Kenehi 24
1 Na kua koroheketia a Aperahama, A kua maha rawa ona ra: a i manaaki a Ihowa i a Aperahama i nga mea katoa.
Abraham was olde and stryken in dayes and the LORde had blessed him in all thinges.
2 Na ka mea a Aperahama ki te kaumatua o ana pononga i roto i tona whare, ki te kaiwhakahaere o ana mea katoa, Tena, whakapakia mai tou ringa ki raro ki toku huhu:
And he sayde vnto his eldest servaunte of his house which had the rule over all that he had: Put thy hande vnder my thye that
3 A me whakaoati koe e ahau ki a Ihowa, ki te Atua o te rangi, ki te Atua hoki o te whenua, kia kaua e tangohia e koe he wahine ma taku tama i roto i nga tamahine a nga Kanaani, a te iwi e noho nei ahau i roto i a ratou:
I maye make the swere by the LORde that is God of heauen and God of the erth that thou shalt not take a wyfe vnto my sonne of the doughters of the canaanytes amonge which I dwell.
4 Engari me haere koe ki toku whenua, ki oku whanaunga, ka tango mai ai i tetahi wahine ma taku tama, ma Ihaka.
But shalt goo vnto my contre and to my kynred and there take a wyfe vnto my sonne Isaac.
5 Na ka mea te pononga ki a ia, Akuanei pea ka kore e pai te wahine ki te whai mai i ahau ki tenei whenua: me whakahoki ranei e ahau tau tama ki te whenua i haere mai nei koe i reira?
Tha sayde the seruaunte vnto him: what ad yf the woma wyll not agree to come with me vnto this lade shall I brynge thy sonne agayne vnto the lande which thou camest out of:
6 Ka mea a Aperahama ki a ia, Kia tino mohio koe, kaua rawa taku tama e whakahokia ki reira.
And Abraha sayde vnto him: bewarre of that that thou brige not my sonne thither.
7 Ko Ihowa, ko te Atua o te rangi, nana nei ahau i tango mai i te whare o toku papa, i te whenua hoki i whanau ai ahau, i korero ki ahau, i oati hoki ki ahau, Ka hoatu e ahau tenei whenua ki ou uri; mana e tono mai tana anahera ki mua i a koe, a ka riro mai i a koe tetahi wahine ma taku tama i reira.
The LORde God of heauen which toke me from my fathers house and from the lande where I was borne and which spake vnto me and sware vnto me saynge: vnto thy seed wyll I geue this lande he shall sende his angell before the yt thou mayst take a wife vnto my sonne from thence.
8 A, ki te kahore te wahine e pai ki te whai mai i a koe, katahi koe ka watea i tenei oati aku: otiia kaua e whakahokia e koe taku tama ki reira.
Neuerthelesse yf the woma will not agree to come with the than shalt thou be with out daunger of this ooth. But aboue all thinge brynge not my sonne thyther agayne.
9 Na ka whakapakia e te pononga tona ringa ki raro i te huha o Aperahama, o tona ariki, a ka oati ki a ia mo taua mea.
And the seruaunte put his hand vnder the thye of Abraham and sware to him as concernynge that matter.
10 Na ka tangohia e te pononga etahi kamera kotahi tekau i roto i nga kamera a tona ariki, a haere ana: i tona ringa hoki nga mea papai katoa a tona ariki: a whakatika ana ia, haere ana ki Mehopotamia, ki te pa o Nahora.
And the seruaunte toke. x. camels of the camels of his master and departed and had of all maner goodes of his master with him and stode vp and went to Mesopotamia vnto the cytie of Nahor.
11 Na ka mea ia i nga kamera kia tuturi ki te taha o te puna wai i waho o te pa i te ahiahi, i te wa e puta mai ai nga wahine ki te utu wai.
And made his camels to lye doune with out the cytie by a wels syde of water at euen: aboute the tyme that women come out to drawe water
12 A ka mea ia, E Ihowa, e te Atua o toku ariki, o Aperahama, kia whai wahi ahau akuanei, whakaputaina hoki he aroha ki toku ariki, ki a Aperahama.
and he sayde. LORde God of my master Abraha sende me good spede this daye and shewe mercy vnto my master Abraham.
13 Tenei ahau te tu nei i te taha o te puna wai; a e haere mai ana nga tamahine a nga tangata o te pa ki te utu wai:
Lo I stonde here by the well of water and the doughters of the men of this citie will come out to drawe water:
14 A, ko te kotiro e mea ai ahau ki a ia, Tukua iho tau oko kia inu ai ahau; a ka mea ia, E inu, me whakainu ano e ahau au kamera: kia rite ia i a koe ma tau pononga, ma Ihaka; ma reira ka mohio ai ahau e whakaputa aroha ana koe ki toku ariki.
Now the damsell to whome I saye stoupe doune thy pytcher and let me drynke. Yf she saye drynke and I will geue thy camels drynke also yt same is she that thou hast ordened for they servaunte Isaac: yee and therby shall I knowe that thou hast shewed mercy on my master.
15 Heoi kiano i mutu noa tana korero, na, kua puta mai a Ripeka, tamahine a Petuere, tama a Mireka, a te wahine a Nahora, teina o Aperahama, me tana oko i runga i tona pokohiwi.
And it came to passe yer he had leeft spakynge that Rebecca came out the doughter of Bethuell sonne to Melcha the wife of Nahor Abrahams brother and hir pytcher apon hir shulder:
16 Na ko te kotiro ra he tino ataahua ki te titiro atu, he wahina, kahore ano tetahi tane kia mohio noa ki a ia: na ka heke atu ia ki te puna, ka whakaki i tana oko, a ka haere ake.
The damsell was very fayre to loke apon and yet a mayde and vnknowen of man. And she went doune to the well and fylled hyr pytcher and came vp agayne.
17 Na ka rere te pononga ra ki te whakatutaki i a ia, ka mea, Homai he wai moku, ne, o tau oko kia iti nei?
Then the seruaunte ranne vnto her and sayde: let me syppe a litle water of thi pither.
18 A ka mea ia, E inu, e toku ariki: na hohoro tonu tana tuku iho i tana oko ki runga ki tona ringa, a whakainumia ana ia.
And she sayde: drynke my lorde. And she hasted and late downe her pytcher apon hyr arme and gaue him drinke.
19 A, ka mutu tana whakainu i a ia, ka mea ia, Me utu ano hoki e ahau mo au kamera, kia poto ra ano ratou te whakainu.
And whe she had geven hym drynke she sayde: I will drawe water for thy camels also vntill they haue dronke ynough.
20 Na hohoro tonu tana riringi atu i te wai o tana oko ki roto ki te waka, a rere ana ano ki te puna ki te utu, a utuhia mai ana e ia mo ana kamera katoa.
And she poured out hyr pitcher in to the trough hastely and ranne agayne vnto the well to fett water: and drewe for all his camels.
21 Ko taua tangata ia matatau tonu tana titiro ki a ia, kihai hoki i hamumu, kia mohio ia ka whakatikaia ranei e Ihowa tona ara, kahore ranei.
And the felowe wondred at her. But helde his peace to wete whether the LORde had made his iourney prosperous or not.
22 A ka mutu te inu o nga kamera, na ka tikina e taua tangata tetahi whakakai koura, he hawhe hekere tona taimaha, me nga poroporo e rua mo ona ringa, kotahi tekau nga hekere koura te taimaha;
And as the camels had lefte drynckynge he toke an earynge of halfe a sicle weght and. ij golden bracelettes for hyr hades of. x. sycles weyght of gold
23 A ka mea, Na wai koe tamahine? tena, korero mai ki ahau: he wahi ranei kei te whare o tou papa hei moenga mo matou?
and sayde vnto her: whose doughter art thou? tell me: ys there rowme in thy fathers house for vs to lodge in?
24 Na ka mea ia ki a ia, He tamahine ahau na Petuere, tama a Mireka, i whanau nei i a raua ko Nahora.
And she sayde vnto him: I am the doughter of Bethuell the sonne of Milcha which she bare vnto Nahor:
25 A ka mea ano ia ki a ia, He nui a matou kakau witi, me a matou otaota hei kai, me tetahi wahi hoki hei moenga.
and sayde moreouer vnto him: we haue litter and prauonder ynough and also rowme to lodge in.
26 Na tuohu ana taua tangata, koropiko ana ki a Ihowa.
And the man bowed himselfe and worshipped the LORde
27 A ka mea, Kia whakapaingia a Ihowa, te Atua o toku rangatira, o Aperahama, kihai nei i wareware ki tona aroha, ki tona pono ki toku rangatira: tena ko ahau, na Ihowa ano ahau i arataki mai i te ara ki te whare o nga teina o toku rangatira.
and sayde: blessed be the LORde God of my master Abraham which ceasseth not to deale mercyfully and truly with my master And hath brought me the waye to my masters brothers house.
28 Na ka oma te kotiro ra, ka korero i enei mea ki te whare o tona whaea.
And the damsell ranne and tolde them of her mothers house these thinges.
29 Na, he tungane to Ripeka, ko Rapana tona ingoa; na ka rere a Rapana ki taua tangata, ki waho, ki te puna.
And Rebecca had a brother called Laban. And Laban ranne out vnto the man to the well:
30 Na, i tona kitenga i te whakakai me nga poroporo i nga ringa o tona tuahine, a ka rongo hoki ki nga kupu a Ripeka, a tona tuahine, i mea ra, I penei nga korero a taua tangata ki ahau; ka haere ia ki taua tangata; na, i te taha ia o nga kamera, i te puna wai e tu ana;
for as soone as he had sene the earynges and the bracelettes apon his sisters handes ad herde the wordes of Rebecca his sister saynge thus sayde the man vnto me than he went out vnto the man. And loo he stode yet with the camels by the well syde.
31 A ka mea, Tomo mai, e te manaakitanga a Ihowa; he aha koe i tu ai i waho? kua oti hoki i ahau te whare te whakapai, me tetahi wahi mo nga kamera.
And Laban sayde: come in thou blessed of the LORde. Wherfore stondest thou without? I haue dressed the house and made rowme for the camels.
32 Na ka haere taua tangata ki te whare, a wetekina ana e ia nga mea o nga kamera; i homai ano e ia he kakau witi me tetahi otaota hei kai ma nga kararehe, me te wai hei horoi mo ona waewae, mo nga waewae hoki o ona hoa.
And than the ma came in to the house. And he vnbrydeld the camels: and brought litter and prauonder for the camels and water to weshe his fete and their fete that were with him
33 Na ka whakatakotoria he kai ki tona aroaro; otiia ka mea ia, E kore ahau e kai, kia korerotia ra ano e ahau taku haere. Ka mea tera, Korero.
and there was meate sett before him to eate. But he sayde: I will not eate vntill I haue sayde myne earede: And he sayde saye on.
34 Na ka mea ia, He pononga ahau na Aperahama.
And he sayde: I am Abrahas servaunte
35 A kua manaakitia rawatia toku ariki e Ihowa; kua nui ia; a kua homai hoki ki a ia he hipi, he kau, he hiriwa, he koura, he pononga tane, he pononga wahine, he kamera, he kaihe.
and the LORDE hath blessed my master out of measure that he is become greate and hath geven him shepe oxen syluer and golde menservauntes maydeservauntes camels ad asses.
36 A kua whanau he tama ma toku ariki i a Hara, i te wahine a toku ariki, i a ia kua ruruhitia: a kua hoatu e ia ana mea katoa ki a ia.
And Sara my masters wyfe bare him a sonne whe she was olde: and vnto him hath he geven all that he hath.
37 Na i whakaoati toku ariki i ahau, i mea mai, Kei tangohia e koe he wahine ma taku tama i roto i nga tamahine a nga Kanaani, e noho nei ahau i to ratou whenua:
And my master made me swere saynge: Thou shalt not take a wyfe to my sonne amonge the doughters of the cananytes in whose lade I dwell.
38 Engari me haere koe ki te whare o toku papa, ki oku whanaunga ka tango ai i tetahi wahine ma taku tama.
But thou shalt goo vnto my fathers house and to my kynred and there take a wyfe vnto my sonne.
39 Ano ra ko ahau ki toku ariki, E kore pea te wahine e whai mai i ahau.
And I sayde vnto my master. What yf the wyfe will not folowe me?
40 A ka mea mai ia ki ahau, Ma Ihowa, kei tona aroaro nei toku haereerenga, mana e tono tana anahera hei hoa mou, mana hoki e whakatika tou ara; a ka tango mai koe i tetahi wahine ma taku tama i roto i oku whanaunga, i roto hoki i te whare o toku p apa:
And he sayde vnto me: The LORde before whome I walke wyll sende his angell with the and prosper thy iourney that thou shalt take a wyfe for my sonne of my kynred and of my fathers house.
41 Katahi koe ka watea i taku oati, ki te haere koe ki oku whanaunga; a ki te kahore e homai e ratou ki a koe, na, ka watea koe i taku oati.
But and yf (when thou comest vnto my kynred) they will not geue the one tha shalt thou bere no perell of myne oothe.
42 I haere mai ahau i tenei ra ki te puna, a ka mea ahau, E Ihowa, e te Atua o toku ariki, o Aperahama, ki te mea e whakatika ana koe i toku ara e haere nei ahau:
And I came this daye vnto the well and sayed: O LORde the God of my master Abraha yf it be so that thou makest my iourney which I go prosperous:
43 Na, tenei ahau te tu nei i te taha o te puna wai; a ko te kotiro e puta mai ki te utu, a ka mea ahau ki a ia, Homai he wahi wai moku i tau oko kia inu ahau;
beholde I stode by this well of water And when a virgyn cometh forth to drawe water and I saye to her: geue me a litle water of thi pitcher to drynke
44 A ka mea mai ia ki ahau, E inu, a me utu ano e ahau mo au kamera: kia rite ia i a Ihowa hei wahine ma te tama a toku ariki.
and she saye agayne to me: dryncke thou and I will also drawe water for thy camels: that same is the wife whom the LORde hath prepared for my masters sonne.
45 Kiano i mutu noa taku korero i roto i toku ngakau, na, ko te putanga ake o Ripeka me tana oko i runga i tona pokohiwi: kua heke ki te poka ki te tu: na ka mea ahau ki a ia, Kia inu ahau, ne?
And before I had made an ende of speakynge in myne harte: beholde Rebecca came forth and hir pitcher on hir shulder and she went doune vnto the well and drewe. And I sayde vnto her geue me drynke.
46 Na ka hohoro ia, ka tuku i tana oko i tona pokohiwi, a ka mea mai, E inu, me whakainu ano e ahau au kamera: na inu ana ahau, a i whakainumia ano hoki e ia nga kamera.
And she made hast and toke doune hir pitcher from of hir ad sayd: drinke and I will geue thy camels drynke also. And I dranke and she gaue the camels drynke also.
47 Na ka ui ahau ki a ia, He tamahine koe na wai? A ka mea mai ia, He tamahine na Petuere, tama a Nahora, i whanau nei ma raua ko Mireka: na kuhua ana e ahau te whakakai ki tona ihu, me nga poroporo ki ona ringa.
And I asked her saynge: whose doughter art thou? And she answered: the doughter of Bathuell Nahors sonne whome Milca bare vnto him. And I put the earynge vpon hir face and the bracelettes apon hir hondes.
48 Na ka tuohu ahau, ka koropiko ki a Ihowa, ka whakapai hoki i a Ihowa, i te Atua o toku ariki, o Aperahama, mona i raahi i ahau i te huarahi tika ki te tiki mai i te tamahine a te teina o toku ariki ma tana tama.
And I bowed my selfe and worshepped the LORde and blessed the LORde God of my master Abraha which had brought me the right waye to take my masters brothers doughter vnto his sonne.
49 Na, ki te mea he aroha to koutou, he mahi pono ki toku ariki, korero mai ki ahau: ki te kahore, korero mai; kia tahuri ake ai ahau ki matau ranei, ki maui ranei.
Now therfore yf ye will deall mercyfully and truly with my master tell me. And yf no tell me also: that I maye turne me to the right hande or to the left.
50 Na ka whakahoki a Rapana raua ko Petuere, ka mea, I puta mai tenei mea i a Ihowa; e kore e taea e maua te korero ki a koe te pai, te kino ranei.
Than answered Laban and Bathuel saynge: The thinge is proceded even out of the lorde we can not therfore saye vnto the ether good or bad:
51 Nana, kei tou aroaro a Ripeka, tangohia, haere, a kia meinga ia hei wahine ma te tama a tou ariki, hei pera me ta Ihowa i korero ai.
Beholde Rebecca before thy face take her and goo and let her be thy masters sonnes wife euen as the LORde hath sayde.
52 A ka rongo te pononga a Aperahama i a raua korero, na piko ana ia ki te whenua, ki a Ihowa.
And whe Abrahams servaunte herde their wordes he bowed him selfe vnto the LORde flatt vpon the erth.
53 Na ka tangohia ake e te pononga he mea hiriwa, he mea koura, he kakahu hoki, a hoatu ana e ia ki a Ripeka: a i hoatu e ia etahi mea tino papai ki tona tungane raua ko tona whaea.
And the servaunte toke forth iewells of syluer and iewelles of gold and rayment and gaue them to Rebecca: But vnto hir brother and to hir mother he gaue spyces.
54 Na ka kai ratou, ka inu, ratou tahi ko ona hoa haere, a moe iho i te po; a i te ata ka oho ratou, ka mea atu ia, Tukua ahau kia haere ki toku ariki.
And then they ate and dranke both he and the men that were with him and taried all nyghte and rose vp in the mornynge. And he sayde: let me departe vnto my master.
55 Na ka mea tona tungane raua ko tona whaea, Waiho te kotiro i a matou mo etahi ra torutoru, kia kotahi tekau pea; muri iho ka haere.
But hir brother and hir mother sayde: let the damsell abyde with vs a while ad it be but even. x. dayes and than goo thy wayes.
56 Na ka mea ia ki a raua, Kaua ahau e whakawarea, kua whakatikaia nei hoki toku ara e Ihowa; tukua ahau kia haere ki toku ariki.
And he sayde vnto them hinder me not: for the lorde hath prospered my iourney. Sende me awaye yt I maye goo vnto my master.
57 Na ka mea raua, Me karanga e maua te kotiro, ka ui ai ki tona mangai.
And they sayde: let vs call the damsell and witt what she sayth to the matter.
58 Na ka karangatia e raua a Ripeka, ka mea ki a ia, Ka haere ranei koe i te tangata nei? Ka mea ia, Ka haere.
And they called forth Rebecca ad sayde vnto her: wilt thou goo with this ma? And she sayde: Yee.
59 Na tukua ana e ratou a Ripeka, to ratou tuahine, ratou ko tona kaiwhakangote, ko te pononga hoki a Aperahama, me ana tangata.
Than they broughte Rebecca their sister on the waye and her norse and Abrahas servaunte and the men that were wyth him.
60 Na ka manaaki ratou i a Ripeka, ka mea ki a ia, E to matou tuahine, kia meinga koe hei whaea mo nga mano tini, a kia riro i ou uri te kuwaha o o ratou hoariri.
And they blessed Rebecca and sayde vnto her: Thou art oure sister growe in to thousande thousandes and thy seed possesse ye gates of their emnies.
61 Na ka whakatika a Ripeka, ratou ko ana kotiro, a eke ana ki runga ki nga kamera, aru ana i taua tangata: na, ka mauria e taua pononga a Ripeka, a haere ana.
And Rebecca arose and hir damsels and satt the vp apo the camels and went their waye after the man. And ye servaunte toke Rebecca and went his waye
62 Na ka hoki mai a Ihaka i te haere i Peererahairoi; i te wahi hoki ki te tonga ia e noho ana.
And Isaac was a comige from the well of ye lyvynge and seynge for he dwelt in the south cotre
63 A ka puta atu a Ihaka ki te parae i te tuahiahi ki te whakaaroaro: na ka maranga ake ona kanohi, ka titiro, na ko nga kamera e haere mai ana.
and was gone out to walke in his meditatios before ye eue tyde. And he lyfte vp his eyes and loked and beholde ye camels were cominge.
64 A ka whakaara ake a Ripeka i ona kanohi, a, no tona kitenga i a Ihaka, ka marere ia ki raro i te kamera.
And Rebecca lyfte vp hir eyes and whe she sawe Isaac she lyghted of the camel
65 A ka mea atu ia ki te pononga, Ko wai tenei tangata e haere mai nei i te parae ki te whakatau i a tatou? Ano ra ko te pononga, Ko toku ariki tena: na ka mau ia ki tetahi arai kanohi, ka hipoki i a ia.
ad sayde vnto ye servaunte: what ma is this yt cometh agenst vs in the feld? And the servaute sayde: it is my master. And then she toke hir mantell ad put it aboute her.
66 Na ka korerotia e te pononga ki a Ihaka nga mea katoa i mea ai ia.
And the servaute tolde Isaac all that he had done.
67 Na ka kawea ia e Ihaka ki te teneti o tona whaea, o Hara, a tangohia ana e ia a Ripeka, a ka noho ia hei wahine mana; a ka aroha ia ki a ia: a ka whai tanga manawa a Ihaka i muri i te matenga o tona whaea.
The Isaac broughte her in to his mother Saras tente ad toke Rebecca and she became his wife and he loved her: and so was Isaac coforted over his mother.
