1Pea naʻe motuʻa ʻa ʻEpalahame, pea lahi ʻaupito ʻa hono ngaahi ʻaho; pea naʻe tāpuaki ʻe Sihova ʻa ʻEpalahame ʻi he meʻa kotoa pē.
1Abraham was old, and well advanced in age. The LORD had blessed Abraham in all things.
2Pea pehē ʻe ʻEpalahame ki ke motuʻa tamaioʻeiki ʻi hono fale, ʻaia naʻe pule ki heʻene meʻa kotoa pē, “ʻOku ou kole ke ke ai ho nima ʻi hoku lalo tenga:
2Abraham said to his servant, the elder of his house, who ruled over all that he had, “Please put your hand under my thigh.
3He ko hoku loto, ke ke fuakava ʻia Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻoe langi, pea ko e ʻOtua ʻo māmani, ke ʻoua naʻa ke fili ha uaifi ki hoku foha ʻi he ngaahi ʻofefine ʻoe kakai Kēnani, ʻaia ʻoku ou ʻāunofo ki ai.
3I will make you swear by the LORD, the God of heaven and the God of the earth, that you shall not take a wife for my son of the daughters of the Canaanites, among whom I live.
4Ka te ke ʻalu ki hoku fonua, ki hoku kāinga, mo ke fili mai ha uaifi ki hoku foha ko ʻAisake.”
4But you shall go to my country, and to my relatives, and take a wife for my son Isaac.”
5Pea pehēange ʻe he tamaioʻeiki kiate ia, “Kapau ʻe ʻikai fie haʻu mo au ʻae fefine ki he fonua ni; ʻe fēfē, te u toe ʻave ho foha ki he fonua naʻa ke haʻu mei ai?”
5The servant said to him, “What if the woman isn’t willing to follow me to this land? Must I bring your son again to the land you came from?”
6Pea talaange ʻe ʻEpalahame kiate ia, “Vakai, ʻoua ʻaupito naʻa ke toe ʻave hoku foha ki ai.
6Abraham said to him, “Beware that you don’t bring my son there again.
7Ko Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻoe langi, ʻaia naʻe ʻomi au mei he fale ʻo ʻeku tamai, mo e fonua ʻo hoku kāinga, pea naʻa ne lea kiate au mo ne fuakava kiate au, ʻo pehē, Te u foaki ki ho hako ʻae fonua ni: te ne fekau ʻene ʻāngelo ke muʻomuʻa ʻiate koe, pea te ke ʻomi mei ai ha uaifi ki hoku foha.
7The LORD, the God of heaven—who took me from my father’s house, and from the land of my birth, who spoke to me, and who swore to me, saying, ‘I will give this land to your offspring—he will send his angel before you, and you shall take a wife for my son from there.
8Pea kapau ʻe ʻikai loto ʻae fefine ke haʻu mo koe, te ke ʻataʻatā ai mei he ʻe ta fuakava ni: kaeʻoua naʻa ke toe ʻave hoku foha ki ai.”
8If the woman isn’t willing to follow you, then you shall be clear from this oath to me. Only you shall not bring my son there again.”
9Pea naʻe ai ʻe he tamaioʻeiki hono nima ki he lalo tenga ʻo hono ʻeiki ko ʻEpalahame, pea ne fuakava kiate ia, koeʻuhi ko e meʻa ni.
9The servant put his hand under the thigh of Abraham his master, and swore to him concerning this matter.
10¶ Pea naʻe fili mai ʻe he tamaioʻeiki ʻae kāmeli ʻe hongofulu ʻi he fanga kāmeli ʻa ʻene ʻeiki, pea ʻalu; he naʻe ʻiate ia ʻae ngaahi meʻa kotoa pē ʻa ʻene ʻeiki, pea tuʻu hake ia ʻo ʻalu ki Mesopōtemia, ki he kolo ʻo Nehoa.
10The servant took ten of his master’s camels, and departed, having a variety of good things of his master’s with him. He arose, and went to Mesopotamia, to the city of Nahor.
11Pea naʻa ne fakatūʻulutui ʻene fanga kāmeli ʻi he tuaʻā kolo ʻi he veʻe vaikeli, ʻi he feituʻulaʻā efiafi, ʻio, ʻi he feituʻulaʻā ʻoku ʻalu ai ʻae kau fefine ke utu vai.
11He made the camels kneel down outside the city by the well of water at the time of evening, the time that women go out to draw water.
12Pea pehē ʻe ia, “E Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻeku ʻeiki ko ʻEpalahame, ʻoku ou kole kiate koe, ke ke fakamonūʻia au he ʻaho ni, pea ke fakahā hoʻo ʻofa ki heʻeku ʻeiki ko ʻEpalahame.
12He said, “LORD, the God of my master Abraham, please give me success today, and show kindness to my master Abraham.
13Vakai, ʻoku ou tuʻu ʻi heni, ʻi he veʻe vaikeli; pea ʻe haʻu ʻae ngaahi ʻofefine ʻoe kakai ʻoe kolo ke utu vai.
13Behold, I am standing by the spring of water. The daughters of the men of the city are coming out to draw water.
14Tuku ke hoko ʻo pehē, ke ʻilonga ʻae taʻahine, ʻaia te u pehē ki ai, ‘ʻOku ou kole kiate koe, tuku hifo hoʻo hina, ke u inu; pea te ne pehē mai, Inu, pea te u fakainu hoʻo fanga kāmeli foki;’ ko ia ia kuo ke fili maʻa hoʻo tamaioʻeiki ko ʻAisake: pea te u ʻilo ai kuo ke fakahā ʻae ʻofa ki heʻeku ʻeiki.”
14Let it happen, that the young lady to whom I will say, ‘Please let down your pitcher, that I may drink,’ then she says, ‘Drink, and I will also give your camels a drink,’—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.”
15¶ Pea naʻe hoko, ʻo pehē, ʻi he teʻeki ai ʻosi ʻene lea, vakai naʻe haʻu mo ʻene hina vai ʻi hono uma, ʻa Lepeka ʻaia naʻe tupu ia Petueli, ko e tama ʻa Milika, ko e uaifi ʻo Nehoa, ko e taʻokete ʻo ʻEpalahame.
15Before he had finished speaking, behold, Rebekah came out, who was born to Bethuel the son of Milcah, the wife of Nahor, Abraham’s brother, with her pitcher on her shoulder.
16Pea naʻe hoihoifua ʻae taʻahine ke sio ki ai, pea ko e tāupoʻou ia, he naʻe teʻeki ʻiloʻi ia ʻe ha tangata; pea ne ʻalu hifo ia ki he vai, ʻo fakafonu ʻene hina pea toe ʻalu hake.
16The young lady was very beautiful to look at, a virgin. No man had known her. She went down to the spring, filled her pitcher, and came up.
17Pea lele ʻae tamaioʻeiki ke fakafetaulaki kiate ia, ʻo ne pehē kiate ia: “ʻOku ou kole ke u inu ha vai siʻi ʻi hoʻo hina.”
17The servant ran to meet her, and said, “Please give me a drink, a little water from your pitcher.”
18Pea pehēange ʻe ia, “Ko ʻeku ʻeiki ke ke inu;” pea fakatoʻotoʻo ia ʻo tuku hifo ʻae hina ki hono nima, ʻo ne fakainu ia.
18She said, “Drink, my lord.” She hurried, and let down her pitcher on her hand, and gave him a drink.
19Pea hili ʻene fakainu ia, pea pehē ʻe ia, “Te u utu ki hoʻo fanga kāmeli foki ke ʻoua ke nau fiu.”
19When she had finished giving him a drink, she said, “I will also draw for your camels, until they have finished drinking.”
20Pea fakatoʻotoʻo ia, pea lingi ʻae vai mei he hina ki he tukuʻanga vai, pea toe lele ki he vai ke utu, pea naʻa ne utu ki heʻene fanga kāmeli kotoa pē.
20She hurried, and emptied her pitcher into the trough, and ran again to the well to draw, and drew for all his camels.
21Pea naʻe ofo ʻae tangata kiate ia, kae fakalongo pe, ko ʻene vakai pe kuo fakamonūʻia ʻe Sihova hono fononga pe ʻikai.
21The man looked steadfastly at her, remaining silent, to know whether the LORD had made his journey prosperous or not.
22Pea naʻe hoko ʻo pehē, ʻi he hili ʻae inu ʻae fanga kāmeli, naʻe toʻo ʻe he tangata ʻae hau koula, ko e vaheua ʻoe sikeli siliva hono mamafa, pea mo e lelu koula ʻe ua ki hono nima, ko e sikeli ʻe hongofulu hono mamafa.
22As the camels had finished drinking, the man took a golden ring of half a shekel weight, and two bracelets for her hands of ten shekels weight of gold,
23Pea ne pehē, “Ko e ʻofefine ʻohai koe? ʻOku ou kole ke ke tala mai, pe ʻoku ʻataʻatā ʻae ʻapi ʻo hoʻo tamai ke mau ʻapitanga ai.”
23and said, “Whose daughter are you? Please tell me. Is there room in your father’s house for us to stay?”
24Pea ne pehē kiate ia, “Ko e ʻofefine au ʻo Petueli ko e tama ʻa Milika, ʻaia naʻa ne fāʻeleʻi kia Nehoa.”
24She said to him, “I am the daughter of Bethuel the son of Milcah, whom she bore to Nahor.”
25Pea ne pehē foki kiate ia, “ʻOku mau maʻu ʻae mohuku mo e meʻakai lahi pea ʻoku ʻataʻatā homau ʻapi ke mou ʻapitanga ki ai.”
25She said moreover to him, “We have both straw and feed enough, and room to lodge in.”
26Pea tulolo hifo ʻae tangata hono ʻulu, pea hū ia kia Sihova.
26The man bowed his head, and worshiped the LORD.
27ʻO ne pehē, “ʻOku monūʻia ʻa Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻa ʻeku ʻeiki ko ʻEpalahame, ʻaia ʻoku ʻikai te ne fakamasiva ʻeku ʻeiki ʻi heʻene ʻaloʻofa mo ʻene moʻoni; naʻaku ʻi he hala, pea kuo tataki au ʻe Sihova ki he fale ʻoe kāinga ʻo ʻeku ʻeiki.”
27He said, “Blessed be the LORD, the God of my master Abraham, who has not forsaken his loving kindness and his truth toward my master. As for me, the LORD has led me on the way to the house of my master’s relatives.”
28Pea naʻe lele ʻae taʻahine, ʻo fakahā ki he fale ʻo ʻene faʻē, ʻae ngaahi meʻa ni.
28The young lady ran, and told her mother’s house about these words.
29¶ Pea naʻe ʻi ai ʻae tuongaʻane ʻo Lepeka ko Lepani hono hingoa; pea lele kituʻa ʻa Lepani ki he tangata, ʻi he vaikeli.
29Rebekah had a brother, and his name was Laban. Laban ran out to the man, to the spring.
30Pea naʻe hoko ʻo pehē, ʻi heʻene mamata ki he hau, mo e lelu ʻi he nima ʻo hono tuofefine, pea mo ʻene fanongo ki he ngaahi lea ʻa Lepeka ko hono tuofefine, ʻo pehē, naʻe lea pehē mai ʻae tangata kiate au; pea haʻu leva ia ki he tangata; pea vakai naʻe tuʻu ia ʻo ofi ki he fanga kāmeli ʻi he veʻe vaikeli.
30When he saw the ring, and the bracelets on his sister’s hands, and when he heard the words of Rebekah his sister, saying, “This is what the man said to me,” he came to the man. Behold, he was standing by the camels at the spring.
31Pea pehē ʻe ia, “Haʻu ki heni, ʻa koe ko e monūʻia ʻo Sihova; ko e hā ʻoku ke kei tuʻu ai ʻi tuaʻā? He kuo ʻosi ʻeku teu ʻae fale, mo e potu ki he fanga kāmeli.
31He said, “Come in, you blessed of the LORD. Why do you stand outside? For I have prepared the house, and room for the camels.”
32¶ Pea naʻe hū ʻae tangata ki he fale; pea ne vete ʻae fanga kāmeli, pea ne ʻatu ʻae mohuku mo e meʻakai ki he fanga kāmeli, mo e vai ke fufulu ai hono vaʻe mo e vaʻe ʻoe kau tangata naʻe ʻiate ia.
32The man came into the house, and he unloaded the camels. He gave straw and feed for the camels, and water to wash his feet and the feet of the men who were with him.
33Pea naʻe tuku ʻi hono ʻao ʻae meʻakai: ka naʻe pehē ʻe ia, “E ʻikai te u kai, kaeʻoua muʻa ke u fakahā ʻeku fekau,” pea ne pehē, “Ke ke lea.”
33Food was set before him to eat, but he said, “I will not eat until I have told my message.” Laban said, “Speak on.”
34Pea ne pehē ʻe ia, “Ko e tamaioʻeiki au ʻa ʻEpalahame,
34He said, “I am Abraham’s servant.
35Pea kuo tāpuaki lahi ʻe Sihova ʻeku ʻeiki; pea kuo hoko ia ʻo lahi: pea kuo ne foaki kiate ia ʻae fanga sipi, mo fanga manu, mo e siliva, mo e koula, mo e kau tamaioʻeiki mo e kau kaunanga, mo e fanga kāmeli, mo e fanga ʻasi.
35The LORD has blessed my master greatly. He has become great. The LORD has given him flocks and herds, silver and gold, male servants and female servants, and camels and donkeys.
36Pea ko Sela, ko e uaifi ʻo ʻeku ʻeiki naʻa ne fanauʻi ki heʻeku ʻeiki ʻae tama heʻene motuʻa; pea kuo ne tuku ʻa ʻene meʻa kotoa pē kiate ia.
36Sarah, my master’s wife, bore a son to my master when she was old. He has given all that he has to him.
37Pea naʻe fekau ʻe heʻeku ʻeiki kiate au ke u fuakava, ʻo pehē, ‘E ʻikai te ke fili ha uaifi ki hoku foha mei he ngaahi ʻofefine ʻoe kakai Kēnani, ʻaia ʻoku ʻonautolu ʻae fonua ʻoku ou nofo ai;’
37My master made me swear, saying, ‘You shall not take a wife for my son from the daughters of the Canaanites, in whose land I live,
38Ka ke ʻalu ki he fale ʻo ʻeku tamai mo hoku kāinga, ʻo ʻomi mei ai ha uaifi ki hoku foha.
38but you shall go to my father’s house, and to my relatives, and take a wife for my son.’
39Pea naʻaku pehē ki heʻeku ʻeiki, ‘Ka e fēfē ʻoka ʻikai fie haʻu ʻae fefine mo au?’
39I asked my master, ‘What if the woman will not follow me?’
40Pea pehē mai ʻe ia kiate au, ‘Ko Sihova ʻaia ʻoku ou ʻalu ʻi hono ʻao, te ne fekau ʻene ʻāngelo ke ʻalu mo koe ʻo fakamonūʻia hoʻo ʻalu; pea te ke ʻomi ha uaifi ki hoku foha mei hoku kāinga mo e fale ʻo ʻeku tamai:
40He said to me, ‘The LORD, before whom I walk, will send his angel with you, and prosper your way. You shall take a wife for my son from my relatives, and of my father’s house.
41Pea te ke ʻataʻatā mei heʻeku fuakava ni, ʻoka ke ka hoko ki hoku kāinga, pea kapau ʻe ʻikai te nau tuku ha tokotaha kiate koe, pea te ke ʻataʻatā mei he ʻe tā fuakava ni.’
41Then you will be clear from my oath, when you come to my relatives. If they don’t give her to you, you shall be clear from my oath.’
42Pea naʻaku haʻu he ʻaho ni ki he vaikeli pea u pehē, ‘E Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻeku ʻeiki ko ʻEpalahame, kapau ʻoku ke fakamonūʻia hoku hala, ʻaia ʻoku ou ʻalu ai:
42I came today to the spring, and said, ‘The LORD, the God of my master Abraham, if now you do prosper my way which I go—
43Vakai ʻoku ou tuʻu ʻi he veʻe vaikeli pea te u pehē, ʻoka haʻu ha taʻahine ke utu vai, te u pehē kiate ia, ‘ʻOku ou kole kiate koe, tuku mai ha vai siʻi ʻi hoʻo hina ke u inu:’
43behold, I am standing by this spring of water. Let it happen, that the maiden who comes out to draw, to whom I will say, “Please give me a little water from your pitcher to drink,”
44Pea kapau te ne pehē mai kiate au, ‘Inu koe, pea te u utu ha vai ki hoʻo fanga kāmeli foki,’ ʻofa ko e fefine ko ia kuo fili ʻe Sihova ki he foha ʻo ʻeku ʻeiki.
44then she tells me, “Drink, and I will also draw for your camels,”—let her be the woman whom the LORD has appointed for my master’s son.’
45Pea naʻe teʻeki ai ʻosi ʻeku lea ʻi hoku loto, mo ʻene hoko mai ʻa Lepeka mo ʻene hina ʻi hono uma: pea hifo ia ki he vai, ʻo utu, pea ne u pehē kiate ia, ‘ʻOku ou kole kiate koe tuku mai ke u inu.’
45Before I had finished speaking in my heart, behold, Rebekah came out with her pitcher on her shoulder. She went down to the spring, and drew. I said to her, ‘Please let me drink.’
46Pea naʻe fakatoʻotoʻo ia ʻo tuku hifo ʻene hina mei hono uma, ʻo ne pehē, ‘Inu, pea te u fakainu hoʻo fanga kāmeli foki; pea u inu, pea naʻa ne fakainu ʻae fanga kāmeli foki.
46She hurried and let down her pitcher from her shoulder, and said, ‘Drink, and I will also give your camels a drink.’ So I drank, and she also gave the camels a drink.
47Pea naʻaku fehuʻi kiate ia ʻo pehē, ‘Ko e ʻofefine ʻohai koe?’ Pea pehē ʻe ia, ‘Ko e ʻofefine ʻo Petueli, ko e foha ʻo Nehoa ʻaia naʻe fanauʻi ʻe Milika kiate ia: pea naʻaku ai ʻae hau ki hono mata, mo e lelu ki hono nima.’
47I asked her, and said, ‘Whose daughter are you?’ She said, ‘The daughter of Bethuel, Nahor’s son, whom Milcah bore to him.’ I put the ring on her nose, and the bracelets on her hands.
48Pea punou hifo hoku mata ʻo hū mo e fakafetaʻi kia Sihova, ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻeku ʻeiki ko ʻEpalahame, ʻaia naʻe tataki au ʻi he hala totonu ke ʻave ʻae ʻofefine ʻoe tokoua ʻa ʻeku ʻeiki ki hono foha.
48I bowed my head, and worshiped the LORD, and blessed the LORD, the God of my master Abraham, who had led me in the right way to take my master’s brother’s daughter for his son.
49Pea ko eni, kapau te mou fai ʻofa mo totonu, ki heʻeku ʻeiki, tala mai, pea ka ʻikai, tala mai, koeʻuhi ke u afe ki he nima toʻomataʻu, pe ki he toʻohema.”
49Now if you will deal kindly and truly with my master, tell me. If not, tell me, that I may turn to the right hand, or to the left.”
50Pea lea ʻa Lepani mo Petueli, ʻo pehēange, “ʻOku haʻu ʻae meʻa ni meia Sihova; pea ʻoku ʻikai te ma faʻa lea ʻaki kiate koe ʻae kovi pe ko e lelei;
50Then Laban and Bethuel answered, “The thing proceeds from the LORD. We can’t speak to you bad or good.
51Vakai, ʻoku ʻi ho ʻao ʻa Lepeka, toʻo ia, pea ʻalu, pea ke hoko ia ko e uaifi ki he foha ʻo hoʻo ʻeiki, ʻo hangē ko e folofola ʻa Sihova.”
51Behold, Rebekah is before you. Take her, and go, and let her be your master’s son’s wife, as the LORD has spoken.”
52Pea ʻi he fanongo ʻae tamaioʻeiki ʻa ʻEpalahame ki he ngaahi lea ni, naʻe hū ia kia Sihova, ʻo ne punou ki he kelekele;
52When Abraham’s servant heard their words, he bowed himself down to the earth to the LORD.
53Pea toʻo ʻe he tamaioʻeiki ʻae ngaahi teunga siliva, mo e ngaahi teunga koula, mo e ngaahi kofu, ʻo ne foaki ia kia Lepeka; pea ne foaki ʻae ngaahi meʻa mahuʻinga ki hono tuongaʻane, mo ʻene faʻē.
53The servant brought out jewels of silver, and jewels of gold, and clothing, and gave them to Rebekah. He also gave precious things to her brother and her mother.
54Pea naʻa nau kai mo inu, ko ia mo e kau tangata naʻe ʻiate ia, pea nau mohe ʻi he pō ko ia: pea nau tuʻu hake ʻi he pongipongi, pea naʻa ne pehē, “Tuku au ke u ʻalu ki heʻeku ʻeiki.”
54They ate and drank, he and the men who were with him, and stayed all night. They rose up in the morning, and he said, “Send me away to my master.”
55Pea pehēange ʻe hono tuongaʻane mo ʻene faʻē, “Tuku muʻa ke mau nonofo mo e taʻahine ʻi he ʻaho niʻihi, ʻae ʻaho ʻe hongofulu nai; pea hili ia ʻe toki ʻalu atu.”
55Her brother and her mother said, “Let the young lady stay with us a few days, at least ten. After that she will go.”
56Pea pehēange ʻe ia kiate kinaua, “ʻOua te mo taʻofi au, he kuo fakamonūʻia ʻe Sihova hoku hala: tuku au ke u ʻalu ki heʻeku ʻeiki.”
56He said to them, “Don’t hinder me, since the LORD has prospered my way. Send me away that I may go to my master.”
57Pea naʻa na pehē, “Te ma ui ʻae taʻahine ʻo fehuʻi mei hono ngutu.”
57They said, “We will call the young lady, and ask her.”
58Pea naʻa na ui ʻa Lepeka, ʻo pehē kiate ia, “Te ke ʻalu mo e tangata ni?” Pea pehēange ʻe ia, “Te u ʻalu.”
58They called Rebekah, and said to her, “Will you go with this man?” She said, “I will go.”
59Pea naʻa nau tuku ʻa Lepeka ko honau tuofefine ke ne ʻalu mo hono fefine tauhi, mo e tamaioʻeiki ʻa ʻEpalahame, mo ʻene kau tangata.
59They sent away Rebekah, their sister, with her nurse, Abraham’s servant, and his men.
60Pea naʻa nau tāpuaki ʻa Lepeka ʻo pehē kiate ia, “Ko homau tuofefine koe, ʻofa ke ke hoko koe ko e faʻē ʻoe ngaahi toko afe taʻefaʻalaua, pea ke maʻu ʻe ho hako ʻae matapā ʻonautolu ʻoku fehiʻa kiate koe.”
60They blessed Rebekah, and said to her, “Our sister, may you be the mother of thousands of ten thousands, and let your offspring possess the gate of those who hate them.”
61¶ Pea naʻe tuʻu hake ʻa Lepeka mo hono kau fefine, pea nau heka ʻi he fanga kāmeli ʻo muimui ki he tangata; pea ʻave ʻa Lepeka ʻe he tamaioʻeiki, pea fononga ʻi hono hala.
61Rebekah arose with her ladies. They rode on the camels, and followed the man. The servant took Rebekah, and went his way.
62Ka naʻe haʻu ʻa ʻAisake ʻi he hala mei he vai ko Lehai-Loʻai; he naʻa ne nofo ʻi he potu tonga.
62Isaac came from the way of Beer Lahai Roi, for he lived in the land of the South.
63Pea ʻalu atu ʻa ʻAisake ki he ngoue ʻi he efiafi, ke ne lotu; pea ne hanga hake hono mata ʻo sio, pea vakai ʻoku haʻu ʻae fanga kāmeli.
63Isaac went out to meditate in the field at the evening. He lifted up his eyes and looked. Behold, there were camels coming.
64Pea hanga hake ʻe Lepeka hono mata, pea ʻi heʻene mamata kia ʻAisake, naʻe ʻalu hifo ia mei he kāmeli.
64Rebekah lifted up her eyes, and when she saw Isaac, she got off the camel.
65He kuo ʻosi ʻene fehuʻi ki he tamaioʻeiki, ʻo pehē, ‘Ko hai ʻae tangata ko ia ʻoku haʻu ʻi he ngoue ke fakafetaulaki mai kiate kitautolu?” Pea naʻe pehēange ʻe he tamaioʻeiki, “Ko ʻeku ʻeiki ia: ko ia naʻa ne toʻo ai ʻae pulupulu, ʻo fakapulou ʻaki ia.”
65She said to the servant, “Who is the man who is walking in the field to meet us?” The servant said, “It is my master.” She took her veil, and covered herself.
66Pea naʻe fakamatala ʻe he tamaioʻeiki kia ʻAisake ʻae ngaahi meʻa kotoa pē naʻa ne fai.
66The servant told Isaac all the things that he had done.
67Pea naʻe ʻomi ia ʻe ʻAisake ki he fale fehikitaki ʻo ʻene faʻē ko Sela, pea ne maʻu ʻa Lepeka, pea hoko ia ko hono uaifi: pea ʻofa ia kiate ia; pea naʻe fiemālie ʻa ʻAisake ʻi he hili ange ʻae pekia o ʻene faʻē.
67Isaac brought her into his mother Sarah’s tent, and took Rebekah, and she became his wife. He loved her. So Isaac was comforted after his mother’s death.
