Chakruok 29
1 Eka Jakobo nodhi nyime gi wuoth kendo nochopo e piny ogendini man yo wuok chiengʼ.
And Jacob lifts up his feet, and goes toward the land of the sons 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 looks, and behold, a well in the field, and behold, there [are] three droves of a flock crouching by it, for they water the droves from that well, and the great stone [is] on 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.
(When all the droves have been gathered there, and they have rolled the stone from off the mouth of the well, and have watered the flock, then they have turned back the stone on the mouth of the well to its place.)
4 Jakobo nopenjo jokwath niya, “Owetena ua kanye?” Negidwoke niya, “Waa Haran.”
And Jacob says to them, “My brothers, where [are] you from?” And they say, “We [are] from Haran.”
5 Nowachonegi niya, “Bende ungʼeyo Laban nyakwar Nahor?” Negidwoke niya, “Ee, wangʼeye.”
And he says to them, “Have you known Laban, son of Nahor?” And they say, “We have known.”
6 Eka Jakobo nopenjogi niya, “Ongima?” Negidwoke niya, “Ee, ongima, kendo mabiro gi rombe cha en Rael ma nyare.”
And he says to them, “Does he have peace?” And they say, “Peace; and behold, his daughter Rachel is coming with the flock.”
7 Nowachonegi niya, “Neuru, piny pod chon, sa michokoe jamni podi. Weuru rombe omodhi bangʼe uduokgi e lek.”
And he says, “Behold, the day [is] still great, [it is] not time for the livestock to be gathered; water the flock, and go, delight yourselves.”
8 Negidwoke niya, “Ok wanyal timo kamano kapok jokwath duto ochokore ma wangʼielo kidi manie dho soko oko mondo jamni omodhi.”
And they say, “We are not able, until all the droves be gathered together, and they have rolled away the stone from the mouth of the well, and we have watered the flock.”
9 Kane pod oyudo owuoyo kodgi, Rael nochopo gi romb wuon-gi nikech en ema nokwayogi.
He is yet speaking with them, and Rachel has come with the flock which her father has, for she [is] shepherdess;
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 comes to pass, when Jacob has seen Rachel, daughter of his mother’s brother Laban, and the flock of his mother’s brother Laban, that Jacob comes near and rolls the stone from off the mouth of the well, and waters the flock of his mother’s brother Laban.
11 Eka Jakobo nonyodho Rael kendo noywak gi dwol maduongʼ.
And Jacob kisses Rachel, and lifts up his voice, and weeps,
12 Noyudo osenyiso Rael ni en wat wuon Rael kendo ni en wuod Rebeka. Kuom mano Rael nodhi monyiso wuon mare.
and Jacob declares to Rachel that he [is] her father’s brother, and that he [is] Rebekah’s son, and she runs and declares [it] to 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 comes to pass, when Laban hears the report of his sister’s son Jacob, that he runs to meet him, and embraces him, and kisses him, and brings him into his house; and he recounts to 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 says to him, “You [are] surely my bone and my flesh”; and he dwells with him a month of days.
15 Laban nowachone niya, “Mana nikech in watna, bende en gima ber tiyona maonge chudo? Nyisa gima dachul.”
And Laban says to Jacob, “Is it because you [are] my brother that you have served me for nothing? Declare to me what your hire [is].”
16 To Laban ne nigi nyiri ariyo: nyako maduongʼ ne nyinge Lea kendo nyako matin ne nyinge Rael.
And Laban has two daughters, the name of the older [is] Leah, 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 Leah [are] tender, and Rachel has been beautiful of form and beautiful of appearance.
18 Jakobo nohero Rael, kendo nowacho ni Laban niya, “Abiro tiyoni kuom higni abiriyo kuom Rael nyari matin.”
And Jacob loves Rachel and says, “I serve you seven years for Rachel your younger daughter”:
19 Laban nowacho niya, “Ber mondo amiyi godo moloyo chiwe ni jomoko. Koro dag mana koda ka.”
and Laban says, “It is better for me to give her to you than to 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 serves for Rachel seven years; and they are in his eyes as some days, because of his loving her.
21 Eka Jakobo nowacho ne Laban, “Asetieko ndalo mane iketona, omiyo koro miya nyari mondo obed chiega.”
And Jacob says to Laban, “Give up my wife, for my days have been fulfilled, and I go in to her”;
22 Kuom mano Laban noloso nyasi kendo nogwelo ji duto mae pinyno.
and Laban gathers all the men of the place, and makes a banquet.
23 To kane ochopo odhiambo, Laban nokawo nyare ma Lea mi omiyo Jakobo mondo obed chiege.
And it comes to pass in the evening, that he takes his daughter Leah, and brings her to him, and he goes in to her;
24 Kendo Laban nochiwo Zilpa jatichne ma nyako ne nyare, Lea, mondo obed jatichne.
and Laban gives his maidservant Zilpah to her, to his daughter Leah, [for] a maidservant.
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 comes to pass in the morning, that behold, it [is] Leah; and he says to Laban, “What [is] this you have done to me? Have I not served with you for Rachel? And why have you deceived me?”
26 Laban nodwoke niya, “Ok en timwa mondo nyako matin okuong odhi tedo ne nyako maduongʼ.
And Laban says, “It is not done so in our place, 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.”
fulfill the period of seven [for] this one, and we also give to you this one, for the service which you 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 does so, and fulfills the period of seven [for] this one, and he gives his daughter Rachel to him for a wife for him;
29 Laban nochiwo Bilha jatichne ma nyako ne Rael nyare kaka jatichne.
and Laban gives his maidservant Bilhah to his daughter Rachel for a maidservant for her.
30 Jakobo nobedoe achiel gi Rael bende kendo nohero Rael moloyo Lea. Kendo notiyone Laban higni abiriyo moko kendo.
And he also goes in to Rachel, and he also loves Rachel more than Leah; and he serves 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 YHWH sees that Leah [is] the hated one, and He opens her womb, and Rachel [is] 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 conceives, and bears a son, and calls his name Reuben, for she said, “Because YHWH has looked on my affliction; because now does my husband 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 conceives again, and bears a son, and says, “Because YHWH has heard that I [am] the hated one, He also gives to me even this [one]”; and she calls 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 conceives again and bears a son, and says, “Now [is] the time, my husband is joined to me, because I have born to him three sons,” therefore has [one] 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 she conceives again and bears a son, and this time says, “I praise YHWH”; therefore has she called his name Judah; and she ceases from bearing.
