< Genesis 29 >
1 Then Jacob went on his journey, and came to the land of the children of the east.
Jakọbu sì tẹ̀síwájú nínú ìrìnàjò rẹ̀, ó sì dé ilẹ̀ àwọn ará ìlà-oòrùn.
2 He looked, and saw a well in the field, and saw three flocks of sheep lying there by it. For out of that well they watered the flocks. The stone on the well’s mouth was large.
Ó sì rí kànga kan ní pápá, agbo àgùntàn mẹ́ta sì dúró láti mu omi ní ibi kànga náà, nítorí pé láti inú kànga náà ni wọ́n ti ń fi omi fún agbo àgùntàn. Òkúta tí a gbé dí ẹnu kànga náà sì tóbi gidigidi.
3 There all the flocks were gathered. They rolled the stone from the well’s mouth, and watered the sheep, and put the stone back on the well’s mouth in its place.
Nígbà tí gbogbo agbo ẹran bá péjọpọ̀ sí ibẹ̀ tán ni àwọn darandaran yóò tó yí òkúta náà kúrò, tí wọn yóò sì fún àwọn ẹran náà ní omi, tí wọ́n bá sì ti ṣe bẹ́ẹ̀ tán, wọn yóò tún yí òkúta náà padà sí ẹnu kànga náà.
4 Jacob said to them, “My relatives, where are you from?” They said, “We are from Haran.”
Jakọbu béèrè lọ́wọ́ àwọn darandaran náà pé, “Ẹ̀yin arákùnrin mi níbo ni ẹ̀yin ti wá?” Àwọn náà sì dáhùn pé, “Láti Harani ni.”
5 He said to them, “Do you know Laban, the son of Nahor?” They said, “We know him.”
Ó sì bi wọ́n pé, “Ǹjẹ́ ẹ mọ Labani ọmọ ọmọ Nahori?” Wọ́n sì dáhùn pé, “Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni, àwa mọ̀ ọ́n.”
6 He said to them, “Is it well with him?” They said, “It is well. See, Rachel, his daughter, is coming with the sheep.”
Jakọbu béèrè pé, “Ṣe àlàáfíà ni ó wà?” Wọ́n sì dáhùn pé, “Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni, àlàáfíà ni. Wò ó, Rakeli ọmọ rẹ̀ ni ó ń bọ̀ yìí pẹ̀lú agbo àgùntàn.”
7 He said, “Behold, it is still the middle of the day, not time to gather the livestock together. Water the sheep, and go and feed them.”
Ó sì wí pé, “Kíyèsi, ilẹ̀ ò tí ì ṣú, kò tì í tó àkókò fún àwọn ohun ọ̀sìn láti wọ̀. Ẹ fún àwọn ẹran wọ̀nyí ní omi, kí ẹ ba à le tètè dà wọ́n padà láti jẹun.”
8 They said, “We can’t, until all the flocks are gathered together, and they roll the stone from the well’s mouth. Then we will water the sheep.”
Wọ́n dá a lóhùn pé, “Àwa kì í yí òkúta kúrò ní ẹnu kànga láti pọn omi fún àwọn ẹran títí gbogbo àwọn darandaran àti àwọn ẹran yóò fi péjọ tán.”
9 While he was yet speaking with them, Rachel came with her father’s sheep, for she kept them.
Bí wọ́n sì ti ń sọ̀rọ̀ lọ́wọ́ ni Rakeli dé pẹ̀lú agbo àgùntàn baba rẹ̀, nítorí darandaran ni òun náà.
10 When Jacob saw Rachel the daughter of Laban, his mother’s brother, and the sheep of Laban, his mother’s brother, Jacob went near, and rolled the stone from the well’s mouth, and watered the flock of Laban his mother’s brother.
Nígbà tí Jakọbu rí Rakeli ọmọbìnrin Labani tí í ṣe ẹ̀gbọ́n ìyá rẹ̀, pẹ̀lú àgùntàn Labani, Jakọbu súnmọ́ kànga náà, ó sì yí òkúta kúrò lẹ́nu rẹ̀, ó sì fún àwọn ẹran arákùnrin ìyá rẹ̀ Labani ní omi.
11 Jacob kissed Rachel, and lifted up his voice, and wept.
Jakọbu sì fẹnu ko Rakeli ní ẹnu. Ó sì bẹ̀rẹ̀ sí í sọkún.
12 Jacob told Rachel that he was her father’s relative, and that he was Rebekah’s son. She ran and told her father.
Jakọbu sì wí fún Rakeli pé ìbátan baba rẹ̀ ni òun, àti pé, òun jẹ́ ọmọ Rebeka. Rakeli sì sáré lọ sọ fún baba rẹ̀.
13 When Laban heard the news of Jacob, his sister’s son, he ran to meet Jacob, and embraced him, and kissed him, and brought him to his house. Jacob told Laban all these things.
Ní kété tí Labani gbúròó Jakọbu ọmọ arábìnrin rẹ̀, ó jáde lọ pàdé Jakọbu, ó dì mọ́ ọn, ó fi ẹnu kò ó ní ẹnu, ó sì mú un lọ sí ilé. Nígbà náà ni Jakọbu ròyìn ohun gbogbo fún un.
14 Laban said to him, “Surely you are my bone and my flesh.” Jacob stayed with him for a month.
Labani sì wí pé, “Ẹran-ara àti ẹ̀jẹ̀ ara mi ni ìwọ jẹ́.” Lẹ́yìn tí Jakọbu sì wà pẹ̀lú rẹ̀ fún odidi oṣù kan,
15 Laban said to Jacob, “Because you are my relative, should you therefore serve me for nothing? Tell me, what will your wages be?”
Labani wí fún Jakọbu pé, “Bí a tilẹ̀ jẹ́ ìbátan, kò yẹ kí o máa ṣiṣẹ́ fún mi lásán láìgba ohun kankan. Sọ ohun tì ìwọ fẹ́ gbà fún iṣẹ́ tí ìwọ ń ṣe fún mi!”
16 Laban had two daughters. The name of the elder was Leah, and the name of the younger was Rachel.
Wàyí o, Labani ní ọmọbìnrin méjì, orúkọ èyí ẹ̀gbọ́n ń jẹ́ Lea, orúkọ àbúrò sì ń jẹ́ Rakeli.
17 Leah’s eyes were weak, but Rachel was beautiful in form and attractive.
Lea kò ní ẹwà púpọ̀, ṣùgbọ́n Rakeli ní ẹwà gidigidi. Ojú rẹ̀ sì fanimọ́ra.
18 Jacob loved Rachel. He said, “I will serve you seven years for Rachel, your younger daughter.”
Jakọbu sì fẹ́ràn Rakeli, ó sì wí fún baba rẹ̀ pé, “Èmi yóò ṣiṣẹ́ sìn ọ fún ọdún méje, bí ìwọ yóò bá fún mi ní Rakeli ọmọ rẹ ní aya.”
19 Laban said, “It is better that I give her to you, than that I should give her to another man. Stay with me.”
Labani sì dáhùn wí pé, “Ó kúkú sàn kí ń fi fún ọ, ju kí ń fi fún ẹlòmíràn lọ, nítorí náà wà ní ọ̀dọ̀ mi.”
20 Jacob served seven years for Rachel. They seemed to him but a few days, for the love he had for her.
Jakọbu sì ṣiṣẹ́ sin Labani fún ọdún méje láti fẹ́ Rakeli. Àwọn ọdún wọ̀nyí sì dàbí ọjọ́ díẹ̀ lára rẹ̀, nítorí ó fẹ́ràn rẹ̀.
21 Jacob said to Laban, “Give me my wife, for my days are fulfilled, that I may go in to her.”
Jakọbu sì wí fún Labani pé, “Mo ti parí àsìkò tí a jọ ṣe àdéhùn rẹ̀, nítorí náà fún mi ní aya mi, kí òun lè ṣe aya fún mi.”
22 Laban gathered together all the men of the place, and made a feast.
Labani sì pe gbogbo ènìyàn ibẹ̀ jọ, ó sì ṣe àsè ìyàwó fún wọ́n.
23 In the evening, he took Leah his daughter, and brought her to Jacob. He went in to her.
Ṣùgbọ́n nígbà tí ó di òru, Labani mú Lea tọ Jakọbu lọ. Jakọbu sì bá a lòpọ̀.
24 Laban gave Zilpah his servant to his daughter Leah for a servant.
Labani sì fi Silipa ọmọ ọ̀dọ̀ rẹ̀ obìnrin fún Lea gẹ́gẹ́ bí ìránṣẹ́.
25 In the morning, behold, it was Leah! He said to Laban, “What is this you have done to me? Didn’t I serve with you for Rachel? Why then have you deceived me?”
Sì kíyèsi, nígbà ti ilẹ̀ mọ́, Jakọbu rí i pé Lea ni! Ó sì wí fún Labani pé, “Èwo ni ìwọ ṣe sí mi yìí? Ṣe bí nítorí Rakeli ni mo ṣe ṣiṣẹ́ sìn ọ, èéṣe tí ìwọ tàn mi?”
26 Laban said, “It is not done so in our place, to give the younger before the firstborn.
Labani sì dáhùn pé, “Kò bá àṣà wa mu láti fi àbúrò fún ọkọ ṣáájú ẹ̀gbọ́n rẹ̀.
27 Fulfil the week of this one, and we will give you the other also for the service which you will serve with me for seven more years.”
Mú sùúrù parí ọ̀sẹ̀ ìgbéyàwó yìí náà, nígbà náà ni èmi yóò fi àbúrò rẹ̀ fún ọ pẹ̀lú, bí ìwọ ó bá ṣiṣẹ́ sìn mi fún ọdún méje mìíràn.”
28 Jacob did so, and fulfilled her week. He gave him Rachel his daughter as wife.
Jakọbu sì gbà láti sin Labani fún ọdún méje mìíràn. Labani sì fi Rakeli ọmọ rẹ̀ fún un bí aya.
29 Laban gave Bilhah, his servant, to his daughter Rachel to be her servant.
Labani sì fi Biliha ọmọ ọ̀dọ̀ rẹ̀ obìnrin fún Rakeli bí ìránṣẹ́.
30 He went in also to Rachel, and he loved also Rachel more than Leah, and served with him seven more years.
Jakọbu sì bá Rakeli náà lòpọ̀. Ó sì fẹ́ràn Rakeli ju Lea lọ, ó sì ṣiṣẹ́ sin Labani fún ọdún méje mìíràn.
31 The LORD saw that Leah was hated, and he opened her womb, but Rachel was barren.
Nígbà tí Olúwa sì ri pé, Jakọbu kò fẹ́ràn Lea, ó ṣí i ni inú ṣùgbọ́n Rakeli yàgàn.
32 Leah conceived, and bore a son, and she named him Reuben. For she said, “Because the LORD has looked at my affliction; for now my husband will love me.”
Lea sì lóyún, ó sì bí ọmọkùnrin kan, ó sì pe orúkọ rẹ̀ ní Reubeni, nítorí ó wí pé, “Nítorí Olúwa ti mọ ìpọ́njú mi, dájúdájú, ọkọ mi yóò fẹ́ràn mi báyìí.”
33 She conceived again, and bore a son, and said, “Because the LORD has heard that I am hated, he has therefore given me this son also.” She named him Simeon.
Ó sì tún lóyún, ó bí ọmọkùnrin kan. Ó sì pe orúkọ rẹ̀ ní Simeoni, wí pé, “Nítorí tí Olúwa ti gbọ́ pé a kò fẹ́ràn mi, ó sì fi èyí fún mi pẹ̀lú.”
34 She conceived again, and bore a son. She said, “Now this time my husband will be joined to me, because I have borne him three sons.” Therefore his name was called Levi.
Ó sì tún lóyún, ó bí ọmọkùnrin kan, ó sì wí pé, “Nígbà yìí ni ọkọ mi yóò fi ara mọ́ mi, nítorí tí mo ti bí ọmọkùnrin mẹ́ta fún un,” nítorí náà ni ó ṣe pe orúkọ rẹ̀ ní Lefi.
35 She conceived again, and bore a son. She said, “This time I will praise the LORD.” Therefore she named him Judah. Then she stopped bearing.
Ó sì tún lóyún, ó sì tún jẹ́ pé ọmọkùnrin ni ó bí, ó sì wí pé, “Nígbà yìí ni èmi yóò yin Olúwa.” Ó sì pe orúkọ rẹ̀ ní Juda. Ó sì dáwọ́ ọmọ bíbí dúró.
