< Jenesis 24 >

1 Abrahamuna tusiza huno hakare'a zama'afina Ra Anumzamo'a asomu hunentegeno manino vuno ozafare'ne.
Now Abraham was old and far on in years: and the Lord had given him everything in full measure.
2 Korapa eri'za ne'a, maka'a fenonte'ene nonte kegava kri'nea ne'ku, Abrahamu'a amanage huno asami'ne, Muse (plis) hugantoanki kazana namo'mofo fenka antenenka,
And Abraham said to his chief servant, the manager of all his property, Come now, put your hand under my leg:
3 monane mopanema tro'ma hu'nea Anumzante kagra huvempa hunantenka, Kenani mopafintira ara ne'nimofona avre omigahue hunka huo.
And take an oath by the Lord, the God of heaven and the God of the earth, that you will not get a wife for my son Isaac from the daughters of the Canaanites among whom I am living;
4 Hagi vunka mopa agafa'niare vahe'niafinti a' uvrenka Aisakina eme amio.
But that you will go into my country and to my relations and get a wife there for my son Isaac.
5 Higeno eri'za ne'amo'a Abrahamuna asamino, Hagi ana a'mo'ma navaririno'ma ama mopare omena, ete negamofona avre'na mopakare ome atregahufi?
And the servant said, If by chance the woman will not come with me into this land, am I to take your son back again to the land from which you came?
6 Higeno Abrahamu'a eri'za ne'a asamino, I'o hue! Ne'nimofona avrenka ovutfa hugahane.
And Abraham said, Take care that you do not let my son go back to that land.
7 Hagi monafinkati Ra Anumzamo'ma nenfa vahepinti'ene fore hu'noa mopareti'ma nagima huteno, navareno eme nante'nea Anumzamo'a amanage huno huvempa huno nasmi'ne, ama mopa nagakamofo zamigahue huno hu'neankino, Anumzamo'a mago ankero vahera huntenkeno kagota huno vanigenka, Aisaki nenarona anantegati uvarenka egahane.
The Lord God of heaven, who took me from my father's house and from the land of my birth, and made an oath to me, saying, To your seed I will give this land: he will send his angel before you and give you a wife for my son in that land.
8 Hagi ana a'mo'ma ovugahuema hinkenka huvempama hu'nana kegura korora osunka atrenka eno. Hagi ne'nimofona ana moparera avrenka ovugahane.
And if the woman will not come with you, then you are free from this oath; only do not take my son back there.
9 Anage higeno, eri'za ne'amo'a azana Abrahamu amo'mofo fenka anteno, anankerera huvempa hu'ne.
And the servant put his hand under Abraham's leg, and gave him his oath about this thing.
10 Eri'za ne'amo'a ozafa'amofo kemoriramimpintira 10ni'a kemori afu nezmavreno, mago'a knare'nare zana e'nerino, otino Nahori rankumate Mesopotamia vu'ne.
And the servant took ten of his master's camels, and all sorts of good things of his master's, and went to Mesopotamia, to the town of Nahor.
11 Eri'za ne'mo'ma anantegama vuteno'a, kemori afu'tmina zamazeri zamarena rezmantege'za, kinaga a'nemo'za ti nefiza knare rankuma'mofo fegi'a tinkerire mani'naze.
And he made the camels take their rest outside the town by the water-spring in the evening, at the time when the women came to get water.
12 Eri'za ne'mo'a amanage huno nunamu hu'ne, Ra Anumzane, kvanimofo Abrahamu Anumzamoka muse (plis) hugantoanki, menina antahinaminka, ozafani'a Abrahamuna avesintenka azeri so'e hanane!
And he said, O Lord, the God of my master Abraham, let me do well in what I have undertaken this day, and give your mercy to my master Abraham.
13 Ko, ama tinkerire nagra otina mani'noankino, rankumate vahe'mokizmi mofanemo'za ti afinakura egahaze.
See, I am waiting here by the water-spring; and the daughters of the town are coming out to get water:
14 Mago mofaku'ma hu'na, muse (plis) hugantoanki, ti afi kavoka'a ante mopafitege'na tina afi'na na'neno nehanugeno, tina nenege'na kemorika'a tina afi zami'neno huno hanimo, eri'za neka'a Aisaki nenaro'za hugahie. Anama hinke'na ozafani'a Abrahamuna avesintenka azeri so'e hane hu'na hugahue.
Now, may the girl to whom I say, Let down your vessel and give me a drink, and who says in answer, Here is a drink for you and let me give water to your camels: may she be the one marked out by you for your servant Isaac: so may I be certain that you have been good to my master Abraham.
15 Ana eri'za ne'mo'a nunamuna huvaga ore'negeno, mago mofara Rebekakino agra ti afi kavo afunte kofi'neno rankumapintira atirmino e'ne. Rebeka'a Betueli mofa mani'neankino Milka kasente'ne. (Milka'a Abrahamu negna Nahori nenaro'e).
And even before his words were ended, Rebekah, the daughter of Bethuel, the son of Milcah, who was the wife of Nahor, Abraham's brother, came out with her water-vessel on her arm.
16 Ana mofara vemo ke asane hu'are, vene'nene omase'nea mofamo, tinkerirega uramino kavo'afi ti omefirino marerino e'ne.
She was a very beautiful girl, a virgin, who had never been touched by a man: and she went down to the spring to get water in her vessel.
17 Abrahamu eri'za ne'mo'a, ana mofa'mo'ma ti afirino marenerigeno agia reno vuno anage huno ome antahigene, Muse hugantoanki kavoka'afinti osi'a tina namisnanke'na nesanue.
And the servant came running to her and said, Give me a little water from your vessel.
18 Higeno ana mofa'mo'a anage hu'ne. Ranimoka amne negahane, nehuno ana kavo'a anteramino azeri sga huntegeno ne'ne.
And she said, Take a drink, my lord: and quickly letting down her vessel onto her hand, she gave him a drink.
19 Amigeno netegeno, ana mofa'mo'a anage hu'ne, Kemorika'a ana zanke hu'na tina afi zami'nena nezmu hugahaze.
And having done so, she said, I will get water for your camels till they have had enough.
20 Huteno ame huno Rebeka'a tina kavo'afinti afu'moza ti nenaza zompafi taginte zamantege'za nenageno, ufino ete ete huno neragige'za ana maka kemorimo'za nezamu hu'naze.
And after putting the water from her vessel into the animals' drinking-place, she went quickly back to the spring and got water for all the camels.
21 Ana nehigeno Abrahanu eriza ne'mo ke osuno ana mofa'mofo avufi negeno, kama e'noa zamofona, Anumzamo'a ama naza hu'za nehifi huno agesa antahi'ne.
And the man, looking at her, said nothing, waiting to see if the Lord had given his journey a good outcome.
22 Kemorimo'za tina nehana hutageno, ana eri'za ne'mo'a golire tro hu'naza rini kna'amo'a 5fu'a gremi hu'neane, manogosane, golire tro hu'nea tare asana tarega azampi antaninte'neankino golimofo kna'amo'a 100'a grem hu'ne.
And when the camels had had enough, the man took a gold nose-ring, half a shekel in weight, and two ornaments for her arms of ten shekels weight of gold;
23 Nehuno ana mofaku huno, Muse (plis) hugantoanki iza mofa kagra mani'nampi nasamio? Knare negafa nompina kankamuna me'nesigu ama nagranema enaza vahe'enena umasegahuno?
And said to her, Whose daughter are you? is there room in your father's house for us?
24 Higeno ana mofa'mo'a anage huno asami'ne, Nagra Betuel mofa mani'noe. Milkane, Nahorigizni mofavremo kasenante'ne.
And she said to him, I am the daughter of Bethuel, the son of Milcah, Nahor's wife.
25 Ana mofa'mo'a mago'ane eri'za nera asmino, kemorimo'ma nesia ne'zane trazanena hakare'a megeno, mase kankamunena me'neankinka meni kenagera masegahane.
And she said, We have a great store of dry grass and cattle-food, and there is room for you.
26 Higeno ana ne'mo'a kepri huno, Ra Anumza'mofona mono hunte'ne.
And with bent head the man gave worship to the Lord;
27 Ana huteno ana eri'za ne'mo'a anage hu'ne, Kvani'a Abrahamu Ra Anumzamofona ra agi amue. Ozafa'nimofona agekani onteno soe'za hunenteno aza nehie. Hanki nagrira Ra Anumzamo naza nehuno kana naverige'na, ozafanimofo afu'agna nompi efatgo hue.
And said, Praise be to the Lord, the God of my master Abraham, who has given a sign that he is good and true to my master, by guiding me straight to the house of my master's family.
28 Anage higeno ana mofa'mo'a agia reno nerera nompi mani'namokizmi ana naneke ome zamasmi'ne.
So the girl went running and took the news of these things to her mother's house
29 Hagi Rebeka nempu'amofo agi'a Lebani'e. Lebani'a agia reno rankumamofo fegi'a tifi kerire'ma mani'nea nete vu'ne.
Now Rebekah had a brother named Laban, and he came out quickly to the man at the water-spring.
30 Hagi nesaro Rebekama agonafima manogosane, azampima asama antani'neno ana eri'za ne'mo'ma asami'nea kema ome asamigeno nentahino'a, Lebani'a vuno ome keana tinkerire ana ne'mo'a kemori afu'zagane oti'negeno ome ke'ne.
And when he saw the nose-ring and the ornaments on his sister's hands, and when she gave him word of what the man had said to her, then he went out to the man who was waiting with the camels by the water-spring.
31 Lebani'a ana nera asamino, Ra Anumzamo'a asomu hugantene'moka no agu'afi emarerio. Nahigenka fegira mani'nane, noma masesana zane kamorimokizmi kuma'enena nagra ko erise hunte'noe.
And he said to him, Come in, you on whom is the blessing of the Lord; why are you waiting outside? for I have made the house ready for you, and a place for the camels.
32 Hagi ana ne'mo'ma nompima marerigeno'a, anante Lebani'a kemori agumpinti fenoma'a erinenteno, osapa trazane ne'zane kemorimofona nezmino, agia sesehu ti tagi zamige'za agrane e'naza vahe'ene zamaga sese hu'naze.
Then the man came into the house, and Laban took their cords off the camels and gave them dry grass and food, and he gave to him and the men who were with him water for washing their feet.
33 Ne'za kre'za avuga eme antenentageno ana eri'za ne'mo'a amanage hu'ne, Kavera one'nena amafima e'noa zamofo agafa'a tamasamite'na ne'zana negahue. Higeno Lebani'a anage hu'ne, Knareki tasamisanketa antahisune.
And meat was put before him, but he said, I will not take food till I have made my business clear to you. And they said, Do so.
34 Higeno ana eri'za ne'mo'a anage hu'ne, Nagra Abrahamu eri'za ne' e'noe.
And he said, I am Abraham's servant.
35 Ra Anumzamo'a tusiza huno ozafa'nimofona asomu hunentegeno afufeno ne' mani'ne. Ra Anumzamo'a sipisipima, bulimakaoma, silvama, golima, eri'za vene'nema, eri'za a'nema, kemorima, donkima huno ami'ne.
The Lord has given my master every blessing, and he has become great: he has given him flocks and herds and silver and gold, and men-servants and women-servants and camels and asses.
36 Hanki kva'nimofo nenaro Sera'a tavavateteno ne'mofavre kase amigeno, kvanimo'a mika zama'a ana mofavremofo ami vagare'ne.
And when Sarah, my master's wife, was old, she gave birth to a son, to whom he has given all he has.
37 Kva'nimo'a huvempa hunanteno, amama emani'noa Kenani vahe'mokizmi mopafintira ne' mofavreni'arera ara avre omigahane huno hu'ne.
And my master made me take an oath, saying, Do not get a wife for my son from the daughters of the Canaanites among whom I am living;
38 Hianagi vunka nenfa mopa agafareti, vahe'niafinti ara ome avrenka ne' mofavreni'a eme amio.
But go to my father's house and to my relations for a wife for my son.
39 Hige'na nagra kva'nimofonkura anage hu'noe. Ana a'mo'ma navaririno omenke'na na'a hugahue?
And I said to my master, What if the woman will not come with me?
40 Hugeno agra huno, nagrama amage'ma nentoa Ra Anumzamo'a, Agra ankero vahe'a huntenkeno kagrane nevina, kama vanana kamo'a knare hanigenka, vahe'ni'afinti nenfa nagapinti ne'nimofo ara uvregahane hu'ne.
And he said, The Lord, whom I have ever kept before me, will send his angel with you, who will make it possible for you to get a wife for my son from my relations and my father's house;
41 Hagi kagrama nagri vahepima vananke'za, ana a'ma onkamisnageno'a, nagrama huvempa hu'noa kemo'a kaze'origahie.
And you will be free from your oath to me when you come to my people; and if they will not give her to you, you will be free from your oath.
42 Hige'na nagra tinkerire enehanati'na amanage hu'na nunamuna hu'noe, Ra Anumzamoka kvanimofo Abrahamu Anumzamoka naza nehanankeno kama e'noa kamo'a knare hugahianki,
And I came today to the water-spring, and I said, O Lord, the God of my master Abraham, if it is your purpose to give a good outcome to my journey,
43 amare nagra oti'na tinkerire mani'nesnugeno, ina mofamo'o ti afiku'ma esanige'na ana mofaku hu'na, muse (plis) hugantoanki tina kavoka'afintira osi'a namige'na na'neno hanugeno,
Let it come about that, while I am waiting here by the water-spring, if a girl comes to get water and I say to her, Give me a little water from your vessel, and she says,
44 ana mofamo'ma nasmino, tina nenege'na kemorikamokizmi tina afi'na eme zami'neno huno hanimo, kvanimofo ne'mofo ara Kagra hampri nentane hu'na antahigahue.
Take a drink, and I will get water for your camels; let her be the woman marked out by the Lord for my master's son.
45 Anage hu'na nagu'afinka nunamuna nehugeno, Rebeka'a kavo afunte kofino tinkerireti ti afinaku uramigena kete'na, muse (plis) hugantoanki ti afi namige'na na'neno.
And even while I was saying this to myself, Rebekah came out with her vessel on her arm; and she went down to the spring to get water; and I said to her, Give me a drink.
46 Hugeno kavo'a afuntetira ame huno anteme neramino amanage hu'ne, Tina nenege'na, kemorika'aramina tina afi zamineno huno hige'na, nenogeno kemori nagara ti afizamige'za ne'naze.
And straight away she took down her vessel from her arm, and said, Take a drink, and I will get water for your camels.
47 Ana higena nagra anage hu'na antahige'noe, kagra iza mofa mani'nane? Hugeno Nahori nenaro Milka'ma kasentenea mofavre Betueli mofa mani'noe huno higena, agonafi rinia renente'na, asana azantrempi antaninte'noe.
And questioning her, I said, Whose daughter are you? And she said, The daughter of Bethuel, the son of Nahor, and Milcah his wife. Then I put the ring on her nose and the ornaments on her hands.
48 Ana hute'na kepri hu'na Ra Anumzamofona mono hunte'noe. Ra Anumzamofo agi ahesga hu'na, kvanimofo Abrahamu Anumzamo'a kva hunantege'na kvani'mofo afu'aganampinti ne'amofo ara kena erifore hu'noe.
And with bent head I gave worship and praise to the Lord, the God of my master Abraham, by whom I had been guided in the right way, to get the daughter of my master's brother for his son.
49 Hagi menima kva'nimofoma antahimisuta, na'ane huna ome asamigahufi nasami fatgo hiho. Hagi anama osanuta nasaminke'na, nagra nentahi'na, nazano hunaku'ma hanua zana ha'neno.
And now, say if you will do what is good and right for my master or not, in order that it may be clear to me what I have to do.
50 Anage hige'ne Lebanike, Betuelikea ana kemofo nona'a anage huke asami'na'e, Ra Anumzamo amanahu'zana higu, tagra mago kea osugahu'e.
Then Laban and Bethuel said in answer, This is the Lord's doing: it is not for us to say Yes or No to you.
51 Rebeka'a ama kavuga mani'neanki, Ra Anumzamo'ma kema hiaza hunka avrenka vugeno, kva kamofo ne'mofo nenaro'za ome hino.
See, here is Rebekah: take her and go, and let her be your master's son's wife, as the Lord has said.
52 Hagi Abrahamu eri'za ne'mo'ma ana kema nentahino'a, kepri huno mopafi rena reno Ra Anumzamofona muse hunte'ne.
And at these words, Abraham's servant went down on his face and gave praise to the Lord.
53 Abrahamu eri'za ne'mo'a avasese hu'zana silvare'ene, golire tro hu'naza zane, kukenane Rebekana nemino, ana zanke huno mago'a knare'nare zantamina zago'amo mareri'nea zana nesarone, nererane zanami'ne.
Then he took jewels of silver and jewels of gold and fair robes and gave them to Rebekah: and he gave things of value to her mother and her brother.
54 Ana hutege'za ana eri'za ne'ene agrane e'naza naga'mo'zanena kave'ene tinena nete'za mase'naze. Ko'atige'za o'neti'za nanterampi Abrahamu eri'za ne'mo'a amanage huno zamasmi'ne, Nazeorita natrenke'na ete kvanimo'ma maninerega va'neno.
Then he and the men who were with him had food and drink, and took their rest there that night; and in the morning he got up, and said, Let me now go back to my master.
55 Hianagi nempu'amo'ene nererakea anage hu'na'e, A'o, atrenkeno mago'agna maniteno, 10ni'agna nazana agaterete'na avreta vugahaze.
But her brother and her mother said, Let the girl be with us a week or ten days, and then she may go.
56 Hianagi eri'za ne'mo'a huno, Ra Anumzamo naza higeno eri'zanimo'a knare hianki, nazeri onteta natrenke'na ete kvanima mani'nerega va'neno.
And he said, Do not keep me; the Lord has given a good outcome to my journey; let me now go back to my master.
57 Higene, ana mofa'mofo avesi antahigeta kesune,
And they said, We will send for the girl, and let her make the decision.
58 nehu'za Rebekana ke hakeno ege'ne antahige'na'e, Kagra ama ne'enena vugahano? Hazageno ana mofamo'a huno, ozo vugahue.
And they sent for Rebekah and said to her, Are you ready to go with this man? And she said, I am ready.
59 Anagema hige'za zamagra nezmasaro Rebekama, kegavama hunentea a'ene, Abrahamu eri'za ne'ene, agranema e'naza naga'ene ana makamokizmia huzmante'naze.
So they sent their sister Rebekah and her servant with Abraham's servant and his men.
60 Rebekana asomu ke hunente'za amanage hu'naze, Tagri nersaroga, kagripintira tusi'a vahe krerfa fore hugahaze. Hagi kagri kagehe'za zamesi ozmantesaza vahe'mokizmi rankumazmi zamahe'za hanaregahaze.
And they gave Rebekah their blessing, saying, O sister, may you be the mother of thousands and ten thousands; and may your seed overcome all those who make war against them.
61 Hagi Rebeka'ene mago'a agri eri'za a'nene kemori agumpi mareri'za, ana ne'mofo amage vu'naze. Higeno Abrahamu eri'za ne'mo'a Rebekana avreno vu'ne.
So Rebekah and her servant-women went with the man, seated on the camels; and so the servant took Rebekah and went on his way.
62 Hagi ana knafina Aisaki'a Ber-lahai-roiti eno, Negev emani'ne.
Now Isaac had come through the waste land to Beer-lahai-roi; for he was living in the South.
63 Aisaki'a mago kinaga vuno hofage kopi umani'neno agesa antahi antahi nehuno kesga huno keana, kemori'zaga neageno ke'ne.
And when the evening was near, he went wandering out into the fields, and lifting up his eyes he saw camels coming.
64 Rebeka'a kesga huno Aisakina negeno, kemori agumpinti eramino,
And when Rebekah, looking up, saw Isaac, she got down from her camel,
65 eri'za nekura amanage hu'ne, Aza amanu nera tavrenakura ne-e? Higeno eri'za ne'mo'a huno, E'i nagri kvani'e, higeno Rebeka'a tavrave erino avugosa refite'ne.
And said to the servant, Who is that man coming to us through the field? And the servant said, It is my master: then she took her veil, covering her face with it.
66 Hagi eri'za ne'mo'a hakare zama hu'nea zana Aisakina asami vagare'ne.
Then the servant gave Isaac the story of all he had done.
67 Ana hutegeno Aisaki'a Rebekana avreno nerera Sera seli nompi ome antegeno nenaro'za higeno, avesintene. Aisakina nerera'a fri'nere amena eme arentinti hu'ne.
And Isaac took Rebekah into his tent and she became his wife; and in his love for her, Isaac was comforted after his father's death.
