh nang taengah lo ham a huem pawt atah ka olhlo dong lamloh m'hmil saeh. Tedae ka capa te ke la khuen boeh,” a ti nah.
9 Then the seruant put his hand vnder the thigh of Abraham his master, and sware to him for this matter.
Te dongah salpa loh a kut te a boei Abraham kah a phai hmuiah a khueh tih hekah olka ham amah taengah a toem a ngam.
10 So the seruant tooke ten camels of the camels of his master, and departed: (for he had all his masters goods in his hand: ) and so he arose, and went to Aram Naharaim, vnto the citie of Nahor.
Te phoeiah salpa loh a boei kah kalauk pumrha a loh tih a kut ah a boei kah thennah cungkuem neh cet. Te vaengah thoo tih Nakhaw kah khopuei Aramnaharaim la cet.
11 And he made his camels to lye downe without the citie by a well of water, at euentide about the time that the women come out to draw water.
Tedae hlaem tue vaengkah tuithan rhoek a caeh tue vaengah kalauk te khopuei voel kah tuito tui taengah a kol sak tih,
12 And he said, O Lord God of my master Abraham, I beseech thee, send me good speede this day, and shew mercy vnto my master Abraham.
“Ka boei Abraham kah BOEIPA Pathen aw, ka boei Abraham taengah sitlohnah han saii lamtah tihnin ah kai he m'phu sak laeh.
13 Lo, I stand by the well of water, whiles the mens daughters of this citie come out to drawe water.
Tuiphuet tui kah ka pai vaengah tui than la khopuei hlang kah tanu aka lo rhoek khuikah,
14 Graunt therefore that ye maide, to whom I say, Bowe downe thy pitcher, I pray thee, that I may drinke: if she say, Drinke, and I will giue thy camels drinke also: may be she that thou hast ordeined for thy seruant Izhak: and thereby shall I know that thou hast shewed mercy on my master.
Hula aka om te, ‘Na amrhaeng hal dae lamtah tui ka o eh,’ ka ti nah vaengah, ‘O lamtah na kalauk rhoek khaw tui kan tul eh,’ aka ti te na sal Isaak ham na hmoel pah. Anih dongah ka boei taengah sitlohnah nan saii tila ka ming ni,” a ti nah.
15 And nowe yer he had left speaking, beholde, Rebekah came out, the daughter of Bethuel, sonne of Milcah the wife of Nahor Abrahams brother, and her pitcher vpon her shoulder.
Tedae a thui te a khah hlanah Abraham kah a manuca Nakhaw yuu Milkah capa Bethuel loh a sak Rebekah te a laengpang ah amrhaeng neh pakcak ha pawk.
16 (And the maide was very faire to looke vpon, a virgine and vnknowen of man) and she went downe to the well, and filled her pitcher, and came vp.
A mueimae bahoeng aka then huta oila la om tih anih te tongpa loh ming hlan. Tuiphuet la suntla tih amrhaeng te a than tih yoeng.
17 Then the seruant ranne to meete her, and said, Let me drinke, I pray thee, a litle water of thy pitcher.
Te dongah anih doe ham salpa te yong. Te phoeiah, “Nang kah amrhaeng tui bet n'coih ne,” a ti nah.
18 And she said, Drinke sir: and she hasted, and let downe her pitcher vpon her hand and gaue him drinke.
Te dongah, “Ka boeipa o mai saw,” a ti nah tih a kut kah a amrhaeng te khaw koe a hal pah. Te phoeiah anih te a tul.
19 And when she had giuen him drinke, she said, I will drawe water for thy camels also vntill they haue drunken inough.
Anih te bawt a tul phoeiah, “Na kalauk rhoek ham khaw a ok rhoeh hil kan than dae eh,” a ti nah.
20 And she powred out her pitcher into the trough speedily; and ranne againe vnto the well to drawe water, and she drewe for all his camels.
Te phoeiah a amrhaeng te tuisoi dongah koe a kingling tih tui than hamla tuito la koep yong. Te phoeiah a kalauk boeih ham tui a than.
21 So the man wondred at her, and helde his peace, to knowe whether the Lord had made his iourney prosperous or not.
BOEIPA loh a longpuei a thaihtak sak neh a thaihtak sak pawt khaw ming hamla tongpa loh huta te duem a boelh.
22 And when the camels had left drinking, the man tooke a golden abillement of halfe a shekell weight, and two bracelets for her hands, of ten shekels weight of golde:
Te dongah kalauk loh bawt a ok nen tah tongpa loh sui hnaii a khiing beka khat neh a kut dongkah ham sui khungpak panit, a khiing parha te a loh.
23 And he said, Whose daughter art thou? tell me, I pray thee, Is there roume in thy fathers house for vs to lodge in?
Te phoeiah, “Nang ukah canu lae? Kai taengah thui lah. Na pa im ah pah ham a hmuen kaimih ham om aya?” a ti nah.
24 Then she said to him, I am the daughter of Bethuel the sonne of Milcah whom she bare vnto Nahor.
Te dongah anih taengah, “Kai tah Milkah loh Nakhaw ham a cun a capa Bethuel canu ni,” a ti nah.
25 Moreouer she said vnto him, We haue litter also and prouender ynough, and roume to lodge in.
Te phoeiah anih te, “Kaimih taengah cangkong khaw, kamvuelh khaw, coih tih rhaeh hmuen khaw om,” a ti nah.
26 And the man bowed himselfe and worshipped the Lord,
Te dongah tekah hlang te buluk tih BOEIPA te a bawk.
27 And said, Blessed be the Lord God of my master Abraham, which hath not withdrawen his mercie and his trueth from my master: for when I was in the way, the Lord brought me to my masters brethrens house.
Te phoeiah, “Ka boei Abraham kah Pathen BOEIPA tah a yoethen pai. A sitlohnah neh uepomnah loh ka boei te hnoo pawh. Kai khaw ka boei kah a manuca im duela longpuei ah BOEIPA loh m'mawt coeng,” a ti.
28 And the maide ranne and tolde them of her mothers house according to these wordes.
Hula te khaw yong tih hekah olka te a manu cako ham a thui pah.
29 Now Rebekah had a brother called Laban, and Laban ranne vnto the man to the well.
Te vaengah Rebekah te a nganpa, a ming ah Laban khaw om. Te dongah Laban te tollong la yong tih tuiphuet kah hlang taengla cet.
30 For when he had seene the earings and the bracelets in his sisters hands, and when he heard the wordes of Rebekah his sister, saying, Thus said the man vnto me, then he went to the man, and loe, he stoode by the camels at the well.
Tedae hnaii neh a ngannu kut kah khungpak te lawt a hmuh tih a ngannu Rebekah loh, “Tekah hlang loh kai taengah a thui,” a ti nah, ol a yaak. Hlang te a paan vaengah tah, tuiphuet kah kalauk taengah sut ana pai pah.
31 And he saide, Come in thou blessed of the Lord: wherefore standest thou without, seeing I haue prepared the house, and roume for ye camels?
Te dongah, “BOEIPA kah yoethen a paek tah halo pai. Balae tih vongvoel ah na pai? Kai khaw im neh kalauk ham hmuen ka rhoekbah coeng ta,” a ti nah.
32 Then the man came into the house, and he vnsadled the camels, and brought litter and prouender for the camels, and water to wash his feete, and the mens feete that were with him.
Te daengah tekah hlang loh im la cet tih kalauk te a hlam. Te phoeiah kalauk ham cangkong neh kamvuelh khaw, anih kho neh a taengkah hlang rhoek kho silh nah hamla tui khaw a paek.
33 Afterward the meate was set before him: but he saide, I will not eate, vntill I haue saide my message: And he said, Speake on.
Te phoeiah caak te amih hmai ah a tawn pah hatah, “Kamah kah olka ka thui hlanah ka ca mahpawh,” a ti nah. Te dongah, “Thui,” a ti nah hatah,
34 Then he said, I am Abrahams seruant,
“Kai tah Abraham kah sal ni.
35 And the Lord hath blessed my master wonderfully, that he is become great: for he hath giuen him sheepe, and beeues, and siluer, and golde, and men seruants, and maide seruants, and camels, and asses.
Tahae ah BOEIPA loh ka boeipa te yoethen muep a paek dongah boei coeng. Te phoeiah anih te boiva khaw, saelhung khaw, cak neh sui khaw, salpa neh salnu khaw, kalauk neh laak khaw a paek.
36 And Sarah my masters wife hath borne a sonne to my master, when she was olde, and vnto him hath he giuen all that he hath.
Ka boeipa kah a yuu Sarah khaw a patong soiah ka boeipa ham ca a sak pah tih a taengkah koe boeih te anih ham a khueh pah.
37 Now my master made me sweare, saying, Thou shalt not take a wife to my sonne of the daughters of the Canaanites, in whose land I dwell:
Tedae ka boeipa loh kai te, ‘Ka capa yuu ham tah kai loh kho ka sak thil khohmuen kah Kanaan nu te loh pah boeh.’
38 But thou shalt go vnto my fathers house and to my kinred, and take a wife vnto my sonne.
‘Tedae a pa im la lat cet lamtah kamah huiko te ka ca yuu la loh pah,’ a ti tih a toem a ngam.
39 Then I saide vnto my master, What if the woman will not follow me?
Tedae ka boeipa te, ‘Kai hnukah huta te halo pawt khaming,’ ka ti nah hatah,
40 Who answered me, The Lord, before who I walke, will send his Angel with thee, and prosper thy iourney, and thou shalt take a wife for my sonne of my kinred and my fathers house.
‘BOEIPA amah mikhmuh ah ni kai ka caeh. Nang taengah amah kah puencawn te han tueih vetih na longpuei a thaihtak sak vaengah ka capa yuu khaw kamah huiko neh a pa im lamkah te na loh thai ni.
41 Then shalt thou be discharged of mine othe, when thou commest to my kinred: and if they giue thee not one, thou shalt be free from mine othe.
Kamah huiko taengla na pawk mak atah kai kah thaephoeinah lamkah m'hmil bitni. Nang taengah a canu te m'paek uh pawt akhaw kai kah thaephoeinah lamkah ommongsitoe la na om ngawn ni,’ a ti.
42 So I came this day to the well, and said, O Lord, the God of my master Abraham, if thou nowe prosper my iourney which I goe,
Tedae tihnin ah tuiphuet te kam pha tih, ‘Ka boei Abraham kah Pathen BOEIPA aw, namah na om atah he la ka pongpa vaengah ka longpuei han thaihtak sak laeh.
43 Behold, I stand by the well of water: when a virgine commeth forth to drawe water, and I say to her, Giue me, I pray thee, a litle water of thy pitcher to drinke,
Kai loh tuiphuet kah tui taengah he ka pai vaengah tuithan la aka lo hula te om mai tih anih te, na amrhaeng dongkah tui te kai bet n'tul laem, ka ti nah ni.
44 And she say to me, Drinke thou, and I will also drawe for thy camels, let her be ye wife, which the Lord hath prepared for my masters sonne.
Te vaengah kai taengah, namah o ngawn lamtah na kalauk rhoek ham khaw kan than eh, ti saeh. Tekah huta te ka boeipa kah a capa ham BOEIPA loh hmoel saeh,’ ka ti.
45 And before I had made an end of speaking in mine heart, beholde, Rebekah came foorth, and her pitcher on her shoulder, and she went downe vnto the well, and drewe water. Then I said vnto her, Giue me drinke, I pray thee.
Kai loh ka lungbuei ah ka thangthui te ka khah hlanah mah Rebekah loh a laengpang sokah amrhaeng neh tarha ha pawk tih tuiphuet la suntla thuk. Tui a than phoeiah anih te, ‘Kai n'tul laem,’ ka ti nah.
46 And she made haste, and tooke downe her pitcher from her shoulder, and said, Drinke, and I will giue thy camels drinke also. So I dranke, and she gaue the camels drinke also.
Te vaengah amah pum dongkah amrhaeng te koe a hal tih, ‘O lamtah na kalauk rhoek khaw ka tul eh,’ a ti. Te dongah ka ok tih kalauk rhoek te khaw tui a tul.
47 Then I asked her, and said, Whose daughter art thou? And she answered, The daughter of Bethuel Nahors sonne, whom Milcah bare vnto him. Then I put the abillement vpon her face, and the bracelets vpon her hands:
Te phoeiah anih te ka dawt tih, ‘Nang u canu lae?’ ka ti nah vaengah, ‘Milkah loh Nakhaw ham a sak pah a capa Bethuel canu ni,’ a ti. Te dongah a hnarhong ah hnaii ka bang pah tih a kut ah khungpak ka buen sak.
48 And I bowed downe and worshipped the Lord, and blessed the Lord God of my master Abraham, which had brought me the right way to take my masters brothers daughter vnto his sone.
Te phoeiah ka buluk tih BOEIPA te ka bawk vaengah, ‘Ka boei kah a manuca canu te a capa ham aka lo la oltak longpuei ah kai aka mawt ka boei Abraham kah BOEIPA Pathen te ka uem.
49 Now therefore, if ye will deale mercifully and truely with my master, tell me: and if not, tell me that I may turne me to the right hand or to the left.
Tedae tahae ah ka boeipa ham sitlohnah neh uepomnah tueng ham na huem atah kai taengah thui lah. Kai taengah na thui uh pawt bal atah banvoei bantang la ka mael mai eh, ka ti’,” a ti nah.
50 Then answered Laban and Bethuel, and said, This thing is proceeded of the Lord: we cannot therefore say vnto thee, neither euill nor good.
Te dongah Laban neh Bethuel loh a doo tih, “BOEIPA lamkah olka aka thoeng te a thae then khaw nang taengah ka thui rhoi thai pawh.
51 Beholde, Rebehak is before thee, take her and goe, that she may be thy masters sonnes wife, euen as the Lord hath said.
Na mikhmuh ah Rebekah aka om he lo lamtah caeh puei. BOEIPA kah a thui vanbangla na boeipa capa kah a yuu la om saeh,” a ti rhoi.
52 And when Abrahams seruant heard their wordes, he bowed himselfe toward the earth vnto the Lord.
Amih rhoi kah olka te Abraham kah sal loh a yaak vaengah BOEIPA taengah diklai la bakop tih a bawk.
53 Then the seruant tooke foorth iewels of siluer, and iewels of golde, and raiment, and gaue to Rebekah: also vnto her brother and to her mother he gaue gifts.
Te phoeiah salpa loh cak hnopai neh sui hnopai khaw, himbai khaw a sat tih Rebekah te a paek. A nganpa neh a manu te khaw kawnthen a paek pah.
54 Afterward they did eate and drinke, both he, and the men that were with him, and taried all night. and when they rose vp in the morning, he said, Let me depart vnto my master.
Te daengah amah neh amah taengkah hlang rhoek khaw a caak a ok uh tih rhaeh uh. Mincang a thoh uh vaengah, “Ka boeipa taengah kai n'tueih mai laeh,” a ti nah.
55 Then her brother and her mother answered, Let the maide abide with vs, at the least ten dayes: then shall she goe.
Tedae a nganpa neh a manu loh, “Hula he kaimih taengah khohnin hninrha tluk om dae vetih na cet mako,” a ti nah.
56 But he said vnto them, Hinder you me not, seeing the Lord hath prospered my iourney: send me away, that I may goe to my master.
Te dongah Abraham kah salpa loh amih taengah, “BOEIPA loh ka longpuei han thaihtak sak vanbangla kai he n'hloh uh boel mai. Ka boeipa taengah n'tueih mai lamtah kai ka cet mai eh,” a ti nah.
57 Then they said, We will call the maide, and aske her consent.
Te dongah, “Hula te khue uh sih lamtah amah olthui te dawt uh dae sih,” a ti uh.
58 And they called Rebekah, and saide vnto her, Wilt thou go with this man? And she answered, I will go.
Rebekah te a khue uh phoeiah, “Hekah hlang taengah na cet aya?” a ti nah uh vaengah, “Ka cet ni ta,” a ti.
59 So they let Rebekah their sister goe, and her nourse, with Abrahams seruant and his men.
Te dongah a ngannu Rebekah neh anih kah cakhoem te khaw, Abraham kah sal neh a hlang rhoek te khaw a tueih uh.
60 And they blessed Rebekah, and sayde vnto her, Thou art our sister, growe into thousande thousands, and thy seede possesse the gate of his enemies.
Te vaengah Rebekah te yoethen a paek uh tih amah taengah, “Ka ngannu nang tah a thawng thawngrha la coeng lamtah na tiingan loh a lunguet kah vongka te huul saeh,” a ti nah uh.
61 Then Rebekah arose, and her maydes, and rode vpon the camels, and followed the man. and the seruant tooke Rebekah, and departed.
Te phoeiah Rebekah neh hula rhoek te thoo uh tih kalauk soah ngol uh. tongpa hnukah a caeh uh ham coeng dongah Rebekah te Abraham kah sal loh a loh tih a caeh puei.
62 Nowe Izhak came from the way of Beer-lahai-roi, (for he dwelt in the South countrey)
Te vaengah Negev kho ah khosak ham Beerlahairoi lamkah aka lo Isaak khaw ha pawk.
63 And Izhak went out. to pray in the fielde toward the euening: who lift vp his eyes and looked, and behold, the camels came.
Hlaem a pha vaengah Isaak te lohma la cet tih kho a poek. Te vaengah a mik a huel tih a sawt hatah kalauk tarha ha khong pah.
64 Also Rebekah lift vp her eyes, and when she saw Izhak, she lighted downe from the camel.
Rebekah long khaw a mik a huel hatah Isaak te a hmuh tih kalauk so lamloh rhum thuk.
65 (For shee had sayde to the seruant, Who is yonder man, that commeth in the fielde to meete vs? and the seruant had said, It is my master) So she tooke a vaile, and couered her.
Te phoeiah salpa taengah, “Mamih doe ham lohma li ah tongpa aka lo ke ulae?” a ti nah vaengah a salpa loh, “Ka boeipa ni,” a ti nah dongah hnii te a loh tih a yil.
66 And the seruant tolde Izhak all things, that he had done.
Te phoeiah salpa loh a saii hno boeih te Isaak taengah a thui.
67 Afterward Izhak brought her into the tent of Sarah his mother, and he tooke Rebekah, and she was his wife, and he loued her: So Izhak was comforted after his mothers death.
Isaak loh hula te dap khuikah a manu Sarah taengla a khuen. Te phoeiah Rebekah te a loh tih anih yuu la coeng. Te dongah anih te a lungnah tih a manu hnukah Isaak khaw hal van.
