Genesisy 29
1 Dia niainga Jakoba ka nankany amin’ ny tanin’ ny zanaky ny atsinanana.
UJakhobe waseqhubeka ngohambo lwakhe wayafika elizweni labantu bempumalanga.
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.
Wabona khonale umthombo esiqintini, kulemihlambi yezimvu emithathu ilele eduzane kwawo ngoba imihlambi yayinatha khonapho emthonjeni lowo. Ilitshe elalivale umlomo womthombo lalilikhulu.
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.
Kwakusithi yonke imihlambi ingabuthana khona, abelusi baligiqe ilitshe balisuse emlonyeni womthombo banathise izimvu. Besebelibuyisela ilitshe endaweni yalo emlonyeni womthombo.
4 Ary hoy Jakoba tamin’ ny olona: Ry rahalahiko, avy aiza moa ianareo? Ary hoy ireo: Avy any Harana izahay.
UJakhobe wabuza abelusi wathi, “Bafowethu, livela ngaphi?” Baphendula bathi, “Sivela eHarani.”
5 Ary hoy izy taminy: Moa mba fantatrareo va Labana, zanakalahin’ i Nahora? Dia hoy izy: Fantatray ihany.
Wathi, “Liyamazi yini uLabhani, umzukulu kaNahori?” Baphendula bathi, “Yebo, siyamazi.”
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.
UJakhobe wasebabuza wathi, “Uyaphila yini?” Bathi, “Yebo, uyaphila; nansi indodakazi yakhe uRasheli esiza lezimvu.”
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.
Wathi, “Khangelani, ilanga lilokhu lisemini; akukabi yisikhathi sokuthi imihlambi ibuthwe. Zinathiseni izimvu lezi lizibuyisele emadlelweni.”
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.
Baphendula bathi, “Asingeke, ize iqale iqoqane yonke imihlambi, ilitshe beselisuswa emlonyeni womthombo. Besesizinathisa-ke izimvu.”
9 Raha mbola niteny taminy izy; dia, indro, tamy Rahely nitondra ny ondry aman’ osin-drainy; fa mpiandry ondry izy.
Wathi elokhu esakhuluma labo uRasheli wafika lezimvu zikayise, kalokho wayengumelusi.
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.
UJakhobe wathi ebona uRasheli indodakazi kaLabhani, umnewabo kanina esiza lezimvu zikaLabhani, wahamba wayagiqa ilitshe elalisemlonyeni womthombo wanathisa izimvu zikamalumakhe.
11 Ary Jakoba nanoroka an-dRahely, dia nanandrata ny feony ka nitomany.
UJakhobe wasesanga uRasheli njalo wakhala kakhulu.
12 Dia nambaran’ i Jakoba tamin-dRahely fa havan-drainy sy zana-dRebeka izy; dia nihazakazaka Rahely nanambara izany tamin-drainy.
Wayesemtshelile uRasheli ukuthi wayeyisihlobo sikayise lokuthi wayeyindodana kaRabheka. Ngakho intombi yagijima yayabikela uyise.
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.
ULabhani wonela ukuwuzwa umbiko ngoJakhobe, indodana kadadewabo, wahle waphuthuma wayamhlangabeza. Wamgona, wamanga, wamletha ngekhaya, lapho uJakhobe amtshela khona izinto lezi.
14 Ary hoy Labana taminy: Taolako sy nofoko tokoa ianao. Ary rehefa nitoetra tao aminy andro iray volana Jakoba,
ULabhani wasesithi kuye, “Uyinyama yami legazi lami.” UJakhobe esehlale laye okwenyanga yonke,
15 dia hoy Labana taminy: Moa na dia rahalahiko aza ianao, dia hanompo ahy maina va? Lazao amiko izay ho karamanao.
uLabhani wathi kuye, “Kambe sekungathi ngoba uyisihlobo sami ubusungisebenzela ungaholi lutho? Akungitshele ukuthi umholo wakho ungaba yini?”
16 Ary Labana nanan-janaka roa vavy: Lea no anaran’ ny zokiny, ary Rahely no anaran’ ny zandriny.
ULabhani wayelamadodakazi amabili; ibizo lendala lalinguLeya, encinyane inguRasheli.
17 Ary Lea nalemy maso; fa Rahely bikàna sady tsara tarehy.
ULeya wayelamehlo abuthakathaka, kodwa uRasheli wayelesimo esibukekayo, emuhle.
18 Ary Jakoba tia an-dRahely ka nanao hoe: Hanompo anao fito taona aho hahazoako an-dRahely, zanakao faravavy.
UJakhobe wezwa emthanda uRasheli wasesithi, “Ngizakusebenzela okweminyaka eyisikhombisa ukuze ungiphe indodakazi yakho encane uRasheli.”
19 Ary hoy Labana: Aleoko homena anao izy, toy izay homena lehilahy hafa; tomoera eto amiko.
ULabhani wathi, “Kungcono ngimuphe wena kulokuba ngimuphe enye indoda. Hlala lapha lami.”
20 Dia nanompo an’ i Labana fito taona Jakoba hahazoany an-dRahely; ary toa andro vitsy foana teo imasony izany noho ny fitiavany azy.
UJakhobe waseyisebenza iminyaka eyisikhombisa ukuze azuze uRasheli, kodwa yakhanya ingathi yizinsukwana ezimbalwa kuye ngenxa yothando kuye.
21 Ary hoy Jakoba tamin’ i Labana: Aiza ny vadiko, mba hanambadiako azy? fa efa tapitra ny fetr’ androko.
UJakhobe wasesithi kuLabhani, “Ngipha-ke umkami. Isikhathi sami sesigcwalisekile, sengifuna ukwembatha laye.”
22 Ary nampamory ny tompon-tany rehetra Labana ka nanao fanasana.
Ngakho uLabhani wasenxusa bonke abantu bendawo wenza idili.
23 Kanjo nony hariva dia naka an’ i Lea zananivavy izy ka nitondra azy ho any amin’ i Jakoba; dia nanambady azy Jakoba.
Kodwa kwathi sekusihlwa, wathatha indodakazi yakhe uLeya wamupha uJakhobe, uJakhobe wembatha laye.
24 Ary nomen’ i Labana an’ i Lea zananivavy Zilpa ankizivaviny hanompo azy.
ULabhani waphinda wapha uLeya incekukazi yakhe uZilipha ukuba ibe yincekukazi yakhe.
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?
Kwathi sokusile, wabona kunguLeya! UJakhobe wathi kuLabhani, “Kuyini lokhu okwenzileyo kimi? Mina ngasebenzela uRasheli, kakunjalo na? Kungani ungikhohlisile?”
26 Dia hoy Labana: Tsy fanao atỳ amin’ ny taninay ny mamoaka ny zandriny alohan’ ny zokiny.
ULabhani waphendula wathi, “Kakusiwo mkhuba wethu lapha ukwendisa indodakazi encane endala ingakendi.
27 Tanteraho ny herinandron’ ity anankiray ity, dia homenay anao koa ny anankiray noho ny fanompoana izay mbola hanompoanao ahy fito taona indray.
Qeda iviki yokucola lo omdala; besesikupha lalo omncane njalo ngemva kokumsebenzela eminye iminyaka eyisikhombisa.”
28 Dia nataon’ i Jakoba izany, ka notanterahiny ny herinandrony; dia nomen’ i Labana azy koa Rahely zananivavy ho vadiny.
UJakhobe wenza njalo. Waqeda iviki eloLeya, uLabhani wasemupha indodakazi yakhe uRasheli ukuba ibe ngumkakhe.
29 Ary nomen’ i Labana an-dRahely zananivavy kosa Bila ankizivaviny hanompo azy.
ULabhani wanika indodakazi yakhe uRasheli incekukazi yakhe uBhiliha ukuba abe yincekukazi yakhe.
30 Dia novadin’ i Jakoba koa Rahely; ary izy no tiany mihoatra noho Lea; dia nanompo an’ i Labana fito taona indray izy.
UJakhobe waselala loRasheli, wamthanda ukwedlula uLeya. Wasesebenzela uLabhani okweminye iminyaka eyisikhombisa njalo.
31 Ary rehefa hitan’ i Jehovah fa nankahalaina Lea, dia nampanan’ anaka azy Izy; fa momba kosa Rahely.
UThixo wathi ngokubona ukuthi uLeya wayengathandwa, wavula inzalo yakhe, kodwa uRasheli wayeyinyumba.
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.
ULeya wathatha isisu wazala indodana. Wamutha ibizo wathi nguRubheni, ngoba wathi, “Kungenxa yokuthi uThixo usebonile ukuhlupheka kwami. Ngempela umkami usezangithanda manje.”
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.
Wathatha isisu njalo, wathi esephinde umfana njalo wathi, “Ngoba uThixo wezwa ukuthi kangithandwa, wanginika lo njalo.” Ngakho wamutha wathi nguSimiyoni.
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.
Wasithatha njalo isisu, kwathi esezele omunye umfana wathi, “Khathesi-ke umkami usezabambelela kimi ngoba sengimzalele amadodana amathathu.” Yikho wathiwa nguLevi.
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.
Waphinda wasithatha isisu, wazuza umfana wathi, “Ngalesisikhathi ngizadumisa uThixo.” Wamutha wathi nguJuda. Wasesima ukuzuza abantwana.
