Genesis 24
1 And Abraham was old [and] far advanced in age: and the LORD had blessed Abraham in all things.
Abraham uanale na naruꞌ losa namalasi nala seli. LAMATUALAIN nanea e malolole, ma fee ne nasodꞌa no mole dame.
2 And Abraham said to his eldest servant of his house, that ruled over all that he had, Put, I pray thee, thy hand under my thigh:
Abraham ate nemehere na esa, tao mataꞌ neu hata-heto nara. Lao esa, Abraham noꞌe e nae, “Rena malolole! Au oꞌe ho sumba mendiꞌ LAMATUALAIN nara na. Lamatualain mana tao lalai no raefafoꞌ a. Mae, ho afiꞌ haꞌi inaꞌ mia atahori Kanaꞌan ra, fo muꞌusasaoꞌ no ana ngga Isak.
3 And I will make thee swear by the LORD, the God of heaven and the God of the earth, that thou wilt not take a wife for my son of the daughters of the Canaanites among whom I dwell:
4 But thou shalt go to my country, and to my kindred, and take a wife for my son Isaac.
Musi muu sia au nusa ngga, sia au bobꞌonggi nggara. Sangga ana fetoꞌ esa sia naa, fo taꞌasasaoꞌ no ana ngga.”
5 And the servant said to him, It may be the woman will not be willing to follow me to this land: must I needs bring thy son again to the land from whence thou camest?
Basa de ate naa natane Abraham nae, “Malole, Amaꞌ! Te mete ma ana fetoꞌ a nda nau nema sa, naa taꞌo bee? Au musi o amaꞌ anan fo sao sia naa, do, taꞌo bee?”
6 And Abraham said to him, Beware that thou bring not my son thither again.
Abraham nataa nae, “Musunedꞌa malolole! Mae taꞌo bee o, afiꞌ mo ana ngga naa neu!
7 The LORD God of heaven, who took me from my father's house, and from the land of my kindred, and who spoke to me, and who swore to me, saying, To thy seed I will give this land: he will send his angel before thee, and thou shalt take a wife for my son from thence.
Musunedꞌa te LAMATUALAIN mana toꞌu koasa sia lalai no raefafoꞌ a, no au lao hela nusa ngga, de nendi au losa rae ia. Ana tao hehelu-fufuliꞌ no au nae, ‘Dei fo Au fee basa rae ia neu tititi-nonosi ma.’ Dadꞌi afiꞌ hia-bii! Muu neuꞌ ena. Dei fo Lamatualain denu ate Na mia sorga nema soi dalaꞌ fee nggo, fo mundaa mo ana fetoꞌ mana nae dadꞌi ana ngga sao na.
8 And if the woman shall not be willing to follow thee, then thou shalt be clear from this my oath; only bring not my son thither again.
Te mete ma ana fetoꞌ naa nda nau tungga nema sa, naa susumbaꞌ ia nda dai nggo sa. Mae taꞌo bee o, afiꞌ mo ana ngga naa neu.”
9 And the servant put his hand under the thigh of Abraham his master, and swore to him concerning that matter.
Boe ma, ate a sumba no Abraham, nae eni tao tungga basa Abraham hihii-nanau na.
10 And the servant took ten camels, of the camels of his master, and departed; (for all the goods of his master [were] in his hands: ) and he arose, and went to Mesopotamia, to the city of Nahor.
Basa naa ma, ana here nala onta sanahulu, de no atahori nara fua sudꞌi a saa meulauꞌ ra reu banda onta ra ata. De lao risiꞌ Nahor kambo na sia Mesopotamia.
11 And he made his camels to kneel down without the city by a well of water, at the time of the evening, the time when women go out to draw [water]:
Neu mateꞌe na, ate a losa kamboꞌ naa. Ana fee banda onta ra hahae deka oe mataꞌ esa, sia kamboꞌ a suu na. Leleꞌ naa bobꞌoꞌ ena, de ana fetoꞌ ra reu hando oe sia oe mataꞌ a.
12 And he said, O LORD God of my master Abraham, I pray thee, prosper me this day, and show kindness to my master Abraham.
Boe ma ate a hule-oꞌe nae, “LAMATUALAIN, malangga ngga Abraham Lamatua na. Tulun soi dalaꞌ, fo leleo-lalao ngga ia, hambu maloleꞌ. Mutudꞌu rala malole Ma neu malangga ngga, ma musunedꞌa hehelu-fufuli na neu au. Naa fo, undaa o ana fetoꞌ fo mana nae dadꞌi Isak sao na.
13 Behold, I stand [here] by the well of water; and the daughters of the men of the city come out to draw water:
Lamatualain, au umburiꞌ sia oe mataꞌ suu na ia. Ana fetoꞌ mia kamboꞌ ia ra rema hando oe sia ia.
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 by that shall I know that thou hast shown kindness to my master.
Dadꞌi au oꞌe taꞌo ia: Mete ma au olaꞌ o ana fetoꞌ esa ae, ‘Ana fetoꞌ e! Muꞌondaꞌ hura oe ma fo au inu mbei dei.’ Mete ma nataa nae, ‘Amaꞌ minu leo! Ma au o fee banda onta mara rinu boe.’ Naa, dadꞌi bukti, ana fetoꞌ naa Lamatualain dudꞌu basa dadꞌi Isak sao na! No taꞌo naa, au uhine, Lamatualain mutudꞌu malole ma neu malangga ngga Abraham ena.”
15 And it came to pass before he had done speaking, that behold, Rebekah came out, who was born to Bethuel son of Milcah, the wife of Nahor, Abraham's brother, with her pitcher upon her shoulder.
Ana nda feꞌe hule-oꞌe basa sa, te ana fetoꞌ esa naran, Ribka, nema. Eni, Abraham odꞌin Nahor no sao na Milka umbu na. Ribka ama na, naran Betuel. Ribka, meulau na seli, ma feꞌe nda nasalaꞌ no touꞌ ra sa. Ana onda oe mataꞌ neu, nadꞌai hura oe na, de hene baliꞌ.
16 And the damsel [was] very fair to look upon, a virgin, neither had any man known her: and she went down to the well, and filled her pitcher, and came up.
17 And the servant ran to meet her, and said, Let me, I pray thee, drink a little water from thy pitcher.
Ribka losa ataꞌ ma, Abraham ate na nelaꞌ neu. Ana noꞌe nae, “Ana fetoꞌ. Fee au inu mbei dei.”
18 And she said, Drink, my lord. And she hasted, and let down her pitcher upon her hand, and gave him drink.
Ana fetoꞌ a nataa nae, “Minu leo, toꞌo!” Ana naꞌondaꞌ hura oe na lai-lai, de fee ate a ninu.
19 And when she had done giving him drink, she said, I will draw [water] for thy camels also, till they have done drinking.
Ana ninu basa ma, ana fetoꞌ a nae, “Au hando oe fee toꞌo banda onta nara, fo rinu raꞌabeta boe.”
20 And she hasted, and emptied her pitcher into the trough, and ran again to the well to draw [water], and drew for all his camels.
Ana oni oe sisaꞌ neu banda onta ra mamana nininu nara, ma nelaꞌ neu hando seluꞌ oe sia oe mataꞌ fo hani banda onta naa ra, losa raꞌabeta.
21 And the man, wondering at her, held his peace, to know whether the LORD had made his journey prosperous, or not.
Abraham ate na nambariiꞌ hie-hie, mete namemeu ana fetoꞌ a tatao na. Ana dudꞌuꞌa nae, “Ana fetoꞌ ia, Lamatualain hii nalaꞌ a, do?”
22 And it came to pass as the camels had done drinking, that the man took a golden ear-ring of half a shekel weight, and two bracelets for her hands of ten [shekels] weight of gold;
Basa banda onta naa ra rinu losa raꞌabeta. Boe ma ate a fee Ribka bꞌua mafelit fo ana fetoꞌ ra biasa pake. Ana fee ndeli liloꞌ fo nato neu mbana na, ma kale liloꞌ pasan esa, fo olu neu lima nara.
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?
Basa ma, ana natane nae, “Ana fetoꞌ e! Ho ama ma, nara na se? Mete ma nau, naa, au sungguꞌ sia ama ma ume na.”
24 And she said to him, I [am] the daughter of Bethuel the son of Milcah, whom she bore to Nahor.
Ana fetoꞌ a nataa nae, “Ama ngga, naran Betuel. Baꞌi ngga, naran Nahor ma nene ngga, Milka.
25 She said moreover to him, We have both straw and provender enough, and room to lodge in.
Sia hai ume ma mamana susungguꞌ dai toꞌo se. Uru o naeꞌ fee toꞌo se banda nara boe.”
26 And the man bowed his head, and worshipped the LORD.
Basa ma, ate a beꞌutee neu LAMATUALAIN,
27 And he said, Blessed [be] the LORD God of my master Abraham, who hath not left my master destitute of his mercy and his truth: I [being] in the way, the LORD led me to the house of my master's brethren.
de olaꞌ nae, “Koa-kio Lamatuaꞌ! Lamatuaꞌ soi dalaꞌ fee au ena, de undaa o malangga ngga Abraham bobꞌonggi nara sia ia. No taꞌo naa, Lamatuaꞌ mutudꞌu rala malole Ma neu malangga ngga Abraham, ma tao mutetu hehelu-fufuli na neu au.”
28 And the damsel ran, and told these things to her mother's house.
Basa ma, ana fetoꞌ a nela baliꞌ, de dui ume isi nara, basa saa fo mana dadꞌiꞌ a.
29 And Rebekah had a brother, and his name [was] Laban: and Laban ran out to the man, to the well.
Ribka naa na, naran Labꞌan. Leleꞌ ana nita bua mbilas ra ma rena Ribka dudꞌui na ma, ana nelaꞌ lai-lai, neu nandaa no ate mana rii-rii no banda onta nara deka oe mataꞌ a.
30 And it came to pass when he saw the ear-ring and bracelets upon his sister's hands, and when he heard the words of Rebekah his sister, saying, Thus spoke the man to me; that he came to the man; and behold, he stood by the camels at the well.
31 And he said, Come in, thou blessed of the LORD; why standest thou without? for I have prepared the house, and room for the camels.
Labꞌan olaꞌ no e nae, “Toꞌo! Lamatualain no toꞌo losa ia no masodꞌaꞌ ena. Dadꞌi afiꞌ mumburiꞌ siaꞌ a deaꞌ! Uma tisiꞌ hai ume ma. Hai sadꞌia kama ena, ma nanaat fee toꞌo se banda onta nara o, naeꞌ boe.”
32 And the man came into the house: and he ungirded his camels, and gave straw and provender for the camels, and water to wash his feet, and the men's feet that [were] with him.
Basa boe ma, Abraham ate na tungga Labꞌan, de risiꞌ Betuel ume na. Labꞌan se tulun se raꞌondaꞌ sudꞌiꞌ a saa ra mia banda onta ra. Ara fee banda onta ra uru, ma rendi oe fee ate a no atahori nara safe ei nara.
33 And there was set [food] before him to eat: but he said, I will not eat, until I have told my errand. And he said, Speak on.
Ara tao nanaat neu mei ma, ate a nae, “Hita tae taa, te au ae ufadꞌe duduꞌat esa dei.” Labꞌan nataa nae, “Olaꞌ leo, toꞌo.”
34 And he said, I [am] Abraham's servant.
Ma ate a nae, “Au ia, hei baꞌi ma Abraham ate na.
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 men-servants, and maid-servants, and camels, and asses.
LAMATUALAIN fee papala-babꞌanggiꞌ naeꞌ neu malangga ngga, de namasuꞌi seli. Lamatualain fee lilo mbilas, lilo fulaꞌ, ate touꞌ-inaꞌ, ma banda naeꞌ. Naeni: sapi, banda onta, keledai, ma hiek-lombo.
36 And Sarah, my master's wife, bore a son to my master when she was old: and to him hath he given all that he hath.
Au malangga ngga touꞌ-inaꞌ ramalasi, dei de mama Sara bꞌonggi fee malangga ngga ana touꞌ esa. Dei fo, ana mana hambu basa Abraham hata-heto nara.
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:
Lao esa, malangga ngga denu au sumba oi, ‘Ho afiꞌ haꞌi ana feto Kanaꞌan, fo muꞌusasaoꞌ no ana mone ngga Isak.
38 But thou shalt go to my father's house, and to my kindred, and take a wife for my son.
Te ho musi haꞌi ana fetoꞌ mia bobꞌonggi nggara, dadꞌi eni sao naꞌ.’
39 And I said to my master, It may be the woman will not follow me.
Boe ma au utane malangga ngga ae, ‘Te mete ma ana fetoꞌ a nda nau tungga au sa naa, taꞌo bee?’
40 And he said to 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.
Ana nataa nae, ‘LAMATUALAIN fo au tungga hihii Na, dei fo denu ate Na mia sorga nema soi dalaꞌ fee nggo, fo hambu ana fetoꞌ mia au bobꞌonggi nggara, fo dadꞌi ana ngga sao na.
41 Then shalt thou be clear from [this] my oath, when thou comest to my kindred; and if they give not thee [one], thou shalt be clear from my oath.
Te mete ma bobꞌonggi nggara nda simbo sa, ma nda nau mboiꞌ ana fetoꞌ a nema sia ia sa, naa, susumbaꞌ naa nda dai nggo sa.’
42 And I came this day to the well, and said, O LORD God of my master Abraham, if now thou dost prosper my way which I go:
Dadꞌi losa oe mataꞌ a ma, au hule-oꞌe sia rala ngga ae, ‘LAMATUALAIN, malangga ngga Abraham Lamatua na. Tulun soi dalaꞌ, fo leleo-lalao ngga ia, hambu maloleꞌ. Naa fo, au undaa o ana fetoꞌ fo mana nae dadꞌi Isak sao na.
43 Behold, I stand by the well of water; and it shall come to pass, that when the virgin cometh forth to draw [water], and I say to her, Give me, I pray thee, a little water of thy pitcher to drink;
Lamatualain, au umburiiꞌ sia oe mataꞌ ia suu na. Ana fetoꞌ mia kamboꞌ ia ra rema hando oe sia ia. Dadꞌi au oꞌe taꞌo ia: Mete ma au olaꞌ o ana fetoꞌ esa ae, ‘Ana fetoꞌ e! Muꞌondaꞌ hura oe ma fo au inu mbei dei.’
44 And she saith to me, Both drink thou, and I will also draw for thy camels: [let] the same [be] the woman whom the LORD hath pointed out for my master's son.
Mete ma ana nataa nae, ‘Amaꞌ minu leo! Ma au o fee banda mara rinu boe.’ Naa, dadꞌi bukti, ana fetoꞌ naa Lamatualain dudꞌu basa dadꞌi Isak sao na!
45 And before I had done speaking in my heart, behold, Rebekah came forth with her pitcher on her shoulder; and she went down to the well, and drew [water]: and I said to her, Let me drink, I pray thee.
Au nda feꞌe hule-oꞌe basa sa, te Ribka nema nendi hura oe na, de hando oe sia oe mataꞌ a. Ana hene ata neu ma, au oꞌe ae, ‘Ana fetoꞌ e. Fee au inu mbei dei.’
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.
Boe ma ana naꞌondaꞌ hura oe na, de nae, ‘Toꞌo e, minu leo! Au o hani toꞌo banda nara boe.’ De au inu ma banda onta ra o rinu boe.
47 And I asked her, and said, Whose daughter [art] thou? And she said, The daughter of Bethuel, Nahor's son, whom Milcah bore to him: and I put the ear-ring upon her face, and the bracelets upon her hands.
Basa ma, utane e ae, ‘Ama ma, naran seka?’ Nataa nae, ‘Ama ngga, naran Betuel. Baꞌi ngga, Nahor ma nene ngga, Milka.’ Boe ma au fee ne ndeli a ma kale ra.
48 And I bowed my head, and worshipped the LORD, and blessed the LORD God of my master Abraham, who had led me in the right way to take my master's brother's daughter for his son.
Boe ma, au beꞌutee neu Lamatualain ae, ‘Koa-kio Lamatualain! Lamatualain soi dalaꞌ fee au, de undaa o malangga Abraham bobꞌonggi nara sia ia. Ma au o undaa o mana nae dadꞌi malangga soruꞌ a sao na boe.’
49 And now if you 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.
De ia naa, mete ma amaꞌ se mae mitudꞌu susueꞌ neu malangga ngga Abraham, naa, mifadꞌe au relo-relo. Mete ma hokoꞌ o, mifadꞌe relo-relo boe. Naa fo au bubꞌuluꞌ musi tao saa.”
50 Then Laban and Bethuel answered, and said, The thing proceedeth from the LORD: we cannot speak to thee bad or good.
Ate a olaꞌ basa ma, Labꞌan no Betuel rataa rae, “Mete ma LAMATUALAIN tao nala taꞌo naa, naa, hai mae saa fai.
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.
Ribka sia ia, de mo e naa neu leo fo dadꞌi baꞌi Abraham ana feto feu na, tungga saa fo LAMATUALAIN ator nalaꞌ a ena.”
52 And it came to pass, that when Abraham's servant heard their words, he worshipped the LORD, [bowing himself] to the earth.
Ate a rena nala ma, ana beꞌutee losa rae, fo noꞌe makasi neu LAMATUALAIN.
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.
Basa ma, ana haꞌi lilo mbilas ma lilo fulaꞌ, ma bua-baꞌu meulauꞌ fo fee neu Ribka. Ana o fee sudꞌi a saa mafelit neu Ribka naa na no ina na boe.
54 And they ate and drank, he and the men that [were] with him, and tarried all night; and they rose in the morning, and he said, Send me away to my master.
Boe ma no atahori nara, endoꞌ raa fefetas. Basa de, ara sungguꞌ sia naa. Mbila fefetu na, ara fela ma, ana nafadꞌe tenu umeꞌ a nae, “Au oꞌe fo, nau naa, hai mae baliꞌ leo misiꞌ malangga ngga.”
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.
Te Ribka naa na no ina na rae, “Hei halai baliꞌ tao saa? Hela Ribka nahani no hai fai sanahulu dei ma. Basaꞌ fo, mo e neu.”
56 And he said to them, Hinder me not, seeing the LORD hath prospered my way: send me away, that I may go to my master.
Te nataa nae, “Aduu! Afiꞌ ai au! LAMATUALAIN tulun au ena, de au undaa o mana nae dadꞌi malangga soru ngga sao na. De inaꞌ se mboꞌi hai, fo baliꞌ mii mifadꞌe malangga dei.”
57 And they said, We will call the damsel, and inquire at her mouth.
Ara rataa rae, “Taꞌo ia! Ima fo tataneꞌ a Ribka, eni hihii na, taꞌo bee?”
58 And they called Rebekah, and said to her, Wilt thou go with this man? And she said, I will go.
Boe ma ara roꞌe Ribka, de ratane rae, “Ribka! Ia siaꞌ a nggo. Mae tungga memaꞌ mo atahori ia ra leo, do taꞌo bee?” Ana nataa nae, “Au nau.”
59 And they sent away Rebekah their sister, and her nurse, and Abraham's servant, and his men.
Boe ma, ara mboꞌi Ribka, no ate inan mana mete-seꞌu e eniꞌ a aꞌanan, fo reu ro Abraham ate nara. Ara olaꞌ fee Ribka papala-babꞌanggiꞌ rae, “Ribka! Hai hule-huleꞌ fo Lamatualain fee nggo bꞌonggi mumuhefu, fo tititi-nonosi mara dadꞌi rifo-rataꞌ. Ma hai o hule-huleꞌ fo tititi-nonosi mara rasenggiꞌ musu nara!”
60 And they blessed Rebekah, and said to her, Thou [art] our sister, be thou [the mother] of thousands of millions, and let thy seed possess the gate of those who hate them.
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.
Basa naa ma, Ribka no ate ina nara raꞌalilinuꞌ bua-baꞌu nara, de sae banda onta, fo lao ro Abraham ate nara.
62 And Isaac came from the way of the well Lahai-roi; for he dwelt in the south country.
Lele naa, Isak leo sia rae Negeb. Ana feꞌe baliꞌ mia oe mataꞌ sia Beer Lahai Roi.
63 And Isaac went out to meditate in the field at evening: and he lifted up his eyes, and saw, and behold, the camels [were] coming.
Bꞌobꞌobꞌoꞌ esa, ana dea neu lao-laoꞌ haiꞌ anin. Ana botiꞌ mata na ma, nita banda onta ra rema.
64 And Rebekah lifted up her eyes, and when she saw Isaac, she alighted from the camel.
Ribka nita Isak ma, ana onda lai-lai mia banda onta na.
65 For she [had] said to the servant, What man [is] this that walketh in the field to meet us? And the servant [had] said, It [is] my master: therefore she took a vail and covered herself.
Natane Abraham ate na nae, “Toꞌo! Touꞌ mana laoꞌ nema naa, seka?” Ate a nataa nae, “Naeni au malangga soru ngga.” Boe ma Ribka haꞌi nala salenda na, de babata mata na.
66 And the servant told Isaac all things that he had done.
Ara losa ma, ate a nafadꞌe basaꞌ e neu Isak.
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].
Boe ma Isak no Ribka risiꞌ inan lalaat na rala, de ruꞌa se esa sao esa. Isak sue Ribka, naa de, ana nda afiꞌ susa ina na mamaten sa ena.
