< Genesis 29 >

1 Unya mipadayon si Jacob sa iyang panaw ug nahiabot siya sa kayutaan sa katawhan sa sidlakan.
And Jacob started and went to the land of the east to Laban, the son of Bathuel the Syrian, and the brother of Rebecca, mother of Jacob and Esau.
2 Sa iyang pagtan-aw, nakakita siya ug atabay didto sa uma, ug ania, adunay tulo ka panon sa mga karnero nga naglubog niini. Kay gikan niana nga atabay magpainom sila sa mga panon sa kahayopan, ug adunay dako nga bato ibabaw sa baba sa atabay.
And he looks, and behold! a well in the plain; and there were there three flocks of sheep resting at it, for out of that well they watered the flocks, but there was a great stone at the mouth of the well.
3 Sa dihang matigom na didto ang tanang panon sa kahayopan, ang mga magbalantay maoy magligid sa bato gikan sa baba sa atabay ug magpainom sa mga karnero, ug unya ibutang ang bato ibabaw sa baba sa atabay balik sa nahimutangan niini.
And there were all the flocks gathered, and they used to roll away the stone from the mouth of the well, and water the flocks, and set the stone again in its place on the mouth of the well.
4 Miingon si Jacob ngadto kanila, mga igsoon ko, asa man kamo gikan? Ug miingon sila, “Gikan kami sa Haran.”
And Jacob said to them, Brethren, whence are you? and they said, We are of Charrhan.
5 Miingon siya kanila, “Nakaila ba kamo kang Laban ang anak nga lalaki ni Nahor?” Mitubag sila, “Nakaila kami kaniya,”
And he said to them, Know you Laban, the son of Nachor? and they said, We do know [him].
6 Miingon siya kanila, “Maayo ba siya?” Sila mitubag, “Maayo man siya, ug tan-awa, nagpadulong dinhi ang iyang anak nga babaye nga si Raquel uban ang mga karnero.”
And he said to them, Is he well? And they said, He is well. And behold Rachel his daughter came with the sheep.
7 Miingon si Jacob, “Tan-awa, hataas pa ang adlaw. Dili pa kini mao ang takna aron tigumon ang mga kahayopan. Kinahanglan paimnon una ninyo ang mga karnero ug unya lakaw ug pasabsaba sila.”
And Jacob said, it is yet high day, it is not yet time that the flocks be gathered together; water you the flocks, and depart and feed them.
8 Miingon sila, “Dili kami makapainom kanila hangtod nga matigom ang tanang kahayopan. Unya igaligid sa mga lakaki ang bato gikan sa baba sa atabay, ug makapainom na kami sa mga karnero.”
And they said, We shall not be able, until all the shepherds be gathered together, and they shall roll away the stone from the mouth of the well, then we will water the flocks.
9 Samtang nakigsulti pa si Jacob kanila, miabot si Raquel uban sa mga karnero sa iyang amahan, kay siya man ang nag-atiman kanila.
While he was yet speaking to them, behold, Rachel the daughter of Laban came with her father's sheep, for she fed the sheep of her father.
10 Sa pagkakita ni Jacob kang Raquel, ang anak nga babaye ni Laban, nga igsoong lalaki sa iyang inahan, ug sa mga karnero ni Laban, nga igsoong lalaki sa iyang inahan, miduol si Jacob, ug giligid niya ang bato gikan sa baba sa atabay, ug gipainom ang kahayopan ni Laban, nga igsoon sa iyang inahan.
And it came to pass when Jacob saw Rachel the daughter of Laban, his mother's brother, and the sheep of Laban, his mother's brother, that Jacob came and rolled away the stone from the mouth of the well, and watered the sheep of Laban, his mother's brother.
11 Gihalokan ni Jacob si Raquel ug mihilak siya sa makusog.
And Jacob kissed Rachel, and cried with a loud voice and wept.
12 Gisultihan ni Jacob si Raquel nga siya mao ang paryente sa iyang amahan, ug nga siya ang anak ni Rebeca. Unya midagan siya ug gisuginlan ang iyang amahan.
And he told Rachel that he was the near relative of her father, and the son of Rebecca; and she ran and reported to her father according to these words.
13 Sa pagkadungog ni Laban sa balita mahitungod kang Jacob nga anak sa iyang igsoong babaye, midagan siya aron sa pagtagbo kaniya, gigakos niya siya ug gihalokan, ug gidala niya siya sa iyang panimalay. Gisugilon ni Jacob kang Laban kining tanang butang.
And it came to pass when Laban heard the name of Jacob, his sister's son, he ran to meet him, and embraced and kissed him, and brought him into his house; and he told Laban all these sayings.
14 Miingon si Laban kaniya, “Ikaw gayod ang akong bukog ug ang akong unod.” Unya mipuyo si Jacob kaniya sa usa ka bulan.
And Laban said to him, You are of my bones and of my flesh; and he was with him a full month.
15 Unya miingon si Laban kang Jacob, “Kinahanglan ba nga mag-alagad ka kanako nga walay bayad tungod kay ikaw akong paryente? Sultihi ako, unsa man ang ibayad kanimo?”
And Laban said to Jacob, Surely you shall not serve me for nothing, because you are my brother; tell me what your reward is to be.
16 Karon si Laban adunay duha ka anak nga babaye. Ang ngalan sa kamagulangan mao si Lea, ug ang kinamanghoran mao si Raquel.
Now Laban had two daughters, the name of the elder was Lea, and the name of the younger, Rachel.
17 Ang mga mata ni Lea malumo, apan si Raquel maanyag ang pamarog ug ang panagway.
And the eyes of Lea were weak. But Rachel was beautiful in appearance, and exceedingly fair in countenance.
18 Gihigugma ni Jacob si Raquel, busa miingon siya, “Mag-alagad ako kanimo sulod sa pito ka tuig alang kang Raquel, ang imong kamanghorang anak nga babaye.”
And Jacob loved Rachel, and said, I will serve you seven years for your younger daughter Rachel.
19 Si Laban miingon, “Mas maayo pa nga ihatag ko siya kanimo kaysa ihatag ko siya sa ubang lalaki. Pagpuyo uban kanako.”
And Laban said to him, [It is] better that I should give her to you, than that I should give her to another man; dwell with me.
20 Busa nag-alagad si Jacob kang Laban sulod sa pito katuig alang kang Raquel; ug daw sama lamang kini sa pipila ka mga adlaw, tungod sa iyang gugma kaniya.
And Jacob served for Rachel seven years, and they were before him as a few days, by reason of his loving her.
21 Unya miingon si Jacob kang Laban, “Ihatag na kanako ang akong asawa, kay nahingpit ko na ang mga adlaw—aron nga mapangasawa ko na siya!”
And Jacob said to Laban, Give me my wife, for my days are fulfilled, that I may go in to her.
22 Busa gitigom ni Laban ang tanang tawo sa maong dapit ug nagpakombira siya.
And Laban gathered together all the men of the place, and made a marriage-feast.
23 Pagkagabii niana, gikuha ni Laban ang iyang anak nga babaye nga si Lea ug gidala siya ngadto kang Jacob, nga nakigdulog kaniya.
And it was even, and he took his daughter Lea, and brought her in to Jacob, and Jacob went in to her.
24 Ug gihatag ni Laban ang iyang babayeng sulugoon nga si Zilpa ngadto sa iyang anak nga si Lea, aron mahimo niyang sulugoon.
And Laban gave to his daughter Lea, Zelpha his handmaid, as a handmaid for her.
25 Sa pagkabuntag, tan-awa, si Lea diay kadto! Miingon si Jacob ngadto kang Laban, “Unsa man kining gibuhat mo kanako? Dili ba nag-alagad man ako kanimo alang kang Raquel? Nganong gilingla mo man ako?”
And it was morning, and behold it was Lea; and Jacob said to Laban, What is this that you have done to me? did I not serve you for Rachel? and therefore have you deceived me?
26 Mitubag si Laban, “Wala namo nabatasan ang paghatag una sa manghod kaysa magulang.
And Laban answered, It is not done thus in our country, to give the younger before the elder.
27 Taposa una ang simana sa kasal niining anak nga babaye, ug igahatag usab namo kanimo ang manghod ingon nga baylo sa imong pag-alagad pa kanako sa dugang pito katuig.”
Fulfil then her sevens, and I will give to you her also in return for your labor, which you labor with me, yet seven other years.
28 Busa gibuhat kana ni Jacob, ug gitapos ang simana ni Lea. Unya gihatag usab ni Laban kaniya si Raquel nga iyang anak nga babaye ingon nga iyang asawa.
And Jacob did so, and fulfilled her sevens; and Laban gave him his daughter Rachel to wife.
29 Gihatag usab ni Laban si Bilha ngadto sa iyang anak nga babaye nga si Raquel aron mahimo niyang sulugoon.
And Laban gave to his daughter his handmaid Balla, for a handmaid to her.
30 Busa nakigdulog usab si Jacob kang Raquel, apan mas gihigugma pag-ayo niya si Raquel kaysa kang Lea. Busa nag-alagad pa si Jacob kang Laban sa dugang pito katuig.
And he went in to Rachel; and he loved Rachel more than Lea; and he served him seven other years.
31 Nakita ni Yahweh nga wala gihigugma si Lea, busa giablihan niya ang iyang tagoangkan, apan si Raquel walay anak.
And when the Lord God saw that Lea was hated, he opened her womb; but Rachel was barren.
32 Nagmabdos si Lea ug nanganak ug usa ka batang lalaki, ug ginganlan niya siya ug Ruben. Kay miingon siya, “Tungod kay nakita ni Yahweh ang akong kasakitan; higugmaon na gayod ako karon sa akong bana.”
And Lea conceived and bore a son to Jacob; and she called his name, Ruben; saying, Because the Lord has looked on my humiliation, and has given me a son, now then my husband will love me.
33 Unya nagmabdos siya pag-usab ug nanganak ug usa ka batang lalaki. Miingon siya, “Tungod kay nadungog ni Yahweh nga wala ako higugmaa, gihatagan niya usab ako ug laing anak nga lalaki.” Ug ginganlan niya siya ug Simeon.
And she conceived again, and bore a second son to Jacob; and she said, Because the Lord has heard that I am hated, he has given to me this one also; and she called his name, Simeon.
34 Unya nagmabdos na usab siya ug nanganak ug laing batang lalaki. Miingon siya, “Karon niining higayona mahigugma na kanako ang akong bana, tungod kay gipanganak ko alang kaniya ang tulo ka anak nga lalaki.” Busa ginganlan siya ug Levi.
And she conceived yet again, and bore a son, and said, In the present time my husband will be with me, for I have born him three sons; therefore she called his name, Levi.
35 Nagmabdos siya pag-usab ug nanganak ug batang lalaki. Miingon siya, “Niining higayona pagadaygon ko si Yahweh.” Busa ginganlan siya ug Juda; unya mihunong na siya sa pagpanganak.
And having conceived yet again, she bore a son, and said, Now yet again this time will I give thanks to the Lord; therefore she called his name, Juda; and ceased bearing.
