Genesis 24
1 Forsothe Abraham was eld, and of many daies, and the Lord hadde blessid hym in alle thingis.
Ugbu a, Ebraham aghọọla agadi nʼahụ ya ma nʼọnụọgụgụ afọ ya. Onyenwe anyị agọziela ya nʼụzọ niile
2 And he seide to the eldere seruaunt of his hows, that was souereyn on alle thingis that he hadde, Put thou thin hond vndur myn hipe,
Ọ gwara onyeisi ndị ozi nʼụlọ ya, onye nke na-elekọta ihe niile o nwere sị ya, “Tinye aka gị nʼokpuru apata m.
3 that Y coniure thee bi the Lord God of heuene and of erthe, that thou take not a wijf to my sone of the douytris of Chanaan, among whiche Y dwelle;
Achọrọ m ka i jiri aha Onyenwe anyị Chineke nke eluigwe na ụwa, ṅụọra m iyi, na ị gaghị achọtara nwa m nwoke nwunye site nʼetiti ndị Kenan, ndị m bi nʼetiti ha.
4 but that thou go to my lond and kynrede, and therof take a wijf to my sone Ysaac.
Kama na ị ga-aga nʼala nke m na ụmụnna m lụtara nwa m, bụ Aịzik, nwunye nʼetiti ụmụnna m.”
5 The seruaunt aunswerde, If the womman nyle come with me in to this lond, whether Y owe lede ayen thi sone to the place, fro which thou yedist out?
Ohu ahụ jụrụ ya, “Ọ bụrụkwanụ na nwaagbọghọ ahụ achọghị isoro m lọghachi nʼebe a, m ga-akpọrọ nwa gị nwoke laghachi nʼobodo i si bịa?”
6 Abraham seide, Be war, lest ony tyme thou lede ayen thidur my sone;
Ebraham sịrị ya, “Lezie anya hụ na ị kpọghachighị nwa m nwoke nʼebe ahụ.
7 the Lord of heuene that took me fro the hows of my fadir, and fro the lond of my birthe, which spak to me, and swoor, and seide, Y schal yyue this lond to thi seed, he schal sende his aungel bifore thee, and thou schalt take fro thennus a wijf to my sone; forsothe if the womman nyle sue thee,
Onyenwe anyị, Chineke nke eluigwe, bụ onye kpọpụtara m site nʼụlọ nna m nakwa obodo nke aka m, onye ahụ gwara m okwu ma kwem nkwa site nʼịṅụ iyi nye sị, ‘Aga m enye ụmụ ụmụ gị ala a.’ Ọ ga-ezipụ mmụọ ozi ya ka ọ gaa nʼihu gị ka i nwee ike inwetara nwa m nwoke nwunye site nʼebe ahụ.
8 thou schalt not be holdun bi the ooth; netheles lede not ayen my sone thidur.
Ma ọ bụrụ na nwanyị ahụ achọghị isoro gị lọghachi, mgbe ahụ, ị ga-abụ onye nwere onwe ya pụọ nʼiyi a ị ṅụrụ. Naanị na ị gaghị eme ka nwa m nwoke laghachi nʼebe ahụ.”
9 Therfore the seruaunt puttide his hond vndur the hipe of Abraham, his lord, and swoor to him on this word.
Ya mere, ohu ahụ tinyere aka ya nʼokpuru apata nna ya ukwu Ebraham, ṅụọ iyi banyere okwu ndị a.
10 And he took ten camels of the floc of his lord, and yede forth, and bar with him of alle the goodis of his lord; and he yede forth, and cam to Mesopotanye, to the citee of Nachor.
Emesịa, ohu a duuru ịnyịnya kamel iri nʼime ndị nna ya ukwu nwere pụọ. O sitekwara nʼaka nna ya ukwu were ihe ọma dị iche iche maka njem a, gawa Aram Naharaim, rute nʼobodo Nahọ.
11 And whanne he hadde maad the camels to reste with out the citee, bisidis the pit of watir, in the euentid, in that tyme in which wymmen ben wont to go out to drawe watir,
O mere ka ịnyịnya kamel ndị ahụ makpuru ala nʼakụkụ olulu mmiri dị nʼazụ obodo ahụ. Ọ bụ nʼoge anyasị, oge ụmụ nwanyị ji apụta iseta mmiri nʼebe ahụ.
12 he seide, Lord God of my lord Abraham, Y biseche, meete with me to dai, and do mersi with my lord Abraham.
Mgbe ahụ, o kpere ekpere sị, “Onyenwe anyị, Chineke nke nna m ukwu Ebraham, mee ka ihe gaara m nke ọma taa. Gosi nna m ukwu Ebraham obi ebere gị.
13 Lo! Y stonde nyy the welle of watir, and the douytris of enhabiters of this citee schulen go out to drawe watir;
Lee, ana m eguzo nʼakụkụ isi iyi mmiri a, ụmụ nwanyị ndị obodo a na-abịa iseta mmiri.
14 therfor the damysel to which Y schal seie, Bowe doun thi watir pot that Y drynke, and schal answere, Drynke thou, but also Y schal yyue drynke to thi camels, thilke it is which thou hast maad redi to thi seruaunt Ysaac; and bi this Y schal vndirstonde that thou hast do mersi with my lord Abraham.
Kwere ka o si otu a dịrị na nwaagbọghọ nke m ga-asị, ‘Biko, zie ite gị ka m ṅụrụ mmiri.’ Ọ bụrụ na onye ahụ asị m, ‘Ṅụọ, aga m ekutekwa mmiri nke ịnyịnya kamel gị ga-aṅụ,’ ka onye ahụ bụrụ onye ị họpụtara ohu gị Aịzik. Nʼụzọ dị otu a ka m ga-esi mata na i gosila nna m ukwu obi ebere.”
15 And he hadde not yit fillid the wordis with ynne hym silf, and lo! Rebecca, the douytir of Batuel, sone of Melcha, wijf of Nachor, brothir of Abraham, yede out, hauynge a watir pot in hir schuldre;
Tupu o kpechaa ekpere a, lekwa Ribeka ada Betuel, nwa nwoke Milka, onye bụ nwunye Nahọ, nwanne Ebraham. Ọ na-apụta bukwasị ite nʼubu ya.
16 a damysel ful comeli, and faireste virgyn, and vnknowun of man. Sotheli sche cam doun to the welle, and fillide the watir pot, and turnide ayen.
Ọ bụ nwaagbọghọ mara mma nke ukwuu, onye na-amatabeghị nwoke, nke nwoke ọbụla na-edinabeghị. Ọ gara nʼolulu mmiri kujuo ite ya si nʼebe ahụ na-arịgopụta.
17 And the seruaunt mette hir, and seide, Yyue thou to me a litil of the watir of thi pot to drynke.
Ohu ahụ mere ngwangwa jekwuru ya sị ya, “Biko nyetụ m mmiri si nʼite mmiri gị.”
18 Which answerde, Drynke thou, my lord. And anoon sche dide doun the watir pot on hir schuldre, and yaf drynk to hym.
Ọ mere ngwangwa budata ite ahụ nʼaka ya, hulata ya si ya, “Ṅụọ, onyenwe m.”
19 And whanne he hadde drunke, sche addide, But also Y schal drawe watir to thi camelis, til alle drynken.
Mgbe o nyechara ya mmiri, ọ sịrị, “Aga m ekutekwa mmiri nye ịnyịnya kamel gị ndị a ruo mgbe ha ṅụjuru afọ.”
20 And sche helde out the watir pot in trouyis, and ran ayen to the pit, to drawe watir, and sche yaf watir drawun to alle the camels.
Ngwangwa, ọ wụpụrụ mmiri dị nʼite ya nʼime ihe anụ ụlọ ji aṅụ mmiri, gbara ọsọ gaa kute mmiri ọzọ na-agbanye nʼime ihe ahụ. O kugidere mmiri tutu ruo mgbe ịnyịnya kamel ndị ahụ ṅụjuchara afọ.
21 Sotheli he bihelde hir priueli, and wolde wite whether the Lord hadde sped his wei, ethir nay.
Mgbe ihe ndị a na-eme, ohu ahụ gbara nkịtị na-ele ya anya ịchọpụta ma Onyenwe anyị emeela ka ije ya bụrụ ihe gara nke ọma.
22 Therfor after that the camels drunken, the man brouyte forth goldun eere ryngis, weiynge twei siclis, and as many bies of the arm, in the weiyte of ten siclis.
Mgbe ịnyịnya kamel ndị ahụ ṅụsịrị mmiri, nwoke ahụ wepụtara mgbanimi ọlaedo nke ọtụtụ ya bụ otu beka, na mgbaaka ọlaedo abụọ nke ọtụtụ ha bụ shekel iri.
23 And he seide to hir, Whos douyter art thou? schewe thou to me, is ony place in the hows of thi fadir to dwelle?
Ọ jụrụ ya sị, “Nwa onye ka ị bụ? Ohere ọ dị nʼụlọ nna gị ebe mụ na ịnyịnya kamel ndị a ga-anọ nʼabalị a?”
24 Which answerde, Y am the douyter of Batuel, sone of Nachor, whom Melcha childide to him.
Ọ zara sị ya, “Abụ m nwa Betuel, nwa Milka nwunye Nahọ.”
25 And sche addide, seiynge, Also ful myche of prouendre and of hey is at vs, and a large place to dwelle.
Ọ sịkwara, “Anyị nwere nri anụ ụlọ, nweekwa ebe ị ga-edina nʼabalị a.”
26 The man bowide hym silf,
Nwoke ahụ hulatara ala kpọọ isiala nye Onyenwe anyị.
27 and worschipide the Lord, and seide, Blessid be the Lord God of my lord Abraham, which God took not aweie his mersy and treuthe fro my lord, and ledde me bi riyt weie in to the hous of the brother of my lord.
Kwuo sị, “Ngọzị dịrị Onyenwe anyị, bụ Chineke nna m ukwu Ebraham, onye na-esitebeghị nʼebe nna m ukwu nọ wezuga ebere ya na ikwesi ntụkwasị obi ya. Ma banyere mụ onwe m, Onyenwe anyị e duola m nʼije a, kpọrọ m rute nʼụlọ ndị ikwu nna m ukwu.”
28 And so the damesel ran, and telde in the hous of hir modir alle thingis whiche sche hadde herd.
Nwaagbọghọ ahụ gbalara gaa kọọrọ ndị ezinaụlọ nne ya ihe ndị a.
29 Sotheli Rebecca hadde a brothir, Laban bi name, whiche yede out hastili to the man, where he was with out forth.
Ribeka nwere otu nwanne nwoke aha ya bụ Leban. Leban gbara ọsọ gbakwuje nwoke ahụ nʼisi iyi mmiri ahụ.
30 And whanne he hadde seyn the eere ryngis and byes of the arm in the hondis of his sister, and hadde herd alle the wordis of hir tellynge, the man spak to me these thingis, he cam to the man that stood bisidis the camels, and nyy the welle of watir,
Mgbe ọ hụrụ mgbanimi, na mgbaaka ndị ahụ nwanne ya nwanyị yi nʼaka ya, ma nụkwa ihe Ribeka kwuru banyere ihe nwoke ahụ gwara ya, o jekwuru nwoke ahụ, hụ ya ka ya na ịnyịnya kamel ya guzo nʼakụkụ olulu mmiri.
31 and seide to him, Entre thou, the blessid of the Lord; whi stondist thou with outforth? I haue maad redi the hows, and a place to thi camels.
Ọ sịrị ya, “Bịa, gị onye Onyenwe anyị gọziri. Gịnị mere i ji guzo nʼebe a. Edozielara m gị ụlọ ebe ị ga-edina na ebe ịnyịnya kamel ndị a ga-anọ.”
32 And he brouyte hym in to the ynne, and unsadlide the camels, and yaf prouendre, and hey, and watir to waische the feet of camels, and of men that camen with hym.
Ya mere, nwoke ahụ gara nʼụlọ, ebe Leban nyere aka butukwaara ya ibu nke ịnyịnya kamel ndị ahụ bu. E wetara nri nye ịnyịnya kamel ndị ahụ, wetara ya mmiri nke ya na ndị ikom so ya ji saa ụkwụ ha.
33 And breed was set forth in his siyt, which seide, Y schal not ete til Y speke my wordis. He answerde to the man, Speke thou.
E doziri ya ihe oriri, ma ọ zara sị, “Agaghị m eri ihe ọbụla tutu ruo mgbe m kwuru ihe m ji bịa.” Leban sịrị, “Ngwa, kwuonụ.”
34 And the man seide, Y am the seruaunt of Abraham,
Ya mere, ọ sịrị, “Abụ m ohu Ebraham.
35 and the Lord hath blessid my lord greetli, and he is maad greet; and God yaf to hym scheep, and oxun, siluer, and gold, seruauntis, and handmaides, camels, and assis.
Onyenwe anyị agọziela nna m ukwu, mee ya ka ọ bụrụ ọgaranya. O nyela ya igwe atụrụ, na igwe ehi, na ọlaọcha na ọlaedo, na ọtụtụ ndị ohu nwoke na nwanyị, na ịnyịnya kamel, na ịnyịnya ibu.
36 And Sare, `the wijf of my lord, childide a sone to my lord in his eelde, and he yaf alle thingis that he hadde to that sone.
Sera nwunye nna m ukwu mụtaara ya otu nwa nwoke mgbe o merela agadi. Ihe niile nna m ukwu nwere ka o nyefere nwa ahụ nʼaka.
37 And my lord chargide me greetli, and seide, Thou schalt not take to my sone a wijf of the douytris of Canaan, in whos lond Y dwelle,
Nna m ukwu mere ka m ṅụọra ya iyi sị, ‘Ị gaghị esite nʼetiti ụmụ ndị inyom Kenan ndị anyị bi nʼala ha lụtara nwa m nwoke nwunye.
38 but thou schalt go to the hous of my fadir, and of myn kynrede thou schalt take a wijf to my sone.
Kama ị ga-aga nʼezinaụlọ nna m, na nke ndị ikwu m chọtara nwa m nwoke nwunye.’
39 Forsothe Y answerde to my lord, What if the womman nyle come with me?
“Mgbe ahụ, ajụrụ m nna m ukwu, ‘Ọ bụrụkwanụ na nwanyị ahụ ekweghị iso m lọghachi?’
40 He seide, The Lord in whose siyt Y go, schal sende his aungel with thee, and he schal dresse thi weie; and thou schalt take a wijf to my sone of my kynrede, and of my fadris hows.
“Ọ sịrị, ‘Onyenwe anyị, onye m na-ejegharị nʼihu ya, ga-eziga mmụọ ozi ya ka o soro gị gaa ime ka ije gị nwee isi, ka i nwee ike chọtara nwa m nwoke nwanyị site nʼetiti ndị ikwu m na ezinaụlọ nna m.
41 Thou schalt be innocent fro my curs, whanne thou comest to my kynesmen, and thei yyuen not `the womman to thee.
Ị ga-abụ onye nwere onwe gị site nʼiyi ị ṅụrụ ma ọ bụrụ na mgbe i gakwuru ndị ikwu m, ha jụrụ ịkpọnye gị nwanyị ahụ. Ị ga-abụ onye nwere onwe gị site nʼiyi ị ṅụrụ m.’
42 Therfor Y cam to day to the welle of watir, and Y seide, Lord God of my lord Abraham, if thou hast dressid my weie in which Y go now, lo!
“Mgbe m rutere nʼisi iyi mmiri taa, ekwuru m sị, ‘Onyenwe anyị Chineke nna m ukwu Ebraham, ọ bụrụ na ọ masị gị, biko mee ka ije a m bịara bụrụ nke ga-aga nke ọma.
43 Y stonde bisidis the welle of watir, and the maide that schal go out to drawe watir herith me, yyue thou to me a litil of water to drynke of thi pot,
Lee, ka m na-eguzo nʼakụkụ isi iyi mmiri a, ka nwaagbọghọ ahụ bịara ikuru mmiri nke m ga-asị, “Biko kwere ka m si nʼite gị ṅụrụtụ ntakịrị mmiri,”
44 and seith to me, And thou drynke, and Y schal drawe watir to thi camels, thilke is the womman which the Lord hath maad redi to the sone of my lord.
ma ọ bụrụ na ọ sị m, “Ṅụọ, aga m ekutekwa mmiri nye ịnyịnya kamel gị ndị a,” ka onye dị otu a bụrụ nwanyị ahụ Onyenwe anyị chọtaara Aịzik nwa nna m ukwu.’
45 While Y turnede in thouyte these thingis with me, Rebecca apperide, comynge with a pot which sche bare in the schuldre; and sche yede doun to the welle, and drowe watir. And Y seide to hir, Yyue thou a litil to me to drynke; and sche hastide,
“Tupu m kpesịa ekpere a nʼobi m, lekwa Ribeka ka o bụ ite mmiri ya nʼubu ya na-abịa. Ọ gbadara nʼisi iyi mmiri ahụ kute mmiri. Asịrị m ya, ‘Biko nye m mmiri ka m ṅụọ.’
46 and dide doun the pot of the schuldre, and seide to me, And thou drynke, and Y schal yyue drynke to thi camels; Y drank, and watride the camels.
“Ngwangwa, o sitere nʼubu ya budata ite, sị m, ‘Ṅụọ, aga m ekutekwa mmiri nke ịnyịnya kamel ndị a ga-aṅụ.’ Ya mere, aṅụrụ m, o nyekwara ịnyịnya kamel m ndị ahụ mmiri ha ṅụrụ.
47 And Y axide hir, and seide, Whos douytir art thou? Which answerde, Y am the douytir of Batuel, sone of Nachor, whom Melcha childide to him. And so Y hangide eere ryngis to ourne hir face, and Y puttide bies of the arm in hir hondis,
“Mgbe ahụ, ajụrụ m ya, ‘Nwa onye ka ị bụ?’ “Ọ sịrị m, ‘Abụ m nwa Betuel onye bụ nwa Nahọ nke Milka mụtaara ya.’ “Mgbe ahụ etinyere m ya mgbanimi ahụ nʼimi ya, tinyekwa ọlaaka ahụ nʼaka ya abụọ.
48 and lowliche Y worschipide the Lord, and Y blessid the Lord God of my lord Abraham, which God ledde me bi riyt weie, that Y schulde take the douytir of the brothir of my lord to his sone.
Ehulatara m ala kpọọ isiala nye Onyenwe anyị. Etoro m Onyenwe anyị, Chineke nke nna m ukwu Ebraham, onye duru m nʼezi ụzọ inweta nwa nwanne nna m ukwu dịka nwunye nwa ya nwoke.
49 Wherfor if ye don mercy and treuthe with `my lord, schewe ye to me; ellis if othir thing plesith, also seie ye this, that Y go to the riyt side ethir to the left side.
Ugbu a, ọ bụrụ na unu ga-egosi nna m ukwu obiọma na ikwesi ntụkwasị obi gwanụ m. Ọ bụrụkwanụ na ọ gaghị esi otu a dịrị, gwanụ m ka m mata ụzọ m ga-agbaso.”
50 Laban and Batuel answeriden, The word is gon out of the Lord; we moun not speke ony other thing with thee without his plesaunce.
Leban na Betuel zara sị ya, “Ihe niile si nʼaka Onyenwe anyị. Anyị enweghị ike ịgwa gị okwu ọjọọ maọbụ nke ọma.
51 Lo! Rebecca is bifore thee; take thou hir, and go forth, and be sche wijf of the sone of thi lord, as the Lord spak.
Lee Ribeka, kpọrọ ya laa, ka ọ bụrụ nwunye nwa nna gị ukwu, dịka Onyenwe anyị kwuru.”
52 And whanne the child of Abraham hadde herd this, he felde doun, and worschipide the Lord in erthe.
Mgbe ohu Ebraham nụrụ ihe ha kwuru, ọ dara nʼala kpọọ isiala nye Onyenwe anyị.
53 And whanne vessels of siluer, and of gold, and clothis weren brouyt forth, he yaf tho to Rebecca for yifte, and he yaf yiftis to hir britheren, and modir.
Mgbe ahụ kwa, ohu ahụ wepụtara ihe ịchọ mma ọlaedo, na ọlaọcha dị iche iche na uwe nye ha Ribeka. Ọ wepụtakwara onyinye ndị ọzọ dị oke ọnụahịa nye nwanne ya nwoke na nne ya.
54 And whanne a feeste was maad, thei eeten and drunken to gider, and dwelliden there. Forsothe the child roos eerli, and spak, Delyuere ye me, that Y go to my lord.
Emesịa, mgbe ihe ndị a gasịrị, ya na ndị ikom so ya riri, ṅụọ, dinaakwa nʼabalị ahụ. Mgbe ha si nʼụra teta, o kwuru sị, “Zilaga m ka m lakwuru nna m ukwu.”
55 Hir britheren and modir answerden, The damesele dwelle nameli ten daies at vs, and aftirward sche schal go forth.
Ma Leban na nne ya zara sị ya, “Ka nwantakịrị nwanyị a nọnyere anyị ihe dịka ụbọchị iri tupu o soro gị laa.”
56 The child seide, Nyle ye holde me, for the Lord hath dressid my weie; delyuere ye me, that I go to my lord.
Ma ọ zara ha sị, “Unu egbochila anyị. Ebe ọ bụ na Onyenwe anyị emeela ka ije m bụrụ ihe gara nke ọma, zilaga m ka m laghachikwuru nna m ukwu.”
57 And thei seiden, Clepe we the damysele, and axe we hir wille.
Ha zara sị ya, “Ka anyị kpọọ nwantakịrị nwanyị ahụ jụọ ya ihe bụ uche ya.”
58 And whanne sche was clepid, and cam, thei axiden, Wolt thou go with this man?
Ya mere ha kpọrọ Ribeka jụọ ya sị, “Ị ga-eso nwoke a gaa?” Ọ zara sị, “E, aga m aga.”
59 And sche seide, Y schal go. Therfor they delyueriden hir, and hir nurse, and the seruaunt of Abraham, and hise felowis, and wischiden prosperitees to her sister,
Ya mere, ha zipụrụ nwanne ha nwanyị Ribeka, tinyere nwanyị lekọtara ya anya mgbe ọ dị na nwantakịrị, na ohu Ebraham na ndị ikom so ya.
60 and seiden, Thou art oure sister, encreesse thou in to a thousand thousandis, and thi seed gete the yatis of hise enemyes.
Ha gọziri Ribeka sị ya, “Nwanne anyị nwanyị mụọ ọmụmụ, mụruo puku kwụrụ puku, ka mkpụrụ afọ gị nwetara onwe ha, ọnụ ụzọ ama ndị iro ha.”
61 Therfor Rebecca and hir damesels stieden on the camels, and sueden the man, which turnede ayen hasteli to his lord.
Ribeka biliri, ya na ndị inyom na-ejere ya ozi, ha rigoro nʼelu ịnyịnya kamel ndị ahụ, soro nwoke ahụ. Ya mere, ohu ahụ duuru Ribeka laa.
62 In that tyme Ysaac walkide bi the weie that ledith to the pit, whos name is of hym that lyueth and seeth; for he dwellide in the south lond.
Nʼoge a, Aịzik bịara nʼebe mbata obodo Bịa-Lahai-Rọị nʼihi na o bi na Negev.
63 And he yede out to thenke in the feeld, for the dai was `bowid thanne; and whanne he hadde reisid the iyen, he seiy camels comynge afer.
Aịzik pụtara ịtụgharị uche nʼọhịa nʼoge uhuruchi. Ọ lepụrụ anya hụ ọtụtụ ịnyịnya kamel na-abịanụ.
64 And whanne Ysaac was seyn, Rebecca liyte doun of the camel,
Ribeka nʼonwe ya lepụkwara anya hụ Aịzik. O sitere nʼelu ịnyịnya kamel rịdata,
65 and seide to the child, Who is that man that cometh bi the feeld in to the metyng of vs? And the child seide to hir, He is my lord. And sche took soone a mentil, and hilide hir.
jụọ ohu ahụ sị, “Onye bụ nwoke a si nʼọhịa na-abịa izute anyị?” Ohu ahụ zara sị ya, “Ọ bụ nna m ukwu” Nʼihi nke a, Ribeka weere akwa mkpudo ya kpuchie ihu ya.
66 Forsothe the seruaunt tolde to his lord Ysaac alle thingis whiche he hadde do;
Ohu ahụ kọọrọ Aịzik akụkọ otu ije ya niile si gaa.
67 which Ysaac ledde hir in to the tabernacle of Sare, his modir, and took hir to wijf; and so myche he louede hir, that he temperide the sorewe which bifelde of the deeth of the modir.
Aịzik kpọbatara Ribeka nʼụlọ ikwu Sera, nne ya. Ọ lụrụ Ribeka, onye ghọrọ nwunye ya. Aịzik hụrụ ya nʼanya, ma nweta nkasiobi nʼihi ọnwụ nne ya.
