1 Ibrahim zeen, a gay nga jirbey ra gumo. Irikoy na Ibrahim albarkandi mo hay kulu ra.
1And Abraham was old, and well stricken in age: and the LORD had blessed Abraham in all things.
2 Ibrahim salaŋ nga bannya se kaŋ ga ti a windo ra arkuso din, kaŋ ga hay kulu kaŋ go a se dabari. A ne: «Ay ga ni ŋwaaray, ma ni kamba daŋ ay tanja cire.
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:
3 Ay ga ni daŋ zeyaŋ da Rabbi Irikoy, beene Koyo; Irikoy, ndunnya Koyo, hala ni ma si wande sambu ay izo wo se Kanaanancey wayborey ra, nango kaŋ ay goono ga goro.
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:
4 Amma ni ga koy ay laabo ra, ay dumo do. Noodin no ni ga wande sambu ay izo Isaka se.»
4But thou shalt go unto my country, and to my kindred, and take a wife unto my son Isaac.
5 A bannya ne a se: «Hambara waybora si yadda k'ay gana ka kaa hala laabu woone ra. A ga tilas no ay ma ye nda ni izo laabo kaŋ ra ni fun din?»
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?
6 Ibrahim ne a se: «Haggoy! ma si ye nda ay izo noodin koyne.
6And Abraham said unto him, Beware thou that thou bring not my son thither again.
7 Rabbi Irikoy, beene Koyo, nga kaŋ n'ay kaa ay baabo windo ra, ay hayyaŋ laabo ra mo, kaŋ salaŋ ay se ka ze ay se ka ne nga ga laabo wo no ay banda bora se -- nga no ga nga malayka donton ni jine. Ni ga wande sambu ay izo se noodin.
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.
8 Da waybora mana yadda ka ni gana, waati din gaa i na ni feeri ay zeyaŋ woone gaa. Amma ma si ye nda ay izo noodin koyne.»
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.
9 Bannya na nga kamba daŋ nga koyo Ibrahim tanja cire ka ze a se sanni woodin boŋ.
9And the servant put his hand under the thigh of Abraham his master, and sware to him concerning that matter.
10 Kala bannya na yo way di nga windikoyo yoy ra ka tun, zama a koyo jinayey kulu go a kambe ra. A tun ka koy Mesopotamiya, hala Nahor kwaara.
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.
11 A na nga yoy sambandi kwaara banda, dayo me gaa, wiciri kambu waati kaŋ cine wayborey ga koy hari guruyaŋ.
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.
12 A ne: «Ya Rabbi Irikoy, ay koyo Ibrahim wano, ay ga ni ŋwaaray, m'ay gaa hunkuna. Ma gomni cabe ay koyo Ibrahim se.
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.
13 Guna, ay go ne dayo wo me gaa. Kwaara borey ize wandiyey mo ga fatta ka kaa hari guruyaŋ.
13Behold, I stand here by the well of water; and the daughters of the men of the city come out to draw water:
14 Da ni yadda, wandiya kaŋ ay ga ne a se: ‹Ay ga ni ŋwaaray, ma ni foobo zumandi ay se ay ma haŋ,› nga mo ma ne ay se: ‹Haŋ. Ay ga ni yoy mo haŋandi› a ma ciya nga no ga ti bora kaŋ ni waadu ni tamo Isaka se. Yaadin gaa no ay ga bay kaŋ ni na gomni cabe ay koyo se.»
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.
15 A go no mo, za sanney din mana ban a meyo ra, kala Rabeka fatta ka kaa, nga kaŋ i hay Betuwel se, Ibrahim kayne Nahor wande Milka ize, foobu mo go jasa gaa.
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.
16 Wandiya mo, ihanno no gumo. Wandiyo no da cimi, kaŋ si alboro bay ce fo. A do dayo me gaa, a na nga foobo toonandi nda hari ka ziji.
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.
17 Kala bannya zuru ka kuband'a. A ne: «Ay ga ni ŋwaaray, naŋ ay ma haŋ hari kayna ni foobo gaa.»
17And the servant ran to meet her, and said, Let me, I pray thee, drink a little water of thy pitcher.
18 Nga mo ne: «Haŋ me, ay jine bora.» A waasu ka nga foobo zumandi ka gaay nga kambe ra. A n'a no, a haŋ mo.
18And she said, Drink, my lord: and she hasted, and let down her pitcher upon her hand, and gave him drink.
19 Saaya kaŋ wandiya n'a no hari ka ban, a ne: «Ay ga hari kaa ni yoy mo se, hal i ma haŋ ka yeesi.»
19And when she had done giving him drink, she said, I will draw water for thy camels also, until they have done drinking.
20 A waasu ka foobo bare garba ra. A zuru ka ye dayo do koyne ka hari guru. A guru mo yoy kulu se.
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.
21 Kala bora na mo sinji wandiya gaa ka dangay siw! ka guna. A ga ba nga ma bay hala Rabbi na nga dirawo boriyandi, wala manti yaadin no.
21And the man wondering at her held his peace, to wit whether the LORD had made his journey prosperous or not.
22 A go no, saaya kaŋ yoy haŋ ka ban, bora na wura hanga korbayyaŋ sambu, sekel* jare tiŋay wane, da wura kambe guuru hinka, sekel way tiŋay waneyaŋ.
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;
23 A ne: «Ay ga ni ŋwaaray, ma ci ay se, ni ya may ize no? Nangu go no ni baaba windo ra kaŋ iri ga zumbu no?»
23And said, Whose daughter art thou? tell me, I pray thee: is there room in thy father's house for us to lodge in?
24 A ne a se: «Ay ya Betuwel kaŋ ga ti Milka ize kaŋ a hay Nahor se din ize no.»
24And she said unto him, I am the daughter of Bethuel the son of Milcah, which she bare unto Nahor.
25 A ne a se mo: «Iri gonda subu nda kobto kaŋ ga wasa, da nangu kaŋ araŋ ga zumbu mo.»
25She said moreover unto him, We have both straw and provender enough, and room to lodge in.
26 Kala albora na nga boŋ ye ganda ka sududu Rabbi se.
26And the man bowed down his head, and worshipped the LORD.
27 A ne: «I ma Rabbi, ay koyo Ibrahim wane Irikoyo sifa, kaŋ mana fay da bakaraw da nga cimo mo ay koyo Ibrahim se. Waato kaŋ ay go fonda ra, Rabbi furo ay jine ka kaa hala ay windikoyo nya-izey do.»
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.
28 Kala wandiya zuru ka koy ka sanney din ci nga nya-izey se.
28And the damsel ran, and told them of her mother's house these things.
29 Rabeka gonda arme fo kaŋ maa Laban. Laban mo zuru ka fatta ka koy bora do, dayo boŋ.
29And Rebekah had a brother, and his name was Laban: and Laban ran out unto the man, unto the well.
30 Saaya kaŋ a di hanga korbayey da guurey nga waymo kambey gaa, saaya kaŋ a maa nga waymo Rabeka sanney kaŋ a ne: « Ya-cine no bora salaŋ ay se,» kal a koy bora do. A go ga kay yoy jarga, dayo boŋ.
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.
31 Laban ne: «Ya nin Rabbi albarkanta, ma furo ka kaa. Ifo se no ni goono ga kay taray? Ay jin ka fuwo hanse, da nangu mo yoy se.»
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.
32 Kala bora furo windo ra. Laban na yoy jarawey zumandi, a na subu nda kobto daŋ yoy se, da hari mo bora cey nyunyaŋ se, da borey kaŋ yaŋ go a banda cey mo se.
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.
33 I kande a se ŋwaari a ma ŋwa. Amma a ne: «Ay si ŋwa kala nd'ay n'ay kaayaŋo sabaabo ci jina.» Laban mo ne: «Ma salaŋ.»
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.
34 Bora ne: «Ay ya Ibrahim bannya no.»
34And he said, I am Abraham's servant.
35 A ne koyne: «Rabbi n'ay koyo albarkandi gumo, hal a te boro beeri. A n'a no feeji kuruyaŋ da hawyaŋ da nzarfu da wura, da tamyaŋ, alboro nda wayboro, da yoyaŋ da farkayyaŋ.
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.
36 Ay koyo wando Saharatu mo na ize alboro hay ay koyo se a zeena ra. A se no a na hay kulu kaŋ go nga se no.
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.
37 Ay koyo mo n'ay daŋ zeyaŋ ka ne: ‹Ma si wande sambu ay izo se Kanaanancey wayborey ra, kaŋ yaŋ laabo ra ay go da goray,
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:
38 amma ni ma koy ay baaba windo ra, ay dumey do, ka wande sambu ay izo se.›
38But thou shalt go unto my father's house, and to my kindred, and take a wife unto my son.
39 Ay mo, ay ne ay koyo se: ‹Hambara waybora s'ay gana.›
39And I said unto my master, Peradventure the woman will not follow me.
40 A ne ay se: ‹Rabbi kaŋ jine ay go ga dira ga nga malayka donton ni banda. Nga no ga fonda boriyandi ni se. Ni ga wande sambu ay izo se mo ay dumey ra, ay baaba windo ra.
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:
41 Waati din gaa no ni ga hanan ay zeyaŋo kaŋ ni ze ay se din gaa. Amma da ni koy ay dumey do, i wangu ni se, ni hanan ay zeyaŋo gaa nooya.›
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.
42 To. Hunkuna kaŋ ay to dayo me gaa, ay ne: Ya Rabbi, ay koy Ibrahim Irikoyo, hunkuna da ni ga fonda kaŋ ay ga gana boriyandi,
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:
43 guna, ay neeya ga kay dayo wo boŋ. Ma naŋ a ma ciya wandiya kaŋ ga fatta ka hari guru, kaŋ se ay ga ne: Ay ga ni ŋwaaray, m'ay no ni foobo haro gaa kayna, ay ma haŋ,
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;
44 nga mo ma ne ay se: ‹Ni ma haŋ. Ay ga kaa ni yoy mo se›, naŋ a ma ciya waybora kaŋ ni waadu ay koyo izo se no.
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.
45 Hal ay ga salaŋ ka ban ay bina ra, kala Rabeka kaa da nga foobo nga jasa gaa. A do dayo do ka hari kaa. Ay mo ne a se: ‹Ay ga ni ŋwaaray, ay no ay ma haŋ.›
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.
46 Nga mo, a waasu ka nga foobo zumandi nga jasa gaa ka ne: ‹Ma haŋ. Ay ga ni yoy mo no, i ma haŋ.› Ay haŋ. A na yoy mo haŋandi.
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.
47 Ay n'a hã ka ne: ‹Ni ya may ize no?› A ne nga ya Betuwel, Nahor izo kaŋ Milka hay a se din ize no. Kal ay na korbay daŋ a niina gaa, guurey mo a kambey gaa.
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.
48 Waato din gaa ay n'ay boŋ sumbal ka sududu Rabbi se. Ay na Rabbi, ay koy Ibrahim Irikoyo sifa, nga kaŋ furo ay jine fonda kaŋ ga saba ra, za kaŋ mo ay ga du ka konda ay koyo kayne izo a izo se.
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.
49 Sohõ, d'araŋ ga booriyaŋ da cimi te ay koyo se, wa ci ay se. Da manti yaadin mo no, araŋ ma ci ay se zama ay ma bare kambe ŋwaari gaa wala kambe wow gaa.»
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.
50 Saaya din Laban da Betuwel tu a se ka ne: «Hayo wo, Rabbi do no a fun. Iri wo si hin ka salaŋ ni se ilaalo wala ihanno.
50Then Laban and Bethuel answered and said, The thing proceedeth from the LORD: we cannot speak unto thee bad or good.
51 Guna, Rabeka neeya ni jine. M'a sambu a ma koy ka ciya ni koyo izo se wande, danga mate kaŋ Rabbi ci.»
51Behold, Rebekah is before thee, take her, and go, and let her be thy master's son's wife, as the LORD hath spoken.
52 A ciya mo, waato kaŋ Ibrahim bannya maa i sanno, kala a sududu Rabbi se hala ganda.
52And it came to pass, that, when Abraham's servant heard their words, he worshipped the LORD, bowing himself to the earth.
53 Bannya mo na taalam jinayyaŋ kaa taray: nzarfu nda wura wane yaŋ, da bankaarayyaŋ, ka no Rabeka se. A na nooyaŋ no armo da nyaŋo mo se kaŋ yaŋ nooru ga baa.
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.
54 Woodin banda no i ŋwa i haŋ, nga nda alborey kaŋ yaŋ kaa a banda. I kani noodin. Kaŋ mo bo, susuba ra kaŋ i tun, kal a ne: «W'ay sallama, ay ma ye ay koyo do.»
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.
55 Kala wandiya armo da nyaŋo ne: «Wa naŋ wandiya ma te jirbiyaŋ iri do, baa jirbi way cine, gaa a ma koy.»
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.
56 Bannya ne i se: «Araŋ ma s'ay gaay, za kaŋ Rabbi n'ay fonda boriyandi. W'ay sallama ya koy ay koyo do.»
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.
57 I ne: «To. Naŋ iri ma wandiya ce ka maa a me ra.»
57And they said, We will call the damsel, and inquire at her mouth.
58 I na Rabeka ce ka ne a se: «Ni ga koy boro wo banda, wala?» A ne: «Ay ga koy.»
58And they called Rebekah, and said unto her, Wilt thou go with this man? And she said, I will go.
59 Yaadin cine no i na ngey waymo Rabeka sallama nd'a, nga da nga gaaykwa, da Ibrahim bannya, da nga borey.
59And they sent away Rebekah their sister, and her nurse, and Abraham's servant, and his men.
60 I na albarka gaara Rabeka se. I ne a se: «Ni ya iri kayne no. Ni ma te boro zambar hala dubu-dubu se nya. Ni banda ma du ngey ibarey kwaara meyey ka tubu.»
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.
61 Rabeka tun mo, nga nda nga wandiyey. I kaaru yoy boŋ ka bora gana. Bannya mo na Rabeka sambu ka dira.
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.
62 Isaka kaa ka fun dayo do haray kaŋ maa «Irikoy Fundikoono Kaŋ Go G'ay Guna», zama Negeb* laabo ra n'a go da goray.
62And Isaac came from the way of the well Lahairoi; for he dwelt in the south country.
63 Han fo wiciri kambu, Isaka fatta ka koy saajo ra ka fongu. A na nga boŋ sambu ka guna, kala yoy go ga kaa.
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.
64 Rabeka na nga boŋ sambu. Saaya kaŋ a di Isaka, a zumbu ka fun ywa boŋ.
64And Rebekah lifted up her eyes, and when she saw Isaac, she lighted off the camel.
65 Zama a na bannya hã no ka ne: «May no boro wo kaŋ go ga kaa batama gaa g'iri kubay?» Kala bannya ne: «Ay koyo no.» Rabeka na nga zaara sambu ka bangum.
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.
66 Bannya mo ci Isaka se hay kulu kaŋ nga te.
66And the servant told Isaac all things that he had done.
67 Isaka kande wayhiijo nga nya Saharatu kuuru fuwo ra. A na Rabeka sambu k'a ciya nga wande, a ga ba r'a mo. Yaadin no Isaka du kunfayaŋ d'a, nga nyaŋo buuyaŋ banda.
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.
