Genesis 30
1 Rachel realized that she was not becoming pregnant and giving birth to any children for Jacob. So she became jealous of her older sister, Leah, because Leah had given birth to four sons. She said to Jacob, “Enable me to become pregnant and give birth to children. If you do not do that, I [think I will]!”
Raahileysse Yaaq'ubus uşax uxas dəxəmee, məng'ee yuçeys paxılıyvalla haa'a. Məng'ee adamiylk'le eyhen: – Zas uşax hele, deşxhee, qiyk'asda!
2 Jacob became angry with Rachel and said, “(I am not God!/Am I God?) [RHQ] He is the one who has prevented you from becoming pregnant!”
Yaaq'ub Raahileylqa qəllamişxha eyhen: – Nya'a zıne vas uşax hidele, nya'a zı Allahne vor?
3 Then she said, “Look, here is my female slave, Bilhah. (Sleep with/Have sex with) [EUP] her, so that she may become pregnant and give birth to children for me. In that way it will be as though (I have children/her children are mine).”
Raahilee eyhen: – Yizda nukar Bilyhan alert'e, məng'ı'ka g'alixhe. Məng'ee uşax uxumee zı mana alyar'tu mang'us yedyvalla haa'as, zı uşaxdena imeexvacenva.
4 So she gave him her slave, Bilhah, to be another wife for him, and Jacob had sex [EUP] with her.
Raahilee cena nukar Bilyhan adamiys xhunaşşe yixhecenva heele. Yaaq'ubur məng'ı'ka g'ılexhana.
5 She became pregnant and bore Jacob a son.
Bilyhan vuxhne ayxu, mang'us dix uxu.
6 Rachel said, “God has (vindicated me/judged my case and has decided that what I have done is right). He has also heard my requests and has given me a son.” So she named him Dan, [which sounds like the Hebrew word that means ‘he judged’].
Raahilee eyhen: – Allah məhkamee yizde sural ıxha, yizın nıq' g'ayxhı, zas dix huvu. Mançil-allad məng'ee mang'un do Dani (Mang'vee məhkamee havacesda) giyxhe.
7 Later, Rachel’s slave Bilhah became pregnant again and gave birth to another son for Jacob.
Raahileyna nukar Bilyhan meer vuxhne eexvaa, məng'ee Yaaq'ubus q'ör'esda dix uxooxa.
8 Then Rachel said, “I have had a great struggle to have children like my older sister, but truly I have a son.” So she named him Naphtali, [which sounds like the Hebrew word that means ‘struggle’].
Raahilee eyhen: – Zı yuçeyka saç'iyku, Allahne kumagıka ğamiyxhana. Məng'ee mançil-allad uşaxın do Naftali (yizın saç'iykvuy) giyxhe.
9 When Leah realized that she was not becoming pregnant and giving birth to any more children, she took her female slave, Zilpah, and gave her to Jacob to be another wife for him.
Leaysse sabara gahna uşaxar uxooxas vəvxü deş. Məng'ee mançil-allar cena nukar Zilypan Yaaq'ubus xhunaşşe yixhecenva heele.
10 Zilpah soon became pregnant and gave birth to a son for Jacob.
Leayne nukaree Zilypanee Yaaq'ubus sa dix uxu.
11 Leah said, “I am truly fortunate!” So she named him Gad, [which means ‘fortunate’].
Leayee eyhen: – Nimee xəbna xoşbaxtiyvallayiy! Məng'ee mang'un doyud Qad (xoşbaxtiyvalla) giyxhe.
12 Later Leah’s slave, Zilpah, gave birth to another son for Jacob.
Leayne nukaree Zilypanee Yaaq'ubus q'ör'esda dix uxu.
13 Leah said, “Now I am very happy, and people will call me happy.” So she named him Asher, [which means ‘happy].’
Leayee eyhen: – Zı baxtivarır, yadaaşed zak'le baxtivarva eyhes. Məng'ee uşaxın do Aşer (baxtivar) giyxhe.
14 When it was time to harvest wheat, Reuben went out into the fields and saw some (mandrakes/plants that women eat to help them to become pregnant). He brought some of them to his mother Leah. But Rachel saw them and said to Leah, “Please give me some of those plants that your son brought to you!”
Ruvenık'le suk qiviyşalne gahıl çolead mandragorun ala iveeke, mang'vee manbı yedis Leays adayle. Raahilee Leayk'le eyhen: – Yiğne duxee adıyn mandragorbışike zasıd helelan.
15 But Leah said to her, “No! (It was bad that you stole my husband!/Is it not bad enough that you stole my husband?) [RHQ] Now (are you going to take my son’s mandrake plants?/You want to take my son’s mandrake plants also, [so that you can become pregnant]!)” [RHQ] So Rachel said, “All right, Jacob can sleep with you tonight, if you give me some of your son’s mandrake plants.” [So Leah (agreed/gave her some)].
Leayee məng'ı'k'le eyhen: – Adamiy xılençe g'ayşuy ç'əvxha dişdee? Həşded duxayn mandragorbıne g'ayşes ıkkan? Raahilee eyhen: – Həməxüdxheene, hasre duxayne mandragorbışil-alla ine xəmdiys yizda adamiy vaka g'alixhecen.
16 When Jacob returned from the wheat fields that evening, Leah went out to meet him. She said, “You must sleep with me tonight, because I gave Rachel some of my son’s mandrakes [that enable women to become pregnant], to pay her for allowing us to do that.” So Jacob slept with her that night.
Yaaq'ub exheeqana çoleençe qööngə, mang'unee ögeeqa Lea qığeyç'u eyhen: – Ğu g'iyna zaka g'alixhas, yizde duxee adıyne mandragorbışis zı ğu alişşu. Yaaq'ub mane xəmde məng'ı'ka g'ılexha.
17 God answered Leah’s prayers, and she became pregnant and bore a fifth son to Jacob.
Allahık'le Leayna düə giviyxhena. Lea vuxhne ayxu, Yaaq'ubus xhor'esda dix uxu.
18 Leah said, “God has rewarded me for giving my slave to my husband to be another wife for him.” So she named him Issachar, [which sounds like the Hebrew word that means ‘reward’].
Leayee eyhen: – Allahee zı yizda nukar yizde adamiys hiyvuy höötxüva, yizda hək' quvuna. Məng'ee uşaxın do İssaxar (Mang'vee hək' quvuna) giyxhe.
19 Leah became pregnant again and bore a sixth son for Jacob.
Leaye meer vuxhne eexvaa, məng'ee Yaaq'ubus yixhır'esda dix uxooxa.
20 Leah said, “God has given me a precious gift. (This time/Now) my husband will honor/respect me, because I have given birth to six sons for him.” So she named him Zebulon, [which sounds like the Hebrew word that means ‘accepted gift’].
Məng'ee eyhen: – Allahee zas sa yugna pay huvu. Həşde yizde adamee zas hı'rmat gyuvxhesda. Zı mang'us yixhıyre dix uxuva. Məng'ee uşaxın do Zevulun (hı'rmat) giyxhe.
21 Later she gave birth to a daughter, and named her Dinah.
Sabara gahıle məng'ee sa yiş yuxu, doyud Dina giyxhe.
22 Then God thought about what Rachel wanted. He heard her prayers and enabled her to become pregnant.
Allahee Raahile yik'el qiyelee'e, məng'ı'na düə g'avxhu, uşax uxasın xhinne qee'e.
23 She became pregnant and gave birth to a son. She said, “God has caused that no longer will I be ashamed [for not having children].”
Mana vuxhne ayxu sa dix uxu eyhen: – Allahee zalin pisın do ak'ani'iyn.
24 She named him Joseph, [which sounds like the Hebrew words that mean ‘may he give another’] and she said, ‘want Yahweh to give me another son.’
«Allahee zas sayir dix helecenva» uvhu, Raahilee mang'un do Yusuf (Mang'vee sayir helecenva) giyxhe.
25 After Rachel had given birth to Joseph, Jacob said to Laban, “Now allow me to quit working for you and let me return to my own land.
26 You know the work that I have done for you [for a long time to get my wives]. So let me take my wives and my children, and leave.”
27 But Laban said to him, “If you are pleased with me, stay here, because I have found out by performing a magic ritual that Yahweh has blessed me because of what you have done for me.
28 Tell me what you want me to pay you for continuing to work for me, and that is what I will pay you.”
29 Jacob replied, “You know how I have worked for you, and you know that your livestock have increased greatly as I have taken care of them.
30 You had only a few animals before I came here. But now you have very many, and Yahweh has caused them to increase greatly in number wherever I have taken them. But now I need to start taking care of the needs of my own family.”
31 Laban replied, “What do you want me to give you?” Jacob replied, “I do not want you to pay me anything. But if you will do this one thing for me, I will continue to take care of your flocks and protect them.
32 Allow me to go and look at all of your flocks today and remove from them all the speckled sheep, all the spotted sheep, and every dark-colored lamb, all the goats that are speckled, and all the goats that are spotted, [and keep them for myself]. They will be my wages.
33 In that way, in the future, you will be able to know whether I have been honest regarding what you have paid me. If any of my goats are neither speckled or spotted, or if any of my lambs are not dark-colored, you will know that I have stolen them from you.”
34 Laban agreed and said, “Okay, we will do as you have said.”
35 But that same day Laban removed all the male goats that had black and white stripes on them or were spotted, and all the female goats that were speckled or spotted, all the goats that were partly white, and all the dark-colored lambs. He separated them and told his sons to take care of them.
36 Then he took these flocks and walked a distance of three days, in order that he could be that far from Jacob. Jacob continued to take care of the rest of Laban’s flocks.
37 Then Jacob cut some branches of (poplar, almond, and plane trees/three kinds of trees that had white wood). He peeled strips of bark from the branches, so that where the bark had been peeled off, the branches were light in color.
38 Then he placed the peeled branches in the troughs where they put the water for the animals to drink, so that the branches would be in front of the flocks when they came to drink.
39 The animals also mated in front of the branches, and eventually they gave birth to animals that were speckled, or to animals that were spotted, or to animals that had black and white stripes on them.
40 Furthermore, Jacob separated the female sheep in his flock from the other sheep and goats in Laban’s flock. And when his female sheep mated, he made them look toward the animals that belonged to Laban that had black and white stripes on them, and the dark-colored animals. He did that so that the female sheep would give birth to animals that were striped or dark-colored. By doing that, he made bigger flocks for himself, and he kept them separate from Laban’s flocks.
41 In addition, whenever the stronger female sheep were ready to mate, Jacob put some of those peeled branches in the troughs in front of them, so that they would mate in front of the branches.
42 But when weak animals were ready to mate, he did not put the branches in their troughs. So the weak ones became part of Laban’s flock, and the strong ones became part of Jacob’s flock.
43 As a result, Jacob became very rich. He owned many large flocks of sheep and goats, and many male and female slaves, and many camels and donkeys.
