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!
And Rachel, seeing herself without children, envied her sister, and said to her husband: Give me children, otherwise I shall die.
2 Nisolebotse amy Rahkele ty haboseha’ Iakòbe le hoe ty asa’e, Izaho hao ty hisolo an’ Andrianañahare nitañe ama’o ty vokan-koviñe?
And Jacob being angry with her, answered: Am I as God, who hath deprived thee of the fruit of thy womb?
3 Le hoe re, Intoy t’i Bilhae mpitoroko, imoaho hisamaha’e amo ongokoo soa t’ie ty hampionjoñeñe ahy.
But she said: I have here my servant Bala: go in unto her, that she may bear upon my knees, and I may have children by her.
4 Aa le natolo’e aze t’i Bilhae mpitoro’e hialoza’e, naho niziliha’ Iakòbe
And she gave him Bala in marriage: who,
5 vaho niaren-dre, nahatoly anadahy ho a Iakòbe.
When her husband had gone in unto her, conceived and bore 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.
And Rachel said: The Lord hath judged for me, and hath heard my voice, giving me a son, and therefore she called his name Dan.
7 Niareñe indraike t’i Bilhae mpitoro’ i Rahkele, naho nahatoly ana-dahy faha roe ho a Iakòbe.
And again Bala conceived and bore another,
8 Le hoe t’i Rahkele, Am-pifangatorañe mafe ty nifangatòrako aman-jokeko le nahalefe, vaho natao’e Naftalý ty añara’e.
For whom Rachel said: God hath compared me with my sister, and I have prevailed: and she called him Nephtali.
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.
Lia, perceiving that she had left off bearing, gave Zelpha her handmaid to her husband.
10 Nisamak’ ana-dahy ho a Iakòbe t’i Zilpae mpitoro’ i Leae.
And when she had conceived and brought forth a son,
11 Le hoe t’i Leae, Hasoa tata! Aa le natao’e Gade ty añara’e.
She said: Happily. And therefore called his name Gad.
12 Mbe nisamak’ ana-dahy fañindroe’e ho a Iakòbe t’i Zilpae mpitoro’ i Leae.
Zelpha also bore another.
13 Le hoe t’i Leae, Hete! ty haehako! Hatao’ o anak’ ampelao haha iraho. Aa le natao’e Asere ty añara’e.
And Lia said: This is for my happiness: for women will call me blessed. Therefore she called him Aser.
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.
And Ruben, going out in the time of the wheat harvest into the field, found mandrakes: which he brought to his mother Lia. And Rachel said: Give me part of thy son’s mandrakes.
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.
She answered: Dost thou think it a small matter, that thou hast taken my husband from me, unless thou take also my son’s mandrakes? Rachel said: He shall sleep with thee this night, for thy son’s mandrakes.
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.
And when Jacob returned at even from the field, Lia went out to meet him, and said: Thou shalt come in unto me, because I have hired thee for my son’s mandrakes. And he slept with her that night.
17 Nihaoñen’ Añahare t’i Leae vaho niaren-dre, le nahatoly ana-dahy faha-lime ho a Iakòbe.
And God heard her prayers: and she conceived and bore the 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.
And said: God hath given me a reward, because I gave my handmaid to my husband. And she called his name Issachar.
19 Niareñe indraike t’i Leae le nisamake ty ana-dahi’e fah’ eneñe ho a Iakòbe.
And Lia conceived again, and bore the 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 said: God hath endowed me with a good dowry: this turn also my husband will be with me, because I have borne him six sons: and therefore she called his name Zabulon.
21 Ie añe le nahatoly anak’ ampela re vaho natao’e Dinae ty añara’e.
After whom she bore a daughter, named Dina.
22 Nitiahien’Añahare amy zao t’i Rahkele le nahajanjiñe aze t’i Andrianañahare vaho sinoka’e ty hovi’e.
The Lord also remembering Rachel, heard her, and opened her womb.
23 Niaren-dre le nahatoly ana-dahy vaho nanao ty hoe, Fa nafahan’ Añahare amako ty ìnje.
And she conceived, and bore a son, saying: God hath taken away my reproach.
24 Natao’e Iosefe ty añara’e ami’ty hoe: Ehe t’ie ho tovoña’ Iehovà ana-dahy.
And she called his name Joseph, saying: The Lord give me also 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.
And when Joseph was born, Jacob said to his father in law: Send me away that I may return into my country, and to my land.
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 served thee, that I may depart: thou knowest the service that I have rendered thee.
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.
Laban said to him: Let me find favour in thy sight: I have learned by experience, that God hath blessed me for thy sake.
28 Tinovo’e ty hoe, Ano ty ho tambe’o le hatoloko.
Appoint thy wages which I shall give thee.
29 Hoe t’Iakòbe ama’e, Fohi’o ty nifanehafako ho azo naho ty hasoa’ o hare’oo t’ie amako.
But he answered: Thou knowest how I have served thee, and how great thy possession hath been in my hands.
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?
Thou hadst but little before I came to thee, and now thou art become rich: and the Lord hath blessed thee at my coming. It is reasonable therefore that I should now provide also for my own house.
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 shall I give thee? But he said: I require nothing: but if thou wilt do what I demand, I will feed, and keep thy sheep again.
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.
Go round through all thy flocks, and separate all the sheep of divers colours, and speckled: and all that is brown and spotted, and of divers colours, as well among the sheep, as among the goats, shall be my wages.
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 my justice shall answer for me tomorrow before thee when the time of the bargain shall come: and all that is not of divers colours, and spotted, and brown, as well among the sheep as among the goats, shall accuse me of theft.
34 Noko izay, hoe t’i Labàne. Ie i vinola’oy.
And Laban said: I like well what thou demandest.
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;
And he separated the same day the she goats, and the sheep, and the he goats, and the rams of divers colours, and spotted: and all the flock of one colour, that is, of white and black fleece, he delivered into the hands of his sons.
36 le nasitake lia telo andro amy Iakòbe, naho nandraze’ Iakòbe ty ila’ o mpirai-lia’ i Labàneo.
And he set the space of three days’ journey betwixt himself and his son in law, who fed the rest of his flock.
37 Nangalake ran-talý naho sohihy naho hatae tsotra t’Iakobe vaho niholire’e o ran-kataeo hampiboake ty foty amo ran-kataeo.
And Jacob took green rods of poplar, and of almond, and of plane trees, and pilled them in part: so when the bark was taken off, in the parts that were pilled, there appeared whiteness: but the parts that were whole remained green: and by this means the colour was divers.
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 them in the troughs, where the water was poured out: that when the flocks should come to drink, they might have the rods before their eyes, and in the sight of them might conceive.
39 Aa ie nisahe añ’ atrefa’ o ran-kataeo o mpirai-liao le nampipoke anake tanteharañe ndra varevare, ndra poapoake.
And it came to pass that in the very heat of coition, the sheep beheld the rods, and brought forth spotted, and of divers colours, and speckled.
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.
And Jacob separated the flock, and put the rods in the troughs before the eyes of the rams: and all the white and the black were Laban’s: and the rest were Jacob’s, when the flocks were separated one from the other.
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,
So when the ewes went first to ram, Jacob put the rods in the troughs of water before the eyes of the rams, and of the ewes, that they might conceive while they were looking upon them:
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 latter coming was, and the last conceiving, he did not put them. And those that were lateward, became Laban’s: and they of the first time, Jacob’s.
43 Aa le vata’e niraorao indatiy, nihatsifotofoto o mpirai’ lia’eo, ie amam-pitoro lahy naho ampela, rameva vaho borike.
And the man was enriched exceedingly, and he had many flocks, maid servants and men servants, camels and asses.
