Genesis 24
1 And Abraham he was old he had come in days and Yahweh he had blessed Abraham in everything.
Abraham sudah tua sekali, dan ia diberkati TUHAN dalam segala hal.
2 And he said Abraham to servant his old of household his who was ruling over all that [belonged] to him put please hand your under thigh my.
Pada suatu hari berkatalah Abraham kepada hambanya yang paling tua, yang mengurus segala harta bendanya, "Letakkanlah tanganmu di antara pangkal pahaku.
3 So I may make swear you by Yahweh [the] God of the heavens and [the] God of the earth that not you will take a wife for son my from [the] daughters of the Canaanite[s] whom I [am] dwelling in midst its.
Bersumpahlah demi TUHAN, Allah yang menguasai langit dan bumi, bahwa engkau tidak akan mencari istri bagi Ishak anakku dari antara orang-orang di tanah Kanaan ini.
4 For to land my and to kindred my you will go and you will take a wife for son my for Isaac.
Engkau harus kembali ke negeri kelahiranku untuk mencari istri baginya dari antara sanak saudaraku."
5 And he said to him the servant perhaps not she will be willing the woman to go after me to the land this ¿ really will I take back son your to the land where you came out from there.
Lalu bertanyalah hamba itu kepadanya, "Bagaimana jika gadis itu tidak mau meninggalkan rumahnya dan tak mau mengikuti saya ke negeri ini? Haruskah saya membawa anak Tuan itu ke negeri asal Tuan?"
6 And he said to him Abraham take heed to yourself lest you should take back son my there towards.
Tetapi Abraham menjawab, "Awas! Jangan sekali-kali kaubawa anakku itu ke sana!
7 Yahweh - [the] God of the heavens who he took me from [the] household of father my and from [the] land of kindred my and who he spoke to me and who he swore an oath to me saying to offspring your I will give the land this he he will send angel his before you and you will take a wife for son my from there.
TUHAN, Allah yang menguasai langit, telah membawa aku dari rumah ayahku dan dari negeri sanak saudaraku, dan Ia telah bersumpah kepadaku bahwa Ia akan memberikan negeri ini kepada keturunanku. Dia juga akan mengutus malaikat-Nya untuk menolongmu, supaya engkau dapat menemukan seorang istri dari sana untuk anakku.
8 And if not she will be willing the woman to go after you and you will be free from oath my this only son my not you must take back there towards.
Tetapi jika gadis itu tidak mau ikut dengan engkau, maka engkau bebas dari sumpah ini. Bagaimanapun juga, jangan kaubawa anakku itu ke sana."
9 And he put the servant hand his under [the] thigh of Abraham master his and he swore an oath to him on the matter this.
Kemudian hamba itu meletakkan tangannya di antara pangkal paha Abraham tuannya, dan bersumpah akan melakukan apa yang diminta oleh Abraham itu.
10 And he took the servant ten camels from [the] camels of master his and he went and every good thing of master his [was] in hand his and he arose and he went to Aram Naharaim to [the] city of Nahor.
Hamba itu mengambil sepuluh ekor unta serta bermacam-macam barang berharga milik tuannya dan berangkat ke kota tempat tinggal Nahor semasa hidupnya; letaknya di sebelah utara Mesopotamia.
11 And he made kneel the camels from [the] outside of the city to [the] well of the water to [the] time of evening to [the] time of [the] going out of the [women who] draw water.
Setelah ia tiba di sana, dihentikannya unta-unta itu supaya beristirahat dekat sebuah sumur di luar kota. Hari sudah sore, dan itulah waktunya para wanita datang ke sumur untuk menimba air.
12 And he said - O Yahweh [the] God of master my Abraham make happen please before me this day and do covenant loyalty with master my Abraham.
Lalu hamba itu berdoa, "TUHAN, Allah tuan saya Abraham, tolonglah, supaya tugas saya berhasil pada hari ini; berbaik hatilah kepada tuan saya Abraham.
13 Here! I [am] standing at [the] spring of the water and [the] daughters of [the] people of the city [are] coming out to draw water.
Lihatlah, saya berdiri di dekat sumur ini. Sebentar lagi gadis-gadis dari kota akan datang menimba air.
14 And it will be the young woman whom I will say to her bend down please jar your so I may drink and she will say drink and also camels your I will give a drink to her you have appointed for servant your for Isaac and by it I will know that you have done covenant loyalty with master my.
Saya akan berkata kepada salah seorang dari mereka, 'Tolong turunkan buyungmu dan berilah saya minum.' Jika ia menjawab, 'Minumlah, dan unta-unta Bapak juga akan saya beri minum!' dialah yang TUHAN pilih untuk hambamu Ishak. Jika hal itu terjadi, saya akan tahu bahwa TUHAN telah berbaik hati kepada tuan saya Abraham."
15 And it was he not yet he had finished to speak and there! Rebekah [was] coming out who she had been born to Bethuel [the] son of Milcah [the] wife of Nahor [the] brother of Abraham and jar her [was] on shoulder her.
Ketika ia sedang berdoa itu, Ribka, seorang gadis yang sangat cantik dan masih perawan, tiba di sumur itu membawa buyung di atas bahunya. Ia anak Betuel, dan orang tua Betuel adalah Nahor dan Milka; Nahor itu abang Abraham. Ribka menuju ke sumur itu dan mengisi buyungnya, lalu berjalan kembali.
16 And the young woman [was] good of appearance exceedingly a virgin and a man not he had known her and she went down the spring towards and she filled jar her and she came up.
17 And he ran the servant to meet her and he said give to drink me please a little of water from jar your.
Hamba Abraham lari mendekatinya dan berkata, "Tolong, Nak, berilah saya minum dari buyungmu itu."
18 And she said drink O lord my and she hurried and she put down jar her on hand her and she gave a drink him.
Gadis itu menjawab, "Minumlah, Pak," lalu dengan cepat diturunkannya buyungnya dari bahunya, dan sambil memegang buyung itu diberinya hamba itu minum.
19 And she finished to give a drink him and she said also for camels your I will draw water until they have finished to drink.
Setelah hamba itu selesai minum; berkatalah gadis itu, "Saya akan menimba air untuk unta-unta Bapak juga, supaya semua binatang itu dapat minum sepuasnya."
20 And she hurried and she emptied jar her into the watering channel and she ran again to the well to draw water and she drew water for all camels his.
Kemudian dengan cepat air di dalam buyung itu dituangkannya ke dalam tempat minum unta, lalu berlarilah ia kembali ke sumur untuk menimba air lebih banyak lagi sampai semua binatang itu puas minum.
21 And the man [was] gazing to her being silent to know ¿ had he made successful Yahweh journey his or? not.
Sementara itu hamba Abraham terus memperhatikannya tanpa berkata sepatah pun. Ia ingin tahu apakah TUHAN membuat ia berhasil melakukan tugasnya atau tidak.
22 And it was just as they had finished the camels to drink and he took the man a ring of gold [was] a beka weight its and two bracelets on hands her [was] ten of gold weight their.
Setelah semua unta minum sepuas-puasnya, hamba Abraham mengambil perhiasan emas yang berharga, lalu mengenakannya pada hidung gadis itu. Pada lengannya diberi sepasang gelang emas.
23 And he said daughter of whom? [are] you tell please to me ¿ [is] there [the] house of father your room for us to stay [the] night.
Lalu hamba itu berkata, "Coba katakan siapa ayahmu. Adakah tempat bermalam di rumahnya untuk saya dan orang-orangku?"
24 And she said to him [am] [the] daughter of Bethuel I [the] son of Milcah whom she bore to Nahor.
"Ayah saya Betuel, anak Nahor dan Milka," jawab gadis itu.
25 And she said to him both straw as well as fodder much which [is] with us also room to stay [the] night.
"Di rumah kami ada tempat bermalam untuk Bapak dan juga banyak jerami dan makanan ternak."
26 And he bowed low the man and he bowed down to Yahweh.
Maka sujudlah hamba itu menyembah TUHAN.
27 And he said [be] blessed Yahweh [the] God of master my Abraham who not he has left covenant loyalty his and faithfulness his from with master my I on the journey he has led me Yahweh [the] house of [the] relatives of master my.
Katanya, "Pujilah TUHAN, Allah tuan saya Abraham. TUHAN ternyata setia dan berbaik hati kepada tuan saya Abraham. Ia memimpin saya langsung kepada sanak saudaranya."
28 And she ran the young woman and she told to [the] household of mother her according to the things these.
Kemudian gadis itu lari ke rumah ibunya dan menceritakan segala kejadian itu.
29 And [belonged] to Rebekah a brother and name his [was] Laban and he ran Laban to the man the outside towards to the spring.
Ribka mempunyai seorang abang yang bernama Laban. Ia mendengar cerita adiknya tentang apa yang dikatakan hamba itu. Ia melihat juga perhiasan di hidung dan gelang pada lengan adiknya itu. Maka berlarilah Laban keluar rumah untuk menemui hamba Abraham itu yang masih berdiri dengan unta-untanya di dekat sumur.
30 And it was - when saw the ring and the bracelets on [the] hands of sister his and just as heard he [the] words of Rebekah sister his saying thus he spoke to me the man and he went to the man and there! [he was] standing with the camels at the spring.
31 And he said come O [one] blessed of Yahweh why? are you standing on the outside and I I have made clear the house and a place for the camels.
Lalu kata Laban, "Bapak orang yang diberkati TUHAN! Jangan tinggal di luar sini. Mari ke rumah kami. Kami telah menyediakan kamar untuk Bapak dan juga tempat bagi unta-unta Bapak."
32 And he went the man the house towards and he unharnessed the camels and he gave straw and fodder to the camels and water to wash feet his and [the] feet of the men who [were] with him.
Lalu ikutlah hamba itu dan masuk ke dalam rumah. Laban menurunkan beban unta-unta, dan memberi jerami dan makanan kepada binatang-binatang itu. Setelah itu dibawanya air pembasuh kaki untuk hamba Abraham dan orang-orangnya.
33 (And it was put *Q(K)*) before him to eat and he said not I will eat until I have spoken words my and he said speak.
Ketika makanan dihidangkan, hamba itu berkata, "Saya tidak akan makan sebelum menyampaikan pesan yang saya bawa." Laban berkata, "Silakan bicara."
34 And he said [am] [the] servant of Abraham I.
Lalu mulailah hamba Abraham berbicara, katanya, "Saya ini hamba Abraham.
35 And Yahweh he has blessed master my exceedingly and he has become great and he has given to him sheep and cattle and silver and gold and [male] servants and female servants and camels and donkeys.
TUHAN sangat memberkati tuan saya itu dan menjadikan dia kaya raya. TUHAN telah memberikan kepadanya kawanan domba, kambing, sapi, unta, keledai, dan juga perak, emas, serta hamba laki-laki dan perempuan.
36 And she has borne Sarah [the] wife of master my a son to master my after old age her and he has given to him all that [belongs] to him.
Pada usia yang lanjut, Sara, istri tuan saya itu telah melahirkan anak laki-laki, dan tuan saya telah mewariskan segala harta bendanya kepada anaknya itu.
37 And he made swear an oath me master my saying not (you must take *LA(bh)*) a wife for son my from [the] daughters of the Canaanite[s] whom I [am] dwelling in land its.
Dia menyuruh saya berjanji dengan sumpah supaya mentaati perintahnya. Katanya, 'Janganlah engkau memilih istri bagi anakku dari antara gadis-gadis di tanah Kanaan ini,
38 If not to [the] house of father my you will go and to family my and you will take a wife for son my.
melainkan dari antara sanak saudara kaum ayahku. Jadi pergilah ke sana dengan segera.'
39 And I said to master my perhaps not she will go the woman after me.
Lalu saya bertanya kepadanya, 'Bagaimana jika gadis itu tidak mau ikut dengan saya?'
40 And he said to me Yahweh whom I have walked about before him he will send angel his with you and he will make successful journey your and you will take a wife for son my from family my and from [the] household of father my.
Lalu jawabnya, 'TUHAN yang selalu kutaati, akan mengutus malaikat-Nya untuk menolong supaya tugasmu berhasil. Engkau akan menemukan istri bagi anakku dari antara kaumku sendiri, yaitu dari sanak saudara ayahku.
41 Then you will be free from oath my for you will go to family my and if not they will give [her] to you and you will be free from oath my.
Hanya apabila mereka menolakmu, barulah engkau bebas dari sumpahmu.'
42 And I came this day to the spring and I said O Yahweh [the] God of master my Abraham if [are] there you please [are] making successful journey my which I [am] going on it.
Dan ketika saya sampai di sumur tadi, saya berdoa di dalam hati, 'TUHAN, Allah tuan saya Abraham, hendaknya TUHAN membuat tugas saya berhasil.
43 Here! I [am] standing at [the] spring of the water and it will be the young woman who will come out to draw water and I will say to her give to drink me please a little of water from jar your.
Saya akan tetap berdiri di dekat sumur ini. Apabila seorang gadis datang untuk menimba air, saya akan minta kepadanya supaya diberi minum.
44 And she will say to me both you drink and also for camels your I will draw water she [be] the woman whom he has appointed Yahweh for [the] son of master my.
Jika dia mau melakukannya, dan menawarkan juga untuk memberi minum kepada unta-unta saya, maka dialah kiranya yang TUHAN pilih menjadi istri anak tuan saya itu.'
45 I not yet I had finished to speak to heart my and there! Rebekah [was] coming out and jar her [was] on shoulder her and she went down the spring towards and she drew water and I said to her give a drink me please.
Belum lagi saya selesai mengucapkan doa itu di dalam hati, datanglah Ribka membawa buyung di atas bahunya lalu mengambil air dari sumur. Kemudian saya berkata kepadanya, 'Tolong berilah saya minum.'
46 And she hurried and she put down jar her from on her and she said drink and also camels your I will give a drink to and I drank and also the camels she gave a drink.
Dengan segera ia menurunkan buyung itu dari bahunya dan berkata, 'Minumlah, dan unta-unta Bapak juga akan saya beri minum.' Lalu saya minum dan setelah itu unta-unta saya itu juga diberinya minum.
47 And I asked her and I said daughter of whom? [are] you and she said [the] daughter of Bethuel [the] son of Nahor whom she bore to him Milcah and I put the ring on nose her and the bracelets on hands her.
Sesudah itu saya bertanya, 'Siapakah ayahmu?' Dan ia menjawab, 'Ayah saya Betuel, anak Nahor dan Milka.' Lalu saya mengenakan perhiasan emas pada hidungnya dan sepasang gelang pada lengannya.
48 And I bowed low and I bowed down to Yahweh and I blessed Yahweh [the] God of master my Abraham who he had led me in [the] way of truth to take [the] daughter of [the] brother of master my for son his.
Saya sujud menyembah dan memuji TUHAN, Allah tuan saya Abraham. Ia telah memimpin saya langsung ke sini, kepada sanak saudara tuan saya, sehingga saya dapat menemukan gadis ini bagi anaknya.
49 And now if [are] there you doing loyalty and faithfulness with master my tell to me and if not tell to me so I may turn to right or to left.
Sekarang, jika kalian bersedia memperlakukan tuan saya dengan baik dan memenuhi tanggung jawab kalian terhadapnya sebagai saudara, sudilah mengatakannya kepada saya, tetapi jika tidak, katakanlah juga, supaya saya tahu harus berbuat apa."
50 And he answered Laban and Bethuel and they said from Yahweh it has come out the matter not we are able to speak to you evil or good.
Laban dan Betuel menjawab, "Karena apa yang terjadi ini berasal dari TUHAN, kami tidak patut memberi keputusan.
51 Here! Rebekah [is] before you take [her] and go so may she be a wife for [the] son of master your just as he has spoken Yahweh.
Ini Ribka; biarlah ia ikut dengan Bapak dan menjadi istri anak tuan Bapak, seperti yang dikatakan TUHAN sendiri."
52 And it was just as he heard [the] servant of Abraham words their and he bowed down [the] ground towards to Yahweh.
Ketika hamba Abraham itu mendengar perkataan mereka, ia sujud menyembah TUHAN.
53 And he brought out the servant articles of silver and articles of gold and garments and he gave [them] to Rebekah and precious gifts he gave to brother her and to mother her.
Lalu ia mengeluarkan pakaian, perhiasan perak dan emas, dan memberikan semua itu kepada Ribka. Juga abangnya dan ibunya diberinya hadiah yang mahal-mahal.
54 And they ate and they drank he and the men who [were] with him and they stayed [the] night and they arose in the morning and he said send away me to master my.
Setelah itu hamba Abraham dan orang-orangnya makan dan minum, lalu bermalam di situ. Sesudah mereka bangun keesokan harinya, hamba itu berkata, "Izinkanlah saya pulang kepada tuan saya."
55 And he said brother her and mother her let her remain the young woman with us days or ten (after *L(S)*) she will go.
Tetapi abang serta ibu Ribka berkata, "Biarlah Ribka tinggal bersama kami kira-kira seminggu atau sepuluh hari lagi, dan sesudah itu bolehlah dia pergi."
56 And he said to them may not you delay me and Yahweh he has made successful journey my send away me so let me go to master my.
Tetapi hamba itu berkata, "Janganlah menahan saya. TUHAN membuat perjalanan saya berhasil; izinkanlah saya pulang kepada tuan saya."
57 And they said let us summon the young woman and let us ask mouth her.
Jawab mereka, "Mari kita panggil Ribka dan menanyakan pendapatnya."
58 And they summoned Rebekah and they said to her ¿ will you go with the man this and she said I will go.
Lalu mereka memanggil Ribka dan bertanya, "Maukah engkau ikut orang ini?" Jawab gadis itu, "Ya, saya mau."
59 And they sent away Rebekah sister their and suckling-nurse her and [the] servant of Abraham and men his.
Maka mereka mengizinkan Ribka dan inang pengasuhnya pergi dengan hamba Abraham dan orang-orangnya. Lalu mereka memberkati Ribka dengan kata-kata ini, "Semoga engkau, Ribka menjadi ibu jutaan orang! Semoga keturunanmu menaklukkan kota-kota musuhnya!"
60 And they blessed Rebekah and they said to her O sister our you become thousands of ten thousand so may it take possession of offspring your [the] gate of [those who] hate it.
61 And she arose Rebekah and maids her and they rode on the camels and they went after the man and he took the servant Rebekah and he went.
Kemudian berkemaslah Ribka beserta wanita-wanita muda yang menjadi hambanya, lalu naik unta dan berangkat mengikuti hamba Abraham itu.
62 And Isaac he came from going Beer Lahai Roi and he [was] dwelling in [the] land of the Negev.
Sementara itu Ishak telah datang dari padang gurun, lewat sumur yang disebut "Dia Yang Memperhatikan Aku" dan tinggal di bagian selatan Kanaan.
63 And he went out Isaac to meditate in the field to [the] turning of evening and he lifted up eyes his and he saw and there! camels [were] coming.
Pada suatu sore ia keluar kemahnya hendak berjalan-jalan di ladang, lalu dilihatnya unta-unta datang.
64 And she lifted up Rebekah eyes her and she saw Isaac and she fell from on the camel.
Ketika Ribka melihat Ishak, ia turun dari untanya,
65 And she said to the servant who? [is] the man this who is walking in the field to meet us and he said the servant it [is] master my and she took the veil and she covered herself.
dan bertanya kepada hamba Abraham itu, "Siapa orang laki-laki di ladang itu yang datang ke arah kita?" "Dia tuan saya," jawab hamba itu. Lalu Ribka mengambil selendangnya dan menutupi wajahnya.
66 And he recounted the servant to Isaac all the things which he had done.
Kemudian hamba itu menceritakan kepada Ishak segala yang telah dilakukannya.
67 And he brought her Isaac the tent of towards Sarah mother his and he took Rebekah and she became of him a wife and he loved her and he was comforted Isaac after mother his.
Setelah itu Ishak membawa Ribka masuk ke dalam kemah Sara ibunya, dan ia memperistri Ribka. Ishak mencintai Ribka; maka terhiburlah hati Ishak yang sedih karena kehilangan ibunya.
