Genesis 24
1 And Abraham was old, [and] well stricken in age: and the LORD had blessed Abraham in all things.
Ie amy zao, nigain-kantetse t’i Avrahame, lifots’ andro; vaho nitahie’ Iehovà amy ze he’e t’i Avrahame.
2 And Abraham said unto his eldest servant of his house, that ruled over all that he had, Put, I pray thee, thy hand under my thigh:
Hoe t’i Avrahame amy zokem-pitoro’e añ’ anjomba’ey, ie mpamandroñe ze hene vara’e, Ano ambane feko atoa ty fità’o,
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 unto my son of the daughters of the Canaanites, among whom I dwell:
fa hampifantako añam’ Iehovà, Andrianañaharen-dikerañe naho Andrianamboatse ty tane toiy irehe te tsy hangala-baly ho a i anakoy amo anak’ampela nte-Kanàne itraofako fimoneñeo
4 But thou shalt go unto my country, and to my kindred, and take a wife unto my son Isaac.
fe mañaveloa mb’an-taneko naho mb’aman-dongoko mb’eo hangala-baly ho a’ Ietsàk’ anako.
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 again unto the land from whence thou camest?
Aa hoe i mpitoro’ey ama’e, Hera tsy mete hañorik’ ahy mb’an-tane atoy i ampelay; ie amy zao hendeseko mimpoly mb’amy tane nihirifa’o añey hao i ana’oy?
6 And Abraham said unto him, Beware thou that thou bring not my son thither again.
Hoe t’i Avrahame tama’e, Mitaoa tsy hampoli’o añe i anadahikoy.
7 The LORD God of heaven, which took me from my father’s house, and from the land of my kindred, and which spake unto me, and that sware unto me, saying, Unto thy seed will I give this land; he shall send his angel before thee, and thou shalt take a wife unto my son from thence.
Iehovà Andrianañaharen-dikerañe ninday ahy niakatse ty anjomban-draeko naho i tanen-dongokoy vaho nifanta ty hoe amako, Hatoloko amo tarira’oo o tane toio, ie ty hañitrike i anjeli’ey aolo’o hangalà’o valy añe ho amy ana-dahikoy.
8 And if the woman will not be willing to follow thee, then thou shalt be clear from this my oath: only bring not my son thither again.
Aa naho tsy mete hañorik’ azo i ampelay, le ho afak’ amo nampifantàkoo; fe tsy hampipolie’o añe i ana-dahikoy.
9 And the servant put his hand under the thigh of Abraham his master, and sware to him concerning that matter.
Aa le nanoe’ i mpitoroñey ambanen-tso’ i Avrahame talè’ey ty fità’e vaho nitsokòse ama’e i hoe zay.
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.
Nalae’ i mpitoro’ey amy zao ty rameva folo amo ramevan-talè’eo le niavotse, naho hene am-pita’e ao ze varan-talè’e, ie niongake nionjoñe mb’e Arame-naharaime, mb’an-drova’ i Nakore añe.
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].
Nampitongalefe’e alafe’ i rovay marine ty vovoñe ey o ramevao, naho fa hiroñe i àndroy, ami’ty fiavota’ o ampela hitarikeo.
12 And he said, O LORD God of my master Abraham, I pray thee, send me good speed this day, and shew kindness unto my master Abraham.
Le hoe re, Ry Iehovà, Andrianañahare’ i Avrahame talèkoy, miambane ama’o, anoloro fahatafeterañe te anito vaho ferenaiño t’i Avrahame talèko.
13 Behold, I stand [here] by the well of water; and the daughters of the men of the city come out to draw water:
Vazohò t’ie mijohañe marine rano migoangoañ’ atoy vaho fa mitoha rano mb’etoa o anak’ ampela’ ondati’ i rovaio,
14 And 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 Isaac; and thereby shall I know that thou hast shewed kindness unto my master.
le ehe te ty ampela hataoko ty hoe, Ehe azotso amo kiboloha’oo hinomako, vaho hanoe’e ty hoe, Mikamà le hampinomeko ka o rameva’oo, le toe ie ty nedre’o ho a i mpitoro’o Ietsàkey, haharendrehako te niferenaiñe’o i talèkoy.
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.
Mbe tsy nigadoñe i saontsi’ey, te ingo nitoha mb’eo t’i Ribkae, nasama’ i Betoele ana’ i Milkae, vali’ i Nakore rahalahi’ i Avrahame, ninday ty amboara’e an-tsoro’e.
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.
Somondrara trenotreno’e am-pahoniñan-dre, ampela miehañe mbe tsy nahavany lahy, nizotso mb’an-drano mb’eo, le nipeae’e i amboara’ey vaho niañambone mb’eo.
17 And the servant ran to meet her, and said, Let me, I pray thee, drink a little water of thy pitcher.
Nihitrihitry hifanalaka ama’e i mpitoroñey, nanao ty hoe, Ehe anjotsò, hitsopeke rano amo kiboloha’oo.
18 And she said, Drink, my lord: and she hasted, and let down her pitcher upon her hand, and gave him drink.
Mikamà, roandria hoe re, le nazè’e aniany an-taña’e i kiboloha’ey le nanjotsoa’e.
19 And when she had done giving him drink, she said, I will draw [water] for thy camels also, until they have done drinking.
Ie niheneke ty nampikama’e aze, le hoe re, Ho tarihako ka o rameva’oo ampara’ te etsa-drano.
20 And she hasted, and emptied her pitcher into the trough, and ran again unto the well to draw [water], and drew for all his camels.
Aa le nalonga’e amy zao an-dabaoga ao i amboara’ey naho nilay mb’am-bovom-b’eo indraike hitarike le songa nitariha’e o rameva’eo.
21 And the man wondering at her held his peace, to wit whether the LORD had made his journey prosperous or not.
Nilatsa’ indatiy, nianjiñe avao haharendreke ke nampihenefa’ Iehovà i lia’ey he tsie.
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;
Ie hene enen-drano o ramevao, le rinambe’ indatiy ty bangen-oroñe volamena nilanja vakin-tsekele naho ty ravake roe ho an-tsira’e nilanja volamena folo
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?
vaho nanao ty hoe, Toñono amako, ana’ia irehe. Ehe mete tsahatse anay hialeñe hao ty añ’akiban-drae’o?
24 And she said unto him, I [am] the daughter of Bethuel the son of Milcah, which she bare unto Nahor.
Hoe re tama’e, Ana’ i Betoele, ana’ i Milkae iraho, nasama’e amy Nakore.
25 She said moreover unto him, We have both straw and provender enough, and room to lodge in.
Nitovoña’e ty hoe, Amañ’ ahetse naho hanen-kare mahaheneke zahay vaho traño ialeñañe.
26 And the man bowed down his head, and worshipped the LORD.
Nabotre’ indatiy ty añambone’e nitalaho am’ Iehovà,
27 And he said, Blessed [be] the LORD God of my master Abraham, who hath 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.
ami’ty hoe, Andriañeñe abey t’Iehovà Andrianañahare’ i Avrahame talèko, te tsy nitana’e amy talèkoy ty fiferenaiña’e naho ty figahiña’e, naho niaolo ahiko mb’añ’anjomban-dongo’ i talèkoy t’Iehovà.
28 And the damsel ran, and told [them of] her mother’s house these things.
Nilay mb’añ’anjomban-drene’e mb’eo amy zao i somondraray nitalily irezay.
29 And Rebekah had a brother, and his name [was] Laban: and Laban ran out unto the man, unto the well.
Aman’ drahalahy atao Labàne t’i Ribkae, le nihitrike ty lay mb’ am’ indaty am-bovoñey t’i Labàne,
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 spake the man unto me; that he came unto the man; and, behold, he stood by the camels at the well.
ie nioni’e i bangen-oroñey, naho o ravak’ an-tsiran-drahavave’eo, naho nitalilia’e ty hoe: Inao ty nisaontsia’ indatiy, le nimb’ am’ indatiy mb’eo vaho naheo’e t’ie nijohañe marine o rameva’eo amy vovoñey.
31 And he said, Come in, thou blessed of the LORD; wherefore standest thou without? for I have prepared the house, and room for the camels.
Hoe re, Miheova, ry tahie’ Iehovà. Ino ty ijohaña’o alafe atoy? fa nihajarieko traño naho toetse o ramevao.
32 And the man came into the house: and he ungirded his camels, and gave straw and provender for the camels, and water to wash his feet, and the men’s feet that [were] with him.
Aa le nimoak’ añ’ anjomba ao indatiy naho nafaha’ i Labàne amo ramevao i kilankañey, naho tinolo’e ahetse naho haneñe o rameva’eo, naho rano hanasañe ty fandia’e naho o fandia’ ondaty nindre ama’eo.
33 And there was set [meat] before him to eat: but he said, I will not eat, until I have told mine errand. And he said, Speak on.
Nanjotsoañe hikama, fa hoe ka re, Tsy hihinañe naho tsy taroñeko hey i namantohañ’ ahiy. Hoe ty natoi’e, Itaroño.
34 And he said, I [am] Abraham’s servant.
Aa le hoe re, Mpitoro’ i Avrahame iraho.
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 menservants, and maidservants, and camels, and asses.
Fa ra’elahy ty fitahia’ Iehovà i talèkoy, vaho mpañaleale re henaneo; ie nitolora’e añondry naho añombe naho volafoty naho volamena, ondevo lahy naho ampela, rameva naho borìke,
36 And Sarah my master’s wife bare a son to my master when she was old: and unto him hath he given all that he hath.
mbore nisamak’ ana-dahy añamy talèkoy t’i Sarà vali’e ie fa bey, vaho natolo’e aze ze he’e ama’e.
37 And my master made me swear, saying, Thou shalt not take a wife to my son of the daughters of the Canaanites, in whose land I dwell:
Nampifantan-talèko ahy ty hoe, Ko angala’o valy amo anak’ ampela nte-Kanàne, tompo’ ty tane imoneñako atoio i anakoy;
38 But thou shalt go unto my father’s house, and to my kindred, and take a wife unto my son.
fa ty anjomban-draeko ty homba’o; amo rolongokoo ty hangala’o valy ho a i anakoy.
39 And I said unto my master, Peradventure the woman will not follow me.
Le hoe Iraho amy talèkoy, Kera tsy hañorik’ ahy i ampela zay.
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:
Fa hoe re amako, Iehovà iatrefako lia ro hañitrike ty anjeli’e ama’o hampitafetetse ty lia’o, hangala’o valy aman-dongoko añe, añ’ anjomban-draeko ao, i anakoy.
41 Then shalt thou be clear from [this] my oath, when thou comest to my kindred; and if they give not thee [one], thou shalt be clear from my oath.
Le ho afak’ amy nifantàkoy irehe lehe mivotrak’ aman-drolongoko ao fe tsy hitolora’ iareo, vaho toe ho haha amy nifantàkoy.
42 And I came this day unto the well, and said, O LORD God of my master Abraham, if now thou do prosper my way which I go:
Niheo mb’amy vovoñey Iraho anindroany, nanao ty hoe, Ry Iehovà, Andrianañahare’ i Avrahame talèkoy, ee te ho tafetere’o henanekeo ty liako!
43 Behold, I stand by the well of water; and it shall come to pass, that when the virgin cometh forth to draw [water], and I say to her, Give me, I pray thee, a little water of thy pitcher to drink;
Hehe te mijohañe am-bovon-drano atoy iraho; le ze somondrara miakatse hitari-drano volañeko ty hoe, Anjotsò rano hitsopehako amo dabakera’oo;
44 And she 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 out for my master’s son.
le ie hanao amako ty hoe, Mikamà vaho hitarihako ka o rameva’oo, ehe t’ie i somondrara nitendre’ Iehovà ho amy ana’ i talèkoiy.
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 thee.
Aa mbe tsy nimodo i entako an-trokoy, hehe te pok’eo t’i Ribkae, i favinta’ey an-tsoro’e eo naho nizotso mb’ an-drano mb’eo hitarike, le hoe ty nanoako, Ehe, ampinomo;
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.
nalisa re nampizotso i kiboloha’ey le nanao ty hoe, Mikamà, vaho hampinomeko ka o rameva’oo. Aa le ninoñe Iraho vaho nanesea’e iaby o ramevao.
47 And I asked her, and said, Whose daughter [art] thou? 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.
Le hoe ty ontaneko ama’e, Ana’ ia v’iheo? Hoe re, Ana’ i Betoele, ana’ i Nakore nisamaha’ i Milkae. Aa le nanoeko añ’oro’e eo i bangey naho amo sira’eo o ravakeo.
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.
Le nabotreko ty lohako nitalaho am’ Iehovà vaho nandriañeko t’Iehovà Andrianañahare’ i Avrahame talèkoy, i nanehak’ ahy andalam-bantañe hangalako ty ana-dongo’ i talèkoy ho a i ana’eiy.
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.
Ie amy zao, naho mete hifandahatse an-kavañonañe naho an-kahiti’e amy talèkoy le isaontsio, fa naho tsy izay, isaontsio, hivihako mb’an-tañan-kavana ndra mb’an-kavia.
50 Then Laban and Bethuel answered and said, The thing proceedeth from the LORD: we cannot speak unto thee bad or good.
Le hoe ty natoi’ i Labàne naho i Betoele, Toe boak’ am’ Iehovà o raha zao; tsy mete ivolaña’ay ndra ty soa ndra ty raty.
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.
Ingo, añatrefa’o t’i Ribkae, rambeso; mañaveloa vaho ampañengao i anan-talè’oy ty amy tsara’ Iehovày.
52 And it came to pass, that, when Abraham’s servant heard their words, he worshipped the LORD, [bowing himself] to the earth.
Ie nahajanjiñe i enta’ iareoy i mpitoro’ i Avrahamey, le niankohoke an-tane am’ Iehovà;
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.
vaho naaka’ i mpitoroñey amy zao ty bije volafoty naho ty voatsiriry volamena naho saroñe, le natolo’e amy Ribkae; nomei’e raha sarobily ka i rahalahi’ey naho i rene’e.
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.
Nikama naho ninoñe amy zao re naho ondaty nitraok’ ama’eo, vaho nialeñe ao. Ie nitroatse maraindray le hoe re, Ampionjono mb’ amy talèkoy mb’eo.
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.
Hoe ka ty rahalahi’e naho i rene’e, Angao hitobok’ ama’ay atoy hey re, va’e folo andro vaho hienga.
56 And he said unto them, Hinder me not, seeing the LORD hath prospered my way; send me away that I may go to my master.
Fa hoe re tam’iereo, Ko ampiroñonen-draho; kanao nampihenefe’ Iehovà ty liako, iraho mb’eo himpoly mb’an-talèko mb’eo.
57 And they said, We will call the damsel, and enquire at her mouth.
Hoe iereo, Ho tokave’ay i ampelay, hañontane am-bava’e.
58 And they called Rebekah, and said unto her, Wilt thou go with this man? And she said, I will go.
Aa le kinanji’iareo t’i Ribkae, vaho nanoa’e ty hoe, No’o hao ty hindre lia am’ ondatio? Handeha iraho, hoe re.
59 And they sent away Rebekah their sister, and her nurse, and Abraham’s servant, and his men.
Aa le nampionjone’ iereo mb’eo t’i Ribkae, rahavave’ iareo naho i mpiatra’ey, naho i mpitoro’ i Avrahamey naho ondati’eo.
60 And they blessed Rebekah, and said unto her, Thou [art] our sister, be thou [the mother] of thousands of millions, and let thy seed possess the gate of those which hate them.
Le tinata’ iareo t’i Ribkae naho nanoa’ iareo ty hoe, Ee te ihe, rahavave’ay ro hitombo añ’arivo naho añ’ale; naho ho fanaña’ o tarira’oo o lalam-beim-palaiñ’ azoo.
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.
Niongak’ amy zao t’i Ribkae naho o mpiatra’eo, nijoñe an-drameva nañorike indatiy; aa le nendese’ i mpitoroñey t’i Ribkae vaho nañavelo mb’eo.
62 And Isaac came from the way of the well Lahai-roi; for he dwelt in the south country.
Ie henane zay niakatse amy lala’ i Vovon-Daka’iroiy t’Ietsàke, ie fa nimoneñe an-tane’ Nègeve ao.
63 And Isaac went out to meditate in the field at the eventide: and he lifted up his eyes, and saw, and, behold, the camels [were] coming.
Niavotse amy harivay t’Ietsàke hitalaho an-kivok’ ao, aa ie niandra, le naheo’e te rameva ty nimb’ama’e mb’eo.
64 And Rebekah lifted up her eyes, and when she saw Isaac, she lighted off the camel.
Niandra ka t’i Ribkae nahaoniñe Ietsàke le nizotso amy ramevay,
65 For she [had] said unto the servant, What man [is] this that walketh in the field to meet us? And the servant [had] said, It [is] my master: therefore she took a vail, and covered herself.
nañontane amy mpitoroñey ty hoe, Iam-bao ondaty midraidraitse an-kivoke ey hifanalaka aman-tikañeo? Hoe i mpitoroñey, Ty talèko ‘nio. Rinambe’e amy zao i sarimbo’e mangarakarakey le nisaroñe.
66 And the servant told Isaac all things that he had done.
Hene natalili’ i mpitoroñey am’ Ietsàke o nanoe’eo.
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].
Le nendese’ Ietsàke nizilik’ an-kibohon-drene’e ao naho nengae’e ho vali’e t’i Ribkae; naho nikokoa’e vaho nitendreke hanintsiñe amy havilasin-drene’ey t’Ietsàke.
