< Genesis 30 >
1 Forsothe Rachel seiy, that sche was vnfruytful, and hadde enuye to the sister, and seide to hir hosebonde, Yyue thou fre children to me, ellis Y schal die.
Raheli alipoona kwamba hamzalii Yakobo watoto, Raheli akamwonea wivu dada yake. Akamwambia Yakobo, “Nipe watoto, sivyo nitakufa.”
2 To whom Jacob was wrooth, and answerde, Wher Y am for God, which haue priued thee fro the fruyt of thi wombe?
Hasira ya Yakobo ikawaka juu ya Raheli. Akasema, “Mimi ni badala ya Mungu, aliyekuzuilia usipate watoto?
3 And sche seide, Y haue `a seruauntesse Bala, entre thou to hir that she childe on my knees, and that Y haue sones of hir.
Akasema, “Tazama, kuna mjakazi wangu Bilha. Lala naye, hivyo aweze kuzaa watoto magotini pangu, nami nitapata watoto kwake.
4 And sche yaf to hym Bala in to matrimony;
Hivyo akampa Bilha mjakazi kama mke wake, na Yakobo akalala naye.
5 and whanne the hosebonde hadde entrid to hir, sche conseyuede, and childide a sone.
Bilha akashika mimba na kumzalia Yakobo mwana.
6 And Rachel seide, the Lord demede to me, and herde my preier, and yaf a sone to me; and therfor sche clepide his name Dan.
Kisha Raheli akasema, “Mungu ameamua kwa faida yangu. Ameyasikiliza maombi yangu na kunipa mwana.” Kwa sababu hiyo akamwita jina lake Dani

Lea akasema, “Nina furaha! Kwa maana mabinti wataniita furaha.” Hivyo akamwita jina lake Asheri.
14 Forsothe Ruben yede out in to the feeld in the tyme of wheete heruest, and foond mandragis, whiche he brouyte to Lya, his modir. And Rachel seide, Yyue thou to me a part of the mandragis of thi sone.
Siku za mavuno ya ngano Rubeni akaenda shambani na kuona tunguja. Akazileta kwa mama yake. Kisha Raheli akamwambia Lea, “Nipe baadhi ya tunguja za mwanao.”
15 Lya answeride, Whether it semeth litil to thee, that thou hast rauyschid the hosebonde fro me, no but thou take also the mandragis of my sone? Rachel seide, The hosebonde sleepe with thee in this nyyt for the mandragis of thi sone.
Lea akamwambia, “Je ni jambo dogo kwako, kumchukua mme wangu? Je na sasa unataka kuchukua tunguja za mwanangu pia? Raheli akasema, “Kisha atalala nawe leo usiku, kwa kubadilishana na tunguja za mwanao.
16 And whanne Jacob cam ayen fro the feeld at euentid, Lya yede out in to his comyng, and seide, Thou shalt entre to me, for Y haue hired thee with hire for the mandragis of my sone. He slepte with hir in that nyyt;
Jioni Yakobo akaja kutoka uwandani. Lea akaenda kumlaki na kusema, “Leo usiku utalala nami, kwani nimekuajiri kwa tunguja za mwanangu.” Hivyo Yakobo akalala na Lea usiku huo.

25 Sotheli whanne Joseph was borun, Jacob seide to his wyues fadir, Delyuere thou me, that Y turne ayen in to my cuntrey and to my lond.
Baada ya Raheli kumzaa Yusufu, Yakobo akamwambia Labani, “Niache niande, ili kwamba niende nyumbani kwetu na katika nchi yangu.
26 Yyue thou to me my wyues and fre children for whiche Y seruede thee, that Y go; forsothe thou knowist the seruyce bi which Y seruede thee.
Nipe wake zangu na watoto wangu niliokutumikia kwa ajili yao, na uniache niondoke, kwani unafahamu nilivyokutumikia.
27 Laban seide to hym, Fynde Y grace in thi siyt, Y haue lerned bi experience that God blesside me for thee;
Labani akamwambia, “Ikiwa nimepata kibali machoni pako, subiri, kwa sababu nimejifunza kwa kutumia uaguzi kwamba Yahwe amenibariki kwa ajili yako.”
28 ordeyne thou the meede which Y schal yyue to thee.
Kisha akasema, “Taja ujira wako, nami nitalipa.”
29 And he answeride, Thou woost hou Y seruede thee, and hou greet thi possessioun was in myn hondis;
Yakobo akamwambia, “Unajua nilivyokutumikia, na jinsi ambavyo mifugo wako wamekuwa nami.
30 thou haddist litil bifore that Y cam to thee, and now thou art maad riche, and the Lord blesside thee at myn entryng; therfor it is iust that Y purueye sum tyme also to myn hows.
Kwani walikuwa wachache kabla sijaja, na wameongezeka kwa wingi. Popote nilipokutumikia Mungu amekubariki. Je ni lini mimi nitaandaa kwa ajili ya nyumba yangu pia?”
31 And Laban seide, What schal Y yyue to thee? And Jacob seide, Y wole no thing but if thou doist that that Y axe, eft Y schal fede and kepe thi scheep.
Hivyo Labani akasema, “Je nikulipe nini? Yakobo akasema, 'Usinipe chochote. Ikiwa utafanya jambo hili kwa ajili yangu, nitawalisha tena kondoo wako na kuwatunza.
32 Cumpasse thou alle thi flockis, and departe thou alle diuerse scheep and of spottid flees, and what euer thing schal be dun, and spottid, and dyuerse, as wel in scheep as in geet, it schal be my mede.
Niache nipite kati ya kundi lako lote leo, kwa kuondoa kila kondoo mwenye milia na mabaka, na kila kondoo mweusi kati yao, na kati ya wenye mabaka na milia katika mbuzi. Hawa watakuwa ujira wangu.
33 And my riytfulnesse schal answere to me to morewe, whanne the tyme of couenaunt schal come bifor thee; and alle that ben not dyuerse and spottid and dunne, as well in sheep as in geet, schulen repreue me of thefte.
Uadilifu wangu utashuhudia kwa ajili yangu hapo baadaye, utakapokuja kuangalia ujira wangu. Kila ambaye hana milia na hana madoa miongoni mwa mbuzi, na mweusi kati ya kondoo, ikiwa wataonekana kwangu, watahesabiwa kuwa wameibwa.”
34 And Laban seide, Y haue acceptable that that thou axist.
Labani akasema, “Nakubali. Na iwe kama yalivyo maneno yako.”
35 And he departide in that dai the geet, and scheep, geet buckis, and rammes, dyuerse and spottid. Sothely he bitook al the flok of o coloure, that is, of white and of blak flees in the hond of hise sones;
Siku hiyo Labani akaondoa mabeberu yaliyokuwa na milia na madoa, na majike ya mbuzi yaliyokuwa na milia na madoa, kila aliyekuwa mweupe, na weusi wote katika mbuzi, akawakabidhi katika mikono ya wanaye.
36 and he settide the space of weie of thre daies bitwixe hise sones and the hosebonde of hise douytris, that fedde othere flockis` of hym.
Pia Labani akaweka safari ya siku tatu kati yake na Yakobo. Hivyo Yakobo akabaki kuchunga wale kondoo wa Labani waliosalia.
37 Therfor Jacob took greene yerdis of popeleris, and of almoundis, and of planes, and in parti dide awei the rynde of tho, and whanne the ryndis weren `drawun a wei, whitnesse apperide in these that weren maad bare; sothely tho that weren hoole dwelliden grene, and bi this maner the coloure was maad dyuerse.
Yakobo akachukua matawi mabichi yaliyokatwa ya mipopla, mlozi na mwaramoni mbichi akatoa maganda ili michilizi myeupe ionekane, na akaifanya sehemu nyeupe ya ndani ya mti iliyokuwa ndani ya fito ionekane.
38 And Jacob puttide tho yerdis in the trowis, where the watir was held out, that whanne the flockis schulden come to drynke, thei schulden haue the yerdis bifor the iyen, and schulden conseyue in the siyt of the yerdis.
Kisha akaziweka fito alizokuwa amezibambua mbele ya makundi ya kondoo, mbele ya mabirika yakunyweshea walipokuja kunywa maji. Wakashika mimba walipokuja kunywa maji.
39 And it was doon that in thilke heete of riding the sheep schulde biholde the yerdis, and that thei schulden brynge forth spotti beestis, and dyuerse, and bispreynt with dyuerse colour.
Wanyama wakapandana mbele ya fito; nao wakazaa watoto wenye milia, mabaka na wenye madoa.
40 And Jacob departide the floc, and puttide the yerdis in the trowis bifor the iyen of the rammys. Sotheli alle the white and blake weren Labans; sotheli the othere weren Jacobis; for the flockis weren departid bytwixe hem silf.
Yakobo akawatenga hawa wanakondoo, lakini akawafanya waliosalia kuelekea wanyama wenye milia na kondoo weusi wote katika kundi la Labani. Kisha akayatenga makundi yake mwenyewe pekee na hakuwaweka pamoja na wale wa Labani.
41 Therfor whanne the scheep weren ridun in the firste tyme, Jacob puttide the yerdis in the `trouyis of watir bifor the iyen of rammys and of scheep, that thei schulden conseyue in the siyt of tho yerdis.
Pindi kondoo wenye nguvu katika kundi walipopandana, Yakobo alilaza fito katika mabirika ya maji mbele ya macho ya kundi, ili kwamba washike mimba kati ya fito.
42 Forsothe whanne the late medlyng and the laste conseyuyng weren, Jacob puttide not tho yerdis; and tho that weren late, weren maad Labans, and tho that weren of the firste tyme weren Jacobis.
Lakini wakati waliodhaifu walipokuja, hakuweka fito mbele yao. Hivyo wanyama dhaifu wakawa wa Labani, na wenye nguvu wakawa wa Yakobo.
43 And he was maad ful riche, and hadde many flockis, handmaydis, and seruauntis, camels, and assis.
Mtu huyo akastawi sana. Akawa na kundi kubwa la kondoo, wajakazi na wajoli, ngamia na punda.
