Genesis 30

1 Sa pagkakita ni Raquel nga wala siya makabaton ug mga anak kang Jacob, nasina siya sa iyang igsoong babaye. Miingon siya kang Jacob, “Hatagi ako ug mga anak, o mamatay ako.”

Rachel realized that she was not becoming pregnant and giving birth to any children for Jacob. So she became jealous of her older sister, Leah, because Leah had given birth to four sons. She said to Jacob, “Enable me to become pregnant and give birth to children. If you do not do that, I [think I will]!”

2 Hilabihan ang kasuko ni Jacob kang Raquel. Miingon siya, “Anaa ba ako sa dapit sa Dios, nga nagpugong kanimo sa pagbaton ug mga anak?”

Jacob became angry with Rachel and said, “(I am not God!/Am I God?) [RHQ] He is the one who has prevented you from becoming pregnant!”

3 Miingon siya, “Tan-awa, ania ang akong sulugoon nga si Bilha. Pakigdulog kaniya, aron makapanganak siya diha sa akong tuhod, ug makabaton ako ug mga anak pinaagi kaniya.”

Then she said, “Look, here is my female slave, Bilhah. (Sleep with/Have sex with) [EUP] her, so that she may become pregnant and give birth to children for me. In that way it will be as though (I have children/her children are mine).”

4 Busa gihatag niya ang iyang sulugoon nga si Bilha ingon nga asawa, ug si Jacob nakigdulog kaniya.

So she gave him her slave, Bilhah, to be another wife for him, and Jacob had sex [EUP] with her.

5 Nagmabdos si Bilha ug nanganak ug batang lalaki alang kang Jacob.

She became pregnant and bore Jacob a son.

6 Unya miingon si Raquel, “Midapig ang Dios kanako. Naminaw siya sa akong pag-ampo ug gihatagan ako ug usa ka anak nga lalaki.” Tungod niini ginganlan niya siya ug Dan.

Rachel said, “God has (vindicated me/judged my case and has decided that what I have done is right). He has also heard my requests and has given me a son.” So she named him Dan, [which sounds like the Hebrew word that means ‘he judged’].

7 Nagmabdos usab ang sulugoon ni Raquel nga si Bilha, ug nanganak sa ikaduhang anak nga lalaki alang kang Jacob.

Later, Rachel’s slave Bilhah became pregnant again and gave birth to another son for Jacob.

8 Si Raquel miingon, “Pinaagi sa pagpakiglayog nga hilabihan nakiglayog ako sa akong igsoong babaye ug nagmadaogon ako.” Ginganlan niya siya ug Neptali.

Then Rachel said, “I have had a great struggle to have children like my older sister, but truly I have a son.” So she named him Naphtali, [which sounds like the Hebrew word that means ‘struggle’].

9 Sa pagkakita ni Lea nga mihunong na siya sa pagpanganak, gikuha niya si Zilpa, nga iyang sulugoon, ug gihatag siya kang Jacob ingon nga asawa.

When Leah realized that she was not becoming pregnant and giving birth to any more children, she took her female slave, Zilpah, and gave her to Jacob to be another wife for him.

10 Ang sulugoon ni Lea nga si Zilpa, nanganak ug batang lalaki kang Jacob.

Zilpah soon became pregnant and gave birth to a son for Jacob.

11 Miingon si Lea, “Palaran kini!” busa ginganlan niya siya ug Gad.

Leah said, “I am truly fortunate!” So she named him Gad, [which means ‘fortunate’].

12 Unya si Zilpa, ang sulugoon ni Lea, nanganak sa ikaduhang batang lalaki alang kang Jacob.

Later Leah’s slave, Zilpah, gave birth to another son for Jacob.

13 Miingon si Lea, “Malipayon ako! Kay ang mga anak nga babaye magtawag kanako nga malipayon.” Busa ginganlan niya siya ug Aser.

Leah said, “Now I am very happy, and people will call me happy.” So she named him Asher, [which means ‘happy].’

14 Milakaw si Ruben sa mga adlaw nga ting-ani sa trigo ug nakakaplag siya ug mandragora sa uma. Gidala niya kini ngadto sa iyang inahan nga si Lea. Unya miingon si Raquel ngadto kang Lea, “Hatagi ako sa pipila ka mandragora sa imong anak nga lalaki.”

When it was time to harvest wheat, Reuben went out into the fields and saw some (mandrakes/plants that women eat to help them to become pregnant). He brought some of them to his mother Leah. But Rachel saw them and said to Leah, “Please give me some of those plants that your son brought to you!”

15 Miingon si Lea ngadto kaniya, “Diyutay lamang ba kini nga butang alang kanimo, nga gikuha mo usab ang akong bana? Unya gusto mo usab kuhaon ang mandragora sa akong anak nga lalaki?” Miingon si Raquel, “Kung ingon niana man, makadulog siya kanimo karong gabhiona, baylo sa mandragora sa imong anak nga lalaki.”

But Leah said to her, “No! (It was bad that you stole my husband!/Is it not bad enough that you stole my husband?) [RHQ] Now (are you going to take my son’s mandrake plants?/You want to take my son’s mandrake plants also, [so that you can become pregnant]!)” [RHQ] So Rachel said, “All right, Jacob can sleep with you tonight, if you give me some of your son’s mandrake plants.” [So Leah (agreed/gave her some)].

16 Miabot si Jacob gikan sa uma nianang gabhiona. Migawas si Lea aron sa pagsugat kaniya ug miingon, “Kinahanglang makigdulog ka kanako karong gabhiona, kay gisuholan ko ikaw pinaagi sa mandragora sa akong anak.” Busa nakigdulog si Jacob kang Lea nianang gabhiona.

When Jacob returned from the wheat fields that evening, Leah went out to meet him. She said, “You must sleep with me tonight, because I gave Rachel some of my son’s mandrakes [that enable women to become pregnant], to pay her for allowing us to do that.” So Jacob slept with her that night.

17 Gidungog sa Dios si Lea, ug nagmabdos siya ug nanganak sa ikalimang anak nga lalaki alang kang Jacob.

God answered Leah’s prayers, and she became pregnant and bore a fifth son to Jacob.

18 Miingon si Lea, “Gihatag sa Dios kanako ang akong balos, tungod kay akong gihatag ang akong sulugoon nga babaye sa akong bana.” Ginganlan niya siya ug Isacar.

Leah said, “God has rewarded me for giving my slave to my husband to be another wife for him.” So she named him Issachar, [which sounds like the Hebrew word that means ‘reward’].

19 Nagmabdos pag-usab si Lea ug nanganak sa ikaunom nga anak nga lalaki alang kang Jacob.

Leah became pregnant again and bore a sixth son for Jacob.

20 Miingon si Lea, “Naghatag ang Dios kanako ug usa ka maayong gasa. Karon pasidunggan na ako sa akong bana, tungod kay gianak ko man alang kaniya ang unom ka batang lalaki.” Ginganlan niya siya ug Zebulun.

Leah said, “God has given me a precious gift. (This time/Now) my husband will honor/respect me, because I have given birth to six sons for him.” So she named him Zebulon, [which sounds like the Hebrew word that means ‘accepted gift’].

21 Pagkahuman niana nanganak siya ug batang babaye ug ginganlan siya ug Dina.

Later she gave birth to a daughter, and named her Dinah.

22 Nahinumdom ang Dios kang Raquel ug naminaw kaniya. Gitugot sa Dios nga magmabdos siya.

Then God thought about what Rachel wanted. He heard her prayers and enabled her to become pregnant.

23 Nagmabdos siya ug nanganak sa usa ka batang lalaki. Miingon siya, “Gikuha sa Dios ang akong kaulaw.”

She became pregnant and gave birth to a son. She said, “God has caused that no longer will I be ashamed [for not having children].”

24 Ginganlan niya siya ug Jose, nga nag-ingon, “Si Yahweh nagdugang kanako ug usa ka anak nga lalaki.”

She named him Joseph, [which sounds like the Hebrew words that mean ‘may he give another’] and she said, ‘want Yahweh to give me another son.’

25 Human manganak si Raquel kang Jose, miingon si Jacob kang Laban, “Palakwa ako, aron nga makauli na ako sa akong kaugalingong panimalay ug sa akong nasod.

After Rachel had given birth to Joseph, Jacob said to Laban, “Now allow me to quit working for you and let me return to my own land.

26 Ihatag kanako ang akong mga asawa ug ang akong mga anak nga akong gialagaran kanimo, ug tugoti ako sa paglakaw, kay nasayod ka sa pag-alagad nga gialagad ko kanimo.”

You know the work that I have done for you [for a long time to get my wives]. So let me take my wives and my children, and leave.”

27 Miingon si Laban kaniya, “Kung makakaplag ako karon ug kalooy sa imong mga mata, hulat usa, tungod kay akong nasayran pinaagi sa panagna nga gipanalanginan ako ni Yahweh tungod kanimo.”

But Laban said to him, “If you are pleased with me, stay here, because I have found out by performing a magic ritual that Yahweh has blessed me because of what you have done for me.

28 Unya miingon siya, “Ibungat ang imong mga suhol, ug pagabayaran ko kini.”

Tell me what you want me to pay you for continuing to work for me, and that is what I will pay you.”

29 Si Jacob miingon kaniya, “Nasayod ka kung giunsa ko ikaw pag-alagad, ug kung giunsa ko ang kahimtang sa imong mga kahayopan.

Jacob replied, “You know how I have worked for you, and you know that your livestock have increased greatly as I have taken care of them.

30 Kay diyutay lamang ang imo sa wala pa ako miabot, ug midaghan kini pag-ayo. Gipanalanginan ka ni Yahweh bisan asa ako ang magbuhat. Karon kanus-a pa man ako makahatag usab alang sa akong kaugalingong panimalay?”

You had only a few animals before I came here. But now you have very many, and Yahweh has caused them to increase greatly in number wherever I have taken them. But now I need to start taking care of the needs of my own family.”

31 Busa miingon si Laban, “Unsa man ang akong ibayad kanimo?” Mitubag si Jacob, “Dili ka na maghatag kanako ug bisan unsa. Kay kung buhaton mo kini alang kanako, pasibsibon ko pag-usab ang imong mga panon sa kahayopan ug atimanon kini.

Laban replied, “What do you want me to give you?” Jacob replied, “I do not want you to pay me anything. But if you will do this one thing for me, I will continue to take care of your flocks and protect them.

32 Palakawa ako sa tanang panon sa imong kahayopan karong adlawa, magalain ako sa puntik-puntik ug sa kabang nga mga karnero, ug sa matag itom diha sa mga karnero, ug ang puntik-puntik ug ang kabang nga mga kanding. Mao kini ang akong suhol.

Allow me to go and look at all of your flocks today and remove from them all the speckled sheep, all the spotted sheep, and every dark-colored lamb, all the goats that are speckled, and all the goats that are spotted, [and keep them for myself]. They will be my wages.

33 Ang akong kadungganan magpamatuod kanako human sa pagsusi nimo sa akong mga suhol. Ang tanan nga dili puntik-puntik ug dili kabang diha sa mga kanding, ug ang tanan nga itom diha sa mga karnero, nga makaplagan mo kanako, pagaisipon mo kini nga kinawat.”

In that way, in the future, you will be able to know whether I have been honest regarding what you have paid me. If any of my goats are neither speckled or spotted, or if any of my lambs are not dark-colored, you will know that I have stolen them from you.”

34 Miingon si Laban. “Mouyon ako. Mahitabo unta kini sumala sa imong gipamulong.”

Laban agreed and said, “Okay, we will do as you have said.”

35 Nianang adlawa gilain ni Laban ang mga lake nga kanding nga adunay badlis ug kabang, ug ang tanang baye nga mga kanding nga puntik-puntik ug kabang, ang matag usa nga adunay puti niini, ug ang tanang itom diha sa mga karnero, ug gihatag kini sa kamot sa iyang mga anak nga lalaki.

But that same day Laban removed all the male goats that had black and white stripes on them or were spotted, and all the female goats that were speckled or spotted, all the goats that were partly white, and all the dark-colored lambs. He separated them and told his sons to take care of them.

36 Nagtakda usab si Laban ug tulo ka adlaw nga panaw tali kaniya ug kang Jacob. Busa nagpadayon si Jacob sa pagpasibsib sa tanang nahibilin nga kahayopan ni Laban.

Then he took these flocks and walked a distance of three days, in order that he could be that far from Jacob. Jacob continued to take care of the rest of Laban’s flocks.

37 Mikuha si Jacob ug bag-ong putol nga mga sanga sa lunhaw nga poplar, ug sa alamo ug sa palano nga kahoy ug gipal-akan ang panit niini maputi, ug gihimo nga makita ang puti sa kahoy nga pinal-akan nga anaa sa mga sanga.

Then Jacob cut some branches of (poplar, almond, and plane trees/three kinds of trees that had white wood). He peeled strips of bark from the branches, so that where the bark had been peeled off, the branches were light in color.

38 Unya gibutang niya ang sanga nga iyang pinanitan atubangan sa mga panon sa kahayopan, sa atubangan sa pasungan nga paimnanan kung asa sila manginom. Nagmabdos sila sa dihang mangadto sila aron moinom.

Then he placed the peeled branches in the troughs where they put the water for the animals to drink, so that the branches would be in front of the flocks when they came to drink.

39 Nag-upahanay ang mga kahayopan atubangan sa mga sanga; ug ang panon sa kahayopan nanganak nga may mga badlis, mga puntik-puntik, ug mga kabang.

The animals also mated in front of the branches, and eventually they gave birth to animals that were speckled, or to animals that were spotted, or to animals that had black and white stripes on them.

40 Gilain ni Jacob kining mga nating karnero, apan gipaatubang ang nahibilin kanila sa may mga badlis nga mga kahayopan ug ang tanang itom nga karnero sa panon sa kahayopan ni Laban. Unya gilain niya ang iyang panon sa kahayopan alang lamang sa iyang kaugalingon ug wala sila itipon uban sa panon sa kahayopan ni Laban.

Furthermore, Jacob separated the female sheep in his flock from the other sheep and goats in Laban’s flock. And when his female sheep mated, he made them look toward the animals that belonged to Laban that had black and white stripes on them, and the dark-colored animals. He did that so that the female sheep would give birth to animals that were striped or dark-colored. By doing that, he made bigger flocks for himself, and he kept them separate from Laban’s flocks.

41 Ug nahitabo nga sa dihang mosanay ang kusgan nga karnero diha sa panon, didto ibutang ni Jacob ang mga sanga sa pasungan nga paimnanan sa atubangan sa mga mata sa panon sa kahayopan, aron manamkon sila taliwala sa mga sanga.

In addition, whenever the stronger female sheep were ready to mate, Jacob put some of those peeled branches in the troughs in front of them, so that they would mate in front of the branches.

42 Apan kung moduol ang mga luyahon nga kahayopan sa panon, dili niya ibutang ang mga sanga sa atubangan nila. Busa ang mga luyahon nga kahayopan mao ang kang Laban, ug ang mga kusgan mao ang kang Jacob.

But when weak animals were ready to mate, he did not put the branches in their troughs. So the weak ones became part of Laban’s flock, and the strong ones became part of Jacob’s flock.

43 Ang tawo nagmalambuon. Nakabaton siya ug dakong panon sa kahayopan, mga sulugoon nga babaye ug mga lalaki, ug mga kamelyo ug mga asno.

As a result, Jacob became very rich. He owned many large flocks of sheep and goats, and many male and female slaves, and many camels and donkeys.
