Genesis 30
1 Now Rachel, because she had no children, was full of envy of her sister; and she said to Jacob, If you do not give me children I will not go on living.
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 But Jacob was angry with Rachel, and said, Am I in the place of God, who has kept your body from having fruit?
Jekọb were iwe megide Rechel, sị ya, “Abụ m Chineke onye gbochiri gị mkpụrụ nke afọ?”
3 Then she said, Here is my servant Bilhah, go in to her, so that she may have a child on my knees, and I may have a family 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 So she gave him her servant Bilhah as a wife, and Jacob went in to her.
Rechel nyere Jekọb Bilha, odibo nwanyị ya, Jekọb bakwuuru ya.
5 And Bilhah became with child, and gave birth to a son.
Bilha tụụrụ ime mụọra Jekọb nwa nwoke.
6 Then Rachel said, God has been my judge, and has given ear to my voice, and has given me a son; so he was named 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 And again Bilhah, Rachel's servant, was with child, and gave birth to a second son.
Bilha, odibo nwanyị Rechel, tụụrụ ime ọzọ mụtara Jekọb nwa nwoke nke abụọ.
8 And Rachel said, I have had a great fight with my sister, and I have overcome her: and she gave the child the name Naphtali.
Rechel kwuru sị, “Mgba dị ukwuu ka mụ na nwanne m nwanyị gbara, m merie.” Ọ kpọọ ya Naftalị.
9 When it was clear to Leah that she would have no more children for a time, she gave Zilpah, her servant, 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 And Zilpah, Leah's servant, gave birth to a son.
Zilpa, odibo nwanyị Lịa, mụtara Jekọb nwa nwoke.
11 And Leah said, It has gone well for me: and she gave him the name Gad.
Mgbe nke a mere, Lịa kwuru sị, “Nke a bụ ihuọma.” Ọ kpọrọ nwa ahụ Gad.
12 And Zilpah, Leah's servant, gave birth to a second son.
Zilpa, odibo nwanyị Lịa mụtaara Jekọb nwa nwoke nke abụọ.
13 And Leah said, Happy am I! and all women will give witness to my joy: and she gave him the name 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 Now at the time of the grain-cutting, Reuben saw some love-fruits in the field, and took them to his mother Leah. And Rachel said to her, Let me have some of your son's love-fruits.
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 But Leah said to her, Is it a small thing that you have taken my husband from me? and now would you take my son's love-fruits? Then Rachel said, You may have him tonight in exchange for your son's love-fruits.
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 In the evening, when Jacob came in from the field, Leah went out to him and said, Tonight you are to come to me, for I have given my son's love-fruits as a price for you. And he went in to 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 And God gave ear to her and she became with child, and gave Jacob a fifth son.
Chineke nụrụ olu Lịa, ọ tụụrụ ime mụtara Jekọb nwa nwoke nke ise.
18 Then Leah said, God has made payment to me for giving my servant-girl to my husband: so she gave her son the name Issachar.
Lịa sịrị, “Chineke akwụọla m ụgwọ maka odibo m nwanyị m nyere di m.” Ya mere ọ kpọrọ aha ya Isaka.
19 And again Leah became with child, and she gave Jacob a sixth son.
Lịa tụkwaara ime ọzọ mụtara Jekọb nwa nwoke nke isii.
20 And she said, God has given me a good bride-price; now at last will I have my husband living with me, for I have given him six sons: and she gave him the name 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 After that she had a daughter, to whom she gave the name Dinah.
Emesịa, Lịa mụrụ nwa nwanyị, kpọọ ya Daịna.
22 Then God gave thought to Rachel, and hearing her prayer he made her fertile.
Chineke chetara Rechel. Ọ nụrụ olu ya, meghee akpanwa ya.
23 And she was with child, and gave birth to a son: and she said, God has taken away my shame.
Nʼihi ya, Rechel tụụrụ ime mụta nwa nwoke. Ọ sịrị, “Chineke ewepụla nkọcha dịịrị m.”
24 And she gave him the name Joseph, saying, May the Lord give me another son.
Rechel kpọrọ aha ya Josef, dị ka ọ sịrị, “Ka Onyenwe anyị nyekwa m nwa nwoke ọzọ.”
25 Now after the birth of Joseph, Jacob said to Laban, Let me go away to my place and 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 been your servant, and let me go: for you have knowledge of all the work I have done for 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 And Laban said, If you will let me say so, do not go away; for I have seen by the signs that the Lord has been good to me because of you.
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 Say then what your payment is to be and I will give it.
Leban sịrị, “Kwuo ego ole ị chọrọ ka m kwụọ gị, aga m akwụ ya.”
29 Then Jacob said, You have seen what I have done for you, and how your cattle have done well under my care.
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 before I came you had little, and it has been greatly increased; and the Lord has given you a blessing in everything I have done; but when am I to do something for my family?
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 And Laban said, What am I to give you? And Jacob said, Do not give me anything; but I will again take up the care of your flock if you will only do this for me:
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 Let me go through all your flock today, taking out from among them all the sheep which are marked or coloured or black, and all the marked or coloured goats: these will be my payment.
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 And so you will be able to put my honour to the test in time to come; if you see among my flocks any goats which are not marked or coloured, or any sheep which is not black, you may take me for a thief.
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 And Laban said, Let it be as you say.
Leban zara sị ya, “Ọ dị mma. Ya dịrị dịka i kwuru.”
35 So that day he took all the he-goats which were banded or coloured, and all the she-goats which were marked or coloured or had white marks, and all the black sheep, and gave them into the care 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 And sent them three days' journey away: and Jacob took care of the rest of Laban's flock.
Leban jere ije abalị atọ nke kewapụrụ ha site nʼebe Jekọb nọ. Ma Jekọb nọgidere na-elekọta igwe anụ ụlọ Leban ndị ọzọ.
37 Then Jacob took young branches of trees, cutting off the skin so that the white wood was seen in bands.
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 And he put the banded sticks in the drinking-places where the flock came to get water; and they became with young when they came to the water.
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 And because of this, the flock gave birth to young which were marked with bands of colour.
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 These lambs Jacob kept separate; and he put his flock in a place by themselves and not with 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 And whenever the stronger ones of the flock became with young, Jacob put the sticks in front of them in the drinking-places, so that they might become with young when they saw the sticks.
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 flocks were feeble, he did not put the sticks before them; so that the feebler flocks were Laban's and the stronger were 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 So Jacob's wealth was greatly increased; he had great flocks and women-servants and men-servants and camels and asses.
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.
