Uumama 24
1 Yeroo sana Abrahaam dulloomee, umuriin isaa akka malee dheeratee ture; Waaqayyos waan hundumaan isa eebbise.
And Abraham he was old he had come in days and Yahweh he had blessed Abraham in everything.
2 Innis tajaajilaa mana isaa hangafa kan waan inni qabu hunda irratti itti gaafatamaa taʼeen akkana jedhe; “Mee harka kee gudeeda koo jala kaaʼi.
And he said Abraham to servant his old of household his who was ruling over all that [belonged] to him put please hand your under thigh my.
3 Ani akka ati intallan warra Kanaʼaan kanneen ani gidduu isaanii jiraadhuu keessaa ilma kootiif niitii hin fidneef Waaqayyo Waaqa samiitii fi Waaqa lafaatiin kakattu nan barbaada;
So I may make swear you by Yahweh [the] God of the heavens and [the] God of the earth that not you will take a wife for son my from [the] daughters of the Canaanite[s] whom I [am] dwelling in midst its.
4 garuu gara biyya kootii fi gara firoota koo dhaqiitii ilma koo Yisihaaqiif niitii barbaadi.”
For to land my and to kindred my you will go and you will take a wife for son my for Isaac.
5 Tajaajilaan sun immoo, “Yoo dubartiin sun na wajjin gara biyya kanaa dhufuuf fedhii qabaachuu baatte hoo? Ani ilma kee gara biyya ati keessaa dhufte sanaatti deebisee geessuun qabaa?” jedhee isa gaafate.
And he said to him the servant perhaps not she will be willing the woman to go after me to the land this ¿ really will I take back son your to the land where you came out from there.
6 Abrahaamis akkana isaan jedhe; “Ati akka ilma koo deebiftee biyya sanatti hin geessine of eeggadhu.
And he said to him Abraham take heed to yourself lest you should take back son my there towards.
7 Waaqayyo Waaqni samii inni mana abbaa kootii fi biyya ani itti dhaladhe keessaa na fidee, ‘Ani biyya kana sanyii keetiif nan kenna’ jechuudhaan natti dubbatee kakatee waadaa naa seene sun akka ati achii ilma kootiif niitii fidduuf ergamaa isaa fuula kee dura ni erga.
Yahweh - [the] God of the heavens who he took me from [the] household of father my and from [the] land of kindred my and who he spoke to me and who he swore an oath to me saying to offspring your I will give the land this he he will send angel his before you and you will take a wife for son my from there.
8 Yoo dubartiin sun si wajjin dhufuuf fedhii qabaachuu baatte immoo ati kakuu koo kana irraa bilisa taata. Ilma koo garuu gonkumaa achi hin deebisin.”
And if not she will be willing the woman to go after you and you will be free from oath my this only son my not you must take back there towards.
9 Kanaafuu tajaajilaan sun harka isaa gudeeda gooftaa isaa Abrahaam jala kaaʼee waaʼee waan kanaa kakateef.
And he put the servant hand his under [the] thigh of Abraham master his and he swore an oath to him on the matter this.
10 Tajaajilaan sunis gaala gooftaa isaa keessaa kudhan fudhatee gooftaa isaa biraa immoo kennaawwan filatamoo gosa hundaa feʼatee qajeele; innis magaalaa Naahoor ishee kaaba dhiʼa Phaadaan Arraam keessatti argamtuu dhaqe.
And he took the servant ten camels from [the] camels of master his and he went and every good thing of master his [was] in hand his and he arose and he went to Aram Naharaim to [the] city of Nahor.
11 Innis akka gaalawwan sun magaalattiin alatti boolla bishaanii cina jijilbeenfatan godhe; yeroon sun gara galgalaa yeroo itti dubartoonni bishaan waraabbachuu baʼan ture.
And he made kneel the camels from [the] outside of the city to [the] well of the water to [the] time of evening to [the] time of [the] going out of the [women who] draw water.
12 Innis akkana jedhee kadhate; “Yaa Waaqayyo Waaqa gooftaa koo Abrahaam, harʼa na milkeessiitii gooftaa koo Abrahaamiif garaa laafi.
And he said - O Yahweh [the] God of master my Abraham make happen please before me this day and do covenant loyalty with master my Abraham.
13 Kunoo, ani burqaa kana bira dhaabadheen jira; intallan warra magaalaa kanaas bishaan waraabbachuuf as baʼaa jiru.
Here! I [am] standing at [the] spring of the water and [the] daughters of [the] people of the city [are] coming out to draw water.
14 Intalli ani, ‘Maaloo akka ani bishaan dhuguuf okkotee kee gad qabi’ jedheenii isheenis, ‘Dhugi; ani gaalawwan kees siifin obaasaa’ naan jettu ishee ati garbicha kee Yisihaaqiif filatte haa taatu. Anis kanaan akka ati gooftaa kootiif garaa laafte beeka.”
And it will be the young woman whom I will say to her bend down please jar your so I may drink and she will say drink and also camels your I will give a drink to her you have appointed for servant your for Isaac and by it I will know that you have done covenant loyalty with master my.
15 Utuu inni kadhatee hin fixatin Ribqaan okkotee ishee gatiittiitti baadhattee dhufte. Isheenis intala ilma Miilkaa kan Betuuʼeel jedhamu sanaa turte; Miilkaan immoo niitii obboleessa Abrahaam kan Naahoor jedhamu sanaa ti.
And it was he not yet he had finished to speak and there! Rebekah [was] coming out who she had been born to Bethuel [the] son of Milcah [the] wife of Nahor [the] brother of Abraham and jar her [was] on shoulder her.
16 Intalli sunis akka malee bareedduu fi durba turte; dhiirri tokko iyyuu ishee wajjin hin ciifne. Isheenis gara burqaatti gad buutee okkotee isheetti bishaan guuttattee ol deebite.
And the young woman [was] good of appearance exceedingly a virgin and a man not he had known her and she went down the spring towards and she filled jar her and she came up.
17 Tajaajilaan sunis ishee simachuuf itti fiigee, “Maaloo okkotee kee keessaa bishaan xinnoo ishee naa kenni” jedheen.
And he ran the servant to meet her and he said give to drink me please a little of water from jar your.
18 Isheenis, “Yaa gooftaa ko, dhugi” jetteenii daftee okkotee ishee harkatti gad buufattee bishaan dhugaatii kenniteef.
And she said drink O lord my and she hurried and she put down jar her on hand her and she gave a drink him.
19 Isheenis erga bishaan isa obaaftee booddee, “Ani gaalawwan keetiifis hamma isaan dhuganii dheebuu baʼanitti nan waraaba” jette.
And she finished to give a drink him and she said also for camels your I will draw water until they have finished to drink.
20 Daftees okkotee ishee keessaa bidiruutti garagalchitee ammas bishaan waraabuudhaaf gara boolla bishaaniitti fiigde; gaalawwan isaa hundaafis bishaan waraabde.
And she hurried and she emptied jar her into the watering channel and she ran again to the well to draw water and she drew water for all camels his.
21 Namichi sunis akka Waaqayyo karaa isaaf milkeesse yookaan akka isaaf hin milkeessin baruuf jedhee calʼisee xiyyeeffatee ishee ilaalaa ture.
And the man [was] gazing to her being silent to know ¿ had he made successful Yahweh journey his or? not.
22 Erga gaalawwan bishaan dhuganii booddee namichi amartii funyaanii kan warqee kan walakkaa saqilii ulfaatuu fi bitawoo warqee kan saqilii kudhan ulfaatu lama gad baasee,
And it was just as they had finished the camels to drink and he took the man a ring of gold [was] a beka weight its and two bracelets on hands her [was] ten of gold weight their.
23 “Ati intala eenyuu ti? Yoo mana abbaa keetii iddoon bulan jiraatte maaloo mee natti himi” jedhee gaafate.
And he said daughter of whom? [are] you tell please to me ¿ [is] there [the] house of father your room for us to stay [the] night.
24 Isheenis, “Ani intala Betuuʼeel; Betuuʼeel immoo ilma Miilkaan Naahooriif deessee dha” isaan jette.
And she said to him [am] [the] daughter of Bethuel I [the] son of Milcah whom she bore to Nahor.
25 Itti dabaltees, “Cidii fi okaa baayʼee qabna; kutaan isin bultanis jira” jetteen.
And she said to him both straw as well as fodder much which [is] with us also room to stay [the] night.
26 Namichis gad jedhee Waaqayyoof sagade;
And he bowed low the man and he bowed down to Yahweh.
27 akkanas jedhe; “Waaqayyo Waaqni gooftaa koo Abrahaam kan arjummaa isaatii fi amanamummaa isaa gooftaa koo hin dhowwatin sun haa eebbifamu. Waaqayyo anas gara mana obboloota gooftaa kootti karaa irra na qajeelcheera.”
And he said [be] blessed Yahweh [the] God of master my Abraham who not he has left covenant loyalty his and faithfulness his from with master my I on the journey he has led me Yahweh [the] house of [the] relatives of master my.
28 Intalattiinis fiigdee dhaqxee warra mana haadha ishee jiranitti waaʼee waan kanaa himte.
And she ran the young woman and she told to [the] household of mother her according to the things these.
29 Ribqaan obboleessa Laabaa jedhamu tokko qabdi turte; Laabaanis fiigee namicha burqaa bishaanii bira jiru sana bira dhaqe.
And [belonged] to Rebekah a brother and name his [was] Laban and he ran Laban to the man the outside towards to the spring.
30 Innis yommuu obboleettii isaa irratti amartii funyaanii warqeetii fi bitawoo argetti, yommuu utuu Ribqaan waan namichi sun isheedhaan jedhe dubbattuu dhagaʼetti, gara namichaatti gad baʼe; namichis burqaa bishaanii cina gaalawwan bira dhaabatee ture.
And it was - when saw the ring and the bracelets on [the] hands of sister his and just as heard he [the] words of Rebekah sister his saying thus he spoke to me the man and he went to the man and there! [he was] standing with the camels at the spring.
31 Namicha sanaanis, “Yaa namicha Waaqayyo eebbise, kottu; ati maaliif ala dhaabatta? Ani manicha qopheesseera; gaalawwaniifis iddoo qopheesseera” jedhe.
And he said come O [one] blessed of Yahweh why? are you standing on the outside and I I have made clear the house and a place for the camels.
32 Kanaafuu namichi sun gara manaa dhaqe; Laabaanis gaalawwan irraa feʼiisa buusee cidii fi okaa kenneef; akka miilla isaanii dhiqataniif immoo namichaa fi warra isa wajjin turaniif bishaan kenne.
And he went the man the house towards and he unharnessed the camels and he gave straw and fodder to the camels and water to wash feet his and [the] feet of the men who [were] with him.
33 Ergasiis nyaanni dhiʼaateef; namichi sun garuu, “Ani hamman dhimma koo himadhutti hin nyaadhu” jedhe. Laabaanis, “Himadhukaa” jedheen.
(And it was put *Q(K)*) before him to eat and he said not I will eat until I have spoken words my and he said speak.
34 Innis akkana jedhe; “Ani tajaajilaa Abrahaamii ti.
And he said [am] [the] servant of Abraham I.
35 Waaqayyo, gooftaa koo guddaa eebbiseera; innis sooromeera. Hoolotaa fi loowwan, meetii fi warqee, garboota dhiiraatii fi dubartii, gaalawwanii fi harroota isaaf kenneera.
And Yahweh he has blessed master my exceedingly and he has become great and he has given to him sheep and cattle and silver and gold and [male] servants and female servants and camels and donkeys.
36 Niitiin gooftaa kootii Saaraan bara dulluma ishee keessa ilma isaaf deesse; innis waan qabu hunda ilma isaatiif kenneera.
And she has borne Sarah [the] wife of master my a son to master my after old age her and he has given to him all that [belongs] to him.
37 Gooftaan koo akkana jedhee na kakachiise; ‘Ati intallan Kanaʼaan kanneen ani biyya isaanii keessa jiraadhu keessaa ilma koof niitii hin fidin;
And he made swear an oath me master my saying not (you must take *LA(bh)*) a wife for son my from [the] daughters of the Canaanite[s] whom I [am] dwelling in land its.
38 garuu gara mana abbaa kootii fi gara gosa koo dhaqiitii ilma kootiif niitii fidi.’
If not to [the] house of father my you will go and to family my and you will take a wife for son my.
39 “Anis, ‘Yoo dubartiin sun na wajjin dhufuuf fedhii qabaachuu baattee hoo?’ jedhee gooftaa koo nan gaafadhe.
And I said to master my perhaps not she will go the woman after me.
40 “Innis akkana naan jedhe; ‘Waaqayyo inni ani fuula isaa dura jiraadhu ergamaa isaa si wajjin ergee karaa kee siif milkeessa; atis gosa koo fi mana abbaa koo keessaa ilma kootiif niitii ni fidda.
And he said to me Yahweh whom I have walked about before him he will send angel his with you and he will make successful journey your and you will take a wife for son my from family my and from [the] household of father my.
41 Ati yommuu gara gosa koo dhaqxu kakuu koo irraa bilisa taata; yoo isaan intala sana sitti kennuu didani iyyuu ati kakuu koo irraa bilisa taata.’
Then you will be free from oath my for you will go to family my and if not they will give [her] to you and you will be free from oath my.
42 “Ani harʼa yommuun gara burqaa kanaa dhufetti akkanan jedhe; ‘Yaa Waaqayyo, Waaqa gooftaa koo Abrahaam yoo fedhii kee taʼe karaa ani deemu naa milkeessi.
And I came this day to the spring and I said O Yahweh [the] God of master my Abraham if [are] there you please [are] making successful journey my which I [am] going on it.
43 Kunoo, ani burqaa kana bira dhaabadheera; yoo durbi tokko bishaan waraabbachuu dhuftee ani immoo, “Maaloo okkotee kee keessaa bishaan xinnoo ishee na obaasi” jedheenii,
Here! I [am] standing at [the] spring of the water and it will be the young woman who will come out to draw water and I will say to her give to drink me please a little of water from jar your.
44 isheenis, “Dhugi; ani gaalawwan keetiifis nan waraaba” naan jette, isheen kan Waaqayyo ilma gooftaa kootiif file haa taatu.’
And she will say to me both you drink and also for camels your I will draw water she [be] the woman whom he has appointed Yahweh for [the] son of master my.
45 “Utuu ani garaa koo keessatti kadhadhee hin fixatin Ribqaan okkotee ishee gatiittiitti baadhattee gad dhufte. Isheenis gara burqaa sanaatti gad buutee bishaan waraabbatte; anis, ‘Maaloo bishaan na obaasi’ nan jedheen.
I not yet I had finished to speak to heart my and there! Rebekah [was] coming out and jar her [was] on shoulder her and she went down the spring towards and she drew water and I said to her give a drink me please.
46 “Isheenis daftee okkotee ishee gatiittii irraa gad buufattee, ‘Dhugi; ani gaalawwan kees nan obaasaa’ jette. Anis nan dhuge; isheen immoo gaalawwan obaafte.
And she hurried and she put down jar her from on her and she said drink and also camels your I will give a drink to and I drank and also the camels she gave a drink.
47 “Anis, ‘Ati intala eenyuu ti?’ jedheen ishee gaafadhe. “Ishee immoo, ‘Ani intala Betuuʼeel; Betuuʼeel immoo ilma Miilkaan Naahooriif deessee dha’ jette. “Anis funyaan isheetti amartii, harka isheetti immoo bitawoo nan kaaʼe.
And I asked her and I said daughter of whom? [are] you and she said [the] daughter of Bethuel [the] son of Nahor whom she bore to him Milcah and I put the ring on nose her and the bracelets on hands her.
48 Anis gad jedhee Waaqayyoof nan sagade; Waaqayyo Waaqa gooftaa koo Abrahaam isa akka ani intala fira isaa ilma isaatiif geessu karaa qajeelaa irra na buuse sana nan eebbise.
And I bowed low and I bowed down to Yahweh and I blessed Yahweh [the] God of master my Abraham who he had led me in [the] way of truth to take [the] daughter of [the] brother of master my for son his.
49 Egaa isin yoo gooftaa kootti garaa laafummaa fi amanamummaa argisiiftan natti himaa; yoo taʼuu baate immoo akka ani gara bitaatti yookaan gara mirgaatti goru natti himaa.”
And now if [are] there you doing loyalty and faithfulness with master my tell to me and if not tell to me so I may turn to right or to left.
50 Laabaa fi Betuuʼeelis akkana jedhanii deebisan; “Wanni kun Waaqayyo biraa dhufe; nu waan hamaa yookaan waan tolaa sitti dubbachuu hin dandeenyu.
And he answered Laban and Bethuel and they said from Yahweh it has come out the matter not we are able to speak to you evil or good.
51 Kunoo, Ribqaan fuula kee dura jirti; ishee fudhadhuu deemi; isheenis akkuma Waaqayyo dubbatetti niitii ilma gooftaa keetii haa taatu.”
Here! Rebekah [is] before you take [her] and go so may she be a wife for [the] son of master your just as he has spoken Yahweh.
52 Tajaajilaan Abrahaamis yommuu waan isaan jedhan dhagaʼetti lafatti gombifamee Waaqayyoof sagade.
And it was just as he heard [the] servant of Abraham words their and he bowed down [the] ground towards to Yahweh.
53 Kana booddees tajaajilaan sun faaya meetii fi warqee, uffata adda addaas baasee Ribqaadhaaf kenne; obboleessa isheetii fi haadha isheetiifis kennaa gatii guddaa baasu kenne.
And he brought out the servant articles of silver and articles of gold and garments and he gave [them] to Rebekah and precious gifts he gave to brother her and to mother her.
54 Innii fi namoonni isa wajjin turanis nyaatanii dhuganii achuma bulan. Yommuu isaan guyyaa itti aanu ganamaan kaʼanitti tajaajilaan sun, “Akka ani gara gooftaa kootti deebiʼuuf na geggeessaa” jedhe.
And they ate and they drank he and the men who [were] with him and they stayed [the] night and they arose in the morning and he said send away me to master my.
55 Obboleessi isheetii fi haati ishee garuu, “Intalattiin guyyuma kudhan illee nu bira haa turtu; ergasiis isheen deemuu dandeessi” jedhan.
And he said brother her and mother her let her remain the young woman with us days or ten (after *L(S)*) she will go.
56 Inni garuu, “Erga Waaqayyo karaa koo naa milkeessee isin na hin tursinaa; akka ani gara gooftaa kootti deebiʼuuf na geggeessaa” isaaniin jedhe.
And he said to them may not you delay me and Yahweh he has made successful journey my send away me so let me go to master my.
57 Isaanis, “Mee intalattii waamnee waan isheen jettu gaafanna” jedhan.
And they said let us summon the young woman and let us ask mouth her.
58 Kana irratti isaan Ribqaa waamanii, “Namicha kana wajjin deemuu feetaa?” jedhanii ishee gaafatan. Isheenis, “Ani nan deema” jette.
And they summoned Rebekah and they said to her ¿ will you go with the man this and she said I will go.
59 Kanaafuu isaan obboleettii isaanii Ribqaa fi guddiftuu ishee, tajaajilaa Abrahaamii fi namoota isaa wajjin geggeessan.
And they sent away Rebekah sister their and suckling-nurse her and [the] servant of Abraham and men his.
60 Isaanis akkana jedhanii Ribqaa eebbisan; “Yaa obboleettii keenya, kumaa kumaatama taʼi; sanyiin kee karra diinota isaa haa dhaalu.”
And they blessed Rebekah and they said to her O sister our you become thousands of ten thousand so may it take possession of offspring your [the] gate of [those who] hate it.
61 Ribqaa fi tajaajiltuuwwan ishee qophaaʼanii gaalawwan isaanii yaabbatanii namicha faana buʼan; namichis Ribqaa fudhatee deeme.
And she arose Rebekah and maids her and they rode on the camels and they went after the man and he took the servant Rebekah and he went.
62 Yeroo sana Yisihaaq boolla bishaanii Beʼeer Lahaayirooʼiitii dhufee Negeeb keessa jiraachaa ture.
And Isaac he came from going Beer Lahai Roi and he [was] dwelling in [the] land of the Negev.
63 Innis gaaf tokko gara galgalaa utuu bakkeetti baʼee waa yaadaa jiruu oli ilaalee kunoo gaalawwan dhufaa jiran arge.
And he went out Isaac to meditate in the field to [the] turning of evening and he lifted up eyes his and he saw and there! camels [were] coming.
64 Ribqaanis ol ilaaltee Yisihaaqin argite; gaala irraas buutee
And she lifted up Rebekah eyes her and she saw Isaac and she fell from on the camel.
65 tajaajilaa sanaan, “Namichi nu simachuuf bakkee keessa as deemaa jiru sun eenyu?” jettee gaafatte. Tajaajilaan sunis, “Inni gooftaa koo ti” jedhee deebiseef. Kanaafuu haguuggii ishee fudhattee ofitti haguugde.
And she said to the servant who? [is] the man this who is walking in the field to meet us and he said the servant it [is] master my and she took the veil and she covered herself.
66 Tajaajilaan sunis waan hojjete hunda Yisihaaqitti hime.
And he recounted the servant to Isaac all the things which he had done.
67 Yisihaaqis dunkaana haadha isaa Saaraatti ol ishee galfate; Ribqaa fuudhes. Akkasiin isheen niitii isaa taate; innis ishee jaallate; Yisihaaqis duʼa haadha isaa irraa ni jajjabaate.
And he brought her Isaac the tent of towards Sarah mother his and he took Rebekah and she became of him a wife and he loved her and he was comforted Isaac after mother his.
