Genesis 30
1 Then Rachel, discerning that she was infertile, envied her sister, and so she said to her husband, “Give me children, otherwise I will die.”
A, no te kitenga o Rahera kahore i whanau tetahi tama ma raua ko Hakopa, ka hae a Rahera ki tona tuakana; a ka mea ia ki a Hakopa, Kia whai tamariki ahau, ki te kahore, ka mate ahau.
2 Jacob, being angry, responded to her, “Am I in the place of God, who has deprived you of the fruit of your womb?”
Na ka mura ake te riri a Hakopa ki a Rahera: ka mea ia, Ko te atua ranei ahau e kaiponu atu nei i te hua mo tou kopu?
3 But she said: “I have a handmaid Bilhah. Go in to her, so that she may give birth upon my knees, and I may have sons by her.”
Na ka mea tera, Na taku pononga wahine, a Piriha, haere ki roto, ki a ia; kia whanau ai ia ki runga ki oku turi, a mana ka whai tamariki ai ahau.
4 And she gave him Bilhah in marriage.
Na ka homai e ia a Piriha, tana pononga wahine, ki a ia hei wahine, a ka haere atu a Hakopa ki roto, ki a ia.
5 And when her husband had gone in to her, she conceived and bore a son.
Na ka hapu a Piriha, a ka whanau ta raua tama ko Hakopa.
6 And Rachel said, “The Lord has judged for me, and he has heeded my voice, giving me a son.” And because of this, she called his name Dan.
Na ka mea a Rahera, Kua whakarite te Atua i taku whakawakanga, kua rongo ano ki toku reo, kua homai hoki e ia tetahi tama ki ahau: na reira i huaina ai e ia tona ingoa ko Rana.
7 And conceiving again, Bilhah bore another,
Na ka hapu ano a Piriha, te pononga wahine a Rahera, a ka whanau te rua o a raua tama, ko Hakopa.
8 about whom Rachel said, “God has compared me with my sister, and I have prevailed.” And she called him Naphtali.
Na ka mea a Rahera, Nui whakaharahara nga nonoketanga i nonoke ai maua ko toku tuakana, a taea ana ia e ahau: na huaina iho e ia tona ingoa ko Napatari.
9 Leah, perceiving that she had desisted from child-bearing, delivered Zilpah, her handmaid, to her husband.
I te kitenga o Rea ka mutu ia te whanau ka tango ia i a Tiripa, i tana pononga wahine, a hoatu ana e ia ki a Hakopa hei wahine.
10 And she, after having borne a son with difficulty,
Na ka whanau te tama a Hakopa raua ko Tiripa, pononga a Rea.
11 said: “Happiness!” And for this reason, she called his name Gad.
A ka mea a Rea, He waimarie! Na huaina ana e ia tona ingoa ko Kara.
12 Likewise, Zilpah bore another.
Na ka whanau te rua o nga tama a Hakopa raua ko Tiripa, pononga a Rea.
13 And Leah said, “This one is for my happiness. Indeed, women will call me blessed.” Because of this, she called him Asher.
A ka mea a Rea, E hari ana ahau, ka kiia nei hoki ahau e nga tamahine he mea hari: a huaina ana e ia tona ingoa ko Ahera.
14 Then Reuben, going out into the field at the time of the wheat harvest, found mandrakes. These he brought to his mother Leah. And Rachel said, “Give me a portion of your son’s mandrakes.”
Na ka haere a Reupena i nga ra o te kotinga witi, a ka kite i etahi manitareki i te koraha, a kawea ana e ia ki a Rea, ki tona whaea. A ka mea atu a Rahera ki a Rea, Tena koa maku etahi o nga manitareki a tau tama.
15 She responded, “Does it seem like such a small matter to you, that you have usurped from me my husband, unless you will also take my son’s mandrakes?” Rachel said, “He will sleep with you this night because of your son’s mandrakes.”
Na ko te meatanga a tera ki a ia, He mea nohinohi ianei tau tangohanga i taku tahu? a me tango ano koe i nga manitareki a taku tama? A ka mea atu a Rahera, Na, me takoto ia ki a koe i tenei po hei utu mo nga manitareki a tau tama.
16 And when Jacob returned from the field in the evening, Leah went out to meet him, and she said, “You will enter to me, because I have hired you for the reward of my son’s mandrakes.” And he slept with her that night.
A i te ahiahi ka, haere mai a Hakopa i te mara, na ka puta atu a Rea ki te whakatau i a ia, ka mea, Me haere mai koe ki ahau; kua oti hoki koe te hoko e ahau ki nga manitareki a taku tama. Na ka takoto ia ki a ia i taua po.
17 And God heard her prayers. And she conceived and bore a fifth son.
I whakarongo hoki te Atua ki a Rea, a ka hapu ia, a ka whanau te tokorima o a raua tama ko Hakopa.
18 And she said, “God has given a reward to me, because I gave my handmaid to my husband.” And she called his name Issachar.
Na ka mea a Rea, Kua homai e te Atua toku utu, moku i hoatu i taku pononga ki taku tahu: a huaina ana e ia tona ingoa ko Ihakara.
19 Conceiving again, Leah bore a sixth son.
Na ka hapu ano a Rea, a ka whanau te tokoono o a raua tama ko Hakopa.
20 And she said: “God has endowed me with a good dowry. And now, at this turn, my husband will be with me, because I have conceived six sons for him.” And therefore she called his name Zebulun.
Na ka mea a Rea, He pai te hakari i homai nei e te Atua ki ahau; katahi taku tahu ka noho ki ahau, mo te whanautanga o a maua tama tokoono: a huaina ana e ia tona ingoa ko Hepurona.
21 After him, she bore a daughter, named Dinah.
A muri iho ka whanau he kotiro, a huaina ana e ia tona ingoa ko Rina.
22 The Lord, likewise remembering Rachel, heeded her and opened her womb.
A i mahara te Atua ki a Rahera, i whakarongo hoki te Atua ki a ia, a whakatuwheratia ana e ia tona kopu.
23 And she conceived and bore a son, saying, “God has taken away my reproach.”
Na ka hapu ia, a ka whanau he tama; a ka mea ia, Kua whakamutua e te Atua toku tawainga:
24 And she called his name Joseph, saying, “The Lord has added to me another son.”
Na huaina ana e ia tona ingoa ko Hohepa: a ka mea, Ka tapiritia mai e Ihowa tetahi atu tama maku.
25 But when Joseph was born, Jacob said to his father-in-law: “Release me, so that I may return to my native country and to my land.
Na, ka whanau ra a Hohepa i a Rahera, ka mea a Hakopa ki a Rapana, Tukua ahau, kia haere ai ahau ki toku ake wahi, ki toku whenua.
26 Give me my wives, and my children, for whom I have served you, so that I may depart. You know the servitude with which I have served you.”
Homai aku wahine me aku tamariki i mahi ai ahau ki a koe, a ka haere ahau: e mohio ana hoki koe ki taku mahi i mahi ai ahau ki a koe.
27 Laban said to him: “May I find grace in your sight. I have learned by experience that God has blessed me because of you.
Na ka mea a Rapana ki a ia, Ki te mea e manakohia ana anau e koe, e noho: kua kite hoki ahau nau i manaakitia ai ahau e Ihowa.
28 Choose your wages, which I will give you.”
I mea ano ia, Whakaritea ki ahau te utu mou, a ka hoatu e ahau.
29 But he responded: “You know how I have served you, and how great your possession became in my hands.
A ka mea ia ki a ia, E mohio ana koe ki taku mahinga ki a koe, ki au kararehe hoki i ahau, to ratou peheatanga.
30 You had little before I came to you, and now you have achieved riches. And the Lord has blessed you since my arrival. It is just, therefore, that at some time I also should provide for my own house.”
I mua atu hoki i ahau he iti au mea, na kua nui noa atu tenei; a kua manaakitia koe e Ihowa ahakoa tahuri ahau ki hea, ki hea: na inaianei ahea ranei ahau mea ai hoki i tetahi mea mo toku ake whare?
31 And Laban said, “What shall I give to you?” But he said, “I want nothing. But if you will do what I ask, I will feed and guard your sheep again.
A ka mea tera, Ko te aha taku e hoatu ai ki a koe? A ka mea a Hakopa, Kaua e homai tetahi mea ki ahau: ki te meatia mai e koe tenei mea aku, ka whangai ano ahau, ka tiaki i au hipi.
32 Go around through all your flocks and separate all the sheep of variegated or spotted fleece; and whatever will be darkened or blemished or variegated, as much among the sheep as among the goats, will be my wages.
Ka tika ahau na waenganui i tau kahui katoa akuanei, a ka wehea i reira nga mea whai tongitongi katoa, nga mea purepure, me nga mea pakaka katoa i roto i nga hipi, me nga purepure, me nga mea whai tongitongi i roto i nga koati: a ko era hei utu moku.
33 And my justice will answer on my behalf tomorrow, when the time of settlement arrives before you. And all that is not variegated or blemished or darkened, as much among the sheep as among the goats, these will prove me to be a thief.”
Penei ka whakatikaia ahau e toku tika apopo ake nei, ina tae atu ki tou aroaro ki te utu moku: ko nga mea i roto i nga koati kahore nei he tongitongi, kahore he purepure, me nga mea kahore e pakaka i roto i nga hipi, he mea tahae tena naku.
34 And Laban said, “I hold favor for this request.”
Na ka mea a Rapana, Ae, pai tonu kia pena me tau i ki mai na.
35 And on that day he separated the she-goats, and the sheep, and the he-goats, and the rams with variegations or with blemishes. But every one of the flock which was of one color, that is, of white or of black fleece, he delivered into the hands of his sons.
Na ka wehea e ia i taua rangi nga koati toa, nga mea whakahekeheke, me nga mea purepure, me nga koati uha e whai tongitongi ana, me nga mea purepure, nga mea he ma tetahi wahi, me nga mea pakaka o nga hipi, a hoatu ana ki nga ringa o ana tama;
36 And he established a distance of three days journey between himself and his son-in-law, who pastured the remainder of his flock.
Na ka whakatakiwatia e ia he takiwa i waenganui i a ia, i a Hakopa, kia toru nga ra e haerea ai; a ka whangai a Hakopa i nga hipi a Rapana i mahue iho.
37 Then Jacob, taking green branches of poplar, and almond, and sycamore trees, debarked them in part. And when the bark was pulled off, in the parts that were stripped, there appeared whiteness, yet the parts that were left whole, remained green. And so, in this way the color was made variegated.
Katahi ka tikina e Hakopa etahi rakau mana, he papara mata, he aramona, he pereni; a tihorea ana e ia etahi tihorenga ma i aua mea, a ka meinga kia ata kitea te wahi ma o nga rakau.
38 And he placed them in the troughs, where the water was poured out, so that when the flocks had arrived to drink, they would have the branches before their eyes, and in their sight they might conceive.
A i whakaturia e ia aua rakau i tihorea ra ki roto ki nga hake, ki roto ki nga waka wai, kia taurite mai ki nga hipi, ina haere nga hipi ki te inu; i whakahaputia hoki i te haerenga ki te inu.
39 And it happened that, in the very heat of joining together, the sheep looked upon the branches, and they bore the blemished and the variegated, those speckled with diverse color.
Na ka whakahaputia nga kahui ki mau i nga rakau, a he whakahekeheke, he mea tongitongi, he purepure nga kuao i whanau.
40 And Jacob divided the flock, and he set the branches in the troughs before the eyes of the rams. Now whatever was white or black belonged to Laban, but, in truth, the others belonged to Jacob, for the flocks were dispersed among one another.
Na ka wehea atu nga reme e Hakopa, a whakaangahia ana e ia nga kanohi o nga kahui ki nga mea whakahekeheke, ki nga mea pakaka katoa i roto i te kahui a Rapana; na ko ana ake kahui i wehea e ia ki te whanga, kihai hoki i tukua ki roto ki te kahui a Rapana.
41 Therefore, when the first to arrive were climbing on the ewes, Jacob placed the branches in the troughs of water before the eyes of the rams and the sheep, so that they might conceive while they were gazing upon them.
Na, i nga wa katoa e whakahaputia ai nga mea kaha o te kahui ka whakaturia e Hakopa nga rakau ki te tirohanga a te kahui, ki roto ki nga hake, kia whakahaputia ai ratou ki waenga i nga rakau;
42 Yet when the late arrivals and the last to conceive were let in, he did not place these. And so those that arrived late became Laban’s, and those that arrived first became Jacob’s.
A ki te mea he ngoikore te kahui, kihai i whakaturia e ia: na i a Rapana nga mea ngoikore, a i a Hakopa nga mea kaha.
43 And the man was enriched beyond limit, and he had many flocks, women servants and men servants, camels and donkeys.
Na ka tino nui haere rawa taua tangata, a ka whai kahui nunui ano ia, me nga pononga wahine, me nga pononga tane, me nga kamera, me nga kaihe.
