< Genesis 24 >

1 Ita, lakayen ni Abraham, lakay unayen, ket binendisionan ni Yahweh ni Abraham iti amin a banbanag.
Now Abraham was old, well advanced in days, and Jehovah had blessed Abraham 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 Abraham said to his servant, the elder of his household, who was in charge over all that he had, "Please put your 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.
and I will make you swear by the God of heaven and earth, that you must not take a wife for my son from the daughters of the Canaanites, among whom I am living,
4 Ngem mapankanto iti pagiliak, ken kadagiti kabagiak, ket mangalaka iti asawa para iti anakko a ni Isaac.”
but you must go to my country and to my relatives, and get a wife 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?
And the servant asked him, "What if the woman isn't willing to follow me to this land? Must I then bring your son back to the land from which you came?"
6 Kinuna ni Abraham kenkuana, “Siguradoem a saanmo nga isubli ti anakko sadiay!
Then Abraham told him, "Be careful that you do not take my son back there.
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.
Now the God of heaven, who took me from my father's household and from the land of my birth, who spoke to me and promised me on oath, saying, 'I will give this land to your offspring' -- he will send his angel before you, and you will get a wife for my son from there.
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 isn't willing to follow you, then you will be free from this oath to me. Only you must not bring my son back there."
9 Isu nga inkabil ti adipen ti imana iti baet ti luppo ni Abraham nga apona, ket nagsapata kenkuana maipanggep iti daytoy a banag.
So the servant put his hand under the thigh of his master Abraham and gave his oath to him concerning this matter.
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.
Then the servant took ten camels from his master's camels and departed, having a variety of good things from his master at his disposal, and he set out and went to Aram Naharaim, to the city of Nahor.
11 Pinaginanana dagiti kamelio iti ruar ti siudad iti abay ti bubon. Rabii idin, ti tiempo a panagruruar dagiti babbai a mapan agsakdo.
And he made the camels kneel down outside the city by the well of water at the time of evening, the time when women go out to draw water.
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.
Then he said, "God of my master Abraham, please grant me success today 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.
Look, I am standing by the spring of water, and the daughters of the men of the city are coming 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 may it happen that the young woman to whom I will say, 'Please lower your jug that I may drink,' and she answers, 'Drink, and I will also give your camels a drink,'—her you have chosen for your servant Isaac. By this I will know that you have 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.
And it happened, before he had finished speaking, that look, Rebekah was coming out with her jug on her shoulder—who was born to Bethuel the son of Milcah, the wife of Nahor, Abraham's brother.
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.
Now the young woman was very beautiful in appearance, a virgin; no man had ever slept with her. And she went down to the spring and filled her jug and came up.
17 Ket nagtaray ti adipen tapno sabtenna isuna ket kinunana, “Pangngaasim ta ikkannak iti bassit a mainum manipud dita karambam.”
Then the servant ran to meet her, and said, "Please give me a little water to drink from your jug."
18 Kinunana, Uminomka, apok,” ket dagdagus nga imbabana ti karamba kadagiti imana, ket pinainomna.
So she said, "Drink, my lord." And she hurried and let down her jug to her hands, and gave him a drink.
19 Idi nalpasna isuna a pinainom, kinunana, “Agsakdoakto met iti para kadagiti kameliom, agingga a malpasda nga uminom.”
Now when she had finished giving him a drink, she said, "I will also draw for your camels, until they have finished drinking."
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.
So she hurried and emptied her jug into the trough and ran again to the well to draw, and drew for all his camels.
21 Siuulimek a binuybuya isuna ti lalaki tapno makitana no pinagballigi ni Yahweh ti panagdaliasatna wenno saan.
And the man watched her in silence so as to know whether God had made his journey successful 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 it happened, as the camels had finished drinking, that the man took a gold ring weighing a beka, which he put on her nose, and two bracelets for her hands weighing ten pieces of gold,
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 said, "Whose daughter are you? Please tell me, is there room in your father's house for us to lodge?"
24 Kinuna ti balasang kenkuana, “Siak ket anak ni Betuel nga anak a lalaki ni Milca, nga inyanakna kenni Nahor.”
Then she said to him, "I am the daughter of Bethuel, the son of Milcah, whom she bore to Nahor."
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 also said to him, "We have plenty of straw and fodder, and room to lodge."
26 Ket nagkurno ti lalaki ken indaydayawna ni Yahweh.
Then the man bowed his head and worshiped God,
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.”
and said, "Blessed be the God of my master Abraham, who has not forsaken his loving kindness and his truth toward my master. As for me, he has led me on the journey to the house of my master's relatives."
28 Kalpasanna, nagtaray ti balasang ket napanna imbaga iti sangkabalayan ni nanangna ti maipanggep kadagitoy amin a banbanag.
Then the young woman ran, and told her mother's household about these words.
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.
Now Rebekah had a brother, and his name was Laban, and he ran out to the man at the spring.
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 it happened, when he saw the nose ring and the bracelets on his sister's wrists, and when he heard the words of Rebekah his sister, saying, "This is what the man said to me," that he went to the man. And look, he was standing by the camels at the spring.
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 he said, "Come in, you blessed of God. Why do you stand outside? For I have prepared the house and room 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.
So the man went into the house and he unloaded the camels. And he gave straw and fodder for the camels, and water to wash his feet and the feet of the men who were 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 he set before him food to eat, but he said, "I will not eat until I have told my message." And he said, "Say it."
34 Kinunana, “Adipennak ni Abraham.
So he said, "I am Abraham's servant.
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 has blessed my master greatly, so that he has become great, and he has given him sheep and cattle, and silver and gold, and male servants and female servants, camels and donkeys.
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 Sarah my master's wife bore a son to my master when she was old, and to him he has given all that he has.
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.
Now my master put me under oath, saying, 'You must not take a wife for my son from the daughters of the Canaanites, in whose land I live,
38 Ngem ketdi, masapul a mapanka iti pamilia ni tatangko, ken kadagiti kabagiak, ket mangalaka iti asawaen ti anakko.'
but you must go to my father's house, and to my relatives, and get a wife for my son.'
39 Kinunak iti apok, 'Nalabit a saanto a sumurot kaniak ti babai.
And I said to my master, 'What if the woman will not follow 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.
But he said to me, 'God, before whom I walk, will send his angel with you, and make your journey successful, and you will get a wife for my son from my relatives, 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.'
Then will you be free from my oath, when you come to my relatives. And if they do not give her to you, then you will be free from my oath.'
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—
So today I came to the spring, and said, 'God of my master Abraham, if now you will make my journey successful in which I go—
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,”
look, I am standing by this spring of water, and may it happen that the young woman who comes out to draw, to whom I will say, "Please give me a little water from your pitcher to drink,"
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 she will say to me, "Drink, and I will also draw for your camels,"—may she be the woman who has been chosen 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.'
Before I had finished praying in my heart, look, Rebekah came out with her jug on her shoulder, and she went down to the spring, and drew. And I said to her, 'Please give me a 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 quickly lowered her jug from her shoulder, and said, 'Drink, and I will also give your camels a drink.' So I drank, and she also gave the camels water.
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.
Then I asked her, and said, 'Whose daughter are you?' And she replied, 'The daughter of Bethuel, Nahor's son, whom Milcah bore to him.' So I put the ring on her nose, and the bracelets on her wrists.
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.
Then I bowed my head and worshiped God, and blessed the God of my master Abraham, who had guided me on the right road to find the granddaughter 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.”
Now if you will show kindness and truth to my master, tell me. And if not, tell me, that I may turn 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.
Then Laban and Bethuel answered, "The matter comes from God. We can't speak to you bad or good.
51 Adtoy ni Rebecca iti sangoanam. Alaem isuna ket mapankayo, tapno agbalin nga asawa ti anak ti apom, kas imbaga ni Yahweh.”
Look, Rebekah is before you. Take, and go, and let her become the wife of your master's son, as God has spoken."
52 Idi nangngegan ti adipen ni Abraham dagiti sinaoda, nagpakleb iti daga para kenni Yahweh.
And it happened when Abraham's servant heard their words, that he bowed himself down to the ground.
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.
Then the servant brought out articles of silver and articles of gold, and clothing, and gave them to Rebekah. And he also gave valuable gifts to her brother 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.”
Then he and the men who were with him ate and drank, and spent the night. Then they got up in the morning, and he said, "Send me away 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.”
But her brother and her mother said, "Let the young woman stay with us ten days or so. After that she may go."
56 Ngem kinunana kadakuada, “Saandak a lappedan, agsipud ta pinagballigi ni Yahweh ti panagdaliasatko. Palubosandak a pumanaw tapno mapanak kenni amongko.”
But he said to them, "Do not delay me, seeing that he has made my journey successful. Send me away that I may go to my master."
57 Kinunada, “Ayabanmi ti balasang ket saludsodenmi isuna.”
Then they said, "We will call the young woman and ask her."
58 Isu nga inayabanda ni Rebecca ket sinaludsodda kenkuana, “Sumurotka kadi iti daytoy a lalaki?” Simmungbat isuna, “Sumurotak.”
So they called Rebekah, and said to her, "Will you go with this man?" And she replied, "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 away their sister Rebekah, and her nurse, and Abraham's servant, and his men.
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.”
And they blessed Rebekah, and said to her, "Our sister, may you be the mother of thousands of ten thousands, and may your descendants possess the gate of those who hate them."
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.
And Rebekah and her female servants got ready, and they rode on the camels and followed the man. So the servant took Rebekah and went on his way.
62 Ita, ni Isaac ket agnanaed idiay Negeb, ket kasubsublina laeng manipud Beer-lahai-roi.
Now Isaac had come from the way of Beer Lahai Roi, for he was living in the land of the Negev.
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 Isaac went out in the field to think in the early evening. And he lifted up his eyes and looked, and look, he saw camels approaching.
64 Kimmita ni Rebecca, ket idi nakitana ni Isaac, limmagto nga immulog iti kamelio.
And Rebekah lifted up her eyes, and when she saw Isaac, she dismounted from 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 she asked the servant, "Who is the man who is walking in the field to meet us?" And the servant said, "It is my master." Then she took her veil and covered herself.
66 Imbaga ti adipen kenni Isaac dagiti amin a banbanag nga inaramidna.
And the servant told Isaac all the things 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.
Then Isaac brought her into his mother Sarah's tent, and took Rebekah, and she became his wife. And he loved her. So Isaac was comforted after his mother's death.
