Genesis 29
1 And Jacob started and went to the land of the east to Laban, the son of Bathuel the Syrian, and the brother of Rebecca, mother of Jacob and Esau.
Ipapo Jakobho akapfuurira mberi norwendo rwake akasvika kunyika yavanhu vokumabvazuva.
2 And he looks, and behold! a well in the plain; and there were there three flocks of sheep resting at it, for out of that well they watered the flocks, but there was a great stone at the mouth of the well.
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 there were all the flocks gathered, and they used to roll away the stone from the mouth of the well, and water the flocks, and set the stone again in its place on the mouth of the well.
Mapoka ose aiti aungana ipapo, vafudzi vaikungurutsa ibwe kubva pamuromo wetsime vachinwisa makwai avo. Ipapo vaizodzorera ibwe panzvimbo yaro, ipo pamuromo wetsime.
4 And Jacob said to them, Brethren, whence are you? and they said, We are of Charrhan.
Jakobho akabvunza vafudzi akati, “Mabvepiko, hama dzangu?” Ivo vakapindura vakati, “Tabva kuHarani.”
5 And he said to them, Know you Laban, the son of Nachor? and they said, We do know [him].
Iye akati kwavari, “Munoziva Rabhani, muzukuru waNahori here?” Vakapindura vakati, “Hongu, tinomuziva.”
6 And he said to them, Is he well? And they said, He is well. And behold Rachel his daughter came with the sheep.
Ipapo Jakobho akavabvunza akati, “Anofara here?” Ivo vakati, “Hongu, anofara uye hoyo mwanasikana wake Rakeri ari kuuya namakwai.”
7 And Jacob said, it is yet high day, it is not yet time that the flocks be gathered together; water you the flocks, and depart and feed them.
Iye akati, “Tarirai, achiri masikati haisati yava nguva yokuti makwai aunganidzwe. Nwisai makwai mugoadzosera kumafuro.”
8 And they said, We shall not be able, until all the shepherds be gathered together, and they shall roll away the stone from the mouth of the well, then we will water the flocks.
Vakapindura vakati, “Hatigoni kudaro kusvikira mapoka ose aunganidzwa uye ibwe rakungurutswa kubva pamuromo wetsime. Ipapo ndipo patinozonwisa makwai.”
9 While he was yet speaking to them, behold, Rachel the daughter of Laban came with her father's sheep, for she fed the sheep of her father.
Paakanga achiri kutaura navo, Rakeri akasvika namakwai ababa vake, nokuti akanga ari mufudzikadzi.
10 And it came to pass when Jacob saw Rachel the daughter of Laban, his mother's brother, and the sheep of Laban, his mother's brother, that Jacob came and rolled away the stone from the mouth of the well, and watered the sheep of Laban, his mother's 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 Jacob kissed Rachel, and cried with a loud voice and wept.
Ipapo Jakobho akatsvoda Rakeri akachema zvikuru.
12 And he told Rachel that he was the near relative of her father, and the son of Rebecca; and she ran and reported to her father according to these words.
Uye akaudza Rakeri kuti iye akanga ari hama yababa vake uye ari mwanakomana waRabheka. Saka Rakeri akamhanya akandoudza baba vake.
13 And it came to pass when Laban heard the name of Jacob, his sister's son, he ran to meet him, and embraced and kissed him, and brought him into his house; and he told Laban all these sayings.
Rabhani akati angoudzwa mashoko pamusoro paJakobho, mwanakomana wehanzvadzi yake, akakurumidza kundosangana naye. Akamumbundikira, akamutsvoda akamuuyisa kumba kwake, uye ipapo Jakobho akamuudza zvose izvi.
14 And Laban said to him, You are of my bones and of my flesh; and he was with him a full month.
Ipapo akati kwaari, “Iwe uri nyama yangu neropa rangu.” Shure kwokugara kwake naye mwedzi wose,
15 And Laban said to Jacob, Surely you shall not serve me for nothing, because you are my brother; tell me what your reward is to be.
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 name of the elder was Lea, and the name of the younger, Rachel.
Zvino Rabhani akanga ana vanasikana vaviri; zita romukuru rainzi Rea uye zita romuduku rainzi Rakeri.
17 And the eyes of Lea were weak. But Rachel was beautiful in appearance, and exceedingly fair in countenance.
Rea akanga ana meso akaneta, asi Rakeri akanga ane chimiro chinoyevedza uye akanaka kwazvo.
18 And Jacob loved Rachel, and said, I will serve you seven years for your younger daughter Rachel.
Jakobho aida Rakeri uye akati, “Ndichakushandirai kwamakore manomwe mugondipa Rakeri mwanasikana wenyu muduku.”
19 And Laban said to him, [It is] better that I should give her to you, than that I should give her to another man; dwell with me.
Rabhani akati, “Zviri nani kuti ndimupe kwauri pano kumupa kuno mumwewo murume. Chigara hako pano neni.”
20 And Jacob served for Rachel seven years, and they were before him as a few days, by reason of his loving her.
Saka Jakobho akashanda kwamakore manomwe kuti awane Rakeri, asi akaita samazuva mashoma chete kwaari nokuda kworudo rwake kwaari.
21 And Jacob said to Laban, Give me my wife, for my days are fulfilled, that I may go in to her.
Ipapo Jakobho akati kuna Rabhani, “Ndipei mukadzi wangu. Nguva yangu yakwana uye ndinoda kuvata naye.”
22 And Laban gathered together all the men of the place, and made a marriage-feast.
Saka Rabhani akaunganidza pamwe chete vanhu vose venzvimbo iyo akaita mutambo.
23 And it was even, and he took his daughter Lea, and brought her in to Jacob, and Jacob went in to her.
Asi akati ava madekwana, akatora mwanasikana wake Rea akamupa kuna Jakobho, Jakobho akavata naye.
24 And Laban gave to his daughter Lea, Zelpha his handmaid, as a handmaid for her.
Uye Rabhani akapa Ziripa murandakadzi wake kumwanasikana wake kuti ave mushandi wake.
25 And it was morning, and behold it was Lea; and Jacob said to Laban, What is this that you have done to me? did I not serve you for Rachel? and therefore have you deceived 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 done thus in our country, to give the younger before the elder.
Rabhani akapindura akati, “Haisi tsika yedu kuno kuti mwanasikana muduku atange kuwanikwa mukuru achigere kuwanikwa.
27 Fulfil then her sevens, and I will give to you her also in return for your labor, which you labor with me, yet seven other years.
Pedzisa vhiki youmwenga yomwanasikana uyu; ipapo tichazokupawo muduku shure kwokushandira mamwe makore manomwe.”
28 And Jacob did so, and fulfilled her sevens; and Laban gave him his daughter Rachel to wife.
Uye Jakobho akaita saizvozvo. Akapedza vhiki naRea, uye ipapo Rabhani akamupa mwanasikana wake Rakeri kuti ave mukadzi wake.
29 And Laban gave to his daughter his handmaid Balla, for a handmaid to her.
Rabhani akapa murandakadzi wake Bhiriha kuna Rakeri kuti ave mushandi wake.
30 And he went in to Rachel; and he loved Rachel more than Lea; and he served him seven other years.
Jakobho akavatawo naRakeri uye aida Rakeri kupfuura Rea. Uye akashandira Rabhani kwamamwe makore manomwe.
31 And when the Lord God saw that Lea was hated, he opened her womb; but Rachel was barren.
Jehovha akati aona kuti Rea akanga asingadikanwi, akazarura chizvaro chake, asi Rakeri akanga asingabereki.
32 And Lea conceived and bore a son to Jacob; and she called his name, Ruben; saying, Because the Lord has looked on my humiliation, and has given me a son, now then my husband will love me.
Rea akava nemimba akabereka mwanakomana. Akamutumidza zita rokuti Rubheni, nokuti akati, “Jehovha akaona kutambudzika kwangu. Zvirokwazvo murume wangu achandida zvino.”
33 And she conceived again, and bore a second son to Jacob; and she said, Because the Lord has heard that I am hated, he has given to me this one 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 conceived yet again, and bore a son, and said, In the present time my husband will be with me, for I have born him three sons; therefore she called his name, Levi.
Akabatazve pamwe pamuviri uye akati abereka mwanakomana, akati, “Zvino pakupedzisira murume wangu achabatanidzwa neni, nokuti, ndamuberekera vanakomana vatatu.” Saka akamutumidza zita rokuti Revhi.
35 And having conceived yet again, she bore a son, and said, Now yet again this time will I give thanks to the Lord; therefore she called his name, Juda; and ceased bearing.
Akabatazve pamwe pamuviri uye paakabereka mwanakomana, akati, “Nguva ino ndicharumbidza Jehovha.” Saka akamutumidza zita rokuti Judha. Ipapo akaguma kubereka vana.
