Genesis 29
1 Then Jacob went on his journey and came to the land of the people of the east.
Nang magkagayo'y nagpatuloy si Jacob ng kaniyang paglalakbay, at napasa lupain ng mga anak ng silanganan.
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.
At siya'y tumingin, at nakakita ng isang balon sa parang, at narito, may tatlong kawan ng mga tupa na nagpapahinga sa tabi roon: sapagka't sa balong yaon pinaiinom ang mga kawan: at ang batong nasa ibabaw ng labi ng balon ay malaki.
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.
At doon nagkakatipon ang lahat ng kawan: at kanilang iginugulong ang batong nasa ibabaw ng labi ng balon, at pinaiinom ang mga tupa, at muling inilalagay ang bato sa ibabaw ng labi ng balon, sa dako niyaon.
4 Jacob said to them, “My brothers, where are you from?” They replied, “We are from Haran.”
At sinabi sa kanila ni Jacob, Mga kapatid ko, taga saan kayo? At kanilang sinabi, Taga Haran kami.
5 He said to them, “Do you know Laban son of Nahor?” They said, “We know him.”
At sinabi niya sa kanila, Nakikilala ba ninyo si Laban na anak ni Nachor? At kanilang sinabi, Nakikilala namin siya.
6 He said to them, “Is he well?” They said, “He is well, and, look there, Rachel his daughter is coming with the sheep.”
At sinabi niya sa kanila, Siya ba'y mabuti? At, kanilang sinabi, Siya'y mabuti: at, narito, si Raquel na kaniyang anak ay dumarating na dala ang mga tupa.
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.”
At sinabi niya, Narito, maaga pa, ni hindi oras tipunin ang mga hayop: painumin ninyo ang mga tupa, at inyo silang pasabsabin.
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.”
At kanilang sinabi, Hindi namin magagawa hanggang sa magkatipon ang lahat ng kawan, at igugulong ang bato mula sa labi ng balon; gayon nga aming pinaiinom ang mga tupa.
9 While Jacob was still speaking with them, Rachel came with her father's sheep, for she was tending them.
Samantalang nakikipagusap pa siya sa kanila, ay dumating si Raquel na dala ang mga tupa ng kaniyang ama; sapagka't siya ang nagaalaga ng mga iyon.
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.
At nangyari, nang makita ni Jacob si Raquel na anak ni Laban, na kapatid ng kaniyang ina, at ang mga tupa ni Laban na kapatid ng kaniyang ina, na lumapit si Jacob at iginulong ang bato mula sa labi ng balon, at pinainom ang kawan ni Laban, na kapatid ng kaniyang ina.
11 Jacob kissed Rachel and wept loudly.
At hinagkan ni Jacob si Raquel; at humiyaw ng malakas at umiyak.
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.
At kay Raquel ay sinaysay ni Jacob na siya'y kapatid ni Laban, na kaniyang ama, at anak siya ni Rebeca: at siya'y tumakbo at isinaysay sa kaniyang ama.
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.
At nangyari, nang marinig ni Laban ang mga balita tungkol kay Jacob, na anak ng kaniyang kapatid, ay tumakbo siya na kaniyang sinalubong, at kaniyang niyakap at kaniyang hinagkan, at kaniyang dinala sa kaniyang bahay. At isinaysay ni Jacob kay Laban ang lahat ng mga bagay na ito.
14 Laban said to him, “You are indeed my bone and my flesh.” Then Jacob stayed with him for about one month.
At sinabi sa kaniya ni Laban, Tunay na ikaw ay aking buto at aking laman. At dumoon sa kaniyang isang buwan.
15 Then Laban said to Jacob, “Should you serve me for nothing because you are my relative? Tell me, what will your wages be?”
At sinabi ni Laban kay Jacob, Sapagka't ikaw ay aking kapatid ay nararapat ka bang maglingkod sa akin ng walang bayad? sabihin mo sa akin kung ano ang magiging kaupahan mo.
16 Now Laban had two daughters. The name of the older was Leah, and the name of the younger was Rachel.
At may dalawang anak na babae si Laban: ang pangalan ng panganay ay Lea, at ang pangalan ng bunso ay Raquel.
17 Leah's eyes were tender, but Rachel was beautiful in form and appearance.
At ang mga mata ni Lea ay mapupungay; datapuwa't si Raquel ay maganda at kahalihalina.
18 Jacob loved Rachel, so he said, “I will serve you seven years for Rachel, your younger daughter.”
At sininta ni Jacob si Raquel; at kaniyang sinabi, Paglilingkuran kitang pitong taon dahil kay Raquel na iyong anak na bunso.
19 Laban said, “It is better that I give her to you, than that I should give her to another man. Stay with me.”
At sinabi ni Laban, Magaling ang ibigay ko siya sa iyo, kay sa ibigay ko sa iba: matira ka sa akin.
20 So Jacob served seven years for Rachel; and they seemed to him only a few days, for the love he had for her.
At naglingkod si Jacob dahil kay Raquel, na pitong taon; at sa kaniya'y naging parang ilang araw, dahil sa pagibig na taglay niya sa kaniya.
21 Then Jacob said to Laban, “Give me my wife, for my days have been completed—so that I may marry her!”
At sinabi ni Jacob kay Laban, Ibigay mo sa akin ang aking asawa, sapagka't naganap na ang aking mga araw upang ako'y sumiping sa kaniya.
22 So Laban gathered together all the men of the place and made a feast.
At pinisan ni Laban ang lahat ng tao roon at siya'y gumawa ng isang piging.
23 In the evening, Laban took Leah his daughter and brought her to Jacob, who slept with her.
At nangyari nang kinagabihan, na kaniyang kinuha si Lea na kaniyang anak at dinala niya kay Jacob, at siya'y sumiping sa kaniya.
24 Laban gave his female servant Zilpah to his daughter Leah, to be her servant.
At sa kaniyang anak na kay Lea ay ibinigay na pinaka alilang babae ang kaniyang alilang si Zilpa.
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?”
At nangyari, na sa kinaumagahan, narito't si Lea: at kaniyang sinabi kay Laban: Ano itong ginawa mo sa akin? Hindi ba kita pinaglingkuran dahil kay Raquel? Bakit mo nga ako dinaya?
26 Laban said, “It is not our custom to give the younger daughter before the firstborn.
At sinabi ni Laban, Hindi ginagawa ang ganyan dito sa aming dako, na ibinibigay ang bunso, bago ang panganay.
27 Complete the bridal week of this daughter, and we will give you the other also in return for serving me another seven years.”
Tapusin mo ang kaniyang sanglingo, at ibibigay rin naman namin sa iyo ang isa, dahil sa paglilingkod na gagawin mong pitong taon pa, sa akin.
28 Jacob did so, and completed Leah's week. Then Laban gave him Rachel his daughter as his wife also.
At gayon ang ginawa ni Jacob, at tinapos niya ang sanglingo nito, at ibinigay ni Laban sa kaniya si Raquel na kaniyang anak na maging asawa niya.
29 Laban also gave Bilhah to his daughter Rachel, to be her servant.
At sa kaniyang anak na kay Raquel ay ibinigay ni Laban na pinaka alilang babae ang kaniyang alilang si Bilha.
30 So Jacob slept with Rachel, too, but he loved Rachel more than Leah. So Jacob served Laban for seven more years.
At sumiping din naman si Jacob kay Raquel, at kaniya namang inibig si Raquel ng higit kay Lea, at naglingkod siya kay Laban na pitong taon pa.
31 Yahweh saw that Leah was not loved, so he opened her womb, but Rachel was childless.
At nakita ng Panginoon na si Lea ay kinapopootan niya, at binuksan ang kaniyang bahay-bata; datapuwa't si Raquel ay baog.
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.”
At naglihi si Lea, at nanganak ng isang lalake, at tinawag niya ang kaniyang pangalan na Ruben; sapagka't kaniyang sinabi, Sapagka't nilingap ng Panginoon ang aking kapighatian; dahil sa ngayo'y mamahalin ako ng aking asawa.
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.
At naglihi uli, at nanganak ng isang lalake; at nagsabi, Sapagka't narinig ng Panginoon na ako'y kinapopootan ay ibinigay rin naman sa akin ito: at pinanganlan niyang 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.
At naglihi uli at nanganak ng isang lalake; at nagsabi, Ngayo'y masasama na sa akin ang aking asawa, sapagka't nagkaanak ako sa kaniya ng tatlong lalake: kaya't pinanganlan niyang 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.
At muling naglihi at nanganak ng isang lalake, at nagsabi, Ngayo'y aking pupurihin ang Panginoon: kaya't pinanganlang Juda; at hindi na nanganak.
