Genesisy 24
1 Ary Abrahama dia efa zokiolona sady nandroso fahanterana; ary Jehovah efa nitahy an’ i Abrahama tamin’ ny zavatra rehetra.
Abraham was old, and well advanced in age. The LORD 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;
Abraham said to his servant, the elder of his house, who ruled over all that he had, “Please put your 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;
I will make you swear by the LORD, the God of heaven and the God of the earth, that you shall not take a wife for my son of the daughters of the Canaanites, among whom I live.
4 fa any amin’ ny tanin-drazako sy amin’ ny havako no halehanao haka vady ho an’ Isaka zanako.
But you shall go to my country, and to my relatives, 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?
The servant said to him, “What if the woman isn’t willing to follow me to this land? Must I bring your son again to the land you came from?”
6 Ary hoy Abrahama taminy: Tandremo mba tsy ho entinao miverina any ny zanako.
Abraham said to him, “Beware that you don’t bring my son there 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.
The LORD, the God of heaven—who took me from my father’s house, and from the land of my birth, who spoke to me, and who swore to me, saying, ‘I will give this land to your offspring—he will send his angel before you, and you shall take a wife for my son from there.
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
If the woman isn’t willing to follow you, then you shall be clear from this oath to me. Only you shall not bring my son there again.”
9 Ary nataon’ ilay mpanompo tambanin’ ny fen’ i Abrahama tompony ny tanany, ka nianiana taminy ny amin’ izany zavatra izany izy.
The servant put his hand under the thigh of Abraham his master, and swore 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.
The servant took ten of his master’s camels, and departed, having a variety of good things of his master’s with him. He arose, and went to Mesopotamia, to 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
He made the camels kneel down outside 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.
He said, “LORD, the God of my master Abraham, please give me success today, and show kindness to 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 spring of water. 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.
Let it happen, that the young lady to whom I will say, ‘Please let down your pitcher, that I may drink,’ then she says, ‘Drink, and I will also give your camels a drink,’—let her be the one you have appointed for your servant Isaac. By this I will know that you have shown kindness to 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.
Before he had finished speaking, behold, Rebekah came out, who was born to Bethuel the son of Milcah, the wife of Nahor, Abraham’s brother, with her pitcher on 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.
The young lady was very beautiful to look at, a virgin. No man had known her. She went down to the spring, 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.
The servant ran to meet her, and said, “Please give me a drink, a little water from your pitcher.”
18 Ary hoy razazavavy: Misotroa, tompokolahy; dia nampidininy faingana ny sininy ho eo an-tànany, ka nampisotroiny ralehilahy.
She said, “Drink, my lord.” She hurried, and let down her pitcher on her hand, and gave him a drink.
19 Ary rehefa nampisotro azy izy, dia hoy koa izy: Ny ramevanao koa andeha hantsakako hosotroiny ambara-pahatapiny misotro.
When she had finished giving him a drink, she said, “I will also draw for your camels, until they have finished 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.
She hurried, and emptied her pitcher into the trough, and ran again to 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.
The man looked steadfastly at her, remaining silent, to know whether the LORD 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;
As the camels had done drinking, 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 are you? Please tell me. Is there room in your father’s house for us to stay?”
24 Ary hoy izy taminy: Zanakavavin’ i Betoela, zanakalahin’ i Milka, izay naterany tamin’ i Nahora, aho.
She said to him, “I am the daughter of Bethuel the son of Milcah, whom she bore to 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 to him, “We have both straw and feed enough, and room to lodge in.”
26 Dia niondrika ralehilahy ka niankohoka teo anatrehan’ i Jehovah,
The man bowed his head, and worshiped the LORD.
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.
He said, “Blessed be the LORD, the God of my master Abraham, who has not forsaken his loving kindness and his truth toward my master. As for me, the LORD has led me on the way to the house of my master’s relatives.”
28 Dia lasa nihazakazaka razazavavy ka nanambara araka izany teny izany tamin’ ny tao an-tranon’ ny reniny.
The young lady ran, and told her mother’s house about these words.
29 Ary Rebeka nanana anadahy, Labana no anarany; dia nihazakazaka Labana nankeo amin-dralehilahy teo ivelany, teo am-pantsakana.
Rebekah had a brother, and his name was Laban. Laban ran out to the man, to the spring.
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.
When he saw the ring, and the bracelets on his sister’s hands, and when he heard the words of Rebekah his sister, saying, “This is what the man said to me,” he came to the man. Behold, he was standing by the camels at the spring.
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.
He said, “Come in, you blessed of the LORD. Why do you stand outside? 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.
The man came into the house, and he unloaded the camels. He gave straw and feed for the camels, and water to wash his feet and the feet of the men who 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!
Food was set before him to eat, but he said, “I will not eat until I have told my message.” Laban said, “Speak on.”
34 Dia hoy ralehilahy: Mpanompon’ i Abrahama aho.
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.
The LORD has blessed my master greatly. He has become great. The LORD has given him flocks and herds, silver and gold, male servants and female servants, and camels and donkeys.
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.
Sarah, my master’s wife, bore a son to my master when she was old. He has given all that he has to him.
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;
My master made me swear, saying, ‘You shall not take a wife for my son from the daughters of the Canaanites, in whose land I live,
38 fa any amin’ ny tranon’ ikaky sy any amin’ ny havako no halehanao ka hakanao vady any ho an’ ny zanako.
but you shall go to my father’s house, and to my relatives, and take a wife for my son.’
39 Ary izaho namaly ny tompoko hoe: Angamba tsy hety hiaraka amiko ny vehivavy.
I asked my master, ‘What if 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.
He said to me, ‘The LORD, before whom I walk, will send his angel with you, and prosper your way. You shall take a wife for my son from my relatives, 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 you will be clear from my oath, when you come to my relatives. If they don’t give her to you, you shall 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,
I came today to the spring, and said, ‘The LORD, the God of my master Abraham, if now you 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 this spring of water. Let it happen, that the maiden who comes out to draw, to whom I will say, “Please give me a little water from your 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.
then she tells me, “Drink, and I will also draw for your camels,”—let her be the woman whom the LORD has 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.
Before I had finished speaking in my heart, behold, Rebekah came out with her pitcher on her shoulder. She went down to the spring, and drew. I said to her, ‘Please let me drink.’
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.
She hurried and let down her pitcher from her shoulder, and said, ‘Drink, and I will also give your camels a drink.’ So I drank, and she also gave the camels a drink.
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.
I asked her, and said, ‘Whose daughter are you?’ She said, ‘The daughter of Bethuel, Nahor’s son, whom Milcah bore to him.’ I put the ring on her nose, and the bracelets on 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
I bowed my head, and worshiped the LORD, and blessed the LORD, 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.
Now if you will deal kindly and truly with my master, tell me. 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, “The thing proceeds from the LORD. We can’t speak to you 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 you. Take her, and go, and let her be your master’s son’s wife, as the LORD has spoken.”
52 Ary rehefa nandre ny tenin-dry zareo ilay mpanompon’ i Abrahama, dia niankohoka tamin’ ny tany teo anatrehan’ i Jehovah izy.
When Abraham’s servant heard their words, he bowed himself down to the earth to the LORD.
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.
The servant brought out jewels of silver, and jewels of gold, and clothing, and gave them to Rebekah. He also gave precious things to her brother and her mother.
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.
They ate and drank, he and the men who were with him, and stayed all night. They rose up in the morning, and he said, “Send me away to 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.
Her brother and her mother said, “Let the young lady stay with us a few days, at least ten. After that she will go.”
56 Fa hoy ralehilahy taminy: Aza samponanareo aho, fa Jehovah efa nanambina ny alehako; alefaso aho mba hankany amin’ ny tompoko.
He said to them, “Don’t hinder me, since the LORD has 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.
They said, “We will call the young lady, and ask her.”
58 Dia niantso an-dRebeka izy ka nanao taminy hoe: Handeha hiaraka amin’ io lehilahy io va ianao? Ary hoy izy: Handeha aho.
They called Rebekah, and said to her, “Will you go with this man?” She said, “I will go.”
59 Dia namoaka an-dRebeka anabaviny sy ny mpitaiza azy ary ilay mpanompon’ i Abrahama mbamin’ ny olony izy.
They sent away Rebekah, their sister, with her nurse, 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.
They blessed Rebekah, and said to her, “Our sister, may you be the mother of thousands of ten thousands, and let your offspring possess the gate of those who 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.
Rebekah arose with her ladies. They rode on the camels, and followed the man. 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.
Isaac came from the way of Beer Lahai Roi, for he lived 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.
Isaac went out to meditate in the field at the evening. He lifted up his eyes and looked. Behold, there were camels coming.
64 Ary Rebeka koa nanopy ny masony ka nahatazana an’ Isaka; dia nidina faingana niala tamin’ ny rameva izy.
Rebekah lifted up her eyes, and when she saw Isaac, she got off 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.
She said to the servant, “Who is the man who is walking in the field to meet us?” The servant said, “It is my master.” She took her veil, and covered herself.
66 Ary dia nambaran’ ilay mpanompo tamin’ Isaka ny zavatra rehetra izay efa nataony.
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.
Isaac brought her into his mother Sarah’s tent, and took Rebekah, and she became his wife. He loved her. So Isaac was comforted after his mother’s death.
