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.

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

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 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.

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

So she gave him her slave, Bilhah, to be another wife for him, and Jacob had sex [EUP] with her.

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

She became pregnant and bore Jacob 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.

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

Later, Rachel’s slave Bilhah became pregnant again and gave birth to another son for Jacob.

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.

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

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

Zilpah soon became pregnant and gave birth to a son for Jacob.

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

Leah said, “I am truly fortunate!” So she named him Gad, [which means ‘fortunate’].

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

Later Leah’s slave, Zilpah, gave birth to another son for Jacob.

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.

Leah said, “Now I am very happy, and people will call me happy.” So she named him Asher, [which means ‘happy].’

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.

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 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.

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 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.

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

God answered Leah’s prayers, and she became pregnant and bore a fifth son to Jacob.

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.

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

Leah became pregnant again and bore a sixth son for Jacob.

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.

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

Later she gave birth to a daughter, and named her Dinah.

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

Then God thought about what Rachel wanted. He heard her prayers and enabled her to become pregnant.

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

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

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

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 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.

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 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.

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

Tell me what you want me to pay you for continuing to work for me, and that is what I will pay 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.

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 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 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 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.

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 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.

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 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.

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

Laban agreed and said, “Okay, we will do as you have said.”

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.

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 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.

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 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 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 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.

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 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.

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 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.

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 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.

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 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.

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

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.
