Genesis 24
1 Now Abraham was old, well advanced in days, 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 to his servant, the elder of his household, who was in charge over all that he had, "Please put 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 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,
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 must go to my country and to my relatives, and get a wife for 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 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?"
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 Then Abraham told him, "Be careful that you do not take my son back there.
Рече же к нему Авраам: внемли себе, да не возвратиши сына моего онамо.
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.
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 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."
аще же не восхощет жена поити с тобою в землю сию, чист будеши от заклятия моего: точию сына моего не возврати тамо.
9 So the servant put his hand under the thigh of his master Abraham and gave his oath to him concerning this matter.
И положи раб руку свою под стегно Авраама господина своего, и кляся ему о словеси сем.
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.
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 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.
и постави велблюды вне града у кладязя воднаго под вечер, егда исходят (жены) почерпати воды,
12 Then he said, "God of my master Abraham, please grant me success today and show kindness to my master Abraham.
и рече: Господи, Боже господина моего Авраама, благоустрой предо мною днесь, и сотвори милость с господином моим Авраамом:
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.
се, аз стах у кладязя воднаго, дщери же живущих во граде исходят почерпати воды:
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."
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 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.
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 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.
девица же бяше доброзрачна зело: дева бе, муж не позна ея. Сошедши же на кладязь, наполни водонос свой и взыде.
17 Then the servant ran to meet her, and said, "Please give me a little water to drink from your jug."
Тече же раб во сретение ей и рече: напой мя мало водою от водоноса твоего.
18 So she said, "Drink, my lord." And she hurried and let down her jug to her hands, and gave him a drink.
Сия же рече: пий, господине. И потщася, и сня водонос на мышца своя, и напои его, дондеже напися.
19 Now when she had finished giving him a drink, she said, "I will also draw for your camels, until they have finished drinking."
И рече: и велблюдом твоим налию, дондеже вси напиются.
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.
И потщася, и испраздни водонос в поило: и тече паки на кладязь почерпнути воды, и влия велблюдом всем.
21 And the man watched her in silence so as to know whether God had made his journey successful or not.
Человек же выразумеваше ю и помолчеваше, да уразумеет, аще благоустрои Бог путь ему, или ни.
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,
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? Please tell me, is there room in your father's house for us to lodge?"
И вопроси ю и рече: чия еси дщерь? Повеждь ми, аще есть у отца твоего место нам витати?
24 Then she said to him, "I am the daughter of Bethuel, the son of Milcah, whom she bore to Nahor."
Она же рече ему: дщерь Вафуилева есмь (сына) Мелхина, егоже роди Нахору.
25 And she also said to him, "We have plenty of straw and fodder, and room to lodge."
И рече ему: и плевы и сена много у нас, и место витати.
26 Then the man bowed his head and worshiped God,
И благословив человек, поклонися Господу
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."
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 Then the young woman ran, and told her mother's household about these words.
И текши девица в дом матере своея, поведа по глаголом сим.
29 Now Rebekah had a brother, and his name was Laban, and he ran out to the man at the spring.
Ревекце же бяше брат, емуже имя Лаван: и тече Лаван к человеку вон на кладязь.
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.
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 God. Why do you stand outside? 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 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.
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 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."
и предложи им хлебы ясти, и рече: не ям, дондеже возглаголю словеса моя. И рече: глаголи.
34 So he said, "I am Abraham's servant.
И рече: раб Авраамль есмь аз:
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.
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 bore a son to my master when she was old, and to him he has given all that he has.
и роди Сарра, жена господина моего, сына единаго господину моему, состаревшемуся ему, и даде ему елика имяше:
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,
и закля мя господин мой, глаголя: не поймеши жены сыну моему от дщерей Хананейских, в нихже аз обитаю в земли их:
38 but you must go to my father's house, and to my relatives, and get a wife for my son.'
но в дом отца моего пойдеши, и в племя мое, и поймеши жену сыну моему оттуду:
39 And I said to my master, 'What if the woman will not follow me?'
рех же (аз) господину моему: а егда не восхощет жена со мною ити?
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.
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 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.'
тогда будеши чист от заклинания моего: егда бо дойдеши в племя мое, и не дадят ти, и будеши чист от заклинания моего:
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—
и пришед днесь на кладязь, рекох: Господи, Боже господина моего Авраама, аще Ты благоустрояеши путь мой, в оньже ныне аз иду:
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,"
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 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.'
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 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.'
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 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.
И потщавшися сня водонос с себе на мышцу свою и рече: пий ты, и велблюды твоя напою. И напихся, и велблюды моя напои.
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.
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 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.
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 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."
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, "The matter comes from God. We can't speak to you bad or good.
Отвещавша же Лаван и Вафуил, рекоста: от Господа прииде дело сие: не возможем ти противу рещи зло или благо:
51 Look, Rebekah is before you. Take, and go, and let her become the wife of your master's son, as God has spoken."
се, Ревекка пред тобою: поемь ю, иди: и да будет жена сыну господина твоего, якоже глагола Господь.
52 And it happened when Abraham's servant heard their words, that he bowed himself down to the ground.
Бысть же егда услыша раб Авраамль словеса сия, поклонися до земли Господу.
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.
И изнес раб сосуды златы и сребряны и ризы, даде Ревекце: и дары даде брату ея и матери ея.
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."
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 But her brother and her mother said, "Let the young woman stay with us ten days or so. After that she may go."
Реша же братия ея и мати: да пребудет девица с нами яко десять дний, и посем пойдет.
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."
Он же рече к ним: не держите мя, Господь бо благоустрои путь мой во мне: отпустите мя, да иду к господину моему.
57 Then they said, "We will call the young woman and ask her."
Они же реша: призовем девицу и вопросим ея изоуст.
58 So they called Rebekah, and said to her, "Will you go with this man?" And she replied, "I will go."
И призваша Ревекку и реша ей: пойдеши ли с человеком сим? Она же рече: пойду.
59 So they sent away their sister Rebekah, 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 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."
И благословиша Ревекку и реша ей: сестра наша еси, буди в тысящы тем, и да наследит семя твое грады супостат.
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.
Воставши же Ревекка и рабыни ея, вседоша на велблюды и поидоша с человеком. И поим раб Ревекку, отиде.
62 Now Isaac had come from the way of Beer Lahai Roi, for he was living in the land of the Negev.
Исаак же прехождаше сквозе пустыню у кладязя Видения: сам же живяше на земли на полудне.
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.
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 dismounted from the camel.
И воззревши Ревекка очима своима, виде Исаака: и изскочи с велблюда.
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.
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 the things that he had done.
И поведа раб Исааку вся словеса, яже сотвори.
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.
Вниде же Исаак в дом матере своея, и поя Ревекку, и бысть ему жена: и возлюби ю, и утешися Исаак по Сарре матери своей.
