When the camels had finished drinking; the man took out a gold nose ring weighing a beka and two gold bracelets weighing ten shekels。
23 说,请告诉我,你是谁的女儿,你父亲家里有我们住宿的地方没有。
Then he asked; 〃Whose daughter are you? Please tell me; is there room in your father's house for us to spend the night?〃
24 女子说,我是密迦与拿鹤之子彼土利的女儿。
She answered him; 〃I am the daughter of Bethuel; the son that Milcah bore to Nahor。〃
25 又说,我们家里足有粮草,也有住宿的地方。
And she added; 〃We have plenty of straw and fodder; as well as room for you to spend the night。〃
26 那人就低头向耶和华下拜,
Then the man bowed down and worshiped the LORD;
27 说,耶和华我主人亚伯拉罕的神是应当称颂的,因他不断地以慈爱诚实待我主人。至于我,耶和华在路上引领我,直走到我主人的兄弟家里。
saying; 〃Praise be to the LORD; the God of my master Abraham; who has not abandoned his kindness and faithfulness to my master。 As for me; the LORD has led me on the journey to the house of my master's relatives。〃
28 女子跑回去,照着这些话告诉她母亲和她家里的人。
The girl ran and told her mother's household about these things。
29 利百加有一个哥哥,名叫拉班,看见金环,又看见金镯在他妹子的手上,并听见他妹子利百加的话,说那人对我如此如此说。拉班就跑出来往井旁去,到那人跟前,见他仍站在骆驼旁边的井旁那里。
Now Rebekah had a brother named Laban; and he hurried out to the man at the spring。
30
As soon as he had seen the nose ring; and the bracelets on his sister's arms; and had heard Rebekah tell what the man said to her; he went out to the man and found him standing by the camels near the spring。
31 便对他说,你这蒙耶和华赐福的,请进来,为什么站在外边?我已经收拾了房屋,也为骆驼预备了地方。
〃e; you who are blessed by the LORD;〃 he said。 〃Why are you standing out here? I have prepared the house and a place for the camels。〃
32 那人就进了拉班的家。拉班卸了骆驼,用草料喂上,拿水给那人和跟随的人洗脚,
So the man went to the house; and the camels were unloaded。 Straw and fodder were brought for the camels; and water for him and his men to wash their feet。
33 把饭摆在他面前,叫他吃,他却说,我不吃,等我说明白我的事情再吃。拉班说,请说。
Then food was set before him; but he said; 〃I will not eat until I have told you what I have to say。〃 〃Then tell us;〃 Laban said。
34 他说,我是亚伯拉罕的仆人。
So he said; 〃I am Abraham's servant。
35 耶和华大大地赐福给我主人,使他昌大,又赐给他羊群,牛群,金银,仆婢,骆驼,和驴。
The LORD has blessed my master abundantly; and he has bee wealthy。 He has given him sheep and cattle; silver and gold; menservants and maidservants; and camels and donkeys。
36 我主人的妻子撒拉年老的时候给我主人生了一个儿子。我主人也将一切所有的都给了这个儿子。
My master's wife Sarah has borne him a son in her old age; and he has given him everything he owns。
37 我主人叫我起誓说,你不要为我儿子娶迦南地的女子为妻。
And my master made me swear an oath; and said; 'You must not get a wife for my son from the daughters of the Canaanites; in whose land I live;
38 你要往我父家,我本族那里去,为我的儿子娶一个妻子。
but go to my father's family and to my own clan; and get a wife for my son。'
39 我对我主人说,恐怕女子不肯跟我来。
〃Then I asked my master; 'What if the woman will not e back with me?'
40 他就说,我所事奉的耶和华必要差遣他的使者与你同去,叫你的道路通达,你就得以在我父家,我本族那里,给我的儿子娶一个妻子。
〃He replied; 'The LORD; before whom I have walked; will send his angel with you and make your journey a success; so that you can get a wife for my son from my own clan and from my father's family。
41 只要你到了我本族那里,我使你起的誓就与你无干。他们若不把女子交给你,我使你起的誓也与你无干。
Then; when you go to my clan; you will be released from my oath even if they refuse to give her to youyou will be released from my oath。'
42 我今日到了井旁,便说,耶和华我主人亚伯拉罕的神阿,愿你叫我所行的道路通达。
〃When I came to the spring today; I said; 'O LORD; God of my master Abraham; if you will; please grant success to the journey on which I have e。
43 我如今站在井旁,对那一个出来打水的女子说,请你把你瓶里的水给我一点喝。
See; I am standing beside this spring; if a maiden es out to draw water and I say to her; 〃Please let me drink a little water from your jar;〃
44 她若说,你只管喝,我也为你的骆驼打水。愿那女子就作耶和华给我主人儿子所预定的妻。
and if she says to me; 〃Drink; and I'll draw water for your camels too;〃 let her be the one the LORD has chosen for my master's son。'
45 我心里的话还没有说完,利百加就出来,肩头上扛着水瓶,下到井旁打水。我便对她说,请你给我水喝。
〃Before I finished praying in my heart; Rebekah came out; with her jar on her shoulder。 She went down to the spring and drew water; and I said to her; 'Please give me a drink。'
46 她就急忙从肩头上拿下瓶来,说,请喝,我也给你的骆驼喝。我便喝了。她又给我的骆驼喝了。
〃She quickly lowered her jar from her shoulder and said; 'Drink; and I'll water your camels too。' So I drank; and she watered the camels also。
47 我问她说,你是谁的女儿,她说,我是密迦与拿鹤之子彼土利的女儿。我就把环子戴在她鼻子上,把镯子戴在她两手上。
〃I asked her; 'Whose daughter are you?' 〃She said; 'The daughter of Bethuel son of Nahor; whom Milcah bore to him。' 〃Then I put the ring in her nose and the bracelets on her arms;
48 随后我低头向耶和华下拜,称颂耶和华我主人亚伯拉罕的神。因为他引导我走合式的道路,使我得着我主人兄弟的孙女,给我主人的儿子为妻。
and I bowed down and worshiped the LORD。 I praised the LORD; the God of my master Abraham; who had led me on the right road to get the granddaughter of my master's brother for his son。
49 现在你们若愿以慈爱诚实待我主人,就告诉我。若不然,也告诉我,使我可以或向左,或向右。
Now if you will show kindness and faithfulness to my master; tell me; and if not; tell me; so I may know which way to turn。〃
50 拉班和彼土利回答说,这事乃出于耶和华,我们不能向你说好说歹。
Laban and Bethuel answered; 〃This is from the LORD; we can say nothing to you one way or the other。
51 看哪,利百加在你面前,可以将她带去,照着耶和华所说的,给你主人的儿�
