Genesis 29
1 Jacob went quickly on his way, and arrived in the land of the eastern people.
Jekopu'a masetere hume vuno, zage hanati kaziga vahe'mofo mopafi uhanati'ne.
2 As he looked around he saw a well in a field with three flocks of sheep lying down beside it, waiting to be given water. A large stone covered the top of the well.
Agra kesga huno trazampi keana, tinkerire tagufa afu kevu masenageno ke'ne, ana tikerireti sipisipiramina tina afi'za nezmize. Hanki ana tinkerimofo agitera ra have runkani rente'naze.
3 The usual practice was that once all the flocks had arrived, the shepherds would roll away the stone from the well and give their sheep water. Then they would put the stone back again.
Anante mika sipisipi kva vahe'mo'za utru hute'za, kerimofo agiteti havea atufe ante'ne'za, tina afi'za sipisipi zamia zamite'za, ete ana havea atufe'za ana kerimofo avazare runkani rentetere nehazane.
4 Jacob asked them, “My brothers, where are you from?” “We're from Haran,” they replied.
Hagi Jekopu'a zamagrikura amanage hu'ne, Nafuheta tamagra igatire? Hige'za kenona hu'za, Tagra Haranitire.
5 “Do you know Laban, Nahor's grandson?” he asked. “Yes, we know him,” they replied.
Hazageno Agra amanage huno zamasmi'ne, Nahori negeho Lebanina ke'nazo? Hige'za zamagra kenona amanage hu'naze, Tagra agrira ke'none.
6 “How is he?” he asked. “He's well,” they replied. “Look! In fact here's his daughter Rachel coming with the sheep right now.”
Hazageno Jekopu'a zamagrira amanage huno zamasmi'ne, Lebani'a knare huno mani'nefi? Hige'za zamagra hu'za, Agra knare huno mani'ne. Hanki antu ko, agri'mofa Resoli'a sipisipi zaga'ane ne-e.
7 “Look, there's still plenty of daylight left,” said Jacob. “It's too early to round up the sheep yet. Why not let them drink so they can go back to grazing?”
Hazageno Jekopu'a anage huno zamasmine, Keho, zagea anamifi megeno afu'zagarami eritru hukna omane'neanki, sipisipi afuzaga tina nezmita zamavareta vinke'za trazana ome neho, huno nehige'za,
8 “We can't do that until all the flocks have arrived,” they told him. “Then we roll away the stone from the well and let the sheep drink.”
zamagra amanage hu'naze, E'inahura osu'nenunkeno mika'a emetru hute'nageta, tinkeriretira have avaza'a eritreta tina afi zamisunke'za negahaze.
9 While he was still talking with them Rachel arrived with the flock she was looking after for her father.
Hagi Jekopu'a nanekea zamagrane nehigeno, Resoli'a agra sipisipi kva nehia mofakino, nefa sipisipi zamavareno e'ne.
10 When Jacob saw Rachel, the daughter of Laban, his mother's brother, he went over and rolled away the stone from the well so Laban's sheep could drink.
Jekopu'a nenogo Lebani mofa Resoli'ma sipisipi'ane ne-egeno, negeno vuno tin keriretira havea ome rekrehe huno, nerera nesaro Lebani sipisipia ti afizmi'ne.
11 Then Jacob kissed Rachel and wept for joy.
Anante Jekopu'a Resolina antako hunenteno, ranke huno zavi ate'ne.
12 (He had told her that he was the son of Laban's brother and Rebekah.) She ran and told her father what had happened.
Jekopu'a Resolina amanage huno asamine, Nafakamofo nesaro Rebeka mofavre mani'noe, higeno Resoli'a agareno vuno nefa ome asmi'ne.
13 As soon as Laban heard the news about Jacob he ran out to meet him. He hugged him and kissed him, and took him home. After Jacob had explained everything to Laban,
Hanki Lebani'a nesaro mofavre nenogo nenekema nentahino'a, ome ke'naku agareno vuno, ome anukino antako hunenteno avreno noma'afi e'ne. Ana higeno Jekopu'a hakare'a kea asami vaga'rene.
14 Laban told him, “No question about it—you're my own flesh and blood!” Jacob stayed with Laban for a month.
Ana hutegeno Lebani'a amanage huno asami'ne, Kagra nagri kora mani'nane. Higeno Jekopu'a anante mago ika agrane mani'ne.
15 One day Laban said to him, “You're my relative so you shouldn't be working for me for nothing! Tell me, what should I pay you?”
Hagi Lebani'a amanage huno Jekopuna asami'ne, Kagra nagri kora mani'nankure hunka amne eri'zana e'origahane. Nama'a kagrira miza hugantegahufi nasamio?
16 Laban had two daughters. The older one was Leah, and the younger one was Rachel.
Lebani'a tare mofatre zanante'ne, kotamofo agi'a Lia'e, osi'mofo agi'a Resoli'e.
17 Leah had kind eyes, but Rachel had a shapely figure and beautiful looks.
Lia avurgamo'a kazakiri'ne, hagi Resoli avurgamo'ene, avufgamo enena knarezantfa hu'ne.
18 Jacob was in love with Rachel so he promised Laban, “I'll do seven years work for you for Rachel, your younger daughter.”
Jekopu'a Resolina avesinenteno amanage hu'ne, Nagra 7ni'a kafufi mofaka'a Resolima a'ma erinte'nakura erizanka'a erigantegahue.
19 “Well it's better for me to give her to you than anyone else,” Laban replied. “So stay here and work for me.”
Higeno Lebani'a amanage hu'ne, Ru vahe ami'zankura kagri'ma kamisuana knare hu'neanki nagrane manio.
20 Jacob worked for Laban for seven years, but to him they seemed like just a few days because he really loved her.
Jekopu'a 7ni'a zagegfufi Resolima a'ma erikura eri'zana eri'neankino, ana knamo'a agritera osi knasente'ne. Na'ankure agrama Resolima avesinte'negu anara hu'ne.
21 Then Jacob said to Laban, “I've completed the time we agreed. Now give me your daughter to be my wife.”
Hagi henka ana knamo'a vagaregeno Jekopu'a amanage huno Lebanikura hu'ne, Knama nami'nana knamo'a hago vagareanki, a'ni'a namige'na ara eri'neno.
22 So Laban organized a wedding banquet and invited everyone around to come.
Higeno Lebani'a ana kumate vahera miko zamare tru huno, aravema hu ne'za kre'ne.
23 But once it was dark Laban brought his daughter Leah to Jacob, and he slept with her.
Ana kenegera Lebani'a Lia avreno Jekopu ome amigeno anteno mase'ne.
24 (Laban also arranged for his servant Zilpah to be Leah's personal maid.)
Lebani'a eri'za erinentea a' Zilpa avreno mofa'a Lia katoza huminogu eme ami'ne.
25 When morning came, he saw it was Leah! He went to Laban and asked angrily, “What have you done to me? It was for Rachel that I worked for you! Why have you deceived me?”
Hanki Jekopu'a maseno kotigeno nanterama keana Lia mani'negeno keteno, agra amanage Lebanikura hu'ne, Resolinte eri'zana eri kantenoanki, kagra na'a amazana hunantane? Nahigenka renavatga hane?
26 “Here we don't give the younger daughter in marriage before the firstborn,” Laban replied.
Anage hianagi Lebani'a ana kenona amanage hu'ne, Tagri kumapina nagna'amo nuna'amofo agatereno ve' eri'zana omane'ne.
27 “Finish this week of wedding celebrations and then I'll give you the other daughter as well, as long as you work another seven years for me.”
Mago sonta manitegeta, tagra mago'mofona kamisnunkenka ara erigahananki, ete mago'ene 7ni'a zagegafu eri'zana eri nantegahane.
28 Jacob agreed. He finished the week of wedding celebrations for Leah, and then Laban gave Jacob his daughter Rachel as his wife as well.
Higeno Jekopu'a mago sonta Lia'ene mani vagare'tegeno, Lebani'a mofa'a Resolina avreno Jekopuna amigeno nenaro'za hu'ne.
29 (Laban also arranged for his servant Bilhah to be Rachel's personal maid.)
Lebani'a, katozama'a e'neri a' Bilhana avreno Resoli katoza eri aminogu ami'ne.
30 So Jacob slept with Rachel as well, and he loved Rachel more than Leah. He worked for Laban another seven years for Rachel.
Hanki Jekopu'a Resolina anteno mase'ne, agra Liama avesi nenteama'a agatereno Resolina tusiza huno avesintene. Agra ana nehuno Lebanina erizana 7ni'a zagegafufi erinte'ne.
31 The Lord saw that Leah wasn't loved he helped Leah to have children, but not Rachel.
Hanki Ra Anumzamo'ma keana Jekopu'a Liana avesi ontegeno, Anumzamo'a rimpa eri vasne'ne, ana hianagi Resoli'a narvo a' mani'ne.
32 Leah became pregnant, and had a son she named Reuben, for she said, “The Lord saw how much I was suffering and now my husband will love me!”
Lia'a amu'ene huno ne' kasenteno agi'a Rubeni'e huno nenteno anage hu'ne, Na'ankure Ra Anumzamo natazani'a nazeri knare hiankino, nenave'a avesi nantegahie.
33 Then Leah became pregnant again, and had another son. She said, “The Lord has heard that I'm not loved so he gave me this son.” So she named him Simeon.
Anante Lia'a mago'ene amu'ene huno ne' kasenteno amanage hu'ne, nenave'a avesi onantegeno Ra Anumzamo antahi namino mago'ene ama mofavrea nenamie, nehuno Simioni'e huno agia antemi'ne.
34 Leah became pregnant for the third time, and had another son. She said, “Finally my husband will be attached to me because now I've given him three sons.” That's why he was named Levi.
Anante Lia'a amu'ene huno ne' kasenteno amanage hu'ne, Menina ama knarera, nenave'a tvaonire manigahie. Na'ankure nagra tagufa ne'mofavre kase amue. Ana hu'negu agi'a Levi'e huno antemi'ne.
35 Once again Leah became pregnant and had another son. She named him Judah, for she said, “Now I can really praise the Lord!” After that she had no more children.
Anante Lia'a mago'ene amu'ene huno, ne'mofavre kasenteno amanage hu'ne, Menina nagra Ra Anumzamofo agi'a erisga hue. Ana hu'negu agi'a Juda'e hu'ne. Ana huteno ana a'mo'a mago'ene mofavrea onte'ne.
