Genesis 29
1 Then Jacob went on his journey, and came to the land of the children of the east.
Jacob el fahsr liki acn sac ac som tulanya facl sin mwet layen nu kutulap.
2 He looked, and saw a well in the field, and saw three flocks of sheep lying there by it. For out of that well they watered the flocks. The stone on the well’s mouth was large.
El fahsr nwe liyauk lufin kof se inimae ac u tolu ke sheep oan mongla siska. Mwet uh elos kite sheep natulos ke kof in luf se inge. Oasr eot tupasrpasr lulap se sang afin luf sac.
3 There all the flocks were gathered. They rolled the stone from the well’s mouth, and watered the sheep, and put the stone back on the well’s mouth in its place.
Pacl se ma un sheep nukewa ac fahsreni uh, mwet karingin sheep inge ac epusla eot sac ac kiteya sheep natulos. Na toko elos fah sifil oakeang eot sac in afinya.
4 Jacob said to them, “My relatives, where are you from?” They said, “We are from Haran.”
Jacob el siyuk sin mwet liyaung sheep uh, “Kowos mwet ya?” Elos fahk, “Kut mwet Haran.”
5 He said to them, “Do you know Laban, the son of Nahor?” They said, “We know him.”
El siyuk selos, “Ku kowos etal Laban, su ac ma natul Nahor?” Ac elos fahk, “Aok, kut etal.”
6 He said to them, “Is it well with him?” They said, “It is well. See, Rachel, his daughter, is coming with the sheep.”
Na el siyuk, “Ac el fuka?” Elos topuk, “El ku na. Ngetot liye, tulik mutan se natul pa pwen un sheep natul fahsru ingo. El pa Rachel.”
7 He said, “Behold, it is still the middle of the day, not time to gather the livestock together. Water the sheep, and go and feed them.”
Jacob el fahk, “Liye, srakna infulwen len, soenna pacl in utukeni sheep uh. Kowos ku tia kiteya ke kof ac folokunulosla nu inima elos in mongo we?”
8 They said, “We cannot, until all the flocks are gathered together, and they roll the stone from the well’s mouth. Then we will water the sheep.”
Elos fahk, “Kut tia wi oru angan. Ac soaneyuk nwe ke na un sheep nukewa faseni, ac eot se inge ipisyukla, na kut fah sang kof nimalos.”
9 While he was yet speaking with them, Rachel came with her father’s sheep, for she kept them.
Ke Jacob el srakna kaskas nu selos, Rachel el tuku wi un sheep nutin papa tumal ah.
10 When Jacob saw Rachel the daughter of Laban, his mother’s brother, and the sheep of Laban, his mother’s brother, Jacob went near, and rolled the stone from the well’s mouth, and watered the flock of Laban his mother’s brother.
Ke Jacob el liyalak Rachel, el som nu ke lufin kof uh ac epusla eot sac, na sang kof nimen sheep natul Laban, su ma loun nina kial.
11 Jacob kissed Rachel, and lifted up his voice, and wept.
Na Jacob el ngok mutal Rachel, ac tung ke sripen engan lal.
12 Jacob told Rachel that he was her father’s relative, and that he was Rebekah’s son. She ran and told her father.
El fahkang nu sel, “Nga wen natul Rebecca, sou lun papa tomom.” Na Rachel el yula ac fahkang nu sin papa tumal ah.
13 When Laban heard the news of Jacob, his sister’s son, he ran to meet Jacob, and embraced him, and kissed him, and brought him to his house. Jacob told Laban all these things.
Ac ke papa sac lohng pweng kacl Jacob, mukul se nutin ma loul, el kasrusr som in sonol. El sruokilya ac ngok mutal, na el usalla nu in lohm sel. Ke Jacob el srumunang nu sel Laban ma nukewa ma sikyak nu sel ah,
14 Laban said to him, “Surely you are my bone and my flesh.” Jacob stayed with him for a month.
Laban el fahk, “Pwaye na pwaye lah kut srah sefanna.” Na Jacob el muta yorol malem se.
15 Laban said to Jacob, “Because you are my relative, should you therefore serve me for nothing? Tell me, what will your wages be?”
Laban el fahk nu sel Jacob, “Kut finne sou, kom fah tia orekma nu sik ke wangin molo. Nga ac akfalye nu sum fuka?”
16 Laban had two daughters. The name of the elder was Leah, and the name of the younger was Rachel.
Oasr acn luo natul Laban — inen ma se ma matu ah pa Leah, ac ma se ma srik ah pa Rachel.
17 Leah’s eyes were weak, but Rachel was beautiful in form and attractive.
Wo mutal Leah, tusruktu Rachel el arulana oasku ac wo pac lumahl.
18 Jacob loved Rachel. He said, “I will serve you seven years for Rachel, your younger daughter.”
Jacob el arulana lungse Rachel, ac el fahk, “Nga ac orekma nu sum yac itkosr, kom fin usalu Rachel kiuk.”
19 Laban said, “It is better that I give her to you, than that I should give her to another man. Stay with me.”
Laban el topuk, “Nga ac lungse eisalot nu sum liki na in eisalang nu sin kutena mwet saya. Tari, mutana yuruk.”
20 Jacob served seven years for Rachel. They seemed to him but a few days, for the love he had for her.
Jacob el orekma yac itkosr elan mau ku in eisal Rachel, ac ke sripen el lungse el yohk, yac itkosr sac oana in pacl na fototo se nu sel.
21 Jacob said to Laban, “Give me my wife, for my days are fulfilled, that I may go in to her.”
Na Jacob el fahk nu sel Laban, “Sun tari lusen pacl sac. Fuhlela nga in payukyak sin acn nutum.”
22 Laban gathered together all the men of the place, and made a feast.
Ouinge Laban el oru kufwen marut se ac suli mwet nukewa.
23 In the evening, he took Leah his daughter, and brought her to Jacob. He went in to her.
Tusruktu in fong sac, el tia usal Rachel, a el eisalang Leah nu sel Jacob, ac Jacob el ona yorol. (
24 Laban gave Zilpah his servant to his daughter Leah for a servant.
Laban el eisalang Zilpah, mutan kulansap lal, nu sel Leah, acn natul, tuh elan mutan kulansap lal.)
25 In the morning, behold, it was Leah! He said to Laban, “What is this you have done to me? Did not I serve with you for Rachel? Why then have you deceived me?”
Jacob el tiana etu nwe ke lotutang tok ah lah Leah pa oan yorol ah. El som nu yorol Laban ac fahk, “Efu kom ku oru ange nu sik? Nga orekma kacl Rachel, na efu kom ku kiapweyula?”
26 Laban said, “It is not done so in our place, to give the younger before the firstborn.
Laban el fahk, “Ouiya lasr uh, kut tia ku in sang el su srik in payukyak meet liki el su matu.
27 Fulfill the week of this one, and we will give you the other also for the service which you will serve with me for seven more years.”
Tupan in safla wik in akfulat lun marut uh, na nga fah eisalot Rachel nu sum, kom fin sifilpa orekma luk ke yac itkosr.”
28 Jacob did so, and fulfilled her week. He gave him Rachel his daughter as wife.
Jacob el insese nu kac, ac ke safla wik in akfulat ke marut uh, Laban el eisalang Rachel, acn natul, tuh elan mutan pac kial. (
29 Laban gave Bilhah, his servant, to his daughter Rachel to be her servant.
Laban el eisalang Bilhah, mutan kulansap lal, nu sel Rachel, acn natul, tuh elan mutan kulansap lal.)
30 He went in also to Rachel, and he loved also Rachel more than Leah, and served with him seven more years.
Jacob el ona yorol Rachel pac, ac el lungse Rachel yohk lukel Leah. Ouinge el sifilpa orekma nu sel Laban ke yac itkosr pac.
31 The LORD saw that Leah was hated, and he opened her womb, but Rachel was barren.
Ke LEUM GOD El liye lah srik lungse lal Jacob nu sel Leah lukel Rachel, El oru tuh in oasr tulik natul Leah, a funu Rachel, wangin tulik natul.
32 Leah conceived, and bore a son, and she named him Reuben. For she said, “Because the LORD has looked at my affliction; for now my husband will love me.”
Leah el pitutuyak ac oswela wen se. El fahk, “LEUM GOD El liye keok luk, ac inge mukul tumuk uh ac fah lungsela nga.” Ouinge el sang inen tulik sac Reuben.
33 She conceived again, and bore a son, and said, “Because the LORD has heard that I am hated, he has therefore given me this son also.” She named him Simeon.
El sifilpa pitutuyak ac oswela pac wen se. El fahk, “LEUM GOD El ase pac wen se inge nutik, mweyen El lohng lah srungayuk na nga.” Ke ma inge el sang inen tulik sac Simeon.
34 She conceived again, and bore a son. She said, “Now this time my husband will be joined to me, because I have borne him three sons.” Therefore his name was called Levi.
El sifilpa pitutuyak ac oswela pac wen se. Na el fahk, “Inge mukul tumuk uh ac arulana kupasrme nu sik liki na meet ah, mweyen nga osweang wen tolu nu sel.” Ke ma inge el sang inen wen sac Levi.
35 She conceived again, and bore a son. She said, “This time I will praise the LORD.” Therefore she named him Judah. Then she stopped bearing.
Toko el sifilpa pitutuyak ac oswela wen se. Ac el fahk, “Inge nga fah kaksakin LEUM GOD.” Ouinge el sang inen wen sac Judah. Na wotyak isus lal uh.
