< Genesis 24 >

1 And Abraham was old, well stricken in age; and the LORD had blessed Abraham in all things.
A: ibalaha: me da ode bagohame lai dagoiba: le, da: idafa ba: su. Be Hina Gode da ea hou huluane amo ganodini hahawane dogolegelewane fidilalusu.
2 And Abraham said unto his servant, the elder of his house, that ruled over all that he had: 'Put, I pray thee, thy hand under my thigh.
E da ea da: i hamoi hawa: hamosu dunu (amo da ea liligi huluane ouligisu) ema amane sia: i, “Dia lobo amo na masele hagudu ligisili, dafawane ilegele sia: ma!
3 And I will make thee swear by the LORD, the God of heaven and the God of the earth, that thou shalt not take a wife for my son of the daughters of the Canaanites, among whom I dwell.
Na da agoane hanai galebe. Di da Hina Gode amo da Hebene Hina amola osobo bagade Hina, amo Ea Dioba: le gasa bagade sia: ma. Di da Ga: ina: ne fi (amo ganodini na da wali esala) amoga nagofe uda lama: ne mae ilegema.
4 But thou shalt go unto my country, and to my kindred, and take a wife for my son, even for Isaac.'
Be na musa: fi sogega asili, na fidafa amo ganodini hogolalu, nagofe Aisage uda lama: ne, a:fini sia: sima!”
5 And the servant said unto him: 'Peradventure the woman will not be willing to follow me unto this land; must I needs bring thy son back unto the land from whence thou camest?'
Ea hawa: hamosu dunu da bu adole ba: i, “Be amo uda da na amola bu sigi misunu hihi galea, na da adi hamoma: bela: ? Na da dia mano amo dia musa: sogega bu oule masa: bela: ?”
6 And Abraham said unto him: 'Beware thou that thou bring not my son back thither.
Be A: ibalaha: me da amane sia: i, “Hame mabu! Di amoga nagofe bu mae oule masa!
7 The LORD, the God of heaven, who took me from my father's house, and from the land of my nativity, and who spoke unto me, and who swore unto me, saying: Unto thy seed will I give this land; He will send His angel before thee, and thou shalt take a wife for my son from thence.
Hina Gode amo Hebene amoga Hina esala, e da na ada amo ea diasu amola na soge yolesili ga masa: ne sia: ne, nama gasawane amane sia: i, ‘Na da dafawane ilegele sia: sa! Na da amo soge (Ga: ina: ne) digaga fi ilima imunu.’ Amo Gode da Ea a: igele dunu dima bisimusa: asunasimu. Bai di da amo sogega nagofema ima: ne uda lamu defele ba: mu.
8 And if the woman be not willing to follow thee, then thou shalt be clear from this my oath; only thou shalt not bring my son back thither.'
Be uda da di guiguda: oule misunu amo higasea, defea, dia da nama Gode Ea Dioba: le sia: i, amo na da bu hame dawa: mu. Be na mano maedafa bu oule masa.”
9 And the servant put his hand under the thigh of Abraham his master, and swore to him concerning this matter.
Amaiba: le, hawa: hamosu dunu da ea hina A: ibalaha: me amo ea masele hagudu ea lobo ligisili, Gode Ea Dioba: le gasa bagade amo liligi hamoma: ne ilegele sia: i.
10 And the servant took ten camels, of the camels of his master, and departed; having all goodly things of his master's in his hand; and he arose, and went to Aram-naharaim, unto the city of Nahor.
Amalalu, hawa: hamosu dunu da ea hina ga: mele nabuane gala amo lale, ea hina ea liligi noga: iwane aguni, gadili asi. E da Alame Nahalaime soge amoga doaga: musa: asili, Na: iho moilaiga doaga: i.
11 And he made the camels to kneel down without the city by the well of water at the time of evening, the time that women go out to draw water.
Hano uli dogoi moilai gadili sogebi gala amoga doaga: loba, ea sia: beba: le, ga: mele da muguni bugi. Eso dabe da gadenenewane ba: i. Amoha, uda ilia hou da hano uli dogoi amoga hano dima: ne hiougimusa: ahoasu.
12 And he said: 'O LORD, the God of my master Abraham, send me, I pray Thee, good speed this day, and show kindness unto my master Abraham.
Amalalu, e da Godema amane sia: ne gadoi, “Hina Godedafa! Na hina A: ibalaha: me amo ea Gode! Na hawa: hamosu hahawane dagoma: ne Di fidima, amola na hina A: ibalaha: mema dia asigi hou olelema.
13 Behold, I stand by the fountain of water; and the daughters of the men of the city come out to draw water.
Ba: ma! Na da amo hano nasu ulidou gadenene lela amola amo moilai dunu ilia uda mano da hano dimusa: manebe.
14 So let it come to pass, that the damsel to whom I shall say: Let down thy pitcher, I pray thee, that I may drink; and she shall say: Drink, and I will give thy camels drink also; let the same be she that Thou hast appointed for Thy servant, even for Isaac; and thereby shall I know that Thou hast shown kindness unto my master.'
Na da agoane hanai gala. Na da a: finima ‘Dia hano disu amo na hano moma: ne ligisima.’ sia: sea, amola e da amane sia: sea, ‘Defea! Moma! Amola na da dia ga: mele moma: ne hano dili imunu.’ Amo hou ba: sea, Hina Gode da amo a: fini na hina ea mano lama: ne ilegei dagoi na da dawa: mu. Amola Di da na hinama asigi hou olelei dagoi, amo na da dawa: mu.”
15 And it came to pass, before he had done speaking, that, behold, Rebekah came out, who was born to Bethuel the son of Milcah, the wife of Nahor, Abraham's brother, with her pitcher upon her shoulder.
E da sia: ne gadolaloba, Lebega da misini, ea hano ganagu amo gisa manebe ba: i. Lebega da Bediuele ea idiwi, amola Bediuele ea: me da A: ibalaha: me ola Na: iho amo idua, ea dio amo Miliga.
16 And the damsel was very fair to look upon, a virgin, neither had any man known her; and she went down to the fountain, and filled her pitcher, and came up.
Lebega ea ba: su da noga: idafa ba: i. E da a: fini galu. Dunu afae da e amola gilisili hame golai. E da hano nasua asili, ea ganagu nabalesili, bu heda: i.
17 And the servant ran to meet her, and said: 'Give me to drink, I pray thee, a little water of thy pitcher.'
A: ibalaha: me ea hawa: hamosu dunu da hedolo ema misini, amane sia: i, “Na da dia ganagu amoga hano fonobahadi manu da defeala: ?”
18 And she said: 'Drink, my lord'; and she hastened, and let down her pitcher upon her hand, and gave him drink.
A: fini da amane sia: i, “Defea! Ada! Di moma!” Amalalu, e da ganagu ligisili, ea lobo ganodini gaguli, ema hano i.
19 And when she had done giving him drink, she said: 'I will draw for thy camels also, until they have done drinking.'
Hano dili ianu, e amane sia: i, “Na da dia ga: mele moma: ne amola hano dili imunu. Ilia sadi dagoiba: le fawane yolesimu.”
20 And she hastened, and emptied her pitcher into the trough, and ran again unto the well to draw, and drew for all his camels.
Amaiba: le, e da ea ganagu amo hano ga: mele hano nasu ganodini sogasalili, hano uli dogoi amoga hehenane, hano eno dili, ga: mele sadi dagoiba: le yolesi.
21 And the man looked stedfastly on her; holding his peace, to know whether the LORD had made his journey prosperous or not.
A: ibalaha: me hawa: hamosu dunu da ouiya: le esalu. Gode da ea ahoabe bai amo noga: le fidi amo dawa: musa: gini, E da amo a: fini ea hou ha: giwane ba: lalu.
22 And it came to pass, as the camels had done drinking, that the man took a golden ring of half a shekel weight, and two bracelets for her hands of ten shekels weight of gold;
Ga: mele da hano na dagoloba, A:ibalaha: me ea hawa: hamosu dunu da mi bione gala: su gouliga hamoi amo Lebega ea mi ga: i, amola gouli lobofasele fei. Mi bione gala: su ea dioi defei da gala: me biyale agoane amola fesuale fesu da gala: me 100agoane.
23 and said: 'Whose daughter art thou? tell me, I pray thee. Is there room in thy father's house for us to lodge in?'
Amalalu, A:ibalaha: me ea hawa: hamosu dunu da ema amane adole ba: i, “Di da nowa ea manola: ? Nama adoma! Dia ada diasu amo ganodini nini golama: ne sogebi ganabela: ?
24 And she said unto him: 'I am the daughter of Bethuel the son of Milcah, whom she bore unto Nahor.'
A: fini da bu adole i, “Na da Bediuele ea mano. Bediuele da Na: iho amola idua Miliga ela mano.”
25 She said moreover unto him: 'We have both straw and provender enough, and room to lodge in.'
Amalalu, e bu adole i, “Ninia diasua da gisi ha: i manu bagohame gala. Amola dilia gasia golama: ne, sogebi bagade gala.
26 And the man bowed his head, and prostrated himself before the LORD.
Amalalu, hawa: hamosu dunu e da beguduli, Hina Godema nodone sia: ne gadoi.
27 And he said: 'Blessed be the LORD, the God of my master Abraham, who hath not forsaken His mercy and His truth toward my master; as for me, the LORD hath led me in the way to the house of my master's brethren.'
E amane sia: i, “Na da Hina Gode dio nodone gaguia gadosa. Na hina A: ibalaha: me, amo ea Gode da ema asigi hou hame yolesi. Be Hina Gode da na bisili asili, nama na hina ea fi dunu ilia diasu noga: le olelei.
28 And the damsel ran, and told her mother's house according to these words.
Lebega da hehenane, ea ame fi ilima amo hou olelei.
29 And Rebekah had a brother, and his name was Laban; and Laban ran out unto the man, unto the fountain.
Lebega ea ola amo ea dio La: iba: ne esalu. La: iba: ne da hehenane, hano nasu amoga doaga: musa: asi.
30 And it came to pass, when he saw the ring, and the bracelets upon his sister's hands, and when he heard the words of Rebekah his sister, saying: 'Thus spoke the man unto me,' that he came unto the man; and, behold, he stood by the camels at the fountain.
E da Lebega lai liligi, amo mi bione ga: i amola gouli lobofasele fei ba: i dagoi. E da Lebega ea sia: nabi dagoi. Amabeba: le, e da asili, A:ibalaha: me ea hawa: hamosu dunu ea ga: mele amo hano nasu gadenene lelebe ba: i.
31 And he said: 'Come in, thou blessed of the LORD; wherefore standest thou without? for I have cleared the house, and made room for the camels.'
E amane sia: i, “Hina Gode da dima hahawane dogolegele ilegesa. Misa! Di da abuli gadili lela. Na da di golama: ne amola ga: mele golama: ne diasu hahamoi dagoi.”
32 And the man came into the house, and he ungirded the camels; and he gave straw and provender for the camels, and water to wash his feet and the feet of the men that were with him.
Amaiba: le, dunu da diasuga asi. La: iba: ne da ga: mele amoga liligi lale ligisi. E da gisi amola ha: i manu ga: mele ilima gaguli misi, amola A: ibalaha: me ea hawa: hamosu dunu amola ea fidisu dunu ilia emo dodofema: ne, hano dili i.
33 And there was set food before him to eat; but he said: 'I will not eat, until I have told mine errand.' And he said: 'Speak on.'
Amalalu, amo dunu ha: i moma: ne, ilia da ha: i manu gaguli misi. Be e amane sia: i, Na da na sia: ne iasu sia: i dagoiba: le fawane, ha: i manu. La: iba: ne da amane sia: i, “Defea! Ninima adoma!”
34 And he said: 'I am Abraham's servant.
Amaiba: le, e amane sia: i, “Na da A: ibalaha: me ea hawa: hamosu dunu.
35 And the LORD hath blessed my master greatly; and he is become great; and He hath given him flocks and herds, and silver and gold, and men-servants and maid-servants, and camels and asses.
Hina Gode da na hina amo hahawane dogolegelewane bagade fidibiba: le, e da wali bagade gagui dunu esala. Gode da ema sibi, bulamagau, silifa, gouli, hawa: hamosu dunu, hawa: hamosu uda, ga: mele, amola dougi ema i dagoi.
36 And Sarah my master's wife bore a son to my master when she was old; and unto him hath he given all that he hath.
Ea uda Sela da da: i hamoi be ema dunu mano da lalelegei. Na hina da amo manoma ea gagui huluane i dagoi.
37 And my master made me swear, saying: Thou shalt not take a wife for my son of the daughters of the Canaanites, in whose land I dwell.
Na hina da logeiba: le, na da Gode Ea Dioba: le gasa bagade ilegele sia: i. Na hina da amane sia: i, “Na da Ga: ina: ne fi amo ganodini esala. Be amoga nagofe uda lama: ne, uda mae sia: sima.
38 But thou shalt go unto my father's house, and to my kindred, and take a wife for my son.
Be na ada ea sosogo fi amola na fidafa ilima nagofe ea uda lala masa.’
39 And I said unto my master: Peradventure the woman will not follow me.
Amalalu, na da na hinama amane adole ba: i, “Be amo uda da na amola bu sigi misunu hihi galea, na adi hamoma: bela: ?”
40 And he said unto me: The LORD, before whom I walk, will send His angel with thee, and prosper thy way; and thou shalt take a wife for my son of my kindred, and of my father's house;
E da nama bu adole i, ‘Hina Godedafa, amo Ea sia: na eso huluane naba, E di fidima: ne Ea a: igele dunu asunasimu. Di na fidafa, amola na ada ea sosogo fi amoga uda na mano ea lama: ne sia: sima.
41 then shalt thou be clear from my oath, when thou comest to my kindred; and if they give her not to thee, thou shalt be clear from my oath.
Dia gasa bagade sia: amo mae hamoma: ne, logo afadafa fawane gala. Di da na fi ilima asili amola ilia amo uda dima imunu higasea, defea, yolema.’
42 And I came this day unto the fountain, and said: O LORD, the God of my master Abraham, if now Thou do prosper my way which I go:
Na da wali eso hano nasu uli dogoi amoga doaga: loba, na amane sia: ne gadoi, ‘Hina Gode! Na hina A: ibalaha: me ea Gode! Dia na wali hou hamobe fidima!
43 behold, I stand by the fountain of water; and let it come to pass, that the maiden that cometh forth to draw, to whom I shall say: Give me, I pray thee, a little water from thy pitcher to drink;
Na da hano nasu uli dogoiga esala. A: fini afae hano dimusa: masea, e da nama ea ganagu, hano dili ima: ne na da adole ba: mu.
44 and she shall say to me: Both drink thou, and I will also draw for thy camels; let the same be the woman whom the LORD hath appointed for my master's son.
E da amo iasea amola baligili na ga: mele ilima hano imunusa: sia: sea, amo da na hina ea mano lama: ne a: fini Di ilegei dagoi, na dawa: mu.’
45 And before I had done speaking to my heart, behold, Rebekah came forth with her pitcher on her shoulder; and she went down unto the fountain, and drew. And I said unto her: Let me drink, I pray thee.
Na sia: ne gadoi da hame dagoloba, Lebega da hano ganagu gisa manebe ba: i. E hano nasu amoga hano dimusa: sa: i. Na ema amane sia: i, ‘Na da dima edegesa. Hano nama ima.’
46 And she made haste, and let down her pitcher from her shoulder, and said: Drink, and I will give thy camels drink also. So I drank, and she made the camels drink also.
E hedolo ea ganagu gisi, amo osoba ligisili, amane sia: i, ‘Defea! Moma! Na da dia ga: mele amola ilima hano dili imunu.’ Amalalu, na hano mai, amola e da ga: mele ilima hano i.
47 And I asked her, and said: Whose daughter art thou? And she said: The daughter of Bethuel, Nahor's son, whom Milcah bore unto him. And I put the ring upon her nose, and the bracelets upon her hands.
Na ema amane adole ba: i, ‘Dia ada nowala: ?’ E bu adole i, ‘Na ada da Bediuele amo Na: iho amola Miliga ela mano.’ Amalalu, na da ea mi amoga mi bione gala: su amola ea lobofasele fei.
48 And I bowed my head, and prostrated myself before the LORD, and blessed the LORD, the God of my master Abraham, who had led me in the right way to take my master's brother's daughter for his son.
Na muguni bugili Hina Godema nodone sia: ne gadoi. Na da Hina Godedafa, na hina A: ibalaha: me ea Gode, amo Ea Dio nodone gaguia gadoi. E da moloiwane na hina ea fi amoga doaga: musa: logo olelei dagoiba: le amola na hina ea mano uda lamu amo noga: le oleleiba: le, na nodoi.
49 And now if ye will deal kindly and truly with my master, tell me; and if not, tell me; that I may turn to the right hand, or to the left.'
Defea! Dilia da moloiwane na hina ea hanai hamomusa: dawa: i galea, nama adoma. Be higa: i galea, amo nama adoma. Amasea, na da fa: no hamomu, amo na da sia: mu.
50 Then Laban and Bethuel answered and said: 'The thing proceedeth from the LORD; we cannot speak unto thee bad or good.
La: iba: ne amola Bediuele da bu adole i, “Amo hou Hina Gode Hi hamoiba: le, ninia sia: mu da hamedei.
51 Behold, Rebekah is before thee, take her, and go, and let her be thy master's son's wife, as the LORD hath spoken.'
Lebega da amogai lela. Lale masa. Hina Godedafa Ea sia: defele, e da dia hina ea mano ema fimu da defea.”
52 And it came to pass, that, when Abraham's servant heard their words, he bowed himself down to the earth unto the LORD.
A: ibalaha: me ea hawa: hamosu dunu da amo sia: nabaloba, beguduli, Hina Godema nodone sia: ne gadoi.
53 And the servant brought forth jewels of silver, and jewels of gold, and raiment, and gave them to Rebekah; he gave also to her brother and to her mother precious things.
Amalalu, ea liligi amoga e da abula, silifa, gouli amola muni bagade igi lale, Lebegama i. E da muni bagade liligi Lebega ea ola amola ea: mema i.
54 And they did eat and drink, he and the men that were with him, and tarried all night; and they rose up in the morning, and he said: 'Send me away unto my master.'
Amalalu, A:ibalaha: me ea hawa: hamosu dunu amola ea fidisu dunu da ha: i amola hano nanu golai. Hahabe, nedigili, wa: legadole, e amane sia: i, “Dilia na hina ema na bu asunasima!”
55 And her brother and her mother said: 'Let the damsel abide with us a few days, at the least ten; after that she shall go.'
Be Lebega ea ola amola ea: me da amane sia: i, “A: fini da hi afae o eso nabuane gala amo gui esalumu da defea. Amolalu masunu da defea.”
56 And he said unto them: 'Delay me not, seeing the LORD hath prospered my way; send me away that I may go to my master.'
Be e da bu adole i, “Ninia ouesalumu mae sia: ma. Bai Hina Gode da na sofe ahoasu amola hamobe noga: le didili fidi. Na da na hina ema bu masunu da defea.”
57 And they said: 'We will call the damsel, and inquire at her mouth.'
Ilia da bu adole i, “Ninia da a: fini misa: ne sia: mu. Ea sia: nabimu da defea.”
58 And they called Rebekah, and said unto her: 'Wilt thou go with this man?' And she said: 'I will go.'
Amaiba: le, ilia da Lebega misa: ne sia: i. Ilia da ema amane adole ba: i, “Di da amo dunu sigi masa: bela: ?” E bu adole i, “Ma!”
59 And they sent away Rebekah their sister, and her nurse, and Abraham's servant, and his men.
Amabeba: le, ilia da Lebega amola ea hawa: hamosu uda da: i, amo A: ibalaha: me ea hawa: hamosu dunu, amola ea fidisu dunu amo sigi masa: ne sia: i.
60 And they blessed Rebekah, and said unto her: 'Our sister, be thou the mother of thousands of ten thousands, and let thy seed possess the gate of those that hate them.'
Amola ilia da Lebegama amo hahawane dogolegele sia: su sia: i, “Di, ninia dalusi, dunu fi osea: idafa ilima ame esaloma! Dima lalelegei fi da ilima ha lai dunu, ilima osa: le heda: mu da defea!”
61 And Rebekah arose, and her damsels, and they rode upon the camels, and followed the man. And the servant took Rebekah, and went his way.
Amalalu, Lebega amola ea a: fini fidisu huluane da liligi momagele, ga: mele da: iya fila heda: le, A:ibalaha: me ea hawa: hamosu dunu sigi asi. A: ibalaha: me ea hawa: hamosu dunu da Lebega oule asi.
62 And Isaac came from the way of Beer-lahai-roi; for he dwelt in the land of the South.
Aisage da dunu hame esalebe hafoga: i soge amo ea dio da “Gode Esala da na Ba: lala amo Ea Hano Nasu Uli Dogoi.” amogai misini esalebe ba: i. Amo da Ga: ina: ne soge ga (south) la: idi dialu.
63 And Isaac went out to meditate in the field at the eventide; and he lifted up his eyes, and saw, and, behold, there were camels coming.
E da baloga amo odagiaba sogega ahoanoba, ga: mele manebe ba: i.
64 And Rebekah lifted up her eyes, and when she saw Isaac, she alighted from the camel.
Lebega da Aisage ba: loba, ga: mele amoga esalu, gudu aligila sa: i.
65 And she said unto the servant: 'What man is this that walketh in the field to meet us?' And the servant said: 'It is my master.' And she took her veil, and covered herself.
E da A: ibalaha: me hawa: hamosu dunu ema amane adole ba: i, “Amo dunu ninima manebe da nowala: ?” A: ibalaha: me ea hawa: hamosu dunu da bu adole i, “E da na hina.” Amaiba: le, Lebega da ea dialuma abula lale, ea odagi dedeboi.
66 And the servant told Isaac all the things that he had done.
Amalalu, hawa: hamosu dunu da ea hamoi huluane Aisagema olelei.
67 And Isaac brought her into his mother Sarah's tent, and took Rebekah, and she became his wife; and he loved her. And Isaac was comforted for his mother.
Amalalu, Aisage da Lebega lale, abula diasu amo ea: me Sela musa: esalu amoga oule misi. Aisage da Lebegama bagade asigi galu. Ea: me Sela da bogoi dagoiba: le e da da: i dioi galu. Be Lebega laiba: le ea dogo denesi.
