Genesis 30
1 When Rachel saw that she bore Jacob no children, Rachel envied her sister. She said to Jacob, “Give me children, or else I will die.”
Rechel hụrụ na ya amụghị nwa ọbụla nye Jekọb, o kworo ekworo megide nwanne ya nwanyị. Ya mere, ọ sịrị Jekọb, “Nye m ụmụ. Ọ bụrụ na i meghị otu a, aga m anwụ.”
2 Jacob’s anger burned against Rachel, and he said, “Am I in God’s place, who has withheld from you the fruit of the womb?”
Jekọb were iwe megide Rechel, sị ya, “Abụ m Chineke onye gbochiri gị mkpụrụ nke afọ?”
3 She said, “Behold, my maid Bilhah. Go in to her, that she may bear on my knees, and I also may obtain children by her.”
Mgbe ahụ Rechel gwara Jekọb sị ya, “Lee odibo m nwanyị Bilha, bakwuru ya ka ọ mụọ nwa nʼikpere m abụọ, ka mụ onwe m site na ya bụrụkwa onye mụtara ụmụ.”
4 She gave him Bilhah her servant as wife, and Jacob went in to her.
Rechel nyere Jekọb Bilha, odibo nwanyị ya, Jekọb bakwuuru ya.
5 Bilhah conceived, and bore Jacob a son.
Bilha tụụrụ ime mụọra Jekọb nwa nwoke.
6 Rachel said, “God has judged me, and has also heard my voice, and has given me a son.” Therefore she called his name Dan.
Nke a mere ka Rechel kwuo sị, “Chineke ekpepụtala m. Ọ nụla arịrịọ m nye m nwa nwoke.” Nʼihi nke a, Rechel gụrụ nwa ahụ Dan.
7 Bilhah, Rachel’s servant, conceived again, and bore Jacob a second son.
Bilha, odibo nwanyị Rechel, tụụrụ ime ọzọ mụtara Jekọb nwa nwoke nke abụọ.
8 Rachel said, “I have wrestled with my sister with mighty wrestlings, and have prevailed.” She named him Naphtali.
Rechel kwuru sị, “Mgba dị ukwuu ka mụ na nwanne m nwanyị gbara, m merie.” Ọ kpọọ ya Naftalị.
9 When Leah saw that she had finished bearing, she took Zilpah, her servant, and gave her to Jacob as a wife.
Lịa hụrụ na ya akwụsịla ịmụ nwa, ọ kpọọrọ Zilpa, odibo ya nwanyị kpọnye Jekọb ka ọ bụrụ nwunye ya.
10 Zilpah, Leah’s servant, bore Jacob a son.
Zilpa, odibo nwanyị Lịa, mụtara Jekọb nwa nwoke.
11 Leah said, “How fortunate!” She named him Gad.
Mgbe nke a mere, Lịa kwuru sị, “Nke a bụ ihuọma.” Ọ kpọrọ nwa ahụ Gad.
12 Zilpah, Leah’s servant, bore Jacob a second son.
Zilpa, odibo nwanyị Lịa mụtaara Jekọb nwa nwoke nke abụọ.
13 Leah said, “Happy am I, for the daughters will call me happy.” She named him Asher.
Mgbe ahụ Lịa kwuru sị, “Ọṅụ ejula m obi, nʼihi na ụmụ nwanyị ibe m ga-akpọ m onye ihe na-agara nke ọma.” Lịa kpọrọ nwantakịrị nwoke ahụ Asha.
14 Reuben went in the days of wheat harvest, and found mandrakes in the field, and brought them to his mother, Leah. Then Rachel said to Leah, “Please give me some of your son’s mandrakes.”
Otu ụbọchị, nʼoge a na-aghọ ọka wiiti, Ruben nwa Lịa, gara nʼọhịa hụ ahịhịa a na-akpọ mandreki. Ọ kụtaara nne ya ụfọdụ nʼime ahịhịa a. Mgbe Rechel hụrụ ahịhịa a, ọ rịọrọ Lịa sị ya, “Biko nyetụ m ụfọdụ nʼime mandreki ndị a nwa gị nwoke kụtara.”
15 Leah said to her, “Is it a small matter that you have taken away my husband? Would you take away my son’s mandrakes, also?” Rachel said, “Therefore he will lie with you tonight for your son’s mandrakes.”
Ma Lịa zara sị ya, “O zubeere gị na ị napụrụ m di m? Ị chọkwara ịnapụ m mandreki ndị a nwa m nwoke wetaara m?” Rechel zara Lịa sị, “Ọ dị mma, ka gị na ya dinaa nʼabalị a ka ọ bụrụ ihe mgbanwo maka mandreki nwa gị nwoke.”
16 Jacob came from the field in the evening, and Leah went out to meet him, and said, “You must come in to me; for I have surely hired you with my son’s mandrakes.” He lay with her that night.
Ya mere, mgbe Jekọb si nʼọhịa na-alọbata nʼuhuruchi ụbọchị ahụ, Lịa pụrụ izute ya, sị ya, “Ị ga-abakwute m nʼihi na m ejirila m ahịhịa mandreki nwa m nwoke m zụta gị.” Ha dinara nʼabalị ahụ.
17 God listened to Leah, and she conceived, and bore Jacob a fifth son.
Chineke nụrụ olu Lịa, ọ tụụrụ ime mụtara Jekọb nwa nwoke nke ise.
18 Leah said, “God has given me my hire, because I gave my servant to my husband.” She named him Issachar.
Lịa sịrị, “Chineke akwụọla m ụgwọ maka odibo m nwanyị m nyere di m.” Ya mere ọ kpọrọ aha ya Isaka.
19 Leah conceived again, and bore a sixth son to Jacob.
Lịa tụkwaara ime ọzọ mụtara Jekọb nwa nwoke nke isii.
20 Leah said, “God has endowed me with a good dowry. Now my husband will live with me, because I have borne him six sons.” She named him Zebulun.
Ugbu a Lịa kwuru sị, “Chineke enyela m ezi onyinye dị oke ọnụ. Ugbu a, di m ga-eji nkwanye ugwu leta m nʼihi na amụọrala m ya ụmụ ndị ikom isii.” Ọ kpọrọ aha ya Zebụlọn.
21 Afterwards, she bore a daughter, and named her Dinah.
Emesịa, Lịa mụrụ nwa nwanyị, kpọọ ya Daịna.
22 God remembered Rachel, and God listened to her, and opened her womb.
Chineke chetara Rechel. Ọ nụrụ olu ya, meghee akpanwa ya.
23 She conceived, bore a son, and said, “God has taken away my reproach.”
Nʼihi ya, Rechel tụụrụ ime mụta nwa nwoke. Ọ sịrị, “Chineke ewepụla nkọcha dịịrị m.”
24 She named him Joseph, saying, “May the LORD add another son to me.”
Rechel kpọrọ aha ya Josef, dị ka ọ sịrị, “Ka Onyenwe anyị nyekwa m nwa nwoke ọzọ.”
25 When Rachel had borne Joseph, Jacob said to Laban, “Send me away, that I may go to my own place, and to my country.
Mgbe Rechel mụsịrị Josef, Jekọb jekwuru Leban sị ya, “Zilaga m ka m laghachi nʼebe m na ala nke m.
26 Give me my wives and my children for whom I have served you, and let me go; for you know my service with which I have served you.”
Kpọnye m ndị nwunye m, ndị m ji nʼihi ha gbara gị odibo, ha na ụmụ m, ka m lakwaa. Ị maara otu m siri gbaara gị odibo. Kpọnye m ha ka m duru ha laghachi ebe m si bịa.”
27 Laban said to him, “If now I have found favor in your eyes, stay here, for I have divined that the LORD has blessed me for your sake.”
Leban sịrị Jekọb, “Ọ bụrụ na m achọtala amara nʼihu gị biko nọdụ, nʼihi na esi m nʼịgba afa chọpụta na Onyenwe anyị agọziela m nʼihi gị.”
28 He said, “Appoint me your wages, and I will give it.”
Leban sịrị, “Kwuo ego ole ị chọrọ ka m kwụọ gị, aga m akwụ ya.”
29 Jacob said to him, “You know how I have served you, and how your livestock have fared with me.
Jekọb zara sị Leban, “Gị onwe gị maara otu m si gbara gị odibo na ihe mere igwe anụ ụlọ gị ndị m lekọtara.
30 For it was little which you had before I came, and it has increased to a multitude. The LORD has blessed you wherever I turned. Now when will I provide for my own house also?”
Nʼihi na ole na ole ka i nwere mgbe m bịara, ma ugbu a, ha abaala ụba nke ukwuu. Onyenwe anyị esitela nʼụkwụ m gọzie gị. Ugbu a, kedụ mgbe m ga-arụkwanụ ọrụ nke mụ onwe m maka ezinaụlọ m?”
31 Laban said, “What shall I give you?” Jacob said, “You shall not give me anything. If you will do this thing for me, I will again feed your flock and keep it.
Leban jụrụ Jekọb sị, “Kedụ ihe m ga-enye gị?” Jekọb gwara ya sị, “Enyela m ihe ọbụla, kama o nwere otu ihe m chọrọ ka i mee. Ọ bụrụ na i mee ya, aga m alaghachi ilekọta igwe anụ ụlọ gị.
32 I will pass through all your flock today, removing from there every speckled and spotted one, and every black one among the sheep, and the spotted and speckled among the goats. This will be my hire.
Kwere ka m jegharịa nʼetiti igwe anụ ụlọ gị, ka m họpụta site nʼetiti igwe atụrụ gị ndị niile tụrụ agwa agwa, na ụmụ atụrụ niile dị oji, na ewu niile tụrụ agwa agwa. Atụrụ na ewu ndị a niile m ga-ahọpụta ga-abụ ụgwọ ọrụ m.
33 So my righteousness will answer for me hereafter, when you come concerning my hire that is before you. Every one that is not speckled and spotted among the goats, and black among the sheep, that might be with me, will be considered stolen.”
Ezi omume m ga-azara nʼọdịnihu, mgbe ọbụla ị bịara nyochaa ụgwọ ọrụ ị kwụrụ m. Ewu ọbụla na-atụghị agwa agwa, maọbụ atụrụ ọbụla na-ejighị oji ị chọpụtara nʼetiti igwe ewu na atụrụ nke m ka a ga-agụ dị ka ihe e zuru nʼohi.”
34 Laban said, “Behold, let it be according to your word.”
Leban zara sị ya, “Ọ dị mma. Ya dịrị dịka i kwuru.”
35 That day, he removed the male goats that were streaked and spotted, and all the female goats that were speckled and spotted, every one that had white in it, and all the black ones among the sheep, and gave them into the hand of his sons.
Nʼotu ụbọchị ahụ, ọ họpụtachara mkpi niile tụrụ agwa maọbụ ntụpọ na nne ewu niile ndị nwere tụrụ agwa maọbụ ntụpọ na nke ọbụla nwere ajị ọcha nʼahụ ya. Ọ họpụtakwara atụrụ ojii niile, nyefee ha nʼaka ụmụ ya ka ha lekọtaa ha.
36 He set three days’ journey between himself and Jacob, and Jacob fed the rest of Laban’s flocks.
Leban jere ije abalị atọ nke kewapụrụ ha site nʼebe Jekọb nọ. Ma Jekọb nọgidere na-elekọta igwe anụ ụlọ Leban ndị ọzọ.
37 Jacob took to himself rods of fresh poplar, almond, and plane tree, peeled white streaks in them, and made the white appear which was in the rods.
Mgbe ahụ Jekọb gara gbute ngalaba osisi pọpla, na osisi alụmọnd, na osisi plenụ, kpechapụ ahụ agbụgbọ osisi ndị a, si otu a mee ka ime ime ngalaba osisi ndị a dị ọcha pụta ìhè.
38 He set the rods which he had peeled opposite the flocks in the watering troughs where the flocks came to drink. They conceived when they came to drink.
Ọ tọgbọrọ osisi ndị a o kpechapụtara nʼebe ewu na atụrụ ndị a na-aṅụ mmiri, ka ha cherịta ịhụ ebe igwe anụ ụlọ ndị a nọ mgbe ọbụla ha na-aṅụ mmiri. Nke a mere mgbe igwe anụ ụlọ ndị a na-enwe ekpomọkụ nke ịgba ibe ha, nʼoge ha bịara ịṅụ mmiri,
39 The flocks conceived before the rods, and the flocks produced streaked, speckled, and spotted.
ọ bụ nʼihu ngalaba osisi ndị a ka ha na-anọ na-agba onwe ha. Mgbe anụ ụlọ ndị a mụrụ ụmụ, ahụ ụmụ ha na-atụ agwa agwa maọbụ nwe ntụpọ.
40 Jacob separated the lambs, and set the faces of the flocks toward the streaked and all the black in Laban’s flock. He put his own droves apart, and did not put them into Laban’s flock.
Jekọb na-edo ụmụ igwe ewu na atụrụ ndị a nʼotu akụkụ, ma ọ na-eme ka anụ ụlọ ndị ọzọ chee ihu ha nʼanụ ụlọ Leban ndị tụrụ agwa agwa, maọbụ na-eji oji. Nʼụzọ dị otu a, ọ kewapụtaara onwe ya anụ ụlọ nke ya. O tinyekọtaghị ha nʼanụ ụlọ Leban.
41 Whenever the stronger of the flock conceived, Jacob laid the rods in front of the eyes of the flock in the watering troughs, that they might conceive among the rods;
Mgbe ọbụla nne anụ ụlọ ndị ahụ siri ike nọ nʼọnọdụ ịtụrụ ime, Jekọb na-edobe ngalaba osisi ndị ahụ nʼakụkụ ebe ha na-aṅụ mmiri nʼihu ha, ka ha nọrọ nʼebe ahụ gbaa onwe ha.
42 but when the flock were feeble, he did not put them in. So the feebler were Laban’s, and the stronger Jacob’s.
Ma ọ bụrụ na anụ ụlọ ndị ahụ adịghị ike, Jekọb anaghị edebe osisi ndị a nʼihu ha. Ya mere, igwe ewu na atụrụ ndị na-esighị ike gaara Leban. Ma ndị siri ike gaara Jekọb.
43 The man increased exceedingly, and had large flocks, female servants and male servants, and camels and donkeys.
Site nʼụzọ dị otu a, Jekọb ghọrọ onye nwere akụ hie nne. O nwekwara ọtụtụ igwe anụ ụlọ na ọtụtụ ndị na-ejere ya ozi nwoke na nwanyị, na ọtụtụ ịnyịnya kamel, na ọtụtụ ịnyịnya ibu ndị ọzọ.
