Genesis 29
1 And Jacob started and went to the land of the east to Laban, the son of Bathuel the Syrian, and the brother of Rebecca, mother of Jacob and Esau.
Na ka turia atu e Hakopa, ka haere ki te whenua o nga tangata o te rawhiti.
2 And he looks, and behold! a well in the plain; and there were there three flocks of sheep resting at it, for out of that well they watered the flocks, but there was a great stone at the mouth of the well.
Na ka titiro atu ia, a ka kite i tetahi poka i te parae, na, ko etahi kahui hipi e toru e takoto ana i te taha; i whakainumia hoki e ratou nga kahui ki te wai o taua poka: he nui hoki te kohatu i te waha o te poka.
3 And there were all the flocks gathered, and they used to roll away the stone from the mouth of the well, and water the flocks, and set the stone again in its place on the mouth of the well.
I huihuia hoki ki reira nga kahui katoa: a whakataka atu ana e ratou te kohatu i te waha o te poka, kia whakainumia ai nga hipi, na ka whakahokia ano e ratou te kohatu ki te waha o te poka, ki tona wahi.
4 And Jacob said to them, Brethren, whence are you? and they said, We are of Charrhan.
Na ka mea a Hakopa ki a ratou, E oku tuakana, no hea koutou? A ka mea ratou, No Harana matou.
5 And he said to them, Know you Laban, the son of Nachor? and they said, We do know [him].
Na ka mea ia ki a ratou, E mohio ana ianei koutou ki a Rapana, tama a Nahora? Ka mea ratou, E mohio ana ano matou.
6 And he said to them, Is he well? And they said, He is well. And behold Rachel his daughter came with the sheep.
A ka mea ia ki a ratou, E ora ana ranei ia? Ka mea ratou, E ora ana ano: ko Rahera ano tenei, ko tana tamahine te haere mai nei me nga hipi.
7 And Jacob said, it is yet high day, it is not yet time that the flocks be gathered together; water you the flocks, and depart and feed them.
Na ka mea ia, Nana, he nui ano te ra, ehara tenei i te wa hei huihuinga mai mo nga kararehe: whakainumia nga hipi, haere hoki ki te whangai.
8 And they said, We shall not be able, until all the shepherds be gathered together, and they shall roll away the stone from the mouth of the well, then we will water the flocks.
Na ka mea ratou, E kore e taea e matou, kia huihuia mai ra ano nga kahui katoa, kia whakataka hoki e ratou te kohatu i te waha o te poka; katahi ka whakainu matou i nga hipi.
9 While he was yet speaking to them, behold, Rachel the daughter of Laban came with her father's sheep, for she fed the sheep of her father.
I a ia ano e korero ana ki a ratou, ka puta mai a Rahera me nga hipi a tona papa: ko ia hoki te kaiwhangai.
10 And it came to pass when Jacob saw Rachel the daughter of Laban, his mother's brother, and the sheep of Laban, his mother's brother, that Jacob came and rolled away the stone from the mouth of the well, and watered the sheep of Laban, his mother's brother.
A, no te kitenga o Hakopa i a Rahera tamahine a Rapana, tungane o tona whaea, me nga hipi hoki a Rapana, tungane o tona whaea, na ka haere a Hakopa, a whakataka atu ana e ia te kohatu i te waha o te poka, whakainumia ana e ia nga hipi a Rapana, tungane o tona whaea.
11 And Jacob kissed Rachel, and cried with a loud voice and wept.
Na ka kihi a Hakopa i a Rahera, a nui atu tona reo ki te tangi.
12 And he told Rachel that he was the near relative of her father, and the son of Rebecca; and she ran and reported to her father according to these words.
Na ka whakaaturia e Hakopa ki a Rahera ko ia te iramutu o tona papa, he tama hoki na Ripeka: a ka rere ia ki te korero ki tona papa.
13 And it came to pass when Laban heard the name of Jacob, his sister's son, he ran to meet him, and embraced and kissed him, and brought him into his house; and he told Laban all these sayings.
Na, i te taenga atu ki a Rapana o te rongo o Hakopa, tama a tona tuahine, ka rere ia ki te whakatau i a ia, ka awhi i a ia, ka kihi hoki i a ia, a kawea ana ki tona whare. A ka korerotia e ia enei mea katoa ki a Rapana.
14 And Laban said to him, You are of my bones and of my flesh; and he was with him a full month.
Na ka mea a Rapana ki a ia, He pono ko toku whenua, ko toku kikokiko koe. A kotahi te marama i noho ai ia ki a ia.
15 And Laban said to Jacob, Surely you shall not serve me for nothing, because you are my brother; tell me what your reward is to be.
Na ka mea a Rapana ki a Hakopa, No te mea ko taku iramutu koe, me mahi noa ano koe ki ahau? korero mai ki ahau, me aha he utu mou?
16 Now Laban had two daughters, the name of the elder was Lea, and the name of the younger, Rachel.
Na tokorua nga tamahine a Rapana: ko te ingoa o te tuakana ko Rea, ko te ingoa hoki o te teina ko Rahera.
17 And the eyes of Lea were weak. But Rachel was beautiful in appearance, and exceedingly fair in countenance.
He papahewa nga kanohi o Rea; he mea ahuareka ia a Rahera, he ataahua hoki ki te titiro atu.
18 And Jacob loved Rachel, and said, I will serve you seven years for your younger daughter Rachel.
Na i aroha a Hakopa ki a Rahera; a ka mea ia, Kia whitu nga tau e mahi ai ahau ki a koe mo Rahera, mo tau tamahine o muri.
19 And Laban said to him, [It is] better that I should give her to you, than that I should give her to another man; dwell with me.
Na ka mea a Rapana, Engari te hoatu e ahau ki a koe, kei hoatu ki te tangata ke: e noho ki ahau.
20 And Jacob served for Rachel seven years, and they were before him as a few days, by reason of his loving her.
Na e whitu nga tau i mahi ai a Hakopa mo Rahera; a he rangi torutoru noa ake te rite o aua tau ki tona whakaaro, i tona aroha ki a ia.
21 And Jacob said to Laban, Give me my wife, for my days are fulfilled, that I may go in to her.
Na ka mea a Hakopa ki a Rapana, Homai taku wahine, kua rite nei hoki oku ra, kia haere ahau ki roto, ki a ia.
22 And Laban gathered together all the men of the place, and made a marriage-feast.
Na ka huihuia mai e Rapana nga tangata katoa o taua wahi, a tukua ana e ia he hakari.
23 And it was even, and he took his daughter Lea, and brought her in to Jacob, and Jacob went in to her.
A, i te ahiahi ka mau ia ki a Rea ki tana tamahine, a kawea ana ia ki a ia; a ka haere ia ki roto, ki a ia.
24 And Laban gave to his daughter Lea, Zelpha his handmaid, as a handmaid for her.
A i hoatu e Rapana a Tiripa, tana pononga wahine, hei pononga ma Rea, ma tana tamahine.
25 And it was morning, and behold it was Lea; and Jacob said to Laban, What is this that you have done to me? did I not serve you for Rachel? and therefore have you deceived me?
A, i te ata, na, ko Rea ia: a ka mea ia ki a Rapana, He aha tenei mahi au ki ahau? ehara ianei a Rahera i taku i mahi ai ahau ki a koe? he aha ra koe i tinihanga ai ki ahau?
26 And Laban answered, It is not done thus in our country, to give the younger before the elder.
Na ko te meatanga a Rapana, Ehara tenei i te tikanga o to matou whenua, kia hoatu te teina ki mua o te tuakana.
27 Fulfil then her sevens, and I will give to you her also in return for your labour, which you labour with me, yet seven other years.
Whakatutukitia te wiki mo tenei, a ka hoatu ano hoki tera e matou ki a koe mo te mahi e mahi ai koe ki ahau i etahi atu tau e whitu.
28 And Jacob did so, and fulfilled her sevens; and Laban gave him his daughter Rachel to wife.
A pera ana a Hakopa, a whakatutukitia ana e ia te wiki mo tenei: a ka homai e ia a Rahera, tana tamahine, ki a ia hei wahine mana.
29 And Laban gave to his daughter his handmaid Balla, for a handmaid to her.
I homai ano e Rapana a Piriha, tana pononga wahine, ki a Rahera, ki tana tamahine, hei pononga mana.
30 And he went in to Rachel; and he loved Rachel more than Lea; and he served him seven other years.
Na ka haere ano hoki ia ki roto, ki a Rahera, a nui atu tona aroha ki a Rahera i tona ki a Rea; e whitu atu ano nga tau i mahi ai ia ki a ia.
31 And when the Lord God saw that Lea was hated, he opened her womb; but Rachel was barren.
A ka kite a Ihowa e kinongia ana a Rea, ka whakatuwheratia e ia tona kopu: he pakoko ia a Rahera.
32 And Lea conceived and bore a son to Jacob; and she called his name, Ruben; saying, Because the Lord has looked on my humiliation, and has given me a son, now then my husband will love me.
Na ka hapu a Rea, a ka whanau he tama, a huaina ana e ia tona ingoa ko Reupena: i mea hoki ia, Mo Ihowa hoki i titiro mai ki toku tangihanga; ta te mea hoki akuanei taku tahu aroha ai ki ahau.
33 And she conceived again, and bore a second son to Jacob; and she said, Because the Lord has heard that I am hated, he has given to me this one also; and she called his name, Simeon.
Na ka hapu ano ia, a ka whanau he tama; a ka mea ia, I rongo hoki a Ihowa e kinongia ana ahau, koia i homai ai hoki e ia tenei ki ahau: a huaina ana e ia tona ingoa ko Himiona.
34 And she conceived yet again, and bore a son, and said, In the present time my husband will be with me, for I have born him three sons; therefore she called his name, Levi.
Na ka hapu ano ia, a ka whanau he tama; a ka mea ia, Katahi ano taku tahu ka piri mai ki ahau, no te mea hoki ka tokotoru a maua tama ka whanau; na reira i huaina ai e ia tona ingoa ko Riwai.
35 And having conceived yet again, she bore a son, and said, Now yet again this time will I give thanks to the Lord; therefore she called his name, Juda; and ceased bearing.
Na ka hapu ano ia, a ka whanau he tama; a ka mea ia, Katahi ahau ka whakamoemiti ki a Ihowa: koia i huaina ai e ia tona ingoa ko Hura: a ka mutu tana whanau.
