< Kĩambĩrĩria 24 >
1 Na rĩrĩ, Iburahĩmu aarĩ mũkũrũ na agatindĩka mĩaka. Nake Jehova nĩamũrathimĩte maũndũ-inĩ make mothe.
And Abraham was old, [and] well stricken in age: and the LORD had blessed Abraham in all things.
2 Nake akĩĩra ndungata ĩrĩa yarĩ nene mũciĩ-inĩ wake, o ĩrĩa yarũgamĩrĩire indo ciothe iria aarĩ nacio atĩrĩ, “Ta iga guoko gwaku rungu rwa kĩero gĩakwa.
And Abraham said unto his eldest servant of his house, that ruled over all that he had, Put, I pray thee, thy hand under my thigh:
3 Nĩngwenda wĩhĩte na rĩĩtwa rĩa Jehova, o we Ngai wa igũrũ na Ngai wa thĩ, atĩ ndũgethera mũrũ wakwa mũtumia kuuma kũrĩ airĩtu a Akaanani aya ndũũraga thĩinĩ wao,
And I will make thee swear by the LORD, the God of heaven, and the God of the earth, that thou shalt not take a wife unto my son of the daughters of the Canaanites, among whom I dwell:
4 no nĩũgathiĩ bũrũri-inĩ wakwa na kũrĩ andũ a nyũmba iitũ, na wethere mũrũ wakwa Isaaka mũtumia kũu.”
But thou shalt go unto my country, and to my kindred, and take a wife unto my son Isaac.
5 Ndungata ĩyo ĩkĩmũũria atĩrĩ, “Ĩ mũndũ-wa-nja ũcio angĩkaarega gũũka na niĩ bũrũri-inĩ ũyũ? Ngaacookia mũrũguo bũrũri ũrĩa woimire?”
And the servant said unto him, Peradventure the woman will not be willing to follow me unto this land: must I needs bring thy son again unto the land from whence thou camest?
6 Iburahĩmu akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Menyerera, ndũkanacookie mũrũ wakwa kũu!
And Abraham said unto him, Beware thou that thou bring not my son thither again.
7 Jehova, o we Ngai wa igũrũ ũrĩa wandutire kuuma nyũmba ya baba na kuuma bũrũri ũrĩa ndaciarĩirwo na akĩnjarĩria na akĩnjĩĩra na mwĩhĩtwa atĩrĩ, ‘Rũciaro rwaku nĩngarũhe bũrũri ũyũ’ we nĩwe ũgaatũma mũraika wake mbere yaku nĩguo ũkoonera mũrũ wakwa mũtumia kuuma kuo.
The LORD God of heaven, which took me from my father’s house, and from the land of my kindred, and which spake unto me, and that sware unto me, saying, Unto thy seed will I give this land; he shall send his angel before thee, and thou shalt take a wife unto my son from thence.
8 Mũndũ-wa-nja ũcio angĩkaarega gũũka nawe-rĩ, ndũkoohwo nĩ mwĩhĩtwa ũyũ wakwa; no ndũkanacookie mũrũ wakwa kũu.”
And if the woman will not be willing to follow thee, then thou shalt be clear from this my oath: only bring not my son thither again.
9 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio ndungata ĩyo ĩkĩiga guoko kwayo rungu rwa kĩero kĩa Iburahĩmu ũcio mwathi wayo, na ĩkĩĩhĩta na mwĩhĩtwa harĩ we kũringana na ũhoro ũcio.
And the servant put his hand under the thigh of Abraham his master, and sware to him concerning that matter.
10 Ndungata ĩyo ĩgĩcooka ĩkĩoya ngamĩĩra ikũmi cia mwathi wayo na ĩkiumagara ĩkuĩte mĩthemba yothe ya indo njega kuuma kũrĩ mwathi wayo. Ĩgĩthiĩ ĩgĩkinya itũũra rĩrĩa Nahoru aatũũraga mwena wa gathigathini-ithũĩro wa Mesopotamia.
And the servant took ten camels of the camels of his master, and departed; for all the goods of his master [were] in his hand: and he arose, and went to Mesopotamia, unto the city of Nahor.
11 Nayo ĩgĩtũma ngamĩĩra ikome nja ya itũũra hakuhĩ na gĩthima kĩa maaĩ; kwarĩ kĩhwaĩ-inĩ rĩrĩa andũ-a-nja maathiiaga gũtaha maaĩ.
And he made his camels to kneel down without the city by a well of water at the time of the evening, [even] the time that women go out to draw [water].
12 Ĩgĩcooka ĩkĩhooya, ĩkiuga atĩrĩ, “Wee Jehova, Ngai wa Iburahĩmu mwathi wakwa, tũma ngaacĩre ũmũthĩ na ũtuge mwathi wakwa Iburahĩmu.
And he said, O LORD God of my master Abraham, I pray thee, send me good speed this day, and shew kindness unto my master Abraham.
13 Rora, ndũgamĩte haha gĩthima-inĩ kĩa maaĩ, nao airĩtu a ene itũũra nĩ maroka gũtaha maaĩ.
Behold, I stand [here] by the well of water; and the daughters of the men of the city come out to draw water:
14 Kũrotuĩka atĩrĩ, atĩ rĩrĩa ndĩrĩĩra mũirĩtu atĩrĩ, ‘Ndakũhooya, he ndigithũ yaku nyue maaĩ,’ nake oige atĩrĩ, ‘Nyua na nĩngũtahĩra o na ngamĩĩra ciaku,’ reke ũcio atuĩke nĩwe ũthuurĩire ndungata yaku Isaaka. Na ũndũ ũcio ũtũme niĩ menye atĩ nĩũtugĩte mwathi wakwa.”
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 thereby shall I know that thou hast shewed kindness unto my master.
15 Ĩtanarĩkia kũhooya-rĩ, Rebeka agĩũka akuuĩte ndigithũ kĩande-inĩ. Aarĩ mũirĩtu wa Bethueli mũrũ wa Milika, ũrĩa warĩ mũtumia wa Nahoru mũrũ wa nyina na Iburahĩmu.
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.
16 Mũirĩtu ũcio aarĩ mũthaka mũno, mũirĩtu gathirange; gũtirĩ mũndũ mũrũme wakomete nake. Agĩikũrũka gĩthima-inĩ kĩa maaĩ, akĩiyũria ndigithũ yake maaĩ, agĩcooka akĩambata rĩngĩ.
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 Nayo ndungata ĩyo ĩkĩhiũha ĩkamũtũnge, na ĩkĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Ndagũthaitha, he tũũĩ tũnini twa kũnyua kuuma ndigithũ-inĩ yaku.”
And the servant ran to meet her, and said, Let me, I pray thee, drink a little water of thy pitcher.
18 Nake agĩcookia atĩrĩ, “Mwathi wakwa, nyua,” nake akĩruta ndigithũ mũtwe na ihenya, akĩmĩnyiita na moko, na akĩmũhe maaĩ.
And she said, Drink, my lord: and she hasted, and let down her pitcher upon her hand, and gave him drink.
19 Na aarĩkia kũmũhe maaĩ ma kũnyua, agĩcooka akiuga atĩrĩ, “Nĩngũtahĩra ngamĩĩra ciaku, o nacio o nginya ciiganie kũnyua.”
And when she had done giving him drink, she said, I will draw [water] for thy camels also, until they have done drinking.
20 Agĩkĩonoreria maaĩ marĩa maarĩ ndigithũ yake mũharatĩ-inĩ na ihenya, agĩcooka agĩtengʼera gĩthima-inĩ gũtaha maaĩ mangĩ, agĩtaha ma kũigana ngamĩĩra ciake ciothe.
And she hasted, and emptied her pitcher into the trough, and ran again unto the well to draw [water], and drew for all his camels.
21 Mũndũ ũcio akĩmwĩrorera atekwaria, nĩguo amenye kana Jehova nĩagacĩrithĩtie rũgendo rwake kana ndaarũgacĩrithĩtie.
And the man wondering at her held his peace, to wit whether the LORD had made his journey prosperous or not.
22 Rĩrĩa ngamĩĩra ciarĩkirie kũnyua maaĩ-rĩ, mũndũ ũcio akĩruta gĩcũhĩ kĩa iniũrũ gĩa thahabu kĩa ũritũ wa nuthu cekeri, na bangiri igĩrĩ cia thahabu cia ũritũ wa cekeri ikũmi, akĩmwĩkĩra.
And it came to pass, as the camels had done drinking, that the man took a golden earring of half a shekel weight, and two bracelets for her hands of ten [shekels] weight of gold;
23 Agĩcooka akĩmũũria atĩrĩ, “Wee ũrĩ mwarĩ wa ũ? Ndagũthaitha ta njĩĩra atĩrĩ, mũciĩ gwa thoguo-rĩ, he handũ tũngĩrarĩrĩra?”
And said, Whose daughter [art] thou? tell me, I pray thee: is there room [in] thy father’s house for us to lodge in?
24 Nake akĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Niĩ ndĩ mwarĩ wa Bethueli, mũriũ ũrĩa Milika aaciarĩire Nahoru.”
And she said unto him, I [am] the daughter of Bethuel the son of Milcah, which she bare unto Nahor.
25 Ningĩ akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Tũrĩ na riya na nyeki nyingĩ, o na handũ wee ũngĩrarĩrĩra.”
She said moreover unto him, We have both straw and provender enough, and room to lodge in.
26 Mũndũ ũcio akĩinamĩrĩra thĩ, akĩhooya Jehova,
And the man bowed down his head, and worshipped the LORD.
27 akiuga atĩrĩ, “Jehova arogaathwo, o we Ngai wa Iburahĩmu mwathi wakwa, o ũcio ũtatigĩte kuonania ũtugi na wĩhokeku wake kũrĩ mwathi wakwa. Hakwa-rĩ, Jehova nĩandongoretie rũgendo-inĩ, akanginyia kwa andũ a nyũmba ya mwathi wakwa.”
And he said, Blessed [be] the LORD God of my master Abraham, who hath not left destitute my master of his mercy and his truth: I [being] in the way, the LORD led me to the house of my master’s brethren.
28 Nake mũirĩtu ũcio agĩtengʼera, agĩthiĩ akĩhe andũ a nyũmba ya nyina ndeto icio.
And the damsel ran, and told [them of] her mother’s house these things.
29 Na rĩrĩ, Rebeka aarĩ na mũrũ wa nyina wetagwo Labani, nake akiumagara ahiũhĩte, agĩthiĩ kũrĩ mũndũ ũcio hau gĩthima-inĩ kĩa maaĩ.
And Rebekah had a brother, and his name [was] Laban: and Laban ran out unto the man, unto the well.
30 Rĩrĩa onire gĩcũhĩ kĩu kĩa iniũrũ na bangiri irĩ moko-inĩ ma mwarĩ wa nyina, na aigua Rebeka akiuga ũrĩa mũndũ ũcio aamwĩrĩte-rĩ, agĩthiĩ kũrĩ mũndũ ũcio, akĩmũkora arũgamĩte harĩ ngamĩĩra ciake hakuhĩ na gĩthima kĩa maaĩ.
And it came to pass, when he saw the earring and bracelets upon his sister’s hands, and when he heard the words of Rebekah his sister, saying, Thus spake the man unto me; that he came unto the man; and, behold, he stood by the camels at the well.
31 Akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Ũka tũthiĩ mũciĩ, wee ũrathimĩtwo nĩ Jehova. Ũrũgamĩte haha nja nĩkĩ? Nĩhaarĩirie nyũmba yaku na handũ ha ngamĩĩra.”
And he said, Come in, thou blessed of the LORD; wherefore standest thou without? for I have prepared the house, and room for the camels.
32 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio mũndũ ũcio agĩtoonya nyũmba, nacio ngamĩĩra ikĩaũrwo mĩrigo. Ngamĩĩra ikĩreherwo riya na nyeki, nake mũndũ ũcio na andũ arĩa aarĩ nao makĩreherwo maaĩ ma gwĩthamba magũrũ.
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.
33 Ningĩ akĩreherwo irio, nowe akiuga atĩrĩ, “Niĩ ndingĩrĩa, itambĩte kũmwĩra ũndũ ũrĩa ũndehete gũkũ.” Nake Labani akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Gĩtwĩre.”
And there was set [meat] before him to eat: but he said, I will not eat, until I have told mine errand. And he said, Speak on.
34 Nake agĩkiuga atĩrĩ, “Niĩ ndĩ ndungata ya Iburahĩmu.”
And he said, I [am] Abraham’s servant.
35 “Jehova nĩarathimĩte mwathi wakwa mũno, na nĩ atongete mũno. Nĩamũheete ngʼondu na ngʼombe, betha na thahabu, ndungata cia arũme na cia andũ-a-nja, na ngamĩĩra o na ndigiri.
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 menservants, and maidservants, and camels, and asses.
36 Nake Sara mũtumia wa mwathi wakwa nĩamũciarĩire kĩmwana arĩ o mũkũrũ, nake nĩakĩheete indo ciake ciothe.
And Sarah my master’s wife bare a son to my master when she was old: and unto him hath he given all that he hath.
37 Nake mwathi wakwa agĩtũma ndĩĩhĩte akĩnjĩĩra atĩrĩ, ‘Ndũkanethere mũriũ wakwa mũtumia kuuma kũrĩ airĩtu a Akaanani, a gũkũ bũrũri ũyũ ndũũraga,
And my master made me swear, saying, Thou shalt not take a wife to my son of the daughters of the Canaanites, in whose land I dwell:
38 no ũthiĩ kũrĩ nyũmba ya baba na kũrĩ mũhĩrĩga wakwa, na ũrutĩre mũriũ wakwa mũtumia kuo.’
But thou shalt go unto my father’s house, and to my kindred, and take a wife unto my son.
39 “Ningĩ ngĩũria mwathi wakwa atĩrĩ, ‘Ĩ mũndũ-wa-nja ũcio angĩrega gũũka na niĩ?’
And I said unto my master, Peradventure the woman will not follow me.
40 “Nake akĩnjookeria atĩrĩ, ‘Jehova ũrĩa ndũire thiiaga mbere yake, nĩagatũma mũraika wake athiĩ nawe, na atũme rũgendo rwaku rũgaacĩre, nĩgeetha ũkaarutĩra mũriũ wakwa mũtumia kuuma kũrĩ mũhĩrĩga wakwa na kuuma kũrĩ andũ a nyũmba ya baba.
And he said unto 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:
41 Ningĩ wathiĩ kũrĩ mũhĩrĩga wakwa-rĩ, nĩũkohorwo kuuma kũrĩ mwĩhĩtwa wakwa; o na mangĩkaarega kũmũnengerana kũrĩ we, nĩũkohorwo kuuma kũrĩ mwĩhĩtwa ũcio wakwa.’”
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.
42 Agĩthiĩ na mbere, akiuga atĩrĩ, “Ũmũthĩ rĩrĩa nginyire gĩthima-inĩ kĩa maaĩ, njugire atĩrĩ, ‘Wee Jehova Ngai wa Iburahĩmu mwathi wakwa, ũngĩenda, ndagũthaitha, gaacĩrithia rũgendo rũrũ njũkĩte.
And I came this day unto the well, and said, O LORD God of my master Abraham, if now thou do prosper my way which I go:
43 Ta kĩone, nũngiĩ haha gĩthima-inĩ kĩa maaĩ; mũirĩtu angĩũka gũtaha maaĩ na niĩ ndĩmwĩre atĩrĩ, “Ĩtĩkĩra nyue tũũĩ tũnini kuuma ndigithũ-inĩ yaku,”
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;
44 nake angĩnjĩĩra atĩrĩ, “Nyua na nĩngũtahĩra ngamĩĩra ciaku o nacio,” nĩagĩtuĩke nĩwe mũndũ-wa-nja ũrĩa Jehova athuurĩire mũriũ wa mwathi wakwa.’
And she say to me, Both drink thou, and I will also draw for thy camels: [let] the same [be] the woman whom the LORD hath appointed out for my master’s son.
45 “Itanarĩkia kũhooya ũguo na ngoro-rĩ, Rebeka oka arĩ na ndigithũ yake kĩande. Nake aikũrũka gĩthima-inĩ kĩa maaĩ, aataha maaĩ na niĩ ndamwĩra atĩrĩ, ‘Ndagũthaitha he maaĩ nyue.’
And before I had done speaking in mine heart, behold, Rebekah came forth with her pitcher on her shoulder; and she went down unto the well, and drew [water: ] and I said unto her, Let me drink, I pray thee.
46 “Aaruta ndigithũ yake kĩande o naihenya anjĩĩra atĩrĩ, ‘Nyua, na nĩngũnyuithia o na ngamĩĩra ciaku.’ Nĩ ũndũ ũcio ndanyua maaĩ na ahe ngamĩĩra o nacio.
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.
47 “Na niĩ ndamũũria atĩrĩ, ‘Ũrĩ mwarĩ wa ũ?’ “Nake anjookeria atĩrĩ, ‘Ndĩ mwarĩ wa Bethueli mũrũ wa Nahoru, ũrĩa Milika aamũciarĩire.’ “Na niĩ ndakĩmwĩkĩra gĩcũhĩ iniũrũ, na bangiri moko,
And I asked her, and said, Whose daughter [art] thou? And she said, The daughter of Bethuel, Nahor’s son, whom Milcah bare unto him: and I put the earring upon her face, and the bracelets upon her hands.
48 ndacooka ndainamĩrĩra ndahooya Jehova. Ndagatha Jehova, o we Ngai wa Iburahĩmu mwathi wakwa, ũrĩa ũndongoretie na njĩra ĩrĩa njagĩrĩru nyonere mũrũ wa mwathi wakwa mwarĩ wa mũriũ wa mũrũ wa nyina nake.
And I bowed down my head, and worshipped the LORD, and blessed the LORD God of my master Abraham, which had led me in the right way to take my master’s brother’s daughter unto his son.
49 Na rĩrĩ, angĩkorwo nĩ mũkuonania ũtugi na wĩhokeku kũrĩ mwathi wakwa, njĩĩrai; na angĩkorwo tiguo, mũnjĩĩre nĩgeetha na niĩ menye na kũrĩa ngũrora.”
And now if ye 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.
50 Labani na Bethueli magĩcookia atĩrĩ, “Ũndũ ũyũ uumĩte kũrĩ Jehova; ithuĩ tũngĩgĩkwĩra atĩa?
Then Laban and Bethuel answered and said, The thing proceedeth from the LORD: we cannot speak unto thee bad or good.
51 Rebeka nĩwe ũyũ; muoe mũthiĩ agatuĩke mũtumia wa mũriũ wa mwathi waku, o ta ũrĩa Jehova oigĩte.”
Behold, Rebekah [is] before thee, take [her], and go, and let her be thy master’s son’s wife, as the LORD hath spoken.
52 Rĩrĩa ndungata ya Iburahĩmu yaiguire ũrĩa moigire, ĩkĩinamĩrĩra, ĩgĩturumithia ũthiũ wayo thĩ mbere ya Jehova.
And it came to pass, that, when Abraham’s servant heard their words, he worshipped the LORD, [bowing himself] to the earth.
53 Ningĩ ndungata ĩyo ĩkĩruta thahabu, na mathaga ma betha na nguo, na ĩgĩcihe Rebeka; ĩgĩcooka ĩkĩhe Labani mũrũ wa nyina, o na nyina, iheo cia goro.
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.
54 Ndungata ĩyo na andũ arĩa yarĩ nao makĩrĩa na makĩnyua, na makĩraara kũu ũtukũ ũcio. Na rĩrĩa mookĩrire mũthenya ũyũ ũngĩ rũciinĩ tene, ĩkiuga atĩrĩ, “Rekei ndĩthiĩre kũrĩ mwathi wakwa.”
And they did eat and drink, he and the men that [were] with him, and tarried all night; and they rose up in the morning, and he said, Send me away unto my master.
55 No Labani mũrũ wa nyina na mũirĩtu, o na nyina, makiuga atĩrĩ, “Reke mũirĩtu ũyũ aikare na ithuĩ ta matukũ ikũmi; mũcooke mũthiĩ.”
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.
56 No yo ĩkĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Tigai kũngiria thiĩ, kuona atĩ Jehova nĩagacĩrithĩtie rũgendo rwakwa. Rekei ndĩthiĩre kũrĩ mwathi wakwa.”
And he said unto them, Hinder me not, seeing the LORD hath prospered my way; send me away that I may go to my master.
57 Nao makiuga atĩrĩ, “Rekei twĩte mũirĩtu tũmũũrie ũhoro ũcio.”
And they said, We will call the damsel, and enquire at her mouth.
58 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio magĩĩta Rebeka, makĩmũũria atĩrĩ, “Nĩũgũthiĩ na mũndũ ũyũ?” Nake akiuga atĩrĩ, “Nĩngũthiĩ.”
And they called Rebekah, and said unto her, Wilt thou go with this man? And she said, I will go.
59 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio magĩtĩkĩria Rebeka mwarĩ wa nyina ũcio ethiĩre, hamwe na mũmũrori, na ndungata ya Iburahĩmu na andũ ake.
And they sent away Rebekah their sister, and her nurse, and Abraham’s servant, and his men.
60 Nao magĩkĩrathima Rebeka makĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Mwarĩ wa maitũ, ũroingĩha ũtuĩke nyina wa ngiri maita ngiri, naruo rũciaro rwaku rũroĩgwatĩra ihingo cia thũ ciao.”
And they blessed Rebekah, and said unto her, Thou [art] our sister, be thou [the mother] of thousands of millions, and let thy seed possess the gate of those which hate them.
61 Nake Rebeka na ndungata ciake, cia andũ-a-nja, makĩĩhaarĩria na makĩhaica ngamĩĩra, na magĩthiĩ na mũndũ ũcio. Nĩ ũndũ ũcio ndungata ĩyo ĩkĩoya Rebeka ĩgĩĩthiĩra.
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.
62 Na rĩrĩ, Isaaka nĩoimĩte Biri-Lahai-Roi, nĩ ũndũ aatũũraga Negevu.
And Isaac came from the way of the well Lahai-roi; for he dwelt in the south country.
63 Hwaĩ-inĩ ũmwe-rĩ, nĩathiire na kũu mũgũnda-inĩ agecũũranganie, na aatiira maitho, akĩona ngamĩĩra ciũkĩte.
And Isaac went out to meditate in the field at the eventide: and he lifted up his eyes, and saw, and, behold, the camels [were] coming.
64 O nake Rebeka agĩtiira maitho akĩona Isaaka. Akiuma ngamĩĩra igũrũ,
And Rebekah lifted up her eyes, and when she saw Isaac, she lighted off the camel.
65 na akĩũria ndungata ĩyo atĩrĩ, “Mũndũ ũrĩa ũrĩ kũũrĩa mũgũnda ũroka gũtũtũnga nũũ?” Ndungata ĩyo ĩgĩcookia atĩrĩ, “Nĩ mwathi wakwa.” Nake Rebeka akĩoya taama wake akĩĩhumbĩra.
For she [had] said unto 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.
66 Nayo ndungata ĩyo ĩkĩĩra Isaaka ũrĩa wothe yekĩte.
And the servant told Isaac all things that he had done.
67 Nake Isaaka agĩtoonyia Rebeka hema-inĩ ya nyina Sara, akĩmũhikia. Nĩ ũndũ ũcio agĩtuĩka mũtumia wake, na akĩmwenda; nake Isaaka akĩhoorerio ihooru rĩa gĩkuũ kĩa nyina.
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].
