Pirmā Mozus 24
1 Un Ābrahāms bija vecs un labi piedzīvojis, un Tas Kungs Ābrahāmu bija svētījis ar visām lietām.
Now Abraham was old and of many days. And the Lord had blessed him in all things.
2 Tad Ābrahāms sacīja uz savu kalpu, to vecāko savā namā, kas valdīja pār visu, kas viņam bija:
And he said to the elder servant of his house, who was in charge of all that he had: “Place your hand under my thigh,
3 Liec jel savu roku apakš manas ciskas, tad es tev likšu zvērēt pie Tā Kunga, tā debes' Dieva un tā zemes Dieva, ka tev manam dēlam nebūs sievu ņemt no Kanaāniešu meitām, kuru vidū es dzīvoju,
so that I may make you swear by the Lord, the God of heaven and earth, that you will not take a wife for my son from the daughters of the Canaanites, among whom I live.
4 Bet ka tev būs iet uz manu zemi un pie maniem radiem un manam dēlam Īzakam sievu ņemt.
But that you will proceed to my land and kindred, and from there take a wife for my son Isaac.”
5 Tad tas kalps uz viņu sacīja: ja tā sieva negribēs man nākt līdzi uz šo zemi, vai man tad tavu dēlu atkal būs aizvest uz to zemi, no kurienes tu izgājis?
The servant responded, “If the woman is not willing to come with me into this land, must I lead your son back to the place from which you departed?”
6 Un Ābrahāms uz to sacīja: sargies, ka tu manu dēlu uz turieni nevedi atpakaļ.
And Abraham said: “Beware that you never lead my son back to that place.
7 Tas Kungs, tas debes' Dievs, kas mani ņēmis no mana tēva nama un no manas dzimtenes un kas ar mani runājis un kas man zvērējis sacīdams: tavam dzimumam Es došu šo zemi, - Tas sūtīs Savu eņģeli tavā priekšā, ka tu manam dēlam vari ņemt sievu no turienes.
The Lord God of heaven, who took me from my father’s house, and from the land of my nativity, who spoke to me and swore to me, saying, ‘To your offspring I will give this land,’ himself will send his Angel before you, and you will take from there a wife for my son.
8 Bet ja tā sieva tev negribēs iet līdz, tad tu būsi vaļā no šī mana zvēresta; tikai neved manu dēlu atpakaļ uz turieni.
But if the woman is not willing to follow you, you will not be held by the oath. Only do not lead my son back to that place.”
9 Un tas kalps lika savu roku apakš Ābrahāma, sava kunga, ciskas, un tam zvērēja par šo lietu.
Therefore, the servant placed his hand under the thigh of Abraham, his lord, and he swore to him on his word.
10 Tad tas kalps ņēma desmit kamieļus no sava kunga kamieļiem un aizgāja, un visāda viņa kunga manta bija viņa rokā; un viņš cēlās un gāja uz Mezopotamiju, uz Nahora pilsētu.
And he took ten camels from his lord’s herd, and he went forth, carrying with him things from all of his goods. And he set out, and continued on, to the city of Nahor, in Mesopotamia.
11 Un viņš tiem kamieļiem lika apmesties ārā priekš pilsētas pie vienas ūdens akas ap vakara laiku, tai laikā, kad tās smēlējas ārā nāca, un viņš sacīja:
And when he had made the camels lie down outside of the town, near a well of water, in the evening, at the time when women are accustomed to go out to draw water, he said:
12 Kungs, Tu mana kunga Ābrahāma Dievs, lai man šodien izdodas un dari žēlastību pie mana kunga Ābrahāma.
“O Lord, the God of my lord Abraham, meet with me today, I beg you, and show mercy to my lord Abraham.
13 Redzi, es stāvu pie ūdens akas, un šīs pilsētas ļaužu meitas nāks ārā ūdeni smelt.
Behold, I stand near the fountain of water, and the daughters of the inhabitants of this city will go forth to draw water.
14 Tad lai notiek, ka tā jauna meita, uz ko es sacīšu, pasniedz jel savu trauku, ka es varu dzert, - un tā sacīs, dzer, es tavus kamieļus arīdzan dzirdināšu, - ka tā ir tā, ko Tu Savam kalpam Īzakam novēlējis, un ka es pie tā varu atzīt, ka Tu žēlastību esi parādījis manam kungam.
Therefore, the girl to whom I will say, ‘Tip your pitcher, so that I may drink,’ and she will respond, ‘Drink. In fact, I will give your camels a drink also,’ the same one is she whom you have prepared for your servant Isaac. And by this, I will understand that you have shown mercy to my lord.”
15 Un notikās, pirms nekā tas bija pabeidzis runāt, redzi, tad nāca Rebeka ārā, kas bija dzimusi Betuēlim, Milkas, Ābrahāma brāļa, Nahora, sievas dēlam; un tai bija viņas trauks uz pleca.
But he had not yet completed these words within himself, when, behold, Rebekah went out, the daughter of Bethuel, son of Milcah, the wife of Nahor, the brother of Abraham, having a pitcher on her shoulder.
16 Un tai meitiņai bija ļoti skaists vaigs; tā bija jumprava un neviens vīrs to nebija atzinis; tā nokāpa akā un piepildīja savu trauku un atkal uzkāpa.
She was an exceedingly elegant girl, and a most beautiful virgin, and unknown by man. And she descended to the spring, and she filled her pitcher, and then was returning.
17 Tad tas kalps steidzās viņai pretī un sacīja: ļauj man jel kādu ūdens malciņu no tava trauka nodzerties.
And the servant ran to meet her, and he said, “Provide me with a little water to drink from your pitcher.”
18 Un tā sacīja: dzer, mans kungs! Un tā steidzās un nolaida to trauku uz savu roku un deva tam dzert.
And she responded, “Drink, my lord.” And she quickly brought down the pitcher on her arm, and she gave him a drink.
19 Un kad tā viņam bija devusi dzert, tad tā sacīja: es smelšu arī priekš taviem kamieļiem, kamēr tie būs padzirdīti.
And after he drank, she added, “In fact, I will draw water for your camels also, until they all drink.”
20 Un tā steidzās un izlēja savu trauku dzirdināmā silē, un tecēja atkal uz aku smelt un smēla visiem viņa kamieļiem.
And pouring out the pitcher into the troughs, she ran back to the well to draw water; and having drawn, she gave it to all the camels.
21 Un tas vīrs izbrīnījās par to, klusu ciezdams, ka viņš samanītu, vai Tas Kungs viņa ceļam licis labi izdoties, vai ne.
But he was contemplating her silently, wanting to know whether the Lord had caused his journey to prosper or not
22 Un kad tie kamieļi bija padzērušies, tad tas vīrs ņēma vienu zelta pieres sprādzi, - tā svēra pussēķeli - un divus apliekamus roku gredzenus priekš viņas rokām, - tie svēra desmit sēķeļus.
Then, after the camels drank, the man took out gold earrings, weighing two shekels, and the same number of bracelets, ten shekels in weight.
23 Un viņš sacīja: meitiņa, kam meita tu esi? Pasaki man jel to: vai priekš mums tava tēva namā vietas, tur naktsmāju dabūt?
And he said to her: “Whose daughter are you? Tell me, is there any place in your father’s house to lodge?”
24 Un tā uz viņu sacīja: es esmu Betuēļa, Milkas dēla, meita, ko tā Nahoram dzemdējusi.
She responded, “I am the daughter of Bethuel, the son of Milcah, to whom she gave birth for Nahor.”
25 Un tā vēl uz viņu sacīja: tur ir arī diezgan salmu un barības pie mums, ir mājošanas vieta.
And she continued, saying, “There is very much straw and hay with us, and a spacious place to stay.”
26 Tad tas vīrs Tā Kunga priekšā nomezdamies to pielūdza
The man bowed himself down, and he adored the Lord,
27 Un sacīja: slavēts lai ir Tas Kungs, mana kunga Ābrahāma Dievs, kas nav atrāvis Savu žēlastību un patiesību no mana kunga! Jo Tas Kungs mani ir vadījis to ceļu uz mana kunga brāļa namu.
saying, “Blessed be the Lord, the God of my lord Abraham, who has not taken away his mercy and truth from my lord, and who has led me on a direct journey to the house of the brother of my lord.”
28 Un tā meitiņa tecēja un to pasacīja savas mātes namā.
And so the girl ran, and she reported all that she had heard in the house of her mother.
29 Un Rebekai bija brālis, Lābans vārdā, un Lābans steidzās pie tā vīra ārā uz aku.
Now Rebekah had a brother, named Laban, who went out quickly to the man, where the spring was.
30 Un kad viņš to pieres sprādzi un tos roku gredzenus pie savas māsas rokām redzēja un savas māsas Rebekas vārdus dzirdēja, kas sacīja: tā tas vīrs uz mani runājis, - tad tas nāca pie tā vīra, un redzi, tas stāvēja pie tiem kamieļiem pie akas.
And when he had seen the earrings and bracelets in his sister’s hands, and he had heard all the words being repeated, “This is what the man spoke to me,” he came to the man who stood by the camels and near the spring of water,
31 Un viņš sacīja: nāc iekšā, Tā Kunga svētītais, kam tu stāvi ārā? Jo es esmu namu sataisījis un vieta ir priekš taviem kamieļiem.
and he said to him: “Enter, O blessed of the Lord. Why do you stand outside? I have prepared the house, and a place for the camels.”
32 Tad tas vīrs nāca namā, un tie nosegloja tos kamieļus, un deva tiem kamieļiem salmus un barību un ūdeni, mazgāt viņa kājas un to vīru kājas, kas viņam bija līdz.
And he brought him into his guest quarters. And he unharnessed the camels, and he distributed straw and hay, and water to wash his feet and that of the men who arrived with him.
33 Un tie viņam cēla priekšā barību; bet viņš sacīja: es neēdīšu, pirms nebūšu runājis savus vārdus. Un tas sacīja: runā.
And bread was set out in his sight. But he said, “I will not eat, until I have spoken my words.” He answered him, “Speak.”
34 Tad viņš sacīja: es esmu Ābrahāma kalps,
Then he said: “I am the servant of Abraham.
35 Un Tas Kungs bagāti ir svētījis manu kungu, un tas ir augumā audzis, un viņš tam ir devis avis un vēršus un sudrabu un zeltu un kalpus un kalpones un kamieļus un ēzeļus.
And the Lord has blessed my lord greatly, and he has become great. And he has given him sheep and oxen, silver and gold, men servants and women servants, camels and donkeys.
36 Un Sāra, mana kunga sieva, manam kungam ir dzemdējusi dēlu savā vecumā, un tam viņš ir devis visu, kas viņam pieder.
And Sarah, the wife of my lord, has given birth to a son for my lord in her old age, and he has given him all that he had.
37 Un mans kungs man ir licis zvērēt sacīdams: tev manam dēlam nebūs ņemt no tām Kanaāniešu meitām, kuru zemē es dzīvoju.
And my lord made me swear, saying: ‘You shall not take a wife for my son from the Canaanites, in whose land I dwell.
38 Bet tev būs iet uz mana tēva namu un pie maniem radiem un manam dēlam sievu ņemt.
But you shall travel to my father’s house, and you shall take a wife of my own kindred for my son.’
39 Tad es sacīju uz savu kungu: ja tā sieva man neies līdz.
But truly, I answered my lord, ‘What if the woman is not willing to come with me?’
40 Un viņš uz mani sacīja: Tas Kungs, kura priekšā es esmu staigājis, sūtīs Savu eņģeli ar tevi, un liks labi izdoties tavam ceļam, ka tu manam dēlam ņemi sievu no manas cilts un no mana tēva nama.
‘The Lord,’ he said, ‘in whose sight I walk, will send his Angel with you, and he will direct your way. And you shall take a wife for my son from my own kindred and from my father’s house.
41 Tad tu būsi vaļā no mana zvēresta, kad tu iesi pie maniem radiem, un ja viņi tev nedos, tad tu būsi vaļā no mana zvēresta.
But you will be innocent of my curse, if, when you will arrive at my close relatives, they will not grant this to you.’
42 Un es nācu šodien pie tās akas un sacīju: Kungs, Tu mana kunga Ābrahāma Dievs, ja Tu, lūdzams, manam ceļam esi licis labi izdoties, kur es eju,
And so, today I arrived at the well of water, and I said: ‘O Lord, the God of my lord Abraham, if you have directed my way, in which I now walk,
43 Redzi, es stāvu pie tās ūdens akas: kad nu viena jauna meita nāks smelt, un es viņai sacīšu: dod man jel maķenīt ūdens dzert no tava trauka,
behold, I stand next to the well of water, and the virgin, who will go forth to draw water, will hear from me, “Give me a little water to drink from your pitcher.”
44 Un tā uz mani sacīs: dzer ir tu un ir taviem kamieļiem es smelšu, - ka šī ir tā sieva, ko Tas Kungs mana kunga dēlam novēlējis.
And she will say to me, “You drink, and I will also draw for your camels.” Let the same be the woman, whom the Lord has prepared for the son of my lord.’
45 Pirms es savā sirdī pabeidzu runāt, redzi, tad Rebeka nāca ārā ar ūdens trauku uz pleca, un tā nokāpa akā un smēla, un es uz to sacīju: dod man lūdzama padzerties.
And while I thought over these things silently within myself, Rebekah appeared, arriving with a pitcher, which she carried on her shoulder. And she descended to the spring and drew water. And I said to her, ‘Give me a little to drink.’
46 Tad viņa traucās un nocēla savu trauku no sava pleca zemē un sacīja: dzer, un es tavus kamieļus arīdzan dzirdināšu; tad es dzēru, un tie kamieļi arīdzan tapa dzirdināti.
And she quickly let down the pitcher from her arm, and said to me, ‘You drink, and to your camels I will also distribute drinking water.’ I drank, and she watered the camels.
47 Un es viņu vaicāju un sacīju: kam meita tu esi? Un tā sacīja: Betuēla, Nahora dēla, meita, ko Milka tam dzemdējusi. Tad es liku to pieres sprādzi uz viņas vaigu un tos roku gredzenus ap viņas rokām.
And I questioned her, saying, ‘Whose daughter are you?’ And she responded, ‘I am the daughter of Bethuel, the son of Nahor, whom Milcah bore to him.’ And so, I hung the earrings on her, to adorn her face, and I put the bracelets on her hands.
48 Un es nometos un pielūdzu To Kungu un slavēju To Kungu, mana kunga Ābrahāma Dievu, kas mani to īsteno ceļu bija vadījis, mana kunga brāļa meitu viņa dēlam ņemt par sievu.
And falling prostrate, I adored the Lord, blessing the Lord, the God of my lord Abraham, who has led me along the straight path so as to take the daughter of my lord’s brother to his son.
49 Un nu, ja jūs esat tie, kas žēlastību un uzticību pie mana kunga grib parādīt, tad sakāt man to; un ja ne, tad sakāt man ir to; tad es griezīšos, vai pa labo roku vai pa kreiso.
For this reason, if you would act according to mercy and truth with my lord, tell me so. But if it pleases you otherwise, say that to me also, so that I may go either to the right, or to the left.”
50 Tad Lābans un Betuēls atbildēja un sacīja: šī lieta ir no Tā Kunga nākusi, mēs nedz ļauna nedz laba nevaram uz tevi runāt.
And Laban and Bethuel responded: “A word has proceeded from the Lord. We are not able to speak anything else to you, beyond what pleases him.
51 Redzi, Rebeka ir tavā priekšā, ņem to un ej; lai tā ir tava kunga dēla sieva, kā Tas Kungs ir sacījis.
Lo, Rebekah is in your sight. Take her and continue on, and let her be the wife of the son of your lord, just as the Lord has spoken.”
52 Un kad Ābrahāma kalps viņu vārdus dzirdēja, tad viņš Tā Kunga priekšā pie zemes mezdamies To pielūdza.
When Abraham’s servant had heard this, falling down to the ground, he adored the Lord.
53 Un tas kalps izņēma sudraba un zelta lietas un drēbes, un deva Rebekai un viņas brālim, un viņas mātei tas arī deva dārgas dāvanas.
And bringing forth vessels of silver and gold, as well as garments, he gave them to Rebekah as a tribute. Likewise, he offered gifts to her brothers and her mother.
54 Tad tie ēda un dzēra, viņš un tie vīri, kas viņam bija līdz, un palika tur pa nakti. Un tie cēlās rītā, un viņš sacīja: atlaidiet mani pie mana kunga.
And a banquet began, and they feasted and drank together, and they lodged there. And rising up in the morning, the servant said, “Release me, so that I may go to my lord.”
55 Tad viņas brālis un viņas māte sacīja: lai tā meitiņa kādas desmit dienas paliek pie mums; pēc tu vari iet.
And her brothers and mother responded, “Let the girl remain for at least ten days with us, and after that, she will continue on.”
56 Bet viņš uz tiem sacīja: neaizkavējiet mani, Tas Kungs manam ceļam licis labi izdoties; atlaidiet mani, ka es eju pie sava kunga.
“Do not be willing,” he said, “to delay me, for the Lord has directed my way. Release me, so that I may journey to my lord.”
57 Tad tie sacīja: sauksim to meitiņu un jautāsim viņu.
And they said, “Let us call the girl, and ask her will.”
58 Tad tie sauca Rebeku un uz to sacīja: vai tu gribi iet ar šo vīru? Un tā sacīja: es iešu.
And when, having been called, she arrived, they wanted to know, “Will you go with this man?” And she said, “I will go.”
59 Tad tie atlaida Rebeku, savu māsu, un viņas emmu, un Ābrahāma kalpu un viņa vīrus.
Therefore, they released her and her nurse, and the servant of Abraham and his companions,
60 Un tie svētīja Rebeku un uz to sacīja: tu, mūsu māsa, audzi par tūkstošu tūkstošiem, un tavs dzimums lai pārvalda savu ienaidnieku vārtus.
wishing prosperity for their sister, by saying: “You are our sister. May you increase to thousands of thousands. And may your offspring possess the gates of their enemies.”
61 Un Rebeka cēlās ar savām meitām un sēdās uz kamieļiem un gāja tam vīram līdz, un tas kalps ņēma Rebeku un aizgāja.
And so, Rebekah and her maids, riding upon camels, followed the man, who quickly returned to his lord.
62 Un Īzaks nāca to ceļu no Lekaj-Roī akas, jo tas mita dienvidu(Negebas) zemē.
Then, at the same time, Isaac was walking along the way that leads to the well, whose name is: ‘of the One who lives and who sees.’ For he dwelt in the southern land.
63 Bet Īzaks bija izgājis uz lauku Dievu pielūgt ap vakara laiku. Un tas pacēla savas acis un skatījās, un redzi, kamieļi nāca.
And he had gone out to meditate in the field, as daylight was now declining. And when he had lifted up his eyes, he saw camels advancing from afar.
64 Un Rebeka pacēla savas acis un redzēja Īzaku un nolaidās no kamieļa.
Likewise, Rebekah, having seen Isaac, descended from the camel.
65 Un tā sacīja uz to kalpu: kas tas par vīru, kas tur pa lauku mums nāk pretī? Un tas kalps sacīja: tas ir mans kungs. Tad tā ņēma vaiga apsegu un apsedzās.
And she said to the servant, “Who is that man who advances to meet us through the field?” And he said to her, “That is my lord.” And so, quickly taking up her cloak, she covered herself.
66 Un tas kalps Īzakam visu izteica, ko tas bija darījis.
Then the servant explained to Isaac all that he had done.
67 Un Īzaks veda Rebeku savas mātes Sāras dzīvoklī, un viņš to ņēma un tā viņam palika par sievu, un viņš to mīlēja. Tā Īzaks tapa iepriecināts pēc savas mātes nāves.
And he led her into the tent of Sarah his mother, and he accepted her as wife. And he loved her so very much, that it tempered the sorrow which befell him at his mother’s death.
