Genesisy 29
1 Niongake am-pandia amy zao t’Iakòbe nimb’ an-tane’ o anan-tatiñanañeo.
Then Jacob lifted up his feet and went unto the land of the children of the east.
2 Tinalake’e te heheke ty vovoñe an-kivoke ey aman’ añondry telo troke mandre marine aze, amy te fampinomañe o mpirai-liao i vovoñey; le vato jabajaba ty nikapeke i vovoñey.
And he looked, and behold there was a well in the field, and, lo, there were three flocks of sheep lying by it; for out of that well they watered the flocks: and the stone upon the mouth of the well was great.
3 Ie hene vory o mpirai-liao le adariso’ o mpiarakeo i vato fikape’ i vovoñeiy, vaho ampinomeñe o añondrio; heneke izay vaho ampolie’ iareo am-bava’ i vovoñey i vatoy.
And there all the flocks were wont to assemble; and they rolled then the stone from the mouth of the well, and watered the sheep; and they put the stone again upon the mouth of the well in its place.
4 Hoe t’Iakòbe am’iereo, O rahalahikoo, boak’ aia nahareo? Hoe iereo, Hirik’e Kharane añe.
And Jacob said unto them, My brethren, whence are ye? And they said, Of Charan are we.
5 Hoe re tam’ iereo, Fohi’ areo hao t’i Labàne ana’ i Nakore? Hoe iereo, Eka apota’ay.
And he said unto them, Know ye Laban the son of Nachor? And they said, We know him.
6 Hoe re tam’iereo, Jangam-bao? Janga, hoe iereo, le ingo t’i Rahkele, anak’ ampela’e minday o añondrio.
And he said unto them, Is he well? And they said, He is well; and, behold, Rachel his daughter cometh with the sheep.
7 Hoe re, Hehe, mbe tsingilingilieñe ty àndro, tsy fanontoñañe añondry hey henaneo. Ampinomo o añondrio vaho akia andrazo.
And he said, Lo, the day is yet long, it is not time that the cattle should be driven home; water ye the sheep, and go and feed them.
8 Fa hoe ka iereo, Tsy mete zahay naho tsy fa vory iaby o mpirai-liao naho avarimbari’ iareo boak’ am-bava’ o vovoñeo o vatoo; izay vaho ampinome’ay o añondrio.
And they said, We cannot, until all the flocks be gathered together, then do they roll the stone from the mouth of the well; and we water the sheep.
9 Ie mbe nifanaontsy, pok’ eo t’i Rahkele ninday o añondrin-drae’eo, amy t’ie mpiarake.
And while he was yet speaking with them, Rachel came with her father's sheep; for she was a shepherdess.
10 Ie nahaoniñe i Rahkele, ana’ i Labàne renelahi’e, naho o añondri’ i Labàne renelahi’eo t’Iakòbe le niharinea’e naho navari’e boak’ am-bava’ i vovoñey i vatoy vaho nampinome’e i lia-rai’ i Labàne renelahi’eoy.
And it came to pass when Jacob saw Rachel the daughter of Laban his mother's brother, and the sheep of Laban his mother's brother, that Jacob went near, and rolled the stone from the mouth of the well, and watered the flock of Laban his mother's brother.
11 Le norofa’ Iakòbe t’i Rahkele vaho nipoña-peo an-drovetse,
And Jacob kissed Rachel, and lifted up his voice, and wept.
12 naho nitoñone’ Iakòbe amy Rahkele t’ie longon-drae’e naho ana’ i Ribkae; le nilay re hitalily aman-drae’e.
And Jacob told Rachel that he was her father's brother, and that he was Rebekah's son: and she ran and told her father.
13 Ie jinanji’ i Labàne ty talili’ Iakòbe ana-drahavave’e, le nihitrihitry hifañaoñe ama’e; finorokoko’e naho norofa’e vaho nendese’e mb’ añ’ anjomba’e ao vaho hene natalili’e amy Labàne i nifetsake rezay,
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 kissed him, and brought him to his house. And he told Laban all these things.
14 le hoe t’i Labàne ama’e, Toe taolako naho nofoko irehe! Aa le niambesara’e volañe raike.
And Laban said to him, Surely thou art my bone and my flesh. And he abode with him the space of a month.
15 Le hoe t’i Labàne am’ Iakòbe, Aa ndra t’ie longoko, hifanehake ho ahy tsy aman-tambe hao? Volaño arè, ino ty ho tambe’o.
And Laban then said unto Jacob, Because thou art my brother, shouldst thou therefore serve me for naught? tell me, what shall thy wages be?
16 Ie amy zao, roe ty anak’ ampela’ i Labàne; Leae ty añara’ ty zoke’e naho i Rahkele ty añaran-jai’e.
And Laban had two daughters; the name of the elder was Leah, and the name of the younger was Rachel.
17 Naleme ty maso’ i Leae, le nimontramontra naho soa vintañe t’i Rahkele.
And the eyes of Leah were tender; but Rachel was of handsome form and handsome appearance.
18 Nikokoa’ Iakòbe t’i Rahkele, le hoe re, Ho toroñeko fito taon-drehe ho a i Rahkele, anak’ ampela’o zai’e.
And Jacob loved Rachel; and he said, I will serve thee seven years for Rachel thy younger daughter.
19 Hoe t’i Labàne, Hamake hatoloko azo ta te hatoloko amy ze ondaty ila’e; mimoneña amako.
And Laban said, It is better that I give her to thee, than that I should give her to another man; abide with me.
20 Aa le nitoroñe fito taoñe t’Iakòbe hahazoa’e i Rahkele, le nihoe andro tsy ampe-ampe am-pihaino’eo ty amy fikokoa’e azey.
And Jacob served for Rachel seven years; and they seemed unto him but a few days, through the love he had to her.
21 Le hoe t’Iakòbe amy Labàne, Atoloro ahy i valikoy hiharoako fa heneke o androkoo.
And Jacob said unto Laban, Give me my wife, for my days are fulfilled, that I may go in unto her.
22 Aa le natonto’ i Labàne ze hene ondati’ i tanañey vaho nañalankañe takataka.
And Laban gathered together all the men of the place, and made a feast.
23 Ie hariva i àndroy le nasese’ i Labàne am’Iakòbe t’i Leae vaho niolore’e.
And it came to pass in the evening, that he took Leah his daughter, and brought her to him; and he went in unto her.
24 Le natolo’ i Labàne amy Leae ty mpitoro-ampela’e Zilpae ho mpiatrak’ aze.
And Laban gave unto his daughter Leah, Zilpah his maid for a handmaid.
25 Aa ie nanjirike ty hamaray, hehe te i Leae! le hoe t’Iakòbe amy Labàne: Ino o nanoe’o amakoo? Tsy i Rahkele hao ty nitoroñako azo? Akore arè ty namitaha’o ahy?
And it came to pass that in the morning, behold, it was Leah: and he said to Laban, What is this thou hast done unto me? did I not serve with thee for Rachel? wherefore then hast thou deceived me?
26 Hoe t’i Labàne, Tsy sata an-tane atoy ty anolorañe ty zai’e aolo’ ty tañoloñoloñan-ampela’e.
And Laban said, It is not done so in our place, to give in marriage the younger before the first-born.
27 Foniro i hafitoa’ey, le hatolo’ay azo ka i raikey, ho ami’ty fito taoñe tovo’e hitoroña’o ahy.
Fulfill the week of this, and we will give thee this one also, for the service which thou shalt serve with me yet seven other years.
28 Aa le nanoe’ Iakòbe. Nihenefe’e i hereñandroy, vaho natolo’e aze ty anak’ampela’e Rahkele ho vali’e.
And Jacob did so, and fulfilled the week of the first; and he gave him Rachel his daughter for a wife.
29 Natolo’ i Labàne amy Rahkele ana’e t’i Bilhae mpiatra’ey ho mpiatrak’ aze.
And Laban gave to Rachel his daughter Bilhah his hand-maid to be her maid.
30 Niolotse amy Rahkele ka t’Iakòbe le ie ty nikokoa’e te amy Leae, vaho nitoroñe i Labàne fito taoñe indraike.
And he went in also unto Rachel, and he loved also Rachel more than Leah; and he served with him yet seven other years.
31 Ie nivazoho’ Iehovà te tsy nikokoañe t’i Leae, le sinoka’e ty trañon’ ana’e, fe betsiterake t’i Rahkele.
And when the Lord saw that Leah was hated, he opened her womb; but Rachel was barren.
32 Niareñe t’i Leae vaho nahatoly ana-dahy. Natao’e Reòbene ty añara’e fa hoe ty asa’e, amy te nivazoho’ Iehovà ty haferenaiñako. Aa le hikoko ahy ty valiko henanekeo.
And Leah conceived, and bore a son, and she called his name Reuben; for she said, Surely, the Lord hath looked upon my affliction, because now my husband will love me.
33 Niareñe indraike re nisamak’ ana-dahy, vaho hoe re, Jinanji’ Iehovà t’ie firihia’e le nomei’e itoañe ka, le natao’e Simòne ty añara’e.
And she conceived again and bore a son; and she said, Because the Lord heard that I was hated, he hath given me this one also; and she called his name Simeon.
34 Mbe niareñe indraike re, nahatoly ana-dahy, le hoe ty asa’e, Sandrake henane zao te hipiteham-baliko, izaho nisamake telo ho aze. Aa le natao’e Levy ty añara’e.
And she conceived again, and bore a son; and she said, Now this time will my husband be joined unto me, because I have born him three sons; therefore was his name called Levi.
35 Mbe niareñe indraike re, le nisamak’ ana-dahy vaho nanao ty hoe, Handrenge Iehovà Iraho henane zao. Le natao’e Iehodà ty añara’e vaho nitampets’ anake.
And she conceived again, and bore a son; and she said, This time will I praise the Lord; therefore she called his name Judah: and she left off bearing.
