< Jenesis 24 >

1 Abrahamuna tusiza huno hakare'a zama'afina Ra Anumzamo'a asomu hunentegeno manino vuno ozafare'ne.
Now Abraham was very old and Yahweh had blessed Abraham 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,
Abraham said to his servant, the one who was the oldest of his household and who was in charge of all that he had, “Put your hand under my thigh
3 monane mopanema tro'ma hu'nea Anumzante kagra huvempa hunantenka, Kenani mopafintira ara ne'nimofona avre omigahue hunka huo.
and I will make you swear by Yahweh, the God of heaven and the God of the earth, that you will not get a wife for my son from the daughters of the Canaanites, among whom I make my home.
4 Hagi vunka mopa agafa'niare vahe'niafinti a' uvrenka Aisakina eme amio.
But you will go to my country, and to my relatives, and get a wife 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 said to him, “What if the woman will not be willing to follow me to this land? Must I take your son back to the land from which you came?”
6 Higeno Abrahamu'a eri'za ne'a asamino, I'o hue! Ne'nimofona avrenka ovutfa hugahane.
Abraham said to him, “Make sure that you do not take my son back 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, the God of heaven, who took me from my father's house and from the land of my relatives, and who promised me with a solemn oath saying, 'To your offspring I will give this land,' he will send his angel before you, and you will get a wife for my son from there.
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 is not willing to follow you, then you will be free from this oath of mine. Only you are not to take my son back 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 under the thigh of Abraham his master, and swore to him concerning this 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.
The servant took ten of his master's camels and departed. He also took with him all kinds of gifts from his master. He departed and went to the region of Aram Naharaim, to the city 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.
He made the camels kneel down outside the city by the well of water. It was evening, the time that women go out to draw 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!
Then he said, “Yahweh, God of my master Abraham, grant me success today and show covenant faithfulness to my master Abraham.
13 Ko, ama tinkerire nagra otina mani'noankino, rankumate vahe'mokizmi mofanemo'za ti afinakura egahaze.
Look, here I am standing by the spring of water, and the daughters of the men of the city are coming 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.
Let it happen like this. When I say to a young woman, 'Please lower your pitcher so that I may drink,' and she says to me, 'Drink, and I will water your camels too,' then let her be the one that you have appointed for your servant Isaac. By this I will know that you have shown covenant faithfulness 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).
It came about that even before he had finished speaking, behold, Rebekah came out with her water pitcher on her shoulder. Rebekah was born to Bethuel son of Milkah, the wife of Nahor, Abraham's brother.
16 Ana mofara vemo ke asane hu'are, vene'nene omase'nea mofamo, tinkerirega uramino kavo'afi ti omefirino marerino e'ne.
The young woman was very beautiful and a virgin. No man had slept with her. She went down to the spring and filled her pitcher, and came 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.
Then the servant ran to meet her and said, “Please give me a little drink of water from your pitcher.”
18 Higeno ana mofa'mo'a anage hu'ne. Ranimoka amne negahane, nehuno ana kavo'a anteramino azeri sga huntegeno ne'ne.
She said, “Drink, my master,” and she quickly let down her pitcher on her hand, 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.
When she had finished giving him a drink, she said, “I will draw water for your camels also, until they have finished drinking.”
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.
So she hurried and emptied her pitcher into the trough, then ran again to the well to draw water, and drew water for all his 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 man watched her in silence to see whether Yahweh had prospered his journey 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.
As the camels finished drinking, the man brought out a gold nose ring weighing half a shekel, and two gold bracelets for her arms weighing ten shekels,
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 asked, “Whose daughter are you? Tell me please, is there room in your father's house for us to spend the night?”
24 Higeno ana mofa'mo'a anage huno asami'ne, Nagra Betuel mofa mani'noe. Milkane, Nahorigizni mofavremo kasenante'ne.
She said to him, “I am the daughter of Bethuel son of Milkah, whom she bore to Nahor.”
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.
She also said to him, “We have plenty of both straw and feed, and also room for you to spend the night.”
26 Higeno ana ne'mo'a kepri huno, Ra Anumza'mofona mono hunte'ne.
Then the man bowed down 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, “Blessed be Yahweh, the God of my master Abraham, who has not forsaken his covenant faithfulness and his trustworthiness toward my master. As for me, Yahweh has led me 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.
Then the young woman ran and told her mother's household about all of these things.
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, and his name was Laban. Laban ran to the man who was out at the road by the 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.
When he had seen the nose ring and the bracelets on his sister's arms, and when he had heard the words of Rebekah his sister, “This is what the man said to me,” he went to the man, and, behold, he was standing by the camels at the 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.
Then Laban said, “Come, you blessed of Yahweh. Why are you standing outside? 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.
So the man came to the house and he unloaded the camels. The camels were given straw and feed, and water was provided to wash his feet and the feet of the men who were 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.
They set food before him to eat, but he said, “I will not eat until I have said what I have to say.” So Laban said, “Speak on.”
34 Higeno ana eri'za ne'mo'a anage hu'ne, Nagra Abrahamu eri'za ne' e'noe.
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.
Yahweh has blessed my master very much and he has become great. He has given him flocks and herds, silver and gold, male servants and female servants, and 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.
Sarah, my master's wife, bore a son to my master when she was old, and he has given everything that he owns to him.
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 swear, saying, 'You must not get a wife for my son from the daughters of the Canaanites, in whose land I make my home.
38 Hianagi vunka nenfa mopa agafareti, vahe'niafinti ara ome avrenka ne' mofavreni'a eme amio.
Instead, you must go to my father's family, and to my relatives, and get a wife for my son.'
39 Hige'na nagra kva'nimofonkura anage hu'noe. Ana a'mo'ma navaririno omenke'na na'a hugahue?
I said to my master, 'Perhaps the woman will not follow 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.
But he said to me, 'Yahweh, before whom I walk, will send his angel with you and he will prosper your way, so that you will get a wife for my son from among my relatives and from my father's family line.
41 Hagi kagrama nagri vahepima vananke'za, ana a'ma onkamisnageno'a, nagrama huvempa hu'noa kemo'a kaze'origahie.
But you will be free from my oath if you come to my relatives and they will not give her to you. Then you will be free from my 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,
So I arrived today at the spring, and said, 'O Yahweh, God of my master Abraham, please, if you do indeed intend to make my journey 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,
here I am, standing by the spring of water—let the young woman who comes out to draw water, the woman to whom I say, “Please give me a little water from your pitcher to drink,”
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.
the woman who says to me, “Drink, and I will also draw water for your camels”—let her be the woman whom you, Yahweh, 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.
Even before I had finished speaking in my heart, behold, Rebekah came out with her pitcher on her shoulder and she went down to the spring and drew water. So 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 pitcher from her shoulder and said, 'Drink, and I will give your camels water also.' So I drank, and she watered the camels also.
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.
I asked her and said, 'Whose daughter are you?' She said, 'The daughter of Bethuel, Nahor's son, whom Milkah bore to him.' Then I put the ring in her nose and 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 down and worshiped Yahweh, and blessed Yahweh, the God of my master Abraham, who had led me by the right way to find the daughter of my master's relative 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.
Now therefore, if you are prepared to show covenant faithfulness and trustworthiness to my master, tell me. But if not, tell me, so that I may turn 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.
Then Laban and Bethuel answered and said, “The thing has come from Yahweh; we cannot speak to you either bad or good.
51 Rebeka'a ama kavuga mani'neanki, Ra Anumzamo'ma kema hiaza hunka avrenka vugeno, kva kamofo ne'mofo nenaro'za ome hino.
Look, Rebekah is before you. Take her and go, so she may be the wife of your master's son, as Yahweh has spoken.”
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 their words, he bowed himself down to the ground to 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.
The servant brought out articles of silver and articles of gold, and clothing, and gave them to Rebekah. He also gave precious gifts to her brother 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 he and the men who were with him ate and drank. They stayed there overnight, and when they arose in the morning, he said, “Send me away 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.
Her brother and her mother said, “Let the young woman stay with us for a few more days, at least ten. After that 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.
But he said to them, “Do not hinder me, since Yahweh has prospered my way. Send me on my way so that I may go to my master.”
57 Higene, ana mofa'mofo avesi antahigeta kesune,
They said, “We will call the young woman and ask her.”
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 called Rebekah and asked her, “Will you go with this man?” She replied, “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 their sister Rebekah, along with her female servant, on her journey 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.
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 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 arose, and she and her servant girls mounted the camels, and followed the man. Thus the servant took Rebekah, and went his way.
62 Hagi ana knafina Aisaki'a Ber-lahai-roiti eno, Negev emani'ne.
Now Isaac was living in the Negev, and had just returned 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.
Isaac went out to meditate in the field in the evening. When he looked up and saw, behold, there were camels coming!
64 Rebeka'a kesga huno Aisakina negeno, kemori agumpinti eramino,
Rebekah looked, and when she saw Isaac, she jumped down from 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.
She said to the servant, “Who is that man who is walking in the field to meet us?” The servant said, “It is my master.” So she took her veil, and covered herself.
66 Hagi eri'za ne'mo'a hakare zama hu'nea zana Aisakina asami vagare'ne.
The servant recounted to Isaac all the things 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.
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.
