1Abraham khaw a tue loh patong ben a paan coeng dae a cungkuem dongah BOEIPA loh Abraham te yoethen a paek .
1By now Abraham was old and well along in years, and the LORD had blessed him in every way.
2Te dongah Abraham loh a im kah a koe boeih aka taem sal a ham taengah, “Na kut te ka phai hmuiah tloeng laeh.
2So Abraham instructed the chief servant of his household, who managed all he owned, “Place your hand under my thigh,
3Kai loh amih lakli ah kho ka sak dae Kanaan nu rhoek te ka capa kah a yuu la lo boeh.
3and I will have you swear by the LORD, the God of heaven and the God of earth, that you will not take a wife for my son from the daughters of the Canaanites among whom I am dwelling,
4Tedae ka khohmuen neh ka pacaboeina taengah cet lamtah ka ca Isaak ham yuu loh pah tila vaan Pathen, diklai Pathen BOEIPA ming neh nang kan toemngam sak,” a ti nah.
4but will go to my country and my kindred to take a wife for my son Isaac.”
5Te dongah a sal loh Abraham te , “Hekah khohmuen la kai hnukah vai ham huta loh a huem pawt khaming, na poenah kho la na capa te ka bal khaw ka bal puei aya?” a ti nah.
5The servant asked him, “What if the woman is unwilling to follow me to this land? Shall I then take your son back to the land from which you came?”
6Tedae Abraham loh anih taengah, “Nang te ngaithuen, ka capa te ke la na khuen ve ne.
6Abraham replied, “Make sure that you do not take my son back there.
7A pa im neh ka pacaboeina khohmuen lamkah kai aka khuen tih ka taengah a thui vaengah, 'Hekah khohmuen he nang tiingan ham ka khueh ni, ' tila aka toemngam, vaan kah Pathen BOEIPA loh nang hmai ah amah kah puencawn te a tueih vetih ka capa ham a yuu te ke lamkah nan loh pah bitni.
7The LORD, the God of heaven, who brought me from my father’s house and my native land, who spoke to me and promised me on oath, saying, ‘To your offspring I will give this land’—He will send His angel before you so that you can take a wife for my son from there.
8Tedae huta loh nang taengah lo ham a huem pawt atah ka olhlo dong lamloh m'hmil saeh. Tedae ka capa te ke la khuen boeh,” a ti nah.
8And if the woman is unwilling to follow you, then you are released from this oath of mine. Only do not take my son back there.”
9Te dongah salpa loh a kut te a boei Abraham kah a phai hmuiah a khueh tih hekah olka ham amah taengah a toem a ngam .
9So the servant placed his hand under the thigh of his master Abraham and swore an oath to him concerning this matter.
10Te phoeiah salpa loh a boei kah kalauk pumrha a loh tih a kut ah a boei kah thennah cungkuem neh cet. Te vaengah thoo tih Nakhaw kah khopuei Aramnaharaim la cet.
10Then the servant took ten of his master’s camels and departed with all manner of good things from his master in hand. And he set out for Nahor’s hometown in Aram-naharaim.
11Tedae hlaem tue vaengkah tuithan rhoek a caeh tue vaengah kalauk te khopuei voel kah tuito tui taengah a kol sak tih,
11As evening approached, he made the camels kneel down near the well outside the town at the time when the women went out to draw water.
12“Ka boei Abraham kah BOEIPA Pathen aw, ka boei Abraham taengah sitlohnah han saii lamtah tihnin ah kai he m'phu sak laeh.
12“O LORD, God of my master Abraham,” he prayed, “please grant me success today, and show kindness to my master Abraham.
13Tuiphuet tui kah ka pai vaengah tui than la khopuei hlang kah tanu aka lo rhoek khuikah,
13Here I am, standing beside the spring, and the daughters of the townspeople are coming out to draw water.
14Hula aka om te, 'Na amrhaeng hal dae lamtah tui ka o eh?,’ ka ti nah vaengah, 'O lamtah na kalauk rhoek khaw tui kan tul eh?,’ aka ti te na sal Isaak ham na hmoel pah. Anih dongah ka boei taengah sitlohnah nan saii tila ka ming ni,” a ti nah.
14Now may it happen that the girl to whom I say, ‘Please let down your jar that I may drink,’ and who responds, ‘Drink, and I will water your camels as well’—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.”
15Tedae a thui te a khah hlanah Abraham kah a manuca Nakhaw yuu Milkah capa Bethuel loh a sak Rebekah te a laengpang ah amrhaeng neh pakcak ha pawk.
15Before the servant had finished praying, Rebekah came out with her jar on her shoulder. She was the daughter of Bethuel son of Milcah, the wife of Abraham’s brother Nahor.
16A mueimae bahoeng aka then huta oila la om tih anih tetongpa loh ming hlan. Tuiphuet la suntla tih amrhaeng te a than tih yoeng.
16Now the girl was very beautiful, a virgin who had not had relations with any man. She went down to the spring, filled her jar, and came up again.
17Te dongah anih doe ham salpa te yong. Te phoeiah, “Nang kah amrhaeng tui bet n'coih ne,” a ti nah.
17So the servant ran to meet her and said, “Please let me have a little water from your jar.”
18Te dongah, “Ka boeipa o mai saw,” a ti nah tih a kut kah a amrhaeng te khaw koe a hal pah. Te phoeiah anih te a tul.
18“Drink, my lord,” she replied, and she quickly lowered her jar to her hands and gave him a drink.
19Anih te bawt a tul phoeiah, “Na kalauk rhoek ham khaw a ok rhoeh hil kan than dae eh,” a ti nah.
19After she had given him a drink, she said, “I will also draw water for your camels, until they have had enough to drink.”
20Te phoeiah a amrhaeng te tuisoi dongah koe a kingling tih tui than hamla tuito la koep yong. Te phoeiah a kalauk boeih ham tui a than.
20And she quickly emptied her jar into the trough and ran back to the well to draw water, until she had drawn water for all his camels.
21BOEIPA loh a longpuei a thaihtak sak neh a thaihtak sak pawt khaw ming hamla tongpa loh huta te duem a boelh.
21Meanwhile, the man watched her silently to see whether or not the LORD had made his journey a success.
22Te dongah kalauk loh bawt a ok nen tah tongpa loh sui hnaii a khiing beka khat neh a kut dongkah ham sui khungpak panit, a khiing parha te a loh.
22And after the camels had finished drinking, he took out a gold ring weighing a beka, and two gold bracelets for her wrists weighing ten shekels.
23Te phoeiah, “Nang ukah canu lae?Kai taengah thui lah. Na pa im ah pah ham a hmuen kaimih ham om aya?,” a ti nah.
23“Whose daughter are you?” he asked. “Please tell me, is there room in your father’s house for us to spend the night?”
24Te dongah anih taengah, “Kai tah Milkah loh Nakhaw ham a cun a capa Bethuel canu ni,” a ti nah.
24She replied, “I am the daughter of Bethuel, the son that Milcah bore to Nahor.”
25Te phoeiah anih te, “Kaimih taengah cangkong khaw, kamvuelh khaw, coih tih rhaeh hmuen khaw om,” a ti nah.
25Then she added, “We have plenty of straw and feed, as well as a place for you to spend the night.”
26Te dongah tekah hlang te buluk tih BOEIPA te a bawk.
26Then the man bowed down and worshiped the LORD,
27Te phoeiah, “Ka boei Abraham kah Pathen BOEIPA tah a yoethen pai. A sitlohnah neh uepomnah loh ka boei te hnoo pawh. Kai khaw ka boei kah a manuca im duela longpuei ah BOEIPA loh m'mawt coeng,” a ti.
27saying, “Blessed be the LORD, the God of my master Abraham, who has not withheld His kindness and faithfulness from my master. As for me, the LORD has led me on the journey to the house of my master’s relatives.”
28Hula te khaw yong tih hekah olka te a manu cako ham a thui pah.
28The girl ran and told her mother’s household about these things.
29Te vaengah Rebekah te a nganpa, a ming ah Laban khaw om. Te dongah Laban te tollong la yong tih tuiphuet kah hlang taengla cet.
29Now Rebekah had a brother named Laban, and he rushed out to the man at the spring.
30Tedae hnaii neh a ngannu kut kah khungpak te lawt a hmuh tih a ngannu Rebekah loh, “Tekah hlang loh kai taengah a thui,” a ti nah, ol a yaak. Hlang te a paan vaengah tah, tuiphuet kah kalauk taengah sut ana pai pah.
30As soon as he saw the ring, and the bracelets on his sister’s wrists, and heard Rebekah’s words, “The man said this to me,” he went and found the man standing by the camels near the spring.
31Te dongah, “BOEIPA kah yoethen a paek tah halo pai. Balae tih vongvoel ah na pai?Kai khaw im neh kalauk ham hmuen ka rhoekbah coeng ta,” a ti nah.
31“Come, you who are blessed by the LORD,” said Laban. “Why are you standing out here? I have prepared the house and a place for the camels.”
32Te daengah tekah hlang loh im la cet tih kalauk te a hlam. Te phoeiah kalauk ham cangkong neh kamvuelh khaw, anih kho neh a taengkah hlang rhoek kho silh nah hamla tui khaw a paek.
32So the man came to the house, and the camels were unloaded. Straw and feed were brought to the camels, and water to wash his feet and the feet of his companions.
33Te phoeiah caak te amih hmai ah a tawn pah hatah, “Kamah kah olka ka thui hlanah ka ca mahpawh,” a ti nah. Te dongah, “Thui,” a ti nah hatah,
33Then a meal was set before the man, but he said, “I will not eat until I have told you what I came to say.” So Laban said, “Please speak.”
34“Kai tah Abraham kah sal ni.
34“I am Abraham’s servant,” he replied.
35Tahae ah BOEIPA loh ka boeipa te yoethen muep a paek dongah boei coeng. Te phoeiah anih te boiva khaw, saelhung khaw, cak neh sui khaw, salpa neh salnu khaw, kalauk neh laak khaw a paek.
35“The LORD has greatly blessed my master, and he has become rich. He has given him sheep and cattle, silver and gold, menservants and maidservants, camels and donkeys.
36Ka boeipa kah a yuu Sarah khaw a patong soiah ka boeipa ham ca a sak pah tih a taengkah koe boeih te anih ham a khueh pah.
36My master’s wife Sarah has borne him a son in her old age, and my master has given him everything he owns.
37Tedae ka boeipa loh kai te, 'Ka capa yuu ham tah kai loh kho ka sak thil khohmuen kah Kanaan nu te loh pah boeh.
37My master made me swear an oath and said, ‘You shall not take a wife for my son from the daughters of the Canaanites in whose land I dwell,
38Tedae a pa im la lat cet lamtah kamah huiko te ka ca yuu la loh pah,’ a ti tih a toem a ngam .
38but you shall go to my father’s house and to my kindred to take a wife for my son.’
39Tedae ka boeipa te, 'Kai hnukah huta te halo pawt khaming,’ ka ti nah hatah,
39Then I asked my master, ‘What if the woman will not come back with me?’
40'BOEIPA amah mikhmuh ah ni kai ka caeh. Nang taengah amah kah puencawn te han tueih vetih na longpuei a thaihtak sak vaengah ka capa yuu khaw kamah huiko neh a pa im lamkah te na loh thai ni.
40And he told me, ‘The LORD, before whom I have walked, will send His angel with you and make your journey a success, so that you may take a wife for my son from my kindred and from my father’s house.
41Kamah huiko taengla na pawk mak atah kai kah thaephoeinah lamkah m'hmil bitni. Nang taengah a canu te m'paek uh pawt akhaw kai kah thaephoeinah lamkah ommongsitoe la na om ngawn ni, ' a ti.
41And when you go to my kindred, if they refuse to give her to you, then you will be released from my oath.’
42Tedae tihnin ah tuiphuet te kam pha tih, 'Ka boei Abraham kah Pathen BOEIPA aw, namah na om atah he la ka pongpa vaengah ka longpuei han thaihtak sak laeh.
42So when I came to the spring today, I prayed: O LORD, God of my master Abraham, if only You would make my journey a success!
43Kai loh tuiphuet kah tui taengah he ka pai vaengah tuithan la aka lo hula te om mai tih anih te, “Na amrhaeng dongkah tui te kai bet n'tul laem,’ ka ti nah vetih,
43Here I am, standing beside this spring. Now if a maiden comes out to draw water and I say to her, ‘Please let me drink a little water from your jar,’
44Te vaengah kai taengah, 'Namah o ngawn lamtah na kalauk rhoek ham khaw kan than eh?,’ ti saeh. Tekah huta te ka boeipa kah a capa ham BOEIPA loh hmoel saeh,” ka ti.
44and she replies, ‘Drink, and I will draw water for your camels as well,’ may she be the woman the LORD has appointed for my master’s son.
45Kai loh ka lungbuei ah ka thangthui te ka khah hlanah mah Rebekah loh a laengpang sokah amrhaeng neh tarha ha pawk tih tuiphuet la suntla thuk. Tui a than phoeiah anih te, 'Kai n'tul laem,’ ka ti nah.
45And before I had finished praying in my heart, there was Rebekah coming out with her jar on her shoulder, and she went down to the spring and drew water. So I said to her, ‘Please give me a drink.’
46Te vaengah amah pum dongkah amrhaeng te koe a hal tih, 'O lamtah na kalauk rhoek khaw ka tul eh?,” a ti. Te dongah ka ok tih kalauk rhoek te khaw tui a tul.
46She quickly lowered her jar from her shoulder and said, ‘Drink, and I will water your camels as well.’ So I drank, and she also watered the camels.
47Te phoeiah anih te ka dawt tih, 'Nang u canu lae?' ka ti nah vaengah Milkah loh Nakhaw ham a sak pah a capa Bethuel canu ni, ' a ti. Te dongah a hnarhong ah hnaii ka bang pah tih a kut ah khungpak ka buen sak.
47Then I asked her, ‘Whose daughter are you?’ She replied, ‘The daughter of Bethuel son of Nahor, whom Milcah bore to him.’ So I put the ring on her nose and the bracelets on her wrists.
48Te phoeiah ka buluk tih BOEIPA te ka bawk vaengah, “Ka boei kah a manuca canu te a capa ham aka lo la oltak longpuei ah kai aka mawt ka boei Abraham kah BOEIPA Pathen te ka uem.
48Then I bowed down and worshiped the LORD; and I blessed the LORD, the God of my master Abraham, who led me on the right road to take the granddaughter of my master’s brother for his son.
49Tedae tahae ah ka boeipa ham sitlohnah neh uepomnah tueng ham na huem atah kai taengah thui lah. Kai taengah na thui uh pawt bal atah banvoei bantang la ka mael mai eh,” a ti nah.
49Now if you will show kindness and faithfulness to my master, tell me; but if not, let me know, so that I may go elsewhere.”
50Te dongah Laban neh Bethuel loh a doo tih, “BOEIPA lamkah olka aka thoeng te a thae then khaw nang taengah ka thui rhoi thai pawh.
50Laban and Bethuel answered, “This is from the LORD; we have no choice in the matter.
51Na mikhmuh ah Rebekah aka om he lo lamtah caeh puei . BOEIPA kah a thui vanbangla na boeipa capa kah a yuu la om saeh,” a ti rhoi.
51Rebekah is here before you. Take her and go, and let her become the wife of your master’s son, just as the LORD has decreed.”
52Amih rhoi kah olka te Abraham kah sal loh a yaak vaengah BOEIPA taengah diklai la bakop tih a bawk.
52When Abraham’s servant heard their words, he bowed down to the ground before the LORD.
53Te phoeiah salpa loh cak hnopai neh sui hnopai khaw, himbai khaw a sat tih Rebekah te a paek. A nganpa neh a manu te khaw kawnthen a paek pah.
53Then he brought out jewels of silver and gold, and articles of clothing, and he gave them to Rebekah. He also gave precious gifts to her brother and her mother.
54Te daengah amah neh amah taengkah hlang rhoek khaw a caak a ok uh tih rhaeh uh. Mincang a thoh uh vaengah, “Ka boeipa taengah kai n'tueih mai laeh,” a ti nah.
54Then he and the men with him ate and drank and spent the night there. When they got up the next morning, he said, “Send me on my way to my master.”
55Tedae a nganpa neh a manu loh, “Hula he kaimih taengah khohnin hninrha tluk om dae vetih na cet mako,” a ti nah.
55But her brother and mother said, “Let the girl remain with us ten days or so. After that, she may go.”
56Te dongah Abraham kah salpa loh amih taengah, “BOEIPA loh ka longpuei han thaihtak sak vanbangla kai he n'hloh uh boel mai. Ka boeipa taengah n'tueih mai lamtah kai ka cet mai eh,” a ti nah.
56But he replied, “Do not delay me, since the LORD has made my journey a success. Send me on my way so that I may go to my master.”
57Te dongah, “Hula te khue uh sih lamtah amah olthui te dawt uh dae sih,” a ti uh.
57So they said, “We will call the girl and ask her opinion.”
58Rebekah te a khue uh phoeiah, “Hekah hlang taengah na cet aya?” a ti nah uh vaengah, “Ka cet ni ta,” a ti.
58They called Rebekah and asked her, “Will you go with this man?” “I will go,” she replied.
59Te dongah a ngannu Rebekah neh anih kah cakhoem te khaw, Abraham kah sal neh a hlang rhoek te khaw a tueih uh.
59So they sent their sister Rebekah on her way, along with her nurse and Abraham’s servant and his men.
60Te vaengah Rebekah te yoethen a paek uh tih amah taengah, “Ka ngannu nang tah a thawng thawngrha la coeng lamtah, na tiingan loh a lunguet kah vongka te huul saeh,” a ti nahuh.
60And they blessed Rebekah and said to her, “Our sister, may you become the mother of thousands upon thousands. May your offspring possess the gates of their enemies.”
61Te phoeiah Rebekah neh hula rhoek te thoo uh tih kalauk soah ngol uh. tongpa hnukah a caeh uh ham coeng dongah Rebekah te Abraham kah sal loh a loh tih a caeh puei .
61Then Rebekah and her servant girls got ready, mounted the camels, and followed the man. So the servant took Rebekah and left.
62Te vaengah Negev kho ah khosak ham Beerlahairoi lamkah aka lo Isaak khaw ha pawk.
62Now Isaac had just returned from Beer-lahai-roi, for he was living in the Negev.
63Hlaem a pha vaengah Isaak te lohma la cet tih kho a poek . Te vaengah a mik a huel tih a sawt hatah kalauk tarha ha khong pah.
63Early in the evening, Isaac went out to the field to meditate, and looking up, he saw the camels approaching.
64Rebekah long khaw a mik a huel hatah Isaak te a hmuh tih kalauk so lamloh rhum thuk.
64And when Rebekah looked up and saw Isaac, she got down from her camel
65Te phoeiah salpa taengah, “Mamih doe ham lohma li ah tongpa aka lo ke ulae?,” a ti nah vaengah a salpa loh, “Ka boeipa ni,” a ti nah dongah hnii te a loh tih a yil.
65and asked the servant, “Who is that man in the field coming to meet us?” “It is my master,” the servant answered. So she took her veil and covered herself.
66Te phoeiah salpa loh a saii hno boeih te Isaak taengah a thui.
66Then the servant told Isaac all that he had done.
67Isaak loh hula te dap khuikah a manu Sarah taengla akhuen. Te phoeiah Rebekah te a loh tih anih yuu la coeng. Te dongah anih te a lungnah tih a manu hnukah Isaak khaw hal van.
67And Isaac brought her into the tent of his mother Sarah and took Rebekah as his wife. And Isaac loved her and was comforted after his mother’s death.
