Genesis

24 Abraham okwa li a kulupa neenghono, na Jehova okwa li e mu nangeka noupuna mukeshe shimwe. 2 Abraham okwa lombwela omupiya waye, oo a li omukulunhu meumbo laye, oo a li ta pashukile oinima aishe oyo a li e na, a ti: “Tula eke loye koshi yetundji lange, 3 ndi ku anife kuJehova Kalunga, oo a shita eulu nedu, kutya ito ka kongela omonamati wange omukulukadi moukadona Ovakaanan, medu omu ndi li. 4 Ou na okuya koshilongo shetu nokovapambele vange u ka kongele omonamati wange, Isak, omukulukadi.”

5 Omupiya okwa tya kuAbraham: “Ongahelipi ngeenge omukainhu ina hala okuuya naame kedu eli? Mbela ondi na okutwala omonamati woye koshilongo oko wa dja?” 6 Abraham okwa tya kuye: “Ino hetekela nande u twale ko omonamati wange. 7 Jehova Kalunga, oo a shita eulu, oo a lombwela nge ndi dje mo meumbo latate nomedu lovapambele vange, oo a popya naame nokwa ningila nge eano, a ti: ‘Oludalo loye ohandi ke li pa edu eli,’ ota ka tuma omweengeli e ku wilike noto ka mona ko shili omukulukadi womonamati wange. 8 Ndele ngeenge omukainhu ina hala okuuya naave, oto ka manguluka ko keano eli. Ashike omonamati wange ino mu twala ko.” 9 Opo nee omupiya okwa tula eke laye koshi yetundji lomwene waye, Abraham, ndele ta ane shi na sha noshinima osho.

10 Onghee omupiya okwa kufa eengamelo omulongo domwene waye nokwa ya. Okwa twaalela oinima iwa i lili noku lili, a kufa moinima yomwene waye. Okwa ya kuMesopotamia, koshilando Nahor. 11 Eshi a fika pomufima, oo wa li kondje yoshilando, okwa kanghama, opo eengamelo di fude po. Osha li okomatango, efimbo olo ovakainhu hava ka teka omeva. 12 Omupiya okwa ilikana a ti: “Jehova Kalunga, komwene wange Abraham, kwafele nge ndi pondole mefiku eli; ulikila omwene wange Abraham ohole i na oudiinini. 13 Onda fikama pomufima ou, noukadona ovo va dalwa kovanhu vomoshilando eshi otave uya okuteka omeva. 14 Omukainhu oo handi ka lombwela kutya, ‘Tula oshitoo shoye shomeva ndi nwe mo,’ ndele ta nyamukula ta ti, ‘Nwa mo, ohandi ka xwiila yo eengamelo doye,’ oye na kale wa hoololela omupiya woye Isak; kwafele nge ndi mone kutya owa ulikila omwene wange ohole i na oudiinini.”

15 Ofimbo omupiya ina mana okwiilikana, Rebeka okwa dja mo moshilando noshitoo shaye shomeva shi li kepepe. Rebeka okwa li okamonakadona kaBetuel, na Betuel okwa li omonamati waMilka naNahor, omumwaina waAbraham. 16 Okakadona oko oka li kawa unene; kaka li ka nangala nande onale nomulumenhu. Oka li ka ya momufima noka teka oshitoo shako shomeva, ndele taka di mo. 17 Opo nee omupiya okwa endelela e ke ka shakeneke, ndele ta ti: “Kwafele nge ndi nwe mo kanini moshitoo shoye shomeva.” 18 Oka nyamukula ka ti: “Nwa mo, omwene wange.” Opo nee oka kufa ko oshitoo shako noke shi kwata nomake ako, ndele take mu pe a nwe mo. 19 Eshi ka mana oku mu pa a nwe, oka tya kuye: “Ohandi ka xwiila yo eengamelo doye, fiyo osheshi da kumwa.” 20 Oka tila divadiva oshitoo shako shomeva metemba lokunwina oimuna noka kala taka teke omeva momufima lwoikando, noka nwefa eengamelo daye adishe. 21 Omupiya oo okwa kala efimbo a mwena te ka tale a kumwa, te lipula ngeenge Jehova okwa nangeka noupuna olweendo laye, ile hasho.

22 Eshi eengamelo da mana okunwa, omupiya oo okwe ka pa olinga yoshingoli yomeyulu, yondjudo i fike petata losekeli* nosho yo oivela ivali yokoikesho yoshingoli yondjudo i fike peesekeli* omulongo, 23 ndele ta ti: “Alikana lombwele nge, ove okamonakadona kalyelye? Keumbo laxo oku na onhele tu ka nangale ko?” 24 Oka tya kuye: “Ame okamonakadona kaBetuel, omonamati waMilka naNahor.” 25 Oka weda ko ka ti: “Otu na omwiidi noikulya imwe vali yeengamelo nosho yo onhele yokunangala.” 26 Opo nee omupiya oo okwa twa eengolo nokwe linyongamena kuJehova, 27 ndele ta ti: “Jehova na tangwe, Kalunga komwene wange Abraham, eshi ina efa okuulikila omwene wange ohole i na oudiinini naashi a kala omulineekelwa komwene wange. Jehova okwa wilika nge ndi ye keumbo lovamwaina vomwene wange.”

28 Okakadona oka ya divadiva ka ka lombwele ovo hava di meumbo laina kombinga yoinima oyo. 29 Rebeka okwa li e na omumwaina omulumenhu wedina Laban. Laban okwa li a ya diva komulumenhu oo a li komufima. 30 Eshi Laban a mona omumwaina Rebeka e na olinga meyulu noivela poikesho nosho yo eshi a uda osho a popya, eshi a ti, “Omulumenhu oo osho a popya naame ngaho,” okwa ya a ka shakeneke omulumenhu oo a li natango a fikama pomufima neengamelo. 31 Laban okwa tya: “Ila, ove ou wa nangekwa noupuna kuJehova. Omolwashike wa kala wa fikama apa? Onde ku longekidila onhele nosho yo eengamelo doye.” 32 Opo nee omupiya oo okwe uya meumbo. Okwa* mangulula eengamelo, ndele te di pe omwiidi noikulya imwe vali, nokwa pa omupiya oo omeva e likoshe keemhadi nosho yo ovo va li pamwe naye. 33 Ashike eshi omupiya oo a pewa oikulya, okwa tya: “Itandi li ofimbo inandi popya osho sha endifa nge.” Laban okwa ti: “Popya.”

34 Omulumenhu oo okwa tya: “Ame omupiya waAbraham. 35 Jehova okwa nangeka noupuna Abraham noinima ihapu, nokwe mu ninga oshipuna, eshi e mu pa eedi neengobe, oisilveri noingoli, ovapiya ovalumenhu novakainhu nosho yo eengamelo neendongi. 36 Sara, omukulukadi womwene wange, okwa dalela omwene wange omonamati moukulupe waye, nomwene wange ota ka pa omonamati waye keshe osho e na. 37 Omwene wange okwa anifa nge, a ti: ‘Ino kongela omonamati wange omukulukadi moukadona Ovakaanan, medu omu ndi li. 38 Ou na okuya koshilongo shootate nosho yo shovapambele vange, u ka kongele omonamati wange omukulukadi.’ 39 Ndele ame onda tya komwene wange: ‘Ongahelipi ngeenge omukainhu ina hala okuuya naame?’ 40 Omwene wange okwa lombwela nge, a ti: ‘Jehova oo handi longele, ota ka tuma omweengeli e ku wilike note ke ku kwafela u pondole molweendo loye. Ou na okukongela omonamati wange omukulukadi movapambele vange nomeumbo latate. 41 Oto ka manguluka ko keano olo wa ningila nge, ngeenge owa i kovapambele vange, ndele inave ku pa omukainhu. Osho osho ashike tashi ke ku mangulula ko keano loye.’

42 “Eshi nde uya komufima nena, onda ilikana nda ti: ‘Jehova Kalunga, komwene wange Abraham, nangeka noupuna olweendo lange, 43 ame ou nda fikama pomufima. Ngeenge okakadona oke uya okuteka, ohandi ke ka lombwela handi ti: “Kwafele nge ndi nwe mo kanini moshitoo shoye shomeva,” 44 nongeenge oka lombwele nge taka ti: “Nwa mo, nohandi ka xwiila yo eengamelo doye,” Jehova oko na kale a hoololela omonamati womwene wange.’

45 “Ofimbo inandi mana okwiilikana momutima wange, Rebeka okwa dja moshilando noshitoo shaye shomeva shi li kepepe, nokwa ya momufima, ndele ta teke omeva. Opo nee onda tya kuye: ‘Kwafele nge ndi nwe mo.’ 46 Okwa kufa ko oshitoo kepepe, ndele ta ti: ‘Nwa mo, nohandi ka xwiila yo eengamelo doye.’ Opo nee onda nwa, nokwa xwiila yo eengamelo dange. 47 Konima yaasho, onde mu pula kutya, ‘Ove omonakadona walyelye?’ nokwa nyamukula kutya, ‘Ame omonakadona waBetuel, omonamati waMilka naNahor.’ Onghee onde mu dika olinga yoshingoli meyulu noivela ivali koikesho yaye. 48 Opo nee onda twa eengolo nokulinyongamena kuJehova, ndele handi tange Jehova Kalunga, komwene wange Abraham, oo a tula nge mondjila ya yuka ndi ka kongele omonamati womwene wange okakadona meumbo lomumwaina womwene wange. 49 Lombwele nge paife, ngeenge owa hala okuulikila omwene wange ohole i na oudiinini nowa hala okukala omudiinini kuye. Ngeenge hasho, lombwele nge, opo ndi dule okuya kumwe kulili.”*

50 Laban naBetuel ova nyamukula va ti: “Molwaashi oshinima osho osha dja kuJehova, fye itatu dulu oku ku nyamukula kutya eewa, ile ahawe.* 51 Rebeka oye oo. Mu kufa po, ndele tamu i naye, na ninge omukulukadi womonamati womwene woye, ngaashi Jehova a popya.” 52 Eshi omupiya waAbraham a uda eendjovo davo, okwa twa eengolo, ndele te linyongamene kuJehova. 53 Omupiya okwa hovela okukufa mo oinima ya longwa moshisilveri nomoshingoli noikutu, ndele te i pe Rebeka, nokwa pa Laban naina yaRebeka oinima yondilo. 54 Konima yaasho, ye novalumenhu, ovo a enda pamwe navo, ova lya nokunwa, nova kala meumbo olo oufiku oo.

Eshi omupiya a penduka ongula, okwa tya: “Lekelei nge ndi ye komwene wange.” 55 Opo nee mumwaina waRebeka nosho yo ina, ova tya: “Efa okakadona ka kale po nande omafiku omulongo, opo ke uye nawa.” 56 Omupiya okwa tya: “Inamu kelela nge, molwaashi Jehova okwa nangeka noupuna olweendo lange. Lekelei nge, opo ndi dule okushuna komwene wange.” 57 Ova ti: “Natu ifaneni okakadona tu ka puleni.” 58 Opo nee ova ifana Rebeka, ndele tave mu pula, tava ti: “Oto i nomulumenhu ou?” Okwa nyamukula a ti: “Heeno, onda hala okuya.”

59 Onghee ova lekela mumwaina Rebeka nomutekuli waye* nosho yo omupiya waAbraham novalumenhu ovo a li pamwe navo. 60 Ova nangeka noupuna Rebeka, ndele tava ti kuye: “Omumwameme, oludalo loye nali hapupale li ninge omayovi lwomayovi omulongo,* lo nali ka fyuulule po oilando* yovatondi valo.” 61 Rebeka novayakuli vaye ovakainhu ova fikama nova londa keengamelo, ndele tava shikula omupiya. Omupiya oo okwa kufa Rebeka, ndele ta shuna.

62 Isak okwa li ta ende mondjila yaBeer-lahai-roi, molwaashi okwa li ha di medu laNegeb. 63 Eshi kwa li taku wiwile, Isak okwa li a ya mepya a ka dilonge. Opo nee okwa yelula omesho, nokwa mona eengamelo tadi di komesho yaye. 64 Eshi Rebeka a yelula omesho, okwa mona Isak, ndele ta londoloka ko divadiva kongamelo. 65 Rebeka okwa pula omupiya, a ti: “Omulumenhu oo ta ende mepya te uya oku tu shakeneka olyelye?” Omupiya okwa nyamukula, a ti: “Omwene wange.” Rebeka okwa kufa oshikaiwa, ndele te liuvike. 66 Omupiya oo okwa lombwela Isak ashishe osho a ninga. 67 Konima yaasho, Isak okwa twala Rebeka metwali laina, Sara. Isak okwa li a kufa Rebeka a ninge omukulukadi waye; okwa li e mu hole nokwa li a hekelekwa omolwefyo laina.
