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.”
Nígbà tí Rakeli rí i pe òun kò bímọ, ó bẹ̀rẹ̀ sí ṣe ìlara sí Lea, arábìnrin rẹ̀, ó sì wí fún Jakọbu pé, “Fún mi lọ́mọ, bí kò ṣe bẹ́ẹ̀, èmi ó kú!”
2 Jacob, being angry, responded to her, “Am I in the place of God, who has deprived you of the fruit of your womb?”
Inú sì bí Jakọbu sí i, ó sì wí pé, “Èmi ha wà ní ipò Ọlọ́run, ẹni tí ó mú ọ yàgàn bí?”
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.”
Nígbà náà ni Rakeli wí pé, “Biliha ìránṣẹ́bìnrin mi nìyìí, bá a lòpọ̀, kí ó ba à le bí ọmọ fún mi, kí èmi si le è tipasẹ̀ rẹ̀ ní ọmọ.”
4 And she gave him Bilhah in marriage.
Báyìí ni Rakeli fi Biliha fún Jakọbu ní aya, ó sì bá a lòpọ̀.
5 And when her husband had gone in to her, she conceived and bore a son.
Biliha sì lóyún, ó sì bí ọmọkùnrin kan fún Jakọbu.
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.
Rakeli sì wí pé, “Ọlọ́run ti ṣe ìdájọ́ mi; ó sì ti gbọ́ ohùn ẹ̀bẹ̀ mi, ó sì fún mi ni ọmọkùnrin kan.” Nítorí ìdí èyí ni ó ṣe pe orúkọ rẹ̀ ní Dani.
7 And conceiving again, Bilhah bore another,
Biliha, ọmọ ọ̀dọ̀ Rakeli sì tún lóyún, ó sì bí ọmọkùnrin kejì fún Jakọbu.
8 about whom Rachel said, “God has compared me with my sister, and I have prevailed.” And she called him Naphtali.
Nígbà náà ni Rakeli wí pé, “Mo ti bá ẹ̀gbọ́n mi ja ìjàkadì ńlá, èmi sì ti borí.” Ó sì pe orúkọ rẹ̀ ní Naftali.
9 Leah, perceiving that she had desisted from child-bearing, delivered Zilpah, her handmaid, to her husband.
Nígbà tí Lea sì ri pé òun ko tún lóyún mọ́, ó sì fi ọmọ ọ̀dọ̀ rẹ̀ obìnrin, Silipa fún Jakọbu bí aya.
10 And she, after having borne a son with difficulty,
Silipa ọmọ ọ̀dọ̀ Lea sì bí ọmọkùnrin kan fún Jakọbu.
11 said: “Happiness!” And for this reason, she called his name Gad.
Nígbà náà ni Lea wí pé, “Orí rere ni èyí!” Ó sì pe orúkọ rẹ̀ ní Gadi.
12 Likewise, Zilpah bore another.
Silipa ọmọ ọ̀dọ̀ Lea sì tún bí ọmọkùnrin kejì fún Jakọbu.
13 And Leah said, “This one is for my happiness. Indeed, women will call me blessed.” Because of this, she called him Asher.
Nígbà náà ni Lea wí pé, “Mo ní ayọ̀ gidigidi! Àwọn ọmọbìnrin yóò sì máa pe mí ní Alábùkún fún.” Ó sì pe orúkọ rẹ̀ ní Aṣeri.
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.”
Ní ọjọ́ kan, ní àkókò ìkórè ọkà jéró, Reubeni jáde lọ sí oko, ó sì rí èso mándrákì, ó sì mú un tọ Lea ìyá rẹ̀ wá. Rakeli sì wí fún Lea pé, “Jọ̀wọ́ fún mi ní ara èso mándrákì tí ọmọ rẹ mú wá.”
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.”
Ṣùgbọ́n Lea dalóhùn pé, “Ọkọ mi tí o gbà kò tó kọ́? Ṣe ìwọ yóò tún gba èso mándrákì ọmọ mi pẹ̀lú?” Rakeli sì dáhùn pé, “Ó dára, yóò sùn tì ọ́ lálẹ́ yìí nítorí èso mándrákì ọmọ rẹ.”
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.
Nítorí náà, nígbà tí Jakọbu ti oko dé ní ìrọ̀lẹ́ ọjọ́ náà, Lea jáde lọ pàdé rẹ̀, ó sì wí pé, “O ní láti sun ọ̀dọ̀ mi ní alẹ́ yìí nítorí mo ti fi èso mándrákì tí ọmọ mi wá bẹ̀ ọ́ lọ́wẹ̀.” Nítorí náà ni Jakọbu sùn tì í ní alẹ́ ọjọ́ náà.
17 And God heard her prayers. And she conceived and bore a fifth son.
Ọlọ́run sì gbọ́ ti Lea, ó sì lóyún, ó sì bí ọmọkùnrin karùn-ún fún Jakọbu.
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.
Nígbà náà ni Lea wí pé, “Ọlọ́run ti sẹ̀san ọmọ ọ̀dọ̀ mi ti mo fi fún ọkọ mi fún mi,” ó sì pe orúkọ rẹ̀ ní Isakari.
19 Conceiving again, Leah bore a sixth son.
Lea sì tún lóyún, ó sì bí ọmọkùnrin kẹfà fún Jakọbu.
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.
Nígbà náà ni Lea tún wí pé “Ọlọ́run ti fún mi ní ẹ̀bùn iyebíye, nígbà yìí ni ọkọ mi yóò máa bu ọlá fún mi.” Nítorí náà ni ó ṣe pe orúkọ rẹ̀ ni Sebuluni.
21 After him, she bore a daughter, named Dinah.
Lẹ́yìn èyí, ó sì bí ọmọbìnrin kan, ó sì pe orúkọ rẹ̀ ní Dina.
22 The Lord, likewise remembering Rachel, heeded her and opened her womb.
Nígbà náà ni Ọlọ́run rántí Rakeli, Ọlọ́run sì gbọ́ tirẹ̀, ó sì ṣí i ní inú.
23 And she conceived and bore a son, saying, “God has taken away my reproach.”
Ó lóyún, ó sì bí ọmọkùnrin kan ó sì wí pé, “Ọlọ́run ti mú ẹ̀gàn mi kúrò.”
24 And she called his name Joseph, saying, “The Lord has added to me another son.”
Ó sì pe orúkọ rẹ̀ ni Josẹfu, ó sì wí pé, “Ǹjẹ́ kí Olúwa kí ó fi ọmọkùnrin mìíràn kún un fún mi.”
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.
Lẹ́yìn tí Rakeli ti bí Josẹfu, Jakọbu wí fún Labani pé, “Jẹ́ kí èmi máa lọ sí ilẹ̀ mi tí mo ti wá.
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.”
Kó àwọn ọmọ àti ìyàwó mi fún mi, àwọn ẹni tí mo ti torí wọn sìn ọ́. Ki èmi lè máa bá ọ̀nà mi lọ. O sá à mọ bí mo ti ṣiṣẹ́ sìn ọ́ tó.”
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.
Ṣùgbọ́n Labani wí fún un pé, “Bí o bá ṣe pé mo rí ojúrere rẹ, jọ̀wọ́ dúró, nítorí, mo ti ṣe àyẹ̀wò rẹ, mo sì rí i pé Olúwa bùkún mi nítorí rẹ.
28 Choose your wages, which I will give you.”
Sọ ohun tí o fẹ́ gẹ́gẹ́ bí owó iṣẹ́ ẹ̀ rẹ, èmi yóò sì san án.”
29 But he responded: “You know how I have served you, and how great your possession became in my hands.
Jakọbu sì wí fún un pé, “Ìwọ sá à mọ bí mo ti ṣiṣẹ́ sìn ọ́ àti bí ẹran ọ̀sìn rẹ ti pọ̀ si lábẹ́ ìtọ́jú mi.
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.”
Ìwọ̀nba díẹ̀ sá à ni o ní kí èmi tó dé, ó sì ti pọ̀ sí i gidigidi, Olúwa sì ti bùkún ọ nínú gbogbo èyí tí mo ṣe. Ṣùgbọ́n nísinsin yìí, nígbà wo ní èmi yóò pèsè fún ìdílé tèmi.”
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.
Ó sì tún béèrè wí pé, “Kín ni kí èmi ó fi fún ọ?” Jakọbu dáhùn pé, “Má fun mi ni ohunkóhun, ṣùgbọ́n bí ìwọ yóò bá ṣe ohun tí mo fẹ́ sọ yìí, èmi yóò sì máa bá ọ tọ́jú àwọn agbo ẹran rẹ, èmi yóò sì máa bọ́ wọn.
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.
Jẹ́ kí èmi kí ó la agbo ẹran kọjá ní òní, èmi yóò sì mú gbogbo àgùntàn onílà àti èyí tí ó ní àmì, àti gbogbo àgbò dúdú pẹ̀lú ewúrẹ́ onílà tàbí tí ó ní àmì. Àwọn wọ̀nyí ni yóò dúró fún owó iṣẹ́ mi.
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.”
Òtítọ́ inú mi yóò sì jẹ́rìí fún mi ní ọjọ́ iwájú nígbà tí ìwọ bá wo owó iṣẹ́ mi tí ìwọ san fún mi, yóò sì ṣe pé gbogbo èyí tí kì í bá ṣe onílà tàbí alámì nínú ewúrẹ́ tàbí tí kì í ṣe dúdú nínú àgùntàn, tí o bá rí ni ọ̀dọ̀ mi ni kí o kà sí mi lọ́rùn pé jíjí ni mo jí gbé.”
34 And Laban said, “I hold favor for this request.”
Labani sì dáhùn pé, “Mo fi ara mọ́ ọn, ṣe bí ìwọ ti wí.”
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.
Ní ọjọ́ náà gan an ni Labani kó gbogbo ewúrẹ́ tí ó ní àmì tàbí ilà (àti òbúkọ àti abo, tí ó ní funfun díẹ̀ lára), pẹ̀lú gbogbo àgùntàn dúdú, ó sì fi wọ́n sí ìtọ́jú àwọn ọmọ rẹ̀.
36 And he established a distance of three days journey between himself and his son-in-law, who pastured the remainder of his flock.
Ibi tí Labani àti Jakọbu sì wà sí ara wọn, sì tó ìrìn ọjọ́ mẹ́ta. Jakọbu sì ń tọ́jú agbo ẹran Labani tí ó kù.
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.
Nígbà náà ni Jakọbu gé ọ̀pá tẹ́ẹ́rẹ́ tútù kan lára igi Poplari, àti igi almondi àti igi Pileeni. Ó sì bó èèpo kúrò ní ibi kọ̀ọ̀kan lára igi náà láti fún igi náà ní àwọ̀ ju ẹyọ kan lọ.
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.
Ó sì mú àwọn ọ̀pá wọ̀nyí tì sí ọ̀ọ́kán agbada omi níbi tí àwọn ẹran ti lè rí i nígbà tí wọ́n bá wá mu omi.
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.
Tí àwọn ẹran bá sì ń gùn, níwájú àwọn ọ̀pá náà, wọn sì bí àwọn ẹran onílà àti alámì, àwọn tí ó ní tótòtó lára.
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.
Nígbà náà ni ó ya àwọn abo ẹran kúrò nínú agbo ẹran Labani, ó sì yà wọ́n sọ́tọ̀ kúrò lára àgbò, ó sì mú kí wọn máa gùn pẹ̀lú àwọn àgbò Jakọbu dúdú nìkan, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni ó kó agbo ẹran jọ fún ara rẹ̀ láti ara agbo ẹran Labani.
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.
Nígbàkígbà tí àwọn ẹran tí ó lera bá ń gùn, Jakọbu yóò fi àwọn ọ̀pá wọ̀nyí lélẹ̀ níwájú wọn, ní ibi tí wọn ti ń mu omi.
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.
Ṣùgbọ́n tí ó bá jẹ́ wí pé wọn kò lera, kò ní fi àwọn ọ̀pá náà lélẹ̀. Nítorí náà, àwọn tí kò lera ń jẹ́ ti Labani, nígbà tí àwọn tí ó lera ń jẹ́ ti Jakọbu.
43 And the man was enriched beyond limit, and he had many flocks, women servants and men servants, camels and donkeys.
Nítorí ìdí èyí, Jakọbu di ọlọ́rọ̀ gidigidi, agbo ẹran rẹ̀ pọ̀ àti àwọn ìránṣẹ́kùnrin, ìránṣẹ́bìnrin pẹ̀lú ìbákasẹ àti kẹ́tẹ́kẹ́tẹ́.
