Genesis 30
1 And when Rachel saw that she bore Jacob no children, Rachel envied her sister, and said to Jacob, Give me children, or else I 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's anger was kindled against Rachel, and he said, Am I in God's stead, who has withheld from thee the fruit of the womb?
Obusungu bwa Yakobo ne bubuubuukira Laakeeri, n’amugamba nti, “Nze Katonda akummye okuzaala?”
3 And she said, Behold, there is my maid, Bilhah: go in to her, in order that she may bear on my knees, and I may also be built up 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 Bilhah her maidservant as wife, and Jacob went in to her.
N’alyoka amuwa omuweereza we Biira okuba mukazi we, Yakobo ne yeetaba naye.
5 And Bilhah conceived, and bore Jacob a son.
Biira n’aba olubuto n’azaalira Yakobo omwana owoobulenzi.
6 And Rachel said, God has done me justice, and has also heard my voice, and 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 Bilhah Rachel's maidservant again conceived, and bore Jacob a second son.
Biira omuweereza omukazi owa Laakeeri n’aba olubuto ate, n’azaalira Yakobo omwana owoobulenzi owookubiri.
8 And Rachel said, Wrestlings of God have I wrestled with my sister, and have prevailed; and she called his name Naphtali.
Laakeeri n’alyoka agamba nti, “Nnwanye ne muganda wange okulwana okw’amaanyi era mpangudde;” omwana kyeyava amutuuma Nafutaali.
9 And when Leah saw that she had ceased to bear, she took Zilpah her maidservant and gave her to Jacob as wife.
Awo Leeya bwe yalaba akomye okuzaala, n’addira omuweereza we Zirupa n’amuwa Yakobo abe mukazi we.
10 And Zilpah Leah's maidservant bore Jacob a son.
Zirupa omuweereza wa Leeya n’alyoka azaalira Yakobo omwana owoobulenzi;
11 And Leah said, Fortunately! and she called his name Gad.
Leeya n’agamba nti, “Guno mukisa gwennyini!” Kwe kumutuuma Gaadi.
12 And Zilpah Leah's maidservant bore Jacob a second son.
Ate Zirupa omuweereza wa Leeya n’azaalira Yakobo omwana owoobulenzi owookubiri.
13 And Leah said, Happy am I; for the daughters will call me blessed! and she called his name Asher.
Leeya n’agamba nti, “Neesiimye! Kubanga abakazi banampita wa mukisa;” kyeyava amutuuma Aseri.
14 And Reuben went out in the days of wheat-harvest, and found mandrakes in the fields; and he brought them to his mother Leah. And Rachel said to Leah, Give me, I pray thee, of thy 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 she said to her, Is it [too] little that thou hast taken my husband, that thou wilt take my son's mandrakes also? And Rachel said, Therefore he shall lie with thee to-night for thy 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 when Jacob came from the fields in the evening, Leah went out to meet him, and said, Thou must come in to me, for indeed I have hired thee with 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 hearkened to Leah, and she conceived, and bore Jacob a fifth son.
Katonda n’awulira Leeya, n’aba olubuto, n’azaalira Yakobo omwana owoobulenzi owookutaano.
18 And Leah said, God has given me my hire, because I have given my maidservant to my husband; and she called his name Issachar.
Leeya n’agamba nti, “Katonda ansasudde empeera yange, kubanga nawa baze, omuweereza wange,” omwana kyeyava amutuuma Isakaali.
19 And Leah again conceived, and bore Jacob a sixth son;
Leeya n’aba olubuto ate, n’azaalira Yakobo Omwana owoobulenzi ow’omukaaga.
20 and Leah said, God has endowed me with a good dowry; this time will my husband dwell with me, because I have borne him six sons. And she called his name Zebulun.
Leeya kwe kugamba nti, “Katonda ampadde ekirabo, kaakano baze anaabanga nange, kubanga muzaalidde abaana aboobulenzi mukaaga.” Ow’omukaaga kyeyava amutuuma Zebbulooni.
21 And afterwards she bore a daughter, and called her name Dinah.
Oluvannyuma n’azaala omwana owoobuwala, n’amutuuma Dina.
22 And God remembered Rachel, and God listened to her, and opened her womb.
Ate Katonda n’ajjukira Laakeeri, n’amuwulira n’aggula olubuto lwe.
23 And she conceived, and bore a son, and 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; and said, Jehovah will add to me another son.
n’amutuuma Yusufu, ng’agamba nti, “Mukama annyongere omwana omulenzi.”
25 And it came to pass when Rachel had borne Joseph, that Jacob said to Laban, Send me away, that I may go to my place and to my country.
Laakeeri bwe yazaala Yusufu, Yakobo n’agamba Labbaani nti, “Nsiibula, ŋŋende ewaffe mu nsi yaffe.
26 Give [me] my wives for whom I have served thee, and my children; that I may go away, for thou knowest my service which I have served thee.
Mpa bakazi bange n’abaana bange, be nkuweererezza, ondeke ŋŋende: kubanga omanyi okuweereza kwe nkuweerezza.”
27 And Laban said to him, I pray thee, if I have found favour in thine eyes — I have discovered that Jehovah has blessed me for thy sake.
Labbaani kwe kumuddamu nti, “Nga bwe nfunye omukisa mu ggwe, nkusaba oleme kuva wano, kubanga ndabye nga Mukama yampa omukisa ku bubwo.
28 And he said, Appoint to me thy wages, and I will give it.
Ntegeeza empeera yo nange ngikuwe.”
29 And he said to him, Thou knowest how I have served thee, and what thy cattle has become with me.
Yakobo n’amuddamu nti, “Ggwe kennyini omanyi nti nkuweerezza era n’ensolo zo nga nzaazizza.
30 For it was little that thou hadst before me, and it is increased to a multitude, and Jehovah has blessed thee from the time I came; and now, when shall I also provide for my 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 he said, What shall I give thee? And Jacob said, Thou shalt not give me anything. If thou doest this for me, I will again feed [and] keep thy flock:
Labbaani kwe ku mubuuza nti, “Nkuwe ki?” Yakobo n’amuddamu nti, “Tojja kubaako ky’ompa, okuggyako okunkolera kino, ndyoke nneeyongere okulunda ekisibo kyo:
32 I will pass through all thy flock to-day, to remove thence all the speckled and spotted sheep, and all the brown lambs, and the spotted and speckled among the goats; and [that] shall be my hire.
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 hereafter, when thou comest about my hire, before thy face: all that is not speckled and spotted among the goats, and brown among the lambs, let that 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, Well, let it be according to thy word.
Labbaani n’amuddamu nti, “Ekyo kirungi. Kale kibeere bwe kityo nga bw’ogambye.”
35 And he removed that day the he-goats that were ringstraked and spotted, and all the she-goats that were speckled and spotted, every one that had white in it, and all the brown among the lambs, and 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 put three days' journey between himself and Jacob. And Jacob fed the rest of Laban's flock.
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 fresh rods of white poplar, almond-tree, and maple; and peeled off white stripes in them, uncovering the white which was 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 set the rods which he had peeled before the flock, in the troughs at the watering-places where the flock came to drink, and they were ardent when they came to drink.
N’asimba obuti bw’asasambudde mu maaso g’ebisibo ku by’esero ensolo we zanyweranga.
39 And the flock was ardent before the rods; and the flock brought forth ringstraked, speckled, and spotted.
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 the faces of the flock toward the ringstraked, and all the brown in the flock of Laban; and he made himself separate flocks, and did not put them with Laban's flock.
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 whensoever the strong cattle were ardent, that Jacob laid the rods before the eyes of the flock in the gutters, that they might become ardent among 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 when the sheep were feeble, he put [them] not in; so the feeble were Laban's, and the strong 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 increased very, very much, and had much cattle, and bondwomen, and bondmen, 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.
