Genesis 29
1 Then Jacob went on his journey, and came to the land of the children of the east.
Na ka turia atu e Hakopa, ka haere ki te whenua o nga tangata o te rawhiti.
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.
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 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.
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 relatives, where are you from?” They said, “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, the 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 it well with him?” They said, “It is well. See, 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 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.”
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 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.”
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 he was yet speaking with them, Rachel came with her father’s sheep, for she kept 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 went near, and 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 lifted up his voice, and wept.
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. 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 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.
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, “Surely you are my bone and my flesh.” Jacob stayed with him for a 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 Laban said to Jacob, “Because you are my relative, should you therefore serve me for nothing? 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 Laban had two daughters. The name of the elder 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 weak, but Rachel was beautiful in form and attractive.
He papahewa nga kanohi o Rea; he mea ahuareka ia a Rahera, he ataahua hoki ki te titiro atu.
18 Jacob loved Rachel. 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 Jacob served seven years for Rachel. They seemed to him but 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 Jacob said to Laban, “Give me my wife, for my days are fulfilled, that I may go in to 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 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, he took Leah his daughter, and brought her to Jacob. He went in to 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 Zilpah his servant to his daughter Leah for a 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! 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?”
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 done so in our place, to give the younger 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 Fulfill 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.”
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 fulfilled her week. He gave him Rachel his daughter as wife.
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 gave Bilhah, his servant, 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 He went in also to Rachel, and he loved also Rachel more than Leah, and served with him 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 The LORD saw that Leah was hated, and he opened her womb, but Rachel was barren.
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 named him Reuben. For she said, “Because the LORD has looked at my affliction; for 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 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.
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 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.
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 the LORD.” Therefore she named him Judah. Then she stopped bearing.
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.
