Genesis 24
1 Ita, lakayen ni Abraham, lakay unayen, ket binendisionan ni Yahweh ni Abraham iti amin a banbanag.
Now Abraham was old; and advanced in age: and the Lord had blessed him in all things.
2 Kinuna ni Abraham iti adipenna a kalakayan iti pagtaenganna ken isu ti mangimatmaton iti amin nga adda kenni Abraham, ''Ikabilmo ta imam iti baet dagiti luppok
And he said to the elder servant of his house, who was ruler over all he had: Put thy hand under my thigh,
3 ket pagsapataenka kenni Yahweh, a Dios ti langit ken Dios ti daga, a saankanto a mangala iti asawa para iti anakko manipud kadagiti annak dagiti taga-Canaan, a nangaramidak iti pagtaengak.
That I may make thee swear by the Lord the God of heaven and earth, that thou take not a wife for my son, of the daughters of the Chanaanites, among whom I dwell:
4 Ngem mapankanto iti pagiliak, ken kadagiti kabagiak, ket mangalaka iti asawa para iti anakko a ni Isaac.”
But that thou go to my own country and kindred, and take a wife from thence for my son Isaac.
5 Kinuna ti adipen kenkuana, “Kasano no saan a kayat ti babai a sumurot kaniak iti daytoy a daga? Masapul kadi nga umayko ikuyog ti anakmo ket isublik iti daga a naggapuam?
The servant answered: If the woman will not come with me into this land, must I bring thy son back again to the place, from whence thou camest out?
6 Kinuna ni Abraham kenkuana, “Siguradoem a saanmo nga isubli ti anakko sadiay!
And Abraham said: Beware thou never bring my son back again thither.
7 Ni Yahweh a Dios ti langit, a nangala kaniak manipud iti balay ni amak ken manipud iti daga dagiti kabagiak, ken nagkari kaniak babaen iti napasnek a sapata a kunana, 'Itedkonto kadagiti kaputotam daytoy a daga,' ibaonnanto ti anghelna nga umuna kenka, ket mangalakanto iti asawaen ti anakko manipud sadiay.
The Lord God of heaven, who took me out of my father’s house, and out of my native country, who spoke to me, and swore to me, saying: To thy seed will I give this land: he will send his angel before thee, and thou shalt take from thence a wife for my son.
8 Ngem no saan a kayat ti babai a sumurot kenka, mawayawayaankanto ngarud manipud iti daytoy a panagsapatam kaniak. Dayta laeng ta saan a mabalin nga isublim ti annakko sadiay.”
But if the woman will not follow thee, thou shalt not be bound by the oath; only bring not my son back thither again.
9 Isu nga inkabil ti adipen ti imana iti baet ti luppo ni Abraham nga apona, ket nagsapata kenkuana maipanggep iti daytoy a banag.
The servant therefore put his hand under the thigh of Abraham his lord, and swore to him upon this word.
10 Nangala ti adipen iti sangapulo a kamelio ti apona ket pimmanaw. Nangala pay isuna kadagiti amin a kita dagiti sagut manipud iti apona. Pimmanaw isuna ket napan iti rehion ti Aram Naharaim, iti siudad ni Nahor.
And he took ten camels of his master’s herd, and departed, carrying something of all his goods with him, and he set forward and went on to Mesopotamia to the city of Nachor.
11 Pinaginanana dagiti kamelio iti ruar ti siudad iti abay ti bubon. Rabii idin, ti tiempo a panagruruar dagiti babbai a mapan agsakdo.
And when he had made the camels lie down without the town near a well of water in the evening, at the time when women are wont to come out to draw water, he said:
12 Ket kinunana, “Yahweh, Dios ti apok a ni Abraham, ipaaymo koma kaniak ti panagballigi iti daytoy nga aldaw ken ipakitam ti napudno a katulagam kenni apok a ni Abraham.
O Lord the God of my master Abraham, meet me today, I beseech thee, and show kindness to my master Abraham.
13 Kitaem, addaak ditoy nga agtaktakder iti abay ti ubbog, ket dagiti babbai a putot dagiti lallaki iti daytoy a siudad ket rummuarda nga umay agsakdo.
Behold I stand nigh the spring of water, and the daughters of the inhabitants of this city will come out to draw water.
14 Kastoy koma ngarud iti mapasamak. No ibagak iti maysa a balasang, 'Pangngaasim ta ibabam ta karambam tapno makiinumak,' ket kunaenna kaniak, 'Uminomka, ken painumek met dagiti kameliom,' ket isunanto ti intudingmo para iti adipenmo a ni Isaac. Babaen iti daytoy a maammoak nga impakitam ti kinapudnom iti tulagmo iti apok.”
Now, therefore, the maid to whom I shall say: Let down thy pitcher that I may drink: and she shall answer, Drink, and I will give thy camels drink also: let it be the same whom thou hast provided for thy servant Isaac: and by this I shall understand, that thou hast shown kindness to my master.
15 Napasamak a sakbay a nalpasna ti panagsaritana, adtoy met ni Rebecca a rimmuar nga addaan iti karamba iti abagana. Ni Rebecca ket putot ni Betuel nga anak a lalaki ni Milca nga asawa ni Nahor a kabsat a lalaki ni Abraham.
He had not yet ended these words within himself, and behold Rebecca came out, the daughter of Bathuel, son of Melcha, wife to Nachor the brother of Abraham, having a pitcher on her shoulder:
16 Nakapinpintas unay ti balasang ken maysa isuna a birhen. Awan pay iti lalaki a nakikaidda kenkuana. Simmalog isuna iti ubbog ket pinunnona ti karambana, ket simmang-at.
An exceeding comely maid, and a most beautiful virgin, and not known to man: and she went down to the spring, and filled her pitcher and was coming back.
17 Ket nagtaray ti adipen tapno sabtenna isuna ket kinunana, “Pangngaasim ta ikkannak iti bassit a mainum manipud dita karambam.”
And the servant ran to meet her, and said: Give me a little water to drink of thy pitcher.
18 Kinunana, Uminomka, apok,” ket dagdagus nga imbabana ti karamba kadagiti imana, ket pinainomna.
And she answered: Drink, my lord. And quickly she let down the pitcher upon her arm, and gave him drink.
19 Idi nalpasna isuna a pinainom, kinunana, “Agsakdoakto met iti para kadagiti kameliom, agingga a malpasda nga uminom.”
And when he had drunk, she said: I will draw water for thy camels also, till they all drink.
20 Isu a nagdardaras isuna ket imbukbokna ti nagyan iti karambana iti paginuman dagiti ayup, ket nagtaray manen a nagsubli idiay bubon tapno agsakdo, ket insakdoanna amin dagiti kamelio ti adipen.
And pouring out the pitcher into the troughs, she ran back to the well to draw water: and having drawn she gave to all the camels.
21 Siuulimek a binuybuya isuna ti lalaki tapno makitana no pinagballigi ni Yahweh ti panagdaliasatna wenno saan.
But he musing beheld her with silence, desirous to know whether the Lord had made his journey prosperous or not.
22 Idi nalpas nga imminum dagiti kamelio, nangiruar ti lalaki iti balitok nga aritos ti agong nga agtimbang iti kagudua ti siklo, ken dua a pulseras a para kadagiti takyagna nga agdagsen iti sangapulo a siklo,
And after that the camels had drunk, the man took out golden earrings, weighing two sicles: and as many bracelets of ten sicles weight.
23 ken sinaludsodna, “Siasino ti akin anak kenka? Pangngaasim ta ibagam kaniak, adda kadi siled idiay balay ni amam para kadakami a pagpalabasanmi iti rabii?”
And he said to her: Whose daughter art thou? tell me: is there any place in thy father’s house to lodge?
24 Kinuna ti balasang kenkuana, “Siak ket anak ni Betuel nga anak a lalaki ni Milca, nga inyanakna kenni Nahor.”
And she answered: I am the daughter of Bathuel, the son of Melcha, whom she bore to Nachor.
25 Kinunana pay kenkuana, “Addaankami iti adu a garami ken makan, ken kasta met iti siled a para kenka a pagpalabasam ti rabii.”
And she said moreover to him: We have good store of both straw and hay, and a large place to lodge in.
26 Ket nagkurno ti lalaki ken indaydayawna ni Yahweh.
The man bowed himself down, and adored the Lord,
27 Kinunana, “Madaydayaw ni Yahweh a Dios ti amongko a ni Abraham, saanna a tinallikudan ti kinapudnona iti tulagna ken ti kinamapagtalkanna iti amongko. Iti biangko met, inturongnak a dagus ni Yahweh iti balay dagiti kabagian ti amongko.”
Saying: Blessed be the Lord God of my master Abraham, who hath not taken away his mercy and truth from my master, and hath brought me the straight way into the house of my master’s brother.
28 Kalpasanna, nagtaray ti balasang ket napanna imbaga iti sangkabalayan ni nanangna ti maipanggep kadagitoy amin a banbanag.
Then the maid ran, and told in her mother’s house, all that she had heard.
29 Ita, addaan ni Rebecca iti kabsat a lalaki, ket Laban ti naganna. Nagtaray ni Laban iti ruar, iti ayan ti lalaki nga adda iti kalsada iti abay ti ubbog.
And Rebecca had a brother named Laban, who went out in haste to the man, to the well.
30 Idi nakitana ti aritos ti agong ken dagiti pulseras iti takiag ti kabsatna, ken idi nangngeganna dagiti sinao ni Rebecca a kabsatna, “Daytoy ti imbaga ti lalaki kaniak,” napan isuna iti ayan ti lalaki, ket adda sadiay nga agtaktakder iti abay dagiti kamelio iti ayan ti ubbog.
And when he had seen the earrings and bracelets in his sister’s hands, and had heard all that she related, saying: Thus and thus the man spoke to me: he came to the man who stood by the camels, and near to the spring of water,
31 Ket kinuna ni Laban, “Umayka, sika a binendisionan ni Yahweh. Apay nga agtaktakderka dita ruar? Insaganak ti balay ken ti disso a para kadagiti kamelio.”
And said to him: Come in, thou blessed of the Lord: why standest thou without? I have prepared the house, and a place for the camels.
32 Isu a napan ti lalaki iti balay ket inikkatna dagiti awit dagiti kamelio. Ket naikkan dagiti kamelio ti garami ken makan, ket naipaayan met iti danum a pangbuggona kadagiti sakana kasta met dagiti saka dagiti lallaki a kakaduana.
And he brought him in into his lodging: and he unharnessed the camels and gave straw and hay, and water to wash his feet, and the feet of the men that were come with him.
33 Nangisaganada iti taraon iti sagoananna tapno mangan, ngem kinunana, “Saanak a mangan agingga a maibagak no ania ti masapul nga ibagak.” Isu a kinuna ni Laban, “Agsaoka”
And bread was set before him. But he said: I will not eat, till I tell my message. He answered him: Speak.
34 Kinunana, “Adipennak ni Abraham.
And he said: I am the servant of Abraham:
35 Binendisionan ni Yahweh ti apok iti kasta unay ket nagbalin a naindaklan. Inikkanna isuna kadagiti karnero ken kadagiti kalding, pirak ken balitok, kadagiti lallaki nga adipen ken kadagiti babbai nga adipen, ken kadagiti kamelio ken kadagiti asno.
And the Lord hath blessed my master wonderfully, and he is become great: and he hath given him sheep and oxen, silver and gold, men servants and women servants, camels and asses.
36 Ni Sarah nga asawa ti apok ket nangipasngay iti maysa a lalaki kenni amongko idi baketen isuna, ket intedna amin a banbanag a sanikuana kenkuana.
And Sara my master’s wife hath borne my master a son in her old age, and he hath given him all that he had.
37 Pinagsapatanak ti apok, a kinunana, 'Masapul a saanka a mangala iti asawa a para iti anakko manipud kadagiti annak a babbai dagiti taga-Canaan, daga a nangaramidak iti pagtaengak.
And my master made me swear, saying: Thou shalt not take a wife for my son of the Chanaanites, in whose land I dwell:
38 Ngem ketdi, masapul a mapanka iti pamilia ni tatangko, ken kadagiti kabagiak, ket mangalaka iti asawaen ti anakko.'
But thou shalt go to my father’s house, and shalt take a wife of my own kindred for my son:
39 Kinunak iti apok, 'Nalabit a saanto a sumurot kaniak ti babai.
But I answered my master: What if the woman will not come with me?
40 Ngem kinunana kaniak, 'Ni Yahweh, a pagtultulnogak, ket ibaonnanto ti anghelna a kumuyog kenka ket pagballigiennanto ti dalanmo, tapno iti kasta ket mangalaka iti asawaen ti anakko manipud kadagiti kabagiak ken manipud iti linya ti pamilia ni tatangko.
The Lord, said he, in whose sight I walk, will send his angel with thee, and will direct thy way: and thou shalt take a wife for my son of my own kindred, and of my father’s house.
41 Ngem mawayawayaankanto manipud iti sinapataam kaniak no mapanka kadagiti kabagiak ket saanda nga ited isuna kenka. Ket mawayawayaankanto manipud iti sinapataam kaniak.'
But thou shalt be clear from my curse, when thou shalt come to my kindred, if they will not give thee one.
42 Simmangpetak ngarud ita nga aldaw iti ayan ti ubbog, ket kinunak, 'O Yahweh, Dios ti apok a ni Abraham, pangngaasim, no pudno a panggepmo a pagballigien ti panagdaliasatko—
And I came today to the well of water, and said: O Lord God of my master Abraham, if thou hast prospered my way, wherein I now walk,
43 addaak ditoy nga agtaktakder iti abay ti ubbog—Ti koma balasang nga umay agsakdo, iti babai a pangibagaak, “Pangngaasim ta ikkannak iti bassit a danum nga inumek manipud dita karambam,”
Behold I stand by the well of water, and the virgin, that shall come out to draw water, who shall hear me say: Give me a little water to drink of thy pitcher:
44 ti babai a mangibaga kaniak, “Uminomka, ket sumakdoakto met para kadagiti kameliom”— ket isuna ti babai nga inkapinili, Yahweh, para iti putot ti apok.'
And shall say to me: Both drink thou, and I will also draw for thy camels: let the same be the woman, whom the Lord hath prepared for my master’s son.
45 Sakbay pay a nalpasak nga agsarita iti pusok, pagammoan, simmangpet ni Rebecca nga awitna ti karambana iti abagana ket simmalog idiay ubbog ket nagsakdo. Isu a kinunak kenkuana, 'Pangngaasim ta painumennak.'
And whilst I pondered these things secretly with myself, Rebecca appeared coming with a pitcher, which she carried on her shoulder: and she went down to the well and drew water. And I said to her: Give me a little to drink.
46 Dagus nga imbabana ti karambana manipud iti abagana ket kinunana, 'Uminumka, ket painumek met dagiti kameliom.' Imminomak ngarud, ket pinainomna met dagiti kamelio.
And she speedily let down the pitcher from her shoulder, and said to me: Both drink thou, and to thy camels I will give drink. I drank, and she watered the camels.
47 Ket dinamagko kenkuana, 'Siasino ti akin anak kenka? Kinunana, 'Putotnak ni Betuel a putot ni Nahor, nga impasngay ni Milca kenkuana.' Ket inkabilko ti aritos iti agongna ken dagiti pulseras kadagiti takiagna.
And I asked her, and said: Whose daughter art thou? And she answered: I am the daughter of Bathuel, the son of Nachor, whom Melcha bore to him. So I put earrings on her to adorn her face, and I put bracelets on her hands.
48 Kalpasanna, nagkurnoak ket nagdaydayawak kenni Yahweh, indaydayawko ni Yahweh a Dios ti apok a ni Abraham, nga isu iti nangidalan kaniak iti umno a dalan tapno masarakak ti anak dagiti kabagian ti amongko para iti anakna.
And falling down I adored the Lord, blessing the Lord God of my master Abraham, who hath brought me the straight way to take the daughter of my master’s brother for his son.
49 Ita ngarud, no nakasaganakayo a mangpadayaw iti apok babaen iti kinapudnoyo ken kinamapagtalkan iti pamilya, ibagayo kaniak. Ngem no saan, ibagayo kaniak, tapno ammok ti aramidek.”
Wherefore if you do according to mercy and truth with my master, tell me: but if it please you otherwise, tell me that also, that I may go to the right hand, or to the left.
50 Ket simmungbat da Laban ken Betuel a kinunada, “Ti banag ket naggapu kenni Yahweh; saankami a mabalin nga agsarita iti nasayaat wenno dakes kenka.
And Laban and Bathuel answered: The word hath proceeded from the Lord, we cannot speak any other thing to thee but his pleasure.
51 Adtoy ni Rebecca iti sangoanam. Alaem isuna ket mapankayo, tapno agbalin nga asawa ti anak ti apom, kas imbaga ni Yahweh.”
Behold Rebecca is before thee, take her and go thy way, and let her be the wife of thy master’s son, as the Lord hath spoken.
52 Idi nangngegan ti adipen ni Abraham dagiti sinaoda, nagpakleb iti daga para kenni Yahweh.
Which when Abraham’s servant heard, falling down to the ground he adored the Lord.
53 Inruar ti adipen dagiti banbanag a pirak, ken banbanag a balitok, ken pagan-anay, ket intedna kenni Rebecca. Inikkanna met iti napapateg a sagut ti kabsatna a lalaki ken ni nanangna.
And bringing forth vessels of silver and gold, and garments, he gave them to Rebecca for a present. He offered gifts also to her brothers, and to her mother.
54 Ket nangan ken imminom isuna ken dagiti lallaki a kaduana. Ket nagtalinaedda sadiay iti nagpatnag, ket idi bimmangonda iti kabigatan, kinunana, “Palubosandak a mapan iti apok.”
And a banquet was made, and they ate and drank together, and lodged there. And in the morning, the servant arose, and said: Let me depart, that I may go to my master.
55 Kinuna ti kabsat a lalaki ken ti nanang ni Rebecca, “Agtalinaed pay koma ti balasang kadakami iti sumagmamano pay nga al-aldaw, uray sangapulo laeng. Kalpasan dayta, mabalinna ti mapan.”
And her brother and mother answered: Let the maid stay at least ten days with us, and afterwards she shall depart.
56 Ngem kinunana kadakuada, “Saandak a lappedan, agsipud ta pinagballigi ni Yahweh ti panagdaliasatko. Palubosandak a pumanaw tapno mapanak kenni amongko.”
Stay me not, said he, because the Lord hath prospered my way: send me away, that I may go to my master.
57 Kinunada, “Ayabanmi ti balasang ket saludsodenmi isuna.”
And they said: Let us call the maid, and ask her will.
58 Isu nga inayabanda ni Rebecca ket sinaludsodda kenkuana, “Sumurotka kadi iti daytoy a lalaki?” Simmungbat isuna, “Sumurotak.”
And they called her, and when she was come, they asked: Wilt thou go with this man? She said: I will go.
59 Pinalubosanda ngarud ni Rebecca, a kaduana dagiti adipenna a babbai, iti panagdaliasatna a kadua ti adipen ni Abraham ken dagiti lallaki a kaduana.
So they sent her away, and her nurse, and Abraham’s servant, and his company,
60 Binendisionanda ni Rebecca, a kinunada kenkuana, “Kabsatmi a babai, agbalinka koma nga ina iti rinibribu ti sangapulo a ribu, ken tagikuaen koma dagiti pulim ti ruangan dagiti manggura kadakuada.”
Wishing prosperity to their sister, and saying: Thou art our sister, mayst thou increase to thousands of thousands, and may thy seed possess the gates of their enemies.
61 Kalpasanna, nagrubbuat ni Rebecca ket insaganana ken dagiti adipenna a babbai dagiti kamelio, ket simmurotda iti lalaki. Kastoy ti panangala ti adipen kenni Rebecca, ket napan iti dalanna.
So Rebecca and her maids, being set upon camels, followed the man: who with speed returned to his master.
62 Ita, ni Isaac ket agnanaed idiay Negeb, ket kasubsublina laeng manipud Beer-lahai-roi.
At the same time Isaac was walking along the way to the well which is called Of the living and the seeing: for he dwelt in the south country.
63 Rimmuar ni Isaac tapno mapan agpanunot iti kataltalunan iti rabii, ket idi timmangad isuna ken kimmita, pagammoan ket adda nakitana a sumagmamano a kamelio a sumungsungad!
And he was gone forth to meditate in the field, the day being now well spent: and when he had lifted up his eyes, he saw camels coming afar off.
64 Kimmita ni Rebecca, ket idi nakitana ni Isaac, limmagto nga immulog iti kamelio.
Rebecca also, when she saw Isaac, lighted off the camel,
65 Kinunana iti adipen, “Siasino dayta a lalaki a magmagna idiay taltalon a sumabat kadatayo?” Kinuna ti adipen, “Ti apok.” Isu nga innalana ti dalungdongna, ket inabbunganna ti ulona.
And said to the servant: Who is that man who cometh towards us along the field? And he said to her: That man is my master. But she quickly took her cloak, and covered herself.
66 Imbaga ti adipen kenni Isaac dagiti amin a banbanag nga inaramidna.
And the servant told Isaac all that he had done.
67 Ket impan ni Isaac ni Rebecca idiay tolda ni Sarah nga inana ket innalana daytoy, ket nagbalin nga asawana ken inayatna. Naliwliwa ngarud ni Isaac kalpasan a natay ni nanangna.
Who brought her into the tent of Sara his mother, and took her to wife: and he loved her so much, that it moderated the sorrow which was occasioned by his mother’s death.
