< Genesis 30 >

1 And when Rahel saw that she bare Iaakob no children, Rahel enuied her sister, and said vnto Iaakob, Giue me children, or els I dye.
Laakeeri bwe yalaba nga tazaalidde Yakobo baana, n’akwatirwa muganda we obuggya; n’agamba Yakobo nti, “Mpa abaana oba si ekyo nzija kufa!”
2 Then Iaakobs anger was kindled against Rahel, and he sayde, Am I in Gods steade, which hath withholden from thee the fruite of the wombe?
Obusungu bwa Yakobo ne bubuubuukira Laakeeri, n’amugamba nti, “Nze Katonda akummye okuzaala?”
3 And she said, Behold my maide Bilhah, goe in to her, and she shall beare vpon my knees, and I shall haue children also by her.
Laakeeri kwe kumwanukula nti, “Omuweereza wange Biira wuuno, weetabe naye azaalire ku maviivi gange, ndyoke nfune abaana nga mpita mu ye.”
4 Then shee gaue him Bilhah her mayde to wife, and Iaakob went in to her.
N’alyoka amuwa omuweereza we Biira okuba mukazi we, Yakobo ne yeetaba naye.
5 So Bilhah conceiued and bare Iaakob a sonne.
Biira n’aba olubuto n’azaalira Yakobo omwana owoobulenzi.
6 Then said Rahel, God hath giuen sentence on my side, and hath also heard my voyce, and hath giuen mee a sonne: therefore called shee his name, Dan.
Awo Laakeeri n’agamba nti, “Katonda ankoze bulungi, n’awulira eddoboozi lyange, n’ampa omwana owoobulenzi.” Kyeyava amutuuma Ddaani.
7 And Bilhah Rahels maide coceiued againe, and bare Iaakob the second sonne.
Biira omuweereza omukazi owa Laakeeri n’aba olubuto ate, n’azaalira Yakobo omwana owoobulenzi owookubiri.
8 Then Rahel said, with excellent wrestlings haue I wrestled with my sister, and haue gotten the vpper hande: and shee called his name, Naphtali.
Laakeeri n’alyoka agamba nti, “Nnwanye ne muganda wange okulwana okw’amaanyi era mpangudde;” omwana kyeyava amutuuma Nafutaali.
9 And when Leah saw that she had left bearing, shee tooke Zilpah her mayde, and gaue her Iaakob to wife.
Awo Leeya bwe yalaba akomye okuzaala, n’addira omuweereza we Zirupa n’amuwa Yakobo abe mukazi we.
10 And Zilpah Leahs mayde bare Iaakob a sonne.
Zirupa omuweereza wa Leeya n’alyoka azaalira Yakobo omwana owoobulenzi;
11 Then sayd Leah, A companie commeth: and she called his name, Gad.
Leeya n’agamba nti, “Guno mukisa gwennyini!” Kwe kumutuuma Gaadi.
12 Againe Zilpah Leahs mayde bare Iaakob another sonne.
Ate Zirupa omuweereza wa Leeya n’azaalira Yakobo omwana owoobulenzi owookubiri.
13 Then sayde Leah, Ah, blessed am I, for the daughters will blesse me. and she called his name, Asher.
Leeya n’agamba nti, “Neesiimye! Kubanga abakazi banampita wa mukisa;” kyeyava amutuuma Aseri.
14 Nowe Reuben went in the dayes of the wheateharuest, and founde mandrakes in the fielde and brought them vnto his mother Leah. Then sayde Rahel to Leah, Giue me, I pray thee, of thy sonnes mandrakes.
Lumu mu biseera eby’amakungula g’eŋŋaano Lewubeeni n’agenda mu nnimiro, n’anoga amadudayimu, n’agaleetera nnyina Leeya. Laakeeri n’agamba Leeya nti, “Nkusaba ompe ku madudayimu g’omwana wo.”
15 But shee answered her, Is it a small matter for thee to take mine husband, except thou take my sonnes mandrakes also? Then sayde Rahel, Therefore he shall sleepe with thee this night for thy sonnes mandrakes.
Kyokka ye n’amuddamu nti, “Okiyita kitono ggwe okunnyagako baze? Ate otwale n’amadudayimu g’omwana wange?” Laakeeri n’amugamba nti, “Kale anaaba naawe ekiro kino olw’amadudayimu g’omwana wo.”
16 And Iaakob came from the fielde in the euening, and Leah went out to meete him, and sayde, Come in to mee, for I haue bought and payed for thee with my sonnes mandrakes: and he slept with her that night.
Yakobo bwe yakomawo okuva mu nnimiro akawungeezi, Leeya n’afuluma okumusisinkana, n’amugamba nti, “Weetabe nange, kubanga nkuguze n’amadudayimu g’omwana wange.” Kwe kwetaba naye.
17 And God heard Leah and shee conceiued, and bare vnto Iaakob the fift sonne.
Katonda n’awulira Leeya, n’aba olubuto, n’azaalira Yakobo omwana owoobulenzi owookutaano.
18 Then said Leah, God hath giuen me my reward, because I gaue my mayde to my husband, and she called his name Issachar.
Leeya n’agamba nti, “Katonda ansasudde empeera yange, kubanga nawa baze, omuweereza wange,” omwana kyeyava amutuuma Isakaali.
19 After, Leah conceiued againe, and bare Iaakob the sixt sonne.
Leeya n’aba olubuto ate, n’azaalira Yakobo Omwana owoobulenzi ow’omukaaga.
20 Then Leah said, God hath endued me with a good dowrie: nowe will mine husband dwell with me, because I haue borne him sixe sonnes: and she called his name Zebulun.
Leeya kwe kugamba nti, “Katonda ampadde ekirabo, kaakano baze anaabanga nange, kubanga muzaalidde abaana aboobulenzi mukaaga.” Ow’omukaaga kyeyava amutuuma Zebbulooni.
21 After that, shee bare a daughter, and shee called her name Dinah.
Oluvannyuma n’azaala omwana owoobuwala, n’amutuuma Dina.
22 And God remembred Rahel, and God heard her, and opened her wombe.
Ate Katonda n’ajjukira Laakeeri, n’amuwulira n’aggula olubuto lwe.
23 So she conceiued and bare a sonne, and said, God hath taken away my rebuke.
N’aba olubuto n’azaalira Yakobo omwana owoobulenzi, Laakeeri n’agamba nti, “Katonda anziggyeeko okunyoomebwa;”
24 And shee called his name Ioseph, saying, The Lord wil giue me yet another sonne.
n’amutuuma Yusufu, ng’agamba nti, “Mukama annyongere omwana omulenzi.”
25 And assoone as Rahel had borne Ioseph, Iaakob said to Laban, Sende me away that I may go vnto my place and to my countrey.
Laakeeri bwe yazaala Yusufu, Yakobo n’agamba Labbaani nti, “Nsiibula, ŋŋende ewaffe mu nsi yaffe.
26 Giue me my wiues and my children, for whom I haue serued thee, and let me go: for thou knowest what seruice I haue done thee.
Mpa bakazi bange n’abaana bange, be nkuweererezza, ondeke ŋŋende: kubanga omanyi okuweereza kwe nkuweerezza.”
27 To whom Laban answered, If I haue nowe found fauour in thy sight tarie: I haue perceiued that the Lord hath blessed me for thy sake.
Labbaani kwe kumuddamu nti, “Nga bwe nfunye omukisa mu ggwe, nkusaba oleme kuva wano, kubanga ndabye nga Mukama yampa omukisa ku bubwo.
28 Also he said, Appoynt vnto me thy wages, and I will giue it thee.
Ntegeeza empeera yo nange ngikuwe.”
29 But he sayd vnto him, Thou knowest, what seruice I haue done thee, and in what taking thy cattell hath bene vnder me.
Yakobo n’amuddamu nti, “Ggwe kennyini omanyi nti nkuweerezza era n’ensolo zo nga nzaazizza.
30 For the litle, that thou haddest before I came, is increased into a multitude: and the Lord hath blessed thee by my comming: but nowe when shall I trauell for mine owne house also?
Kubanga walina ntono nga sinnajja, naye zeeyongedde nnyo; era Mukama n’akuwa omukisa buli gye n’addanga. Naye kaakano nze ndikolera ddi ennyumba yange?”
31 Then he saide, What shall I giue thee? And Iaakob answered, Thou shalt giue mee nothing at all: if thou wilt doe this thing for mee, I will returne, feede, and keepe thy sheepe.
Labbaani kwe ku mubuuza nti, “Nkuwe ki?” Yakobo n’amuddamu nti, “Tojja kubaako ky’ompa, okuggyako okunkolera kino, ndyoke nneeyongere okulunda ekisibo kyo:
32 I wil passe through all thy flockes this day, and separate from them all the sheepe with litle spots and great spots, and al blacke lambes among the sheepe, and the great spotted, and litle spotted among the goates: and it shalbe my wages.
nzikiriza mpite mu kisibo kyo leero, nziggyemu buli ndiga enkulu eza bugondo n’eza bitanga, n’endiga ento enzirugavu, n’embuzi eza bugondogondo n’ezabitanga mu mbuzi, era ezo ze zinaabeera empeera yange.
33 So shall my righteousnesse answere for me hereafter, when it shall come for my rewarde before thy face, and euery one that hath not litle or great spots among the goates, and blacke among the sheepe, the same shalbe theft with me.
Kale oluvannyuma lwa byonna obutuukirivu bwange bulimpolereza bw’olijja okukebera bw’onsasudde. Bw’olisanga embuzi yonna etali ya bugondogondo n’eya bitanga, oba endiga yonna enkazi enzirugavu eyo eribalibwa nti nnagikubbako.”
34 Then Laban sayde, Goe to, woulde God it might be according to thy saying.
Labbaani n’amuddamu nti, “Ekyo kirungi. Kale kibeere bwe kityo nga bw’ogambye.”
35 Therefore he tooke out the same day the hee goates that were partie coloured and with great spots, and all the shee goates with litle and great spots, and all that had white in them, and all the blacke among the sheepe, and put them in the keeping of his sonnes.
Naye ekiro ekyo Labbaani n’aggya mu kisibo embuzi ennume eza biwuuga n’eza bitanga, n’embuzi enkazi zonna eza bugondogondo n’eza bitanga, buli eyalina ebbala eryeru, na buli ndiga nzirugavu n’aziwa abaana be bazirunde;
36 And hee set three dayes iourney betweene himselfe and Iaakob. And Iaakob kept the rest of Labans sheepe.
nga beesudde ebbanga eritambulirwa ennaku ssatu okuva ku ye okutuuka ku Yakobo. Yakobo ye n’alunda ezo ezaasigalawo ku kisibo kya Labbaani.
37 Then Iaakob tooke rods of greene popular, and of hasell, and of the chesnut tree, and pilled white strakes in them, and made the white appeare in the rods.
Awo Yakobo n’addira obuti bw’omulibine omubisi, n’obw’omusakedi, n’obw’omwalamoni n’abususumbulako ebikuta mu bukuubo.
38 Then he put the rods, which he had pilled, in the gutters and watering troughes, when the sheepe came to drink, before the sheepe. (for they were in heate, when they came to drinke)
N’asimba obuti bw’asasambudde mu maaso g’ebisibo ku by’esero ensolo we zanyweranga.
39 And the sheepe were in heate before the rods, and afterward brought forth yong of partie colour, and with small and great spots.
Bwe zajjanga okunywa ne ziwakiranga mu maaso g’obuti obwo, ne zizaalanga eza biwuuga, n’eza bugondogondo n’eza bitanga.
40 And Iaakob parted these lambes, and turned the faces of the flocke towardes these lambes partie coloured and all maner of blacke, among the sheepe of Laban: so hee put his owne flockes by themselues, and put them not with Labans flocke.
Yakobo n’ayawula ento ne zibeera zokka. Naye endala n’azitunuza okwolekera eza biwuuga n’enzirugavu eza Labbaani. Bw’atyo ne yeekolera ebisibo eby’enjawulo, n’atagatta zize na za Labbaani.
41 And in euery ramming time of the stronger sheepe, Iaakob layde the rods before the eyes of the sheepe in the gutters, that they might conceiue before the rods.
Buli nsolo enkazi ez’amaanyi bwe zaabanga zigenda okuwaka nga Yakobo ateeka ku by’esero obuti bwe buli okwolekera ensolo ezigenda okuwaka, ziwakire okumpi nabwo.
42 But when the sheepe were feeble, hee put them not in: and so the feebler were Labans, and the stronger Iaakobs.
Naye ku nsolo ennafu teyabutekangawo. Olwo ensolo ennafu ne zibanga za Labbaani, zo ez’amaanyi ne zibanga za Yakobo.
43 So the man increased exceedingly, and had many flockes, and maide seruantes, and men seruants, and camels and asses.
Mu ngeri eyo Yakobo n’agenda ng’agaggawalira ddala nnyo, n’afuna ebisibo bingi ddala, wamu n’abaweereza abakazi n’abasajja; era n’afuna n’eŋŋamira n’embalaasi.
