Chakruok 24
1 Ibrahim noseti kendo hike noniangʼ, kendo Jehova Nyasaye nosegwedhe e yore duto.
And Abraham was old, and well stricken in age: and the LORD had blessed Abraham in all things.
2 Nowacho ne jatichne maduongʼ mane rito gige ode duto niya, “Ket lweti e kind ema.
And Abraham said unto his eldest servant of his house, that ruled over all that he had, Put, I pray you, your hand under my thigh:
3 Adwaro mondo ikwongʼrina gi nying Jehova Nyasaye, Nyasach polo kod piny ni ok ibi yudone wuoda dhako koa kuom nyi Kanaan ma an jadak e kindgini,
And I will make you swear by the LORD, the God of heaven, and the God of the earth, that you shall not take a wife unto my son of the daughters of the Canaanites, among whom I dwell:
4 to ibiro dhi thurwa kendo ir wedena mondo iyudne wuoda Isaka dhako.”
But you shall go unto my country, and to my kindred, and take a wife unto my son Isaac.
5 Jatichne nopenje niya, “Datim angʼo ka nyakono ok oyie biro koda e pinyni? Dadwok wuodi thuru kumane iayeno?”
And the servant said unto him, Possibly the woman will not be willing to follow me unto this land: must I essentially bring your son again unto the land from whence you came?
6 Ibrahim nowachone niya, “Nyaka ine ni ok idwoko wuoda kuno.
And Abraham said unto him, Beware you that you bring not my son thither again.
7 Jehova Nyasaye, ma Nyasach polo mane ogola thurwa e dala wuora kendo nowuoyo koda kotimo koda singruok ni, ‘To ne nyikwayi nami pinyni’ kendo en owuon ema obiro oro malaikane nyimi mondo mi iyudne wuoda dhako kuno.
The LORD God of heaven, which took me from my father's house, and from the land of my kindred, and which spoke unto me, and that swore unto me, saying, Unto your seed will I give this land; he shall send his angel before you, and you shall take a wife unto my son from thence.
8 To ka nyakono ok dwar biro kodi, eka inibed thuolo kuom singruok ma atimo kodini. Ne mana ni ok idwoko wuoda kuno.”
And if the woman will not be willing to follow you, then you shall be clear from this my oath: only bring not my son thither again.
9 Omiyo jatijeno noketo lwete e kind em ruodhe Ibrahim kendo notimo singruok kode e wachni.
And the servant put his hand under the thigh of Abraham his master, and swore to him concerning that matter.
10 Eka jatijeno nokawo ngamia apar mag ruodhe, kod chiwo duto mabeyo mochako wuoth kodhi Aram-Naharaim (tiende ni, Mesopotamia) koluwo yo madhi dala matin mar Nahor.
And the servant took ten camels of the camels of his master, and departed; for all the goods of his master were in his hand: and he arose, and went to Mesopotamia, unto the city of Nahor.
11 Noketo ngamia onindo piny machiegni gi soko but dala; ne en kar angʼich welo, seche mamon dhi umbo.
And he made his camels to kneel down without the city by a well of water at the time of the evening, even the time that women go out to draw water.
12 Eka nolemo niya, “Yaye Jehova Nyasaye Nyasach ruodha Ibrahim, gwedha kawuono, kendo nyis ngʼwononi ne ruodha Ibrahim.
And he said O LORD God of my master Abraham, I pray you, send me good speed this day, and show kindness unto my master Abraham.
13 Ne, koro eri achungo e bath sokoni, kama nyi dalani biro umboe pi.
Behold, I stand here by the well of water; and the daughters of the men of the city come out to draw water:
14 Mad timreni ka awachone nyako moro ni, ‘Asayi, yie dapigi piny mondo mi amodhie,’ kendo ka dowachna ni, ‘modhi kendo abiro chiwo pi ni ngamia-gi duto’ to en ema mondo obed nyako ma iseyierone Isaka jatichni. Kamano anangʼe ni isenyiso ngʼwononi ne ruodha.”
And let it come to pass, that the damsel to whom I shall say, Let down your pitcher, I pray you, that I may drink; and she shall say, Drink, and I will give your camels drink also: let the same be she that you have appointed for your servant Isaac; and thereby shall I know that you have showed kindness unto my master.
15 Kane pok otieko lemo, Rebeka notucho kotingʼo dapige e goke. Ne en nyar Bethuel wuod Milka, mane chi Nahor owadgi Ibrahim.
And it came to pass, before he had done speaking, that, behold, Rebekah came out, who was born to Bethuel, son of Milcah, the wife of Nahor, Abraham's brother, with her pitcher upon her shoulder.
16 Nyakoni ne en jaber man-gi chia, mapok ongʼeyo dichwo! Nolor e soko, motwomo pi eka odwogo.
And the damsel was very fair to look upon, a virgin, neither had any man known her: and she went down to the well, and filled her pitcher, and came up.
17 Jatich Ibrahim noringo kadhi romone mi owachone niya, “Akwayi, yie imiyae pi mondo amodhi.”
And the servant ran to meet her, and said, Let me, I pray you, drink a little water of your pitcher.
18 Eka nowacho niya, “Modhi, ruodha” kendo mapiyo nono noloro dapi e lwete momiye pi omodho.
And she said, Drink, my lord: and she hasted, and let down her pitcher upon her hand, and gave him drink.
19 Bangʼ kane osemiye pi modho, nowachone niya, “Abiro dhi umbo pi ne ngamia magi bende, nyaka gitiek modho.”
And when she had done giving him drink, she said, I will draw water for your camels also, until they have done drinking.
20 Omiyo noloko pi mapiyo nono e besen, moringo odok e soko omo pi kendo noomo moromo ngamiagego duto.
And she hasted, and emptied her pitcher into the gutter, and ran again unto the well to draw water, and drew for all his camels.
21 Jatich Ibrahim nolingʼ thi ma ok owuoyo, karange lingʼ-lingʼ mondo one ane ka Jehova Nyasaye osegwedho wuodhe.
And the man wondering at her held his peace, to know whether the LORD had made his journey prosperous or not.
22 Kane ngamia-go osetieko modho, ngʼatno nogolo tere mar um mar dhahabu ma pekne romo achiel kuom apar mar kilo kod bangli ariyo mag dhahabu mapekgi oromo nus kilo.
And it came to pass, as the camels had done drinking, that the man took a golden earring of half a shekel weight, and two bracelets for her hands of ten shekels weight of gold;
23 Eka nopenje niya, “In nyar ngʼa? Yie inyisa bende dwayudie kar nindo dalau?”
And said, Whose daughter are you? tell me, I pray you: is there room in your father's house for us to lodge in?
24 Nodwoke niya, “An nyar Bethuel, ma wuod Nahor gi Milka.”
And she said unto him, I am the daughter of Bethuel the son of Milcah, which she bare unto Nahor.
25 Kendo nomedo wacho niya, “Wan kod lum kod chiemb ngamia mangʼeny kaachiel gi ot ma unyalo nindoe.”
She said moreover unto him, We have both straw and animal food enough, and room to lodge in.
26 Ngʼatno nopodho auma molamo Jehova Nyasaye,
And the man bowed down his head, and worshipped the LORD.
27 kowacho niya, “Duongʼ odogne Jehova Nyasaye, ma Nyasach ruodha Ibrahim, ma ok oseweyo nyiso adierane gi ngʼwonone ne ruodha. To an, Jehova Nyasaye osetelona e wuoth nyaka e od wede ruodha.”
And he said, Blessed be the LORD God of my master Abraham, who has not left destitute my master of his mercy and his truth: I being in the way, the LORD led me to the house of my master's brethren.
28 Nyakono noringo modhi onyiso joodgi duto gik mane osetimorene.
And the damsel ran, and told them of her mother's house these things.
29 Rebeka ne nigi owadgi miluongo ni Laban, kendo Laban noringo matek ka dhi ir ngʼatno mane ni e sokono.
And Rebekah had a brother, and his name was Laban: and Laban ran out unto the man, unto the well.
30 Kane Laban oseneno tere e um nyamin kod bangli ka ni e lwet nyamin kendo kane owinjo gima Rebeka wacho ni ngʼatno onyise, Laban nodhi ir ngʼatno moyude ka ochungʼ e bath ngamia-go machiegni gi soko.
And it came to pass, when he saw the earring and bracelets upon his sister's hands, and when he heard the words of Rebekah his sister, saying, Thus spoke the man unto me; that he came unto the man; and, behold, he stood by the camels at the well.
31 Laban nowachone niya, “Bi, in ngʼama Jehova Nyasaye ogwedho. Angʼo ma omiyo ichungʼ oko ka? Aseikoni ot kendo nitie kar ngamia bende.”
And he said, Come in, you blessed of the LORD; wherefore stand you without? for I have prepared the house, and room for the camels.
32 Kuom mano ngʼatno nodonjo e ot kendo misike mane ngamia otingʼo nogol kuomgi. Nomigi lum kod chiembgi mi nokelo pi ne jatich Ibrahim kod joge mondo olwokgo tiendegi.
And the man came into the house: and he unbounded his camels, and gave straw and animal food for the camels, and water to wash his feet, and the men's feet that were with him.
33 Eka nokel chiemo ne jatich Ibrahim to nowachonegi niya, “Ok abi chiemo kapok anyisou gima onego awachnu.” Laban nowachone niya, “Kara nyiswa.”
And there was set food before him to eat: but he said, I will not eat, until I have told mine errand. And he said, Speak on.
34 Kuom mano nowacho niya, “An jatich Ibrahim.
And he said, I am Abraham's servant.
35 Jehova Nyasaye osegwedho ruodha ahinya kendo osebedo jamoko. Osemiye rombe kod dhok, fedha kod dhahabu, jotich machwo kod mamon gi ngamia kod punde.
And the LORD has blessed my master greatly; and he is become great: and he has given him flocks, and herds, and silver, and gold, and male servants, and maidservants, and camels, and asses.
36 Sara, jaod ruodha osenywolone wuowi ka hike oniangʼ kendo ruodha osemiyo wuodeno mwandune duto.
And Sarah my master's wife bare a son to my master when she was old: and unto him has he given all that he has.
37 Ruodha nomiyo akwongʼora kowacho ni, ‘Kik iyudne wuoda nyako kuom nyi Kanaan ma adakie lopgini,
And my master made me swear, saying, You shall not take a wife to my son of the daughters of the Canaanites, in whose land I dwell:
38 to dhi e dala wuora kendo ir anywolana kendo iyudne nyako ne wuoda.’
But you shall go unto my father's house, and to my kindred, and take a wife unto my son.
39 “Eka ne apenjo ruodha ni, ‘Datim nangʼo ka nyakono ok oyie biro koda?’
And I said unto my master, Possibly the woman will not follow me.
40 “Nodwoke ni, ‘Jehova Nyasaye, ma asebedo ka awuotho e nyime biro ori gi malaikane kendo obiro gwedho wuodhi, mondo mi iyudne wuoda nyako moa kuom anywolana kendo e od wuora.
And he said unto me, The LORD, before whom I walk, will send his angel with you, and prosper your way; and you shall take a wife for my son of my kindred, and of my father's house:
41 Ka idhi michopo ir jowa to singruogni ok nomaki, to bende ka gitamore miyi nyakono mondo ibigo, to kwongʼruokni ok nobed e wiyi.’
Then shall you be clear from this my oath, when you come to my kindred; and if they give not you one, you shall be clear from my oath.
42 “Kane abiro e soko kawuono, nawacho ni, ‘Yaye Jehova Nyasaye, Nyasach ruodha Ibrahim, kalongʼoni, to gwedh wuodhani.
And I came this day unto the well, and said, O LORD God of my master Abraham, if now you do prosper my way which I go:
43 Ne, koro eri achungo e bath sokoni, ka jatich ma nyako obiro omo pi kendo awachone niya, “Yaye miyae pi amodhi,”
Behold, I stand by the well of water; and it shall come to pass, that when the virgin comes forth to draw water, and I say to her, Give me, I pray you, a little water of your pitcher to drink;
44 kendo ka owachona niya, “Modhi, kendo abiro omo pi nyaka ne ngamia-gi bende,” to en ema mondo obed nyako ma Jehova Nyasaye oseyiero ne wuod ruodha.’
And she say to me, Both drink you, and I will also draw for your camels: let the same be the woman whom the LORD has appointed out for my master's son.
45 “Kane pok atieko lemo e chunya, Rebeka nochopo ka otingʼo dapi e goke. Nolor e soko mondo otuom pi kendo nawachone ni, ‘Yaye miyae pi amodhi.’
And before I had done speaking in mine 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 you.
46 “Piyo piyo nono noyieyo pi piny mi owacho ni, ‘Modhi kendo abiro miyo ngamia magi bende pi.’ Kuom mano namodho, kendo ngamia bende nomodho.
And she made haste, and let down her pitcher from her shoulder, and said, Drink, and I will give your camels drink also: so I drank, and she made the camels drink also.
47 “Napenje ni, ‘In nyar ngʼa?’ “En to nodwoka ni, ‘An nyar Bethuel, wuod Nahor gi Milka.’ “Eka ne aketo tere e ume gi bangli e lwete,
And I asked her, and said, Whose daughter are you? And she said, the daughter of Bethuel, Nahor's son, whom Milcah bare unto him: and I put the earring upon her face, and the bracelets upon her hands.
48 kendo napodho auma kalamo Jehova Nyasaye. Namiyo Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasach ruodha Ibrahim duongʼ, mane telona e yo maber mayudo nyako ma nyakwar owad gi ruodha ne wuode.
And I bowed down my head, and worshipped the LORD, and blessed the LORD God of my master Abraham, which had led me in the right way to take my master's brother's daughter unto his son.
49 Koro nyisauru kuyie timo ngʼwono kod adieri ne ruodha; to ka ok kamano to nyisa mondo mi angʼe kuma achomo.”
And now if all of you will deal kindly and truly with my master, tell me: and if not, tell me; that I may turn to the right hand, or to the left.
50 Laban kod Bethuel nodwoke niya, “Ma-oa kuom Jehova Nyasaye ok wanyal wachoni gimoro amora.
Then Laban and Bethuel answered and said, The thing proceeds from the LORD: we cannot speak unto you bad or good.
51 Rebeka eri; kawe mondo udhi, kendo obed chi wuod ruodhi, mana kaka Jehova Nyasaye osechiko.”
Behold, Rebekah is before you, take her, and go, and let her be your master's son's wife, as the LORD has spoken.
52 Kane jatich Ibrahim owinjo gima negiwacho, nopodho auma e nyim Jehova Nyasaye.
And it came to pass, that, when Abraham's servant heard their words, he worshipped the LORD, bowing himself to the earth.
53 Eka jatich Ibrahim nogolo gik moko mag dhahabu kod mag fedha kod lewni mi nomiyogi Rebeka; kendo nochiwo mich ma nengogi tek ne owadgi kod min-gi.
And the servant brought forth jewels of silver, and jewels of gold, and raiment, and gave them to Rebekah: he gave also to her brother and to her mother precious things.
54 Eka jatich Ibrahim kod jogo mane ni kode nochiemo kendo ometho kendo ne ginindo kanyo. Kane gichiewo kinyne gokinyi nowacho niya, “Weuru adog ir ruodha.”
And they did eat and drink, he and the men that were with him, and tarried all night; and they rose up in the morning, and he said, Send me away unto my master.
55 To owad gi Rebeka kod min-gi nodwoke niya, “We nyakoni odongʼ kodwa kuom ndalo apar kata moloyo kanyo; eka udhi.”
And her brother and her mother said, Let the damsel abide with us a few days, at the least ten; after that she shall go.
56 To jatich Ibrahim nowachonegi niya, “Kik ugengʼna, to weyauru adog ir ruodha, nikech Jehova Nyasaye osegwedho wuodha.”
And he said unto them, Hinder me not, seeing the LORD has prospered my way; send me away that I may go to my master.
57 Eka negiwacho niya, “We waluong nyako mondo wapenje kuom wachni.”
And they said, We will call the damsel, and enquire at her mouth.
58 Kuom mano negiluongo Rebeka kendo gipenje niya, “Inyalo dhi gi ngʼatni?” Rebeka nodwokogi niya, “Abiro dhi.”
And they called Rebekah, and said unto her, Will you go with this man? And she said, I will go.
59 Kuom mano ne giweyo Rebeka odhi kaachiel gi nyako mane opire kod jatich Ibrahim gi joge.
And they sent away Rebekah their sister, and her nurse, and Abraham's servant, and his men.
60 Kendo negigwedho Rebeka kagiwachone niya, “Nyathiwa, bed min ji gana gi gana; mad nyikwayi medre ma kaw mier madongo mag wasikgi.”
And they blessed Rebekah, and said unto her, You are our sister, be you the mother of thousands of millions, and let your seed possess the gate of those which hate them.
61 Eka Rebeka kod jotije ma nyiri noikore moidho ngamia-gi mi gidhi gi jatich Ibrahim. Kuom mano jatich Ibrahim nokawo Rebeka kendo gidhi.
And Rebekah arose, and her damsels, and they rode upon the camels, and followed the man: and the servant took Rebekah, and went his way.
62 Noyudo ka koro Isaka oa Beer-Lahai-Roi, nikech noyudo odak Negev.
And Isaac came from the way of the well Lahairoi; for he dwelt in the south country.
63 Ka noyudo owuotho e pap godhiambo chiengʼ moro ka owuoyo gi Nyasaye, kendo kane orango malo, noneno ngamia kabiro.
And Isaac went out to meditate in the field at the evening: and he lifted up his eyes, and saw, and, behold, the camels were coming.
64 Rebeka bende norango malo moneno Isaka. Nolor piny koa ewi ngamia
And Rebekah lifted up her eyes, and when she saw Isaac, she lighted off the camel.
65 kendo nopenjo jatich Ibrahim niya, “Macha en ngʼa manie pap mabiro romonwa cha?” Jatich nodwoke niya, “En ruodha.” Eka nokawo nanga ma oumogo wangʼe.
For she had said unto the servant, What man is this that walks in the field to meet us? And the servant had said, It is my master: therefore she took a vail, and covered herself.
66 Eka jatich nonyiso Isaka gik moko duto mane osetimo.
And the servant told Isaac all things that he had done.
67 Isaka notero Rebeka e hemb Sara min-gi, kendo Isaka nokendo Rebeka. Kuom mano Rebeka nobedo chi Isaka, kendo Isaka nohero Rebeka gihera mamalo; kendo Isaka ne ok obedo gi parruok bangʼ tho min mare.
And Isaac brought her into his mother Sarah's tent, and took Rebekah, and she became his wife; and he loved her: and Isaac was comforted after his mother's death.
