Genesis 29
1 Then Iaakob lift vp his feete and came into the East countrey.
Ipapo Jakobho akapfuurira mberi norwendo rwake akasvika kunyika yavanhu vokumabvazuva.
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.
Ikoko akaona tsime musango, namapoka matatu amakwai avete pedyo naro nokuti makwai ainwiswa patsime iroro. Ibwe rakanga riri pamuromo wetsime rakanga riri guru.
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.
Mapoka ose aiti aungana ipapo, vafudzi vaikungurutsa ibwe kubva pamuromo wetsime vachinwisa makwai avo. Ipapo vaizodzorera ibwe panzvimbo yaro, ipo pamuromo wetsime.
4 And Iaakob sayde vnto them, My brethren, whence be ye? And they answered, We are of Haran.
Jakobho akabvunza vafudzi akati, “Mabvepiko, hama dzangu?” Ivo vakapindura vakati, “Tabva kuHarani.”
5 Then he sayd vnto them, Know ye Laban the sonne of Nahor? Who said, We know him.
Iye akati kwavari, “Munoziva Rabhani, muzukuru waNahori here?” Vakapindura vakati, “Hongu, tinomuziva.”
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.
Ipapo Jakobho akavabvunza akati, “Anofara here?” Ivo vakati, “Hongu, anofara uye hoyo mwanasikana wake Rakeri ari kuuya namakwai.”
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.
Iye akati, “Tarirai, achiri masikati haisati yava nguva yokuti makwai aunganidzwe. Nwisai makwai mugoadzosera kumafuro.”
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.
Vakapindura vakati, “Hatigoni kudaro kusvikira mapoka ose aunganidzwa uye ibwe rakungurutswa kubva pamuromo wetsime. Ipapo ndipo patinozonwisa makwai.”
9 While he talked with them, Rahel also came with her fathers sheepe, for she kept them.
Paakanga achiri kutaura navo, Rakeri akasvika namakwai ababa vake, nokuti akanga ari mufudzikadzi.
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.
Jakobho akati achiona Rakeri mwanasikana waRabhani, hanzvadzi yamai vake, uye namakwai aRabhani, akaendapo akandokungurutsa ibwe kubva pamuromo wetsime ndokubva anwisa makwai asekuru vake.
11 And Iaakob kissed Rahel, and lift vp his voyce and wept.
Ipapo Jakobho akatsvoda Rakeri akachema zvikuru.
12 (For Iaakob tolde Rahel, that he was her fathers brother, and that he was Rebekahs sonne) then she ranne and tolde her father.
Uye akaudza Rakeri kuti iye akanga ari hama yababa vake uye ari mwanakomana waRabheka. Saka Rakeri akamhanya akandoudza baba vake.
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.
Rabhani akati angoudzwa mashoko pamusoro paJakobho, mwanakomana wehanzvadzi yake, akakurumidza kundosangana naye. Akamumbundikira, akamutsvoda akamuuyisa kumba kwake, uye ipapo Jakobho akamuudza zvose izvi.
14 To whome Laban sayd, Well, thou art my bone and my flesh. and he abode with him the space of a moneth.
Ipapo akati kwaari, “Iwe uri nyama yangu neropa rangu.” Shure kwokugara kwake naye mwedzi wose,
15 For Laban sayde vnto Iaakob, Though thou be my brother, shouldest thou therfore serue me for nought? tell me, what shalbe thy wages?
Rabhani akati kwaari, “Ungandishandira usingapuwi mubayiro nokuda kwokuti uri hama yangu here? Ndiudze kuti mubayiro wako unofanira kuva chii?”
16 Now Laban had two daughters, the elder called Leah, and the yonger called Rahel.
Zvino Rabhani akanga ana vanasikana vaviri; zita romukuru rainzi Rea uye zita romuduku rainzi Rakeri.
17 And Leah was tender eyed, but Rahel was beautifull and faire.
Rea akanga ana meso akaneta, asi Rakeri akanga ane chimiro chinoyevedza uye akanaka kwazvo.
18 And Iaakob loued Rahel, and sayde, I will serue thee seuen yeeres for Rahel thy yonger daughter.
Jakobho aida Rakeri uye akati, “Ndichakushandirai kwamakore manomwe mugondipa Rakeri mwanasikana wenyu muduku.”
19 Then Laban answered, It is better that I giue her thee, then that I should giue her to another man: abide with me.
Rabhani akati, “Zviri nani kuti ndimupe kwauri pano kumupa kuno mumwewo murume. Chigara hako pano neni.”
20 And Iaakob serued seuen yeres for Rahel, and they seemed vnto him but a few dayes, because he loued her.
Saka Jakobho akashanda kwamakore manomwe kuti awane Rakeri, asi akaita samazuva mashoma chete kwaari nokuda kworudo rwake kwaari.
21 Then Iaakob sayde to Laban, Giue me my wife, that I may goe in to her: for my terme is ended.
Ipapo Jakobho akati kuna Rabhani, “Ndipei mukadzi wangu. Nguva yangu yakwana uye ndinoda kuvata naye.”
22 Wherefore Laban gathered together all the men of the place, and made a feast.
Saka Rabhani akaunganidza pamwe chete vanhu vose venzvimbo iyo akaita mutambo.
23 But whe the euening was come, he tooke Leah his daughter and brought her to him, and he went in vnto her.
Asi akati ava madekwana, akatora mwanasikana wake Rea akamupa kuna Jakobho, Jakobho akavata naye.
24 And Laban gaue his mayde Zilpah to his daughter Leah, to be her seruant.
Uye Rabhani akapa Ziripa murandakadzi wake kumwanasikana wake kuti ave mushandi wake.
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?
Kwakati kwaedza mangwanani wanei ndiRea! Saka Jakobho akati kuna Rabhani, “Chiiko ichi chamaita kwandiri? Ndakashandira Rakeri, hazvisirizvo here? Seiko mandinyengera?”
26 And Laban answered, It is not the maner of this place, to giue the yonger before the elder.
Rabhani akapindura akati, “Haisi tsika yedu kuno kuti mwanasikana muduku atange kuwanikwa mukuru achigere kuwanikwa.
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.
Pedzisa vhiki youmwenga yomwanasikana uyu; ipapo tichazokupawo muduku shure kwokushandira mamwe makore manomwe.”
28 Then Iaakob did so, and fulfilled her seuen yeeres, so he gaue him Rahel his daughter to be his wife.
Uye Jakobho akaita saizvozvo. Akapedza vhiki naRea, uye ipapo Rabhani akamupa mwanasikana wake Rakeri kuti ave mukadzi wake.
29 Laban also gaue to Rahel his daughter Bilhah his mayde to be her seruant.
Rabhani akapa murandakadzi wake Bhiriha kuna Rakeri kuti ave mushandi wake.
30 So entred he in to Rahel also, and loued also Rahel more then Leah, and serued him yet seuen yeeres more.
Jakobho akavatawo naRakeri uye aida Rakeri kupfuura Rea. Uye akashandira Rabhani kwamamwe makore manomwe.
31 When the Lord saw that Leah was despised, he made her fruitful: but Rahel was barren.
Jehovha akati aona kuti Rea akanga asingadikanwi, akazarura chizvaro chake, asi Rakeri akanga asingabereki.
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.
Rea akava nemimba akabereka mwanakomana. Akamutumidza zita rokuti Rubheni, nokuti akati, “Jehovha akaona kutambudzika kwangu. Zvirokwazvo murume wangu achandida zvino.”
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.
Akabatazve pamwe pamuviri, uye akati abereka mwanakomana, akati, “Nokuti Jehovha akanzwa kuti handidikanwi, akandipa uyuzve.” Saka akamutumidza kuti Simeoni.
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.
Akabatazve pamwe pamuviri uye akati abereka mwanakomana, akati, “Zvino pakupedzisira murume wangu achabatanidzwa neni, nokuti, ndamuberekera vanakomana vatatu.” Saka akamutumidza zita rokuti Revhi.
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.
Akabatazve pamwe pamuviri uye paakabereka mwanakomana, akati, “Nguva ino ndicharumbidza Jehovha.” Saka akamutumidza zita rokuti Judha. Ipapo akaguma kubereka vana.
