Genesis 24
1 Now Abraham was old, well advanced in days, 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 to his servant, the elder of his household, who was in charge over all that he had, "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 will make you swear by the God of heaven and earth, that you must not take a wife for my son from the daughters of the Canaanites, among whom I am living,
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 you must go to my country and to my relatives, and get a wife for my son Isaac."
fe mañaveloa mb’an-taneko naho mb’aman-dongoko mb’eo hangala-baly ho a’ Ietsàk’ anako.
5 And the servant asked him, "What if the woman isn't willing to follow me to this land? Must I then bring your son back to the land from which you came?"
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 Then Abraham told him, "Be careful that you do not take my son back there.
Hoe t’i Avrahame tama’e, Mitaoa tsy hampoli’o añe i anadahikoy.
7 Now the God of heaven, who took me from my father's household and from the land of my birth, who spoke to me and promised me on oath, saying, 'I will give this land to your offspring' -- he will send his angel before you, and you will get 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 But if the woman isn't willing to follow you, then you will be free from this oath to me. Only you must not bring my son back there."
Aa naho tsy mete hañorik’ azo i ampelay, le ho afak’ amo nampifantàkoo; fe tsy hampipolie’o añe i ana-dahikoy.
9 So the servant put his hand under the thigh of his master Abraham and gave his oath 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 Then the servant took ten camels from his master's camels and departed, having a variety of good things from his master at his disposal, and he set out and went 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 made the camels kneel down outside the city by the well of water at the time of evening, the time when 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 Then he said, "God of my master Abraham, please grant me success today and show kindness to 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 Look, I am standing by the spring of water, and the 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 Now may it happen that the young woman to whom I will say, 'Please lower your jug that I may drink,' and she answers, 'Drink, and I will also give your camels a drink,'—her you have chosen for your servant Isaac. By this I will know that you have shown kindness to 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 happened, before he had finished speaking, that look, Rebekah was coming out with her jug on her shoulder—who was born to Bethuel the son of Milcah, the wife of Nahor, Abraham's brother.
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 Now the young woman was very beautiful in appearance, a virgin; no man had ever slept with her. And she went down to the spring and filled her jug 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 Then the servant ran to meet her, and said, "Please give me a little water to drink from your jug."
Nihitrihitry hifanalaka ama’e i mpitoroñey, nanao ty hoe, Ehe anjotsò, hitsopeke rano amo kiboloha’oo.
18 So she said, "Drink, my lord." And she hurried and let down her jug to her hands, and gave him a drink.
Mikamà, roandria hoe re, le nazè’e aniany an-taña’e i kiboloha’ey le nanjotsoa’e.
19 Now when she had finished giving him a drink, she said, "I will also draw for your camels, 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 So she hurried and emptied her jug into the trough and ran again to the well to draw, 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 watched her in silence so as to know whether God had made his journey successful or not.
Nilatsa’ indatiy, nianjiñe avao haharendreke ke nampihenefa’ Iehovà i lia’ey he tsie.
22 And it happened, as the camels had finished drinking, that the man took a gold ring weighing a beka, which he put on her nose, and two bracelets for her hands weighing ten pieces 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 are you? Please tell me, is there room in your father's house for us to lodge?"
vaho nanao ty hoe, Toñono amako, ana’ia irehe. Ehe mete tsahatse anay hialeñe hao ty añ’akiban-drae’o?
24 Then she said to him, "I am the daughter of Bethuel, the son of Milcah, whom she bore to Nahor."
Hoe re tama’e, Ana’ i Betoele, ana’ i Milkae iraho, nasama’e amy Nakore.
25 And she also said to him, "We have plenty of straw and fodder, and room to lodge."
Nitovoña’e ty hoe, Amañ’ ahetse naho hanen-kare mahaheneke zahay vaho traño ialeñañe.
26 Then the man bowed his head and worshiped God,
Nabotre’ indatiy ty añambone’e nitalaho am’ Iehovà,
27 and said, "Blessed be the God of my master Abraham, who has not forsaken his loving kindness and his truth toward my master. As for me, he has led me on the journey to the house of my master's relatives."
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 Then the young woman ran, and told her mother's household about these words.
Nilay mb’añ’anjomban-drene’e mb’eo amy zao i somondraray nitalily irezay.
29 Now Rebekah had a brother, and his name was Laban, and he ran out to the man at the spring.
Aman’ drahalahy atao Labàne t’i Ribkae, le nihitrike ty lay mb’ am’ indaty am-bovoñey t’i Labàne,
30 And it happened, when he saw the nose ring and the bracelets on his sister's wrists, and when he heard the words of Rebekah his sister, saying, "This is what the man said to me," that he went to the man. And look, he was standing by the camels at the spring.
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, you blessed of God. Why do you stand outside? 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 So the man went into the house and he unloaded the camels. And he gave straw and fodder for the camels, and water to wash his feet and the feet of the men who 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 he set before him food to eat, but he said, "I will not eat until I have told my message." And he said, "Say it."
Nanjotsoañe hikama, fa hoe ka re, Tsy hihinañe naho tsy taroñeko hey i namantohañ’ ahiy. Hoe ty natoi’e, Itaroño.
34 So he said, "I am Abraham's servant.
Aa le hoe re, Mpitoro’ i Avrahame iraho.
35 And the Lord has blessed my master greatly, so that he has become great, and he has given him sheep and cattle, and silver and gold, and male servants and female servants, 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 master's wife bore a son to my master when she was old, and to him he has given 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 Now my master put me under oath, saying, 'You must not take a wife for my son from the daughters of the Canaanites, in whose land I live,
Nampifantan-talèko ahy ty hoe, Ko angala’o valy amo anak’ ampela nte-Kanàne, tompo’ ty tane imoneñako atoio i anakoy;
38 but you must go to my father's house, and to my relatives, and get 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 said to my master, 'What if the woman will not follow me?'
Le hoe Iraho amy talèkoy, Kera tsy hañorik’ ahy i ampela zay.
40 But he said to me, 'God, before whom I walk, will send his angel with you, and make your journey successful, and you will get a wife for my son from my relatives, 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 will you be free from my oath, when you come to my relatives. And if they do not give her to you, then you will be free 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 So today I came to the spring, and said, 'God of my master Abraham, if now you will make my journey successful in 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 look, I am standing by this spring of water, and may it happen that the young woman who comes out to draw, to whom I will say, "Please give me a little water from your 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 will say to me, "Drink, and I will also draw for your camels,"—may she be the woman who has been chosen 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 Before I had finished praying in my heart, look, Rebekah came out with her jug on her shoulder, and she went down to the spring, and drew. And I said to her, 'Please give me a 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 quickly lowered her jug from her shoulder, and said, 'Drink, and I will also give your camels a drink.' So I drank, and she also gave the camels water.
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 Then I asked her, and said, 'Whose daughter are you?' And she replied, 'The daughter of Bethuel, Nahor's son, whom Milcah bore to him.' So I put the ring on her nose, and the bracelets on her wrists.
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 Then I bowed my head and worshiped God, and blessed the God of my master Abraham, who had guided me on the right road to find the granddaughter of my master'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 Now if you will show kindness and truth to 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, "The matter comes from God. We can't 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 Look, Rebekah is before you. Take, and go, and let her become the wife of your master's son, as God has spoken."
Ingo, añatrefa’o t’i Ribkae, rambeso; mañaveloa vaho ampañengao i anan-talè’oy ty amy tsara’ Iehovày.
52 And it happened when Abraham's servant heard their words, that he bowed himself down to the ground.
Ie nahajanjiñe i enta’ iareoy i mpitoro’ i Avrahamey, le niankohoke an-tane am’ Iehovà;
53 Then the servant brought out articles of silver and articles of gold, and clothing, and gave them to Rebekah. And he also gave valuable gifts 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 Then he and the men who were with him ate and drank, and spent the night. Then they got up in the morning, and he said, "Send me away to 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 But her brother and her mother said, "Let the young woman stay with us ten days or so. After that she may go."
Hoe ka ty rahalahi’e naho i rene’e, Angao hitobok’ ama’ay atoy hey re, va’e folo andro vaho hienga.
56 But he said to them, "Do not delay me, seeing that he has made my journey successful. 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 Then they said, "We will call the young woman and ask her."
Hoe iereo, Ho tokave’ay i ampelay, hañontane am-bava’e.
58 So they called Rebekah, and said to her, "Will you go with this man?" And she replied, "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 So they sent 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 blessed Rebekah, and said to her, "Our sister, may you be the mother of thousands of ten thousands, and may your descendants possess the gate of those who 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 and her female servants got ready, and they rode on the camels and followed the man. So the servant took Rebekah and went on 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 Now Isaac had come from the way of Beer Lahai Roi, for he was living in the land of the Negev.
Ie henane zay niakatse amy lala’ i Vovon-Daka’iroiy t’Ietsàke, ie fa nimoneñe an-tane’ Nègeve ao.
63 And Isaac went out in the field to think in the early evening. And he lifted up his eyes and looked, and look, he saw camels approaching.
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 dismounted from the camel.
Niandra ka t’i Ribkae nahaoniñe Ietsàke le nizotso amy ramevay,
65 And she asked the servant, "Who is the man who is walking in the field to meet us?" And the servant said, "It is my master." Then she took her veil 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 the things that he had done.
Hene natalili’ i mpitoroñey am’ Ietsàke o nanoe’eo.
67 Then Isaac brought her into his mother Sarah's tent, and took Rebekah, and she became his wife. And he loved her. So 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.
