Genesis 24 (YOR)

1Abrahamu sì ti di arúgbó ní àkókò yìí, Olúwa sì ti bùkún fún un ni gbogbo ọ̀nà,By now Abraham was old and well along in years, and the LORD had blessed him in every way.

6Abrahamu sì wí fún un pé, “Rí i dájú pé ìwọ kò mú ọmọ mi padà lọ sí ibẹ̀.”Abraham replied, “Make sure that you do not take my son back there.

7“Olúwa, Ọlọ́run ọ̀run tí ó mú mi jáde láti ilẹ̀ baba mi àti ní ilẹ̀ tí a bí mi, tí ó bá mi sọ̀rọ̀ tí ó sì búra fún mi pé, ‘Irú-ọmọ rẹ ni n ó fi ilẹ̀ yìí fún,’ yóò rán angẹli rẹ̀ ṣáájú rẹ, kí ìwọ kí ó lè rí aya fẹ́ wá fún ọmọ mi láti ibẹ̀.The LORD, the God of heaven, who brought me from my father’s house and my native land, who spoke to me and promised me on oath, saying, ‘To your offspring I will give this land’—He will send His angel before you so that you can take a wife for my son from there.

8Bí obìnrin náà kò bá fẹ́ tẹ̀lé ọ wá, nígbà náà ni a tú ọ sílẹ̀ kúrò nínú ìbúra yìí, ṣùgbọ́n pàtàkì ni pé ìwọ kò gbọdọ̀ mú ọmọ mi padà lọ sí ibẹ̀.”And if the woman is unwilling to follow you, then you are released from this oath of mine. Only do not take my son back there.”

9Ìránṣẹ́ náà sì fi ọwọ́ rẹ̀ sí abẹ́ itan Abrahamu olúwa rẹ̀, ó sì búra fún nítorí ọ̀rọ̀ náà.So the servant placed his hand under the thigh of his master Abraham and swore an oath to him concerning this matter.

10Ìránṣẹ́ náà sì mú ìbákasẹ mẹ́wàá, pẹ̀lú onírúurú ohun dáradára láti ọ̀dọ̀ olúwa rẹ̀, ó sì dìde ó sì lọ sí Aramu-Naharaimu, sí ìlú Nahori,Then the servant took ten of his master’s camels and departed with all manner of good things from his master in hand. And he set out for Nahor’s hometown in Aram-naharaim.

11ó sì mú àwọn ìbákasẹ náà kúnlẹ̀ nítòsí kànga lẹ́yìn ìlú, ó ti ń di ọwọ́ ìrọ̀lẹ́ ní àkókò tí àwọn obìnrin máa ń lọ pọn omi.As evening approached, he made the camels kneel down near the well outside the town at the time when the women went out to draw water.

12Ó sì gbàdúrà wí pé, “Olúwa, Ọlọ́run Abrahamu olúwa à mi; jẹ́ kí n ṣe àṣeyọrí lónìí, sì fi àánú hàn fún Abrahamu olúwa mi.“O LORD, God of my master Abraham,” he prayed, “please grant me success today, and show kindness to my master Abraham.

13Kíyèsi i, mo dúró ní ẹ̀bá kànga omi yìí, àwọn ọmọbìnrin ìlú yìí sì ń jáde wá pọn omi.Here I am, standing beside the spring, and the daughters of the townspeople are coming out to draw water.

14Jẹ́ kí ó ṣe pé nígbà tí mo bá wí fún ọ̀kan nínú àwọn ọmọbìnrin pe, ‘Jọ̀wọ́ sọ ládugbó rẹ kalẹ̀, kí n le mu omi,’ tí ó bá sì wí pé, ‘Mu ún, èmi ó sì fún àwọn ìbákasẹ rẹ náà mu pẹ̀lú,’ jẹ́ kí ó ṣe èyí tí o yàn fún ìránṣẹ́ rẹ Isaaki.

By this I will know that You have shown kindness to my master.”

15Kí o tó di pé, ó parí àdúrà, Rebeka dé pẹ̀lú ìkòkò omi rẹ̀ ní èjìká rẹ̀. Ọmọ Betueli ni. Betueli yìí ni Milka bí fún Nahori arákùnrin Abrahamu.Before the servant had finished praying, Rebekah came out with her jar on her shoulder. She was the daughter of Bethuel son of Milcah, the wife of Abraham’s brother Nahor.

16Ọmọbìnrin náà rẹwà, wúńdíá ni, kò sì tí ì mọ ọkùnrin, ó lọ sí ibi ìsun omi náà, ó sì pọn omi sínú ìkòkò omi, ó sì gbé e, ó ń gòkè bọ̀ kúrò níbi omi.Now the girl was very beautiful, a virgin who had not had relations with any man. She went down to the spring, filled her jar, and came up again.

17Ìránṣẹ́ náà súré lọ pàdé rẹ̀, ó sì wí fun un pé, “Jọ̀wọ́ fún mi ni omi díẹ̀ nínú ìkòkò omi rẹ.”So the servant ran to meet her and said, “Please let me have a little water from your jar.”

18Òun náà dáhùn pé, “Mu, olúwa mi,” ó sì yára sọ ìkòkò omi náà ka ọwọ́ rẹ̀, ó sì fún un mu.“Drink, my lord,” she replied, and she quickly lowered her jar to her hands and gave him a drink.

19Lẹ́yìn tí ó ti fún un ni omi mu tán, ó wí pé, “Èmi ó bu omi fún àwọn ìbákasẹ rẹ pẹ̀lú títí wọn yóò fi mu àmutẹ́rùn.”After she had given him a drink, she said, “I will also draw water for your camels, until they have had enough to drink.”

20Ó sì yára da omi inú ìkòkò omi rẹ̀ sínú ìbùmu, ó sáré padà lọ sí ibi omi láti pọn sí i wá fún àwọn ìbákasẹ, títí tí ó fi pọn fún gbogbo wọn.And she quickly emptied her jar into the trough and ran back to the well to draw water, until she had drawn water for all his camels.

21Láìsọ ọ̀rọ̀ kan, ìránṣẹ́ yìí ń wo ọmọbìnrin náà fínní fínní láti mọ̀ bóyá Olúwa ti ṣe ìrìnàjò òun ní rere tàbí bẹ́ẹ̀ kọ́.Meanwhile, the man watched her silently to see whether or not the LORD had made his journey a success.

22Lẹ́yìn tí àwọn ìbákasẹ náà ti mu omi tán, ni ọkùnrin náà mú òrùka wúrà ààbọ̀ ìwọ̀n ṣékélì àti júfù méjì fún ọwọ́ rẹ̀, tí ìwọ̀n ṣékélì wúrà mẹ́wàá.And after the camels had finished drinking, he took out a gold ring weighing a beka, and two gold bracelets for her wrists weighing ten shekels.

23Lẹ́yìn náà, ó béèrè pé, “Ọmọ ta ni ìwọ í ṣe? Jọ̀wọ́ wí fún mi, ǹjẹ́ ààyè wà ní ilé baba rẹ láti wọ̀ sí ní alẹ́ yìí?”“Whose daughter are you?” he asked. “Please tell me, is there room in your father’s house for us to spend the night?”

24Ó dáhùn pé, “Betueli ọmọ tí Milka bí fún Nahori ni baba mi.”She replied, “I am the daughter of Bethuel, the son that Milcah bore to Nahor.”

25Ó sì fi kún un pé, “Àwa ní koríko àti ṣakaṣaka tó pẹ̀lú, àti ààyè láti wọ̀ sí.”Then she added, “We have plenty of straw and feed, as well as a place for you to spend the night.”

26Nígbà náà ni ọkùnrin náà tẹríba, ó sì sin Olúwa,Then the man bowed down and worshiped the LORD,

27wí pe, “Olùbùkún ni fún Olúwa, Ọlọ́run Abrahamu olúwa mi ti kò jẹ́ kí àánú àti òtítọ́ rẹ̀ kí ó yẹ̀ lọ́dọ̀ olúwa mi.

As for me, the LORD has led me on the journey to the house of my master’s relatives.”

28Ọmọbìnrin náà sì sáré, ó sì lọ sọ ohun gbogbo wọ̀nyí fún àwọn ará ilé ìyá rẹ̀.The girl ran and told her mother’s household about these things.

29Rebeka ní arákùnrin tí ń jẹ́ Labani; Labani sì sáré lọ bá ọkùnrin náà ní etí odò.Now Rebekah had a brother named Laban, and he rushed out to the man at the spring.

30Bí ó sì ti rí òrùka imú àti ẹ̀gbà ní ọwọ́ arábìnrin rẹ̀ tí ó sì tún gbọ́ ohun tí Rebeka sọ pé ọkùnrin náà sọ fún òun, ó jáde lọ bá ọkùnrin náà, ó sì bá a, ó dúró ti ìbákasẹ wọ̀n-ọn-nì ní ẹ̀bá ìsun omi.As soon as he saw the ring, and the bracelets on his sister’s wrists, and heard Rebekah’s words, “The man said this to me,” he went and found the man standing by the camels near the spring.

31Ó wí fún ọkùnrin náà pé, “Wá, ìwọ ẹni ìbùkún Olúwa, èéṣe tí o dúró sí ìta níhìn-ín? Mo ti pèsè ààyè sílẹ̀ fún ọ àti ààyè fún àwọn ìbákasẹ rẹ.”“Come, you who are blessed by the LORD,” said Laban. “Why are you standing out here? I have prepared the house and a place for the camels.”

32Ọkùnrin náà sì bá Labani lọ ilé, ó sì tú ẹrù orí ìbákasẹ rẹ̀ sílẹ̀, ó sì fún wọn ni koríko àti oúnjẹ. Ó sì bu omi fún ọkùnrin náà àti àwọn arákùnrin rẹ̀ láti wẹ ẹsẹ̀ wọn.So the man came to the house, and the camels were unloaded. Straw and feed were brought to the camels, and water to wash his feet and the feet of his companions.

33Wọ́n sì gbé oúnjẹ síwájú rẹ̀, ṣùgbọ́n, ó wí pé, “Èmi kò ní jẹun àyàfi bí mo bá sọ ohun tí mo ní í sọ.” Labani sì wí pé, “Kò burú, sọ ọ́.”Then a meal was set before the man, but he said, “I will not eat until I have told you what I came to say.” So Laban said, “Please speak.”

34Nítorí náà, ó wí pé, “Ìránṣẹ́ Abrahamu ni èmi.“I am Abraham’s servant,” he replied.

35Olúwa sì ti bùkún olúwa mi gidigidi.

He has given him sheep and cattle, silver and gold, menservants and maidservants, camels and donkeys.

So I said to her, ‘Please give me a drink.’

52Nígbà tí ọmọ ọ̀dọ̀ Abrahamu gbọ́ ohun tí wọ́n wí, ó wólẹ̀ níwájú Olúwa.When Abraham’s servant heard their words, he bowed down to the ground before the LORD.

He also gave precious gifts to her brother and her mother.

So she took her veil and covered herself.
