Chakruok 29
1 Eka Jakobo nodhi nyime gi wuoth kendo nochopo e piny ogendini man yo wuok chiengʼ.
Then Jacob went on his journey, and came into the land of the people of the east.
2 Nopo koneno soko ei pap kod kweth adek mag rombe konindo machiegni kanyo nikech kwethgo ne modho e sokono. To kidi mane nitie e dho sokono ne duongʼ.
And he looked, and behold a well in the field, and, lo, there were three flocks of sheep lying by it; for out of that well they watered the flocks: and a great stone was upon the well’s mouth.
3 Jokwath nengʼielo kidi kane jamni osechokore kanyo mondo gimodhi. Bangʼ ka jamni duto osemodho, to ne gingʼielo kidino mondo odog oum dho soko.
And thither were all the flocks gathered: and they rolled the stone from the well’s mouth, and watered the sheep, and put the stone again upon the well’s mouth in his place.
4 Jakobo nopenjo jokwath niya, “Owetena ua kanye?” Negidwoke niya, “Waa Haran.”
And Jacob said unto them, My brethren, whence be ye? And they said, Of Haran are we.
5 Nowachonegi niya, “Bende ungʼeyo Laban nyakwar Nahor?” Negidwoke niya, “Ee, wangʼeye.”
And he said unto them, Know ye Laban the son of Nahor? And they said, We know him.
6 Eka Jakobo nopenjogi niya, “Ongima?” Negidwoke niya, “Ee, ongima, kendo mabiro gi rombe cha en Rael ma nyare.”
And he said unto them, Is he well? And they said, He is well: and, behold, Rachel his daughter cometh with the sheep.
7 Nowachonegi niya, “Neuru, piny pod chon, sa michokoe jamni podi. Weuru rombe omodhi bangʼe uduokgi e lek.”
And he said, Lo, it is yet high day, neither is it time that the cattle should be gathered together: water ye the sheep, and go and feed them.
8 Negidwoke niya, “Ok wanyal timo kamano kapok jokwath duto ochokore ma wangʼielo kidi manie dho soko oko mondo jamni omodhi.”
And they said, We cannot, until all the flocks be gathered together, and till they roll the stone from the well’s mouth; then we water the sheep.
9 Kane pod oyudo owuoyo kodgi, Rael nochopo gi romb wuon-gi nikech en ema nokwayogi.
And while he yet spake with them, Rachel came with her father’s sheep: for she kept them.
10 Kane Jakobo oneno Rael, nyar Laban ner mare kod romb Laban, nodhi mongʼielo kidi oko e dho soko kendo omiyo romb ner mare omodho.
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 went near, and rolled the stone from the well’s mouth, and watered the flock of Laban his mother’s brother.
11 Eka Jakobo nonyodho Rael kendo noywak gi dwol maduongʼ.
And Jacob kissed Rachel, and lifted up his voice, and wept.
12 Noyudo osenyiso Rael ni en wat wuon Rael kendo ni en wuod Rebeka. Kuom mano Rael nodhi monyiso wuon mare.
And Jacob told Rachel that he was her father’s brother, and that he was Rebekah’s son: and she ran and told her father.
13 To kane Laban owinjo wach mar Jakobo, wuod nyamin noringo mondo odhi oromne. Nokwake kendo omose gimor mi orwake dalane kendo Jakobo nonyise gik moko duto.
And it came to pass, when Laban heard the tidings of Jacob his sister’s son, that he ran to meet him, and embraced him, and kissed him, and brought him to his house. And he told Laban all these things.
14 Eka Laban nowachone niya, “In ringra awuon kendo remba.” Kane Jakobo ne osedak kod Laban kuom dwe achiel,
And Laban said to him, Surely thou art my bone and my flesh. And he abode with him the space of a month.
15 Laban nowachone niya, “Mana nikech in watna, bende en gima ber tiyona maonge chudo? Nyisa gima dachul.”
And Laban said unto Jacob, Because thou art my brother, shouldest thou therefore serve me for nought? tell me, what shall thy wages be?
16 To Laban ne nigi nyiri ariyo: nyako maduongʼ ne nyinge Lea kendo nyako matin ne nyinge Rael.
And Laban had two daughters: the name of the elder was Leah, and the name of the younger was Rachel.
17 Lea ne nigi wangʼ ma ok nenre maber, to Rael ne nigi chia kendo jaber.
Leah was tender eyed; but Rachel was beautiful and well favoured.
18 Jakobo nohero Rael, kendo nowacho ni Laban niya, “Abiro tiyoni kuom higni abiriyo kuom Rael nyari matin.”
And Jacob loved Rachel; and said, I will serve thee seven years for Rachel thy younger daughter.
19 Laban nowacho niya, “Ber mondo amiyi godo moloyo chiwe ni jomoko. Koro dag mana koda ka.”
And Laban said, It is better that I give her to thee, than that I should give her to another man: abide with me.
20 Omiyo Jakobo notiyone Laban higni abiriyo mondo oyud Rael, to hignigo nonenorene mana ka ndalo matin nikech hera manoherogo Rael.
And Jacob served seven years for Rachel; and they seemed unto him but a few days, for the love he had to her.
21 Eka Jakobo nowacho ne Laban, “Asetieko ndalo mane iketona, omiyo koro miya nyari mondo obed chiega.”
And Jacob said unto Laban, Give me my wife, for my days are fulfilled, that I may go in unto her.
22 Kuom mano Laban noloso nyasi kendo nogwelo ji duto mae pinyno.
And Laban gathered together all the men of the place, and made a feast.
23 To kane ochopo odhiambo, Laban nokawo nyare ma Lea mi omiyo Jakobo mondo obed chiege.
And it came to pass in the evening, that he took Leah his daughter, and brought her to him; and he went in unto her.
24 Kendo Laban nochiwo Zilpa jatichne ma nyako ne nyare, Lea, mondo obed jatichne.
And Laban gave unto his daughter Leah Zilpah his maid for an handmaid.
25 Kane piny oru, Jakobo nofwenyo mana ni en Lea! Omiyo nopenjo Laban niya, “Angʼo momiyo isetimona kama? Donge natiyoni mondo imiya Rael? To angʼo momiyo isewuonda?”
And it came to pass, that in the morning, behold, it was Leah: and he said to Laban, What is this thou hast done unto me? did not I serve with thee for Rachel? wherefore then hast thou beguiled me?
26 Laban nodwoke niya, “Ok en timwa mondo nyako matin okuong odhi tedo ne nyako maduongʼ.
And Laban said, It must not be so done in our country, to give the younger before the firstborn.
27 Rit nyaka watiek juma achiel mar nyasi mar nyakoni; eka abiro miyi Rael kiyie tiyona kuom higni abiriyo mamoko.”
Fulfil her week, and we will give thee this also for the service which thou shalt serve with me yet seven other years.
28 Kendo Jakobo notimo kamano. Notieko jumb kend mar Lea. Eka Laban nomiye Rael nyare mondo obed chiege.
And Jacob did so, and fulfilled her week: and he gave him Rachel his daughter to wife also.
29 Laban nochiwo Bilha jatichne ma nyako ne Rael nyare kaka jatichne.
And Laban gave to Rachel his daughter Bilhah his handmaid to be her maid.
30 Jakobo nobedoe achiel gi Rael bende kendo nohero Rael moloyo Lea. Kendo notiyone Laban higni abiriyo moko kendo.
And he went in also unto Rachel, and he loved also Rachel more than Leah, and served with him yet seven other years.
31 Kane Jehova Nyasaye oneno ni Lea ne ok oher, ne oyawo iye to Rael noketo obedo migumba.
And when Yhwh saw that Leah was hated, he opened her womb: but Rachel was barren.
32 Lea nomako ich kendo nonywolo wuowi. Nowacho niya, “Jehova Nyasaye oseneno chandruokna, kendo koro chwora biro hera.” Omiyo nochake ni Reuben.
And Leah conceived, and bare a son, and she called his name Reuben: for she said, Surely Yhwh hath looked upon my affliction; now therefore my husband will love me.
33 Nochako omako ich, monywolo wuowi moro. Nowacho niya, “Jehova Nyasaye osemiya wuowi machielo nimar nowinjo ka chwora ok ohera.” Omiyo nochake ni Simeon.
And she conceived again, and bare a son; and said, because Yhwh hath heard that I was hated, he hath therefore given me this son also: and she called his name Simeon.
34 Nochako omako ich, kendo ochako onywolo wuowi. Nowacho niya, “Koro chwora biro padore kuoma nikech asenywolone yawuowi adek.” Omiyo nochake ni Lawi.
And she conceived again, and bare a son; and said, Now this time will my husband be joined unto me, because I have born him three sons: therefore was his name called Levi.
35 Nochako omako ich, kendo kane ochako onywolo wuowi nowacho niya, “Koro abiro pako Jehova Nyasaye.” Omiyo nochake ni Juda. Bangʼ mano noweyo nywolo nyithindo.
And she conceived again, and bare a son: and she said, Now will I praise Yhwh: therefore she called his name Judah; and left bearing.
