< 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.'
Ary rehefa hitan-dRahely fa tsy mba niteraka tamin’ i Jakoba izy, dia nialona ny rahavaviny izy, ka hoy izy tamin’ i Jakoba: Mba omeo zaza aho, fa raha tsy izany, dia ho faty aho.
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?'
Dia nirehitra tamin-dRahely ny fahatezeran’ i Jakoba, ka hoy izy: Solon’ Andriamanitra, Izay nahamomba anao tsy hiteraka, va aho?
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.'
Ary hoy izy: Indro Bila ankizivaviko, vadio izy; dia hiteraka eo am-pofoako izy, mba hahazoako zaza aminy.
4 And she gave him Bilhah her handmaid to wife; and Jacob went in unto her.
Dia nomeny azy Bila ankizivaviny ho vadiny; ary dia novadin’ i Jakoba koa izy.
5 And Bilhah conceived, and bore Jacob a son.
Dia nanan’ anaka Bila ka niteraka zazalahy tamin’ i Jakoba.
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.
Ary hoy Rahely: Andriamanitra efa nanome ahy ny rariny sady efa nihaino ny feoko, ka nomeny zazalahy aho; izany no nanaovany ny anarany hoe Dana.
7 And Bilhah Rachel's handmaid conceived again, and bore Jacob a second son.
Dia nanan’ anaka indray Bila, ankizivavin-Rahely, ka niteraka zazalahy faharoany tamin’ i Jakoba.
8 And Rachel said: 'With mighty wrestlings have I wrestled with my sister, and have prevailed.' And she called his name Naphtali.
Ary hoy Rahely: Fitolomana mafy dia mafy no nitolomako tamin’ ny rahavaviko, ka nahery aho; dia nataony hoe Naftaly ny anarany.
9 When Leah saw that she had left off bearing, she took Zilpah her handmaid, and gave her to Jacob to wife.
Ary rehefa hitan’ i Lea fa efa nitsaha-jaza izy, dia naka an’ i Zilpa ankizivaviny izy, ka nomeny ho vadin’ i Jakoba koa.
10 And Zilpah Leah's handmaid bore Jacob a son.
Ary Zilpa, ankizivavin’ i Lea, dia niteraka zazalahy tamin’ i Jakoba.
11 And Leah said: 'Fortune is come!' And she called his name Gad.
Ary hoy Lea: Manan-jara re aho! dia nataony hoe Gada ny anarany.
12 And Zilpah Leah's handmaid bore Jacob a second son.
Ary Zilpa, ankizivavin’ i Lea, dia niteraka zazalahy faharoany tamin’ i Jakoba.
13 And Leah said: 'Happy am I! for the daughters will call me happy.' And she called his name Asher.
Ary hoy Lea: Sambatra aho, fa hataon’ ny zanakavavin’ ny olona hoe sambatra aho; dia nataony hoe Asera ny anarany.
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.'
Ary nivoaka nitsangantsangana Robena tamin’ ny andro fijinjam-bary ka nahita dodaima naniry tany an-tsaha, dia nitondra azy ho any amin’ i Lea reniny. Ary hoy Rahely tamin’ i Lea: Veloma ianao, mba anomezo ahy kely ny dodaiman’ ny zanakao.
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.'
Ary hoy izy taminy: Moa zavatra kely va ny nakanao ny vadiko? Dia halainao koa va ny dodaiman’ ny zanako? Ary hoy Rahely: Aoka handry aminao ihany ary izy anio alina noho ny dodaiman’ ny zanakao.
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.
Ary nony hariva, rehefa tonga avy tany an-tsaha Jakoba, dia nivoaka nitsena azy Lea ka nanao hoe: Ho ato amiko no halehanao; fa ny dodaiman’ ny zanako no efa nakaramako anao tokoa. Dia nandry taminy izy tamin’ iny alina iny.
17 And God hearkened unto Leah, and she conceived, and bore Jacob a fifth son.
Ary Andriamanitra nihaino an’ i Lea, dia nanan’ anaka izy ka niteraka zazalahy fahadiminy tamin’ i Jakoba.
18 And Leah said: 'God hath given me my hire, because I gave my handmaid to my husband. And she called his name Issachar.
Ary hoy Lea: Efa nomen’ Andriamanitra ny karamako, satria nomeko hovadin’ ny vadiko ny ankizivaviko; dia nataony hoe Isakara ny anarany.
19 And Leah conceived again, and bore a sixth son to Jacob.
Dia nanan’ anaka indray Lea ka niteraka zazalahy faheniny tamin’ i Jakoba.
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.
Ary hoy Lea: Efa nanome anjara soa ho ahy Andriamanitra; amin’ izao vao hitoetra amiko ny vadiko, fa efa niteraka zaza enin-dahy ho azy aho; dia nataony hoe Zebolona ny anarany.
21 And afterwards she bore a daughter, and called her name Dinah.
Ary rehefa afaka izany, dia niteraka zazavavy izy, ka nataony hoe Dina ny anarany.
22 And God remembered Rachel, and God hearkened to her, and opened her womb.
Ary Andriamanitra nahatsiaro an-dRahely, dia nihaino azy ka nampanan’ anaka azy.
23 And she conceived, and bore a son, and said: 'God hath taken away my reproach.'
Ary nanan’ anaka izy ka niteraka zazalahy; dia hoy izy: Efa nahafa-tondromaso ahy Andriamanitra.
24 And she called his name Joseph, saying: 'The LORD add to me another son.'
Dia nataony hoe Josefa ny anarany, ka hoy izy: Jehovah anie mbola hanampy zazalahy iray ho ahy koa.
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.
Ary rehefa niteraka an’ i Josefa Rahely, dia hoy Jakoba tamin’ i Labana: Alefaso aho hankany amin’ ny fonenako sy ny taniko.
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.'
Omeo ahy ny vadiko aman-janako, izay nanompoako anao, dia handeha aho; fa fantatrao ny fanompoana izay nanompoako anao.
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.'
Ary hoy Labana taminy: Masìna ianao, raha nahita fitia eo imasonao aho, mitoera eto amiko, efa namantatra aho, ka fantatro fa avy taminao no nitahian’ i Jehovah ahy.
28 And he said: 'Appoint me thy wages, and I will give it.'
Ary hoy koa izy: Tonony izay ho karamanao, dia homeko anao.
29 And he said unto him: 'Thou knowest how I have served thee, and how thy cattle have fared with me.
Ary hoy Jakoba taminy; Fantatrao ny nanompoako anao sy ny toetry ny omby aman’ ondrinao tato amiko.
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?'
Fa kely ny fanananao, fony tsy mbola tonga aho, fa efa nitombo be dia be izy; ary efa nitahy anao Jehovah tamin’ ny diako rehetra; ary ankehitriny, rahoviana kosa aho no mba hihary ho an’ ny ao an-tranoko?
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.
Ary hoy izy: Inona ary no homeko anao? Ary hoy Jakoba: Tsy hanome ahy na inona na inona ianao; raha hataonao amiko izao zavatra izao, dia mbola handrasako sy hotandremako ihany ny ondry aman’ osinao:
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.
Handeha hitety ny ondry aman’ osinao rehetra aho anio ka hanavaka ny mara sy ny sada rehetra, ary ny mainty rehetra eo amin’ ny ondry ary ny sada sy ny mara eo amin’ ny osy; koa ireny no ho karamako.
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.'
Ny fahamarinako no ho vavolombeloko amin’ ny andro ho avy, raha tonga ianao handinika ny karamako: izay rehetra tsy mara ary tsy sada eo amin’ ny osy, ary izay tsy mainty eo amin’ ny ondry, dia ho halatro izany.
34 And Laban said: 'Behold, would it might be according to thy word.'
Ary hoy Labana: Eny, aoka ho araka ny teninao ary.
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.
Dia navahany tamin’ izany andro izany ny osilahy sadika sy sada, ary izay osivavy rehetra mara sy sada, dia izay rehetra nisy fotsy, ary ny mainty rehetra teo amin’ ny ondry; dia natolony teo an-tanan’ ny zananilahy ireny.
36 And he set three days' journey betwixt himself and Jacob. And Jacob fed the rest of Laban's flocks.
Ary nasiany lalan-kateloana teo anelanelan’ izy sy Jakoba; ary Jakoba niandry ny ondry aman’ osin’ i Labana sisa.
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.
Ary Jakoba dia naka tsorakazo maro tamin’ ny hazo popola maitso sy tamin’ ny hazo lozy sy tamin’ ny hazo platana; ka nataony ofy vandana ireny hisehoan’ ny fotsy izay teo amin’ ny tsorakazo.
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.
Ary ireny tsorakazo voaofiny ireny dia napetrany teo anoloan’ ny ondry aman’ osy, teo anatin’ ny tavin-drano, dia teo amin’ ny fisotroan-drano, izay nalehan’ ny ondry aman’ osy hisotro, ka nikambana teo ny lahy sy ny vavy, raha avy hisotro rano izy.
39 And the flocks conceived at the sight of the rods, and the flocks brought forth streaked, speckled, and spotted.
Dia nikambana tandrifin’ ny tsorakazo ny ondry aman’ osy ka niteraka sadika sy mara ary sada.
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.
Ary ny zanak’ ondry navahan’ i Jakoba, ary ny ondry sisa dia nataony manatrika ny sadika sy ny mainty rehetra teo amin’ ny ondry aman’ osin’ i Labana; ary natokany izay ondry aman’ osy ho azy ka tsy navelany hiharo tamin’ ny ondry aman’ osin’ i Labana.
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;
Ary na oviana na oviana no hikambanan’ ny ondry aman’ osy matanjaka, dia napetrak’ i Jakoba teo anatin’ ny tavin-drano teo anoloan’ ny mason’ ny ondry aman’ osy ireny tsorakazo ireny, mba hikambanany eo anilan’ ny tsorakazo.
42 but when the flock were feeble, he put them not in; so the feebler were Laban's, and the stronger Jacob's.
Fa raha osaosa kosa ny ondry aman’ osy, dia tsy mba napetrany teo ireny; ka dia ny osaosa no an’ i Labana, fa ny matanjaka kosa no an’ i Jakoba.
43 And the man increased exceedingly, and had large flocks, and maid-servants and men-servants, and camels and asses.
Dia nitombo harena indrindra ralehilahy ka nanana ondry aman’ osy betsaka ary andevovavy sy andevolahy ary rameva sy boriky.
