Genesis 24
1 And Abraham [is] old, he has entered into days, and YHWH has 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 says to his servant, the eldest of his house, who is ruling over all that he has, “Please put your 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 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;
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 to my land and to my family you go, and have taken a wife for my son, for Isaac.”
fe mañaveloa mb’an-taneko naho mb’aman-dongoko mb’eo hangala-baly ho a’ Ietsàk’ anako.
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?”
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 says to him, “Take heed to yourself lest you cause my son to return there;
Hoe t’i Avrahame tama’e, Mitaoa tsy hampoli’o añe i anadahikoy.
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;
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 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.”
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 puts his hand under the thigh of Abraham his lord, and swears to him concerning this 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 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;
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 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.
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 says, “YHWH, God of my lord Abraham, please cause to meet before me this day—(and do kindness with my lord 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 am standing by the fountain of water, and daughters of the men of the city are coming 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 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.”
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 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,
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 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.
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 runs to meet her and says, “Please let me swallow a little water from your pitcher”;
Nihitrihitry hifanalaka ama’e i mpitoroñey, nanao ty hoe, Ehe anjotsò, hitsopeke rano amo kiboloha’oo.
18 and she says, “Drink, my lord”; and she hurries, and lets down her pitcher on her hand, and gives him drink.
Mikamà, roandria hoe re, le nazè’e aniany an-taña’e i kiboloha’ey le nanjotsoa’e.
19 And she finishes giving him drink and says, “Also for your camels I draw until they have finished drinking”;
Ie niheneke ty nampikama’e aze, le hoe re, Ho tarihako ka o rameva’oo ampara’ te etsa-drano.
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.
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, remains silent, to know whether YHWH has made his way prosperous or not.
Nilatsa’ indatiy, nianjiñe avao haharendreke ke nampihenefa’ Iehovà i lia’ey he tsie.
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),
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 says, “Whose daughter [are] you? Please declare to me, is the house of your father a place 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 says to him, “I [am] daughter of Bethuel, son of Milcah, whom she has borne to Nahor.”
Hoe re tama’e, Ana’ i Betoele, ana’ i Milkae iraho, nasama’e amy Nakore.
25 She also says to him, “Both straw and provender [are] abundant with us, also a place to lodge in.”
Nitovoña’e ty hoe, Amañ’ ahetse naho hanen-kare mahaheneke zahay vaho traño ialeñañe.
26 And the man bows, and pays respect to YHWH,
Nabotre’ indatiy ty añambone’e nitalaho am’ Iehovà,
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.”
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 young person runs, and declares to the house of her mother according to these words.
Nilay mb’añ’anjomban-drene’e mb’eo amy zao i somondraray nitalily irezay.
29 And Rebekah has a brother, and his name [is] Laban, and Laban runs to the man who [is] outside, to the fountain;
Aman’ drahalahy atao Labàne t’i Ribkae, le nihitrike ty lay mb’ am’ indaty am-bovoñey t’i Labàne,
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.
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 says, “Come in, O blessed one of YHWH! Why do you stand outside—and I have prepared the house and place for the camels?”
Hoe re, Miheova, ry tahie’ Iehovà. Ino ty ijohaña’o alafe atoy? fa nihajarieko traño naho toetse o ramevao.
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:
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 sets before him to eat; but he says, “I do not eat until I have spoken my word”; and he says, “Speak.”
Nanjotsoañe hikama, fa hoe ka re, Tsy hihinañe naho tsy taroñeko hey i namantohañ’ ahiy. Hoe ty natoi’e, Itaroño.
34 And he says, “I [am] Abraham’s servant;
Aa le hoe re, Mpitoro’ i Avrahame iraho.
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;
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 lord’s wife, bears a son to my lord, after she has been aged, and he gives to him all that he has.
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 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.
Nampifantan-talèko ahy ty hoe, Ko angala’o valy amo anak’ ampela nte-Kanàne, tompo’ ty tane imoneñako atoio i anakoy;
38 If not—to the house of my father you go, and to my family, and you have taken a wife for my son.
fa ty anjomban-draeko ty homba’o; amo rolongokoo ty hangala’o valy ho a i anakoy.
39 And I say to my lord, It may be the woman does not come after me;
Le hoe Iraho amy talèkoy, Kera tsy hañorik’ ahy i ampela zay.
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;
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 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.
Le ho afak’ amy nifantàkoy irehe lehe mivotrak’ aman-drolongoko ao fe tsy hitolora’ iareo, vaho toe ho haha amy nifantàkoy.
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—
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 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,
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 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.
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 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,
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 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.
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 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,
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 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.
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 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.”
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 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;
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 you, take and go, and she is a wife to your lord’s son, as YHWH has spoken.”
Ingo, añatrefa’o t’i Ribkae, rambeso; mañaveloa vaho ampañengao i anan-talè’oy ty amy tsara’ Iehovày.
52 And it comes to pass, when the servant of Abraham has heard their words, that he bows himself toward the earth before YHWH;
Ie nahajanjiñe i enta’ iareoy i mpitoro’ i Avrahamey, le niankohoke an-tane am’ Iehovà;
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.
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 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”;
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 says—her mother also, “Let the young person abide with us a week or ten days, afterward she goes.”
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 says to them, “Do not delay me, seeing YHWH has prospered my way; send me away, and I go to my lord”;
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 say, “Let us call for the young person, and inquire of her mouth”;
Hoe iereo, Ho tokave’ay i ampelay, hañontane am-bava’e.
58 and they call for Rebekah, and say to her, “Do you go with this man?” And she says, “I 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 send away their sister Rebekah, 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 bless Rebekah, and say to her, “You [are] our sister; become thousands of myriads, and your seed possesses the gate of those hating it.”
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 and her young women arise, and ride on the camels, and go after the man; and the servant takes Rebekah and goes.
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 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,
Ie henane zay niakatse amy lala’ i Vovon-Daka’iroiy t’Ietsàke, ie fa nimoneñe an-tane’ Nègeve ao.
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.
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 lifts up her eyes, and sees Isaac, and comes down off the camel;
Niandra ka t’i Ribkae nahaoniñe Ietsàke le nizotso amy ramevay,
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.
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 recounts to Isaac all the things that he has done,
Hene natalili’ i mpitoroñey am’ Ietsàke o nanoe’eo.
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.
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.
