< 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.
Pea ʻi he mamata ʻa Lesieli ʻoku ʻikai haʻa ne fānau kia Sēkope, naʻe meheka ia ki hono taʻokete: pea pehē ʻe ia kia Sēkope, “Tuku mai ha fānau kiate au, telia naʻaku mate.”
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?
Pea tupu ai ʻae loto ʻo Sēkope kia Lesieli: pea pehē ʻe ia, “He ko e ʻOtua au, ʻaia kuo ne taʻofi meiate koe ʻae fua ʻoe manāva?”
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.
Ka naʻe pehēange ʻe ia, “Vakai ki heʻeku kaunanga ko Pila, ke ke ʻalu kiate ia: pea te ne fānau ʻi hoku ongo tui koeʻuhi ke u maʻu ha fānau ʻiate ia.
4 And she gave him Bilhah her maidservant as wife, and Jacob went in to her.
Pea ne foaki kiate ia ʻene kaunanga ko Pila ko hono uaifi, pea ʻalu ʻa Sēkope kiate ia.
5 And Bilhah conceived, and bore Jacob a son.
Pea naʻe tuituʻia ʻa Pila, pea fānau kia Sēkope ʻae tama.”
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.
Pea pehē ʻe Lesieli, “Kuo fakamaau au ʻe he ʻOtua, mo ne fanongo ki hoku leʻo, pea kuo ne foaki kiate au ʻae tama ko ia naʻa ne ui ai hono hingoa ko Tani.”
7 And Bilhah Rachel's maidservant again conceived, and bore Jacob a second son.
Pea toe feitama ʻa Pila, ko e kaunanga ʻa Lesieli, pea ne fānau kia Sēkope ʻae tama ko hono tokoua.
8 And Rachel said, Wrestlings of God have I wrestled with my sister, and have prevailed; and she called his name Naphtali.
Pea pehē ʻe Lesieli, “ʻI he ʻahiʻahi lahi, naʻa ma ʻahiʻahi mo hoku taʻokete, pea kuo u lavaʻi: pea ne ui hono hingoa ko Nafitalai.”
9 And when Leah saw that she had ceased to bear, she took Zilpah her maidservant and gave her to Jacob as wife.
Pea ʻi he mamata ʻa Lia kuo ngata ʻene fānau, pea ʻave ʻe ia ʻene kaunanga ko Silipa, ʻo ne ʻatu ia kia Sēkope ko hono uaifi.
10 And Zilpah Leah's maidservant bore Jacob a son.
Pea ko Silipa, ko e kaunanga ʻa Lia, naʻa ne fānau kia Sēkope ʻae tama.
11 And Leah said, Fortunately! and she called his name Gad.
Pea pehē ʻe Lia, “ʻOku haʻu ʻae tokolahi: pea ne ui hono hingoa ko Kata.”
12 And Zilpah Leah's maidservant bore Jacob a second son.
Pea ko Silipa ko e kaunanga ʻa Lia, naʻa ne fānau kia Sēkope ʻae tama ʻe taha.
13 And Leah said, Happy am I; for the daughters will call me blessed! and she called his name Asher.
Pea pehē ʻe Lia, “ʻOku monūʻia au, ʻe ui au ʻe he ngaahi ʻofefine ko e monūʻia pea ne ui hono hingoa ko ʻAseli.”
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.
Pea naʻe ʻalu ʻa Lupeni ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho ʻoe ututaʻu uite, pea ne ʻilo ʻae ngaahi tutai ʻi he ngoue, pea ne ʻomi ia ki heʻene faʻē ko Lia. Pea pehē ʻe Lesieli kia Lia, “ʻOku ou kole ke ke tuku mai foki, mei he ngaahi tutai ʻa hoʻo tama.”
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.
Pea talaange ʻe ia kiate ia, “He ko e meʻa siʻi ia, hao faʻao hoku husepāniti? Pea te ke toʻo mo e ngaahi tutai ʻa ʻeku tama foki?” Pea pehē ʻe Lesieli, “E mohe ia mo koe he poōni, koeʻuhi ko e tutai ʻa hoʻo tama.”
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.
Pea haʻu ʻa Sēkope mei he ngoue ʻi he efiafi, pea ʻalu ʻa Lia ke fakafetaulaki kiate ia, ʻo ne pehē, “Ke ke haʻu kiate au; he ko e moʻoni kuo u fakatau koe ʻaki ʻae ngaahi tutai ʻa ʻeku tama.” Pea ne na mohe ʻi he pō ko ia.
17 And God hearkened to Leah, and she conceived, and bore Jacob a fifth son.
Pea naʻe ʻafio ʻae ʻOtua kia Lia, pea feitama ia, pea ne fāʻeleʻi kia Sēkope ʻae tama ʻe taha, ko hono toko nima ia.
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.
Pea pehē ʻe Lia, “Kuo tuku mai ʻe he ʻOtua ʻae totongi, koeʻuhi ʻi heʻeku foaki ʻeku kaunanga ki hoku husepāniti: pea ne ui hono hingoa ko ʻIsaka.”
19 And Leah again conceived, and bore Jacob a sixth son;
Pea toe feitama ʻa Lia, pea fānau kia Sēkope ʻae tama ko hono toko ono ia.
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.
Pea pehē ʻe Lia, “Kuo ʻomi ʻe he ʻOtua kiate au ʻae koloa lelei; ko eni ʻe toki fie nofo hoku husepāniti kiate au, koeʻuhi kuo u fanauʻi kiate ia, ʻae tama ʻe toko ono: pea ne ui hono hingoa ko Sepuloni.”
21 And afterwards she bore a daughter, and called her name Dinah.
Pea ne toki fānau kiate ia ʻae taʻahine, pea ne ui hono hingoa ko Taina.
22 And God remembered Rachel, and God listened to her, and opened her womb.
Pea naʻe manatuʻi ʻe he ʻOtua ʻa Lesieli, ʻo ne tokanga kiate ia, pea ne ngaohi ia ke ne faʻa fānau.
23 And she conceived, and bore a son, and said, God has taken away my reproach.
Pea feitama ia, pea fanauʻi ʻae tama; pea pehē ʻe ia, “Kuo toʻo ʻo ʻave ʻe he ʻOtua ʻa hoku manukia:”
24 And she called his name Joseph; and said, Jehovah will add to me another son.
Pea naʻa ne ui hono hingoa ko Siosefa: ʻo ne pehē, “E ʻomi kiate au ʻe Sihova ʻae tama ʻe taha.”
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.
Pea kuo fāʻeleʻi ʻe Lesieli ʻa Siosefa, pea lea ʻa Sēkope kia Lepani, ʻo pehē, “Tuku au ke u ʻalu, koeʻuhi ke u ʻalu ki hoku potu, mo hoku fonua.
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.
Tuku mai hoku ngaahi uaifi, mo ʻeku fānau, ʻakinautolu naʻaku ngāue ai kiate koe, pea ke tuku ke u ʻalu: he ʻoku ke ʻilo ʻae ngāue kuo u fai kiate koe.”
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.
Pea kole ʻa Lepani, ʻo ne pehē kiate ia: “Kapau kuo u ʻofeina ʻi ho ʻao, ke ke nofo pe; he kuo u ʻilo pau kuo tāpuakiʻi au ʻe Sihova, koeʻuhi ko koe.”
28 And he said, Appoint to me thy wages, and I will give it.
Pea pehē ʻe ia, “Tala mai hao totongi, pea te u ʻatu ia.”
29 And he said to him, Thou knowest how I have served thee, and what thy cattle has become with me.
Pea pehēange ʻe ia kiate ia, “ʻOku ke ʻilo pe naʻe fēfē ʻeku ngāue kiate koe, pea mo e ʻiate au ʻa hoʻo fanga manu.”
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?
He naʻa ke maʻu siʻi pe, ʻi he heʻeki ai te u haʻu au; pea ko eni kuo tupu ia ʻo lahi ʻaupito; pea kuo tāpuaki koe ʻe Sihova talu ʻeku haʻu: pea ko eni, te u tokonaki afe, ki hoku fale foki ʻoʻoku?”
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:
Pea pehē ʻe ia, “Ko e hā te u foaki kiate koe?” Pea pehē ʻe Sēkope, “E ʻikai te ke foaki mai ha meʻa ʻe taha: ka ko eni kapau te ke fai ʻae meʻa ni kiate au, te u toe fafanga mo tauhi hoʻo fanga manu:
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.
Te u ʻalu ki hoʻo fanga manu he ʻaho ni, ʻo vaheʻi mei ai ʻae ilaila mo e pulepule, pea mo e fanga manu kelo mei he fanga sipi, pea mo e ilaila mo e pulepule mei he fanga kosi: pea ʻe ʻi he fanga manu pehē ʻa ʻeku totongi.
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.
Pea ʻe hā ai ʻa ʻeku angatonu ʻamui, ʻoka hoko ia ko ʻeku totongi ʻi ho ʻao; ko ia kotoa pē ʻe ʻiate au ʻoku ʻikai ilaila mo pulepule ʻi he fanga kosi, mo ia ʻoku ʻikai kelo ʻi he fanga sipi, ʻe lau ia ko ʻeku kaihaʻa.”
34 And Laban said, Well, let it be according to thy word.
Pea pehēange ʻe Lepani, “Ko hoku loto ke fai ʻo hangē ko hoʻo lea.”
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.
Pea ne vaheʻi ʻi he ʻaho ko ia ʻae fanga kosi tangata naʻe ilaila mo pulepule, pea mo e kosi fefine naʻe lavatea mo pulepule, pea ko ia kotoa pē naʻe hinehina hano potu, pea mo e kelo kotoa pē mei he fanga sipi, pea naʻa ne tuku ia ki he nima ʻo hono ngaahi foha.
36 And he put three days' journey between himself and Jacob. And Jacob fed the rest of Laban's flock.
Pea naʻa ne fakamamaʻo mo Sēkope, ʻi he fononga mei ai ʻi he ʻaho ʻe tolu; pea tauhi ʻe Sēkope hono toe ʻoe fanga manu ʻa Lepani.
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.
Pea naʻe toʻo mai ʻe Sēkope ʻae ngaahi vaʻa ʻakau hinehina mo mata, ko e ʻakau ko e futu pea mo e ifi; pea ne fohifohiʻi hono kili, koeʻuhi ke hā mai ʻae ngaahi potu hinehina ʻi he ʻakau.
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.
Pea naʻa ne tuku ʻae ngaahi vaʻa ʻakau naʻa ne fohifohiʻi ʻi he tafeʻanga vai, mo e ngaahi tukuʻanga vai, ʻi he haʻu ʻae fanga manu ke inu, koeʻuhi ke nau tuituʻia ʻi heʻenau haʻu ke inu.
39 And the flock was ardent before the rods; and the flock brought forth ringstraked, speckled, and spotted.
Pea naʻe tuituʻia ʻae fanga manu ʻi he ʻao ʻoe ngaahi vaʻa ʻakau, pea fanauʻi ʻae ʻuhiki kuo lavatea mo pulepule, mo ilaila.
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.
Pea vavahe ʻe Sēkope ʻae fanga lami, pea ne fakahanga ʻae mata ʻoe fanga manu ki he lavatea, pea mo e faʻahinga kelo kotoa pē ʻi he fanga manu ʻa Lepani; pea ne tuku kehe pe ʻene fanga manu ʻaʻana, mei he fanga manu ʻa Lepani.
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;
Pea naʻe pehē, ʻi he tuituʻia ʻae manu mālohi, naʻe tuku ʻe Sēkope ʻae ngaahi vaʻa ʻakau ʻi he ʻao ʻoe fanga manu ʻi he tafeʻanga vai, koeʻuhi ke nau tuituʻia ʻi he lotolotonga ʻoe ngaahi ʻakau.
42 but when the sheep were feeble, he put [them] not in; so the feeble were Laban's, and the strong Jacob's.
Ka naʻe ʻikai te ne ai ʻae ʻakau ki he ʻao ʻoe fanga manu vaivai: ko ia naʻe ia Lepani ʻae vaivai, pea naʻe ia Sēkope ʻae mālohi.
43 And the man increased very, very much, and had much cattle, and bondwomen, and bondmen, and camels, and asses.
Pea naʻe tupu ke koloaʻia ʻaupito ʻae tangata, pea lahi ʻene fanga manu, mo e kau kaunanga, mo e kau tamaioʻeiki, mo e fanga kāmeli, mo e fanga ʻasi.
