Genesis 24
1 And Abraham [is] old, he has entered into days, and YHWH has blessed Abraham in all [things];
Abraham teh a kumcue teh a matawng poung toe. BAWIPA ni Abraham teh hno pueng dawk yawhawi a poe.
2 and Abraham says to his servant, the eldest of his house, who is ruling over all that he has, “Please put your hand under my thigh,
Abraham ni a san, a imthungkhu thung dawk kacue poung lah a tawn e naw pueng lathueng vah kâ ka tawn poung e koevah, pahren lahoi na kut hah ka phai rahak vah tat haw,
3 and I cause you to swear by YHWH, God of the heavens and God of the earth, that you do not take a wife for my son from the daughters of the Canaanite, in the midst of whom I am dwelling;
kai teh ahnimouh rahak kho ka sak ei, Kanaan tanglanaw heh ka capa hane a yu lah lat hanh.
4 but to my land and to my family you go, and have taken a wife for my son, for Isaac.”
Hateiteh, ka miphunnaw koe, ka hmaunawnghanaw e im dawk cet nateh ka capa Isak hanelah a yu na paluen pouh han telah ati.
5 And the servant says to him, “It may be the woman is not willing to come after me to this land; do I at all cause your son to return to the land from where you came out?”
A san ni ahni koe, Napui ni hete ram dawk tho ngai hoehpawiteh, na capa heh na thonae ram dawkvah ka ceikhai han na maw, telah ati.
6 And Abraham says to him, “Take heed to yourself lest you cause my son to return there;
Abraham ni ahni koe, ka capa heh haw ceikhai hoeh nahanlah kâhruetcuet.
7 YHWH, God of the heavens, who has taken me from the house of my father, and from the land of my birth, and who has spoken to me, and who has sworn to me, saying, To your seed I give this land, He sends His messenger before you, and you have taken a wife for my son from there;
Hete ram heh na ca catounnaw ka poe han telah kai koe lawk ka kam, kalvan e BAWIPA Cathut ni apa im hoi ka tâconae ram dawk hoi na kalatkung ni na hmalah kalvantami a patoun vaiteh hote hmuen dawk e ka capa hanlah a yu na paluen pouh han.
8 and if the woman is not willing to come after you, then you have been acquitted from this my oath: only you do not cause my son to return there.”
Hote napui ni kâbang ngai hoehpawiteh, kai koevah thoebonae dawk hoi nang teh na hlout han. Ka capa teh haw na cetkhai mahoeh telah atipouh.
9 And the servant puts his hand under the thigh of Abraham his lord, and swears to him concerning this matter.
Hottelah a san ni a bawipa e a tangka vah a kut a ta teh, hote kong dawk thoe a kâbo.
10 And the servant takes ten camels of the camels of his lord and goes, also of all the goods of his lord in his hand, and he rises, and goes to Aram-Naharaim, to the city of Nahor;
A san ni a bawipa e kalauk thung dawk hoi hra touh a hrawi teh, a bawipa e hnokahawi phunkuep hah a sin teh a kamthaw. Hottelah a kamthaw teh Mesopotamia ram e Nahor kho lah a cei.
11 and he causes the camels to kneel at the outside of the city, at the well of water, at evening, at the time of the coming out of the women who draw water.
Tangmin lah napuinaw tui do hanlah thonae tueng dawkvah, longkha teng e tuikhu koe a kalauknaw a kamkawn sak.
12 And he says, “YHWH, God of my lord Abraham, please cause to meet before me this day—(and do kindness with my lord Abraham;
Ahni ni, Oe BAWIPA Cathut, pahren lahoi sahnin vah, ka bawipa, Abraham koevah na lungmanae kamnuek sak nateh na kuep sak haw.
13 behold, I am standing by the fountain of water, and daughters of the men of the city are coming out to draw water;
Khenhaw! tuikhu koevah ka kangdue. Khothung e a canunaw hai tui do hanlah a tho awh toe.
14 and it has been, the young person to whom I say, Please incline your pitcher and I drink, and she has said, Drink, and I also water your camels)—her [whom] You have decided for Your servant, for Isaac; and by it I know that You have done kindness with my lord.”
Hettelah awm naseh, tangla koe pahren lahoi tui ka nei hanlah tuium hah patue sak haw, ka ti navah, ahni ni net leih, na kalauknaw a nei hanlah ka poe han telah ka tet e teh na san Isak hanlah na hmoun pouh e lah awm naseh. Hottelahoi ka bawipa koe lungmanae na kamnue sak tie hah ka panue thai han telah ati.
15 And it comes to pass, before he has finished speaking, that behold, Rebekah (who was born to Bethuel, son of Milcah, wife of Nahor, brother of Abraham) is coming out, and her pitcher on her shoulder,
Hahoi, lawk koung a dei hoehnahlan vah, Abraham e a nawngha Nahor e a yu Milkah capa Bethuel canu Rebekah teh a loung dawk tuium thueng hoi a tho.
16 and the young person [is] of very good appearance, a virgin, and a man has not known her; and she goes down to the fountain, and fills her pitcher, and comes up.
Tangla teh a meihawipoung. Thoundoun ni a ikhai hoeh rae tanglakacuem lah ao. Tuikhu koe a cathuk teh tuium tui yikkawi a do hnukkhu, a takhang.
17 And the servant runs to meet her and says, “Please let me swallow a little water from your pitcher”;
Sanpa ni ahni kâhmo hanlah a yawng teh, pahren lahoi na tuium dawk e tui youn touh na pânei haw telah atipouh.
18 and she says, “Drink, my lord”; and she hurries, and lets down her pitcher on her hand, and gives him drink.
Napui ni net leih ka bawipa telah atipouh. Karang poung lah a tuium teh a loung dawk hoi a patue teh tui a pânei.
19 And she finishes giving him drink and says, “Also for your camels I draw until they have finished drinking”;
Tui a pânei hnukkhu, na kalauknaw hanlah hai tui a boum awh hoehroukrak boutbout ka do han telah atipouh.
20 and she hurries, and empties her pitcher into the drinking-trough, and runs again to the well to draw, and draws for all his camels.
Karang poung lah tui teh dokko dawk a hlun teh tui bout do hanlah tuikhu koe lah a cathuk teh kalauknaw pueng hanelah tui a do pouh.
21 And the man, wondering at her, remains silent, to know whether YHWH has made his way prosperous or not.
Tongpa ni lawkkamuem hoi a khet teh, BAWIPA ni kahlawng ka ceinae a lam a kâko sak vaiteh akuep sak hoi kakuep sak hoeh hane panue hane a ngai dawk lawkkamuem lah ao.
22 And it comes to pass, when the camels have finished drinking, that the man takes a golden ring (whose weight [is] a bekah), and two bracelets for her hands (whose weight [is] ten [bekahs] of gold),
Kalauknaw ni tui koung a nei awh hnukkhu vah, hnongpacap hoi sui kuthrawt sekel hra touh ka ri e hah a poe.
23 and says, “Whose daughter [are] you? Please declare to me, is the house of your father a place for us to lodge in?”
Ahni koevah, nang apie canu maw. Pahren lahoi na dei pouh haw. na Pa im dawk ka roe nahanlah rakhan ao han na ou, telah ati.
24 And she says to him, “I [am] daughter of Bethuel, son of Milcah, whom she has borne to Nahor.”
Napui ni ahni koevah, Milkah ni Nahor hanlah a khe pouh e Bethuel canu doeh telah atipouh.
25 She also says to him, “Both straw and provender [are] abundant with us, also a place to lodge in.”
Napui ni hothloilah, caphon hoi saring e rawca moi ka tawn awh. Roenae rakhan haiyah ka tawn awh telah ati.
26 And the man bows, and pays respect to YHWH,
Hat toteh, a san ni a lûsaling teh BAWIPA hah a bawk.
27 and says, “Blessed [is] YHWH, God of my lord Abraham, who has not left off His kindness and His truth with my lord—I [being] in the way, YHWH has led me to the house of my lord’s brothers.”
Ahni ni, ka bawipa lathueng vah a lungmanae hoi hawinae ka pout thai hoeh e, ka bawipa Abraham e BAWIPA Cathut teh pholen lah awm naseh. Kai patenghai BAWIPA ni ka bawipa e a hmaunawnghanaw e im dawk na ceikhai tangngak telah ati.
28 And the young person runs, and declares to the house of her mother according to these words.
Tangla ni a yawng teh hno kaawmnaw hah a manu imthungkhu hah a dei pouh.
29 And Rebekah has a brother, and his name [is] Laban, and Laban runs to the man who [is] outside, to the fountain;
Rebekah ni a thangroi a tawn. Ahnie min teh Laban doeh. Laban a tâco teh tuikhu koelah hote tongpa koevah a yawng.
30 indeed, it comes to pass, when he sees the ring, and the bracelets on the hands of his sister, and when he hears the words of his sister Rebekah, saying, “Thus has the man spoken to me,” that he comes to the man, and behold, he is standing by the camels by the fountain.
Hahoi, hnongpacap hoi a tawncanu e a kut dawk e a buet e a hmu nah, tongpa ni hottelah na dei pouh telah a tawncanu ni a dei e a thai toteh, tongpa koevah a cei. Ahni teh tuikhu koe e kalauknaw rahak vah kangdout e hah a hmu.
31 And he says, “Come in, O blessed one of YHWH! Why do you stand outside—and I have prepared the house and place for the camels?”
Laban ni, BAWIPA ni yawhawi a poe e tho nateh, kaie im dawk luenh. Bangkongmaw alawilah na kangdue Bangkongtetpawiteh, im hoi kalauknaw hanlah hmuen teh koung ka rakueng toe telah atipouh.
32 And he brings in the man into the house, and looses the camels, and gives straw and provender for the camels, and water to wash his feet, and the feet of the men who [are] with him:
Tongpa ni imthung a kâen teh Laban ni kalauk van e hnonaw a patue pouh. Hahoi, kalauk hanlah caphon hoi rawca hah a poe teh, ama hoi a huinaw hanelah khok pâsu nahanlah tui a poe.
33 and sets before him to eat; but he says, “I do not eat until I have spoken my word”; and he says, “Speak.”
Ca hane rawca a hmalah a pâtoum pouh. Hateiteh, ahni ni, ka tho ngainae ka dei hoehroukrak ka cat mahoeh telah atipouh. Ahnimouh ni dei yawkaw telah atipouh.
34 And he says, “I [am] Abraham’s servant;
Ahni ni kai teh Abraham e a san doeh.
35 and YHWH has blessed my lord exceedingly, and he is great; and He gives to him flock, and herd, and silver, and gold, and menservants, and maidservants, and camels, and donkeys;
BAWIPA ni ka bawipa teh yawhawi a poe dawk moi a tawnta. BAWIPA ni ahni koevah tunaw, maitonaw, tangka hoi sui, san napui tongpa, kalauknaw, lanaw hah a poe.
36 and Sarah, my lord’s wife, bears a son to my lord, after she has been aged, and he gives to him all that he has.
Ka bawipa e a yu Sarah ni a matawng hnukkhu, capa buet touh a khe pouh teh a tawn e naw pueng teh ahni koevah a poe.
37 And my lord causes me to swear, saying, You do not take a wife to my son from the daughters of the Canaanite, in whose land I am dwelling.
Hahoi, ka bawipa ni ka onae Kanaan tanglanaw hah ka capa hanelah a yu lah na paluen pouh mahoeh.
38 If not—to the house of my father you go, and to my family, and you have taken a wife for my son.
Ka im vah, ka hmaunawnghanaw koe cet nateh ka capa hanelah a yu paluen pouh telah lawk na kam sak.
39 And I say to my lord, It may be the woman does not come after me;
Ka bawipa koe napui ni kâbang ngai laipalah ao thai telah ka ti pouh.
40 and he says to me, YHWH, before whom I have habitually walked, sends His messenger with you, and has prospered your way, and you have taken a wife for my son from my family, and from the house of my father;
Ahni ni kai koevah, a hmalah ouk ka onae BAWIPA ni a kalvantami nang koevah a patoun vaiteh, na ceinae koe a lamcawn sak han. Hottelah ka hmaunawnghanaw hoi apa imthungkhunaw koehoi ka capa hanlah a yu na paluen pouh.
41 then you are acquitted from my oath, when you come to my family; and if they do not give [one] to you, then you have been acquitted from my oath.
Ka hmaunawnghanaw koe na pha nah napui na poe ngai hoeh boipawiteh, hete lawkkamnae dawk hoi na hlout han telah ati.
42 And I come to the fountain today, and I say, YHWH, God of my lord Abraham, now if You are making prosperous my way in which I am going—
Sahnin vah tuikhu koe ka pha teh, Oe, ka bawipa Abraham e BAWIPA Cathut, ka ceinae koe a lam na cawn sak han pawiteh,
43 (behold, I am standing by the fountain of water), then the virgin is coming out to draw, and I have said to her, Please let me drink a little water from your pitcher,
Tuikhu koevah ka kangdue teh tui do hanlah ka tho e tanglakacuem apipatet koe haiyah, pahren lahoi tuium dawk e tui youn touh na pânei haw telah ka ti navah,
44 and she has said to me, Both drink, and I also draw for your camels—she is the woman whom YHWH has decided for my lord’s son.
Napui ni kai koevah, net haw. Na kalauknaw hanlah tui ka do han telah a ka tet e tami teh, ka bawipa e a capa hanlah BAWIPA ni a hmoun e lah awm naseh telah ka ti.
45 Before I finish speaking to my heart, then behold, Rebekah is coming out, and her pitcher [is] on her shoulder, and she goes down to the fountain and draws; and I say to her, Please let me drink,
Khenhaw! hottelah, ka lungthin hoi koung ka dei hoehnahlan vah, Rebekah teh tuium hoi a tho. Tuikhu koe a cathuk teh tui a do. Hahoi, ahni koevah, pahren lahoi tui na net sak haw telah ka ti.
46 and she hurries and lets down her pitcher from off her and says, Drink, and I also water your camels; and I drink, and she has also watered the camels.
Ahni ni a loung dawk e tuium hah a patue teh tui net leih. Na kalauknaw hai tui pânei leih telah ati. Hatdawkvah, tui ka nei teh, kalauknaw tui a nei han haiyah a poe.
47 And I ask her, and say, Whose daughter [are] you? And she says, Daughter of Bethuel, son of Nahor, whom Milcah has borne to him, and I put the ring on her nose, and the bracelets on her hands,
Kai ni nang apie canu maw telah ka pacei Ahni ni, Milkah ni a khe e Nahor e capa Bethuel e canu doeh telah ati. Hatdawkvah, a hnawng dawk hnongpacap ka bang pouh teh a kut dawk hai laikaw ka buet sak.
48 and I bow, and pay respect before YHWH, and I bless YHWH, God of my lord Abraham, who has led me in the true way to receive the daughter of my lord’s brother for his son.
Ka lûsaling laihoi BAWIPA hah ka bawk teh, ka bawipa Abraham e BAWIPA Cathut, ka bawipa e a nawngha e canu, a capa hane a yu paluen pouh hane lamkatang dawk na kahrawikung hah ka pholen.
49 And now, if you are dealing kindly and truly with my lord, declare to me; and if not, declare to me; and I turn to the right or to the left.”
Atuvah ka bawipa lathueng vah lungmanae hoi lawkkatang na kamnue sak hanelah awm pawiteh, na dei pouh haw. Hottelah hoeh nakunghai, kai koe vah na dei pouh awh haw. Hat to doeh, avoilah hai, aranglah hai ka kamlang thai tih telah ati.
50 And Laban answers—Bethuel also—and they say, “The thing has gone out from YHWH; we are not able to speak to you bad or good;
Laban hoi Bethuel ni a pathung teh hete hno heh BAWIPA koehoi ka tâcawt e doeh. Ahawi thoseh, a thoe thoseh ka dei thai a hoeh.
51 behold, Rebekah [is] before you, take and go, and she is a wife to your lord’s son, as YHWH has spoken.”
Khenhaw! Rebekah teh na hmaitung doeh ao. Hrawi nateh cetkhaih. BAWIPA ni a dei tangcoung e patetlah na bawipa e a capa e a yu lah awm naseh, telah atipouh.
52 And it comes to pass, when the servant of Abraham has heard their words, that he bows himself toward the earth before YHWH;
Hahoi, Abraham e a sanpa ni ahnimae lawk a thai navah, talai a tabo teh BAWIPA hah a bawk.
53 and the servant takes out vessels of silver, and vessels of gold, and garments, and gives to Rebekah; precious things also he has given to her brother and to her mother.
Hatdawkvah, Abraham e a sanpa ni kamthoupnae suingun hoi hnicu a rasa teh Rebekah hah a poe. A thangroi hoi a manu hai aphu kaawm e hno hah a poe.
54 And they eat and drink, he and the men who [are] with him, and lodge all night; and they rise in the morning, and he says, “Send me to my lord”;
Ahni hoi a huinaw teh a canei awh teh, hote tangmin teh a roe awh. Amom a thaw teh ka bawipa koe na cetsak awh, telah ati.
55 and her brother says—her mother also, “Let the young person abide with us a week or ten days, afterward she goes.”
Hateiteh, a thangroi hoi a manu ni, napuica teh hnin dongdeng, hnin hra touh thung teh kaimouh koe awm sak ei, hahoi ka ceisak han telah atipouh awh.
56 And he says to them, “Do not delay me, seeing YHWH has prospered my way; send me away, and I go to my lord”;
Ahni ni ahnimouh koevah, na haw awh hanh leih. BAWIPA ni ka ceinae dawk a lamcawn sak e patetlah ka bawipa koevah ka ban thai nahanlah na cetsak awh.
57 and they say, “Let us call for the young person, and inquire of her mouth”;
Ahnimouh ni, napuica kaw awh vaiteh, amae pahni ring awh ei sei telah ati awh.
58 and they call for Rebekah, and say to her, “Do you go with this man?” And she says, “I go.”
Rebekah hah a kaw awh teh, hete tongpa koe na cei han maw telah a pacei awh. Napui ni ka cei han telah ati.
59 And they send away their sister Rebekah, and her nurse, and Abraham’s servant, and his men;
Hatdawkvah, a tawncanu Rebekah hoi kaawmkhai e, Abraham e a san hoi a hnukkâbang teh a ceisak awh.
60 and they bless Rebekah, and say to her, “You [are] our sister; become thousands of myriads, and your seed possesses the gate of those hating it.”
Hahoi ahnimouh ni Rebekah, ka tawncanu, nang teh tami a thongsang e manu lah na awm naseh, Na ca catounnaw ni a tarannaw e longkhanaw hah uk awh naseh telah yawhawi a poe awh.
61 And Rebekah and her young women arise, and ride on the camels, and go after the man; and the servant takes Rebekah and goes.
Rebekah ni a tho teh a sannunaw hoi kalauk van a kâcui teh tongpa hnuk a kâbang. Hahoi, Abraham e a san ni Rebekah hah a hrawi.
62 And Isaac has come in from the entrance of the Well of the Living One, my Beholder; and he is dwelling in the land of the south,
Isak teh Beerlahairoi koe lahoi a tho. Bangkongtetpawiteh, akalah kaawm e doeh.
63 and Isaac goes out to meditate in the field, at the turning of the evening, and he lifts up his eyes, and looks, and behold, camels are coming.
Tangminlasa vah Isak teh khopouk hanlah law lah a cei teh radoung teh a khet nah kalauk a tho e hah a hmu.
64 And Rebekah lifts up her eyes, and sees Isaac, and comes down off the camel;
Rebekah ni a khet teh Isak a hmu toteh, kalauk van hoi a kum.
65 and she says to the servant, “Who [is] this man who is walking in the field to meet us?” And the servant says, “It [is] my lord”; and she takes the veil, and covers herself.
Bangkongtetpawiteh, a san koevah, law dawkvah maimouh dawn hanlah ka tho e tami teh apimaw, telah yo a pacei toe. A san ni ka bawipa doeh telah atipouh. Hatdawkvah, minhmai ramuknae hni a la teh a minhmai hah a ramuk.
66 And the servant recounts to Isaac all the things that he has done,
A san ni a sak e naw pueng Isak koevah a dei pouh.
67 and Isaac brings her into the tent of his mother Sarah, and he takes Rebekah, and she becomes his wife, and he loves her, and Isaac is comforted after [the death of] his mother.
Isak ni Rebekah teh a manu Sarah e lukkareiim dawk a kâenkhai. A yu lah a coung teh a lungpataw. Hatdawkvah, a manu a due hnukkhu vah, Isak teh a lungmawng.
