Genesis 29
1 Then Jacob went on his journey, and came to the land of the children of the east.
Niongake am-pandia amy zao t’Iakòbe nimb’ an-tane’ o anan-tatiñanañeo.
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.
Tinalake’e te heheke ty vovoñe an-kivoke ey aman’ añondry telo troke mandre marine aze, amy te fampinomañe o mpirai-liao i vovoñey; le vato jabajaba ty nikapeke i vovoñey.
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.
Ie hene vory o mpirai-liao le adariso’ o mpiarakeo i vato fikape’ i vovoñeiy, vaho ampinomeñe o añondrio; heneke izay vaho ampolie’ iareo am-bava’ i vovoñey i vatoy.
4 Jacob said to them, “My relatives, where are you from?” They said, “We are from Haran.”
Hoe t’Iakòbe am’iereo, O rahalahikoo, boak’ aia nahareo? Hoe iereo, Hirik’e Kharane añe.
5 He said to them, “Do you know Laban, the son of Nahor?” They said, “We know him.”
Hoe re tam’ iereo, Fohi’ areo hao t’i Labàne ana’ i Nakore? Hoe iereo, Eka apota’ay.
6 He said to them, “Is it well with him?” They said, “It is well. See, Rachel, his daughter, is coming with the sheep.”
Hoe re tam’iereo, Jangam-bao? Janga, hoe iereo, le ingo t’i Rahkele, anak’ ampela’e minday o añondrio.
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.”
Hoe re, Hehe, mbe tsingilingilieñe ty àndro, tsy fanontoñañe añondry hey henaneo. Ampinomo o añondrio vaho akia andrazo.
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.”
Fa hoe ka iereo, Tsy mete zahay naho tsy fa vory iaby o mpirai-liao naho avarimbari’ iareo boak’ am-bava’ o vovoñeo o vatoo; izay vaho ampinome’ay o añondrio.
9 While he was yet speaking with them, Rachel came with her father’s sheep, for she kept them.
Ie mbe nifanaontsy, pok’ eo t’i Rahkele ninday o añondrin-drae’eo, amy t’ie mpiarake.
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.
Ie nahaoniñe i Rahkele, ana’ i Labàne renelahi’e, naho o añondri’ i Labàne renelahi’eo t’Iakòbe le niharinea’e naho navari’e boak’ am-bava’ i vovoñey i vatoy vaho nampinome’e i lia-rai’ i Labàne renelahi’eoy.
11 Jacob kissed Rachel, and lifted up his voice, and wept.
Le norofa’ Iakòbe t’i Rahkele vaho nipoña-peo an-drovetse,
12 Jacob told Rachel that he was her father’s relative, and that he was Rebekah’s son. She ran and told her father.
naho nitoñone’ Iakòbe amy Rahkele t’ie longon-drae’e naho ana’ i Ribkae; le nilay re hitalily aman-drae’e.
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.
Ie jinanji’ i Labàne ty talili’ Iakòbe ana-drahavave’e, le nihitrihitry hifañaoñe ama’e; finorokoko’e naho norofa’e vaho nendese’e mb’ añ’ anjomba’e ao vaho hene natalili’e amy Labàne i nifetsake rezay,
14 Laban said to him, “Surely you are my bone and my flesh.” Jacob stayed with him for a month.
le hoe t’i Labàne ama’e, Toe taolako naho nofoko irehe! Aa le niambesara’e volañe raike.
15 Laban said to Jacob, “Because you are my relative, should you therefore serve me for nothing? Tell me, what will your wages be?”
Le hoe t’i Labàne am’ Iakòbe, Aa ndra t’ie longoko, hifanehake ho ahy tsy aman-tambe hao? Volaño arè, ino ty ho tambe’o.
16 Laban had two daughters. The name of the elder was Leah, and the name of the younger was Rachel.
Ie amy zao, roe ty anak’ ampela’ i Labàne; Leae ty añara’ ty zoke’e naho i Rahkele ty añaran-jai’e.
17 Leah’s eyes were weak, but Rachel was beautiful in form and attractive.
Naleme ty maso’ i Leae, le nimontramontra naho soa vintañe t’i Rahkele.
18 Jacob loved Rachel. He said, “I will serve you seven years for Rachel, your younger daughter.”
Nikokoa’ Iakòbe t’i Rahkele, le hoe re, Ho toroñeko fito taon-drehe ho a i Rahkele, anak’ ampela’o zai’e.
19 Laban said, “It is better that I give her to you, than that I should give her to another man. Stay with me.”
Hoe t’i Labàne, Hamake hatoloko azo ta te hatoloko amy ze ondaty ila’e; mimoneña amako.
20 Jacob served seven years for Rachel. They seemed to him but a few days, for the love he had for her.
Aa le nitoroñe fito taoñe t’Iakòbe hahazoa’e i Rahkele, le nihoe andro tsy ampe-ampe am-pihaino’eo ty amy fikokoa’e azey.
21 Jacob said to Laban, “Give me my wife, for my days are fulfilled, that I may go in to her.”
Le hoe t’Iakòbe amy Labàne, Atoloro ahy i valikoy hiharoako fa heneke o androkoo.
22 Laban gathered together all the men of the place, and made a feast.
Aa le natonto’ i Labàne ze hene ondati’ i tanañey vaho nañalankañe takataka.
23 In the evening, he took Leah his daughter, and brought her to Jacob. He went in to her.
Ie hariva i àndroy le nasese’ i Labàne am’Iakòbe t’i Leae vaho niolore’e.
24 Laban gave Zilpah his servant to his daughter Leah for a servant.
Le natolo’ i Labàne amy Leae ty mpitoro-ampela’e Zilpae ho mpiatrak’ aze.
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?”
Aa ie nanjirike ty hamaray, hehe te i Leae! le hoe t’Iakòbe amy Labàne: Ino o nanoe’o amakoo? Tsy i Rahkele hao ty nitoroñako azo? Akore arè ty namitaha’o ahy?
26 Laban said, “It is not done so in our place, to give the younger before the firstborn.
Hoe t’i Labàne, Tsy sata an-tane atoy ty anolorañe ty zai’e aolo’ ty tañoloñoloñan-ampela’e.
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.”
Foniro i hafitoa’ey, le hatolo’ay azo ka i raikey, ho ami’ty fito taoñe tovo’e hitoroña’o ahy.
28 Jacob did so, and fulfilled her week. He gave him Rachel his daughter as wife.
Aa le nanoe’ Iakòbe. Nihenefe’e i hereñandroy, vaho natolo’e aze ty anak’ampela’e Rahkele ho vali’e.
29 Laban gave Bilhah, his servant, to his daughter Rachel to be her servant.
Natolo’ i Labàne amy Rahkele ana’e t’i Bilhae mpiatra’ey ho mpiatrak’ aze.
30 He went in also to Rachel, and he loved also Rachel more than Leah, and served with him seven more years.
Niolotse amy Rahkele ka t’Iakòbe le ie ty nikokoa’e te amy Leae, vaho nitoroñe i Labàne fito taoñe indraike.
31 Yahweh saw that Leah was hated, and he opened her womb, but Rachel was barren.
Ie nivazoho’ Iehovà te tsy nikokoañe t’i Leae, le sinoka’e ty trañon’ ana’e, fe betsiterake t’i Rahkele.
32 Leah conceived, and bore a son, and she named him Reuben. For she said, “Because Yahweh has looked at my affliction; for now my husband will love me.”
Niareñe t’i Leae vaho nahatoly ana-dahy. Natao’e Reòbene ty añara’e fa hoe ty asa’e, amy te nivazoho’ Iehovà ty haferenaiñako. Aa le hikoko ahy ty valiko henanekeo.
33 She conceived again, and bore a son, and said, “Because Yahweh has heard that I am hated, he has therefore given me this son also.” She named him Simeon.
Niareñe indraike re nisamak’ ana-dahy, vaho hoe re, Jinanji’ Iehovà t’ie firihia’e le nomei’e itoañe ka, le natao’e Simòne ty añara’e.
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.
Mbe niareñe indraike re, nahatoly ana-dahy, le hoe ty asa’e, Sandrake henane zao te hipiteham-baliko, izaho nisamake telo ho aze. Aa le natao’e Levy ty añara’e.
35 She conceived again, and bore a son. She said, “This time I will praise Yahweh.” Therefore she named him Judah. Then she stopped bearing.
Mbe niareñe indraike re, le nisamak’ ana-dahy vaho nanao ty hoe, Handrenge Iehovà Iraho henane zao. Le natao’e Iehodà ty añara’e vaho nitampets’ anake.
