Kĩambĩrĩria 30
1 Rĩrĩa Rakeli onire atĩ ndaraciarĩra Jakubu ciana-rĩ, akĩiguĩra mwarĩ wa nyina ũiru. Nĩ ũndũ ũcio akĩĩra Jakubu atĩrĩ, “He ciana kana ngue!”
And when Rahel saw that she bare Iaakob no children, Rahel enuied her sister, and said vnto Iaakob, Giue me children, or els I dye.
2 Jakubu akĩrakario nĩ Rakeli akĩmũũria atĩrĩ, “Kaarĩ niĩ ndĩ ithenya rĩa Ngai ũrĩa ũkũimĩte ciana?”
Then Iaakobs anger was kindled against Rahel, and he sayde, Am I in Gods steade, which hath withholden from thee the fruite of the wombe?
3 Rakeli akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Biliha ndungata yakwa ya mũirĩtu ĩrĩ haha; koma nayo nĩgeetha ĩnjiarĩre ciana, na niĩ ngĩe na nyũmba na ũndũ wayo.”
And she said, Behold my maide Bilhah, goe in to her, and she shall beare vpon my knees, and I shall haue children also by her.
4 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio akĩmũhe Biliha ndungata yake ya mũirĩtu ĩrĩ ta mũtumia wake. Jakubu agĩkoma nayo,
Then shee gaue him Bilhah her mayde to wife, and Iaakob went in to her.
5 nake Biliha akĩgĩa nda, akĩmũciarĩra kahĩĩ.
So Bilhah conceiued and bare Iaakob a sonne.
6 Rakeli akiuga atĩrĩ, “Ngai nĩandĩhĩria na nĩaiguĩte gũthaithana gwakwa, na nĩaheete kahĩĩ.” Na tondũ ũcio, agĩgatua Dani.
Then said Rahel, God hath giuen sentence on my side, and hath also heard my voyce, and hath giuen mee a sonne: therefore called shee his name, Dan.
7 Biliha ndungata ĩyo ya Rakeli ĩkĩgĩa nda ĩngĩ, na ĩgĩciarĩra Jakubu kahĩĩ ga keerĩ.
And Bilhah Rahels maide coceiued againe, and bare Iaakob the second sonne.
8 Nake Rakeli akiuga atĩrĩ, “Nĩ ngoretwo na kũgiana kũnene na mwarĩ wa maitũ, na nĩ hootanĩte.” Nĩ ũndũ ũcio agĩgatua Nafitali.
Then Rahel said, with excellent wrestlings haue I wrestled with my sister, and haue gotten the vpper hande: and shee called his name, Naphtali.
9 Na rĩrĩa Lea onire atĩ nĩarũgamĩte kũgĩa ciana-rĩ, akĩoya Zilipa ndungata yake ya mũirĩtu akĩmĩhe Jakubu ĩrĩ ta mũtumia wake.
And when Leah saw that she had left bearing, shee tooke Zilpah her mayde, and gaue her Iaakob to wife.
10 Nake Zilipa, ndungata ĩyo ya Lea, ĩgĩciarĩra Jakubu kahĩĩ.
And Zilpah Leahs mayde bare Iaakob a sonne.
11 Nake Lea akiuga atĩrĩ, “Hĩ, kaĩ ũyũ nĩ mũnyaka-ĩ!” Nĩ ũndũ ũcio agĩgatua Gadi.
Then sayd Leah, A companie commeth: and she called his name, Gad.
12 Zilipa ndungata ĩyo ya Lea ĩgĩciarĩra Jakubu kahĩĩ ga keerĩ.
Againe Zilpah Leahs mayde bare Iaakob another sonne.
13 Ningĩ Lea akiuga atĩrĩ, “Kaĩ ndĩ mũkenu-ĩ! Andũ-a-nja marĩnjĩtaga ‘mũkenu.’” Nĩ ũndũ ũcio agĩgatua Asheri.
Then sayde Leah, Ah, blessed am I, for the daughters will blesse me. and she called his name, Asher.
14 Na rĩrĩ, hĩndĩ ya kũgetha ngano-rĩ, Rubeni agĩthiĩ mũgũnda-inĩ na akĩona mĩmera ya mandarĩki, na akĩrehera nyina Lea. Nake Rakeli akĩĩra Lea atĩrĩ, “Ndagũthaitha he mandarĩki mamwe ma mũrũguo.”
Nowe Reuben went in the dayes of the wheateharuest, and founde mandrakes in the fielde and brought them vnto his mother Leah. Then sayde Rahel to Leah, Giue me, I pray thee, of thy sonnes mandrakes.
15 Nake Lea akĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Kaĩ arĩ ũndũ mũnini kũndunya mũthuuri wakwa? Rĩu ningĩ nĩũkuoya mandarĩki ma mũriũ wakwa o namo?” Rakeli akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “He mandarĩki ma mũrũguo, nake Jakubu akome nawe ũmũthĩ.”
But shee answered her, Is it a small matter for thee to take mine husband, except thou take my sonnes mandrakes also? Then sayde Rahel, Therefore he shall sleepe with thee this night for thy sonnes mandrakes.
16 Na rĩrĩa Jakubu ookire hwaĩ-inĩ oimĩte mũgũnda-rĩ, Lea agĩthiĩ kũmũtũnga. Akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “No nginya ũkome na niĩ, tondũ nĩngũgũrire na mandarĩki ma mũriũ wakwa.” Nĩ ũndũ ũcio agĩkoma nake ũtukũ ũcio.
And Iaakob came from the fielde in the euening, and Leah went out to meete him, and sayde, Come in to mee, for I haue bought and payed for thee with my sonnes mandrakes: and he slept with her that night.
17 Nake Ngai akĩigua mahooya ma Lea, nake akĩgĩa nda na agĩciarĩra Jakubu kahĩĩ ga gatano.
And God heard Leah and shee conceiued, and bare vnto Iaakob the fift sonne.
18 Ningĩ Lea akiuga atĩrĩ, “Ngai nĩaheete kĩheo nĩ ũndũ wa kũheana ndungata yakwa ya mũirĩtu kũrĩ mũthuuri wakwa.” Nĩ ũndũ ũcio agĩgatua Isakaru.
Then said Leah, God hath giuen me my reward, because I gaue my mayde to my husband, and she called his name Issachar.
19 Lea agĩcooka akĩgĩa nda ĩngĩ, na agĩciarĩra Jakubu, kahĩĩ ga gatandatũ.
After, Leah conceiued againe, and bare Iaakob the sixt sonne.
20 Ningĩ Lea akiuga atĩrĩ, “Ngai ekũhe kĩheo kĩa goro mũno. Rĩu mũthuuri wakwa nĩarĩheeaga gĩtĩĩo tondũ ndĩmũciarĩire ihĩĩ ithathatũ.” Nĩ ũndũ ũcio agĩgatua Zebuluni.
Then Leah said, God hath endued me with a good dowrie: nowe will mine husband dwell with me, because I haue borne him sixe sonnes: and she called his name Zebulun.
21 Thuutha ũcio agĩciara mũirĩtu na akĩmũtua Dina.
After that, shee bare a daughter, and shee called her name Dinah.
22 Thuutha ũcio Ngai akĩririkana Rakeli, akĩmũigua, na akĩhingũra nda yake.
And God remembred Rahel, and God heard her, and opened her wombe.
23 Nake akĩgĩa nda na agĩciara kahĩĩ, akiuga atĩrĩ, “Ngai nĩanjehereria thoni.”
So she conceiued and bare a sonne, and said, God hath taken away my rebuke.
24 Nake agĩgatua Jusufu, akiuga atĩrĩ, “Ngai arohe kahĩĩ kangĩ!”
And shee called his name Ioseph, saying, The Lord wil giue me yet another sonne.
25 Thuutha wa Rakeli gũciara Jusufu, Jakubu akĩĩra Labani atĩrĩ, “Ndekereria ndĩthiĩre, nĩguo njooke bũrũri witũ.
And assoone as Rahel had borne Ioseph, Iaakob said to Laban, Sende me away that I may go vnto my place and to my countrey.
26 Nengera atumia akwa na ciana ciakwa, arĩa ngũtungatĩire nĩ ũndũ wao, na niĩ ndĩthiĩre. Wee nĩũũĩ wĩra ũrĩa ngũrutĩire.”
Giue me my wiues and my children, for whom I haue serued thee, and let me go: for thou knowest what seruice I haue done thee.
27 No Labani akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Angĩkorwo nĩnjĩtĩkĩrĩkĩte maitho-inĩ maku-rĩ, ndagũthaitha ikaranga. Nĩmenyete na ũndũ wa ũragũri atĩ Jehova nĩandathimĩte nĩ ũndũ waku.”
To whom Laban answered, If I haue nowe found fauour in thy sight tarie: I haue perceiued that the Lord hath blessed me for thy sake.
28 Agĩthiĩ na mbere, akiuga atĩrĩ, “Njĩĩra mũcaara ũrĩa ũkwenda na nĩ ngũkũrĩha.”
Also he said, Appoynt vnto me thy wages, and I will giue it thee.
29 Jakubu akĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Wee nĩũũĩ ũrĩa ngũrutĩire wĩra na ũrĩa menyereire mahiũ maku nginya makaingĩha.
But he sayd vnto him, Thou knowest, what seruice I haue done thee, and in what taking thy cattell hath bene vnder me.
30 Kĩrĩa kĩnini warĩ nakĩo itaanoka nĩkĩingĩhĩte mũno, nake Jehova nĩakũrathimĩte kũrĩa guothe ngoretwo. No rĩrĩ, ngeekĩra nyũmba yakwa ũndũ rĩ?”
For the litle, that thou haddest before I came, is increased into a multitude: and the Lord hath blessed thee by my comming: but nowe when shall I trauell for mine owne house also?
31 Labani akĩmũũria atĩrĩ, “Ũkwenda ngũhe kĩ?” Jakubu akĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Ndũkahe kĩndũ o na kĩ. Korwo no ũnjĩkĩre ũndũ ũyũ ũmwe tu, no thiĩ na mbere na kũrĩithia ndũũru ciaku na gũcimenyerera:
Then he saide, What shall I giue thee? And Iaakob answered, Thou shalt giue mee nothing at all: if thou wilt doe this thing for mee, I will returne, feede, and keepe thy sheepe.
32 Naguo ũndũ ũcio nĩ ũyũ: Njĩtĩkĩria thiĩ ndũũru-inĩ ciaku ciothe ũmũthĩ, na njeherie thĩinĩ wacio ngʼondu iria ciothe irĩ maara kana irĩ marooro, na ndũrũme ciothe iria njirũ na mbũri ciothe iria irĩ maara na irĩ maroro. Icio nĩcio igũtuĩka mũcaara wakwa.
I wil passe through all thy flockes this day, and separate from them all the sheepe with litle spots and great spots, and al blacke lambes among the sheepe, and the great spotted, and litle spotted among the goates: and it shalbe my wages.
33 Naguo wĩhokeku wakwa nĩguo ũkaanjarĩrĩria thuutha-inĩ, rĩrĩa rĩothe ũngĩũka kuona mũcaara ũrĩa ũndĩhĩte. Mbũri o yothe ĩtarĩ maara kana maroro, kana ndũrũme o yothe ĩtarĩ njirũ, ingĩgaakorwo nacio, igaatuĩka nĩ cia ũici.”
So shall my righteousnesse answere for me hereafter, when it shall come for my rewarde before thy face, and euery one that hath not litle or great spots among the goates, and blacke among the sheepe, the same shalbe theft with me.
34 Nake Labani akiuga atĩrĩ, “Nĩndetĩkĩra; reke gũtuĩke o ro ũguo woiga.”
Then Laban sayde, Goe to, woulde God it might be according to thy saying.
35 Mũthenya o ro ũcio-rĩ, Labani akĩeheria thenge ciothe iria ciarĩ maara na iria ciarĩ na maroro, na mĩgoma yothe ĩrĩa yarĩ maara na ĩrĩa yarĩ na marooro (iria ciothe ciarĩ na handũ herũ), na ndũrũme ciothe iria ciarĩ njirũ agĩcineana kũrĩ ariũ ake macirĩithagie.
Therefore he tooke out the same day the hee goates that were partie coloured and with great spots, and all the shee goates with litle and great spots, and all that had white in them, and all the blacke among the sheepe, and put them in the keeping of his sonnes.
36 Ningĩ agĩcieheranĩria na iria ingĩ na ũraihu wa rũgendo rwa mĩthenya ĩtatũ gatagatĩ gake na Jakubu. Nake Jakubu agĩthiĩ na mbere kũrĩithia ndũũru iria ingĩ cia Labani ciatigarire.
And hee set three dayes iourney betweene himselfe and Iaakob. And Iaakob kept the rest of Labans sheepe.
37 No rĩrĩ, Jakubu agĩtema thanju njigũ cia mũribina, na mũrothi, na cia mũarimaũ, agĩciĩkĩra mĩcoora mĩerũ na ũndũ wa kũnũra igoko agatũma werũ wa thĩinĩ wa thanju icio wonekane.
Then Iaakob tooke rods of greene popular, and of hasell, and of the chesnut tree, and pilled white strakes in them, and made the white appeare in the rods.
38 Agĩcooka akĩiga thanju icio oonũrĩte mĩtaro-inĩ yothe ĩrĩa yanyuuagĩrwo maaĩ, nĩgeetha ikoragwo irĩ mbere ya mbũri rĩrĩa cioka kũnyua maaĩ. Rĩrĩa ndũũru icio ciakorwo irĩ na mũrukĩ na cioka kũnyua maaĩ-rĩ,
Then he put the rods, which he had pilled, in the gutters and watering troughes, when the sheepe came to drink, before the sheepe. (for they were in heate, when they came to drinke)
39 igakĩhaicanĩra hau mbere ya thanju icio. Thuutha ũcio igaciara tũũri tũrĩ na manyaga, kana maara, kana marooro.
And the sheepe were in heate before the rods, and afterward brought forth yong of partie colour, and with small and great spots.
40 Jakubu akĩamũrania tũũri tũu kuuma rũũru-inĩ rwa Labani, na tũgetindia, no agatũma icio ingĩ ingʼethere iria ciarĩ na maroro na iria njirũ cia Labani. Nĩ ũndũ ũcio agĩĩthondekera ndũũru ciake mwene, na ndaacituranĩrire na cia Labani.
And Iaakob parted these lambes, and turned the faces of the flocke towardes these lambes partie coloured and all maner of blacke, among the sheepe of Laban: so hee put his owne flockes by themselues, and put them not with Labans flocke.
41 Hĩndĩ ĩrĩa yothe mbũri iria ciarĩ na hinya ciagĩa na mũrukĩ-rĩ, Jakubu aigaga thanju icio mĩtaro-inĩ ya maaĩ mbere yacio, nĩgeetha cihaicanĩre hakuhĩ na thanju icio;
And in euery ramming time of the stronger sheepe, Iaakob layde the rods before the eyes of the sheepe in the gutters, that they might conceiue before the rods.
42 no ingĩakorirwo nĩ iria itaarĩ na hinya, ndaigaga thanju icio ho. Nĩ ũndũ ũcio mbũri iria ciarĩ mocu igĩtuĩka cia Labani, na iria ciarĩ hinya igĩtuĩka cia Jakubu.
But when the sheepe were feeble, hee put them not in: and so the feebler were Labans, and the stronger Iaakobs.
43 Nĩ ũndũ wa gwĩka ũguo, mũndũ ũcio ti Jakubu agĩkĩrĩrĩria kũgĩa na indo nyingĩ, akĩgĩa na mahiũ maingĩ, na ndungata cia airĩtu na cia arũme, o na ngamĩĩra na ndigiri.
So the man increased exceedingly, and had many flockes, and maide seruantes, and men seruants, and camels and asses.
