Genesis 24
1 Nowe Abraham was olde, and striken in yeeres, and the Lord had blessed Abraham in all things.
Yeroo sana Abrahaam dulloomee, umuriin isaa akka malee dheeratee ture; Waaqayyos waan hundumaan isa eebbise.
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,
Innis tajaajilaa mana isaa hangafa kan waan inni qabu hunda irratti itti gaafatamaa taʼeen akkana jedhe; “Mee harka kee gudeeda koo jala kaaʼi.
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.
Ani akka ati intallan warra Kanaʼaan kanneen ani gidduu isaanii jiraadhuu keessaa ilma kootiif niitii hin fidneef Waaqayyo Waaqa samiitii fi Waaqa lafaatiin kakattu nan barbaada;
4 But thou shalt go vnto my countrey, and to my kinred, and take a wife vnto my sone Izhak.
garuu gara biyya kootii fi gara firoota koo dhaqiitii ilma koo Yisihaaqiif niitii barbaadi.”
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?
Tajaajilaan sun immoo, “Yoo dubartiin sun na wajjin gara biyya kanaa dhufuuf fedhii qabaachuu baatte hoo? Ani ilma kee gara biyya ati keessaa dhufte sanaatti deebisee geessuun qabaa?” jedhee isa gaafate.
6 To whom Abraham answered, Beware that thou bring not my sonne thither againe.
Abrahaamis akkana isaan jedhe; “Ati akka ilma koo deebiftee biyya sanatti hin geessine of eeggadhu.
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.
Waaqayyo Waaqni samii inni mana abbaa kootii fi biyya ani itti dhaladhe keessaa na fidee, ‘Ani biyya kana sanyii keetiif nan kenna’ jechuudhaan natti dubbatee kakatee waadaa naa seene sun akka ati achii ilma kootiif niitii fidduuf ergamaa isaa fuula kee dura ni erga.
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.
Yoo dubartiin sun si wajjin dhufuuf fedhii qabaachuu baatte immoo ati kakuu koo kana irraa bilisa taata. Ilma koo garuu gonkumaa achi hin deebisin.”
9 Then the seruant put his hand vnder the thigh of Abraham his master, and sware to him for this matter.
Kanaafuu tajaajilaan sun harka isaa gudeeda gooftaa isaa Abrahaam jala kaaʼee waaʼee waan kanaa kakateef.
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.
Tajaajilaan sunis gaala gooftaa isaa keessaa kudhan fudhatee gooftaa isaa biraa immoo kennaawwan filatamoo gosa hundaa feʼatee qajeele; innis magaalaa Naahoor ishee kaaba dhiʼa Phaadaan Arraam keessatti argamtuu dhaqe.
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.
Innis akka gaalawwan sun magaalattiin alatti boolla bishaanii cina jijilbeenfatan godhe; yeroon sun gara galgalaa yeroo itti dubartoonni bishaan waraabbachuu baʼan ture.
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.
Innis akkana jedhee kadhate; “Yaa Waaqayyo Waaqa gooftaa koo Abrahaam, harʼa na milkeessiitii gooftaa koo Abrahaamiif garaa laafi.
13 Lo, I stand by the well of water, whiles the mens daughters of this citie come out to drawe water.
Kunoo, ani burqaa kana bira dhaabadheen jira; intallan warra magaalaa kanaas bishaan waraabbachuuf as baʼaa jiru.
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.
Intalli ani, ‘Maaloo akka ani bishaan dhuguuf okkotee kee gad qabi’ jedheenii isheenis, ‘Dhugi; ani gaalawwan kees siifin obaasaa’ naan jettu ishee ati garbicha kee Yisihaaqiif filatte haa taatu. Anis kanaan akka ati gooftaa kootiif garaa laafte beeka.”
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.
Utuu inni kadhatee hin fixatin Ribqaan okkotee ishee gatiittiitti baadhattee dhufte. Isheenis intala ilma Miilkaa kan Betuuʼeel jedhamu sanaa turte; Miilkaan immoo niitii obboleessa Abrahaam kan Naahoor jedhamu sanaa ti.
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.
Intalli sunis akka malee bareedduu fi durba turte; dhiirri tokko iyyuu ishee wajjin hin ciifne. Isheenis gara burqaatti gad buutee okkotee isheetti bishaan guuttattee ol deebite.
17 Then the seruant ranne to meete her, and said, Let me drinke, I pray thee, a litle water of thy pitcher.
Tajaajilaan sunis ishee simachuuf itti fiigee, “Maaloo okkotee kee keessaa bishaan xinnoo ishee naa kenni” jedheen.
18 And she said, Drinke sir: and she hasted, and let downe her pitcher vpon her hand and gaue him drinke.
Isheenis, “Yaa gooftaa ko, dhugi” jetteenii daftee okkotee ishee harkatti gad buufattee bishaan dhugaatii kenniteef.
19 And when she had giuen him drinke, she said, I will drawe water for thy camels also vntill they haue drunken inough.
Isheenis erga bishaan isa obaaftee booddee, “Ani gaalawwan keetiifis hamma isaan dhuganii dheebuu baʼanitti nan waraaba” jette.
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.
Daftees okkotee ishee keessaa bidiruutti garagalchitee ammas bishaan waraabuudhaaf gara boolla bishaaniitti fiigde; gaalawwan isaa hundaafis bishaan waraabde.
21 So the man wondred at her, and helde his peace, to knowe whether the Lord had made his iourney prosperous or not.
Namichi sunis akka Waaqayyo karaa isaaf milkeesse yookaan akka isaaf hin milkeessin baruuf jedhee calʼisee xiyyeeffatee ishee ilaalaa ture.
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:
Erga gaalawwan bishaan dhuganii booddee namichi amartii funyaanii kan warqee kan walakkaa saqilii ulfaatuu fi bitawoo warqee kan saqilii kudhan ulfaatu lama gad baasee,
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?
“Ati intala eenyuu ti? Yoo mana abbaa keetii iddoon bulan jiraatte maaloo mee natti himi” jedhee gaafate.
24 Then she said to him, I am the daughter of Bethuel the sonne of Milcah whom she bare vnto Nahor.
Isheenis, “Ani intala Betuuʼeel; Betuuʼeel immoo ilma Miilkaan Naahooriif deessee dha” isaan jette.
25 Moreouer she said vnto him, We haue litter also and prouender ynough, and roume to lodge in.
Itti dabaltees, “Cidii fi okaa baayʼee qabna; kutaan isin bultanis jira” jetteen.
26 And the man bowed himselfe and worshipped the Lord,
Namichis gad jedhee Waaqayyoof sagade;
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.
akkanas jedhe; “Waaqayyo Waaqni gooftaa koo Abrahaam kan arjummaa isaatii fi amanamummaa isaa gooftaa koo hin dhowwatin sun haa eebbifamu. Waaqayyo anas gara mana obboloota gooftaa kootti karaa irra na qajeelcheera.”
28 And the maide ranne and tolde them of her mothers house according to these wordes.
Intalattiinis fiigdee dhaqxee warra mana haadha ishee jiranitti waaʼee waan kanaa himte.
29 Now Rebekah had a brother called Laban, and Laban ranne vnto the man to the well.
Ribqaan obboleessa Laabaa jedhamu tokko qabdi turte; Laabaanis fiigee namicha burqaa bishaanii bira jiru sana bira dhaqe.
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.
Innis yommuu obboleettii isaa irratti amartii funyaanii warqeetii fi bitawoo argetti, yommuu utuu Ribqaan waan namichi sun isheedhaan jedhe dubbattuu dhagaʼetti, gara namichaatti gad baʼe; namichis burqaa bishaanii cina gaalawwan bira dhaabatee ture.
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?
Namicha sanaanis, “Yaa namicha Waaqayyo eebbise, kottu; ati maaliif ala dhaabatta? Ani manicha qopheesseera; gaalawwaniifis iddoo qopheesseera” jedhe.
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.
Kanaafuu namichi sun gara manaa dhaqe; Laabaanis gaalawwan irraa feʼiisa buusee cidii fi okaa kenneef; akka miilla isaanii dhiqataniif immoo namichaa fi warra isa wajjin turaniif bishaan kenne.
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.
Ergasiis nyaanni dhiʼaateef; namichi sun garuu, “Ani hamman dhimma koo himadhutti hin nyaadhu” jedhe. Laabaanis, “Himadhukaa” jedheen.
34 Then he said, I am Abrahams seruant,
Innis akkana jedhe; “Ani tajaajilaa Abrahaamii ti.
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.
Waaqayyo, gooftaa koo guddaa eebbiseera; innis sooromeera. Hoolotaa fi loowwan, meetii fi warqee, garboota dhiiraatii fi dubartii, gaalawwanii fi harroota isaaf kenneera.
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.
Niitiin gooftaa kootii Saaraan bara dulluma ishee keessa ilma isaaf deesse; innis waan qabu hunda ilma isaatiif kenneera.
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:
Gooftaan koo akkana jedhee na kakachiise; ‘Ati intallan Kanaʼaan kanneen ani biyya isaanii keessa jiraadhu keessaa ilma koof niitii hin fidin;
38 But thou shalt go vnto my fathers house and to my kinred, and take a wife vnto my sonne.
garuu gara mana abbaa kootii fi gara gosa koo dhaqiitii ilma kootiif niitii fidi.’
39 Then I saide vnto my master, What if the woman will not follow me?
“Anis, ‘Yoo dubartiin sun na wajjin dhufuuf fedhii qabaachuu baattee hoo?’ jedhee gooftaa koo nan gaafadhe.
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.
“Innis akkana naan jedhe; ‘Waaqayyo inni ani fuula isaa dura jiraadhu ergamaa isaa si wajjin ergee karaa kee siif milkeessa; atis gosa koo fi mana abbaa koo keessaa ilma kootiif niitii ni fidda.
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.
Ati yommuu gara gosa koo dhaqxu kakuu koo irraa bilisa taata; yoo isaan intala sana sitti kennuu didani iyyuu ati kakuu koo irraa bilisa taata.’
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,
“Ani harʼa yommuun gara burqaa kanaa dhufetti akkanan jedhe; ‘Yaa Waaqayyo, Waaqa gooftaa koo Abrahaam yoo fedhii kee taʼe karaa ani deemu naa milkeessi.
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,
Kunoo, ani burqaa kana bira dhaabadheera; yoo durbi tokko bishaan waraabbachuu dhuftee ani immoo, “Maaloo okkotee kee keessaa bishaan xinnoo ishee na obaasi” jedheenii,
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.
isheenis, “Dhugi; ani gaalawwan keetiifis nan waraaba” naan jette, isheen kan Waaqayyo ilma gooftaa kootiif file haa taatu.’
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.
“Utuu ani garaa koo keessatti kadhadhee hin fixatin Ribqaan okkotee ishee gatiittiitti baadhattee gad dhufte. Isheenis gara burqaa sanaatti gad buutee bishaan waraabbatte; anis, ‘Maaloo bishaan na obaasi’ nan jedheen.
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.
“Isheenis daftee okkotee ishee gatiittii irraa gad buufattee, ‘Dhugi; ani gaalawwan kees nan obaasaa’ jette. Anis nan dhuge; isheen immoo gaalawwan obaafte.
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:
“Anis, ‘Ati intala eenyuu ti?’ jedheen ishee gaafadhe. “Ishee immoo, ‘Ani intala Betuuʼeel; Betuuʼeel immoo ilma Miilkaan Naahooriif deessee dha’ jette. “Anis funyaan isheetti amartii, harka isheetti immoo bitawoo nan kaaʼe.
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.
Anis gad jedhee Waaqayyoof nan sagade; Waaqayyo Waaqa gooftaa koo Abrahaam isa akka ani intala fira isaa ilma isaatiif geessu karaa qajeelaa irra na buuse sana nan eebbise.
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.
Egaa isin yoo gooftaa kootti garaa laafummaa fi amanamummaa argisiiftan natti himaa; yoo taʼuu baate immoo akka ani gara bitaatti yookaan gara mirgaatti goru natti himaa.”
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.
Laabaa fi Betuuʼeelis akkana jedhanii deebisan; “Wanni kun Waaqayyo biraa dhufe; nu waan hamaa yookaan waan tolaa sitti dubbachuu hin dandeenyu.
51 Beholde, Rebehak is before thee, take her and goe, that she may be thy masters sonnes wife, euen as the Lord hath said.
Kunoo, Ribqaan fuula kee dura jirti; ishee fudhadhuu deemi; isheenis akkuma Waaqayyo dubbatetti niitii ilma gooftaa keetii haa taatu.”
52 And when Abrahams seruant heard their wordes, he bowed himselfe toward the earth vnto the Lord.
Tajaajilaan Abrahaamis yommuu waan isaan jedhan dhagaʼetti lafatti gombifamee Waaqayyoof sagade.
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.
Kana booddees tajaajilaan sun faaya meetii fi warqee, uffata adda addaas baasee Ribqaadhaaf kenne; obboleessa isheetii fi haadha isheetiifis kennaa gatii guddaa baasu kenne.
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.
Innii fi namoonni isa wajjin turanis nyaatanii dhuganii achuma bulan. Yommuu isaan guyyaa itti aanu ganamaan kaʼanitti tajaajilaan sun, “Akka ani gara gooftaa kootti deebiʼuuf na geggeessaa” jedhe.
55 Then her brother and her mother answered, Let the maide abide with vs, at the least ten dayes: then shall she goe.
Obboleessi isheetii fi haati ishee garuu, “Intalattiin guyyuma kudhan illee nu bira haa turtu; ergasiis isheen deemuu dandeessi” jedhan.
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.
Inni garuu, “Erga Waaqayyo karaa koo naa milkeessee isin na hin tursinaa; akka ani gara gooftaa kootti deebiʼuuf na geggeessaa” isaaniin jedhe.
57 Then they said, We will call the maide, and aske her consent.
Isaanis, “Mee intalattii waamnee waan isheen jettu gaafanna” jedhan.
58 And they called Rebekah, and saide vnto her, Wilt thou go with this man? And she answered, I will go.
Kana irratti isaan Ribqaa waamanii, “Namicha kana wajjin deemuu feetaa?” jedhanii ishee gaafatan. Isheenis, “Ani nan deema” jette.
59 So they let Rebekah their sister goe, and her nourse, with Abrahams seruant and his men.
Kanaafuu isaan obboleettii isaanii Ribqaa fi guddiftuu ishee, tajaajilaa Abrahaamii fi namoota isaa wajjin geggeessan.
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.
Isaanis akkana jedhanii Ribqaa eebbisan; “Yaa obboleettii keenya, kumaa kumaatama taʼi; sanyiin kee karra diinota isaa haa dhaalu.”
61 Then Rebekah arose, and her maydes, and rode vpon the camels, and followed the man. and the seruant tooke Rebekah, and departed.
Ribqaa fi tajaajiltuuwwan ishee qophaaʼanii gaalawwan isaanii yaabbatanii namicha faana buʼan; namichis Ribqaa fudhatee deeme.
62 Nowe Izhak came from the way of Beer-lahai-roi, (for he dwelt in the South countrey)
Yeroo sana Yisihaaq boolla bishaanii Beʼeer Lahaayirooʼiitii dhufee Negeeb keessa jiraachaa ture.
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.
Innis gaaf tokko gara galgalaa utuu bakkeetti baʼee waa yaadaa jiruu oli ilaalee kunoo gaalawwan dhufaa jiran arge.
64 Also Rebekah lift vp her eyes, and when she saw Izhak, she lighted downe from the camel.
Ribqaanis ol ilaaltee Yisihaaqin argite; gaala irraas buutee
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.
tajaajilaa sanaan, “Namichi nu simachuuf bakkee keessa as deemaa jiru sun eenyu?” jettee gaafatte. Tajaajilaan sunis, “Inni gooftaa koo ti” jedhee deebiseef. Kanaafuu haguuggii ishee fudhattee ofitti haguugde.
66 And the seruant tolde Izhak all things, that he had done.
Tajaajilaan sunis waan hojjete hunda Yisihaaqitti hime.
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.
Yisihaaqis dunkaana haadha isaa Saaraatti ol ishee galfate; Ribqaa fuudhes. Akkasiin isheen niitii isaa taate; innis ishee jaallate; Yisihaaqis duʼa haadha isaa irraa ni jajjabaate.
