< Genesis 30 >

1 And Rachel, seeing herself without children, envied her sister, and said to her husband: Give me children, otherwise I shall die.
Ie nioni’ i Rahkele t’ie tsy nahatoly ho a Iakòbe, le nikirañe an-joke’e, naho hoe re am’ Iakòbe. Ehe meo anake Iraho tsy mone hikenkañe!
2 And Jacob being angry with her, answered: Am I as God, who hath deprived thee of the fruit of thy womb?
Nisolebotse amy Rahkele ty haboseha’ Iakòbe le hoe ty asa’e, Izaho hao ty hisolo an’ Andrianañahare nitañe ama’o ty vokan-koviñe?
3 But she said: I have here my servant Bala: go in unto her, that she may bear upon my knees, and I may have children by her.
Le hoe re, Intoy t’i Bilhae mpitoroko, imoaho hisamaha’e amo ongokoo soa t’ie ty hampionjoñeñe ahy.
4 And she gave him Bala in marriage: who,
Aa le natolo’e aze t’i Bilhae mpitoro’e hialoza’e, naho niziliha’ Iakòbe
5 When her husband had gone in unto her, conceived and bore a son.
vaho niaren-dre, nahatoly anadahy ho a Iakòbe.
6 And Rachel said: The Lord hath judged for me, and hath heard my voice, giving me a son, and therefore she called his name Dan.
Le hoe t’i Rahkele, Nañomey to ahiko t’i Andrianañahare; toe jinanji’e i fitoreokoy naho nitolora’e ana-dahy. Aa le natao’e Dane ty añara’e.
7 And again Bala conceived and bore another,
Niareñe indraike t’i Bilhae mpitoro’ i Rahkele, naho nahatoly ana-dahy faha roe ho a Iakòbe.
8 For whom Rachel said: God hath compared me with my sister, and I have prevailed: and she called him Nephtali.
Le hoe t’i Rahkele, Am-pifangatorañe mafe ty nifangatòrako aman-jokeko le nahalefe, vaho natao’e Naftalý ty añara’e.
9 Lia, perceiving that she had left off bearing, gave Zelpha her handmaid to her husband.
Ie rendre’ i Leae te nijihetse ty fisamaha’e, le rinambe’e t’i Zilpae mpitoroñ’ ampela’e vaho natolo’e am’ Iakòbe hialoza’e.
10 And when she had conceived and brought forth a son,
Nisamak’ ana-dahy ho a Iakòbe t’i Zilpae mpitoro’ i Leae.
11 She said: Happily. And therefore called his name Gad.
Le hoe t’i Leae, Hasoa tata! Aa le natao’e Gade ty añara’e.
12 Zelpha also bore another.
Mbe nisamak’ ana-dahy fañindroe’e ho a Iakòbe t’i Zilpae mpitoro’ i Leae.
13 And Lia said: This is for my happiness: for women will call me blessed. Therefore she called him Aser.
Le hoe t’i Leae, Hete! ty haehako! Hatao’ o anak’ ampelao haha iraho. Aa le natao’e Asere ty añara’e.
14 And Ruben, going out in the time of the wheat harvest into the field, found mandrakes: which he brought to his mother Lia. And Rachel said: Give me part of thy son’s mandrakes.
Ie an-tsam-pitatahañe vare-bolè, nomb’an-tetek’ ao t’i Reòbene le nahatendreke fañanintsiñe vaho nañandesa’e t’i Leae, rene’e. Le hoe t’i Rahkele amy Leae, Añomezo amo fañanintsin’ ana’oo.
15 She answered: Dost thou think it a small matter, that thou hast taken my husband from me, unless thou take also my son’s mandrakes? Rachel said: He shall sleep with thee this night, for thy son’s mandrakes.
Fe hoe re ama’e, Raha kede ama’o hao te nasinta’o amako i valikoy, te hitavaña’o ty fañanintsin’ anako ka? Le hoe t’i Rahkele, Aa le ho meako azo hiolora’o te anito ty amo fañanintsin’ ana’oo.
16 And when Jacob returned at even from the field, Lia went out to meet him, and said: Thou shalt come in unto me, because I have hired thee for my son’s mandrakes. And he slept with her that night.
Ie boak’ an-teteke ey t’Iakòbe amy harivay, le niakatse hanalaka aze t’i Leae nanao ty hoe, Ahiko irehe te anito fa fifofoañe ty nifofoako azo amo fañanintsin’ anakoo. Aa le niolora’e amy haleñey.
17 And God heard her prayers: and she conceived and bore the fifth son,
Nihaoñen’ Añahare t’i Leae vaho niaren-dre, le nahatoly ana-dahy faha-lime ho a Iakòbe.
18 And said: God hath given me a reward, because I gave my handmaid to my husband. And she called his name Issachar.
Hoe t’i Leae, Nitambezan’ Añahare Iraho ty amy nanolorako i mpitoro-ampelakoiy amy valeko. Le natao’e Iisakare ty añara’e.
19 And Lia conceived again, and bore the sixth son,
Niareñe indraike t’i Leae le nisamake ty ana-dahi’e fah’ eneñe ho a Iakòbe.
20 And said: God hath endowed me with a good dowry: this turn also my husband will be with me, because I have borne him six sons: and therefore she called his name Zabulon.
Le hoe t’i Leae, Nitoloran’ Añahare ravoravo fanjàka iraho. Tsy mahay tsy himoneñe amako ty valiko henane zao, amy te nahatoly ana-dahy eneñe ho aze. Le natao’e Zebolòne ty añara’e.
21 After whom she bore a daughter, named Dina.
Ie añe le nahatoly anak’ ampela re vaho natao’e Dinae ty añara’e.
22 The Lord also remembering Rachel, heard her, and opened her womb.
Nitiahien’Añahare amy zao t’i Rahkele le nahajanjiñe aze t’i Andrianañahare vaho sinoka’e ty hovi’e.
23 And she conceived, and bore a son, saying: God hath taken away my reproach.
Niaren-dre le nahatoly ana-dahy vaho nanao ty hoe, Fa nafahan’ Añahare amako ty ìnje.
24 And she called his name Joseph, saying: The Lord give me also another son.
Natao’e Iosefe ty añara’e ami’ty hoe: Ehe t’ie ho tovoña’ Iehovà ana-dahy.
25 And when Joseph was born, Jacob said to his father in law: Send me away that I may return into my country, and to my land.
Ie nasama’ i Rahkele t’Iosefe, le hoe t’Iakòbe amy Labàne. Ampionjono mb’eo Iraho himpoliako mb’an-toeko naho mb’an-taneko añe.
26 Give me my wives, and my children, for whom I have served thee, that I may depart: thou knowest the service that I have rendered thee.
Meo ahiko o valiko naho anako nitoroñako azoo, vaho ampionjono. Fohi’o i fifanehafako nitoroñako azoy.
27 Laban said to him: Let me find favour in thy sight: I have learned by experience, that God hath blessed me for thy sake.
Aa hoe t’i Labàne ama’e, Naho nahatendreke fañisohañe a’ maso’o iraho, le mitoboha hey. Fa am-pitsikarahañe ty naharen­drehako te nitahie’ Iehovà Iraho ty ama’o.
28 Appoint thy wages which I shall give thee.
Tinovo’e ty hoe, Ano ty ho tambe’o le hatoloko.
29 But he answered: Thou knowest how I have served thee, and how great thy possession hath been in my hands.
Hoe t’Iakòbe ama’e, Fohi’o ty nifa­nehafako ho azo naho ty hasoa’ o hare’oo t’ie amako.
30 Thou hadst but little before I came to thee, and now thou art become rich: and the Lord hath blessed thee at my coming. It is reasonable therefore that I should now provide also for my own house.
Ty kedekede tama’o taolo’ i fiavikoy le fa nitombo ho maro, vaho nitahy azo t’Iehovà ndra aia aia ty nombako. Aa ie henaneo, ombia ty hanoeko ho a i trañokoy, izaho ka?
31 And Laban said: What shall I give thee? But he said: I require nothing: but if thou wilt do what I demand, I will feed, and keep thy sheep again.
Aa hoe re: Ino ty homeako azo? Le hoe ty natoi’ Iakòbe, Ko añomeza’o ndra inoñ’ inoñe, fa naho o raha zao ty hanoe’o amako, le handrazeko vaho hambenako indraike o mpirai-lia’oo.
32 Go round through all thy flocks, and separate all the sheep of divers colours, and speckled: and all that is brown and spotted, and of divers colours, as well among the sheep, as among the goats, shall be my wages.
Angao ho tsitsifeko o mpirai-lia’oo te anito le fonga haviko ze añondry merembitike naho voanato, naho ze vik’ añondry mainteinte, vaho ze ose poapoake ndra varevare; irezay ty ho tambeko.
33 And my justice shall answer for me tomorrow before thee when the time of the bargain shall come: and all that is not of divers colours, and spotted, and brown, as well among the sheep as among the goats, shall accuse me of theft.
Hitalily ahy ty havantañako te añe, naho hiatreke o lahara’oo o tambekoo. Ze ose tsy varevare ndra poapoake oniñe amako, ndra ze vik’añondry tsy mainte le hatao kinametse.
34 And Laban said: I like well what thou demandest.
Noko izay, hoe t’i Labàne. Ie i vinola’oy.
35 And he separated the same day the she goats, and the sheep, and the he goats, and the rams of divers colours, and spotted: and all the flock of one colour, that is, of white and black fleece, he delivered into the hands of his sons.
Fe amy àndroy avao le naveve’ i Labàne ze hene ose­lahy varevare ndra poapoake naho ze ose-vave varevare ndra poake (naho ze aman-kafotiañe) naho ze vik’ añondry mainte vaho natolo’e an-taña’ o ana’eo;
36 And he set the space of three days’ journey betwixt himself and his son in law, who fed the rest of his flock.
le nasitake lia telo andro amy Iakòbe, naho nandraze’ Iakòbe ty ila’ o mpirai-lia’ i Labàneo.
37 And Jacob took green rods of poplar, and of almond, and of plane trees, and pilled them in part: so when the bark was taken off, in the parts that were pilled, there appeared whiteness: but the parts that were whole remained green: and by this means the colour was divers.
Nangalake ran-talý naho sohihy naho hatae tsotra t’Iakobe vaho niholire’e o ran-kataeo hampiboake ty foty amo ran-kataeo.
38 And he put them in the troughs, where the water was poured out: that when the flocks should come to drink, they might have the rods before their eyes, and in the sight of them might conceive.
Le napo’e aolo’ o mpirai-liao o ran-kataeo añ’ila’ o dabaoga finoma’ o mpirai-liaoo t’ie avy hinon-drano, ie toe mitongoa naho minon-drano.
39 And it came to pass that in the very heat of coition, the sheep beheld the rods, and brought forth spotted, and of divers colours, and speckled.
Aa ie nisahe añ’ atrefa’ o ran-kataeo o mpirai-liao le nampipoke anake tanteharañe ndra varevare, ndra poapoake.
40 And Jacob separated the flock, and put the rods in the troughs before the eyes of the rams: and all the white and the black were Laban’s: and the rest were Jacob’s, when the flocks were separated one from the other.
Navi’ Iakòbe o ana’eo, le nampisahe’e amo misoritsori­tseo naho amy ze mainte amo lia’rai’ i Labaneo, toe naveve’e o mpirai-lia’eo, tsy naharo’e amo mpirai-lia’ i Labaneo.
41 So when the ewes went first to ram, Jacob put the rods in the troughs of water before the eyes of the rams, and of the ewes, that they might conceive while they were looking upon them:
Ie te hisahe o hare maoza­tseo, le nasampe’e ey o ran-kataeo ho trea’ o hàreo amo dabaogao, soa te hisahe aolo’ o ran-kataeo,
42 But when the latter coming was, and the last conceiving, he did not put them. And those that were lateward, became Laban’s: and they of the first time, Jacob’s.
fa naho naleme o hareo, tsy nampipoha’e ao izay. Aa le ninjare maleme ty fanaña’ i Labàne vaho naozatse o a Iakòbeo.
43 And the man was enriched exceedingly, and he had many flocks, maid servants and men servants, camels and asses.
Aa le vata’e niraorao indatiy, nihatsifotofoto o mpirai’ lia’eo, ie amam-pitoro lahy naho ampela, rameva vaho borike.
