Genesis 24
1 Now, Abraham, was old, far gone in days, —and, Yahweh, had blessed Abraham, in all things.
U A elemakule o Aberahama, ua nui no hoi kona mau la, a ua hoopomaikai o Iehova ia Aberahama i na mea a pau.
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;
I aku la o Aberahama i ke kauwa kahiko o kona hale, i ka mea ia ia ka malama i kona mea a pau, E, e kau mai oe i kou lima malalo iho o ko'u uha:
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:
A na'u no e haawi aku ia oe e hoohiki ma o Iehova la, ma ke Akua o ka lani, a ke Akua o ka honua; i lawe ole ai oe i wahine na ka'u keiki na Isaaka, no na kaikamahine a ko Kanaana ka poe a'u o noho nei iwaena.
4 but unto my own land and unto my own kindred, wilt go, —So shalt thou take a wife for my son—for Isaac.
Aka, e hele aku oe i ko'u aina, a i ko'u poe hoahanau, a e lawe mai i wahine na ka'u keiki na Isaaka.
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?
I mai la ua kauwa nei ia ia, Ina paha aole e makemake ka wahine e hahai mai ia'u a hiki i keia aina: e pono anei ia'u e kai aku i kau keiki i ka aina au i hele mai nei?
6 And Abraham said unto him, —Beware that thou do not take back my son thither!
Papa aku la o Aberahama ia ia, E ao oe, mai kai aku oe i ka'u keiki malaila.
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.
Na Iehova ke Akua o ka lani, nana au i lawe, mai ka hale mai o ko'u makuakane, a mai ka aina mai o ko'u poe hoahanau, a olelo mai ia'u, a hoohiki mai no hoi ia'u, i ka i ana mai, E haawi auanei au i keia aina no kau poe mamo; nana no e hoouna aku i kona anela mamua ou, a e lawe mai oe i wahine na ka'u keiki mailaila mai.
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
A i makemake ole ka wahine e hahai mai ia oe, alaila e hala ole oe i keia hoohiki ana no'u: aka, mai kai aku oe i ka'u keiki ilaila.
9 So the servant placed his hand, under the thigh of Abraham, his lord, —and sware to him, over this thing.
A kau iho la ke kauwa i kona lima malalo iho o ka uha o Aberahama kona haku, a hoohiki iho la nona ma ia mea.
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.
Lalau aku la ua kauwa la i na kamelo o kona haku he umi, no ka mea, ma kona lima ka waiwai a pau o kona haku: ku ae la ia, a hele aku la i Mesopotamia, i ke kulanakauhale o Nahora.
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,
Hookukuli iho la ia i kona mau kamelo mawaho o ke kulanakauhale, ma ka luawai, i ke ahiahi, i ka manawa e hele mai ai na wahine e huki wai.
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.
I aku la ia, E Iehova ke Akua o kuu haku o Aberahama, ke pule aku nei au ia oe, e hoopomaikai mai oe ia'u i keia la, a e lokomaikai mai oe i kuu haku ia Aberahama,
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:
Eia au ke ku nei ma ka luawai; a e hele mai ana na kaikamahine a na kanaka o ke kulanakauhale e huki i ka wai:
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!
E ae mai oe, o ke kaikamahine a'u e olelo aku ai, Ke noi aku nei au ia oe, e kuu iho oe i kou bakeke, i inu ai au; a e i mai oia, E inu oe, a e hoohainu hoi au i na kamelo: oia no ka mea au i koho ai na kau kauwa na Isaaka: ilaila au e ike ai i kau lokomaikai ana mai i kuu haku.
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,
Aole ia i hooki iho i kana olelo ana, Aia hoi, hiki mai la o Rebeka, ka mea i hanau na Betuela, na ke keikikane a Mileka a ka wahine a Nahora, ko Aberahama kaikuaana, me kona bakeke maluna o kona poohiwi.
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.
Ua maikai ka maka o ua kaikamahine la ke nanaia'ku, he wahine puupaa, aole i ikeia e kekahi kane: iho iho la ia ma ka luawai, hoopiha iho la i kona bakeke, a hoi mai la iluna.
17 And the servant ran to meet her, —and said, I pray thee let me drink a little water out of thy pitcher.
Holo aku la ua kauwa la e halawai me ia, i aku la, E, ke noi aku nei au ia oe, e ho mai no'u i wahi wai o kou bakeke e inu.
18 And she said, Drink my lord, —And she hastened and lowered her pitcher on her hand and let him drink.
I mai la kela, E inu oe, e kuu haku a wikiwiki oia i kuu iho i kona bakeke ma kona lima, a hoohainu mai la ia ia.
19 And when she had done giving him drink, —she said For thy camels also, will I draw, until they have done drinking.
A pau kana hoohainu ana ia ia, i mai la ia, E huki hoi au i ka wai no kou mau kamelo, a pau ko lakou inu ana.
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.
Wikiwiki ae la ia, a ninini iho la i ka wai o kona bakeke iloko o ke pa, a holo hou ae la i ka luawai e huki ai, a huki mai la ia no kona poe kamelo a pau.
21 Now the man, was eagerly watching her, —keeping silence to see—whether Yahweh had prospered his way., or not.
Mahalo iho la ka naau o ua kanaka la ia ia, aole ia i ekemu aku, i mea e ike ai oia, i ka hoopomaikai ana mai paha o Iehova i kona hele ana mai, aole paha.
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;
A pau ka inu ana o na kamelo, lawe ae la ua kanaka la i kekahi apo gula no ka ihu, he hapalua o ka sekela ma ke kaupouna ana, me na kupee gula elua no kona mau lima, he umi [na sekela] ma ke kaupouna ana;
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?
Ninau aku la ia, He kaikamahine oe nawai? ke noi aku nei au ia oe, e hai mai ia'u: a he wahi kaawale no anei iloko o ka hale o kou makuakane e moe ai makou?
24 And she said unto him, Daughter of Bethuel, am, I,—[Bethuel] son of Milcah whom she bare to Nahor.
I mai la kela ia ia, Owau no ke kaikamahine a Betuela a ke keiki a Mileka, ana i hanau ai na Nahora.
25 And she said unto him, Both straw and fodder in plenty, have we, —also a place to tarry the night.
I hou mai la hoi kela ia ia, He mauu maloo no a he ai na na holoholona ia makou a nui, a he wahi no hoi e moe ai.
26 Then the man bowed his head, and bent himself down unto Yahweh;
Kulou iho la ke poo o ua kanaka la, a hoomaikai aku la ia Iehova;
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!
I aku la, E hoomaikaiia'ku o Iehova ke Akua o kuu haku o Aberahama, aole ia i hoonele mai i kuu haku i kona aloha a me kona oiaio: ma ke alanui wau, a ua alakai aku o Iehova ia'u ma ka hale o na hoahanau o kuu haku.
28 And the young woman ran, and told the household of her mother, —according to these words.
Holo aku la ua kaikamahine la, a hai aku la i ko ka hale o kona makuwahine ia mau mea.
29 Now, Rebekah, had a brother, whose name, was Laban, —so Laban ran unto the man outside, unto the fountain.
He kaikunane ko Rebeka, o Labana kona inoa; a holo mai la o Labana iwaho i ua kanaka la, ma ka luawai.
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;
A ike aku la ia i ke apo no ka ihu, a me na kupee lima ma na lima o kona kaikuwahine, a lohe aku la ia i ka olelo a kona kaikuwahine a Rebeka, i ka i ana mai, Pela i olelo mai ai ke kanaka ia'u; hele mai la ia i ua kanaka nei; aia hoi, ku iho la ia me na kamelo ma ka luawai.
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?
I mai la ia, E ka mea i alohaia e Iehova, e komo mai oe; heaha kau e ku wale nei iwaho? no ka mea, ua hoomakaukau iho nei au i ka hale, a me ka wahi no na kamelo.
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;
Komo aku la ua kanaka la iloko o ka hale: wehe ae la ia i na kamelo, a haawi aku la i ka mauu maloo a me ka mea ai na na kamelo, a me ka wai e holoi i kona mau wawae, a me na wawae o na kanaka me ia.
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!
A laweia mai ka ai nana: i aku la oia, Aole au e ai, a hai e aku au mamua i ka'u mea i hele mai nei. I mai la kela, E hai mai.
34 Then said he, —Servant of Abraham, am I.
I aku la ia, Owau no ke kauwa a Aberahama.
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,
Ua hoopomaikai nui mai o Iehova i kuu haku; a ua lilo ia i mea nui: ua haawi mai ia nana i hipa, a me na bipi, i ke kala a me ke gula, i na kauwakane a me na kauwawahine, i na kamelo a me na hoki.
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;
A hanau mai la o Sara ka wahine a kuu haku i keikikane nana i kona wa luwahine, a ua haawi aku kela i kona waiwai a pau nona.
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;
A ua haawi mai kuu haku ia'u e hoohiki, i ka i ana mai, Mai lawe oe i wahine na kuu keiki no na kaikamahine a ko Kanaana, nona keia wahi a'u e noho nei:
38 but, unto the house of my father, shalt thou go, and unto my family, —and take a wife for my son.
Aka, e hele oe i ka ohana a kuu maknakane, a i ko'u poe hoahanau, a e lawe mai oe i wahine na kuu keiki.
39 So I said unto my lord, —Peradventure the woman will not follow me.
I aku la au i kuu haku, Ina paha aole e makemake ka wahine e hahai mai ia'u.
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.
I mai la kela ia'u, Na Iehova, na ka Mea imua ona ko'u hele ana, nana no e hoouna aku i kona anela me oe, a e hoopomaikai i kou hele ana; a e lawe mai oe i wahine na kuu keiki no ko'u poe hoahanau, a no ka ohana a ko'u makuakane:
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.
Alaila, e hala ole oe i kuu hoohiki ana, ke hiki aku oe i ko'u poe hoahanau, a haawi ole mai lakou ia oe, alaila e hala ole oe i kuu hoohiki ana.
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,
A hiki mai la au i keia la i ka luawai, i aku la, E Iehova ke Akua o kuu haku o Aberahama, ina oe e hoopomaikai mai i kuu hele ana e hele nei:
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;
Eia wau, ke ku nei ma ka luawai, a i ka manawa e hele mai ai ka wahine puupaa e huki wai ai, a e i aku au ia ia, Ke noi aku nei au ia oe, e haawi mai no'u i wahi wai o kou bakeke e inu;
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.
A e olelo mai oia ia'u, E inu oe, a e huki hoi au no kou mau kamelo; oia ka wahine a Iehova i koho ai na ke keiki a ko'u haku.
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!
Aole au i hooki iho i ka olelo ana iloko o kuu naau, aia hoi, puka mai la o Rebeka, me kona bakeke maluna o kona poohiwi; iho iho la ia ma ka luawai, a huki mai la: i aku la au ia ia, Ke noi aku nei au ia oe, e haawi mai no'u e inu.
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.
Wikiwiki iho la ia, a kuu iho la i kona bakeke mailuna iho ona, i mai la, E inu oe, a e hooinu hoi au i kou mau kamelo: inu iho la no au, a hooinu aku la hoi oia i na kamelo.
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;
Ninau aku la au ia ia, i aku la, He kaikamahine oe nawai? I mai la kela, He kaikamahine na Betuela ke keiki a Nahora, na ka mea a Mileka i hanau ai nana: a lou aku la au i ke apo ma kona ihu, a me na kupee lima ma kona mau lima.
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.
Kulou iho la au i kuu poo, a hoomana aku la ia Iehova, a hoomaikai aku la ia Iehova i ke Akua o kun haku o Aberahama, nana au i alakai ma ke ala pono, i lawe au i ke kaikamahine a ka hoahanau o kuu haku i wahine na kana keiki.
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.
Ano la, a i manao lokomaikai io mai oukou i kuu haku, e hai mai ia'u: a i ole, e hai mai hoi; i huli aku ai au i ka akau paha, i ka hema paha.
50 Then answered Laban and Bethuel and said, from Yahweh, hath come forth the word, —we cannot speak unto thee ill or well.
Alaila, olelo mai la o Labana laua o Betuela, i mai la, No Iehova mai ia mea; aole e hiki ia maua ke olelo aku ia oe he hewa, aole hoi he pono.
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.
Aia hoi o Rebeka imua o kou alo, e lawe oe ia ia a e hele aku, i lilo ai ia i wahine na ke keiki a kou haku, e like me ka Iehova i olelo mai ai.
52 And it came to pass when Abraham’s servant heard their words, that he bowed himself down towards the earth unto Yahweh.
A lohe ae la ke kanwa a Aberahama i ka laua olelo, hoomana aku la ia ia Iehova, [e kulou ana] i ka honua.
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.
Lawe mai la ua kauwa la i na mea kala a me na mea gula, a me na aahu, a haawi aku la ia mau mea no Rebeka: haawi aku la hoi oia i na mea maikai na kona kaikunane a me kona makuwahine.
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!
Ai iho la lakou a inu hoi, oia a me na kanaka me ia, a moe iho la ia po. Ala ae la lakou i kakahiaka, i aku la ia, E kuu aku oukou ia'u e hele i ko'u haku.
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.
I mai la kona kaikunane laua o kona makuwahine, E noho no ke kaikamahine me makou i kekahi mau la, i umi paha: a mahope aku e hele no ia.
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!
I aku la kela ia laua, Mai keakea mai olua ia'u, no ka mea, ua hoopomaikai mai o Iehova i kuu hele ana mai; e kuu aku oukou ia'u e hele aku ai i ko'u haku.
57 Then said they, We must call the young woman and ask at her mouth.
I mai la laua, E hea aku maua i ke kaikamahine, a e ninau aku ia ia.
58 So they called Rebekah and said unto her, Wilt thou go with this man? And she said, I will go.
Hea aku la laua ia Rebeka, ninau aku la ia ia, E aku oe e hele pu me keia kanaka? I mai la kela, E hele wau.
59 So they let go Rebekah their sister, and her nurse, and Abraham’s servant and his men.
Kuu aku la laua ia Rebeka o ko laua kaikuwahine, me kona kahu, a me ke kauwa a Aberahama, a me na kanaka ona.
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!
Hoomaikai aku la laua ia Rebeka, i aku la, O oe no ko maua kaikuwahine, e lilo oe i makuwahine o na tausani miliona: e lilo hoi no kau poe mamo, ka pukapa o ka poe inaina aku ia lakou.
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.
Ku ae la o Rebeka, me kona mau wahine, holo mai la lakou maluna o na kamelo, e hahai ana i ua kanaka la: a lawe ae la ua kauwa la ia Rebeka, a hoi mai la.
62 Now, Isaac, had come in at the entrance, of Beer-lahai-roi, —for, he, was dwelling in the land of the South:
I hele mai la o Isaaka ma ke alanui o ka punawai Lahairoi: no ka mea, i noho no ia ma ka aina kukuluhema.
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.
Hele aku la o Isaaka ma ke kula e noonoo ai i ka wa ahiahi: alawa ae la kona mau maka iluna, aia hoi na kamelo e hoi mai ana.
64 And Rebekah lifted up her eyes, and saw Isaac, —so she alighted with haste from off the camel;
Nana mai la o Rebeka, a ike mai la oia ia Isaaka, lele iho la ia mai luna iho o ke kamelo.
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.
No ka mea, ua ninau aku ia i ua kauwa la, Owai ia kanaka e hele mai ana i ke kula e halawai me kakou? a ua i mai ke kauwa, O kuu haku no ia: no ia mea, lawe ae la ia i ka pale, a hoouhi iho la ia ia iho.
66 And the servant recounted to Isaac, —all the things which he had done.
A hai mai la ua kauwa la ia Isaaka i na mea a pau ana i hana'i.
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.
Alakai aku la o Isaaka ia ia maloko o ka halelewa o kona makuwahine o Sara; lawe aku la oia ia Rebeka, a lilo iho la ia i wahine nana, a aloha ae la oia ia ia. A ua hooluoluia o Isaaka no kona makuwahine.
