Genesisy 24
1 Ary Abrahama dia efa zokiolona sady nandroso fahanterana; ary Jehovah efa nitahy an’ i Abrahama tamin’ ny zavatra rehetra.
And Abraham was old, [and] well stricken in age: and Jehovah had blessed Abraham in all things.
2 Ary hoy Abrahama tamin’ ilay lehiben’ ny mpanompony tao an-tranony, izay mpanapaka ny nananany rehetra: Mba ataovy ato ambanin’ ny feko ny tananao;
And Abraham said unto his servant, the elder of his house, that ruled over all that he had, Put, I pray thee, thy hand under my thigh:
3 fa hampianianiko amin’ i Jehovah, Andriamanitry ny lanitra sy ny tany, ianao, fa tsy haka vady ho an’ ny zanako avy amin’ ny zanakavavin’ ny Kananita izay iraisako monina ianao;
and I will make thee swear by Jehovah, the God of heaven and the God of the earth, that thou wilt not take a wife for my son of the daughters of the Canaanites, among whom I dwell:
4 fa any amin’ ny tanin-drazako sy amin’ ny havako no halehanao haka vady ho an’ Isaka zanako.
but thou shalt go unto my country, and to my kindred, and take a wife for my son Isaac.
5 Ary hoy ilay mpanompony taminy: Angamba tsy hety hiaraka amiko ho amin’ ity tany ity ny vehivavy; moa tsy maintsy hitondra ny zanakao hiverina ho any amin’ ny tany izay nialanao va aho?
And the servant said unto him, Peradventure the woman will not be willing to follow me unto this land: must I needs bring thy son again unto the land from whence thou camest?
6 Ary hoy Abrahama taminy: Tandremo mba tsy ho entinao miverina any ny zanako.
And Abraham said unto him, Beware thou that thou bring not my son thither again.
7 Jehovah, Andriamanitry ny lanitra, Izay naka ahy niala tamin’ ny tranon’ ny raiko sy tamin’ ny tany nahaterahako, sady niteny tamiko sy nianiana tamiko hoe: Ny taranakao no homeko ity tany ity, dia Izy no haniraka Ilay Anjeliny eo alohanao, ka any no hakanao vady ho an’ ny zanako.
Jehovah, the God of heaven, who took me from my father’s house, and from the land of my nativity, and who spake unto me, and who sware unto me, saying, Unto thy seed will I give this land; he will send his angel before thee, and thou shalt take a wife for my son from thence.
8 Ary raha tsy hety hiaraka aminao ny vehivavy, dia ho afaka amin’ izao fampianianako anao izao ianao; fa izao ihany: aza entinao miverina any mihitsy ny zanako
And if the woman be not willing to follow thee, then thou shalt be clear from this my oath; only thou shalt not bring my son thither again.
9 Ary nataon’ ilay mpanompo tambanin’ ny fen’ i Abrahama tompony ny tanany, ka nianiana taminy ny amin’ izany zavatra izany izy.
And the servant put his hand under the thigh of Abraham his master, and sware to him concerning this matter.
10 Ary ilay mpanompo naka rameva folo tamin’ ny ramevan’ ny tompony ka lasa, ary izay zava-tsoa nananan’ ny tompony dia samy nitondrany avokoa; dia nandeha izy ka nankany Mesopotamia ho any an-tanànan’ i Nahora.
And the servant took ten camels, of the camels of his master, and departed, having all goodly things of his master’s in his hand: and he arose, and went to Mesopotamia, unto the city of Nahor.
11 Ary nampandohalehiny teo ivelan’ ny tanàna tanilan’ ny lavaka fantsakan-drano ny rameva, rehefa harivariva ny andro, dia tamin’ ilay fandehanan’ ny vehivavy mpantsaka iny
And he made the camels to kneel down without the city by the well of water at the time of evening, the time that women go out to draw water.
12 Dia hoy izy: Jehovah ô, Andriamanitr’ i Abrahama tompoko, ambino aho anio, ary asio soa Abrahama tompoko.
And he said, O Jehovah, the God of my master Abraham, send me, I pray thee, good speed this day, and show kindness unto my master Abraham.
13 Indro, mijanona eto anilan’ ny fantsakana aho; ary ny zanakavavin’ ny mponina ao an-tanàna mivoaka hantsaka rano;
Behold, I am standing by the fountain of water; and the daughters of the men of the city are coming out to draw water:
14 koa izay zazavavy hilazako hoe: Mba areno kely ny sininao hisotroako, ka hamaly hoe izy: Misotroa, sady hampisotro ny ramevanao koa aho: dia izy ihany no aoka ho voatendrinao ho an’ Isaka mpanomponao; ary izany no hahafantarako fa nasianao soa ny tompoko.
and let it come to pass, that the damsel to whom I shall say, Let down thy pitcher, I pray thee, that I may drink; and she shall say, Drink, and I will give thy camels drink also: let the same be she that thou hast appointed for thy servant Isaac; and thereby shall I know that thou hast showed kindness unto my master.
15 Ary raha tsy mbola nitsaha-niteny izy, dia, indro, tamy Rebeka, izay naterak’ i Betoela, zanakalahin’ i Milka, vadin’ i Nahpra, rahalahin’ i Abrahama, nilanja ny sininy teny an-tsorony.
And it came to pass, before he had done speaking, that, behold, Rebekah came out, who was born to Bethuel the son of Milcah, the wife of Nahor, Abraham’s brother, with her pitcher upon her shoulder.
16 Ary ilay zazavavy dia tsara tarehy indrindra sady virijina, ka tsy mbola nisy lehilahy nahalala azy; ary nidina nankeo amin’ ny fantsakana izy ka nameno ny sininy, dia niakatra.
And the damsel was very fair to look upon, a virgin, neither had any man known her: and she went down to the fountain, and filled her pitcher, and came up.
17 Ary ilay mpanompo dia nihazakazaka nitsena azy ka nanao taminy hoe: Mba ampisotroy rano kely avy amin’ ny sininao aho.
And the servant ran to meet her, and said, Give me to drink, I pray thee, a little water from thy pitcher.
18 Ary hoy razazavavy: Misotroa, tompokolahy; dia nampidininy faingana ny sininy ho eo an-tànany, ka nampisotroiny ralehilahy.
And she said, Drink, my lord: and she hasted, and let down her pitcher upon her hand, and gave him drink.
19 Ary rehefa nampisotro azy izy, dia hoy koa izy: Ny ramevanao koa andeha hantsakako hosotroiny ambara-pahatapiny misotro.
And when she had done giving him drink, she said, I will draw for thy camels also, until they have done drinking.
20 Ary dia naidiny faingana ny rano teo an-tsininy ho eo amin’ ny tavy fisotroana, dia nihazakazaka indray izy nankeo amin’ ny lavaka fantsakana hantsaka; ary nantsaka ho an’ ny ramevany rehetra izy.
And she hasted, and emptied her pitcher into the trough, and ran again unto the well to draw, and drew for all his camels.
21 Ary ralehilahy nandinika azy tsara sady nangina, mba hahafantarany na efa nambinin’ i Jehovah ny nalehany, na tsia.
And the man looked stedfastly on her, holding his peace, to know whether Jehovah had made his journey prosperous or not.
22 Ary rehefa tapi-nisotro avokoa ny rameva, dia nalain-dralehilahy ny kavin’ orona volamena iray, lanjan’ ny sasaky ny sekely, sy haba volamena roa, lanjan’ ny sekely folo, hatao amin’ ny tànany;
And it came to pass, as the camels had done drinking, that the man took a golden ring of half a shekel weight, and two bracelets for her hands of ten shekels weight of gold,
23 ary hoy izy: Zana-jovy moa ianao? Mba lazao amiko. Ary moa misy azonay handriana va ao an-tranon’ ny rainao?
and said, Whose daughter art thou? tell me, I pray thee. Is there room in thy father’s house for us to lodge in?
24 Ary hoy izy taminy: Zanakavavin’ i Betoela, zanakalahin’ i Milka, izay naterany tamin’ i Nahora, aho.
And she said unto him, I am the daughter of Bethuel the son of Milcah, whom she bare unto Nahor.
25 Ary hoy koa izy taminy: Na ny mololo na ny vilona, dia samy betsaka ao aminay, sady misy trano handrianareo koa.
She said moreover unto him, We have both straw and provender enough, and room to lodge in.
26 Dia niondrika ralehilahy ka niankohoka teo anatrehan’ i Jehovah,
And the man bowed his head, and worshipped Jehovah.
27 ary nanao hoe: Isaorana anie Jehovah, Andriamanitr’ i Abrahama tompoko, Izay tsy nanaisotra ny famindram-pony sy ny fahamarinany tamin’ ny tompoko; fa izaho dia notantanan’ i Jehovah teny an-dalana ho atỳ an-tranon’ ny havan’ ny tompoko.
And he said, Blessed be Jehovah, the God of my master Abraham, who hath not forsaken his lovingkindness and his truth toward my master: as for me, Jehovah hath led me in the way to the house of my master’s brethren.
28 Dia lasa nihazakazaka razazavavy ka nanambara araka izany teny izany tamin’ ny tao an-tranon’ ny reniny.
And the damsel ran, and told her mother’s house according to these words.
29 Ary Rebeka nanana anadahy, Labana no anarany; dia nihazakazaka Labana nankeo amin-dralehilahy teo ivelany, teo am-pantsakana.
And Rebekah had a brother, and his name was Laban: and Laban ran out unto the man, unto the fountain.
30 Ary rehefa hitany ny kavin’ orona sy ny haba teny an-tànan’ ny anabaviny, sady efa reny ny tenin-dRebeka anabaviny nanao hoe: Izany no nolazain-dralehilahy tamiko, dia nankeo amin-dralehilahy izy; ary, indro, mbola nijanona teo anilan’ ny rameva teo am-pantsakana ralehilahy.
And it came to pass, when he saw the ring, and the bracelets upon his sister’s hands, and when he heard the words of Rebekah his sister, saying, Thus spake the man unto me; that he came unto the man; and, behold, he was standing by the camels at the fountain.
31 Ary hoy Labana: Miakara, ry ilay notahin’ i Jehovah; nahoana no mijanona eto ivelany ianao? fa izaho efa namboatra ny trano sy izay hitoeran’ ny rameva.
And he said, Come in, thou blessed of Jehovah; wherefore standest thou without? for I have prepared the house, and room for the camels.
32 Dia niditra tao an-trano ralehilahy; ary Labana dia namaha ny entana tamin’ ny rameva ka nanome mololo sy vilona ho an’ ny rameva ary rano hanasana ny tongo-dralehilahy sy ny tongotry ny olona izay nomba azy.
And the man came into the house, and he ungirded the camels; and he gave straw and provender for the camels, and water to wash his feet and the feet of the men that were with him.
33 Dia nandroso hanina teo anoloany izy; fa hoy ralehilahy: Tsy mbola hihinana aho, raha tsy efa voalazako ny raharahako. Ary hoy izy: Lazao ary!
And there was set food before him to eat: but he said, I will not eat, until I have told mine errand. And he said, Speak on.
34 Dia hoy ralehilahy: Mpanompon’ i Abrahama aho.
And he said, I am Abraham’s servant.
35 Ary Jehovah efa nitahy ny tompoko indrindra, ka efa be ny fananany; ary Jehovah efa nanome azy ondry aman’ osy sy omby, ary volafotsy sy volamena, ary andevolahy sy andevovavy, ary rameva sy boriky.
And Jehovah hath blessed my master greatly; and he is become great: and he hath given him flocks and herds, and silver and gold, and men-servants and maid-servants, and camels and asses.
36 Ary rehefa antitra Saraha, vadin’ ny tompoko, dia niteraka zazalahy tamin’ ny tompoko izy; ary efa natolotry ny tompoko ho an’ ny zanany izay rehetra ananany.
And Sarah my master’s wife bare a son to my master when she was old: and unto him hath he given all that he hath.
37 Ary efa nampianiana ahy ny tompoko ka nanao hoe: Aza makà vady ho an’ ny zanako avy amin’ ny zanakavavin’ ny Kananita, izay iraisako monina;
And my master made me swear, saying, Thou shalt not take a wife for my son of the daughters of the Canaanites, in whose land I dwell:
38 fa any amin’ ny tranon’ ikaky sy any amin’ ny havako no halehanao ka hakanao vady any ho an’ ny zanako.
but thou shalt go unto my father’s house, and to my kindred, and take a wife for my son.
39 Ary izaho namaly ny tompoko hoe: Angamba tsy hety hiaraka amiko ny vehivavy.
And I said unto my master, Peradventure the woman will not follow me.
40 Ary hoy izy tamiko: Jehovah, Izay andehanako eo anatrehany, dia haniraka Ilay Anjeliny homba anao sy hanambina ny alehanao, ary ianao haka vady ho an’ ny zanako avy amin’ ny havako sy amin’ ny tranon’ ikaky.
And he said unto me, Jehovah, before whom I walk, will send his angel with thee, and prosper thy way; and thou shalt take a wife for my son of my kindred, and of my father’s house:
41 Dia ho afaka amin’ ny fampianianako anao ianao, raha tonga any amin’ ny havako; ary raha tsy manome anao ry zareo, dia ho afaka amin’ ny fampianianako anao koa ianao.
then shalt thou be clear from my oath, when thou comest to my kindred; and if they give her not to thee, thou shalt be clear from my oath.
42 Ary tonga androany teo amin’ ny fantsakana aho, ka hoy izaho: Jehovah ô, Andriamanitr’ i Abrahama tompoko, raha hanambina ny alehako Hianao,
And I came this day unto the fountain, and said, O Jehovah, the God of my master Abraham, if now thou do prosper my way which I go:
43 indro, mijanona eto anilan’ ny fantsakana aho, koa izay zazavavy hivoaka hantsaka ka hilazako hoe: Mba ampisotroy rano kely avy amin’ ny sininao aho,
behold, I am standing by the fountain of water; and let it come to pass, that the maiden that cometh forth to draw, to whom I shall say, Give me, I pray thee, a little water from thy pitcher to drink;
44 ka hamaly hoe izy: Misotroa, ary hantsakako koa ny ramevanao: dia izy no aoka ho izay vehivavy voatendrin’ i Jehovah ho an’ ny zanakalahin’ ny tompoko.
and she shall say to me, Both drink thou, and I will also draw for thy camels: let the same be the woman whom Jehovah hath appointed for my master’s son.
45 Ary raha tsy mbola nitsahatra niteny anakampo aho, dia, indro, tamy Rebeka nilanja ny sininy teny an-tsorony, dia nidina nankeo amin’ ny fantsakana izy ka nantsaka; ary hoy izaho taminy: Mba ampisotroy rano kely aho.
And before I had done speaking in my heart, behold, Rebekah came forth with her pitcher on her shoulder; and she went down unto the fountain, and drew: and I said unto her, Let me drink, I pray thee.
46 Dia nampidininy faingana ny sininy hiala teo an-tsorony, ka hoy izy: Misotroa, ary hampisotroiko koa ny ramevanao; dia nisotro aho, ary nampisotro ny rameva koa izy.
And she made haste, and let down her pitcher from her shoulder, and said, Drink, and I will give thy camels drink also: so I drank, and she made the camels drink also.
47 Dia nanontany azy aho ka nanao hoe: Zana-jovy moa ianao? Ary hoy izy: Zanak’ i Betoela, zanakalahin’ i Nahora, aho, izay naterak’ i Milka taminy. Dia nataoko teo anorony ny kavin’ orona, ary ny haba teny amin’ ny tànany.
And I asked her, and said, Whose daughter art thou? And she said, The daughter of Bethuel, Nahor’s son, whom Milcah bare unto him: and I put the ring upon her nose, and the bracelets upon her hands.
48 Dia niondrika aho ka niankohoka teo anatrehan’ i Jehovah, dia nisaotra an’ i Jehovah, Andriamanitr’ i Abrahama tompoko, Izay efa nitondra ahy tamin’ ny lalana marina haka ny zanakavavin’ ny rahalahin’ ny tompoko, ho an’ ny zanany
And I bowed my head, and worshipped Jehovah, and blessed Jehovah, the God of my master Abraham, who had led me in the right way to take my master’s brother’s daughter for his son.
49 Koa ankehitriny, raha hanao izay soa sy marina amin’ ny tompoko ianareo, dia lazao amiko; fa raha tsy izany kosa, dia lazao amiko, mba hiviliako na ho amin’ ny ankavanana, na ho amin’ ny ankavia.
And now if ye will deal kindly and truly with my master, tell me: and if not, tell me; that I may turn to the right hand, or to the left.
50 Dia namaly Labana sy Betoela ka nanao hoe: Avy tamin’ i Jehovah no nisehoan’ izany zavatra izany, ka tsy mahazo milaza teny aminao izahay, na ratsy na soa.
Then Laban and Bethuel answered and said, The thing proceedeth from Jehovah: we cannot speak unto thee bad or good.
51 Indro, Rebeka eto anatrehanao, ento izy, ka mandehana; ary aoka ho vadin’ ny zanaky ny tomponao izy, araka izay nolazain’ i Jehovah.
Behold, Rebekah is before thee, take her, and go, and let her be thy master’s son’s wife, as Jehovah hath spoken.
52 Ary rehefa nandre ny tenin-dry zareo ilay mpanompon’ i Abrahama, dia niankohoka tamin’ ny tany teo anatrehan’ i Jehovah izy.
And it came to pass, that, when Abraham’s servant heard their words, he bowed himself down to the earth unto Jehovah.
53 Ary ilay mpanompo dia namoaka firavaka volafotsy sy firavaka volamena ary fitafiana, ka nomeny an-dRebeka; ary nomeny zava-tsoa koa ny anadahiny sy ny reniny.
And the servant brought forth jewels of silver, and jewels of gold, and raiment, and gave them to Rebekah: he gave also to her brother and to her mother precious things.
54 Dia vao izay no nihinana sy nisotro izy mbamin’ ireo lehilahy izay nomba azy, dia nandry. Ary nifoha maraina izy ka nanao hoe: Alefaso ary aho handeha ho any amin’ ny tompoko.
And they did eat and drink, he and the men that were with him, and tarried all night; and they rose up in the morning, and he said, Send me away unto my master.
55 Ary hoy ny anadahin-dRebeka sy ny reniny: Aoka hitoetra atỳ aminay andro vitsivitsy ny zazavavy, na dia hafoloana ihany aza; fa rehefa afaka izany, dia handeha izy.
And her brother and her mother said, Let the damsel abide with us [a few] days, at the least ten; after that she shall go.
56 Fa hoy ralehilahy taminy: Aza samponanareo aho, fa Jehovah efa nanambina ny alehako; alefaso aho mba hankany amin’ ny tompoko.
And he said unto them, Hinder me not, seeing Jehovah hath prospered my way; send me away that I may go to my master.
57 Ary hoy izy ireo: Aoka ary hantsoinay ny zazavavy, ka hanontanianay izay teniny.
And they said, We will call the damsel, and inquire at her mouth.
58 Dia niantso an-dRebeka izy ka nanao taminy hoe: Handeha hiaraka amin’ io lehilahy io va ianao? Ary hoy izy: Handeha aho.
And they called Rebekah, and said unto her, Wilt thou go with this man? And she said, I will go.
59 Dia namoaka an-dRebeka anabaviny sy ny mpitaiza azy ary ilay mpanompon’ i Abrahama mbamin’ ny olony izy.
And they sent away Rebekah their sister, and her nurse, and Abraham’s servant, and his men.
60 Dia nitso-drano an-dRebeka izy ka nanao taminy hoe: Ry anabavinay, tongava alinalina anie ianao, ary aoka ny taranakao hahazo ny vavahadin’ izay mankahala azy.
And they blessed Rebekah, and said unto her, Our sister, be thou [the mother] of thousands of ten thousands, and let thy seed possess the gate of those that hate them.
61 Ary niainga Rebeka mbamin’ ny ankizivaviny ka nitaingina ny rameva, dia nandeha niaraka tamin-dralehilahy; ary nitondra an-dRebeka ilay mpanompo ka lasa nandeha.
And Rebekah arose, and her damsels, and they rode upon the camels, and followed the man: and the servant took Rebekah, and went his way.
62 Ary Isaka efa tonga avy tamin’ ny nalehany tany Bera-lahai-roy; fa nonina tany amin’ ny tany atsimo izy.
And Isaac came from the way of Beer-lahai-roi; for he dwelt in the land of the South.
63 Ary Isaka nivoaka mba hieritreritra any an-tsaha, rehefa nitehin-ko hariva ny andro; dia nanopy ny masony izy ka nahita fa indrery nisy rameva avy manatona.
And Isaac went out to meditate in the field at the eventide: and he lifted up his eyes, and saw, and, behold, there were camels coming.
64 Ary Rebeka koa nanopy ny masony ka nahatazana an’ Isaka; dia nidina faingana niala tamin’ ny rameva izy.
And Rebekah lifted up her eyes, and when she saw Isaac, she alighted from the camel.
65 Ary hoy izy tamin’ ilay mpanompo: Iza moa iry lehilahy mitsangantsangana eny an-tsaha avy mitsena antsika iry? Ary hoy ilay mpanompo: Iny no tompoko, dia nandray ny fisalobonana Rebeka, ka nisalobonany.
And she said unto the servant, What man is this that walketh in the field to meet us? And the servant said, It is my master: and she took her veil, and covered herself.
66 Ary dia nambaran’ ilay mpanompo tamin’ Isaka ny zavatra rehetra izay efa nataony.
And the servant told Isaac all the things that he had done.
67 Ary Isaka dia nampandroso an-dRebeka ho ao an-dain’ i Saraha reniny ka nampakatra azy ho vadiny; ary tia azy izy, dia nionona ny alahelony an-dreniny.
And Isaac brought her into his mother Sarah’s tent, and took Rebekah, and she became his wife; and he loved her. And Isaac was comforted after his mother’s death.
