| 1 | And Abraham was old, and well stricken in age: and the LORD had blessed Abraham in all things. | |
| 2 | And 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: | Əzəl iyyan iṇṇa Ibrahim y əkli-nnet wa n asahaw-net, wa inəṭṭafan əd təla-nnet kul: «Ag'əfus nak daw taɣma-nin, |
| 3 | And 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: | amaran təhədaɣ-i s Əməli, Məššina ən jənnawan əd ṃədlan, as du-wər-za-tədkəla i barar-in tanṭut daɣ təbararen ən Kəl Kanan win ɣur əɣsara, |
| 4 | But thou shalt go unto my country, and to my kindred, and take a wife unto my son Isaac. | mišan ad-takka akal-in daɣ marwan-in tədkəla-du tanṭut i barar-in Isxaq.» |
| 5 | And 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? | Ijjəwwab-as əkli: «Mijas tanṭut wər za-tardu s a-di-du-təlkəm əs kallan a da. Awak ad-awəya barar-nak s akal wa du-təg̣mada?» |
| 6 | And Abraham said unto him, Beware thou that thou bring not my son thither again. | Iṇṇ-as Ibrahim: «Kaššeday fəl ad-tewaya barar-in s akal en! |

| 8 | And 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. | As tugay tənṭut s a-dak-du-təlkəm təfal-kay təhuday ta d-i təge da. Mišan ad-wər-tawəya barar-in s akal en.» |
| 9 | And the servant put his hand under the thigh of Abraham his master, and sware to him concerning that matter. | Iga əkli əfus-net daw taɣma n Ibrahim, məšš-is, ihad as ad-ammazal a w'as das-iṇṇa. |
| 10 | And 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. | Isannafran-du ṃaraw olaman daɣ ṃənas ən məšš-is, issəwər-tan aratan n Ibrahim win əlanen əlqimat. Iga anamod ən fallatan ən Mesofotami, ikka aɣrəm wa iha ahan ən Naxor, amaḍray n Ibrahim. |
| 11 | And 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. | Issəgan olaman dagma n aṇu ihan ṭama n əɣrəm, ṭakəst, alwaq wa daɣ du-kattarnat təḍoden. |
| 12 | And he said, O LORD God of my master Abraham, I pray thee, send me good speed this day, and shew kindness unto my master Abraham. | Iṭṭar s a wa: «Əməli, Məššina ən məšš-i Ibrahim, təṇsaraɣ-i azalada. Səṃṃətəkwəy əlluɣ-nak i məšš-i Ibrahim sa das-taga tara-nnet. |
| 13 | Behold, I stand here by the well of water; and the daughters of the men of the city come out to draw water: | Nak da ɣur šaṭ a amaran šibararen n əɣrəm a-dd-əzrəgnat. |
| 14 | And 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 servan | Ad-aṇsəya iyyat daɣ-asnat ad-i-du-takfu ətəkin-net ad-aššwa, as d-i-təṇṇa: " Yay ašəw, amaran ad-əššašwa olaman-nak tolas.", ad-əṣṣənaɣ as ənta a təfrana y əkli-nnak Isxaq. S asaway di ad-əṣṣəna as təsiṃatakwaya əlluɣ-nak i məšš-i. |
| 15 | And 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. | Wər iɣred d awal, as ogga Raqqiyetu təzay-du təssiwar ətəkin-net əzir-net, elles ən Bətuhel, rur-es ən Milka əd Naxor, amaḍray n Ibrahim. |
| 16 | And 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. | Təmawat təgat šihussay šin əqqitasnen, wər təzday meddan. Təraṣ-du šaṭ, təḍnay ətəkin-net, təg̣g̣əzzay. |
| 17 | And the servant ran to meet her, and said, Let me, I pray thee, drink a little water of thy pitcher. | Ozal əkli issəlkad-as, iṇṇa: «Oṇsayaq-qam ad-i-taššašwa daɣ ətəkin-nam.» |
| 18 | And she said, Drink, my lord: and she hasted, and let down her pitcher upon her hand, and gave him drink. | Təṇṇ-as: «Ašəw, məšš-i!» Tərrorad əsəggətti n ətəkin y as ad-ašəw. |
| 19 | And when she had done giving him drink, she said, I will draw water for thy camels also, until they have done drinking. | As išwa, təṇṇ-as: «Ad-əjjijəla y olaman-nak har ašwin kul.» |
| 20 | And she hasted, and emptied her pitcher into the trough, and ran again unto the well to draw water, and drew for all his camels. | Tərrorad tanaɣla n ətəkin-net daɣ əɣlal, tozal təḍnay-t-idu har təššəšwa olaman kul. |
| 21 | And the man wondering at her held his peace, to wit whether the LORD had made his journey prosperous or not. | A tat-izagaz-du aləs s əməkəyad da, wər iṇṇa arat fəl ad-inəy kud əməli a iṇsaran əšikəl-net wala. |
| 22 | And 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; | As əšwan olaman, idkal-du aləs təzəbit n urəɣ təgat əzuk n ədinar ig-et daɣ tanjart-net. Idkal-du tolas ilkəzan əššin n urəɣ s akk-iyyan iga ṃaraw dinaran əd ṣəmmos, iqqan-as-tan. |
| 23 | And said, Whose daughter art thou? tell me, I pray thee: is there room in thy father's house for us to lodge in? | «Ma kam erawan? Are daɣ-am ad-i-tu-təməla. Ill-ay adag daɣ ahan n abba-nnam daɣ ənṣeɣ ahad a nak əd win dər əddewa?» |
| 24 | And she said unto him, I am the daughter of Bethuel the son of Milcah, which she bare unto Nahor. | Təjjəwwab-as: «Nak tabarart ən Bətuhel, rures ən Milka əd Naxor.» |
| 25 | She said moreover unto him, We have both straw and provender enough, and room to lodge in. | Təṇṇ-as harwa: «Ehan-nana ih-ay əlmmuz d amassaḍon aggen d adag a daɣ tənṣeɣ.» |
| 26 | And the man bowed down his head, and worshipped the LORD. | Issəjad aləs y Əməli, ig̣g̣oday-as. |
| 27 | And 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. | Iṇṇa: «Əg̣g̣odayaɣ-ak ya Əməli, Məššina ən məšš-i Ibrahim!

| 28 | And the damsel ran, and told them of her mother's house these things. | Tozal tabarart ad-tagu isalan y anna-nnet. Ənta Raqqiyetu təla amaqqar igan eṣəm Laban.

| 29 | And Rebekah had a brother, and his name was Laban: and Laban ran out unto the man, unto the well. | |
| 30 | And 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 th | |

| 32 | And 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. | Ewaḍ-du aləs ehan, izazzabbat Laban ilalan fəl olaman, təzzar ikf-en ələmmuz, amaran d aṃan as iššorad aləs iḍaran-net əd ḍaran ən win dər iddew. |
| 33 | And 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. | Dəffər a wen əkfan-tu teṭṭay. Mišan iṇṇa: «Nak wər z-atša iket wər əmelaɣ arat wa di-d-ewayan.» «Šiwəl!» iṇṇ-as Laban. |
| 34 | And he said, I am Abraham's servant. | Təzzar iṇṇa: «Nak akli n Ibrahim. |
| 35 | And 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. | Əməli ikfa məšš-i albaraka, iqqal amassehay ikf-ay ayfəḍ əd wəlli əd šitan, d əzrəf d urəɣ, d eklan əd taklaten, əd ṃənas d əzdan. |
| 36 | And 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. | Sarata tanṭut ən məšš-i, təssaha-ddu barar daɣ tušaray-nnet i məšš-i; təzzar ikf-ay a wa ila kul. |
| 37 | And 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: | Məšš-i issəhad-i as wər du-z-ədkəla i barar-net tanṭut daɣ təmawaḍen ən Kəl Kanan, daɣ akal wa təha təməɣsurt-net. |
| 38 | But thou shalt go unto my father's house, and to my kindred, and take a wife unto my son. | Mišan ad-akka ehan n abba-nnet əd marwan-net awəya-du i barar-net tanṭut. |
| 39 | And I said unto my master, Peradventure the woman will not follow me. | Əṇṇeɣ i məšš-i: Mijas ad-tugəy tənṭut s ad-i-du-təlkəm.» |
| 40 | And 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: | Ijjəwwab-i: «Əməli dat əjawanke, add-assaglu angalos-net idaw dər-ək. Təzzar iṇsər əšikəl-nak tədkəla-du i barar-in tanṭut ən marwan-in n aɣaywan n abba-nin. |
| 41 | Then 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. | A-kay-təfal təhuday ta di təge as din-toṣeɣ imarwan-in, kud tat-təgrawa wala.» |
| 42 | And 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; | As d-oṣeɣ dagma ən šaṭ azalada, əgeɣ təwaṭray a da: «Əməli, Məššina ən məšš-i Ibrahim, təṇsaraɣ əšikəl a əgeɣ da. |
| 43 | Behold, 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; | Əmərədda ad əlle ɣur šaṭ ad aṇsəya təmawat ta du-təzragat a-di-tašašu daɣ ətəkin-net. |
| 44 | And 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. | As di-təjjəwwab as:" Ašəw! amaran a-dak-əššašwa iṃənas-nak," ad-əṣṣənaɣ as ənta tanṭut ta təfrana i barar ən məšš-i.» |
| 45 | And 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. | Harwa da wər əɣreda təwaṭray daɣ ṃan-in, as du-təraz Raqqiyetu, təssiwar ətəkin-net əzir-net toṣ-in šaṭ təjjojal.

| 46 | And 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. | Tərrorad as di-du-təzzəl ətəkin-net, təṇṇ-i: «Ašəw, dəffər as təšwe ad-ak-aššašwa olaman-nak.» As əšwe, təššəšw-i olaman-in. |
| 47 | And 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. | Assaɣa wa tat-əṣṣəstana əd wa tat-erawan, təjjəwwab-i: «Nak tabarart ən Bətuhel, rur-es ən Naxor, teraw Milka. Assaɣa di ad əge təzəbit daɣ tanjart-net, əgeɣ ilkəzan daɣ fassan-net. |
| 48 | And 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. | Əssəjada y Əməli, əg̣g̣odayaɣ-as, Məššina ən məšš-i Ibrahim, a di-izazzalalaɣan s adag wa daɣ du-z-ədkəla i rur-es tabarart ən tagazay ən məšš-i. |

| 50 | Then Laban and Bethuel answered and said, The thing proceedeth from the LORD: we cannot speak unto thee bad or good. | Ijjəwwab-as Laban əd Bətuhel: «A wa igi n Əməli iṃan-net daɣ a di wər nəfreg taṇṇa daɣ-as arat. |

| 52 | And it came to pass, that, when Abraham's servant heard their words, he worshipped the LORD, bowing himself to the earth. | As isla əkli n Ibrahim y awal wen, issəjad har aṃadal, ig̣g̣oday y Əməli. |
| 53 | And 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. | Dəffər a wen ikkas-du daɣ lalan-net uɣənan n əzrəf d urəɣ əd təbəddaɣ ikf-en y Raqqiyetu.

| 57 | And they said, We will call the damsel, and inquire at her mouth. | «Aɣratana tabarart ad-nəṣṣən a wa təṇṇa.» |
| 58 | And they called Rebekah, and said unto her, Wilt thou go with this man? And she said, I will go. | Əɣran-du Raqqiyetu, əṣṣəstanan-tat: «Tareɣ tidawt n aləs a da?» Təṇṇa: «Awalla.» |
| 59 | And they sent away Rebekah their sister, and her nurse, and Abraham's servant, and his men. | Oyyan Raqqiyetu amaran əd təklit-net təddew d əkli n Ibrahim əd meddan-net. |
| 60 | And 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. | Əgan albaraka-nnasan i Raqqiyetu, əṇṇan-as: «Əqqəl, kam tamaḍrayt-nana, maṣ ən giman ən giman ən meddan.
