Jenesis 29
1 Jekopu'a masetere hume vuno, zage hanati kaziga vahe'mofo mopafi uhanati'ne.
Kisha Yakobo akaendelea na safari yake na akafika katika nchi ya watu wa mashariki.
2 Agra kesga huno trazampi keana, tinkerire tagufa afu kevu masenageno ke'ne, ana tikerireti sipisipiramina tina afi'za nezmize. Hanki ana tinkerimofo agitera ra have runkani rente'naze.
Hata alipotazama, akaona kisima kondeni, na, tazama, makundi matatu ya kondoo yalikuwa yamelala kando yake. Kwani kutoka katika hicho wangeyanywesha makundi, na jiwe juu ya mdomo wa kisima lilikuwa kubwa.
3 Anante mika sipisipi kva vahe'mo'za utru hute'za, kerimofo agiteti havea atufe ante'ne'za, tina afi'za sipisipi zamia zamite'za, ete ana havea atufe'za ana kerimofo avazare runkani rentetere nehazane.
Wakati makundi yote yangekusanyika pale, wachungaji wangevingirisha jiwe kutoka katika mdomo wa kisima na kuwanywesha kondoo, na kisha kurudisha jiwe juu ya mdomo wa kisima, mahali pake.
4 Hagi Jekopu'a zamagrikura amanage hu'ne, Nafuheta tamagra igatire? Hige'za kenona hu'za, Tagra Haranitire.
Yakobo akawambia, “Ndugu zangu, ninyi mnatokea wapi?” nao wakasema, “Tunatoka Harani.”
5 Hazageno Agra amanage huno zamasmi'ne, Nahori negeho Lebanina ke'nazo? Hige'za zamagra kenona amanage hu'naze, Tagra agrira ke'none.
Akawambia, “Mnamfahamu Labani mwana wa Nahori?” Wakasema, “Tunamfahamu.”
6 Hazageno Jekopu'a zamagrira amanage huno zamasmi'ne, Lebani'a knare huno mani'nefi? Hige'za zamagra hu'za, Agra knare huno mani'ne. Hanki antu ko, agri'mofa Resoli'a sipisipi zaga'ane ne-e.
Akawambia, “Je hajambo?” Wakasema, “Hajambo, na, tazama pale, Raheli binti yake anakuja na kondoo.”
7 Hazageno Jekopu'a anage huno zamasmine, Keho, zagea anamifi megeno afu'zagarami eritru hukna omane'neanki, sipisipi afuzaga tina nezmita zamavareta vinke'za trazana ome neho, huno nehige'za,
Yakobo akasema, “Tazama, ni mchana. Siyo wakati wa kukusanya kondoo pamoja. Mnapaswa kuwanywesha kondoo na kisha mkaenda na kuwaacha wachunge.”
8 zamagra amanage hu'naze, E'inahura osu'nenunkeno mika'a emetru hute'nageta, tinkeriretira have avaza'a eritreta tina afi zamisunke'za negahaze.
Wakamwambia, “Hatuwezi kuwanywesha mpaka makundi yote yakusanyike pamoja. Ndipo wanaume watakapovingirisha jiwe kutoka mlangoni mwa kisima, na ndipo tutakapowanywesha kondoo.”
9 Hagi Jekopu'a nanekea zamagrane nehigeno, Resoli'a agra sipisipi kva nehia mofakino, nefa sipisipi zamavareno e'ne.
Wakati bado Yakobo anaongea nao, Raheli akaja pamoja na kondoo wa babaye, kwani alikuwa akiwachunga.
10 Jekopu'a nenogo Lebani mofa Resoli'ma sipisipi'ane ne-egeno, negeno vuno tin keriretira havea ome rekrehe huno, nerera nesaro Lebani sipisipia ti afizmi'ne.
Yakobo alipomwona Raheli, binti wa Labani, kaka wa mamaye, na kondoo wa Labani, kaka wa mama yake, Yakobo akaja juu, akalivingirisha jiwe kutoka mlangoni mwa kisima, na akawanywesha kondoo wa Labani, kaka wa mama yake.
11 Anante Jekopu'a Resolina antako hunenteno, ranke huno zavi ate'ne.
Yakobo akambusu Raheli na akalia kwa sauti.
12 Jekopu'a Resolina amanage huno asamine, Nafakamofo nesaro Rebeka mofavre mani'noe, higeno Resoli'a agareno vuno nefa ome asmi'ne.
Yakobo akamwambia Raheli kwamba alikuwa ni ndugu wa baba yake, na kwamba alikuwa mwana wa Rebeka. Kisha yeye akakimbia kumwambia baba yake.
13 Hanki Lebani'a nesaro mofavre nenogo nenekema nentahino'a, ome ke'naku agareno vuno, ome anukino antako hunenteno avreno noma'afi e'ne. Ana higeno Jekopu'a hakare'a kea asami vaga'rene.
Labani aliposikia habari kuhusu Yakobo mwana wa dada yake, akaenda kukutana naye, akamkumbatia, akambusu, na kumleta nyumbani kwake. Yakobo akamwambia Labani mambo haya yote.
14 Ana hutegeno Lebani'a amanage huno asami'ne, Kagra nagri kora mani'nane. Higeno Jekopu'a anante mago ika agrane mani'ne.
Labani akamwambia, “Kwa hakika wewe ni mfupa wangu na nyama yangu.” Kisha Yakobo akakaa naye kama mwezi mmoja.
15 Hagi Lebani'a amanage huno Jekopuna asami'ne, Kagra nagri kora mani'nankure hunka amne eri'zana e'origahane. Nama'a kagrira miza hugantegahufi nasamio?
Kisha Labani akamwambia Yakobo, “Je unitumikie bure kwa kuwa wewe ni ndugu yangu? Niambie, ujira wako utakuwaje?
16 Lebani'a tare mofatre zanante'ne, kotamofo agi'a Lia'e, osi'mofo agi'a Resoli'e.
Basi Labani alikuwa na binti wawili. Jina la mkubwa lilikuwa ni Lea, na jina la mdogo lilikuwa Raheli.
17 Lia avurgamo'a kazakiri'ne, hagi Resoli avurgamo'ene, avufgamo enena knarezantfa hu'ne.
Macho ya Lea yalikuwa dhaifu, lakini Raheli alikuwa mzuri wa umbo na mwonekano.
18 Jekopu'a Resolina avesinenteno amanage hu'ne, Nagra 7ni'a kafufi mofaka'a Resolima a'ma erinte'nakura erizanka'a erigantegahue.
Yakobo alimpenda Raheli, hivyo akasema, “Nitakutumikia miaka saba kwa ajili ya Raheli, binti yako mdogo.”
19 Higeno Lebani'a amanage hu'ne, Ru vahe ami'zankura kagri'ma kamisuana knare hu'neanki nagrane manio.
Labani akasema, Itakuwa vema kukupa wewe, kuliko kumpa mtu mwingine. Kaa nami.”
20 Jekopu'a 7ni'a zagegfufi Resolima a'ma erikura eri'zana eri'neankino, ana knamo'a agritera osi knasente'ne. Na'ankure agrama Resolima avesinte'negu anara hu'ne.
Hivyo Yakobo akamtumikia kwa miaka saba kwa ajili ya Raheli; nayo ilionekana kwake kama siku chache tu, kwa ajili ya upendo aliokuwa nao kwake.
21 Hagi henka ana knamo'a vagaregeno Jekopu'a amanage huno Lebanikura hu'ne, Knama nami'nana knamo'a hago vagareanki, a'ni'a namige'na ara eri'neno.
Kisha Yakobo akamwambia Labani, “Nipe mke wangu, kwani siku zangu zimetimia - ili kwamba nimwoe!
22 Higeno Lebani'a ana kumate vahera miko zamare tru huno, aravema hu ne'za kre'ne.
Hivyo Labani akawaalika watu wa mahali hapo na kuandaa sherehe.
23 Ana kenegera Lebani'a Lia avreno Jekopu ome amigeno anteno mase'ne.
Wakati wa jioni, Labani akamchukua Lea binti yake mkubwa na kumleta kwa Yakobo, aliyelala naye.
24 Lebani'a eri'za erinentea a' Zilpa avreno mofa'a Lia katoza huminogu eme ami'ne.
Labani akampa mtumishi wake wakike Zilpa kuwa mjakazi wa Lea.
25 Hanki Jekopu'a maseno kotigeno nanterama keana Lia mani'negeno keteno, agra amanage Lebanikura hu'ne, Resolinte eri'zana eri kantenoanki, kagra na'a amazana hunantane? Nahigenka renavatga hane?
Ilipofika asubuhi, tazama, kumbe ni Lea! Yakobo akamwambia Labani, “Ni nini hiki ulichonifanyia? Je sikukutumikia kwa ajili ya Raheli? Kwa nini basi umenihadaa?
26 Anage hianagi Lebani'a ana kenona amanage hu'ne, Tagri kumapina nagna'amo nuna'amofo agatereno ve' eri'zana omane'ne.
Labani akamwambia, “Siyo utamaduni wetu kumtoa bindi mdogo kabla ya mzaliwa wa kwanza.
27 Mago sonta manitegeta, tagra mago'mofona kamisnunkenka ara erigahananki, ete mago'ene 7ni'a zagegafu eri'zana eri nantegahane.
Timiza juma la bibi arusi, na tutakupa yule mwingine pia kwa mbadala wa kunitumikia miaka mingine saba.”
28 Higeno Jekopu'a mago sonta Lia'ene mani vagare'tegeno, Lebani'a mofa'a Resolina avreno Jekopuna amigeno nenaro'za hu'ne.
Yakobo akafanya hivyo, na akatimiza juma la Lea. Kisha Labani akampa Raheli binti yake kuwa mke wake.
29 Lebani'a, katozama'a e'neri a' Bilhana avreno Resoli katoza eri aminogu ami'ne.
Lakini pia Labani akampa Raheli binti yake Bilha, kuwa mjakazi wake.
30 Hanki Jekopu'a Resolina anteno mase'ne, agra Liama avesi nenteama'a agatereno Resolina tusiza huno avesintene. Agra ana nehuno Lebanina erizana 7ni'a zagegafufi erinte'ne.
Hivyo Yakobo akalala na Raheli, pia, lakini akampenda Raheli zaidi ya Lea. Hivyo Yakobo akamtumikia Labani kwa miaka saba mingine.
31 Hanki Ra Anumzamo'ma keana Jekopu'a Liana avesi ontegeno, Anumzamo'a rimpa eri vasne'ne, ana hianagi Resoli'a narvo a' mani'ne.
Yahwe akaona kwamba Lea hakupendwa, hivyo akalifungua tumbo lake, lakini Raheli hakuwa na mtoto.
32 Lia'a amu'ene huno ne' kasenteno agi'a Rubeni'e huno nenteno anage hu'ne, Na'ankure Ra Anumzamo natazani'a nazeri knare hiankino, nenave'a avesi nantegahie.
Lea akashika mimba na kuzaa mwana, naye akamwita Rubeni. Kwani alisema, “Kwa sababu Yahwe ameliangalia teso langu; bila shaka mme wangu sasa atanipenda.”
33 Anante Lia'a mago'ene amu'ene huno ne' kasenteno amanage hu'ne, nenave'a avesi onantegeno Ra Anumzamo antahi namino mago'ene ama mofavrea nenamie, nehuno Simioni'e huno agia antemi'ne.
Kisha akashika mimba tena na kuzaa mwana. Akasema, “Kwa sababu Yahwe amesikia kwamba sipendwi, kwa hiyo amenipa mwana mwingine,” na akamwita Simoni.
34 Anante Lia'a amu'ene huno ne' kasenteno amanage hu'ne, Menina ama knarera, nenave'a tvaonire manigahie. Na'ankure nagra tagufa ne'mofavre kase amue. Ana hu'negu agi'a Levi'e huno antemi'ne.
Kisha akashika mimba tena na kuzaa mwana. Akasema, “Wakati huu mme wangu ataungana nami, kwa kuwa nimemzalia wana watatu.” Kwa hiyo akaitwa Lawi.
35 Anante Lia'a mago'ene amu'ene huno, ne'mofavre kasenteno amanage hu'ne, Menina nagra Ra Anumzamofo agi'a erisga hue. Ana hu'negu agi'a Juda'e hu'ne. Ana huteno ana a'mo'a mago'ene mofavrea onte'ne.
Akashika mimba tena na kuzaa mwana. Akasema, “Wakati huu nitamsifu Yahwe.” Kwa hiyo akamwita jina lake Yuda; kisha akaacha kuzaa watoto.
