Genesis 24
1 Abraham was old, and well advanced in age. The LORD had blessed Abraham in all things.
In pacl se inge Abraham el arulana matuoh, tuh LEUM GOD El akinsewowoyal in ma nukewa el oru.
2 Abraham said to his servant, the elder of his house, who ruled over all that he had, “Please put your hand under my thigh.
El fahk nu sin mwet kulansap se ma matu oemeet lal, su karingin ma lal nukewa, “Filiya poum inmasrlon epuk ac orala sie wulela nu sik.
3 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 for my son of the daughters of the Canaanites, among whom I live.
Nga lungse kom in wulela Inen LEUM GOD, su God lun kusrao ac faclu, lah kom fah tia sulela sie mutan Canaan kien wen nutik uh.
4 But you shall go to my country, and to my relatives, and take a wife for my son Isaac.”
Enenu na kom in folokla nu in facl su nga matula we, ac eis sie mutan inmasrlon mwet luk tuh in mutan kial Isaac, wen nutik.”
5 The servant said to him, “What if the woman is not willing to follow me to this land? Must I bring your son again to the land you came from?”
A mwet kulansap sac siyuk, “Ac mutan sac fin tia lungse fahsr liki acn sel in wiyu tuku nu in acn Canaan? Ya nga ac supwala wen nutum in folokla nwe yen kom tuku we me an?”
6 Abraham said to him, “Beware that you do not bring my son there again.
Abraham el topuk, “Liyaung na kom in tia folokunla wen nutik uh nu we!
7 The LORD, 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.
LEUM GOD lun kusrao El usyume liki acn sin papa tumuk ac liki sou luk, ac El orala wulela na ku se lal nu sik mu El ac sang acn se inge nu sin fwilin tulik nutik. El fah supwala lipufan lal meet liki kom, tuh kom fah ku in konauk sie mutan kien wen nutik uh we.
8 If the woman is not willing to follow you, then you shall be clear from this oath to me. Only you shall not bring my son there again.”
Mutan sac fin tia lungse wi kom tuku, na kom sukosok liki wulela se inge. Tusruktu ac fah wangin kutena sripa ac pwanang kom in folokunla wen nutik uh nu we.”
9 The servant put his hand under the thigh of Abraham his master, and swore to him concerning this matter.
Ouinge mwet kulansap sac el filiya paol inmasrlon epal Abraham, leum lal, ac wulela in oru oana ma Abraham el fahk nu sel.
10 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.
Ac mwet kulansap sac el us kain in mwe lung puspis fin singoul sin camel nutin leum lal, ac som nu ke siti se yen Nahor el muta we epang in acn Mesopotamia.
11 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.
Ke el sun acn we, el orala camel uh in muta nu ten sisken lufin kof se likin siti sac. In pacl se inge ekela, pacl mutan uh in tuku ut kof.
12 He said, “LORD, the God of my master Abraham, please give me success today, and show kindness to my master Abraham.
Mwet kulansap sac pre ac fahk, “O LEUM GOD, God lal Abraham leum luk, akwoye ouiyuk misenge, ac akpwayei wuleang lom nu sel Abraham, leum luk.
13 Behold, I am standing by the spring of water. The daughters of the men of the city are coming out to draw water.
Nga a inge, sisken lufin kof se yen mutan fusr in siti uh ac tuku ut kof we.
14 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.”
Nga fah fahk nu sin sie selos, ‘Nunak munas sruhkya sufa in kof nimom an nu ten, ac lela ngan nimya.’ El fin fahk, ‘Nimya, ac nga fah oayapa ut kof nimen camel nutum uh,’ lela tuh in pa inge mutan se ma kom sulela kial Isaac, mwet kulansap lom. Ma se inge fin sikyak, na nga ac fah etu lah kom akpwayei wulela lom nu sin leum luk.”
15 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.
Meet liki safla pre lal, Rebecca el sikla, us sufa in ut kof soko finpisal. El acn natul Bethuel, su wen natul Nahor ac Milcah. Nahor el tamulel lal Abraham.
16 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.
El mutan fusr na kato se su soenna etu mwet. El tufokla nu ke lufin kof sac, nwakla sufa lal, ac foloko.
17 The servant ran to meet her, and said, “Please give me a drink, a little water from your pitcher.”
Mwet kulansap sac kasrusr nu yorol ac fahk, “Nunak munas, ase ngan nimya kof in sufa nimom an.”
18 She said, “Drink, my lord.” She hurried, and let down her pitcher on her hand, and gave him a drink.
Mutan fusr sac fahk, “Mwet kacto, nimya.” Ac el sulaklak na sruhkya sufa lal nu ten liki finpisal, ac sruokya ke mwet kulansap sac nim.
19 When she had finished giving him a drink, she said, “I will also draw for your camels, until they have finished drinking.”
Ke el nim tari, mutan sac fahk, “Kolya ngan utiya pac kof nimen camel nutum inge, ac sang eltal in nim na ke kuiyaltal.”
20 She hurried, and emptied her pitcher into the trough, and ran again to the well to draw, and drew for all his camels.
Mutan sac el kina okoala sufa in kof sac nu in mwe nim kof lun kosro uh, ac kasrusr nu ke lufin kof ah in sifilpa ut kof, nwe ke na el kiteya nufonna camel nutin mukul sac.
21 The man looked steadfastly at her, remaining silent, to know whether the LORD had made his journey prosperous or not.
Mukul sac tia kas, a el tuni na mutan fusr sac in liye lah LEUM GOD El akwoye ouiyen fahsr lal.
22 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,
Ke camel ah nim kof tari, na mwet kulansap sac srukak ring gold na yohk molo se ac sang nu ke infwen mutan fusr sac, ac sang pac lohlpo gold luo nu ke paol.
23 and said, “Whose daughter are you? Please tell me. Is there room in your father’s house for us to stay?”
Ac el fahk, “Nunak munas fahk nu sik lah su papa tomom uh. Ya mwesas lohm sel ah nu sik ac mwet luk inge in mongla we ofong?”
24 She said to him, “I am the daughter of Bethuel the son of Milcah, whom she bore to Nahor.”
Na mutan sac fahk, “Papa tumuk pa Bethuel, wen natul Nahor ac Milcah.
25 She said moreover to him, “We have both straw and feed enough, and room to lodge in.”
Pukanten mah pao ac mongo nun kosro lohm ah, ac mwesas pac lohm ah kowos in mongla we.”
26 The man bowed his head, and worshiped the LORD.
Na mwet kulansap sac sikukmutunte ac alu nu sin LEUM GOD.
27 He said, “Blessed be the LORD, the God of my master Abraham, who has not forsaken his loving kindness and his truth toward my master. As for me, the LORD has led me on the way to the house of my master’s relatives.”
El fahk, “Kaksakin LEUM GOD, God lal Abraham, leum luk, su oaru in akpwayei wuleang lal nu sin leum luk. LEUM GOD El aksuwoswosye fahsr luk nu yurin sou lun leum luk.”
28 The young lady ran, and told her mother’s house about these words.
Mutan fusr sac kasrusr nu lohm sin nina kial, ac srumun ma inge nukewa nu sel.
29 Rebekah had a brother, and his name was Laban. Laban ran out to the man, to the spring.
Oasr tamulel se lal Rebecca pangpang Laban, ac el kasrusr som nu ke lufin kof sac, nu yen mwet kulansap lal Abraham el muta we.
30 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.
Laban el tuh liye ring nu infwac se ac lohlpo ke poun tamtael lal, ac lohng pac ke mutan sac fahkak ma mwet kulansap sac fahk nu sel. El som nu yurin mwet kulansap lal Abraham, su tu sisken camel natul pe lufin kof sac,
31 He said, “Come in, you blessed of the LORD. Why do you stand outside? For I have prepared the house, and room for the camels.”
ac fahk, “Fahsru wiyu nu lohm ah. Kom sie mwet su LEUM GOD El akinsewowoye. Efu kom ku tu na inge? Oasr acn akola nu sum lohm ah, ac oasr pac acn nu sin camel nutum an.”
32 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.
Ouinge mukul sac som nu lohm sac, ac Laban el tella ma fin camel ah, ac sang mah pao ac mongo nalos. Na el use kof nu yurin mwet kulansap lal Abraham ac mwet lal, in ohlla nialos.
33 Food was set before him to eat, but he said, “I will not eat until I have told my message.” Laban said, “Speak on.”
Ke mongo uh utuku, mukul sac fahk, “Nga koflana eis mwe kasru inge nwe ke na nga fahkak sripen tuku luk uh.” Laban el fahk, “Srumun ma kom ac fahk an.”
34 He said, “I am Abraham’s servant.
Na el fahk, “Nga mwet kulansap lal Abraham.
35 The LORD has blessed my master greatly. He has become great. The LORD has given him flocks and herds, silver and gold, male servants and female servants, and camels and donkeys.
LEUM GOD El arulana akinsewowoye leum luk, oru el arulana kasrup. El sang nu sel un kosro puspis ke sheep, nani, cow, camel ac donkey, oayapa silver, gold, ac mwet kulansap mukul ac mutan.
36 Sarah, my master’s wife, bore a son to my master when she was old. He has given all that he has to him.
Sarah, mutan kien leum luk, el oswela wen se nu sel ke el arulana matu, ac leum luk el sang ma lal nukewa nu sin wen sac tuh in ma lal.
37 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,
Leum luk el sap nga orala sie wuleang na ku se in akos ma el sapkin. El fahk, ‘Nimet sulela mutan kien wen nutik inmasrlon mutan in acn Canaan.
38 but you shall go to my father’s house, and to my relatives, and take a wife for my son.’
A som nu yurin mwet lun papa tumuk ac sou luk, ac sulela sie mutan ah kial we.’
39 I asked my master, ‘What if the woman will not follow me?’
Ac nga siyuk sin leum luk, ‘Ac mutan sac fin tia lungse wiyu tuku?’
40 He said to me, ‘The LORD, 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.
El topukyu ac fahk, ‘LEUM GOD su nga akos pacl nukewa, El ac fah supu lipufan lal in wi kom, ac sot wo ouiya nu sum. Kom fah eis sie mutan ah kien wen nutik inmasrlon mwet luk ac sou lun papa tumuk.
41 Then you will be clear from my oath, when you come to my relatives. If they do not give her to you, you shall be clear from my oath.’
Ma sefanna ac ku in aksukosokye kom liki wuleang se lom inge pa kom fin som nu yurin sou luk tuh elos tia lohng siyuk lom.’
42 I came today to the spring, and said, ‘The LORD, the God of my master Abraham, if now you do prosper my way which I go—
“Ke nga tuku sun lufin kof sac misenge, nga pre ac fahk, ‘LEUM GOD lal Abraham leum luk, nunak munas ase wo ouiya nu ke ma nga fahsr kac uh.
43 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,”
Nga pa inge ke lufin kof uh. Ke pacl se sie mutan fusr ac tuku in ut kof uh, na nga ac siyuk sel elan ase kof ngan nimya liki sufa lal.
44 then she tells me, “Drink, and I will also draw for your camels,”—let her be the woman whom the LORD has appointed for my master’s son.’
El fin etaten ac kiteyu kof, ac oayapa siyuk elan use kof nimen camel nutik uh, lela in el pa mutan se kom sulela tuh in mutan kien wen nutin leum luk!’
45 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.’
Meet liki nga aksafyela pre lun insiuk, Rebecca el sikla us sufa in ut kof soko finpisal, ac oatui nu ke lufin kof sac in ut kof. Nga fahk nu sel, ‘Nunak munas, se ngan nimya.’
46 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.
El kina eisya sufa sac liki finpisal ac fahk, ‘Nimya, ac nga ac fah sang pac kof nimen camel nutum uh.’ Ouinge nga nimya, ac el kiteya pac camel ah.
47 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.
Nga siyuk sel, ‘Su papa tomom uh?’ Ac el topuk, ‘Papa tumuk pa Bethuel, wen natul Nahor ac Milcah.’ Na nga sang ring se nu ke fwacl ac lohlpo luo nu ke paol.
48 I bowed my head, and worshiped the LORD, and blessed the LORD, 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.
Nga sikukmutunte ac alu nu sin LEUM GOD. Nga kaksakin LEUM GOD lal Abraham leum luk, su kolyume na nwe yurin sou lun leum luk, yen su nga konauk mutan fusr se natulos tuh in ma kien wen nutin leum luk.
49 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.”
Inge, komtal fin akola in oru ip lomtal nu sin leum luk ac insese nu ke siyuk lal uh, na komtal nunak munas fahk nu sik. Ac fin tia, fahk pac, tuh nga in sulela lah mea nga ac oru.”
50 Then Laban and Bethuel answered, “The thing proceeds from the LORD. We cannot speak to you bad or good.
Na Laban ac Bethuel topuk ac fahk, “Ke sripen ma inge ma sin LEUM GOD me uh, wanginna ma kut ac fahk.
51 Behold, Rebekah is before you. Take her, and go, and let her be your master’s son’s wife, as the LORD has spoken.”
Rebecca el a inge. Usal ac som. Lela tuh elan mutan kien wen nutin leum lom, in oana ke LEUM GOD El fahk.”
52 When Abraham’s servant heard their words, he bowed himself down to the earth to the LORD.
Pacl se mwet kulansap lal Abraham el lohng ma inge, el faksufi ac alu nu sin LEUM GOD.
53 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.
Na el tella nuknuk ac silver ac mwe yun gold, ac sang nu sel Rebecca. El oayapa sang mwe kite yohk molo nu sin tamulel lal ac nu sin nina kial.
54 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.”
Na mwet kulansap lal Abraham ac mwet welul elos mongoi ac motulla we ke fong sac. Ke elos tukakek ke lotu se tok ah, mwet kulansap sac fahk, “Nunak munas, filikutla in folokla nu yurin leum luk.”
55 Her brother and her mother said, “Let the young lady stay with us a few days, at least ten. After that she will go.”
Tusruktu tamulel lal Rebecca ac nina kial eltal fahk, “Mea, Rebecca el tia ku in mutawin len singoul ma yorosr, na el fah wi kom som?”
56 He said to them, “Do not hinder me, since the LORD has prospered my way. Send me away that I may go to my master.”
A el fahk, “Nikmet ikol kut in sifilpa muta. LEUM GOD El akwoye fahsr se luk inge. Fuhlela nga in tari folokla nu yurin mwet kacto luk.”
57 They said, “We will call the young lady, and ask her.”
Ac elos fahk, “Pangnolma Rebecca, kut in lohng lah mea el ac fahk.”
58 They called Rebekah, and said to her, “Will you go with this man?” She said, “I will go.”
Ouinge elos pangnolma Rebecca ac siyuk, “Kom lungse wi mwet se inge som?” Ac el fahk, “Aok.”
59 They sent away Rebekah, their sister, with her nurse, Abraham’s servant, and his men.
Ke ma inge elos fuhlella Rebecca ac mutan kulansap se ma liyalang ke pacl el tulik ah yak, in wi mwet kulansap lal Abraham ac mwet lal ah som.
60 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.”
Ac elos akinsewowoyal Rebecca ac fahk, “Lela tuh kom, tamtael wiasr, in nina kien million! Ac fwilin tulik nutum in kutangla siti lun mwet lokoalok lalos!”
61 Rebekah arose with her ladies. They rode on the camels, and followed the man. The servant took Rebekah, and went his way.
Na Rebecca ac mutan fusr kulansap lal elos akola ac sroang nu fin camel uh in wi mwet kulansap lal Abraham. Na elos nukewa mukuiyak som.
62 Isaac came from the way of Beer Lahai Roi, for he lived in the land of the South.
Isaac el tuku nu in acn turangang se ke “Lufin Kof Lun El Su Moul Ac Liyeyu,” ac el muta layen eir ke sie ipin acn Canaan.
63 Isaac went out to meditate in the field at the evening. He lifted up his eyes and looked. Behold, there were camels coming.
Ke tufahna ekela el illa ac fufahsryesr in polo acn sac, ac liyauk kutu camel fahfahsru.
64 Rebekah lifted up her eyes, and when she saw Isaac, she got off the camel.
Ke Rebecca el liyalak Isaac, el fani liki camel el muta fac
65 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.
ac siyuk sin mwet kulansap lal Abraham, “Su mwet se fahsru nu yorosr ingo?” Na mwet kulansap sac topuk, “Pa ingo leum se luk uh.” Ouinge Rebecca el srukak nuknuk in afyuf lal ac sunya mutal.
66 The servant told Isaac all the things that he had done.
Mwet kulansap sac srumunang nu sel Isaac ma nukewa el tuh oru.
67 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.
Na Isaac el usalak Rebecca nu in lohm nuknuk se ma Sarah nina kial ah tuh muta we, ac el payukyak sel. Lungse lal Isaac nu sel Rebecca akwoyela asor lal ke wanginla lun nina kial.
