Genesisy 24
1 Ie amy zao, nigain-kantetse t’i Avrahame, lifots’ andro; vaho nitahie’ Iehovà amy ze he’e t’i Avrahame.
And Abraham was old, and well stricken in age: and the LORD had blessed Abraham in all things.
2 Hoe t’i Avrahame amy zokem-pitoro’e añ’ anjomba’ey, ie mpamandroñe ze hene vara’e, Ano ambane feko atoa ty fità’o,
And Abraham said to his oldest servant of his house, that ruled over all that he had, Put, I pray you, your hand under my thigh:
3 fa hampifantako añam’ Iehovà, Andrianañaharen-dikerañe naho Andrianamboatse ty tane toiy irehe te tsy hangala-baly ho a i anakoy amo anak’ampela nte-Kanàne itraofako fimoneñeo
And 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 to my son of the daughters of the Canaanites, among whom I dwell:
4 fe mañaveloa mb’an-taneko naho mb’aman-dongoko mb’eo hangala-baly ho a’ Ietsàk’ anako.
But you shall go to my country, and to my kindred, and take a wife to my son Isaac.
5 Aa hoe i mpitoro’ey ama’e, Hera tsy mete hañorik’ ahy mb’an-tane atoy i ampelay; ie amy zao hendeseko mimpoly mb’amy tane nihirifa’o añey hao i ana’oy?
And the servant said to him, Peradventure the woman will not be willing to follow me to this land: must I needs bring your son again to the land from where you came?
6 Hoe t’i Avrahame tama’e, Mitaoa tsy hampoli’o añe i anadahikoy.
And Abraham said to him, Beware you that you bring not my son thither again.
7 Iehovà Andrianañaharen-dikerañe ninday ahy niakatse ty anjomban-draeko naho i tanen-dongokoy vaho nifanta ty hoe amako, Hatoloko amo tarira’oo o tane toio, ie ty hañitrike i anjeli’ey aolo’o hangalà’o valy añe ho amy ana-dahikoy.
The LORD God of heaven, which took me from my father’s house, and from the land of my kindred, and which spoke to me, and that swore to me, saying, To your seed will I give this land; he shall send his angel before you, and you shall take a wife to my son from there.
8 Aa naho tsy mete hañorik’ azo i ampelay, le ho afak’ amo nampifantàkoo; fe tsy hampipolie’o añe i ana-dahikoy.
And if the woman will not be willing to follow you, then you shall be clear from this my oath: only bring not my son thither again.
9 Aa le nanoe’ i mpitoroñey ambanen-tso’ i Avrahame talè’ey ty fità’e vaho nitsokòse ama’e i hoe zay.
And the servant put his hand under the thigh of Abraham his master, and swore to him concerning that matter.
10 Nalae’ i mpitoro’ey amy zao ty rameva folo amo ramevan-talè’eo le niavotse, naho hene am-pita’e ao ze varan-talè’e, ie niongake nionjoñe mb’e Arame-naharaime, mb’an-drova’ i Nakore añe.
And the servant took ten camels of the camels of his master, and departed; for all the goods of his master were in his hand: and he arose, and went to Mesopotamia, to the city of Nahor.
11 Nampitongalefe’e alafe’ i rovay marine ty vovoñe ey o ramevao, naho fa hiroñe i àndroy, ami’ty fiavota’ o ampela hitarikeo.
And he made his camels to kneel down without the city by a well of water at the time of the evening, even the time that women go out to draw water.
12 Le hoe re, Ry Iehovà, Andrianañahare’ i Avrahame talèkoy, miambane ama’o, anoloro fahatafeterañe te anito vaho ferenaiño t’i Avrahame talèko.
And he said O LORD God of my master Abraham, I pray you, send me good speed this day, and show kindness to my master Abraham.
13 Vazohò t’ie mijohañe marine rano migoangoañ’ atoy vaho fa mitoha rano mb’etoa o anak’ ampela’ ondati’ i rovaio,
Behold, I stand here by the well of water; and the daughters of the men of the city come out to draw water:
14 le ehe te ty ampela hataoko ty hoe, Ehe azotso amo kiboloha’oo hinomako, vaho hanoe’e ty hoe, Mikamà le hampinomeko ka o rameva’oo, le toe ie ty nedre’o ho a i mpitoro’o Ietsàkey, haharendrehako te niferenaiñe’o i talèkoy.
And let it come to pass, that the damsel to whom I shall say, Let down your pitcher, I pray you, that I may drink; and she shall say, Drink, and I will give your camels drink also: let the same be she that you have appointed for your servant Isaac; and thereby shall I know that you have showed kindness to my master.
15 Mbe tsy nigadoñe i saontsi’ey, te ingo nitoha mb’eo t’i Ribkae, nasama’ i Betoele ana’ i Milkae, vali’ i Nakore rahalahi’ i Avrahame, ninday ty amboara’e an-tsoro’e.
And it came to pass, before he had done speaking, that, behold, Rebekah came out, who was born to Bethuel, son of Milcah, the wife of Nahor, Abraham’s brother, with her pitcher on her shoulder.
16 Somondrara trenotreno’e am-pahoniñan-dre, ampela miehañe mbe tsy nahavany lahy, nizotso mb’an-drano mb’eo, le nipeae’e i amboara’ey vaho niañambone mb’eo.
And the damsel was very fair to look on, a virgin, neither had any man known her: and she went down to the well, and filled her pitcher, and came up.
17 Nihitrihitry hifanalaka ama’e i mpitoroñey, nanao ty hoe, Ehe anjotsò, hitsopeke rano amo kiboloha’oo.
And the servant ran to meet her, and said, Let me, I pray you, drink a little water of your pitcher.
18 Mikamà, roandria hoe re, le nazè’e aniany an-taña’e i kiboloha’ey le nanjotsoa’e.
And she said, Drink, my lord: and she hurried, and let down her pitcher on her hand, and gave him drink.
19 Ie niheneke ty nampikama’e aze, le hoe re, Ho tarihako ka o rameva’oo ampara’ te etsa-drano.
And when she had done giving him drink, she said, I will draw water for your camels also, until they have done drinking.
20 Aa le nalonga’e amy zao an-dabaoga ao i amboara’ey naho nilay mb’am-bovom-b’eo indraike hitarike le songa nitariha’e o rameva’eo.
And she hurried, and emptied her pitcher into the trough, and ran again to the well to draw water, and drew for all his camels.
21 Nilatsa’ indatiy, nianjiñe avao haharendreke ke nampihenefa’ Iehovà i lia’ey he tsie.
And the man wondering at her held his peace, to wit whether the LORD had made his journey prosperous or not.
22 Ie hene enen-drano o ramevao, le rinambe’ indatiy ty bangen-oroñe volamena nilanja vakin-tsekele naho ty ravake roe ho an-tsira’e nilanja volamena folo
And it came to pass, as the camels had done drinking, that the man took a golden earring of half a shekel weight, and two bracelets for her hands of ten shekels weight of gold;
23 vaho nanao ty hoe, Toñono amako, ana’ia irehe. Ehe mete tsahatse anay hialeñe hao ty añ’akiban-drae’o?
And said, Whose daughter are you? tell me, I pray you: is there room in your father’s house for us to lodge in?
24 Hoe re tama’e, Ana’ i Betoele, ana’ i Milkae iraho, nasama’e amy Nakore.
And she said to him, I am the daughter of Bethuel the son of Milcah, which she bore to Nahor.
25 Nitovoña’e ty hoe, Amañ’ ahetse naho hanen-kare mahaheneke zahay vaho traño ialeñañe.
She said moreover to him, We have both straw and provender enough, and room to lodge in.
26 Nabotre’ indatiy ty añambone’e nitalaho am’ Iehovà,
And the man bowed down his head, and worshipped the LORD.
27 ami’ty hoe, Andriañeñe abey t’Iehovà Andrianañahare’ i Avrahame talèko, te tsy nitana’e amy talèkoy ty fiferenaiña’e naho ty figahiña’e, naho niaolo ahiko mb’añ’anjomban-dongo’ i talèkoy t’Iehovà.
And he said, Blessed be the LORD God of my master Abraham, who has not left destitute my master of his mercy and his truth: I being in the way, the LORD led me to the house of my master’s brothers.
28 Nilay mb’añ’anjomban-drene’e mb’eo amy zao i somondraray nitalily irezay.
And the damsel ran, and told them of her mother’s house these things.
29 Aman’ drahalahy atao Labàne t’i Ribkae, le nihitrike ty lay mb’ am’ indaty am-bovoñey t’i Labàne,
And Rebekah had a brother, and his name was Laban: and Laban ran out to the man, to the well.
30 ie nioni’e i bangen-oroñey, naho o ravak’ an-tsiran-drahavave’eo, naho nitalilia’e ty hoe: Inao ty nisaontsia’ indatiy, le nimb’ am’ indatiy mb’eo vaho naheo’e t’ie nijohañe marine o rameva’eo amy vovoñey.
And it came to pass, when he saw the earring and bracelets on his sister’s hands, and when he heard the words of Rebekah his sister, saying, Thus spoke the man to me; that he came to the man; and, behold, he stood by the camels at the well.
31 Hoe re, Miheova, ry tahie’ Iehovà. Ino ty ijohaña’o alafe atoy? fa nihajarieko traño naho toetse o ramevao.
And he said, Come in, you blessed of the LORD; why stand you without? for I have prepared the house, and room for the camels.
32 Aa le nimoak’ añ’ anjomba ao indatiy naho nafaha’ i Labàne amo ramevao i kilankañey, naho tinolo’e ahetse naho haneñe o rameva’eo, naho rano hanasañe ty fandia’e naho o fandia’ ondaty nindre ama’eo.
And the man came into the house: and he ungirded his camels, and gave straw and provender for the camels, and water to wash his feet, and the men’s feet that were with him.
33 Nanjotsoañe hikama, fa hoe ka re, Tsy hihinañe naho tsy taroñeko hey i namantohañ’ ahiy. Hoe ty natoi’e, Itaroño.
And there was set meat before him to eat: but he said, I will not eat, until I have told my errand. And he said, Speak on.
34 Aa le hoe re, Mpitoro’ i Avrahame iraho.
And he said, I am Abraham’s servant.
35 Fa ra’elahy ty fitahia’ Iehovà i talèkoy, vaho mpañaleale re henaneo; ie nitolora’e añondry naho añombe naho volafoty naho volamena, ondevo lahy naho ampela, rameva naho borìke,
And the LORD has blessed my master greatly; and he is become great: and he has given him flocks, and herds, and silver, and gold, and menservants, and maidservants, and camels, and asses.
36 mbore nisamak’ ana-dahy añamy talèkoy t’i Sarà vali’e ie fa bey, vaho natolo’e aze ze he’e ama’e.
And Sarah my master’s wife bore a son to my master when she was old: and to him has he given all that he has.
37 Nampifantan-talèko ahy ty hoe, Ko angala’o valy amo anak’ ampela nte-Kanàne, tompo’ ty tane imoneñako atoio i anakoy;
And my master made me swear, saying, You shall not take a wife to my son of the daughters of the Canaanites, in whose land I dwell:
38 fa ty anjomban-draeko ty homba’o; amo rolongokoo ty hangala’o valy ho a i anakoy.
But you shall go to my father’s house, and to my kindred, and take a wife to my son.
39 Le hoe Iraho amy talèkoy, Kera tsy hañorik’ ahy i ampela zay.
And I said to my master, Peradventure the woman will not follow me.
40 Fa hoe re amako, Iehovà iatrefako lia ro hañitrike ty anjeli’e ama’o hampitafetetse ty lia’o, hangala’o valy aman-dongoko añe, añ’ anjomban-draeko ao, i anakoy.
And he said to me, The LORD, before whom I walk, will send his angel with you, and prosper your way; and you shall take a wife for my son of my kindred, and of my father’s house:
41 Le ho afak’ amy nifantàkoy irehe lehe mivotrak’ aman-drolongoko ao fe tsy hitolora’ iareo, vaho toe ho haha amy nifantàkoy.
Then shall you be clear from this my oath, when you come to my kindred; and if they give not you one, you shall be clear from my oath.
42 Niheo mb’amy vovoñey Iraho anindroany, nanao ty hoe, Ry Iehovà, Andrianañahare’ i Avrahame talèkoy, ee te ho tafetere’o henanekeo ty liako!
And I came this day to the well, and said, O LORD God of my master Abraham, if now you do prosper my way which I go:
43 Hehe te mijohañe am-bovon-drano atoy iraho; le ze somondrara miakatse hitari-drano volañeko ty hoe, Anjotsò rano hitsopehako amo dabakera’oo;
Behold, I stand by the well of water; and it shall come to pass, that when the virgin comes forth to draw water, and I say to her, Give me, I pray you, a little water of your pitcher to drink;
44 le ie hanao amako ty hoe, Mikamà vaho hitarihako ka o rameva’oo, ehe t’ie i somondrara nitendre’ Iehovà ho amy ana’ i talèkoiy.
And she say to me, Both drink you, and I will also draw for your camels: let the same be the woman whom the LORD has appointed out for my master’s son.
45 Aa mbe tsy nimodo i entako an-trokoy, hehe te pok’eo t’i Ribkae, i favinta’ey an-tsoro’e eo naho nizotso mb’ an-drano mb’eo hitarike, le hoe ty nanoako, Ehe, ampinomo;
And before I had done speaking in my heart, behold, Rebekah came forth with her pitcher on her shoulder; and she went down to the well, and drew water: and I said to her, Let me drink, I pray you.
46 nalisa re nampizotso i kiboloha’ey le nanao ty hoe, Mikamà, vaho hampinomeko ka o rameva’oo. Aa le ninoñe Iraho vaho nanesea’e iaby o ramevao.
And she made haste, and let down her pitcher from her shoulder, and said, Drink, and I will give your camels drink also: so I drank, and she made the camels drink also.
47 Le hoe ty ontaneko ama’e, Ana’ ia v’iheo? Hoe re, Ana’ i Betoele, ana’ i Nakore nisamaha’ i Milkae. Aa le nanoeko añ’oro’e eo i bangey naho amo sira’eo o ravakeo.
And I asked her, and said, Whose daughter are you? And she said, the daughter of Bethuel, Nahor’s son, whom Milcah bore to him: and I put the earring on her face, and the bracelets on her hands.
48 Le nabotreko ty lohako nitalaho am’ Iehovà vaho nandriañeko t’Iehovà Andrianañahare’ i Avrahame talèkoy, i nanehak’ ahy andalam-bantañe hangalako ty ana-dongo’ i talèkoy ho a i ana’eiy.
And I bowed down my head, and worshipped the LORD, and blessed the LORD God of my master Abraham, which had led me in the right way to take my master’s brother’s daughter to his son.
49 Ie amy zao, naho mete hifandahatse an-kavañonañe naho an-kahiti’e amy talèkoy le isaontsio, fa naho tsy izay, isaontsio, hivihako mb’an-tañan-kavana ndra mb’an-kavia.
And now if you 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 Le hoe ty natoi’ i Labàne naho i Betoele, Toe boak’ am’ Iehovà o raha zao; tsy mete ivolaña’ay ndra ty soa ndra ty raty.
Then Laban and Bethuel answered and said, The thing proceeds from the LORD: we cannot speak to you bad or good.
51 Ingo, añatrefa’o t’i Ribkae, rambeso; mañaveloa vaho ampañengao i anan-talè’oy ty amy tsara’ Iehovày.
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 Ie nahajanjiñe i enta’ iareoy i mpitoro’ i Avrahamey, le niankohoke an-tane am’ Iehovà;
And it came to pass, that, when Abraham’s servant heard their words, he worshipped the LORD, bowing himself to the earth.
53 vaho naaka’ i mpitoroñey amy zao ty bije volafoty naho ty voatsiriry volamena naho saroñe, le natolo’e amy Ribkae; nomei’e raha sarobily ka i rahalahi’ey naho i rene’e.
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 Nikama naho ninoñe amy zao re naho ondaty nitraok’ ama’eo, vaho nialeñe ao. Ie nitroatse maraindray le hoe re, Ampionjono mb’ amy talèkoy mb’eo.
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 to my master.
55 Hoe ka ty rahalahi’e naho i rene’e, Angao hitobok’ ama’ay atoy hey re, va’e folo andro vaho hienga.
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 hoe re tam’iereo, Ko ampiroñonen-draho; kanao nampihenefe’ Iehovà ty liako, iraho mb’eo himpoly mb’an-talèko mb’eo.
And he said to them, Hinder me not, seeing the LORD has prospered my way; send me away that I may go to my master.
57 Hoe iereo, Ho tokave’ay i ampelay, hañontane am-bava’e.
And they said, We will call the damsel, and inquire at her mouth.
58 Aa le kinanji’iareo t’i Ribkae, vaho nanoa’e ty hoe, No’o hao ty hindre lia am’ ondatio? Handeha iraho, hoe re.
And they called Rebekah, and said to her, Will you go with this man? And she said, I will go.
59 Aa le nampionjone’ iereo mb’eo t’i Ribkae, rahavave’ iareo naho i mpiatra’ey, naho i mpitoro’ i Avrahamey naho ondati’eo.
And they sent away Rebekah their sister, and her nurse, and Abraham’s servant, and his men.
60 Le tinata’ iareo t’i Ribkae naho nanoa’ iareo ty hoe, Ee te ihe, rahavave’ay ro hitombo añ’arivo naho añ’ale; naho ho fanaña’ o tarira’oo o lalam-beim-palaiñ’ azoo.
And they blessed Rebekah, and said to her, You are our sister, be you the mother of thousands of millions, and let your seed possess the gate of those which hate them.
61 Niongak’ amy zao t’i Ribkae naho o mpiatra’eo, nijoñe an-drameva nañorike indatiy; aa le nendese’ i mpitoroñey t’i Ribkae vaho nañavelo mb’eo.
And Rebekah arose, and her damsels, and they rode on the camels, and followed the man: and the servant took Rebekah, and went his way.
62 Ie henane zay niakatse amy lala’ i Vovon-Daka’iroiy t’Ietsàke, ie fa nimoneñe an-tane’ Nègeve ao.
And Isaac came from the way of the well Lahairoi; for he dwelled in the south country.
63 Niavotse amy harivay t’Ietsàke hitalaho an-kivok’ ao, aa ie niandra, le naheo’e te rameva ty nimb’ama’e mb’eo.
And Isaac went out to meditate in the field at the eventide: and he lifted up his eyes, and saw, and, behold, the camels were coming.
64 Niandra ka t’i Ribkae nahaoniñe Ietsàke le nizotso amy ramevay,
And Rebekah lifted up her eyes, and when she saw Isaac, she lighted off the camel.
65 nañontane amy mpitoroñey ty hoe, Iam-bao ondaty midraidraitse an-kivoke ey hifanalaka aman-tikañeo? Hoe i mpitoroñey, Ty talèko ‘nio. Rinambe’e amy zao i sarimbo’e mangarakarakey le nisaroñe.
For she had said to the servant, What man is this that walks in the field to meet us? And the servant had said, It is my master: therefore she took a veil, and covered herself.
66 Hene natalili’ i mpitoroñey am’ Ietsàke o nanoe’eo.
And the servant told Isaac all things that he had done.
67 Le nendese’ Ietsàke nizilik’ an-kibohon-drene’e ao naho nengae’e ho vali’e t’i Ribkae; naho nikokoa’e vaho nitendreke hanintsiñe amy havilasin-drene’ey t’Ietsàke.
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.
