24Genesis 24

1亞伯拉罕壽高年邁、耶和華於凡事錫之嘏、Select Genesis 24:1

2亞伯拉罕語其家宰、卽司全業之老僕曰、爾其置手於我髀下、Select Genesis 24:2

3指天地之上帝耶和華而誓、我居迦南人中、勿娶其女、爲我子婦、Select Genesis 24:3

4必返故土、在戚族中、爲我子以撒娶焉、Select Genesis 24:4

5僕曰、假令其女不欲從我來此、我以爾子仍歸故鄉可乎、Select Genesis 24:5

6亞伯拉罕曰、愼勿使我子歸故鄉、Select Genesis 24:6

7天上上帝耶和華、昔導我出父家、離故土、誓以斯地錫我苗裔、必遣厥使導爾、使爲我子娶於故土、Select Genesis 24:7

8設女不欲從爾、則此誓與爾無與、惟不可挈我子返於故鄉、Select Genesis 24:8

9僕遂置手於其主亞伯拉罕髀下、如命而誓、○Select Genesis 24:9

10於是僕自其主之駝中取十、並攜主家之佳品、起而往米所波大米、詣拿鶴所居之邑、Select Genesis 24:10

11日暮、衆女出汲時、僕使駝伏於邑外井旁、Select Genesis 24:11

12曰、吾主亞伯拉罕之上帝耶和華歟、祈施恩於我主亞伯拉罕、使我今日所遇順適、Select Genesis 24:12

13我立井旁、邑人之女、出以汲水、Select Genesis 24:13

14我將謂一女曰、請爾下缾飲我、彼若云請飲、亦飲爾駝、則願其女爲爾所定、與爾僕以撒爲妻、由此可知爾施恩於我主、Select Genesis 24:14

15言未旣、利百加肩負缾出、彼乃亞伯拉罕弟拿鶴、與妻密迦之子彼土利所生者、Select Genesis 24:15

16女容甚麗、尚爲處子、未曾適人、臨井汲水、盈缾而上、Select Genesis 24:16

17僕趨迎之、曰、請以缾水、飲我少許、Select Genesis 24:17

18曰、吾主、請飲、乃急下缾以飲之、Select Genesis 24:18

19飲畢、又曰、我更汲水、以飲爾駝、迨足其量、Select Genesis 24:19

20遂急傾缾於槽、復趨井而汲、以飲羣駝、Select Genesis 24:20

21僕目之、默然弗語、欲知耶和華果賜坦途否、Select Genesis 24:21

22俟駝飲竟、乃取金環、重半舍客勒、金釧二、重十舍客勒、Select Genesis 24:22

23謂之曰、汝誰氏女、請告我、汝父之家、有隙地以寓我乎、Select Genesis 24:23

24曰、我乃拿鶴與密迦子彼土利之女、Select Genesis 24:24

25又曰、我家芻糧具足、亦有隙地、可以容宿、Select Genesis 24:25

26僕遂俯首、崇拜耶和華、Select Genesis 24:26

27曰、吾主亞伯拉罕之上帝耶和華、宜頌美焉、彼於我主、不絕其仁與誠、且於途中導我、至吾主昆弟之家、○Select Genesis 24:27

28女趨告其母家、Select Genesis 24:28

29利百加有兄名拉班、見環與手釧、聞妹利百加述僕所言、則趨外而迎之、Select Genesis 24:29

30時、僕尚立井旁、駝亦在側、Select Genesis 24:30

31語之曰、爾蒙耶和華錫嘏者、請入、奚竚於外、我已備室、駝亦有所、Select Genesis 24:31

32僕遂入室、拉班釋駝之負、給以芻糧、取水與僕及從者濯足、Select Genesis 24:32

33陳食其前以食之、僕曰、吾事未述、不敢先食、曰、請述之、Select Genesis 24:33

34曰、我乃亞伯拉罕僕、Select Genesis 24:34

35耶和華錫嘏吾主甚厚、使之昌大、賜以金銀僕婢、牛羊駝驢、Select Genesis 24:35

36主母撒拉、老而生子、我主所有、悉予斯男、Select Genesis 24:36

37吾主令我誓曰、余居迦南、勿娶其女、爲我子婦、Select Genesis 24:37

38必詣父家戚屬、爲子娶室、Select Genesis 24:38

39我謂主曰、恐女不從我、Select Genesis 24:39

40主曰、我所事之耶和華、將遣厥使偕爾、賜爾坦途、可於父家戚屬中、爲子娶室、Select Genesis 24:40

41設或造我戚屬、而彼不與、則此誓與爾無與、Select Genesis 24:41

42今日我至井旁、禱曰、吾主亞伯拉罕之上帝耶和華、如果賜我坦途、Select Genesis 24:42

43茲立井旁、有女出汲、我謂之曰、請以缾水、飲我少許、Select Genesis 24:43

44若言且飲、亦爲駝汲、則願其女爲耶和華所定、以與吾主之子、Select Genesis 24:44

45默祝未竟、而利百加出、負缾於肩、臨井以汲、我謂之曰、請予我飲、Select Genesis 24:45

46女卽下缾、曰、且飲、吾亦飲駝、我遂飲、女亦飲駝、Select Genesis 24:46

47我問曰、汝誰氏女、曰、我乃拿鶴與密迦子彼土利之女也、我遂置環於其鼻、著釧於其手、Select Genesis 24:47

48俯首崇拜、頌美吾主亞伯拉罕之上帝耶和華、導我以正途、使取主弟之孫、爲主子之室、Select Genesis 24:48

49爾若待我主以仁誠、則告我、否亦告我、使我知所左右、○Select Genesis 24:49

50拉班與彼土利曰、斯事由於耶和華、我儕不能與汝言其是非、Select Genesis 24:50

51利百加在爾前、可攜之歸、與主之子爲室、遵耶和華命、Select Genesis 24:51

52亞伯拉罕之僕聞言、俯伏於地、崇拜耶和華、Select Genesis 24:52

53出金銀器皿與衣、饋利百加、又以寶物饋其兄、及其母、Select Genesis 24:53

54僕與從者飲食而宿、夙興、曰、願遣歸我主、Select Genesis 24:54

55利百加兄與其母曰、容女少留、偕我居處、歷至旬日、然後啟行、Select Genesis 24:55

56曰、勿阻我、耶和華賜我坦途、請遣歸我主、Select Genesis 24:56

57曰、可呼女而問之、Select Genesis 24:57

58乃呼利百加曰、爾願與此人偕行乎、曰、願之、Select Genesis 24:58

59遂遣利百加與其媼、同亞伯拉罕僕、曁從者而去、Select Genesis 24:59

60祝利百加曰、願妹爲億兆之母、爾裔獲仇敵之邑、○Select Genesis 24:60

61利百加起、與婢乘駝從僕、僕攜之歸、Select Genesis 24:61

62時、以撒居南方、適自庇耳拉海萊來、Select Genesis 24:62

63暮出於田、默然靜思、舉目見羣駝至、Select Genesis 24:63

64利百加望見以撒、乃下駝、Select Genesis 24:64

65問僕曰、遊於田而迓我者爲誰、曰、我主也、利百加遂取帕自蒙、Select Genesis 24:65

66僕以所爲悉告以撒、Select Genesis 24:66

67以撒導利百加入母撒拉之幕、娶以爲室、且愛慕之、自母沒後、至此始獲慰藉、Select Genesis 24:67
