Jenesis 24
1 Abrahamuna tusiza huno hakare'a zama'afina Ra Anumzamo'a asomu hunentegeno manino vuno ozafare'ne.
Now Abraham was old; and advanced in age: and the Lord had blessed him in all things.
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 he said to the elder servant of his house, who was ruler over all he had: Put thy hand under my thigh,
3 monane mopanema tro'ma hu'nea Anumzante kagra huvempa hunantenka, Kenani mopafintira ara ne'nimofona avre omigahue hunka huo.
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 Hagi vunka mopa agafa'niare vahe'niafinti a' uvrenka Aisakina eme amio.
But that thou go to my own country and kindred, and take a wife from thence 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?
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 Higeno Abrahamu'a eri'za ne'a asamino, I'o hue! Ne'nimofona avrenka ovutfa hugahane.
And Abraham said: Beware thou never bring my son back again thither.
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 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 Hagi ana a'mo'ma ovugahuema hinkenka huvempama hu'nana kegura korora osunka atrenka eno. Hagi ne'nimofona ana moparera avrenka ovugahane.
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 Anage higeno, eri'za ne'amo'a azana Abrahamu amo'mofo fenka anteno, anankerera huvempa hu'ne.
The servant therefore put his hand under the thigh of Abraham his lord, and swore to him upon this word.
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 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 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 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 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!
O Lord the God of my master Abraham, meet me today, I beseech thee, and show kindness to my master Abraham.
13 Ko, ama tinkerire nagra otina mani'noankino, rankumate vahe'mokizmi mofanemo'za ti afinakura egahaze.
Behold I stand nigh the spring of water, and the daughters of the inhabitants of this city will come out to draw 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, 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 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).
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 Ana mofara vemo ke asane hu'are, vene'nene omase'nea mofamo, tinkerirega uramino kavo'afi ti omefirino marerino e'ne.
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 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 ran to meet her, and said: Give me a little water to drink of thy pitcher.
18 Higeno ana mofa'mo'a anage hu'ne. Ranimoka amne negahane, nehuno ana kavo'a anteramino azeri sga huntegeno ne'ne.
And she answered: Drink, my lord. And quickly she let down the pitcher upon her arm, and gave him drink.
19 Amigeno netegeno, ana mofa'mo'a anage hu'ne, Kemorika'a ana zanke hu'na tina afi zami'nena nezmu hugahaze.
And when he had drunk, she said: I will draw water for thy camels also, till they all drink.
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 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 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.
But he musing beheld her with silence, desirous to know whether the Lord had made his journey prosperous or not.
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 after that the camels had drunk, the man took out golden earrings, weighing two sicles: and as many bracelets of ten sicles weight.
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 he said to her: Whose daughter art thou? tell me: is there any place in thy father’s house to lodge?
24 Higeno ana mofa'mo'a anage huno asami'ne, Nagra Betuel mofa mani'noe. Milkane, Nahorigizni mofavremo kasenante'ne.
And she answered: I am the daughter of Bathuel, the son of Melcha, whom she bore to Nachor.
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 moreover to him: We have good store of both straw and hay, and a large place to lodge in.
26 Higeno ana ne'mo'a kepri huno, Ra Anumza'mofona mono hunte'ne.
The man bowed himself down, and adored 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.
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 Anage higeno ana mofa'mo'a agia reno nerera nompi mani'namokizmi ana naneke ome zamasmi'ne.
Then the maid ran, and told in her mother’s house, all that she had heard.
29 Hagi Rebeka nempu'amofo agi'a Lebani'e. Lebani'a agia reno rankumamofo fegi'a tifi kerire'ma mani'nea nete vu'ne.
And Rebecca had a brother named Laban, who went out in haste to the man, to the well.
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 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 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 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 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.
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 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 bread was set before him. But he said: I will not eat, till I tell my message. He answered him: Speak.
34 Higeno ana eri'za ne'mo'a anage hu'ne, Nagra Abrahamu eri'za ne' e'noe.
And he said: I am the servant of Abraham:
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.
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 Hanki kva'nimofo nenaro Sera'a tavavateteno ne'mofavre kase amigeno, kvanimo'a mika zama'a ana mofavremofo ami vagare'ne.
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 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 swear, saying: Thou shalt not take a wife for my son of the Chanaanites, in whose land I dwell:
38 Hianagi vunka nenfa mopa agafareti, vahe'niafinti ara ome avrenka ne' mofavreni'a eme amio.
But thou shalt go to my father’s house, and shalt take a wife of my own kindred for my son:
39 Hige'na nagra kva'nimofonkura anage hu'noe. Ana a'mo'ma navaririno omenke'na na'a hugahue?
But I answered 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.
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 Hagi kagrama nagri vahepima vananke'za, ana a'ma onkamisnageno'a, nagrama huvempa hu'noa kemo'a kaze'origahie.
But thou shalt be clear from my curse, when thou shalt come to my kindred, if they will not give thee one.
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 well of water, and said: O Lord God of my master Abraham, if thou hast prospered my way, wherein I now walk,
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,
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 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.
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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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.
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 Anage hige'ne Lebanike, Betuelikea ana kemofo nona'a anage huke asami'na'e, Ra Anumzamo amanahu'zana higu, tagra mago kea osugahu'e.
And Laban and Bathuel answered: The word hath proceeded from the Lord, we cannot speak any other thing to thee but his pleasure.
51 Rebeka'a ama kavuga mani'neanki, Ra Anumzamo'ma kema hiaza hunka avrenka vugeno, kva kamofo ne'mofo nenaro'za ome hino.
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 Hagi Abrahamu eri'za ne'mo'ma ana kema nentahino'a, kepri huno mopafi rena reno Ra Anumzamofona muse hunte'ne.
Which when Abraham’s servant heard, falling down to the ground he adored 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.
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 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.
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 Hianagi nempu'amo'ene nererakea anage hu'na'e, A'o, atrenkeno mago'agna maniteno, 10ni'agna nazana agaterete'na avreta vugahaze.
And her brother and mother answered: Let the maid stay at least ten days with us, and afterwards she shall depart.
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.
Stay me not, said he, because the Lord hath prospered my way: send me away, that I may go to my master.
57 Higene, ana mofa'mofo avesi antahigeta kesune,
And they said: Let us call the maid, and ask her will.
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 called her, and when she was come, they asked: Wilt thou go with this man? She said: I will go.
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 her away, and her nurse, and Abraham’s servant, and his company,
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.
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 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 Rebecca and her maids, being set upon camels, followed the man: who with speed returned to his master.
62 Hagi ana knafina Aisaki'a Ber-lahai-roiti eno, Negev emani'ne.
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 Aisaki'a mago kinaga vuno hofage kopi umani'neno agesa antahi antahi nehuno kesga huno keana, kemori'zaga neageno ke'ne.
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 Rebeka'a kesga huno Aisakina negeno, kemori agumpinti eramino,
Rebecca also, when she saw Isaac, lighted off the 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 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 Hagi eri'za ne'mo'a hakare zama hu'nea zana Aisakina asami vagare'ne.
And the servant told Isaac all that 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.
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.
