< Genesis 29 >

1 And Jacob lifts up his feet, and goes toward the land of the sons of the east;
Niongake am-pandia amy zao t’Ia­kòbe nimb’ an-tane’ o anan-tatiñanañeo.
2 and he looks, and behold, a well in the field, and behold, there [are] three droves of a flock crouching by it, for they water the droves from that well, and the great stone [is] on the mouth of the well.
Tinalake’e te heheke ty vovoñe an-kivoke ey aman’ añondry telo troke mandre marine aze, amy te fampinomañe o mpirai-liao i vovoñey; le vato jabajaba ty nikapeke i vovoñey.
3 (When all the droves have been gathered there, and they have rolled the stone from off the mouth of the well, and have watered the flock, then they have turned back the stone on the mouth of the well to its place.)
Ie hene vory o mpirai-liao le adariso’ o mpiarakeo i vato fikape’ i vovoñeiy, vaho ampinomeñe o añondrio; heneke izay vaho ampolie’ iareo am-bava’ i vovoñey i vatoy.
4 And Jacob says to them, “My brothers, where [are] you from?” And they say, “We [are] from Haran.”
Hoe t’Iakòbe am’iereo, O rahalahikoo, boak’ aia nahareo? Hoe iereo, Hirik’e Kharane añe.
5 And he says to them, “Have you known Laban, son of Nahor?” And they say, “We have known.”
Hoe re tam’ iereo, Fohi’ areo hao t’i Labàne ana’ i Nakore? Hoe iereo, Eka apota’ay.
6 And he says to them, “Does he have peace?” And they say, “Peace; and behold, his daughter Rachel is coming with the flock.”
Hoe re tam’iereo, Jangam-bao? Janga, hoe iereo, le ingo t’i Rahkele, anak’ ampela’e minday o añondrio.
7 And he says, “Behold, the day [is] still great, [it is] not time for the livestock to be gathered; water the flock, and go, delight yourselves.”
Hoe re, Hehe, mbe tsingilingilieñe ty àndro, tsy fanontoñañe añondry hey henaneo. Ampinomo o añondrio vaho akia andrazo.
8 And they say, “We are not able, until all the droves be gathered together, and they have rolled away the stone from the mouth of the well, and we have watered the flock.”
Fa hoe ka iereo, Tsy mete zahay naho tsy fa vory iaby o mpirai-liao naho avarimbari’ iareo boak’ am-bava’ o vovoñeo o vatoo; izay vaho ampinome’ay o añondrio.
9 He is yet speaking with them, and Rachel has come with the flock which her father has, for she [is] shepherdess;
Ie mbe nifanaontsy, pok’ eo t’i Rahkele ninday o añondrin-drae’eo, amy t’ie mpiarake.
10 and it comes to pass, when Jacob has seen Rachel, daughter of his mother’s brother Laban, and the flock of his mother’s brother Laban, that Jacob comes near and rolls the stone from off the mouth of the well, and waters the flock of his mother’s brother Laban.
Ie nahaoniñe i Rahkele, ana’ i Labàne renelahi’e, naho o añondri’ i Labàne rene­lahi’eo t’Iakòbe le niharinea’e naho navari’e boak’ am-bava’ i vovoñey i vatoy vaho nampinome’e i lia-rai’ i Labàne renelahi’eoy.
11 And Jacob kisses Rachel, and lifts up his voice, and weeps,
Le norofa’ Ia­kòbe t’i Rahkele vaho nipoña-peo an-drovetse,
12 and Jacob declares to Rachel that he [is] her father’s brother, and that he [is] Rebekah’s son, and she runs and declares [it] to her father.
naho nitoñone’ Iakòbe amy Rahkele t’ie longon-drae’e naho ana’ i Ribkae; le nilay re hitalily aman-drae’e.
13 And it comes to pass, when Laban hears the report of his sister’s son Jacob, that he runs to meet him, and embraces him, and kisses him, and brings him into his house; and he recounts to Laban all these things,
Ie jinanji’ i Labàne ty talili’ Iakòbe ana-drahavave’e, le nihitrihitry hifañaoñe ama’e; finorokoko’e naho norofa’e vaho nendese’e mb’ añ’ an­jom­ba’e ao vaho hene natalili’e amy Labàne i nife­tsake rezay,
14 and Laban says to him, “You [are] surely my bone and my flesh”; and he dwells with him a month of days.
le hoe t’i Labàne ama’e, Toe taolako naho nofoko irehe! Aa le niam­be­sara’e volañe raike.
15 And Laban says to Jacob, “Is it because you [are] my brother that you have served me for nothing? Declare to me what your hire [is].”
Le hoe t’i Labàne am’ Iakòbe, Aa ndra t’ie longoko, hifanehake ho ahy tsy aman-tambe hao? Volaño arè, ino ty ho tambe’o.
16 And Laban has two daughters, the name of the older [is] Leah, and the name of the younger Rachel,
Ie amy zao, roe ty anak’ ampela’ i Labàne; Leae ty añara’ ty zoke’e naho i Rahkele ty añaran-jai’e.
17 and the eyes of Leah [are] tender, and Rachel has been beautiful of form and beautiful of appearance.
Naleme ty maso’ i Leae, le nimontramontra naho soa vintañe t’i Rahkele.
18 And Jacob loves Rachel and says, “I serve you seven years for Rachel your younger daughter”:
Nikokoa’ Iakòbe t’i Rahkele, le hoe re, Ho toroñeko fito taon-drehe ho a i Rahkele, anak’ ampela’o zai’e.
19 and Laban says, “It is better for me to give her to you than to give her to another man; dwell with me”;
Hoe t’i Labàne, Hamake hato­loko azo ta te hatoloko amy ze ondaty ila’e; mimoneña amako.
20 and Jacob serves for Rachel seven years; and they are in his eyes as some days, because of his loving her.
Aa le nito­roñe fito taoñe t’Iakòbe haha­zoa’e i Rahkele, le nihoe andro tsy ampe-ampe am-pihaino’eo ty amy fikokoa’e azey.
21 And Jacob says to Laban, “Give up my wife, for my days have been fulfilled, and I go in to her”;
Le hoe t’Iakòbe amy Labàne, Ato­loro ahy i valikoy hiharoako fa heneke o androkoo.
22 and Laban gathers all the men of the place, and makes a banquet.
Aa le natonto’ i Labàne ze hene ondati’ i tanañey vaho nañalankañe takataka.
23 And it comes to pass in the evening, that he takes his daughter Leah, and brings her to him, and he goes in to her;
Ie hariva i àndroy le nasese’ i Labàne am’Iakòbe t’i Leae vaho niolore’e.
24 and Laban gives his maidservant Zilpah to her, to his daughter Leah, [for] a maidservant.
Le natolo’ i Labàne amy Leae ty mpitoro-ampela’e Zilpae ho mpiatrak’ aze.
25 And it comes to pass in the morning, that behold, it [is] Leah; and he says to Laban, “What [is] this you have done to me? Have I not served with you for Rachel? And why have you deceived me?”
Aa ie nanjirike ty hamaray, hehe te i Leae! le hoe t’Iakòbe amy Labàne: Ino o nanoe’o amakoo? Tsy i Rahkele hao ty nitoroñako azo? Akore arè ty namitaha’o ahy?
26 And Laban says, “It is not done so in our place, to give the younger before the firstborn;
Hoe t’i Labàne, Tsy sata an-tane atoy ty anolorañe ty zai’e aolo’ ty tañoloñoloñan-ampela’e.
27 fulfill the period of seven [for] this one, and we also give to you this one, for the service which you serve with me yet seven other years.”
Foniro i hafitoa’ey, le hatolo’ay azo ka i raikey, ho ami’ty fito taoñe tovo’e hitoroña’o ahy.
28 And Jacob does so, and fulfills the period of seven [for] this one, and he gives his daughter Rachel to him for a wife for him;
Aa le nanoe’ Iakòbe. Nihenefe’e i hereñandroy, vaho natolo’e aze ty anak’ampela’e Rahkele ho vali’e.
29 and Laban gives his maidservant Bilhah to his daughter Rachel for a maidservant for her.
Natolo’ i Labàne amy Rahkele ana’e t’i Bilhae mpiatra’ey ho mpiatrak’ aze.
30 And he also goes in to Rachel, and he also loves Rachel more than Leah; and he serves with him yet seven other years.
Niolotse amy Rahkele ka t’Iakòbe le ie ty nikokoa’e te amy Leae, vaho nitoroñe i Labàne fito taoñe indraike.
31 And YHWH sees that Leah [is] the hated one, and He opens her womb, and Rachel [is] barren;
Ie nivazoho’ Iehovà te tsy nikokoañe t’i Leae, le sinoka’e ty trañon’ ana’e, fe betsiterake t’i Rahkele.
32 and Leah conceives, and bears a son, and calls his name Reuben, for she said, “Because YHWH has looked on my affliction; because now does my husband love me.”
Niareñe t’i Leae vaho nahatoly ana-dahy. Natao’e Reòbene ty añara’e fa hoe ty asa’e, amy te nivazoho’ Iehovà ty haferenaiñako. Aa le hikoko ahy ty valiko henanekeo.
33 And she conceives again, and bears a son, and says, “Because YHWH has heard that I [am] the hated one, He also gives to me even this [one]”; and she calls his name Simeon.
Niareñe indraike re nisamak’ ana-dahy, vaho hoe re, Jinanji’ Iehovà t’ie firihia’e le nomei’e itoañe ka, le natao’e Simòne ty añara’e.
34 And she conceives again and bears a son, and says, “Now [is] the time, my husband is joined to me, because I have born to him three sons,” therefore has [one] called his name Levi.
Mbe niareñe indraike re, nahatoly ana-dahy, le hoe ty asa’e, Sandrake henane zao te hipiteham-baliko, izaho nisamake telo ho aze. Aa le natao’e Levy ty añara’e.
35 And she conceives again and bears a son, and this time says, “I praise YHWH”; therefore has she called his name Judah; and she ceases from bearing.
Mbe niareñe indraike re, le nisamak’ ana-dahy vaho nanao ty hoe, Handrenge Iehovà Iraho henane zao. Le natao’e Iehodà ty ­añara’e vaho nitampets’ anake.
