5Imtumwa ayo kamghutsa, “Pfii lelo ipinga ayo ang'alema kutsa na nene mna isi ino, nimuyitse mwanagho mna isi yulawile?”
6Abrahamu kamwidika, “Bae!

Lekeni uleke kumuyitsa ako imwanangu.” 9Apfo imtumwa ayo keka ghumoko ghwake hasi mwe hatsa lya Abrahamu, imtwatsa wake, kuya kelaha kutenda aghala ghayamlongele Abrahamu.
10Kuya imtumwa ayo kawasola ngamiya kumi kulawa mna ngamiya we imtwatsa wake na pfinu pfingi pfinoghile kulawa kwa imtwatsa wake, kaghenda mna ghumji ghwayakalile Nohari, ubali wa kuchanya wa Mesopotamiya. 11Hayapfikile, kawafughamisa ngamiya habehi ne chisima ichikalile kunze mwa ghumji. Tsaikala nemihe iwapinga hawoghenda kudegha ghamatsi. 12Kuya kalomba, “Ghwe Imtwatsa, Imulungu wa mtwatsa wangu Abrahamu, unyapfile leloli nimpate ipinga ayo, na umwonele libatsi mtwatsa wangu Abrahamu. 13Lola, nyima habehi na chisima chino, na wali we iwanu wa isi ino wakutsa kudegha ghamatsi. 14Imwali iyanitsomlongela yatule chiha chake yangaye ghamatsi nuwe, naye ang'angaya ghamatsi nene na ngamiya wangu, ayo yawe yuyo yumsaghulile imtumwa wako Isaka. Ing'alawila pfino nitsomanya ka kumwonela libatsi mtwatsa wangu.”
15Ng'ana yamalitse baye kulomba, baho Rebeka tsakapfika ne chiha chake mwitwi. Rebeka tsakakala neghe Betueli, imwana wa Milika ipinga wa Nohari, ndughu yake Abrahamu. 16Mwali ayo tsakanogha ng'ani, na ng'ana yawase baye ne mmale wowose, kahulumka hane chisima, kadegha ghamatsi, kagheluka. 17Imtumwa ayo kamtsumila kamlongela, “Chonde chonde ngaya ghamatsi chidogho nuwe.”

22Ngamiya hawafambule kunwa ghamatsi, imtumwa ayo kamwing'a imwali ayo pete ya nzahabu ya bei ng'ulu na kampfatsa bangili mbili tsa nzahabu mna ghamoko. 23Kuya imtumwa ayo kamghutsa, “Chonde chonde, nongele ghweghwe uli neghe noni? Pfii mng'anda mwa aba wako hana hanu ho ukuwasa twetwe?”
24Rebeka ayo kamwidika, “Nene na neghe Betueli, imwana wa Milika mwehe wa Nohari.” 25Kaghendela kulonga, “Ukaye yetu hana mitsani na ipfijo pfingi, pfipfila hanu ho kuwasa mwemwe habaho.”
26Baho imtumwa yula kenama, kamtamanila IMNDEWA. 27Kalonga, “Yatunyighwe Imulungu, Imulungu wa mtwatsa wangu Abrahamu, iyang'alekile baye kumwonela uluso mtwatsa wangu na kumtendela achila chayamlongele. Na hata nene IMNDEWA kanongotsa mbaka mna lukolo lwa mtwatsa wangu.”

32Apfo imtumwa ayo wa Aburahamu kengila mng'anda. Labani kawadohola ngamiya, kaweng'a chijo, kaweng'a ghamatsi gha kuhopfughila ghamaghulu yeye ne iwanu wake. 33Kuya wamwikila chijo, lekeni yeye kalonga, “Sikuja baye mbaka niwalongele chanibama kulonga.”
Labani kamlongela, “Lelo tulongele.”
34Imunu yula kalonga, “Nene namtumwa wa Abrahamu, 35Imulungu kambaliki ng'ani mtwatsa wangu, kawa munu mkulu, kana mali nyingi. IMNDEWA kamwing'a iwang'olo ne iwamene na fetsa na nzahabu na iwatumwa wamale ne iwapinga na ngamiya na pfihongwe. 36Sara kamwelekela mtwatsa wangu imwana mna ubala wake, naye kamwing'a imwana ayo mali tsake tsose. 37Kuya mtwatsa wangu kanongela nilahe, tsakanongela, ‘Uleke kumkwelela mwanangu ipinga kulawa mna isi ya Wakanaani yanikala nawo. 38Ila ughende ukaye kwa aba wangu, mna lukolo lwangu, ukamkwelele ipinga mwanangu Isaka.’ 39Kuya nimghutsa IMNDEWA wangu, ‘Pfihi yang'alema kutsa na nene?’ 40Lekeni yeye kanyidika, ‘IMNDEWA, iyanimtegheletsa ghamatsuwa ghose katsowatuma malaika wake waghende naghwe, na katsoutenda ghumwanza ghwako ghunoghe. Kuya kutsomkwelela mwanangu ipinga kulawa mkaye mwa aba wangu, mna lukolo lwangu. 41Ung'apfika mna lukolo lwangu, ka ng'awatsokwing'a ipinga baye, chawilahile ng'achitsokupata baye.’
42“Leloli hanipfikile hane chisima tsanilomba, ‘Ghwe Imtwatsa, Imulungu wa mtwatsa wangu Abrahamu, chonde chonde unyapfile, ungaye achila chanitsilile. 43Ulole, nyima ahano habehi na chisima, yang'atsa mwali kudegha ghamatsi nitsomlongela, “Chonde chonde ngaya ghamatsi chidogho mna ichiha chako nuwe,” 44Naye yang'anilongela, “Nuwa, pfipfila nitsowadeghela ghamatsi na ngamiya wako,” imwali ayo yuyo Imulungu iyamsaghulile imwana wa mtwatsa wangu.’ 45Ng'ana nimalitse kulomba mna ghumoyo ghwangu, lola Rebeka katsa na chiha mwitwi mwake. Kahulumka kuchisima kudegha ghamatsi. Nimlongela, ‘Chondechonde ngaya ghamatsi nuwe.’ 46Rebeka katula himahima ichiha chake ichikalile mwitwi mwake, kalonga, ‘Nuwa, pfipfila nitsowanwesa ngamiya wako.’ Apfo nene nuwa, kuya kawanwesa ngamiya wangu. 47Nimghutsa, ‘Nongele ghweghwe uli neghe nani?’ Naye kanyidika, ‘Nene neghe Betueli, imwana wa Nohari na Milika.’ Baho nimpfatsa pete na bangili mna ghamoko ghake. 48Kuya ninama, nimtamanila Imtwatsa. Nimtunya Imulungu, Imulungu wa mtwatsa wangu Abrahamu, iyanilongotse mnzila kughenda kwa lukolo lwa mtwatsa wangu, kumkwelela ipinga imwana wa mtwatsa wangu. 49Lelo mng'amwonela libatsi na kumtendela uluso mtwatsa wangu mnongele, ka si pfipfo baye, mnongele na nene nitsomanya nitendetse.”
50Labani na Betueli wamwidika, “Imbuli ino yolawa kwa IMNDEWA, ng'atudaha baye kulonga chinu chochose. 51Rebeka ayuno ano, umsole mke. Leka yawe ipinga wa imwana wa mtwatsa wako, ka IMNDEWA pfayalongile.” 52Imtumwa wa Abrahamu hayahulike achila chawalongile, kenama kamtamanila Imulungu. 53Kuya imtumwa ayo kalapfa pfinu pfa fetsa na nzahabu na ghamaghwanda kamwing'a Rebeka. Pfipfila kaweng'a pfinu pfa bei ng'ulu lumbu wake Rebeka na mai wake.
54Kuya imtumwa wa Abrahamu na iwanu iwelongotse naye waja chijo na wanwa, na chilo chila wawasa baho. Hawalamke nemitondo, kalonga, “Mndeke mbuye kwa mtwatsa wangu.”
55Lekeni lumbu wake Rebeka na mai wake tsawalonga, “Mleke Rebeka yakale na twetwe ka ghamatsuwa kumi, kuya mwodaha kuka naye.”
56Lekeni yeye kalonga, “Mleke kunikawitsa, mana IMNDEWA kaghutenda ghumwanza ghwangu ghunoghe, mndeke mbuye kwa mtwatsa wangu.”
57Kuya walonga, “Leka tanu tumkeme Rebeka mwenyegho tumghutse.”
58Apfo wamkema Rebeka wamghutsa, “Pfii kwobama kuka na imunu yuno?”
Naye kedika, “Ona, nakuka naye.”

61Kuya, Rebeka na iwatumwa wake mapinga wadina ngamiya, wamuwinza mtumwa wa Abrahamu, woka naye.
