Chakruok 29
1 Eka Jakobo nodhi nyime gi wuoth kendo nochopo e piny ogendini man yo wuok chiengʼ.
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 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 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 Jokwath nengʼielo kidi kane jamni osechokore kanyo mondo gimodhi. Bangʼ ka jamni duto osemodho, to ne gingʼielo kidino mondo odog oum dho soko.
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 Jakobo nopenjo jokwath niya, “Owetena ua kanye?” Negidwoke niya, “Waa Haran.”
And Jacob said to them, Brethren, whence are you? and they said, We are of Charrhan.
5 Nowachonegi niya, “Bende ungʼeyo Laban nyakwar Nahor?” Negidwoke niya, “Ee, wangʼeye.”
And he said to them, Know you Laban, the son of Nachor? and they said, We do know [him].
6 Eka Jakobo nopenjogi niya, “Ongima?” Negidwoke niya, “Ee, ongima, kendo mabiro gi rombe cha en Rael ma nyare.”
And he said to them, Is he well? And they said, He is well. And behold Rachel his daughter came with the sheep.
7 Nowachonegi niya, “Neuru, piny pod chon, sa michokoe jamni podi. Weuru rombe omodhi bangʼe uduokgi e lek.”
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 Negidwoke niya, “Ok wanyal timo kamano kapok jokwath duto ochokore ma wangʼielo kidi manie dho soko oko mondo jamni omodhi.”
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 Kane pod oyudo owuoyo kodgi, Rael nochopo gi romb wuon-gi nikech en ema nokwayogi.
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 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 came and rolled away the stone from the mouth of the well, and watered the sheep of Laban, his mother's brother.
11 Eka Jakobo nonyodho Rael kendo noywak gi dwol maduongʼ.
And Jacob kissed Rachel, and cried with a loud 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 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 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 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 Eka Laban nowachone niya, “In ringra awuon kendo remba.” Kane Jakobo ne osedak kod Laban kuom dwe achiel,
And Laban said to him, You are of my bones and of my flesh; and he was with him a full month.
15 Laban nowachone niya, “Mana nikech in watna, bende en gima ber tiyona maonge chudo? Nyisa gima dachul.”
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 To Laban ne nigi nyiri ariyo: nyako maduongʼ ne nyinge Lea kendo nyako matin ne nyinge Rael.
Now Laban had two daughters, the name of the elder was Lea, and the name of the younger, Rachel.
17 Lea ne nigi wangʼ ma ok nenre maber, to Rael ne nigi chia kendo jaber.
And the eyes of Lea were weak. But Rachel was beautiful in appearance, and exceedingly fair in countenance.
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 you seven years for your younger daughter Rachel.
19 Laban nowacho niya, “Ber mondo amiyi godo moloyo chiwe ni jomoko. Koro dag mana koda ka.”
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 Omiyo Jakobo notiyone Laban higni abiriyo mondo oyud Rael, to hignigo nonenorene mana ka ndalo matin nikech hera manoherogo Rael.
And Jacob served for Rachel seven years, and they were before him as a few days, by reason of his loving her.
21 Eka Jakobo nowacho ne Laban, “Asetieko ndalo mane iketona, omiyo koro miya nyari mondo obed chiega.”
And Jacob said to Laban, Give me my wife, for my days are fulfilled, that I may go in to 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 marriage-feast.
23 To kane ochopo odhiambo, Laban nokawo nyare ma Lea mi omiyo Jakobo mondo obed chiege.
And it was even, and he took his daughter Lea, and brought her in to Jacob, and Jacob went in to her.
24 Kendo Laban nochiwo Zilpa jatichne ma nyako ne nyare, Lea, mondo obed jatichne.
And Laban gave to his daughter Lea, Zelpha his handmaid, as a handmaid for her.
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 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 Laban nodwoke niya, “Ok en timwa mondo nyako matin okuong odhi tedo ne nyako maduongʼ.
And Laban answered, It is not done thus in our country, to give the younger before the elder.
27 Rit nyaka watiek juma achiel mar nyasi mar nyakoni; eka abiro miyi Rael kiyie tiyona kuom higni abiriyo mamoko.”
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 Kendo Jakobo notimo kamano. Notieko jumb kend mar Lea. Eka Laban nomiye Rael nyare mondo obed chiege.
And Jacob did so, and fulfilled her sevens; and Laban gave him his daughter Rachel to wife.
29 Laban nochiwo Bilha jatichne ma nyako ne Rael nyare kaka jatichne.
And Laban gave to his daughter his handmaid Balla, for a handmaid to her.
30 Jakobo nobedoe achiel gi Rael bende kendo nohero Rael moloyo Lea. Kendo notiyone Laban higni abiriyo moko kendo.
And he went in to Rachel; and he loved Rachel more than Lea; and he served him seven other years.
31 Kane Jehova Nyasaye oneno ni Lea ne ok oher, ne oyawo iye to Rael noketo obedo migumba.
And when the Lord God saw that Lea 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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.
