< Genesis 29 >

1 And he lifted up Jacob feet his and he went [the] land of towards [the] people of [the] east.
Pea toe ʻalu ʻa Sēkope ʻi hono fononga, pea naʻe haʻu ia ki he fonua ʻoe kakai hahake.
2 And he saw and there! a well [was] in the field and there! there three flocks of sheep [were] lying down at it for from the well that people watered the flocks and the stone [was] large over [the] mouth of the well.
Pea sio ia, pea ne ʻilo ʻae vai ʻi he ngoue, pea vakai, naʻe ai ʻae vāhenga fanga sipi ʻe tolu, naʻe tokoto ʻo ofi ki ai, he naʻe fakainu ʻae fanga manu mei he vai ko ia: pea naʻe tāpuni ʻaki ʻae ngutu vai ʻae fuʻu maka lahi.
3 And they were gathered there towards all the flocks and they rolled the stone from over [the] mouth of the well and they watered the sheep and they put back the stone over [the] mouth of the well to place its.
Pea naʻe fakataha ki ai ʻae ngaahi vāhenga sipi kotoa pē: pea nau filifilihi ʻae maka mei he ngutu vai, pea fakainu ʻae fanga sipi, pea naʻe toe ai ʻae maka ki hono potu, ki he ngutu vai.
4 And he said to them Jacob O brothers my from where? [are] you and they said [are] from Haran we.
Pea pehē ʻe Sēkope kiate kinautolu, “Kāinga, ʻoku mei fē ʻakinautolu?” Pea nau pehē, “Ko e kau Halani ʻakimautolu.”
5 And he said to them ¿ do you know Laban [the] son of Nahor and they said we know [him].
Pea pehē ʻe ia kiate kinautolu, “ʻOku mou ʻilo ʻa Lepani, ko e foha ʻo Nehoa?” Pea naʻa nau pehē, “ʻOku mau ʻilo ia.”
6 And he said to them ¿ [does] health [belong] to him and they said health and there! Rachel daughter his [is] coming with the sheep.
Pea pehēange ʻe ia kiate kinautolu, “ʻOku moʻui ia?” Pea nau pehēange, “ʻOku mālōlō pe: pea vakai, ko Lesieli ko hono ʻofefine, ʻoku haʻu mo e fanga sipi.”
7 And he said here! still the day [is] great not [the] time of [the] being gathered of the livestock water the sheep and go pasture [them].
Pea pehē ʻe ia, “Vakai, ʻoku kei hoʻatā pe, pea ʻoku teʻeki ai hokosia ʻae feituʻulaʻā ke fakataha ai ʻae fanga manu: ko ia mou fakainu ʻae fanga sipi, pea ʻalu ʻo fafanga.”
8 And they said not we are able until that they will be gathered all the flocks and people will roll the stone from over [the] mouth of the well and we will water the sheep.
Pea naʻa nau pehē, “ʻOku ʻikai te mau faʻa fai, kaeʻoua ke fakataha mai ʻae vāhenga sipi kotoa pē, pea ʻoua ke filifilihi ʻae maka mei he ngutu vai; pea te mau toki fakainu ʻae fanga sipi.”
9 Still [was] he speaking with them and Rachel - she came with the sheep which [belonged] to father her for [was] a shepherdess she.
Pea lolotonga ʻenau alea mo e haʻu ʻa Lesieli mo e fanga sipi ʻa ʻene tamai, he naʻa ne tauhi ki ai.
10 And it was just as he saw Jacob Rachel [the] daughter of Laban [the] brother of mother his and [the] sheep of Laban [the] brother of mother his and he drew near Jacob and he rolled the stone from over [the] mouth of the well and he watered [the] sheep of Laban [the] brother of mother his.
Pea ʻi he mamata ʻa Sēkope kia Lesieli ko e ʻofefine ʻo Lepani, ko e tuongaʻane ʻo ʻene faʻē, mo e fanga sipi ʻa Lepani, ko e tuongaʻane ʻo ʻene faʻē, naʻe ʻunuʻunu atu ʻa Sēkope ʻo ne tekaʻi ʻae maka mei he ngutu vai, pea ne fakainu ʻae fanga sipi ʻa Lepani, ko e tuongaʻane ʻo ʻene faʻē.
11 And he kissed Jacob Rachel and he lifted up voice his and he wept.
Pea uma ʻa Sēkope kia Lesieli, pea hiki hake hono leʻo, pea tangi.
12 And he told Jacob to Rachel that [was] [the] relative of father her he and that [was] [the] son of Rebekah he and she ran and she told to father her.
Pea talaange ʻe Sēkope kia Lesieli, “Ko e kāinga ia ʻo ʻene tamai, pea ko e tama ia ʻa Lepeka:” pea naʻe lele ia ʻo fakahā ki heʻene tamai.
13 And it was when heard Laban [the] report of - Jacob [the] son of sister his and he ran to meet him and he embraced him and he kissed him and he brought him to house his and he recounted to Laban all the things these.
Pea kuo fanongo ʻa Lepani ki he talanoa kia Sēkope, “Ko e tama ʻa hono tuofefine,” pea naʻe lele ia ke fakafetaulaki kiate ia, pea ne fāʻufua ia, ʻo ʻuma kiate ia, mo ne ʻomi ia ki hono fale. Pea talanoa ʻe ia kia Lepani, ʻae ngaahi meʻa ni kotoa pē.
14 And he said to him Laban surely [are] bone my and flesh my you and he remained with him a month of days.
Pea pehē ʻe Lepani kiate ia, Ko e moʻoni ko hoku hui koe, mo hoku kakano. Pea naʻa ne nofo kiate ia ʻi he māhina ʻe taha.
15 And he said Laban to Jacob ¿ for relative my [are] you and you will serve me for nothing tell! to me what? [is] wage[s] your.
Pea pehē ʻe Lepani kia Sēkope, “He ʻoku totonu koā ke ke ngāue kiate au taʻehatotongi koeʻuhi ko hoku kāinga koe? Tala mai, ko e hā ʻae totongi ʻe fai kiate koe?”
16 And [belonged] to Laban two daughters [the] name of the old [one] [was] Leah and [the] name of the young [one] [was] Rachel.
Pea naʻe toko ua ʻae ʻofefine ʻo Lepani; ko e hingoa ʻoe ʻuluaki ko Lia, pea ko e hingoa ʻoe kimui ko Lesieli.
17 And [the] eyes of Leah [were] weak and Rachel she was beautiful of form and beautiful of appearance.
Naʻe mata kuikui ʻa Lia, ka naʻe hoihoifua ʻa Lesieli, mo matamatalelei.
18 And he loved Jacob Rachel and he said I will serve you seven years for Rachel daughter your young.
Pea naʻe ʻofa ʻa Sēkope kia Lesieli, pea ne pehē, “Te u tauhi ko e ʻi he taʻu ʻe fitu, ka ke tuku mai ʻa Lesieli, ko ho ʻofefine kimui.”
19 And he said Laban ([is] good *LB(ah)*) to give I her to you more than to give I her to a man another remain! with me.
Pea pehē ʻe Lepani, “ʻOku lelei lahi ʻeku foaki ia kiate koe, ʻi heʻeku foaki ia ki ha tangata kehe: ke ta nonofo mo au.”
20 And he served Jacob for Rachel seven years and they were in view his like days one in love his her.
Pea naʻe ngāue ʻa Sēkope ʻi he taʻu ʻe fitu, ke ne maʻu ʻa Lesieli; pea naʻe tatau ia kiate ia mo e ʻaho siʻi pe, koeʻuhi ko ʻene ʻofa lahi kiate ia.
21 And he said Jacob to Laban give! wife my for they have been completed days my so I may go into her.
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Sēkope kia Lepani, “Tuku mai hoku uaifi koeʻuhi ke u ʻalu atu kiate ia, he kuo kakato ʻa hoku ngaahi ʻaho.”
22 And he gathered Laban all [the] people of the place and he prepared a feast.
Pea fakataha ʻe Lepani ʻae kau tangata kotoa pē ʻoe potu, pea ne fai ʻae kātoanga.
23 And it was in the evening and he took Leah daughter his and he brought her to him and he went into her.
Pea ʻi heʻene hoko ki he pō, naʻa ne ʻave hono ʻofefine ko Lia, ʻo ne ʻomi ia kiate ia; pea ʻalu ia kiate ia.
24 And he had given Laban to her Zilpah maidservant his to Leah daughter his a maidservant.
Pea ne foaki ki hono ʻofefine ko Lia, ʻa ʻene kaunanga ko Silipa, ke kaunanga [kiate ia].
25 And it was in the morning and there! she [was] Leah and he said to Laban what? this have you done to me ¿ not for Rachel have I served with you and why? have you deceived me.
Pea pongipongi hake ai, pea vakai, pea tā ko Lia ia: pea pehē ʻe ia kia Lepani, “Ko e hā eni kuo ke fai kiate au? ʻIkai naʻaku ngāue kiate koe koeʻuhi ko Lesieli? Pea ko e hā kuo ke kākaaʻi ai au?”
26 And he said Laban not it is done thus in place our to give the young before the firstborn.
Pea pehē ʻe Lepani, “E ʻikai fai ha meʻa pehē ʻi homau fonua, ke tomuʻa foaki ʻae kimui ʻi he ʻuluaki.
27 Complete [the] week of this [one] so let us give to you also this [one] for [the] service which you will serve with me again seven years another.
Ka ke fakakakato ʻa hono uike, pea te mau foaki ia foki kiate koe, ʻoka ke ka toe ngāue kiate au, ʻi ha taʻu ʻe fitu kehe.”
28 And he did Jacob thus and he completed [the] week of this [one] and he gave to him Rachel daughter his of him to a wife.
Pea naʻe fai ia ʻe Sēkope; ʻo ne fakakakato hono uike: pea ne foaki kiate ia hono ʻofefine ko Lesieli, ko hono uaifi foki.
29 And he had given Laban to Rachel daughter his Bilhah maidservant his to her to [be] a maidservant.
Pea foaki ʻe Lepani ki hono ʻofefine ko Lesieli ʻa Pila, ko ʻene kaunanga, ke kaunanga kiate ia.
30 And he went also into Rachel and he loved also Rachel more than Leah and he served with him again seven years another.
Pea naʻe ʻalu ʻa Sēkope kia Lesieli, pea ʻofa lahi hake ʻe ia kia Lesieli ia Lia, pea naʻa ne toe ngāue kiate ia ʻi he taʻu ʻe fitu.
31 And he saw Yahweh that [was] hated Leah and he opened womb her and Rachel [was] barren.
Pea ʻafioʻi ʻe Sihova kuo fehiʻanekina ʻa Lia, pea naʻa ne ngaohi ia ke faʻa fānau; ka naʻe paʻa ʻa Lesieli.
32 And she conceived Leah and she bore a son and she called name his Reuben for she said that he has looked Yahweh on affliction my for now he will love me husband my.
Pea feitama ʻa Lia, pea ne fāʻeleʻi ʻae tama, pea ui hono hingoa ko Lupeni; he naʻe pehē ʻe ia, “Ko e moʻoni kuo ʻafioʻi ʻe Sihova ʻeku mamahi; pea ko eni ʻe ʻofa hoku husepāniti kiate au.”
33 And she conceived again and she bore a son and she said that he has heard Yahweh that [am] hated I and he has given to me also this [one] and she called name his Simeon.
Pea naʻe toe feitama ia pea fāʻeleʻi ʻae tama: ʻo ne pehē, “He kuo fanongo ʻa Sihova kuo fehiʻanekina au, ko ia kuo ne foaki kiate au ʻae tama ni foki: pea ne ui hono hingoa ko Simione.”
34 And she conceived again and she bore a son and she said now this time he will join himself husband my to me for I have borne to him three sons there-fore he called name his Levi.
Pea toe feitama ia, pea fāʻeleʻi ʻae tama: pea pehē ʻe ia; “Ko eni ʻe tokanga hoku husepāniti kiate au ʻi he kuonga ni, koeʻuhi kuo u fanauʻi kiate ia ʻae tama ʻe toko tolu; ko ia naʻe ui ai hono hingoa ko Livai.”
35 And she conceived again and she bore a son and she said this time I will praise Yahweh there-fore she called name his Judah and she stopped from bearing children.
Pea toe feitama ia, pea fāʻeleʻi ʻae tama: pea pehē ʻe ia, Ko eni te u fakafetaʻi kia Sihova: ko ia naʻa ne ui hono hingoa ko Siuta: pea naʻe ngata ai ʻene fānau.
