Genesis 24
1 Now Abraham was old, well advanced in days, and the LORD had blessed Abraham in all things.
Abraham loe mitong boeh moe, saning doeh coeh boeh; Angraeng mah Abraham to hmuen boih ah tahamhoihaih paek.
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,
Abraham loe a imthung ih tamna kacoeh koek hoi a tawnh ih hmuennawk boih khenzawnkung khaeah, Na ban to ka phaih tlim ah tapawh ah;
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,
ka capa hanah hae Kanaan nongpata zu ah lak pae han ai ah, van hoi long Sithaw khaeah Angraeng ih ahmin hoiah lokkamhaih kang saksak han;
4 but you must go to my country and to my relatives, and get a wife for my son Isaac."
ka prae ah kaimah ih acaengnawk khaeah caeh ah loe, ka capa Issak hanah zu to la paeh, tiah a naa.
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?"
A tamna mah anih khaeah, Nongpata mah hae prae ah angzoh hanah ka hnukah bang koeh ai nahaeloe kawbang maw ka sak han loe? Nang zohhaih prae ah na capa to hoih moe, ka caeh haih let han maw? tiah a naa.
6 Then Abraham told him, "Be careful that you do not take my son back there.
Abraham mah, To ahmuen ah ka capa caeh haih let hmah.
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.
Kam pa imthung hoi kaimah ih acaeng kaminawk ohhaih prae thung hoiah kai zaehoikung, van Angraeng Sithaw mah, Na caanawk khaeah hae prae hae ka paek han, tiah ang thuih moe, lokmaihaih to a sak boeh; ka capa han to ahmuen ih zu to na lak pae thai hanah, na hma ah angmah ih van kami to patoeh tih hmang.
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."
Nongpata mah na hnukah bang han koeh ai nahaeloe, ka lokkamhaih thung hoiah na loih tih; toe ka capa to to ahmuen ah caeh haih let hmah, tiah a naa.
9 So the servant put his hand under the thigh of his master Abraham and gave his oath to him concerning this matter.
To pongah a tamna mah angmah ih angraeng Abraham ih phaih tlim ah ban to tapawh moe, hae hmuen kawng pongah anih khaeah lokkamhaih to a sak.
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.
To pacoengah a tamna loe angmah angraeng ih kaengkuu hrang hato lak, angmah angraeng ih kahoih hmuen congcanawk to a sin pacoengah, Mesopotamia prae, Nahor vangpui ah caeh hanah amsak.
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.
Nongpatanawk tuidok tue duembang phak naah loe, vangpui tasa bang ih tui ohhaih ahmuen ah kaengkuu hrangnawk to taboksak.
12 Then he said, "God of my master Abraham, please grant me success today and show kindness to my master Abraham.
To naah anih mah, Aw ka angraeng Abraham ih Angraeng Sithaw, vaihni ah ka thuih ih lok hae angcoengsak ah loe, ka angraeng Abraham nuiah na tahmenhaih amtuengsak ah.
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.
Khenah, hae ih tui khaw taengah kang doet, vangpui thung ih nongpatanawk tuidok han angzoh o naah,
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."
Tangla maeto khaeah, tui tabu to amtii raeh loe tui naek hanah na paek thoem ah, tiah ka naa han, to naah anih mah, Nae khae, nangmah ih kaengkuu hrangnawk hanah doeh tui kang dok paek han, tiah kathui nongpata to na tamna Issak ih zu ah om nasoe; to naah ni ka angraeng nuiah tahmenhaih nam tuengsak, tito ka panoek thai tih, tiah a naa.
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.
To tiah lawkthuih pacoeng ai naah, khenah, Abraham ih amnawk Nahor zu Milkah capa, Bethuel ih canu, Rebekah loe tui tabu to sin moe, angzoh.
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.
To nongpata loe kranghoih parai moe, kacuem tangla ah oh; kawbaktih nongpa hoiah doeh iip vai ai vop; anih loe tuikhaw ah caeh tathuk moe, tui to dok pacoengah angzoh tahang let.
17 Then the servant ran to meet her, and said, "Please give me a little water to drink from your jug."
To naah tamna loe nongpata khaeah karangah caeh moe, anih khaeah, Na tui tabu pong ih tui to na naesak thoem ah, tiah a naa.
18 So she said, "Drink, my lord." And she hurried and let down her jug to her hands, and gave him a drink.
Anih mah, Ka angraeng, nae khae, tiah a naa. A ban pong ih tui tabu to karangah amtik moe, naek hanah tui to a paek.
19 Now when she had finished giving him a drink, she said, "I will also draw for your camels, until they have finished drinking."
Anih han naek tui paek pacoengah, nongpata mah, Nang ih kaengkuu hrangnawk hanah doeh tui kang dok pae han, tiah a naa.
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.
Tui tabu pong ih tui to okduk pongah karangah a lawn moe, tuidok let hanah tui khaw ah a caeh let; kaengkuu hrangnawk to tui a paek boih.
21 And the man watched her in silence so as to know whether God had made his journey successful or not.
To kami mah nongpata to hnuk naah dawnrai, Angraeng mah anih kholong caehhaih to hmacawnsak maw, cawnsak ai, tito panoek hanah anghngai duem.
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,
Kaengkuu hrangnawk tuinaeksak boih pacoengah, to kami mah shekel ahap kazit naa tangkraeng, shekel hato kazit sui hoiah sak ih banlakok to lak moe,
23 and said, "Whose daughter are you? Please tell me, is there room in your father's house for us to lodge?"
nang loe mi ih canu aa? Na thui ah, kaicae toem hanah nam pa ih im to kong tih maw? tiah a naa.
24 Then she said to him, "I am the daughter of Bethuel, the son of Milcah, whom she bore to Nahor."
Nongpata mah anih khaeah, Kai loe Nahor ih zu Milkah capa, Bethuel ih canu ah ka oh, tiah a naa.
25 And she also said to him, "We have plenty of straw and fodder, and room to lodge."
To nongpata mah anih khaeah, Caphaeh hoi caaknaek doeh kakhawt ah oh moe, iih haih ahmuen doeh oh bae, tiah a naa.
26 Then the man bowed his head and worshiped God,
To naah to kami mah akuep moe, Angraeng to a bok.
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."
Anih mah, a tahmenhaih hoi oepthohhaih to caehtaak ai, ka angraeng Abraham ih Angraeng Sithaw loe, tahamhoihaih om nasoe; kholong ka caeh naah ka angraeng ih nawkamyanawk im ah Angraeng mah ang patoeh boeh, tiah a thuih.
28 Then the young woman ran, and told her mother's household about these words.
Nongpata loe cawnh moe, amno ih imthung takoh khaeah to ih hmuen kawng to a thuih pae.
29 Now Rebekah had a brother, and his name was Laban, and he ran out to the man at the spring.
Rebekah mah Laban, tiah ahmin kaom a thangqoi maeto tawnh; anih loe to kami ohhaih ahmuen tui khaw ah karangah cawnh.
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.
Laban mah naa tangkraeng hoi a tanuh ban ih banlakok to hnuk moe, Abraham tamna mah thuih ih lok doeh Rebekah khae hoi a thaih pongah, to kami khaeah a caeh, to naah to kami loe tui khaw taengah kaom kaengkuu hrangnawk ohhaih ahmuen ah angdoet.
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."
Anih khaeah, Angraeng mah tahamhoihaih paek ih kami nang, angzo ah, tipongah tasa bangah nang doet sut loe? Nang hanah im ka pathoep moe, kaengkuu hrangnawk ohhaih ahmuen doeh ka sak boeh, tiah a naa.
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.
To kami to im ah caeh haih moe, kaengkuu hrang pong ih hmuennawk to amtiksak; kaengkuu hrangnawk hanah caphaeh hoi caak koi hmuennawk to a paek; angmah hoi angmah ih kaminawk khok amsaeh hanah tui doeh a sin pae.
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."
To pacoengah anih han buh to patoem pae, toe anih mah, Ka thuih han koi lok ka thui ai karoek to buh ka caa mak ai, tiah a naa. Laban mah, To tih nahaeloe thui khae, tiah a naa.
34 So he said, "I am Abraham's servant.
To pongah to kami mah, Kai loe Abraham ih tamna ah ka oh.
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.
Sithaw mah ka angraeng to kating ai tahamhoihaih to paek pongah, anih loe angraeng parai; tuuunawk, maitawnawk, phoisa hoi suinawk, a tamna nongpa hoi nongpatanawk, kaengkuu hrang hoi laa hrangnawk doeh tawnh mang.
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.
Ka angraeng ih zu Sarah mah mitong pacoengah capa maeto sak pae moe, a tawnh ih hmuenmaenawk boih a capa hanah paek.
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,
Ka angraeng mah, Ka ohhaih prae thung ih, Kanaan tanuhnawk to ka capa han zu ah la pae hmah;
38 but you must go to my father's house, and to my relatives, and get a wife for my son.'
toe kam pa ih imthung takohnawk hoi kaimah ih acaeng kaminawk khaeah caeh ah loe, ka capa han zu to la paeh, tiah lok ang kamsak.
39 And I said to my master, 'What if the woman will not follow me?'
To naah kai mah ka angraeng khaeah, Nongpata mah ka hnukah bang han koeh ai nahaeloe kawbang maw ka sak han loe? tiah ka naa.
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.
To naah anih mah kai khaeah, Kai loe, Angraeng hmaa ah kacaeh, to Angraeng mah angmah ih van kami to nang hoi nawnto patoeh ueloe, kholong na caehhaih hmacawnsak tih; kaimah ih acaeng hoi kam pa imthung takoh thung ih kami to ka capa han zu ah na la pae thaih tih hmang;
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.'
ka caengnawk khaeah na caeh pacoengah loe, kang saksak ih lokkamhaih thung hoiah na loih tih boeh; nihcae mah zu na paek o ai cadoeh, nang loe kang saksak ih lokkamhaih thung hoiah na loih tih boeh, tiah ang naa.
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—
Vaihniah tui ohhaih ahmuen ah ka phak naah, Aw, ka angraeng Abraham ih Angraeng Sithaw, kholong ka caehhaih hae hma na cawnsak nahaeloe,
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,"
khenah, Kai loe tui ohhaih ahmuen taengah kang doet, tui kadoh tangla cuem angzoh naah anih khaeah, Na tui tabu pong ih tui to na naesak thoem ah, tiah ka naa han;
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.'
to naah anih mah, Nae khae, nang ih kaengkuu hrangnawk han doeh tui kang dok pae han, tiah thui kami to ka angraeng capa hanah Angraeng mah qoih ih zu ah om nasoe, tiah lawk ka thuih.
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.'
Ka palung thung hoi lawkthuih boeng ai naah, Angmah ih palaeng ah tui tabu koeng moe, angzo Rebekah to ka hnuk; anih loe tuikung ah caeh tathuk moe, tui to a dok; to naah kai mah anih khaeah, Tui na naesak thoem ah, tiah ka naa.
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.
To naah anih mah angmah palaeng nui ih tuidue to karangah amtik moe, Nae khae, nang ih kaengkuu hrangnawk doeh tui ka paek han, tiah ang naa. To pongah tui to ka naek pacoengah, kaengkuu hrangnawk to tui a paek.
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.
To pongah kai mah, Nang loe mi ih canu aa? tiah lok ka dueng. Anih mah, Milkah mah sak ih Nahor capa, Bethuel ih canu ni, tiah ang pathim. To naah kai mah anih hanah naa tangkraeng to ka paek moe, a ban ah banlakok to ka buensak.
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.
To pacoengah ka kuep moe, Angraeng to ka bok; ka angraeng Abraham amnawk ih canu patoeng to, a capa ih zu ah laksak hanah, katoeng loklam ah zaehoikung, ka angraeng Abraham ih Angraeng Sithaw to tahamhoihaih ka paek pacoengah, Angraeng to ka bok.
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."
Vaihi ka angraeng nuiah tahmenhaih hoi oepthohhaih nam tueng o sak han maw, nam tueng o sak han ai, tito na thui oh; kai doeh bantang bangah maw, to ai boeh loe banqoi bangah maw, angqoi moe ka caeh han, tiah a thuih pae.
50 Then Laban and Bethuel answered, "The matter comes from God. We can't speak to you bad or good.
Laban hoi Bethuel mah, Hae hmuen loe Angraeng mah khokhan ih boeh ni; nang khaeah kasae kahoih kang thui hoi thai mak ai.
51 Look, Rebekah is before you. Take, and go, and let her become the wife of your master's son, as God has spoken."
Khenah, Rebakah loe na hma ah oh; anih to la ah loe, caeh haih ah; Angraeng mah thuih ih lok baktih toengah, anih loe na angraeng capa ih zu ah om nasoe, tiah a thuih pae hoi.
52 And it happened when Abraham's servant heard their words, that he bowed himself down to the ground.
Nihnik mah thuih ih lok to Abraham ih tamna mah thaih naah, Long ah akuep moe, Angraeng to a bok.
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.
To pacoengah sui hoi phoisa, amthoephaih khukbuennawk to a lak moe, Rebekah hanah a paek pacoengah, atho kana hmuennawk to a thangqoi hoi amno hanah doeh a paek.
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."
To pacoengah angmah hoi nawnto angzo kaminawk hoi nawnto buhcaak o moe, qum to a iih o; khawnbang khawnthaw ah angthawk o pacoengah, anih mah, Ka angraeng khaeah na caehsak lai ah, tiah a naa.
55 But her brother and her mother said, "Let the young woman stay with us ten days or so. After that she may go."
Toe a thangqoi hoi amno mah, Tangla loe kaicae khaeah ni hato om rae nasoe, to pacoengah na caeh haih tih hmang, tiah a naa.
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."
Anih mah nihnik khaeah, Na kang hoi hmah; Angraeng mah kholong ka caehhaih hmacawnsak boeh pongah, ka angraeng khaeah na caehsak raeh, tiah a naa.
57 Then they said, "We will call the young woman and ask her."
To pacoengah nihnik mah, Tangla to kawk si loe, lokdueng rae si, tiah a naa hoi.
58 So they called Rebekah, and said to her, "Will you go with this man?" And she replied, "I will go."
To pongah Rebekah to kawk hoi moe, anih khaeah, Hae kami hoi nawnto na caeh han maw? tiah lok a dueng hoi naah, anih mah, Ka caeh han, tiah a naa.
59 So they sent away their sister Rebekah, and her nurse, and Abraham's servant, and his men.
To pongah angmah ih tanuh Rebekah hoi anih khenzawnkung loe, Abraham ih tamna, anih hoi nawnto angzo kaminawk hoi nawnto a caehsak.
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."
Rebekah to tahamhoihaih paek hoi moe, anih khaeah, Ka tanuh, sing sangto kaminawk ih amno ah om nasoe loe, na caanawk mah misanawk ih khongkha to toep o nasoe, tiah a naa hoi.
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.
To pacoengah Rebekah hoi anih ih nongpatanawk angthawk o moe, kaengkuu hrang nuiah angthueng o pacoengah, to kami hnuk ah bang o; Abraham ih tamna mah Rebakah to lak moe, a caeh haih.
62 Now Isaac had come from the way of Beer Lahai Roi, for he was living in the land of the Negev.
To naah Issak loe aloih bang prae ah oh pongah, Beer Lahai Roi hoiah angzoh toeng.
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.
Niduem naah loe khopoek hanah lawk ah caeh, a danh naah kangzo kaengkuu hrangnawk to a hnuk.
64 And Rebekah lifted up her eyes, and when she saw Isaac, she dismounted from the camel.
Rebekah mah doeh danh tahang naah, Issak to a hnuk; to naah kaengkuu hrang nui hoi anghum tathuk moe,
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.

66 And the servant told Isaac all the things that he had done.
To pacoengah tamna mah kangcoeng hmuennawk to Issak khaeah a thuih pae boih.
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.
