Genesis 24
1 And Abraham was old, [and] well stricken in age: and the LORD had blessed Abraham in all things.
Abraham chu akum ahung tam lheh tan Pathenin hatah in anatoh na jouse ah phatthei aboh sohkeiye.
2 And Abraham said unto his servant, the elder of his house, that ruled over all that he had, Put, I pray thee, thy hand under my thigh:
Chuin Abraham'in nikhat chu asohte lah a atahpen insung vaihom pa heng ah hitin aseiye, “Nakhut chu kaphei noiya koiyin lang naki hahsel ding ahi.”
3 and I will make thee swear by the LORD, the God of heaven and the God of the earth, that thou shalt not take a wife for my son of the daughters of the Canaanites, among whom I dwell:
Chuteng le Pakai van le leiset sempa min in ki hahsel in hichu nangman kamou ding hi Canaan gamsung tu a ichen nao muna konna hi nahin puilou ding ahi.
4 but thou shalt go unto my country, and to my kindred, and take a wife for my son Isaac.
Hinlah nangma che inlang keima um nalui gam ka sopi holah a Isaac ji ding naga pui peh ding ahi ati.
5 And the servant said unto him, Peradventure the woman will not be willing to follow me unto this land: must I needs bring thy son again unto the land from whence thou camest?
Sohpan Abraham adonbut'in “Ijemtin numeinu chu keiho toh hiche gam'a kanung hinjui ding da tale ikalo ding hitam? Ahiloule keiman nachapa Isaac hi nangma hung kondoh na gam a chu kanung puikit thei ding ham?” ati.
6 And Abraham said unto him, Beware thou that thou bring not my son thither again.
Abraham'in adonbut'in “hoitah in gelchen in lang ka chapa vang kholam a patna na hin nung pui lou beh ding ahi.”
7 The LORD, the God of heaven, that took me from my father’s house, and from the land of my nativity, and that spake unto me, and that sware unto me, saying, Unto thy seed will I give this land; he shall send his angel before thee, and thou shalt take a wife for my son from thence.
Pakai van Pathen kanam mite le kapa insunga kona eipui dohpa, ka penna gam'a patna eihin puidoh pan kitepna aneiyin hitin eina seipeh e, nangma chilhah te hiche gamhi kapeh ding na hiuve.
8 And if the woman be not willing to follow thee, then thou shalt be clear from this my oath; only thou shalt not bring my son thither again.
Hinlah numeinu chun na hinyui nomlou le nangma keima dan kitepna a kona ongthol na hitai, thil khat chu ahile ka chapa hilanga kon chun nahin nungpui lou ding ahi.”
9 And the servant put his hand under the thigh of Abraham his master, and sware to him concerning this matter.
Hichu Abraham sohpan apu Abraham malnoiya akhut akoiyin apun ahilna thudol ahin aki hahsel tai.
10 And the servant took ten camels, of the camels of his master, and departed; having all goodly things of his master’s in his hand: and he arose, and went to Mesopotamia, unto the city of Nahor.
Hichun asohpa chun sangongsao som apupa Abraham kom ah alan thil mantam ajat jat apon Mesopotamia lama Nahor khopi jon din ache tai.
11 And he made the camels to kneel down without the city by the well of water at the time of evening, the time that women go out to draw water.
Aman sangongsao ho chu twi veina kotong koma khopi pam a akichol sah in nilhah langkai ahiphat in numei ho chu twi khai dingin ahung potdoh'un ahi.
12 And he said, O LORD, the God of my master Abraham, send me, I pray thee, good speed this day, and shew kindness unto my master Abraham.
Chuin Abraham sohpa chun, “O Pakai kapu Abraham Pathen, tunia neipi lhin sah na dingin na-angsunga kataove, kapu Abraham dingin khoto na hinneiyin.”
13 Behold, I stand by the fountain of water; and the daughters of the men of the city come out to draw water:
Vetan keima hiche twikhuh phunga hin kadinge, chule hiche khopi sunga miho chanute twi khaiya hung ding ahiuve.
14 and let it come to pass, that the damsel to whom I shall say, Let down thy pitcher, I pray thee, that I may drink; and she shall say, Drink, and I will give thy camels drink also: let the same be she that thou hast appointed for thy servant Isaac; and thereby shall I know that thou hast shewed kindness unto my master.
Hichehi kangai chat ahi. Alah uva khatpen pen chu kadoh ding, lungset tah in nakhon a twi chu neidon sahin. Amanun hitia hi ahin donbut leh, heng'e, donin, chule na sangongsao ho jong keiman hin donsah ing'e! Hiche nu chu nangman Isaac inneipi a dinga nalhen doh hiding ahi. Hiche akon a chu keiman ichan geiya kapu chunga guitan lou ngailutna nachan ham ti kahet ding ahi.
15 And it came to pass, before he had done speaking, that, behold, Rebekah came out, who was born to Bethuel the son of Milcah, the wife of Nahor, Abraham’s brother, with her pitcher upon her shoulder.
Asohpa taona achai masang in Rebekah numei khangthah nu chun aleng kouva Twibel ahin pun ahung pot doh tan ahi, Amanu chu Bethuel chanu, Abraham sopipa Nahor le ajinu Milcah toh ahin lhon ahi.
16 And the damsel was very fair to look upon, a virgin, neither had any man known her: and she went down to the fountain, and filled her pitcher, and came up.
Rebekah chu nungah melhoi vetnom nom a melhoi khat ahin, chule pasal tojong kitimat na neikha lou hel lai ahiye. Amanu chun Twikhuh sunga achelut in a twibel dimset in twi aga kithal in chu jouvin ahung kaldoh tai.
17 And the servant ran to meet her, and said, Give me to drink, I pray thee, a little water of thy pitcher.
Abraham sohpa chu Rebekah kom lama alhai in hitin aseiye, “Lungset tah in nabel a twi chu themkhat neidon sah thei ding ham,” atile,
18 And she said, Drink, my lord: and she hasted, and let down her pitcher upon her hand, and gave him drink.
Rebekah in jong “Henge kapu nadon thei ma ma ahi,” chuin amanun a twi poh chu a lengkouva pat in ahin dom lhan Abraham sohpa chu adonsah tai.
19 And when she had done giving him drink, she said, I will draw for thy camels also, until they have done drinking.
Chuin Rebekah in twi adonsah jou chun, ana khongai tadin “Keiman na sangongsao ho ding jong twi gadom ta ding e ati, chule na sangongsao hon adon chim tokah sen keiman gathal peh ing'e,” ati.
20 And she hasted, and emptied her pitcher into the trough, and ran again unto the well to draw, and drew for all his camels.
Hichun Rebekah chu gangtah in atwi poh chu gancha ho twikong sunga alheilhan, twikhuh langa chun twithal dingin a lhaijel kit'in amapa sangongsao ho abonchauvin twi adon chim sah soh keiyin ahi.
21 And the man looked stedfastly on her; holding his peace, to know whether the LORD had made his journey prosperous or not.
Chuphat'in sohpan thipbeh in Rebekah umchan chu aven ama akingaiton Pakaiyin ka hung kholyin lona penhi a lolhin sah ding khat hitam, hilou ham tin phot chen ding gon Rebekah um chan chu thip behchan ave ave jeng in ahi.
22 And it came to pass, as the camels had done drinking, that the man took a golden ring of half a shekel weight, and two bracelets for her hands of ten shekels weight of gold;
Phat chomkhat jouvin sangongsao ho jousen twi ahin donva cheh tauvin, hichun sohpan sana bilba anah a budin ahin ladoh in chule sana chao jang ni lentah akhut cheng teni a bupeh din ahin ladoh tai.
23 and said, Whose daughter art thou? tell me, I pray thee. Is there room in thy father’s house for us to lodge in?
Amapan adong tan, “Nangma hi koi chanu nahim? lungset tahin eihin donbut in, napa in mun a chu tujan kaki ngah thei diu ham?” ati.
24 And she said unto him, I am the daughter of Bethuel the son of Milcah, which she bare unto Nahor.
Amanu'n adonbut in, “Keima hi Bethuel chanu kahi atin, kapu le kapi chu Nahor le Milcah ahi.
25 She said moreover unto him, We have both straw and provender enough, and room to lodge in.
Henge, adih e, keihon chang pol tamtah kanei jun sangongsao ho neh thei ding, chule jin lhun in jong kanei uve,” ati.
26 And the man bowed his head, and worshipped the LORD.
Hichun sohpa abohkhup in Pakai Pathen athangvah tai.
27 And he said, Blessed be the LORD, the God of my master Abraham, who hath not forsaken his mercy and his truth toward my master: as for me, the LORD hath led me in the way to the house of my master’s brethren.
Pathen vahchoiyin umhen, kapu pa Abraham Pathen atitai. “Pakaiyin a lungsetna longlou chule phatkim na kapu pa amusah tai, ajeh chu ahile imacha boina umlouva kapu sopite koma eipui lhungjel tai.”
28 And the damsel ran, and told her mother’s house according to these words.
Hichun khangthah nungahnu chu gangtah in a inlama alhai jel in ama chunga thilsoh um cheng a insung mite aga hetsah in ahi.
29 And Rebekah had a brother, and his name was Laban: and Laban ran out unto the man, unto the fountain.
Rebekah chun sopi Laban aneiyin, amapa chun twikhuh kam'a chun ahung gamkon ho kimu pi din ahung tai.
30 And it came to pass, when he saw the ring, and the bracelets upon his sister’s hands, and when he heard the words of Rebekah his sister, saying, Thus spake the man unto me; that he came unto the man; and, behold, he stood by the camels at the fountain.
Laban chun anah'a sana akiba a akhuta sana chaojang akibu chu amu tan, chuleh Rebekah in amaho chung chang thu asei chengse chu ajan, hichun ama alhaidoh pai jin twikhuh umna lama sangongsao ho nunga adin chu amun ahi.
31 And he said, Come in, thou blessed of the LORD; wherefore standest thou without? for I have prepared the house, and room for the camels.
Laban chun sohpa koma aseiye, “Hung in keiho kom a nage thei diu ahi, Pathen in phatthei abohsa teho khopam a iti nadin ding'u ham? Keima in a nangho gena ding mun aum e, chule na sangongsao te kol na ding jong gonsan aum'e.”
32 And the man came into the house, and he ungirded the camels; and he gave straw and provender for the camels, and water to wash his feet and the men’s feet that were with him.
Hichun amapa chun Laban toh insung alut tauvin, Laban chun sangongsao ho chu alham lhan changpol ho apen aki choldo na diu, chuleh aneh diu jong twi jong sohpa ding, chule sangongsao hoiya pang ho dinga akeng kisop ngim na ding un apen ahi.
33 And there was set meat before him to eat: but he said, I will not eat, until I have told mine errand. And he said, Speak on.
Hichun aneh diu an ahung kilui doh tan ahin Abraham sohpan aseiye, “Imacha kaneh nompoi kahung na ajeh kasei masang in,” aphai tin Laban in adon but in, “Neisei peh un” ati.
34 And he said, I am Abraham’s servant.
“Keima hi Abraham sohpa kahi,” tin aman asei tai.
35 And the LORD hath blessed my master greatly; and he is become great: and he hath given him flocks and herds, and silver and gold, and menservants and maidservants, and camels and asses.
Chule Pathen in kapu pa hi hatah in phatthei aboh in ama nei le gou jong ahao thei lheh tan ahi. Chule Pathen in kelngoi hon, le sa namkim jong anei sah tan, chule sana dangka le soh numei le pasal, sangongsao tamtah jong chule sangan tamtah apetan ahi.
36 And Sarah my master’s wife bare a son to my master when she was old: and unto him hath he given all that he hath.
Chuin kapu pa loinu Sarah chu akum ahung teh jou nung in, kapupa chapa pasal khat ahing in, kapu pan achapa chu anei agou jouse ama ape doh tai.
37 And my master made me swear, saying, Thou shalt not take a wife for my son of the daughters of the Canaanites, in whose land I dwell:
Hia chun kapu Abraham'in eikitep sah in, Aman hiti aseiye, “Nangman hiche ka chapa hi Canaan numei ho toh na kichen sah lou hel ding ahi.”
38 but thou shalt go unto my father’s house, and to my kindred, and take a wife for my son.
“Amavang ka pate kom langa, ka insung mite kom lang joh a nache a ka chapa Isaac ji ding nei gapui peh tan,” ati.
39 And I said unto my master, Peradventure the woman will not follow me.
Hinlah keiman kapu ka donbut in “Keiman ipi kalo ding ham? numei khangthah keima toh hung kinung le ding ka mu thei lou leh kati'e.
40 And he said unto me, The LORD, before whom I walk, will send his angel with thee, and prosper thy way; and thou shalt take a wife for my son of my kindred, and of my father’s house:
Aman ei donbut'in, “Pakai ama umna limnoiya eiumpi pan avantil te nahin solpeh ding na kin jong thupitah a na lolhin sah ding ahi. Adih e! Hijeh a chu ka chapa aloinu ding keima insung miho lah a nahin pui tei ding ahi.
41 then shalt thou be clear from my oath, when thou comest to my kindred; and if they give her not to thee, thou shalt be clear from my oath.
Hiche teng chule, keima a kona na ongthol ding ahitai. Kasopi ho lah a naga che a amahon a chanu u chu nangtoh hung ding anoplou ule hiche achu nangma na themmo tapoi.
42 And I came this day unto the fountain, and said, O LORD, the God of my master Abraham, if now thou do prosper my way which I go:
Hijeh chun tun in, keima hilai twikhuh mun a hin ka touve, O Pakai, kapu pa Abraham Pathen tuchung hi ka hung ki gonna kin hi lungset tahin neilo lhin sah in kati'e.
43 behold, I stand by the fountain of water; and let it come to pass, that the maiden which cometh forth to draw, to whom I shall say, Give me, I pray thee, a little water of thy pitcher to drink;
Ven, keima hilaiya twikhuh koma kadin pet ahi, numei khangthah hon hiche twikhuh a twi thal a ahung teng ule hitia hi kasei ding, lungset tahin na khon na chun twi themkhat nei donsah thei ding ham?
44 and she 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 appointed for my master’s son.
Ama nun henge ati a chule keiman na sangongsao ho jouse jong twi ka donsah soh ding ahin tileh amanu chu kapupa chapa Isaac ji ding in nei petai tia ka lah ding ahi tai.
45 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 fountain, and drew: and I said unto her, Let me drink, I pray thee.
Keiman ka lungthima katao chai masang in Rebekah in alengkou va twibel ahin pun twikhuh lam ahin jon in, hichun keiman amanu jah'a hitin kaseiye, lungset tah in don ding twi neipen kati'e.
46 And she made haste, and let down her pitcher from her shoulder, and said, Drink, and I will give thy camels drink also: so I drank, and she made the camels drink also.
Hichun Rebekah in jong gangtah in a lengkouva twibel a twi aput chu ahin domlhan hitin asei tai. Henge aphai, twi nadon thei ahiye chule keiman nagancha Sangongsao ho jouse jong twi donva sah cheh nange ati, hichun ken jong ka don in, a sangongsao ho jong abonchauvin twi avahva cheh in ahi.
47 And I asked her, and said, Whose daughter art thou? And she said, The daughter of Bethuel, Nahor’s son, whom Milcah bare unto him: and I put the ring upon her nose, and the bracelets upon her hands.
Hichun keiman ka dong in nangma hi koi chanu nahim katile aman eidonbut'in, “Bethuel chanu kahin Nahor le Milcah chu kapu le kapi ahi, hichea chu keiman anah a sana bilba kaba peh a akhut teni a sana chaojang kabu peh ahi,” ati.
48 And I bowed my head, and worshipped the LORD, and blessed the LORD, the God of my master Abraham, which had led me in the right way to take my master’s brother’s daughter for his son.
Hichun keima ka kun in ka boh khup in Pakai kavah choiye, kapu pa Abraham Pathen chu, Ajeh chu Pathen in lolhing tah in eipui jin ama sopi atute kom lama achapa ji puithei ding muna kaum tah jeh in ati.
49 And now if ye 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.
Neisei peh in, nangman kilungset na longlou chule kingailut phot chetna hi kapu pa nasuh bulhit sah ding ham? ahilou leh ipi neilo ding ham? hiche teng chule keiman aban bolbe ding chu kigel tang kate.
50 Then Laban and Bethuel answered and said, The thing proceedeth from the LORD: we cannot speak unto thee bad or good.
Hichun Bethual le Laban in adonbut lhon in, “Pathen in hikoma hi na hin pui uchu ka nom e keima ho emacha seibe ding kahe pouve.”
51 Behold, Rebekah is before thee, take her, and go, and let her be thy master’s son’s wife, as the LORD hath spoken.
Rebekah hi kipui jun che tauvin nadei ma bang in na pupa chapa inneipi din kipui tauvin, Pathen in nahin puiji mabang in atilhone.
52 And it came to pass, that, when Abraham’s servant heard their words, he bowed himself down to the earth unto the LORD.
Abraham sohpan hiche thu kisei ho jouse chu ajah phat chun tol'a abohkhup in Pathen a thangvah tai.
53 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.
Hichun Abraham sohpan dangka sum eng chule sana khivui, pon mantam ho chu Rebekah apeuvin, hiche tilou chun thil thupi mantam tah Laban le anu jong apen ahi.
54 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.
Hichun amahon an ane khomun Abraham sohpa le ahin lhonpi ho jouse hiche jan chun ageh un, Hinlah jingkah matah in, Abraham sohpan hitin aseiye, “Ka pupa koma kinungle din neisol tauvin,” ati.
55 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.
Amavang Laban le anun, “Rebekah chu nisom tobang aum be ding in adei lhon nalaiye. Hiche jouteng amanu chethei tante,” atiuve.
56 And he said unto them, Hinder me not, seeing the LORD hath prospered my way; send me away that I may go to my master.
Ahin sohpan nei ni chon sah sah hih un, ajeh chu ka Pakai ka hung na kin lenpen tah hi eilo lhin sah peh ahi tai. Lungset tah in kapu pa koma din eiki nungle sah tauvin.
57 And they said, We will call the damsel, and inquire at her mouth.
“Aphai,” ati uvin, “Keima hon Rebekah kouvu tin dong ute aman ipi agel em.”
58 And they called Rebekah, and said unto her, Wilt thou go with this man? And she said, I will go.
Hichun amahon Rebekah akou vun, “Amapa toh'in nache ding hitam,” tin adong uve. Chuin ama nun adonbut in “Henge kache ding ahi,” ati.
59 And they sent away Rebekah their sister, and her nurse, and Abraham’s servant, and his men.
Hichun amahon damsel tauvin tin Rebekah chu alhau vin, Abraham sohpa toh ahin kilhonpi hotoh asol tauvin ahi. Rebekah chu aneova patna ahin sasah nu jong asol peh thauvin amanu toh kilhon ding ahi.
60 And they blessed Rebekah, and said unto her, Our sister, be thou [the mother] of thousands of ten thousands, and let thy seed possess the gate of those which hate them.
Amaho Rebekah in adalhah kon un hitin phatthei aboh un “Ka sahtah u sopinu nangman mi asang sang hin hing inlang, na chilhah te jong hat jing'u hen. Amahon amelma teu kelkot hinkal lhah jing'u hen,” atiuve.
61 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.
Hichun Rebekah le asoh numei ho chu sangonsao chunga kaldoh un, Abraham sohpa nung chu ajui tauve, Hiti chun Abraham soh pan Rebekah chu apuiyun ahung tauve.
62 And Isaac came from the way of Beer-lahai-roi; for he dwelt in the land of the South.
Hiche petna chu Isaac chu Beerlahai-roi japat achenna mun Negev lama ahung kinungle pettah ahi.
63 And Isaac went out to meditate in the field at the eventide: and he lifted up his eyes, and saw, and, behold, there were camels coming.
Nilhah khat Isaac chu avah len atao dinga ache le pet in phailei lam agahven ahile sangong-sang ho ahung chu amun ahi.
64 And Rebekah lifted up her eyes, and when she saw Isaac, she lighted off the camel.
Chuin Rebekah agah khodah in ahile Isaac amuphat in sangongsao chunga kon in ahung kum lha tai.
65 And she said unto the servant, What man is this that walketh in the field to meet us? And the servant said, It is my master: and she took her veil, and covered herself.
“Koiham khulanga phailei lama vahle a eiho eigal dot'u khu,” tin Rebekah'in sohpa chu adongtan ahi. Chuin Abraham sohpan adonbut'in “Ama khu kapupa ahi,” hichun Rebekah'in adel alan akikhu khume.
66 And the servant told Isaac all the things that he had done.
Hichun sohpan Isaac chu ima jouse thusoh ho chu asei peh tan ahi.
67 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.
Chuin Isaac in Rebekah chu anu Sarah ponbuh in na ahin puilut in, aman Rebekah chu aji din asang tan hatah in alungset in, amanu chu Isaac anun adalhah jou alung hem na jouse jong amil tai.
