5Muranda akati, “Ko kana mukadzi wacho akaramba kuuya neni kuno, ndinofanira kudzorera mwana wenyu kunyika kwamakabva here?” 6Abhurahamu akati, “Kwete. Usambodzorera zvako mwana wangu ikoko. 7Tenzi, Mwari wedenga akandibvisa pamusha wababa vangu, munyika yandakaberekerwa akandipikira achiti, ‘Nyika ino ndichaipa kuzvizvarwa zvako,’ ndiye achatuma mutumwa wake kuzokutungamirira kuti undotorera mwana wangu mukadzi ikoko. 8Kana mukadzi iyeyo aramba kuuya newe, iwe uchasunungurwa pamhiko yangu yawapika. Asi chako iwe rega kudzokera nemwana wangu ikoko.” 9Muranda uyu akaisa ruoko rwake pasi pechidya chaAbhurahamu, vatenzi vake, ndokupika mhiko yacho.
10Muranda uyu akatora gumi, pangamera dzavatenzi vake, nezvipo zvakasiyana-siyana zvakanakisisa zvaibva kuna vatenzi vake, akasimuka, oenda kuMesopotamia kuguta raNahori. 11Akaita kuti ngamera dzake dzirare patsime raiva kunze kweguta, manheru, nguva inouya vakadzi kuzochera mvura. 12Akanamata achiti, “Tenzi, Mwari waAbhurahamu, vatenzi vangu, nzwirai tsitsi vatenzi vangu Abhurahamu, mundibatsire ndiwane zvandafambira. 13Onai ndimire pano patsime pachauya vanasikana vavanhu vomuguta rino kuzochera mvura. 14Zvino musikana wandinenge ndati nditekerewo mvura ndinwe, kana iye akapindura achiti, ‘Inwai zvenyu uye ndichapawo ngamera dzenyu mvura yokunwa,’ iyeyo ngaave musikana wamakasarudzira muranda wenyu Isaki. Ndizvo zvichandiratidza kuti maitira mwoyochena vatenzi vangu.”
15Asati ambopedza kutaura pakabva pasvika Ribheka mwanasikana waBhetueri. Bhetueri uyu akaberekwa naMirika, mudzimai waNahori munun'una waAbhurahamu. Ribheka akasvika akatakura chirongo chake papfudzi.
16Zvino musikana uyu aiva nechimiro chakanaka kwazvo, iri mhandara isina kumbosangana nomurume. Akapinda mutsime akazadza chirongo chake nemvura akabuda. 17Muranda uyu akamhanyira kwaari akati, “Regai ndingonyavawo pahuro nemvura yokunwa yomuchirongo chenyu.”
18Musikana akati, “Inwai zvenyu tenzi wangu.” Akakurumidza kutura chirongo chake pasi ndokumubatira achinwa. 19Kuzoti amupa mvura, musikana akati, “Chiregai zvenyu nditekerewo ngamera dzenyu mvura, dzinwe dzigute.” 20Akabva atora mvura yaiva muchirongo chake akaidururira mokuti dzinwire, ndokumhanyira kutsime kundocherera ngamera dzake dzose mvura yokunwa. 21Murume akatarisisa anyerere achida kuziva kuti chokwadi Tenzi anditungamirira kuwana zvandafambira here, kana kuti kwete.
22Kuzoti ngamera dzake dzanwa dzaguta muranda uyu akatora mhete yendarama yairema sechidimbu chapakati napakati cheshekeri, ndokushongedza Ribheka. Akamupawo makoza maviri endarama airema mashekeri gumi. 23Muranda akati, “Uri mwana waaniko? Ko tingawanawo here pokurara kumba kwababa venyu?”
24Iye akati, “Ndiri mwana waBhetueri akaberekwa naMirika, mudzimai waNahori.” 25Akatiwo, “Tine zvose zvakawanda, mashanga nezvokudya zvezvipfuwo uye pokurara paripo.”
26Murume uyu akapfugama akanamata Tenzi achiti, 27“Ngaarumbidzwe Tenzi, Mwari watenzi wangu Abhurahamu nokuti akaramba akatendeka, akaita zvaakatsidzira tenzi wangu. Kana ndirini, Tenzi anditungamirira akandisvitsa kumusha kwehama dzatenzi wangu.”
28Musikana uyu akabva amhanyira kumba kwamai vake, ndokundovaudza zvose. 29Ribheka aiva nehanzvadzi yake yainzi Rabhani. Rabhani akamhanyira kumurume uye, kutsime, 30nokuti akanga aona hanzvadzi yake iine mhete, namakoza mumaoko ayo, akanzwawo kutaura kwaiita Ribheka achiti, “Ndizvo zvandaudzwa nomurume iyeyo.” Ndopaakamhanyira kumurume uya, akamuwana amire patsime paya nengamera dzake. 31Rabhani akati, “Titambireika vanyakukomborerwa naTenzi! Ko manga muchadarirei kumirira kunze kunze kuno uku. Izvozvi tatokugadzirirai imba nepokutenhera ngamera.”
32Saka murume uyu akandopinda mumba. Rabhani akasunungura ngamera dziya, akamupa mashanga nezvokudya zvengamera. Akapawo murume uyu navaaiva navo mvura yokushamba tsoka. 33Vakamuperekera zvokudya, asi iye akati, “Handingadyi ndisati ndataura mashoko angu.” Rabhani akati, “Tipire zvako tinzwe.”
34Iye akati, “Ndiri muranda waAbhurahamu. 35Tenzi akakomborera vatenzi vangu kwazvo zvokuti vakapfuma zvikuru. Vane hwai, mombe, sirivha, ndarama, navaranda vechirume nevechikadzi nengamera namadhongi mazhinji. 36Sara, mudzimai wavatenzi vangu, kunyange akanga achembera zvake, akaberekera vatenzi vangu mwana mukomana. Ivo vatenzi wangu vakapa mwana wavo iyeyo zvinhu zvose zvavanazvo. 37Zvino vatenzi vangu vakandiitisa mhiko vachiti, ‘Usatsvakire mwana wangu mukadzi mukati mevanasikana verudzi rwevaKanani vane nyika yandigere. 38Asi enda kumusha kwababa vangu, kuhama dzangu undotsvakira mwana wangu mukadzi ikoko.’ 39Ndakati kuna vatenzi vangu. ‘Zvimwe mukadzi wacho acharamba kuuya neni.’ 40Ivo vatenzi vangu ndokuti, ‘Tenzi wandinogara ndichinamata muupenyu, achatuma mutumwa wake akuperekedze kuti zvaunofambira zvibudirire, undotorera mwana wangu mukadzi kuhama dzangu kumusha kwababa vangu. 41Kana wasvika kuhama dzangu, vakaramba kukupa mukadzi iyeyo, uchasunungurwa zvako pamhiko yangu.’
42“Pandasvika patsime nhasi uno ndati, ‘Tenzi, Mwari wavatenzi vangu Abhurahamu, nditungamirireiwo ndigowana zvandafambira.’ 43Zvino zvandimire patsime pano, kana pakauya musikana kuzochera mvura ndikamuti, ‘Dondipawo mvura muchirongo chako ndinwe,’ 44kana iye akati, ‘Inwai zvenyu, ndichatekerawo ngamera dzenyu mvura yokunwa,’ iyeyo ngaave mukadzi akasarudzirwa mwana wavatenzi vangu naTenzi. 45Zvino ndisati ndapedza kunamata nechemumwoyo ndabva ndaona Ribheka achiuya akatakura chirongo pamapfudzi ake, ndokusvikopinda mutsime, ndokuchera mvura. Ini ndamuti, ‘Dondipawo mvura yokunwa.’ 46Pakarepo iye abva atura chirongo chake pamafudzi akati, ‘Inwai zvenyu, uye ndichapawo ngamera dzenyu mvura yokunwa.’ Ndanwa ndokubva iye apawo ngamera dzangu dzikanwa. 47Ipapo ndamubvunza ndichiti, ‘Ko nhai, uri mwana waaniko?’ Iye ati, ‘Ndiri mwana womwana waNahori, baba vangu ari Bhetueri aberekwa naMirika mudzimai waNahori.’ Ini ndabva ndaisa mhete pamhuno yake namakoza mumaoko ake. 48Ndapfugama ndikanamata Tenzi, ndikarumbidza Tenzi wavatenzi vangu Abhurahamu nokuti anditungamirira kuti ndinange kuhama yavatenzi vangu Abhurahamu kuti ndiwanire muroora wavatenzi vangu. 49Zvino kana imi muchida kuva vanhu vakatendeka vanoita zviri pachokwadi kuna vatenzi vangu ndiudzei. Asi kana musingadi, ndiudzeiwo zvangu ndione zvokuita.”
50Ipapo Rabhani naBhetueri vakapindura vachiti, “Zvinhu izvi zvabva kuna Tenzi. Isu hapana chatingataure. 51Ribheka ndiyeyu ari pano mutore zvako uende naye, andova mudzimai womwanakomana wavatenzi vako sokutaura kwakaita Tenzi.” 52Muranda waAbhurahamu paakanzwa zvavakataura akapfugama pasi akanamata Tenzi. 53Muranda uyu akabva abudisa zvishongo zvesirivha nezvendarama nehanzu dzokupa Ribheka. Akaburitsawo zvipo zvinokosha ndokupa amai vaRibheka nehanzvadzi yake Rabhani.
54Muranda uyu navarume vaakanga anavo vakadya, vakanwa, ndokurarapo usiku ihwohwo. Kuzoti vamuka mangwanani akati, “Chiregai ndichidzokera zvangu kuna vatenzi vangu.”
55Hanzvadzi yake naamai vake vakati, “Regai timboti garei nomusikana uyu nguva yakati kuti kana mazuva angaite gumi zvawo agoti oenda zvake.”
56Asi iye akati, “Dai machirega zvenyu kundinonotsa, onai Tenzi andipa zvandafambira. Chiregai zvenyu ndidzokere kuna vatenzi vangu.”
57Ivo vakati, “Regai tidaidze mhandara yacho tinzwe.” 58Vakadaidza Ribheka vakati kwaari, “Unoda kuenda nomurume uyu here?”
Iye akati, “Hongu ndinoda.”
59Vakabvumidza Ribheka mwana wavo#24:59 wavo: ChiHebheru chinoti hanzvadzi. kuenda. Akaenda nomuranda wechikadzi nyakumurera. Vakaenda nomuranda waAbhurahamu pamwechete navanhu vake.
60Vakakomborera Ribheka vachiti,
“Dai iwe mwana wedu
ukava amai vamazana akazanirana avanhu!
Zvizvarwa zvako ngazvikurire
maguta avavengi vazvo.”
61Ribheka navasikana vake vaimushandira vakagadzirira zvokusumuka, vakatasva ngamera dzavo, vakaenda nomurume uye vachimutevera. Muranda uyu ndiko kutora kwaakaita Ribheka akabva aenda zvake.
62Ipapo Isaki akanga achangotama kuBheerirahairoi, ava kugara kuNegevhu. 63Ava manheru, Isaki akaenda musango achimbondoti avarairwe zvake achifunga. Akasumudza musoro akaona ngamera dzichiuya. 64Ribheka akati tarisei, paakaonawo Isaki akabva akurumidza kuburuka pangamera yake, 65ndokubvunza muranda uyu achiti, “Ko murume uyo ari kuuya nomusango umo kuzochingurana nesu ndiani?” Muranda akati, “Ndivatenzi vangu.” Ribheka akatora dhuku rake akazvifukidza kumeso.
66Muranda uyu akaudza Isaki zvose zvaakanga aita. 67Isaki akaunza Ribheka mutendhe rakanga riri raSara amai vake. Akatora Ribheka akava mukadzi wake. Isaki akamuda. Saka ndiko kunyaradzwa kwaakaitwa mushure mokufa kwaamai vake Sara.
