< Genesis 30 >

1 And Rachel seeth that she hath not borne to Jacob, and Rachel is envious of her sister, and saith unto Jacob, 'Give me sons, and if there is none — I die.'
Raahel yommuu akka Yaaqoobiif ijoollee tokko iyyuu hin daʼin argitetti obboleettii isheetti hinaafte. Yaaqoobiinis, “Ijoollee naa kenni, yoo kanaa achii nan duʼa!” jette.
2 And Jacob's anger burneth against Rachel, and he saith, 'Am I in stead of God who hath withheld from thee the fruit of the womb?'
Yaaqoobis isheetti aaree, “Anatu iddoo Waaqa isa ijoollee si dhowwate sanaa jira moo?” jedheen.
3 And she saith, 'Lo, my handmaid Bilhah, go in unto her, and she doth bear on my knees, and I am built up, even I, from her;'
Isheenis, “Xomboreen koo Bilihaan kunoo ti; akka isheen qooda koo ijoollee naaf deessee anis karaa isheetiin ijoollee argadhuuf dhaqii ishee bira gaʼi” jette.
4 and she giveth to him Bilhah her maid-servant for a wife, and Jacob goeth in unto her;
Isheenis xomboree ishee Bilihaa akka niitii isaa taatuuf kenniteef. Yaaqoobis ishee bira gaʼe;
5 and Bilhah conceiveth, and beareth to Jacob a son,
isheenis ulfooftee ilma isaaf deesse.
6 and Rachel saith, 'God hath decided for me, and also hath hearkened to my voice, and giveth to me a son;' therefore hath she called his name Dan.
Kana irratti Raahel, “Waaqni naa murteesseera; kadhannaa koos dhagaʼee ilma naa kenneera” jette. Kanaafuu maqaa isaa Daan jettee moggaafte.
7 And Bilhah, Rachel's maid-servant, conceiveth again, and beareth a second son to Jacob,
Xomboreen Raahel Bilihaan ammas ulfooftee Yaaqoobiif ilma lammaffaa deesse.
8 and Rachel saith, 'With wrestlings of God I have wrestled with my sister, yea, I have prevailed;' and she calleth his name Napthali.
Raahelis, “Ani obboleettii koo walʼaansoo guddaa qabee moʼadheera” jette. Maqaa isaa Niftaalem jettee moggaafte.
9 And Leah seeth that she hath ceased from bearing, and she taketh Zilpah her maid-servant, and giveth her to Jacob for a wife;
Liyaan akka ijoollee daʼuu dhiifte hubatte; xomboree ishee Zilfaa fuutee akka niitii isaa taatuuf Yaaqoobiif kennite.
10 and Zilpah, Leah's maid-servant, beareth to Jacob a son,
Xomboreen Liyaa Zilfaanis Yaaqoobiif ilma deesse.
11 and Leah saith, 'A troop is coming;' and she calleth his name Gad.
Liyaan immoo, “Maal milkiin akkanaa!” jettee maqaa isaa Gaad jettee moggaafte.
12 And Zilpah, Leah's maid-servant, beareth a second son to Jacob,
Xomboreen Liyaa Zilfaan Yaaqoobiif ilma lammaffaa deesse.
13 and Leah saith, 'Because of my happiness, for daughters have pronounced me happy;' and she calleth his name Asher.
Ergasiis Liyaan, “Ani akkaman gammade! Dubartoonnis, ‘Eebbifamtuu’ naan jedhu” jette. Kanaafuu maqaa isaa Aasheer jettee moggaafte.
14 And Reuben goeth in the days of wheat-harvest, and findeth love-apples in the field, and bringeth them in unto Leah, his mother, and Rachel saith unto Leah, 'Give to me, I pray thee, of the love-apples of thy son.'
Yeroo haamaa qamadiitti Ruubeen gara bakkeetti baʼee ija hudhaa argatee haadha isaa Liyaadhaaf fide. Raahelis Liyaadhaan, “Maaloo ija hudhaa ilma keetii irraa waa naa kenni” jette.
15 And she saith to her, 'Is thy taking my husband a little thing, that thou hast taken also the love-apples of my son?' and Rachel saith, 'Therefore doth he lie with thee to-night, for thy son's love-apples.'
Liyaan immoo, “Dhirsa koo narraa fudhachuun kee sitti xinnaatee? Hudhaa ilma koos ni fudhattaa?” jetteen. Raahelis, “Qooda hudhaa ilma keetii inni edana si wajjin haa bulu” jetteen.
16 And Jacob cometh in from the field at evening; and Leah goeth to meet him, and saith, 'Unto me dost thou come in, for hiring I have hired thee with my son's love-apples;' and he lieth with her during that night.
Gaafa sana galgala yeroo Yaaqoob lafa qotiisaatii galetti Liyaan isa simachuuf gad baatee, “Waan ani hudhaa ilma kootiin si kireeffadheef ati harʼa na wajjin bulu qabda” jetteen. Yaaqoobis halkan sana ishee wajjin bule.
17 And God hearkeneth unto Leah, and she conceiveth, and beareth to Jacob a son, a fifth,
Waaqnis Liyaa dhagaʼe; isheenis ulfooftee Yaaqoobiif ilma shanaffaa deesse.
18 and Leah saith, 'God hath given my hire, because I have given my maid-servant to my husband;' and she calleth his name Issachar.
Liyaanis, “Waan ani xomboree koo dhirsa kootiif kenneef Waaqni gatii koo naa baaseera” jette. Kanaafuu Yisaakor jettee isa moggaafte.
19 And conceive again doth Leah, and she beareth a sixth son to Jacob,
Liyaan ammas ulfooftee Yaaqoobiif ilma jaʼaffaa deesse.
20 and Leah saith, 'God hath endowed me — a good dowry; this time doth my husband dwell with me, for I have borne to him six sons;' and she calleth his name Zebulun;
Liyaanis, “Waaqni kennaa gaarii naaf kenneera; sababii ani ilmaan jaʼa isaaf daʼeef dhirsi koo siʼachi ulfina naa kenna” jette. Kanaafuu maqaa isaa Zebuuloon jettee moggaafte.
21 and afterwards hath she born a daughter, and calleth her name Dinah.
Ergasiis intala tokko deessee Diinaa jettee moggaafte.
22 And God remembereth Rachel, and God hearkeneth unto her, and openeth her womb,
Waaqnis Raahelin yaadate; kadhannaa ishees dhagaʼee gadameessa ishee baneef.
23 and she conceiveth and beareth a son, and saith, 'God hath gathered up my reproach;'
Isheenis ulfooftee ilma deessee, “Waaqni qaanii koo narraa fuudheera” jette.
24 and she calleth his name Joseph, saying, 'Jehovah is adding to me another son.'
Isheenis maqaa isaa Yoosef jettee moggaaftee, “Waaqayyo ilma biraa naaf haa dabalu” jette.
25 And it cometh to pass, when Rachel hath borne Joseph, that Jacob saith unto Laban, 'Send me away, and I go unto my place, and to my land;
Erga Raahel Yoosefin deessee booddee Yaaqoob Laabaadhaan akkana jedhe; “Akka ani biyya dhalootaa kootti deebiʼuuf, gad na dhiisi.
26 give up my wives and my children, for whom I have served thee, and I go; for thou — thou hast known my service which I have served thee.'
Ani nan deemaatii niitota koo fi ijoollee koo warra ani isaaniif jedhee siif tajaajile naa kenni. Akka ani hojii baayʼee siif hojjedhe ati iyyuu beekta.”
27 And Laban saith unto him, 'If, I pray thee, I have found grace in thine eyes — I have observed diligently that Jehovah doth bless me for thy sake.'
Laabaan garuu akkana jedheen; “Maaloo yoo ani fuula kee duratti fudhatama argadhee jiraadhe asuma turi; ani akka Waaqayyo sababii keetiin na eebbise mulʼataan beekeeraatii.”
28 He saith also, 'Define thy hire to me, and I give.'
Itti fufees, “Mee mindaa ani siif kaffaluu qabu natti himi; ani siifin kaffalaatii” jedhe.
29 And he saith unto him, 'Thou — thou hast known that which I have served thee [in], and that which thy substance was with me;
Yaaqoobis akkana jedheen; “Akka ani hammam siif hojjedhe, horiin kees hammam akka harka kootti baayʼate atuu ni beekta.
30 for [it is] little which thou hast had at my appearance, and it breaketh forth into a multitude, and Jehovah blesseth thee at my coming; and now, when do I make, I also, for mine own house?'
Wanni xinnaan ati utuu ani hin dhufin dura qabdu sun amma akka malee siif baayʼateera; lafa ani ture kamitti iyyuu Waaqayyo si eebbiseera. Garuu yeroon ani itti maatii kootiif yaadu yoomi ree?”
31 And he saith, 'What do I give to thee?' And Jacob saith, 'Thou dost not give me anything; if thou do for me this thing, I turn back; I have delight; thy flock I watch;
Innis, “Wanni ani siif kennu maali ree?” jedhee gaafate. Yaaqoob immoo akkana jedhee deebise; “Homaa naaf hin kennin; garuu yoo ati waan kana naaf goote ani ittuma fufee bushaayee kee nan tiksa; nan eegas;
32 I pass through all thy flock to-day to turn aside from thence every sheep speckled and spotted, and every brown sheep among the lambs, and speckled and spotted among the goats — and it hath been my hire;
ani harʼa bushaayee kee hunda keessa baʼee hoolota cocorree fi buburree hunda, hoolaa magaalaa fi reʼoota cocorree yookaan buburree hunda addaan nan baasa; isaan kunneen mindaa koo taʼu.
33 and my righteousness hath answered for me in the day to come, when it cometh in for my hire before thy face; — every one which is not speckled and spotted among [my] goats, and brown among [my] lambs — it is stolen with me.'
Yeroo ati mindaa naa kennite sana toʼachuu dhuftutti, amanamummaan koo dhugaa naa baʼa. Hoolotaa fi reʼoota koo keessatti reʼeen cocorree yookaan buburree hin taʼin kam iyyuu, hoolaa keessaa immoo kan gurraacha hin taʼin kam iyyuu yoo argame akka waan hatameetti haa ilaalamu.”
34 And Laban saith, 'Lo, O that it were according to thy word;'
Laabaanis, “Tole, akkuma ati jette haa taʼu” jedhe.
35 and he turneth aside during that day the ring-streaked and the spotted he-goats, and all the speckled and the spotted she-goats, every one that [hath] white in it, and every brown one among the lambs, and he giveth into the hand of his sons,
Guyyuma sana Laabaan korbeeyyii reʼee halluu qaxxaamuroo qabanii fi buburree hunda, goromii reʼee cocorree fi buburree kanneen adaadii qaban hunda, akkasumas hoolota gugurraacha hunda fuudhee ilmaan isaatti kenne.
36 and setteth a journey of three days between himself and Jacob; and Jacob is feeding the rest of the flock of Laban.
Innis ofii isaatii fi Yaaqoob gidduutti lafa adeemsa guyyaa sadii hambise; Yaaqoob immoo bushaayee Laabaa kanneen hafan tiksuu itti fufe.
37 And Jacob taketh to himself a rod of fresh poplar, and of the hazel and chesnut, and doth peel in them white peelings, making bare the white that [is] on the rods,
Yaaqoobis damee alaltuu, kan looziitii fi hadheessa jiidhaa isaa darbee darbee naannessee qoola isaa irraa quncisuudhaan dhagna mukichaa isa keessaa adii sana mulʼise.
38 and setteth up the rods which he hath peeled in the gutters in the watering troughs (when the flock cometh in to drink), over-against the flock, that they may conceive in their coming in to drink;
Yaaqoobis yeroo bushaayeen sun bishaan dhuguuf dhufanitti damee qolli irraa quncifame sana fuula isaanii dura bidiruu bishaan itti obaasan keessa kaaʼe. Bushaayeen yeroo sun bishaan dhuguu dhufanitti gojomaʼanii
39 and the flocks conceive at the rods, and the flock beareth ring-streaked, speckled, and spotted ones.
ulee sana duratti wal hobobsu turan; isaanis ilmoolee halluu qaxxaamuroo qaban, cocorree fi buburree dhalan.
40 And the lambs hath Jacob parted, and he putteth the face of the flock towards the ring-streaked, also all the brown in the flock of Laban, and he setteth his own droves by themselves, and hath not set them near Laban's flock.
Yaaqoobis ilmoolee bushaayee kophaatti baase; bushaayee Laabaa kanneen hafan garuu warra halluu qaxxaamuroo qabanii fi gurraacha dura dhaabe. Akkasitti hoolota isaa addaan baase malee bushaayee Laabaatti hin makne.
41 And it hath come to pass whenever the strong ones of the flock conceive, that Jacob set the rods before the eyes of the flock in the gutters, to cause them to conceive by the rods,
Yeroo dhaltuuwwan jajjaboon gojomaʼan kam iyyuu, Yaaqoob akka isaan ulee sana biratti wal hobobsaniif jedhee ulee sana fuula isaanii dura bidiruu keessa kaaʼaa ture;
42 and when the flock is feeble, he doth not set [them]; and the feeble ones have been Laban's, and the strong ones Jacob's.
dhaltuuwwan dadhaboo dura garuu ulee sana hin keenye. Kanaafuu warri dadhaboon kan Laabaa, warri jajjaboon immoo kan Yaaqoob taʼan.
43 And the man increaseth very exceedingly, and hath many flocks, and maid-servants, and men-servants, and camels, and asses.
Namichi kun haala kanaan akka malee soorome; innis bushaayee baayʼee, garboota dubartootaatii fi dhiirotaa, gaalawwanii fi harroota qaba ture.
