Gênesis 24
1 E era Abrahão já velho e adiantado em edade, e o Senhor havia abençoado a Abrahão em tudo.
And Abraam was old, advanced in days, and the Lord blessed Abraam in all things.
2 E disse Abrahão ao seu servo, o mais velho da casa, que tinha o governo sobre tudo o que possuia: Põe agora a tua mão debaixo da minha coxa,
And Abraam said to his servant the elder of his house, who had rule over all his possessions, Put your hand under my thigh,
3 Para que eu te faça jurar pelo Senhor Deus dos céus e Deus da terra, que não tomarás para meu filho mulher das filhas dos cananeos no meio dos quaes eu habito,
and I will adjure you by the Lord the God of heaven, and the God of the earth, that you take not a wife for my son Isaac from the daughters of the Chananites, with whom I dwell, in the midst of them.
4 Mas que irás á minha terra e á minha parentela, e d'ahi tomarás mulher para meu filho Isaac.
But you shall go instead to my country, where I was born, and to my tribe, and you shall take from thence a wife for my son Isaac.
5 E disse-lhe o servo: Porventura não quererá seguir-me a mulher a esta terra. Farei pois tornar o teu filho á terra d'onde saiste?
And the servant said to him, Shall I carry back your son to the land whence you came forth, if haply the woman should not be willing to return with me to this land?
6 E Abrahão lhe disse: Guarda-te, que não faças lá tornar o meu filho.
And Abraam said to him, Take heed to yourself that you carry not my son back there.
7 O Senhor, Deus dos céus, que me tomou da casa de meu pae e da terra da minha parentela, e que me fallou, e que me jurou, dizendo: Á tua semente darei esta terra: Elle enviará o seu anjo adiante da tua face, para que tomes mulher de lá para meu filho.
The Lord the God of heaven, and the God of the earth, who took me out of my father's house, and out of the land whence I sprang, who spoke to me, and who swore to me, saying, I will give this land to you and to your seed, he shall send his angel before you, and you shall take a wife to my son from thence.
8 Se a mulher, porém, não quizer seguir-te, serás livre d'este meu juramento; sómente não faças lá tornar a meu filho.
And if the woman should not be willing to come with you into this land, you shall be clear from my oath, only carry not my son there again.
9 Então poz o servo a sua mão debaixo da coxa de Abrahão seu senhor, e jurou-lhe sobre este negocio.
And the servant put his hand under the thigh of his master Abraam, and swore to him concerning this matter.
10 E o servo tomou dez camelos, dos camelos do seu senhor, e partiu, pois que toda a fazenda de seu senhor estava em sua mão, e levantou-se e partiu para Mesopotamia, para a cidade de Nahor,
And the servant took ten camels of his master's camels, and [he took] of all the goods of his master with him, and he arose and went into Mesopotamia to the city of Nachor.
11 E fez ajoelhar os camelos fóra da cidade, junto a um poço d'agua, pela tarde, ao tempo que as moças sahiam a tirar agua.
And he rested his camels without the city by the well of water towards evening, when damsels go forth to draw water.
12 E disse: Ó Senhor, Deus de meu senhor Abrahão! dá-me hoje bom encontro, e faze beneficencia ao meu senhor Abrahão!
And he said, O Lord God of my master Abraam, prosper my way before me to day, and deal mercifully with my master Abraam.
13 Eis que eu estou em pé junto á fonte d'agua, e as filhas dous varões d'esta cidade saem para tirar agua;
Behold! I stand by the well of water, and the daughters of them that inhabit the city come forth to draw water.
14 Seja pois que a donzella, a quem eu disser: Abaixa agora o teu cantaro para que eu beba; e ella disser: Bebe, e tambem darei de beber aos teus camelos; esta seja a quem designaste ao teu servo Isaac, e que eu conheça n'isso que fizeste beneficencia a meu senhor.
And it shall be, the virgin to whoever I shall say, Incline your water-pot, that I may drink, and she shall say, Drink you, and I will give your camels drink, until they shall have done drinking—even this one you have prepared for your servant Isaac, and hereby shall I know that you have dealt mercifully with my master Abraam.
15 E succedeu que, antes que elle acabasse de fallar, eis que Rebecca, que havia nascido a Bethuel, filho de Milcah, mulher de Nahor, irmão de Abrahão, sahia com o seu cantaro sobre o seu hombro.
And it came to pass before he had done speaking in his mind, that behold, Rebecca the daughter of Bathuel, the son of Melcha, the wife of Nachor, and [the same] the brother of Abraam, came forth, having a water-pot on her shoulders.
16 E a donzella era mui formosa á vista, virgem, a quem varão não havia conhecido: e desceu á fonte, e encheu o seu cantaro, e subiu.
And the virgin was very beautiful in appearance, she was a virgin, a man had not known her; and she went down to the well, and filled her water-pot, and came up.
17 Então o servo correu-lhe ao encontro, e disse: Ora deixa-me beber uma pouca d'agua do teu cantaro.
And the servant ran up to meet her, and said, Give me a little water to drink out of your pitcher;
18 E ella disse: Bebe, meu senhor. E apressou-se, e abaixou o seu cantaro sobre a sua mão, e deu-lhe de beber.
and she said, Drink, Sir; and she hasted, and let down the pitcher upon her arm, and gave him to drink, till he ceased drinking.
19 E, acabando ella de lhe dar de beber, disse: Tirarei tambem agua para os teus camelos, até que acabem de beber.
And she said, I will also draw water for your camels, till they shall all have drunk.
20 E apressou-se, e vasou o seu cantaro na pia, e correu outra vez ao poço para tirar agua, e tirou para todos os seus camelos.
And she hasted, and emptied the water-pot into the trough, and ran to the well to draw again, and drew water for all the camels.
21 E o varão estava admirado de vel-a, calando-se, para saber se o Senhor havia prosperado a sua jornada, ou não.
And the man took great notice of her, and remained silent to know whether the Lord had made his way prosperous or not.
22 E aconteceu que, acabando os camelos de beber, tomou o varão um pendente de oiro de meio siclo de peso, e duas pulseiras para as suas mãos, do peso de dez siclos de oiro.
And it came to pass when all the camels ceased drinking, that the man took golden ear-rings, each of a drachm weight, and he [put] two bracelets on her hands, their weight was ten pieces of gold.
23 E disse: De quem és filha? faze-m'o saber, peço-te; ha tambem em casa de teu pae logar para nós pousarmos?
And he asked her, and said, Whose daughter are you? Tell me if there is room for us to lodge with your father.
24 E ella lhe disse: Eu sou a filha de Bethuel, filho de Milcah, o qual ella pariu a Nahor.
And she said to him, I am the daughter of Bathuel the son of Melcha, whom she bore to Nachor.
25 Disse-lhe mais: Tambem temos palha e muito pasto, e logar para passar a noite.
And she said to him, We have both straw and much provender, and a place for resting.
26 Então inclinou-se aquelle varão, e adorou ao Senhor,
And the man being well pleased, worshipped the Lord,
27 E disse: Bemdito seja o Senhor Deus de meu senhor Abrahão, que não retirou a sua beneficencia e a sua verdade de meu senhor: quanto a mim, o Senhor me guiou no caminho á casa dos irmãos de meu senhor.
and said, Blessed be the Lord the God of my master Abraam, who has not suffered his righteousness to fail, nor his truth from my master, and the Lord has brought me prosperously to the house of the brother of my lord.
28 E a donzella correu, e fez saber estas coisas na casa de sua mãe.
And the damsel ran and reported to the house of her mother according to these words.
29 E Rebecca tinha um irmão, cujo nome era Labão; e Labão correu ao encontro d'aquelle varão á fonte.
And Rebecca had a brother whose name was Laban; and Laban ran out to meet the man, to the well.
30 E aconteceu que, quando elle viu o pendente, e as pulseiras sobre as mãos de sua irmã, e quando ouviu as palavras de sua irmã Rebecca, que dizia: Assim me fallou aquelle varão; veiu o varão, e eis que estava em pé junto aos camelos á fonte.
And it came to pass when he saw the ear-rings and the bracelets on the hands of his sister, and when he heard the words of Rebecca his sister, saying, Thus the man spoke to me, that he went to the man, as he stood by the camels at the well.
31 E disse: Entra, bemdito do Senhor, porque estarás fóra? pois eu já preparei a casa, e o logar para os camelos.
And he said to him, Come in hither, you blessed of the Lord, why stand you without, whereas I have prepared the house and a place for the camels?
32 Então veiu aquelle varão á casa, e desataram os camelos, e deram palha e pasto aos camelos, e agua para lavar os pés d'elle e os pés dos varões que estavam com elle.
And the man entered into the house, and unloaded the camels, and gave the camels straw and provender, and water to wash his feet, and the feet of the men that were with him.
33 Depois pozeram de comer diante d'elle; elle porém disse: Não comerei, até que tenha dito as minhas palavras. E elle disse: Falla.
And he set before them loaves to eat; but he said, I will not eat, until I have told my errand. And he said, Speak on.
34 Então disse: Eu sou o servo d'Abrahão.
And he said, I am a servant of Abraam;
35 E o Senhor abençoou muito o meu senhor, de maneira que foi engrandecido, e deu-lhe ovelhas e vaccas, e prata e oiro, e servos e servas, e camelos e jumentos.
and the Lord has blessed my master greatly, and he is exalted, and he has given him sheep, and calves, and silver, and gold, servants and servant-maids, camels, and asses.
36 E Sarah, a mulher do meu senhor, pariu um filho a meu senhor depois da sua velhice, e elle deu-lhe tudo quanto tem.
And Sarrha my master's wife bore one son to my master after he had grown old; and he gave him whatever he had.
37 E meu senhor me fez jurar, dizendo: Não tomarás mulher para meu filho das filhas dos cananeos, em cuja terra habito:
And my master caused me to swear, saying, You shall not take a wife to my son of the daughters of the Chananites, amongst whom I sojourn in their land.
38 Irás porém á casa de meu pae, e á minha familia, e tomarás mulher para meu filho.
But you shall go to the house of my father, and to my tribe, and you shall take thence a wife for my son.
39 Então disse eu ao meu senhor: Porventura não me seguirá a mulher.
And I said to my master, Haply the woman will not go with me.
40 E elle me disse: O Senhor, em cuja presença tenho andado, enviará o seu anjo comtigo, e prosperará o teu caminho, para que tomes mulher para meu filho da minha familia e da casa de meu pae:
And he said to me, The Lord God to whom I have been acceptable in his presence, himself shall send out his angel with you, and shall prosper your journey, and you shall take a wife for my son of my tribe, and of the house of my father.
41 Então serás livre do meu juramento, quando fores á minha familia; e se não t'a derem, livre serás do meu juramento.
Then shall you be clear from my curse, for whenever you shall have come to my tribe, and they shall not give her to you, then shall you be clear from my oath.
42 E hoje cheguei á fonte, e disse: Ó Senhor, Deus de meu senhor Abrahão! se tu agora prosperas o meu caminho, no qual eu ando,
And having come this day to the well, I said, Lord God of my master Abraam, if you prosper my journey on which I am now going,
43 Eis que estou junto á fonte d'agua: seja pois que a donzella que sair para tirar agua e á qual eu disser: Ora dá-me uma pouca d'agua do teu cantaro;
behold, I stand by the well of water, and the daughters of the men of the city come forth to draw water, and it shall be [that] the damsel to whom I shall say, Give me a little water to drink out of your pitcher,
44 E ella me disser: Bebe tu tambem, e tambem tirarei agua para os teus camelos; esta seja a mulher que o Senhor designou ao filho de meu senhor.
and she shall say to me, Both drink you, and I will draw water for your camels, this [shall be] the wife whom the Lord has prepared for his own servant Isaac; and hereby shall I know that you have wrought mercy with my master Abraam.
45 E antes que eu acabasse de fallar no meu coração, eis que Rebecca sahia com o seu cantaro sobre o seu hombro, e desceu á fonte, e tirou agua; e eu lhe disse: Ora dá-me de beber.
And it came to pass before I had done speaking in my mind, straightway Rebecca came forth, having her pitcher on her shoulders; and she went down to the well, and drew water; and I said to her, Give me to drink.
46 E ella se apressou, e abaixou o seu cantaro de sobre si, e disse: Bebe, e tambem darei de beber aos teus camelos; e bebi, e ella deu tambem de beber aos camelos.
And she hasted and let down her pitcher on her arm from her head, and said, Drink you, and I will give your camels drink; and I drank, and she gave the camels drink.
47 Então lhe perguntei, e disse: De quem és filha? E ella disse: Filha de Bethuel, filho de Nahor, que lhe pariu Milcah. Então eu puz o pendente no seu rosto, e as pulseiras sobre as suas mãos;
And I asked her, and said, Whose daughter are you? tell me; and she said, I am daughter of Bathuel the son of Nachor, whom Melcha bore to him; and I put on her the ear-rings, and the bracelets on her hands.
48 E inclinando-me adorei ao Senhor, e bemdisse ao Senhor, Deus do meu senhor Abrahão, que me havia encaminhado pelo caminho da verdade, para tomar a filha do irmão de meu senhor para seu filho.
And being well-pleased I worshipped the Lord, and I blessed the Lord the God of my master Abraam, who has prospered me in a true way, so that I should take the daughter of my master's brother for his son.
49 Agora pois, se vós haveis de fazer beneficencia e verdade a meu senhor, fazei-m'o saber; e se não tambem m'o fazei saber, para que eu olhe á mão direita, ou á esquerda.
If then you [will] deal mercifully and justly with my lord, [tell me], and if not, tell me, that I may turn to the right hand or to the left.
50 Então responderam Labão e Bethuel, e disseram: Do Senhor procedeu este negocio; não podemos fallar-te mal ou bem.
And Laban and Bathuel answered and said, This matter has come forth from the Lord, we shall not be able to answer you bad or good.
51 Eis que, Rebecca está diante da tua face; toma-a, e vae-te; seja a mulher do filho de teu senhor, como tem dito o Senhor.
Behold, Rebecca is before you, take her and go away, and let her be wife to the son of your master, as the Lord has said.
52 E aconteceu que, o servo de Abrahão, ouvindo as suas palavras, inclinou-se á terra diante do Senhor,
And it came to pass when the servant of Abraam heard these words, he bowed himself to the Lord down to the earth.
53 E tirou o servo vasos de prata e vasos de oiro, e vestidos, e deu-os a Rebecca; tambem deu coisas preciosas a seu irmão e a sua mãe.
And the servant having brought forth jewels of silver and gold and raiment, gave them to Rebecca, and gave gifts to her brother, and to her mother.
54 Então comeram e beberam, elle e os varões que com elle estavam, e passaram a noite. E levantaram-se pela manhã, e disse: Deixae-me ir a meu senhor.
And both he and the men with him ate and drank and went to sleep. And he arose in the morning and said, Send me away, that I may go to my master.
55 Então disseram seu irmão e sua mãe: Fique a donzella comnosco alguns dias, ou pelo menos dez dias, depois irá.
And her brethren and her mother said, Let the virgin remain with us about ten days, and after that she shall depart.
56 Elle porém lhes disse: Não me detenhaes, pois o Senhor tem prosperado o meu caminho; deixae-me partir, que eu volte a meu senhor.
But he said to them, Hinder me not, for the Lord has prospered my journey for me; send me away, that I may depart to my master.
57 E disseram: Chamemos a donzella, e perguntemos-lh'o.
And they said, Let us call the damsel, and enquire at her mouth.
58 E chamaram a Rebecca, e disseram-lhe: Irás tu com este varão? Ella respondeu: Irei.
And they called Rebecca, and said to her, Will you go with this man? and she said, I will go.
59 Então despediram a Rebecca sua irmã, e sua ama, e o servo de Abrahão, e seus varões
So they sent forth Rebecca their sister, and her goods, and the servant of Abraam, and his attendants.
60 E abençoaram a Rebecca, e disseram-lhe: O nossa irmã, sejas tu em milhares de milhares, e que a tua semente possua a porta de seus aborrecedores!
And they blessed Rebecca, and said to her, You are our sister; become you thousands of myriads, and let your seed possess the cities of their enemies.
61 E Rebecca se levantou com as suas moças, e subiram sobre os camelos, e seguiram o varão: e tomou aquelle servo a Rebecca, e partiu.
And Rebecca rose up and her maidens, and they mounted the camels and went with the man; and the servant having taken up Rebecca, departed.
62 Ora Isaac vinha d'onde se vem do poço de Lahai-roi; porque habitava na terra do sul.
And Isaac went through the wilderness to the well of the vision, and he lived in the land towards the south.
63 E Isaac saira a orar no campo, sobre a tarde: e levantou os seus olhos, e olhou, e eis que os camelos vinham.
And Isaac went forth into the plain towards evening to meditate; and having lifted up his eyes, he saw camels coming.
64 Rebecca tambem levantou seus olhos, e viu a Isaac, e lançou-se do camelo.
And Rebecca lifted up her eyes, and saw Isaac; and she alighted briskly from the camel,
65 E disse ao servo: Quem é aquelle varão que vem pelo campo ao nosso encontro? E o servo disse: Este é meu senhor. Então tomou ella o véu, e cobriu-se.
and said to the servant, Who is that man that walks in the plain to meet us? And the servant said, This is my master; and she took her veil and covered herself.
66 E o servo contou a Isaac todas as coisas que fizera.
And the servant told Isaac all that he had done.
67 E Isaac trouxe-a para a tenda de sua mãe Sarah, e tomou a Rebecca, e foi-lhe por mulher, e amou-a. Assim Isaac foi consolado depois da morte de sua mãe.
And Isaac went into the house of his mother, and took Rebecca, and she became his wife, and he loved her; and Isaac was comforted for Sarrha his mother.
