Genesis 29
1 Then Jacob went on his journey and came to the land of the people of the east.
Na ka turia atu e Hakopa, ka haere ki te whenua o nga tangata o te rawhiti.
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.
Na ka titiro atu ia, a ka kite i tetahi poka i te parae, na, ko etahi kahui hipi e toru e takoto ana i te taha; i whakainumia hoki e ratou nga kahui ki te wai o taua poka: he nui hoki te kohatu i te waha o te poka.
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.
I huihuia hoki ki reira nga kahui katoa: a whakataka atu ana e ratou te kohatu i te waha o te poka, kia whakainumia ai nga hipi, na ka whakahokia ano e ratou te kohatu ki te waha o te poka, ki tona wahi.
4 Jacob said to them, “My brothers, where are you from?” They replied, “We are from Haran.”
Na ka mea a Hakopa ki a ratou, E oku tuakana, no hea koutou? A ka mea ratou, No Harana matou.
5 He said to them, “Do you know Laban son of Nahor?” They said, “We know him.”
Na ka mea ia ki a ratou, E mohio ana ianei koutou ki a Rapana, tama a Nahora? Ka mea ratou, E mohio ana ano matou.
6 He said to them, “Is he well?” They said, “He is well, and, look there, Rachel his daughter is coming with the sheep.”
A ka mea ia ki a ratou, E ora ana ranei ia? Ka mea ratou, E ora ana ano: ko Rahera ano tenei, ko tana tamahine te haere mai nei me nga hipi.
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.”
Na ka mea ia, Nana, he nui ano te ra, ehara tenei i te wa hei huihuinga mai mo nga kararehe: whakainumia nga hipi, haere hoki ki te whangai.
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.”
Na ka mea ratou, E kore e taea e matou, kia huihuia mai ra ano nga kahui katoa, kia whakataka hoki e ratou te kohatu i te waha o te poka; katahi ka whakainu matou i nga hipi.
9 While Jacob was still speaking with them, Rachel came with her father's sheep, for she was tending them.
I a ia ano e korero ana ki a ratou, ka puta mai a Rahera me nga hipi a tona papa: ko ia hoki te kaiwhangai.
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.
A, no te kitenga o Hakopa i a Rahera tamahine a Rapana, tungane o tona whaea, me nga hipi hoki a Rapana, tungane o tona whaea, na ka haere a Hakopa, a whakataka atu ana e ia te kohatu i te waha o te poka, whakainumia ana e ia nga hipi a Rapana, tungane o tona whaea.
11 Jacob kissed Rachel and wept loudly.
Na ka kihi a Hakopa i a Rahera, a nui atu tona reo ki te tangi.
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.
Na ka whakaaturia e Hakopa ki a Rahera ko ia te iramutu o tona papa, he tama hoki na Ripeka: a ka rere ia ki te korero ki tona papa.
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.
Na, i te taenga atu ki a Rapana o te rongo o Hakopa, tama a tona tuahine, ka rere ia ki te whakatau i a ia, ka awhi i a ia, ka kihi hoki i a ia, a kawea ana ki tona whare. A ka korerotia e ia enei mea katoa ki a Rapana.
14 Laban said to him, “You are indeed my bone and my flesh.” Then Jacob stayed with him for about one month.
Na ka mea a Rapana ki a ia, He pono ko toku whenua, ko toku kikokiko koe. A kotahi te marama i noho ai ia ki a ia.
15 Then Laban said to Jacob, “Should you serve me for nothing because you are my relative? Tell me, what will your wages be?”
Na ka mea a Rapana ki a Hakopa, No te mea ko taku iramutu koe, me mahi noa ano koe ki ahau? korero mai ki ahau, me aha he utu mou?
16 Now Laban had two daughters. The name of the older was Leah, and the name of the younger was Rachel.
Na tokorua nga tamahine a Rapana: ko te ingoa o te tuakana ko Rea, ko te ingoa hoki o te teina ko Rahera.
17 Leah's eyes were tender, but Rachel was beautiful in form and appearance.
He papahewa nga kanohi o Rea; he mea ahuareka ia a Rahera, he ataahua hoki ki te titiro atu.
18 Jacob loved Rachel, so he said, “I will serve you seven years for Rachel, your younger daughter.”
Na i aroha a Hakopa ki a Rahera; a ka mea ia, Kia whitu nga tau e mahi ai ahau ki a koe mo Rahera, mo tau tamahine o muri.
19 Laban said, “It is better that I give her to you, than that I should give her to another man. Stay with me.”
Na ka mea a Rapana, Engari te hoatu e ahau ki a koe, kei hoatu ki te tangata ke: e noho ki ahau.
20 So Jacob served seven years for Rachel; and they seemed to him only a few days, for the love he had for her.
Na e whitu nga tau i mahi ai a Hakopa mo Rahera; a he rangi torutoru noa ake te rite o aua tau ki tona whakaaro, i tona aroha ki a ia.
21 Then Jacob said to Laban, “Give me my wife, for my days have been completed—so that I may marry her!”
Na ka mea a Hakopa ki a Rapana, Homai taku wahine, kua rite nei hoki oku ra, kia haere ahau ki roto, ki a ia.
22 So Laban gathered together all the men of the place and made a feast.
Na ka huihuia mai e Rapana nga tangata katoa o taua wahi, a tukua ana e ia he hakari.
23 In the evening, Laban took Leah his daughter and brought her to Jacob, who slept with her.
A, i te ahiahi ka mau ia ki a Rea ki tana tamahine, a kawea ana ia ki a ia; a ka haere ia ki roto, ki a ia.
24 Laban gave his female servant Zilpah to his daughter Leah, to be her servant.
A i hoatu e Rapana a Tiripa, tana pononga wahine, hei pononga ma Rea, ma tana tamahine.
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?”
A, i te ata, na, ko Rea ia: a ka mea ia ki a Rapana, He aha tenei mahi au ki ahau? ehara ianei a Rahera i taku i mahi ai ahau ki a koe? he aha ra koe i tinihanga ai ki ahau?
26 Laban said, “It is not our custom to give the younger daughter before the firstborn.
Na ko te meatanga a Rapana, Ehara tenei i te tikanga o to matou whenua, kia hoatu te teina ki mua o te tuakana.
27 Complete the bridal week of this daughter, and we will give you the other also in return for serving me another seven years.”
Whakatutukitia te wiki mo tenei, a ka hoatu ano hoki tera e matou ki a koe mo te mahi e mahi ai koe ki ahau i etahi atu tau e whitu.
28 Jacob did so, and completed Leah's week. Then Laban gave him Rachel his daughter as his wife also.
A pera ana a Hakopa, a whakatutukitia ana e ia te wiki mo tenei: a ka homai e ia a Rahera, tana tamahine, ki a ia hei wahine mana.
29 Laban also gave Bilhah to his daughter Rachel, to be her servant.
I homai ano e Rapana a Piriha, tana pononga wahine, ki a Rahera, ki tana tamahine, hei pononga mana.
30 So Jacob slept with Rachel, too, but he loved Rachel more than Leah. So Jacob served Laban for seven more years.
Na ka haere ano hoki ia ki roto, ki a Rahera, a nui atu tona aroha ki a Rahera i tona ki a Rea; e whitu atu ano nga tau i mahi ai ia ki a ia.
31 Yahweh saw that Leah was not loved, so he opened her womb, but Rachel was childless.
A ka kite a Ihowa e kinongia ana a Rea, ka whakatuwheratia e ia tona kopu: he pakoko ia a Rahera.
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.”
Na ka hapu a Rea, a ka whanau he tama, a huaina ana e ia tona ingoa ko Reupena: i mea hoki ia, Mo Ihowa hoki i titiro mai ki toku tangihanga; ta te mea hoki akuanei taku tahu aroha ai ki ahau.
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.
Na ka hapu ano ia, a ka whanau he tama; a ka mea ia, I rongo hoki a Ihowa e kinongia ana ahau, koia i homai ai hoki e ia tenei ki ahau: a huaina ana e ia tona ingoa ko Himiona.
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.
Na ka hapu ano ia, a ka whanau he tama; a ka mea ia, Katahi ano taku tahu ka piri mai ki ahau, no te mea hoki ka tokotoru a maua tama ka whanau; na reira i huaina ai e ia tona ingoa ko Riwai.
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.
Na ka hapu ano ia, a ka whanau he tama; a ka mea ia, Katahi ahau ka whakamoemiti ki a Ihowa: koia i huaina ai e ia tona ingoa ko Hura: a ka mutu tana whanau.
