Jenesis 30

1 Resoli'a mofavrea Jekopuna kase omino nuna'amofo kaniverenenteno, amanage huno Jekopuna asami'ne, Mofavre onte manine'na frisugi, Mofavre eri fore hunamio.

Then Rachel, discerning that she was infertile, envied her sister, and so she said to her husband, “Give me children, otherwise I will die.”

2 Higeno Jekopuna asi vazigeno Resolina rinkfa henenteno amanage hu'ne, Nagra Anumzana omani'noanki, aza karimpa erikigenka mofavrea kamu'enena hunka kasenontane.

Jacob, being angry, responded to her, “Am I in the place of God, who has deprived you of the fruit of your womb?”

3 Higeno Resoli'a amanage hu'ne, Kato mofani'a Bilha'a ama mani'neanki, antenka masegeno mofavre kase naminkeno, agripinti nagranena ana zanke hu'na mofavrea eri fore haneno.

But she said: “I have a handmaid Bilhah. Go in to her, so that she may give birth upon my knees, and I may have sons by her.”

4 Anage nehuno kato mofa'a Bilhana amigeno anaroza higeno, Jekopu'a anteno mase'ne.

And she gave him Bilhah in marriage.

5 Ana higeno Bilha'a Jekopunteti amu'ene huno ne'mofavre kasente'ne.

And when her husband had gone in to her, she conceived and bore a son.

6 Resoli'a amanage hu'ne, Anumzamo'a fatgoza hu'nane nehuno, nunamuni'a antahinamino ne'mofavre namie. Nehuno agi'a Dani'e huno ante'ne.

And Rachel said, “The Lord has judged for me, and he has heeded my voice, giving me a son.” And because of this, she called his name Dan.

7 Resoli kato mofa Bilha'a ete mago'ene amu'ene huno Jekopuna ne'mofavre kase amigeno tare se'ne.

And conceiving again, Bilhah bore another,

8 Resoli'a nevreno anage hu'ne, nuna nimofona tusiza hu'na kruno renente'na agateroe. Anage nehuno ana mofavremofo agi'a Naftali'e huno ante'ne.

about whom Rachel said, “God has compared me with my sister, and I have prevailed.” And she called him Naphtali.

9 Hanki Lia'a mago'ene mofavre onte mani'neno keana higeno, kato mofa'a Zilpana avreno Jekopu nenaroza hinogu eme ami'ne.

Leah, perceiving that she had desisted from child-bearing, delivered Zilpah, her handmaid, to her husband.

10 Lia kato mofa Zilpa'a Jekopuna ne'mofavre kase ami'ne.

And she, after having borne a son with difficulty,

11 Anante Lia'a amanage hu'ne, Na knare'za hue, nehuno agi'a Gati'e huno antemi'ne.

said: “Happiness!” And for this reason, she called his name Gad.

12 Lia kato a'mo Zilpa'a ne'mofavre Jekopuna kase amigeno tare se'ne.

Likewise, Zilpah bore another.

13 Ana higeno Lia'a anage hu'ne, Nagra muse huankino, a'nemo'za muse hu'mo'e hugahaze. Nehuno Asa'e huno agi'a antemi'ne.

And Leah said, “This one is for my happiness. Indeed, women will call me blessed.” Because of this, she called him Asher.

14 Witi taga hu'za eme vatu nehaza knare, Rubeni'a vano hiregati mago'a rone hunte flaua raga (Mandrake) erino nerera Lia hirega e'ne. Higeno Resoli'a amanage huno Liana antahige'ne, Muse (plis) hugantoanki Rubeni'ma rone hu flaua'mofo raga'a eme kami'nefintira mago'a namio.

Then Reuben, going out into the field at the time of the wheat harvest, found mandrakes. These he brought to his mother Leah. And Rachel said, “Give me a portion of your son’s mandrakes.”

15 Hianagi Lia'a amanage hu'ne, Kagrama nenavema hanre'nanana, e'i osi zampi? Hutenka menina ne' mofavrenimo'ma ronema hu flauama erino'ma e'nea erisue hunka nehano? Higeno Resoli anage hu'ne, Ha knarere, ana ronehu flauama namisana nona'a Jekopu'a meni kenage kagrane emasegahie.

She responded, “Does it seem like such a small matter to you, that you have usurped from me my husband, unless you will also take my son’s mandrakes?” Rachel said, “He will sleep with you this night because of your son’s mandrakes.”

16 Higeno ana zupa kinaga Jekopu'a hozaregati ne-egeno, Lia'a kantegati ome nevreno anage huno asmi'ne, mofavre'nimo'ma rone hu flauama erino e'nea flauateti Resolina nemina, kagrira ko miza se'noanki, kagra enka nagrane emasegahane. Higeno ana kenege Jekopu'a Lia'ene umase'ne.

And when Jacob returned from the field in the evening, Leah went out to meet him, and she said, “You will enter to me, because I have hired you for the reward of my son’s mandrakes.” And he slept with her that night.

17 Anumzamo'a Leana antahi amigeno, amu'ene huno 5fu'mofona ne'mofavre Jekopu'na kase ami'ne.

And God heard her prayers. And she conceived and bore a fifth son.

18 Lia anage hu'ne, Anumzamo'a mizani'a namie, na'ankure eri'za mofani'a nenave avre amugeno anteno masegeno mofavre kase nami'ne. Huteno agi'a Isaka'e huno antemi'ne.

And she said, “God has given a reward to me, because I gave my handmaid to my husband.” And she called his name Issachar.

19 Lia'a Isaka amageteti amu'ene huno 6simofona ne'mofavre Jekopuna kase ami'ne.

Conceiving again, Leah bore a sixth son.

20 Lia'a anage hu'ne, Anumzamo'a mareri'nea miza muse hunanteno nami'neankino, menina nenave'a nagrira antahinamigahie. Na'ankure 6si'a ne'mofavre kase amue. Nehuno agi'a Zebuluni'e huno ante'ne.

And she said: “God has endowed me with a good dowry. And now, at this turn, my husband will be with me, because I have conceived six sons for him.” And therefore she called his name Zebulun.

21 Henka'a Lia'a Zebuluni amagetetira mofara mago anteno agi'a Daina'e hu'ne.

After him, she bore a daughter, named Dinah.

22 Anantera Anumzamo'a Resoli nunamuna antahi'nemino mofavre ante ku'a eri vasanente'ne.

The Lord, likewise remembering Rachel, heeded her and opened her womb.

23 Ana higeno amu'ene huno ne'mofavre kasenenteno anage hu'ne, Anumzamo'a nagaze zana eri amne hunante huno nehuno,

And she conceived and bore a son, saying, “God has taken away my reproach.”

24 agi'a Josefe'e huno antenemi'no anage hu'ne, Anumzamo'a ne'mofavrea mago'ene namisie.

And she called his name Joseph, saying, “The Lord has added to me another son.”

25 Hagi Resoli'a Josefema kasentetegeno Jekopu'a Lebanina amanage huno asami'ne, nonkuma'niare mopani'arega vunaku huanki hunantege'na va'neno.

But when Joseph was born, Jacob said to his father-in-law: “Release me, so that I may return to my native country and to my land.

26 A'neni'ane mofavre nagani'ane zamagriku hu'na eri'zanka'a eri'na e'noanki natregena va'neno. Hagi kagrake'za eri'zama erigante'noa zana kenka antahinka hu'nane.

Give me my wives, and my children, for whom I have served you, so that I may depart. You know the servitude with which I have served you.”

27 Hianagi Lebani'a amanage huno Jekopuna asami'ne, Nagrama kasnampa hu'na kagri'ma kagoana, nagrane mani'nankeno Ra Anumzamo'a kagriku huno asomura hunenante. Hagi menima kagrama kavesi nantesunka nagrane manio.

Laban said to him: “May I find grace in your sight. I have learned by experience that God has blessed me because of you.

28 Nehuno Lebani'a ru'ene kea avazu huno anage hu'ne, Kema hananama'a ana avamente kamigahue. Hagi miza agi ahenanto.

Choose your wages, which I will give you.”

29 Higeno Jekopu'a amanage huno asami'ne, nagrama eri'zanka'a eri'na neogeno maka afukamo knareke huno e'neana, kagra kenka antahinka hu'nane.

But he responded: “You know how I have served you, and how great your possession became in my hands.

30 Nagrama ome'nogenka, kagra osi'a sipisipi afuzaga ante'nananagi, nagrama erua eri'zampi Ra Anumzamo'a asomu hugantegeno rukazi huno rama'a fore hu'ne. Hagi ina zupa natre'nankena a' mofavreni'a zamaza hugahue?

You had little before I came to you, and now you have achieved riches. And the Lord has blessed you since my arrival. It is just, therefore, that at some time I also should provide for my own house.”

31 Higeno Lebani'a amanage huno Jekopuna asmi'ne, Na'a nagra kamigahue? Higeno Jekopu'a anage hu'ne, Kagra mago zane hunka onamigahane. Kagra magoke zantfa nagrira hunantegahane, nagra mago'ene afuzagaka'a traza me'nesirega kegava hugantegahue.

And Laban said, “What shall I give to you?” But he said, “I want nothing. But if you will do what I ask, I will feed and guard your sheep again.

32 Hagi menina natrege'na maka afu zagaka'a mani'nafi vano nehu'na, tupri tapri sipisipine, aganumpa lama anenta'ma tegre ramine'niane, tupri tapri hu'nenia memene avre rure ha'nenkeno, e'i ana afu'zagamo nagri miza megahie.

Go around through all your flocks and separate all the sheep of variegated or spotted fleece; and whatever will be darkened or blemished or variegated, as much among the sheep as among the goats, will be my wages.

33 Henka mizama naminaku hanana zupa, havigema hu'zankura e'i anamo eriama hunantegahie. Hakare'a agrono kre ramineni'ane, tupri tapri osu'nenia memempi, aganumpa osu'nenia lama anenta'enema, nagri afupima kenunka kumzafa se'nane huo.

And my justice will answer on my behalf tomorrow, when the time of settlement arrives before you. And all that is not variegated or blemished or darkened, as much among the sheep as among the goats, these will prove me to be a thief.”

34 Higeno Lebani'a amanage hu'ne, Ha knareki, kema hanaza huo.

And Laban said, “I hold favor for this request.”

35 Higeno ana zagekna zupage, agra'a Lebani'a vuno maka'a agrono krerami'neane, tupri taprima hu'nea ve memene tupri tapri hu'nea a' memene, efeke hu'neane, aganumpa sipisipi afura avrezamige'za amohe'za afete'are ome ante'za kegava hu'naze.

And on that day he separated the she-goats, and the sheep, and the he-goats, and the rams with variegations or with blemishes. But every one of the flock which was of one color, that is, of white or of black fleece, he delivered into the hands of his sons.

36 Lebani'a Jekopuna atreno taregi magoki zagegna vu'are afete afu'zaga'a avreno umanigeno, Jekopu'a ruga'a afu'zagare kegava krino mani'ne.

And he established a distance of three days journey between himself and his son-in-law, who pastured the remainder of his flock.

37 Hianagi kegava huno mani'neno tagufa ruzahu ruzahu zafamofo azankunatmi akafrino, ukari'za mago'a nehareno nohareno higeno efeke nehigeno, tupri tapri hu'ne. Ana zafa ukari'ma haregeno'a efeke hu'ne.

Then Jacob, taking green branches of poplar, and almond, and sycamore trees, debarked them in part. And when the bark was pulled off, in the parts that were stripped, there appeared whiteness, yet the parts that were left whole, remained green. And so, in this way the color was made variegated.

38 E'i ana zafa azankunatamina erino vuno sipisipine mememo'za ti nenazare zamavuga ana zotaramina mopafi ome rentetere hu'ne. Hagi tima nenaku esanu'za eme nege'za ve afu'moza a' afu'tamimofo zamagumpi marerihogu anara hu'ne.

And he placed them in the troughs, where the water was poured out, so that when the flocks had arrived to drink, they would have the branches before their eyes, and in their sight they might conceive.

39 Hanki e'i ana zafa azankunatamima rente'nea tva'ontema ve afu'mo'ma a' afumofo agumpima marerinkeno'a, ana afu'mo'a tupri tapri azoka'ene anenta antegahie.

And it happened that, in the very heat of joining together, the sheep looked upon the branches, and they bore the blemished and the variegated, those speckled with diverse color.

40 Hanki Jekopu'a tupri tapri' azoka'ene ve afu'zaga agra'a suza refko huganti netreno, aganumpa ve afuzaga zamatrege'za Lebani afuzagafi mani'naze.

And Jacob divided the flock, and he set the branches in the troughs before the eyes of the rams. Now whatever was white or black belonged to Laban, but, in truth, the others belonged to Jacob, for the flocks were dispersed among one another.

41 Hanki hankavenetake ve afu'zagamo'zama a' afumokizmi zamagumpima marerizama nehazageno'a, Jekopu'a ana zafa azankuna zamavuga tinkampi arentetere hu'ne. Ana hige'za zafa azankuna rente'nea tava'onte agumpina mareritere hu'naze.

Therefore, when the first to arrive were climbing on the ewes, Jacob placed the branches in the troughs of water before the eyes of the rams and the sheep, so that they might conceive while they were gazing upon them.

42 Hianagi hankave'a omane'nea ve afu'zagamo'zama, a' afu'mokizmi zamagumpima marerizama nehazageno'a, Jekopu'a ana zafa azankunatamina zamavuga ome reonte'ne. Hagi hankave'a omne'nea afu'zaga e'i Lebani afu'zagagi, hanave afu'zaga Jekopu suzane.

Yet when the late arrivals and the last to conceive were let in, he did not place these. And so those that arrived late became Laban’s, and those that arrived first became Jacob’s.

43 Ana nehuno afu'amo hakare higeno, eri'za vene a'ene, kemorine, donkine, hakare'aza nenteno Jekopu'a feno ne' efore hu'ne.

And the man was enriched beyond limit, and he had many flocks, women servants and men servants, camels and donkeys.
