1 I braahimna waa da' weynaa, gabow buuna la dhacay. Rabbiguna Ibraahim buu ku barakeeyey wax walba.

Now Abraham was old, well advanced in age; and the Lord had blessed Abraham in all things.

2 O o Ibraahim, wuxuu ku yidhi addoonkiisii oo dadka gurigiisa ugu weynaa, oo u talin jiray wixii uu lahaa oo dhan, Waan ku baryayaaye gacantaada bowdadayda hoos dhig.

So Abraham said to the oldest servant of his house, who ruled over all that he had, “Please, put your hand under my thigh,

3 O o waxaan kugu dhaarin doonaa Rabbiga ah Ilaaha samada iyo Ilaaha dhulka inaadan wiilkayga naag uga guurinayn gabdhaha reer Kancaanka aan dhex degganahay:

and I will make you swear by the Lord, the God of heaven and the God of the earth, that you will not take a wife for my son from the daughters of the Canaanites, among whom I dwell;

4 l aakiin waxaad u kacdaa dalkaygii iyo xigaalkaygii, oo waxaad naag uga keentaa wiilkayga Isxaaq.

but you shall go to my country and to my family, and take a wife for my son Isaac.”

5 A ddoonkiina wuxuu ku yidhi, Waxaa laga yaabaa inaanay naagtu oggolaan inay ii soo raacdo dalkan; ma inaan wiilkaaga ku celiyo dalkii aad ka timid baa?

And the servant said to him, “Perhaps the woman will not be willing to follow me to this land. Must I take your son back to the land from which you came?”

6 I braahimna wuxuu ku yidhi isagii, Iska jir oo wiilkayga meeshaas ha ku celin.

But Abraham said to him, “Beware that you do not take my son back there.

7 R abbiga Ilaaha samada ah, oo iga soo kaxeeyey gurigii aabbahay iyo dalkaygii aan ku dhashay, oo ila hadlay, iiguna dhaartay, isagoo leh, Farcankaaga ayaan dalkan siinayaa, ayaa malaa'igtiisa kaa sii hor diri doona, wiilkaygana naag baad halkaas uga soo guurin doontaa.

The Lord God of heaven, who took me from my father’s house and from the land of my family, and who spoke to me and swore to me, saying, ‘To your descendants I give this land,’ He will send His angel before you, and you shall take a wife for my son from there.

8 H addii naagtu aanay oggolaan inay ku soo raacdo, markaas dhaartaydan waxba kaa ma saarna, laakiin wiilkayga halkaas ha ku celin.

And if the woman is not willing to follow you, then you will be released from this oath; only do not take my son back there.”

9 A ddoonkii wuxuu gacantiisii hoos dhigay bowdadii sayidkiisii Ibraahim, wuxuuna ugu dhaartay wax arrintan ku saabsan.

So the servant put his hand under the thigh of Abraham his master, and swore to him concerning this matter.

10 A ddoonkiina wuxuu kaxeeyey toban awr, oo ka mid ah awrtii sayidkiisa, wuuna tegey, isagoo gacantiisa ku haya waxyaalihii sayidkiisa oo wanaagsanaa oo dhan, oo intuu kacay ayuu tegey Mesobotamiya, xagga magaalada Naaxoor.

Then the servant took ten of his master’s camels and departed, for all his master’s goods were in his hand. And he arose and went to Mesopotamia, to the city of Nahor.

11 A wrtiina wuxuu tu'iyey meel magaalada dibaddeeda ah oo ceelka biyaha agtiisa ah kolkay galabtii ahayd, marka dumarku biyo dhaansiga u soo baxaan.

And he made his camels kneel down outside the city by a well of water at evening time, the time when women go out to draw water.

12 O o wuxuu yidhi, Rabbiyow, sayidkayga Ibraahim Ilaahiisow, waan ku baryayaaye, maanta i liibaani, sayidkayga Ibraahimna u roonow.

Then he said, “O Lord God of my master Abraham, please give me success this day, and show kindness to my master Abraham.

13 B al eeg, waxaan ag taaganahay isha biyaha ah, gabdhaha dadka magaaladuna waxay u soo baxayaan inay biyo dhaansadaan.

Behold, here I stand by the well of water, and the daughters of the men of the city are coming out to draw water.

14 G abadhii aan ku odhan doono, Ashuunkaaga deji, waan ku baryayaaye, aan ka cabbee, oo igu odhan doonta, Cab, awrtaadana waan waraabin doonaa, taasu ha noqoto tii aad u dooratay addoonkaaga Isxaaq, oo taas baan ku ogaan doonaa inaad sayidkayga u roonaatay.

Now let it be that the young woman to whom I say, ‘Please let down your pitcher that I may drink,’ and she says, ‘Drink, and I will also give your camels a drink’— let her be the one You have appointed for Your servant Isaac. And by this I will know that You have shown kindness to my master.”

15 I ntuusan hadalkii dhammayn, waxaa soo baxday, iyadoo ashuunkeedii garabka ku sidata, Rebeqah oo u dhalatay Betuu'el wiilkii Milkah, oo ahayd naagtii Naaxoorkii ahaa Ibraahim walaalkiis.

And it happened, before he had finished speaking, that behold, Rebekah, who was born to Bethuel, son of Milcah, the wife of Nahor, Abraham’s brother, came out with her pitcher on her shoulder.

16 G abadhuna waa suurad quruxsanayd, waxayna ahayd bikrad aan ninna u tegin. Waxay tagtay ishii biyaha ahayd xaggeeda, oo intay ashuunkeedii soo buuxsatay, ayay soo baxday.

Now the young woman was very beautiful to behold, a virgin; no man had known her. And she went down to the well, filled her pitcher, and came up.

17 M arkaasuu addoonkii ku orday inuu ka hor tago oo wuxuu ku yidhi, Ashuunkaaga iga waraabi in yar oo biyo ah, waan ku baryayaaye.

And the servant ran to meet her and said, “Please let me drink a little water from your pitcher.”

18 M arkaasay tidhi, Cab, sayidkaygiiyow. Oo intay dhaqsatay ayay ashuunkeedii dejisay oo gacanta ku qabatay, wayna waraabisay.

So she said, “Drink, my lord.” Then she quickly let her pitcher down to her hand, and gave him a drink.

19 O o markii ay waraabisay ka dib ayay ku tidhi, Awrtaadana waan u dhaamin doonaa, ilaa ay wabxaan.

And when she had finished giving him a drink, she said, “I will draw water for your camels also, until they have finished drinking.”

20 O o intay dhaqsatay ayay biyihii ashuunkeedii ku shubtay berkeddii, oo mar kalay ceelkii ku orodday inay soo dhaamiso, wayna u dhaamisay awrtiisii oo dhan.

Then she quickly emptied her pitcher into the trough, ran back to the well to draw water, and drew for all his camels.

21 N inkiina aad buu u fiiriyey iyada, isagoo aamusan, inuu ogaado in Rabbigu ku liibaaniyey sodcaalkiisii iyo in kale.

And the man, wondering at her, remained silent so as to know whether the Lord had made his journey prosperous or not.

22 M arkii awrtii cabtay ka dib ayaa ninkii soo qaaday sangelis dahab ah oo miisaankiisu yahay nus sheqel, gacmaheedana wuxuu u soo qaaday laba dugaagadood oo dahab ah oo miisaankoodu yahay toban sheqel.

So it was, when the camels had finished drinking, that the man took a golden nose ring weighing half a shekel, and two bracelets for her wrists weighing ten shekels of gold,

23 O o wuxuu ku yidhi, Ina ayaad tahay? Waan ku baryayaaye, ii sheeg. Guriga aabbahaa meel aannu ku hoyanno ma leeyahay?

and said, “Whose daughter are you? Tell me, please, is there room in your father’s house for us to lodge?”

24 O o waxay ku tidhi isagii, Anigu waxaan ahay ina Betuu'el, wiilkii Milkah ay Naaxoor u dhashay.

So she said to him, “I am the daughter of Bethuel, Milcah’s son, whom she bore to Nahor.”

25 O o weliba waxa kale oo ay ku tidhi, Caws iyo cunto badanba waannu haysannaa, iyo meel lagu hoydo.

Moreover she said to him, “We have both straw and feed enough, and room to lodge.”

26 M arkaasaa ninkii madaxa foororiyey oo Rabbiga caabuday.

Then the man bowed down his head and worshiped the Lord.

27 M arkaasuu yidhi, Mahad waxaa leh Rabbiga ah sayidkayga Ibraahim Ilaahiisa, oo aan naxariistiisa iyo runtiisa ka joojin sayidkayga. Anigana Rabbigu jidkuu igu soo hoggaamiyey, oo wuxuu i keenay gurigii sayidkayga walaalihiis.

And he said, “Blessed be the Lord God of my master Abraham, who has not forsaken His mercy and His truth toward my master. As for me, being on the way, the Lord led me to the house of my master’s brethren.”

28 G abadhiina intay orodday ayay waxyaalahan dadkii guriga hooyadeed uga warrantay.

So the young woman ran and told her mother’s household these things.

29 R ebeqahna waxay lahayd walaal magiciisa la yidhaahdo Laabaan. Markaasaa Laabaan dibadda u baxay oo wuxuu ku orday ninkii isha joogay.

Now Rebekah had a brother whose name was Laban, and Laban ran out to the man by the well.

30 M arkuu arkay sangeliskii, iyo dugaagadihii gacmihii walaashiis ku jiray, oo uu maqlay hadalkii walaashiis Rebeqah, iyadoo leh, Sidan buu ninkii iila hadlay, ayuu u yimid ninkii oo bal eeg, wuxuu ag istaagay awrtii isha joogtay.

So it came to pass, when he saw the nose ring, and the bracelets on his sister’s wrists, and when he heard the words of his sister Rebekah, saying, “Thus the man spoke to me,” that he went to the man. And there he stood by the camels at the well.

31 O o wuxuu ku yidhi, Kaaga Rabbigu barakeeyeyow, soo gal, maxaad dibadda u taagan tahay? Gurigii waan soo hagaajiyey, awrtana meel baan u diyaariyey.

And he said, “Come in, O blessed of the Lord! Why do you stand outside? For I have prepared the house, and a place for the camels.”

32 N inkiina gurigii buu soo galay, awrtiina wuu furay, wuxuuna isaga awrtii ugu dhiibay caws iyo cunto, biyona wuu siiyey inay ku cago maydhaan isaga iyo raggii la socdayba.

Then the man came to the house. And he unloaded the camels, and provided straw and feed for the camels, and water to wash his feet and the feet of the men who were with him.

33 C untona waa la hor dhigay inuu cuno: laakiinse wuxuu yidhi, Cuni maayo ilaa aan sheego farriintayda. Kolkaasuu yidhi, Sheeg.

Food was set before him to eat, but he said, “I will not eat until I have told about my errand.” And he said, “Speak on.”

34 M arkaasuu yidhi, Waxaan ahay Ibraahim addoonkiisa.

So he said, “I am Abraham’s servant.

35 R abbigu aad iyo aad buu u barakeeyey sayidkayga, wuuna weynaaday: wuxuuna siiyey adhi iyo lo', iyo lacag iyo dahab, iyo rag addoommo ah, iyo naago addoommo ah, iyo geel iyo dameerro.

The Lord has blessed my master greatly, and he has become great; and He has given him flocks and herds, silver and gold, male and female servants, and camels and donkeys.

36 S aarah oo ahayd sayidkayga naagtiisii ayaa wiil u dhashay sayidkayga markay gabowday, oo wuxuu isaga siiyey wuxuu leeyahay oo dhan.

And Sarah my master’s wife bore a son to my master when she was old; and to him he has given all that he has.

37 S ayidkayguna wuu i dhaariyey, isagoo leh, Wiilkayga waa inaanad naag uga guurin gabdhaha reer Kancaanka aan dalkooda degganahay.

Now my master made me swear, saying, ‘You shall not take a wife for my son from the daughters of the Canaanites, in whose land I dwell;

38 L aakiinse waxaad u kacdaa gurigii aabbahay, iyo xigaalkaygii, oo wiilkayga naag uga keen.

but you shall go to my father’s house and to my family, and take a wife for my son.’

39 M arkaasaan sayidkaygii ku idhi, Waxaa laga yaabaa inaanay naagtu i soo raaci doonin.

And I said to my master, ‘Perhaps the woman will not follow me.’

40 O o wuxuu igu yidhi, Rabbiga aan hortiisa ku socdo wuxuu ku raacin doonaa malaa'igtiisa, jidkaagana wuu kugu liibaanin doonaa, wiilkaygana naag baad uga guurin doontaa xigaalkaygii iyo gurigii aabbahay,

But he said to me, ‘The Lord, before whom I walk, will send His angel with you and prosper your way; and you shall take a wife for my son from my family and from my father’s house.

41 d abadeedna dhaartayda waxba kaama saarna, markaad u tagto xigaalkay; oo hadday iyada ku siin waayaan, markaas dhaartayda waxba kaama saarna.

You will be clear from this oath when you arrive among my family; for if they will not give her to you, then you will be released from my oath.’

42 M aantaan isha imid oo waxaan idhi, Rabbiyow, sayidkayga Ibraahim Ilaahiisow, haddaad haatan jidkayga aan ku socdo igu liibaanisid,

“And this day I came to the well and said, ‘O Lord God of my master Abraham, if You will now prosper the way in which I go,

43 b al eeg, waxaan ag taaganahay isha biyaha ah, gabadhii u soo baxda inay biyo dhaansato oo aan ku odhan doono, Waan ku baryayaaye, ashuunkaaga iga sii in yar oo biyo ah aan cabbee,

behold, I stand by the well of water; and it shall come to pass that when the virgin comes out to draw water, and I say to her, “Please give me a little water from your pitcher to drink,”

44 o o igu odhan doonta, Cab, awrtaadana waan u dhaamin doonaa, taasu ha noqoto tii Rabbigu u doortay wiilka sayidkayga.

and she says to me, “Drink, and I will draw for your camels also,”— let her be the woman whom the Lord has appointed for my master’s son.’

45 O o intaan hadalkii qalbigayga ka dhammaan ayaa Rebeqah soo baxday iyadoo ashuunkeedii garabka ku sidata, markaasay ishii ku dhaadhacday, oo soo dhaansatay: anna waxaan ku idhi, Waan ku baryayaaye, i waraabi.

“But before I had finished speaking in my heart, there was Rebekah, coming out with her pitcher on her shoulder; and she went down to the well and drew water. And I said to her, ‘Please let me drink.’

46 I yana intay dhaqsatay oo ay ashuunkeedii garabkeeda ka soo dejisay ayay tidhi, Cab, awrtaadana waan waraabin doonaa: sidaas daraaddeed waan cabbay, awrtiina way waraabisay.

And she made haste and let her pitcher down from her shoulder, and said, ‘Drink, and I will give your camels a drink also.’ So I drank, and she gave the camels a drink also.

47 M arkaasaan weyddiiyey oo ku idhi, Ina ayaad tahay? Oo waxay tidhi, Ina Betuu'el wiilkii Naaxoor ay Milkah u dhashay isaga. Markaasaan sangeliskii sanka u sudhay; dugaagadihiina gacmaha u geliyey.

Then I asked her, and said, ‘Whose daughter are you?’ And she said, ‘The daughter of Bethuel, Nahor’s son, whom Milcah bore to him.’ So I put the nose ring on her nose and the bracelets on her wrists.

48 K olkaasaan madaxa foororiyey, oo Rabbiga caabuday, oo waxaan ammaanay Rabbiga ah sayidkayga Ibraahim Ilaahiisa, oo igu soo hoggaamiyey jidkii toosnaa, inaan gabadhii sayidkayga walaalkiis u kaxeeyo wiilkiisa.

And I bowed my head and worshiped the Lord, and blessed the Lord God of my master Abraham, who had led me in the way of truth to take the daughter of my master’s brother for his son.

49 H addaba haddaad sayidkayga ula macaamiloonaysaan si raxmad leh oo daacad ah, ii sheega: haddii kalese ii sheega, inaan u leexdo xagga midigta ama xagga bidixda.

Now if you 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 M arkaasay Laabaan iyo Betuu'el jawaabeen oo yidhaahdeen, Waxanu wuxuu ka soo baxay xagga Rabbiga, annana kugulama hadli karno xumaan iyo samaan toona.

Then Laban and Bethuel answered and said, “The thing comes from the Lord; we cannot speak to you either bad or good.

51 B al eeg, Rebeqah waa ku hor joogtaaye, kaxee oo la tag, oo ha noqoto sayidkaaga wiilkiisii naagtiisa, sidii Rabbigu ku hadlay.

Here is Rebekah before you; take her and go, and let her be your master’s son’s wife, as the Lord has spoken.”

52 M arkii uu Ibraahim addoonkiisii hadalkoodii maqlay ayuu Rabbiga u sujuuday.

And it came to pass, when Abraham’s servant heard their words, that he worshiped the Lord, bowing himself to the earth.

53 M arkaasuu addoonkii soo bixiyey jowharro lacag ah iyo jowharro dahab ah, iyo dhar, oo Rebeqah siiyey: walaalkeed iyo hooyadeedna wuxuu siiyey waxyaalo qaali ah.

Then the servant brought out jewelry of silver, jewelry of gold, and clothing, and gave them to Rebekah. He also gave precious things to her brother and to her mother.

54 M arkaasay wax cuneen oo wax cabbeen, isaga iyo raggii la jirayba, habeenkii oo dhanna halkaasay joogeen. Aroortii bay kaceen oo wuxuu yidhi, Xagga sayidkaygii ii dira.

And he and the men who were with him ate and drank and stayed all night. Then they arose in the morning, and he said, “Send me away to my master.”

55 W alaalkeed iyo hooyadeedna waxay yidhaahdeen, Gabadhu ha nala joogto dhawr maalmood, ugu yaraan toban beri; dabadeedna way tegi doontaa.

But her brother and her mother said, “Let the young woman stay with us a few days, at least ten; after that she may go.”

56 M arkaasuu ku yidhi iyagii, Rabbigu waa igu liibaaniyey jidkaygii, sidaas daraaddeed ha i raajinina, ee i dira inaan sayidkaygii u tago.

And he said to them, “Do not hinder me, since the Lord has prospered my way; send me away so that I may go to my master.”

57 M arkaasay yidhaahdeen, Gabadha waannu u yeedhi doonnaa oo weyddiin doonnaa.

So they said, “We will call the young woman and ask her personally.”

58 M arkaasay Rebeqah u yeedheen, oo waxay ku yidhaahdeen, Ninkan ma raacaysaa? Oo waxay tidhi, Haah, waan raacayaa.

Then they called Rebekah and said to her, “Will you go with this man?” And she said, “I will go.”

59 M arkaasay walaashood Rebeqah direen, iyada iyo midiidinteedii, iyo addoonkii Ibraahim, iyo raggiisiiba.

So they sent away Rebekah their sister and her nurse, and Abraham’s servant and his men.

60 O o Rebeqah bay u duceeyeen oo ku yidhaahdeen, Walaashayoy, kumanyaal kun hooyadood noqo, farcankaaguna kuwa iyaga neceb iriddooda ha hantiyeen.

And they blessed Rebekah and said to her: “Our sister, may you become The mother of thousands of ten thousands; And may your descendants possess The gates of those who hate them.”

61 R ebeqahna way kacday, iyada iyo gabdhaheediiba, oo waxay fuuleen awrtii, ninkiina way raaceen: addoonkiina wuu kaxeeyey Rebeqah, wuuna tegey.

Then Rebekah and her maids arose, and they rode on the camels and followed the man. So the servant took Rebekah and departed.

62 I sxaaqna wuxuu ka yimid xagga jidka Bi'ir Lahayroy, waayo, wuxuu degganaa dhulka Koonfureed.

Now Isaac came from the way of Beer Lahai Roi, for he dwelt in the South.

63 O o gabbaldhicii ayaa Isxaaq berrinka u soo baxay inuu fikiro: markaasuu indhihiisa kor u taagay, oo wax fiiriyey, oo wuxuu arkay awr soo socota.

And Isaac went out to meditate in the field in the evening; and he lifted his eyes and looked, and there, the camels were coming.

64 R ebeqahna indhaheedii bay kor u taagtay, oo markay Isxaaq aragtay ayay ratigii ka degtay.

Then Rebekah lifted her eyes, and when she saw Isaac she dismounted from her camel;

65 O o waxay addoonkii ku tidhi, Waa ayo ninkaas berrinka dhex socda, oo inaga hor imanaya? Addoonkiina wuxuu yidhi, Waa sayidkaygii. Markaasay indhashareerteedii qaadatay oo hagoogatay.

for she had said to the servant, “Who is this man walking in the field to meet us?” The servant said, “It is my master.” So she took a veil and covered herself.

66 A ddoonkiina wuxuu Isxaaq u sheegay wixii uu sameeyey oo dhan.

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

67 I sxaaqna wuxuu iyadii soo geliyey teendhadii hooyadiis Saarah, Rebeqahna wuu guursaday, oo naagtiisii bay noqotay. Wuuna jeclaaday iyada, oo Isxaaq waxaa laga qalbi qabowjiyey geeridii hooyadiis.

Then Isaac brought her into his mother Sarah’s tent; and he took Rebekah and she became his wife, and he loved her. So Isaac was comforted after his mother’s death.
