Pirmā Mozus 24
1 Un Ābrahāms bija vecs un labi piedzīvojis, un Tas Kungs Ābrahāmu bija svētījis ar visām lietām.
Now Abraham was old; and advanced in age: and the Lord had blessed him in all things.
2 Tad Ābrahāms sacīja uz savu kalpu, to vecāko savā namā, kas valdīja pār visu, kas viņam bija:
And he said to the elder servant of his house, who was ruler over all he had: Put thy 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,
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:
4 Bet ka tev būs iet uz manu zemi un pie maniem radiem un manam dēlam Īzakam sievu ņemt.
But that thou go to my own country and kindred, and take a wife from thence 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 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?
6 Un Ābrahāms uz to sacīja: sargies, ka tu manu dēlu uz turieni nevedi atpakaļ.
And Abraham said: Beware thou never bring my son back again thither.
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.
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.
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 will not follow thee, thou shalt not be bound by the oath; only bring not my son back thither again.
9 Un tas kalps lika savu roku apakš Ābrahāma, sava kunga, ciskas, un tam zvērēja par šo lietu.
The servant therefore put his hand under the thigh of Abraham his lord, and swore to him upon this word.
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.
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.
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:
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:
12 Kungs, Tu mana kunga Ābrahāma Dievs, lai man šodien izdodas un dari žēlastību pie mana kunga Ābrahāma.
O Lord the God of my master Abraham, meet me today, I beseech thee, and show kindness to my master Abraham.
13 Redzi, es stāvu pie ūdens akas, un šīs pilsētas ļaužu meitas nāks ārā ūdeni smelt.
Behold I stand nigh the spring of water, and the daughters of the inhabitants of this city will come 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.
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.
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.
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:
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.
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.
17 Tad tas kalps steidzās viņai pretī un sacīja: ļauj man jel kādu ūdens malciņu no tava trauka nodzerties.
And the servant ran to meet her, and said: Give me a little water to drink of thy pitcher.
18 Un tā sacīja: dzer, mans kungs! Un tā steidzās un nolaida to trauku uz savu roku un deva tam dzert.
And she answered: Drink, my lord. And quickly she let down the pitcher upon her arm, and gave him drink.
19 Un kad tā viņam bija devusi dzert, tad tā sacīja: es smelšu arī priekš taviem kamieļiem, kamēr tie būs padzirdīti.
And when he had drunk, she said: I will draw water for thy camels also, till they all drink.
20 Un tā steidzās un izlēja savu trauku dzirdināmā silē, un tecēja atkal uz aku smelt un smēla visiem viņa kamieļiem.
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.
21 Un tas vīrs izbrīnījās par to, klusu ciezdams, ka viņš samanītu, vai Tas Kungs viņa ceļam licis labi izdoties, vai ne.
But he musing beheld her with silence, desirous to know whether the Lord had made his journey prosperous 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.
And after that the camels had drunk, the man took out golden earrings, weighing two sicles: and as many bracelets of ten sicles weight.
23 Un viņš sacīja: meitiņa, kam meita tu esi? Pasaki man jel to: vai priekš mums tava tēva namā vietas, tur naktsmāju dabūt?
And he said to her: Whose daughter art thou? tell me: is there any place in thy father’s house to lodge?
24 Un tā uz viņu sacīja: es esmu Betuēļa, Milkas dēla, meita, ko tā Nahoram dzemdējusi.
And she answered: I am the daughter of Bathuel, the son of Melcha, whom she bore to Nachor.
25 Un tā vēl uz viņu sacīja: tur ir arī diezgan salmu un barības pie mums, ir mājošanas vieta.
And she said moreover to him: We have good store of both straw and hay, and a large place to lodge in.
26 Tad tas vīrs Tā Kunga priekšā nomezdamies to pielūdza
The man bowed himself down, and adored the Lord,
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.
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.
28 Un tā meitiņa tecēja un to pasacīja savas mātes namā.
Then the maid ran, and told in her mother’s house, all that she had heard.
29 Un Rebekai bija brālis, Lābans vārdā, un Lābans steidzās pie tā vīra ārā uz aku.
And Rebecca had a brother named Laban, who went out in haste to the man, to the well.
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.
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,
31 Un viņš sacīja: nāc iekšā, Tā Kunga svētītais, kam tu stāvi ārā? Jo es esmu namu sataisījis un vieta ir priekš taviem kamieļiem.
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.
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.
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.
33 Un tie viņam cēla priekšā barību; bet viņš sacīja: es neēdīšu, pirms nebūšu runājis savus vārdus. Un tas sacīja: runā.
And bread was set before him. But he said: I will not eat, till I tell my message. He answered him: Speak.
34 Tad viņš sacīja: es esmu Ābrahāma kalps,
And he said: I am the servant of Abraham:
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.
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.
36 Un Sāra, mana kunga sieva, manam kungam ir dzemdējusi dēlu savā vecumā, un tam viņš ir devis visu, kas viņam pieder.
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.
37 Un mans kungs man ir licis zvērēt sacīdams: tev manam dēlam nebūs ņemt no tām Kanaāniešu meitām, kuru zemē es dzīvoju.
And my master made me swear, saying: Thou shalt not take a wife for my son of the Chanaanites, in whose land I dwell:
38 Bet tev būs iet uz mana tēva namu un pie maniem radiem un manam dēlam sievu ņemt.
But thou shalt go to my father’s house, and shalt take a wife of my own kindred for my son:
39 Tad es sacīju uz savu kungu: ja tā sieva man neies līdz.
But I answered my master: What if the woman will not come with 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.
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.
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 thou shalt be clear from my curse, when thou shalt come to my kindred, if they will not give thee one.
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,
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,
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,
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:
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
50 Tad Lābans un Betuēls atbildēja un sacīja: šī lieta ir no Tā Kunga nākusi, mēs nedz ļauna nedz laba nevaram uz tevi runāt.
And Laban and Bathuel answered: The word hath proceeded from the Lord, we cannot speak any other thing to thee but his pleasure.
51 Redzi, Rebeka ir tavā priekšā, ņem to un ej; lai tā ir tava kunga dēla sieva, kā Tas Kungs ir sacījis.
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.
52 Un kad Ābrahāma kalps viņu vārdus dzirdēja, tad viņš Tā Kunga priekšā pie zemes mezdamies To pielūdza.
Which when Abraham’s servant heard, falling down to the ground he adored the Lord.
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.
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.
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.
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.
55 Tad viņas brālis un viņas māte sacīja: lai tā meitiņa kādas desmit dienas paliek pie mums; pēc tu vari iet.
And her brother and mother answered: Let the maid stay at least ten days with us, and afterwards she shall depart.
56 Bet viņš uz tiem sacīja: neaizkavējiet mani, Tas Kungs manam ceļam licis labi izdoties; atlaidiet mani, ka es eju pie sava kunga.
Stay me not, said he, because the Lord hath prospered my way: send me away, that I may go to my master.
57 Tad tie sacīja: sauksim to meitiņu un jautāsim viņu.
And they said: Let us call the maid, and ask her will.
58 Tad tie sauca Rebeku un uz to sacīja: vai tu gribi iet ar šo vīru? Un tā sacīja: es iešu.
And they called her, and when she was come, they asked: Wilt thou go with this man? She said: I will go.
59 Tad tie atlaida Rebeku, savu māsu, un viņas emmu, un Ābrahāma kalpu un viņa vīrus.
So they sent her away, and her nurse, and Abraham’s servant, and his company,
60 Un tie svētīja Rebeku un uz to sacīja: tu, mūsu māsa, audzi par tūkstošu tūkstošiem, un tavs dzimums lai pārvalda savu ienaidnieku vārtus.
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.
61 Un Rebeka cēlās ar savām meitām un sēdās uz kamieļiem un gāja tam vīram līdz, un tas kalps ņēma Rebeku un aizgāja.
So Rebecca and her maids, being set upon camels, followed the man: who with speed returned to his master.
62 Un Īzaks nāca to ceļu no Lekaj-Roī akas, jo tas mita dienvidu(Negebas) zemē.
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.
63 Bet Īzaks bija izgājis uz lauku Dievu pielūgt ap vakara laiku. Un tas pacēla savas acis un skatījās, un redzi, kamieļi nāca.
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.
64 Un Rebeka pacēla savas acis un redzēja Īzaku un nolaidās no kamieļa.
Rebecca also, when she saw Isaac, lighted off 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.
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.
66 Un tas kalps Īzakam visu izteica, ko tas bija darījis.
And the servant told Isaac all 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.
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.
