Genesisy 29
1 Dia niainga Jakoba ka nankany amin’ ny tanin’ ny zanaky ny atsinanana.
Then Jacob lifted up his feet, —and went his way towards the land of the sons of the East.
2 Dia nijery izy, ka, indro, nisy lavaka fantsakana tany an-tsaha, ary, indro, nisy ondry aman’ osy telo, dia nandry teo anilany; fa teo amin’ izany lavaka fantsakana izany no fampisotroan’ ny olona ny andian’ ny ondry aman’ osy; ary lehibe ny vato teo am-bavan’ ny fantsakana.
And he looked, and lo! a well, in the field and lo! there, three flocks of sheep, lying down near it, for out of that well, do they water the flocks, but, the stone, is great, on the mouth of the well:
3 Ary nangonina teo ny andian’ ny ondry aman’ osy rehetra, dia nakodian’ ny olona ny vato hiala amin’ ny vavan’ ny lavaka fantsakana, ka nampisotroiny ny ondry aman’ osy; ary dia naveriny indray ny Vato ho eo am-bavan’ ny lavaka fantsakana ho amin’ ny fitoerany.
so they gather together thither all the flocks, and roll away the stone from off the mouth of the well, and water the sheep, —and put back the stone upon the mouth of the well, to its place.
4 Ary hoy Jakoba tamin’ ny olona: Ry rahalahiko, avy aiza moa ianareo? Ary hoy ireo: Avy any Harana izahay.
And Jacob said to them, My brethren, whence are ye? And they said: From haran, are we.
5 Ary hoy izy taminy: Moa mba fantatrareo va Labana, zanakalahin’ i Nahora? Dia hoy izy: Fantatray ihany.
And he said to them, Know ye Laban, son of Nahor? And they said, We know him.
6 Ary hoy izy taminy: Tsara ihany va izy? Dia hoy izy: Tsara ihany izy; ary, indro, tamy Rahely zananivavy mitondra ny ondry aman’ osy.
And he said to them, Is it well with him? And they said, Well, but lo! Rachel his daughter, coming in with the sheep.
7 Ary hoy izy: Indro, mbola antoandrobe ny andro, ka tsy mbola mby amin’ ny fotoana famoriana ny omby aman’ ondry; ampisotroy ny ondry aman’ osy, dia andeha, andraso.
And he said Lo! the day is yet high, it is not time for gathering together the cattle, —water the sheep, and go feed.
8 Dia hoy izy: Tsy azonay hatao izany, raha tsy efa tafangona avokoa ny andian’ ny ondry aman’ osy rehetra, ka hakodian’ ny olona ny vato hiala amin’ ny vavan’ ny lavaka fantsakana; dia vao hampisotro ny ondry aman’ osy izahay.
And they said, We cannot, until that all the flocks are gathered together, and they roll away the stone, from off the mouth of the well, —and then can we water the sheep.
9 Raha mbola niteny taminy izy; dia, indro, tamy Rahely nitondra ny ondry aman’ osin-drainy; fa mpiandry ondry izy.
While yet he was speaking with them, Rachel, had come in with the sheep which belonged to her father, for a shepherdess, was she.
10 Ary rehefa hitan’ i Jakoba Rahely, zanakavavin’ i Labana anadahin-dreniny, sy ny ondry aman’ osin’ i Labana anadahin-dreniny, dia nanatona izy ka nanakodia ny vato hiala tamin’ ny vavan’ ny lavaka fantsakana, dia nampisotro ny ondry aman’ osin’ i Labana anadahin-dreniny izy.
And it came to pass when Jacob saw Rachel daughter of Laban, his mother’s brother, and the sheep of Laban, his mother’s brother, that Jacob went near, and rolled away the stone from off the mouth of the well, and watered the sheep of Laban his mother’s brother,
11 Ary Jakoba nanoroka an-dRahely, dia nanandrata ny feony ka nitomany.
And Jacob kissed Rachel, —and lifted up his voice, and wept.
12 Dia nambaran’ i Jakoba tamin-dRahely fa havan-drainy sy zana-dRebeka izy; dia nihazakazaka Rahely nanambara izany tamin-drainy.
And when Jacob told Rachel that he was her father’s brother, and that he was Rebekah’s son, then ran she, and told her father.
13 Ary rehefa ren’ i Labana ny filazany an’ i Jakoba, zanak’ anabaviny, dia nihazakazaka nitsena azy izy ka namihina azy sy nanoroka azy ary nitondra azy ho any an-tranony. Dia nambaran’ i Jakoba tamin’ i Labana izany rehetra izany.
And it came to pass when Laban heard the tidings of Jacob his sister’s son, that he ran to meet him, and embraced him, and fondly kissed him, and brought him into his house, —when he recounted to Laban all these things.
14 Ary hoy Labana taminy: Taolako sy nofoko tokoa ianao. Ary rehefa nitoetra tao aminy andro iray volana Jakoba,
And Laban said to him, Surely, my bone and my flesh, art thou. So he abode with him a month of days.
15 dia hoy Labana taminy: Moa na dia rahalahiko aza ianao, dia hanompo ahy maina va? Lazao amiko izay ho karamanao.
Then said Laban to Jacob, Is it because my brother, thou art, that thou shouldst serve me for naught? Come tell me! What shall be thy wages?
16 Ary Labana nanan-janaka roa vavy: Lea no anaran’ ny zokiny, ary Rahely no anaran’ ny zandriny.
Now, Laban, had two daughters, —the name of the elder, Leah, and the name of the younger, Rachel,
17 Ary Lea nalemy maso; fa Rahely bikàna sady tsara tarehy.
But, the eyes of Leah were weak, —whereas, Rachel, was comely in form and comely in countenance.
18 Ary Jakoba tia an-dRahely ka nanao hoe: Hanompo anao fito taona aho hahazoako an-dRahely, zanakao faravavy.
So Jacob loved Rachel, —and he said, I will serve thee seven years, for Rachel thy younger daughter.
19 Ary hoy Labana: Aleoko homena anao izy, toy izay homena lehilahy hafa; tomoera eto amiko.
And Laban said, Better that I give her to thee, than that I should give her to another man, —Abide with me!
20 Dia nanompo an’ i Labana fito taona Jakoba hahazoany an-dRahely; ary toa andro vitsy foana teo imasony izany noho ny fitiavany azy.
So Jacob served for Rachel—seven years, —and they became, in his eyes, as single days, for his love to her.
21 Ary hoy Jakoba tamin’ i Labana: Aiza ny vadiko, mba hanambadiako azy? fa efa tapitra ny fetr’ androko.
Then said Jacob unto Laban: Come give me my wife, for fulfilled are my days, —that I may go in unto her.
22 Ary nampamory ny tompon-tany rehetra Labana ka nanao fanasana.
So Laban gathered together all the men of the place and made a banquet,
23 Kanjo nony hariva dia naka an’ i Lea zananivavy izy ka nitondra azy ho any amin’ i Jakoba; dia nanambady azy Jakoba.
And it came to pass in the evening, that he took Leah his daughter and brought her in unto him, —and he went in unto her.
24 Ary nomen’ i Labana an’ i Lea zananivavy Zilpa ankizivaviny hanompo azy.
And Laban gave her Zilpah, his handmaid, unto Leah his daughter. as handmaid.
25 Ary nony efa maraina ny andro, indro fa Lea izy; dia hoy Jakoba tamin’ i Labana: Ahoana izao nataonao tamiko izao? Moa tsy Rahely va no nanompoako anao? Ka nahoana no nofitahinao aho?
And it came to pass in the morning, that lo! it was Leah, —and he said unto Laban, What is this thou hast done to me? Was it not, for Rachel, I served with thee? Wherefore then hast thou deceived me?
26 Dia hoy Labana: Tsy fanao atỳ amin’ ny taninay ny mamoaka ny zandriny alohan’ ny zokiny.
And Laban said, It must not be done so in our place, —to give the later-born before the firstborn.
27 Tanteraho ny herinandron’ ity anankiray ity, dia homenay anao koa ny anankiray noho ny fanompoana izay mbola hanompoanao ahy fito taona indray.
Fulfil the week of this one, —then must we give thee, the other one also, for the service wherewith thou shalt serve with me, yet seven years more.
28 Dia nataon’ i Jakoba izany, ka notanterahiny ny herinandrony; dia nomen’ i Labana azy koa Rahely zananivavy ho vadiny.
And Jacob did so, and fulfilled the week of this one, —and he gave him Rachel his daughter—to him to wife.
29 Ary nomen’ i Labana an-dRahely zananivavy kosa Bila ankizivaviny hanompo azy.
And Laban gave to Rachel his daughter Bilhah his handmaid, —to be hers as a handmaid.
30 Dia novadin’ i Jakoba koa Rahely; ary izy no tiany mihoatra noho Lea; dia nanompo an’ i Labana fito taona indray izy.
So he went in, unto Rachel also, and loved, Rachel also, more than Leah, —and he served with him, yet seven years more.
31 Ary rehefa hitan’ i Jehovah fa nankahalaina Lea, dia nampanan’ anaka azy Izy; fa momba kosa Rahely.
And, when Yahweh saw that Leah was hated, he granted her to bear children, —whereas, Rachel, was barren.
32 Dia nanan’ anaka Lea ka niteraka zazalahy, ary ny anarany dia nataony hoe Robena; fa hoy izy: Efa nitsinjo ny fahoriako Jehovah, fa ankehitriny dia ho tian’ ny vadiko aho.
So Leah conceived, and bare a son, and called his name Reuben, —for she said, Because, Yahweh hath looked upon my humiliation, For, now, will my husband love me.
33 Dia nanan’ anaka indray izy ka niteraka zazalahy; ary hoy izy: Satria ren’ i Jehovah fa efa nankalahaina aho, dia nomeny ahy koa ity; dia nataony hoe Simeona ny anarany.
And she conceived again, and bare a son, and said. Because Yahweh heard that, I, was hated, he gave me, this one also. So she called his name Simeon.
34 Dia nanan’ anaka indray izy ka niteraka zazalahy; ary hoy izy: Ankehitriny izao dia hikambana amiko ny vadiko, fa efa niteraka zazalahy telo ho azy aho; izany no nanaovana ny anarany hoe Levy.
And she conceived again and bare a son, and said, Now—this time, will my husband be bound unto me, For I have borne him three sons, —For this cause, called she his name Levi.
35 Dia nanan’ anaka indray izy ka niteraka zazalahy; ary hoy izy: Ankehitriny dia hidera an’ i Jehovah aho; izany no nanaovany ny anarany hoe Joda; dia nitsaha-jaza izy.
And she conceived again and bare a son, and said This time, will I praise Yahweh, For which cause, she called his name Judah. And she left off bearing.
