A Bride for Isaac
1Adapun Abraham telah tua dan lanjut umurnya, serta diberkati TUHAN dalam segala hal. 2Berkatalah Abraham kepada hambanya yang paling tua dalam rumahnya, yang menjadi kuasa atas segala kepunyaannya, katanya: "Baiklah letakkan tanganmu di bawah pangkal pahaku, 3supaya aku mengambil sumpahmu demi TUHAN, Allah yang empunya langit dan yang empunya bumi, bahwa engkau tidak akan mengambil untuk anakku seorang isteri dari antara perempuan Kanaan yang di antaranya aku diam. 4Tetapi engkau harus pergi ke negeriku dan kepada sanak saudaraku untuk mengambil seorang isteri bagi Ishak, anakku." 5Lalu berkatalah hambanya itu kepadanya: "Mungkin perempuan itu tidak suka mengikuti aku ke negeri ini; haruskah aku membawa anakmu itu kembali ke negeri dari mana tuanku keluar ?" 6Tetapi Abraham berkata kepadanya: "Awas, jangan kaubawa anakku itu kembali ke sana. 7TUHAN, Allah yang empunya langit, yang telah memanggil aku dari rumah ayahku serta dari negeri sanak saudaraku, dan yang telah berfirman kepadaku, serta yang bersumpah kepadaku, demikian: kepada keturunanmulah akan Kuberikan negeri ini -- Dialah juga akan mengutus malaikat-Nya berjalan di depanmu, sehingga engkau dapat mengambil seorang isteri dari sana untuk anakku. 8Tetapi jika perempuan itu tidak mau mengikuti engkau, maka lepaslah engkau dari sumpahmu kepadaku ini; hanya saja, janganlah anakku itu kaubawa kembali ke sana." 9Lalu hamba itu meletakkan tangannya di bawah pangkal paha Abraham, tuannya, dan bersumpah kepadanya tentang hal itu.
1Now Abraham was old, advanced in age; and the LORD had blessed Abraham in every way. 2Abraham said to his servant, the oldest of his household who was in charge of all that he owned, “Please place your hand under my thigh, 3and I will make you swear by the LORD, the God of heaven and the God of earth, that you shall not take a wife for my son from the daughters of the Canaanites, among whom I live; 4but you will go to my country and to my relatives, and take a wife for my son Isaac.” 5The servant said to him, “Suppose the woman is not willing to follow me to this land; should I take your son back to the land from where you came?” 6Then Abraham said to him, “Beware that you do not take my son back there! 7“The LORD, the God of heaven, who took me from my father’s house and from the land of my birth, and who spoke to me and who swore to me, saying, ‘To your descendants I will give this land’—He will send His angel ahead of you, and you will take a wife for my son from there. 8“But if the woman is not willing to follow you, then you will be free of this oath of mine; only do not take my son back there.” 9So the servant placed his hand under the thigh of his master Abraham, and swore to him concerning this matter.
10Kemudian hamba itu mengambil sepuluh ekor dari unta tuannya dan pergi dengan membawa berbagai-bagai barang berharga kepunyaan tuannya; demikianlah ia berangkat menuju Aram-Mesopotamia ke kota Nahor. 11Di sana disuruhnyalah unta itu berhenti di luar kota dekat suatu sumur, pada waktu petang hari, waktu perempuan-perempuan keluar untuk menimba air. 12Lalu berkatalah ia: "TUHAN, Allah tuanku Abraham, buatlah kiranya tercapai tujuanku pada hari ini, tunjukkanlah kasih setia-Mu kepada tuanku Abraham. 13Di sini aku berdiri di dekat mata air, dan anak-anak perempuan penduduk kota ini datang keluar untuk menimba air. 14Kiranya terjadilah begini: anak gadis, kepada siapa aku berkata: Tolong miringkan buyungmu itu, supaya aku minum, dan yang menjawab: Minumlah, dan unta-untamu juga akan kuberi minum -- dialah kiranya yang Kautentukan bagi hamba-Mu, Ishak; maka dengan begitu akan kuketahui, bahwa Engkau telah menunjukkan kasih setia-Mu kepada tuanku itu."
10Then the servant took ten camels from the camels of his master, and went out with a variety of good things of his master’s in his hand; so he set out and went to Mesopotamia, to the city of Nahor. 11He made the camels kneel down outside the city by the well of water when it was evening, the time when women go out to draw water. 12And he said, “LORD, God of my master Abraham, please grant me success today, and show kindness to my master Abraham. 13“Behold, I am standing by the spring, and the daughters of the men of the city are coming out to draw water; 14now may it be that the young woman to whom I say, ‘Please let down your jar so that I may drink,’ and who answers, ‘Drink, and I will water your camels also’—may she be the one whom You have appointed for Your servant Isaac; and by this I will know that You have shown kindness to my master.”
Rebekah Is Chosen
15Sebelum ia selesai berkata, maka datanglah Ribka, yang lahir bagi Betuel, anak laki-laki Milka, isteri Nahor, saudara Abraham; buyungnya dibawanya di atas bahunya. 16Anak gadis itu sangat cantik parasnya, seorang perawan, belum pernah bersetubuh dengan laki-laki; ia turun ke mata air itu dan mengisi buyungnya, lalu kembali naik. 17Kemudian berlarilah hamba itu mendapatkannya serta berkata: "Tolong beri aku minum air sedikit dari buyungmu itu." 18Jawabnya: "Minumlah, tuan," maka segeralah diturunkannya buyungnya itu ke tangannya, serta diberinya dia minum. 19Setelah ia selesai memberi hamba itu minum, berkatalah ia: "Baiklah untuk unta-untamu juga kutimba air, sampai semuanya puas minum." 20Kemudian segeralah dituangnya air yang di buyungnya itu ke dalam palungan, lalu berlarilah ia sekali lagi ke sumur untuk menimba air dan ditimbanyalah untuk semua unta orang itu. 21Dan orang itu mengamat-amatinya dengan berdiam diri untuk mengetahui apakah TUHAN membuat perjalanannya berhasil atau tidak.
15And it came about, before he had finished speaking, that behold, Rebekah, who was born to Bethuel the son of Milcah, the wife of Abraham’s brother Nahor, came out with her jar on her shoulder. 16The young woman was very beautiful, a virgin; no man had had relations with her. She went down to the spring, filled her jar, and came up. 17Then the servant ran to meet her, and said, “Please let me drink a little water from your jar.” 18And she said, “Drink, my lord”; then she quickly lowered her jar to her hand, and gave him a drink. 19Now when she had finished giving him a drink, she said, “I will also draw water for your camels until they have finished drinking.” 20So she quickly emptied her jar into the trough, and ran back to the well to draw, and she drew for all his camels. 21Meanwhile, the man was taking a close look at her in silence, to find out whether the LORD had made his journey successful or not.
22Setelah unta-unta itu puas minum, maka orang itu mengambil anting-anting emas yang setengah syikal beratnya, dan sepasang gelang tangan yang sepuluh syikal emas beratnya, 23serta berkata: "Anak siapakah engkau ? Baiklah katakan kepadaku! Adakah di rumah ayahmu tempat bermalam bagi kami?" 24Lalu jawabnya kepadanya: "Ayahku Betuel, anak Milka, yang melahirkannya bagi Nahor." 25Lagi kata gadis itu: "Baik jerami, baik makanan unta banyak pada kami, tempat bermalampun ada." 26Lalu berlututlah orang itu dan sujud menyembah TUHAN, 27serta berkata: "Terpujilah TUHAN, Allah tuanku Abraham, yang tidak menarik kembali kasih-Nya dan setia-Nya dari tuanku itu; dan TUHAN telah menuntun aku di jalan ke rumah saudara-saudara tuanku ini!"
22When the camels had finished drinking, the man took a gold ring weighing a half-shekel, and two bracelets for her wrists weighing ten shekels in gold, 23and he said, “Whose daughter are you? Please tell me, is there room for us to stay overnight at your father’s house?” 24She said to him, “I am the daughter of Bethuel, Milcah’s son, whom she bore to Nahor.” 25Again she said to him, “We have plenty of both straw and feed, and room to stay overnight.” 26Then the man bowed low and worshiped the LORD. 27And he said, “Blessed be the LORD, the God of my master Abraham, who has not abandoned His kindness and His trustworthiness toward my master; as for me, the LORD has guided me in the way to the house of my master’s brothers.”
28Berlarilah gadis itu pergi menceritakan kejadian itu ke rumah ibunya. 29Ribka mempunyai saudara laki-laki, namanya Laban. Laban berlari ke luar mendapatkan orang itu, ke mata air tadi, 30sesudah dilihatnya anting-anting itu dan gelang pada tangan saudaranya, dan sesudah didengarnya perkataan Ribka, saudaranya, yang bunyinya: "Begitulah dikatakan orang itu kepadaku." Ia mendapatkan orang itu, yang masih berdiri di samping unta-untanya di dekat mata air itu, 31dan berkata: "Marilah engkau yang diberkati TUHAN, mengapa engkau berdiri di luar, padahal telah kusediakan rumah bagimu, dan juga tempat untuk unta-untamu." 32Masuklah orang itu ke dalam rumah. Ditanggalkanlah pelana unta-unta, diberikan jerami dan makanan kepada unta-unta itu, lalu dibawa air pembasuh kaki untuk orang itu dan orang-orang yang bersama-sama dengan dia. 33Tetapi ketika dihidangkan makanan di depannya, berkatalah orang itu: "Aku tidak akan makan sebelum kusampaikan pesan yang kubawa ini." Jawab Laban: "Silakan !" 34Lalu berkatalah ia: "Aku ini hamba Abraham. 35TUHAN sangat memberkati tuanku itu, sehingga ia telah menjadi kaya; TUHAN telah memberikan kepadanya kambing domba dan lembu sapi, emas dan perak, budak laki-laki dan perempuan, unta dan keledai. 36Dan Sara, isteri tuanku itu, sesudah tua, telah melahirkan anak laki-laki bagi tuanku itu; kepada anaknya itu telah diberikan tuanku segala harta miliknya. 37Tuanku itu telah mengambil sumpahku: Engkau tidak akan mengambil untuk anakku seorang isteri dari antara perempuan Kanaan, yang negerinya kudiami ini, 38tetapi engkau harus pergi ke rumah ayahku dan kepada kaumku untuk mengambil seorang isteri bagi anakku. 39Jawabku kepada tuanku itu: Mungkin perempuan itu tidak mau mengikut aku. 40Tetapi katanya kepadaku: TUHAN, yang di hadapan-Nya aku hidup, akan mengutus malaikat-Nya menyertai engkau, dan akan membuat perjalananmu berhasil, sehingga engkau akan mengambil bagi anakku seorang isteri dari kaumku dan dari rumah ayahku. 41Barulah engkau lepas dari sumpahmu kepadaku, jika engkau sampai kepada kaumku dan mereka tidak memberikan perempuan itu kepadamu; hanya dalam hal itulah engkau lepas dari sumpahmu kepadaku.
28Then the young woman ran and told her mother’s household about these things. 29Now Rebekah had a brother whose name was Laban; and Laban ran outside to the man at the spring. 30When he saw the ring and the bracelets on his sister’s wrists, and when he heard the words of his sister Rebekah, saying, “This is what the man said to me,” he went to the man; and behold, he was standing by the camels at the spring. 31And he said, “Come in, blessed of the LORD! Why do you stand outside, since I have prepared the house, and a place for the camels?” 32So the man entered the house. Then Laban unloaded the camels, and he gave straw and feed to the camels, and water to wash his feet and the feet of the men who were with him. 33But when food was set before him to eat, he said, “I will not eat until I have stated my business.” And he said, “Speak on.” 34So he said, “I am Abraham’s servant. 35“The LORD has greatly blessed my master, so that he has become rich; and He has given him flocks and herds, and silver and gold, and servants and slave women, and camels and donkeys. 36“Now my master’s wife Sarah bore a son to my master in her old age, and he has given him all that he has. 37“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 live; 38but you shall go to my father’s house and to my relatives, and take a wife for my son.’ 39“Then I said to my master, ‘Suppose the woman does not follow me.’ 40“And he said to me, ‘The LORD, before whom I have walked, will send His angel with you to make your journey successful, and you will take a wife for my son from my relatives and from my father’s house; 41then you will be free from my oath, when you come to my relatives; and if they do not give her to you, you will be free from my oath.’
42Dan hari ini aku sampai ke mata air tadi, lalu kataku: TUHAN, Allah tuanku Abraham, sudilah kiranya Engkau membuat berhasil perjalanan yang kutempuh ini. 43Di sini aku berdiri di dekat mata air ini; kiranya terjadi begini: Apabila seorang gadis datang ke luar untuk menimba air dan aku berkata kepadanya: Tolong berikan aku minum air sedikit dari buyungmu itu, 44dan ia menjawab: Minumlah, dan untuk unta-untamu juga akan kutimba air, -- dialah kiranya isteri, yang telah TUHAN tentukan bagi anak tuanku itu.
42“So I came today to the spring, and said, ‘LORD, God of my master Abraham, if now You will make my journey on which I have been going successful; 43behold, I am standing by the spring, and may it be that the young unmarried woman who comes out to draw water, and to whom I say, “Please let me drink a little water from your jar”; 44and she says to me, “You drink, and I will draw for your camels also”—let her be the woman whom the LORD has appointed for my master’s son.’
45Belum lagi aku habis berkata dalam hatiku, Ribka telah datang membawa buyung di atas bahunya, dan turun ke mata air itu, lalu menimba air. Kataku kepadanya: Tolong berikan aku minum. 46Segeralah ia menurunkan buyung itu dari atas bahunya serta berkata: Minumlah, dan unta-untamu juga akan kuberi minum. Lalu aku minum, dan unta-unta itu juga diberinya minum. 47Sesudah itu aku bertanya kepadanya: Anak siapakah engkau ? Jawabnya: Ayahku Betuel anak Nahor yang dilahirkan Milka. Lalu aku mengenakan anting-anting pada hidungnya dan gelang pada tangannya. 48Kemudian berlututlah aku dan sujud menyembah TUHAN, serta memuji TUHAN, Allah tuanku Abraham, yang telah menuntun aku di jalan yang benar untuk mengambil anak perempuan saudara tuanku ini bagi anaknya. 49Jadi sekarang, apabila kamu mau menunjukkan kasih dan setia kepada tuanku itu, beritahukanlah kepadaku; dan jika tidak, beritahukanlah juga kepadaku, supaya aku tahu entah berpaling ke kanan atau ke kiri."
45“Before I had finished speaking in my heart, behold, Rebekah came out with her jar on her shoulder, and went down to the spring and drew water, and I said to her, ‘Please let me drink.’ 46“She quickly lowered her jar from her shoulder, and said, ‘Drink, and I will water your camels also’; so I drank, and she watered the camels also. 47“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’; and I put the ring on her nose, and the bracelets on her wrists. 48“And I bowed low and worshiped the LORD, and blessed the LORD, the God of my master Abraham, who had guided me in the right way to take the daughter of my master’s brother for his son. 49“So now if you are going to deal kindly and truthfully with my master, tell me; and if not, tell me now, so that I may turn to the right or the left.”
50Lalu Laban dan Betuel menjawab: "Semuanya ini datangnya dari TUHAN; kami tidak dapat mengatakan kepadamu baiknya atau buruknya. 51Lihat, Ribka ada di depanmu, bawalah dia dan pergilah, supaya ia menjadi isteri anak tuanmu, seperti yang difirmankan TUHAN."
50Then Laban and Bethuel replied, “The matter has come from the LORD; so we cannot speak to you bad or good. 51“Here is Rebekah before you, take her and go, and let her be the wife of your master’s son, as the LORD has spoken.”
52Ketika hamba Abraham itu mendengar perkataan mereka, sujudlah ia sampai ke tanah menyembah TUHAN. 53Kemudian hamba itu mengeluarkan perhiasan emas dan perak serta pakaian kebesaran, dan memberikan semua itu kepada Ribka; juga kepada saudaranya dan kepada ibunya diberikannya pemberian yang indah-indah. 54Sesudah itu makan dan minumlah mereka, ia dan orang-orang yang bersama-sama dengan dia, dan mereka bermalam di situ. Paginya sesudah mereka bangun, berkatalah hamba itu: "Lepaslah aku pulang kepada tuanku." 55Tetapi saudara Ribka berkata, serta ibunya juga: "Biarkanlah anak gadis itu tinggal pada kami barang sepuluh hari lagi, kemudian bolehlah engkau pergi." 56Tetapi jawabnya kepada mereka: "Janganlah tahan aku, sedang TUHAN telah membuat perjalananku berhasil; lepaslah aku, supaya aku pulang kepada tuanku." 57Kata mereka: "Baiklah kita panggil anak gadis itu dan menanyakan kepadanya sendiri." 58Lalu mereka memanggil Ribka dan berkata kepadanya: "Maukah engkau pergi beserta orang ini ?" Jawabnya: "Mau." 59Maka Ribka, saudara mereka itu, dan inang pengasuhnya beserta hamba Abraham dan orang-orangnya dibiarkan mereka pergi. 60Dan mereka memberkati Ribka, kata mereka kepadanya: "Saudara kami, moga-moga engkau menjadi beribu-ribu laksa, dan moga-moga keturunanmu menduduki kota-kota musuhnya." 61Lalu berkemaslah Ribka beserta hamba-hambanya perempuan, dan mereka naik unta mengikuti orang itu. Demikianlah hamba itu membawa Ribka lalu berjalan pulang.
52When Abraham’s servant heard their words, he bowed himself to the ground before the LORD. 53And the servant brought out articles of silver and articles of gold, and garments, and gave them to Rebekah; he also gave precious things to her brother and to her mother. 54Then he and the men who were with him ate and drank and spent the night. When they got up in the morning, he said, “Send me away to my master.” 55But her brother and her mother said, “Let the young woman stay with us a few days, say ten; afterward she may go.” 56However, he said to them, “Do not delay me, since the LORD has prospered my way. Send me away so that I may go to my master.” 57And they said, “We will call the young woman and ask her.” 58Then they called Rebekah and said to her, “Will you go with this man?” And she said, “I will go.” 59So they sent away their sister Rebekah and her nurse with Abraham’s servant and his men. 60And they blessed Rebekah and said to her,
“May you, our sister,
Become thousands of ten thousands,
And may your descendants possess
The gate of those who hate them.” 61Then Rebekah got up with her female attendants, and they mounted the camels and followed the man. So the servant took Rebekah and departed.
“May you, our sister,

Isaac Marries Rebekah
62Adapun Ishak telah datang dari arah sumur Lahai-Roi; ia tinggal di Tanah Negeb. 63Menjelang senja Ishak sedang keluar untuk berjalan-jalan di padang. Ia melayangkan pandangnya, maka dilihatnyalah ada unta-unta datang. 64Ribka juga melayangkan pandangnya dan ketika dilihatnya Ishak, turunlah ia dari untanya. 65Katanya kepada hamba itu: "Siapakah laki-laki itu yang berjalan di padang ke arah kita?" Jawab hamba itu: "Dialah tuanku itu." Lalu Ribka mengambil telekungnya dan bertelekunglah ia. 66Kemudian hamba itu menceritakan kepada Ishak segala yang dilakukannya. 67Lalu Ishak membawa Ribka ke dalam kemah Sara, ibunya, dan mengambil dia menjadi isterinya. Ishak mencintainya dan demikian ia dihiburkan setelah ibunya meninggal.
62Now Isaac had come back from a journey to Beer-lahai-roi; for he was living in the Negev. 63Isaac went out to meditate in the field toward evening; and he raised his eyes and looked, and behold, camels were coming. 64Rebekah raised her eyes, and when she saw Isaac, she dismounted from the camel. 65She said to the servant, “Who is that man walking in the field to meet us?” And the servant said, “He is my master.” Then she took her veil and covered herself. 66The servant told Isaac all the things that he had done. 67Then 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.
