< Genesis 30 >

1 Idi nakita ni Raquel a saanna a maipaayan ni Jacob iti annak, inapalanna ti kabsatna. Kinunana kenni Jacob, “Ikkannak kadagiti annak, ta no saan ket matayak.”
When Rachel saw that she was not bearing any children for Jacob, she envied her sister. “Give me children, or I will die!” she said to Jacob.
2 Nakaunget ni Jacob kenni Raquel. Kinunana, “Addaak kadi iti lugar ti Dios a manglaplapped kenka a maaddaan kadagiti annak?”
Jacob became angry with Rachel and said, “Am I in the place of God, who has withheld children from you?”
3 Kinunana, “Kitaem, daydiay ni Bilha nga adipenko. Makikaiddaka kenkuana, ta bareng no makaanak para kaniak, ket maaddaanakto kadagiti annak babaen kenkuana.”
Then she said, “Here is my maidservant Bilhah. Sleep with her, that she may bear children for me, so that through her I too can build a family.”
4 Inted ngarud ni Raquel kenni Jacob ni Bilha nga adipenna kas maysa nga asawa, ket nakikaidda ni Jacob kenkuana.
So Rachel gave Jacob her servant Bilhah as a wife, and he slept with her,
5 Nagsikog ni Bilha ket naganak iti lalaki para kenni Jacob.
and Bilhah conceived and bore him a son.
6 Ket kinuna ni Raquel, “Dinengngegnak ti Dios. Pudno a nangngegna ti timekko ket inikkannak iti anak a lalaki.” Isu a pinanagananna daytoy iti Dan.
Then Rachel said, “God has vindicated me; He has heard my plea and given me a son.” So she named him Dan.
7 Nagsikog manen ni Bilha nga adipen ni Raquel ket naganak iti maikadua a lalaki para kenni Jacob.
And Rachel’s servant Bilhah conceived again and bore Jacob a second son.
8 Kinuna ni Raquel, “Sipipinget a pannakigabbo ti pannakigabbok iti kabsatko ket nangabakak.” Pinanagananna daytoy iti Neftali.
Then Rachel said, “In my great struggles, I have wrestled with my sister and won.” So she named him Naphtali.
9 Idi nakita ni Lea a nagsardengen isuna a maaddaan kadagiti annak, innalana ni Zilpa, nga adipenna, ket intedna kenni Jacob kas asawana.
When Leah saw that she had stopped having children, she gave her servant Zilpah to Jacob as a wife.
10 Naganak ni Zilpa nga adipen ni Lea iti lalaki para kenni Jacob.
And Leah’s servant Zilpah bore Jacob a son.
11 Kinuna ni Lea, “Kinagasat daytoy!” isu a pinanagananna daytoy iti Gad.
Then Leah said, “How fortunate!” So she named him Gad.
12 Kalpasanna, naganak ni Zilpa nga adipen ni Lea iti maikadua a lalaki para kenni Jacob.
When Leah’s servant Zilpah bore Jacob a second son,
13 Kinuna ni Lea, “Naragsakak! Ta awagandakto dagiti annak a babbai iti naragsak.” Isu a pinanagananna iti Aser.
Leah said, “How happy I am! For the women call me happy.” So she named him Asher.
14 Kadagiti aldaw ti panagapit iti trigo, napan ni Ruben iti talon ket nakasarak kadagiti mandragoras. Insangpetna dagitoy kenni nanangna a Lea. Ket kinuna ni Raquel kenni Lea, “Ikkannak iti sumagmamano kadagiti mandragoras ti anakmo.”
Now during the wheat harvest, Reuben went out and found some mandrakes in the field. When he brought them to his mother, Rachel begged Leah, “Please give me some of your son’s mandrakes.”
15 Kinuna ni Lea kenkuana, “Bassit laeng kadi a banag kenka, nga innalam ti asawak? Ita, kayatmo pay nga alaen dagiti mandragoras ti anakko?” Kinuna ni Raquel, “No kasta, makikaidda kenka ni Jacob inton rabii, kas kasukat dagiti mandragoras ti anakmo.”
But Leah replied, “Is it not enough that you have taken away my husband? Now you want to take my son’s mandrakes as well?” “Very well,” said Rachel, “he may sleep with you tonight in exchange for your son’s mandrakes.”
16 Simmangpet ni Jacob manipud iti talon iti rabii. Rimmuar ni Lea tapno sabtenna isuna ket kinunana, “Masapul a makikaiddaka kaniak ita a rabii, ta inabanganka babaen kadagiti mandragoras ti anakko.” Isu a nakikaidda ni Jacob kenni Lea iti dayta a rabii.
When Jacob came in from the field that evening, Leah went out to meet him and said, “You must come with me, for I have hired you with my son’s mandrakes.” So he slept with her that night.
17 Dinengngeg ti Dios ni Lea, ket nagsikog ken naganak iti maikalima a lalaki para kenni Jacob.
And God listened to Leah, and she conceived and bore a fifth son to Jacob.
18 Kinuna ni Lea, “Inikkannak ti Dios iti tangdanko, gapu ta intedko ti adipenko a babai iti asawak.” Pinanagananna daytoy iti Issacar.
Then Leah said, “God has rewarded me for giving my maidservant to my husband.” So she named him Issachar.
19 Nagsikog manen ni Lea ket naganak iti maika-innem a lalaki para kenni Jacob.
Again Leah conceived and bore a sixth son to Jacob.
20 Kinuna ni Lea, “Inikkannak ti Dios iti nasayaat a sagut. Raemennakon ita ti asawak, gapu ta naganakak iti innem a lallaki para kenkuana.” Pinanagananna daytoy iti Zabulon.
“God has given me a good gift,” she said. “This time my husband will honor me, because I have borne him six sons.” And she named him Zebulun.
21 Kalpasanna, naganak iti babai ket pinanagananna iti Dina.
After that, Leah gave birth to a daughter and named her Dinah.
22 Linagip ti Dios ni Raquel ket dinengngegna isuna. Pinagsikogna daytoy.
Then God remembered Rachel. He listened to her and opened her womb,
23 Nagsikog ket naganak iti lalaki. Kinunana, “Inikkat ti Dios ti pannakaibabainko.”
and she conceived and gave birth to a son. “God has taken away my shame,” she said.
24 Pinanagananna daytoy iti Jose, a kunana, “Innayon ni Yahweh kaniak ti maysa pay nga anak a lalaki.”
She named him Joseph, and said, “May the LORD add to me another son.”
25 Kalpasan nga inyanak ni Raquel ni Jose, kinuna ni Jacob kenni Laban, “Ipalubosmo koma a pumanawak, tapno makaapanak iti bukodko a pagtaengan ken iti pagiliak.
Now after Rachel had given birth to Joseph, Jacob said to Laban, “Send me on my way so I can return to my homeland.
26 Itedmo kaniak dagiti assawak ken dagiti annakko a gapuanan ti panagserbik kenka, ket palubosannak a pumanaw, ta ammom ti panagserbi nga impaayko kenka.”
Give me my wives and children for whom I have served you, that I may go on my way. You know how hard I have worked for you.”
27 Kinuna ni Laban kenkuana, “No ita ket nakabirokak iti pabor kadagita matam, aguray, gapu ta natakkuatak a binendisionannak ti Dios gapu kenka.”
But Laban replied, “If I have found favor in your eyes, please stay. I have learned by divination that the LORD has blessed me because of you.”
28 Ket kinunana, “Naganam dagiti tangdanmo, ket bayadak dagitoy.”
And he added, “Name your wages, and I will pay them.”
29 Kinuna ni Jacob kenkuana, “Ammom no kasano iti pinagserbik kenka, ken no kasano nga immadu dagiti arbanmo kaniak.
Then Jacob answered, “You know how I have served you and how your livestock have thrived under my care.
30 Ta addaanka laeng iti bassit sakbay nga immayak, ket immadu dagitoy iti kasta unay. Binendisionannaka ti Dios iti sadinoman a nagtrabahoak. Ita, kaanoakto ngay met a mangisabet para iti bukodko a pagtaengan?”
Indeed, you had very little before my arrival, but now your wealth has increased many times over. The LORD has blessed you wherever I set foot. But now, when may I also provide for my own household?”
31 Isu a kinuna ni Laban, “Ania ti ibayadko kenka?” Kinuna ni Jacob, “Saannak nga ikkan iti aniaman. No aramidem daytoy a banag para kaniak, pakanek manen dagiti arbanmo ken aywanak dagitoy.
“What can I give you?” Laban asked. “You do not need to give me anything,” Jacob replied. “If you do this one thing for me, I will keep on shepherding and keeping your flocks.
32 Palubosannak koma laeng a mapan kadagiti amin nga arbanmo ita nga aldaw, ket ikkatek dagiti turikturikan ken labang a karnero, ken tunggal nangisit kadagiti karnero, ken dagiti labang ken turikturikan kadagiti kalding. Dagitoyto dagiti tangdanko.”
Let me go through all your flocks today and remove from them every speckled or spotted sheep, every dark-colored lamb, and every spotted or speckled goat. These will be my wages.
33 Ti kinapudnok ti mangpaneknekto kaniak iti masakbayan, inton umayka a mangsukimat kadagiti tangdanko. Tunggal maysa a saan a turikturikan ken labang kadagiti kalding, ken nangisit kadagiti karnero, no addaman ti masarakam kaniak, ket maibilangto a natakaw.”
So my honesty will testify for me when you come to check on my wages in the future. If I have any goats that are not speckled or spotted, or any lambs that are not dark-colored, they will be considered stolen.”
34 Kinuna ni Laban, “Umanamongak. Maaramid koma ngarud, kas iti sinaom.”
“Agreed,” said Laban. “Let it be as you have said.”
35 Iti dayta nga aldaw, inikkat ni Laban dagiti amin a kalakian a kalding a garitan ken labang, ken amin a kabaian a kalding a turikturikan ken labang, amin nga adda purawna, ken amin a nangisit kadagiti karnero, ket impaimana kadagiti annakna a lallaki.
That very day Laban removed all the streaked or spotted male goats and every speckled or spotted female goat—every one that had any white on it—and every dark-colored lamb, and he placed them under the care of his sons.
36 Nangikabil met ni Laban iti tallo nga aldaw a panagdaliasat iti nagbaetanda kenni Jacob. Intuloy ngarud ni Jacob nga inay-aywanan dagiti nabati kadagiti arban ni Laban.
Then he put a three-day journey between himself and Jacob, while Jacob was shepherding the rest of Laban’s flocks.
37 Nangala ni Jacob kadagiti kaputputed a sanga dagiti alamo, ken kadagiti almendras ken kadagiti kastanio a kayo, sana inikkat ti dadduma nga ukisda tapno kasla garitan ti langada.
Jacob, however, took fresh branches of poplar, almond, and plane trees, and peeled the bark, exposing the white inner wood of the branches.
38 Kalpasanna, inkabilna dagiti sanga nga inukisanna iti sango dagiti arban, iti sango ti kahon a pagkargaan iti danum a pagin-inumanda. Agtitinnakbada no kasta nga umayda uminum.
Then he set the peeled branches in the watering troughs in front of the flocks coming in to drink. So when the flocks were in heat and came to drink,
39 Agtitinnakba dagiti ayup iti sango dagiti sanga, ket naganak dagiti arban iti garitan, turikturikan, ken labang nga urbon.
they mated in front of the branches. And they bore young that were streaked or speckled or spotted.
40 Insina ni Jacob dagiti kabaian a karnero ket inturongna dagiti rupada kadagiti garitan nga ayup ken amin a nangisit a karnero iti arban ni Laban. Ket insinana dagiti arbanna ken saanna nga inlaok kadagiti arban ni Laban.
Jacob set apart the young, but made the rest face the streaked dark-colored sheep in Laban’s flocks. Then he set his own stock apart and did not put them with Laban’s animals.
41 Tunggal agmaya dagiti napipigsa a karnero iti arban, ikabil ni Jacob dagiti sanga iti pagin-inumanda iti sangoanan dagiti arban, tapno agtitinnakbada iti ayan dagiti sanga.
Whenever the stronger females of the flock were in heat, Jacob would place the branches in the troughs, in full view of the animals, so that they would breed in front of the branches.
42 Ngem no kasta nga umay dagiti nakakapsut nga ayup iti arban, saanna nga ikabil dagiti sanga iti sangoananda. Kukua ngarud ni Laban dagiti nakakapsut nga ayup, ket kukua ni Jacob dagiti napipigsa nga ayup.
But if the animals were weak, he did not set out the branches. So the weaker animals went to Laban and the stronger ones to Jacob.
43 Rimmang-ay iti kasta unay ti lalaki. Addaan isuna kadagiti adu nga arban, adipen a babbai ken adipen a lallaki, ken kadagiti kamelio ken asno.
Thus Jacob became exceedingly prosperous. He owned large flocks, maidservants and menservants, and camels and donkeys.
