Genesisy 29
1 Dia niainga Jakoba ka nankany amin’ ny tanin’ ny zanaky ny atsinanana.
And Jacob lifteth up his feet, and goeth 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 looketh, and lo, a well in the field, and lo, there three droves of a flock crouching by it, for from that well they water the droves, and the great stone [is] 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.
(When thither have all the droves been gathered, and they have rolled the stone from off the mouth of the well, and have watered the flock, then they have turned back the stone on 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 saith to them, 'My brethren, from whence [are] ye?' and they say, 'We [are] from Haran.'
5 Ary hoy izy taminy: Moa mba fantatrareo va Labana, zanakalahin’ i Nahora? Dia hoy izy: Fantatray ihany.
And he saith to them, 'Have ye known Laban, son of Nahor?' and they say, 'We have known.'
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 saith to them, 'Hath he peace?' and they say, 'Peace; and lo, Rachel his daughter is coming with the flock.'
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 saith, 'Lo, the day [is] still great, [it is] not time for the cattle to be gathered; water ye the flock, and go, delight yourselves.'
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 say, 'We are not able, till that all the droves be gathered together, and they have rolled away the stone from the mouth of the well, and we have watered the flock.'
9 Raha mbola niteny taminy izy; dia, indro, tamy Rahely nitondra ny ondry aman’ osin-drainy; fa mpiandry ondry izy.
He is yet speaking with them, and Rachel hath come with the flock which her father hath, for she [is] shepherdess;
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 cometh to pass when Jacob hath seen Rachel, daughter of Laban his mother's brother, and the flock of Laban his mother's brother, that Jacob cometh nigh and rolleth the stone from off the mouth of the well, and watereth the flock of Laban his mother's brother.
11 Ary Jakoba nanoroka an-dRahely, dia nanandrata ny feony ka nitomany.
And Jacob kisseth Rachel, and lifteth up his voice, and weepeth,
12 Dia nambaran’ i Jakoba tamin-dRahely fa havan-drainy sy zana-dRebeka izy; dia nihazakazaka Rahely nanambara izany tamin-drainy.
and Jacob declareth to Rachel that he [is] her father's brother, and that he [is] Rebekah's son, and she runneth and declareth to 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 cometh to pass, when Laban heareth the report of Jacob his sister's son, that he runneth to meet him, and embraceth him, and kisseth him, and bringeth him in unto his house; and he recounteth 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 saith to him, 'Only my bone and my flesh [art] thou;' and he dwelleth 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.
And Laban saith to Jacob, 'Is it because thou [art] my brother that thou hast served me for nought? declare to me what [is] thy hire.'
16 Ary Labana nanan-janaka roa vavy: Lea no anaran’ ny zokiny, ary Rahely no anaran’ ny zandriny.
And Laban hath two daughters, the name of the elder [is] Leah, and the name of the younger Rachel,
17 Ary Lea nalemy maso; fa Rahely bikàna sady tsara tarehy.
and the eyes of Leah [are] tender, and Rachel hath been fair of form and fair of appearance.
18 Ary Jakoba tia an-dRahely ka nanao hoe: Hanompo anao fito taona aho hahazoako an-dRahely, zanakao faravavy.
And Jacob loveth Rachel, and saith, 'I 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 saith, 'It is better for me to give her to thee than to give her to another man; dwell 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.
and Jacob serveth for Rachel seven years; and they are in his eyes as some days, because of his loving her.
21 Ary hoy Jakoba tamin’ i Labana: Aiza ny vadiko, mba hanambadiako azy? fa efa tapitra ny fetr’ androko.
And Jacob saith unto Laban, 'Give up my wife, for my days have been fulfilled, and I go in unto her;'
22 Ary nampamory ny tompon-tany rehetra Labana ka nanao fanasana.
and Laban gathereth all the men of the place, and maketh 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 cometh to pass in the evening, that he taketh Leah, his daughter, and bringeth her in unto him, and he goeth in unto her;
24 Ary nomen’ i Labana an’ i Lea zananivavy Zilpa ankizivaviny hanompo azy.
and Laban giveth to her Zilpah, his maid-servant, to Leah his daughter, a maid-servant.
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 cometh to pass in the morning, that lo, it [is] Leah; and he saith unto Laban, 'What [is] this thou hast done to me? for Rachel have I not served with thee? and why hast thou deceived me?'
26 Dia hoy Labana: Tsy fanao atỳ amin’ ny taninay ny mamoaka ny zandriny alohan’ ny zokiny.
And Laban saith, 'It is not done so in our place, to give the younger before the first-born;
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, and we give to thee also this one, for the service which thou dost serve with me yet seven other years.'
28 Dia nataon’ i Jakoba izany, ka notanterahiny ny herinandrony; dia nomen’ i Labana azy koa Rahely zananivavy ho vadiny.
And Jacob doth so, and fulfilleth the week of this one, and he giveth to him Rachel his daughter, to him for a wife;
29 Ary nomen’ i Labana an-dRahely zananivavy kosa Bila ankizivaviny hanompo azy.
and Laban giveth to Rachel his daughter Bilhah his maid-servant, for a maid-servant to her.
30 Dia novadin’ i Jakoba koa Rahely; ary izy no tiany mihoatra noho Lea; dia nanompo an’ i Labana fito taona indray izy.
And he goeth in also unto Rachel, and he also loveth Rachel more than Leah; and he serveth with him yet seven other years.
31 Ary rehefa hitan’ i Jehovah fa nankahalaina Lea, dia nampanan’ anaka azy Izy; fa momba kosa Rahely.
And Jehovah seeth that Leah [is] the hated one, and He openeth her womb, and Rachel [is] 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.
and Leah conceiveth, and beareth a son, and calleth his name Reuben, for she said, 'Because Jehovah hath looked on mine affliction; because now doth 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 conceiveth again, and beareth a son, and saith, 'Because Jehovah hath heard that I [am] the hated one, He also giveth to me even this [one];' and she calleth 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 conceiveth again, and beareth a son, and saith, 'Now [is] the time, my husband is joined unto me, because I have born to him three sons,' therefore hath [one] called 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 conceiveth again, and beareth a son, and saith this time, 'I praise Jehovah;' therefore hath she called his name Judah; and she ceaseth from bearing.
