And he said, “Come in, blessed of the Lord! Why do you stand outside, since I have prepared the house, and a place for the camels?”

So the man entered the house. Then Laban unloaded the camels, and he gave straw and feed to the camels, and water to wash his feet and the feet of the men who were with him.

But when food was set before him to eat, he said, “I will not eat until I have stated my business.” And he said, “Speak on.”

So he said, “I am Abraham’s servant.

The Lord has greatly blessed my master, so that he has become rich; and He has given him flocks and herds, and silver and gold, and servants and slave women, and camels and donkeys.

Now my master’s wife Sarah bore a son to my master in her old age, and he has given him all that he has.

My master made me swear, saying, ‘You shall not take a wife for my son from the daughters of the Canaanites, in whose land I live;

but you shall go to my father’s house and to my relatives, and take a wife for my son.’

Then I said to my master, ‘Suppose the woman does not follow me.’

And he said to me, ‘The Lord, before whom I have walked, will send His angel with you to make your journey successful, and you will take a wife for my son from my relatives and from my father’s house;

then you will be free from my oath, when you come to my relatives; and if they do not give her to you, you will be free from my oath.’

라반이 이르되 여호와께 복을 받은 자여 들어오소서 어찌 밖에 서 있나이까 내가 방과 낙타의 처소를 준비하였나이다

And he said, “Come in, blessed of the Lord! Why do you stand outside, since I have prepared the house, and a place for the camels?”

그 사람이 그 집으로 들어가매 라반이 낙타의 짐을 부리고 짚과 사료를 낙타에게 주고 그 사람의 발과 그의 동행자들의 발 씻을 물을 주고

So the man entered the house. Then Laban unloaded the camels, and he gave straw and feed to the camels, and water to wash his feet and the feet of the men who were with him.

그 앞에 음식을 베푸니 그 사람이 이르되 내가 내 일을 진술하기 전에는 먹지 아니하겠나이다 라반이 이르되 말하소서

But when food was set before him to eat, he said, “I will not eat until I have stated my business.” And he said, “Speak on.”

그가 이르되 나는 아브라함의 종이니이다

So he said, “I am Abraham’s servant.

여호와께서 나의 주인에게 크게 복을 주시어 창성하게 하시되 소와 양과 은금과 종들과 낙타와 나귀를 그에게 주셨고

The Lord has greatly blessed my master, so that he has become rich; and He has given him flocks and herds, and silver and gold, and servants and slave women, and camels and donkeys.

나의 주인의 아내 사라가 노년에 나의 주인에게 아들을 낳으매 주인이 그의 모든 소유를 그 아들에게 주었나이다

Now my master’s wife Sarah bore a son to my master in her old age, and he has given him all that he has.

나의 주인이 나에게 맹세하게 하여 이르되 너는 내 아들을 위하여 내가 사는 땅 가나안 족속의 딸들 중에서 아내를 택하지 말고

My master made me swear, saying, ‘You shall not take a wife for my son from the daughters of the Canaanites, in whose land I live;

내 아버지의 집, 내 족속에게로 가서 내 아들을 위하여 아내를 택하라 하시기로

but you shall go to my father’s house and to my relatives, and take a wife for my son.’

내가 내 주인에게 여쭈되 혹 여자가 나를 따르지 아니하면 어찌하리이까 한즉

Then I said to my master, ‘Suppose the woman does not follow me.’

주인이 내게 이르되 내가 섬기는 여호와께서 그의 사자를 너와 함께 보내어 네게 평탄한 길을 주시리니 너는 내 족속 중 내 아버지 집에서 내 아들을 위하여 아내를 택할 것이니라

And he said to me, ‘The Lord, before whom I have walked, will send His angel with you to make your journey successful, and you will take a wife for my son from my relatives and from my father’s house;

네가 내 족속에게 이를 때에는 네가 내 맹세와 상관이 없으리라 만일 그들이 네게 주지 아니할지라도 네가 내 맹세와 상관이 없으리라 하시기로

then you will be free from my oath, when you come to my relatives; and if they do not give her to you, you will be free from my oath.’
