OMURHONDERO XXIV

1  Abrahamu ali akola mushosi wa myaka minji, Nyamubâho ali erhi amuhîre omugisho muli ngasi kantu. 2 Abrahamu abwira omwambali, mugula wage omu bambali, ye wanakazag’ilanga ebyage byoshi, erhi: «Ohebe okuboko kwawe idako ly’olurhungu Iwani, 3 nakulahiriza oku îzino lya Nyamubâho Nyamuzinda w’empingu n’igulu, oku orhalongeze mugala wani omukazi omu banyere b’Anya-Kanani nyubasire ekarhî kabo. 4 Ci kwonene, yo waja emwirhu, omu mulala gwirhu, mwo wacîshoga omukazi washebera mugala wani Izaki.» 5 Omwambali anacimubwira, erhi: «Haligi amango nyamukazi ankalahira mpu arhankulikire mwo cino cihugo, k’ago mango nanagalula mugala wawe emunda warhengaga?» 6 Abrahamu amushuza, erhi: «Nanga, orhahîraga okashubiza mugala wani eyo munda. 7 Nyamubâho, Nyamuzinda w’empingu, Nyamuzinda w’igulu yenene wantenzagya omu nyumpa ya larha, n’omu cihugo ca bene wirhu, yene ye wanshambâzagya anandaganya n’endahiro oku eci cihugo aciha iburha lyani. Yene arhuma malahika wage embere zawe, lyo abonera mugala wani omukazi eyo munda. 8 Akaba oyo mukazi arhalonzizi okukushimba, orhacife n’ecihango, ci orhahîraga okashubiza mugala wani eyo munda». 9 Oku bundi omwambali ahira okuboko oku cibero ca nnawabo Abrahamu, anacigashira olwo lubanja.

 10 Nyamushizi anacirhôla ngamiya ikumi omu ngamiya za nnawabo, anagendana n’oku ngasi hinja nnawabo ali agwerhe, anacirikûla aja entambiz’e Aram-Naharayimu omu lugo Iwa Nayoro. 11 Engamiya zage azifukamya emuhanda gw’olugo, hofi n’iriba, càjingwè, gala mango abakazi banahuluka mpu bagend’idôma amishi. 12 Anaciderha, erhi: «Nyakasane, Nyamuzinda wa nna-wirhu Abrahamu, ongashânire ene, onayerekane oku kurhonya orhonya mwambali wawe Abrahamu. 13Niono nyimanzire hano iriba, na bali b’abantu ba mw’olu lugo, bakola bayish’idôma amishi. 14 Omwananyere nakabwira, nti: «Hengeka akabindi kawe ompe nani nywe, akananshuza, erhi: Neci, nywaga onaleke nywese n’engamiya zawe, erhi ye mukazi wali obikîre mwambali wawe Izaki, co cimanyiso namanyirakwo oku orhonyize nnawirhu.» 
15 Oku arhaciyusa aderba, Rebeka, mwali wa Batweli, mwene Milka, muka Nahori, mulumuna wa Abrahamu ayisha n’akabindi oku cirhugo. 16 Oyo munyere ali mwinjinja, mwananyere mushugi, nta mulume walisag’imuyegêra, abungulukira aha iriba abumba akabindi kage anarherema. 17 Olya mushizi akanya aj’imurhangîra, amubwira, erhi: «Mâshi, oleke nywe rhwishi rhutya kw’ago gali omu kabindi kawe.» 18 Olya munyere anacishuza, erhi: «Nywaga, Yagirwa». Anaciyandagaliza dubaduba akabindi omu nfune mpu amunywese.

 19 Erhi ayus’imunywesa, anaciderha, erhi: «Nkola naj’idômera n’engamiya zawe, kuhika zihâge».  20 Anacidubulira galya mishi duba duba omu ciranga ashubirira aha iriba mpu adòme , anadômera engamiya zoshi. 21 Olya mulume oku ahuluka, akaz’imusinza, erhi anadwirbe acidôsa erhi nanga erhi neci Nyamubâho amuhisize.

 22 Erhi engamiya ziyus’inywa, olya mulume arhôla ehigondo hy’amasholo 
hya buzirho bwaluhande luguma Iw’esikeli, amuyambisahyo, anacirhôla na rhulinga rhubirhi rhwa masholo rhwa buzirho bwa sikeli ikumi amuyambisa rhwo ekuboko. 23 Anacimubwira, erhi: «Oli mwali wa ndi? K’aha mwinyu, sho ankabona aha abantu bahanda?»  Ashuza, erhi: «Ndi mwali wa Batweli, mugala wa Milka mwene Nahori.» 24 Ashub’iderha, erhi: «Neci aha mwirhu bali ebyasi birhali binyi, hanaboneka n’ecirâlo.» 26 Oku bundi olya mulume afukama aharamya Nyamubâho , 27 aderba, erhi: «Oyagirwe Nyakasane, Nyamuzinda wa nnawirhu Abrahamu, ôrharhinyirire okurhonya n’okulumehera nnahamwirhu. Nyamubâho yene oyula onnongolîne kuhika aha mwa mwene wabo nnahamwirhu.»  28 Olya mwananyere alibirha aj’ibwira nnina ebyabire.

 29 Rebeka âli agwerhe mushinja wabo, izîno lyage ye Labani, Labani anacilibirhira embuga emunda olya mulume ali, ebw’iriba. 30 Erhi aba amabona ehigondo n’orhulinga mwali wabo ali ayambirhe, n’erhi aba amayumva mwali wabo Rebeka aderba, erhi: «Kw’oyo mulume ambwizire ntyo», ago mango alibirhira emunda nyamulume ali, amushimana aciyimanzire aha burhambi bw’engamiya ah’iriba. 31 Anacimubwira, erhi: «Yisha mugishwa wa Nyamubâho! Cici cirhumire obera embuga n’obwo narheganyize enyumpa n’ahantu engamiya zawe zabêra?». 32 Olya mulume akanya aj’ekà, Labani ashwekûla emizigo y’engamiya, anaziha ebyasi, analerha amishi mpu oyo mulume boshi h’ababo bashukemwo amagulu.

 33 Bamulerhera ebiryo mpu alye. Ci kwone ashuza, erhi: «Ntalya ntanaciderha akanwa kandwirhe.» Labani ashuza, erhi; «Derhaga!» 34 Naye, erhi: «Niono ndi mwambali wa Abrahamu. 35 Nyamuzinda agishire nnawirhu; akola àbà mugale, àmuhîre ebintu bishwekwa, ebinyinyi n’ebinenene, enfaranga n’amasholo, abambali n’abambalikazi, engamiya n’endogomi.

36 Sara, muka nnawirhu, Abrahamu, omu bugikulu bwage, amuburhira omwanarhabana, n’oyo mwanarhabana ye afumbisire ebyage byoshi. 37 Nnawirhu andahirize, erhi: «Irhondo orhahiraga okarhôlera mugala wani omukazi omu banyere ba-nya-Kanani, muli cino cihugo rhuyubasiremwo. 38 Akaba orhajiri omu nyumpa ya larha, omu bûko bwirhu okugend’ilogezamwo omukazi waha mugala wani, erhi wamanahera!»  39 Nabwizire nnawirhu, nti: «Hall amango oyo mukazi ankalahira bwankulikira». 40 Naye anshuza, erhi: «Nyamuzinda nyorha ngenda embere zage, akurhumira malahika wage akuluse akuhisakwo ehi walonza, ly’obonera mugala wani omukazi w’omu bûko bwirhu n’omu nyumpa ya larha.

 41 Wafuma ecihango erhi wankahika omu bûko bwirhu, bakanakuyima omukazi, ecihango cirhacikuyirhe. 43 Ene mpika aha iriba naderha, nti: Nyamubâho Nyamuzinda wa nnawirhu, wekasinga, oyerekane, akaba olonzize okuhisa eyi njira ndimo kw’ehi nshimbire. 43 Niono ndi hano iriba, omunyere wayish’al’idôma, nani nkamubwira, nti: Nkuhûnyire ompe nani rhwishi rhusungunu rhw’omu kabindi kawe, 44 akanashuza, erhi: wene onywage, nagend’idômera n’engamiya zawe, erhi ye mukazi Nyamubâho abîkire mwene nnawirhu. 45 Ntali nciyusa naderha ebyo binwa omu murhima gwani, ene Rebeka ayisha n’akabindi kage oku cirhugo. Abungulukira ebw’iriba, anadôma. Namubwira nti mpa nani nywe, wekasinga. 46 Ho na halya, akûla akabindi kage oku cirhugo, aderba, erhi: «Nywaga nagend’idômera n’engamiya zawe.» Nanywire, agal’inywesa n’engamiya zani. 47 Namudôsize, nti: Oli mwali wa ndi? Naye anshuza, erhi: «Ndi mwali wa Batweli, mulume Milka aburhiraga Nahori.» Oku bundi namuyambisa ehi higondo oku izûlu n’orhu rhulinga aha maboko.

48 Aho, nafukamiriza naharamya Nyamubâho, Nyamuzinda wa nnanwirhu Abrahamu, ye wali annongolîne omu njira nyinja mpu ntôlere omugala mwali wa muci wa nnahamwirhu. 49 Bunola akaba mulonzize okuyereka nnahamwirhu oku mumusîmire munamurhonyize, mumbwire n’akaba nanga kandi mumbwire, lyo nyerekera ebwa kulyo erhi ebwa kumosho». 
50 Labani bo na Batweli bashuza baderha, mpu: «Okûla emwa Nyamuzinda kurhenzire, rhurhankahash’ikushuza nti neci erhi nanga. 51 Rebeka oyo embere zawe: rhôla ye omuhêke , aj’iba muka mwene nnawinyu nk’oku Nyamubâho anadesire.» 52 Erhi mwambali w’Abrahamu ayumva ebyo binwa, aharamya embere za Nyamubâho. 53 Ayômola ebisikiyo by’ecûma n’eby’amasholo, ayomola n’emishangi, aha Rebeka. Aha na mushinja wabo boshi na nnina ebindi bikulo.

54 Oku bundi bàlya bànanywa bo n’ababo bàli boshi, banalâla halya. Sêzi erhi babà bamazûka, aderba, erhi: «Mundîke nshubire emwa nnawirhu.» 55 Mushinja wa Rebeka na nnina baderha, mpu: «Oyu munyere arhang’ibêra hano zindi nsiku nk’ibirhi erhi ikumi n’enyuma z’aho anagenda.» 56 Abashuza, erhi: «Murhacindegerezagya n’obwo Nyamubâho ampisizekwo ehi nalonzagya. Muleke ngende, nshubire emwa nnawirhu.» 57 Banaciderba, mpu: «Rhuhamagalage namunyere rhumudòse naye kurhi adesire». 58 Banacihamagala Rebeka bamudôsa, mpu: «K’olonzize okugenda mweshi n’oyu mulume?» Naye anacishuza, erhi: «Neci, nnonzize ngende.» 59 Okubundi, bahka omunyere wabo Rebeka mpu agende bo n’omulezi wage n’oyo mwambali w’Abrahamu na balya balume âli boshi. 60 Banacihà Rebeka obwanga, mpu: «Woyo mwali wirhu oyololoke ohinduke bihumbi n’ebihumbi n’iburha lyawe lihime enyumpa z’abashombanyi balyo. 61 Rebeka ayimuka boshi n’abambali-kazi, bashonera oku ngamiya, bakulikira olya mulume. Mwambali w’Abrahamu arhôla Rebeka, bahira njira. 62 Ago mango Izaki âli ayishire omu irungu ly’iriba lya Kayi-Royi, bulya mwo ali ayubasire omu cihugo ca Negebu. 63 Izaki ahuluka mpu aje acigezageza ebwa mashwa càjingwè, erhi ayinamula amasu alangîra engamiya zayisha. 64 Rebeka naye mpu ayinamula amasu, alangîra Izaki, ashonôka oku ngamiya.
