Yahweh, the God of heaven—who took me from my father’s house, and from the land of my birth, who spoke to me, and who swore to me, saying, ‘I will give this land to your offspring—he will send his angel before you, and you shall take a wife for my son from there.
耶和華-天上的主曾帶領我離開父家和本族的地,對我說話,向我起誓說:『我要將這地賜給你的後裔。』他必差遣使者在你面前,你就可以從那裏為我兒子娶一個妻子。

Let it happen, that the young lady to whom I will say, ‘Please let down your pitcher, that I may drink,’ then she says, ‘Drink, and I will also give your camels a drink,’—let her be the one you have appointed for your servant Isaac. By this I will know that you have shown kindness to my master.”
我向那一個女子說:『請你拿下水瓶來,給我水喝。』她若說:『請喝!我也給你的駱駝喝。』願那女子就作你所預定給你僕人以撒的妻。這樣,我便知道你施恩給我主人了。」
24:15
Necdum intra se verba compleverat, et ecce Rebecca egrediebatur, filia Bathuel, filii Melchae uxoris Nachor fratris Abraham, habens hydriam in scapula sua :
Before he had finished speaking, behold, Rebekah came out, who was born to Bethuel the son of Milcah, the wife of Nahor, Abraham’s brother, with her pitcher on her shoulder.
話還沒有說完,不料,利百加肩頭上扛着水瓶出來。利百加是彼土利所生的;彼土利是亞伯拉罕兄弟拿鶴妻子密迦的兒子。

puella decora nimis, virgoque pulcherrima, et incognita viro : descenderat autem ad fontem, et impleverat hydriam, ac revertebatur.
The young lady was very beautiful to look at, a virgin. No man had known her. She went down to the spring, filled her pitcher, and came up.

The man looked steadfastly at her, remaining silent, to know whether Yahweh had made his journey prosperous or not.
那人定睛看她,一句話也不說,要曉得耶和華賜他通達的道路沒有。
24:22
Postquam autem biberunt cameli, protulit vir inaures aureas, appendentes siclos duos, et armillas totidem pondo siclorum decem.
As the camels had finished drinking, the man took a golden ring of half a shekel weight, and two bracelets for her hands of ten shekels weight of gold,
駱駝喝足了,那人就拿一個金環,重半舍客勒,兩個金鐲,重十舍客勒,給了那女子,

24:30
Cumque vidisset inaures et armillas in manibus sororis suae, et audisset cuncta verba referentis : Haec locutus est mihi homo : venit ad virum qui stabat juxta camelos, et prope fontem aquae :

Dumque haec tacitus mecum volverem, apparuit Rebecca veniens cum hydria, quam portabat in scapula : descenditque ad fontem, et hausit aquam. Et aio ad eam : Da mihi paululum bibere.
Before I had finished speaking in my heart, behold, Rebekah came out with her pitcher on her shoulder. She went down to the spring, and drew. I said to her, ‘Please let me drink.’

她就急忙從肩頭上拿下瓶來,說:『請喝!我也給你的駱駝喝。』我便喝了;她又給我的駱駝喝了。
24:47
Interrogavique eam, et dixi : Cujus es filia ? Quae respondit : Filia Bathuelis sum, filii Nachor, quem peperit ei Melcha. Suspendi itaque inaures ad ornandam faciem ejus, et armillas posui in manibus ejus.
I asked her, and said, ‘Whose daughter are you?’ She said, ‘The daughter of Bethuel, Nahor’s son, whom Milcah bore to him.’ I put the ring on her nose, and the bracelets on her hands.

24:50
Responderuntque Laban et Bathuel : A Domino egressus est sermo : non possumus extra placitum ejus quidquam aliud loqui tecum.
Then Laban and Bethuel answered, “The thing proceeds from Yahweh. We can’t speak to you bad or good.
拉班和彼土利回答說:「這事乃出於耶和華,我們不能向你說好說歹。
24:51
En Rebecca coram te est, tolle eam, et proficiscere, et sit uxor filii domini tui, sicut locutus est Dominus.
Behold, Rebekah is before you. Take her, and go, and let her be your master’s son’s wife, as Yahweh has spoken.”
看哪,利百加在你面前,可以將她帶去,照着耶和華所說的,給你主人的兒子為妻。」
24:52
Quod cum audisset puer Abraham, procidens adoravit in terram Dominum.
When Abraham’s servant heard their words, he bowed himself down to the earth to Yahweh.
亞伯拉罕的僕人聽見他們這話,就向耶和華俯伏在地。

They ate and drank, he and the men who were with him, and stayed all night. They rose up in the morning, and he said, “Send me away to my master.”
僕人和跟從他的人吃了喝了,住了一夜。早晨起來,僕人就說:「請打發我回我主人那裏去吧。」
24:55
Responderuntque fratres ejus et mater : Maneat puella saltem decem dies apud nos, et postea proficiscetur.
Her brother and her mother said, “Let the young lady stay with us a few days, at least ten. After that she will go.”
利百加的哥哥和她母親說:「讓女子同我們再住幾天,至少十天,然後她可以去。」
24:56
Nolite, ait, me retinere, quia Dominus direxit viam meam : dimittite me ut pergam ad dominum meum.
He said to them, “Don’t hinder me, since Yahweh has prospered my way. Send me away that I may go to my master.”
僕人說:「耶和華既賜給我通達的道路,你們不要耽誤我,請打發我走,回我主人那裏去吧。」
24:57
Et dixerunt : Vocemus puellam, et quaeramus ipsius voluntatem.
They said, “We will call the young lady, and ask her.”
他們說:「我們把女子叫來問問她」,
24:58
Cumque vocata venisset, sciscitati sunt : Vis ire cum homine isto ? Quae ait : Vadam.
They called Rebekah, and said to her, “Will you go with this man?” She said, “I will go.”

They sent away Rebekah, their sister, with her nurse, Abraham’s servant, and his men.
於是他們打發妹子利百加和她的乳母,同亞伯拉罕的僕人,並跟從僕人的,都走了。

imprecantes prospera sorori suae, atque dicentes : Soror nostra es, crescas in mille millia, et possideat semen tuum portas inimicorum suorum.
They blessed Rebekah, and said to her, “Our sister, may you be the mother of thousands of ten thousands, and let your offspring possess the gate of those who hate them.”
他們就給利百加祝福說: 我們的妹子啊,願你作千萬人的母! 願你的後裔得着仇敵的城門!
24:61
Igitur Rebecca et puellae illius, ascensis camelis, secutae sunt virum : qui festinus revertebatur ad dominum suum.
Rebekah arose with her ladies. They rode on the camels, and followed the man. The servant took Rebekah, and went his way.
利百加和她的使女們起來,騎上駱駝,跟着那僕人,僕人就帶着利百加走了。
24:62
Eo autem tempore deambulabat Isaac per viam quae ducit ad puteum, cujus nomen est Viventis et videntis : habitabat enim in terra australi :
Isaac came from the way of Beer Lahai Roi, for he lived in the land of the South.
那時,以撒住在南地,剛從庇耳‧拉海‧萊回來。
24:63
et egressus fuerat ad meditandum in agro, inclinata jam die : cumque elevasset oculos, vidit camelos venientes procul.
Isaac went out to meditate in the field at the evening. He lifted up his eyes and looked. Behold, there were camels coming.

24:64
Rebecca quoque, conspecto Isaac, descendit de camelo,
Rebekah lifted up her eyes, and when she saw Isaac, she got off the camel.
利百加舉目看見以撒,就急忙下了駱駝,
24:65
et ait ad puerum : Quis est ille homo qui venit per agrum in occursum nobis ? Dixitque ei : Ipse est dominus meus. At illa tollens cito pallium, operuit se.
She said to the servant, “Who is the man who is walking in the field to meet us?” The servant said, “It is my master.” She took her veil, and covered herself.
問那僕人說:「這田間走來迎接我們的是誰?」僕人說:「是我的主人。」利百加就拿帕子蒙上臉。
24:66
Servus autem cuncta, quae gesserat, narravit Isaac.
The servant told Isaac all the things that he had done.
僕人就將所辦的一切事都告訴以撒。
24:67
Qui introduxit eam in tabernaculum Sarae matris suae, et accepit eam uxorem : et in tantum dilexit eam, ut dolorem, qui ex morte matris ejus acciderat, temperaret.
Isaac brought her into his mother Sarah’s tent, and took Rebekah, and she became his wife. He loved her. So Isaac was comforted after his mother’s death.
以撒便領利百加進了他母親撒拉的帳棚,娶了她為妻,並且愛她。以撒自從他母親不在了,這才得了安慰。
