Pirmā Mozus 24
1 Un Ābrahāms bija vecs un labi piedzīvojis, un Tas Kungs Ābrahāmu bija svētījis ar visām lietām.
Abraham was now a very old man. Yahweh had blessed Abraham in many ways.
2 Tad Ābrahāms sacīja uz savu kalpu, to vecāko savā namā, kas valdīja pār visu, kas viņam bija:
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 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,
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 Bet ka tev būs iet uz manu zemi un pie maniem radiem un manam dēlam Īzakam sievu ņemt.
Instead, go back to my country and to my relatives and get a wife for my son Isaac from among them.”
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 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 Un Ābrahāms uz to sacīja: sargies, ka tu manu dēlu uz turieni nevedi atpakaļ.
Abraham replied to him, “No! Be certain that you don’t take my son there!
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.
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 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 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 Un tas kalps lika savu roku apakš Ābrahāma, sava kunga, ciskas, un tam zvērēja par šo lietu.
So the servant put his hand between Abraham’s thighs and made a solemn promise about the matter.
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.
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 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:
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 Kungs, Tu mana kunga Ābrahāma Dievs, lai man šodien izdodas un dari žēlastību pie mana kunga Ābrahāma.
The servant prayed, “Yahweh God whom my master Abraham worships, enable me to be successful today! Act kindly to my master, Abraham!
13 Redzi, es stāvu pie ūdens akas, un šīs pilsētas ļaužu meitas nāks ārā ūdeni smelt.
Listen to me. I am standing near a well of water, and the young women of the city are coming to get 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.
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 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.
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 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 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 Tad tas kalps steidzās viņai pretī un sacīja: ļauj man jel kādu ūdens malciņu no tava trauka nodzerties.
Abraham’s servant immediately ran to meet her, and said, “Please give me a little water from your jar.”
18 Un tā sacīja: dzer, mans kungs! Un tā steidzās un nolaida to trauku uz savu roku un deva tam dzert.
She replied, “Drink some, sir!” She lowered her jar from her shoulder to her hands and 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.
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 Un tā steidzās un izlēja savu trauku dzirdināmā silē, un tecēja atkal uz aku smelt un smēla visiem viņa kamieļiem.
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 Un tas vīrs izbrīnījās par to, klusu ciezdams, ka viņš samanītu, vai Tas Kungs viņa ceļam licis labi izdoties, vai 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 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.
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 Un viņš sacīja: meitiņa, kam meita tu esi? Pasaki man jel to: vai priekš mums tava tēva namā vietas, tur naktsmāju dabūt?
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 Un tā uz viņu sacīja: es esmu Betuēļa, Milkas dēla, meita, ko tā Nahoram dzemdējusi.
She replied, “My father’s name is Bethuel. He is the son of Nahor and his wife Milcah.
25 Un tā vēl uz viņu sacīja: tur ir arī diezgan salmu un barības pie mums, ir mājošanas vieta.
Yes, we have room where you all can sleep tonight, and we also have plenty of straw and grain to feed the camels.”
26 Tad tas vīrs Tā Kunga priekšā nomezdamies to pielūdza
The servant bowed and worshiped Yahweh.
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.
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 Un tā meitiņa tecēja un to pasacīja savas mātes namā.
The girl ran and told everyone in her mother’s household about what had happened.
29 Un Rebekai bija brālis, Lābans vārdā, un Lābans steidzās pie tā vīra ārā uz aku.
Rebekah had a brother whose name was Laban. Laban went quickly to Abraham’s servant, who was still by the well.
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.
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 Un viņš sacīja: nāc iekšā, Tā Kunga svētītais, kam tu stāvi ārā? Jo es esmu namu sataisījis un vieta ir priekš taviem kamieļiem.
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 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.
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 Un tie viņam cēla priekšā barību; bet viņš sacīja: es neēdīšu, pirms nebūšu runājis savus vārdus. Un tas sacīja: runā.
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 Tad viņš sacīja: es esmu Ābrahāma kalps,
So the servant said, “I am Abraham’s servant.
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.
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 Un Sāra, mana kunga sieva, manam kungam ir dzemdējusi dēlu savā vecumā, un tam viņš ir devis visu, kas viņam pieder.
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 Un mans kungs man ir licis zvērēt sacīdams: tev manam dēlam nebūs ņemt no tām Kanaāniešu meitām, kuru zemē es dzīvoju.
My master made me solemnly promise, saying, ‘Do not get a wife for my son from the women here in Canaan.
38 Bet tev būs iet uz mana tēva namu un pie maniem radiem un manam dēlam sievu ņemt.
Instead, go back to my father’s family, to my own clan, and get from them a wife for my son.’
39 Tad es sacīju uz savu kungu: ja tā sieva man neies līdz.
Then I asked my master, ‘What shall I do if the woman you show me will not come back 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.
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 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 if my clan refuses to allow her to return with you, you will be freed from being cursed because of not obeying me.’
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,
“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 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,
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 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.
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 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.
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 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.
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 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.
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 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.
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 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.
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 Tad Lābans un Betuēls atbildēja un sacīja: šī lieta ir no Tā Kunga nākusi, mēs nedz ļauna nedz laba nevaram uz tevi runāt.
Laban and Bethuel answered, “It is clear that Yahweh has caused this to happen. So we two cannot say anything more.
51 Redzi, Rebeka ir tavā priekšā, ņem to un ej; lai tā ir tava kunga dēla sieva, kā Tas Kungs ir sacījis.
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 Un kad Ābrahāma kalps viņu vārdus dzirdēja, tad viņš Tā Kunga priekšā pie zemes mezdamies To pielūdza.
When Abraham’s servant heard these words, he bowed down to the ground to [thank] Yahweh.
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.
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 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.
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 Tad viņas brālis un viņas māte sacīja: lai tā meitiņa kādas desmit dienas paliek pie mums; pēc tu vari iet.
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 Bet viņš uz tiem sacīja: neaizkavējiet mani, Tas Kungs manam ceļam licis labi izdoties; atlaidiet mani, ka es eju pie sava kunga.
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 Tad tie sacīja: sauksim to meitiņu un jautāsim viņu.
They said, “Let’s call Rebekah and ask her what she wants to do.” [MTY]
58 Tad tie sauca Rebeku un uz to sacīja: vai tu gribi iet ar šo vīru? Un tā sacīja: es iešu.
So they summoned Rebekah and asked her, “Will you go with this man now?” She replied, “Yes, I will go.”
59 Tad tie atlaida Rebeku, savu māsu, un viņas emmu, un Ābrahāma kalpu un viņa vīrus.
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 Un tie svētīja Rebeku un uz to sacīja: tu, mūsu māsa, audzi par tūkstošu tūkstošiem, un tavs dzimums lai pārvalda savu ienaidnieku vārtus.
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 Un Rebeka cēlās ar savām meitām un sēdās uz kamieļiem un gāja tam vīram līdz, un tas kalps ņēma Rebeku un aizgāja.
Then Rebekah and her maid servants got ready and got on their camels and went with Abraham’s servant.
62 Un Īzaks nāca to ceļu no Lekaj-Roī akas, jo tas mita dienvidu(Negebas) zemē.
At that time, Isaac was living in the Negev desert. He had gone there from Beer-Lahai-Roi.
63 Bet Īzaks bija izgājis uz lauku Dievu pielūgt ap vakara laiku. Un tas pacēla savas acis un skatījās, un redzi, kamieļi nāca.
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 Un Rebeka pacēla savas acis un redzēja Īzaku un nolaidās no kamieļa.
Rebekah also looked up and saw Isaac. She got off 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 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 Un tas kalps Īzakam visu izteica, ko tas bija darījis.
The servant told Isaac everything that had happened.
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.
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.
