Genesis 24
1 And Abraham [is] old, he hath entered into days, and Jehovah hath blessed Abraham in all [things];
Abraham teh a kumcue teh a matawng poung toe. BAWIPA ni Abraham teh hno pueng dawk yawhawi a poe.
2 and Abraham saith unto his servant, the eldest of his house, who is ruling over all that he hath, 'Put, I pray thee, thy hand under my thigh,
Abraham ni a san, a imthungkhu thung dawk kacue poung lah a tawn e naw pueng lathueng vah kâ ka tawn poung e koevah, pahren lahoi na kut hah ka phai rahak vah tat haw,
3 and I cause thee to swear by Jehovah, God of the heavens, and God of the earth, that thou dost not take a wife for my son from the daughters of the Canaanite, in the midst of whom I am dwelling;
kai teh ahnimouh rahak kho ka sak ei, Kanaan tanglanaw heh ka capa hane a yu lah lat hanh.
4 but unto my land and unto my kindred dost thou go, and hast taken a wife for my son, for Isaac.'
Hateiteh, ka miphunnaw koe, ka hmaunawnghanaw e im dawk cet nateh ka capa Isak hanelah a yu na paluen pouh han telah ati.
5 And the servant saith unto him, 'It may be the woman is not willing to come after me unto this land; do I at all cause thy son to turn back unto the land from whence thou camest out?'
A san ni ahni koe, Napui ni hete ram dawk tho ngai hoehpawiteh, na capa heh na thonae ram dawkvah ka ceikhai han na maw, telah ati.
6 And Abraham saith unto him, 'Take heed to thyself, lest thou cause my son to turn back thither;
Abraham ni ahni koe, ka capa heh haw ceikhai hoeh nahanlah kâhruetcuet.
7 Jehovah, God of the heavens, who hath taken me from the house of my father, and from the land of my birth, and who hath spoken to me, and who hath sworn to me, saying, To thy seed I give this land, He doth send His messenger before thee, and thou hast taken a wife for my son from thence;
Hete ram heh na ca catounnaw ka poe han telah kai koe lawk ka kam, kalvan e BAWIPA Cathut ni apa im hoi ka tâconae ram dawk hoi na kalatkung ni na hmalah kalvantami a patoun vaiteh hote hmuen dawk e ka capa hanlah a yu na paluen pouh han.
8 and if the woman be not willing to come after thee, then thou hast been acquitted from this mine oath: only my son thou dost not cause to turn back thither.'
Hote napui ni kâbang ngai hoehpawiteh, kai koevah thoebonae dawk hoi nang teh na hlout han. Ka capa teh haw na cetkhai mahoeh telah atipouh.
9 And the servant putteth his hand under the thigh of Abraham his lord, and sweareth to him concerning this matter.
Hottelah a san ni a bawipa e a tangka vah a kut a ta teh, hote kong dawk thoe a kâbo.
10 And the servant taketh ten camels of the camels of his lord and goeth, also of all the goods of his lord in his hand, and he riseth, and goeth unto Aram-Naharaim, unto the city of Nahor;
A san ni a bawipa e kalauk thung dawk hoi hra touh a hrawi teh, a bawipa e hnokahawi phunkuep hah a sin teh a kamthaw. Hottelah a kamthaw teh Mesopotamia ram e Nahor kho lah a cei.
11 and he causeth the camels to kneel at the outside of the city, at the well of water, at even-time, at the time of the coming out of the women who draw water.
Tangmin lah napuinaw tui do hanlah thonae tueng dawkvah, longkha teng e tuikhu koe a kalauknaw a kamkawn sak.
12 And he saith, 'Jehovah, God of my lord Abraham, cause to meet, I pray Thee, before me this day — (and do kindness with my lord Abraham;
Ahni ni, Oe BAWIPA Cathut, pahren lahoi sahnin vah, ka bawipa, Abraham koevah na lungmanae kamnuek sak nateh na kuep sak haw.
13 lo, I am standing by the fountain of water, and daughters of the men of the city are coming out to draw water;
Khenhaw! tuikhu koevah ka kangdue. Khothung e a canunaw hai tui do hanlah a tho awh toe.
14 and it hath been, the young person unto whom I say, Incline, I pray thee, thy pitcher, and I drink, and she hath said, Drink, and I water also thy camels) — her Thou hast decided for Thy servant, for Isaac; and by it I know that Thou hast done kindness with my lord.'
Hettelah awm naseh, tangla koe pahren lahoi tui ka nei hanlah tuium hah patue sak haw, ka ti navah, ahni ni net leih, na kalauknaw a nei hanlah ka poe han telah ka tet e teh na san Isak hanlah na hmoun pouh e lah awm naseh. Hottelahoi ka bawipa koe lungmanae na kamnue sak tie hah ka panue thai han telah ati.
15 And it cometh to pass, before he hath finished speaking, that lo, Rebekah (who was born to Bethuel, son of Milcah, wife of Nahor, brother of Abraham) is coming out, and her pitcher on her shoulder,
Hahoi, lawk koung a dei hoehnahlan vah, Abraham e a nawngha Nahor e a yu Milkah capa Bethuel canu Rebekah teh a loung dawk tuium thueng hoi a tho.
16 and the young person [is] of very good appearance, a virgin, and a man hath not known her; and she goeth down to the fountain, and filleth her pitcher, and cometh up.
Tangla teh a meihawipoung. Thoundoun ni a ikhai hoeh rae tanglakacuem lah ao. Tuikhu koe a cathuk teh tuium tui yikkawi a do hnukkhu, a takhang.
17 And the servant runneth to meet her, and saith, 'Let me swallow, I pray thee, a little water from thy pitcher;'
Sanpa ni ahni kâhmo hanlah a yawng teh, pahren lahoi na tuium dawk e tui youn touh na pânei haw telah atipouh.
18 and she saith, 'Drink, my lord;' and she hasteth, and letteth down her pitcher upon her hand, and giveth him drink.
Napui ni net leih ka bawipa telah atipouh. Karang poung lah a tuium teh a loung dawk hoi a patue teh tui a pânei.
19 And she finisheth giving him drink, and saith, 'Also for thy camels I draw till they have finished drinking;'
Tui a pânei hnukkhu, na kalauknaw hanlah hai tui a boum awh hoehroukrak boutbout ka do han telah atipouh.
20 and she hasteth, and emptieth her pitcher into the drinking-trough, and runneth again unto the well to draw, and draweth for all his camels.
Karang poung lah tui teh dokko dawk a hlun teh tui bout do hanlah tuikhu koe lah a cathuk teh kalauknaw pueng hanelah tui a do pouh.
21 And the man, wondering at her, remaineth silent, to know whether Jehovah hath made his way prosperous or not.
Tongpa ni lawkkamuem hoi a khet teh, BAWIPA ni kahlawng ka ceinae a lam a kâko sak vaiteh akuep sak hoi kakuep sak hoeh hane panue hane a ngai dawk lawkkamuem lah ao.
22 And it cometh to pass when the camels have finished drinking, that the man taketh a golden ring (whose weight [is] a bekah), and two bracelets for her hands (whose weight [is] ten [bekahs] of gold),
Kalauknaw ni tui koung a nei awh hnukkhu vah, hnongpacap hoi sui kuthrawt sekel hra touh ka ri e hah a poe.
23 and saith, 'Whose daughter [art] thou? declare to me, I pray thee, is the house of thy father a place for us to lodge in?'
Ahni koevah, nang apie canu maw. Pahren lahoi na dei pouh haw. na Pa im dawk ka roe nahanlah rakhan ao han na ou, telah ati.
24 And she saith unto him, 'I [am] daughter of Bethuel, son of Milcah, whom she hath borne to Nahor.'
Napui ni ahni koevah, Milkah ni Nahor hanlah a khe pouh e Bethuel canu doeh telah atipouh.
25 She saith also unto him, 'Both straw and provender [are] abundant with us, also a place to lodge in.'
Napui ni hothloilah, caphon hoi saring e rawca moi ka tawn awh. Roenae rakhan haiyah ka tawn awh telah ati.
26 And the man boweth, and doth obeisance to Jehovah,
Hat toteh, a san ni a lûsaling teh BAWIPA hah a bawk.
27 and saith, 'Blessed [is] Jehovah, God of my lord Abraham, who hath not left off His kindness and His truth with my lord; — I [being] in the way, Jehovah hath led me to the house of my lord's brethren.'
Ahni ni, ka bawipa lathueng vah a lungmanae hoi hawinae ka pout thai hoeh e, ka bawipa Abraham e BAWIPA Cathut teh pholen lah awm naseh. Kai patenghai BAWIPA ni ka bawipa e a hmaunawnghanaw e im dawk na ceikhai tangngak telah ati.
28 And the young person runneth, and declareth to the house of her mother according to these words.
Tangla ni a yawng teh hno kaawmnaw hah a manu imthungkhu hah a dei pouh.
29 And Rebekah hath a brother, and his name [is] Laban, and Laban runneth unto the man who [is] without, unto the fountain;
Rebekah ni a thangroi a tawn. Ahnie min teh Laban doeh. Laban a tâco teh tuikhu koelah hote tongpa koevah a yawng.
30 yea, it cometh to pass, when he seeth the ring, and the bracelets on the hands of his sister, and when he heareth the words of Rebekah his sister, saying, 'Thus hath the man spoken unto me,' that he cometh in unto the man, and lo, he is standing by the camels by the fountain.
Hahoi, hnongpacap hoi a tawncanu e a kut dawk e a buet e a hmu nah, tongpa ni hottelah na dei pouh telah a tawncanu ni a dei e a thai toteh, tongpa koevah a cei. Ahni teh tuikhu koe e kalauknaw rahak vah kangdout e hah a hmu.
31 And he saith, 'Come in, O blessed one of Jehovah, why standest thou without, and I — I have prepared the house and place for the camels!'
Laban ni, BAWIPA ni yawhawi a poe e tho nateh, kaie im dawk luenh. Bangkongmaw alawilah na kangdue Bangkongtetpawiteh, im hoi kalauknaw hanlah hmuen teh koung ka rakueng toe telah atipouh.
32 And he bringeth in the man into the house, and looseth the camels, and giveth straw and provender for the camels, and water to wash his feet, and the feet of the men who [are] with him:
Tongpa ni imthung a kâen teh Laban ni kalauk van e hnonaw a patue pouh. Hahoi, kalauk hanlah caphon hoi rawca hah a poe teh, ama hoi a huinaw hanelah khok pâsu nahanlah tui a poe.
33 and setteth before him to eat; but he saith, 'I do not eat till I have spoken my word;' and he saith, 'Speak.'
Ca hane rawca a hmalah a pâtoum pouh. Hateiteh, ahni ni, ka tho ngainae ka dei hoehroukrak ka cat mahoeh telah atipouh. Ahnimouh ni dei yawkaw telah atipouh.
34 And he saith, 'I [am] Abraham's servant;
Ahni ni kai teh Abraham e a san doeh.
35 and Jehovah hath blessed my lord exceedingly, and he is great; and He giveth to him flock, and herd, and silver, and gold, and men-servants, and maid-servants, and camels, and asses;
BAWIPA ni ka bawipa teh yawhawi a poe dawk moi a tawnta. BAWIPA ni ahni koevah tunaw, maitonaw, tangka hoi sui, san napui tongpa, kalauknaw, lanaw hah a poe.
36 and Sarah, my lord's wife, beareth a son to my lord, after she hath been aged, and he giveth to him all that he hath.
Ka bawipa e a yu Sarah ni a matawng hnukkhu, capa buet touh a khe pouh teh a tawn e naw pueng teh ahni koevah a poe.
37 'And my lord causeth me to swear, saying, Thou dost not take a wife to my son from the daughters of the Canaanite, in whose land I am dwelling.
Hahoi, ka bawipa ni ka onae Kanaan tanglanaw hah ka capa hanelah a yu lah na paluen pouh mahoeh.
38 If not — unto the house of my father thou dost go, and unto my family, and thou hast taken a wife for my son.
Ka im vah, ka hmaunawnghanaw koe cet nateh ka capa hanelah a yu paluen pouh telah lawk na kam sak.
39 'And I say unto my lord, It may be the woman doth not come after me;
Ka bawipa koe napui ni kâbang ngai laipalah ao thai telah ka ti pouh.
40 and he saith unto me, Jehovah, before whom I have walked habitually, doth send His messenger with thee, and hath prospered thy way, and thou hast taken a wife for my son from my family, and from the house of my father;
Ahni ni kai koevah, a hmalah ouk ka onae BAWIPA ni a kalvantami nang koevah a patoun vaiteh, na ceinae koe a lamcawn sak han. Hottelah ka hmaunawnghanaw hoi apa imthungkhunaw koehoi ka capa hanlah a yu na paluen pouh.
41 then art thou acquitted from my oath, when thou comest unto my family, and if they give not [one] to thee; then thou hast been acquitted from my oath.
Ka hmaunawnghanaw koe na pha nah napui na poe ngai hoeh boipawiteh, hete lawkkamnae dawk hoi na hlout han telah ati.
42 'And I come to-day unto the fountain, and I say, Jehovah, God of my lord Abraham, if Thou art, I pray Thee, making prosperous my way in which I am going —
Sahnin vah tuikhu koe ka pha teh, Oe, ka bawipa Abraham e BAWIPA Cathut, ka ceinae koe a lam na cawn sak han pawiteh,
43 (lo, I am standing by the fountain of water), then the virgin who is coming out to draw, and I have said unto her, Let me drink, I pray thee, a little water from thy pitcher,
Tuikhu koevah ka kangdue teh tui do hanlah ka tho e tanglakacuem apipatet koe haiyah, pahren lahoi tuium dawk e tui youn touh na pânei haw telah ka ti navah,
44 and she hath said unto me, Both drink thou, and also for thy camels I draw — she is the woman whom Jehovah hath decided for my lord's son.
Napui ni kai koevah, net haw. Na kalauknaw hanlah tui ka do han telah a ka tet e tami teh, ka bawipa e a capa hanlah BAWIPA ni a hmoun e lah awm naseh telah ka ti.
45 'Before I finish speaking unto my heart, then lo, Rebekah is coming out, and her pitcher on her shoulder, and she goeth down to the fountain, and draweth; and I say unto her, Let me drink, I pray thee,
Khenhaw! hottelah, ka lungthin hoi koung ka dei hoehnahlan vah, Rebekah teh tuium hoi a tho. Tuikhu koe a cathuk teh tui a do. Hahoi, ahni koevah, pahren lahoi tui na net sak haw telah ka ti.
46 and she hasteth and letteth down her pitcher from off her and saith, Drink, and thy camels also I water; and I drink, and the camels also she hath watered.
Ahni ni a loung dawk e tuium hah a patue teh tui net leih. Na kalauknaw hai tui pânei leih telah ati. Hatdawkvah, tui ka nei teh, kalauknaw tui a nei han haiyah a poe.
47 'And I ask her, and say, Whose daughter [art] thou? and she saith, Daughter of Bethuel, son of Nahor, whom Milcah hath borne to him, and I put the ring on her nose, and the bracelets on her hands,
Kai ni nang apie canu maw telah ka pacei Ahni ni, Milkah ni a khe e Nahor e capa Bethuel e canu doeh telah ati. Hatdawkvah, a hnawng dawk hnongpacap ka bang pouh teh a kut dawk hai laikaw ka buet sak.
48 and I bow, and do obeisance before Jehovah, and I bless Jehovah, God of my lord Abraham, who hath led me in the true way to receive the daughter of my lord's brother for his son.
Ka lûsaling laihoi BAWIPA hah ka bawk teh, ka bawipa Abraham e BAWIPA Cathut, ka bawipa e a nawngha e canu, a capa hane a yu paluen pouh hane lamkatang dawk na kahrawikung hah ka pholen.
49 'And now, if ye are dealing kindly and truly with my lord, declare to me; and if not, declare to me; and I turn unto the right or unto the left.'
Atuvah ka bawipa lathueng vah lungmanae hoi lawkkatang na kamnue sak hanelah awm pawiteh, na dei pouh haw. Hottelah hoeh nakunghai, kai koe vah na dei pouh awh haw. Hat to doeh, avoilah hai, aranglah hai ka kamlang thai tih telah ati.
50 And Laban answereth — Bethuel also — and they say, 'The thing hath gone out from Jehovah; we are not able to speak unto thee bad or good;
Laban hoi Bethuel ni a pathung teh hete hno heh BAWIPA koehoi ka tâcawt e doeh. Ahawi thoseh, a thoe thoseh ka dei thai a hoeh.
51 lo, Rebekah [is] before thee, take and go, and she is a wife to thy lord's son, as Jehovah hath spoken.'
Khenhaw! Rebekah teh na hmaitung doeh ao. Hrawi nateh cetkhaih. BAWIPA ni a dei tangcoung e patetlah na bawipa e a capa e a yu lah awm naseh, telah atipouh.
52 And it cometh to pass, when the servant of Abraham hath heard their words, that he boweth himself towards the earth before Jehovah;
Hahoi, Abraham e a sanpa ni ahnimae lawk a thai navah, talai a tabo teh BAWIPA hah a bawk.
53 and the servant taketh out vessels of silver, and vessels of gold, and garments, and giveth to Rebekah; precious things also he hath given to her brother and to her mother.
Hatdawkvah, Abraham e a sanpa ni kamthoupnae suingun hoi hnicu a rasa teh Rebekah hah a poe. A thangroi hoi a manu hai aphu kaawm e hno hah a poe.
54 And they eat and drink, he and the men who [are] with him, and lodge all night; and they rise in the morning, and he saith, 'Send me to my lord;'
Ahni hoi a huinaw teh a canei awh teh, hote tangmin teh a roe awh. Amom a thaw teh ka bawipa koe na cetsak awh, telah ati.
55 and her brother saith — her mother also — 'Let the young person abide with us a week or ten days, afterwards doth she go.'
Hateiteh, a thangroi hoi a manu ni, napuica teh hnin dongdeng, hnin hra touh thung teh kaimouh koe awm sak ei, hahoi ka ceisak han telah atipouh awh.
56 And he saith unto them, 'Do not delay me, seeing Jehovah hath prospered my way; send me away, and I go to my lord;'
Ahni ni ahnimouh koevah, na haw awh hanh leih. BAWIPA ni ka ceinae dawk a lamcawn sak e patetlah ka bawipa koevah ka ban thai nahanlah na cetsak awh.
57 and they say, 'Let us call for the young person, and ask at her mouth;'
Ahnimouh ni, napuica kaw awh vaiteh, amae pahni ring awh ei sei telah ati awh.
58 and they call for Rebekah, and say unto her, 'Dost thou go with this man?' and she saith, 'I go.'
Rebekah hah a kaw awh teh, hete tongpa koe na cei han maw telah a pacei awh. Napui ni ka cei han telah ati.
59 And they send away Rebekah their sister, and her nurse, and Abraham's servant, and his men;
Hatdawkvah, a tawncanu Rebekah hoi kaawmkhai e, Abraham e a san hoi a hnukkâbang teh a ceisak awh.
60 and they bless Rebekah, and say to her, 'Thou [art] our sister; become thou thousands of myriads, and thy seed doth possess the gate of those hating it.'
Hahoi ahnimouh ni Rebekah, ka tawncanu, nang teh tami a thongsang e manu lah na awm naseh, Na ca catounnaw ni a tarannaw e longkhanaw hah uk awh naseh telah yawhawi a poe awh.
61 And Rebekah and her young women arise, and ride on the camels, and go after the man; and the servant taketh Rebekah and goeth.
Rebekah ni a tho teh a sannunaw hoi kalauk van a kâcui teh tongpa hnuk a kâbang. Hahoi, Abraham e a san ni Rebekah hah a hrawi.
62 And Isaac hath come in from the entrance of the Well of the Living One, my Beholder; and he is dwelling in the land of the south,
Isak teh Beerlahairoi koe lahoi a tho. Bangkongtetpawiteh, akalah kaawm e doeh.
63 and Isaac goeth out to meditate in the field, at the turning of the evening, and he lifteth up his eyes, and looketh, and lo, camels are coming.
Tangminlasa vah Isak teh khopouk hanlah law lah a cei teh radoung teh a khet nah kalauk a tho e hah a hmu.
64 And Rebekah lifteth up her eyes, and seeth Isaac, and alighteth from off the camel;
Rebekah ni a khet teh Isak a hmu toteh, kalauk van hoi a kum.
65 and she saith unto the servant, 'Who [is] this man who is walking in the field to meet us?' and the servant saith, 'It [is] my lord;' and she taketh the veil, and covereth herself.
Bangkongtetpawiteh, a san koevah, law dawkvah maimouh dawn hanlah ka tho e tami teh apimaw, telah yo a pacei toe. A san ni ka bawipa doeh telah atipouh. Hatdawkvah, minhmai ramuknae hni a la teh a minhmai hah a ramuk.
66 And the servant recounteth to Isaac all the things that he hath done,
A san ni a sak e naw pueng Isak koevah a dei pouh.
67 and Isaac bringeth her in unto the tent of Sarah his mother, and he taketh Rebekah, and she becometh his wife, and he loveth her, and Isaac is comforted after [the death of] his mother.
Isak ni Rebekah teh a manu Sarah e lukkareiim dawk a kâenkhai. A yu lah a coung teh a lungpataw. Hatdawkvah, a manu a due hnukkhu vah, Isak teh a lungmawng.
