Olubereberye 30
1 Laakeeri bwe yalaba nga tazaalidde Yakobo baana, n’akwatirwa muganda we obuggya; n’agamba Yakobo nti, “Mpa abaana oba si ekyo nzija kufa!”
And when Rachel saw that she bore Jacob no children, Rachel envied her sister; and she said unto Jacob, Give me children, and if not, I die.
2 Obusungu bwa Yakobo ne bubuubuukira Laakeeri, n’amugamba nti, “Nze Katonda akummye okuzaala?”
And Jacob's anger was kindled against Rachel: and he said, Am I in God's stead, who hath withheld from thee the fruit of the womb?
3 Laakeeri kwe kumwanukula nti, “Omuweereza wange Biira wuuno, weetabe naye azaalire ku maviivi gange, ndyoke nfune abaana nga mpita mu ye.”
And she said, Behold, [here is] my maid Bilhah, go in unto her; and she shall bear upon my knees, that I may also have children by her.
4 N’alyoka amuwa omuweereza we Biira okuba mukazi we, Yakobo ne yeetaba naye.
And she gave him Bilhah her handmaid for wife, and Jacob went in unto her.
5 Biira n’aba olubuto n’azaalira Yakobo omwana owoobulenzi.
And Bilhah conceived, and bore Jacob a son.
6 Awo Laakeeri n’agamba nti, “Katonda ankoze bulungi, n’awulira eddoboozi lyange, n’ampa omwana owoobulenzi.” Kyeyava amutuuma Ddaani.
And Rachel said, God hath judged me, and hath also heard my voice, and hath given me a son: therefore called she his name Dan.
7 Biira omuweereza omukazi owa Laakeeri n’aba olubuto ate, n’azaalira Yakobo omwana owoobulenzi owookubiri.
And Bilhah, Rachel's maid, conceived again, and bore Jacob a second son.
8 Laakeeri n’alyoka agamba nti, “Nnwanye ne muganda wange okulwana okw’amaanyi era mpangudde;” omwana kyeyava amutuuma Nafutaali.
And Rachel said, Contests of God have I contended with my sister, I have also prevailed: and she called his name Naphtali.
9 Awo Leeya bwe yalaba akomye okuzaala, n’addira omuweereza we Zirupa n’amuwa Yakobo abe mukazi we.
When Leah now saw that she had left off bearing, she took Zilpah her maid, and gave her to Jacob for wife.
10 Zirupa omuweereza wa Leeya n’alyoka azaalira Yakobo omwana owoobulenzi;
And Zilpah Leah's maid bore Jacob a son.
11 Leeya n’agamba nti, “Guno mukisa gwennyini!” Kwe kumutuuma Gaadi.
And Leah said, Good luck hath come: and she called his name Gad.
12 Ate Zirupa omuweereza wa Leeya n’azaalira Yakobo omwana owoobulenzi owookubiri.
And Zilpah Leah's maid bore a second son unto Jacob.
13 Leeya n’agamba nti, “Neesiimye! Kubanga abakazi banampita wa mukisa;” kyeyava amutuuma Aseri.
And Leah said, To my happiness; for the daughters will call me blessed: and she called his name Asher.
14 Lumu mu biseera eby’amakungula g’eŋŋaano Lewubeeni n’agenda mu nnimiro, n’anoga amadudayimu, n’agaleetera nnyina Leeya. Laakeeri n’agamba Leeya nti, “Nkusaba ompe ku madudayimu g’omwana wo.”
And Reuben went in the days of the wheat harvest, and found mandrakes in the field, and he brought them unto Leah his mother; then Rachel said to Leah, Give me, I pray thee, [some] of thy son's mandrakes.
15 Kyokka ye n’amuddamu nti, “Okiyita kitono ggwe okunnyagako baze? Ate otwale n’amadudayimu g’omwana wange?” Laakeeri n’amugamba nti, “Kale anaaba naawe ekiro kino olw’amadudayimu g’omwana wo.”
And she said unto her, Is it not enough that thou hast taken my husband? and wouldst thou also take away my son's mandrakes? And Rachel said, Therefore shall he be with thee to-night for thy son's mandrakes.
16 Yakobo bwe yakomawo okuva mu nnimiro akawungeezi, Leeya n’afuluma okumusisinkana, n’amugamba nti, “Weetabe nange, kubanga nkuguze n’amadudayimu g’omwana wange.” Kwe kwetaba naye.
And Jacob came out of the field in the evening, and Leah went out to meet him, and said, Unto me thou must come in; for surely I have obtained thee as a reward with my son's mandrakes. And he lay with her that night.
17 Katonda n’awulira Leeya, n’aba olubuto, n’azaalira Yakobo omwana owoobulenzi owookutaano.
And God hearkened unto Leah, and she conceived and bore Jacob a fifth son.
18 Leeya n’agamba nti, “Katonda ansasudde empeera yange, kubanga nawa baze, omuweereza wange,” omwana kyeyava amutuuma Isakaali.
And Leah said, God hath given me my reward, because I have given my maid to my husband: and she called his name Issachar.
19 Leeya n’aba olubuto ate, n’azaalira Yakobo Omwana owoobulenzi ow’omukaaga.
And Leah conceived again, and bore a sixth son unto Jacob.
20 Leeya kwe kugamba nti, “Katonda ampadde ekirabo, kaakano baze anaabanga nange, kubanga muzaalidde abaana aboobulenzi mukaaga.” Ow’omukaaga kyeyava amutuuma Zebbulooni.
And Leah said, God hath endued me with a good dowry; now will my husband dwell with me, because I have borne him six sons; and she called his name Zebulun.
21 Oluvannyuma n’azaala omwana owoobuwala, n’amutuuma Dina.
And afterward she bore a daughter, and she called her name Dinah.
22 Ate Katonda n’ajjukira Laakeeri, n’amuwulira n’aggula olubuto lwe.
And God remembered Rachel, and God hearkened to her, and opened her womb.
23 N’aba olubuto n’azaalira Yakobo omwana owoobulenzi, Laakeeri n’agamba nti, “Katonda anziggyeeko okunyoomebwa;”
And she conceived, and bore a son; and she said, God hath taken away my reproach.
24 n’amutuuma Yusufu, ng’agamba nti, “Mukama annyongere omwana omulenzi.”
And she called his name Joseph, saying, The Lord shall add to me another son.
25 Laakeeri bwe yazaala Yusufu, Yakobo n’agamba Labbaani nti, “Nsiibula, ŋŋende ewaffe mu nsi yaffe.
And it came to pass, when Rachel had borne Joseph, that Jacob said unto Laban, Send me away, that I may go unto my own place, and to my country.
26 Mpa bakazi bange n’abaana bange, be nkuweererezza, ondeke ŋŋende: kubanga omanyi okuweereza kwe nkuweerezza.”
Give me my wives and my children, for whom I have served thee, and let me go; for thou knowest my service with which I have served thee.
27 Labbaani kwe kumuddamu nti, “Nga bwe nfunye omukisa mu ggwe, nkusaba oleme kuva wano, kubanga ndabye nga Mukama yampa omukisa ku bubwo.
And Laban said unto him, If I could but find favor in thy eyes; I have learned by experience that the Lord hath blessed me for thy sake:
28 Ntegeeza empeera yo nange ngikuwe.”
And he said, Appoint me thy wages, and I will give them.
29 Yakobo n’amuddamu nti, “Ggwe kennyini omanyi nti nkuweerezza era n’ensolo zo nga nzaazizza.
And he said unto him, Thou knowest how I have served thee, and what thy cattle hath become with me.
30 Kubanga walina ntono nga sinnajja, naye zeeyongedde nnyo; era Mukama n’akuwa omukisa buli gye n’addanga. Naye kaakano nze ndikolera ddi ennyumba yange?”
For it was a little which thou hadst before I came, and it is now increased into a multitude; and the Lord hath blessed thee since my coming; and now when shall I provide also for my own house?
31 Labbaani kwe ku mubuuza nti, “Nkuwe ki?” Yakobo n’amuddamu nti, “Tojja kubaako ky’ompa, okuggyako okunkolera kino, ndyoke nneeyongere okulunda ekisibo kyo:
And he said, What shall I give thee? And Jacob said, Thou shalt not give me the least; if thou wilt do this thing for me, I will again feed and keep thy flock:
32 nzikiriza mpite mu kisibo kyo leero, nziggyemu buli ndiga enkulu eza bugondo n’eza bitanga, n’endiga ento enzirugavu, n’embuzi eza bugondogondo n’ezabitanga mu mbuzi, era ezo ze zinaabeera empeera yange.
I will pass through all thy flock today, removing from there every speckled and spotted lamb, and every brown lamb among the sheep, and whatever is spotted and speckled among the goats; and such shall be after this my reward.
33 Kale oluvannyuma lwa byonna obutuukirivu bwange bulimpolereza bw’olijja okukebera bw’onsasudde. Bw’olisanga embuzi yonna etali ya bugondogondo n’eya bitanga, oba endiga yonna enkazi enzirugavu eyo eribalibwa nti nnagikubbako.”
And my righteousness shall testify for me in time to come, when it shall come with my reward before thy face: every one that is not speckled and spotted among the goats, and brown among the sheep, that shall be counted stolen with me.
34 Labbaani n’amuddamu nti, “Ekyo kirungi. Kale kibeere bwe kityo nga bw’ogambye.”
And Laban said, Well, let it be according to thy word.
35 Naye ekiro ekyo Labbaani n’aggya mu kisibo embuzi ennume eza biwuuga n’eza bitanga, n’embuzi enkazi zonna eza bugondogondo n’eza bitanga, buli eyalina ebbala eryeru, na buli ndiga nzirugavu n’aziwa abaana be bazirunde;
And he removed on that day the he-goats that were ring-streaked and spotted, and all the she-goats that were speckled and spotted, every one that had some white on it, and all the brown among the sheep, and gave them into the hand of his sons.
36 nga beesudde ebbanga eritambulirwa ennaku ssatu okuva ku ye okutuuka ku Yakobo. Yakobo ye n’alunda ezo ezaasigalawo ku kisibo kya Labbaani.
And he put a space of three days' journey between himself and Jacob; and Jacob fed the flocks of Laban that were left.
37 Awo Yakobo n’addira obuti bw’omulibine omubisi, n’obw’omusakedi, n’obw’omwalamoni n’abususumbulako ebikuta mu bukuubo.
And Jacob took himself rods of green poplar, and of the hazel and chestnut tree; and peeled thereon white streaks, laying bare the white which was on the rods.
38 N’asimba obuti bw’asasambudde mu maaso g’ebisibo ku by’esero ensolo we zanyweranga.
And he set the rods which he had peeled in the gutters in the watering troughs, where the flocks came to drink, just before the flocks, and where they conceived, when they came to drink.
39 Bwe zajjanga okunywa ne ziwakiranga mu maaso g’obuti obwo, ne zizaalanga eza biwuuga, n’eza bugondogondo n’eza bitanga.
And the flocks conceived before the rods, and brought forth ring-streaked, speckled, and spotted.
40 Yakobo n’ayawula ento ne zibeera zokka. Naye endala n’azitunuza okwolekera eza biwuuga n’enzirugavu eza Labbaani. Bw’atyo ne yeekolera ebisibo eby’enjawulo, n’atagatta zize na za Labbaani.
And these lambs did Jacob separate, and set the faces of the flocks toward the ring-streaked, and whatever was brown in the flock of Laban; and he put his own flocks by themselves, and put them not with Laban's cattle.
41 Buli nsolo enkazi ez’amaanyi bwe zaabanga zigenda okuwaka nga Yakobo ateeka ku by’esero obuti bwe buli okwolekera ensolo ezigenda okuwaka, ziwakire okumpi nabwo.
And it came to pass, whensoever the stronger cattle did conceive, that Jacob laid the rods before the eyes of the cattle in the gutters, that they might conceive among the rods.
42 Naye ku nsolo ennafu teyabutekangawo. Olwo ensolo ennafu ne zibanga za Labbaani, zo ez’amaanyi ne zibanga za Yakobo.
But when the cattle were feeble, he put them not in; so the feebler belonged to Laban, and the stronger to Jacob.
43 Mu ngeri eyo Yakobo n’agenda ng’agaggawalira ddala nnyo, n’afuna ebisibo bingi ddala, wamu n’abaweereza abakazi n’abasajja; era n’afuna n’eŋŋamira n’embalaasi.
And the man increased exceedingly, and he had many flocks, and maid-servants, and men-servants, and camels, and asses.
