Yaritilix 24
1 Ibraⱨim ⱪerip, yexi bir yǝrgǝ berip ⱪalƣanidi; Pǝrwǝrdigar Ibraⱨimƣa ⱨǝr tǝrǝptǝ bǝht-bǝrikǝt ata ⱪilƣanidi.
Abraham was old, and well advanced in age. Yahweh had blessed Abraham in all things.
2 Ibraⱨim ɵyidiki ǝng mɵtiwǝr hizmǝtkari, ɵzining pütün mal-mülkini baxⱪuridiƣan ƣojidarƣa: — Ⱪolungni yotamning astiƣa ⱪoyƣin;
Abraham said to his servant, the elder of his house, who ruled over all that he had, “Please put your hand under my thigh.
3 Mǝn seni asmanlarning Hudasi xundaⱪla yǝrning Hudasi bolƣan Pǝrwǝrdigarning nami bilǝn ⱪǝsǝm ⱪildurimǝnki, sǝn mǝn ⱨazir turuwatⱪan bu Ⱪanaaniylarning arisidin oƣlumƣa ⱪiz elip bǝrmǝy,
I will make you swear by Yahweh, the God of heaven and the God of the earth, that you shall not take a wife for my son of the daughters of the Canaanites, among whom I live.
4 Bǝlki ɵz yurtumƣa, xundaⱪla ɵz uruⱪ-tuƣⱪanlirimning ⱪexiƣa berip, oƣlum Isⱨaⱪⱪa hotun elip bǝrgǝysǝn, — dedi.
But you shall go to my country, and to my relatives, and take a wife for my son Isaac.”
5 Hizmǝtkari uningƣa: — Mubada u ⱪiz mǝn bilǝn bu yurtⱪa kǝlgili unimisa, undaⱪta ɵzliri qiⱪⱪan xu yurtⱪa oƣullirini yandurup apiramdimǝn? — dedi.
The servant said to him, “What if the woman isn’t willing to follow me to this land? Must I bring your son again to the land you came from?”
6 Ibraⱨim uningƣa jawab berip: — Ⱨezi bol, oƣlumni ⱨǝrgiz xu yǝrgǝ yandurup barmiƣin!
Abraham said to him, “Beware that you don’t bring my son there again.
7 Meni atamning ɵyi bilǝn tuƣulƣan yurtumdin yetǝklǝp elip kǝlgüqi, yǝni manga sɵz ⱪilip: — «Sening nǝslinggǝ bu yurtni berimǝn», dǝp manga ⱪǝsǝm ⱪilƣan, asmanning Hudasi bolƣan Pǝrwǝrdigar Ɵz Pǝrixtisini aldingƣa ǝwǝtidu; xuning bilǝn sǝn u yǝrdin oƣlumƣa ⱪiz elip kelǝlǝysǝn.
Yahweh, the God of heaven—who took me from my father’s house, and from the land of my birth, who spoke to me, and who swore to me, saying, ‘I will give this land to your offspring—he will send his angel before you, and you shall take a wife for my son from there.
8 Xundaⱪtimu, ǝgǝr ⱪiz sǝn bilǝn bu yǝrgǝ kǝlgili unimisa, mǝn sanga ⱪilduridiƣan ⱪǝsǝmdin halas bolisǝn; ǝmma oƣlumni u yǝrgǝ ⱨǝrgiz yandurup barmiƣin, — dedi.
If the woman isn’t willing to follow you, then you shall be clear from this oath to me. Only you shall not bring my son there again.”
9 Xuning bilǝn hizmǝtkar ⱪolini hojisi Ibraⱨimning yotisining astiƣa ⱪoyup turup, bu toƣrida uningƣa ⱪǝsǝm ⱪildi.
The servant put his hand under the thigh of Abraham his master, and swore to him concerning this matter.
10 Andin hizmǝtkar bu toƣrida hojisining tɵgiliridin onni, xundaⱪla hojisining ⱨǝrhil esil nǝrsilirini elip yolƣa qiⱪti; u Aram-Naⱨaraim rayoniƣa sǝpǝr ⱪilip, Naⱨorning xǝⱨirigǝ yetip kǝldi.
The servant took ten of his master’s camels, and departed, having a variety of good things of his master’s with him. He arose, and went to Mesopotamia, to the city of Nahor.
11 U xǝⱨǝrning sirtidiki bir ⱪuduⱪning yenida tɵgilirini qɵkündurdi: bu kǝqⱪurun, ⱪiz-ayallarning su tartⱪili qiⱪidiƣan qeƣi idi.
He made the camels kneel down outside the city by the well of water at the time of evening, the time that women go out to draw water.
12 U dua ⱪilip: — Əy hojam Ibraⱨimning Hudasi bolƣan Pǝrwǝrdigar, ɵtünimǝnki, bügün mening iximni ongƣa tartⱪaysǝn, hojam Ibraⱨimƣa xapaǝt kɵrsǝtkǝysǝn.
He said, “Yahweh, the God of my master Abraham, please give me success today, and show kindness to my master Abraham.
13 Mana mǝn bu yǝrdǝ ⱪuduⱪning bexida turuwatimǝn wǝ xǝⱨǝr hǝlⱪining ⱪizliri bu yǝrgǝ su tartⱪili keliwatidu.
Behold, I am standing by the spring of water. The daughters of the men of the city are coming out to draw water.
14 Əmdi xundaⱪ bolsunki, mǝn ⱪaysi ⱪizƣa: «Komzikingni qüxürsǝng, mǝn su iqiwalsam boptikǝn!» desǝm, u jawab berip: «Mana iqkin, mǝn tɵgiliringnimu suƣirip ⱪoyay», desǝ, u ⱪiz sǝn ⱪulung Isⱨaⱪⱪa bekitkiningning ɵzi bolsun. Buningdin sening hojam Ibraⱨimƣa xapaǝt ⱪilƣiningni bilǝlǝymǝn, — dedi.
Let it happen, that the young lady to whom I will say, ‘Please let down your pitcher, that I may drink,’ then she says, ‘Drink, and I will also give your camels a drink,’—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 U tehi sɵzini tügǝtmǝyla, mana Riwkaⱨ kozini mürisidǝ kɵtürüp qiⱪip kǝldi; u bolsa Ibraⱨimning inisi Naⱨorning ayali Milkaⱨtin tuƣulƣan oƣli Betuǝlning ⱪizi idi;
Before he had finished speaking, behold, Rebekah came out, who was born to Bethuel the son of Milcah, the wife of Nahor, Abraham’s brother, with her pitcher on her shoulder.
16 Ⱪiz intayin qirayliⱪ bolup, ⱨeq ǝr kixi tǝgmigǝn pak ⱪiz idi. U ⱪuduⱪning boyiƣa qüxüp, komzikini toldurup andin qiⱪti.
The young lady was very beautiful to look at, a virgin. No man had known her. She went down to the spring, filled her pitcher, and came up.
17 Hizmǝtkar uning aldiƣa yügürüp berip: — Ɵtünüp ⱪalay, komzikingtin azƣina su otliwalay, dedi.
The servant ran to meet her, and said, “Please give me a drink, a little water from your pitcher.”
18 U jawab berip: — Iqkǝyla, ǝy hojam! dǝpla, komzǝkni dǝrⱨal ⱪoliƣa elip, uning su iqixi üqün sundi.
She said, “Drink, my lord.” She hurried, and let down her pitcher on her hand, and gave him a drink.
19 U süyidin uningƣa ⱪanƣuqǝ iqküzgǝndin keyin: — Tɵgilirigimu ⱪanƣuqǝ su iqküzüp ⱪoyay, — dedi.
When she had finished giving him a drink, she said, “I will also draw for your camels, until they have finished drinking.”
20 Xuning bilǝn u dǝrⱨal komzǝktiki suni olaⱪⱪa tɵküwetip, yǝnǝ ⱪuduⱪⱪa su tartⱪili yügürüp bardi; u uning ⱨǝmmǝ tɵgilirigǝ su tartip bǝrdi.
She hurried, and emptied her pitcher into the trough, and ran again to the well to draw, and drew for all his camels.
21 U kixi uningƣa kɵzini tikkiniqǝ jimjit turup, Pǝrwǝrdigarning yolini ong ⱪilƣan, ⱪilmiƣanliⱪini bilix üqün kütüwatatti.
The man looked steadfastly at her, remaining silent, to know whether Yahweh had made his journey prosperous or not.
22 Tɵgilǝr su iqip ⱪanƣanda, xundaⱪ boldiki, ⱨeliⱪi kixi yerim xǝkǝllik bir altun burun ⱨalⱪisi bilǝn ikki ⱪoliƣa on xǝkǝllik altun bilǝzükni qiⱪirip ⱪizƣa berip uningƣa:
As the camels had done drinking, the man took a golden ring of half a shekel weight, and two bracelets for her hands of ten shekels weight of gold,
23 Sǝn kimning ⱪizi bolisǝn? Manga dǝp bǝrsǝng! Atangning ɵyidǝ bizgǝ ⱪonƣudǝk jay barmu? — dǝp soridi.
and said, “Whose daughter are you? Please tell me. Is there room in your father’s house for us to stay?”
24 Ⱪiz uningƣa: — Mǝn Milkaⱨning Naⱨorƣa tuƣup bǝrgǝn oƣli Betuǝlning ⱪizi bolimǝn, — dedi,
She said to him, “I am the daughter of Bethuel the son of Milcah, whom she bore to Nahor.”
25 yǝnǝ uningƣa: — Bizningkidǝ saman bilǝn boƣuz kǝngri, [silǝrgǝ] ⱪonƣili jaymu bar, — dedi.
She said moreover to him, “We have both straw and feed enough, and room to lodge in.”
26 Xuan bu adǝm engixip Pǝrwǝrdigarning aldida sǝjdǝ ⱪilip:
The man bowed his head, and worshiped Yahweh.
27 Ɵz xapaiti bilǝn ⱨojamdin wapadarliⱪini ayimiƣan, hojam Ibraⱨimning Hudasi bolƣan Pǝrwǝrdigarƣa Ⱨǝmdusana oⱪulƣay! Pǝrwǝrdigar bu sǝpirimdǝ meni hojamning ⱪerindaxliri turƣan ɵygǝ baxlap kǝldi! — dedi.
He said, “Blessed be Yahweh, the God of my master Abraham, who has not forsaken his loving kindness and his truth toward my master. As for me, Yahweh has led me on the way to the house of my master’s relatives.”
28 Ⱪiz yügürüp berip, bularning ⱨǝmmisini anisining ɵydikilǝrgǝ eytip bǝrdi.
The young lady ran, and told her mother’s house about these words.
29 Əmdi Riwkaⱨning Laban degǝn bir akisi bar idi. Laban ⱪuduⱪning bexiƣa, u adǝmning ⱪexiƣa yügürüp qiⱪti.
Rebekah had a brother, and his name was Laban. Laban ran out to the man, to the spring.
30 Qünki u singlisining burun ⱨalⱪisini wǝ ⱪolliridiki bilǝzüklǝrni kɵrüp, ⱨǝmdǝ singlisining: u adǝm manga mundaⱪ-mundaⱪ dedi, deginini anglap, u adǝmning ⱪexiƣa bardi. Mana, u kixi ⱪuduⱪning yenida tɵgilǝrning ⱪexida turatti.
When he saw the ring, and the bracelets on his sister’s hands, and when he heard the words of Rebekah his sister, saying, “This is what the man said to me,” he came to the man. Behold, he was standing by the camels at the spring.
31 Laban uningƣa: — Əy Pǝrwǝrdigarning bǝht-bǝrikiti ata ⱪilinƣuqi, kirgǝyla! Nemǝ üqün taxⱪirida turdila? Mǝn ɵyni tǝyyarlap ⱪoydum, tɵgilǝrgimu jay raslidim, — dedi.
He said, “Come in, you blessed of Yahweh. Why do you stand outside? For I have prepared the house, and room for the camels.”
32 U adǝm ɵygǝ kirdi; Laban tɵgilǝrdin yükni qüxürüp, tɵgilǝrgǝ saman bilǝn boƣuz berip, u kixining ⱨǝm uning ⱨǝmraⱨlirining putlirini yuƣili su elip kǝldi;
The man came into the house, and he unloaded the camels. He gave straw and feed for the camels, and water to wash his feet and the feet of the men who were with him.
33 andin u kixining aldiƣa taam ⱪoyuldi; lekin u: — Mǝn gepimni demǝy turup taam yemǝymǝn, — dedi. Laban jawab berip: — Eytⱪayla, dedi.
Food was set before him to eat, but he said, “I will not eat until I have told my message.” Laban said, “Speak on.”
34 U: — Mǝn bolsam Ibraⱨimning hizmǝtkarimǝn;
He said, “I am Abraham’s servant.
35 Pǝrwǝrdigar hojamƣa kɵp bǝht-bǝrikǝt ata ⱪilƣaqⱪa, u uluƣ bir kixi boldi. U uningƣa ⱪoy bilǝn kala, kümüx bilǝn altun, ⱪul bilǝn dedǝklǝrni, tɵgǝ bilǝn exǝklǝrni bǝrdi.
Yahweh has blessed my master greatly. He has become great. Yahweh has given him flocks and herds, silver and gold, male servants and female servants, and camels and donkeys.
36 Hojamning ayali Saraⱨ ⱪeriƣanda hojamƣa bir oƣul tuƣup bǝrgǝnidi. Hojam [oƣliƣa] ɵzining barliⱪini atidi.
Sarah, my master’s wife, bore a son to my master when she was old. He has given all that he has to him.
37 Hojam meni ⱪǝsǝm ⱪildurup: «Sǝn mǝn turuwatⱪan zemindiki Ⱪanaaniylarning ⱪizliridin oƣlumƣa hotun elip bǝrmǝ,
My master made me swear, saying, ‘You shall not take a wife for my son from the daughters of the Canaanites, in whose land I live,
38 bǝlki jǝzmǝn atamning ɵyigǝ, ɵz tuƣⱪanlirimning ⱪexiƣa berip, oƣlumƣa hotun elip bǝrgǝysǝn», — dedi.
but you shall go to my father’s house, and to my relatives, and take a wife for my son.’
39 U waⱪitta mǝn hojamƣa: «U ⱪiz mǝn bilǝn kǝlgili unimisiqu?» — desǝm,
I asked my master, ‘What if the woman will not follow me?’
40 u manga jawab berip: «Tutⱪan yollirim uningƣa oquⱪ bolƣan Pǝrwǝrdigarim Ɵz Pǝrixtisini sening bilǝn ǝwǝtip, yolungni ong ⱪilidu. Bu tǝriⱪidǝ sǝn mening ailidikilirim arisidin, atamning jǝmǝti iqidin oƣlumƣa hotun elip berisǝn.
He said to me, ‘Yahweh, before whom I walk, will send his angel with you, and prosper your way. You shall take a wife for my son from my relatives, and of my father’s house.
41 Xundaⱪ ⱪilip ailǝmdikilǝrning ⱪexiƣa yetip barƣiningda, sǝn mǝn ⱪildurƣan ⱪǝsǝmdin halas bolisǝn; ular sanga ⱪizni bǝrmisimu ohxaxla ⱪǝsǝmdin halas bolisǝn», — degǝnidi.
Then you will be clear from my oath, when you come to my relatives. If they don’t give her to you, you shall be clear from my oath.’
42 Xunga mǝn bügün bu ⱪuduⱪning ⱪexiƣa kelip: — Əy, hojam Ibraⱨimning Hudasi bolƣan Pǝrwǝrdigar, ǝgǝr sǝn bu sǝpirimni ong ⱪilsang: —
I came today to the spring, and said, ‘Yahweh, the God of my master Abraham, if now you do prosper my way which I go—
43 mana mǝn su ⱪuduⱪining yenida turuwatimǝn; wǝ xundaⱪ bolsunki, su tartⱪili kǝlgǝn ⱪizƣa: «Komzikingdin manga bir otlam su bǝrgǝn bolsang», desǝm,
behold, I am standing by this spring of water. Let it happen, that the maiden who comes out to draw, to whom I will say, “Please give me a little water from your pitcher to drink,”
44 u manga: «Sǝn iqkin, tɵgiliringgimu su tartip berǝy», dǝp jawab bǝrsǝ, undaⱪta bu ⱪiz dǝl Pǝrwǝrdigar Ɵzi hojamning oƣli üqün bekitkǝn ⱪiz bolsun, dǝp dua ⱪilƣanidim.
then she tells me, “Drink, and I will also draw for your camels,”—let her be the woman whom Yahweh has appointed for my master’s son.’
45 Kɵnglümdǝ tehi sɵzüm tügimǝyla, mana, Riwkaⱨ komzǝkni mürisidǝ kɵtürüp qiⱪip, ⱪuduⱪning boyiƣa qüxüp su tartti; mǝn uningƣa: — Iltipat ⱪilip, manga su iqkili ⱪoysang, dewidim,
Before I had finished speaking in my heart, behold, Rebekah came out with her pitcher on her shoulder. She went down to the spring, and drew. I said to her, ‘Please let me drink.’
46 u dǝrⱨal komzikini mürisidin qüxürüp: «Iqkǝyla, tɵgilirinimu suƣirip ⱪoyay», dedi. Xuning bilǝn mǝn iqtim; u tɵgilirimnimu suƣirip ⱪoydi.
She hurried and let down her pitcher from her shoulder, and said, ‘Drink, and I will also give your camels a drink.’ So I drank, and she also gave the camels a drink.
47 Andin mǝn uningdin: — Kimning ⱪizi bolisǝn, dǝp sorisam, u jawab berip: — Mǝn Naⱨorning Milkaⱨdin tuƣulƣan oƣli Betuǝlning ⱪizi bolimǝn, — dedi. Xu qaƣda mǝn uning burniƣa ⱨalⱪa, ⱪolliriƣa bilǝzüklǝrni selip ⱪoydum;
I asked her, and said, ‘Whose daughter are you?’ She said, ‘The daughter of Bethuel, Nahor’s son, whom Milcah bore to him.’ I put the ring on her nose, and the bracelets on her hands.
48 andin engixip Pǝrwǝrdigarƣa sǝjdǝ ⱪildim; hojamning ⱪerindixining ⱪizini uning oƣli üqün elip ketixkǝ mening yolumni ong ⱪilƣini üqün, hojamning Hudasi bolƣan Pǝrwǝrdigarƣa ⱨǝmdusana eyttim.
I bowed my head, and worshiped Yahweh, and blessed Yahweh, the God of my master Abraham, who had led me in the right way to take my master’s brother’s daughter for his son.
49 Əmdi silǝr hojamƣa ihlas ⱪilip xapaǝt kɵrsitǝyli desǝnglar, buni manga dǝnglar. Əgǝr halimisanglar, unimu manga eytinglar, mǝn ong tǝrǝpkǝ yaki sol tǝrǝpkǝ barimǝn, — dedi.
Now if you will deal kindly and truly with my master, tell me. If not, tell me, that I may turn to the right hand, or to the left.”
50 Əmdi Laban bilǝn Betuǝl jawab berip: — Bu ix Pǝrwǝrdigardin bolƣaq, siligǝ ya undaⱪ ya bundaⱪ deyǝlmǝymiz.
Then Laban and Bethuel answered, “The thing proceeds from Yahweh. We can’t speak to you bad or good.
51 Mana, Riwkaⱨ aldilirida turidu; uni elip kǝtkǝyla. U Pǝrwǝrdigarning deginidǝk ɵz hojilirining oƣliƣa hotun bolsun, — dedi.
Behold, Rebekah is before you. Take her, and go, and let her be your master’s son’s wife, as Yahweh has spoken.”
52 Ibraⱨimning hizmǝtkari ularning sɵzlirini anglap, yǝrgǝ engixip, Pǝrwǝrdigarƣa sǝjdǝ ⱪildi.
When Abraham’s servant heard their words, he bowed himself down to the earth to Yahweh.
53 Andin, hizmǝtkar kümüx buyumlarni, altun buyumlarni wǝ kiyim-keqǝklǝrni qiⱪirip, bularni Riwkaⱨⱪa bǝrdi; u yǝnǝ ⱪizning akisi wǝ anisiƣimu ⱪimmǝtlik ⱨǝdiyǝlǝrni sundi.
The servant brought out jewels of silver, and jewels of gold, and clothing, and gave them to Rebekah. He also gave precious things to her brother and her mother.
54 Andin u wǝ ⱨǝmraⱨliri bilǝn billǝ yǝp-iqip, xu yǝrdǝ ⱪonup ⱪaldi. Ətisi sǝⱨǝrdǝ ⱪopup, u ularƣa: meni hojamning ⱪexiƣa yolƣa selip ⱪoyunglar, dewidi,
They ate and drank, he and the men who were with him, and stayed all night. They rose up in the morning, and he said, “Send me away to my master.”
55 Ⱪizning akisi bilǝn anisi uningƣa: — Ⱪiz birⱪanqǝ kün yaki on kün yenimizda tursun; andin barsun, — dedi.
Her brother and her mother said, “Let the young lady stay with us a few days, at least ten. After that she will go.”
56 Əmma u ularƣa: — Pǝrwǝrdigar mening sǝpirimni ong ⱪilƣanikǝn, meni tosmanglar; hojamning ⱪexiƣa berixim üqün meni yolƣa selip ⱪoyunglar, — dedi.
He said to them, “Don’t hinder me, since Yahweh has prospered my way. Send me away that I may go to my master.”
57 Ular uningƣa: — Ⱪizni qaⱪirip, uning aƣzidin anglap baⱪayli, dǝp
They said, “We will call the young lady, and ask her.”
58 Riwkaⱨni qaⱪirip uningdin: — Bu adǝm bilǝn baramsǝn? dǝp soriwidi, u: — Baray, dǝp jawab bǝrdi.
They called Rebekah, and said to her, “Will you go with this man?” She said, “I will go.”
59 Xuning bilǝn ular singlisi Riwkaⱨni, uning inik’anisi, Ibraⱨimning hizmǝtkari wǝ adǝmliri bilǝn ⱪoxup yolƣa selip ⱪoydi.
They sent away Rebekah, their sister, with her nurse, Abraham’s servant, and his men.
60 U waⱪitta ular Riwkaⱨⱪa bǝht tilǝp: — Əy singlimiz, mingliƣan on mingliƣan adǝmlǝrning anisi bolƣaysǝn! Nǝsling düxmǝnlirining dǝrwaziliriƣa igǝ bolƣay! — dedi.
They blessed Rebekah, and said to her, “Our sister, may you be the mother of thousands of ten thousands, and let your offspring possess the gate of those who hate them.”
61 Xuning bilǝn Riwkaⱨ bilǝn uning dedǝkliri ornidin turup, tɵgilǝrgǝ minip, u kixigǝ ǝgixip mangdi. Xundaⱪ ⱪilip hizmǝtkar Riwkaⱨni elip yolƣa qiⱪti.
Rebekah arose with her ladies. They rode on the camels, and followed the man. The servant took Rebekah, and went his way.
62 Isⱨaⱪ Bǝǝr-laⱨay-roy degǝn jaydin bayila ⱪaytip kǝlgǝnidi; qünki u jǝnubtiki Nǝgǝwdǝ turatti;
Isaac came from the way of Beer Lahai Roi, for he lived in the land of the South.
63 Isⱨaⱪ kǝqⱪurun istiⱪamǝtkǝ dalaƣa qiⱪⱪanidi; u bexini kɵtürüp ⱪarisa, mana tɵgilǝr keliwatatti.
Isaac went out to meditate in the field at the evening. He lifted up his eyes and looked. Behold, there were camels coming.
64 Riwkaⱨ bexini kɵtürüp, Isⱨaⱪni kɵrdi; u dǝrⱨal tɵgidin qüxüp, hizmǝtkardin: — Sǝⱨrada bizning aldimizƣa qiⱪiwatⱪan bu kixi kim bolidu? — dǝp soridi. Hizmǝtkar: — Bu hojamdur! dedi. Riwkaⱨ dǝrⱨal qümbilini tartip yüzini yepiwaldi.
Rebekah lifted up her eyes, and when she saw Isaac, she got off the camel.
She said to the servant, “Who is the man who is walking in the field to meet us?” The servant said, “It is my master.” She took her veil, and covered herself.
66 Hizmǝtkar ǝmdi ⱪilƣan ⱨǝmmǝ ixlirini Isⱨaⱪⱪa eytip bǝrdi.
The servant told Isaac all the things that he had done.
67 Isⱨaⱪ ⱪizni anisi Saraⱨning qediriƣa baxlap kirdi; u Riwkaⱨni ɵz ǝmrigǝ aldi; u uning hotuni boldi. U uni yahxi kɵrüp ⱪaldi; bu tǝriⱪidǝ Isⱨaⱪ anisining wapatidin keyin tǝsǝlli tapti.
Isaac brought her into his mother Sarah’s tent, and took Rebekah, and she became his wife. He loved her. So Isaac was comforted after his mother’s death.
