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 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 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 thee swear by the LORD, the God of heaven and the God of the earth, that thou shalt not take a wife for 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 thou shalt go unto my country, and to my kindred, and take a wife for 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 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 Hoe t’i Avrahame tama’e, Mitaoa tsy hampoli’o añe i anadahikoy.
And Abraham said unto him, Beware thou that thou 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, the God of heaven, that took me from my father’s house, and from the land of my nativity, and that spake unto me, and that sware unto me, saying, Unto thy seed will I give this land; he shall send his angel before thee, and thou shalt take a wife for my son from thence.
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 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 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 sware to him concerning this 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; having all goodly things of his master’s in his hand: and he arose, and went to Mesopotamia, unto 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 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 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, the God of my master Abraham, send me, I pray thee, good speed this day, and shew kindness unto 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 by the fountain 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 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 shewed kindness unto 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 the son of Milcah, the wife of Nahor, Abraham’s brother, with her pitcher upon 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 upon, a virgin, neither had any man known her: and she went down to the fountain, 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, Give me to drink, I pray thee, a little water of thy 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 hasted, and let down her pitcher upon 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 for thy 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 hasted, and emptied her pitcher into the trough, and ran again unto the well to draw, and drew for all his camels.
21 Nilatsa’ indatiy, nianjiñe avao haharendreke ke nampihenefa’ Iehovà i lia’ey he tsie.
And the man looked stedfastly on her; holding his peace, to know 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 ring 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 art thou? tell me, I pray thee. Is there room in thy 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 unto him, I am the daughter of Bethuel the son of Milcah, which she bare unto Nahor.
25 Nitovoña’e ty hoe, Amañ’ ahetse naho hanen-kare mahaheneke zahay vaho traño ialeñañe.
She said moreover unto 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 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, the God of my master Abraham, who hath not forsaken his mercy and his truth toward my master: as for me, the LORD hath led me in the way to the house of my master’s brethren.
28 Nilay mb’añ’anjomban-drene’e mb’eo amy zao i somondraray nitalily irezay.
And the damsel ran, and told her mother’s house according to these words.
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 unto the man, unto the fountain.
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 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 stood by the camels at the fountain.
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, thou blessed of the LORD; wherefore standest thou 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 the camels; and he 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 mine 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 hath blessed my master greatly; and he is become great: and he hath 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 bare a son to my master when she was old: and unto him hath he given all that he hath.
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, Thou shalt not take a wife for 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 thou shalt go unto my father’s house, and to my kindred, and take a wife for my son.
39 Le hoe Iraho amy talèkoy, Kera tsy hañorik’ ahy i ampela zay.
And I said unto 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 unto me, The LORD, 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 Le ho afak’ amy nifantàkoy irehe lehe mivotrak’ aman-drolongoko ao fe tsy hitolora’ iareo, vaho toe ho haha amy nifantàkoy.
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 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 unto the fountain, and said, O LORD, the God of my master Abraham, if now thou 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 fountain of water; and let it come to pass, that the maiden which cometh forth to draw, to whom I shall say, Give me, I pray thee, a little water of thy 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 shall say to me, Both drink thou, and I will also draw for thy camels: let the same be the woman whom the LORD hath appointed 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 mine 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 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 thy 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 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 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 my head, and worshipped the LORD, and blessed the LORD, the God of my master Abraham, which had led me in the right way to take my master’s brother’s daughter for 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 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 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 proceedeth from the LORD: we cannot speak unto thee 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 thee, take her, and go, and let her be thy master’s son’s wife, as the LORD hath 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 bowed himself down to the earth unto the LORD.
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 unto 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 unto them, Hinder me not, seeing the LORD hath 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 unto her, Wilt thou 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 unto her, Our sister, be thou [the mother] of thousands of ten thousands, and let thy 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 upon 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 Beer-lahai-roi; for he dwelt in the land of the South.
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, there were camels 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.
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 Hene natalili’ i mpitoroñey am’ Ietsàke o nanoe’eo.
And the servant told Isaac all the 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.
