< Genesis 24 >

1 Now Abraham was old; and advanced in age: and the Lord had blessed him in all things.
Abrahamu sì ti di arúgbó ní àkókò yìí, Olúwa sì ti bùkún fún un ni gbogbo ọ̀nà,
2 And he said to the elder servant of his house, who was ruler over all he had: Put thy hand under my thigh,
Abrahamu wí fún olórí àwọn ìránṣẹ́ ilẹ̀ rẹ̀, tí ó jẹ́ alábojútó ohun gbogbo tí ó ní pé, “Fi ọwọ́ rẹ sí abẹ́ itan mi.
3 That I may make thee swear by the Lord the God of heaven and earth, that thou take not a wife for my son, of the daughters of the Chanaanites, among whom I dwell:
Èmi yóò mú ọ búra lórúkọ Olúwa Ọlọ́run ọ̀run àti ayé, pé, ìwọ kì yóò fẹ́ aya fún ọmọ mi nínú àwọn ọmọbìnrin ará Kenaani, láàrín àwọn ẹni tí èmi ń gbé.
4 But that thou go to my own country and kindred, and take a wife from thence for my son Isaac.
Ṣùgbọ́n, ìwọ yóò lọ sí orílẹ̀-èdè mi, láàrín àwọn ará mi láti fẹ́ aya fún Isaaki, ọmọ mi.”
5 The servant answered: If the woman will not come with me into this land, must I bring thy son back again to the place, from whence thou camest out?
Ìránṣẹ́ náà bi í wí pé, “Ǹjẹ́ bí ọmọbìnrin náà bá kọ̀ láti bá mi wá sí ilẹ̀ yìí ń kọ́? Ǹjẹ́ mo lè mú ọmọ rẹ padà lọ sí orílẹ̀-èdè níbi tí ìwọ ti wá?”
6 And Abraham said: Beware thou never bring my son back again thither.
Abrahamu sì wí fún un pé, “Rí i dájú pé ìwọ kò mú ọmọ mi padà lọ sí ibẹ̀.”
7 The Lord God of heaven, who took me out of my father’s house, and out of my native country, who spoke to me, and swore to me, saying: To thy seed will I give this land: he will send his angel before thee, and thou shalt take from thence a wife for my son.
“Olúwa, Ọlọ́run ọ̀run tí ó mú mi jáde láti ilẹ̀ baba mi àti ní ilẹ̀ tí a bí mi, tí ó bá mi sọ̀rọ̀ tí ó sì búra fún mi pé, ‘Irú-ọmọ rẹ ni n ó fi ilẹ̀ yìí fún,’ yóò rán angẹli rẹ̀ ṣáájú rẹ, kí ìwọ kí ó lè rí aya fẹ́ wá fún ọmọ mi láti ibẹ̀.
8 But if the woman will not follow thee, thou shalt not be bound by the oath; only bring not my son back thither again.
Bí obìnrin náà kò bá fẹ́ tẹ̀lé ọ wá, nígbà náà ni a tú ọ sílẹ̀ kúrò nínú ìbúra yìí, ṣùgbọ́n pàtàkì ni pé ìwọ kò gbọdọ̀ mú ọmọ mi padà lọ sí ibẹ̀.”
9 The servant therefore put his hand under the thigh of Abraham his lord, and swore to him upon this word.
Ìránṣẹ́ náà sì fi ọwọ́ rẹ̀ sí abẹ́ itan Abrahamu olúwa rẹ̀, ó sì búra fún nítorí ọ̀rọ̀ náà.
10 And he took ten camels of his master’s herd, and departed, carrying something of all his goods with him, and he set forward and went on to Mesopotamia to the city of Nachor.
Ìránṣẹ́ náà sì mú ìbákasẹ mẹ́wàá, pẹ̀lú onírúurú ohun dáradára láti ọ̀dọ̀ olúwa rẹ̀, ó sì dìde ó sì lọ sí Aramu-Naharaimu, sí ìlú Nahori,
11 And when he had made the camels lie down without the town near a well of water in the evening, at the time when women are wont to come out to draw water, he said:
ó sì mú àwọn ìbákasẹ náà kúnlẹ̀ nítòsí kànga lẹ́yìn ìlú, ó ti ń di ọwọ́ ìrọ̀lẹ́ ní àkókò tí àwọn obìnrin máa ń lọ pọn omi.
12 O Lord the God of my master Abraham, meet me today, I beseech thee, and show kindness to my master Abraham.
Ó sì gbàdúrà wí pé, “Olúwa, Ọlọ́run Abrahamu olúwa à mi; jẹ́ kí n ṣe àṣeyọrí lónìí, sì fi àánú hàn fún Abrahamu olúwa mi.
13 Behold I stand nigh the spring of water, and the daughters of the inhabitants of this city will come out to draw water.
Kíyèsi i, mo dúró ní ẹ̀bá kànga omi yìí, àwọn ọmọbìnrin ìlú yìí sì ń jáde wá pọn omi.
14 Now, therefore, the maid to whom I shall say: Let down thy pitcher that I may drink: and she shall answer, Drink, and I will give thy camels drink also: let it be the same whom thou hast provided for thy servant Isaac: and by this I shall understand, that thou hast shown kindness to my master.
Jẹ́ kí ó ṣe pé nígbà tí mo bá wí fún ọ̀kan nínú àwọn ọmọbìnrin pe, ‘Jọ̀wọ́ sọ ládugbó rẹ kalẹ̀, kí n le mu omi,’ tí ó bá sì wí pé, ‘Mu ún, èmi ó sì fún àwọn ìbákasẹ rẹ náà mu pẹ̀lú,’ jẹ́ kí ó ṣe èyí tí o yàn fún ìránṣẹ́ rẹ Isaaki. Nípa èyí ni n ó fi mọ̀ pé o ti fi àánú hàn fún olúwa mi.”
15 He had not yet ended these words within himself, and behold Rebecca came out, the daughter of Bathuel, son of Melcha, wife to Nachor the brother of Abraham, having a pitcher on her shoulder:
Kí o tó di pé, ó parí àdúrà, Rebeka dé pẹ̀lú ìkòkò omi rẹ̀ ní èjìká rẹ̀. Ọmọ Betueli ni. Betueli yìí ni Milka bí fún Nahori arákùnrin Abrahamu.
16 An exceeding comely maid, and a most beautiful virgin, and not known to man: and she went down to the spring, and filled her pitcher and was coming back.
Ọmọbìnrin náà rẹwà, wúńdíá ni, kò sì tí ì mọ ọkùnrin, ó lọ sí ibi ìsun omi náà, ó sì pọn omi sínú ìkòkò omi, ó sì gbé e, ó ń gòkè bọ̀ kúrò níbi omi.
17 And the servant ran to meet her, and said: Give me a little water to drink of thy pitcher.
Ìránṣẹ́ náà súré lọ pàdé rẹ̀, ó sì wí fun un pé, “Jọ̀wọ́ fún mi ni omi díẹ̀ nínú ìkòkò omi rẹ.”
18 And she answered: Drink, my lord. And quickly she let down the pitcher upon her arm, and gave him drink.
Òun náà dáhùn pé, “Mu, olúwa mi,” ó sì yára sọ ìkòkò omi náà ka ọwọ́ rẹ̀, ó sì fún un mu.
19 And when he had drunk, she said: I will draw water for thy camels also, till they all drink.
Lẹ́yìn tí ó ti fún un ni omi mu tán, ó wí pé, “Èmi ó bu omi fún àwọn ìbákasẹ rẹ pẹ̀lú títí wọn yóò fi mu àmutẹ́rùn.”
20 And pouring out the pitcher into the troughs, she ran back to the well to draw water: and having drawn she gave to all the camels.
Ó sì yára da omi inú ìkòkò omi rẹ̀ sínú ìbùmu, ó sáré padà lọ sí ibi omi láti pọn sí i wá fún àwọn ìbákasẹ, títí tí ó fi pọn fún gbogbo wọn.
21 But he musing beheld her with silence, desirous to know whether the Lord had made his journey prosperous or not.
Láìsọ ọ̀rọ̀ kan, ìránṣẹ́ yìí ń wo ọmọbìnrin náà fínní fínní láti mọ̀ bóyá Olúwa ti ṣe ìrìnàjò òun ní rere tàbí bẹ́ẹ̀ kọ́.
22 And after that the camels had drunk, the man took out golden earrings, weighing two sicles: and as many bracelets of ten sicles weight.
Lẹ́yìn tí àwọn ìbákasẹ náà ti mu omi tán, ni ọkùnrin náà mú òrùka wúrà ààbọ̀ ìwọ̀n ṣékélì àti júfù méjì fún ọwọ́ rẹ̀, tí ìwọ̀n ṣékélì wúrà mẹ́wàá.
23 And he said to her: Whose daughter art thou? tell me: is there any place in thy father’s house to lodge?
Lẹ́yìn náà, ó béèrè pé, “Ọmọ ta ni ìwọ í ṣe? Jọ̀wọ́ wí fún mi, ǹjẹ́ ààyè wà ní ilé baba rẹ láti wọ̀ sí ní alẹ́ yìí?”
24 And she answered: I am the daughter of Bathuel, the son of Melcha, whom she bore to Nachor.
Ó dáhùn pé, “Betueli ọmọ tí Milka bí fún Nahori ni baba mi.”
25 And she said moreover to him: We have good store of both straw and hay, and a large place to lodge in.
Ó sì fi kún un pé, “Àwa ní koríko àti ṣakaṣaka tó pẹ̀lú, àti ààyè láti wọ̀ sí.”
26 The man bowed himself down, and adored the Lord,
Nígbà náà ni ọkùnrin náà tẹríba, ó sì sin Olúwa,
27 Saying: Blessed be the Lord God of my master Abraham, who hath not taken away his mercy and truth from my master, and hath brought me the straight way into the house of my master’s brother.
wí pe, “Olùbùkún ni fún Olúwa, Ọlọ́run Abrahamu olúwa mi ti kò jẹ́ kí àánú àti òtítọ́ rẹ̀ kí ó yẹ̀ lọ́dọ̀ olúwa mi. Ní ti èmi Olúwa ti darí ìrìnàjò mi sí ilé ìbátan olúwa mi.”
28 Then the maid ran, and told in her mother’s house, all that she had heard.
Ọmọbìnrin náà sì sáré, ó sì lọ sọ ohun gbogbo wọ̀nyí fún àwọn ará ilé ìyá rẹ̀.
29 And Rebecca had a brother named Laban, who went out in haste to the man, to the well.
Rebeka ní arákùnrin tí ń jẹ́ Labani; Labani sì sáré lọ bá ọkùnrin náà ní etí odò.
30 And when he had seen the earrings and bracelets in his sister’s hands, and had heard all that she related, saying: Thus and thus the man spoke to me: he came to the man who stood by the camels, and near to the spring of water,
Bí ó sì ti rí òrùka imú àti ẹ̀gbà ní ọwọ́ arábìnrin rẹ̀ tí ó sì tún gbọ́ ohun tí Rebeka sọ pé ọkùnrin náà sọ fún òun, ó jáde lọ bá ọkùnrin náà, ó sì bá a, ó dúró ti ìbákasẹ wọ̀n-ọn-nì ní ẹ̀bá ìsun omi.
31 And said to him: Come in, thou blessed of the Lord: why standest thou without? I have prepared the house, and a place for the camels.
Ó wí fún ọkùnrin náà pé, “Wá, ìwọ ẹni ìbùkún Olúwa, èéṣe tí o dúró sí ìta níhìn-ín? Mo ti pèsè ààyè sílẹ̀ fún ọ àti ààyè fún àwọn ìbákasẹ rẹ.”
32 And he brought him in into his lodging: and he unharnessed the camels and gave straw and hay, and water to wash his feet, and the feet of the men that were come with him.
Ọkùnrin náà sì bá Labani lọ ilé, ó sì tú ẹrù orí ìbákasẹ rẹ̀ sílẹ̀, ó sì fún wọn ni koríko àti oúnjẹ. Ó sì bu omi fún ọkùnrin náà àti àwọn arákùnrin rẹ̀ láti wẹ ẹsẹ̀ wọn.
33 And bread was set before him. But he said: I will not eat, till I tell my message. He answered him: Speak.
Wọ́n sì gbé oúnjẹ síwájú rẹ̀, ṣùgbọ́n, ó wí pé, “Èmi kò ní jẹun àyàfi bí mo bá sọ ohun tí mo ní í sọ.” Labani sì wí pé, “Kò burú, sọ ọ́.”
34 And he said: I am the servant of Abraham:
Nítorí náà, ó wí pé, “Ìránṣẹ́ Abrahamu ni èmi.
35 And the Lord hath blessed my master wonderfully, and he is become great: and he hath given him sheep and oxen, silver and gold, men servants and women servants, camels and asses.
Olúwa sì ti bùkún olúwa mi gidigidi. Ó sì ti di ọlọ́rọ̀, Ó sì ti fún un ní àgùntàn, màlúù, àti fàdákà àti wúrà, ìránṣẹ́kùnrin àti ìránṣẹ́bìnrin àti ìbákasẹ àti kẹ́tẹ́kẹ́tẹ́.
36 And Sara my master’s wife hath borne my master a son in her old age, and he hath given him all that he had.
Sara aya olúwa mi sì ti bí ọmọkùnrin kan fún un, ní ìgbà ogbó rẹ̀, olúwa mi sì ti fún ọmọ náà ní ohun gbogbo tí ó ní.
37 And my master made me swear, saying: Thou shalt not take a wife for my son of the Chanaanites, in whose land I dwell:
Olúwa mi sì ti mú mi búra wí pé, ‘Ìwọ kò gbọdọ̀ fẹ́ aya fún ọmọ mi, láàrín àwọn ọmọbìnrin Kenaani, ní ilẹ̀ ibi tí èmi ń gbé,
38 But thou shalt go to my father’s house, and shalt take a wife of my own kindred for my son:
ṣùgbọ́n lọ sí ìdílé baba mi láàrín àwọn ìbátan mi kí o sì fẹ́ aya fún ọmọ mi.’
39 But I answered my master: What if the woman will not come with me?
“Mo sì bí olúwa mi léèrè pé, ‘Ǹjẹ́ bí ọmọbìnrin náà kò bá fẹ́ bá mi wá ń kọ́?’
40 The Lord, said he, in whose sight I walk, will send his angel with thee, and will direct thy way: and thou shalt take a wife for my son of my own kindred, and of my father’s house.
“Ó sì dáhùn wí pé, ‘Olúwa, níwájú ẹni tí èmi ń rìn yóò rán Angẹli rẹ̀ ṣáájú rẹ yóò sì jẹ́ kí o ṣe àṣeyọrí ní ìrìnàjò rẹ, kí ìwọ kí ó ba le fẹ́ aya fún ọmọ mi, láàrín àwọn ìbátan mi, àti láàrín àwọn ìdílé baba mi.
41 But thou shalt be clear from my curse, when thou shalt come to my kindred, if they will not give thee one.
Nígbà tí ìwọ bá lọ sí ọ̀dọ̀ ìdílé baba mi (gẹ́gẹ́ bí mo tí wí), nígbà náà ni ìwọ tó bọ́ nínú ìbúra yìí.’
42 And I came today to the well of water, and said: O Lord God of my master Abraham, if thou hast prospered my way, wherein I now walk,
“Nígbà tí mo dé ibi ìsun omi lónìí, mo wí pé, ‘Olúwa Ọlọ́run Abrahamu olúwa mi, bí ìwọ bá fẹ́, jọ̀wọ́ jẹ́ kí n ṣe àṣeyọrí lórí ohun tí mo bá wá yìí.
43 Behold I stand by the well of water, and the virgin, that shall come out to draw water, who shall hear me say: Give me a little water to drink of thy pitcher:
Wò ó, mo dúró ní ẹ̀bá ìsun omi yìí, kí ó ṣe pé, nígbà tí wúńdíá kan bá jáde wá pọn omi, tí èmi sì wí fún un pé, “Jọ̀wọ́ fún mi ní ìwọ̀nba omi díẹ̀ mu nínú ládugbó rẹ,”
44 And shall say to me: Both drink thou, and I will also draw for thy camels: let the same be the woman, whom the Lord hath prepared for my master’s son.
tí ó bá sì wí fún mi pé, “Mu ún, èmi yóò sì tún pọn omi fún àwọn ìbákasẹ rẹ pẹ̀lú,” jẹ́ kí ẹni náà jẹ́ ẹni tí Olúwa yàn fún ọmọ Abrahamu, olúwa mi.’
45 And whilst I pondered these things secretly with myself, Rebecca appeared coming with a pitcher, which she carried on her shoulder: and she went down to the well and drew water. And I said to her: Give me a little to drink.
“Kí n sì tó gbàdúrà tán nínú ọkàn mi, Rebeka jáde wá pẹ̀lú ìkòkò omi rẹ̀ ní èjìká rẹ̀, ó sì lọ sí ibi ìsun omi ó sì pọn omi. Mo sì wí fun un pé, ‘Jọ̀wọ́ fún mi ni omi mu.’
46 And she speedily let down the pitcher from her shoulder, and said to me: Both drink thou, and to thy camels I will give drink. I drank, and she watered the camels.
“Kíákíá ni ó sọ ìkòkò rẹ̀ kalẹ̀ láti èjìká rẹ̀, ó sì wí fún mi pé, ‘Mu ún, èmi yóò sì tún fún àwọn ìbákasẹ rẹ mu pẹ̀lú.’ Mo sì mu, ó sì tún fún àwọn ìbákasẹ mi mu pẹ̀lú.
47 And I asked her, and said: Whose daughter art thou? And she answered: I am the daughter of Bathuel, the son of Nachor, whom Melcha bore to him. So I put earrings on her to adorn her face, and I put bracelets on her hands.
“Mo béèrè lọ́wọ́ rẹ̀ pé, ‘Ọmọ ta ní ìwọ í ṣe?’ “Ó sì wí fún mi pé, ‘Ọmọbìnrin Betueli tí í ṣe ọmọ Nahori ni òun, Milka sì ni ìyá òun.’ “Nígbà náà ni mo fi òrùka náà bọ imú rẹ̀, mo sì fi ẹ̀gbà ọwọ́ náà si ní ọwọ́.
48 And falling down I adored the Lord, blessing the Lord God of my master Abraham, who hath brought me the straight way to take the daughter of my master’s brother for his son.
Èmi sì tẹríba, mo sì wólẹ̀ fún Olúwa, mó sì fi ìbùkún fún Ọlọ́run Abrahamu olúwa mi, ẹni tí ó mú mi tọ ọ̀nà títọ́ láti rí ọmọ ọmọ arákùnrin olúwa mi mú wá fún ọmọ rẹ̀.
49 Wherefore if you do according to mercy and truth with my master, tell me: but if it please you otherwise, tell me that also, that I may go to the right hand, or to the left.
Ǹjẹ́ nísinsin yìí bí ẹ̀yin yóò bá fi inú rere àti òtítọ́ bá olúwa mi lò, ẹ sọ fún mi, bí bẹ́ẹ̀ sì kọ́, ẹ sọ fún mi, kí ń le è mọ ọ̀nà tí èmi yóò yà sí.”
50 And Laban and Bathuel answered: The word hath proceeded from the Lord, we cannot speak any other thing to thee but his pleasure.
Labani àti Betueli sì dáhùn pé, “Lọ́dọ̀ Olúwa ni èyí ti wá, nítorí náà àwa kò le sọ rere tàbí búburú fún ọ.
51 Behold Rebecca is before thee, take her and go thy way, and let her be the wife of thy master’s son, as the Lord hath spoken.
Rebeka nìyí, mú un kí ó máa lọ, kí ó sì di aya ọmọ olúwa à rẹ, bí Olúwa ti fẹ́.”
52 Which when Abraham’s servant heard, falling down to the ground he adored the Lord.
Nígbà tí ọmọ ọ̀dọ̀ Abrahamu gbọ́ ohun tí wọ́n wí, ó wólẹ̀ níwájú Olúwa.
53 And bringing forth vessels of silver and gold, and garments, he gave them to Rebecca for a present. He offered gifts also to her brothers, and to her mother.
Nígbà náà ni ó kó ohun èlò wúrà àti fàdákà jáde àti aṣọ, ó sì fi wọ́n fún Rebeka, ó fún arákùnrin Rebeka àti ìyá rẹ̀ ní ẹ̀bùn olówó iyebíye pẹ̀lú.
54 And a banquet was made, and they ate and drank together, and lodged there. And in the morning, the servant arose, and said: Let me depart, that I may go to my master.
Lẹ́yìn náà ni òun àti àwọn ọkùnrin tí ó bá a wá tó jẹ, tí wọ́n sì mu, tí wọn sì sùn níbẹ̀ ní òru ọjọ́ náà. Bí wọ́n ti dìde ní òwúrọ̀ ọjọ́ kejì, ó wí pé, “Ẹ rán mi padà lọ sí ọ̀dọ̀ olúwa mi.”
55 And her brother and mother answered: Let the maid stay at least ten days with us, and afterwards she shall depart.
Ṣùgbọ́n arákùnrin Rebeka àti ìyá rẹ̀ fèsì pé, “A fẹ́ kí Rebeka wà pẹ̀lú wa fún nǹkan bí ọjọ́ mẹ́wàá sí i, lẹ́yìn èyí, ìwọ le máa mu lọ.”
56 Stay me not, said he, because the Lord hath prospered my way: send me away, that I may go to my master.
Ṣùgbọ́n ó wí fún wọn pé, “Ẹ má ṣe dá mi dúró, Olúwa sá à ti ṣe ọ̀nà mi ní rere. Ẹ rán mi lọ, kí èmi kí ó le è tọ olúwa à mi lọ.”
57 And they said: Let us call the maid, and ask her will.
Nígbà náà ni wọ́n sọ pé, “Jẹ́ kí a pe ọmọ náà gan an kí a sì bi í.”
58 And they called her, and when she was come, they asked: Wilt thou go with this man? She said: I will go.
Wọ́n sì pe Rebeka wọ́n sì bi í, wí pé, “Ṣe ìwọ yóò bá ọkùnrin yìí lọ.” Ó sì dáhùn pé, “Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni, èmi yóò lọ.”
59 So they sent her away, and her nurse, and Abraham’s servant, and his company,
Wọ́n sì gbà kí Rebeka àti olùtọ́jú rẹ̀, pẹ̀lú ìránṣẹ́ Abrahamu àti àwọn ọkùnrin tí ó wà pẹ̀lú rẹ̀ máa lọ.
60 Wishing prosperity to their sister, and saying: Thou art our sister, mayst thou increase to thousands of thousands, and may thy seed possess the gates of their enemies.
Wọ́n sì súre fún Rebeka, wọn sì wí fun un pé, “Ìwọ ni arábìnrin wa ìwọ yóò di ìyá ẹgbẹ̀rún lọ́nà ẹgbẹ̀rún; ǹjẹ́ kí àwọn irú-ọmọ rẹ kí ó ni ẹnu ibodè ọ̀tá wọn.”
61 So Rebecca and her maids, being set upon camels, followed the man: who with speed returned to his master.
Nígbà náà ni Rebeka àti àwọn ìránṣẹ́bìnrin rẹ̀ múra, wọn sì gun àwọn ìbákasẹ, wọ́n sì bá ọkùnrin náà padà lọ. Ìránṣẹ́ náà sì mú Rebeka, ó sì bá tirẹ̀ lọ.
62 At the same time Isaac was walking along the way to the well which is called Of the living and the seeing: for he dwelt in the south country.
Isaaki sì ń ti ọ̀nà kànga Lahai-Roi bọ, nítorí ìhà gúúsù ni ó ń gbé.
63 And he was gone forth to meditate in the field, the day being now well spent: and when he had lifted up his eyes, he saw camels coming afar off.
Isaaki sì jáde lọ sí oko ni ìrọ̀lẹ́ láti ṣe àṣàrò, bí ó sì ti gbé ojú sókè, ó rí àwọn ìbákasẹ tí ń bọ̀ wá.
64 Rebecca also, when she saw Isaac, lighted off the camel,
Rebeka pẹ̀lú sì gbójú sókè, ó sì rí Isaaki. Ó sọ̀kalẹ̀ lórí ìbákasẹ,
65 And said to the servant: Who is that man who cometh towards us along the field? And he said to her: That man is my master. But she quickly took her cloak, and covered herself.
ó sì béèrè lọ́wọ́ ìránṣẹ́ náà wí pé, “Ta ni ọkùnrin tí ń bọ̀ wá pàdé wa láti inú oko?” Ìránṣẹ́ náà sì wí fun un pé, “Olúwa mi ni,” nítorí náà ni Rebeka mú ìbòjú, ó sì bo ojú rẹ̀.
66 And the servant told Isaac all that he had done.
Nígbà náà ni ìránṣẹ́ náà ròyìn fún Isaaki ohun gbogbo tí ó ti ṣe.
67 Who brought her into the tent of Sara his mother, and took her to wife: and he loved her so much, that it moderated the sorrow which was occasioned by his mother’s death.
Nígbà náà ni Isaaki mú Rebeka wọ inú àgọ́ ìyá rẹ̀, Sara, ó sì di aya rẹ̀, ó sì fẹ́ràn rẹ̀; ó sì jẹ́ ìtùnú fún Isaaki lẹ́yìn ikú ìyá rẹ̀.
