< Genesis 30 >

1 And when Rachel saw that she bore Jacob no children, Rachel envied her sister; and she said unto Jacob: 'Give me children, or else I die.'
Kane Rael oneno nine ok nywolne Jakobo nyithindo, nyiego nomake gi nyamin mare. Kuom mano nowacho ne Jakobo niya, “Miya nyithindo, nono to abiro tho!”
2 And Jacob's anger was kindled against Rachel; and he said: 'Am I in God's stead, who hath withheld from thee the fruit of the womb?'
Jakobo nokecho gi Rael kendo nowachone niya, “Iparo ni an e Nyasaye mosetami nywolo nyithindo?”
3 And she said: 'Behold my maid Bilhah, go in unto her; that she may bear upon my knees, and I also may be builded up through her.'
Eka Rael nowacho ne Jakobo niya, “Eri amiyi Bilha ma jatichna ma nyako. Kawe ibed kode e achiel mondo mi onywolna nyithindo mondo omi kokadho kuome an bende abed gi joga.”
4 And she gave him Bilhah her handmaid to wife; and Jacob went in unto her.
Omiyo nomiye Bilha jatichne obedo chiege. Jakobo nobedo kode achiel,
5 And Bilhah conceived, and bore Jacob a son.
mi Bilha nomako ich kendo nonywolone Jakobo wuowi.
6 And Rachel said: 'God hath judged me, and hath also heard my voice, and hath given me a son.' Therefore called she his name Dan.
Eka Rael nowacho niya, “Nyasaye osengʼadona bura; osewinjo kwayona mi omiya nyathi ma wuowi.” Omiyo nochake ni Dan.
7 And Bilhah Rachel's handmaid conceived again, and bore Jacob a second son.
Bilha ma jatich Rael nochako omako ich kendo nonywolo ne Jakobo wuowi mar ariyo.
8 And Rachel said: 'With mighty wrestlings have I wrestled with my sister, and have prevailed.' And she called his name Naphtali.
Eka Rael nowacho niya, “Asebedo gi chandruok maduongʼ gi nyamera, kendo koro aseloyo.” Omiyo nochako nyathini ni Naftali.
9 When Leah saw that she had left off bearing, she took Zilpah her handmaid, and gave her to Jacob to wife.
Kane Lea ofwenyo ni ok onyal nywolo nyithindo kendo nokawo Zilpa jatichne ma nyako, nomiye Jakobo mondo okawe kaka chiege.
10 And Zilpah Leah's handmaid bore Jacob a son.
Zilpa ma jatich Lea nonywolo ne Jakobo wuowi.
11 And Leah said: 'Fortune is come!' And she called his name Gad.
Eka Lea nowacho niya, “An jahawi.” Omiyo nochako nyathino ni Gad.
12 And Zilpah Leah's handmaid bore Jacob a second son.
Zilpa jatich Lea nonywolo ne Jakobo wuowi mar ariyo.
13 And Leah said: 'Happy am I! for the daughters will call me happy.' And she called his name Asher.
Eka Lea nowacho niya, “Amor manade! Mon biro luonga ni jahawi.” Omiyo nochake ni Asher.
14 And Reuben went in the days of wheat harvest, and found mandrakes in the field, and brought them unto his mother Leah. Then Rachel said to Leah: 'Give me, I pray thee, of thy son's mandrakes.'
E ndalo kayo ngano, Reuben nodhi e puothe kendo noyudo olembe mag mandrake, mi nokelo ne Lea min mare. Rael nowacho ne Lea niya, “Kiyie to miya olemb mandrake ma wuodi Reuben okelonino.”
15 And she said unto her: 'Is it a small matter that thou hast taken away my husband? and wouldest thou take away my son's mandrakes also?' And Rachel said: 'Therefore he shall lie with thee to-night for thy son's mandrakes.'
To nowachone niya, “Iparo ni kawo chwora en gima tin koso? Kendo pod idwaroe mandrake mag wuoda bende?” Rael nodwoke niya, “Mano ber, to kimiya mandrake mar wuodi to Jakobo wangʼ nonindo e odi kawuono otieno.”
16 And Jacob came from the field in the evening, and Leah went out to meet him, and said: 'Thou must come in unto me; for I have surely hired thee with my son's mandrakes.' And he lay with her that night.
Kane Jakobo odwogo koa e puodho godhiambono, Lea nodhi moromone. Lea nowachone niya, “Nyaka ibed koda e achiel kawuono, nikech asechulo nengo mar nindoni e oda gi mandrake mar wuoda.” Kuom mano Jakobo nobedoe achiel gi Lea otienono.
17 And God hearkened unto Leah, and she conceived, and bore Jacob a fifth son.
Nyasaye nowinjo Lea kendo Lea nomako ich mi onywolone Jakobo wuowi mar abich.
18 And Leah said: 'God hath given me my hire, because I gave my handmaid to my husband. And she called his name Issachar.
Eka Lea nowacho niya, “Nyasaye osemiya pokna nikech nachiwo jatichna ma nyako ne chwora, omiyo nochake ni Isakar.”
19 And Leah conceived again, and bore a sixth son to Jacob.
Lea nochako omako ich kendo nonywolone Jakobo wuowi mar auchiel.
20 And Leah said: 'God hath endowed me with a good dowry; now will my husband dwell with me, because I have borne him six sons.' And she called his name Zebulun.
Eka Lea nowacho niya, “Nyasaye osedhiala gi mich ma nyangafu. Koro chwora biro gena nikech asenywolone yawuowi auchiel.” Omiyo nachake ni Zebulun.
21 And afterwards she bore a daughter, and called her name Dinah.
Bangʼ kinde moko nonywolo nyako kendo nochake ni Dina.
22 And God remembered Rachel, and God hearkened to her, and opened her womb.
Eka Nyasaye noparo Rael, mi odwoko kwayone kendo ogwedhe gi nyathi.
23 And she conceived, and bore a son, and said: 'God hath taken away my reproach.'
Rael nomako ich kendo nonywolo wuowi kendo nowacho niya, “Nyasaye osegolona wichkuot.”
24 And she called his name Joseph, saying: 'The LORD add to me another son.'
Nochako wuodeno ni Josef kendo owacho niya, “Mad Jehova Nyasaye meda wuowi machielo.”
25 And it came to pass, when Rachel had borne Joseph, that Jacob said unto Laban: 'Send me away, that I may go unto mine own place, and to my country.
Bangʼ ka Rael nosenywolo Josef, Jakobo nowacho ne Laban, “We adhi mondo adogi thurwa.
26 Give me my wives and my children for whom I have served thee, and let me go; for thou knowest my service wherewith I have served thee.'
Miya monda kod nyithinda ma asebedo ka atiyonigo kendo weya adhi. Ingʼeyo tichna ma asetiyonigo.”
27 And Laban said unto him: 'If now I have found favour in thine eyes — I have observed the signs, and the LORD hath blessed me for thy sake.'
To Laban nowachone niya, “Kapo ni ayudo ngʼwono e wangʼi to yie imed dak koda ka. Asefwenyo ma lingʼ-lingʼ ni Jehova Nyasaye osegwedha nikech in.”
28 And he said: 'Appoint me thy wages, and I will give it.'
Laban nomedo wachone niya, “Nyisa pok monego amiyi kendo abiro chuligi.”
29 And he said unto him: 'Thou knowest how I have served thee, and how thy cattle have fared with me.
Jakobo nowachone niya, “Ingʼeyo kaka asetiyoni kendo kaka aserito jambi.
30 For it was little which thou hadst before I came, and it hath increased abundantly; and the LORD hath blessed thee whithersoever I turned. And now when shall I provide for mine own house also?'
Jamni matin mane in-go kapok abiro osemedore ahinya, kendo Jehova Nyasaye osegwedhi e gik moko duto ma asetimo. To koro anatine oda awuon karangʼo?”
31 And he said: 'What shall I give thee?' And Jacob said: 'Thou shalt not give me aught; if thou wilt do this thing for me, I will again feed thy flock and keep it.
Laban nopenje, “Angʼo ma damiyi.” Jakobo nodwoke niya, “Kik imiya gimoro amora. To ka ihero to timna gimoro achiel, abiro dhi nyime gi kwayo kendo rito jambi.
32 I will pass through all thy flock to-day, removing from thence every speckled and spotted one, and every dark one among the sheep, and the spotted and speckled among the goats; and of such shall be my hire.
Kawuono abiro wuotho ei jambi duto kendo abiro walo diek gi rombe ma kitgi rabok kod mago ma angʼech gi mago maratengʼ. Magi ema nobed chudo maga.
33 So shall my righteousness witness against me hereafter, when thou shalt come to look over my hire that is before thee: every one that is not speckled and spotted among the goats, and dark among the sheep, that if found with me shall be counted stolen.'
Timna makare nobed janeno e ndalo mabiro kendo, e sa asaya ma ibiro rango pok ma isechula. Diel moro amora ma ok angʼech kata dibo kata nyarombo ma ok ratengʼ manoyud e kindgi nokwan ka gima okwal.”
34 And Laban said: 'Behold, would it might be according to thy word.'
Laban nodwoke niya, “Ayie, obed kaka iwachono.”
35 And he removed that day the he-goats that were streaked and spotted, and all the she-goats that were speckled and spotted, every one that had white in it, and all the dark ones among the sheep, and gave them into the hand of his sons.
Odiechiengʼno Laban nowalo nywogi duto ma kitgi rabok kod mago ma angʼech, gi diek mamon (ma dikiyo) kod nyirombe marotenge mine oketogi e lwet yawuote mondo oritgi.
36 And he set three days' journey betwixt himself and Jacob. And Jacob fed the rest of Laban's flocks.
Eka Laban noketo thuolo e kinde gi Jakobo madirom wuodh ndalo adek Jakobo to ne odongʼ kakwayo romb Laban mane odongʼ.
37 And Jacob took him rods of fresh poplar, and of the almond and of the plane-tree; and peeled white streaks in them, making the white appear which was in the rods.
Kata kamano, Jakobo nokawo kete moko mag omburi, gi oyungu kod yiende makorgi poth mi nopoko kuonde moko e korgi mondo igi marachar onen.
38 And he set the rods which he had peeled over against the flocks in the gutters in the watering-troughs where the flocks came to drink; and they conceived when they came to drink.
Eka noketo ketego ei karaya kama ne jamnigo modhoe, mondo omi ka jamnigo modho to gineno ketego ei pi. E kindego ema thuondi ne luwogie,
39 And the flocks conceived at the sight of the rods, and the flocks brought forth streaked, speckled, and spotted.
e nyim ketego. Kendo neginywolo nyithindo ma kitgi rabok kod mago ma angʼech gi mago maratengʼ.
40 And Jacob separated the lambs — he also set the faces of the flocks toward the streaked and all the dark in the flock of Laban — and put his own droves apart, and put them not unto Laban's flock.
Jakobo nopogo imbe mi oweyo mana mago ma kitgi rabok kod mago ma angʼech gi mago maratengʼ mondo oluw romb Laban. Mano e yo mane omedogo kwan jambe owuon bende ne ok oriwogi gi mek Laban.
41 And it came to pass, whensoever the stronger of the flock did conceive, that Jacob laid the rods before the eyes of the flock in the gutters, that they might conceive among the rods;
Sa asaya mane iluwo chiayo madhako, Jakobo ne keto ketego ei karaya mane gimodhoe mondo omi imbe oluwgi kanyo mi gimak ich,
42 but when the flock were feeble, he put them not in; so the feebler were Laban's, and the stronger Jacob's.
to jamni mayom yom ne ok oket ochungʼ e nyim ketego. Omiyo jamni mayom yom ne gin mag Laban to mago motegno ne gin mag Jakobo.
43 And the man increased exceedingly, and had large flocks, and maid-servants and men-servants, and camels and asses.
Ma nomiyo mwandu Jakobo omedore piyo ahinya kendo nobedogi kweth mag jamni mangʼeny gi jotich mamon, machwo, kod ngamia gi punde.
