< Genesis 24 >

1 Abraham was now a very old man. Yahweh had blessed Abraham in many ways.
Pea naʻe motuʻa ʻa ʻEpalahame, pea lahi ʻaupito ʻa hono ngaahi ʻaho; pea naʻe tāpuaki ʻe Sihova ʻa ʻEpalahame ʻi he meʻa kotoa pē.
2 One day Abraham said to the chief servant of his household, the man who was in charge of everything Abraham owned, “Put your hand between my thighs to solemnly promise you will do what I tell you.
Pea pehē ʻe ʻEpalahame ki ke motuʻa tamaioʻeiki ʻi hono fale, ʻaia naʻe pule ki heʻene meʻa kotoa pē, “ʻOku ou kole ke ke ai ho nima ʻi hoku lalo tenga:
3 Knowing that Yahweh God [who created] the heavens and the earth is listening, promise that you will not get a wife for my son, Isaac, from the women here in Canaan.
He ko hoku loto, ke ke fuakava ʻia Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻoe langi, pea ko e ʻOtua ʻo māmani, ke ʻoua naʻa ke fili ha uaifi ki hoku foha ʻi he ngaahi ʻofefine ʻoe kakai Kēnani, ʻaia ʻoku ou ʻāunofo ki ai.
4 Instead, go back to my country and to my relatives and get a wife for my son Isaac from among them.”
Ka te ke ʻalu ki hoku fonua, ki hoku kāinga, mo ke fili mai ha uaifi ki hoku foha ko ʻAisake.”
5 The servant asked him, “If I find a woman among your relatives, what if she is not willing to come back with me to this land? Shall I take your son back there to the country you came from, [so he can find a wife and live there]?”
Pea pehēange ʻe he tamaioʻeiki kiate ia, “Kapau ʻe ʻikai fie haʻu mo au ʻae fefine ki he fonua ni; ʻe fēfē, te u toe ʻave ho foha ki he fonua naʻa ke haʻu mei ai?”
6 Abraham replied to him, “No! Be certain that you don’t take my son there!
Pea talaange ʻe ʻEpalahame kiate ia, “Vakai, ʻoua ʻaupito naʻa ke toe ʻave hoku foha ki ai.
7 Yahweh God, who created the heavens, brought me here. He brought me from my father’s household, and from the land where my relatives lived. He spoke to me and made a solemn promise to me, saying, ‘I will give this land [of Canaan] to your descendants.’ He will send an angel who will go there ahead of you, and enable you to get a wife for my son [there and bring her to live here].
Ko Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻoe langi, ʻaia naʻe ʻomi au mei he fale ʻo ʻeku tamai, mo e fonua ʻo hoku kāinga, pea naʻa ne lea kiate au mo ne fuakava kiate au, ʻo pehē, Te u foaki ki ho hako ʻae fonua ni: te ne fekau ʻene ʻāngelo ke muʻomuʻa ʻiate koe, pea te ke ʻomi mei ai ha uaifi ki hoku foha.
8 But if the woman you find will not come back with you, you are free to disregard the promise you are making. The only thing that you must not do is to take my son to live there!”
Pea kapau ʻe ʻikai loto ʻae fefine ke haʻu mo koe, te ke ʻataʻatā ai mei he ʻe ta fuakava ni: kaeʻoua naʻa ke toe ʻave hoku foha ki ai.”
9 So the servant put his hand between Abraham’s thighs and made a solemn promise about the matter.
Pea naʻe ai ʻe he tamaioʻeiki hono nima ki he lalo tenga ʻo hono ʻeiki ko ʻEpalahame, pea ne fuakava kiate ia, koeʻuhi ko e meʻa ni.
10 Then the servant took ten of his master’s camels and loaded them with all kinds of goods that his master gave him to take along. Then he left to go to Aram-Naharaim, [which is in (northern Mesopotamia/Syria)]. He arrived in Nahor city.
Pea naʻe fili mai ʻe he tamaioʻeiki ʻae kāmeli ʻe hongofulu ʻi he fanga kāmeli ʻa ʻene ʻeiki, pea ʻalu; he naʻe ʻiate ia ʻae ngaahi meʻa kotoa pē ʻa ʻene ʻeiki, pea tuʻu hake ia ʻo ʻalu ki Mesopōtemia, ki he kolo ʻo Nehoa.
11 It was late in the afternoon, at the time when the women go to the well to get water, when he arrived there. He made the camels kneel down near the well, which was outside the city.
Pea naʻa ne fakatūʻulutui ʻene fanga kāmeli ʻi he tuaʻā kolo ʻi he veʻe vaikeli, ʻi he feituʻulaʻā efiafi, ʻio, ʻi he feituʻulaʻā ʻoku ʻalu ai ʻae kau fefine ke utu vai.
12 The servant prayed, “Yahweh God whom my master Abraham worships, enable me to be successful today! Act kindly to my master, Abraham!
Pea pehē ʻe ia, “E Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻeku ʻeiki ko ʻEpalahame, ʻoku ou kole kiate koe, ke ke fakamonūʻia au he ʻaho ni, pea ke fakahā hoʻo ʻofa ki heʻeku ʻeiki ko ʻEpalahame.
13 Listen to me. I am standing near a well of water, and the young women of the city are coming to get water.
Vakai, ʻoku ou tuʻu ʻi heni, ʻi he veʻe vaikeli; pea ʻe haʻu ʻae ngaahi ʻofefine ʻoe kakai ʻoe kolo ke utu vai.
14 I am asking you this: ‘I will say to some girl, “Please lower your jar so that I may drink some water.” If she says, “Drink some, and I will draw some water [from the well] for your camels, too,” I will know that she is the woman whom you chose to be a wife for your servant, Isaac, and I will know that you have been kind to my master.’”
Tuku ke hoko ʻo pehē, ke ʻilonga ʻae taʻahine, ʻaia te u pehē ki ai, ‘ʻOku ou kole kiate koe, tuku hifo hoʻo hina, ke u inu; pea te ne pehē mai, Inu, pea te u fakainu hoʻo fanga kāmeli foki;’ ko ia ia kuo ke fili maʻa hoʻo tamaioʻeiki ko ʻAisake: pea te u ʻilo ai kuo ke fakahā ʻae ʻofa ki heʻeku ʻeiki.”
15 Before he finished praying, [amazingly], Rebekah arrived there, carrying a jar on her shoulder. She was the daughter of Bethuel, who was the son of Milcah, the wife of Abraham’s younger brother Nahor.
Pea naʻe hoko, ʻo pehē, ʻi he teʻeki ai ʻosi ʻene lea, vakai naʻe haʻu mo ʻene hina vai ʻi hono uma, ʻa Lepeka ʻaia naʻe tupu ia Petueli, ko e tama ʻa Milika, ko e uaifi ʻo Nehoa, ko e taʻokete ʻo ʻEpalahame.
16 She was very beautiful and still a virgin. She went down to the edge of the well, filled her jar with water, and then came back up.
Pea naʻe hoihoifua ʻae taʻahine ke sio ki ai, pea ko e tāupoʻou ia, he naʻe teʻeki ʻiloʻi ia ʻe ha tangata; pea ne ʻalu hifo ia ki he vai, ʻo fakafonu ʻene hina pea toe ʻalu hake.
17 Abraham’s servant immediately ran to meet her, and said, “Please give me a little water from your jar.”
Pea lele ʻae tamaioʻeiki ke fakafetaulaki kiate ia, ʻo ne pehē kiate ia: “ʻOku ou kole ke u inu ha vai siʻi ʻi hoʻo hina.”
18 She replied, “Drink some, sir!” She lowered her jar from her shoulder to her hands and gave him a drink.
Pea pehēange ʻe ia, “Ko ʻeku ʻeiki ke ke inu;” pea fakatoʻotoʻo ia ʻo tuku hifo ʻae hina ki hono nima, ʻo ne fakainu ia.
19 After she had finished giving him a drink, she said, “I will also get some water for your camels, until they have had enough to drink.”
Pea hili ʻene fakainu ia, pea pehē ʻe ia, “Te u utu ki hoʻo fanga kāmeli foki ke ʻoua ke nau fiu.”
20 She quickly emptied the water in her jar into the trough [for giving water to animals], and then ran back to the well, and kept getting water for all the camels.
Pea fakatoʻotoʻo ia, pea lingi ʻae vai mei he hina ki he tukuʻanga vai, pea toe lele ki he vai ke utu, pea naʻa ne utu ki heʻene fanga kāmeli kotoa pē.
21 The servant just watched her, without saying anything. He wanted to know if Yahweh had caused his trip to be successful or not.
Pea naʻe ofo ʻae tangata kiate ia, kae fakalongo pe, ko ʻene vakai pe kuo fakamonūʻia ʻe Sihova hono fononga pe ʻikai.
22 Finally, after the camels finished drinking, the servant took out a gold nose ring that weighed (two ounces/6 grams), and two large gold bracelets for her arms, and gave them to Rebekah [and told her to put them on].
Pea naʻe hoko ʻo pehē, ʻi he hili ʻae inu ʻae fanga kāmeli, naʻe toʻo ʻe he tangata ʻae hau koula, ko e vaheua ʻoe sikeli siliva hono mamafa, pea mo e lelu koula ʻe ua ki hono nima, ko e sikeli ʻe hongofulu hono mamafa.
23 Then he said, “Tell me whose daughter you are. Also, tell me, is there room in your father’s house for me and my men to sleep there tonight?”
Pea ne pehē, “Ko e ʻofefine ʻohai koe? ʻOku ou kole ke ke tala mai, pe ʻoku ʻataʻatā ʻae ʻapi ʻo hoʻo tamai ke mau ʻapitanga ai.”
24 She replied, “My father’s name is Bethuel. He is the son of Nahor and his wife Milcah.
Pea ne pehē kiate ia, “Ko e ʻofefine au ʻo Petueli ko e tama ʻa Milika, ʻaia naʻa ne fāʻeleʻi kia Nehoa.”
25 Yes, we have room where you all can sleep tonight, and we also have plenty of straw and grain to feed the camels.”
Pea ne pehē foki kiate ia, “ʻOku mau maʻu ʻae mohuku mo e meʻakai lahi pea ʻoku ʻataʻatā homau ʻapi ke [mou ]ʻapitanga ki ai.”
26 The servant bowed and worshiped Yahweh.
Pea tulolo hifo ʻae tangata hono ʻulu, pea hū ia kia Sihova.
27 He said, “I thank you, Yahweh God, whom my master Abraham worships. You have continued to be kind and faithful to my master. You led me on this journey straight/directly to the house of my master’s relatives!”
‌ʻO ne pehē, “ʻOku monūʻia ʻa Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻa ʻeku ʻeiki ko ʻEpalahame, ʻaia ʻoku ʻikai te ne fakamasiva ʻeku ʻeiki ʻi heʻene ʻaloʻofa mo ʻene moʻoni; naʻaku ʻi he hala, pea kuo tataki au ʻe Sihova ki he fale ʻoe kāinga ʻo ʻeku ʻeiki.”
28 The girl ran and told everyone in her mother’s household about what had happened.
Pea naʻe lele ʻae taʻahine, ʻo fakahā ki he fale ʻo ʻene faʻē, ʻae ngaahi meʻa ni.
29 Rebekah had a brother whose name was Laban. Laban went quickly to Abraham’s servant, who was still by the well.
Pea naʻe ʻi ai ʻae tuongaʻane ʻo Lepeka ko Lepani hono hingoa; pea lele kituʻa ʻa Lepani ki he tangata, ʻi he vaikeli.
30 He was surprised to have seen the bracelets on his sister’s arms and the nose ring and to have heard Rebekah tell what the man had said to her. So he went out and saw the man standing near the camels, close to the well.
Pea naʻe hoko ʻo pehē, ʻi heʻene mamata ki he hau, mo e lelu ʻi he nima ʻo hono tuofefine, pea mo ʻene fanongo ki he ngaahi lea ʻa Lepeka ko hono tuofefine, ʻo pehē, naʻe lea pehē mai ʻae tangata kiate au; pea haʻu leva ia ki he tangata; pea vakai naʻe tuʻu ia ʻo ofi ki he fanga kāmeli ʻi he veʻe vaikeli.
31 He said to the man, “You who have been blessed by Yahweh, come with me! (Why are standing out here?/You should not keep standing out here!) [RHQ] I have prepared a room for you in the house, and a place for the camels to stay.”
Pea pehē ʻe ia, “Haʻu ki heni, ʻa koe ko e monūʻia ʻo Sihova; ko e hā ʻoku ke kei tuʻu ai ʻi tuaʻā? He kuo ʻosi ʻeku teu ʻae fale, mo e potu ki he fanga kāmeli.
32 So the servant went to the house, and Laban’s servants unloaded the camels, and brought straw and grain for the camels, and water for him and the men with him to wash their feet.
Pea naʻe hū ʻae tangata ki he fale; pea ne vete ʻae fanga kāmeli, pea ne ʻatu ʻae mohuku mo e meʻakai ki he fanga kāmeli, mo e vai ke fufulu ai hono vaʻe mo e vaʻe ʻoe kau tangata naʻe ʻiate ia.
33 They set food in front of him for him to eat, but he said, “I will not eat until I tell you (what I need to tell you/why I have come).” So Laban said, “Tell us!”
Pea naʻe tuku ʻi hono ʻao ʻae meʻakai: ka naʻe pehē ʻe ia, “E ʻikai te u kai, kaeʻoua muʻa ke u fakahā ʻeku fekau,” pea ne pehē, “Ke ke lea.”
34 So the servant said, “I am Abraham’s servant.
Pea ne pehē ʻe ia, “Ko e tamaioʻeiki au ʻa ʻEpalahame,
35 Yahweh has greatly blessed my master so that he has become very rich. Yahweh has given him many sheep and cattle, a lot of gold and silver, male and female servants, camels and donkeys.
Pea kuo tāpuaki lahi ʻe Sihova ʻeku ʻeiki; pea kuo hoko ia ʻo lahi: pea kuo ne foaki kiate ia ʻae fanga sipi, mo fanga manu, mo e siliva, mo e koula, mo e kau tamaioʻeiki mo e kau kaunanga, mo e fanga kāmeli, mo e fanga ʻasi.
36 My master’s wife, Sarah, bore a son for him when she was very old, and my master has given to his son everything he owns.
Pea ko Sela, ko e uaifi ʻo ʻeku ʻeiki naʻa ne fanauʻi ki heʻeku ʻeiki ʻae tama heʻene motuʻa; pea kuo ne tuku ʻa ʻene meʻa kotoa pē kiate ia.
37 My master made me solemnly promise, saying, ‘Do not get a wife for my son from the women here in Canaan.
Pea naʻe fekau ʻe heʻeku ʻeiki kiate au ke u fuakava, ʻo pehē, ‘E ʻikai te ke fili ha uaifi ki hoku foha mei he ngaahi ʻofefine ʻoe kakai Kēnani, ʻaia ʻoku ʻonautolu ʻae fonua ʻoku ou nofo ai;’
38 Instead, go back to my father’s family, to my own clan, and get from them a wife for my son.’
Ka ke ʻalu ki he fale ʻo ʻeku tamai mo hoku kāinga, ʻo ʻomi mei ai ha uaifi ki hoku foha.
39 Then I asked my master, ‘What shall I do if the woman you show me will not come back with me?’
Pea naʻaku pehē ki heʻeku ʻeiki, ‘Ka e fēfē ʻoka ʻikai fie haʻu ʻae fefine mo au?’
40 He replied, ‘Yahweh, whom I have always obeyed [MTY], will send his angel with you, and he will cause your journey to be successful, with the result that you can get a wife for my son from my clan, from my father’s family.
Pea pehē mai ʻe ia kiate au, ‘Ko Sihova ʻaia ʻoku ou ʻalu ʻi hono ʻao, te ne fekau ʻene ʻāngelo ke ʻalu mo koe ʻo fakamonūʻia hoʻo ʻalu; pea te ke ʻomi ha uaifi ki hoku foha mei hoku kāinga mo e fale ʻo ʻeku tamai:
41 But if my clan refuses to allow her to return with you, you will be freed from being cursed because of not obeying me.’
Pea te ke ʻataʻatā mei heʻeku fuakava ni, ʻoka ke ka hoko ki hoku kāinga, pea kapau ʻe ʻikai te nau tuku ha tokotaha kiate koe, pea te ke ʻataʻatā mei he ʻe tā fuakava ni.’
42 “When I came today to the well, I prayed, ‘Yahweh God whom my master, Abraham worships, if you are willing, please allow this journey of mine to be successful.
Pea naʻaku haʻu he ʻaho ni ki he vaikeli pea u pehē, ‘E Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻeku ʻeiki ko ʻEpalahame, kapau ʻoku ke fakamonūʻia hoku hala, ʻaia ʻoku ou ʻalu ai:
43 Listen to me. I am standing beside a well. A young woman may come to draw water. I will say to her, “Please, give me a little water to drink from your jar.”
Vakai ʻoku ou tuʻu ʻi he veʻe vaikeli pea te u pehē, ʻoka haʻu ha taʻahine ke utu vai, te u pehē kiate ia, ‘ʻOku ou kole kiate koe, tuku mai ha vai siʻi ʻi hoʻo hina ke u inu:’
44 If she says to me, “Certainly, drink some! And I will also draw some water for your camels,” that will be the woman whom you have chosen for my master’s son!’
Pea kapau te ne pehē mai kiate au, ‘Inu koe, pea te u utu ha vai ki hoʻo fanga kāmeli foki,’ ʻofa ko e fefine ko ia kuo fili ʻe Sihova ki he foha ʻo ʻeku ʻeiki.
45 Before I finished praying, [amazingly], Rebekah approached with her water jar on her shoulder. She went down to the well and got some water. I said to her, ‘Please give me a drink!’
Pea naʻe teʻeki ai ʻosi ʻeku lea ʻi hoku loto, mo ʻene hoko mai ʻa Lepeka mo ʻene hina ʻi hono uma: pea hifo ia ki he vai, ʻo utu, pea ne u pehē kiate ia, ‘ʻOku ou kole kiate koe tuku mai ke u inu.’
46 She quickly lowered her jar and said, ‘Drink some! And I will draw water [from the well] for your camels, too.’ So I drank some water, and she also got water for the camels.
Pea naʻe fakatoʻotoʻo ia ʻo tuku hifo ʻene hina mei hono uma, ʻo ne pehē, ‘Inu, pea te u fakainu hoʻo fanga kāmeli foki; pea u inu, pea naʻa ne fakainu ʻae fanga kāmeli foki.
47 Then I asked her, ‘Whose daughter are you?’ She said, ‘The daughter of Bethuel, the son of Nahor and his wife, Milcah.’ I had [a ring and bracelets with me, and] I put the ring in her nose and put the bracelets on her arms.
Pea naʻaku fehuʻi kiate ia ʻo pehē, ‘Ko e ʻofefine ʻohai koe?’ Pea pehē ʻe ia, ‘Ko e ʻofefine ʻo Petueli, ko e foha ʻo Nehoa ʻaia naʻe fanauʻi ʻe Milika kiate ia: pea naʻaku ai ʻae hau ki hono mata, mo e lelu ki hono nima.’
48 Then I bowed and worshiped Yahweh, and I thanked Yahweh God, the one my master Abraham worships, the one who led me on the right road to get the granddaughter of my master’s brother to be a wife for my master’s son.
Pea punou hifo hoku mata ʻo hū mo e fakafetaʻi kia Sihova, ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻeku ʻeiki ko ʻEpalahame, ʻaia naʻe tataki au ʻi he hala totonu ke ʻave ʻae ʻofefine ʻoe tokoua ʻa ʻeku ʻeiki ki hono foha.
49 Now, if you are kind and faithful to my master, tell me that you will do what I am asking. If you will not do that, tell me that also, so I may know what to do [MTY].”
Pea ko eni, kapau te mou fai ʻofa mo totonu, ki heʻeku ʻeiki, tala mai, pea ka ʻikai, tala mai, koeʻuhi ke u afe ki he nima toʻomataʻu, pe ki he toʻohema.”
50 Laban and Bethuel answered, “It is clear that Yahweh has caused this to happen. So we two cannot say anything more.
Pea lea ʻa Lepani mo Petueli, ʻo pehēange, “ʻOku haʻu ʻae meʻa ni meia Sihova; pea ʻoku ʻikai te ma faʻa lea ʻaki kiate koe ʻae kovi pe ko e lelei;
51 Rebekah is here in front of you. Take her and go, and let her be a wife for your master’s son, just as Yahweh has indicated.”
Vakai, ʻoku ʻi ho ʻao ʻa Lepeka, toʻo ia, pea ʻalu, pea ke hoko ia ko e uaifi ki he foha ʻo hoʻo ʻeiki, ʻo hangē ko e folofola ʻa Sihova.”
52 When Abraham’s servant heard these words, he bowed down to the ground to [thank] Yahweh.
Pea ʻi he fanongo ʻae tamaioʻeiki ʻa ʻEpalahame ki he ngaahi lea ni, naʻe hū ia kia Sihova, ʻo ne punou ki he kelekele;
53 Then the servant brought out silver and gold jewelry and clothes, and gave them to Rebekah. And he gave gifts to her brother Laban and to her mother.
Pea toʻo ʻe he tamaioʻeiki ʻae ngaahi teunga siliva, mo e ngaahi teunga koula, mo e ngaahi kofu, ʻo ne foaki ia kia Lepeka; pea ne foaki ʻae ngaahi meʻa mahuʻinga ki hono tuongaʻane, mo ʻene faʻē.
54 Then they ate a meal together. The men who were with Abraham’s servant also slept there that night. The next morning, the servant said, “Allow me now to return to my master.”
Pea naʻa nau kai mo inu, ko ia mo e kau tangata naʻe ʻiate ia, pea nau mohe ʻi he pō ko ia: pea nau tuʻu hake ʻi he pongipongi, pea naʻa ne pehē, “Tuku au ke u ʻalu ki heʻeku ʻeiki.”
55 But her brother and her mother replied, “Let the girl remain with us for about ten days. After that, you may take her and go.”
Pea pehēange ʻe hono tuongaʻane mo ʻene faʻē, “Tuku muʻa ke mau nonofo mo e taʻahine ʻi he ʻaho niʻihi, ʻae ʻaho ʻe hongofulu nai; pea hili ia ʻe toki ʻalu atu.”
56 But he replied to them, “Yahweh has made my journey successful, so do not detain me. Let me take her back to my master now!”
Pea pehēange ʻe ia kiate kinaua, “ʻOua te mo taʻofi au, he kuo fakamonūʻia ʻe Sihova hoku hala: tuku au ke u ʻalu ki heʻeku ʻeiki.”
57 They said, “Let’s call Rebekah and ask her what she wants to do.” [MTY]
Pea naʻa na pehē, “Te ma ui ʻae taʻahine ʻo fehuʻi mei hono ngutu.”
58 So they summoned Rebekah and asked her, “Will you go with this man now?” She replied, “Yes, I will go.”
Pea naʻa na ui ʻa Lepeka, ʻo pehē kiate ia, “Te ke ʻalu mo e tangata ni?” Pea pehēange ʻe ia, “Te u ʻalu.”
59 So they allowed Rebekah, a woman who had taken care of her when she was very young, Abraham’s servant, and the men who had come with him. to go.
Pea naʻa nau tuku ʻa Lepeka ko honau tuofefine ke ne ʻalu mo hono fefine tauhi, mo e tamaioʻeiki ʻa ʻEpalahame, mo ʻene kau tangata.
60 Before they all left, they [asked God to] bless Rebekah, and said to her, “Our sister, we ask that Yahweh will cause you to have millions of descendants, and allow them to completely defeat [MET] all those that hate them.”
Pea naʻa nau tāpuaki ʻa Lepeka ʻo pehē kiate ia, “Ko homau tuofefine koe, ʻofa ke ke hoko koe ko e faʻē ʻoe ngaahi toko afe taʻefaʻalaua, pea ke maʻu ʻe ho hako ʻae matapā ʻonautolu ʻoku fehiʻa kiate koe.”
61 Then Rebekah and her maid servants got ready and got on their camels and went with Abraham’s servant.
Pea naʻe tuʻu hake ʻa Lepeka mo hono kau fefine, pea nau heka ʻi he fanga kāmeli ʻo muimui ki he tangata; pea ʻave ʻa Lepeka ʻe he tamaioʻeiki, pea fononga ʻi hono hala.
62 At that time, Isaac was living in the Negev desert. He had gone there from Beer-Lahai-Roi.
Ka naʻe haʻu ʻa ʻAisake ʻi he hala mei he vai ko Lehai-Loʻai; he naʻa ne nofo ʻi he potu tonga.
63 One evening he went out into the field to meditate as he walked. He looked up and [was surprised to] see some camels coming.
Pea ʻalu atu ʻa ʻAisake ki he ngoue ʻi he efiafi, ke ne lotu; pea ne hanga hake hono mata ʻo sio, pea vakai ʻoku haʻu ʻae fanga kāmeli.
64 Rebekah also looked up and saw Isaac. She got off the camel,
Pea hanga hake ʻe Lepeka hono mata, pea ʻi heʻene mamata kia ʻAisake, naʻe ʻalu hifo ia mei he kāmeli.
65 and asked the servant, “Who is that man who is approaching?” The servant replied, “That is Isaac, my master, [the man you will be marrying].” So she took her veil and covered her face, which was the custom for a woman who was about to be married.
He kuo ʻosi ʻene fehuʻi ki he tamaioʻeiki, ʻo pehē, ‘Ko hai ʻae tangata ko ia ʻoku haʻu ʻi he ngoue ke fakafetaulaki mai kiate kitautolu?” Pea naʻe pehēange ʻe he tamaioʻeiki, “Ko ʻeku ʻeiki ia: ko ia naʻa ne toʻo ai ʻae pulupulu, ʻo fakapulou ʻaki ia.”
66 The servant told Isaac everything that had happened.
Pea naʻe fakamatala ʻe he tamaioʻeiki kia ʻAisake ʻae ngaahi meʻa kotoa pē naʻa ne fai.
67 Then Isaac took Rebekah into the tent that belonged to his mother, Sarah, and she became his wife. And he loved her. So Isaac was comforted about his mother’s death.
Pea naʻe ʻomi ia ʻe ʻAisake ki he fale fehikitaki ʻo ʻene faʻē ko Sela, pea ne maʻu ʻa Lepeka, pea hoko ia ko hono uaifi: pea ʻofa ia kiate ia; pea naʻe fiemālie ʻa ʻAisake ʻi he hili ange [ʻae pekia ]o ʻene faʻē.
