Genesis 24
1 Now Abraham was old, well advanced in days, and the LORD had blessed Abraham in all things.
Abraham uanale na naruꞌ losa namalasi nala seli. LAMATUALAIN nanea e malolole, ma fee ne nasodꞌa no mole dame.
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 ate nemehere na esa, tao mataꞌ neu hata-heto nara. Lao esa, Abraham noꞌe e nae, “Rena malolole! Au oꞌe ho sumba mendiꞌ LAMATUALAIN nara na. Lamatualain mana tao lalai no raefafoꞌ a. Mae, ho afiꞌ haꞌi inaꞌ mia atahori Kanaꞌan ra, fo muꞌusasaoꞌ no ana ngga Isak.
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,
4 but you must go to my country and to my relatives, and get a wife for my son Isaac."
Musi muu sia au nusa ngga, sia au bobꞌonggi nggara. Sangga ana fetoꞌ esa sia naa, fo taꞌasasaoꞌ no ana ngga.”
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?"
Basa de ate naa natane Abraham nae, “Malole, Amaꞌ! Te mete ma ana fetoꞌ a nda nau nema sa, naa taꞌo bee? Au musi o amaꞌ anan fo sao sia naa, do, taꞌo bee?”
6 Then Abraham told him, "Be careful that you do not take my son back there.
Abraham nataa nae, “Musunedꞌa malolole! Mae taꞌo bee o, afiꞌ mo ana ngga naa neu!
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.
Musunedꞌa te LAMATUALAIN mana toꞌu koasa sia lalai no raefafoꞌ a, no au lao hela nusa ngga, de nendi au losa rae ia. Ana tao hehelu-fufuliꞌ no au nae, ‘Dei fo Au fee basa rae ia neu tititi-nonosi ma.’ Dadꞌi afiꞌ hia-bii! Muu neuꞌ ena. Dei fo Lamatualain denu ate Na mia sorga nema soi dalaꞌ fee nggo, fo mundaa mo ana fetoꞌ mana nae dadꞌi ana ngga sao na.
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."
Te mete ma ana fetoꞌ naa nda nau tungga nema sa, naa susumbaꞌ ia nda dai nggo sa. Mae taꞌo bee o, afiꞌ mo ana ngga naa neu.”
9 So the servant put his hand under the thigh of his master Abraham and gave his oath to him concerning this matter.
Boe ma, ate a sumba no Abraham, nae eni tao tungga basa Abraham hihii-nanau na.
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.
Basa naa ma, ana here nala onta sanahulu, de no atahori nara fua sudꞌi a saa meulauꞌ ra reu banda onta ra ata. De lao risiꞌ Nahor kambo na sia Mesopotamia.
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.
Neu mateꞌe na, ate a losa kamboꞌ naa. Ana fee banda onta ra hahae deka oe mataꞌ esa, sia kamboꞌ a suu na. Leleꞌ naa bobꞌoꞌ ena, de ana fetoꞌ ra reu hando oe sia oe mataꞌ a.
12 Then he said, "God of my master Abraham, please grant me success today and show kindness to my master Abraham.
Boe ma ate a hule-oꞌe nae, “LAMATUALAIN, malangga ngga Abraham Lamatua na. Tulun soi dalaꞌ, fo leleo-lalao ngga ia, hambu maloleꞌ. Mutudꞌu rala malole Ma neu malangga ngga, ma musunedꞌa hehelu-fufuli na neu au. Naa fo, undaa o ana fetoꞌ fo mana nae dadꞌi Isak sao na.
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.
Lamatualain, au umburiꞌ sia oe mataꞌ suu na ia. Ana fetoꞌ mia kamboꞌ ia ra rema hando oe sia ia.
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."
Dadꞌi au oꞌe taꞌo ia: Mete ma au olaꞌ o ana fetoꞌ esa ae, ‘Ana fetoꞌ e! Muꞌondaꞌ hura oe ma fo au inu mbei dei.’ Mete ma nataa nae, ‘Amaꞌ minu leo! Ma au o fee banda onta mara rinu boe.’ Naa, dadꞌi bukti, ana fetoꞌ naa Lamatualain dudꞌu basa dadꞌi Isak sao na! No taꞌo naa, au uhine, Lamatualain mutudꞌu malole ma neu malangga ngga Abraham ena.”
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.
Ana nda feꞌe hule-oꞌe basa sa, te ana fetoꞌ esa naran, Ribka, nema. Eni, Abraham odꞌin Nahor no sao na Milka umbu na. Ribka ama na, naran Betuel. Ribka, meulau na seli, ma feꞌe nda nasalaꞌ no touꞌ ra sa. Ana onda oe mataꞌ neu, nadꞌai hura oe na, de hene baliꞌ.
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.
17 Then the servant ran to meet her, and said, "Please give me a little water to drink from your jug."
Ribka losa ataꞌ ma, Abraham ate na nelaꞌ neu. Ana noꞌe nae, “Ana fetoꞌ. Fee au inu mbei dei.”
18 So she said, "Drink, my lord." And she hurried and let down her jug to her hands, and gave him a drink.
Ana fetoꞌ a nataa nae, “Minu leo, toꞌo!” Ana naꞌondaꞌ hura oe na lai-lai, de fee ate a ninu.
19 Now when she had finished giving him a drink, she said, "I will also draw for your camels, until they have finished drinking."
Ana ninu basa ma, ana fetoꞌ a nae, “Au hando oe fee toꞌo banda onta nara, fo rinu raꞌabeta boe.”
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.
Ana oni oe sisaꞌ neu banda onta ra mamana nininu nara, ma nelaꞌ neu hando seluꞌ oe sia oe mataꞌ fo hani banda onta naa ra, losa raꞌabeta.
21 And the man watched her in silence so as to know whether God had made his journey successful or not.
Abraham ate na nambariiꞌ hie-hie, mete namemeu ana fetoꞌ a tatao na. Ana dudꞌuꞌa nae, “Ana fetoꞌ ia, Lamatualain hii nalaꞌ a, do?”
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,
Basa banda onta naa ra rinu losa raꞌabeta. Boe ma ate a fee Ribka bꞌua mafelit fo ana fetoꞌ ra biasa pake. Ana fee ndeli liloꞌ fo nato neu mbana na, ma kale liloꞌ pasan esa, fo olu neu lima nara.
23 and said, "Whose daughter are you? Please tell me, is there room in your father's house for us to lodge?"
Basa ma, ana natane nae, “Ana fetoꞌ e! Ho ama ma, nara na se? Mete ma nau, naa, au sungguꞌ sia ama ma ume na.”
24 Then she said to him, "I am the daughter of Bethuel, the son of Milcah, whom she bore to Nahor."
Ana fetoꞌ a nataa nae, “Ama ngga, naran Betuel. Baꞌi ngga, naran Nahor ma nene ngga, Milka.
25 And she also said to him, "We have plenty of straw and fodder, and room to lodge."
Sia hai ume ma mamana susungguꞌ dai toꞌo se. Uru o naeꞌ fee toꞌo se banda nara boe.”
26 Then the man bowed his head and worshiped God,
Basa ma, ate a beꞌutee neu LAMATUALAIN,
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."
de olaꞌ nae, “Koa-kio Lamatuaꞌ! Lamatuaꞌ soi dalaꞌ fee au ena, de undaa o malangga ngga Abraham bobꞌonggi nara sia ia. No taꞌo naa, Lamatuaꞌ mutudꞌu rala malole Ma neu malangga ngga Abraham, ma tao mutetu hehelu-fufuli na neu au.”
28 Then the young woman ran, and told her mother's household about these words.
Basa ma, ana fetoꞌ a nela baliꞌ, de dui ume isi nara, basa saa fo mana dadꞌiꞌ a.
29 Now Rebekah had a brother, and his name was Laban, and he ran out to the man at the spring.
Ribka naa na, naran Labꞌan. Leleꞌ ana nita bua mbilas ra ma rena Ribka dudꞌui na ma, ana nelaꞌ lai-lai, neu nandaa no ate mana rii-rii no banda onta nara deka oe mataꞌ a.
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.
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."
Labꞌan olaꞌ no e nae, “Toꞌo! Lamatualain no toꞌo losa ia no masodꞌaꞌ ena. Dadꞌi afiꞌ mumburiꞌ siaꞌ a deaꞌ! Uma tisiꞌ hai ume ma. Hai sadꞌia kama ena, ma nanaat fee toꞌo se banda onta nara o, naeꞌ boe.”
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.
Basa boe ma, Abraham ate na tungga Labꞌan, de risiꞌ Betuel ume na. Labꞌan se tulun se raꞌondaꞌ sudꞌiꞌ a saa ra mia banda onta ra. Ara fee banda onta ra uru, ma rendi oe fee ate a no atahori nara safe ei nara.
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."
Ara tao nanaat neu mei ma, ate a nae, “Hita tae taa, te au ae ufadꞌe duduꞌat esa dei.” Labꞌan nataa nae, “Olaꞌ leo, toꞌo.”
34 So he said, "I am Abraham's servant.
Ma ate a nae, “Au ia, hei baꞌi ma Abraham ate na.
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.
LAMATUALAIN fee papala-babꞌanggiꞌ naeꞌ neu malangga ngga, de namasuꞌi seli. Lamatualain fee lilo mbilas, lilo fulaꞌ, ate touꞌ-inaꞌ, ma banda naeꞌ. Naeni: sapi, banda onta, keledai, ma hiek-lombo.
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.
Au malangga ngga touꞌ-inaꞌ ramalasi, dei de mama Sara bꞌonggi fee malangga ngga ana touꞌ esa. Dei fo, ana mana hambu basa Abraham hata-heto nara.
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,
Lao esa, malangga ngga denu au sumba oi, ‘Ho afiꞌ haꞌi ana feto Kanaꞌan, fo muꞌusasaoꞌ no ana mone ngga Isak.
38 but you must go to my father's house, and to my relatives, and get a wife for my son.'
Te ho musi haꞌi ana fetoꞌ mia bobꞌonggi nggara, dadꞌi eni sao naꞌ.’
39 And I said to my master, 'What if the woman will not follow me?'
Boe ma au utane malangga ngga ae, ‘Te mete ma ana fetoꞌ a nda nau tungga au sa naa, taꞌo bee?’
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.
Ana nataa nae, ‘LAMATUALAIN fo au tungga hihii Na, dei fo denu ate Na mia sorga nema soi dalaꞌ fee nggo, fo hambu ana fetoꞌ mia au bobꞌonggi nggara, fo dadꞌi ana ngga sao na.
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.'
Te mete ma bobꞌonggi nggara nda simbo sa, ma nda nau mboiꞌ ana fetoꞌ a nema sia ia sa, naa, susumbaꞌ naa nda dai nggo sa.’
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—
Dadꞌi losa oe mataꞌ a ma, au hule-oꞌe sia rala ngga ae, ‘LAMATUALAIN, malangga ngga Abraham Lamatua na. Tulun soi dalaꞌ, fo leleo-lalao ngga ia, hambu maloleꞌ. Naa fo, au undaa o ana fetoꞌ fo mana nae dadꞌi Isak sao na.
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,"
Lamatualain, au umburiiꞌ sia oe mataꞌ ia suu na. Ana fetoꞌ mia kamboꞌ ia ra rema hando oe sia ia. Dadꞌi au oꞌe taꞌo ia: Mete ma au olaꞌ o ana fetoꞌ esa ae, ‘Ana fetoꞌ e! Muꞌondaꞌ hura oe ma fo au inu mbei dei.’
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.'
Mete ma ana nataa nae, ‘Amaꞌ minu leo! Ma au o fee banda mara rinu boe.’ Naa, dadꞌi bukti, ana fetoꞌ naa Lamatualain dudꞌu basa dadꞌi Isak sao na!
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.'
Au nda feꞌe hule-oꞌe basa sa, te Ribka nema nendi hura oe na, de hando oe sia oe mataꞌ a. Ana hene ata neu ma, au oꞌe ae, ‘Ana fetoꞌ e. Fee au inu mbei dei.’
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.
Boe ma ana naꞌondaꞌ hura oe na, de nae, ‘Toꞌo e, minu leo! Au o hani toꞌo banda nara boe.’ De au inu ma banda onta ra o rinu boe.
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.
Basa ma, utane e ae, ‘Ama ma, naran seka?’ Nataa nae, ‘Ama ngga, naran Betuel. Baꞌi ngga, Nahor ma nene ngga, Milka.’ Boe ma au fee ne ndeli a ma kale ra.
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.
Boe ma, au beꞌutee neu Lamatualain ae, ‘Koa-kio Lamatualain! Lamatualain soi dalaꞌ fee au, de undaa o malangga Abraham bobꞌonggi nara sia ia. Ma au o undaa o mana nae dadꞌi malangga soruꞌ a sao na boe.’
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."
De ia naa, mete ma amaꞌ se mae mitudꞌu susueꞌ neu malangga ngga Abraham, naa, mifadꞌe au relo-relo. Mete ma hokoꞌ o, mifadꞌe relo-relo boe. Naa fo au bubꞌuluꞌ musi tao saa.”
50 Then Laban and Bethuel answered, "The matter comes from God. We can't speak to you bad or good.
Ate a olaꞌ basa ma, Labꞌan no Betuel rataa rae, “Mete ma LAMATUALAIN tao nala taꞌo naa, naa, hai mae saa fai.
51 Look, Rebekah is before you. Take, and go, and let her become the wife of your master's son, as God has spoken."
Ribka sia ia, de mo e naa neu leo fo dadꞌi baꞌi Abraham ana feto feu na, tungga saa fo LAMATUALAIN ator nalaꞌ a ena.”
52 And it happened when Abraham's servant heard their words, that he bowed himself down to the ground.
Ate a rena nala ma, ana beꞌutee losa rae, fo noꞌe makasi neu LAMATUALAIN.
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.
Basa ma, ana haꞌi lilo mbilas ma lilo fulaꞌ, ma bua-baꞌu meulauꞌ fo fee neu Ribka. Ana o fee sudꞌi a saa mafelit neu Ribka naa na no ina na boe.
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."
Boe ma no atahori nara, endoꞌ raa fefetas. Basa de, ara sungguꞌ sia naa. Mbila fefetu na, ara fela ma, ana nafadꞌe tenu umeꞌ a nae, “Au oꞌe fo, nau naa, hai mae baliꞌ leo misiꞌ malangga ngga.”
55 But her brother and her mother said, "Let the young woman stay with us ten days or so. After that she may go."
Te Ribka naa na no ina na rae, “Hei halai baliꞌ tao saa? Hela Ribka nahani no hai fai sanahulu dei ma. Basaꞌ fo, mo e neu.”
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."
Te nataa nae, “Aduu! Afiꞌ ai au! LAMATUALAIN tulun au ena, de au undaa o mana nae dadꞌi malangga soru ngga sao na. De inaꞌ se mboꞌi hai, fo baliꞌ mii mifadꞌe malangga dei.”
57 Then they said, "We will call the young woman and ask her."
Ara rataa rae, “Taꞌo ia! Ima fo tataneꞌ a Ribka, eni hihii na, taꞌo bee?”
58 So they called Rebekah, and said to her, "Will you go with this man?" And she replied, "I will go."
Boe ma ara roꞌe Ribka, de ratane rae, “Ribka! Ia siaꞌ a nggo. Mae tungga memaꞌ mo atahori ia ra leo, do taꞌo bee?” Ana nataa nae, “Au nau.”
59 So they sent away their sister Rebekah, and her nurse, and Abraham's servant, and his men.
Boe ma, ara mboꞌi Ribka, no ate inan mana mete-seꞌu e eniꞌ a aꞌanan, fo reu ro Abraham ate nara. Ara olaꞌ fee Ribka papala-babꞌanggiꞌ rae, “Ribka! Hai hule-huleꞌ fo Lamatualain fee nggo bꞌonggi mumuhefu, fo tititi-nonosi mara dadꞌi rifo-rataꞌ. Ma hai o hule-huleꞌ fo tititi-nonosi mara rasenggiꞌ musu nara!”
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."
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.
Basa naa ma, Ribka no ate ina nara raꞌalilinuꞌ bua-baꞌu nara, de sae banda onta, fo lao ro Abraham ate nara.
62 Now Isaac had come from the way of Beer Lahai Roi, for he was living in the land of the Negev.
Lele naa, Isak leo sia rae Negeb. Ana feꞌe baliꞌ mia oe mataꞌ sia Beer Lahai Roi.
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.
Bꞌobꞌobꞌoꞌ esa, ana dea neu lao-laoꞌ haiꞌ anin. Ana botiꞌ mata na ma, nita banda onta ra rema.
64 And Rebekah lifted up her eyes, and when she saw Isaac, she dismounted from the camel.
Ribka nita Isak ma, ana onda lai-lai mia banda onta na.
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.
Natane Abraham ate na nae, “Toꞌo! Touꞌ mana laoꞌ nema naa, seka?” Ate a nataa nae, “Naeni au malangga soru ngga.” Boe ma Ribka haꞌi nala salenda na, de babata mata na.
66 And the servant told Isaac all the things that he had done.
Ara losa ma, ate a nafadꞌe basaꞌ e neu Isak.
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.
Boe ma Isak no Ribka risiꞌ inan lalaat na rala, de ruꞌa se esa sao esa. Isak sue Ribka, naa de, ana nda afiꞌ susa ina na mamaten sa ena.
