Genesis 29
1 Then Jacob went on his journey, and came to the land of the children of the east.
Basa ma, Yakob lao nakandoo seriꞌ rulu neu.
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.
Faiꞌ esa, ana nita oe mataꞌ sa deka kamboꞌ esa. Hiek-lombo nononggoꞌ telu, nea-nea rae rinu sia naa. Te fatu monaeꞌ esa tatana oe mataꞌ a.
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.
Mia doo na, mete ma hiek-lombo basa se raꞌabꞌue, dei fo manatadꞌa ra oꞌo dinggoꞌ fatu a, fo hando oe fee se rinu. Basa fo, ara tatana baliꞌ oe mataꞌ a.
4 Jacob said to them, “My relatives, where are you from?” They said, “We are from Haran.”
Yakob natane manatadꞌa ra nae, “Hei ma bee ima?” Ara rataa rae, “Hai, mia kambo Haran ia.”
5 He said to them, “Do you know Laban, the son of Nahor?” They said, “We know him.”
Yakob natane seluꞌ nae, “Mihine toꞌo Labꞌan ngga, do? Eni, Nahor anan.” Ara rataa rae, “Hai mihine.”
6 He said to them, “Is it well with him?” They said, “It is well. See, Rachel, his daughter, is coming with the sheep.”
Ma Yakob natane fai nae, “Ana malolole, do?” Ara rataa rae, “Tou lasiꞌ a malolole. Sobꞌa mete dei. Naa, eni ana feto na, naran Rahel. Ana mboo nendi hiek-lombo nara rema rinu sia ia. De muhani e.”
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.”
Basa ma Yakob olaꞌ nae, “Oras ia, feꞌe rereloꞌ. Malole lenaꞌ banda bee raꞌabꞌue sia ia ena, naa, hei fee se rinu leo. Basa fo, mboo mendi se nembe reu, fo raa selu uru.”
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.”
Te ara rareresi rae, “We, nda taꞌo naa sa! Hai musi mihani manatadꞌa ra basa se mboo rendi banda ra raꞌabꞌue sia ia dei, fo hai feꞌe oꞌo dinggoꞌ fatu a, fo hani se.”
9 While he was yet speaking with them, Rachel came with her father’s sheep, for she kept them.
Yakob feꞌe ola-olaꞌ no atahori ra ma, Rahel losa no ama na hiek-lombo nara. Eni mana biasa mboo banda naa ra.
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.
Yakob nita Rahel ma hiek-lombo nara ma, ana neu oꞌo dinggoꞌ oe mataꞌ a tatana na. De hani toꞌo na banda nara.
11 Jacob kissed Rachel, and lifted up his voice, and wept.
Basa ma, ana neu holu-idu Rahel, ma nggae.
12 Jacob told Rachel that he was her father’s relative, and that he was Rebekah’s son. She ran and told her father.
Ana dui Rahel nae, “Odꞌi! Au ia, ho ama ma odꞌi na Ribka anan.” Boe ma, Rahel nela baliꞌ neu nafadꞌe ama na.
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.
Labꞌan rena Rahel dui soꞌal Yakob, eni odꞌi na Ribka anan ma, ana nelaꞌ neu soru e. Ara randaa ma, Labꞌan holu ma idu e. Basa ma, no Yakob ume neu, de Yakob dui basaꞌ e neu e.
14 Laban said to him, “Surely you are my bone and my flesh.” Jacob stayed with him for a month.
Ma Labꞌan olaꞌ nae, “Memaꞌ tebꞌe! Hita ruꞌa nggita bobꞌonggiꞌ!” Yakob leo no se losa fula esa ena ma,
15 Laban said to Jacob, “Because you are my relative, should you therefore serve me for nothing? Tell me, what will your wages be?”
Labꞌan olaꞌ no e nae, “Taꞌo ia, Ako! Au nda nau ho tao ues mudꞌaꞌ sa, huu ruꞌa nggita bobꞌonggiꞌ. Ho moꞌe nggadiꞌ baꞌu sa?”
16 Laban had two daughters. The name of the elder was Leah, and the name of the younger was Rachel.
Labꞌan ana feton rua. Aꞌa ka, naran Lea, ma odꞌi ka, naran Rahel.
17 Leah’s eyes were weak, but Rachel was beautiful in form and attractive.
Lea, akaꞌ mata deke na fo maloleꞌ, te Rahel meulau na seli.
18 Jacob loved Rachel. He said, “I will serve you seven years for Rachel, your younger daughter.”
Yakob sue Rahel, de nataa Labꞌan nae, “Au tao ues fee toꞌo too hitu, sadꞌi toꞌo fee au sao ala Rahel.”
19 Laban said, “It is better that I give her to you, than that I should give her to another man. Stay with me.”
Ma Labꞌan nataa nae, “Au nau! Malole lenaꞌ au fee ne sao nggo, fo au bobꞌonggi ngga. Naa fo, atahori feaꞌ afiꞌ sao rala e. De leo siaꞌ a ia, fo tao ues fee au.”
20 Jacob served seven years for Rachel. They seemed to him but a few days, for the love he had for her.
Boe ma Yakob tao ues too hitu, fo bisa sao Rahel. Huu ana sue Rahel seli, naa de, too hitu naa ra, ana medꞌa onaꞌ fai hiraꞌ a.
21 Jacob said to Laban, “Give me my wife, for my days are fulfilled, that I may go in to her.”
Basa too hitu naa ra ma, Yakob fee nesenenedꞌaꞌ neu Labꞌan nae, “Toꞌo! Au tao ues fee toꞌo too hitu ena. De fee au sao Rahel leo.”
22 Laban gathered together all the men of the place, and made a feast.
Boe ma, Labꞌan lemba-dꞌodꞌe se, de narolo basa atahori sia nusaꞌ naa.
23 In the evening, he took Leah his daughter, and brought her to Jacob. He went in to her.
Tetembaꞌ naa, Labꞌan nda fee Rahel sa, te ana fee Lea nisiꞌ Yakob lalaat na rala. De Yakob sungguꞌ no e. Mbila fefetu na ma, Yakob feꞌe bubꞌuluꞌ nae, eni sao Lea. De ana neu natane Labꞌan nae, “Saa de toꞌo eꞌedꞌik au? Au tao ues too hitu, fo ae sao Rahel! Taꞌo bee de nggati no Lea?” Ma Labꞌan nataa nae, “Afiꞌ mumunasa taꞌo naa! Tungga hai adat ma, odꞌiꞌ afiꞌ sao naꞌahuluꞌ aꞌaꞌ. Malole lenaꞌ taꞌo ia! Muhani lemba-dꞌodꞌeꞌ ia losa fai hitu basa dei. Basa fo, ho sao Rahel, sadꞌi ho tao ues fee au too hitu fai.” Boe ma Labꞌan fee ate ina na, naran Silpa, fo dadꞌi Lea ate na.
24 Laban gave Zilpah his servant to his daughter Leah for a servant.
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?”
26 Laban said, “It is not done so in our place, to give the younger before the firstborn.
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.”
28 Jacob did so, and fulfilled her week. He gave him Rachel his daughter as wife.
Yakob o nau boe. Naa de, fefeta fai kahituꞌ a basa ma, Labꞌan naꞌasasaoꞌ Rahel no Yakob.
29 Laban gave Bilhah, his servant, to his daughter Rachel to be her servant.
Labꞌan fee ate inaꞌ na esa fai, naran Bilha, fo dadꞌi Rahel ate na.
30 He went in also to Rachel, and he loved also Rachel more than Leah, and served with him seven more years.
Basa ma, Yakob sungguꞌ no Rahel. Ana sue Rahel lenaꞌ Lea, de tao ues seluꞌ too hitu fee ama ari na.
31 Yahweh saw that Leah was hated, and he opened her womb, but Rachel was barren.
LAMATUALAIN nahine Yakob sue Rahel lenaꞌ Lea. De Ana fee Lea bꞌonggi, te Rahel nda bꞌonggi sa.
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.”
Lea nairu, de bꞌonggi ana touꞌ esa. Ana nae, “LAMATUALAIN memaꞌ nita au sususa ngga. Ia naa, sao ngga nau mete-seꞌu au, huu anaꞌ ia.” Naa de, ana babꞌae anaꞌ a, Ruben (lii na, naeꞌ a onaꞌ dedꞌeat esa fo sosoa na, ‘ana nita au sususa ngga ena’).
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.
Basa ma, Lea nairu seluꞌ, de bꞌonggi ana touꞌ esa fai. Ana nae, “LAMATUALAIN rena au sao ngga nda tao mataꞌ neu au sa. Naa de, Ana fee au anaꞌ esa fai.” Naa de, ana babꞌae anaꞌ naa, Simeon (sosoa na ‘atahori rena ena’).
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.
Basa ma, Lea nairu seluꞌ, de bꞌonggi ana touꞌ esa fai. Ana nae, “No anaꞌ ia, au dedꞌeat ngga basa ena. Au sao ngga musi nenepaꞌaꞌ no au, huu au bꞌonggi fee ne ana touꞌ telu ena.” Naa de, ana babꞌae anaꞌ naa, Lewi (sosoa na ‘nenepaꞌaꞌ’).
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.
Basa ma, Lea nairu fai, de bꞌonggi ana touꞌ esa. Ana nae, “Oeꞌ ia, au ae koa-kio LAMATUALAIN!” Naa de, ana babꞌae anaꞌ naa, Yahuda (sosoa na mbei ma ‘koa-kio’). Basa naa ma, Lea nda bꞌonggi sa ena.
