Genesis 29
1 Then Jacob went on in his journey, and came into the east country.
Basa ma, Yakob lao nakandoo seriꞌ rulu neu.
2 And he saw a well in the field, and three flocks of sheep lying by it: for the beasts were watered out of it, and the mouth thereof was closed with a great stone.
Faiꞌ esa, ana nita oe mataꞌ sa deka kamboꞌ esa. Hiek-lombo nononggoꞌ telu, nea-nea rae rinu sia naa. Te fatu monaeꞌ esa tatana oe mataꞌ a.
3 And the custom was, when all the sheep were gathered together to roll away the stone, and after the sheep were watered, to put it on the mouth of the well again.
Mia doo na, mete ma hiek-lombo basa se raꞌabꞌue, dei fo manatadꞌa ra oꞌo dinggoꞌ fatu a, fo hando oe fee se rinu. Basa fo, ara tatana baliꞌ oe mataꞌ a.
4 And he said to the shepherds: Brethren, whence are you? They answered: Of Haran.
Yakob natane manatadꞌa ra nae, “Hei ma bee ima?” Ara rataa rae, “Hai, mia kambo Haran ia.”
5 And he asked them, saying: Know you Laban the son of Nachor? They said: We know him.
Yakob natane seluꞌ nae, “Mihine toꞌo Labꞌan ngga, do? Eni, Nahor anan.” Ara rataa rae, “Hai mihine.”
6 He said: Is he in health? He is in health, say they: and behold Rachel his daughter cometh with his flock.
Ma Yakob natane fai nae, “Ana malolole, do?” Ara rataa rae, “Tou lasiꞌ a malolole. Sobꞌa mete dei. Naa, eni ana feto na, naran Rahel. Ana mboo nendi hiek-lombo nara rema rinu sia ia. De muhani e.”
7 And Jacob said: There is yet much day remaining, neither is it time to bring the flocks into the folds again: first give the sheep drink, and so lead them back to feed.
Basa ma Yakob olaꞌ nae, “Oras ia, feꞌe rereloꞌ. Malole lenaꞌ banda bee raꞌabꞌue sia ia ena, naa, hei fee se rinu leo. Basa fo, mboo mendi se nembe reu, fo raa selu uru.”
8 They answered: We cannot, till all the cattle be gathered together, and we remove the stone from the well’s mouth, that we may water the flocks.
Te ara rareresi rae, “We, nda taꞌo naa sa! Hai musi mihani manatadꞌa ra basa se mboo rendi banda ra raꞌabꞌue sia ia dei, fo hai feꞌe oꞌo dinggoꞌ fatu a, fo hani se.”
9 They were yet speaking, and behold Rachel came with her father’s sheep: for she fed the flock.
Yakob feꞌe ola-olaꞌ no atahori ra ma, Rahel losa no ama na hiek-lombo nara. Eni mana biasa mboo banda naa ra.
10 And when Jacob saw her, and knew her to be his cousin-german, and that they were the sheep of Laban, his uncle: he removed the stone wherewith the well was closed.
Yakob nita Rahel ma hiek-lombo nara ma, ana neu oꞌo dinggoꞌ oe mataꞌ a tatana na. De hani toꞌo na banda nara.
11 And having watered the flock, he kissed her: and lifting up his voice, wept.
Basa ma, ana neu holu-idu Rahel, ma nggae.
12 And he told her that he was her father’s brother, and the son of Rebecca: but she went in haste and told her father.
Ana dui Rahel nae, “Odꞌi! Au ia, ho ama ma odꞌi na Ribka anan.” Boe ma, Rahel nela baliꞌ neu nafadꞌe ama na.
13 Who, when he heard that Jacob his sister’s son was come, ran forth to meet him; and embracing him, and heartily kissing him, brought him into his house. And when he had heard the causes of his journey,
Labꞌan rena Rahel dui soꞌal Yakob, eni odꞌi na Ribka anan ma, ana nelaꞌ neu soru e. Ara randaa ma, Labꞌan holu ma idu e. Basa ma, no Yakob ume neu, de Yakob dui basaꞌ e neu e.
14 He answered: Thou art my bone and my flesh. And after the days of one month were expired,
Ma Labꞌan olaꞌ nae, “Memaꞌ tebꞌe! Hita ruꞌa nggita bobꞌonggiꞌ!” Yakob leo no se losa fula esa ena ma,
15 He said to him: Because thou art my brother, shalt thou serve me without wages? Tell me what wages thou wilt have.
Labꞌan olaꞌ no e nae, “Taꞌo ia, Ako! Au nda nau ho tao ues mudꞌaꞌ sa, huu ruꞌa nggita bobꞌonggiꞌ. Ho moꞌe nggadiꞌ baꞌu sa?”
16 Now he had two daughters, the name of the elder was Lia: and the younger was called Rachel.
Labꞌan ana feton rua. Aꞌa ka, naran Lea, ma odꞌi ka, naran Rahel.
17 But Lia was blear eyed: Rachel was well favoured, and of a beautiful countenance.
Lea, akaꞌ mata deke na fo maloleꞌ, te Rahel meulau na seli.
18 And Jacob being in love with her, said: I will serve thee seven years for Rachel thy younger daughter.
Yakob sue Rahel, de nataa Labꞌan nae, “Au tao ues fee toꞌo too hitu, sadꞌi toꞌo fee au sao ala Rahel.”
19 Laban answered: It is better that I give her to thee than to another man; stay with me.
Ma Labꞌan nataa nae, “Au nau! Malole lenaꞌ au fee ne sao nggo, fo au bobꞌonggi ngga. Naa fo, atahori feaꞌ afiꞌ sao rala e. De leo siaꞌ a ia, fo tao ues fee au.”
20 So Jacob served seven years for Rachel: and they seemed but a few days, because of the greatness of his love.
Boe ma Yakob tao ues too hitu, fo bisa sao Rahel. Huu ana sue Rahel seli, naa de, too hitu naa ra, ana medꞌa onaꞌ fai hiraꞌ a.
21 And he said to Laban: Give me my wife; for now the time is fulfilled, that I may go in unto her.
Basa too hitu naa ra ma, Yakob fee nesenenedꞌaꞌ neu Labꞌan nae, “Toꞌo! Au tao ues fee toꞌo too hitu ena. De fee au sao Rahel leo.”
22 And he, having invited a great number of his friends to the feast, made the marriage.
Boe ma, Labꞌan lemba-dꞌodꞌe se, de narolo basa atahori sia nusaꞌ naa.
23 And at night he brought in Lia his daughter to him,
Tetembaꞌ naa, Labꞌan nda fee Rahel sa, te ana fee Lea nisiꞌ Yakob lalaat na rala. De Yakob sungguꞌ no e. Mbila fefetu na ma, Yakob feꞌe bubꞌuluꞌ nae, eni sao Lea. De ana neu natane Labꞌan nae, “Saa de toꞌo eꞌedꞌik au? Au tao ues too hitu, fo ae sao Rahel! Taꞌo bee de nggati no Lea?” Ma Labꞌan nataa nae, “Afiꞌ mumunasa taꞌo naa! Tungga hai adat ma, odꞌiꞌ afiꞌ sao naꞌahuluꞌ aꞌaꞌ. Malole lenaꞌ taꞌo ia! Muhani lemba-dꞌodꞌeꞌ ia losa fai hitu basa dei. Basa fo, ho sao Rahel, sadꞌi ho tao ues fee au too hitu fai.” Boe ma Labꞌan fee ate ina na, naran Silpa, fo dadꞌi Lea ate na.
24 Giving his daughter a handmaid, named Zelpha. Now when Jacob had gone in to her according to custom when morning was come he saw it was Lia:
25 And he said to his father in law: What is it that thou didst mean to do? did not I serve thee for Rachel? why hast thou deceived me?
26 Laban answered: It is not the custom in this place, to give the younger in marriage first.
27 Make up the week of days of this match: and I will give thee her also, for the service that thou shalt render me other seven years.
28 He yielded to his pleasure: and after the week was past, he married Rachel:
Yakob o nau boe. Naa de, fefeta fai kahituꞌ a basa ma, Labꞌan naꞌasasaoꞌ Rahel no Yakob.
29 To whom her father gave Bala for her servant.
Labꞌan fee ate inaꞌ na esa fai, naran Bilha, fo dadꞌi Rahel ate na.
30 And having at length obtained the marriage he wished for, he preferred the love of the latter before the former, and served with him other seven years.
Basa ma, Yakob sungguꞌ no Rahel. Ana sue Rahel lenaꞌ Lea, de tao ues seluꞌ too hitu fee ama ari na.
31 And the Lord seeing that he despised Lia, opened her womb, but her sister remained barren.
LAMATUALAIN nahine Yakob sue Rahel lenaꞌ Lea. De Ana fee Lea bꞌonggi, te Rahel nda bꞌonggi sa.
32 And she conceived and bore a son, and called his name Ruben, saying: The Lord saw my affliction: now my husband will love me.
Lea nairu, de bꞌonggi ana touꞌ esa. Ana nae, “LAMATUALAIN memaꞌ nita au sususa ngga. Ia naa, sao ngga nau mete-seꞌu au, huu anaꞌ ia.” Naa de, ana babꞌae anaꞌ a, Ruben (lii na, naeꞌ a onaꞌ dedꞌeat esa fo sosoa na, ‘ana nita au sususa ngga ena’).
33 And again she conceived and bore a son, and said: Because the Lord heard that I was despised, he hath given this also to me: and she called his name Simeon.
Basa ma, Lea nairu seluꞌ, de bꞌonggi ana touꞌ esa fai. Ana nae, “LAMATUALAIN rena au sao ngga nda tao mataꞌ neu au sa. Naa de, Ana fee au anaꞌ esa fai.” Naa de, ana babꞌae anaꞌ naa, Simeon (sosoa na ‘atahori rena ena’).
34 And she conceived the third time, and bore another son: and said: Now also my husband will be joined to me, because I have borne him three sons: and therefore she called his name Levi.
Basa ma, Lea nairu seluꞌ, de bꞌonggi ana touꞌ esa fai. Ana nae, “No anaꞌ ia, au dedꞌeat ngga basa ena. Au sao ngga musi nenepaꞌaꞌ no au, huu au bꞌonggi fee ne ana touꞌ telu ena.” Naa de, ana babꞌae anaꞌ naa, Lewi (sosoa na ‘nenepaꞌaꞌ’).
35 The fourth time she conceived and bore a son, and said: now will I praise the Lord: and for this she called him Juda. And she left bearing.
Basa ma, Lea nairu fai, de bꞌonggi ana touꞌ esa. Ana nae, “Oeꞌ ia, au ae koa-kio LAMATUALAIN!” Naa de, ana babꞌae anaꞌ naa, Yahuda (sosoa na mbei ma ‘koa-kio’). Basa naa ma, Lea nda bꞌonggi sa ena.
