Genesis 30
1 And Rachel having perceived that she bore Jacob no children, was jealous of her sister; and said to Jacob, Give me children; and if not, I shall die.
Laakeeri bwe yalaba nga tazaalidde Yakobo baana, n’akwatirwa muganda we obuggya; n’agamba Yakobo nti, “Mpa abaana oba si ekyo nzija kufa!”
2 And Jacob was angry with Rachel, and said to her, Am I in the place of God, who has deprived you of the fruit of the womb?
Obusungu bwa Yakobo ne bubuubuukira Laakeeri, n’amugamba nti, “Nze Katonda akummye okuzaala?”
3 And Rachel said to Jacob, Behold my handmaid Balla, go in to her, and she shall bear upon my knees, and I also shall have children by her.
Laakeeri kwe kumwanukula nti, “Omuweereza wange Biira wuuno, weetabe naye azaalire ku maviivi gange, ndyoke nfune abaana nga mpita mu ye.”
4 And she gave him Balla her maid, for a wife to him; and Jacob went in to her.
N’alyoka amuwa omuweereza we Biira okuba mukazi we, Yakobo ne yeetaba naye.
5 And Balla, Rachel's maid, conceived, and bore Jacob a son.
Biira n’aba olubuto n’azaalira Yakobo omwana owoobulenzi.
6 And Rachel said, God has given judgement for me, and listened to my voice, and has given me a son; therefore she called his name, Dan.
Awo Laakeeri n’agamba nti, “Katonda ankoze bulungi, n’awulira eddoboozi lyange, n’ampa omwana owoobulenzi.” Kyeyava amutuuma Ddaani.
7 And Balla, Rachel's maid, conceived yet again, and bore a second son to Jacob.
Biira omuweereza omukazi owa Laakeeri n’aba olubuto ate, n’azaalira Yakobo omwana owoobulenzi owookubiri.
8 And Rachel said, God has helped me, and I contended with my sister and prevailed; and she called his name, Nephthalim.
Laakeeri n’alyoka agamba nti, “Nnwanye ne muganda wange okulwana okw’amaanyi era mpangudde;” omwana kyeyava amutuuma Nafutaali.
9 And Lea saw that she ceased from bearing, and she took Zelpha her maid, and gave her to Jacob for a wife; and he went in to her.
Awo Leeya bwe yalaba akomye okuzaala, n’addira omuweereza we Zirupa n’amuwa Yakobo abe mukazi we.
10 And Zelpha the maid of Lea conceived, and bore Jacob a son.
Zirupa omuweereza wa Leeya n’alyoka azaalira Yakobo omwana owoobulenzi;
11 And Lea said, [It is] happily: and she called his name, Gad.
Leeya n’agamba nti, “Guno mukisa gwennyini!” Kwe kumutuuma Gaadi.
12 And Zelpha the maid of Lea conceived yet again, and bore Jacob a second son.
Ate Zirupa omuweereza wa Leeya n’azaalira Yakobo omwana owoobulenzi owookubiri.
13 And Lea said, I am blessed, for the women will pronounce me blessed; and she called his name, Aser.
Leeya n’agamba nti, “Neesiimye! Kubanga abakazi banampita wa mukisa;” kyeyava amutuuma Aseri.
14 And Ruben went in the day of barley harvest, and found apples of mandrakes in the field, and brought them to his mother Lea; and Rachel said to Lea her sister, Give me of your son's mandrakes.
Lumu mu biseera eby’amakungula g’eŋŋaano Lewubeeni n’agenda mu nnimiro, n’anoga amadudayimu, n’agaleetera nnyina Leeya. Laakeeri n’agamba Leeya nti, “Nkusaba ompe ku madudayimu g’omwana wo.”
15 And Lea said, [Is it] not enough for you that you have taken my husband, will you also take my son's mandrakes? And Rachel said, Not so: let him lie with you tonight for your son's mandrakes.
Kyokka ye n’amuddamu nti, “Okiyita kitono ggwe okunnyagako baze? Ate otwale n’amadudayimu g’omwana wange?” Laakeeri n’amugamba nti, “Kale anaaba naawe ekiro kino olw’amadudayimu g’omwana wo.”
16 And Jacob came in out of the field at even; and Lea went forth to meet him, and said, You shall come in to me this day, for I have hired you for my son's mandrakes; and he lay with her that night.
Yakobo bwe yakomawo okuva mu nnimiro akawungeezi, Leeya n’afuluma okumusisinkana, n’amugamba nti, “Weetabe nange, kubanga nkuguze n’amadudayimu g’omwana wange.” Kwe kwetaba naye.
17 And God listened to Lea, and she conceived, and bore Jacob a fifth son.
Katonda n’awulira Leeya, n’aba olubuto, n’azaalira Yakobo omwana owoobulenzi owookutaano.
18 And Lea said, God has given me my reward, because I gave my maid to my husband; and she called his name Issachar, which is, Reward.
Leeya n’agamba nti, “Katonda ansasudde empeera yange, kubanga nawa baze, omuweereza wange,” omwana kyeyava amutuuma Isakaali.
19 And Lea conceived again, and bore Jacob a sixth son.
Leeya n’aba olubuto ate, n’azaalira Yakobo Omwana owoobulenzi ow’omukaaga.
20 And Lea said, God has given me a good gift in this time; my husband will choose me, for I have born him six sons: and she called his name, Zabulon.
Leeya kwe kugamba nti, “Katonda ampadde ekirabo, kaakano baze anaabanga nange, kubanga muzaalidde abaana aboobulenzi mukaaga.” Ow’omukaaga kyeyava amutuuma Zebbulooni.
21 And after this she bore a daughter; and she called her name, Dina.
Oluvannyuma n’azaala omwana owoobuwala, n’amutuuma Dina.
22 And God remembered Rachel, and God listened to her, and he opened her womb.
Ate Katonda n’ajjukira Laakeeri, n’amuwulira n’aggula olubuto lwe.
23 And she conceived, and bore Jacob a son; and Rachel said, God has taken away my reproach.
N’aba olubuto n’azaalira Yakobo omwana owoobulenzi, Laakeeri n’agamba nti, “Katonda anziggyeeko okunyoomebwa;”
24 And she called his name Joseph, saying, Let God add to me another son.
n’amutuuma Yusufu, ng’agamba nti, “Mukama annyongere omwana omulenzi.”
25 And it came to pass when Rachel had born Joseph, Jacob said to Laban, Send me away, that I may go to my place and to my land.
Laakeeri bwe yazaala Yusufu, Yakobo n’agamba Labbaani nti, “Nsiibula, ŋŋende ewaffe mu nsi yaffe.
26 Restore my wives and my children, for whom I have served you, that I may depart, for you know the service wherewith I have served you.
Mpa bakazi bange n’abaana bange, be nkuweererezza, ondeke ŋŋende: kubanga omanyi okuweereza kwe nkuweerezza.”
27 And Laban said to him, If I have found grace in your sight, I would augur [well], for the Lord has blessed me at your coming in.
Labbaani kwe kumuddamu nti, “Nga bwe nfunye omukisa mu ggwe, nkusaba oleme kuva wano, kubanga ndabye nga Mukama yampa omukisa ku bubwo.
28 Appoint me your wages, and I will give [them].
Ntegeeza empeera yo nange ngikuwe.”
29 And Jacob said, You know in what things I have served you, and how many cattle of your are with me.
Yakobo n’amuddamu nti, “Ggwe kennyini omanyi nti nkuweerezza era n’ensolo zo nga nzaazizza.
30 For it was little you had before my time, and it is increased to a multitude, and the Lord God has blessed you since my coming; now then, when shall I set up also my own house?
Kubanga walina ntono nga sinnajja, naye zeeyongedde nnyo; era Mukama n’akuwa omukisa buli gye n’addanga. Naye kaakano nze ndikolera ddi ennyumba yange?”
31 And Laban said to him, What shall I give you? and Jacob said to him, You shall not give me anything; if you will do this thing for me, I will again tend your flocks and keep them.
Labbaani kwe ku mubuuza nti, “Nkuwe ki?” Yakobo n’amuddamu nti, “Tojja kubaako ky’ompa, okuggyako okunkolera kino, ndyoke nneeyongere okulunda ekisibo kyo:
32 Let all your sheep pass by today, and separate thence every grey sheep amongst the rams, and every one that is speckled and spotted amongst the goats—[this] shall be my reward.
nzikiriza mpite mu kisibo kyo leero, nziggyemu buli ndiga enkulu eza bugondo n’eza bitanga, n’endiga ento enzirugavu, n’embuzi eza bugondogondo n’ezabitanga mu mbuzi, era ezo ze zinaabeera empeera yange.
33 And my righteousness shall answer for me on the morrow, for it is my reward before you: whatever shall not be spotted and speckled amongst the goats, and grey amongst the rams, shall be stolen with me.
Kale oluvannyuma lwa byonna obutuukirivu bwange bulimpolereza bw’olijja okukebera bw’onsasudde. Bw’olisanga embuzi yonna etali ya bugondogondo n’eya bitanga, oba endiga yonna enkazi enzirugavu eyo eribalibwa nti nnagikubbako.”
34 And Laban said to him, Let it be according to your word.
Labbaani n’amuddamu nti, “Ekyo kirungi. Kale kibeere bwe kityo nga bw’ogambye.”
35 And he separated in that day the spotted and speckled he-goats, and all the spotted and speckled she-goats, and all that was grey amongst the rams, and every one that was white amongst them, and he gave them into the hand of his sons.
Naye ekiro ekyo Labbaani n’aggya mu kisibo embuzi ennume eza biwuuga n’eza bitanga, n’embuzi enkazi zonna eza bugondogondo n’eza bitanga, buli eyalina ebbala eryeru, na buli ndiga nzirugavu n’aziwa abaana be bazirunde;
36 And he set a distance of a three days' journey between them and Jacob. And Jacob tended the cattle of Laban that were left behind.
nga beesudde ebbanga eritambulirwa ennaku ssatu okuva ku ye okutuuka ku Yakobo. Yakobo ye n’alunda ezo ezaasigalawo ku kisibo kya Labbaani.
37 And Jacob took to himself green rods of storax tree and walnut and plane tree; and Jacob peeled in them white stripes; and as he drew off the green, the white stripe which he had made appeared alternate on the rods.
Awo Yakobo n’addira obuti bw’omulibine omubisi, n’obw’omusakedi, n’obw’omwalamoni n’abususumbulako ebikuta mu bukuubo.
38 And he laid the rods which he had peeled, in the hollows of the watering-troughs, that whenever the cattle should come to drink, as they should have come to drink before the rods, the cattle might conceive at the rods.
N’asimba obuti bw’asasambudde mu maaso g’ebisibo ku by’esero ensolo we zanyweranga.
39 So the cattle conceived at the rods, and the cattle brought forth [young] speckled, and streaked and spotted with ash-coloured [spots].
Bwe zajjanga okunywa ne ziwakiranga mu maaso g’obuti obwo, ne zizaalanga eza biwuuga, n’eza bugondogondo n’eza bitanga.
40 And Jacob separated the lambs, and set before the sheep a speckled ram, and every variegated one amongst the lambs, and he separated flocks for himself alone, and did not mingle them with the sheep of Laban.
Yakobo n’ayawula ento ne zibeera zokka. Naye endala n’azitunuza okwolekera eza biwuuga n’enzirugavu eza Labbaani. Bw’atyo ne yeekolera ebisibo eby’enjawulo, n’atagatta zize na za Labbaani.
41 And it came to pass in the time wherein the cattle became pregnant, conceiving in the belly, Jacob put the rods before the cattle in the troughs, that they might conceive by the rods.
Buli nsolo enkazi ez’amaanyi bwe zaabanga zigenda okuwaka nga Yakobo ateeka ku by’esero obuti bwe buli okwolekera ensolo ezigenda okuwaka, ziwakire okumpi nabwo.
42 But he did not put them in [indiscriminately] whenever the cattle happened to bring forth, but the unmarked ones were Laban's, and the marked ones were Jacob's.
Naye ku nsolo ennafu teyabutekangawo. Olwo ensolo ennafu ne zibanga za Labbaani, zo ez’amaanyi ne zibanga za Yakobo.
43 And the man became very rich, and he had many cattle, and oxen, and servants, and maidservants, and camels, and asses.
Mu ngeri eyo Yakobo n’agenda ng’agaggawalira ddala nnyo, n’afuna ebisibo bingi ddala, wamu n’abaweereza abakazi n’abasajja; era n’afuna n’eŋŋamira n’embalaasi.
