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!
When Rachel realized she was unable to give Jacob any children she was jealous of her sister. She complained to Jacob, “I'll die if you don't give me children!”
2 Nisolebotse amy Rahkele ty haboseha’ Iakòbe le hoe ty asa’e, Izaho hao ty hisolo an’ Andrianañahare nitañe ama’o ty vokan-koviñe?
Jacob became angry with Rachel and told her, “Am I God? Do you think I'm the one stopping you having children?”
3 Le hoe re, Intoy t’i Bilhae mpitoroko, imoaho hisamaha’e amo ongokoo soa t’ie ty hampionjoñeñe ahy.
“Here's my personal maid Bilhah,” Rachel replied. “Sleep with her and she can have children for me so I'll have a family too.”
4 Aa le natolo’e aze t’i Bilhae mpitoro’e hialoza’e, naho niziliha’ Iakòbe
She gave her personal maid Bilhah to him as a wife and Jacob slept with her.
5 vaho niaren-dre, nahatoly anadahy ho a Iakòbe.
Bilhah became pregnant and had a son for Jacob.
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.
Rachel said, “God has judged in my favor! He listened to me and gave me a son.” So she named him Dan.
7 Niareñe indraike t’i Bilhae mpitoro’ i Rahkele, naho nahatoly ana-dahy faha roe ho a Iakòbe.
Rachel's personal maid Bilhah became pregnant again and had second son for Jacob.
8 Le hoe t’i Rahkele, Am-pifangatorañe mafe ty nifangatòrako aman-jokeko le nahalefe, vaho natao’e Naftalý ty añara’e.
Rachel said, “I've had a hard struggle with my sister, but I've won.” So she named him 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.
Leah realized she wasn't having any more children, so she gave her personal maid Zilpah to Jacob as a wife.
10 Nisamak’ ana-dahy ho a Iakòbe t’i Zilpae mpitoro’ i Leae.
Zilpah had a son for Jacob.
11 Le hoe t’i Leae, Hasoa tata! Aa le natao’e Gade ty añara’e.
Leah said, “I'm really fortunate!” So she named him Gad.
12 Mbe nisamak’ ana-dahy fañindroe’e ho a Iakòbe t’i Zilpae mpitoro’ i Leae.
Leah's personal maid Zilpah became pregnant again and had a second son for Jacob.
13 Le hoe t’i Leae, Hete! ty haehako! Hatao’ o anak’ ampelao haha iraho. Aa le natao’e Asere ty añara’e.
Leah said, “I'm so happy, and the other women will say I'm happy too!” So she named him 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.
At the time of the wheat harvest Reuben found some mandrake plants when he was out in the fields. He took them back to his mother Leah. Rachel asked Leah, “Please give me some of the mandrakes your son found.”
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.
“Aren't you satisfied with stealing my husband?” Leah replied. “Are you going to take my son's mandrakes too?” “Fine, he can sleep with you tonight if you give me some mandrakes in return,” Rachel responded.
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.
When Jacob came in from the fields that evening, Leah went out to meet him. “You have to sleep with me because I've paid for you with my son's mandrakes,” she told him. So he slept with her that night.
17 Nihaoñen’ Añahare t’i Leae vaho niaren-dre, le nahatoly ana-dahy faha-lime ho a Iakòbe.
God heard Leah's request, and she became pregnant and had a fifth son for Jacob.
18 Hoe t’i Leae, Nitambezan’ Añahare Iraho ty amy nanolorako i mpitoro-ampelakoiy amy valeko. Le natao’e Iisakare ty añara’e.
Leah said, “The Lord has rewarded me for giving my personal maid to my husband.” So she named him Issachar.
19 Niareñe indraike t’i Leae le nisamake ty ana-dahi’e fah’ eneñe ho a Iakòbe.
Then Leah became pregnant again and had a sixth son for Jacob.
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.
Leah said, “God has given me a good gift. Now my husband will honor me because I've given him six sons.” So she named him Zebulun.
21 Ie añe le nahatoly anak’ ampela re vaho natao’e Dinae ty añara’e.
Later she had a daughter she named Dinah.
22 Nitiahien’Añahare amy zao t’i Rahkele le nahajanjiñe aze t’i Andrianañahare vaho sinoka’e ty hovi’e.
Then God paid attention to Rachel and listened to her appeals, and helped her to have children.
23 Niaren-dre le nahatoly ana-dahy vaho nanao ty hoe, Fa nafahan’ Añahare amako ty ìnje.
She became pregnant and had a son. “God has removed my disgrace,” she said.
24 Natao’e Iosefe ty añara’e ami’ty hoe: Ehe t’ie ho tovoña’ Iehovà ana-dahy.
She named him Joseph, saying, “May the Lord give me an additional 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.
Once Rachel had given birth to Joseph, Jacob said to Laban, “Let me leave so I can return to my home and my own country.
26 Meo ahiko o valiko naho anako nitoroñako azoo, vaho ampionjono. Fohi’o i fifanehafako nitoroñako azoy.
Give me my wives and children because I worked for you to have them. Let me go now because you know very well how much work I've 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.
“Please be so kind as to stay,” Laban replied, “because I have discovered that the Lord has blessed me because of you.”
28 Tinovo’e ty hoe, Ano ty ho tambe’o le hatoloko.
Then Laban continued, “Tell me how much to pay you and I'll give it to you.”
29 Hoe t’Iakòbe ama’e, Fohi’o ty nifanehafako ho azo naho ty hasoa’ o hare’oo t’ie amako.
“You certainly know how much work I've done for you, and how well your flocks have done 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?
You hardly had anything before I arrived, but now you have so much! The Lord has blessed you through what I've done. When am I going to be able to provide for my own 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.
“Well, what do you propose I give you?” Laban asked again. “You don't have to give me anything,” Jacob replied. “If you want to do something for me, then how about this: I'll go on looking after your flocks, making sure they're fed.
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 your flocks today and take all the sheep that are speckled or spotted, and all the dark ones, as well as all the speckled and spotted goats. They'll 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.
In the future you'll be able to prove that I've been honest. When you check my flock, any goats that don't have speckles or spots, or any sheep that aren't dark will be considered stolen from you.”
34 Noko izay, hoe t’i Labàne. Ie i vinola’oy.
“Very good,” Laban agreed. “We'll do 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;
However, the same day Laban went and removed all the striped and spotted male goats, all the speckled and spotted female goats, and all the dark sheep. He had his sons look after them and sent them away—
36 le nasitake lia telo andro amy Iakòbe, naho nandraze’ Iakòbe ty ila’ o mpirai-lia’ i Labàneo.
a three day journey between them and Jacob, while Jacob was looking after the rest of Laban's flocks.
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 cut some sticks from poplar, almond, and plane trees that had white wood under the bark. He peeled off some of the bark, making the sticks look streaked with white.
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.
He put the sticks he'd peeled in the water troughs where the flocks came to drink because that's where they mated.
39 Aa ie nisahe añ’ atrefa’ o ran-kataeo o mpirai-liao le nampipoke anake tanteharañe ndra varevare, ndra poapoake.
The flocks mated in front of the sticks and gave birth to young that were streaked, speckled, and spotted.
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.
Jacob separated all these ones out. Then he made his flock face towards those in Laban's flock that were streaked and dark. This is the way he kept his flocks apart from 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,
When the strong females were ready to breed, Jacob put the sticks in the troughs where the flocks could see them when they mated.
42 fa naho naleme o hareo, tsy nampipoha’e ao izay. Aa le ninjare maleme ty fanaña’ i Labàne vaho naozatse o a Iakòbeo.
He didn't do this for the weaker females. The weaker ones went to Laban, and the strong ones went to Jacob.
43 Aa le vata’e niraorao indatiy, nihatsifotofoto o mpirai’ lia’eo, ie amam-pitoro lahy naho ampela, rameva vaho borike.
In this way Jacob became an extremely rich man with large flocks, and many male and female slaves, camels, and donkeys.
