Genesis 29
1 Then Jacob went on his journey and came to the land of the people of the east.
Jacob el fahsr liki acn sac ac som tulanya facl sin mwet layen nu kutulap.
2 As he looked, he saw a well in the field, and, behold, three flocks of sheep were lying there by it. For out of that well they would water the flocks, and the stone over the well's mouth was large.
El fahsr nwe liyauk lufin kof se inimae ac u tolu ke sheep oan mongla siska. Mwet uh elos kite sheep natulos ke kof in luf se inge. Oasr eot tupasrpasr lulap se sang afin luf sac.
3 When all the flocks had gathered there, the shepherds would roll the stone from the well's mouth and water the sheep, and then put the stone again over the well's mouth, back in its place.
Pacl se ma un sheep nukewa ac fahsreni uh, mwet karingin sheep inge ac epusla eot sac ac kiteya sheep natulos. Na toko elos fah sifil oakeang eot sac in afinya.
4 Jacob said to them, “My brothers, where are you from?” They replied, “We are from Haran.”
Jacob el siyuk sin mwet liyaung sheep uh, “Kowos mwet ya?” Elos fahk, “Kut mwet Haran.”
5 He said to them, “Do you know Laban son of Nahor?” They said, “We know him.”
El siyuk selos, “Ku kowos etal Laban, su ac ma natul Nahor?” Ac elos fahk, “Aok, kut etal.”
6 He said to them, “Is he well?” They said, “He is well, and, look there, Rachel his daughter is coming with the sheep.”
Na el siyuk, “Ac el fuka?” Elos topuk, “El ku na. Ngetot liye, tulik mutan se natul pa pwen un sheep natul fahsru ingo. El pa Rachel.”
7 Jacob said, “See, it is the middle of the day. It is not the time for the flocks to be gathered together. You should water the sheep and then go and let them graze.”
Jacob el fahk, “Liye, srakna infulwen len, soenna pacl in utukeni sheep uh. Kowos ku tia kiteya ke kof ac folokunulosla nu inima elos in mongo we?”
8 They said, “We cannot water them until all the flocks are gathered together. The men will then roll the stone from the well's mouth, and we will water the sheep.”
Elos fahk, “Kut tia wi oru angan. Ac soaneyuk nwe ke na un sheep nukewa faseni, ac eot se inge ipisyukla, na kut fah sang kof nimalos.”
9 While Jacob was still speaking with them, Rachel came with her father's sheep, for she was tending them.
Ke Jacob el srakna kaskas nu selos, Rachel el tuku wi un sheep nutin papa tumal ah.
10 When Jacob saw Rachel, the daughter of Laban, his mother's brother, and the sheep of Laban, his mother's brother, Jacob came over, rolled the stone from the well's mouth, and watered the flock of Laban, his mother's brother.
Ke Jacob el liyalak Rachel, el som nu ke lufin kof uh ac epusla eot sac, na sang kof nimen sheep natul Laban, su ma loun nina kial.
11 Jacob kissed Rachel and wept loudly.
Na Jacob el ngok mutal Rachel, ac tung ke sripen engan lal.
12 Jacob told Rachel that he was her father's relative, and that he was Rebekah's son. Then she ran and told her father.
El fahkang nu sel, “Nga wen natul Rebecca, sou lun papa tomom.” Na Rachel el yula ac fahkang nu sin papa tumal ah.
13 When Laban heard the news about Jacob his sister's son, he ran to meet him, embraced him, kissed him, and brought him to his house. Jacob told Laban all these things.
Ac ke papa sac lohng pweng kacl Jacob, mukul se nutin ma loul, el kasrusr som in sonol. El sruokilya ac ngok mutal, na el usalla nu in lohm sel. Ke Jacob el srumunang nu sel Laban ma nukewa ma sikyak nu sel ah,
14 Laban said to him, “You are indeed my bone and my flesh.” Then Jacob stayed with him for about one month.
Laban el fahk, “Pwaye na pwaye lah kut srah sefanna.” Na Jacob el muta yorol malem se.
15 Then Laban said to Jacob, “Should you serve me for nothing because you are my relative? Tell me, what will your wages be?”
Laban el fahk nu sel Jacob, “Kut finne sou, kom fah tia orekma nu sik ke wangin molo. Nga ac akfalye nu sum fuka?”
16 Now Laban had two daughters. The name of the older was Leah, and the name of the younger was Rachel.
Oasr acn luo natul Laban — inen ma se ma matu ah pa Leah, ac ma se ma srik ah pa Rachel.
17 Leah's eyes were tender, but Rachel was beautiful in form and appearance.
Wo mutal Leah, tusruktu Rachel el arulana oasku ac wo pac lumahl.
18 Jacob loved Rachel, so he said, “I will serve you seven years for Rachel, your younger daughter.”
Jacob el arulana lungse Rachel, ac el fahk, “Nga ac orekma nu sum yac itkosr, kom fin usalu Rachel kiuk.”
19 Laban said, “It is better that I give her to you, than that I should give her to another man. Stay with me.”
Laban el topuk, “Nga ac lungse eisalot nu sum liki na in eisalang nu sin kutena mwet saya. Tari, mutana yuruk.”
20 So Jacob served seven years for Rachel; and they seemed to him only a few days, for the love he had for her.
Jacob el orekma yac itkosr elan mau ku in eisal Rachel, ac ke sripen el lungse el yohk, yac itkosr sac oana in pacl na fototo se nu sel.
21 Then Jacob said to Laban, “Give me my wife, for my days have been completed—so that I may marry her!”
Na Jacob el fahk nu sel Laban, “Sun tari lusen pacl sac. Fuhlela nga in payukyak sin acn nutum.”
22 So Laban gathered together all the men of the place and made a feast.
Ouinge Laban el oru kufwen marut se ac suli mwet nukewa.
23 In the evening, Laban took Leah his daughter and brought her to Jacob, who slept with her.
Tusruktu in fong sac, el tia usal Rachel, a el eisalang Leah nu sel Jacob, ac Jacob el ona yorol. (
24 Laban gave his female servant Zilpah to his daughter Leah, to be her servant.
Laban el eisalang Zilpah, mutan kulansap lal, nu sel Leah, acn natul, tuh elan mutan kulansap lal.)
25 In the morning, behold, it was Leah! Jacob said to Laban, “What is this you have done to me? Did I not serve you for Rachel? Why then have you tricked me?”
Jacob el tiana etu nwe ke lotutang tok ah lah Leah pa oan yorol ah. El som nu yorol Laban ac fahk, “Efu kom ku oru ange nu sik? Nga orekma kacl Rachel, na efu kom ku kiapweyula?”
26 Laban said, “It is not our custom to give the younger daughter before the firstborn.
Laban el fahk, “Ouiya lasr uh, kut tia ku in sang el su srik in payukyak meet liki el su matu.
27 Complete the bridal week of this daughter, and we will give you the other also in return for serving me another seven years.”
Tupan in safla wik in akfulat lun marut uh, na nga fah eisalot Rachel nu sum, kom fin sifilpa orekma luk ke yac itkosr.”
28 Jacob did so, and completed Leah's week. Then Laban gave him Rachel his daughter as his wife also.
Jacob el insese nu kac, ac ke safla wik in akfulat ke marut uh, Laban el eisalang Rachel, acn natul, tuh elan mutan pac kial. (
29 Laban also gave Bilhah to his daughter Rachel, to be her servant.
Laban el eisalang Bilhah, mutan kulansap lal, nu sel Rachel, acn natul, tuh elan mutan kulansap lal.)
30 So Jacob slept with Rachel, too, but he loved Rachel more than Leah. So Jacob served Laban for seven more years.
Jacob el ona yorol Rachel pac, ac el lungse Rachel yohk lukel Leah. Ouinge el sifilpa orekma nu sel Laban ke yac itkosr pac.
31 Yahweh saw that Leah was not loved, so he opened her womb, but Rachel was childless.
Ke LEUM GOD El liye lah srik lungse lal Jacob nu sel Leah lukel Rachel, El oru tuh in oasr tulik natul Leah, a funu Rachel, wangin tulik natul.
32 Leah conceived and bore a son, and she called his name Reuben. For she said, “Because Yahweh has looked upon my affliction; surely now my husband will love me.”
Leah el pitutuyak ac oswela wen se. El fahk, “LEUM GOD El liye keok luk, ac inge mukul tumuk uh ac fah lungsela nga.” Ouinge el sang inen tulik sac Reuben.
33 Then she conceived again and bore a son. She said, “Because Yahweh has heard that I am unloved, he has therefore given me this son also,” and she called his name Simeon.
El sifilpa pitutuyak ac oswela pac wen se. El fahk, “LEUM GOD El ase pac wen se inge nutik, mweyen El lohng lah srungayuk na nga.” Ke ma inge el sang inen tulik sac Simeon.
34 Then she conceived again and bore a son. She said, “Now this time will my husband be attached to me, because I have borne him three sons.” Therefore his name was called Levi.
El sifilpa pitutuyak ac oswela pac wen se. Na el fahk, “Inge mukul tumuk uh ac arulana kupasrme nu sik liki na meet ah, mweyen nga osweang wen tolu nu sel.” Ke ma inge el sang inen wen sac Levi.
35 She conceived again and bore a son. She said, “This time I will praise Yahweh.” Therefore she called his name Judah; then she stopped having children.
Toko el sifilpa pitutuyak ac oswela wen se. Ac el fahk, “Inge nga fah kaksakin LEUM GOD.” Ouinge el sang inen wen sac Judah. Na wotyak isus lal uh.
