Chakruok 30
1 Kane Rael oneno nine ok nywolne Jakobo nyithindo, nyiego nomake gi nyamin mare. Kuom mano nowacho ne Jakobo niya, “Miya nyithindo, nono to abiro tho!”
And Rachel, seeing herself without children, envied her sister, and said to her husband: Give me children, otherwise I shall die.
2 Jakobo nokecho gi Rael kendo nowachone niya, “Iparo ni an e Nyasaye mosetami nywolo nyithindo?”
And Jacob being angry with her, answered: Am I as God, who hath deprived thee of the fruit of thy womb?
3 Eka Rael nowacho ne Jakobo niya, “Eri amiyi Bilha ma jatichna ma nyako. Kawe ibed kode e achiel mondo mi onywolna nyithindo mondo omi kokadho kuome an bende abed gi joga.”
But she said: I have here my servant Bala: go in unto her, that she may bear upon my knees, and I may have children by her.
4 Omiyo nomiye Bilha jatichne obedo chiege. Jakobo nobedo kode achiel,
And she gave him Bala in marriage: who,
5 mi Bilha nomako ich kendo nonywolone Jakobo wuowi.
When her husband had gone in unto her, conceived and bore a son.
6 Eka Rael nowacho niya, “Nyasaye osengʼadona bura; osewinjo kwayona mi omiya nyathi ma wuowi.” Omiyo nochake ni Dan.
And Rachel said: The Lord hath judged for me, and hath heard my voice, giving me a son, and therefore she called his name Dan.
7 Bilha ma jatich Rael nochako omako ich kendo nonywolo ne Jakobo wuowi mar ariyo.
And again Bala conceived and bore another,
8 Eka Rael nowacho niya, “Asebedo gi chandruok maduongʼ gi nyamera, kendo koro aseloyo.” Omiyo nochako nyathini ni Naftali.
For whom Rachel said: God hath compared me with my sister, and I have prevailed: and she called him Nephtali.
9 Kane Lea ofwenyo ni ok onyal nywolo nyithindo kendo nokawo Zilpa jatichne ma nyako, nomiye Jakobo mondo okawe kaka chiege.
Lia, perceiving that she had left off bearing, gave Zelpha her handmaid to her husband.
10 Zilpa ma jatich Lea nonywolo ne Jakobo wuowi.
And when she had conceived and brought forth a son,
11 Eka Lea nowacho niya, “An jahawi.” Omiyo nochako nyathino ni Gad.
She said: Happily. And therefore called his name Gad.
12 Zilpa jatich Lea nonywolo ne Jakobo wuowi mar ariyo.
Zelpha also bore another.
13 Eka Lea nowacho niya, “Amor manade! Mon biro luonga ni jahawi.” Omiyo nochake ni Asher.
And Lia said: This is for my happiness: for women will call me blessed. Therefore she called him Aser.
14 E ndalo kayo ngano, Reuben nodhi e puothe kendo noyudo olembe mag mandrake, mi nokelo ne Lea min mare. Rael nowacho ne Lea niya, “Kiyie to miya olemb mandrake ma wuodi Reuben okelonino.”
And Ruben, going out in the time of the wheat harvest into the field, found mandrakes: which he brought to his mother Lia. And Rachel said: Give me part of thy son’s mandrakes.
15 To nowachone niya, “Iparo ni kawo chwora en gima tin koso? Kendo pod idwaroe mandrake mag wuoda bende?” Rael nodwoke niya, “Mano ber, to kimiya mandrake mar wuodi to Jakobo wangʼ nonindo e odi kawuono otieno.”
She answered: Dost thou think it a small matter, that thou hast taken my husband from me, unless thou take also my son’s mandrakes? Rachel said: He shall sleep with thee this night, for thy son’s mandrakes.
16 Kane Jakobo odwogo koa e puodho godhiambono, Lea nodhi moromone. Lea nowachone niya, “Nyaka ibed koda e achiel kawuono, nikech asechulo nengo mar nindoni e oda gi mandrake mar wuoda.” Kuom mano Jakobo nobedoe achiel gi Lea otienono.
And when Jacob returned at even from the field, Lia went out to meet him, and said: Thou shalt come in unto me, because I have hired thee for my son’s mandrakes. And he slept with her that night.
17 Nyasaye nowinjo Lea kendo Lea nomako ich mi onywolone Jakobo wuowi mar abich.
And God heard her prayers: and she conceived and bore the fifth son,
18 Eka Lea nowacho niya, “Nyasaye osemiya pokna nikech nachiwo jatichna ma nyako ne chwora, omiyo nochake ni Isakar.”
And said: God hath given me a reward, because I gave my handmaid to my husband. And she called his name Issachar.
19 Lea nochako omako ich kendo nonywolone Jakobo wuowi mar auchiel.
And Lia conceived again, and bore the sixth son,
20 Eka Lea nowacho niya, “Nyasaye osedhiala gi mich ma nyangafu. Koro chwora biro gena nikech asenywolone yawuowi auchiel.” Omiyo nachake ni Zebulun.
And said: God hath endowed me with a good dowry: this turn also my husband will be with me, because I have borne him six sons: and therefore she called his name Zabulon.
21 Bangʼ kinde moko nonywolo nyako kendo nochake ni Dina.
After whom she bore a daughter, named Dina.
22 Eka Nyasaye noparo Rael, mi odwoko kwayone kendo ogwedhe gi nyathi.
The Lord also remembering Rachel, heard her, and opened her womb.
23 Rael nomako ich kendo nonywolo wuowi kendo nowacho niya, “Nyasaye osegolona wichkuot.”
And she conceived, and bore a son, saying: God hath taken away my reproach.
24 Nochako wuodeno ni Josef kendo owacho niya, “Mad Jehova Nyasaye meda wuowi machielo.”
And she called his name Joseph, saying: The Lord give me also another son.
25 Bangʼ ka Rael nosenywolo Josef, Jakobo nowacho ne Laban, “We adhi mondo adogi thurwa.
And when Joseph was born, Jacob said to his father in law: Send me away that I may return into my country, and to my land.
26 Miya monda kod nyithinda ma asebedo ka atiyonigo kendo weya adhi. Ingʼeyo tichna ma asetiyonigo.”
Give me my wives, and my children, for whom I have served thee, that I may depart: thou knowest the service that I have rendered thee.
27 To Laban nowachone niya, “Kapo ni ayudo ngʼwono e wangʼi to yie imed dak koda ka. Asefwenyo ma lingʼ-lingʼ ni Jehova Nyasaye osegwedha nikech in.”
Laban said to him: Let me find favour in thy sight: I have learned by experience, that God hath blessed me for thy sake.
28 Laban nomedo wachone niya, “Nyisa pok monego amiyi kendo abiro chuligi.”
Appoint thy wages which I shall give thee.
29 Jakobo nowachone niya, “Ingʼeyo kaka asetiyoni kendo kaka aserito jambi.
But he answered: Thou knowest how I have served thee, and how great thy possession hath been in my hands.
30 Jamni matin mane in-go kapok abiro osemedore ahinya, kendo Jehova Nyasaye osegwedhi e gik moko duto ma asetimo. To koro anatine oda awuon karangʼo?”
Thou hadst but little before I came to thee, and now thou art become rich: and the Lord hath blessed thee at my coming. It is reasonable therefore that I should now provide also for my own house.
31 Laban nopenje, “Angʼo ma damiyi.” Jakobo nodwoke niya, “Kik imiya gimoro amora. To ka ihero to timna gimoro achiel, abiro dhi nyime gi kwayo kendo rito jambi.
And Laban said: What shall I give thee? But he said: I require nothing: but if thou wilt do what I demand, I will feed, and keep thy sheep again.
32 Kawuono abiro wuotho ei jambi duto kendo abiro walo diek gi rombe ma kitgi rabok kod mago ma angʼech gi mago maratengʼ. Magi ema nobed chudo maga.
Go round through all thy flocks, and separate all the sheep of divers colours, and speckled: and all that is brown and spotted, and of divers colours, as well among the sheep, as among the goats, shall be my wages.
33 Timna makare nobed janeno e ndalo mabiro kendo, e sa asaya ma ibiro rango pok ma isechula. Diel moro amora ma ok angʼech kata dibo kata nyarombo ma ok ratengʼ manoyud e kindgi nokwan ka gima okwal.”
And my justice shall answer for me tomorrow before thee when the time of the bargain shall come: and all that is not of divers colours, and spotted, and brown, as well among the sheep as among the goats, shall accuse me of theft.
34 Laban nodwoke niya, “Ayie, obed kaka iwachono.”
And Laban said: I like well what thou demandest.
35 Odiechiengʼno Laban nowalo nywogi duto ma kitgi rabok kod mago ma angʼech, gi diek mamon (ma dikiyo) kod nyirombe marotenge mine oketogi e lwet yawuote mondo oritgi.
And he separated the same day the she goats, and the sheep, and the he goats, and the rams of divers colours, and spotted: and all the flock of one colour, that is, of white and black fleece, he delivered into the hands of his sons.
36 Eka Laban noketo thuolo e kinde gi Jakobo madirom wuodh ndalo adek Jakobo to ne odongʼ kakwayo romb Laban mane odongʼ.
And he set the space of three days’ journey betwixt himself and his son in law, who fed the rest of his flock.
37 Kata kamano, Jakobo nokawo kete moko mag omburi, gi oyungu kod yiende makorgi poth mi nopoko kuonde moko e korgi mondo igi marachar onen.
And Jacob took green rods of poplar, and of almond, and of plane trees, and pilled them in part: so when the bark was taken off, in the parts that were pilled, there appeared whiteness: but the parts that were whole remained green: and by this means the colour was divers.
38 Eka noketo ketego ei karaya kama ne jamnigo modhoe, mondo omi ka jamnigo modho to gineno ketego ei pi. E kindego ema thuondi ne luwogie,
And he put them in the troughs, where the water was poured out: that when the flocks should come to drink, they might have the rods before their eyes, and in the sight of them might conceive.
39 e nyim ketego. Kendo neginywolo nyithindo ma kitgi rabok kod mago ma angʼech gi mago maratengʼ.
And it came to pass that in the very heat of coition, the sheep beheld the rods, and brought forth spotted, and of divers colours, and speckled.
40 Jakobo nopogo imbe mi oweyo mana mago ma kitgi rabok kod mago ma angʼech gi mago maratengʼ mondo oluw romb Laban. Mano e yo mane omedogo kwan jambe owuon bende ne ok oriwogi gi mek Laban.
And Jacob separated the flock, and put the rods in the troughs before the eyes of the rams: and all the white and the black were Laban’s: and the rest were Jacob’s, when the flocks were separated one from the other.
41 Sa asaya mane iluwo chiayo madhako, Jakobo ne keto ketego ei karaya mane gimodhoe mondo omi imbe oluwgi kanyo mi gimak ich,
So when the ewes went first to ram, Jacob put the rods in the troughs of water before the eyes of the rams, and of the ewes, that they might conceive while they were looking upon them:
42 to jamni mayom yom ne ok oket ochungʼ e nyim ketego. Omiyo jamni mayom yom ne gin mag Laban to mago motegno ne gin mag Jakobo.
But when the latter coming was, and the last conceiving, he did not put them. And those that were lateward, became Laban’s: and they of the first time, Jacob’s.
43 Ma nomiyo mwandu Jakobo omedore piyo ahinya kendo nobedogi kweth mag jamni mangʼeny gi jotich mamon, machwo, kod ngamia gi punde.
And the man was enriched exceedingly, and he had many flocks, maid servants and men servants, camels and asses.
