Genesis 24
1 And Abraham was old, and well stricken in age: and the LORD had blessed Abraham in all things.
Авраам же бяше стар, заматеревший во днех: и Господь благослови Авраама во всех.
2 And Abraham said unto his eldest servant of his house, that ruled over all that he had, Put, I pray you, your hand under my thigh:
И рече Авраам рабу своему старейшему дому своего, обладающему всеми его: положи руку твою под стегно мое,
3 And I will make you swear by the LORD, the God of heaven, and the God of the earth, that you shall not take a wife unto my son of the daughters of the Canaanites, among whom I dwell:
и заклену тя Господем Богом небесе и Богом земли, да не поймеши сыну моему Исааку жены от дщерей Хананейских, с нимиже аз живу в них:
4 But you shall go unto my country, and to my kindred, and take a wife unto my son Isaac.
но токмо на землю мою, идеже родихся, пойдеши, и ко племени моему, и поймеши жену сыну моему Исааку оттуду.
5 And the servant said unto him, Possibly the woman will not be willing to follow me unto this land: must I essentially bring your son again unto the land from whence you came?
Рече же к нему раб: еда убо не восхощет ити жена вслед со мною на землю сию, возвращу ли сына твоего в землю, от неяже изшел еси?
6 And Abraham said unto him, Beware you that you bring not my son thither again.
Рече же к нему Авраам: внемли себе, да не возвратиши сына моего онамо.
7 The LORD God of heaven, which took me from my father's house, and from the land of my kindred, and which spoke unto me, and that swore unto me, saying, Unto your seed will I give this land; he shall send his angel before you, and you shall take a wife unto my son from thence.
Господь Бог небесе и Бог земли, Иже поя мя из дому отца моего и от земли, в нейже родихся, Иже глагола мне и Иже кляся мне, глаголя: тебе дам землю сию и семени твоему, Той послет Ангела Своего пред тобою, и поймеши жену сыну моему Исааку оттуду:
8 And if the woman will not be willing to follow you, then you shall be clear from this my oath: only bring not my son thither again.
аще же не восхощет жена поити с тобою в землю сию, чист будеши от заклятия моего: точию сына моего не возврати тамо.
9 And the servant put his hand under the thigh of Abraham his master, and swore to him concerning that matter.
И положи раб руку свою под стегно Авраама господина своего, и кляся ему о словеси сем.
10 And the servant took ten camels of the camels of his master, and departed; for all the goods of his master were in his hand: and he arose, and went to Mesopotamia, unto the city of Nahor.
И взя раб десять велблюд от велблюд господина своего, и от всех благ господина своего с собою, и востав иде в Месопотамию во град Нахоров:
11 And he made his camels to kneel down without the city by a well of water at the time of the evening, even the time that women go out to draw water.
и постави велблюды вне града у кладязя воднаго под вечер, егда исходят (жены) почерпати воды,
12 And he said O LORD God of my master Abraham, I pray you, send me good speed this day, and show kindness unto my master Abraham.
и рече: Господи, Боже господина моего Авраама, благоустрой предо мною днесь, и сотвори милость с господином моим Авраамом:
13 Behold, I stand here by the well of water; and the daughters of the men of the city come out to draw water:
се, аз стах у кладязя воднаго, дщери же живущих во граде исходят почерпати воды:
14 And let it come to pass, that the damsel to whom I shall say, Let down your pitcher, I pray you, that I may drink; and she shall say, Drink, and I will give your camels drink also: let the same be she that you have appointed for your servant Isaac; and thereby shall I know that you have showed kindness unto my master.
и будет девица, ейже аз реку: преклони водонос твой, да пию, и речет ми: пий ты, и велблюды твоя напою, дондеже напиются: сию уготовал еси рабу Твоему Исааку: и по сему увем, яко сотворил еси милость с господином моим Авраамом.
15 And it came to pass, before he had done speaking, that, behold, Rebekah came out, who was born to Bethuel, son of Milcah, the wife of Nahor, Abraham's brother, with her pitcher upon her shoulder.
И бысть прежде неже скончати ему глаголющу во уме своем, и се, Ревекка исхождаше, яже родися Вафуилу, сыну Мелхи жены Нахора, брата же Авраамля, держащи водонос на рамех своих:
16 And the damsel was very fair to look upon, a virgin, neither had any man known her: and she went down to the well, and filled her pitcher, and came up.
девица же бяше доброзрачна зело: дева бе, муж не позна ея. Сошедши же на кладязь, наполни водонос свой и взыде.
17 And the servant ran to meet her, and said, Let me, I pray you, drink a little water of your pitcher.
Тече же раб во сретение ей и рече: напой мя мало водою от водоноса твоего.
18 And she said, Drink, my lord: and she hasted, and let down her pitcher upon her hand, and gave him drink.
Сия же рече: пий, господине. И потщася, и сня водонос на мышца своя, и напои его, дондеже напися.
19 And when she had done giving him drink, she said, I will draw water for your camels also, until they have done drinking.
И рече: и велблюдом твоим налию, дондеже вси напиются.
20 And she hasted, and emptied her pitcher into the gutter, and ran again unto the well to draw water, and drew for all his camels.
И потщася, и испраздни водонос в поило: и тече паки на кладязь почерпнути воды, и влия велблюдом всем.
21 And the man wondering at her held his peace, to know whether the LORD had made his journey prosperous or not.
Человек же выразумеваше ю и помолчеваше, да уразумеет, аще благоустрои Бог путь ему, или ни.
22 And it came to pass, as the camels had done drinking, that the man took a golden earring of half a shekel weight, and two bracelets for her hands of ten shekels weight of gold;
Бысть же егда престаша вси велблюды пиюще, взя человек усерязи златы весом по драхме и два запястия на руки ея: десять златниц вес их.
23 And said, Whose daughter are you? tell me, I pray you: is there room in your father's house for us to lodge in?
И вопроси ю и рече: чия еси дщерь? Повеждь ми, аще есть у отца твоего место нам витати?
24 And she said unto him, I am the daughter of Bethuel the son of Milcah, which she bare unto Nahor.
Она же рече ему: дщерь Вафуилева есмь (сына) Мелхина, егоже роди Нахору.
25 She said moreover unto him, We have both straw and animal food enough, and room to lodge in.
И рече ему: и плевы и сена много у нас, и место витати.
26 And the man bowed down his head, and worshipped the LORD.
И благословив человек, поклонися Господу
27 And he said, Blessed be the LORD God of my master Abraham, who has not left destitute my master of his mercy and his truth: I being in the way, the LORD led me to the house of my master's brethren.
и рече: благословен Господь Бог господина моего Авраама, Иже не остави правды Своея и истины от господина моего: и мене благоустрои Господь в дом брата господина моего.
28 And the damsel ran, and told them of her mother's house these things.
И текши девица в дом матере своея, поведа по глаголом сим.
29 And Rebekah had a brother, and his name was Laban: and Laban ran out unto the man, unto the well.
Ревекце же бяше брат, емуже имя Лаван: и тече Лаван к человеку вон на кладязь.
30 And it came to pass, when he saw the earring and 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 well.
И бысть егда виде усерязи, и запястия на руку сестры своея, и егда слыша словеса Ревекки сестры своея, глаголющия: сице глагола мне человек: и прииде к человеку, стоящу ему у велблюд у кладязя,
31 And he said, Come in, you blessed of the LORD; wherefore stand you without? for I have prepared the house, and room for the camels.
и рече ему: гряди, вниди благословенный от Господа, почто стоиши вне? Аз же уготовах храмину и место велблюдом.
32 And the man came into the house: and he unbounded his camels, and gave straw and animal food for the camels, and water to wash his feet, and the men's feet that were with him.
И вниде человек в дом, и разседла велблюды, и даде плевы и сено велблюдом, и воду умыти нозе его, и ноги мужем, иже бяху с ним:
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.
и предложи им хлебы ясти, и рече: не ям, дондеже возглаголю словеса моя. И рече: глаголи.
34 And he said, I am Abraham's servant.
И рече: раб Авраамль есмь аз:
35 And the LORD has blessed my master greatly; and he is become great: and he has given him flocks, and herds, and silver, and gold, and male servants, and maidservants, and camels, and asses.
Господь же благослови господина моего зело, и возвысися: и даде ему овцы и телцы, сребро и злато, рабы и рабыни, и велблюды и ослы:
36 And Sarah my master's wife bare a son to my master when she was old: and unto him has he given all that he has.
и роди Сарра, жена господина моего, сына единаго господину моему, состаревшемуся ему, и даде ему елика имяше:
37 And my master made me swear, saying, You shall not take a wife to my son of the daughters of the Canaanites, in whose land I dwell:
и закля мя господин мой, глаголя: не поймеши жены сыну моему от дщерей Хананейских, в нихже аз обитаю в земли их:
38 But you shall go unto my father's house, and to my kindred, and take a wife unto my son.
но в дом отца моего пойдеши, и в племя мое, и поймеши жену сыну моему оттуду:
39 And I said unto my master, Possibly the woman will not follow me.
рех же (аз) господину моему: а егда не восхощет жена со мною ити?
40 And he said unto me, The LORD, before whom I walk, will send his angel with you, and prosper your way; and you shall take a wife for my son of my kindred, and of my father's house:
И рече ми: Господь Бог, Емуже благоугодих пред ним, он послет Ангела Своего с тобою и благоустроит путь твой, и поймеши жену сыну моему от племене моего и от дому отца моего:
41 Then shall you be clear from this my oath, when you come to my kindred; and if they give not you one, you shall be clear from my oath.
тогда будеши чист от заклинания моего: егда бо дойдеши в племя мое, и не дадят ти, и будеши чист от заклинания моего:
42 And I came this day unto the well, and said, O LORD God of my master Abraham, if now you do prosper my way which I go:
и пришед днесь на кладязь, рекох: Господи, Боже господина моего Авраама, аще Ты благоустрояеши путь мой, в оньже ныне аз иду:
43 Behold, I stand by the well of water; and it shall come to pass, that when the virgin comes forth to draw water, and I say to her, Give me, I pray you, a little water of your pitcher to drink;
се, аз стах у кладязя воднаго, и дщери граждан исходят почерпати воды: и будет девица, ейже аще аз реку: напой мя от водоноса твоего мало водою:
44 And she say to me, Both drink you, and I will also draw for your camels: let the same be the woman whom the LORD has appointed out for my master's son.
и речет ми: и ты пий, и велблюдом твоим влию: сия (будет) жена, юже уготова Господь рабу Своему Исааку: и по сему уразумею, яко сотворил еси милость господину моему Аврааму.
45 And before I had done speaking in mine heart, behold, Rebekah came forth with her pitcher on her shoulder; and she went down unto the well, and drew water: and I said unto her, Let me drink, I pray you.
И бысть прежде неже скончати мне глаголющу во уме своем, абие Ревекка исхождаше держащи водонос на раму, и сниде на кладязь, и почерпе воды: и рекох ей: напой мя.
46 And she made haste, and let down her pitcher from her shoulder, and said, Drink, and I will give your camels drink also: so I drank, and she made the camels drink also.
И потщавшися сня водонос с себе на мышцу свою и рече: пий ты, и велблюды твоя напою. И напихся, и велблюды моя напои.
47 And I asked her, and said, Whose daughter are you? And she said, the daughter of Bethuel, Nahor's son, whom Milcah bare unto him: and I put the earring upon her face, and the bracelets upon her hands.
И вопросих ю и рекох: чия еси дщерь? Повеждь ми. Она же рече: дщерь Вафуилева есмь сына Нахорова, егоже роди ему Мелха. И дах ей усерязи, и запястия на руце ея,
48 And I bowed down my head, and worshipped the LORD, and blessed the LORD God of my master Abraham, which had led me in the right way to take my master's brother's daughter unto his son.
и благоволив поклонихся Господу: и благослових Господа Бога господина моего Авраама, Иже благоустрои мя на пути истины пояти дщерь брата господина моего сыну его:
49 And now if all of you 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.
аще убо сотворите вы милость и правду к господину моему: аще же ни, поведите ми: да обращуся или на десно, или на лево.
50 Then Laban and Bethuel answered and said, The thing proceeds from the LORD: we cannot speak unto you bad or good.
Отвещавша же Лаван и Вафуил, рекоста: от Господа прииде дело сие: не возможем ти противу рещи зло или благо:
51 Behold, Rebekah is before you, take her, and go, and let her be your master's son's wife, as the LORD has spoken.
се, Ревекка пред тобою: поемь ю, иди: и да будет жена сыну господина твоего, якоже глагола Господь.
52 And it came to pass, that, when Abraham's servant heard their words, he worshipped the LORD, bowing himself to the earth.
Бысть же егда услыша раб Авраамль словеса сия, поклонися до земли Господу.
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.
И изнес раб сосуды златы и сребряны и ризы, даде Ревекце: и дары даде брату ея и матери ея.
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.
И ядоша и пиша и той и мужие, иже бяху с ним, и почиша. И востав заутра, рече: отпустите мя, да отиду к господину моему.
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.
Реша же братия ея и мати: да пребудет девица с нами яко десять дний, и посем пойдет.
56 And he said unto them, Hinder me not, seeing the LORD has prospered my way; send me away that I may go to my master.
Он же рече к ним: не держите мя, Господь бо благоустрои путь мой во мне: отпустите мя, да иду к господину моему.
57 And they said, We will call the damsel, and enquire at her mouth.
Они же реша: призовем девицу и вопросим ея изоуст.
58 And they called Rebekah, and said unto her, Will you go with this man? And she said, I will go.
И призваша Ревекку и реша ей: пойдеши ли с человеком сим? Она же рече: пойду.
59 And they sent away Rebekah their sister, and her nurse, and Abraham's servant, and his men.
И отпустиша Ревекку сестру свою, и имения ея, и раба Авраамля, и иже с ним быша.
60 And they blessed Rebekah, and said unto her, You are our sister, be you the mother of thousands of millions, and let your seed possess the gate of those which hate them.
И благословиша Ревекку и реша ей: сестра наша еси, буди в тысящы тем, и да наследит семя твое грады супостат.
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.
Воставши же Ревекка и рабыни ея, вседоша на велблюды и поидоша с человеком. И поим раб Ревекку, отиде.
62 And Isaac came from the way of the well Lahairoi; for he dwelt in the south country.
Исаак же прехождаше сквозе пустыню у кладязя Видения: сам же живяше на земли на полудне.
63 And Isaac went out to meditate in the field at the evening: and he lifted up his eyes, and saw, and, behold, the camels were coming.
И изыде Исаак поглумитися на поле к вечеру, и воззрев очима своима, виде велблюды идущыя.
64 And Rebekah lifted up her eyes, and when she saw Isaac, she lighted off the camel.
И воззревши Ревекка очима своима, виде Исаака: и изскочи с велблюда.
65 For she had said unto the servant, What man is this that walks in the field to meet us? And the servant had said, It is my master: therefore she took a vail, and covered herself.
И рече рабу: кто есть человек оный, иже идет по полю во сретение нам? Рече же раб: сей есть господин мой. Она же вземши ризу летнюю, облечеся.
66 And the servant told Isaac all things that he had done.
И поведа раб Исааку вся словеса, яже сотвори.
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 after his mother's death.
Вниде же Исаак в дом матере своея, и поя Ревекку, и бысть ему жена: и возлюби ю, и утешися Исаак по Сарре матери своей.
