< Genesis 29 >

1 Then Iaakob lift vp his feete and came into the East countrey.
Eka Jakobo nodhi nyime gi wuoth kendo nochopo e piny ogendini man yo wuok chiengʼ.
2 And as he looked about, behold there was a well in the field, and lo, three flocks of sheepe lay thereby (for at that well were the flockes watered) and there was a great stone vpon the welles mouth.
Nopo koneno soko ei pap kod kweth adek mag rombe konindo machiegni kanyo nikech kwethgo ne modho e sokono. To kidi mane nitie e dho sokono ne duongʼ.
3 And thither were all the flockes gathered, and they rolled the stone from the welles mouth, and watered the sheepe, and put the stone againe vpon the welles mouth in his place.
Jokwath nengʼielo kidi kane jamni osechokore kanyo mondo gimodhi. Bangʼ ka jamni duto osemodho, to ne gingʼielo kidino mondo odog oum dho soko.
4 And Iaakob sayde vnto them, My brethren, whence be ye? And they answered, We are of Haran.
Jakobo nopenjo jokwath niya, “Owetena ua kanye?” Negidwoke niya, “Waa Haran.”
5 Then he sayd vnto them, Know ye Laban the sonne of Nahor? Who said, We know him.
Nowachonegi niya, “Bende ungʼeyo Laban nyakwar Nahor?” Negidwoke niya, “Ee, wangʼeye.”
6 Againe he sayd vnto them, Is he in good health? And they answered, He is in good health, and beholde, his daughter Rahel commeth with the sheepe.
Eka Jakobo nopenjogi niya, “Ongima?” Negidwoke niya, “Ee, ongima, kendo mabiro gi rombe cha en Rael ma nyare.”
7 Then he sayd, Lo, it is yet hie day, neither is it time that the cattell shoulde be gathered together: water ye the sheepe and go feede them.
Nowachonegi niya, “Neuru, piny pod chon, sa michokoe jamni podi. Weuru rombe omodhi bangʼe uduokgi e lek.”
8 But they sayde, We may not vntill all the flocks be brought together, and till men rolle the stone from the welles mouth, that we may water the sheepe.
Negidwoke niya, “Ok wanyal timo kamano kapok jokwath duto ochokore ma wangʼielo kidi manie dho soko oko mondo jamni omodhi.”
9 While he talked with them, Rahel also came with her fathers sheepe, for she kept them.
Kane pod oyudo owuoyo kodgi, Rael nochopo gi romb wuon-gi nikech en ema nokwayogi.
10 And assoone as Iaakob saw Rahel ye daughter of Laban his mothers brother, and the sheepe of Laban his mothers brother, then came Iaakob neere, and rolled the stone from the welles mouth, and watered ye flocke of Laban his mothers brother.
Kane Jakobo oneno Rael, nyar Laban ner mare kod romb Laban, nodhi mongʼielo kidi oko e dho soko kendo omiyo romb ner mare omodho.
11 And Iaakob kissed Rahel, and lift vp his voyce and wept.
Eka Jakobo nonyodho Rael kendo noywak gi dwol maduongʼ.
12 (For Iaakob tolde Rahel, that he was her fathers brother, and that he was Rebekahs sonne) then she ranne and tolde her father.
Noyudo osenyiso Rael ni en wat wuon Rael kendo ni en wuod Rebeka. Kuom mano Rael nodhi monyiso wuon mare.
13 And when Laban heard tell of Iaakob his sisters sonne, he ranne to meete him, and embraced him and kissed him, and brought him to his house: and he tolde Laban all these things.
To kane Laban owinjo wach mar Jakobo, wuod nyamin noringo mondo odhi oromne. Nokwake kendo omose gimor mi orwake dalane kendo Jakobo nonyise gik moko duto.
14 To whome Laban sayd, Well, thou art my bone and my flesh. and he abode with him the space of a moneth.
Eka Laban nowachone niya, “In ringra awuon kendo remba.” Kane Jakobo ne osedak kod Laban kuom dwe achiel,
15 For Laban sayde vnto Iaakob, Though thou be my brother, shouldest thou therfore serue me for nought? tell me, what shalbe thy wages?
Laban nowachone niya, “Mana nikech in watna, bende en gima ber tiyona maonge chudo? Nyisa gima dachul.”
16 Now Laban had two daughters, the elder called Leah, and the yonger called Rahel.
To Laban ne nigi nyiri ariyo: nyako maduongʼ ne nyinge Lea kendo nyako matin ne nyinge Rael.
17 And Leah was tender eyed, but Rahel was beautifull and faire.
Lea ne nigi wangʼ ma ok nenre maber, to Rael ne nigi chia kendo jaber.
18 And Iaakob loued Rahel, and sayde, I will serue thee seuen yeeres for Rahel thy yonger daughter.
Jakobo nohero Rael, kendo nowacho ni Laban niya, “Abiro tiyoni kuom higni abiriyo kuom Rael nyari matin.”
19 Then Laban answered, It is better that I giue her thee, then that I should giue her to another man: abide with me.
Laban nowacho niya, “Ber mondo amiyi godo moloyo chiwe ni jomoko. Koro dag mana koda ka.”
20 And Iaakob serued seuen yeres for Rahel, and they seemed vnto him but a few dayes, because he loued her.
Omiyo Jakobo notiyone Laban higni abiriyo mondo oyud Rael, to hignigo nonenorene mana ka ndalo matin nikech hera manoherogo Rael.
21 Then Iaakob sayde to Laban, Giue me my wife, that I may goe in to her: for my terme is ended.
Eka Jakobo nowacho ne Laban, “Asetieko ndalo mane iketona, omiyo koro miya nyari mondo obed chiega.”
22 Wherefore Laban gathered together all the men of the place, and made a feast.
Kuom mano Laban noloso nyasi kendo nogwelo ji duto mae pinyno.
23 But whe the euening was come, he tooke Leah his daughter and brought her to him, and he went in vnto her.
To kane ochopo odhiambo, Laban nokawo nyare ma Lea mi omiyo Jakobo mondo obed chiege.
24 And Laban gaue his mayde Zilpah to his daughter Leah, to be her seruant.
Kendo Laban nochiwo Zilpa jatichne ma nyako ne nyare, Lea, mondo obed jatichne.
25 But when the morning was come, behold, it was Leah. Then sayde he to Laban, Wherefore hast thou done thus to mee? did not I serue thee for Rahel? wherfore then hast thou beguiled me?
Kane piny oru, Jakobo nofwenyo mana ni en Lea! Omiyo nopenjo Laban niya, “Angʼo momiyo isetimona kama? Donge natiyoni mondo imiya Rael? To angʼo momiyo isewuonda?”
26 And Laban answered, It is not the maner of this place, to giue the yonger before the elder.
Laban nodwoke niya, “Ok en timwa mondo nyako matin okuong odhi tedo ne nyako maduongʼ.
27 Fulfill seuen yeeres for her, and we wil also giue thee this for the seruice, which thou shalt serue me yet seuen yeeres more.
Rit nyaka watiek juma achiel mar nyasi mar nyakoni; eka abiro miyi Rael kiyie tiyona kuom higni abiriyo mamoko.”
28 Then Iaakob did so, and fulfilled her seuen yeeres, so he gaue him Rahel his daughter to be his wife.
Kendo Jakobo notimo kamano. Notieko jumb kend mar Lea. Eka Laban nomiye Rael nyare mondo obed chiege.
29 Laban also gaue to Rahel his daughter Bilhah his mayde to be her seruant.
Laban nochiwo Bilha jatichne ma nyako ne Rael nyare kaka jatichne.
30 So entred he in to Rahel also, and loued also Rahel more then Leah, and serued him yet seuen yeeres more.
Jakobo nobedoe achiel gi Rael bende kendo nohero Rael moloyo Lea. Kendo notiyone Laban higni abiriyo moko kendo.
31 When the Lord saw that Leah was despised, he made her fruitful: but Rahel was barren.
Kane Jehova Nyasaye oneno ni Lea ne ok oher, ne oyawo iye to Rael noketo obedo migumba.
32 And Leah conceiued and bare a sonne, and she called his name Reuben: for she said, Because the Lord hath looked vpon my tribulation, now therefore mine husband will loue me.
Lea nomako ich kendo nonywolo wuowi. Nowacho niya, “Jehova Nyasaye oseneno chandruokna, kendo koro chwora biro hera.” Omiyo nochake ni Reuben.
33 And she conceiued againe and bare a sonne, and sayde, Because the Lord heard that I was hated, he hath therefore giuen me this sonne also, and she called his name Simeon.
Nochako omako ich, monywolo wuowi moro. Nowacho niya, “Jehova Nyasaye osemiya wuowi machielo nimar nowinjo ka chwora ok ohera.” Omiyo nochake ni Simeon.
34 And she conceiued againe and bare a sonne, and said, Now at this time wil my husband keepe mee company, because I haue borne him three sonnes: therefore was his name called Leui.
Nochako omako ich, kendo ochako onywolo wuowi. Nowacho niya, “Koro chwora biro padore kuoma nikech asenywolone yawuowi adek.” Omiyo nochake ni Lawi.
35 Moreouer shee conceiued againe and bare a sonne, saying, Nowe will I prayse the Lord: therefore shee called his name Iudah, and left bearing.
Nochako omako ich, kendo kane ochako onywolo wuowi nowacho niya, “Koro abiro pako Jehova Nyasaye.” Omiyo nochake ni Juda. Bangʼ mano noweyo nywolo nyithindo.
