Genesis 24
1 Now, Abraham, was old, far gone in days, —and, Yahweh, 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 So Abraham said unto his servant, elder of his house, ruler of all that he had, —Place, 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 that I may put thee on oath, by Yahweh God of the heavens and God of the earth—That thou wilt not take a wife for my son, from among the daughters of the Canaanites in the midst of whom, I, am dwelling:
kai teh ahnimouh rahak kho ka sak ei, Kanaan tanglanaw heh ka capa hane a yu lah lat hanh.
4 but unto my own land and unto my own kindred, wilt go, —So shalt thou take a wife for my son—for 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 may not be willing to follow me into this land, —May I take back thy son, into 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 that thou do not take back my son thither!
Abraham ni ahni koe, ka capa heh haw ceikhai hoeh nahanlah kâhruetcuet.
7 Yahweh, God of the heavens, and God of the earth, who took me out of the house of my father, and out of the land of my kindred, and, who spake to me, and who sware to me, saying, To thy seed, will I give this land, he, will send his messenger before thee, so shalt thou 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 But if unwilling be the woman to follow thee, then shalt thou be clear from this mine oath, —Only my son, shalt thou not take back thither
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 So the servant placed his hand, under the thigh of Abraham, his lord, —and sware to him, over this thing.
Hottelah a san ni a bawipa e a tangka vah a kut a ta teh, hote kong dawk thoe a kâbo.
10 Then took the servant ten camels, from among the camels of his lord, and went his way, —all the goods of his master being in his hand, —so be mounted, and went his way unto 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 kneel down outside the city, against the well of water, —at the time of evening, at the time of the coming forth of the women that drew water,
Tangmin lah napuinaw tui do hanlah thonae tueng dawkvah, longkha teng e tuikhu koe a kalauknaw a kamkawn sak.
12 Then he said, O Yahweh, God of my lord Abraham! I pray thee cause it to fall out before me today, that thou deal in lovingkindness with my lord Abraham.
Ahni ni, Oe BAWIPA Cathut, pahren lahoi sahnin vah, ka bawipa, Abraham koevah na lungmanae kamnuek sak nateh na kuep sak haw.
13 Here am, I, stationed by the fountain of water, —and, the daughters of the men of the city, are coming forth to draw water:
Khenhaw! tuikhu koevah ka kangdue. Khothung e a canunaw hai tui do hanlah a tho awh toe.
14 so it shall come to pass that the young woman unto whom I shall say. Let down pray. thy pitcher that I may drink, and she shall say, Drink, and to thy camels also, will I give to drink, that, her! hast thou appointed for thy servant for Isaac, And, hereby, shall I get to know, that thou hast dealt in lovingkindness with my lord!
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, ere yet, he, had done speaking, that lo! Rebekah, was coming forth who had been born to Bethuel son of Milcah, wife of Nahor, brother of Abraham, —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 Now the young woman! was of very pleasing appearance, a virgin whom, no man, had known, —and she went down unto 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, I pray thee let me drink a little water out 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 hastened and lowered her pitcher on her hand and let 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 For thy camels also, will I draw, 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 So she hastened and emptied her pitcher into the drinking-trough, and ran again unto the well, to draw, —and she 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 Now the man, was eagerly watching her, —keeping silence to see—whether Yahweh had prospered his way., 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 when the camels had done drinking, that the man took a ring of gold, half a shekel its weight, —and two bracelets for her hands, ten of gold their weight;
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? I pray thee, tell me. Is there in the house of thy father a place for us to tarry the night?
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, Daughter of Bethuel, am, I,—[Bethuel] son of Milcah whom she bare to Nahor.
Napui ni ahni koevah, Milkah ni Nahor hanlah a khe pouh e Bethuel canu doeh telah atipouh.
25 And she said unto him, Both straw and fodder in plenty, have we, —also a place to tarry the night.
Napui ni hothloilah, caphon hoi saring e rawca moi ka tawn awh. Roenae rakhan haiyah ka tawn awh telah ati.
26 Then the man bowed his head, and bent himself down unto Yahweh;
Hat toteh, a san ni a lûsaling teh BAWIPA hah a bawk.
27 and said, Blessed be Yahweh. God of my lord Abraham, who hath not withdrawn his lovingkindness and his faithfulness, from my lord, —I—being in the way, Yahweh led me unto the house of the brethren of my lord!
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 young woman ran, and told the household of her mother, —according to these words.
Tangla ni a yawng teh hno kaawmnaw hah a manu imthungkhu hah a dei pouh.
29 Now, Rebekah, had a brother, whose name, was Laban, —so Laban ran unto the man outside, 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 on the hands of his sister, and when he heard the words of Rebekah his sister saying, Thus, did the man speak unto me, that he came unto the man, and lo! he was standing by the camels near 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 Yahweh, —Wherefore shouldst thou stand outside, when I have made ready the house and a place 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 So the man came in towards the house, and ungirded the camels, —and there was given him straw and fodder for the camels, and water for bathing his own feet and the feet of the men who 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 [food] was set before him to eat, But he said, I cannot eat, until I have spoken my words. And he said—Speak!
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 Then said he, —Servant of Abraham, am I.
Ahni ni kai teh Abraham e a san doeh.
35 Now, Yahweh, having blessed my lord exceedingly, and made him great, —and given him flocks and herds and silver and gold, and men-servants and maid-servants, 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 then did Sarah wife of my lord, bear a son to my lord, after she had become old, —so he gave to him all that he had;
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 lord put me on oath saying, —Thou shalt not take a wife for my son, of the daughters of the Canaanites in whose land, I, am dwelling;
Hahoi, ka bawipa ni ka onae Kanaan tanglanaw hah ka capa hanelah a yu lah na paluen pouh mahoeh.
38 but, unto the house of my father, shalt thou go, and unto my family, —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 So I said unto my lord, —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, —Yahweh, before whom I have walked to and fro, will send his messenger with thee, so shall he prosper thy way, and thou shalt take a wife for my son out of my kindred and out of the house of my father.
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 clear thyself from mine oath, for thou shalt go in unto my kindred, —and, if they will not grant her unto thee, then shalt thou be clear from mine oath.
Ka hmaunawnghanaw koe na pha nah napui na poe ngai hoeh boipawiteh, hete lawkkamnae dawk hoi na hlout han telah ati.
42 So I came in to-day, unto the fountain, —and I said O Yahweh God of my lord Abraham! if, I pray thee thou art prospering my way whereon I am going,
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 here, am I stationed by the fountain of water, —so then it shall come to pass that, the maiden that is coming forth to draw, and I shall say unto her Let me drink. I pray thee a little water out of thy pitcher;
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 unto me Both, thou, drink, and for thy camels also, will I draw, the same, shall be the woman whom Yahweh hath appointed for the son of my lord.
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 Ere yet, I, could make an end of speaking unto mine own heart, lo! then Rebekah, coming forth, with her pitcher on her shoulder, and she went down to 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 So she hastened and lowered her pitcher from off her, and said. Drink! and to thy camels also, will I give to drink, —So I drank and the camels also, she let drink.
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 Then I asked her, and said, Whose daughter art thou? And she said Daughter of Bethuel son of Nahor, whom, Milcah, bare to him, —Then put I 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 bowed my head and bent myself down unto Yahweh, —and I blessed Yahweh God of my lord Abraham, who had led me in a way of faithfulness, to take the daughter of the brother of my lord 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 Now, therefore, if ye are dealing in lovingkindness and faithfulness with my lord, tell me, —and, if not, tell me, that I may turn unto the right hand or unto 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 answered Laban and Bethuel and said, from Yahweh, hath come forth the word, —we cannot speak unto thee ill or well.
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 Lo! Rebekah, is before thee, Take her and go thy way, —And let her become wife unto the son of thy lord, as Yahweh 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 when Abraham’s servant heard their words, that he bowed himself down towards the earth unto Yahweh.
Hahoi, Abraham e a sanpa ni ahnimae lawk a thai navah, talai a tabo teh BAWIPA hah a bawk.
53 Then the servant brought forth jewels of silver and jewels of gold and raiment, and gave unto Rebekah, —and precious things, gave he to her brother and to her mother.
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 who were with him, and they tarried the night, —and when they arose in the morning, he said Let me go unto my lord!
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 Then said her brother and her mother, Let the young woman remain with us some days or rather 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, Do not hinder me, when, Yahweh, hath prospered my journey, —Let me go, that I may take my journey unto my lord!
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 Then said they, We must call the young woman and ask at her mouth.
Ahnimouh ni, napuica kaw awh vaiteh, amae pahni ring awh ei sei telah ati awh.
58 So 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 So they let go 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 to her, Our sister! become thou, thousands of ten thousands, —And let thy seed take possession of the gate of them that 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 Then mounted Rebekah and her young woman and they rode upon the camels, and followed the man, —so 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 Now, Isaac, had come in at the entrance, of Beer-lahai-roi, —for, he, was dwelling in the land of the South:
Isak teh Beerlahairoi koe lahoi a tho. Bangkongtetpawiteh, akalah kaawm e doeh.
63 and Isaac came forth to meditate in the field at the approach of evening, —so he lifted up his eyes and looked, and lo! camels, coming in.
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 saw Isaac, —so she alighted with haste from off the camel;
Rebekah ni a khet teh Isak a hmu toteh, kalauk van hoi a kum.
65 and said unto the servant, Who is this man that is walking in the field to meet us? And the servant said, That, is my lord. So she took the 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 recounted to Isaac, —all the things which he had done.
A san ni a sak e naw pueng Isak koevah a dei pouh.
67 And Isaac brought her into the tent of Sarah his mother; thus he took Rebekah and she became his wife and he loved her, —and Isaac consoled himself, for the loss of his mother.
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.
