Kenehi 30

1 A, no te kitenga o Rahera kahore i whanau tetahi tama ma raua ko Hakopa, ka hae a Rahera ki tona tuakana; a ka mea ia ki a Hakopa, Kia whai tamariki ahau, ki te kahore, ka mate ahau.

And Rachel seeth that she hath not borne to Jacob, and Rachel is envious of her sister, and saith unto Jacob, 'Give me sons, and if there is none — I die.'

2 Na ka mura ake te riri a Hakopa ki a Rahera: ka mea ia, Ko te atua ranei ahau e kaiponu atu nei i te hua mo tou kopu?

And Jacob's anger burneth against Rachel, and he saith, 'Am I in stead of God who hath withheld from thee the fruit of the womb?'

3 Na ka mea tera, Na taku pononga wahine, a Piriha, haere ki roto, ki a ia; kia whanau ai ia ki runga ki oku turi, a mana ka whai tamariki ai ahau.

And she saith, 'Lo, my handmaid Bilhah, go in unto her, and she doth bear on my knees, and I am built up, even I, from her;'

4 Na ka homai e ia a Piriha, tana pononga wahine, ki a ia hei wahine, a ka haere atu a Hakopa ki roto, ki a ia.

and she giveth to him Bilhah her maid-servant for a wife, and Jacob goeth in unto her;

5 Na ka hapu a Piriha, a ka whanau ta raua tama ko Hakopa.

and Bilhah conceiveth, and beareth to Jacob a son,

6 Na ka mea a Rahera, Kua whakarite te Atua i taku whakawakanga, kua rongo ano ki toku reo, kua homai hoki e ia tetahi tama ki ahau: na reira i huaina ai e ia tona ingoa ko Rana.

and Rachel saith, 'God hath decided for me, and also hath hearkened to my voice, and giveth to me a son;' therefore hath she called his name Dan.

7 Na ka hapu ano a Piriha, te pononga wahine a Rahera, a ka whanau te rua o a raua tama, ko Hakopa.

And Bilhah, Rachel's maid-servant, conceiveth again, and beareth a second son to Jacob,

8 Na ka mea a Rahera, Nui whakaharahara nga nonoketanga i nonoke ai maua ko toku tuakana, a taea ana ia e ahau: na huaina iho e ia tona ingoa ko Napatari.

and Rachel saith, 'With wrestlings of God I have wrestled with my sister, yea, I have prevailed;' and she calleth his name Napthali.

9 I te kitenga o Rea ka mutu ia te whanau ka tango ia i a Tiripa, i tana pononga wahine, a hoatu ana e ia ki a Hakopa hei wahine.

And Leah seeth that she hath ceased from bearing, and she taketh Zilpah her maid-servant, and giveth her to Jacob for a wife;

10 Na ka whanau te tama a Hakopa raua ko Tiripa, pononga a Rea.

and Zilpah, Leah's maid-servant, beareth to Jacob a son,

11 A ka mea a Rea, He waimarie! Na huaina ana e ia tona ingoa ko Kara.

and Leah saith, 'A troop is coming;' and she calleth his name Gad.

12 Na ka whanau te rua o nga tama a Hakopa raua ko Tiripa, pononga a Rea.

And Zilpah, Leah's maid-servant, beareth a second son to Jacob,

13 A ka mea a Rea, E hari ana ahau, ka kiia nei hoki ahau e nga tamahine he mea hari: a huaina ana e ia tona ingoa ko Ahera.

and Leah saith, 'Because of my happiness, for daughters have pronounced me happy;' and she calleth his name Asher.

14 Na ka haere a Reupena i nga ra o te kotinga witi, a ka kite i etahi manitareki i te koraha, a kawea ana e ia ki a Rea, ki tona whaea. A ka mea atu a Rahera ki a Rea, Tena koa maku etahi o nga manitareki a tau tama.

And Reuben goeth in the days of wheat-harvest, and findeth love-apples in the field, and bringeth them in unto Leah, his mother, and Rachel saith unto Leah, 'Give to me, I pray thee, of the love-apples of thy son.'

15 Na ko te meatanga a tera ki a ia, He mea nohinohi ianei tau tangohanga i taku tahu? a me tango ano koe i nga manitareki a taku tama? A ka mea atu a Rahera, Na, me takoto ia ki a koe i tenei po hei utu mo nga manitareki a tau tama.

And she saith to her, 'Is thy taking my husband a little thing, that thou hast taken also the love-apples of my son?' and Rachel saith, 'Therefore doth he lie with thee to-night, for thy son's love-apples.'

16 A i te ahiahi ka, haere mai a Hakopa i te mara, na ka puta atu a Rea ki te whakatau i a ia, ka mea, Me haere mai koe ki ahau; kua oti hoki koe te hoko e ahau ki nga manitareki a taku tama. Na ka takoto ia ki a ia i taua po.

And Jacob cometh in from the field at evening; and Leah goeth to meet him, and saith, 'Unto me dost thou come in, for hiring I have hired thee with my son's love-apples;' and he lieth with her during that night.

17 I whakarongo hoki te Atua ki a Rea, a ka hapu ia, a ka whanau te tokorima o a raua tama ko Hakopa.

And God hearkeneth unto Leah, and she conceiveth, and beareth to Jacob a son, a fifth,

18 Na ka mea a Rea, Kua homai e te Atua toku utu, moku i hoatu i taku pononga ki taku tahu: a huaina ana e ia tona ingoa ko Ihakara.

and Leah saith, 'God hath given my hire, because I have given my maid-servant to my husband;' and she calleth his name Issachar.

19 Na ka hapu ano a Rea, a ka whanau te tokoono o a raua tama ko Hakopa.

And conceive again doth Leah, and she beareth a sixth son to Jacob,

20 Na ka mea a Rea, He pai te hakari i homai nei e te Atua ki ahau; katahi taku tahu ka noho ki ahau, mo te whanautanga o a maua tama tokoono: a huaina ana e ia tona ingoa ko Hepurona.

and Leah saith, 'God hath endowed me — a good dowry; this time doth my husband dwell with me, for I have borne to him six sons;' and she calleth his name Zebulun;

21 A muri iho ka whanau he kotiro, a huaina ana e ia tona ingoa ko Rina.

and afterwards hath she born a daughter, and calleth her name Dinah.

22 A i mahara te Atua ki a Rahera, i whakarongo hoki te Atua ki a ia, a whakatuwheratia ana e ia tona kopu.

And God remembereth Rachel, and God hearkeneth unto her, and openeth her womb,

23 Na ka hapu ia, a ka whanau he tama; a ka mea ia, Kua whakamutua e te Atua toku tawainga:

and she conceiveth and beareth a son, and saith, 'God hath gathered up my reproach;'

24 Na huaina ana e ia tona ingoa ko Hohepa: a ka mea, Ka tapiritia mai e Ihowa tetahi atu tama maku.

and she calleth his name Joseph, saying, 'Jehovah is adding to me another son.'

25 Na, ka whanau ra a Hohepa i a Rahera, ka mea a Hakopa ki a Rapana, Tukua ahau, kia haere ai ahau ki toku ake wahi, ki toku whenua.

And it cometh to pass, when Rachel hath borne Joseph, that Jacob saith unto Laban, 'Send me away, and I go unto my place, and to my land;

26 Homai aku wahine me aku tamariki i mahi ai ahau ki a koe, a ka haere ahau: e mohio ana hoki koe ki taku mahi i mahi ai ahau ki a koe.

give up my wives and my children, for whom I have served thee, and I go; for thou — thou hast known my service which I have served thee.'

27 Na ka mea a Rapana ki a ia, Ki te mea e manakohia ana anau e koe, e noho: kua kite hoki ahau nau i manaakitia ai ahau e Ihowa.

And Laban saith unto him, 'If, I pray thee, I have found grace in thine eyes — I have observed diligently that Jehovah doth bless me for thy sake.'

28 I mea ano ia, Whakaritea ki ahau te utu mou, a ka hoatu e ahau.

He saith also, 'Define thy hire to me, and I give.'

29 A ka mea ia ki a ia, E mohio ana koe ki taku mahinga ki a koe, ki au kararehe hoki i ahau, to ratou peheatanga.

And he saith unto him, 'Thou — thou hast known that which I have served thee [in], and that which thy substance was with me;

30 I mua atu hoki i ahau he iti au mea, na kua nui noa atu tenei; a kua manaakitia koe e Ihowa ahakoa tahuri ahau ki hea, ki hea: na inaianei ahea ranei ahau mea ai hoki i tetahi mea mo toku ake whare?

for [it is] little which thou hast had at my appearance, and it breaketh forth into a multitude, and Jehovah blesseth thee at my coming; and now, when do I make, I also, for mine own house?'

31 A ka mea tera, Ko te aha taku e hoatu ai ki a koe? A ka mea a Hakopa, Kaua e homai tetahi mea ki ahau: ki te meatia mai e koe tenei mea aku, ka whangai ano ahau, ka tiaki i au hipi.

And he saith, 'What do I give to thee?' And Jacob saith, 'Thou dost not give me anything; if thou do for me this thing, I turn back; I have delight; thy flock I watch;

32 Ka tika ahau na waenganui i tau kahui katoa akuanei, a ka wehea i reira nga mea whai tongitongi katoa, nga mea purepure, me nga mea pakaka katoa i roto i nga hipi, me nga purepure, me nga mea whai tongitongi i roto i nga koati: a ko era hei utu moku.

I pass through all thy flock to-day to turn aside from thence every sheep speckled and spotted, and every brown sheep among the lambs, and speckled and spotted among the goats — and it hath been my hire;

33 Penei ka whakatikaia ahau e toku tika apopo ake nei, ina tae atu ki tou aroaro ki te utu moku: ko nga mea i roto i nga koati kahore nei he tongitongi, kahore he purepure, me nga mea kahore e pakaka i roto i nga hipi, he mea tahae tena naku.

and my righteousness hath answered for me in the day to come, when it cometh in for my hire before thy face; — every one which is not speckled and spotted among [my] goats, and brown among [my] lambs — it is stolen with me.'

34 Na ka mea a Rapana, Ae, pai tonu kia pena me tau i ki mai na.

And Laban saith, 'Lo, O that it were according to thy word;'

35 Na ka wehea e ia i taua rangi nga koati toa, nga mea whakahekeheke, me nga mea purepure, me nga koati uha e whai tongitongi ana, me nga mea purepure, nga mea he ma tetahi wahi, me nga mea pakaka o nga hipi, a hoatu ana ki nga ringa o ana tama;

and he turneth aside during that day the ring-streaked and the spotted he-goats, and all the speckled and the spotted she-goats, every one that [hath] white in it, and every brown one among the lambs, and he giveth into the hand of his sons,

36 Na ka whakatakiwatia e ia he takiwa i waenganui i a ia, i a Hakopa, kia toru nga ra e haerea ai; a ka whangai a Hakopa i nga hipi a Rapana i mahue iho.

and setteth a journey of three days between himself and Jacob; and Jacob is feeding the rest of the flock of Laban.

37 Katahi ka tikina e Hakopa etahi rakau mana, he papara mata, he aramona, he pereni; a tihorea ana e ia etahi tihorenga ma i aua mea, a ka meinga kia ata kitea te wahi ma o nga rakau.

And Jacob taketh to himself a rod of fresh poplar, and of the hazel and chesnut, and doth peel in them white peelings, making bare the white that [is] on the rods,

38 A i whakaturia e ia aua rakau i tihorea ra ki roto ki nga hake, ki roto ki nga waka wai, kia taurite mai ki nga hipi, ina haere nga hipi ki te inu; i whakahaputia hoki i te haerenga ki te inu.

and setteth up the rods which he hath peeled in the gutters in the watering troughs (when the flock cometh in to drink), over-against the flock, that they may conceive in their coming in to drink;

39 Na ka whakahaputia nga kahui ki mau i nga rakau, a he whakahekeheke, he mea tongitongi, he purepure nga kuao i whanau.

and the flocks conceive at the rods, and the flock beareth ring-streaked, speckled, and spotted ones.

40 Na ka wehea atu nga reme e Hakopa, a whakaangahia ana e ia nga kanohi o nga kahui ki nga mea whakahekeheke, ki nga mea pakaka katoa i roto i te kahui a Rapana; na ko ana ake kahui i wehea e ia ki te whanga, kihai hoki i tukua ki roto ki te kahui a Rapana.

And the lambs hath Jacob parted, and he putteth the face of the flock towards the ring-streaked, also all the brown in the flock of Laban, and he setteth his own droves by themselves, and hath not set them near Laban's flock.

41 Na, i nga wa katoa e whakahaputia ai nga mea kaha o te kahui ka whakaturia e Hakopa nga rakau ki te tirohanga a te kahui, ki roto ki nga hake, kia whakahaputia ai ratou ki waenga i nga rakau;

And it hath come to pass whenever the strong ones of the flock conceive, that Jacob set the rods before the eyes of the flock in the gutters, to cause them to conceive by the rods,

42 A ki te mea he ngoikore te kahui, kihai i whakaturia e ia: na i a Rapana nga mea ngoikore, a i a Hakopa nga mea kaha.

and when the flock is feeble, he doth not set [them]; and the feeble ones have been Laban's, and the strong ones Jacob's.

43 Na ka tino nui haere rawa taua tangata, a ka whai kahui nunui ano ia, me nga pononga wahine, me nga pononga tane, me nga kamera, me nga kaihe.

And the man increaseth very exceedingly, and hath many flocks, and maid-servants, and men-servants, and camels, and asses.
