Gênesis 24 - Bíblia Online

Na kua koroheketia a Aperahama, A kua maha rawa ona ra: a i manaaki a Ihowa i a Aperahama i nga mea katoa. 
Na ka mea a Aperahama ki te kaumatua o ana pononga i roto i tona whare, ki te kaiwhakahaere o ana mea katoa, Tena, whakapakia mai tou ringa ki raro ki toku huhu: 
A me whakaoati koe e ahau ki a Ihowa, ki te Atua o te rangi, ki te Atua hoki o te whenua, kia kaua e tangohia e koe he wahine ma taku tama i roto i nga tamahine a nga Kanaani, a te iwi e noho nei ahau i roto i a ratou: 
Engari me haere koe ki toku whenua, ki oku whanaunga, ka tango mai ai i tetahi wahine ma taku tama, ma Ihaka. 
Na ka mea te pononga ki a ia, Akuanei pea ka kore e pai te wahine ki te whai mai i ahau ki tenei whenua: me whakahoki ranei e ahau tau tama ki te whenua i haere mai nei koe i reira? 
Ka mea a Aperahama ki a ia, Kia tino mohio koe, kaua rawa taku tama e whakahokia ki reira. 
Ko Ihowa, ko te Atua o te rangi, nana nei ahau i tango mai i te whare o toku papa, i te whenua hoki i whanau ai ahau, i korero ki ahau, i oati hoki ki ahau, Ka hoatu e ahau tenei whenua ki ou uri; mana e tono mai tana anahera ki mua i a koe, a ka riro mai i a koe tetahi wahine ma taku tama i reira. 
A, ki te kahore te wahine e pai ki te whai mai i a koe, katahi koe ka watea i tenei oati aku: otiia kaua e whakahokia e koe taku tama ki reira. 
Na ka whakapakia e te pononga tona ringa ki raro i te huha o Aperahama, o tona ariki, a ka oati ki a ia mo taua mea. 
Na ka tangohia e te pononga etahi kamera kotahi tekau i roto i nga kamera a tona ariki, a haere ana: i tona ringa hoki nga mea papai katoa a tona ariki: a whakatika ana ia, haere ana ki Mehopotamia, ki te pa o Nahora. 
Na ka mea ia i nga kamera kia tuturi ki te taha o te puna wai i waho o te pa i te ahiahi, i te wa e puta mai ai nga wahine ki te utu wai. 
A ka mea ia, E Ihowa, e te Atua o toku ariki, o Aperahama, kia whai wahi ahau akuanei, whakaputaina hoki he aroha ki toku ariki, ki a Aperahama. 
Tenei ahau te tu nei i te taha o te puna wai; a e haere mai ana nga tamahine a nga tangata o te pa ki te utu wai: 
A, ko te kotiro e mea ai ahau ki a ia, Tukua iho tau oko kia inu ai ahau; a ka mea ia, E inu, me whakainu ano e ahau au kamera: kia rite ia i a koe ma tau pononga, ma Ihaka; ma reira ka mohio ai ahau e whakaputa aroha ana koe ki toku ariki. 
Heoi kiano i mutu noa tana korero, na, kua puta mai a Ripeka, tamahine a Petuere, tama a Mireka, a te wahine a Nahora, teina o Aperahama, me tana oko i runga i tona pokohiwi. 
Na ko te kotiro ra he tino ataahua ki te titiro atu, he wahina, kahore ano tetahi tane kia mohio noa ki a ia: na ka heke atu ia ki te puna, ka whakaki i tana oko, a ka haere ake. 
Na ka rere te pononga ra ki te whakatutaki i a ia, ka mea, Homai he wai moku, ne, o tau oko kia iti nei? 
A ka mea ia, E inu, e toku ariki: na hohoro tonu tana tuku iho i tana oko ki runga ki tona ringa, a whakainumia ana ia. 
A, ka mutu tana whakainu i a ia, ka mea ia, Me utu ano hoki e ahau mo au kamera, kia poto ra ano ratou te whakainu. 
Na hohoro tonu tana riringi atu i te wai o tana oko ki roto ki te waka, a rere ana ano ki te puna ki te utu, a utuhia mai ana e ia mo ana kamera katoa. 
Ko taua tangata ia matatau tonu tana titiro ki a ia, kihai hoki i hamumu, kia mohio ia ka whakatikaia ranei e Ihowa tona ara, kahore ranei. 
A ka mutu te inu o nga kamera, na ka tikina e taua tangata tetahi whakakai koura, he hawhe hekere tona taimaha, me nga poroporo e rua mo ona ringa, kotahi tekau nga hekere koura te taimaha; 
A ka mea, Na wai koe tamahine? tena, korero mai ki ahau: he wahi ranei kei te whare o tou papa hei moenga mo matou? 
Na ka mea ia ki a ia, He tamahine ahau na Petuere, tama a Mireka, i whanau nei i a raua ko Nahora. 
A ka mea ano ia ki a ia, He nui a matou kakau witi, me a matou otaota hei kai, me tetahi wahi hoki hei moenga. 
Na tuohu ana taua tangata, koropiko ana ki a Ihowa. 
A ka mea, Kia whakapaingia a Ihowa, te Atua o toku rangatira, o Aperahama, kihai nei i wareware ki tona aroha, ki tona pono ki toku rangatira: tena ko ahau, na Ihowa ano ahau i arataki mai i te ara ki te whare o nga teina o toku rangatira. 
Na ka oma te kotiro ra, ka korero i enei mea ki te whare o tona whaea. 
Na, he tungane to Ripeka, ko Rapana tona ingoa; na ka rere a Rapana ki taua tangata, ki waho, ki te puna. 
Na, i tona kitenga i te whakakai me nga poroporo i nga ringa o tona tuahine, a ka rongo hoki ki nga kupu a Ripeka, a tona tuahine, i mea ra, I penei nga korero a taua tangata ki ahau; ka haere ia ki taua tangata; na, i te taha ia o nga kamera, i te puna wai e tu ana; 
A ka mea, Tomo mai, e te manaakitanga a Ihowa; he aha koe i tu ai i waho? kua oti hoki i ahau te whare te whakapai, me tetahi wahi mo nga kamera. 
Na ka haere taua tangata ki te whare, a wetekina ana e ia nga mea o nga kamera; i homai ano e ia he kakau witi me tetahi otaota hei kai ma nga kararehe, me te wai hei horoi mo ona waewae, mo nga waewae hoki o ona hoa. 
Na ka whakatakotoria he kai ki tona aroaro; otiia ka mea ia, E kore ahau e kai, kia korerotia ra ano e ahau taku haere. Ka mea tera, Korero. 
Na ka mea ia, He pononga ahau na Aperahama. 
A kua manaakitia rawatia toku ariki e Ihowa; kua nui ia; a kua homai hoki ki a ia he hipi, he kau, he hiriwa, he koura, he pononga tane, he pononga wahine, he kamera, he kaihe. 
A kua whanau he tama ma toku ariki i a Hara, i te wahine a toku ariki, i a ia kua ruruhitia: a kua hoatu e ia ana mea katoa ki a ia. 
Na i whakaoati toku ariki i ahau, i mea mai, Kei tangohia e koe he wahine ma taku tama i roto i nga tamahine a nga Kanaani, e noho nei ahau i to ratou whenua: 
Engari me haere koe ki te whare o toku papa, ki oku whanaunga ka tango ai i tetahi wahine ma taku tama. 
Ano ra ko ahau ki toku ariki, E kore pea te wahine e whai mai i ahau. 
A ka mea mai ia ki ahau, Ma Ihowa, kei tona aroaro nei toku haereerenga, mana e tono tana anahera hei hoa mou, mana hoki e whakatika tou ara; a ka tango mai koe i tetahi wahine ma taku tama i roto i oku whanaunga, i roto hoki i te whare o toku p apa: 
Katahi koe ka watea i taku oati, ki te haere koe ki oku whanaunga; a ki te kahore e homai e ratou ki a koe, na, ka watea koe i taku oati. 
I haere mai ahau i tenei ra ki te puna, a ka mea ahau, E Ihowa, e te Atua o toku ariki, o Aperahama, ki te mea e whakatika ana koe i toku ara e haere nei ahau: 
Na, tenei ahau te tu nei i te taha o te puna wai; a ko te kotiro e puta mai ki te utu, a ka mea ahau ki a ia, Homai he wahi wai moku i tau oko kia inu ahau; 
A ka mea mai ia ki ahau, E inu, a me utu ano e ahau mo au kamera: kia rite ia i a Ihowa hei wahine ma te tama a toku ariki. 
Kiano i mutu noa taku korero i roto i toku ngakau, na, ko te putanga ake o Ripeka me tana oko i runga i tona pokohiwi: kua heke ki te poka ki te tu: na ka mea ahau ki a ia, Kia inu ahau, ne? 
Na ka hohoro ia, ka tuku i tana oko i tona pokohiwi, a ka mea mai, E inu, me whakainu ano e ahau au kamera: na inu ana ahau, a i whakainumia ano hoki e ia nga kamera. 
Na ka ui ahau ki a ia, He tamahine koe na wai? A ka mea mai ia, He tamahine na Petuere, tama a Nahora, i whanau nei ma raua ko Mireka: na kuhua ana e ahau te whakakai ki tona ihu, me nga poroporo ki ona ringa. 
Na ka tuohu ahau, ka koropiko ki a Ihowa, ka whakapai hoki i a Ihowa, i te Atua o toku ariki, o Aperahama, mona i raahi i ahau i te huarahi tika ki te tiki mai i te tamahine a te teina o toku ariki ma tana tama. 
Na, ki te mea he aroha to koutou, he mahi pono ki toku ariki, korero mai ki ahau: ki te kahore, korero mai; kia tahuri ake ai ahau ki matau ranei, ki maui ranei. 
Na ka whakahoki a Rapana raua ko Petuere, ka mea, I puta mai tenei mea i a Ihowa; e kore e taea e maua te korero ki a koe te pai, te kino ranei. 
Nana, kei tou aroaro a Ripeka, tangohia, haere, a kia meinga ia hei wahine ma te tama a tou ariki, hei pera me ta Ihowa i korero ai. 
A ka rongo te pononga a Aperahama i a raua korero, na piko ana ia ki te whenua, ki a Ihowa. 
Na ka tangohia ake e te pononga he mea hiriwa, he mea koura, he kakahu hoki, a hoatu ana e ia ki a Ripeka: a i hoatu e ia etahi mea tino papai ki tona tungane raua ko tona whaea. 
Na ka kai ratou, ka inu, ratou tahi ko ona hoa haere, a moe iho i te po; a i te ata ka oho ratou, ka mea atu ia, Tukua ahau kia haere ki toku ariki. 
Na ka mea tona tungane raua ko tona whaea, Waiho te kotiro i a matou mo etahi ra torutoru, kia kotahi tekau pea; muri iho ka haere. 
Na ka mea ia ki a raua, Kaua ahau e whakawarea, kua whakatikaia nei hoki toku ara e Ihowa; tukua ahau kia haere ki toku ariki. 
Na ka mea raua, Me karanga e maua te kotiro, ka ui ai ki tona mangai. 
Na ka karangatia e raua a Ripeka, ka mea ki a ia, Ka haere ranei koe i te tangata nei? Ka mea ia, Ka haere. 
Na tukua ana e ratou a Ripeka, to ratou tuahine, ratou ko tona kaiwhakangote, ko te pononga hoki a Aperahama, me ana tangata. 
Na ka manaaki ratou i a Ripeka, ka mea ki a ia, E to matou tuahine, kia meinga koe hei whaea mo nga mano tini, a kia riro i ou uri te kuwaha o o ratou hoariri. 
Na ka whakatika a Ripeka, ratou ko ana kotiro, a eke ana ki runga ki nga kamera, aru ana i taua tangata: na, ka mauria e taua pononga a Ripeka, a haere ana. 
Na ka hoki mai a Ihaka i te haere i Peererahairoi; i te wahi hoki ki te tonga ia e noho ana. 
A ka puta atu a Ihaka ki te parae i te tuahiahi ki te whakaaroaro: na ka maranga ake ona kanohi, ka titiro, na ko nga kamera e haere mai ana. 
A ka whakaara ake a Ripeka i ona kanohi, a, no tona kitenga i a Ihaka, ka marere ia ki raro i te kamera. 
A ka mea atu ia ki te pononga, Ko wai tenei tangata e haere mai nei i te parae ki te whakatau i a tatou? Ano ra ko te pononga, Ko toku ariki tena: na ka mau ia ki tetahi arai kanohi, ka hipoki i a ia. 
Na ka korerotia e te pononga ki a Ihaka nga mea katoa i mea ai ia. 
Na ka kawea ia e Ihaka ki te teneti o tona whaea, o Hara, a tangohia ana e ia a Ripeka, a ka noho ia hei wahine mana; a ka aroha ia ki a ia: a ka whai tanga manawa a Ihaka i muri i te matenga o tona whaea. 

Now Abraham was old and far on in years: and the Lord had given him everything in full measure. 
And Abraham said to his chief servant, the manager of all his property, Come now, put your hand under my leg: 
And take an oath by the Lord, the God of heaven and the God of the earth, that you will not get a wife for my son Isaac from the daughters of the Canaanites among whom I am living; 
But that you will go into my country and to my relations and get a wife there for my son Isaac. 
And the servant said, If by chance the woman will not come with me into this land, am I to take your son back again to the land from which you came? 
And Abraham said, Take care that you do not let my son go back to that land. 
The Lord God of heaven, who took me from my father's house and from the land of my birth, and made an oath to me, saying, To your seed I will give this land: he will send his angel before you and give you a wife for my son in that land. 
And if the woman will not come with you, then you are free from this oath; only do not take my son back there. 
And the servant put his hand under Abraham's leg, and gave him his oath about this thing. 
And the servant took ten of his master's camels, and all sorts of good things of his master's, and went to Mesopotamia, to the town of Nahor. 
And he made the camels take their rest outside the town by the water-spring in the evening, at the time when the women came to get water. 
And he said, O Lord, the God of my master Abraham, let me do well in what I have undertaken this day, and give your mercy to my master Abraham. 
See, I am waiting here by the water-spring; and the daughters of the town are coming out to get water: 
Now, may the girl to whom I say, Let down your vessel and give me a drink, and who says in answer, Here is a drink for you and let me give water to your camels: may she be the one marked out by you for your servant Isaac: so may I be certain that you have been good to my master Abraham. 
And even before his words were ended, Rebekah, the daughter of Bethuel, the son of Milcah, who was the wife of Nahor, Abraham's brother, came out with her water-vessel on her arm. 
She was a very beautiful girl, a virgin, who had never been touched by a man: and she went down to the spring to get water in her vessel. 
And the servant came running to her and said, Give me a little water from your vessel. 
And she said, Take a drink, my lord: and quickly letting down her vessel onto her hand, she gave him a drink. 
And having done so, she said, I will get water for your camels till they have had enough. 
And after putting the water from her vessel into the animals' drinking-place, she went quickly back to the spring and got water for all the camels. 
And the man, looking at her, said nothing, waiting to see if the Lord had given his journey a good outcome. 
And when the camels had had enough, the man took a gold nose-ring, half a shekel in weight, and two ornaments for her arms of ten shekels weight of gold; 
And said to her, Whose daughter are you? is there room in your father's house for us? 
And she said to him, I am the daughter of Bethuel, the son of Milcah, Nahor's wife. 
And she said, We have a great store of dry grass and cattle-food, and there is room for you. 
And with bent head the man gave worship to the Lord; 
And said, Praise be to the Lord, the God of my master Abraham, who has given a sign that he is good and true to my master, by guiding me straight to the house of my master's family. 
So the girl went running and took the news of these things to her mother's house 
Now Rebekah had a brother named Laban, and he came out quickly to the man at the water-spring. 
And when he saw the nose-ring and the ornaments on his sister's hands, and when she gave him word of what the man had said to her, then he went out to the man who was waiting with the camels by the water-spring. 
And he said to him, Come in, you on whom is the blessing of the Lord; why are you waiting outside? for I have made the house ready for you, and a place for the camels. 
Then the man came into the house, and Laban took their cords off the camels and gave them dry grass and food, and he gave to him and the men who were with him water for washing their feet. 
And meat was put before him, but he said, I will not take food till I have made my business clear to you. And they said, Do so. 
And he said, I am Abraham's servant. 
The Lord has given my master every blessing, and he has become great: he has given him flocks and herds and silver and gold, and men-servants and women-servants and camels and asses. 
And when Sarah, my master's wife, was old, she gave birth to a son, to whom he has given all he has. 
And my master made me take an oath, saying, Do not get a wife for my son from the daughters of the Canaanites among whom I am living; 
But go to my father's house and to my relations for a wife for my son. 
And I said to my master, What if the woman will not come with me? 
And he said, The Lord, whom I have ever kept before me, will send his angel with you, who will make it possible for you to get a wife for my son from my relations and my father's house; 
And you will be free from your oath to me when you come to my people; and if they will not give her to you, you will be free from your oath. 
And I came today to the water-spring, and I said, O Lord, the God of my master Abraham, if it is your purpose to give a good outcome to my journey, 
Let it come about that, while I am waiting here by the water-spring, if a girl comes to get water and I say to her, Give me a little water from your vessel, and she says, 
Take a drink, and I will get water for your camels; let her be the woman marked out by the Lord for my master's son. 
And even while I was saying this to myself, Rebekah came out with her vessel on her arm; and she went down to the spring to get water; and I said to her, Give me a drink. 
And straight away she took down her vessel from her arm, and said, Take a drink, and I will get water for your camels. 
And questioning her, I said, Whose daughter are you? And she said, The daughter of Bethuel, the son of Nahor, and Milcah his wife. Then I put the ring on her nose and the ornaments on her hands. 
And with bent head I gave worship and praise to the Lord, the God of my master Abraham, by whom I had been guided in the right way, to get the daughter of my master's brother for his son. 
And now, say if you will do what is good and right for my master or not, in order that it may be clear to me what I have to do. 
Then Laban and Bethuel said in answer, This is the Lord's doing: it is not for us to say Yes or No to you. 
See, here is Rebekah: take her and go, and let her be your master's son's wife, as the Lord has said. 
And at these words, Abraham's servant went down on his face and gave praise to the Lord. 
Then he took jewels of silver and jewels of gold and fair robes and gave them to Rebekah: and he gave things of value to her mother and her brother. 
Then he and the men who were with him had food and drink, and took their rest there that night; and in the morning he got up, and said, Let me now go back to my master. 
But her brother and her mother said, Let the girl be with us a week or ten days, and then she may go. 
And he said, Do not keep me; the Lord has given a good outcome to my journey; let me now go back to my master. 
And they said, We will send for the girl, and let her make the decision. 
And they sent for Rebekah and said to her, Are you ready to go with this man? And she said, I am ready. 
So they sent their sister Rebekah and her servant with Abraham's servant and his men. 
And they gave Rebekah their blessing, saying, O sister, may you be the mother of thousands and ten thousands; and may your seed overcome all those who make war against them. 
So Rebekah and her servant-women went with the man, seated on the camels; and so the servant took Rebekah and went on his way. 
Now Isaac had come through the waste land to Beer-lahai-roi; for he was living in the South. 
And when the evening was near, he went wandering out into the fields, and lifting up his eyes he saw camels coming. 
And when Rebekah, looking up, saw Isaac, she got down from her camel, 
And said to the servant, Who is that man coming to us through the field? And the servant said, It is my master: then she took her veil, covering her face with it. 
Then the servant gave Isaac the story of all he had done. 
And Isaac took Rebekah into his tent and she became his wife; and in his love for her, Isaac was comforted after his father's death.
