Genesis 24
1 And Abraham was old, [and] well stricken in age: and the LORD had blessed Abraham in all things.
Abraham teh a kumcue teh a matawng poung toe. BAWIPA ni Abraham teh hno pueng dawk yawhawi a poe.
2 And Abraham said unto his servant, the elder of his house, that ruled over all that he had, Put, I pray thee, thy hand under my thigh:
Abraham ni a san, a imthungkhu thung dawk kacue poung lah a tawn e naw pueng lathueng vah kâ ka tawn poung e koevah, pahren lahoi na kut hah ka phai rahak vah tat haw,
3 and I will make thee swear by the LORD, the God of heaven and the God of the earth, that thou shalt not take a wife for my son of the daughters of the Canaanites, among whom I dwell:
kai teh ahnimouh rahak kho ka sak ei, Kanaan tanglanaw heh ka capa hane a yu lah lat hanh.
4 but thou shalt go unto my country, and to my kindred, and take a wife for my son Isaac.
Hateiteh, ka miphunnaw koe, ka hmaunawnghanaw e im dawk cet nateh ka capa Isak hanelah a yu na paluen pouh han telah ati.
5 And the servant said unto him, Peradventure the woman will not be willing to follow me unto this land: must I needs bring thy son again unto the land from whence thou camest?
A san ni ahni koe, Napui ni hete ram dawk tho ngai hoehpawiteh, na capa heh na thonae ram dawkvah ka ceikhai han na maw, telah ati.
6 And Abraham said unto him, Beware thou that thou bring not my son thither again.
Abraham ni ahni koe, ka capa heh haw ceikhai hoeh nahanlah kâhruetcuet.
7 The LORD, the God of heaven, that took me from my father’s house, and from the land of my nativity, and that spake unto me, and that sware unto me, saying, Unto thy seed will I give this land; he shall send his angel before thee, and thou shalt take a wife for my son from thence.
Hete ram heh na ca catounnaw ka poe han telah kai koe lawk ka kam, kalvan e BAWIPA Cathut ni apa im hoi ka tâconae ram dawk hoi na kalatkung ni na hmalah kalvantami a patoun vaiteh hote hmuen dawk e ka capa hanlah a yu na paluen pouh han.
8 And if the woman be not willing to follow thee, then thou shalt be clear from this my oath; only thou shalt not bring my son thither again.
Hote napui ni kâbang ngai hoehpawiteh, kai koevah thoebonae dawk hoi nang teh na hlout han. Ka capa teh haw na cetkhai mahoeh telah atipouh.
9 And the servant put his hand under the thigh of Abraham his master, and sware to him concerning this matter.
Hottelah a san ni a bawipa e a tangka vah a kut a ta teh, hote kong dawk thoe a kâbo.
10 And the servant took ten camels, of the camels of his master, and departed; having all goodly things of his master’s in his hand: and he arose, and went to Mesopotamia, unto the city of Nahor.
A san ni a bawipa e kalauk thung dawk hoi hra touh a hrawi teh, a bawipa e hnokahawi phunkuep hah a sin teh a kamthaw. Hottelah a kamthaw teh Mesopotamia ram e Nahor kho lah a cei.
11 And he made the camels to kneel down without the city by the well of water at the time of evening, the time that women go out to draw water.
Tangmin lah napuinaw tui do hanlah thonae tueng dawkvah, longkha teng e tuikhu koe a kalauknaw a kamkawn sak.
12 And he said, O LORD, the God of my master Abraham, send me, I pray thee, good speed this day, and shew kindness unto my master Abraham.
Ahni ni, Oe BAWIPA Cathut, pahren lahoi sahnin vah, ka bawipa, Abraham koevah na lungmanae kamnuek sak nateh na kuep sak haw.
13 Behold, I stand by the fountain of water; and the daughters of the men of the city come out to draw water:
Khenhaw! tuikhu koevah ka kangdue. Khothung e a canunaw hai tui do hanlah a tho awh toe.
14 and let it come to pass, that the damsel to whom I shall say, Let down thy pitcher, I pray thee, that I may drink; and she shall say, Drink, and I will give thy camels drink also: let the same be she that thou hast appointed for thy servant Isaac; and thereby shall I know that thou hast shewed kindness unto my master.
Hettelah awm naseh, tangla koe pahren lahoi tui ka nei hanlah tuium hah patue sak haw, ka ti navah, ahni ni net leih, na kalauknaw a nei hanlah ka poe han telah ka tet e teh na san Isak hanlah na hmoun pouh e lah awm naseh. Hottelahoi ka bawipa koe lungmanae na kamnue sak tie hah ka panue thai han telah ati.
15 And it came to pass, before he had done speaking, that, behold, Rebekah came out, who was born to Bethuel the son of Milcah, the wife of Nahor, Abraham’s brother, with her pitcher upon her shoulder.
Hahoi, lawk koung a dei hoehnahlan vah, Abraham e a nawngha Nahor e a yu Milkah capa Bethuel canu Rebekah teh a loung dawk tuium thueng hoi a tho.
16 And the damsel was very fair to look upon, a virgin, neither had any man known her: and she went down to the fountain, and filled her pitcher, and came up.
Tangla teh a meihawipoung. Thoundoun ni a ikhai hoeh rae tanglakacuem lah ao. Tuikhu koe a cathuk teh tuium tui yikkawi a do hnukkhu, a takhang.
17 And the servant ran to meet her, and said, Give me to drink, I pray thee, a little water of thy pitcher.
Sanpa ni ahni kâhmo hanlah a yawng teh, pahren lahoi na tuium dawk e tui youn touh na pânei haw telah atipouh.
18 And she said, Drink, my lord: and she hasted, and let down her pitcher upon her hand, and gave him drink.
Napui ni net leih ka bawipa telah atipouh. Karang poung lah a tuium teh a loung dawk hoi a patue teh tui a pânei.
19 And when she had done giving him drink, she said, I will draw for thy camels also, until they have done drinking.
Tui a pânei hnukkhu, na kalauknaw hanlah hai tui a boum awh hoehroukrak boutbout ka do han telah atipouh.
20 And she hasted, and emptied her pitcher into the trough, and ran again unto the well to draw, and drew for all his camels.
Karang poung lah tui teh dokko dawk a hlun teh tui bout do hanlah tuikhu koe lah a cathuk teh kalauknaw pueng hanelah tui a do pouh.
21 And the man looked stedfastly on her; holding his peace, to know whether the LORD had made his journey prosperous or not.
Tongpa ni lawkkamuem hoi a khet teh, BAWIPA ni kahlawng ka ceinae a lam a kâko sak vaiteh akuep sak hoi kakuep sak hoeh hane panue hane a ngai dawk lawkkamuem lah ao.
22 And it came to pass, as the camels had done drinking, that the man took a golden ring of half a shekel weight, and two bracelets for her hands of ten shekels weight of gold;
Kalauknaw ni tui koung a nei awh hnukkhu vah, hnongpacap hoi sui kuthrawt sekel hra touh ka ri e hah a poe.
23 and said, Whose daughter art thou? tell me, I pray thee. Is there room in thy father’s house for us to lodge in?
Ahni koevah, nang apie canu maw. Pahren lahoi na dei pouh haw. na Pa im dawk ka roe nahanlah rakhan ao han na ou, telah ati.
24 And she said unto him, I am the daughter of Bethuel the son of Milcah, which she bare unto Nahor.
Napui ni ahni koevah, Milkah ni Nahor hanlah a khe pouh e Bethuel canu doeh telah atipouh.
25 She said moreover unto him, We have both straw and provender enough, and room to lodge in.
Napui ni hothloilah, caphon hoi saring e rawca moi ka tawn awh. Roenae rakhan haiyah ka tawn awh telah ati.
26 And the man bowed his head, and worshipped the LORD.
Hat toteh, a san ni a lûsaling teh BAWIPA hah a bawk.
27 And he said, Blessed be the LORD, the God of my master Abraham, who hath not forsaken his mercy and his truth toward my master: as for me, the LORD hath led me in the way to the house of my master’s brethren.
Ahni ni, ka bawipa lathueng vah a lungmanae hoi hawinae ka pout thai hoeh e, ka bawipa Abraham e BAWIPA Cathut teh pholen lah awm naseh. Kai patenghai BAWIPA ni ka bawipa e a hmaunawnghanaw e im dawk na ceikhai tangngak telah ati.
28 And the damsel ran, and told her mother’s house according to these words.
Tangla ni a yawng teh hno kaawmnaw hah a manu imthungkhu hah a dei pouh.
29 And Rebekah had a brother, and his name was Laban: and Laban ran out unto the man, unto the fountain.
Rebekah ni a thangroi a tawn. Ahnie min teh Laban doeh. Laban a tâco teh tuikhu koelah hote tongpa koevah a yawng.
30 And it came to pass, when he saw the ring, and the bracelets upon his sister’s hands, and when he heard the words of Rebekah his sister, saying, Thus spake the man unto me; that he came unto the man; and, behold, he stood by the camels at the fountain.
Hahoi, hnongpacap hoi a tawncanu e a kut dawk e a buet e a hmu nah, tongpa ni hottelah na dei pouh telah a tawncanu ni a dei e a thai toteh, tongpa koevah a cei. Ahni teh tuikhu koe e kalauknaw rahak vah kangdout e hah a hmu.
31 And he said, Come in, thou blessed of the LORD; wherefore standest thou without? for I have prepared the house, and room for the camels.
Laban ni, BAWIPA ni yawhawi a poe e tho nateh, kaie im dawk luenh. Bangkongmaw alawilah na kangdue Bangkongtetpawiteh, im hoi kalauknaw hanlah hmuen teh koung ka rakueng toe telah atipouh.
32 And the man came into the house, and he ungirded the camels; and he gave straw and provender for the camels, and water to wash his feet and the men’s feet that were with him.
Tongpa ni imthung a kâen teh Laban ni kalauk van e hnonaw a patue pouh. Hahoi, kalauk hanlah caphon hoi rawca hah a poe teh, ama hoi a huinaw hanelah khok pâsu nahanlah tui a poe.
33 And there was set meat before him to eat: but he said, I will not eat, until I have told mine errand. And he said, Speak on.
Ca hane rawca a hmalah a pâtoum pouh. Hateiteh, ahni ni, ka tho ngainae ka dei hoehroukrak ka cat mahoeh telah atipouh. Ahnimouh ni dei yawkaw telah atipouh.
34 And he said, I am Abraham’s servant.
Ahni ni kai teh Abraham e a san doeh.
35 And the LORD hath blessed my master greatly; and he is become great: and he hath given him flocks and herds, and silver and gold, and menservants and maidservants, and camels and asses.
BAWIPA ni ka bawipa teh yawhawi a poe dawk moi a tawnta. BAWIPA ni ahni koevah tunaw, maitonaw, tangka hoi sui, san napui tongpa, kalauknaw, lanaw hah a poe.
36 And Sarah my master’s wife bare a son to my master when she was old: and unto him hath he given all that he hath.
Ka bawipa e a yu Sarah ni a matawng hnukkhu, capa buet touh a khe pouh teh a tawn e naw pueng teh ahni koevah a poe.
37 And my master made me swear, saying, Thou shalt not take a wife for my son of the daughters of the Canaanites, in whose land I dwell:
Hahoi, ka bawipa ni ka onae Kanaan tanglanaw hah ka capa hanelah a yu lah na paluen pouh mahoeh.
38 but thou shalt go unto my father’s house, and to my kindred, and take a wife for my son.
Ka im vah, ka hmaunawnghanaw koe cet nateh ka capa hanelah a yu paluen pouh telah lawk na kam sak.
39 And I said unto my master, Peradventure the woman will not follow me.
Ka bawipa koe napui ni kâbang ngai laipalah ao thai telah ka ti pouh.
40 And he said unto me, The LORD, before whom I walk, will send his angel with thee, and prosper thy way; and thou shalt take a wife for my son of my kindred, and of my father’s house:
Ahni ni kai koevah, a hmalah ouk ka onae BAWIPA ni a kalvantami nang koevah a patoun vaiteh, na ceinae koe a lamcawn sak han. Hottelah ka hmaunawnghanaw hoi apa imthungkhunaw koehoi ka capa hanlah a yu na paluen pouh.
41 then shalt thou be clear from my oath, when thou comest to my kindred; and if they give her not to thee, thou shalt be clear from my oath.
Ka hmaunawnghanaw koe na pha nah napui na poe ngai hoeh boipawiteh, hete lawkkamnae dawk hoi na hlout han telah ati.
42 And I came this day unto the fountain, and said, O LORD, the God of my master Abraham, if now thou do prosper my way which I go:
Sahnin vah tuikhu koe ka pha teh, Oe, ka bawipa Abraham e BAWIPA Cathut, ka ceinae koe a lam na cawn sak han pawiteh,
43 behold, I stand by the fountain of water; and let it come to pass, that the maiden which cometh forth to draw, to whom I shall say, Give me, I pray thee, a little water of thy pitcher to drink;
Tuikhu koevah ka kangdue teh tui do hanlah ka tho e tanglakacuem apipatet koe haiyah, pahren lahoi tuium dawk e tui youn touh na pânei haw telah ka ti navah,
44 and she shall say to me, Both drink thou, and I will also draw for thy camels: let the same be the woman whom the LORD hath appointed for my master’s son.
Napui ni kai koevah, net haw. Na kalauknaw hanlah tui ka do han telah a ka tet e tami teh, ka bawipa e a capa hanlah BAWIPA ni a hmoun e lah awm naseh telah ka ti.
45 And before I had done speaking in mine heart, behold, Rebekah came forth with her pitcher on her shoulder; and she went down unto the fountain, and drew: and I said unto her, Let me drink, I pray thee.
Khenhaw! hottelah, ka lungthin hoi koung ka dei hoehnahlan vah, Rebekah teh tuium hoi a tho. Tuikhu koe a cathuk teh tui a do. Hahoi, ahni koevah, pahren lahoi tui na net sak haw telah ka ti.
46 And she made haste, and let down her pitcher from her shoulder, and said, Drink, and I will give thy camels drink also: so I drank, and she made the camels drink also.
Ahni ni a loung dawk e tuium hah a patue teh tui net leih. Na kalauknaw hai tui pânei leih telah ati. Hatdawkvah, tui ka nei teh, kalauknaw tui a nei han haiyah a poe.
47 And I asked her, and said, Whose daughter art thou? And she said, The daughter of Bethuel, Nahor’s son, whom Milcah bare unto him: and I put the ring upon her nose, and the bracelets upon her hands.
Kai ni nang apie canu maw telah ka pacei Ahni ni, Milkah ni a khe e Nahor e capa Bethuel e canu doeh telah ati. Hatdawkvah, a hnawng dawk hnongpacap ka bang pouh teh a kut dawk hai laikaw ka buet sak.
48 And I bowed my head, and worshipped the LORD, and blessed the LORD, the God of my master Abraham, which had led me in the right way to take my master’s brother’s daughter for his son.
Ka lûsaling laihoi BAWIPA hah ka bawk teh, ka bawipa Abraham e BAWIPA Cathut, ka bawipa e a nawngha e canu, a capa hane a yu paluen pouh hane lamkatang dawk na kahrawikung hah ka pholen.
49 And now if ye will deal kindly and truly with my master, tell me: and if not, tell me; that I may turn to the right hand, or to the left.
Atuvah ka bawipa lathueng vah lungmanae hoi lawkkatang na kamnue sak hanelah awm pawiteh, na dei pouh haw. Hottelah hoeh nakunghai, kai koe vah na dei pouh awh haw. Hat to doeh, avoilah hai, aranglah hai ka kamlang thai tih telah ati.
50 Then Laban and Bethuel answered and said, The thing proceedeth from the LORD: we cannot speak unto thee bad or good.
Laban hoi Bethuel ni a pathung teh hete hno heh BAWIPA koehoi ka tâcawt e doeh. Ahawi thoseh, a thoe thoseh ka dei thai a hoeh.
51 Behold, Rebekah is before thee, take her, and go, and let her be thy master’s son’s wife, as the LORD hath spoken.
Khenhaw! Rebekah teh na hmaitung doeh ao. Hrawi nateh cetkhaih. BAWIPA ni a dei tangcoung e patetlah na bawipa e a capa e a yu lah awm naseh, telah atipouh.
52 And it came to pass, that, when Abraham’s servant heard their words, he bowed himself down to the earth unto the LORD.
Hahoi, Abraham e a sanpa ni ahnimae lawk a thai navah, talai a tabo teh BAWIPA hah a bawk.
53 And the servant brought forth jewels of silver, and jewels of gold, and raiment, and gave them to Rebekah: he gave also to her brother and to her mother precious things.
Hatdawkvah, Abraham e a sanpa ni kamthoupnae suingun hoi hnicu a rasa teh Rebekah hah a poe. A thangroi hoi a manu hai aphu kaawm e hno hah a poe.
54 And they did eat and drink, he and the men that were with him, and tarried all night; and they rose up in the morning, and he said, Send me away unto my master.
Ahni hoi a huinaw teh a canei awh teh, hote tangmin teh a roe awh. Amom a thaw teh ka bawipa koe na cetsak awh, telah ati.
55 And her brother and her mother said, Let the damsel abide with us [a few] days, at the least ten; after that she shall go.
Hateiteh, a thangroi hoi a manu ni, napuica teh hnin dongdeng, hnin hra touh thung teh kaimouh koe awm sak ei, hahoi ka ceisak han telah atipouh awh.
56 And he said unto them, Hinder me not, seeing the LORD hath prospered my way; send me away that I may go to my master.
Ahni ni ahnimouh koevah, na haw awh hanh leih. BAWIPA ni ka ceinae dawk a lamcawn sak e patetlah ka bawipa koevah ka ban thai nahanlah na cetsak awh.
57 And they said, We will call the damsel, and inquire at her mouth.
Ahnimouh ni, napuica kaw awh vaiteh, amae pahni ring awh ei sei telah ati awh.
58 And they called Rebekah, and said unto her, Wilt thou go with this man? And she said, I will go.
Rebekah hah a kaw awh teh, hete tongpa koe na cei han maw telah a pacei awh. Napui ni ka cei han telah ati.
59 And they sent away Rebekah their sister, and her nurse, and Abraham’s servant, and his men.
Hatdawkvah, a tawncanu Rebekah hoi kaawmkhai e, Abraham e a san hoi a hnukkâbang teh a ceisak awh.
60 And they blessed Rebekah, and said unto her, Our sister, be thou [the mother] of thousands of ten thousands, and let thy seed possess the gate of those which hate them.
Hahoi ahnimouh ni Rebekah, ka tawncanu, nang teh tami a thongsang e manu lah na awm naseh, Na ca catounnaw ni a tarannaw e longkhanaw hah uk awh naseh telah yawhawi a poe awh.
61 And Rebekah arose, and her damsels, and they rode upon the camels, and followed the man: and the servant took Rebekah, and went his way.
Rebekah ni a tho teh a sannunaw hoi kalauk van a kâcui teh tongpa hnuk a kâbang. Hahoi, Abraham e a san ni Rebekah hah a hrawi.
62 And Isaac came from the way of Beer-lahai-roi; for he dwelt in the land of the South.
Isak teh Beerlahairoi koe lahoi a tho. Bangkongtetpawiteh, akalah kaawm e doeh.
63 And Isaac went out to meditate in the field at the eventide: and he lifted up his eyes, and saw, and, behold, there were camels coming.
Tangminlasa vah Isak teh khopouk hanlah law lah a cei teh radoung teh a khet nah kalauk a tho e hah a hmu.
64 And Rebekah lifted up her eyes, and when she saw Isaac, she lighted off the camel.
Rebekah ni a khet teh Isak a hmu toteh, kalauk van hoi a kum.
65 And she said unto the servant, What man is this that walketh in the field to meet us? And the servant said, It is my master: and she took her veil, and covered herself.
Bangkongtetpawiteh, a san koevah, law dawkvah maimouh dawn hanlah ka tho e tami teh apimaw, telah yo a pacei toe. A san ni ka bawipa doeh telah atipouh. Hatdawkvah, minhmai ramuknae hni a la teh a minhmai hah a ramuk.
66 And the servant told Isaac all the things that he had done.
A san ni a sak e naw pueng Isak koevah a dei pouh.
67 And Isaac brought her into his mother Sarah’s tent, and took Rebekah, and she became his wife; and he loved her: and Isaac was comforted after his mother’s death.
Isak ni Rebekah teh a manu Sarah e lukkareiim dawk a kâenkhai. A yu lah a coung teh a lungpataw. Hatdawkvah, a manu a due hnukkhu vah, Isak teh a lungmawng.
