Kinohi 29
1 A LAILA, hele aku la o Iakoba i. kona hele ana, a hiki aku la i ka aina o na kanaka o ka hikina.
Jacob continued on the road [MTY], and he arrived at the land that was east of Canaan.
2 Nana aku la ia, aia hoi, he luawai ma ke kula, a me na ohana hipa ekolu e moe ana ilaila: no ka mea, ua hoohainuia na ohana holoholona i ka wai o ua luawai la: a aia maluna o ka waha o ka luawai he pohaku nui.
There he [was surprised to] see a well in a field, and three flocks of sheep were lying near the well. It was the well from which shepherds habitually got water for their sheep. There was a large stone covering the top of the well.
3 Ilaila i hoakoakoaia'i na ohana holoholona a pau: olokaa ae la lakou i ka pohaku mai ka waha ae o ka luawai, a hoohainu iho la i na hipa; a kau hou iho la i ka pohaku maluna o ka waha o ka luawai, ma kona wahi.
When all the flocks were gathered there, the shepherds would work together to roll the stone away from the top of the well and get water for the sheep. When they finished doing that, they would put the stone back in its place over the top of the well.
4 I aku la o Iakoba ia lakou, E kuu mau hoahanau, nohea oukou? I mai la lakou, No Harana makou.
[On that day], Jacob asked the shepherds who were sitting there, “Where are you from?” They replied, “We are from Haran.”
5 I aku la ia ia lakou, Ua ike anei oukou ia Labana, ka moopuna a Nahora? I mai la lakou, Ua ike no makou.
He asked them, “Do you know Laban, the grandson of Nahor?” They replied, “Yes, we know him.”
6 I aku la ia ia lakou, E ola ana anei oia? I mai la lakou, E ola ana no, aia hoi, ke hele mai la o Rahela, o kana kaikamahine me ka pua hipa.
Jacob asked them, “Is Laban well?” They replied, “Yes, he is well. Look! Here comes his daughter Rachel with the sheep!”
7 I aku la ia, Aia hoi, he la okoa keia; aole i hiki ka manawa e houluulu ai i na bipi: e hoohainu oukou i na hipa, a hele e hanai.
Jacob said, “Hey! The sun is still high in the sky. It is not time for the flocks to be gathered for nighttime. Give the sheep some water and then take them back to (graze/eat grass) in the pastures!”
8 I mai la lakou, Aole makou e hiki, a pau na ohana hipa i ka houluuluia, a olokaa ae lakou i ka pohaku, mai ka waha mai o ka luawai; alaila makou e hoohainu i na hipa.
They replied, “No, we cannot do that until all the flocks are gathered here and the stone is removed from the top of the well. After that, we will give water to the sheep.”
9 Ia ia i olelo ai me lakou, hiki mai la o Rahela me na hipa a kona makuakane: no ka mea, nana lakou i malama.
While he was still talking with them, Rachel came with her father’s sheep. She was the one who took care of her father’s sheep.
10 A ike aku la o Iakoba ia Rahela, ke kaikamahine a Labana, o ke kaikunane o kona makuwahine, a me ka poe hipa a Labana, o ke kaikunane o kona makuwahine, neenee aku la o Iakoba, olokaa ae la ia i ka pohaku mai ka waha ae o ka luawai, a hoohainu iho la i ka poe hipa a Labana, o ke kaikunane o kona makuwahine.
When Jacob saw Rachel, the daughter of Laban, who was his mother’s brother, [Jacob was so excited that] he went over and [by himself] rolled away the stone that covered the top of the well, and he got water for his uncle’s sheep.
11 Honi aku la o Iakoba ia Rahela, hookiekie ae la ia i kona leo, a uwe iho la.
Then Jacob kissed Rachel [on the cheek], and he cried loudly [because he was so happy].
12 Hai aku la o Iakoba ia Rahela, he hoahanau ia no kona makuakane, a he keiki na Rebeka: holo aku la kela, a hai aku la i kona makuakane.
Jacob told Rachel that he was one of her father’s relatives, the son of her aunt Rebekah. So she ran and told that to her father.
13 A lohe ae la o Labana i ka olelo no Iakoba no ke keikikane a kona kaikuwahine, holo mai la ia e halawai me ia, apo mai la ia ia, honi ae la, a kai aku la ia ia i kona hale. Hai aku la oia ia Labana ia mau mea a pau.
As soon as Laban heard that Jacob, his sister’s son, was there, he ran to meet him. He embraced him and kissed him [on the cheek]. Then he brought him to his home, and Jacob told him all that had happened to him.
14 Olelo mai la o Labana ia ia, He oiaio, o oe no kuu iwi, a me kuu io. A noho pu iho la oia me ia, hookahi malama.
Then Laban said to him, “Truly, you are part of my family!” After Jacob had stayed there and worked for Laban for a month,
15 Olelo mai la o Labana ia Iakoba, E hookauwa wale anei oe na'u, no kou pili hoahanau ana ia'u? e hai mai oe ia'u i kau uku.
Laban said to him “(You should not work for me for nothing just because you are a relative of mine!/Why should you work for me for nothing just because you are a relative of mine?) [RHQ] Tell me how much you want me to pay you.”
16 Elua mau kaikamahine a Labana, o Lea ka inoa o ka mua, a o Rahela ka inoa o ka muli iho.
Well, Laban had two daughters. The older one was named Leah, and the younger one was named Rachel.
17 He makawai ko Lea; aka, ua maikai o Rahela ke nana aku, a ua maikai kona helehelena.
Leah had pretty eyes, but Rachel had a very attractive figure and was beautiful.
18 Aloha aku la o Iakoba ia Rahela: i aku la ia, E hooikaika aku no au i kau hana i na makahiki ehiku no Rahela, no kau kaikamahine muli iho.
Jacob (was in love with/wanted very much to be married to) Rachel, and he said, “I will work for you for seven years. That will be my payment for your letting me marry your younger daughter, Rachel.”
19 I mai la o Labana, E aho no'u ke haawi aku ia ia nau, aole na ke kanaka e ae; e noho pu oe me au.
Laban replied, “It is better for me to let you marry her than for her to marry some other man!”
20 Hooikaika aku la o Iakoba i na makahiki ehiku no Rahela; a he mau la uuku wale no ia i kona manao, no kona aloha ia ia.
So Jacob worked for Laban for seven years to get Rachel, but to him it seemed like it was only a few days, because he loved her so much.
21 I aku la o Iakoba ia Labana, E haawi mai oe i ka'u wahine, i komo ai au iloko io na la, no ka mea, ua hala ae nei ko'u mau la.
After the seven years were ended, Jacob said to Laban, “Let me marry Rachel now, because the time we agreed upon for me to work for you is ended, and I want to marry her. [EUP]”
22 Houluulu ae la o Labana i na kanaka a pau o ia wahi, a hana iho la i ka ahaaina,
So Laban gathered together all the people who lived in that area and made a feast.
23 A ahiahi iho la, lalau aku la ia i kana kaikamahine ia Lea, a lawe mai la ia ia io Iakoba la, a komo aku la ia io na la.
But that evening, instead of taking Rachel to Jacob, Laban took his older daughter, Leah, to him. But because it was already dark, he could not see that it was Leah and not Rachel, and he had sex [EUP] with her.
24 Haawi aku la o Labana ia Zilepa i kona kaikamahine i kauwawahine na kana kaikamahine na Lea.
(Laban had already given his slave girl Zilpah to his daughter Leah to be her maid/servant.)
25 A ao ae la, aia hoi, o Lea ka ia: i aku la o Iakoba ia Labana, Heaha keia mea au i hana mai ai ia'u? aole anei o Rahela ka'u i hooikaika aku ai nau? No ke aha hoi oe i hoopunipuni mai ai ia'u?
The next morning, Jacob was shocked to see that it was Leah who was with him! So he went to Laban [and told him] very angrily, “(What you have done to me is disgusting!/What is this that you have done to me?) [RHQ] I worked for you to get Rachel, did I not? So why did you deceive me?”
26 I mai la o Labana, Aole pela e pono ke hana ma ko makou aina, ke haawi e aku i ka hanau hope mamua o ka hanau mua.
Laban replied, “In this land, it is not our custom to give a younger daughter to be married before we let someone marry our firstborn daughter.
27 E hoopau oe i ko ia nei hebedoma, alaila e haawi hoi makou ia Rahela nau, no ka hooikaika ana au e hooikaika ai me au, i na makahiki hou aku i ehiku.
After we finish this week of celebration, we will let you marry the younger one also. But in return, you must pay for Rachel by working for me for another seven years.”
28 Pela no o Iakoba i hana aku ai, a hoopau ae la i ko ia la hebedoma: a haawi aku la hoi oia ia Rahela i kana kaikamahine i wahine nana.
So that is what Jacob did. After the week of celebration was ended, Laban gave him his daughter, Rachel, to be his wife.
29 Haawi mai la o Labana ia Bileha i kona kaikamahine, i kauwawahine na Rahela, na kana kaikamahine.
Laban gave his slave girl, Bilhah, to Rachel to be her maid/servant.
30 Komo aku la hoi oia io Rahela la, a oi aku la kona aloha ia Rahela mamua o kona aloha ia Lea; a hooikaika aku la ia me Labana i na makahiki hou aku i ehiku.
Jacob had sex [EUP] with Rachel also, and he loved Rachel more than he loved Leah. And Jacob worked for Laban for another seven years.
31 A ike iho la o Iehova, ua hoowahawahaia o Lea, hoohua iho la ia i kona opu: aka, ua pa o Rahela.
When Yahweh saw that Jacob did not love Leah [very much], he enabled her to become pregnant. But Rachel was not able to become pregnant.
32 Hapai iho la o Lea, a hanau mai la he keikikane, a kapa iho la ia i kona inoa o I Reubena: no ka mea, i mai la ia, He oiaio, ua nana mai o Iehova i kuu popilikia; ano hoi, e aloha mai auanei ka'u kane ia'u.
Leah gave birth to a son, whom she named Reuben, [which sounds like the Hebrew words that mean ‘Look, a son]!’ She said, “Yahweh has seen that I was miserable, and because of that he has given me a son. Now, surely my husband will love me for giving birth to a son for him.”
33 Hapai hou iho la ia, a hanau mai la he keikikane; i mai la, No ka mea, ua lohe o Iehova i kuu hoowahawahaia, nolaila, ua haawi mai hoi oia i keia keikikane: kapa iho la ia i kona inoa, o I Simeona.
Later she became pregnant again and gave birth to another son. She said, “Because Yahweh has heard that my husband doesn’t love me, he has given me this son, too.” So she named him Simeon, [which means ‘someone who hears’].
34 Hapai hou iho la ia, a hanau mai la, he keikikane; i mai la, I keia manawa no, e hoopiliia mai auanei ka'u kane ia'u; no ka mea, ua hanau no wau i na keikikane ekolu nana: no ia mea i kapaia'i kona inoa, o I Levi.
Later she became pregnant again, and gave birth to another son. She said, “Now, finally, my husband will hold me close to him.” So she named him Levi, [which means ‘hold close’].
35 Hapai hou iho la ia, a hanau mai la he keikikane: i mai la ia, Ano no, e hoolea aku wau ia Iehova; nolaila, kapa iho la ia i kona inoa, o I Iuda; a oki iho la kona hanau ana.
Later she became pregnant again and gave birth to another son. She said, “(This time/Now) I will praise Yahweh.” So she called his name Judah, [which sounds like the Hebrew word that means ‘praise’]. After that, she did not give birth to any more children [for several years].
