Kinohi 30
1 A IKE ae la o Rahela, aole ia i hanau i na keiki na Iakoba, huahuwa aku la o Rahela i kona kaikaana; i mai la ia ia Iakoba, E haawi, mai oe i keiki na'u, o make au.
Rachel realized that she was not becoming pregnant and giving birth to any children for Jacob. So she became jealous of her older sister, Leah, because Leah had given birth to four sons. She said to Jacob, “Enable me to become pregnant and give birth to children. If you do not do that, I [think I will]!”
2 Hoaaia ka inaina o Iakoba ia Rahela; i aku la ia, Owau no anei ka panihakahaka no ke Akua, nana i aua mai ka hua o kou opu?
Jacob became angry with Rachel and said, “(I am not God!/Am I God?) [RHQ] He is the one who has prevented you from becoming pregnant!”
3 I mai la ia, Aia hoi kuu kauwawahine o Bileha, e komo aku oe io na la; a e hanau mai auanei ia maluna o kuu mau kuli, i keiki ai hoi au ma ona la.
Then she said, “Look, here is my female slave, Bilhah. (Sleep with/Have sex with) [EUP] her, so that she may become pregnant and give birth to children for me. In that way it will be as though (I have children/her children are mine).”
4 Haawi mai la oia ia Bileha i kana kauwawahine, i wahine nana: a komo aku la o Iakoba io na la.
So she gave him her slave, Bilhah, to be another wife for him, and Jacob had sex [EUP] with her.
5 Hapai iho la o Bileha, a hanau mai la, he keikikane na Iakoba.
She became pregnant and bore Jacob a son.
6 I mai la o Rahela, Ua hoapono mai ke Akua ia'u, ua hoolohe mai hoi ia i ko'u leo, a ua haawi mai ia i keiki na'u: nolaila, kapa iho la ia i kona inoa, o I Dana.
Rachel said, “God has (vindicated me/judged my case and has decided that what I have done is right). He has also heard my requests and has given me a son.” So she named him Dan, [which sounds like the Hebrew word that means ‘he judged’].
7 Hapai hou iho la o Bileha ke kauwawahine a Rahela, a hanau mai la, o ka lua ia o kana keikikane na Iakoba.
Later, Rachel’s slave Bilhah became pregnant again and gave birth to another son for Jacob.
8 I mai la o Rahela, Me na hakoko nui ka'u i hakoko pu ai me kuu kaikuaana, a ua lanakila au: a kapa iho la ia i kona inoa, o I Napetali.
Then Rachel said, “I have had a great struggle to have children like my older sister, but truly I have a son.” So she named him Naphtali, [which sounds like the Hebrew word that means ‘struggle’].
9 A ike iho la o Lea, ua oki kona hanau ana, lalau aku la ia ia Zilepa, i kana kauwawahine, a haawi aku la ia ia i wahine na Iakoba.
When Leah realized that she was not becoming pregnant and giving birth to any more children, she took her female slave, Zilpah, and gave her to Jacob to be another wife for him.
10 A hanau mai la o Zilepa ke kauwawahine a Lea i keikikane na Iakoba.
Zilpah soon became pregnant and gave birth to a son for Jacob.
11 I mai la o Lea, Pomaikai; a kapa iho la ia i kona inoa, o I Gada,
Leah said, “I am truly fortunate!” So she named him Gad, [which means ‘fortunate’].
12 Hanau mai la hoi o Zilepa o ke kauwawahine a Lea i ka lua o ke keikikane na Iakoba.
Later Leah’s slave, Zilpah, gave birth to another son for Jacob.
13 I mai la o Lea, Pomaikai no wau, no ka mea, e hoomaikai mai auanei na kaikamahine ia'u: a kapa iho la i kona inoa o I Asera.
Leah said, “Now I am very happy, and people will call me happy.” So she named him Asher, [which means ‘happy].’
14 Hele aku la o Reubena i na la o ka ohi palaoa ana, a loaa ia ia ma ke kula na hua dudaima, a lawe mai la ia mau mea i kona makuwahine ia Lea. Alaila, i mai la o Rahela ia Lea, Ke noi aku nei au ia oe, o haawi mai na'u i kekahi mau dudaima a kau keikikane.
When it was time to harvest wheat, Reuben went out into the fields and saw some (mandrakes/plants that women eat to help them to become pregnant). He brought some of them to his mother Leah. But Rachel saw them and said to Leah, “Please give me some of those plants that your son brought to you!”
15 I aku la kela ia ia, He mea uuku anei kou lawe ana aku i ka'u kane? a manao anei hoi oe o lawe aku i na dudaima a kuu keiki? I mai la o Rahela, Nolaila, e moe pu ia me oe i neia po no na dudaima a kau keiki.
But Leah said to her, “No! (It was bad that you stole my husband!/Is it not bad enough that you stole my husband?) [RHQ] Now (are you going to take my son’s mandrake plants?/You want to take my son’s mandrake plants also, [so that you can become pregnant]!)” [RHQ] So Rachel said, “All right, Jacob can sleep with you tonight, if you give me some of your son’s mandrake plants.” [So Leah (agreed/gave her some)].
16 I ke ahiahi, hoi mai la o Iakoba mai ke kula mai, a hele aku la o Lea e halawai me ia, i aku la, E komo mai oe io'u nei; no ka mea, he oiaio no, ua hoolimalima au ia oe me na dudaima a ka'u keiki. A moe pu iho la oia me ia ia po.
When Jacob returned from the wheat fields that evening, Leah went out to meet him. She said, “You must sleep with me tonight, because I gave Rachel some of my son’s mandrakes [that enable women to become pregnant], to pay her for allowing us to do that.” So Jacob slept with her that night.
17 Hoolohe mai la ke Akua ia Lea a hapai iho la o Lea, a hanau mai la na Iakoba i ka lima o kana keikikane.
God answered Leah’s prayers, and she became pregnant and bore a fifth son to Jacob.
18 I mai la o Lea, Ua haawi mai la ke Akua i ka'u uku, no kuu haawi ana aku i ka'u kauwawahine na kuu kane: a kapa iho la ia i kona inoa o I Isakara.
Leah said, “God has rewarded me for giving my slave to my husband to be another wife for him.” So she named him Issachar, [which sounds like the Hebrew word that means ‘reward’].
19 Hapai hoa iho la o Lea, a hanau mai na Iakoba i ke ono o kana keikikane.
Leah became pregnant again and bore a sixth son for Jacob.
20 I mai la o Lea, Ua haawi mai ke Akua ia'u i ka haawina maikai; ano la, e noho pu auanei ka'u kane me a'u, no ka mea, ua hanau no au i na keikikane eono nana: a kapa iho la ia i kona inoa o I Zebuluna.
Leah said, “God has given me a precious gift. (This time/Now) my husband will honor/respect me, because I have given birth to six sons for him.” So she named him Zebulon, [which sounds like the Hebrew word that means ‘accepted gift’].
21 A mahope iho, hanau mai la ia i kaikamahine, a kapa iho la i kona inoa o I Dina.
Later she gave birth to a daughter, and named her Dinah.
22 Hoomanao mai la ke Akua ia Rahela, a hoolohe mai la ke Akua ia ia, a hoohua mai la i kona opu.
Then God thought about what Rachel wanted. He heard her prayers and enabled her to become pregnant.
23 Hapai iho la oia, a hanau mai la he keikikane: i mai la ia, Ua lawe aku no ke Akua i kuu hoinoia.
She became pregnant and gave birth to a son. She said, “God has caused that no longer will I be ashamed [for not having children].”
24 Kapa iho la ia i kona inoa o I Iosepa; i iho la, E haawi mai ke Akua i keikikane hou na'u.
She named him Joseph, [which sounds like the Hebrew words that mean ‘may he give another’] and she said, ‘want Yahweh to give me another son.’
25 I ka manawa a Rahela i hanau ai ia Iosepa, i aku la o Iakoba ia Labana, E hoihoi aku oe ia'u, i hele aku ai au i ko'u wahi, a i ko'u aina.
After Rachel had given birth to Joseph, Jacob said to Laban, “Now allow me to quit working for you and let me return to my own land.
26 E haawi mai oe i ka'u mau wahine, a me ka'u mau kamalii, i na mea a'u i hooikaika aku ai nau, a e kuu ae oe ia'u e hele: no ka mea, ua ike oe i ka hana au i hana aku ai nau.
You know the work that I have done for you [for a long time to get my wives]. So let me take my wives and my children, and leave.”
27 I mai la o Labana ia ia, Ke noi aku nei au ia oe, ina i loaa ia'u ke aloha imua ou, e noho; ua ike no wau ma ka hoao ana, nou no ka Iehova i hoopomaikai mai ai ia'u.
But Laban said to him, “If you are pleased with me, stay here, because I have found out by performing a magic ritual that Yahweh has blessed me because of what you have done for me.
28 I mai la hoi oia, E hai mai oe i kau uku, a e haawi aku no wau.
Tell me what you want me to pay you for continuing to work for me, and that is what I will pay you.”
29 I aku la kela ia Labana, Ua ike no oe i ko'u hooikaika ana aku nau, a me ka pono o kau poe holoholona.
Jacob replied, “You know how I have worked for you, and you know that your livestock have increased greatly as I have taken care of them.
30 No ka mea, he mea uuku kau mamua o ko'u hiki ana mai, a hoomahuahuaia'e ia he lehulehu loa: a ua hoopomaikai mai o Iehova ia oe, mahope mai o kuu hele ana mai: ano hoi, ahea la au e hoolako ai i ko ka hale o'u kekahi?
You had only a few animals before I came here. But now you have very many, and Yahweh has caused them to increase greatly in number wherever I have taken them. But now I need to start taking care of the needs of my own family.”
31 I mai la oia, Heaha ka'u e uku aku ai ia oe? I aku la o Iakoba, Aole oe e uku mai ia'u i kekahi mea: ina paha penei oe e hana mai ai ia'u, alaila au e hana hou, a e malama hoi i kau poe holoholona:
Laban replied, “What do you want me to give you?” Jacob replied, “I do not want you to pay me anything. But if you will do this one thing for me, I will continue to take care of your flocks and protect them.
32 E hele ae au iwaena o kau poe holoholona a pau i neia la, a e hookaawale aku i na holoholona kikokiko a onionio, a me na mea eleele a pau o ka poe hipa, a me na mea onionio a kikokiko o ka poe kao: a oia ka'u uku.
Allow me to go and look at all of your flocks today and remove from them all the speckled sheep, all the spotted sheep, and every dark-colored lamb, all the goats that are speckled, and all the goats that are spotted, [and keep them for myself]. They will be my wages.
33 Pela e hoapono aku ai ho'u pono ia'u i ka wa mahope, i ka wa e lilo mai ai ia i uku na'u imua o kou mau maka: o na mea a pau o ka poe kao me au, aole i kikokiko, aole noi i eleele no ka poe hipa, oia ke oleloia he mea i aihueia.
In that way, in the future, you will be able to know whether I have been honest regarding what you have paid me. If any of my goats are neither speckled or spotted, or if any of my lambs are not dark-colored, you will know that I have stolen them from you.”
34 I mai la o Labana, Aia hoi, o ko'u makemake no ia, me kau i olelo mai ai.
Laban agreed and said, “Okay, we will do as you have said.”
35 Ia la no, hookaawale ae la oia i na kao kane a pau i onionio a i kikokiko, a me na kao wahine a pau i onionio a kikokiko, me na mea kiko keokeo a pau; a me na mea eleele o na mea keikihipa, a haawi aku la iloko o ka lima o kana mau keikikane.
But that same day Laban removed all the male goats that had black and white stripes on them or were spotted, and all the female goats that were speckled or spotted, all the goats that were partly white, and all the dark-colored lambs. He separated them and told his sons to take care of them.
36 A hookaawale ae la o Labana i na la hele i ekolu mawaena ona a o Iakoba: a hanai aku la o Iakoba i na poe holoholona a Labana i koe.
Then he took these flocks and walked a distance of three days, in order that he could be that far from Jacob. Jacob continued to take care of the rest of Laban’s flocks.
37 Lawe ae la o Iakoba i na laau popela maka, me na laau alemone, a me na laau pelane, a ihi iho la i na kaha onionio keokeo ma ua mau laau la, i moakaka na wahi keokeo o na mau laau la.
Then Jacob cut some branches of (poplar, almond, and plane trees/three kinds of trees that had white wood). He peeled strips of bark from the branches, so that where the bark had been peeled off, the branches were light in color.
38 Kukulu iho la ia i na laau ana i ihi ai, imua o na holoholona, ma na pawai hooinu, i ka wa i hele ai lakou e inu, i hapai ai lakou i ka wa i hele ai lakou e inu.
Then he placed the peeled branches in the troughs where they put the water for the animals to drink, so that the branches would be in front of the flocks when they came to drink.
39 Hapai iho la na holoholona imua o na mau laau la, a hanau mai la i na keiki onionio, kikokiko, a me ke kikohukohu.
The animals also mated in front of the branches, and eventually they gave birth to animals that were speckled, or to animals that were spotted, or to animals that had black and white stripes on them.
40 Hookaawale ae la o Iakoba i na keikihipa, a haliu ae la i na maka o ka poe holoholona ma na mea onionio, a me na mea eleele o ko Labana poe holoholona; hookaawale ae la ia i kona mau poe holoholona, aole i hookokoke aku ia lakou me na holoholona a Labana.
Furthermore, Jacob separated the female sheep in his flock from the other sheep and goats in Laban’s flock. And when his female sheep mated, he made them look toward the animals that belonged to Laban that had black and white stripes on them, and the dark-colored animals. He did that so that the female sheep would give birth to animals that were striped or dark-colored. By doing that, he made bigger flocks for himself, and he kept them separate from Laban’s flocks.
41 I ka wa i ai ai na holoholona ikaika, alaila, waiho iho la o Iakoba i na laau imua o na maka o na holoholona maloko o na pawaiinu, i hapai ai lakou imua o na laau.
In addition, whenever the stronger female sheep were ready to mate, Jacob put some of those peeled branches in the troughs in front of them, so that they would mate in front of the branches.
42 Aka, ina he mau holoholona nawaliwali lakou, aole ia i waiho i na laau iloko; pela no, na Labana ka poe nawaliwali, a na Iakoba ka poe ikaika.
But when weak animals were ready to mate, he did not put the branches in their troughs. So the weak ones became part of Laban’s flock, and the strong ones became part of Jacob’s flock.
43 A he nui loa ka waiwai o ua kanaka nei: ia ia na holoholona he nui wale, me na kauwawahine, a me na kauwakane, na kamelo, a me na hoki.
As a result, Jacob became very rich. He owned many large flocks of sheep and goats, and many male and female slaves, and many camels and donkeys.
