1 Awo Yakobo ne yeeyongerayo mu lugendo lwe, n’atuuka mu nsi y’abantu b’ebuvanjuba.
Therfor Jacob passide forth, and cam in to the eest lond;
2 Bwe yatunula n’alaba oluzzi mu nnimiro, ng’ebisibo bisatu eby’endiga zigalamidde awo ku lwo, kubanga awo we zaanywesezebwanga. Ejjinja eryasaanikiranga ku mumwa gw’oluzzi olwo lyali ddene,
and seiy a pit in the feeld, and thre flockis of scheep restynge bisidis it, for whi scheep weren watrid therof, and the mouth therof was closid with a greet stoon.
3 era ebisibo bwe byakuŋŋaananga, abasumba ne balyoka baliyiringisa okuliggya ku mumwa gw’oluzzi ne banywesa endiga; bwe zaamalanga ne balizzaako.
And the custom was that whanne alle scheep weren gaderid togidere, thei schulden turne awei the stoon, and whanne the flockis weren fillid thei schulden put it eft on the mouth of the pit.
4 Awo Yakobo n’abuuza abasumba nti, “Abooluganda muva wa?” Ne bamuddamu nti, “Tuva Kalani.”
And Jacob seide to the scheepherdis, Brithren, of whennus ben ye? Whiche answeriden, Of Aran.
5 Kwe kubabuuza nti, “Labbaani mutabani wa Nakoli mumumanyi?” Ne bamuddamu nti, “Tumumanyi.”
And he axide hem and seide, Wher ye knowen Laban, the sone of Nachor? Thei seiden, We knowen.
6 N’abuuza nti, “Ali bulungi?” Ne baddamu nti, “Ali bulungi, era laba Laakeeri muwala we wuuli ajja n’endiga!”
Jacob seide, Is he hool? Thei seiden, He is in good staat; and lo! Rachel, his douytir, cometh with his flok.
7 N’abagamba nti, “Mulabe, obudde bukyali bwa ttuntu, ekiseera tekinnatuuka okukuŋŋaanya ensolo awamu, muzinywese mulyoke mugende muzirunde.”
And Jacob seide, Yit myche of the dai is to come, and it is not tyme that the flockis be led ayen to the fooldis; sotheli yyue ye drynk to the scheep, and so lede ye hem ayen to mete.
8 Bo kwe kumuddamu nti, “Ekyo tetusobola kukikola ng’ebisibo byonna tebinnakuŋŋaanyizibwa, nga n’ejjinja terinaggyibwa ku mumwa gw’oluzzi, olwo ne tunywesa endiga.”
Whiche answeriden, We moun not til alle scheep be gederid to gidere, and til we remouen the stoon fro the mouth of the pit to watir the flockis.
9 Yakobo bwe yali akyayogera nabo, Laakeeri n’atuuka n’endiga za kitaawe. Kubanga ye yali azirunda.
Yit thei spaken, and lo! Rachel cam with the scheep of hir fadir.
10 Yakobo bwe yalaba Laakeeri, muwala wa Labbaani, mwannyina nnyina, n’endiga za Labbaani, n’agenda n’ayiringisa ejjinja okuva ku mumwa gw’oluzzi n’anywesa endiga za Labbaani.
And whanne Jacob seiy hir, and knewe the douytir of his modris brothir, and the scheep of Laban his vncle, he remeuyde the stoon with which the pit was closid;
11 Yakobo n’alyoka agwa Laakeeri mu kifuba, n’ayimusa eddoboozi n’akaaba.
and whanne the flok was watrid, he kisside hir, and he wepte with `vois reisid.
12 Yakobo n’alyoka ategeeza Laakeeri nti, waluganda ne kitaawe, era ye mutabani wa Lebbeeka. Laakeeri kwe kudduka n’ategeeza kitaawe.
And he schewide to hir that he was the brothir of hir fadir, and the sone of Rebecca; and sche hastide, and telde to hir fadir.
13 Awo Labbaani bwe yawulira ebya Yakobo, mutabani wa mwannyina, n’adduka okumusisinkana, n’amugwa mu kifuba n’amulamusa bulungi, n’amutwala mu nnyumba ye. Yakobo n’ategeeza Labbaani byonna ebyaliwo.
And whanne he hadde herd, that Jacob, the sone of his sistir, cam, he ran ayens hym, and he biclippide Jacob and kisside hym, and ledde in to his hows. Forsothe whanne the causis of the iurney weren herd,
14 Labbaani n’agamba nti, “Mazima oli ggumba lyange, era nnyama ya mubiri gwange! N’abeera naye omwezi mulamba.”
Laban answeride, Thou art my boon and my fleisch. And aftir that the daies of o moneth weren fillid, Laban seide to him,
15 Awo Labbaani n’agamba Yakobo nti, “Olw’okubanga oli waluganda ky’onoova ompeerereza obwereere? Ntegeeza empeera yo bw’eneebanga.”
`Whethir for thou art my brothir, thou schalt serue me frely? seie thou what mede thou schalt take.
16 Labbaani yalina bawala be babiri; erinnya ly’omukulu nga ye Leeya ne ly’omuto nga ye Laakeeri.
Forsothe Laban hadde twei douytris, the name of the more was Lya, sotheli the lesse was clepid Rachel;
17 Leeya yali manafu, kyokka ye Laakeeri nga mulungi era nga w’amaanyi.
but Lya was blere iyed, Rachel was of fair face, and semeli in siyt.
18 Yakobo yayagala Laakeeri, era n’agamba Labbaani nti, “Nzija kukuweereza emyaka musanvu olwa muwala wo omuto Laakeeri.”
And Jacob louede Rachel, and seide, Y schal serue thee seuene yeer for Rachel thi lesse douytir.
19 Labbaani kwe kumuddamu nti, “Kituufu okumuwa ggwe ne ssimuwa musajja mulala yenna. Beera nange.”
Laban answeride, It is betere that Y yyue hir to thee than to anothir man; dwelle thou at me.
20 Bw’atyo Yakobo n’akolerera Laakeeri emyaka musanvu, naye ne giba ng’ennaku obunaku gy’ali kubanga yamwagala nnyo.
Therfor Jacob seruyde seuene yeer for Rachel; and the daies semyden fewe to hym for the greetnesse of loue.
21 Awo Yakobo n’agamba Labbaani nti, “Kale mpa mukazi wange, mmutwale, kubanga ekiseera kye twalagaana nkimazeeko.”
And he seide to Laban, Yyue thou my wijf to me, for the tyme is fillid that Y entre to hir.
22 Labbaani kwe kukuŋŋaanya abantu b’ekifo ekyo, n’akola embaga.
And whanne many cumpenyes of freendis weren clepid to the feeste, he made weddyngis,
23 Naye mu kiro Labbaani n’atwala muwala we Leeya n’amuwa Yakobo okumutwala okuba mukazi we.
and in the euentid Laban brouyte in to hym Lya his douytir,
24 Labbaani yali awadde Leeya Zirupa amuweerezenga.
and yaf an handmaide, Selfa bi name, to the douyter. And whanne Jacob hadde entrid to hir bi custom, whanne the morewtid was maad, he seiy Lya,
25 Bwe bwakya, Yakobo n’alaba nga bamuwadde Leeya. Kwe kugamba Labbaani nti, “Onkoze ki kino? Saakuweereza lwa Laakeeri? Kale lwaki onimbye?”
and seide to his wyues fadir, What is it that thou woldist do? wher Y seruede not thee for Rachel? whi hast thou disseyued me?
26 Labbaani n’amuddamu nti, “Mu nsi yaffe tekiri mu buwangwa bwaffe, omuto okusooka omukulu okufumbirwa.
Laban answerde, It is not custom in oure place that we yyue first the `lesse douytris to weddyngis;
27 Sooka omale n’ono wiiki eno emu, n’oli tugenda kumukuwa; kyokka olimukolerera okumala emyaka emirala musanvu.”
fille thou the wouke of daies of this couplyng, and Y schal yyue to thee also this Rachel, for the werk in which thou schalt serue me bi othere seuene yeer.
28 Ekyo Yakobo n’akikkiriza, n’amalako wiiki emu eyo, Labbaani n’alyoka amuwa Laakeeri muwala we okuba mukazi we.
Jacob assentide to the couenaunt, and whanne the wouke was passid,
29 Labbaani n’awa Laakeeri Biira amuweerezenga.
he weddide Rachel, to whom the fadir hadde youe Bala seruauntesse.
30 Yakobo n’atwala Laakeeri n’aba mukazi we; n’ayagala Laakeeri okusinga Leeya, n’aweereza Labbaani emyaka egyo emirala omusanvu.
And at the laste he vside the weddyngis desirid, and settide the loue of the `wijf suynge bifore the former; and he seruede at Laban seuene othere yeer.
31 Mukama bwe yalaba nga Leeya akyayibbwa n’aggula olubuto lwe. Laakeeri ye yali mugumba.
Forsothe the Lord seiy that he dispiside Lya, and openyde hir wombe while the sistir dwellide bareyn.
32 Leeya n’aba olubuto, n’azaala omwana wabulenzi. N’amutuuma erinnya Lewubeeni, ng’agamba nti, “Kubanga Mukama alabye okubonyaabonyezebwa kwange: ddala baze ananjagala.”
And Lia childide a sone conseyued, and clepide his name Ruben, and seide, The Lord seiy my mekenesse; now myn hosebonde schal loue me.
33 N’aba olubuto olulala, n’azaala omwana mulenzi, n’agamba nti, “Kubanga Mukama alabye nga ndi mukyawe, kyavudde ampa omwana owoobulenzi omulala; n’amutuuma erinnya Simyoni.”
And eft sche conseyuede, `and childide a sone, and seide, For the Lord seiy that Y was dispisid, he yaf also this sone to me; and sche clepide his name Symeon.
34 Ate n’aba olubuto n’azaala omwana mulenzi, n’agamba nti, “Kale kaakano baze ajja kuba bumu nange, kubanga mmuzaalidde abaana abalenzi basatu.” Omwana kyeyava atuumwa Leevi.
And sche conseyuede the thridde tyme, and childide anothir sone, and she seide also, Now myn hosebonde schal be couplid to me, for Y childide thre sones to him; and therfor sche clepide his name Leuy.
35 Era Leeya n’aba olubuto n’azaala omwana wabulenzi, n’agamba nti, “Ku luno nzija kutendereza Mukama,” kyeyava amutuuma Yuda; n’alekayo okuzaala.
The fourthe tyme sche conseyuede, and childide a sone, and seide, Now I schal knouleche to the Lord; and herfor she clepide his name Judas; and ceesside to childe.
