Genesis 24
1 At si Abraham ay matanda na, at lipas na sa panahon: at pinagpala ng Panginoon si Abraham sa lahat ng mga bagay.
And Abraham was old, well stricken in years; and the Lord had blessed Abraham in all things.
2 At sinabi ni Abraham sa kaniyang alilang katiwala, sa pinakamatanda sa kaniyang bahay na namamahala ng lahat niyang tinatangkilik: Ipinamamanhik ko sa iyo na ilagay mo ang iyong kamay sa ilalim ng aking hita:
And Abraham said unto his servant, the eldest of his house, who ruled over all that he had, Put, I pray thee, thy hand under my thigh:
3 At ikaw ay aking pasusumpain, alangalang sa Panginoon sa Dios ng langit at Dios ng lupa, na hindi mo papag-aasawahin ang aking anak sa mga anak ng mga Cananeo na siyang aking pinakikitahanan:
And I will make thee swear by the Lord, the God of heaven, and the God of the earth, that thou shalt not take a wife unto my son from the daughters of the Canaanites, among whom I dwell.
4 Kundi ikaw ay paroroon sa aking lupain, at sa aking kamaganakan, at papag-aasawahin mo roon ang aking anak na si Isaac.
But unto my country, and to my birthplace shalt thou go, and take a wife unto my son, unto Isaac.
5 At sinabi sa kaniya ng lingkod, Sakaling hindi iibigin ng babae na sumama sa akin sa lupaing ito: dapat ko bang ibalik ang anak mo sa lupaing pinanggalingan mo?
And the servant said unto him, Peradventure the woman will not be willing to follow me unto this land: must I then bring thy son again unto the land from which thou camest?
6 At sinabi sa kaniya ni Abraham, Ingatan mong huwag ibalik doon ang aking anak.
And Abraham said unto him, Beware thou, that thou bring not my son thither again.
7 Ang Panginoon, ang Dios ng langit, na kumuha sa akin sa bahay ng aking ama, at sa lupaing aking tinubuan, at sa akin ay nagsalita, at sa akin ay sumumpa, na nagsasabi, Sa iyong binhi, ibibigay ko ang lupaing ito: ay magsusugo siya ng kaniyang anghel sa unahan mo, at papag-aasawahin mo roon ang aking anak.
The Lord, the God of heaven, who took me from my father's house, and from the land of my birth, and who spoke unto me, and who swore unto me, saying, Unto thy seed will I give this land: he will send his angel before thee, and thou shalt take a wife unto my son from there.
8 At kung ang babae ay ayaw sumama sa iyo, ay maliligtas ka rito sa aking sumpa; huwag mo lamang pabalikin ang aking anak doon.
But if the woman should not be willing to follow thee, then shalt, thou be clear from this my oath: only my son thou shalt not bring thither again.
9 At inilagay ng alilang katiwala ang kaniyang kamay sa ilalim ng hita ni Abraham na kaniyang panginoon, at sumumpa sa kaniya tungkol sa bagay na ito.
And the put his hand under the thigh of Abraham his master, and swore to him concerning this matter.
10 At kumuha ang alilang katiwala ng sangpung kamelyo sa mga kamelyo ng kaniyang panginoon, at yumaon; na dala ang pinakamabuti sa lahat ng pag-aari ng kaniyang panginoon: at tumindig at napasa Mesopotamia, sa bayan ni Nachor.
And the servant took ten camels of the camels of his master, and departed, with all kinds of precious things of his master in his hand; and he arose, and went to Mesopotamia, unto the city of Nachor.
11 At kaniyang pinaluhod ang mga kamelyo sa labas ng bayan, sa tabi ng balon ng tubig, ng dakong palubog na ang araw, na kapanahunan nang paglabas ng mga babae upang umigib ng tubig.
And he made the camels to kneel down without the city by a well of water at the time of the evening, at the time that the women go out to draw water.
12 At sinabi, Oh Panginoon, Dios ng aking panginoong si Abraham, ipinamamanhik ko sa iyong pagkalooban mo ako ng mabuting kapalaran ngayon, at ikaw ay magmagandang loob sa aking panginoong kay Abraham.
And he said, O Lord, the God of my master Abraham, I pray thee, send me good speed this day, and deal kindly with my master Abraham.
13 Narito, ako'y nakatayo sa tabi ng bukal ng tubig: at ang mga anak na babae ng mga tao sa bayan, ay nagsilabas upang umigib ng tubig:
Behold, I stand by the well of water: and the daughters of the men of the city come out to draw water.
14 At mangyari nga na ang dalagang aking pagsabihan, Ibaba mo, isinasamo ko sa iyo, ang iyong banga upang ako'y uminom; at siya'y magsabi, Uminom ka, at paiinumin ko pati ng iyong mga kamelyo: maging siyang iyong itinalaga sa iyong lingkod na kay Isaac: at sa ganito ay malalaman kong nagmagandang loob ka sa aking panginoon.
And let it come to pass that the maiden to whom I shall say, Let down thy pitcher, I pray thee, that I may drink; and she shall say, Drink, and to thy camels also will I give drink, be the one thou hast appointed for thy servant Isaac; and thereby shall I know that thou hast shown kindness unto my master.
15 At nangyari, na bago natapos ang pananalita niya, ay narito si Rebeca na ipinanganak kay Bethuel, na anak ni Milca, na asawa ni Nachor na kapatid ni Abraham na lumalabas na pasan ang kaniyang banga sa kaniyang balikat.
And it came to pass, before he had yet finished speaking, that, behold, Rebekah came out, who was born to Bethuel, the son of Milcah, the wife of Nachor, Abraham's brother, with her pitcher upon her shoulder.
16 At ang babae ay may magandang anyo, dalaga, na hindi pa nasisipingan ng lalake: at lumusong sa bukal, at pinuno ang kaniyang banga, at umahon.
And the maiden was of a very handsome appearance, a virgin, neither had any man known her; and she went down to the well, and filled her pitcher, and came up.
17 At tumakbong sinalubong siya ng alilang katiwala na sinabi, Makikiinom ako ng kaunting tubig sa iyong banga.
And the servant ran to meet her, and said, Let me, I pray thee, drink a little water out of thy pitcher.
18 At sinabi niya, Uminom ka, panginoon ko: at nagmadaling ibinaba ang banga sa kaniyang kamay, at pinainom siya.
And she said, Drink, my lord; and she hastened, and let down her pitcher upon her hand, and gave him to drink.
19 At pagkatapos na kaniyang mapainom, ay sinabi, Iyiigib ko naman ang iyong mga kamelyo, hanggang sa makainom na lahat.
And when she had finished giving him drink, she said, Also for thy camels will I draw water, until they have finished drinking.
20 At ibinuhos na dalidali ang kaniyang banga sa inuman, at tumakbong muli sa balon upang umigib at iniigib ang lahat niyang kamelyo.
And she hastened, and emptied her pitcher into the trough, and ran again unto the well to draw water, and drew for all his camels.
21 At siya'y tinitigan ng lalake; na hindi umiimik, upang maalaman kung pinagpala ng Panginoon ang kaniyang paglalakbay o hindi.
And the man was wondering at her; remaining silent, to discover whether the Lord had made his journey prosperous or not.
22 At nangyari, nang makainom ang mga kamelyo, na kumuha ang lalake ng isang singsing na ginto, na may kalahating siklo sa timbang, at dalawang pulsera upang ilagay sa kaniyang mga kamay, na may timbang na sangpung siklong ginto;
And it came to pass, as the camels had finished drinking, that the man took a golden earring, half a shekel in weight, and two bracelets for her hands, ten gold shekels in weight;
23 At sinabi, Kaninong anak ka? sabihin mo sa akin, ipinamamanhik ko sa iyo. May lugar ba sa bahay ng iyong ama na aming matutuluyan?
And he said, Whose daughter art thou? tell me, I pray thee; is there room in thy father's house for us to stay this night in?
24 At sinabi niya sa kaniya, Anak ako ni Bethuel, na anak ni Milca, na ipinanganak niya kay Nahor.
And she said unto him, I am the daughter of Bethuel the son of Milcah, whom she bore unto Nachor.
25 Sinabi rin niya sa kaniya, Mayroon din naman kaming saganang dayami at pagkain sa hayop, at dakong matutuluyan.
She said moreover unto him, We have both straw and provender in plenty, as also room to lodge in.
26 At lumuhod ang lalake at sumamba sa Panginoon.
And the man bowed down his head, and prostrated himself before the Lord.
27 At siya'y nagsabi, Purihin ang Panginoon, ang Dios ng aking panginoong si Abraham, na hindi inilayo ang kaniyang habag at ang kaniyang pagtatapat, sa aking panginoon: tungkol sa akin, ay pinatnugutan ako ng Panginoon sa daan hanggang sa bahay ng mga kapatid ng aking panginoon.
And he said, Blessed be the Lord, the God of my master Abraham, who hath not withdrawn his mercy and his truth from my master; I being on the way, which the Lord hath led me, to the house of the brethren of my master.
28 At tumakbo ang dalaga at isinaysay sa sangbahayan ng kaniyang ina ang ayon sa mga salitang ito.
And the maiden ran, and told at her mother's house these things.
29 At mayroon si Rebeca na isang kapatid na nagngangalang Laban: at tinakbo ni Laban ang lalake sa labas, sa bukal.
And Rebekah had a brother, and his name was Laban; and Laban ran out unto the man, unto the well.
30 At nangyari, pagkakita ng singsing, at ng mga pulsera sa mga kamay ng kaniyang kapatid, at pagkarinig ng mga salita ni Rebeca na kaniyang kapatid, na sinasabi, Gayon sinalita sa akin ng lalake; na naparoon siya sa lalake; at narito, ito'y nakatayo sa siping ng mga kamelyo, sa bukal.
And this came to pass, when he saw the earring and the bracelets upon his sister's hands, and when he heard the words of Rebekah his sister, saying, Thus spoke the man unto me; and he came unto the man; and, behold, he was standing by the camels at the well.
31 At sinabi niya, Pumasok ka, pinagpala ng Panginoon; bakit ka nakatayo sa labas? sapagka't inihanda ko ang bahay, at ang dako ng mga kamelyo.
And he said, Come in, thou blessed of the Lord; wherefore standest thou without? while I have prepared the house and room for the camels.
32 At pumasok ang lalake sa bahay, at kinalagan ang mga kamelyo; at binigyan ni Laban ng dayami at pagkain ang mga kamelyo, at ng tubig upang ipaghugas ng kaniyang mga paa, at ng mga paa ng mga taong kasama niya.
And the man came into the house, and he ungirded the camels; and he gave straw and provender for the camels, and water to wash his feet, and the feet of the men that were with him.
33 At siya'y hinainan nila ng pagkain: datapuwa't kaniyang sinabi, Hindi ako kakain hanggang hindi ko nasasabi ang aking sadya. At sinabi ni Laban, Magsalita ka.
And there was set food before him to eat; but he said, I will not eat, until I have spoken my words. And he said, Speak on.
34 At kaniyang sinabi, Alilang katiwala ako ni Abraham.
And he said, I am Abraham's servant.
35 At pinagpalang mainam ng Panginoon ang aking panginoon; at siya'y naging dakila: at siya'y binigyan ng kawan at bakahan, at ng pilak at ng ginto, at ng mga aliping lalake, at babae, at ng mga kamelyo, at ng mga asno.
And the Lord hath blessed my master greatly; and he is become great: and he hath given him flocks, and herds, and silver, and gold, and men-servants, and maid-servants, and camels, and asses.
36 At si Sara na asawa ng aking panginoon, ay nagkaanak ng lalake sa aking panginoon, nang siya'y matanda na: at siyang pinagbigyan ni Abraham ng kaniyang lahat na inaari.
And Sarah my master's wife bore a son to my master after she was become old: and he hath given unto him all that he hath.
37 At pinapanumpa ako ng aking panginoon, na sinasabi, Huwag mong papag-aasawahin ang aking anak sa mga anak na babae ng mga Cananeo na siyang lupaing aking tinatahanan:
And my master made me swear, saying, Thou shalt not take a wife for my son from the daughters of the Canaanites, in whose land I dwell:
38 Kundi paroroon ka sa bahay ng aking ama at sa aking kamaganakan, at papag-aasawahin mo roon ang aking anak.
But thou shalt go unto my father's house, and to my kindred, and take a wife unto my son.
39 At sinabi ko sa aking panginoon, Sakaling hindi iibigin ng babaing sumama sa akin.
And I said unto my master, Peradventure the woman will not follow me.
40 At kaniyang sinabi sa akin, Ang Panginoon na sa harap niya'y lumalakad ako, ay susuguin niyang kasama mo ang kaniyang anghel, at kaniyang pagpapalain ang iyong lakad, at papag-aasawahin mo ang aking anak sa aking kamaganakan, at sa angkan ng aking ama:
And he said unto me, The Lord, before whom I have walked will send his angel with thee, and prosper thy way; that thou mayest take a wife for my son from my kindred, and from my father's house.
41 Kung magkagayo'y makakakawala ka sa aking sumpa, pagka ikaw ay dumating sa aking kamaganakan; at kung hindi nila ibigay sa iyo, ay makakakawala ka sa aking sumpa.
Then shalt thou be clear from my oath, when thou comest to my kindred; and if they do not give thee one, [then] shalt thou be clear from my oath.
42 At dumating ako ng araw na ito, sa bukal, at aking sinabi, Oh Panginoon, na Dios ng aking panginoong si Abraham, kung ngayo'y pinagpapala mo ang aking lakad na nilalakad ko:
And I came this day unto the well, and said, O Lord, the God of my master Abraham, if thou wouldst but prosper my way on which I am going.
43 Narito, nakatayo ako sa tabi ng bukal ng tubig; at mangyari, na ang dalagang lumabas na umigib na aking pagsasabihan, Makikiinom ako sa iyo ng kaunting tubig sa iyong banga;
Behold, I stand by the well of water; and it shall be the young woman who cometh forth to draw water, and I say to her, Give me, I pray thee, a little water out of thy pitcher to drink;
44 At siya'y magsasabi sa akin, Uminom ka, at iyigib ko pati ng iyong mga kamelyo: ay siyang maging babaing itinalaga ng Panginoon sa anak ng aking panginoon.
And she say to me, Both drink thou, and also for thy camels will I draw: this shall be the wife whom the Lord hath destined for my master's son.
45 At bago ko nasalita sa sarili, narito si Rebeca, na lumalabas na pasan ang kaniyang banga sa kaniyang balikat; at lumusong sa bukal at umigib: at aking sinabi sa kaniya, Makikiinom ako sa iyo.
And before I had yet finished speaking to my own heart, behold, Rebekah came forth with her pitcher on her shoulder; and she went down unto the well, and drew water; and I said unto her, Let me drink, I pray thee.
46 At dalidali niyang ibinaba ang kaniyang banga sa kaniyang balikat, at nagsabi, Uminom ka, at paiinumin ko pati ng iyong mga kamelyo: sa gayo'y uminom ako, at pinainom niya pati ng mga kamelyo,
And she made haste, and let down her pitcher from her shoulder, and said, Drink, and also to thy camels I will give drink; and I drank, and she made the camels drink also.
47 At siya'y aking tinanong, at aking sinabi, Kaninong anak ka? at kaniyang sinabi, Anak ako ni Bethuel, na anak ni Nachor, na ipinanganak sa kaniya ni Milca: at inilagay ko ang hikaw sa kaniyang ilong, at ang mga pulsera sa kaniyang mga kamay.
And I asked her, and said, Whose daughter art thou? And she said, The daughter of Bethuel, Nachor's son, whom Milcah bore unto him: and I put the earring upon her face, and the bracelets upon her hands.
48 At aking iniyukod ang aking ulo, at sumamba ako sa Panginoon at pumuri sa Panginoon, na Dios ng aking panginoong si Abraham, na pumatnubay sa akin sa daang matuwid upang kunin ang anak ng kapatid ng aking panginoon, para sa kaniyang anak.
And I bowed down my head, and prostrated myself before the Lord; and I blessed the Lord, the God of my master Abraham, who had led me in the right way to take the daughter of my master's brother for his son.
49 At ngayon, kung inyong mamagandahing loob at mamatapatin sa aking panginoon ay sabihin ninyo sa akin: at kung hindi, ay sabihin din ninyo sa akin; upang pumihit ako sa kanan o sa kaliwa.
And now if ye will deal kindly and truly with my master, tell me: and if not, tell me, that I may turn to the right, or to the left.
50 Nang magkagayo'y sumagot si Laban at si Bethuel, at sinabi, Sa Panginoon nagmumula ito: kami ay hindi makapagsasabi sa iyo ng masama o ng mabuti.
Then Laban and Bethuel answered and said, The thing hath proceeded from the Lord; we cannot speak unto thee bad or good.
51 Narito, si Rebeca ay nasa harap mo, dalhin mo, at yumaon ka, at siya'y maging asawa ng anak ng iyong panginoon, na gaya ng sinalita ng Panginoon.
Behold, Rebekah is before thee, take her, and go, and let her be the wife of thy master's son, as the Lord hath spoken.
52 At nangyari, na pagkarinig ng alilang katiwala ni Abraham ng kaniyang mga salita, ay nagpatirapa sa lupa sa harap ng Panginoon.
And it came to pass, when Abraham's servant heard their words, that he prostrated himself to the earth unto the Lord.
53 At naglabas ang alilang katiwala ng mga hiyas na pilak at mga hiyas na ginto, at mga damit, at mga ibinigay kay Rebeca: nagbigay rin siya ng mga mahalagang bagay sa kaniyang kapatid na lalake at sa kaniyang ina.
And the servant brought forth vessels of silver, and vessels of gold, and garments, and gave them to Rebekah; and precious things he gave to her brother and to her mother.
54 At nangagsikain at nangagsiinom siya at ang mga taong kasama niya, at doon nagparaan ng magdamag, at sila'y nagsibangon ng umaga at kaniyang sinabi, Suguin ninyo ako sa aking panginoon.
And they did eat and drink, he and the men that were with him, and tarried the night; and they rose up in the morning, and he said, Send me away unto my master.
55 At sinabi ng kaniyang kapatid na lalake, at ng kaniyang ina, Matira ang dalaga sa aming ilang araw, sangpung araw man lamang; pagkatapos ay paroroon siya.
And her brother and her mother said, Let the maiden abide with us, a year or ten months; after that she shall go.
56 At sinabi niya sa kanila, Huwag ninyo akong pigilin, yamang pinagpala ng Panginoon ang aking lakad; papagpaalamin na ninyo ako, upang ako'y umuwi sa aking panginoon.
And he said unto them, Hinder me not, seeing the Lord hath prospered my way; send me away that I may go to my master.
57 At kanilang sinabi, Tatawagin namin ang dalaga at uusisain namin sa kaniyang bibig.
And they said, We will call the maiden, and inquire her own decision.
58 At kanila ngang tinawag si Rebeca, at kanilang sinabi sa kaniya, Sasama ka ba sa lalaking ito? At sinabi niya, Sasama ako.
And they called Rebekah, and said unto her, Wilt thou go with this man? And she said, I will go.
59 At kanilang pinapagpaalam si Rebeca na kanilang kapatid, at ang kaniyang yaya, at ang alilang katiwala ni Abraham, at ang kaniyang mga tao.
And thereupon they sent away Rebekah their sister, and her nurse, and Abraham's servant, and his men.
60 At kanilang binasbasan si Rebeca, at sinabi nila sa kaniya, Kapatid namin, maging ina ka nawa ng yutayuta, at kamtin ng iyong binhi ang pintuang-bayan niyaong mga napopoot sa kanila.
And they blessed Rebekah, and said unto her, Our sister, be thou the mother of thousands of myriads, and let thy seed possess the gate of those who hate them.
61 At tumindig si Rebeca, at ang kaniyang mga abay, at nangagsisakay sa mga kamelyo, at nangagsisunod sa lalake; at dinala ng alilang katiwala si Rebeca at yumaon.
And Rebekah arose with her maidens, and they rode upon the camels, and followed the man; and the servant took Rebekah, and went his way.
62 At si Isaac ay nanggaling sa daang Beer-lahai-roi; sapagka't siya'y natira sa lupaing Timugan.
And Isaac came from a walk to the well Lachai-roi; for he dwelt in the south country;
63 At lumabas si Isaac sa parang upang magmunimuni ng dakong hapon: at kaniyang itiningin ang kaniyang mga mata, at kaniyang nakita, at, narito, may dumarating na mga kamelyo.
And Isaac was gone out to meditate in the field toward evening; and he lifted up his eyes, and saw, and, behold, camels were coming.
64 Itiningin naman ni Rebeca ang kaniyang mga mata at nang makita niya si Isaac, ay bumaba sa kamelyo.
And Rebekah lifted up her eyes, and she saw Isaac; and she alighted off the camel.
65 At sinabi ni Rebeca sa alilang katiwala, Sino yaong taong naglalakad sa parang na sumasalubong sa atin? At sinabi ng alilang katiwala, Yaon ang aking panginoon: at kinuha niya ang kaniyang lambong, at siya'y nagtakip.
And she said unto the servant, Who is yonder man that walketh in the field toward us? And the servant said, This is my master; therefore she took a vail, and covered herself.
66 At isinaysay ng alilang katiwala kay Isaac ang lahat ng kaniyang ginawa.
And the servant told Isaac all the things that he had done.
67 At dinala siya ni Isaac sa tolda ni Sara na kaniyang ina, at ipinagsama si Rebeca, at naging kaniyang asawa: at kaniya namang sininta: at naaliw si Isaac, pagkamatay ng kaniyang ina.
And Isaac brought her into the tent of Sarah his mother, and took Rebekah, and she became his wife, and he loved her; and Isaac was comforted after his mother's death.
