Uumama 24
1 Yeroo sana Abrahaam dulloomee, umuriin isaa akka malee dheeratee ture; Waaqayyos waan hundumaan isa eebbise.
Abraham was olde and stryken in dayes and the LORde had blessed him in all thinges.
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 sayde vnto his eldest servaunte of his house which had the rule over all that he had: Put thy hande vnder my thye that
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;
I maye make the swere by the LORde that is God of heauen and God of the erth that thou shalt not take a wyfe vnto my sonne of the doughters of the canaanytes amonge which I dwell.
4 garuu gara biyya kootii fi gara firoota koo dhaqiitii ilma koo Yisihaaqiif niitii barbaadi.”
But shalt goo vnto my contre and to my kynred and there take a wyfe vnto my sonne 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.
Tha sayde the seruaunte vnto him: what ad yf the woma wyll not agree to come with me vnto this lade shall I brynge thy sonne agayne vnto the lande which thou camest out of:
6 Abrahaamis akkana isaan jedhe; “Ati akka ilma koo deebiftee biyya sanatti hin geessine of eeggadhu.
And Abraha sayde vnto him: bewarre of that that thou brige not my sonne thither.
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.
The LORde God of heauen which toke me from my fathers house and from the lande where I was borne and which spake vnto me and sware vnto me saynge: vnto thy seed wyll I geue this lande he shall sende his angell before the yt thou mayst take a wife vnto my sonne from thence.
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.”
Neuerthelesse yf the woma will not agree to come with the than shalt thou be with out daunger of this ooth. But aboue all thinge brynge not my sonne thyther agayne.
9 Kanaafuu tajaajilaan sun harka isaa gudeeda gooftaa isaa Abrahaam jala kaaʼee waaʼee waan kanaa kakateef.
And the seruaunte put his hand vnder the thye of Abraham and sware to him as concernynge that matter.
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 the seruaunte toke. x. camels of the camels of his master and departed and had of all maner goodes of his master with him and stode vp and went to Mesopotamia vnto the cytie 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 made his camels to lye doune with out the cytie by a wels syde of water at euen: aboute the tyme that women come out to drawe water
12 Innis akkana jedhee kadhate; “Yaa Waaqayyo Waaqa gooftaa koo Abrahaam, harʼa na milkeessiitii gooftaa koo Abrahaamiif garaa laafi.
and he sayde. LORde God of my master Abraha sende me good spede this daye and shewe mercy vnto my master Abraham.
13 Kunoo, ani burqaa kana bira dhaabadheen jira; intallan warra magaalaa kanaas bishaan waraabbachuuf as baʼaa jiru.
Lo I stonde here by the well of water and the doughters of the men of this citie will come out to drawe 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.”
Now the damsell to whome I saye stoupe doune thy pytcher and let me drynke. Yf she saye drynke and I will geue thy camels drynke also yt same is she that thou hast ordened for they servaunte Isaac: yee and therby shall I knowe that thou hast shewed mercy on my master.
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 came to passe yer he had leeft spakynge that Rebecca came out the doughter of Bethuell sonne to Melcha the wife of Nahor Abrahams brother and hir pytcher apon hir shulder:
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.
The damsell was very fayre to loke apon and yet a mayde and vnknowen of man. And she went doune to the well and fylled hyr pytcher and came vp agayne.
17 Tajaajilaan sunis ishee simachuuf itti fiigee, “Maaloo okkotee kee keessaa bishaan xinnoo ishee naa kenni” jedheen.
Then the seruaunte ranne vnto her and sayde: let me syppe a litle water of thi pither.
18 Isheenis, “Yaa gooftaa ko, dhugi” jetteenii daftee okkotee ishee harkatti gad buufattee bishaan dhugaatii kenniteef.
And she sayde: drynke my lorde. And she hasted and late downe her pytcher apon hyr arme and gaue him drinke.
19 Isheenis erga bishaan isa obaaftee booddee, “Ani gaalawwan keetiifis hamma isaan dhuganii dheebuu baʼanitti nan waraaba” jette.
And whe she had geven hym drynke she sayde: I will drawe water for thy camels also vntill they haue dronke ynough.
20 Daftees okkotee ishee keessaa bidiruutti garagalchitee ammas bishaan waraabuudhaaf gara boolla bishaaniitti fiigde; gaalawwan isaa hundaafis bishaan waraabde.
And she poured out hyr pitcher in to the trough hastely and ranne agayne vnto the well to fett water: and drewe for all his camels.
21 Namichi sunis akka Waaqayyo karaa isaaf milkeesse yookaan akka isaaf hin milkeessin baruuf jedhee calʼisee xiyyeeffatee ishee ilaalaa ture.
And the felowe wondred at her. But helde his peace to wete whether the LORde had made his iourney prosperous 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 as the camels had lefte drynckynge he toke an earynge of halfe a sicle weght and. ij golden bracelettes for hyr hades of. x. sycles weyght of gold
23 “Ati intala eenyuu ti? Yoo mana abbaa keetii iddoon bulan jiraatte maaloo mee natti himi” jedhee gaafate.
and sayde vnto her: whose doughter art thou? tell me: ys there rowme in thy fathers house for vs to lodge in?
24 Isheenis, “Ani intala Betuuʼeel; Betuuʼeel immoo ilma Miilkaan Naahooriif deessee dha” isaan jette.
And she sayde vnto him: I am the doughter of Bethuell the sonne of Milcha which she bare vnto Nahor:
25 Itti dabaltees, “Cidii fi okaa baayʼee qabna; kutaan isin bultanis jira” jetteen.
and sayde moreouer vnto him: we haue litter and prauonder ynough and also rowme to lodge in.
26 Namichis gad jedhee Waaqayyoof sagade;
And the man bowed himselfe and worshipped the LORde
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 sayde: blessed be the LORde God of my master Abraham which ceasseth not to deale mercyfully and truly with my master And hath brought me the waye to my masters brothers house.
28 Intalattiinis fiigdee dhaqxee warra mana haadha ishee jiranitti waaʼee waan kanaa himte.
And the damsell ranne and tolde them of her mothers house these thinges.
29 Ribqaan obboleessa Laabaa jedhamu tokko qabdi turte; Laabaanis fiigee namicha burqaa bishaanii bira jiru sana bira dhaqe.
And Rebecca had a brother called Laban. And Laban ranne out vnto the man to the well:
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.
for as soone as he had sene the earynges and the bracelettes apon his sisters handes ad herde the wordes of Rebecca his sister saynge thus sayde the man vnto me than he went out vnto the man. And loo he stode yet with the camels by the well syde.
31 Namicha sanaanis, “Yaa namicha Waaqayyo eebbise, kottu; ati maaliif ala dhaabatta? Ani manicha qopheesseera; gaalawwaniifis iddoo qopheesseera” jedhe.
And Laban sayde: come in thou blessed of the LORde. Wherfore stondest thou without? I haue dressed the house and made rowme 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 than the ma came in to the house. And he vnbrydeld the camels: and brought litter and prauonder for the camels and water to weshe his fete and their fete that were with him
33 Ergasiis nyaanni dhiʼaateef; namichi sun garuu, “Ani hamman dhimma koo himadhutti hin nyaadhu” jedhe. Laabaanis, “Himadhukaa” jedheen.
and there was meate sett before him to eate. But he sayde: I will not eate vntill I haue sayde myne earede: And he sayde saye on.
34 Innis akkana jedhe; “Ani tajaajilaa Abrahaamii ti.
And he sayde: I am Abrahas servaunte
35 Waaqayyo, gooftaa koo guddaa eebbiseera; innis sooromeera. Hoolotaa fi loowwan, meetii fi warqee, garboota dhiiraatii fi dubartii, gaalawwanii fi harroota isaaf kenneera.
and the LORDE hath blessed my master out of measure that he is become greate and hath geven him shepe oxen syluer and golde menservauntes maydeservauntes camels ad asses.
36 Niitiin gooftaa kootii Saaraan bara dulluma ishee keessa ilma isaaf deesse; innis waan qabu hunda ilma isaatiif kenneera.
And Sara my masters wyfe bare him a sonne whe she was olde: and vnto him hath he geven all that he hath.
37 Gooftaan koo akkana jedhee na kakachiise; ‘Ati intallan Kanaʼaan kanneen ani biyya isaanii keessa jiraadhu keessaa ilma koof niitii hin fidin;
And my master made me swere saynge: Thou shalt not take a wyfe to my sonne amonge the doughters of the cananytes in whose lade I dwell.
38 garuu gara mana abbaa kootii fi gara gosa koo dhaqiitii ilma kootiif niitii fidi.’
But thou shalt goo vnto my fathers house and to my kynred and there take a wyfe vnto my sonne.
39 “Anis, ‘Yoo dubartiin sun na wajjin dhufuuf fedhii qabaachuu baattee hoo?’ jedhee gooftaa koo nan gaafadhe.
And I sayde vnto my master. What yf the wyfe will not folowe 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 sayde vnto me: The LORde before whome I walke wyll sende his angell with the and prosper thy iourney that thou shalt take a wyfe for my sonne of my kynred and of my fathers house.
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.’
But and yf (when thou comest vnto my kynred) they will not geue the one tha shalt thou bere no perell of myne oothe.
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 daye vnto the well and sayed: O LORde the God of my master Abraha yf it be so that thou makest my iourney which I go prosperous:
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,
beholde I stode by this well of water And when a virgyn cometh forth to drawe water and I saye to her: geue me a litle water of thi pitcher to drynke
44 isheenis, “Dhugi; ani gaalawwan keetiifis nan waraaba” naan jette, isheen kan Waaqayyo ilma gooftaa kootiif file haa taatu.’
and she saye agayne to me: dryncke thou and I will also drawe water for thy camels: that same is the wife whom the LORde hath prepared for my masters sonne.
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.
And before I had made an ende of speakynge in myne harte: beholde Rebecca came forth and hir pitcher on hir shulder and she went doune vnto the well and drewe. And I sayde vnto her geue me drynke.
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 made hast and toke doune hir pitcher from of hir ad sayd: drinke and I will geue thy camels drynke also. And I dranke and she gaue the camels drynke also.
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 saynge: whose doughter art thou? And she answered: the doughter of Bathuell Nahors sonne whome Milca bare vnto him. And I put the earynge vpon hir face and the bracelettes apon hir hondes.
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 my selfe and worshepped the LORde and blessed the LORde God of my master Abraha which had brought me the right waye to take my masters brothers doughter vnto his sonne.
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.”
Now therfore yf ye will deall mercyfully and truly with my master tell me. And yf no tell me also: that I maye turne me to the right hande or to the left.
50 Laabaa fi Betuuʼeelis akkana jedhanii deebisan; “Wanni kun Waaqayyo biraa dhufe; nu waan hamaa yookaan waan tolaa sitti dubbachuu hin dandeenyu.
Than answered Laban and Bathuel saynge: The thinge is proceded even out of the lorde we can not therfore saye vnto the ether good or bad:
51 Kunoo, Ribqaan fuula kee dura jirti; ishee fudhadhuu deemi; isheenis akkuma Waaqayyo dubbatetti niitii ilma gooftaa keetii haa taatu.”
Beholde Rebecca before thy face take her and goo and let her be thy masters sonnes wife euen as the LORde hath sayde.
52 Tajaajilaan Abrahaamis yommuu waan isaan jedhan dhagaʼetti lafatti gombifamee Waaqayyoof sagade.
And whe Abrahams servaunte herde their wordes he bowed him selfe vnto the LORde flatt vpon the erth.
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 the servaunte toke forth iewells of syluer and iewelles of gold and rayment and gaue them to Rebecca: But vnto hir brother and to hir mother he gaue spyces.
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 then they ate and dranke both he and the men that were with him and taried all nyghte and rose vp in the mornynge. And he sayde: let me departe vnto my master.
55 Obboleessi isheetii fi haati ishee garuu, “Intalattiin guyyuma kudhan illee nu bira haa turtu; ergasiis isheen deemuu dandeessi” jedhan.
But hir brother and hir mother sayde: let the damsell abyde with vs a while ad it be but even. x. dayes and than goo thy wayes.
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 sayde vnto them hinder me not: for the lorde hath prospered my iourney. Sende me awaye yt I maye goo vnto my master.
57 Isaanis, “Mee intalattii waamnee waan isheen jettu gaafanna” jedhan.
And they sayde: let vs call the damsell and witt what she sayth to the matter.
58 Kana irratti isaan Ribqaa waamanii, “Namicha kana wajjin deemuu feetaa?” jedhanii ishee gaafatan. Isheenis, “Ani nan deema” jette.
And they called forth Rebecca ad sayde vnto her: wilt thou goo with this ma? And she sayde: Yee.
59 Kanaafuu isaan obboleettii isaanii Ribqaa fi guddiftuu ishee, tajaajilaa Abrahaamii fi namoota isaa wajjin geggeessan.
Than they broughte Rebecca their sister on the waye and her norse and Abrahas servaunte and the men that were wyth him.
60 Isaanis akkana jedhanii Ribqaa eebbisan; “Yaa obboleettii keenya, kumaa kumaatama taʼi; sanyiin kee karra diinota isaa haa dhaalu.”
And they blessed Rebecca and sayde vnto her: Thou art oure sister growe in to thousande thousandes and thy seed possesse ye gates of their emnies.
61 Ribqaa fi tajaajiltuuwwan ishee qophaaʼanii gaalawwan isaanii yaabbatanii namicha faana buʼan; namichis Ribqaa fudhatee deeme.
And Rebecca arose and hir damsels and satt the vp apo the camels and went their waye after the man. And ye servaunte toke Rebecca and went his waye
62 Yeroo sana Yisihaaq boolla bishaanii Beʼeer Lahaayirooʼiitii dhufee Negeeb keessa jiraachaa ture.
And Isaac was a comige from the well of ye lyvynge and seynge for he dwelt in the south cotre
63 Innis gaaf tokko gara galgalaa utuu bakkeetti baʼee waa yaadaa jiruu oli ilaalee kunoo gaalawwan dhufaa jiran arge.
and was gone out to walke in his meditatios before ye eue tyde. And he lyfte vp his eyes and loked and beholde ye camels were cominge.
64 Ribqaanis ol ilaaltee Yisihaaqin argite; gaala irraas buutee
And Rebecca lyfte vp hir eyes and whe she sawe Isaac she lyghted of 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.
ad sayde vnto ye servaunte: what ma is this yt cometh agenst vs in the feld? And the servaute sayde: it is my master. And then she toke hir mantell ad put it aboute her.
66 Tajaajilaan sunis waan hojjete hunda Yisihaaqitti hime.
And the servaute tolde Isaac all that 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.
The Isaac broughte her in to his mother Saras tente ad toke Rebecca and she became his wife and he loved her: and so was Isaac coforted over his mother.
