Baibala Hemolele (Hawaiian Bible, 1868 revision)
1Abraham was old, and well advanced in age. The LORD had blessed Abraham in all things.
1U A elemakule o Aberahama, ua nui no hoi kona mau la, a ua hoopomaikai o Iehova ia Aberahama i na mea a pau.
2Abraham said to his servant, the elder of his house, who ruled over all that he had, “Please put your hand under my thigh.
2I aku la o Aberahama i ke kauwa kahiko o kona hale, i ka mea ia ia ka malama i kona mea a pau, E, e kau mai oe i kou lima malalo iho o ko'u uha:
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.
3A na'u no e haawi aku ia oe e hoohiki ma o Iehova la, ma ke Akua o ka lani, a ke Akua o ka honua; i lawe ole ai oe i wahine na ka'u keiki na Isaaka, no na kaikamahine a ko Kanaana ka poe a'u o noho nei iwaena.
4But you shall go to my country, and to my relatives, and take a wife for my son Isaac.”
4Aka, e hele aku oe i ko'u aina, a i ko'u poe hoahanau, a e lawe mai i wahine na ka'u keiki na Isaaka.
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?”
5I mai la ua kauwa nei ia ia, Ina paha aole e makemake ka wahine e hahai mai ia'u a hiki i keia aina: e pono anei ia'u e kai aku i kau keiki i ka aina au i hele mai nei?
6Abraham said to him, “Beware that you don’t bring my son there again.
6Papa aku la o Aberahama ia ia, E ao oe, mai kai aku oe i ka'u keiki malaila.
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.
7Na Iehova ke Akua o ka lani, nana au i lawe, mai ka hale mai o ko'u makuakane, a mai ka aina mai o ko'u poe hoahanau, a olelo mai ia'u, a hoohiki mai no hoi ia'u, i ka i ana mai, E haawi auanei au i keia aina no kau poe mamo; nana no e hoouna aku i kona anela mamua ou, a e lawe mai oe i wahine na ka'u keiki mailaila mai.
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.”
8A i makemake ole ka wahine e hahai mai ia oe, alaila e hala ole oe i keia hoohiki ana no'u: aka, mai kai aku oe i ka'u keiki ilaila.
9The servant put his hand under the thigh of Abraham his master, and swore to him concerning this matter.
9A kau iho la ke kauwa i kona lima malalo iho o ka uha o Aberahama kona haku, a hoohiki iho la nona ma ia mea.
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.
10Lalau aku la ua kauwa la i na kamelo o kona haku he umi, no ka mea, ma kona lima ka waiwai a pau o kona haku: ku ae la ia, a hele aku la i Mesopotamia, i ke kulanakauhale o Nahora.
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.
11Hookukuli iho la ia i kona mau kamelo mawaho o ke kulanakauhale, ma ka luawai, i ke ahiahi, i ka manawa e hele mai ai na wahine e huki wai.
12He said, “LORD, the God of my master Abraham, please give me success today, and show kindness to my master Abraham.
12I aku la ia, E Iehova ke Akua o kuu haku o Aberahama, ke pule aku nei au ia oe, e hoopomaikai mai oe ia'u i keia la, a e lokomaikai mai oe i kuu haku ia Aberahama,
13Behold, I am standing by the spring of water. The daughters of the men of the city are coming out to draw water.
13Eia au ke ku nei ma ka luawai; a e hele mai ana na kaikamahine a na kanaka o ke kulanakauhale e huki i ka wai:
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.”
14E ae mai oe, o ke kaikamahine a'u e olelo aku ai, Ke noi aku nei au ia oe, e kuu iho oe i kou bakeke, i inu ai au; a e i mai oia, E inu oe, a e hoohainu hoi au i na kamelo: oia no ka mea au i koho ai na kau kauwa na Isaaka: ilaila au e ike ai i kau lokomaikai ana mai i kuu haku.
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.
15Aole ia i hooki iho i kana olelo ana, Aia hoi, hiki mai la o Rebeka, ka mea i hanau na Betuela, na ke keikikane a Mileka a ka wahine a Nahora, ko Aberahama kaikuaana, me kona bakeke maluna o kona poohiwi.
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.
16Ua maikai ka maka o ua kaikamahine la ke nanaia'ku, he wahine puupaa, aole i ikeia e kekahi kane: iho iho la ia ma ka luawai, hoopiha iho la i kona bakeke, a hoi mai la iluna.
17The servant ran to meet her, and said, “Please give me a drink, a little water from your pitcher.”
17Holo aku la ua kauwa la e halawai me ia, i aku la, E, ke noi aku nei au ia oe, e ho mai no'u i wahi wai o kou bakeke e inu.
18She said, “Drink, my lord.” She hurried, and let down her pitcher on her hand, and gave him a drink.
18I mai la kela, E inu oe, e kuu haku a wikiwiki oia i kuu iho i kona bakeke ma kona lima, a hoohainu mai la ia ia.
19When she had finished giving him a drink, she said, “I will also draw for your camels, until they have finished drinking.”
19A pau kana hoohainu ana ia ia, i mai la ia, E huki hoi au i ka wai no kou mau kamelo, a pau ko lakou inu ana.
20She hurried, and emptied her pitcher into the trough, and ran again to the well to draw, and drew for all his camels.
20Wikiwiki ae la ia, a ninini iho la i ka wai o kona bakeke iloko o ke pa, a holo hou ae la i ka luawai e huki ai, a huki mai la ia no kona poe kamelo a pau.
21The man looked steadfastly at her, remaining silent, to know whether the LORD had made his journey prosperous or not.
21Mahalo iho la ka naau o ua kanaka la ia ia, aole ia i ekemu aku, i mea e ike ai oia, i ka hoopomaikai ana mai paha o Iehova i kona hele ana mai, aole paha.
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,
22A pau ka inu ana o na kamelo, lawe ae la ua kanaka la i kekahi apo gula no ka ihu, he hapalua o ka sekela ma ke kaupouna ana, me na kupee gula elua no kona mau lima, he umi [na sekela] ma ke kaupouna ana;
23and said, “Whose daughter are you? Please tell me. Is there room in your father’s house for us to stay?”
23Ninau aku la ia, He kaikamahine oe nawai? ke noi aku nei au ia oe, e hai mai ia'u: a he wahi kaawale no anei iloko o ka hale o kou makuakane e moe ai makou?
24She said to him, “I am the daughter of Bethuel the son of Milcah, whom she bore to Nahor.”
24I mai la kela ia ia, Owau no ke kaikamahine a Betuela a ke keiki a Mileka, ana i hanau ai na Nahora.
25She said moreover to him, “We have both straw and feed enough, and room to lodge in.”
25I hou mai la hoi kela ia ia, He mauu maloo no a he ai na na holoholona ia makou a nui, a he wahi no hoi e moe ai.
26The man bowed his head, and worshiped the LORD.
26Kulou iho la ke poo o ua kanaka la, a hoomaikai aku la ia Iehova;
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.”
27I aku la, E hoomaikaiia'ku o Iehova ke Akua o kuu haku o Aberahama, aole ia i hoonele mai i kuu haku i kona aloha a me kona oiaio: ma ke alanui wau, a ua alakai aku o Iehova ia'u ma ka hale o na hoahanau o kuu haku.
28The young lady ran, and told her mother’s house about these words.
28Holo aku la ua kaikamahine la, a hai aku la i ko ka hale o kona makuwahine ia mau mea.
29Rebekah had a brother, and his name was Laban. Laban ran out to the man, to the spring.
29He kaikunane ko Rebeka, o Labana kona inoa; a holo mai la o Labana iwaho i ua kanaka la, ma ka luawai.
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.
30A ike aku la ia i ke apo no ka ihu, a me na kupee lima ma na lima o kona kaikuwahine, a lohe aku la ia i ka olelo a kona kaikuwahine a Rebeka, i ka i ana mai, Pela i olelo mai ai ke kanaka ia'u; hele mai la ia i ua kanaka nei; aia hoi, ku iho la ia me na kamelo ma ka luawai.
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.”
31I mai la ia, E ka mea i alohaia e Iehova, e komo mai oe; heaha kau e ku wale nei iwaho? no ka mea, ua hoomakaukau iho nei au i ka hale, a me ka wahi no na kamelo.
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.
32Komo aku la ua kanaka la iloko o ka hale: wehe ae la ia i na kamelo, a haawi aku la i ka mauu maloo a me ka mea ai na na kamelo, a me ka wai e holoi i kona mau wawae, a me na wawae o na kanaka me ia.
33Food was set before him to eat, but he said, “I will not eat until I have told my message.” Laban said, “Speak on.”
33A laweia mai ka ai nana: i aku la oia, Aole au e ai, a hai e aku au mamua i ka'u mea i hele mai nei. I mai la kela, E hai mai.
34He said, “I am Abraham’s servant.
34I aku la ia, Owau no ke kauwa a Aberahama.
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.
35Ua hoopomaikai nui mai o Iehova i kuu haku; a ua lilo ia i mea nui: ua haawi mai ia nana i hipa, a me na bipi, i ke kala a me ke gula, i na kauwakane a me na kauwawahine, i na kamelo a me na hoki.
36Sarah, my master’s wife, bore a son to my master when she was old. He has given all that he has to him.
36A hanau mai la o Sara ka wahine a kuu haku i keikikane nana i kona wa luwahine, a ua haawi aku kela i kona waiwai a pau nona.
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,
37A ua haawi mai kuu haku ia'u e hoohiki, i ka i ana mai, Mai lawe oe i wahine na kuu keiki no na kaikamahine a ko Kanaana, nona keia wahi a'u e noho nei:
38but you shall go to my father’s house, and to my relatives, and take a wife for my son.’
38Aka, e hele oe i ka ohana a kuu maknakane, a i ko'u poe hoahanau, a e lawe mai oe i wahine na kuu keiki.
39I asked my master, ‘What if the woman will not follow me?’
39I aku la au i kuu haku, Ina paha aole e makemake ka wahine e hahai mai ia'u.
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.
40I mai la kela ia'u, Na Iehova, na ka Mea imua ona ko'u hele ana, nana no e hoouna aku i kona anela me oe, a e hoopomaikai i kou hele ana; a e lawe mai oe i wahine na kuu keiki no ko'u poe hoahanau, a no ka ohana a ko'u makuakane:
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.’
41Alaila, e hala ole oe i kuu hoohiki ana, ke hiki aku oe i ko'u poe hoahanau, a haawi ole mai lakou ia oe, alaila e hala ole oe i kuu hoohiki ana.
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—
42A hiki mai la au i keia la i ka luawai, i aku la, E Iehova ke Akua o kuu haku o Aberahama, ina oe e hoopomaikai mai i kuu hele ana e hele nei:
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,”
43Eia wau, ke ku nei ma ka luawai, a i ka manawa e hele mai ai ka wahine puupaa e huki wai ai, a e i aku au ia ia, Ke noi aku nei au ia oe, e haawi mai no'u i wahi wai o kou bakeke e inu;
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.’
44A e olelo mai oia ia'u, E inu oe, a e huki hoi au no kou mau kamelo; oia ka wahine a Iehova i koho ai na ke keiki a ko'u haku.
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.’
45Aole au i hooki iho i ka olelo ana iloko o kuu naau, aia hoi, puka mai la o Rebeka, me kona bakeke maluna o kona poohiwi; iho iho la ia ma ka luawai, a huki mai la: i aku la au ia ia, Ke noi aku nei au ia oe, e haawi mai no'u e inu.
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.
46Wikiwiki iho la ia, a kuu iho la i kona bakeke mailuna iho ona, i mai la, E inu oe, a e hooinu hoi au i kou mau kamelo: inu iho la no au, a hooinu aku la hoi oia i na kamelo.
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.
47Ninau aku la au ia ia, i aku la, He kaikamahine oe nawai? I mai la kela, He kaikamahine na Betuela ke keiki a Nahora, na ka mea a Mileka i hanau ai nana: a lou aku la au i ke apo ma kona ihu, a me na kupee lima ma kona mau lima.
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.
48Kulou iho la au i kuu poo, a hoomana aku la ia Iehova, a hoomaikai aku la ia Iehova i ke Akua o kun haku o Aberahama, nana au i alakai ma ke ala pono, i lawe au i ke kaikamahine a ka hoahanau o kuu haku i wahine na kana keiki.
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.”
49Ano la, a i manao lokomaikai io mai oukou i kuu haku, e hai mai ia'u: a i ole, e hai mai hoi; i huli aku ai au i ka akau paha, i ka hema paha.
50Then Laban and Bethuel answered, “The thing proceeds from the LORD. We can’t speak to you bad or good.
50Alaila, olelo mai la o Labana laua o Betuela, i mai la, No Iehova mai ia mea; aole e hiki ia maua ke olelo aku ia oe he hewa, aole hoi he pono.
51Behold, Rebekah is before you. Take her, and go, and let her be your master’s son’s wife, as the LORD has spoken.”
51Aia hoi o Rebeka imua o kou alo, e lawe oe ia ia a e hele aku, i lilo ai ia i wahine na ke keiki a kou haku, e like me ka Iehova i olelo mai ai.
52When Abraham’s servant heard their words, he bowed himself down to the earth to the LORD.
52A lohe ae la ke kanwa a Aberahama i ka laua olelo, hoomana aku la ia ia Iehova, [e kulou ana] i ka honua.
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.
53Lawe mai la ua kauwa la i na mea kala a me na mea gula, a me na aahu, a haawi aku la ia mau mea no Rebeka: haawi aku la hoi oia i na mea maikai na kona kaikunane a me kona makuwahine.
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.”
54Ai iho la lakou a inu hoi, oia a me na kanaka me ia, a moe iho la ia po. Ala ae la lakou i kakahiaka, i aku la ia, E kuu aku oukou ia'u e hele i ko'u haku.
55Her brother and her mother said, “Let the young lady stay with us a few days, at least ten. After that she will go.”
55I mai la kona kaikunane laua o kona makuwahine, E noho no ke kaikamahine me makou i kekahi mau la, i umi paha: a mahope aku e hele no ia.
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.”
56I aku la kela ia laua, Mai keakea mai olua ia'u, no ka mea, ua hoopomaikai mai o Iehova i kuu hele ana mai; e kuu aku oukou ia'u e hele aku ai i ko'u haku.
57They said, “We will call the young lady, and ask her.”
57I mai la laua, E hea aku maua i ke kaikamahine, a e ninau aku ia ia.
58They called Rebekah, and said to her, “Will you go with this man?” She said, “I will go.”
58Hea aku la laua ia Rebeka, ninau aku la ia ia, E aku oe e hele pu me keia kanaka? I mai la kela, E hele wau.
59They sent away Rebekah, their sister, with her nurse, Abraham’s servant, and his men.
59Kuu aku la laua ia Rebeka o ko laua kaikuwahine, me kona kahu, a me ke kauwa a Aberahama, a me na kanaka ona.
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.”
60Hoomaikai aku la laua ia Rebeka, i aku la, O oe no ko maua kaikuwahine, e lilo oe i makuwahine o na tausani miliona: e lilo hoi no kau poe mamo, ka pukapa o ka poe inaina aku ia lakou.
61Rebekah arose with her ladies. They rode on the camels, and followed the man. The servant took Rebekah, and went his way.
61Ku ae la o Rebeka, me kona mau wahine, holo mai la lakou maluna o na kamelo, e hahai ana i ua kanaka la: a lawe ae la ua kauwa la ia Rebeka, a hoi mai la.
62Isaac came from the way of Beer Lahai Roi, for he lived in the land of the South.
62I hele mai la o Isaaka ma ke alanui o ka punawai Lahairoi: no ka mea, i noho no ia ma ka aina kukuluhema.
63Isaac went out to meditate in the field at the evening. He lifted up his eyes and looked. Behold, there were camels coming.
63Hele aku la o Isaaka ma ke kula e noonoo ai i ka wa ahiahi: alawa ae la kona mau maka iluna, aia hoi na kamelo e hoi mai ana.
64Rebekah lifted up her eyes, and when she saw Isaac, she got off the camel.
64Nana mai la o Rebeka, a ike mai la oia ia Isaaka, lele iho la ia mai luna iho o ke kamelo.
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.
65No ka mea, ua ninau aku ia i ua kauwa la, Owai ia kanaka e hele mai ana i ke kula e halawai me kakou? a ua i mai ke kauwa, O kuu haku no ia: no ia mea, lawe ae la ia i ka pale, a hoouhi iho la ia ia iho.
66The servant told Isaac all the things that he had done.
66A hai mai la ua kauwa la ia Isaaka i na mea a pau ana i hana'i.
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.
67Alakai aku la o Isaaka ia ia maloko o ka halelewa o kona makuwahine o Sara; lawe aku la oia ia Rebeka, a lilo iho la ia i wahine nana, a aloha ae la oia ia ia. A ua hooluoluia o Isaaka no kona makuwahine.
