¹And Abraham was old, and well stricken in age: and the LORD had blessed Abraham in all things.

¹A Abrahám bol starý, pošlý vekom. A Hospodin požehnal Abraháma vo všetkom.

²And Abraham said unto his eldest servant of his house, that ruled over all that he had, Put, I pray thee, thy hand under my thigh:

²A Abrahám povedal svojmu služobníkovi, staršiemu vo svojom dome, ktorý vládol nad všetkým, čo bolo jeho: Nože polož svoju ruku pod moje bedro.

³And I will make thee swear by the LORD, the God of heaven, and the God of the earth, that thou shalt not take a wife unto my son of the daughters of the Canaanites, among whom I dwell:

³Zaviažem ťa prísahou na Hospodina, Boha nebies a Boha zeme, že nevezmeš môjmu synovi ženy zo dcér Kananeja, v ktorého strede bývam.

⁴But thou shalt go unto my country, and to my kindred, and take a wife unto my son Isaac.

⁴Ale pojdeš do mojej zeme a k mojej rodine a odtiaľ vezmeš môjmu synovi Izákovi ženu.

⁵And the servant said unto him, Peradventure the woman will not be willing to follow me unto this land: must I needs bring thy son again unto the land from whence thou camest?

⁵A služobník mu povedal: A keby nechcela žena ísť so mnou do tejto zeme, či mám zaviesť nazpät tvojho syna do zeme, z ktorej si vyšiel?

⁶And Abraham said unto him, Beware thou that thou bring not my son thither again.

⁶A Abrahám mu povedal: Chráň sa, aby si ta zpät nezaviedol môjho syna!

⁷The LORD God of heaven, which took me from my father's house, and from the land of my kindred, and which spake unto me, and that sware unto me, saying, Unto thy seed will I give this land; he shall send his angel before thee, and thou shalt take a wife unto my son from thence.

⁷Hospodin, Bôh nebies, ktorý ma vzal z domu môjho otca a z mojej rodnej zeme a ktorý mi hovoril a ktorý mi prisahal a riekol: Tvojmu semenu dám túto zem, ten pošle svojho anjela pred tebou, a vezmeš odtiaľ môjmu synovi ženu.

⁸And if the woman will not be willing to follow thee, then thou shalt be clear from this my oath: only bring not my son thither again.

⁸A keby nechcela žena ísť s tebou, budeš čistý od tejto mojej prísahy, len môjho syna nezaveď nazpät ta.

⁹And the servant put his hand under the thigh of Abraham his master, and sware to him concerning that matter.

⁹Vtedy položil služobník svoju ruku pod bedro Abraháma, svojho pána, a prisahal mu dotyčne tejto veci.

¹⁰And the servant took ten camels of the camels of his master, and departed; for all the goods of his master were in his hand: and he arose, and went to Mesopotamia, unto the city of Nahor.

¹⁰A služobník vzal desať veľblúdov z veľblúdov svojho pána a išiel, a všetko dobré jeho pána bolo v jeho ruke. A tak vstal a išiel do Aramnaharaima, do mesta Náchorovho.

¹¹And he made his camels to kneel down without the city by a well of water at the time of the evening, even the time that women go out to draw water.

¹¹A keď ta došiel, dal veľblúdom pokľakať vonku pred mestom pri studni vody v čas večera, o takom čase, keď vychodia ženy brať vodu.

¹²And he said O LORD God of my master Abraham, I pray thee, send me good speed this day, and show kindness unto my master Abraham.

¹²A riekol: Hospodine, Bože môjho pána Abraháma, prosím, daj, žeby sa mi dnes pošťastilo, a učiň milosť s mojím pánom Abrahámom.

¹³Behold, I stand here by the well of water; and the daughters of the men of the city come out to draw water:

¹³Hľa, stojím tu pri studni vody, a dcéry mužov mesta vyjdú sem von brať vodu.

¹⁴And let it come to pass, that the damsel to whom I shall say, Let down thy pitcher, I pray thee, that I may drink; and she shall say, Drink, and I will give thy camels drink also: let the same be she that thou hast appointed for thy servant Isaac; and thereby shall I know that thou hast showed kindness unto my master.

¹⁴Nech stane sa tak, aby deva, ktorej poviem: Nachýľ, prosím, svoje vedro, aby som sa napil! A povie: Napi sa, a napojím aj tvojich veľblúdov, aby to bola tá, prosím, ktorú si prisúdil svojmu služobníkovi Izákovi, a potom poznám, že si učinil milosť s mojím pánom.

¹⁵And it came to pass, before he had done speaking, that, behold, Rebekah came out, who was born to Bethuel, son of Milcah, the wife of Nahor, Abraham's brother, with her pitcher upon her shoulder.

¹⁵A stalo sa, kým on ešte nebol dohovoril, že hľa, vychádzala von Rebeka, ktorá sa narodila Betuelovi, synovi Milky, ženy Náchora, brata Abrahámovho, so svojím vedrom na svojom pleci.

¹⁶And the damsel was very fair to look upon, a virgin, neither had any man known her: and she went down to the well, and filled her pitcher, and came up.

¹⁶A deva bola veľmi krásneho vzozrenia, panna, ktorej ešte nebol poznal muž, a sišla ku pramennej studni a naplnila svoje vedro a vyšla.

¹⁷And the servant ran to meet her, and said, Let me, I pray thee, drink a little water of thy pitcher.

¹⁷A služobník jej bežal oproti a riekol: Daj sa mi, prosím, napiť trochu vody zo svojho vedra!

¹⁸And she said, Drink, my lord: and she hasted, and let down her pitcher upon her hand, and gave him drink.

¹⁸A ona povedala: Napi sa, môj pane! A rýchle sňala svoje vedro na svoju ruku a dala mu piť.

¹⁹And when she had done giving him drink, she said, I will draw water for thy camels also, until they have done drinking.

¹⁹A keď sa mu už bola dala napiť, povedala: Naberiem i tvojim veľblúdom, dokiaľ len budú piť.

²⁰And she hasted, and emptied her pitcher into the trough, and ran again unto the well to draw water, and drew for all his camels.

²⁰A rýchle vyliala svoje vedro do válova a zase bežala k studni nabrať vody a nabrala všetkým jeho veľblúdom.

²¹And the man wondering at her held his peace, to wit whether the LORD had made his journey prosperous or not.

²¹A muž ju mlčky obdivoval a pozoroval, aby zvedel, či dal Hospodin jeho ceste zdaru a či nie.

²²And it came to pass, as the camels had done drinking, that the man took a golden earring of half a shekel weight, and two bracelets for her hands of ten shekels weight of gold;

²²A stalo sa, keď už boli prestali veľblúdi piť, že muž vyňal zlatú obrúčku na nos, pol šekla váhy, a dva náramenníky, ktoré vážily desať šeklov zlata, a dal ich na jej ruky.

²³And said, Whose daughter art thou? tell me, I pray thee: is there room in thy father's house for us to lodge in?

²³A riekol: Čia si ty dcéra? Povedz mi, prosím. Či je v dome tvojho otca miesta pre nás, kde by sme prenocovali?

²⁴And she said unto him, I am the daughter of Bethuel the son of Milcah, which she bare unto Nahor.

²⁴A ona mu povedala: Ja som dcéra Betuela, syna Milky, ktorého porodila Náchorovi.

²⁵She said moreover unto him, We have both straw and provender enough, and room to lodge in.

²⁵A ešte mu povedala: I slamy i krmu je hojne u nás i miesto prenocovať.

²⁶And the man bowed down his head, and worshipped the LORD.

²⁶A človek sklonil hlavu a poklonil sa Hospodinovi.

²⁷And he said, Blessed be the LORD God of my master Abraham, who hath not left destitute my master of his mercy and his truth: I being in the way, the LORD led me to the house of my master's brethren.

²⁷A riekol: Požehnaný Hospodin, Bôh môjho pána Abraháma, ktorý nezanechal svojej milosti a svojej pravdy, aby ju bol odňal od môjho pána. I mňa viedol Hospodin na ceste do domu bratov môjho pána.

²⁸And the damsel ran, and told them of her mother's house these things.

²⁸A deva bežala a oznámila domu svojej matky všetko tak, ako sa to stalo.

²⁹And Rebekah had a brother, and his name was Laban: and Laban ran out unto the man, unto the well.

²⁹A Rebeka mala brata, ktorému bolo meno Lában. A Lában bežal k mužovi von ku studni.

³⁰And it came to pass, when he saw the earring and bracelets upon his sister's hands, and when he heard the words of Rebekah his sister, saying, Thus spake the man unto me; that he came unto the man; and, behold, he stood by the camels at the well.

³⁰Lebo stalo sa, keď videl obrúčku a náramenníky na rukách svojej sestry, a keď počul slová Rebeky, svojej sestry, ktorá vravela, že tak a tak mi hovoril muž, že prišiel k mužovi, ktorý hľa, práve stal pri ležiacich veľblúdoch pri studni.

³¹And he said, Come in, thou blessed of the LORD; wherefore standest thou without? for I have prepared the house, and room for the camels.

³¹A povedal: Vojdi, požehnaný Hospodinov! Prečo by si stál vonku, keď som ja už pripravil dom a miesto pre veľblúdov.

³²And the man came into the house: and he ungirded his camels, and gave straw and provender for the camels, and water to wash his feet, and the men's feet that were with him.

³²A muž vošiel do domu, a Lában odsedlal veľblúdov a dal veľblúdom slamy a krmu a vody umyť jeho nohy i nohy mužov, ktorí boli s ním.

³³And there was set meat before him to eat: but he said, I will not eat, until I have told mine errand. And he said, Speak on.

³³A potom predložil pred neho jesť. Ale muž riekol: Nebudem jesť dokiaľ nepoviem, čo mám povedať. A Lában povedal: Hovor!

³⁴And he said, I am Abraham's servant.

³⁴Vtedy riekol: Ja som služobník Abrahámov.

³⁵And the LORD hath blessed my master greatly; and he is become great: and he hath given him flocks, and herds, and silver, and gold, and menservants, and maidservants, and camels, and asses.

³⁵Hospodin veľmi požehnal môjho pána, takže sa stal veľkým. A dal mu drobného stáda, oviec a kôz, a hoviad, striebra a zlata, sluhov a dievok, veľblúdov a oslov.

³⁶And Sarah my master's wife bare a son to my master when she was old: and unto him hath he given all that he hath.

³⁶A Sára, žena môjho pána, porodila môjmu pánovi syna, keď už bola zostarela, a dal mu všetko, čo má.

³⁷And my master made me swear, saying, Thou shalt not take a wife to my son of the daughters of the Canaanites, in whose land I dwell:

³⁷A môj pán ma zaviazal prísahou a riekol: Nevezmeš môjmu synovi ženy z dcér Kananeja, v ktorého zemi ja bývam.

³⁸But thou shalt go unto my father's house, and to my kindred, and take a wife unto my son.

³⁸Ale istotne pojdeš do domu môjho otca a k mojej rodine a odtiaľ vezmeš môjmu synovi ženu.

³⁹And I said unto my master, Peradventure the woman will not follow me.

³⁹A ja som povedal svojmu pánovi: Možno, že nepôjde žena so mnou -.

⁴⁰And he said unto me, The LORD, before whom I walk, will send his angel with thee, and prosper thy way; and thou shalt take a wife for my son of my kindred, and of my father's house:

⁴⁰A riekol mi: Hospodin, pred ktorého tvárou chodím, pošle svojho anjela s tebou a učiní tvoju cestu zdarnú, a vezmeš môjmu synovi ženu z mojej rodiny a z domu môjho otca.

⁴¹Then shalt thou be clear from this my oath, when thou comest to my kindred; and if they give not thee one, thou shalt be clear from my oath.

⁴¹Vtedy budeš oprostený mojej prísahy, keď prijdeš k mojej rodine, a jestli ti nedajú, nuž budeš prostý svojej prísahy.

⁴²And I came this day unto the well, and said, O LORD God of my master Abraham, if now thou do prosper my way which I go:

⁴²A tak som prišiel dnes ku studni a povedal som: Hospodine, Bože môjho pána Abraháma, ak daríš šťastím moju cestu, po ktorej idem,

⁴³Behold, I stand by the well of water; and it shall come to pass, that when the virgin cometh forth to draw water, and I say to her, Give me, I pray thee, a little water of thy pitcher to drink;

⁴³hľa, stojím pri studni vody a prosím, žeby panna, ktorá vyjde brať vodu, a ktorá, keď jej poviem: Daj sa mi, prosím, napiť trochu vody zo svojho vedra,

⁴⁴And she say to me, Both drink thou, and I will also draw for thy camels: let the same be the woman whom the LORD hath appointed out for my master's son.

⁴⁴mi odpovie: I ty sa napi, a naberiem i tvojim veľblúdom, bola tou ženou, ktorú prisúdil Hospodin synovi môjho pána.

⁴⁵And before I had done speaking in mine heart, behold, Rebekah came forth with her pitcher on her shoulder; and she went down unto the well, and drew water: and I said unto her, Let me drink, I pray thee.

⁴⁵A prv ako som ja prestal hovoriť vo svojom srdci, tu hľa, vyšla Rebeka nesúc svoje vedro na svojom pleci a sišla k studni a nabrala vody. A povedal som jej: Daj sa mi, prosím, napiť!

⁴⁶And she made haste, and let down her pitcher from her shoulder, and said, Drink, and I will give thy camels drink also: so I drank, and she made the camels drink also.

⁴⁶A ona rýchle složila svoje vedro so seba a riekla: Napi sa, a napojím aj tvojich veľblúdov. A napil som sa, a napojila aj veľblúdov.

⁴⁷And I asked her, and said, Whose daughter art thou? And she said, the daughter of Bethuel, Nahor's son, whom Milcah bare unto him: and I put the earring upon her face, and the bracelets upon her hands.

⁴⁷Vtedy som sa jej pýtal a povedal som: Čia si ty dcéra? A riekla: Dcéra Betuela, syna Náchorovho, ktorého mu porodila Milka. Tu som jej zavesil obrúčku na jej nos a dal som náramenníky na jej ruky.

⁴⁸And I bowed down my head, and worshipped the LORD, and blessed the LORD God of my master Abraham, which had led me in the right way to take my master's brother's daughter unto his son.

⁴⁸Potom som sklonil hlavu a poklonil som sa Hospodinovi a dobrorečil som Hospodinovi, Bohu svojho pána Abraháma, ktorý ma viedol pravou cestou, aby som vzal jeho synovi dcéru brata svojho pána.

⁴⁹And now if ye will deal kindly and truly with my master, tell me: and if not, tell me; that I may turn to the right hand, or to the left.

⁴⁹A tak teraz, ak činíte milosrdenstvo a pravdu s mojím pánom, oznámte mi to, a jestli nie, i tak mi oznámte, a obrátim sa napravo alebo naľavo.

⁵⁰Then Laban and Bethuel answered and said, The thing proceedeth from the LORD: we cannot speak unto thee bad or good.

⁵⁰Vtedy odpovedal Lában a Betuel, a riekli: Od Hospodina vyšla vec; nemôžeme hovoriť s tebou ani dobré ani zlé.

⁵¹Behold, Rebekah is before thee, take her, and go, and let her be thy master's son's wife, as the LORD hath spoken.

⁵¹Hľa, Rebeka je pred tebou, vezmi a iď, a nech je ženou syna tvojho pána, tak ako hovoril Hospodin.

⁵²And it came to pass, that, when Abraham's servant heard their words, he worshipped the LORD, bowing himself to the earth.

⁵²A stalo sa, keď počul služobník Abrahámov ich slová, poklonil sa Hospodinovi až k zemi.

⁵³And the servant brought forth jewels of silver, and jewels of gold, and raiment, and gave them to Rebekah: he gave also to her brother and to her mother precious things.

⁵³Potom vyňal služobník strieborné klenoty a zlaté klenoty a rúcha a dal Rebeke a drahocenné veci dal i jej bratovi i jej matke.

⁵⁴And they did eat and drink, he and the men that were with him, and tarried all night; and they rose up in the morning, and he said, Send me away unto my master.

⁵⁴Potom jedli a pili, on i mužovia, ktorí boli s ním, a prenocovali. A keď vstali ráno, riekol: Prepustite ma, nech idem k svojmu pánovi!

⁵⁵And her brother and her mother said, Let the damsel abide with us a few days, at the least ten; after that she shall go.

⁵⁵Ale jej brat povedal i jej matka: Nech zostane dievča s nami niekoľko, asi desať dní, a potom pojdeš.

⁵⁶And he said unto them, Hinder me not, seeing the LORD hath prospered my way; send me away that I may go to my master.

⁵⁶A riekol im: Nezdržujte ma, keď učinil Hospodin moju cestu šťastnú. Prepustite ma, nech idem k svojmu pánovi.

⁵⁷And they said, We will call the damsel, and inquire at her mouth.

⁵⁷Vtedy povedali: Zavolajme dievča a opýtajme sa, čo ona povie?

⁵⁸And they called Rebekah, and said unto her, Wilt thou go with this man? And she said, I will go.

⁵⁸A tak zavolali Rebeku a riekli jej: Či pojdeš s týmto mužom? A povedala: Pojdem.

⁵⁹And they sent away Rebekah their sister, and her nurse, and Abraham's servant, and his men.

⁵⁹Vtedy prepustili Rebeku, svoju sestru, i jej chôvu i služobníka Abrahámovho i jeho mužov.

⁶⁰And they blessed Rebekah, and said unto her, Thou art our sister, be thou the mother of thousands of millions, and let thy seed possess the gate of those which hate them.

⁶⁰A požehnali Rebeku a riekli jej: Naša sestro, ty buď v tisíce desať tisícov, a tvoje semä nech trvale zdedí bránu tých, ktorí by ho nenávideli.

⁶¹And Rebekah arose, and her damsels, and they rode upon the camels, and followed the man: and the servant took Rebekah, and went his way.

⁶¹Potom vstala Rebeka a jej dievčatá, sadly na veľblúdov a išly za mužom. A tak vzal služobník Rebeku a išiel.

⁶²And Isaac came from the way of the well Lahairoi; for he dwelt in the south country.

⁶²A Izák bol prišiel z cesty od studne Živého, ktorý ma vidí, lebo býval v zemi na juhu.

⁶³And Isaac went out to meditate in the field at the eventide: and he lifted up his eyes, and saw, and, behold, the camels were coming.

⁶³A Izák bol vyšiel premýšľať na poli, keď sa chýlilo k večeru. A keď pozdvihol svoje oči, videl a hľa, veľblúdi prichádzali.

⁶⁴And Rebekah lifted up her eyes, and when she saw Isaac, she lighted off the camel.

⁶⁴A Rebeka tiež pozdvihla svoje oči a videla Izáka a sosadla rýchle s veľblúda.

⁶⁵For she had said unto the servant, What man is this that walketh in the field to meet us? And the servant had said, It is my master: therefore she took a vail, and covered herself.

⁶⁵A povedala služobníkovi: Kto je to tamten muž, ktorý nám ide po poli oproti. A služobník riekol: To je môj pán. Vtedy vzala závoj a zakryla sa.

⁶⁶And the servant told Isaac all things that he had done.

⁶⁶A služobník rozprával Izákovi všetko, čo vykonal.

⁶⁷And Isaac brought her into his mother Sarah's tent, and took Rebekah, and she became his wife; and he loved her: and Isaac was comforted after his mother's death.

⁶⁷A Izák ju voviedol do stánu Sáry, svojej matky, a tak si vzal Rebeku a bola mu ženou, a miloval ju a potešil sa Izák po smrti svojej matky.
