Genesis 29
1 Jacob continued on the road [MTY], and he arrived at the land that was east of Canaan.
| ئینجا یاقوب پێی هەڵگرت و بەرەو خاکی گەلانی ڕۆژهەڵات ڕۆیشت. |
2 There he [was surprised to] see a well in a field, and three flocks of sheep were lying near the well. It was the well from which shepherds habitually got water for their sheep. There was a large stone covering the top of the well.
| بینی وا بیرێک لە دەشتودەرەکە هەیە و سێ ڕانە مەڕ لەوێ ڕاکشاون، چونکە شوانەکان لەو بیرەوە مەڕەکانیان ئاو دەدا. بەردێکی گەورەش لەسەر دەمی بیرەکە بوو. |
3 When all the flocks were gathered there, the shepherds would work together to roll the stone away from the top of the well and get water for the sheep. When they finished doing that, they would put the stone back in its place over the top of the well.
| کاتێک هەموو مێگەلەکان لەوێ کۆدەبوونەوە، شوانەکان بەردی سەر دەمی بیرەکەیان گلۆر دەکردەوە و مەڕەکانیان ئاو دەدا. پاشان بەردەکەیان دەگەڕاندەوە سەر دەمی بیرەکە، بۆ شوێنی خۆی. |
4 [On that day], Jacob asked the shepherds who were sitting there, “Where are you from?” They replied, “We are from Haran.”
| یاقوب بانگی کردن: «برایان، ئێوە خەڵکی کوێن؟» ئەوانیش گوتیان: «ئێمە خەڵکی حەڕانین.» |
5 He asked them, “Do you know Laban, the grandson of Nahor?” They replied, “Yes, we know him.”
| پێی گوتن: «لابانی کوڕەزای ناحۆر دەناسن؟» گوتیان: «دەیناسین.» |
6 Jacob asked them, “Is Laban well?” They replied, “Yes, he is well. Look! Here comes his daughter Rachel with the sheep!”
| ئینجا یاقوب گوتی: «خۆ سەلامەتە؟» گوتیان: «بەڵێ سەلامەتە، ئەوەش ڕاحێلی کچیەتی کە مەڕەکان بەرەو ئێرە دێنێت.» |
7 Jacob said, “Hey! The sun is still high in the sky. It is not time for the flocks to be gathered for nighttime. Give the sheep some water and then take them back to (graze/eat grass) in the pastures!”
| گوتی: «وا هێشتا ڕۆژ زۆری ماوە، کاتی کۆکردنەوەی مەڕەکان نییە. مەڕەکان ئاو بدەن و بڕۆنەوە بیانلەوەڕێنن.» |
8 They replied, “No, we cannot do that until all the flocks are gathered here and the stone is removed from the top of the well. After that, we will give water to the sheep.”
| ئەوانیش گوتیان: «ناتوانین، هەتا هەموو مەڕەکان کۆنەبنەوە و بەردی سەر دەمی بیرەکە تل نەدرێت. ئەو کاتە مەڕەکان ئاو دەدرێن.» |
9 While he was still talking with them, Rachel came with her father’s sheep. She was the one who took care of her father’s sheep.
| هێشتا خەریکی قسەکردن بوو لەگەڵیان، ڕاحێل هات و مەڕەکانی باوکیشی لەگەڵ بوو، چونکە ڕاحێل شوان بوو. |
10 When Jacob saw Rachel, the daughter of Laban, who was his mother’s brother, [Jacob was so excited that] he went over and [by himself] rolled away the stone that covered the top of the well, and he got water for his uncle’s sheep.
| کاتێک یاقوب ڕاحێلی کچی لابانی خاڵی و مەڕەکانی لابانی خاڵی بینی، چووە پێشەوە و بەردی سەر بیرەکەی تل دا و مەڕەکانی ئاو دا. |
11 Then Jacob kissed Rachel [on the cheek], and he cried loudly [because he was so happy].
| یاقوب ڕاحێلی ماچ کرد و دەنگی بەرز کردەوە و گریا. |
12 Jacob told Rachel that he was one of her father’s relatives, the son of her aunt Rebekah. So she ran and told that to her father.
| ئیتر یاقوب بە ڕاحێلی گوت کە ئەو خزمی باوکیەتی و کوڕی ڕڤقەیە. ئەویش ڕایکرد و بە باوکی ڕاگەیاند. |
13 As soon as Laban heard that Jacob, his sister’s son, was there, he ran to meet him. He embraced him and kissed him [on the cheek]. Then he brought him to his home, and Jacob told him all that had happened to him.
| هەرکە لابان ئەم هەواڵەی یاقوبی خوشکەزای بیست، بە ڕاکردن چوو بۆ دیدەنی. باوەشی پێدا کرد و ماچی کرد و هێنایە ماڵەکەی خۆی. ئینجا یاقوب باسی هەموو ئەو شتانەی بۆ لابان کرد کە ڕوویان دابوو. |
14 Then Laban said to him, “Truly, you are part of my family!” After Jacob had stayed there and worked for Laban for a month,
| لابانیش پێی گوت: «تۆ لە گۆشت و خوێنی منیت.» لەدوای ئەوەی یاقوب مانگێک لەلای مایەوە، |
15 Laban said to him “(You should not work for me for nothing just because you are a relative of mine!/Why should you work for me for nothing just because you are a relative of mine?) [RHQ] Tell me how much you want me to pay you.”
| لابان پێی گوت: «هەر لەبەر ئەوەی کەسی خۆمیت، ئایا ئیتر دەبێت بەخۆڕایی کارم بۆ بکەیت؟ پێم بڵێ دەبێت کرێیەکەت چی بێت؟» |
16 Well, Laban had two daughters. The older one was named Leah, and the younger one was named Rachel.
| لابان دوو کچی هەبوو، گەورەکەیان ناوی لێئە بوو، بچووکەکەشیان ناوی ڕاحێل بوو. |
17 Leah had pretty eyes, but Rachel had a very attractive figure and was beautiful.
| چاوەکانی لێئە کز بوون، بەڵام ڕاحێل ناسک و جوان بوو. |
18 Jacob (was in love with/wanted very much to be married to) Rachel, and he said, “I will work for you for seven years. That will be my payment for your letting me marry your younger daughter, Rachel.”
| یاقوب کە ڕاحێلی خۆشدەویست، گوتی: «حەوت ساڵ کارت بۆ دەکەم بەرامبەر ڕاحێلی کچە بچووکت.» |
19 Laban replied, “It is better for me to let you marry her than for her to marry some other man!”
| لابانیش گوتی: «بیدەمە تۆ باشترە لەوەی بیدەمە پیاوێکی دیکە. لێرە لەلای خۆم بمێنەوە.» |
20 So Jacob worked for Laban for seven years to get Rachel, but to him it seemed like it was only a few days, because he loved her so much.
| ئیتر یاقوب لەبەر ڕاحێل حەوت ساڵ کاری کرد، بەڵام لەبەر خۆشەویستییەکەی بەرامبەر بە ڕاحێل، لەلای ئەو وەک چەند ڕۆژێکی کەم وابوو. |
21 After the seven years were ended, Jacob said to Laban, “Let me marry Rachel now, because the time we agreed upon for me to work for you is ended, and I want to marry her. [EUP]”
| ئینجا یاقوب بە لابانی گوت: «ژنەکەم بدەرێ، چونکە ماوەکەم تەواو کرد، دەشمەوێت بیگوازمەوە.» |
22 So Laban gathered together all the people who lived in that area and made a feast.
| لابانیش خەڵکی شوێنەکەی کۆکردەوە و ئاهەنگێکی ساز کرد. |
23 But that evening, instead of taking Rachel to Jacob, Laban took his older daughter, Leah, to him. But because it was already dark, he could not see that it was Leah and not Rachel, and he had sex [EUP] with her.
| بەڵام کاتێک ئێوارە داهات، پەلی لێئەی کچی گرت و هێنای بۆ یاقوب. ئەویش سەرجێیی لەگەڵی کرد. |
24 (Laban had already given his slave girl Zilpah to his daughter Leah to be her maid/servant.)
| هەروەها لابان زیلپەی کەنیزەی خۆی کردە کەنیزەی لێئەی کچی. |
25 The next morning, Jacob was shocked to see that it was Leah who was with him! So he went to Laban [and told him] very angrily, “(What you have done to me is disgusting!/What is this that you have done to me?) [RHQ] I worked for you to get Rachel, did I not? So why did you deceive me?”
| کە ڕۆژ بووەوە، لێئە لەوێ بوو! یاقوبیش بە لابانی گوت: «ئەمە چییە بە منت کرد؟ مەگەر بۆ ڕاحێل نەبوو کە کارم بۆ کردیت؟ ئەی بۆچی فێڵت لێکردم؟» |
26 Laban replied, “In this land, it is not our custom to give a younger daughter to be married before we let someone marry our firstborn daughter.
| لابانیش گوتی: «ئەوە دابونەریتی ئێمە نییە کە کچە بچووکەکە پێش گەورەکە بە شوو بدەین. |
27 After we finish this week of celebration, we will let you marry the younger one also. But in return, you must pay for Rachel by working for me for another seven years.”
| هەفتەی بووکێنی ئەم تەواو بکە، ئەوی دیکەشیانت بەرامبەر بە حەوت ساڵی دیکەی کارکردن دەدەینێ.» |
28 So that is what Jacob did. After the week of celebration was ended, Laban gave him his daughter, Rachel, to be his wife.
| یاقوبیش بەم جۆرەی کرد. حەوت ڕۆژەکەی لەگەڵ لێئە تەواو کرد، لابانیش ڕاحێلی کچی پێدا هەتا ببێتە ژنی. |
29 Laban gave his slave girl, Bilhah, to Rachel to be her maid/servant.
| هەروەها لابان بیلهەی کەنیزەی خۆی کردە کەنیزەی ڕاحێلی کچی. |
30 Jacob had sex [EUP] with Rachel also, and he loved Rachel more than he loved Leah. And Jacob worked for Laban for another seven years.
| یاقوب لەگەڵ ڕاحێلیش سەرجێیی کرد، ئەو ڕاحێلی لە لێئە زیاتر خۆشدەویست. حەوت ساڵی دیکەش کاری بۆ لابان کرد. |
31 When Yahweh saw that Jacob did not love Leah [very much], he enabled her to become pregnant. But Rachel was not able to become pregnant.
| کاتێک یەزدان بینی کە لێئە خۆشەویست نییە، توانای منداڵبوونی پێ بەخشی، بەڵام ڕاحێل نەزۆک بوو. |
32 Leah gave birth to a son, whom she named Reuben, [which sounds like the Hebrew words that mean ‘Look, a son]!’ She said, “Yahweh has seen that I was miserable, and because of that he has given me a son. Now, surely my husband will love me for giving birth to a son for him.”
| لێئە سکی پڕ بوو، کوڕێکی بوو ناوی لێنا ڕەئوبێن، لەبەر ئەوەی گوتی: «یەزدان نەگبەتی منی بەدی کردووە، بێگومان ئێستا مێردەکەم منی خۆشدەوێ.» |
33 Later she became pregnant again and gave birth to another son. She said, “Because Yahweh has heard that my husband doesn’t love me, he has given me this son, too.” So she named him Simeon, [which means ‘someone who hears’].
| دیسان سکی پڕ بوو، کوڕێکی دیکەی بوو و گوتی: «یەزدان بیستوویەتی خۆشەویست نیم، بۆیە ئەمەشی پێدام.» ناوی لێنا شیمۆن. |
34 Later she became pregnant again, and gave birth to another son. She said, “Now, finally, my husband will hold me close to him.” So she named him Levi, [which means ‘hold close’].
| جارێکی دیکەش سکی پڕ بوو، کوڕێکی بوو و گوتی: «وا ئەم جارە ئیتر مێردەکەم پێمەوە پەیوەست دەبێت، چونکە سێ کوڕم بۆی بووە.» لەبەر ئەوە ناوی لێنا لێڤی. |
35 Later she became pregnant again and gave birth to another son. She said, “(This time/Now) I will praise Yahweh.” So she called his name Judah, [which sounds like the Hebrew word that means ‘praise’]. After that, she did not give birth to any more children [for several years].
| دیسان سکی پڕ بوو، کوڕێکی بوو و گوتی: «ئەم جارە ستایشی یەزدان دەکەم.» لەبەر ئەوە ناوی لێنا یەهودا. ئیتر لە سککردن وەستا. |
