Genesis 30
1 Tusruktu wanginna tulik Rachel el osweang nu sel Jacob, oru el mutawauk in lemtai tamtael lal, ac fahk nu sel Jacob, “Orala kutu tulik ah nutik. Kom fin tia, nga ac misa.”
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 Jacob el kasrkusrak sel Rachel ac fahk, “Tia nga pa God — El na pa oru kom in tia orek tulik uh.”
Jacob, being angry, responded to her, “Am I in the place of God, who has deprived you of the fruit of your womb?”
3 Rachel el fahk, “Bilhah, mutan kulansap luk, el a inge. Ona yorol tuh elan ku in orala sie tulik ah nutik. Fin ouinge ku in oaoala mu nina se pa nga.”
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 Ouinge el eisalang Bilhah nu sin mukul tumal, ac el ona yorol.
And she gave him Bilhah in marriage.
5 Bilhah el pitutuyak ac oswela wen se nu sel Jacob.
And when her husband had gone in to her, she conceived and bore a son.
6 Rachel el fahk, “God El oru nununku lal ac ase enenu luk. El lohng kwafe luk ac ase wen se nutik.” Ouinge el sang inen tulik sac Dan.
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 Bilhah el sifilpa pitutuyak ac oswela wen se akluo nu sel Jacob.
And conceiving again, Bilhah bore another,
8 Rachel el fahk, “Nga alein yokna nu sin tamtael luk, tusruktu inge nga kutangla.” Ke ma inge el sang inen tulik sac Naphtali.
about whom Rachel said, “God has compared me with my sister, and I have prevailed.” And she called him Naphtali.
9 Ke Leah el akilenak lah tui orek tulik lal, el eisalang Zilpah, mutan kulansap lal, nu sel Jacob, tuh in oana mutan se kial.
Leah, perceiving that she had desisted from child-bearing, delivered Zilpah, her handmaid, to her husband.
10 Na Zilpah el oswela wen se nu sel Jacob.
And she, after having borne a son with difficulty,
11 Leah el fahk, “Wola ouiyuk.” Ouinge el sang inen tulik sac Gad.
said: “Happiness!” And for this reason, she called his name Gad.
12 Zilpah el sifilpa osweang wen se nu sel Jacob,
Likewise, Zilpah bore another.
13 na Leah el fahk, “Arulana yohk engan luk! Inge mutan uh ac pangonyu engan.” Ouinge el sang inen tulik sac Asher.
And Leah said, “This one is for my happiness. Indeed, women will call me blessed.” Because of this, she called him Asher.
14 Ke pacl in kosrani wheat, Reuben el som nu inima uh tuh konauk kutu mandrake, na el us tuku nu yorol Leah, nina kial. Ac Rachel el fahk nu sel Leah, “Nunak munas, se nak kutu mandrake ma tulik nutum an us tuku an.”
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 Leah el topuk, “Mea tia fal tari ke kom eisla mukul tumuk ah? A inge kom srike in eisla mandrake lun wen nutik uh.” Na Rachel el fahk, “Kom fin ase mandrake lun wen nutum an, na kom ku in ona yorol Jacob ofong.”
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 Ke Jacob el foloko liki inima uh ke ekela, Leah el illa in osun nu sel ac fahk, “Kom ac motul yuruk ofong, mweyen nga molikomla tari ke mandrake lun wen nutik.” Ke ma inge Jacob el motulla yorol Leah ke fong sac.
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 God El topuk pre lal Leah, ac el sifilpa pitutuyak ac osweang nu sel Jacob wen se aklimekosr.
And God heard her prayers. And she conceived and bore a fifth son.
18 Leah el fahk, “God El ase nu sik sie ma lacne, mweyen nga sang mutan kulansap luk nu sin mukul tumuk.” Ouinge el sang inen wen se natul inge Issachar.
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 Leah el sifilpa pitutuyak ac oswela wen se akonkosr nu sel Jacob.
Conceiving again, Leah bore a sixth son.
20 Ac el fahk, “God El ase nu sik sie mwe kite na wowo. Inge mukul tumuk uh ac eisyu, mweyen nga osweang nu sel wen onkosr.” Ke ma inge el sang inel Zebulun.
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 Toko el oswela tulik mutan se, ac sang inel Dinah.
After him, she bore a daughter, named Dinah.
22 Na God El esamulak Rachel. El topuk pre lal ac oru elan ku in isus.
The Lord, likewise remembering Rachel, heeded her and opened her womb.
23 El pitutuyak ac oswela wen se. Na el fahk, “God El eisla mwekin luk ac ase wen se nutik.”
And she conceived and bore a son, saying, “God has taken away my reproach.”
24 “Finsrak LEUM GOD Elan ku in sifilpa ase sie wen ah nutik.” Ouinge el sang inen tulik sac Joseph.
And she called his name Joseph, saying, “The Lord has added to me another son.”
25 Tukun isusla lal Joseph, Jacob el fahk nu sel Laban, “Filiyula nga in folokla nu yen sik.
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 Ase mutan kiuk ac tulik nutik su nga kulansap nu sum kac, ac nga fah som. Kom arulana etu woiyen orekma luk ke nga kulansap nu sum.”
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 Laban el fahk nu sel, “Ngan fahkwin ma se: Nga konauk ke susfa lah LEUM GOD El akinsewowoyeyu ke sripom.
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 Fahkma sie lupan mol an nu ke orekma lom, ac nga fah moli kom kac, kom in mau mutana yuruk.”
Choose your wages, which I will give you.”
29 Ac Jacob el fahk, “Kom etu na ouiyen orekma luk nu sum, ac lupan puseni lun un kosro nutum ke pacl nga karingin ah.
But he responded: “You know how I have served you, and how great your possession became in my hands.
30 Meet liki nga tuku ah, supus kosro nutum, ac inge arulana pukanteni. Ac LEUM GOD El akinsewowoye kom in acn nukewa nga kulansupwekom we. Inge pacl fal nu sik in suk ma ac wo nu sik ac sou luk.”
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 Na Laban el sifil pacna siyuk, “Lupa su kom lungse ngan moli kom kac uh?” Ac Jacob el topuk, “Nga tia lungse kutena kain in moul, tuh nga ac srakna karingin un kosro nutum kom fin insese nu ke nunak se luk inge:
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 Fuhlela nga in som ac fahsr inmasrlon un kosro nutum nukewa misenge, ac srela sheep fusr sroalsroal nukewa, ac nani fusr ma tuhntun nukewa. Ac pa na ingan molin orekma luk uh.
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 Ke pacl fahsru ac fisrasr nu sum in konauk lah nga pwaye in kulansap luk uh ku tia. Ke pacl kom ac tuku in liye molin orekma luk uh, fin oasr nani ma tia tuhntun ku sheep ma tia sroalsroal yuruk, kom ac etu na lah ma pusrla.”
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 Laban el fahk, “Wona. Kut ac oru oana ma kom fahk an.”
And Laban said, “I hold favor for this request.”
35 Tusruktu, ke len sac pacna Laban el usla nani mukul ma tuhntun ac ma mutan nukewa ma oasr tuhn fasrfasr kac. El oayapa usla sheep sroalsroal nukewa, ac el sang wen natul in liyaung ma inge.
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 Na el som lukel Jacob wi kosro ma el eisla uh, ac fahsr ke lusa se ma el ac ku in fahsr ke len tolu. Jacob el mutana karingin ma lula ke un kosro natul Laban.
And he established a distance of three days journey between himself and his son-in-law, who pastured the remainder of his flock.
37 Jacob el eis kutu lesak moul ke sak poplar, sak almond, ac sak plane, ac kolosla kutu kolo ah liki, tuh lesak uh fah oasr koa fasrfasr oan kac.
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 El kaskiya lesak inge ye mutun un kosro uh ke acn in nim kof lalos. El filiya lesak inge we, mweyen kosro inge ac tutu we ke pacl elos tuku in nim kof uh.
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 Ouinge ke nani uh ac forang nu ke lesak inge ke elos afanuki, fahkolos ac tuhntun.
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 Jacob el taran na sheep uh in srisrila liki nani uh, ac oru tuh elos in tu ngetang nu yurin kosro tuhntun ac kosro sroalsroal ke u in kosro natul Laban uh. Ke el oru ouinge uh, el akpusye un kosro natul sifacna, ac srela liki ma natul Laban.
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 Ke kosro ma ku ikwa uh ac afanuki uh, Jacob el ac filiya lesak uh ye mutalos ke acn in nim kof lalos, kosro inge in mau tutu in masrlon lesak inge.
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 Tusruktu el tiana filiya lesak ye mutun kosro ma munas ikwa uh. Ouinge sikyak tuh na kosro munas nukewa ma natul Laban, ac ma ku ikwa nukewa ma natul Jacob.
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 Ke ouinge uh, Jacob el arulana kasrupi. Pukanteni u in kosro natul, mwet kulansap lal, oayapa camel ac donkey.
And the man was enriched beyond limit, and he had many flocks, women servants and men servants, camels and donkeys.
