Genesisy 30

1 Ie nioni’ i Rahkele t’ie tsy nahatoly ho a Iakòbe, le nikirañe an-joke’e, naho hoe re am’ Iakòbe. Ehe meo anake Iraho tsy mone hikenkañe!

Now Rachel, because she had no children, was full of envy of her sister; and she said to Jacob, If you do not give me children I will not go on living.

2 Nisolebotse amy Rahkele ty haboseha’ Iakòbe le hoe ty asa’e, Izaho hao ty hisolo an’ Andrianañahare nitañe ama’o ty vokan-koviñe?

But Jacob was angry with Rachel, and said, Am I in the place of God, who has kept your body from having fruit?

3 Le hoe re, Intoy t’i Bilhae mpitoroko, imoaho hisamaha’e amo ongokoo soa t’ie ty hampionjoñeñe ahy.

Then she said, Here is my servant Bilhah, go in to her, so that she may have a child on my knees, and I may have a family by her.

4 Aa le natolo’e aze t’i Bilhae mpitoro’e hialoza’e, naho niziliha’ Iakòbe

So she gave him her servant Bilhah as a wife, and Jacob went in to her.

5 vaho niaren-dre, nahatoly anadahy ho a Iakòbe.

And Bilhah became with child, and gave birth to a son.

6 Le hoe t’i Rahkele, Nañomey to ahiko t’i Andrianañahare; toe jinanji’e i fitoreokoy naho nitolora’e ana-dahy. Aa le natao’e Dane ty añara’e.

Then Rachel said, God has been my judge, and has given ear to my voice, and has given me a son; so he was named Dan.

7 Niareñe indraike t’i Bilhae mpitoro’ i Rahkele, naho nahatoly ana-dahy faha roe ho a Iakòbe.

And again Bilhah, Rachel's servant, was with child, and gave birth to a second son.

8 Le hoe t’i Rahkele, Am-pifangatorañe mafe ty nifangatòrako aman-jokeko le nahalefe, vaho natao’e Naftalý ty añara’e.

And Rachel said, I have had a great fight with my sister, and I have overcome her: and she gave the child the name Naphtali.

9 Ie rendre’ i Leae te nijihetse ty fisamaha’e, le rinambe’e t’i Zilpae mpitoroñ’ ampela’e vaho natolo’e am’ Iakòbe hialoza’e.

When it was clear to Leah that she would have no more children for a time, she gave Zilpah, her servant, to Jacob as a wife.

10 Nisamak’ ana-dahy ho a Iakòbe t’i Zilpae mpitoro’ i Leae.

And Zilpah, Leah's servant, gave birth to a son.

11 Le hoe t’i Leae, Hasoa tata! Aa le natao’e Gade ty añara’e.

And Leah said, It has gone well for me: and she gave him the name Gad.

12 Mbe nisamak’ ana-dahy fañindroe’e ho a Iakòbe t’i Zilpae mpitoro’ i Leae.

And Zilpah, Leah's servant, gave birth to a second son.

13 Le hoe t’i Leae, Hete! ty haehako! Hatao’ o anak’ ampelao haha iraho. Aa le natao’e Asere ty añara’e.

And Leah said, Happy am I! and all women will give witness to my joy: and she gave him the name Asher.

14 Ie an-tsam-pitatahañe vare-bolè, nomb’an-tetek’ ao t’i Reòbene le nahatendreke fañanintsiñe vaho nañandesa’e t’i Leae, rene’e. Le hoe t’i Rahkele amy Leae, Añomezo amo fañanintsin’ ana’oo.

Now at the time of the grain-cutting, Reuben saw some love-fruits in the field, and took them to his mother Leah. And Rachel said to her, Let me have some of your son's love-fruits.

15 Fe hoe re ama’e, Raha kede ama’o hao te nasinta’o amako i valikoy, te hitavaña’o ty fañanintsin’ anako ka? Le hoe t’i Rahkele, Aa le ho meako azo hiolora’o te anito ty amo fañanintsin’ ana’oo.

But Leah said to her, Is it a small thing that you have taken my husband from me? and now would you take my son's love-fruits? Then Rachel said, You may have him tonight in exchange for your son's love-fruits.

16 Ie boak’ an-teteke ey t’Iakòbe amy harivay, le niakatse hanalaka aze t’i Leae nanao ty hoe, Ahiko irehe te anito fa fifofoañe ty nifofoako azo amo fañanintsin’ anakoo. Aa le niolora’e amy haleñey.

In the evening, when Jacob came in from the field, Leah went out to him and said, Tonight you are to come to me, for I have given my son's love-fruits as a price for you. And he went in to her that night.

17 Nihaoñen’ Añahare t’i Leae vaho niaren-dre, le nahatoly ana-dahy faha-lime ho a Iakòbe.

And God gave ear to her and she became with child, and gave Jacob a fifth son.

18 Hoe t’i Leae, Nitambezan’ Añahare Iraho ty amy nanolorako i mpitoro-ampelakoiy amy valeko. Le natao’e Iisakare ty añara’e.

Then Leah said, God has made payment to me for giving my servant-girl to my husband: so she gave her son the name Issachar.

19 Niareñe indraike t’i Leae le nisamake ty ana-dahi’e fah’ eneñe ho a Iakòbe.

And again Leah became with child, and she gave Jacob a sixth son.

20 Le hoe t’i Leae, Nitoloran’ Añahare ravoravo fanjàka iraho. Tsy mahay tsy himoneñe amako ty valiko henane zao, amy te nahatoly ana-dahy eneñe ho aze. Le natao’e Zebolòne ty añara’e.

And she said, God has given me a good bride-price; now at last will I have my husband living with me, for I have given him six sons: and she gave him the name Zebulun.

21 Ie añe le nahatoly anak’ ampela re vaho natao’e Dinae ty añara’e.

After that she had a daughter, to whom she gave the name Dinah.

22 Nitiahien’Añahare amy zao t’i Rahkele le nahajanjiñe aze t’i Andrianañahare vaho sinoka’e ty hovi’e.

Then God gave thought to Rachel, and hearing her prayer he made her fertile.

23 Niaren-dre le nahatoly ana-dahy vaho nanao ty hoe, Fa nafahan’ Añahare amako ty ìnje.

And she was with child, and gave birth to a son: and she said, God has taken away my shame.

24 Natao’e Iosefe ty añara’e ami’ty hoe: Ehe t’ie ho tovoña’ Iehovà ana-dahy.

And she gave him the name Joseph, saying, May the Lord give me another son.

25 Ie nasama’ i Rahkele t’Iosefe, le hoe t’Iakòbe amy Labàne. Ampionjono mb’eo Iraho himpoliako mb’an-toeko naho mb’an-taneko añe.

Now after the birth of Joseph, Jacob said to Laban, Let me go away to my place and my country.

26 Meo ahiko o valiko naho anako nitoroñako azoo, vaho ampionjono. Fohi’o i fifanehafako nitoroñako azoy.

Give me my wives and my children, for whom I have been your servant, and let me go: for you have knowledge of all the work I have done for you.

27 Aa hoe t’i Labàne ama’e, Naho nahatendreke fañisohañe a’ maso’o iraho, le mitoboha hey. Fa am-pitsikarahañe ty naharen­drehako te nitahie’ Iehovà Iraho ty ama’o.

And Laban said, If you will let me say so, do not go away; for I have seen by the signs that the Lord has been good to me because of you.

28 Tinovo’e ty hoe, Ano ty ho tambe’o le hatoloko.

Say then what your payment is to be and I will give it.

29 Hoe t’Iakòbe ama’e, Fohi’o ty nifa­nehafako ho azo naho ty hasoa’ o hare’oo t’ie amako.

Then Jacob said, You have seen what I have done for you, and how your cattle have done well under my care.

30 Ty kedekede tama’o taolo’ i fiavikoy le fa nitombo ho maro, vaho nitahy azo t’Iehovà ndra aia aia ty nombako. Aa ie henaneo, ombia ty hanoeko ho a i trañokoy, izaho ka?

For before I came you had little, and it has been greatly increased; and the Lord has given you a blessing in everything I have done; but when am I to do something for my family?

31 Aa hoe re: Ino ty homeako azo? Le hoe ty natoi’ Iakòbe, Ko añomeza’o ndra inoñ’ inoñe, fa naho o raha zao ty hanoe’o amako, le handrazeko vaho hambenako indraike o mpirai-lia’oo.

And Laban said, What am I to give you? And Jacob said, Do not give me anything; but I will again take up the care of your flock if you will only do this for me:

32 Angao ho tsitsifeko o mpirai-lia’oo te anito le fonga haviko ze añondry merembitike naho voanato, naho ze vik’ añondry mainteinte, vaho ze ose poapoake ndra varevare; irezay ty ho tambeko.

Let me go through all your flock today, taking out from among them all the sheep which are marked or coloured or black, and all the marked or coloured goats: these will be my payment.

33 Hitalily ahy ty havantañako te añe, naho hiatreke o lahara’oo o tambekoo. Ze ose tsy varevare ndra poapoake oniñe amako, ndra ze vik’añondry tsy mainte le hatao kinametse.

And so you will be able to put my honour to the test in time to come; if you see among my flocks any goats which are not marked or coloured, or any sheep which is not black, you may take me for a thief.

34 Noko izay, hoe t’i Labàne. Ie i vinola’oy.

And Laban said, Let it be as you say.

35 Fe amy àndroy avao le naveve’ i Labàne ze hene ose­lahy varevare ndra poapoake naho ze ose-vave varevare ndra poake (naho ze aman-kafotiañe) naho ze vik’ añondry mainte vaho natolo’e an-taña’ o ana’eo;

So that day he took all the he-goats which were banded or coloured, and all the she-goats which were marked or coloured or had white marks, and all the black sheep, and gave them into the care of his sons;

36 le nasitake lia telo andro amy Iakòbe, naho nandraze’ Iakòbe ty ila’ o mpirai-lia’ i Labàneo.

And sent them three days' journey away: and Jacob took care of the rest of Laban's flock.

37 Nangalake ran-talý naho sohihy naho hatae tsotra t’Iakobe vaho niholire’e o ran-kataeo hampiboake ty foty amo ran-kataeo.

Then Jacob took young branches of trees, cutting off the skin so that the white wood was seen in bands.

38 Le napo’e aolo’ o mpirai-liao o ran-kataeo añ’ila’ o dabaoga finoma’ o mpirai-liaoo t’ie avy hinon-drano, ie toe mitongoa naho minon-drano.

And he put the banded sticks in the drinking-places where the flock came to get water; and they became with young when they came to the water.

39 Aa ie nisahe añ’ atrefa’ o ran-kataeo o mpirai-liao le nampipoke anake tanteharañe ndra varevare, ndra poapoake.

And because of this, the flock gave birth to young which were marked with bands of colour.

40 Navi’ Iakòbe o ana’eo, le nampisahe’e amo misoritsori­tseo naho amy ze mainte amo lia’rai’ i Labaneo, toe naveve’e o mpirai-lia’eo, tsy naharo’e amo mpirai-lia’ i Labaneo.

These lambs Jacob kept separate; and he put his flock in a place by themselves and not with Laban's flock.

41 Ie te hisahe o hare maoza­tseo, le nasampe’e ey o ran-kataeo ho trea’ o hàreo amo dabaogao, soa te hisahe aolo’ o ran-kataeo,

And whenever the stronger ones of the flock became with young, Jacob put the sticks in front of them in the drinking-places, so that they might become with young when they saw the sticks.

42 fa naho naleme o hareo, tsy nampipoha’e ao izay. Aa le ninjare maleme ty fanaña’ i Labàne vaho naozatse o a Iakòbeo.

But when the flocks were feeble, he did not put the sticks before them; so that the feebler flocks were Laban's and the stronger were Jacob's.

43 Aa le vata’e niraorao indatiy, nihatsifotofoto o mpirai’ lia’eo, ie amam-pitoro lahy naho ampela, rameva vaho borike.

So Jacob's wealth was greatly increased; he had great flocks and women-servants and men-servants and camels and asses.
