Pirmā Mozus 24
1 Un Ābrahāms bija vecs un labi piedzīvojis, un Tas Kungs Ābrahāmu bija svētījis ar visām lietām.
Now Abraham was very old and Yahweh had blessed Abraham in all things.
2 Tad Ābrahāms sacīja uz savu kalpu, to vecāko savā namā, kas valdīja pār visu, kas viņam bija:
Abraham said to his servant, the one who was the oldest of his household and who was in charge of all that he had, “Put your hand under my thigh
3 Liec jel savu roku apakš manas ciskas, tad es tev likšu zvērēt pie Tā Kunga, tā debes' Dieva un tā zemes Dieva, ka tev manam dēlam nebūs sievu ņemt no Kanaāniešu meitām, kuru vidū es dzīvoju,
and I will make you swear by Yahweh, the God of heaven and the God of the earth, that you will not get a wife for my son from the daughters of the Canaanites, among whom I make my home.
4 Bet ka tev būs iet uz manu zemi un pie maniem radiem un manam dēlam Īzakam sievu ņemt.
But you will go to my country, and to my relatives, and get a wife for my son Isaac.”
5 Tad tas kalps uz viņu sacīja: ja tā sieva negribēs man nākt līdzi uz šo zemi, vai man tad tavu dēlu atkal būs aizvest uz to zemi, no kurienes tu izgājis?
The servant said to him, “What if the woman will not be willing to follow me to this land? Must I take your son back to the land from which you came?”
6 Un Ābrahāms uz to sacīja: sargies, ka tu manu dēlu uz turieni nevedi atpakaļ.
Abraham said to him, “Make sure that you do not take my son back there!
7 Tas Kungs, tas debes' Dievs, kas mani ņēmis no mana tēva nama un no manas dzimtenes un kas ar mani runājis un kas man zvērējis sacīdams: tavam dzimumam Es došu šo zemi, - Tas sūtīs Savu eņģeli tavā priekšā, ka tu manam dēlam vari ņemt sievu no turienes.
Yahweh, the God of heaven, who took me from my father's house and from the land of my relatives, and who promised me with a solemn oath saying, 'To your offspring I will give this land,' he will send his angel before you, and you will get a wife for my son from there.
8 Bet ja tā sieva tev negribēs iet līdz, tad tu būsi vaļā no šī mana zvēresta; tikai neved manu dēlu atpakaļ uz turieni.
But if the woman is not willing to follow you, then you will be free from this oath of mine. Only you are not to take my son back there.”
9 Un tas kalps lika savu roku apakš Ābrahāma, sava kunga, ciskas, un tam zvērēja par šo lietu.
So the servant put his hand under the thigh of Abraham his master, and swore to him concerning this matter.
10 Tad tas kalps ņēma desmit kamieļus no sava kunga kamieļiem un aizgāja, un visāda viņa kunga manta bija viņa rokā; un viņš cēlās un gāja uz Mezopotamiju, uz Nahora pilsētu.
The servant took ten of his master's camels and departed. He also took with him all kinds of gifts from his master. He departed and went to the region of Aram Naharaim, to the city of Nahor.
11 Un viņš tiem kamieļiem lika apmesties ārā priekš pilsētas pie vienas ūdens akas ap vakara laiku, tai laikā, kad tās smēlējas ārā nāca, un viņš sacīja:
He made the camels kneel down outside the city by the well of water. It was evening, the time that women go out to draw water.
12 Kungs, Tu mana kunga Ābrahāma Dievs, lai man šodien izdodas un dari žēlastību pie mana kunga Ābrahāma.
Then he said, “Yahweh, God of my master Abraham, grant me success today and show covenant faithfulness to my master Abraham.
13 Redzi, es stāvu pie ūdens akas, un šīs pilsētas ļaužu meitas nāks ārā ūdeni smelt.
Look, here I am standing by the spring of water, and the daughters of the men of the city are coming out to draw water.
14 Tad lai notiek, ka tā jauna meita, uz ko es sacīšu, pasniedz jel savu trauku, ka es varu dzert, - un tā sacīs, dzer, es tavus kamieļus arīdzan dzirdināšu, - ka tā ir tā, ko Tu Savam kalpam Īzakam novēlējis, un ka es pie tā varu atzīt, ka Tu žēlastību esi parādījis manam kungam.
Let it happen like this. When I say to a young woman, 'Please lower your pitcher so that I may drink,' and she says to me, 'Drink, and I will water your camels too,' then let her be the one that you have appointed for your servant Isaac. By this I will know that you have shown covenant faithfulness to my master.”
15 Un notikās, pirms nekā tas bija pabeidzis runāt, redzi, tad nāca Rebeka ārā, kas bija dzimusi Betuēlim, Milkas, Ābrahāma brāļa, Nahora, sievas dēlam; un tai bija viņas trauks uz pleca.
It came about that even before he had finished speaking, behold, Rebekah came out with her water pitcher on her shoulder. Rebekah was born to Bethuel son of Milkah, the wife of Nahor, Abraham's brother.
16 Un tai meitiņai bija ļoti skaists vaigs; tā bija jumprava un neviens vīrs to nebija atzinis; tā nokāpa akā un piepildīja savu trauku un atkal uzkāpa.
The young woman was very beautiful and a virgin. No man had slept with her. She went down to the spring and filled her pitcher, and came up.
17 Tad tas kalps steidzās viņai pretī un sacīja: ļauj man jel kādu ūdens malciņu no tava trauka nodzerties.
Then the servant ran to meet her and said, “Please give me a little drink of water from your pitcher.”
18 Un tā sacīja: dzer, mans kungs! Un tā steidzās un nolaida to trauku uz savu roku un deva tam dzert.
She said, “Drink, my master,” and she quickly let down her pitcher on her hand, and gave him a drink.
19 Un kad tā viņam bija devusi dzert, tad tā sacīja: es smelšu arī priekš taviem kamieļiem, kamēr tie būs padzirdīti.
When she had finished giving him a drink, she said, “I will draw water for your camels also, until they have finished drinking.”
20 Un tā steidzās un izlēja savu trauku dzirdināmā silē, un tecēja atkal uz aku smelt un smēla visiem viņa kamieļiem.
So she hurried and emptied her pitcher into the trough, then ran again to the well to draw water, and drew water for all his camels.
21 Un tas vīrs izbrīnījās par to, klusu ciezdams, ka viņš samanītu, vai Tas Kungs viņa ceļam licis labi izdoties, vai ne.
The man watched her in silence to see whether Yahweh had prospered his journey or not.
22 Un kad tie kamieļi bija padzērušies, tad tas vīrs ņēma vienu zelta pieres sprādzi, - tā svēra pussēķeli - un divus apliekamus roku gredzenus priekš viņas rokām, - tie svēra desmit sēķeļus.
As the camels finished drinking, the man brought out a gold nose ring weighing half a shekel, and two gold bracelets for her arms weighing ten shekels,
23 Un viņš sacīja: meitiņa, kam meita tu esi? Pasaki man jel to: vai priekš mums tava tēva namā vietas, tur naktsmāju dabūt?
and asked, “Whose daughter are you? Tell me please, is there room in your father's house for us to spend the night?”
24 Un tā uz viņu sacīja: es esmu Betuēļa, Milkas dēla, meita, ko tā Nahoram dzemdējusi.
She said to him, “I am the daughter of Bethuel son of Milkah, whom she bore to Nahor.”
25 Un tā vēl uz viņu sacīja: tur ir arī diezgan salmu un barības pie mums, ir mājošanas vieta.
She also said to him, “We have plenty of both straw and feed, and also room for you to spend the night.”
26 Tad tas vīrs Tā Kunga priekšā nomezdamies to pielūdza
Then the man bowed down and worshiped Yahweh.
27 Un sacīja: slavēts lai ir Tas Kungs, mana kunga Ābrahāma Dievs, kas nav atrāvis Savu žēlastību un patiesību no mana kunga! Jo Tas Kungs mani ir vadījis to ceļu uz mana kunga brāļa namu.
He said, “Blessed be Yahweh, the God of my master Abraham, who has not forsaken his covenant faithfulness and his trustworthiness toward my master. As for me, Yahweh has led me directly to the house of my master's relatives.”
28 Un tā meitiņa tecēja un to pasacīja savas mātes namā.
Then the young woman ran and told her mother's household about all of these things.
29 Un Rebekai bija brālis, Lābans vārdā, un Lābans steidzās pie tā vīra ārā uz aku.
Now Rebekah had a brother, and his name was Laban. Laban ran to the man who was out at the road by the spring.
30 Un kad viņš to pieres sprādzi un tos roku gredzenus pie savas māsas rokām redzēja un savas māsas Rebekas vārdus dzirdēja, kas sacīja: tā tas vīrs uz mani runājis, - tad tas nāca pie tā vīra, un redzi, tas stāvēja pie tiem kamieļiem pie akas.
When he had seen the nose ring and the bracelets on his sister's arms, and when he had heard the words of Rebekah his sister, “This is what the man said to me,” he went to the man, and, behold, he was standing by the camels at the spring.
31 Un viņš sacīja: nāc iekšā, Tā Kunga svētītais, kam tu stāvi ārā? Jo es esmu namu sataisījis un vieta ir priekš taviem kamieļiem.
Then Laban said, “Come, you blessed of Yahweh. Why are you standing outside? I have prepared the house, and a place for the camels.”
32 Tad tas vīrs nāca namā, un tie nosegloja tos kamieļus, un deva tiem kamieļiem salmus un barību un ūdeni, mazgāt viņa kājas un to vīru kājas, kas viņam bija līdz.
So the man came to the house and he unloaded the camels. The camels were given straw and feed, and water was provided to wash his feet and the feet of the men who were with him.
33 Un tie viņam cēla priekšā barību; bet viņš sacīja: es neēdīšu, pirms nebūšu runājis savus vārdus. Un tas sacīja: runā.
They set food before him to eat, but he said, “I will not eat until I have said what I have to say.” So Laban said, “Speak on.”
34 Tad viņš sacīja: es esmu Ābrahāma kalps,
He said, “I am Abraham's servant.
35 Un Tas Kungs bagāti ir svētījis manu kungu, un tas ir augumā audzis, un viņš tam ir devis avis un vēršus un sudrabu un zeltu un kalpus un kalpones un kamieļus un ēzeļus.
Yahweh has blessed my master very much and he has become great. He has given him flocks and herds, silver and gold, male servants and female servants, and camels and donkeys.
36 Un Sāra, mana kunga sieva, manam kungam ir dzemdējusi dēlu savā vecumā, un tam viņš ir devis visu, kas viņam pieder.
Sarah, my master's wife, bore a son to my master when she was old, and he has given everything that he owns to him.
37 Un mans kungs man ir licis zvērēt sacīdams: tev manam dēlam nebūs ņemt no tām Kanaāniešu meitām, kuru zemē es dzīvoju.
My master made me swear, saying, 'You must not get a wife for my son from the daughters of the Canaanites, in whose land I make my home.
38 Bet tev būs iet uz mana tēva namu un pie maniem radiem un manam dēlam sievu ņemt.
Instead, you must go to my father's family, and to my relatives, and get a wife for my son.'
39 Tad es sacīju uz savu kungu: ja tā sieva man neies līdz.
I said to my master, 'Perhaps the woman will not follow me.'
40 Un viņš uz mani sacīja: Tas Kungs, kura priekšā es esmu staigājis, sūtīs Savu eņģeli ar tevi, un liks labi izdoties tavam ceļam, ka tu manam dēlam ņemi sievu no manas cilts un no mana tēva nama.
But he said to me, 'Yahweh, before whom I walk, will send his angel with you and he will prosper your way, so that you will get a wife for my son from among my relatives and from my father's family line.
41 Tad tu būsi vaļā no mana zvēresta, kad tu iesi pie maniem radiem, un ja viņi tev nedos, tad tu būsi vaļā no mana zvēresta.
But you will be free from my oath if you come to my relatives and they will not give her to you. Then you will be free from my oath.'
42 Un es nācu šodien pie tās akas un sacīju: Kungs, Tu mana kunga Ābrahāma Dievs, ja Tu, lūdzams, manam ceļam esi licis labi izdoties, kur es eju,
So I arrived today at the spring, and said, 'O Yahweh, God of my master Abraham, please, if you do indeed intend to make my journey successful—
43 Redzi, es stāvu pie tās ūdens akas: kad nu viena jauna meita nāks smelt, un es viņai sacīšu: dod man jel maķenīt ūdens dzert no tava trauka,
here I am, standing by the spring of water—let the young woman who comes out to draw water, the woman to whom I say, “Please give me a little water from your pitcher to drink,”
44 Un tā uz mani sacīs: dzer ir tu un ir taviem kamieļiem es smelšu, - ka šī ir tā sieva, ko Tas Kungs mana kunga dēlam novēlējis.
the woman who says to me, “Drink, and I will also draw water for your camels”—let her be the woman whom you, Yahweh, have chosen for my master's son.'
45 Pirms es savā sirdī pabeidzu runāt, redzi, tad Rebeka nāca ārā ar ūdens trauku uz pleca, un tā nokāpa akā un smēla, un es uz to sacīju: dod man lūdzama padzerties.
Even before I had finished speaking in my heart, behold, Rebekah came out with her pitcher on her shoulder and she went down to the spring and drew water. So I said to her, 'Please give me a drink.'
46 Tad viņa traucās un nocēla savu trauku no sava pleca zemē un sacīja: dzer, un es tavus kamieļus arīdzan dzirdināšu; tad es dzēru, un tie kamieļi arīdzan tapa dzirdināti.
She quickly lowered her pitcher from her shoulder and said, 'Drink, and I will give your camels water also.' So I drank, and she watered the camels also.
47 Un es viņu vaicāju un sacīju: kam meita tu esi? Un tā sacīja: Betuēla, Nahora dēla, meita, ko Milka tam dzemdējusi. Tad es liku to pieres sprādzi uz viņas vaigu un tos roku gredzenus ap viņas rokām.
I asked her and said, 'Whose daughter are you?' She said, 'The daughter of Bethuel, Nahor's son, whom Milkah bore to him.' Then I put the ring in her nose and the bracelets on her arms.
48 Un es nometos un pielūdzu To Kungu un slavēju To Kungu, mana kunga Ābrahāma Dievu, kas mani to īsteno ceļu bija vadījis, mana kunga brāļa meitu viņa dēlam ņemt par sievu.
Then I bowed down and worshiped Yahweh, and blessed Yahweh, the God of my master Abraham, who had led me by the right way to find the daughter of my master's relative for his son.
49 Un nu, ja jūs esat tie, kas žēlastību un uzticību pie mana kunga grib parādīt, tad sakāt man to; un ja ne, tad sakāt man ir to; tad es griezīšos, vai pa labo roku vai pa kreiso.
Now therefore, if you are prepared to show covenant faithfulness and trustworthiness to my master, tell me. But if not, tell me, so that I may turn to the right hand or to the left.”
50 Tad Lābans un Betuēls atbildēja un sacīja: šī lieta ir no Tā Kunga nākusi, mēs nedz ļauna nedz laba nevaram uz tevi runāt.
Then Laban and Bethuel answered and said, “The thing has come from Yahweh; we cannot speak to you either bad or good.
51 Redzi, Rebeka ir tavā priekšā, ņem to un ej; lai tā ir tava kunga dēla sieva, kā Tas Kungs ir sacījis.
Look, Rebekah is before you. Take her and go, so she may be the wife of your master's son, as Yahweh has spoken.”
52 Un kad Ābrahāma kalps viņu vārdus dzirdēja, tad viņš Tā Kunga priekšā pie zemes mezdamies To pielūdza.
When Abraham's servant heard their words, he bowed himself down to the ground to Yahweh.
53 Un tas kalps izņēma sudraba un zelta lietas un drēbes, un deva Rebekai un viņas brālim, un viņas mātei tas arī deva dārgas dāvanas.
The servant brought out articles of silver and articles of gold, and clothing, and gave them to Rebekah. He also gave precious gifts to her brother and to her mother.
54 Tad tie ēda un dzēra, viņš un tie vīri, kas viņam bija līdz, un palika tur pa nakti. Un tie cēlās rītā, un viņš sacīja: atlaidiet mani pie mana kunga.
Then he and the men who were with him ate and drank. They stayed there overnight, and when they arose in the morning, he said, “Send me away to my master.”
55 Tad viņas brālis un viņas māte sacīja: lai tā meitiņa kādas desmit dienas paliek pie mums; pēc tu vari iet.
Her brother and her mother said, “Let the young woman stay with us for a few more days, at least ten. After that she may go.”
56 Bet viņš uz tiem sacīja: neaizkavējiet mani, Tas Kungs manam ceļam licis labi izdoties; atlaidiet mani, ka es eju pie sava kunga.
But he said to them, “Do not hinder me, since Yahweh has prospered my way. Send me on my way so that I may go to my master.”
57 Tad tie sacīja: sauksim to meitiņu un jautāsim viņu.
They said, “We will call the young woman and ask her.”
58 Tad tie sauca Rebeku un uz to sacīja: vai tu gribi iet ar šo vīru? Un tā sacīja: es iešu.
So they called Rebekah and asked her, “Will you go with this man?” She replied, “I will go.”
59 Tad tie atlaida Rebeku, savu māsu, un viņas emmu, un Ābrahāma kalpu un viņa vīrus.
So they sent their sister Rebekah, along with her female servant, on her journey with Abraham's servant and his men.
60 Un tie svētīja Rebeku un uz to sacīja: tu, mūsu māsa, audzi par tūkstošu tūkstošiem, un tavs dzimums lai pārvalda savu ienaidnieku vārtus.
They blessed Rebekah, and said to her, “Our sister, may you be the mother of thousands of ten thousands, and may your descendants possess the gate of those who hate them.”
61 Un Rebeka cēlās ar savām meitām un sēdās uz kamieļiem un gāja tam vīram līdz, un tas kalps ņēma Rebeku un aizgāja.
Then Rebekah arose, and she and her servant girls mounted the camels, and followed the man. Thus the servant took Rebekah, and went his way.
62 Un Īzaks nāca to ceļu no Lekaj-Roī akas, jo tas mita dienvidu(Negebas) zemē.
Now Isaac was living in the Negev, and had just returned from Beer Lahai Roi.
63 Bet Īzaks bija izgājis uz lauku Dievu pielūgt ap vakara laiku. Un tas pacēla savas acis un skatījās, un redzi, kamieļi nāca.
Isaac went out to meditate in the field in the evening. When he looked up and saw, behold, there were camels coming!
64 Un Rebeka pacēla savas acis un redzēja Īzaku un nolaidās no kamieļa.
Rebekah looked, and when she saw Isaac, she jumped down from the camel.
65 Un tā sacīja uz to kalpu: kas tas par vīru, kas tur pa lauku mums nāk pretī? Un tas kalps sacīja: tas ir mans kungs. Tad tā ņēma vaiga apsegu un apsedzās.
She said to the servant, “Who is that man who is walking in the field to meet us?” The servant said, “It is my master.” So she took her veil, and covered herself.
66 Un tas kalps Īzakam visu izteica, ko tas bija darījis.
The servant recounted to Isaac all the things that he had done.
67 Un Īzaks veda Rebeku savas mātes Sāras dzīvoklī, un viņš to ņēma un tā viņam palika par sievu, un viņš to mīlēja. Tā Īzaks tapa iepriecināts pēc savas mātes nāves.
Then Isaac brought her into his mother Sarah's tent and took Rebekah, and she became his wife, and he loved her. So Isaac was comforted after his mother's death.
