Kejadian 24
1 Adapun Abraham telah tua dan lanjut umurnya, serta diberkati TUHAN dalam segala hal.
And Abraam was old, advanced in days, and the Lord blessed Abraam in all things.
2 Berkatalah Abraham kepada hambanya yang paling tua dalam rumahnya, yang menjadi kuasa atas segala kepunyaannya, katanya: "Baiklah letakkan tanganmu di bawah pangkal pahaku,
And Abraam said to his servant the elder of his house, who had rule over all his possessions, Put your hand under my thigh,
3 supaya aku mengambil sumpahmu demi TUHAN, Allah yang empunya langit dan yang empunya bumi, bahwa engkau tidak akan mengambil untuk anakku seorang isteri dari antara perempuan Kanaan yang di antaranya aku diam.
and I will adjure you by the Lord the God of heaven, and the God of the earth, that you take not a wife for my son Isaac from the daughters of the Chananites, with whom I dwell, in the midst of them.
4 Tetapi engkau harus pergi ke negeriku dan kepada sanak saudaraku untuk mengambil seorang isteri bagi Ishak, anakku."
But you shall go instead to my country, where I was born, and to my tribe, and you shall take from thence a wife for my son Isaac.
5 Lalu berkatalah hambanya itu kepadanya: "Mungkin perempuan itu tidak suka mengikuti aku ke negeri ini; haruskah aku membawa anakmu itu kembali ke negeri dari mana tuanku keluar?"
And the servant said to him, Shall I carry back your son to the land whence you came forth, if haply the woman should not be willing to return with me to this land?
6 Tetapi Abraham berkata kepadanya: "Awas, jangan kaubawa anakku itu kembali ke sana.
And Abraam said to him, Take heed to yourself that you carry not my son back there.
7 TUHAN, Allah yang empunya langit, yang telah memanggil aku dari rumah ayahku serta dari negeri sanak saudaraku, dan yang telah berfirman kepadaku, serta yang bersumpah kepadaku, demikian: kepada keturunanmulah akan Kuberikan negeri ini--Dialah juga akan mengutus malaikat-Nya berjalan di depanmu, sehingga engkau dapat mengambil seorang isteri dari sana untuk anakku.
The Lord the God of heaven, and the God of the earth, who took me out of my father's house, and out of the land whence I sprang, who spoke to me, and who swore to me, saying, I will give this land to you and to your seed, he shall send his angel before you, and you shall take a wife to my son from thence.
8 Tetapi jika perempuan itu tidak mau mengikuti engkau, maka lepaslah engkau dari sumpahmu kepadaku ini; hanya saja, janganlah anakku itu kaubawa kembali ke sana."
And if the woman should not be willing to come with you into this land, you shall be clear from my oath, only carry not my son there again.
9 Lalu hamba itu meletakkan tangannya di bawah pangkal paha Abraham, tuannya, dan bersumpah kepadanya tentang hal itu.
And the servant put his hand under the thigh of his master Abraam, and swore to him concerning this matter.
10 Kemudian hamba itu mengambil sepuluh ekor dari unta tuannya dan pergi dengan membawa berbagai-bagai barang berharga kepunyaan tuannya; demikianlah ia berangkat menuju Aram-Mesopotamia ke kota Nahor.
And the servant took ten camels of his master's camels, and [he took] of all the goods of his master with him, and he arose and went into Mesopotamia to the city of Nachor.
11 Di sana disuruhnyalah unta itu berhenti di luar kota dekat suatu sumur, pada waktu petang hari, waktu perempuan-perempuan keluar untuk menimba air.
And he rested his camels without the city by the well of water towards evening, when damsels go forth to draw water.
12 Lalu berkatalah ia: "TUHAN, Allah tuanku Abraham, buatlah kiranya tercapai tujuanku pada hari ini, tunjukkanlah kasih setia-Mu kepada tuanku Abraham.
And he said, O Lord God of my master Abraam, prosper my way before me to day, and deal mercifully with my master Abraam.
13 Di sini aku berdiri di dekat mata air, dan anak-anak perempuan penduduk kota ini datang keluar untuk menimba air.
Behold! I stand by the well of water, and the daughters of them that inhabit the city come forth to draw water.
14 Kiranya terjadilah begini: anak gadis, kepada siapa aku berkata: Tolong miringkan buyungmu itu, supaya aku minum, dan yang menjawab: Minumlah, dan unta-untamu juga akan kuberi minum--dialah kiranya yang Kautentukan bagi hamba-Mu, Ishak; maka dengan begitu akan kuketahui, bahwa Engkau telah menunjukkan kasih setia-Mu kepada tuanku itu."
And it shall be, the virgin to whoever I shall say, Incline your water-pot, that I may drink, and she shall say, Drink you, and I will give your camels drink, until they shall have done drinking—even this one you have prepared for your servant Isaac, and hereby shall I know that you have dealt mercifully with my master Abraam.
15 Sebelum ia selesai berkata, maka datanglah Ribka, yang lahir bagi Betuel, anak laki-laki Milka, isteri Nahor, saudara Abraham; buyungnya dibawanya di atas bahunya.
And it came to pass before he had done speaking in his mind, that behold, Rebecca the daughter of Bathuel, the son of Melcha, the wife of Nachor, and [the same] the brother of Abraam, came forth, having a water-pot on her shoulders.
16 Anak gadis itu sangat cantik parasnya, seorang perawan, belum pernah bersetubuh dengan laki-laki; ia turun ke mata air itu dan mengisi buyungnya, lalu kembali naik.
And the virgin was very beautiful in appearance, she was a virgin, a man had not known her; and she went down to the well, and filled her water-pot, and came up.
17 Kemudian berlarilah hamba itu mendapatkannya serta berkata: "Tolong beri aku minum air sedikit dari buyungmu itu."
And the servant ran up to meet her, and said, Give me a little water to drink out of your pitcher;
18 Jawabnya: "Minumlah, tuan," maka segeralah diturunkannya buyungnya itu ke tangannya, serta diberinya dia minum.
and she said, Drink, Sir; and she hasted, and let down the pitcher upon her arm, and gave him to drink, till he ceased drinking.
19 Setelah ia selesai memberi hamba itu minum, berkatalah ia: "Baiklah untuk unta-untamu juga kutimba air, sampai semuanya puas minum."
And she said, I will also draw water for your camels, till they shall all have drunk.
20 Kemudian segeralah dituangnya air yang di buyungnya itu ke dalam palungan, lalu berlarilah ia sekali lagi ke sumur untuk menimba air dan ditimbanyalah untuk semua unta orang itu.
And she hasted, and emptied the water-pot into the trough, and ran to the well to draw again, and drew water for all the camels.
21 Dan orang itu mengamat-amatinya dengan berdiam diri untuk mengetahui apakah TUHAN membuat perjalanannya berhasil atau tidak.
And the man took great notice of her, and remained silent to know whether the Lord had made his way prosperous or not.
22 Setelah unta-unta itu puas minum, maka orang itu mengambil anting-anting emas yang setengah syikal beratnya, dan sepasang gelang tangan yang sepuluh syikal emas beratnya,
And it came to pass when all the camels ceased drinking, that the man took golden ear-rings, each of a drachm weight, and he [put] two bracelets on her hands, their weight was ten pieces of gold.
23 serta berkata: "Anak siapakah engkau? Baiklah katakan kepadaku! Adakah di rumah ayahmu tempat bermalam bagi kami?"
And he asked her, and said, Whose daughter are you? Tell me if there is room for us to lodge with your father.
24 Lalu jawabnya kepadanya: "Ayahku Betuel, anak Milka, yang melahirkannya bagi Nahor."
And she said to him, I am the daughter of Bathuel the son of Melcha, whom she bore to Nachor.
25 Lagi kata gadis itu: "Baik jerami, baik makanan unta banyak pada kami, tempat bermalampun ada."
And she said to him, We have both straw and much provender, and a place for resting.
26 Lalu berlututlah orang itu dan sujud menyembah TUHAN,
And the man being well pleased, worshipped the Lord,
27 serta berkata: "Terpujilah TUHAN, Allah tuanku Abraham, yang tidak menarik kembali kasih-Nya dan setia-Nya dari tuanku itu; dan TUHAN telah menuntun aku di jalan ke rumah saudara-saudara tuanku ini!"
and said, Blessed be the Lord the God of my master Abraam, who has not suffered his righteousness to fail, nor his truth from my master, and the Lord has brought me prosperously to the house of the brother of my lord.
28 Berlarilah gadis itu pergi menceritakan kejadian itu ke rumah ibunya.
And the damsel ran and reported to the house of her mother according to these words.
29 Ribka mempunyai saudara laki-laki, namanya Laban. Laban berlari ke luar mendapatkan orang itu, ke mata air tadi,
And Rebecca had a brother whose name was Laban; and Laban ran out to meet the man, to the well.
30 sesudah dilihatnya anting-anting itu dan gelang pada tangan saudaranya, dan sesudah didengarnya perkataan Ribka, saudaranya, yang bunyinya: "Begitulah dikatakan orang itu kepadaku." Ia mendapatkan orang itu, yang masih berdiri di samping unta-untanya di dekat mata air itu,
And it came to pass when he saw the ear-rings and the bracelets on the hands of his sister, and when he heard the words of Rebecca his sister, saying, Thus the man spoke to me, that he went to the man, as he stood by the camels at the well.
31 dan berkata: "Marilah engkau yang diberkati TUHAN, mengapa engkau berdiri di luar, padahal telah kusediakan rumah bagimu, dan juga tempat untuk unta-untamu."
And he said to him, Come in hither, you blessed of the Lord, why stand you without, whereas I have prepared the house and a place for the camels?
32 Masuklah orang itu ke dalam rumah. Ditanggalkanlah pelana unta-unta, diberikan jerami dan makanan kepada unta-unta itu, lalu dibawa air pembasuh kaki untuk orang itu dan orang-orang yang bersama-sama dengan dia.
And the man entered into the house, and unloaded the camels, and gave the camels straw and provender, and water to wash his feet, and the feet of the men that were with him.
33 Tetapi ketika dihidangkan makanan di depannya, berkatalah orang itu: "Aku tidak akan makan sebelum kusampaikan pesan yang kubawa ini." Jawab Laban: "Silakan!"
And he set before them loaves to eat; but he said, I will not eat, until I have told my errand. And he said, Speak on.
34 Lalu berkatalah ia: "Aku ini hamba Abraham.
And he said, I am a servant of Abraam;
35 TUHAN sangat memberkati tuanku itu, sehingga ia telah menjadi kaya; TUHAN telah memberikan kepadanya kambing domba dan lembu sapi, emas dan perak, budak laki-laki dan perempuan, unta dan keledai.
and the Lord has blessed my master greatly, and he is exalted, and he has given him sheep, and calves, and silver, and gold, servants and servant-maids, camels, and asses.
36 Dan Sara, isteri tuanku itu, sesudah tua, telah melahirkan anak laki-laki bagi tuanku itu; kepada anaknya itu telah diberikan tuanku segala harta miliknya.
And Sarrha my master's wife bore one son to my master after he had grown old; and he gave him whatever he had.
37 Tuanku itu telah mengambil sumpahku: Engkau tidak akan mengambil untuk anakku seorang isteri dari antara perempuan Kanaan, yang negerinya kudiami ini,
And my master caused me to swear, saying, You shall not take a wife to my son of the daughters of the Chananites, amongst whom I sojourn in their land.
38 tetapi engkau harus pergi ke rumah ayahku dan kepada kaumku untuk mengambil seorang isteri bagi anakku.
But you shall go to the house of my father, and to my tribe, and you shall take thence a wife for my son.
39 Jawabku kepada tuanku itu: Mungkin perempuan itu tidak mau mengikut aku.
And I said to my master, Haply the woman will not go with me.
40 Tetapi katanya kepadaku: TUHAN, yang di hadapan-Nya aku hidup, akan mengutus malaikat-Nya menyertai engkau, dan akan membuat perjalananmu berhasil, sehingga engkau akan mengambil bagi anakku seorang isteri dari kaumku dan dari rumah ayahku.
And he said to me, The Lord God to whom I have been acceptable in his presence, himself shall send out his angel with you, and shall prosper your journey, and you shall take a wife for my son of my tribe, and of the house of my father.
41 Barulah engkau lepas dari sumpahmu kepadaku, jika engkau sampai kepada kaumku dan mereka tidak memberikan perempuan itu kepadamu; hanya dalam hal itulah engkau lepas dari sumpahmu kepadaku.
Then shall you be clear from my curse, for whenever you shall have come to my tribe, and they shall not give her to you, then shall you be clear from my oath.
42 Dan hari ini aku sampai ke mata air tadi, lalu kataku: TUHAN, Allah tuanku Abraham, sudilah kiranya Engkau membuat berhasil perjalanan yang kutempuh ini.
And having come this day to the well, I said, Lord God of my master Abraam, if you prosper my journey on which I am now going,
43 Di sini aku berdiri di dekat mata air ini; kiranya terjadi begini: Apabila seorang gadis datang ke luar untuk menimba air dan aku berkata kepadanya: Tolong berikan aku minum air sedikit dari buyungmu itu,
behold, I stand by the well of water, and the daughters of the men of the city come forth to draw water, and it shall be [that] the damsel to whom I shall say, Give me a little water to drink out of your pitcher,
44 dan ia menjawab: Minumlah, dan untuk unta-untamu juga akan kutimba air, --dialah kiranya isteri, yang telah TUHAN tentukan bagi anak tuanku itu.
and she shall say to me, Both drink you, and I will draw water for your camels, this [shall be] the wife whom the Lord has prepared for his own servant Isaac; and hereby shall I know that you have wrought mercy with my master Abraam.
45 Belum lagi aku habis berkata dalam hatiku, Ribka telah datang membawa buyung di atas bahunya, dan turun ke mata air itu, lalu menimba air. Kataku kepadanya: Tolong berikan aku minum.
And it came to pass before I had done speaking in my mind, straightway Rebecca came forth, having her pitcher on her shoulders; and she went down to the well, and drew water; and I said to her, Give me to drink.
46 Segeralah ia menurunkan buyung itu dari atas bahunya serta berkata: Minumlah, dan unta-untamu juga akan kuberi minum. Lalu aku minum, dan unta-unta itu juga diberinya minum.
And she hasted and let down her pitcher on her arm from her head, and said, Drink you, and I will give your camels drink; and I drank, and she gave the camels drink.
47 Sesudah itu aku bertanya kepadanya: Anak siapakah engkau? Jawabnya: Ayahku Betuel anak Nahor yang dilahirkan Milka. Lalu aku mengenakan anting-anting pada hidungnya dan gelang pada tangannya.
And I asked her, and said, Whose daughter are you? tell me; and she said, I am daughter of Bathuel the son of Nachor, whom Melcha bore to him; and I put on her the ear-rings, and the bracelets on her hands.
48 Kemudian berlututlah aku dan sujud menyembah TUHAN, serta memuji TUHAN, Allah tuanku Abraham, yang telah menuntun aku di jalan yang benar untuk mengambil anak perempuan saudara tuanku ini bagi anaknya.
And being well-pleased I worshipped the Lord, and I blessed the Lord the God of my master Abraam, who has prospered me in a true way, so that I should take the daughter of my master's brother for his son.
49 Jadi sekarang, apabila kamu mau menunjukkan kasih dan setia kepada tuanku itu, beritahukanlah kepadaku; dan jika tidak, beritahukanlah juga kepadaku, supaya aku tahu entah berpaling ke kanan atau ke kiri."
If then you [will] deal mercifully and justly with my lord, [tell me], and if not, tell me, that I may turn to the right hand or to the left.
50 Lalu Laban dan Betuel menjawab: "Semuanya ini datangnya dari TUHAN; kami tidak dapat mengatakan kepadamu baiknya atau buruknya.
And Laban and Bathuel answered and said, This matter has come forth from the Lord, we shall not be able to answer you bad or good.
51 Lihat, Ribka ada di depanmu, bawalah dia dan pergilah, supaya ia menjadi isteri anak tuanmu, seperti yang difirmankan TUHAN."
Behold, Rebecca is before you, take her and go away, and let her be wife to the son of your master, as the Lord has said.
52 Ketika hamba Abraham itu mendengar perkataan mereka, sujudlah ia sampai ke tanah menyembah TUHAN.
And it came to pass when the servant of Abraam heard these words, he bowed himself to the Lord down to the earth.
53 Kemudian hamba itu mengeluarkan perhiasan emas dan perak serta pakaian kebesaran, dan memberikan semua itu kepada Ribka; juga kepada saudaranya dan kepada ibunya diberikannya pemberian yang indah-indah.
And the servant having brought forth jewels of silver and gold and raiment, gave them to Rebecca, and gave gifts to her brother, and to her mother.
54 Sesudah itu makan dan minumlah mereka, ia dan orang-orang yang bersama-sama dengan dia, dan mereka bermalam di situ. Paginya sesudah mereka bangun, berkatalah hamba itu: "Lepaslah aku pulang kepada tuanku."
And both he and the men with him ate and drank and went to sleep. And he arose in the morning and said, Send me away, that I may go to my master.
55 Tetapi saudara Ribka berkata, serta ibunya juga: "Biarkanlah anak gadis itu tinggal pada kami barang sepuluh hari lagi, kemudian bolehlah engkau pergi."
And her brethren and her mother said, Let the virgin remain with us about ten days, and after that she shall depart.
56 Tetapi jawabnya kepada mereka: "Janganlah tahan aku, sedang TUHAN telah membuat perjalananku berhasil; lepaslah aku, supaya aku pulang kepada tuanku."
But he said to them, Hinder me not, for the Lord has prospered my journey for me; send me away, that I may depart to my master.
57 Kata mereka: "Baiklah kita panggil anak gadis itu dan menanyakan kepadanya sendiri."
And they said, Let us call the damsel, and enquire at her mouth.
58 Lalu mereka memanggil Ribka dan berkata kepadanya: "Maukah engkau pergi beserta orang ini?" Jawabnya: "Mau."
And they called Rebecca, and said to her, Will you go with this man? and she said, I will go.
59 Maka Ribka, saudara mereka itu, dan inang pengasuhnya beserta hamba Abraham dan orang-orangnya dibiarkan mereka pergi.
So they sent forth Rebecca their sister, and her goods, and the servant of Abraam, and his attendants.
60 Dan mereka memberkati Ribka, kata mereka kepadanya: "Saudara kami, moga-moga engkau menjadi beribu-ribu laksa, dan moga-moga keturunanmu menduduki kota-kota musuhnya."
And they blessed Rebecca, and said to her, You are our sister; become you thousands of myriads, and let your seed possess the cities of their enemies.
61 Lalu berkemaslah Ribka beserta hamba-hambanya perempuan, dan mereka naik unta mengikuti orang itu. Demikianlah hamba itu membawa Ribka lalu berjalan pulang.
And Rebecca rose up and her maidens, and they mounted the camels and went with the man; and the servant having taken up Rebecca, departed.
62 Adapun Ishak telah datang dari arah sumur Lahai-Roi; ia tinggal di Tanah Negeb.
And Isaac went through the wilderness to the well of the vision, and he lived in the land towards the south.
63 Menjelang senja Ishak sedang keluar untuk berjalan-jalan di padang. Ia melayangkan pandangnya, maka dilihatnyalah ada unta-unta datang.
And Isaac went forth into the plain towards evening to meditate; and having lifted up his eyes, he saw camels coming.
64 Ribka juga melayangkan pandangnya dan ketika dilihatnya Ishak, turunlah ia dari untanya.
And Rebecca lifted up her eyes, and saw Isaac; and she alighted briskly from the camel,
65 Katanya kepada hamba itu: "Siapakah laki-laki itu yang berjalan di padang ke arah kita?" Jawab hamba itu: "Dialah tuanku itu." Lalu Ribka mengambil telekungnya dan bertelekunglah ia.
and said to the servant, Who is that man that walks in the plain to meet us? And the servant said, This is my master; and she took her veil and covered herself.
66 Kemudian hamba itu menceritakan kepada Ishak segala yang dilakukannya.
And the servant told Isaac all that he had done.
67 Lalu Ishak membawa Ribka ke dalam kemah Sara, ibunya, dan mengambil dia menjadi isterinya. Ishak mencintainya dan demikian ia dihiburkan setelah ibunya meninggal.
And Isaac went into the house of his mother, and took Rebecca, and she became his wife, and he loved her; and Isaac was comforted for Sarrha his mother.
