< Genesis 24 >

1 And Abraham [is] old, he hath entered into days, and Jehovah hath blessed Abraham in all [things];
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 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,
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 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;
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 but unto my land and unto my kindred dost thou go, and hast taken a wife for my son, for Isaac.'
Ka te ke ʻalu ki hoku fonua, ki hoku kāinga, mo ke fili mai ha uaifi ki hoku foha ko ʻAisake.”
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?'
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 And Abraham saith unto him, 'Take heed to thyself, lest thou cause my son to turn back thither;
Pea talaange ʻe ʻEpalahame kiate ia, “Vakai, ʻoua ʻaupito naʻa ke toe ʻave hoku foha ki ai.
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;
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 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.'
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 And the servant putteth his hand under the thigh of Abraham his lord, and sweareth to him concerning this 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 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;
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 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.
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 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;
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 lo, I am standing by the fountain of water, and daughters of the men of the city are coming out to draw 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 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.'
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 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,
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 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.
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 And the servant runneth to meet her, and saith, 'Let me swallow, I pray thee, a little water from thy pitcher;'
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 and she saith, 'Drink, my lord;' and she hasteth, and letteth down her pitcher upon her hand, and giveth him 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 And she finisheth giving him drink, and saith, 'Also for thy camels I draw till they have finished drinking;'
Pea hili ʻene fakainu ia, pea pehē ʻe ia, “Te u utu ki hoʻo fanga kāmeli foki ke ʻoua ke nau fiu.”
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.
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 And the man, wondering at her, remaineth silent, to know whether Jehovah hath made his way prosperous 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 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),
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 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?'
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 And she saith unto him, 'I [am] daughter of Bethuel, son of Milcah, whom she hath borne to Nahor.'
Pea ne pehē kiate ia, “Ko e ʻofefine au ʻo Petueli ko e tama ʻa Milika, ʻaia naʻa ne fāʻeleʻi kia Nehoa.”
25 She saith also unto him, 'Both straw and provender [are] abundant with us, also a place to lodge in.'
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 And the man boweth, and doth obeisance to Jehovah,
Pea tulolo hifo ʻae tangata hono ʻulu, pea hū ia kia Sihova.
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.'
‌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 And the young person runneth, and declareth to the house of her mother according to these words.
Pea naʻe lele ʻae taʻahine, ʻo fakahā ki he fale ʻo ʻene faʻē, ʻae ngaahi meʻa ni.
29 And Rebekah hath a brother, and his name [is] Laban, and Laban runneth unto the man who [is] without, unto the fountain;
Pea naʻe ʻi ai ʻae tuongaʻane ʻo Lepeka ko Lepani hono hingoa; pea lele kituʻa ʻa Lepani ki he tangata, ʻi he vaikeli.
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.
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 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!'
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 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:
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 and setteth before him to eat; but he saith, 'I do not eat till I have spoken my word;' and he saith, 'Speak.'
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 And he saith, 'I [am] Abraham's servant;
Pea ne pehē ʻe ia, “Ko e tamaioʻeiki au ʻa ʻEpalahame,
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;
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 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.
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 '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.
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 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 ke ʻalu ki he fale ʻo ʻeku tamai mo hoku kāinga, ʻo ʻomi mei ai ha uaifi ki hoku foha.
39 'And I say unto my lord, It may be the woman doth not come after me;
Pea naʻaku pehē ki heʻeku ʻeiki, ‘Ka e fēfē ʻoka ʻikai fie haʻu ʻae fefine mo au?’
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;
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 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.
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 '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 —
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 (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,
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 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.
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 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,
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 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.
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 '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,
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 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.
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 '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.'
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 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;
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 lo, Rebekah [is] before thee, take and go, and she is a wife to thy lord's son, as Jehovah hath spoken.'
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 And it cometh to pass, when the servant of Abraham hath heard their words, that he boweth himself towards the earth before Jehovah;
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 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.
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 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;'
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 and her brother saith — her mother also — 'Let the young person abide with us a week or ten days, afterwards doth she 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 And he saith unto them, 'Do not delay me, seeing Jehovah hath prospered my way; send me away, and I go to my lord;'
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 and they say, 'Let us call for the young person, and ask at her mouth;'
Pea naʻa na pehē, “Te ma ui ʻae taʻahine ʻo fehuʻi mei hono ngutu.”
58 and they call for Rebekah, and say unto her, 'Dost thou go with this man?' and she saith, 'I 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 And they send away Rebekah their sister, and her nurse, and Abraham's servant, and his men;
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 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.'
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 And Rebekah and her young women arise, and ride on the camels, and go after the man; and the servant taketh Rebekah and goeth.
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 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,
Ka naʻe haʻu ʻa ʻAisake ʻi he hala mei he vai ko Lehai-Loʻai; he naʻa ne nofo ʻi he potu tonga.
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.
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 And Rebekah lifteth up her eyes, and seeth Isaac, and alighteth from 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 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.
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 And the servant recounteth to Isaac all the things that he hath done,
Pea naʻe fakamatala ʻe he tamaioʻeiki kia ʻAisake ʻae ngaahi meʻa kotoa pē naʻa ne fai.
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.
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.
