Bilowgii 24
1 Ibraahimna waa da' weynaa, gabow buuna la dhacay. Rabbiguna Ibraahim buu ku barakeeyey wax walba.
Abraham by now was old, really old, and the Lord had blessed him in every possible 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.
At that time Abraham told his oldest servant who was in charge of his whole household, “Put 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 swear an oath by the Lord, the God of heaven and the God of earth, that you won't arrange for my son to marry any daughter of the these Canaanite people that I'm living among.
4 laakiin waxaad u kacdaa dalkaygii iyo xigaalkaygii, oo waxaad naag uga keentaa wiilkayga Isxaaq.
Instead, go to my homeland where my relatives live, and find a wife there 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?
“What if the woman refuses to come back with me to this country?” the servant asked. “Should I take your son back to the country you came from?”
6 Ibraahimna wuxuu ku yidhi isagii, Iska jir oo wiilkayga meeshaas ha ku celin.
“No, you mustn't take my son back there,” Abraham replied.
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, took me from my family home and my own country. He spoke to me and swore an oath to me in which he promised, ‘I will give this land to your descendants.’ He is the one who will send his angel ahead of you so that you can find a wife there for my son.
8 Haddii naagtu aanay oggolaan inay ku soo raacdo, markaas dhaartaydan waxba kaa ma saarna, laakiin wiilkayga halkaas ha ku celin.
However, if the woman refuses to return here with you, then you are released from this oath. But make sure you don't take my son back there.”
9 Addoonkii wuxuu gacantiisii hoos dhigay bowdadii sayidkiisii Ibraahim, wuxuuna ugu dhaartay wax arrintan ku saabsan.
The servant put his hand under the thigh of his master Abraham and swore an oath to do as he had been told.
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 arranged for ten of his master's camels to carry all kinds of valuable gifts from Abraham and left for the town of Nahor 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.
Arriving in the evening, he had the camels kneel down by the spring that was outside the town. This was the time when women went out to fetch water.
12 Oo wuxuu yidhi, Rabbiyow, sayidkayga Ibraahim Ilaahiisow, waan ku baryayaaye, maanta i liibaani, sayidkayga Ibraahimna u roonow.
He prayed, “Lord, the God of my master Abraham, please let me be successful today, and please show your faithfulness to my master Abraham.
13 Bal eeg, waxaan ag taaganahay isha biyaha ah, gabdhaha dadka magaaladuna waxay u soo baxayaan inay biyo dhaansadaan.
Look, I'm standing here beside this spring, and the young women of the town are coming to get 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.
May it happen like this. The young woman that I ask, ‘Please hold your water jar so I can have a drink,’ and she replies, ‘Please drink, and I'll give your camels water too’ —may she be the one you've chosen as a wife for your servant Isaac. This way I'll know that you've shown your faithfulness 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.
He hadn't even finished praying when he saw Rebekah coming to get water, carrying her water jar on her shoulder. She was the daughter of Bethuel, son of Milkah. Milkah was 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.
She was very beautiful, a virgin—no one had slept with her. She went down to the spring, filled her jar, and came back up.
17 Markaasuu addoonkii ku orday inuu ka hor tago oo wuxuu ku yidhi, Ashuunkaaga iga waraabi in yar oo biyo ah, waan ku baryayaaye.
The servant ran over to meet her and asked, “Please let me drink a few sips of water from your jar.”
18 Markaasay tidhi, Cab, sayidkaygiiyow. Oo intay dhaqsatay ayay ashuunkeedii dejisay oo gacanta ku qabatay, wayna waraabisay.
“Please drink, my lord,” she replied. She quickly lifted the jar down from her shoulder and held it for him to drink.
19 Oo markii ay waraabisay ka dib ayay ku tidhi, Awrtaadana waan u dhaamin doonaa, ilaa ay wabxaan.
After she finished giving him a drink, she said, “Let me get water for your camels too until they've had enough.”
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.
She quickly emptied her jar into the trough and ran back to the spring to get more water. She brought enough for all his camels.
21 Ninkiina aad buu u fiiriyey iyada, isagoo aamusan, inuu ogaado in Rabbigu ku liibaaniyey sodcaalkiisii iyo in kale.
The man observed her in silence to see if the Lord had made his journey successful or not.
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.
Once the camels had finished drinking, he gave her a gold nose-ring and two heavy gold bracelets for her wrists.
23 Oo wuxuu ku yidhi, Ina ayaad tahay? Waan ku baryayaaye, ii sheeg. Guriga aabbahaa meel aannu ku hoyanno ma leeyahay?
Then he asked her, “Whose daughter are you? Also could you 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'm the daughter of Bethuel, the son of Milcah and Nahor.” Then she added, “We have plenty of straw and food for the camels,
25 Oo weliba waxa kale oo ay ku tidhi, Caws iyo cunto badanba waannu haysannaa, iyo meel lagu hoydo.
and yes, we have room for you to spend the night.”
26 Markaasaa ninkii madaxa foororiyey oo Rabbiga caabuday.
The man kneeled down and bowed in worship to 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.
“Thank you Lord, the God of my master Abraham,” he prayed. “You have not forgotten your commitment and faithfulness to my master. And Lord, you have led me directly to the home of my master's relatives!”
28 Gabadhiina intay orodday ayay waxyaalahan dadkii guriga hooyadeed uga warrantay.
She ran to her mother's house and told her family what had happened.
29 Rebeqahna waxay lahayd walaal magiciisa la yidhaahdo Laabaan. Markaasaa Laabaan dibadda u baxay oo wuxuu ku orday ninkii isha joogay.
Rebekah had a brother named Laban, and he ran out to meet the man who had remained 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.
He'd noticed the nose-ring and the bracelets she was wearing, and he'd heard his sister Rebekah explaining, “This is what the man told me.” When he arrived the man was still there, standing with his camels beside 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.
“Please come home with me, you who are blessed by the Lord,” said Laban. “What are you standing out here for? I've got a room at home ready for you, and a place for the camels to stay.”
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 went home with him. Laban unloaded the camels and gave them straw and food to eat. He also provided water for the man to wash his feet, as well as for the men who were with him.
33 Cuntona waa la hor dhigay inuu cuno: laakiinse wuxuu yidhi, Cuni maayo ilaa aan sheego farriintayda. Kolkaasuu yidhi, Sheeg.
Then Laban had food brought in. But the man told him, “I'm not going to eat until I've explained why I'm here.” “Please explain,” Laban replied.
34 Markaasuu yidhi, Waxaan ahay Ibraahim addoonkiisa.
“I'm Abraham's servant,” the man began.
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 blessed my master so much, and now he is a wealthy and powerful man. The Lord has given him sheep and cattle, silver and gold, male and female servants, and camels and donkeys.
36 Saarah oo ahayd sayidkayga naagtiisii ayaa wiil u dhashay sayidkayga markay gabowday, oo wuxuu isaga siiyey wuxuu leeyahay oo dhan.
His wife Sarah has had a son for my master even 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, saying, ‘You must not arrange for my son to marry any daughter of the Canaanite people in whose land I'm living.
38 Laakiinse waxaad u kacdaa gurigii aabbahay, iyo xigaalkaygii, oo wiilkayga naag uga keen.
Instead, go to my family home where my relatives live, and find a wife there for my son Isaac.’
39 Markaasaan sayidkaygii ku idhi, Waxaa laga yaabaa inaanay naagtu i soo raaci doonin.
I said to my master, ‘What if the woman refuses to 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,
He told me, ‘The Lord, in whose presence I have lived my life, will send his angel with you, and he will make your journey successful—you will find a wife for my son from my relatives, from my father's family.
41 dabadeedna dhaartayda waxba kaama saarna, markaad u tagto xigaalkay; oo hadday iyada ku siin waayaan, markaas dhaartayda waxba kaama saarna.
You will be released from the oath you swear to me if, when you go to my family, they refuse to let her return with you.’
42 Maantaan isha imid oo waxaan idhi, Rabbiyow, sayidkayga Ibraahim Ilaahiisow, haddaad haatan jidkayga aan ku socdo igu liibaanisid,
Today when I arrived at the spring, I prayed, Lord, God of my master Abraham, please let the journey I have taken be successful.
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,
Look, I'm standing here beside this spring. May it happen like this. If a young woman comes to get water, and I say, ‘Please give me a few sips of water to drink,’
44 oo igu odhan doonta, Cab, awrtaadana waan u dhaamin doonaa, taasu ha noqoto tii Rabbigu u doortay wiilka sayidkayga.
and she says to me, ‘Please drink, and I'll get water for your camels too’ —may she be the one you've chosen as a wife for your servant Isaac.”
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.
“I hadn't even finished praying silently when I saw Rebekah coming to get water, carrying her water jar on her shoulder. She went down to the spring to get water, and 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 lifted the jar down from her shoulder and she said, ‘Please drink, and I'll get water for your camels too.’ So I drank, and she got water for 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.
I asked her, ‘Whose daughter are you?’ She replied, ‘I'm the daughter of Bethuel, the son of Milcah and Nahor.’ So I put the ring in 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 kneeled down and bowed in worship to the Lord. I thanked the Lord, the God of my master Abraham, for he led me directly to find my master's niece 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.
So please tell me now, will you show commitment and faithfulness to my master? Please tell me yes or no so I can decide what to do next.”
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 replied, “Clearly all this is from the Lord, so we can't argue one way or the other.
51 Bal eeg, Rebeqah waa ku hor joogtaaye, kaxee oo la tag, oo ha noqoto sayidkaaga wiilkiisii naagtiisa, sidii Rabbigu ku hadlay.
Rebekah's here, you can take her and leave. She can become the wife of your master's son, as the Lord has decided.”
52 Markii uu Ibraahim addoonkiisii hadalkoodii maqlay ayuu Rabbiga u sujuuday.
As soon as Abraham's servant heard their decision, he bowed down in worship to 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 unpacked silver and gold jewelry and expensive clothes and gave them to Rebekah. He also gave valuable presents 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.
He and the men with him ate and drank, and spent the night there. When they got up in the morning, he said, “Let me leave now and go home 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 her mother said, “Let her stay with us for another ten days or so. She can leave after that.”
56 Markaasuu ku yidhi iyagii, Rabbigu waa igu liibaaniyey jidkaygii, sidaas daraaddeed ha i raajinina, ee i dira inaan sayidkaygii u tago.
“Please don't delay me,” he told them. “The Lord has made my journey successful, so let me leave and go back to my master.”
57 Markaasay yidhaahdeen, Gabadha waannu u yeedhi doonnaa oo weyddiin doonnaa.
“Let's call Rebekah and find out what she wants to do,” they suggested.
58 Markaasay Rebeqah u yeedheen, oo waxay ku yidhaahdeen, Ninkan ma raacaysaa? Oo waxay tidhi, Haah, waan raacayaa.
They called Rebekah in and asked her, “Do you want to go with this man now?” “Yes, I'll go,” she replied.
59 Markaasay walaashood Rebeqah direen, iyada iyo midiidinteedii, iyo addoonkii Ibraahim, iyo raggiisiiba.
So they let Laban's sister Rebekah leave with Abraham's servant and his men, together with the woman who had nursed her as a child.
60 Oo Rebeqah bay u duceeyeen oo ku yidhaahdeen, Walaashayoy, kumanyaal kun hooyadood noqo, farcankaaguna kuwa iyaga neceb iriddooda ha hantiyeen.
They asked a blessing on her, saying, “Our dear sister, may you become the mother to thousands and thousands of descendants, and may they conquer 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 on the camels. They followed Abraham's servant and left.
62 Isxaaqna wuxuu ka yimid xagga jidka Bi'ir Lahayroy, waayo, wuxuu degganaa dhulka Koonfureed.
Meanwhile Isaac, who was living in the Negev, had just come back from Beer-lahai-roi.
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.
He went out into the fields one evening to think things over. He looked into the distance and saw camels coming.
64 Rebeqahna indhaheedii bay kor u taagtay, oo markay Isxaaq aragtay ayay ratigii ka degtay.
Rebekah was also keeping a look out. When she 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.
She asked the servant, “Who is this walking through the fields to meet us?” “He's my master, Isaac,” he replied. So she put on her veil to cover herself.
66 Addoonkiina wuxuu Isxaaq u sheegay wixii uu sameeyey oo dhan.
The servant told Isaac everything he'd 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.
Isaac took Rebekah into his mother Sarah's tent, and he married her. He loved her, and she brought him comfort after his grief over his mother's death.
