Jenesis 24
1 Abrahamuna tusiza huno hakare'a zama'afina Ra Anumzamo'a asomu hunentegeno manino vuno ozafare'ne.
Abraham was now a very old man. Yahweh had blessed Abraham in many ways.
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,
One day Abraham said to the chief servant of his household, the man who was in charge of everything Abraham owned, “Put your hand between my thighs to solemnly promise you will do what I tell you.
3 monane mopanema tro'ma hu'nea Anumzante kagra huvempa hunantenka, Kenani mopafintira ara ne'nimofona avre omigahue hunka huo.
Knowing that Yahweh God [who created] the heavens and the earth is listening, promise that you will not get a wife for my son, Isaac, from the women here in Canaan.
4 Hagi vunka mopa agafa'niare vahe'niafinti a' uvrenka Aisakina eme amio.
Instead, go back to my country and to my relatives and get a wife for my son Isaac from among them.”
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 asked him, “If I find a woman among your relatives, what if she is not willing to come back with me to this land? Shall I take your son back there to the country you came from, [so he can find a wife and live there]?”
6 Higeno Abrahamu'a eri'za ne'a asamino, I'o hue! Ne'nimofona avrenka ovutfa hugahane.
Abraham replied to him, “No! Be certain that you don’t take my son there!
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.
Yahweh God, who created the heavens, brought me here. He brought me from my father’s household, and from the land where my relatives lived. He spoke to me and made a solemn promise to me, saying, ‘I will give this land [of Canaan] to your descendants.’ He will send an angel who will go there ahead of you, and enable you to get a wife for my son [there and bring her to live here].
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 you find will not come back with you, you are free to disregard the promise you are making. The only thing that you must not do is to take my son to live there!”
9 Anage higeno, eri'za ne'amo'a azana Abrahamu amo'mofo fenka anteno, anankerera huvempa hu'ne.
So the servant put his hand between Abraham’s thighs and made a solemn promise about the matter.
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.
Then the servant took ten of his master’s camels and loaded them with all kinds of goods that his master gave him to take along. Then he left to go to Aram-Naharaim, [which is in (northern Mesopotamia/Syria)]. He arrived in Nahor city.
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.
It was late in the afternoon, at the time when the women go to the well to get water, when he arrived there. He made the camels kneel down near the well, which was outside the city.
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!
The servant prayed, “Yahweh God whom my master Abraham worships, enable me to be successful today! Act kindly to my master, Abraham!
13 Ko, ama tinkerire nagra otina mani'noankino, rankumate vahe'mokizmi mofanemo'za ti afinakura egahaze.
Listen to me. I am standing near a well of water, and the young women of the city are coming 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.
I am asking you this: ‘I will say to some girl, “Please lower your jar so that I may drink some water.” If she says, “Drink some, and I will draw some water [from the well] for your camels, too,” I will know that she is the woman whom you chose to be a wife for your servant, Isaac, and I will know that you have been kind 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).
Before he finished praying, [amazingly], Rebekah arrived there, carrying a jar on her shoulder. She was the daughter of Bethuel, who was the son of Milcah, the wife of Abraham’s younger brother Nahor.
16 Ana mofara vemo ke asane hu'are, vene'nene omase'nea mofamo, tinkerirega uramino kavo'afi ti omefirino marerino e'ne.
She was very beautiful and still a virgin. She went down to the edge of the well, filled her jar with water, and then came back up.
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.
Abraham’s servant immediately ran to meet her, and said, “Please give me a little water from your jar.”
18 Higeno ana mofa'mo'a anage hu'ne. Ranimoka amne negahane, nehuno ana kavo'a anteramino azeri sga huntegeno ne'ne.
She replied, “Drink some, sir!” She lowered her jar from her shoulder to her hands and 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.
After she had finished giving him a drink, she said, “I will also get some water for your camels, until they have had enough to 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.
She quickly emptied the water in her jar into the trough [for giving water to animals], and then ran back to the well, and kept getting 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.
The servant just watched her, without saying anything. He wanted to know if Yahweh had caused his trip to be successful 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.
Finally, after the camels finished drinking, the servant took out a gold nose ring that weighed (two ounces/6 grams), and two large gold bracelets for her arms, and gave them to Rebekah [and told her to put them on].
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?
Then he said, “Tell me whose daughter you are. Also, tell me, is there room in your father’s house for me and my men to sleep there tonight?”
24 Higeno ana mofa'mo'a anage huno asami'ne, Nagra Betuel mofa mani'noe. Milkane, Nahorigizni mofavremo kasenante'ne.
She replied, “My father’s name is Bethuel. He is the son of Nahor and his wife Milcah.
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.
Yes, we have room where you all can sleep tonight, and we also have plenty of straw and grain to feed the camels.”
26 Higeno ana ne'mo'a kepri huno, Ra Anumza'mofona mono hunte'ne.
The servant bowed and worshiped Yahweh.
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.
He said, “I thank you, Yahweh God, whom my master Abraham worships. You have continued to be kind and faithful to my master. You led me on this journey straight/directly to the house of my master’s relatives!”
28 Anage higeno ana mofa'mo'a agia reno nerera nompi mani'namokizmi ana naneke ome zamasmi'ne.
The girl ran and told everyone in her mother’s household about what had happened.
29 Hagi Rebeka nempu'amofo agi'a Lebani'e. Lebani'a agia reno rankumamofo fegi'a tifi kerire'ma mani'nea nete vu'ne.
Rebekah had a brother whose name was Laban. Laban went quickly to Abraham’s servant, who was still by 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.
He was surprised to have seen the bracelets on his sister’s arms and the nose ring and to have heard Rebekah tell what the man had said to her. So he went out and saw the man standing near the camels, close to the well.
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.
He said to the man, “You who have been blessed by Yahweh, come with me! (Why are standing out here?/You should not keep standing out here!) [RHQ] I have prepared a room for you in the house, and a place for the camels to stay.”
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.
So the servant went to the house, and Laban’s servants unloaded the camels, and brought straw and grain for the camels, and water for him and the men with him to wash 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.
They set food in front of him for him to eat, but he said, “I will not eat until I tell you (what I need to tell you/why I have come).” So Laban said, “Tell us!”
34 Higeno ana eri'za ne'mo'a anage hu'ne, Nagra Abrahamu eri'za ne' e'noe.
So the servant 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.
Yahweh has greatly blessed my master so that he has become very rich. Yahweh has given him many sheep and cattle, a lot of gold and silver, male and female servants, camels and donkeys.
36 Hanki kva'nimofo nenaro Sera'a tavavateteno ne'mofavre kase amigeno, kvanimo'a mika zama'a ana mofavremofo ami vagare'ne.
My master’s wife, Sarah, bore a son for him when she was very old, and my master has given to his son everything he owns.
37 Kva'nimo'a huvempa hunanteno, amama emani'noa Kenani vahe'mokizmi mopafintira ne' mofavreni'arera ara avre omigahane huno hu'ne.
My master made me solemnly promise, saying, ‘Do not get a wife for my son from the women here in Canaan.
38 Hianagi vunka nenfa mopa agafareti, vahe'niafinti ara ome avrenka ne' mofavreni'a eme amio.
Instead, go back to my father’s family, to my own clan, and get from them a wife for my son.’
39 Hige'na nagra kva'nimofonkura anage hu'noe. Ana a'mo'ma navaririno omenke'na na'a hugahue?
Then I asked my master, ‘What shall I do if the woman you show me will not come back 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.
He replied, ‘Yahweh, whom I have always obeyed [MTY], will send his angel with you, and he will cause your journey to be successful, with the result that you can get a wife for my son from my clan, from my father’s family.
41 Hagi kagrama nagri vahepima vananke'za, ana a'ma onkamisnageno'a, nagrama huvempa hu'noa kemo'a kaze'origahie.
But if my clan refuses to allow her to return with you, you will be freed from being cursed because of not obeying me.’
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,
“When I came today to the well, I prayed, ‘Yahweh God whom my master, Abraham worships, if you are willing, please allow this journey of mine to be successful.
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,
Listen to me. I am standing beside a well. A young woman may come to draw water. I will say to her, “Please, give me a little water to drink from your jar.”
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.
If she says to me, “Certainly, drink some! And I will also draw some water for your camels,” that will be the woman whom you have chosen 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.
Before I finished praying, [amazingly], Rebekah approached with her water jar on her shoulder. She went down to the well and got some water. I said to her, ‘Please 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.
She quickly lowered her jar and said, ‘Drink some! And I will draw water [from the well] for your camels, too.’ So I drank some water, and she also got water for 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.
Then I asked her, ‘Whose daughter are you?’ She said, ‘The daughter of Bethuel, the son of Nahor and his wife, Milcah.’ I had [a ring and bracelets with me, and] I put the ring in her nose and put the bracelets on her arms.
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.
Then I bowed and worshiped Yahweh, and I thanked Yahweh God, the one my master Abraham worships, the one who led me on the right road to get the granddaughter of my master’s brother to be a wife for my master’s 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.
Now, if you are kind and faithful to my master, tell me that you will do what I am asking. If you will not do that, tell me that also, so I may know what to do [MTY].”
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.
Laban and Bethuel answered, “It is clear that Yahweh has caused this to happen. So we two cannot say anything more.
51 Rebeka'a ama kavuga mani'neanki, Ra Anumzamo'ma kema hiaza hunka avrenka vugeno, kva kamofo ne'mofo nenaro'za ome hino.
Rebekah is here in front of you. Take her and go, and let her be a wife for your master’s son, just as Yahweh has indicated.”
52 Hagi Abrahamu eri'za ne'mo'ma ana kema nentahino'a, kepri huno mopafi rena reno Ra Anumzamofona muse hunte'ne.
When Abraham’s servant heard these words, he bowed down to the ground to [thank] Yahweh.
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 the servant brought out silver and gold jewelry and clothes, and gave them to Rebekah. And he gave gifts to her brother Laban 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.
Then they ate a meal together. The men who were with Abraham’s servant also slept there that night. The next morning, the servant said, “Allow me now to return 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 replied, “Let the girl remain with us for about ten days. After that, you may take her and 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.
But he replied to them, “Yahweh has made my journey successful, so do not detain me. Let me take her back to my master now!”
57 Higene, ana mofa'mofo avesi antahigeta kesune,
They said, “Let’s call Rebekah and ask her what she wants to do.” [MTY]
58 nehu'za Rebekana ke hakeno ege'ne antahige'na'e, Kagra ama ne'enena vugahano? Hazageno ana mofamo'a huno, ozo vugahue.
So they summoned Rebekah and asked her, “Will you go with this man now?” She replied, “Yes, 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 allowed Rebekah, a woman who had taken care of her when she was very young, Abraham’s servant, and the men who had come with him. to go.
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.
Before they all left, they [asked God to] bless Rebekah, and said to her, “Our sister, we ask that Yahweh will cause you to have millions of descendants, and allow them to completely defeat [MET] all those that hate 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.
Then Rebekah and her maid servants got ready and got on their camels and went with Abraham’s servant.
62 Hagi ana knafina Aisaki'a Ber-lahai-roiti eno, Negev emani'ne.
At that time, Isaac was living in the Negev desert. He had gone there from Beer-Lahai-Roi.
63 Aisaki'a mago kinaga vuno hofage kopi umani'neno agesa antahi antahi nehuno kesga huno keana, kemori'zaga neageno ke'ne.
One evening he went out into the field to meditate as he walked. He looked up and [was surprised to] see some camels coming.
64 Rebeka'a kesga huno Aisakina negeno, kemori agumpinti eramino,
Rebekah also looked up and saw Isaac. She got 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 asked the servant, “Who is that man who is approaching?” The servant replied, “That is Isaac, my master, [the man you will be marrying].” So she took her veil and covered her face, which was the custom for a woman who was about to be married.
66 Hagi eri'za ne'mo'a hakare zama hu'nea zana Aisakina asami vagare'ne.
The servant told Isaac everything that had happened.
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.
Then Isaac took Rebekah into the tent that belonged to his mother, Sarah, and she became his wife. And he loved her. So Isaac was comforted about his mother’s death.
