Bilowgii 24
1 Ibraahimna waa da' weynaa, gabow buuna la dhacay. Rabbiguna Ibraahim buu ku barakeeyey wax walba.
By now Abraham was old and well along in years, and the LORD had blessed him in every way.
2 Oo Ibraahim, wuxuu ku yidhi addoonkiisii oo dadka gurigiisa ugu weynaa, oo u talin jiray wixii uu lahaa oo dhan, Waan ku baryayaaye gacantaada bowdadayda hoos dhig.
So Abraham instructed the chief servant of his household, who managed all he owned, “Place your hand under my thigh,
3 Oo waxaan kugu dhaarin doonaa Rabbiga ah Ilaaha samada iyo Ilaaha dhulka inaadan wiilkayga naag uga guurinayn gabdhaha reer Kancaanka aan dhex degganahay:
and I will have you swear by the LORD, the God of heaven and the God of earth, that you will not take a wife for my son from the daughters of the Canaanites among whom I am dwelling,
4 laakiin waxaad u kacdaa dalkaygii iyo xigaalkaygii, oo waxaad naag uga keentaa wiilkayga Isxaaq.
but will go to my country and my kindred to take a wife for my son Isaac.”
5 Addoonkiina wuxuu ku yidhi, Waxaa laga yaabaa inaanay naagtu oggolaan inay ii soo raacdo dalkan; ma inaan wiilkaaga ku celiyo dalkii aad ka timid baa?
The servant asked him, “What if the woman is unwilling to follow me to this land? Shall I then take your son back to the land from which you came?”
6 Ibraahimna wuxuu ku yidhi isagii, Iska jir oo wiilkayga meeshaas ha ku celin.
Abraham replied, “Make sure that you do not take my son back there.
7 Rabbiga Ilaaha samada ah, oo iga soo kaxeeyey gurigii aabbahay iyo dalkaygii aan ku dhashay, oo ila hadlay, iiguna dhaartay, isagoo leh, Farcankaaga ayaan dalkan siinayaa, ayaa malaa'igtiisa kaa sii hor diri doona, wiilkaygana naag baad halkaas uga soo guurin doontaa.
The LORD, the God of heaven, who brought me from my father’s house and my native land, who spoke to me and promised me on oath, saying, ‘To your offspring I will give this land’—He will send His angel before you so that you can take a wife for my son from there.
8 Haddii naagtu aanay oggolaan inay ku soo raacdo, markaas dhaartaydan waxba kaa ma saarna, laakiin wiilkayga halkaas ha ku celin.
And if the woman is unwilling to follow you, then you are released from this oath of mine. Only do not take my son back there.”
9 Addoonkii wuxuu gacantiisii hoos dhigay bowdadii sayidkiisii Ibraahim, wuxuuna ugu dhaartay wax arrintan ku saabsan.
So the servant placed his hand under the thigh of his master Abraham and swore an oath to him concerning this matter.
10 Addoonkiina wuxuu kaxeeyey toban awr, oo ka mid ah awrtii sayidkiisa, wuuna tegey, isagoo gacantiisa ku haya waxyaalihii sayidkiisa oo wanaagsanaa oo dhan, oo intuu kacay ayuu tegey Mesobotamiya, xagga magaalada Naaxoor.
Then the servant took ten of his master’s camels and departed with all manner of good things from his master in hand. And he set out for Nahor’s hometown in Aram-naharaim.
11 Awrtiina wuxuu tu'iyey meel magaalada dibaddeeda ah oo ceelka biyaha agtiisa ah kolkay galabtii ahayd, marka dumarku biyo dhaansiga u soo baxaan.
As evening approached, he made the camels kneel down near the well outside the town at the time when the women went out to draw water.
12 Oo wuxuu yidhi, Rabbiyow, sayidkayga Ibraahim Ilaahiisow, waan ku baryayaaye, maanta i liibaani, sayidkayga Ibraahimna u roonow.
“O LORD, God of my master Abraham,” he prayed, “please grant me success today, and show kindness to my master Abraham.
13 Bal eeg, waxaan ag taaganahay isha biyaha ah, gabdhaha dadka magaaladuna waxay u soo baxayaan inay biyo dhaansadaan.
Here I am, standing beside the spring, and the daughters of the townspeople are coming out to draw water.
14 Gabadhii aan ku odhan doono, Ashuunkaaga deji, waan ku baryayaaye, aan ka cabbee, oo igu odhan doonta, Cab, awrtaadana waan waraabin doonaa, taasu ha noqoto tii aad u dooratay addoonkaaga Isxaaq, oo taas baan ku ogaan doonaa inaad sayidkayga u roonaatay.
Now may it happen that the girl to whom I say, ‘Please let down your jar that I may drink,’ and who responds, ‘Drink, and I will water your camels as well’—let her be the one You have appointed for Your servant Isaac. By this I will know that You have shown kindness to my master.”
15 Intuusan hadalkii dhammayn, waxaa soo baxday, iyadoo ashuunkeedii garabka ku sidata, Rebeqah oo u dhalatay Betuu'el wiilkii Milkah, oo ahayd naagtii Naaxoorkii ahaa Ibraahim walaalkiis.
Before the servant had finished praying, Rebekah came out with her jar on her shoulder. She was the daughter of Bethuel son of Milcah, the wife of Abraham’s brother Nahor.
16 Gabadhuna waa suurad quruxsanayd, waxayna ahayd bikrad aan ninna u tegin. Waxay tagtay ishii biyaha ahayd xaggeeda, oo intay ashuunkeedii soo buuxsatay, ayay soo baxday.
Now the girl was very beautiful, a virgin who had not had relations with any man. She went down to the spring, filled her jar, and came up again.
17 Markaasuu addoonkii ku orday inuu ka hor tago oo wuxuu ku yidhi, Ashuunkaaga iga waraabi in yar oo biyo ah, waan ku baryayaaye.
So the servant ran to meet her and said, “Please let me have a little water from your jar.”
18 Markaasay tidhi, Cab, sayidkaygiiyow. Oo intay dhaqsatay ayay ashuunkeedii dejisay oo gacanta ku qabatay, wayna waraabisay.
“Drink, my lord,” she replied, and she quickly lowered her jar to her hands and gave him a drink.
19 Oo markii ay waraabisay ka dib ayay ku tidhi, Awrtaadana waan u dhaamin doonaa, ilaa ay wabxaan.
After she had given him a drink, she said, “I will also draw water for your camels, until they have had enough to drink.”
20 Oo intay dhaqsatay ayay biyihii ashuunkeedii ku shubtay berkeddii, oo mar kalay ceelkii ku orodday inay soo dhaamiso, wayna u dhaamisay awrtiisii oo dhan.
And she quickly emptied her jar into the trough and ran back to the well to draw water, until she had drawn water for all his camels.
21 Ninkiina aad buu u fiiriyey iyada, isagoo aamusan, inuu ogaado in Rabbigu ku liibaaniyey sodcaalkiisii iyo in kale.
Meanwhile, the man watched her silently to see whether or not the LORD had made his journey a success.
22 Markii awrtii cabtay ka dib ayaa ninkii soo qaaday sangelis dahab ah oo miisaankiisu yahay nus sheqel, gacmaheedana wuxuu u soo qaaday laba dugaagadood oo dahab ah oo miisaankoodu yahay toban sheqel.
And after the camels had finished drinking, he took out a gold ring weighing a beka, and two gold bracelets for her wrists weighing ten shekels.
23 Oo wuxuu ku yidhi, Ina ayaad tahay? Waan ku baryayaaye, ii sheeg. Guriga aabbahaa meel aannu ku hoyanno ma leeyahay?
“Whose daughter are you?” he asked. “Please tell me, is there room in your father’s house for us to spend the night?”
24 Oo waxay ku tidhi isagii, Anigu waxaan ahay ina Betuu'el, wiilkii Milkah ay Naaxoor u dhashay.
She replied, “I am the daughter of Bethuel, the son that Milcah bore to Nahor.”
25 Oo weliba waxa kale oo ay ku tidhi, Caws iyo cunto badanba waannu haysannaa, iyo meel lagu hoydo.
Then she added, “We have plenty of straw and feed, as well as a place for you to spend the night.”
26 Markaasaa ninkii madaxa foororiyey oo Rabbiga caabuday.
Then the man bowed down and worshiped the LORD,
27 Markaasuu yidhi, Mahad waxaa leh Rabbiga ah sayidkayga Ibraahim Ilaahiisa, oo aan naxariistiisa iyo runtiisa ka joojin sayidkayga. Anigana Rabbigu jidkuu igu soo hoggaamiyey, oo wuxuu i keenay gurigii sayidkayga walaalihiis.
saying, “Blessed be the LORD, the God of my master Abraham, who has not withheld His kindness and faithfulness from my master. As for me, the LORD has led me on the journey to the house of my master’s relatives.”
28 Gabadhiina intay orodday ayay waxyaalahan dadkii guriga hooyadeed uga warrantay.
The girl ran and told her mother’s household about these things.
29 Rebeqahna waxay lahayd walaal magiciisa la yidhaahdo Laabaan. Markaasaa Laabaan dibadda u baxay oo wuxuu ku orday ninkii isha joogay.
Now Rebekah had a brother named Laban, and he rushed out to the man at the spring.
30 Markuu arkay sangeliskii, iyo dugaagadihii gacmihii walaashiis ku jiray, oo uu maqlay hadalkii walaashiis Rebeqah, iyadoo leh, Sidan buu ninkii iila hadlay, ayuu u yimid ninkii oo bal eeg, wuxuu ag istaagay awrtii isha joogtay.
As soon as he saw the ring, and the bracelets on his sister’s wrists, and heard Rebekah’s words, “The man said this to me,” he went and found the man standing by the camels near the spring.
31 Oo wuxuu ku yidhi, Kaaga Rabbigu barakeeyeyow, soo gal, maxaad dibadda u taagan tahay? Gurigii waan soo hagaajiyey, awrtana meel baan u diyaariyey.
“Come, you who are blessed by the LORD,” said Laban. “Why are you standing out here? I have prepared the house and a place for the camels.”
32 Ninkiina gurigii buu soo galay, awrtiina wuu furay, wuxuuna isaga awrtii ugu dhiibay caws iyo cunto, biyona wuu siiyey inay ku cago maydhaan isaga iyo raggii la socdayba.
So the man came to the house, and the camels were unloaded. Straw and feed were brought to the camels, and water to wash his feet and the feet of his companions.
33 Cuntona waa la hor dhigay inuu cuno: laakiinse wuxuu yidhi, Cuni maayo ilaa aan sheego farriintayda. Kolkaasuu yidhi, Sheeg.
Then a meal was set before the man, but he said, “I will not eat until I have told you what I came to say.” So Laban said, “Please speak.”
34 Markaasuu yidhi, Waxaan ahay Ibraahim addoonkiisa.
“I am Abraham’s servant,” he replied.
35 Rabbigu aad iyo aad buu u barakeeyey sayidkayga, wuuna weynaaday: wuxuuna siiyey adhi iyo lo', iyo lacag iyo dahab, iyo rag addoommo ah, iyo naago addoommo ah, iyo geel iyo dameerro.
“The LORD has greatly blessed my master, and he has become rich. He has given him sheep and cattle, silver and gold, menservants and maidservants, camels and donkeys.
36 Saarah oo ahayd sayidkayga naagtiisii ayaa wiil u dhashay sayidkayga markay gabowday, oo wuxuu isaga siiyey wuxuu leeyahay oo dhan.
My master’s wife Sarah has borne him a son in her old age, and my master has given him everything he owns.
37 Sayidkayguna wuu i dhaariyey, isagoo leh, Wiilkayga waa inaanad naag uga guurin gabdhaha reer Kancaanka aan dalkooda degganahay.
My master made me swear an oath and said, ‘You shall not take a wife for my son from the daughters of the Canaanites in whose land I dwell,
38 Laakiinse waxaad u kacdaa gurigii aabbahay, iyo xigaalkaygii, oo wiilkayga naag uga keen.
but you shall go to my father’s house and to my kindred to take a wife for my son.’
39 Markaasaan sayidkaygii ku idhi, Waxaa laga yaabaa inaanay naagtu i soo raaci doonin.
Then I asked my master, ‘What if the woman will not come back with me?’
40 Oo wuxuu igu yidhi, Rabbiga aan hortiisa ku socdo wuxuu ku raacin doonaa malaa'igtiisa, jidkaagana wuu kugu liibaanin doonaa, wiilkaygana naag baad uga guurin doontaa xigaalkaygii iyo gurigii aabbahay,
And he told me, ‘The LORD, before whom I have walked, will send His angel with you and make your journey a success, so that you may take a wife for my son from my kindred and from my father’s house.
41 dabadeedna dhaartayda waxba kaama saarna, markaad u tagto xigaalkay; oo hadday iyada ku siin waayaan, markaas dhaartayda waxba kaama saarna.
And when you go to my kindred, if they refuse to give her to you, then you will be released from my oath.’
42 Maantaan isha imid oo waxaan idhi, Rabbiyow, sayidkayga Ibraahim Ilaahiisow, haddaad haatan jidkayga aan ku socdo igu liibaanisid,
So when I came to the spring today, I prayed: O LORD, God of my master Abraham, if only You would make my journey a success!
43 bal eeg, waxaan ag taaganahay isha biyaha ah, gabadhii u soo baxda inay biyo dhaansato oo aan ku odhan doono, Waan ku baryayaaye, ashuunkaaga iga sii in yar oo biyo ah aan cabbee,
Here I am, standing beside this spring. Now if a maiden comes out to draw water and I say to her, ‘Please let me drink a little water from your jar,’
44 oo igu odhan doonta, Cab, awrtaadana waan u dhaamin doonaa, taasu ha noqoto tii Rabbigu u doortay wiilka sayidkayga.
and she replies, ‘Drink, and I will draw water for your camels as well,’ may she be the woman the LORD has appointed for my master’s son.
45 Oo intaan hadalkii qalbigayga ka dhammaan ayaa Rebeqah soo baxday iyadoo ashuunkeedii garabka ku sidata, markaasay ishii ku dhaadhacday, oo soo dhaansatay: anna waxaan ku idhi, Waan ku baryayaaye, i waraabi.
And before I had finished praying in my heart, there was Rebekah coming out with her jar on her shoulder, and she went down to the spring and drew water. So I said to her, ‘Please give me a drink.’
46 Iyana intay dhaqsatay oo ay ashuunkeedii garabkeeda ka soo dejisay ayay tidhi, Cab, awrtaadana waan waraabin doonaa: sidaas daraaddeed waan cabbay, awrtiina way waraabisay.
She quickly lowered her jar from her shoulder and said, ‘Drink, and I will water your camels as well.’ So I drank, and she also watered the camels.
47 Markaasaan weyddiiyey oo ku idhi, Ina ayaad tahay? Oo waxay tidhi, Ina Betuu'el wiilkii Naaxoor ay Milkah u dhashay isaga. Markaasaan sangeliskii sanka u sudhay; dugaagadihiina gacmaha u geliyey.
Then I asked her, ‘Whose daughter are you?’ She replied, ‘The daughter of Bethuel son of Nahor, whom Milcah bore to him.’ So I put the ring on her nose and the bracelets on her wrists.
48 Kolkaasaan madaxa foororiyey, oo Rabbiga caabuday, oo waxaan ammaanay Rabbiga ah sayidkayga Ibraahim Ilaahiisa, oo igu soo hoggaamiyey jidkii toosnaa, inaan gabadhii sayidkayga walaalkiis u kaxeeyo wiilkiisa.
Then I bowed down and worshiped the LORD; and I blessed the LORD, the God of my master Abraham, who led me on the right road to take the granddaughter of my master’s brother for his son.
49 Haddaba haddaad sayidkayga ula macaamiloonaysaan si raxmad leh oo daacad ah, ii sheega: haddii kalese ii sheega, inaan u leexdo xagga midigta ama xagga bidixda.
Now if you will show kindness and faithfulness to my master, tell me; but if not, let me know, so that I may go elsewhere.”
50 Markaasay Laabaan iyo Betuu'el jawaabeen oo yidhaahdeen, Waxanu wuxuu ka soo baxay xagga Rabbiga, annana kugulama hadli karno xumaan iyo samaan toona.
Laban and Bethuel answered, “This is from the LORD; we have no choice in the matter.
51 Bal eeg, Rebeqah waa ku hor joogtaaye, kaxee oo la tag, oo ha noqoto sayidkaaga wiilkiisii naagtiisa, sidii Rabbigu ku hadlay.
Rebekah is here before you. Take her and go, and let her become the wife of your master’s son, just as the LORD has decreed.”
52 Markii uu Ibraahim addoonkiisii hadalkoodii maqlay ayuu Rabbiga u sujuuday.
When Abraham’s servant heard their words, he bowed down to the ground before the LORD.
53 Markaasuu addoonkii soo bixiyey jowharro lacag ah iyo jowharro dahab ah, iyo dhar, oo Rebeqah siiyey: walaalkeed iyo hooyadeedna wuxuu siiyey waxyaalo qaali ah.
Then he brought out jewels of silver and gold, and articles of clothing, and he gave them to Rebekah. He also gave precious gifts to her brother and her mother.
54 Markaasay wax cuneen oo wax cabbeen, isaga iyo raggii la jirayba, habeenkii oo dhanna halkaasay joogeen. Aroortii bay kaceen oo wuxuu yidhi, Xagga sayidkaygii ii dira.
Then he and the men with him ate and drank and spent the night there. When they got up the next morning, he said, “Send me on my way to my master.”
55 Walaalkeed iyo hooyadeedna waxay yidhaahdeen, Gabadhu ha nala joogto dhawr maalmood, ugu yaraan toban beri; dabadeedna way tegi doontaa.
But her brother and mother said, “Let the girl remain with us ten days or so. After that, she may go.”
56 Markaasuu ku yidhi iyagii, Rabbigu waa igu liibaaniyey jidkaygii, sidaas daraaddeed ha i raajinina, ee i dira inaan sayidkaygii u tago.
But he replied, “Do not delay me, since the LORD has made my journey a success. Send me on my way so that I may go to my master.”
57 Markaasay yidhaahdeen, Gabadha waannu u yeedhi doonnaa oo weyddiin doonnaa.
So they said, “We will call the girl and ask her opinion.”
58 Markaasay Rebeqah u yeedheen, oo waxay ku yidhaahdeen, Ninkan ma raacaysaa? Oo waxay tidhi, Haah, waan raacayaa.
They called Rebekah and asked her, “Will you go with this man?” “I will go,” she replied.
59 Markaasay walaashood Rebeqah direen, iyada iyo midiidinteedii, iyo addoonkii Ibraahim, iyo raggiisiiba.
So they sent their sister Rebekah on her way, along with her nurse and Abraham’s servant and his men.
60 Oo Rebeqah bay u duceeyeen oo ku yidhaahdeen, Walaashayoy, kumanyaal kun hooyadood noqo, farcankaaguna kuwa iyaga neceb iriddooda ha hantiyeen.
And they blessed Rebekah and said to her, “Our sister, may you become the mother of thousands upon thousands. May your offspring possess the gates of their enemies.”
61 Rebeqahna way kacday, iyada iyo gabdhaheediiba, oo waxay fuuleen awrtii, ninkiina way raaceen: addoonkiina wuu kaxeeyey Rebeqah, wuuna tegey.
Then Rebekah and her servant girls got ready, mounted the camels, and followed the man. So the servant took Rebekah and left.
62 Isxaaqna wuxuu ka yimid xagga jidka Bi'ir Lahayroy, waayo, wuxuu degganaa dhulka Koonfureed.
Now Isaac had just returned from Beer-lahai-roi, for he was living in the Negev.
63 Oo gabbaldhicii ayaa Isxaaq berrinka u soo baxay inuu fikiro: markaasuu indhihiisa kor u taagay, oo wax fiiriyey, oo wuxuu arkay awr soo socota.
Early in the evening, Isaac went out to the field to meditate, and looking up, he saw the camels approaching.
64 Rebeqahna indhaheedii bay kor u taagtay, oo markay Isxaaq aragtay ayay ratigii ka degtay.
And when Rebekah looked up and saw Isaac, she got down from her camel
65 Oo waxay addoonkii ku tidhi, Waa ayo ninkaas berrinka dhex socda, oo inaga hor imanaya? Addoonkiina wuxuu yidhi, Waa sayidkaygii. Markaasay indhashareerteedii qaadatay oo hagoogatay.
and asked the servant, “Who is that man in the field coming to meet us?” “It is my master,” the servant answered. So she took her veil and covered herself.
66 Addoonkiina wuxuu Isxaaq u sheegay wixii uu sameeyey oo dhan.
Then the servant told Isaac all that he had done.
67 Isxaaqna wuxuu iyadii soo geliyey teendhadii hooyadiis Saarah, Rebeqahna wuu guursaday, oo naagtiisii bay noqotay. Wuuna jeclaaday iyada, oo Isxaaq waxaa laga qalbi qabowjiyey geeridii hooyadiis.
And Isaac brought her into the tent of his mother Sarah and took Rebekah as his wife. And Isaac loved her and was comforted after his mother’s death.
