< Genesis 29 >

1 Then Iaakob lift vp his feete and came into the East countrey.
Yaaqoobis karaa isaa itti fufee gara warra biyya baʼaa dhufe.
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.
Innis ilaalee kunoo boolla bishaanii tokko dirree irratti arge; kunoo karri hoolotaa sadii sababii achii bishaan dhuganiif boolla bishaanii sana bira ciciisaa turan. Dhagaan afaan boolla bishaanii sanaa irra ture guddaa ture.
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.
Yeroo karri hoolotaa hundi achitti walitti qabamanitti tiksoonni afaan boolla bishaanii irraa dhagaa gangalchanii hoolota bishaan obaasu turan. Ergasii immoo dhagaa sana iddoo isaatti deebisanii afaan boolla bishaanii irra kaaʼu turan.
4 And Iaakob sayde vnto them, My brethren, whence be ye? And they answered, We are of Haran.
Yaaqoobis tiksoota sanaan, “Yaa obboloota ko, isin warra eessaati?” jedhee gaafate. Isaanis, “Nu warra Kaaraaniiti” jedhanii deebisan.
5 Then he sayd vnto them, Know ye Laban the sonne of Nahor? Who said, We know him.
Innis, “Laabaa ilma Naahoor beektuu?” jedheen. Jarris, “Eeyyee, beekna” jedhanii deebisan.
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.
Yaaqoob immoo, “Inni fayyumaa?” jedhee isaan gaafate. Isaanis, “Eeyyee, fayyuma; kunoo intalli isaa Raahel iyyuu hoolota fiddee dhufaa jirti” jedhaniin.
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.
Innis, “Kunoo, amma lafti guyyaa dha; yeroo itti hoolonni walitti qabaman miti. Hoolota bishaan obaasaatii dhaqaa dheechisaa” jedheen.
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.
Isaanis, “Nu hamma karri hoolotaa hundinuu walitti qabamanii dhagaan sun afaan boolla bishaanii irraa gangalfamutti hin dandeenyu; ergasii hoolota bishaan obaafna” jedhanii deebisan.
9 While he talked with them, Rahel also came with her fathers sheepe, for she kept them.
Utuma inni jara wajjin haasaʼaa jiruu, Raahel waan tiksee turteef hoolota abbaa ishee ooftee dhufte.
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.
Yaaqoob yommuu Raahel, intala obboleessa haadha isaa intala Laabaatii fi hoolota Laabaa argetti dhaqee dhagaa afaan boolla bishaanii irraa gangalchee hoolota eessuma isaa bishaan obaase.
11 And Iaakob kissed Rahel, and lift vp his voyce and wept.
Yaaqoobis Raaheliin dhungate; sagalee ol fudhatees booʼe.
12 (For Iaakob tolde Rahel, that he was her fathers brother, and that he was Rebekahs sonne) then she ranne and tolde her father.
Inni fira abbaa ishee akka taʼee fi ilma Ribqaa akka taʼe Raahelitti hime; isheenis fiigaa dhaqxee abbaa isheetti himte.
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.
Laabaan akkuma waaʼee ilma obboleettii isaa waaʼee Yaaqoob dhagaʼeen isa simachuuf ariifatee baʼe. Innis erga hammatee dhungatee booddee mana isaatti fudhatee gale; Yaaqoobis waan kana hunda Laabaatti hime.
14 To whome Laban sayd, Well, thou art my bone and my flesh. and he abode with him the space of a moneth.
Laabaan immoo, “Ati dhugumaan foon kootii fi dhiiga koo ti” jedheen. Yaaqoob erga jiʼa tokko guutuu Laabaa wajjin turee booddee,
15 For Laban sayde vnto Iaakob, Though thou be my brother, shouldest thou therfore serue me for nought? tell me, what shalbe thy wages?
Laabaan akkana isaan jedhe; “Ati sababii fira koo taateef tola naa hojjechuu qabdaa? Mindaan kee akka hammam taʼuu qabu natti himi.”
16 Now Laban had two daughters, the elder called Leah, and the yonger called Rahel.
Laabaan intallan lama qaba ture; maqaan ishee hangafaa Liyaa ture; maqaan ishee quxisuu immoo Raahel jedhama ture.
17 And Leah was tender eyed, but Rahel was beautifull and faire.
Iji Liyaa dadhabaa ture; Raahel garuu bareedduu fi simboo qabeettii turte.
18 And Iaakob loued Rahel, and sayde, I will serue thee seuen yeeres for Rahel thy yonger daughter.
Yaaqoob Raahelin jaallatee, “Ani waaʼee intala kee ishee quxisuu, Raaheliif jedhee waggaa torba sin tajaajila” jedheen.
19 Then Laban answered, It is better that I giue her thee, then that I should giue her to another man: abide with me.
Laabaan immoo, “Nama biraaf ishee kennuu irra siif kennuu naa wayya; asuma na bira turi” jedhe.
20 And Iaakob serued seuen yeres for Rahel, and they seemed vnto him but a few dayes, because he loued her.
Kanaafuu Yaaqoob Raahelin argachuuf jedhee waggaa torba tajaajile. Inni waan ishee jaallateef waggoonni kunneen guyyoota muraasa isatti fakkaatan.
21 Then Iaakob sayde to Laban, Giue me my wife, that I may goe in to her: for my terme is ended.
Yaaqoobis Laabaadhaan, “Waan yeroon koo xumurameef akka ani ishee bira gaʼuuf niitii koo naa kenni” jedhe.
22 Wherefore Laban gathered together all the men of the place, and made a feast.
Kanaafuu Laabaan namoota iddoo sana jiran hunda walitti qabee cidha qopheesse.
23 But whe the euening was come, he tooke Leah his daughter and brought her to him, and he went in vnto her.
Garuu yeroo lafti galgalaaʼetti intala isaa Liyaa fidee Yaaqoobiif kenne; Yaaqoobis ishee bira gaʼe.
24 And Laban gaue his mayde Zilpah to his daughter Leah, to be her seruant.
Laabaanis akka isheen hojjettuu ishee taatuuf garbittii isaa Zilfaa, intala isaa Liyaadhaaf kenne.
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?
Yommuu lafti bariʼetti kunoo Liyaa taʼuun ishee beekame! Yaaqoobis Laabaadhaan, “Wanni ati na goote kun maali? Ani Raaheliif jedhee si hin tajaajillee? Yoos ati maaliif na gowwoomsite ree?” jedhe.
26 And Laban answered, It is not the maner of this place, to giue the yonger before the elder.
Laabaanis akkana jedhee deebise; “Biyya keenya keessatti intala hangafa dura intala quxisuu heerumsiisuun duudhaa keenya miti.
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.
Torban misirrummaa intala kanaa raawwadhu; ergasii yoo ati waggaa biraa torba naaf hojjette quxisuu ishees siif kennina.”
28 Then Iaakob did so, and fulfilled her seuen yeeres, so he gaue him Rahel his daughter to be his wife.
Yaaqoobis akkasuma godhe. Torban sanas Liyaa wajjin dabarse; ergasiis Laabaan intala isaa Raahelin isatti heerumsiise.
29 Laban also gaue to Rahel his daughter Bilhah his mayde to be her seruant.
Laabaan akka isheen hojjettuu ishee taatuuf xomboree isaa Bilihaa, intala isaa Raaheliif kenne.
30 So entred he in to Rahel also, and loued also Rahel more then Leah, and serued him yet seuen yeeres more.
Yaaqoobis Raahel bira gaʼe; innis Liyaa caalaatti Raahelin jaallate. Waggoota biraa torbas Laabaaf hojjete.
31 When the Lord saw that Leah was despised, he made her fruitful: but Rahel was barren.
Waaqayyo yommuu akka Liyaan hin jaallatamin argetti gadameessa ishee baneef; Raahel garuu dhabduu turte.
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.
Liyaan ulfooftee ilma deesse. Isheenis waan, “Waaqayyo dhiphina koo argeeraatii dhugumaan siʼachi dhirsi koo na jaallata” jetteef maqaa isaa Ruubeen jettee moggaafte.
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.
Isheen ammas yommuu ulfooftee ilma deessetti, “Waaqayyo sababii akka ani hin jaallatamin dhagaʼeef ilma kanas naa kenne” jettee maqaa isaa Simiʼoon jettee moggaafte.
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.
Ammas ulfooftee ilma deesse; isheenis, “Sababii ani ilmaan sadii isaaf daʼeef amma dhirsi koo natti maxxana” jette; kanaafuu mucaan sun Lewwii jedhamee moggaafame.
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.
Ammas isheen ulfooftee ilma deesse; isheenis, “Amma Waaqayyo nan galateeffadha” jette. Kanaafuu maqaa isaa Yihuudaa jettee moggaafte. Ergasiis daʼuu ni dhiifte.
