Genesis 24
1 Nowe Abraham was olde, and striken in yeeres, and the Lord had blessed Abraham in all things.
Na kua koroheketia a Aperahama, A kua maha rawa ona ra: a i manaaki a Ihowa i a Aperahama i nga mea katoa.
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,
Na ka mea a Aperahama ki te kaumatua o ana pononga i roto i tona whare, ki te kaiwhakahaere o ana mea katoa, Tena, whakapakia mai tou ringa ki raro ki toku huhu:
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.
A me whakaoati koe e ahau ki a Ihowa, ki te Atua o te rangi, ki te Atua hoki o te whenua, kia kaua e tangohia e koe he wahine ma taku tama i roto i nga tamahine a nga Kanaani, a te iwi e noho nei ahau i roto i a ratou:
4 But thou shalt go vnto my countrey, and to my kinred, and take a wife vnto my sone Izhak.
Engari me haere koe ki toku whenua, ki oku whanaunga, ka tango mai ai i tetahi wahine ma taku tama, ma Ihaka.
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?
Na ka mea te pononga ki a ia, Akuanei pea ka kore e pai te wahine ki te whai mai i ahau ki tenei whenua: me whakahoki ranei e ahau tau tama ki te whenua i haere mai nei koe i reira?
6 To whom Abraham answered, Beware that thou bring not my sonne thither againe.
Ka mea a Aperahama ki a ia, Kia tino mohio koe, kaua rawa taku tama e whakahokia ki reira.
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.
Ko Ihowa, ko te Atua o te rangi, nana nei ahau i tango mai i te whare o toku papa, i te whenua hoki i whanau ai ahau, i korero ki ahau, i oati hoki ki ahau, Ka hoatu e ahau tenei whenua ki ou uri; mana e tono mai tana anahera ki mua i a koe, a ka riro mai i a koe tetahi wahine ma taku tama i reira.
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.
A, ki te kahore te wahine e pai ki te whai mai i a koe, katahi koe ka watea i tenei oati aku: otiia kaua e whakahokia e koe taku tama ki reira.
9 Then the seruant put his hand vnder the thigh of Abraham his master, and sware to him for this matter.
Na ka whakapakia e te pononga tona ringa ki raro i te huha o Aperahama, o tona ariki, a ka oati ki a ia mo taua mea.
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.
Na ka tangohia e te pononga etahi kamera kotahi tekau i roto i nga kamera a tona ariki, a haere ana: i tona ringa hoki nga mea papai katoa a tona ariki: a whakatika ana ia, haere ana ki Mehopotamia, ki te pa o Nahora.
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.
Na ka mea ia i nga kamera kia tuturi ki te taha o te puna wai i waho o te pa i te ahiahi, i te wa e puta mai ai nga wahine ki te utu wai.
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.
A ka mea ia, E Ihowa, e te Atua o toku ariki, o Aperahama, kia whai wahi ahau akuanei, whakaputaina hoki he aroha ki toku ariki, ki a Aperahama.
13 Lo, I stand by the well of water, whiles the mens daughters of this citie come out to drawe water.
Tenei ahau te tu nei i te taha o te puna wai; a e haere mai ana nga tamahine a nga tangata o te pa ki te utu wai:
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.
A, ko te kotiro e mea ai ahau ki a ia, Tukua iho tau oko kia inu ai ahau; a ka mea ia, E inu, me whakainu ano e ahau au kamera: kia rite ia i a koe ma tau pononga, ma Ihaka; ma reira ka mohio ai ahau e whakaputa aroha ana koe ki toku ariki.
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.
Heoi kiano i mutu noa tana korero, na, kua puta mai a Ripeka, tamahine a Petuere, tama a Mireka, a te wahine a Nahora, teina o Aperahama, me tana oko i runga i tona pokohiwi.
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.
Na ko te kotiro ra he tino ataahua ki te titiro atu, he wahina, kahore ano tetahi tane kia mohio noa ki a ia: na ka heke atu ia ki te puna, ka whakaki i tana oko, a ka haere ake.
17 Then the seruant ranne to meete her, and said, Let me drinke, I pray thee, a litle water of thy pitcher.
Na ka rere te pononga ra ki te whakatutaki i a ia, ka mea, Homai he wai moku, ne, o tau oko kia iti nei?
18 And she said, Drinke sir: and she hasted, and let downe her pitcher vpon her hand and gaue him drinke.
A ka mea ia, E inu, e toku ariki: na hohoro tonu tana tuku iho i tana oko ki runga ki tona ringa, a whakainumia ana ia.
19 And when she had giuen him drinke, she said, I will drawe water for thy camels also vntill they haue drunken inough.
A, ka mutu tana whakainu i a ia, ka mea ia, Me utu ano hoki e ahau mo au kamera, kia poto ra ano ratou te whakainu.
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.
Na hohoro tonu tana riringi atu i te wai o tana oko ki roto ki te waka, a rere ana ano ki te puna ki te utu, a utuhia mai ana e ia mo ana kamera katoa.
21 So the man wondred at her, and helde his peace, to knowe whether the Lord had made his iourney prosperous or not.
Ko taua tangata ia matatau tonu tana titiro ki a ia, kihai hoki i hamumu, kia mohio ia ka whakatikaia ranei e Ihowa tona ara, kahore ranei.
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:
A ka mutu te inu o nga kamera, na ka tikina e taua tangata tetahi whakakai koura, he hawhe hekere tona taimaha, me nga poroporo e rua mo ona ringa, kotahi tekau nga hekere koura te taimaha;
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?
A ka mea, Na wai koe tamahine? tena, korero mai ki ahau: he wahi ranei kei te whare o tou papa hei moenga mo matou?
24 Then she said to him, I am the daughter of Bethuel the sonne of Milcah whom she bare vnto Nahor.
Na ka mea ia ki a ia, He tamahine ahau na Petuere, tama a Mireka, i whanau nei i a raua ko Nahora.
25 Moreouer she said vnto him, We haue litter also and prouender ynough, and roume to lodge in.
A ka mea ano ia ki a ia, He nui a matou kakau witi, me a matou otaota hei kai, me tetahi wahi hoki hei moenga.
26 And the man bowed himselfe and worshipped the Lord,
Na tuohu ana taua tangata, koropiko ana ki a Ihowa.
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.
A ka mea, Kia whakapaingia a Ihowa, te Atua o toku rangatira, o Aperahama, kihai nei i wareware ki tona aroha, ki tona pono ki toku rangatira: tena ko ahau, na Ihowa ano ahau i arataki mai i te ara ki te whare o nga teina o toku rangatira.
28 And the maide ranne and tolde them of her mothers house according to these wordes.
Na ka oma te kotiro ra, ka korero i enei mea ki te whare o tona whaea.
29 Now Rebekah had a brother called Laban, and Laban ranne vnto the man to the well.
Na, he tungane to Ripeka, ko Rapana tona ingoa; na ka rere a Rapana ki taua tangata, ki waho, ki te puna.
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.
Na, i tona kitenga i te whakakai me nga poroporo i nga ringa o tona tuahine, a ka rongo hoki ki nga kupu a Ripeka, a tona tuahine, i mea ra, I penei nga korero a taua tangata ki ahau; ka haere ia ki taua tangata; na, i te taha ia o nga kamera, i te puna wai e tu ana;
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?
A ka mea, Tomo mai, e te manaakitanga a Ihowa; he aha koe i tu ai i waho? kua oti hoki i ahau te whare te whakapai, me tetahi wahi mo nga kamera.
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.
Na ka haere taua tangata ki te whare, a wetekina ana e ia nga mea o nga kamera; i homai ano e ia he kakau witi me tetahi otaota hei kai ma nga kararehe, me te wai hei horoi mo ona waewae, mo nga waewae hoki o ona hoa.
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.
Na ka whakatakotoria he kai ki tona aroaro; otiia ka mea ia, E kore ahau e kai, kia korerotia ra ano e ahau taku haere. Ka mea tera, Korero.
34 Then he said, I am Abrahams seruant,
Na ka mea ia, He pononga ahau na Aperahama.
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.
A kua manaakitia rawatia toku ariki e Ihowa; kua nui ia; a kua homai hoki ki a ia he hipi, he kau, he hiriwa, he koura, he pononga tane, he pononga wahine, he kamera, he kaihe.
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.
A kua whanau he tama ma toku ariki i a Hara, i te wahine a toku ariki, i a ia kua ruruhitia: a kua hoatu e ia ana mea katoa ki a ia.
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:
Na i whakaoati toku ariki i ahau, i mea mai, Kei tangohia e koe he wahine ma taku tama i roto i nga tamahine a nga Kanaani, e noho nei ahau i to ratou whenua:
38 But thou shalt go vnto my fathers house and to my kinred, and take a wife vnto my sonne.
Engari me haere koe ki te whare o toku papa, ki oku whanaunga ka tango ai i tetahi wahine ma taku tama.
39 Then I saide vnto my master, What if the woman will not follow me?
Ano ra ko ahau ki toku ariki, E kore pea te wahine e whai mai i ahau.
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.
A ka mea mai ia ki ahau, Ma Ihowa, kei tona aroaro nei toku haereerenga, mana e tono tana anahera hei hoa mou, mana hoki e whakatika tou ara; a ka tango mai koe i tetahi wahine ma taku tama i roto i oku whanaunga, i roto hoki i te whare o toku p apa:
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.
Katahi koe ka watea i taku oati, ki te haere koe ki oku whanaunga; a ki te kahore e homai e ratou ki a koe, na, ka watea koe i taku oati.
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,
I haere mai ahau i tenei ra ki te puna, a ka mea ahau, E Ihowa, e te Atua o toku ariki, o Aperahama, ki te mea e whakatika ana koe i toku ara e haere nei ahau:
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,
Na, tenei ahau te tu nei i te taha o te puna wai; a ko te kotiro e puta mai ki te utu, a ka mea ahau ki a ia, Homai he wahi wai moku i tau oko kia inu ahau;
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.
A ka mea mai ia ki ahau, E inu, a me utu ano e ahau mo au kamera: kia rite ia i a Ihowa hei wahine ma te tama a toku ariki.
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.
Kiano i mutu noa taku korero i roto i toku ngakau, na, ko te putanga ake o Ripeka me tana oko i runga i tona pokohiwi: kua heke ki te poka ki te tu: na ka mea ahau ki a ia, Kia inu ahau, ne?
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.
Na ka hohoro ia, ka tuku i tana oko i tona pokohiwi, a ka mea mai, E inu, me whakainu ano e ahau au kamera: na inu ana ahau, a i whakainumia ano hoki e ia nga kamera.
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:
Na ka ui ahau ki a ia, He tamahine koe na wai? A ka mea mai ia, He tamahine na Petuere, tama a Nahora, i whanau nei ma raua ko Mireka: na kuhua ana e ahau te whakakai ki tona ihu, me nga poroporo ki ona ringa.
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.
Na ka tuohu ahau, ka koropiko ki a Ihowa, ka whakapai hoki i a Ihowa, i te Atua o toku ariki, o Aperahama, mona i raahi i ahau i te huarahi tika ki te tiki mai i te tamahine a te teina o toku ariki ma tana tama.
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.
Na, ki te mea he aroha to koutou, he mahi pono ki toku ariki, korero mai ki ahau: ki te kahore, korero mai; kia tahuri ake ai ahau ki matau ranei, ki maui ranei.
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.
Na ka whakahoki a Rapana raua ko Petuere, ka mea, I puta mai tenei mea i a Ihowa; e kore e taea e maua te korero ki a koe te pai, te kino ranei.
51 Beholde, Rebehak is before thee, take her and goe, that she may be thy masters sonnes wife, euen as the Lord hath said.
Nana, kei tou aroaro a Ripeka, tangohia, haere, a kia meinga ia hei wahine ma te tama a tou ariki, hei pera me ta Ihowa i korero ai.
52 And when Abrahams seruant heard their wordes, he bowed himselfe toward the earth vnto the Lord.
A ka rongo te pononga a Aperahama i a raua korero, na piko ana ia ki te whenua, ki a Ihowa.
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.
Na ka tangohia ake e te pononga he mea hiriwa, he mea koura, he kakahu hoki, a hoatu ana e ia ki a Ripeka: a i hoatu e ia etahi mea tino papai ki tona tungane raua ko tona whaea.
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.
Na ka kai ratou, ka inu, ratou tahi ko ona hoa haere, a moe iho i te po; a i te ata ka oho ratou, ka mea atu ia, Tukua ahau kia haere ki toku ariki.
55 Then her brother and her mother answered, Let the maide abide with vs, at the least ten dayes: then shall she goe.
Na ka mea tona tungane raua ko tona whaea, Waiho te kotiro i a matou mo etahi ra torutoru, kia kotahi tekau pea; muri iho ka haere.
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.
Na ka mea ia ki a raua, Kaua ahau e whakawarea, kua whakatikaia nei hoki toku ara e Ihowa; tukua ahau kia haere ki toku ariki.
57 Then they said, We will call the maide, and aske her consent.
Na ka mea raua, Me karanga e maua te kotiro, ka ui ai ki tona mangai.
58 And they called Rebekah, and saide vnto her, Wilt thou go with this man? And she answered, I will go.
Na ka karangatia e raua a Ripeka, ka mea ki a ia, Ka haere ranei koe i te tangata nei? Ka mea ia, Ka haere.
59 So they let Rebekah their sister goe, and her nourse, with Abrahams seruant and his men.
Na tukua ana e ratou a Ripeka, to ratou tuahine, ratou ko tona kaiwhakangote, ko te pononga hoki a Aperahama, me ana tangata.
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.
Na ka manaaki ratou i a Ripeka, ka mea ki a ia, E to matou tuahine, kia meinga koe hei whaea mo nga mano tini, a kia riro i ou uri te kuwaha o o ratou hoariri.
61 Then Rebekah arose, and her maydes, and rode vpon the camels, and followed the man. and the seruant tooke Rebekah, and departed.
Na ka whakatika a Ripeka, ratou ko ana kotiro, a eke ana ki runga ki nga kamera, aru ana i taua tangata: na, ka mauria e taua pononga a Ripeka, a haere ana.
62 Nowe Izhak came from the way of Beer-lahai-roi, (for he dwelt in the South countrey)
Na ka hoki mai a Ihaka i te haere i Peererahairoi; i te wahi hoki ki te tonga ia e noho ana.
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.
A ka puta atu a Ihaka ki te parae i te tuahiahi ki te whakaaroaro: na ka maranga ake ona kanohi, ka titiro, na ko nga kamera e haere mai ana.
64 Also Rebekah lift vp her eyes, and when she saw Izhak, she lighted downe from the camel.
A ka whakaara ake a Ripeka i ona kanohi, a, no tona kitenga i a Ihaka, ka marere ia ki raro i te kamera.
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.
A ka mea atu ia ki te pononga, Ko wai tenei tangata e haere mai nei i te parae ki te whakatau i a tatou? Ano ra ko te pononga, Ko toku ariki tena: na ka mau ia ki tetahi arai kanohi, ka hipoki i a ia.
66 And the seruant tolde Izhak all things, that he had done.
Na ka korerotia e te pononga ki a Ihaka nga mea katoa i mea ai ia.
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.
Na ka kawea ia e Ihaka ki te teneti o tona whaea, o Hara, a tangohia ana e ia a Ripeka, a ka noho ia hei wahine mana; a ka aroha ia ki a ia: a ka whai tanga manawa a Ihaka i muri i te matenga o tona whaea.
