Genesis 29
1 Then Jacob lifted up his feet and went unto the land of the children of the east.
Yaaqoobis karaa isaa itti fufee gara warra biyya baʼaa dhufe.
2 And he looked, and behold there was a well in the field, and, lo, there were three flocks of sheep lying by it; for out of that well they watered the flocks: and the stone upon the mouth of the well was great.
Innis ilaalee kunoo boolla bishaanii tokko dirree irratti arge; kunoo karri hoolotaa sadii sababii achii bishaan dhuganiif boolla bishaanii sana bira ciciisaa turan. Dhagaan afaan boolla bishaanii sanaa irra ture guddaa ture.
3 And there all the flocks were wont to assemble; and they rolled then the stone from the mouth of the well, and watered the sheep; and they put the stone again upon the mouth of the well in its place.
Yeroo karri hoolotaa hundi achitti walitti qabamanitti tiksoonni afaan boolla bishaanii irraa dhagaa gangalchanii hoolota bishaan obaasu turan. Ergasii immoo dhagaa sana iddoo isaatti deebisanii afaan boolla bishaanii irra kaaʼu turan.
4 And Jacob said unto them, My brethren, whence are ye? And they said, Of Charan are we.
Yaaqoobis tiksoota sanaan, “Yaa obboloota ko, isin warra eessaati?” jedhee gaafate. Isaanis, “Nu warra Kaaraaniiti” jedhanii deebisan.
5 And he said unto them, Know ye Laban the son of Nachor? And they said, We know him.
Innis, “Laabaa ilma Naahoor beektuu?” jedheen. Jarris, “Eeyyee, beekna” jedhanii deebisan.
6 And he said unto them, Is he well? And they said, He is well; and, behold, Rachel his daughter cometh with the sheep.
Yaaqoob immoo, “Inni fayyumaa?” jedhee isaan gaafate. Isaanis, “Eeyyee, fayyuma; kunoo intalli isaa Raahel iyyuu hoolota fiddee dhufaa jirti” jedhaniin.
7 And he said, Lo, the day is yet long, it is not time that the cattle should be driven home; water ye the sheep, and go and feed them.
Innis, “Kunoo, amma lafti guyyaa dha; yeroo itti hoolonni walitti qabaman miti. Hoolota bishaan obaasaatii dhaqaa dheechisaa” jedheen.
8 And they said, We cannot, until all the flocks be gathered together, then do they roll the stone from the mouth of the well; and we water the sheep.
Isaanis, “Nu hamma karri hoolotaa hundinuu walitti qabamanii dhagaan sun afaan boolla bishaanii irraa gangalfamutti hin dandeenyu; ergasii hoolota bishaan obaafna” jedhanii deebisan.
9 And while he was yet speaking with them, Rachel came with her father's sheep; for she was a shepherdess.
Utuma inni jara wajjin haasaʼaa jiruu, Raahel waan tiksee turteef hoolota abbaa ishee ooftee dhufte.
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 went near, and rolled the stone from the mouth of the well, and watered the flock of Laban his mother's brother.
Yaaqoob yommuu Raahel, intala obboleessa haadha isaa intala Laabaatii fi hoolota Laabaa argetti dhaqee dhagaa afaan boolla bishaanii irraa gangalchee hoolota eessuma isaa bishaan obaase.
11 And Jacob kissed Rachel, and lifted up his voice, and wept.
Yaaqoobis Raaheliin dhungate; sagalee ol fudhatees booʼe.
12 And Jacob told Rachel that he was her father's brother, and that he was Rebekah's son: and she ran and told her father.
Inni fira abbaa ishee akka taʼee fi ilma Ribqaa akka taʼe Raahelitti hime; isheenis fiigaa dhaqxee abbaa isheetti himte.
13 And it came to pass, when Laban heard the tidings of Jacob his sister's son, that he ran to meet him, and embraced him, and kissed him, and brought him to his house. And he told Laban all these things.
Laabaan akkuma waaʼee ilma obboleettii isaa waaʼee Yaaqoob dhagaʼeen isa simachuuf ariifatee baʼe. Innis erga hammatee dhungatee booddee mana isaatti fudhatee gale; Yaaqoobis waan kana hunda Laabaatti hime.
14 And Laban said to him, Surely thou art my bone and my flesh. And he abode with him the space of a month.
Laabaan immoo, “Ati dhugumaan foon kootii fi dhiiga koo ti” jedheen. Yaaqoob erga jiʼa tokko guutuu Laabaa wajjin turee booddee,
15 And Laban then said unto Jacob, Because thou art my brother, shouldst thou therefore serve me for naught? tell me, what shall thy wages be?
Laabaan akkana isaan jedhe; “Ati sababii fira koo taateef tola naa hojjechuu qabdaa? Mindaan kee akka hammam taʼuu qabu natti himi.”
16 And Laban had two daughters; the name of the elder was Leah, and the name of the younger was Rachel.
Laabaan intallan lama qaba ture; maqaan ishee hangafaa Liyaa ture; maqaan ishee quxisuu immoo Raahel jedhama ture.
17 And the eyes of Leah were tender; but Rachel was of handsome form and handsome appearance.
Iji Liyaa dadhabaa ture; Raahel garuu bareedduu fi simboo qabeettii turte.
18 And Jacob loved Rachel; and he said, I will serve thee seven years for Rachel thy younger daughter.
Yaaqoob Raahelin jaallatee, “Ani waaʼee intala kee ishee quxisuu, Raaheliif jedhee waggaa torba sin tajaajila” jedheen.
19 And Laban said, It is better that I give her to thee, than that I should give her to another man; abide with me.
Laabaan immoo, “Nama biraaf ishee kennuu irra siif kennuu naa wayya; asuma na bira turi” jedhe.
20 And Jacob served for Rachel seven years; and they seemed unto him but a few days, through the love he had to her.
Kanaafuu Yaaqoob Raahelin argachuuf jedhee waggaa torba tajaajile. Inni waan ishee jaallateef waggoonni kunneen guyyoota muraasa isatti fakkaatan.
21 And Jacob said unto Laban, Give me my wife, for my days are fulfilled, that I may go in unto her.
Yaaqoobis Laabaadhaan, “Waan yeroon koo xumurameef akka ani ishee bira gaʼuuf niitii koo naa kenni” jedhe.
22 And Laban gathered together all the men of the place, and made a feast.
Kanaafuu Laabaan namoota iddoo sana jiran hunda walitti qabee cidha qopheesse.
23 And it came to pass in the evening, that he took Leah his daughter, and brought her to him; and he went in unto her.
Garuu yeroo lafti galgalaaʼetti intala isaa Liyaa fidee Yaaqoobiif kenne; Yaaqoobis ishee bira gaʼe.
24 And Laban gave unto his daughter Leah, Zilpah his maid for a handmaid.
Laabaanis akka isheen hojjettuu ishee taatuuf garbittii isaa Zilfaa, intala isaa Liyaadhaaf kenne.
25 And it came to pass that in the morning, behold, it was Leah: and he said to Laban, What is this thou hast done unto me? did I not serve with thee for Rachel? wherefore then hast thou deceived me?
Yommuu lafti bariʼetti kunoo Liyaa taʼuun ishee beekame! Yaaqoobis Laabaadhaan, “Wanni ati na goote kun maali? Ani Raaheliif jedhee si hin tajaajillee? Yoos ati maaliif na gowwoomsite ree?” jedhe.
26 And Laban said, It is not done so in our place, to give in marriage the younger before the first-born.
Laabaanis akkana jedhee deebise; “Biyya keenya keessatti intala hangafa dura intala quxisuu heerumsiisuun duudhaa keenya miti.
27 Fulfill the week of this, and we will give thee this one also, for the service which thou shalt serve with me yet seven other years.
Torban misirrummaa intala kanaa raawwadhu; ergasii yoo ati waggaa biraa torba naaf hojjette quxisuu ishees siif kennina.”
28 And Jacob did so, and fulfilled the week of the first; and he gave him Rachel his daughter for a wife.
Yaaqoobis akkasuma godhe. Torban sanas Liyaa wajjin dabarse; ergasiis Laabaan intala isaa Raahelin isatti heerumsiise.
29 And Laban gave to Rachel his daughter Bilhah his hand-maid to be her maid.
Laabaan akka isheen hojjettuu ishee taatuuf xomboree isaa Bilihaa, intala isaa Raaheliif kenne.
30 And he went in also unto Rachel, and he loved also Rachel more than Leah; and he served with him yet seven other years.
Yaaqoobis Raahel bira gaʼe; innis Liyaa caalaatti Raahelin jaallate. Waggoota biraa torbas Laabaaf hojjete.
31 And when the Lord saw that Leah was hated, he opened her womb; but Rachel was barren.
Waaqayyo yommuu akka Liyaan hin jaallatamin argetti gadameessa ishee baneef; Raahel garuu dhabduu turte.
32 And Leah conceived, and bore a son, and she called his name Reuben; for she said, Surely, the Lord hath looked upon my affliction, because now my husband will love me.
Liyaan ulfooftee ilma deesse. Isheenis waan, “Waaqayyo dhiphina koo argeeraatii dhugumaan siʼachi dhirsi koo na jaallata” jetteef maqaa isaa Ruubeen jettee moggaafte.
33 And she conceived again and bore a son; and she said, Because the Lord heard that I was hated, he hath given me this one also; and she called his name Simeon.
Isheen ammas yommuu ulfooftee ilma deessetti, “Waaqayyo sababii akka ani hin jaallatamin dhagaʼeef ilma kanas naa kenne” jettee maqaa isaa Simiʼoon jettee moggaafte.
34 And she conceived again, and bore a son; and she said, Now this time will my husband be joined unto me, because I have born him three sons; therefore was his name called Levi.
Ammas ulfooftee ilma deesse; isheenis, “Sababii ani ilmaan sadii isaaf daʼeef amma dhirsi koo natti maxxana” jette; kanaafuu mucaan sun Lewwii jedhamee moggaafame.
35 And she conceived again, and bore a son; and she said, This time will I praise the Lord; therefore she called his name Judah: and she left off bearing.
Ammas isheen ulfooftee ilma deesse; isheenis, “Amma Waaqayyo nan galateeffadha” jette. Kanaafuu maqaa isaa Yihuudaa jettee moggaafte. Ergasiis daʼuu ni dhiifte.
