ମୋଶାଙ୍କ ଲିଖିତ ପ୍ରଥମ ପୁସ୍ତକ 30
1 ଏଥିଉତ୍ତାରେ ଆପଣାଠାରୁ ଯାକୁବର ପୁତ୍ର ଜନ୍ମ ହେଲା ନାହିଁ, ଏହା ଦେଖି ରାହେଲ ଆପଣା ଭଗିନୀ ପ୍ରତି ଈର୍ଷା କରି ଯାକୁବକୁ କହିଲା, “ମୋତେ ସନ୍ତାନ ଦିଅ, ନୋହିଲେ ମୁଁ ମରିବି।”
Rachel realized that she was not becoming pregnant and giving birth to any children for Jacob. So she became jealous of her older sister, Leah, because Leah had given birth to four sons. She said to Jacob, “Enable me to become pregnant and give birth to children. If you do not do that, I [think I will]!”
2 ତହିଁରେ ରାହେଲ ପ୍ରତି ଯାକୁବର କ୍ରୋଧ ପ୍ରଜ୍ୱଳିତ ହେଲା; ପୁଣି, ସେ କହିଲା, “ମୁଁ କʼଣ ପରମେଶ୍ୱରଙ୍କର ପ୍ରତିନିଧି? ସେ ସିନା ତୁମ୍ଭକୁ ଗର୍ଭଫଳ ଦେଇ ନାହାନ୍ତି।”
Jacob became angry with Rachel and said, “(I am not God!/Am I God?) [RHQ] He is the one who has prevented you from becoming pregnant!”
3 ସେତେବେଳେ ରାହେଲ କହିଲା, “ଏହି ଦେଖ, ମୋହର ଦାସୀ ବିଲ୍ହା ଅଛି, ତାହାର ସହବାସ କର; ସେ ପୁତ୍ର ପ୍ରସବ କରି ମୋʼ କୋଳରେ ଦେଲେ ତାହା ଯୋଗୁଁ ମୁଁ ମଧ୍ୟ ପୁତ୍ରବତୀ ହେବି।”
Then she said, “Look, here is my female slave, Bilhah. (Sleep with/Have sex with) [EUP] her, so that she may become pregnant and give birth to children for me. In that way it will be as though (I have children/her children are mine).”
4 ପୁଣି, ସେ ଆପଣା ଦାସୀ ବିଲ୍ହାକୁ ତାହା ସହିତ ବିବାହ ଦେଲା।
So she gave him her slave, Bilhah, to be another wife for him, and Jacob had sex [EUP] with her.
5 ତହୁଁ ଯାକୁବ ତାହାର ସହବାସ କରନ୍ତେ, ବିଲ୍ହା ଗର୍ଭବତୀ ହୋଇ ଯାକୁବର ଗୋଟିଏ ପୁତ୍ର ପ୍ରସବ କଲା।
She became pregnant and bore Jacob a son.
6 ସେତେବେଳେ ରାହେଲ କହିଲା, “ପରମେଶ୍ୱର ମୋହର ବିଚାର କଲେ, ମଧ୍ୟ ମୋହର କାକୂକ୍ତି ଶୁଣି ମୋତେ ପୁତ୍ର ଦେଲେ,” ଏଥିପାଇଁ ସେ ତାହାର ନାମ ଦାନ୍ (ବିଚାର) ରଖିଲା।
Rachel said, “God has (vindicated me/judged my case and has decided that what I have done is right). He has also heard my requests and has given me a son.” So she named him Dan, [which sounds like the Hebrew word that means ‘he judged’].
7 ଏଥିଉତ୍ତାରେ ରାହେଲର ଦାସୀ ବିଲ୍ହା ପୁନର୍ବାର ଗର୍ଭଧାରଣ କରି ଯାକୁବ ପାଇଁ ଦ୍ୱିତୀୟ ପୁତ୍ର ପ୍ରସବ କଲା।
Later, Rachel’s slave Bilhah became pregnant again and gave birth to another son for Jacob.
8 ସେତେବେଳେ ରାହେଲ କହିଲା, “ମୁଁ ଭଗିନୀ ସହିତ ପରମେଶ୍ୱର ସମ୍ବନ୍ଧୀୟ ମଲ୍ଲଯୁଦ୍ଧ କରି ଜୟ କଲି,” ଏଥିପାଇଁ ସେ ତାହାର ନାମ ନପ୍ତାଲି (ମଲ୍ଲଯୁଦ୍ଧ) ରଖିଲା।
Then Rachel said, “I have had a great struggle to have children like my older sister, but truly I have a son.” So she named him Naphtali, [which sounds like the Hebrew word that means ‘struggle’].
9 ଏଥିଉତ୍ତାରେ ଲେୟା ଆପଣାର ଗର୍ଭନିବୃତ୍ତି ବୁଝି ଆପଣାର ସିଳ୍ପା ନାମ୍ନୀ ଦାସୀକୁ ଘେନି ଯାକୁବ ସହିତ ବିବାହ ଦେଲା।
When Leah realized that she was not becoming pregnant and giving birth to any more children, she took her female slave, Zilpah, and gave her to Jacob to be another wife for him.
10 ତହିଁରେ ଲେୟାର ଦାସୀ ସିଳ୍ପାଠାରୁ ଯାକୁବର ଗୋଟିଏ ପୁତ୍ର ଜାତ ହେଲା।
Zilpah soon became pregnant and gave birth to a son for Jacob.
11 ତହୁଁ ଲେୟା କହିଲା, “ଏ କି ସୌଭାଗ୍ୟ!” ଏଥିପାଇଁ ତାହାର ନାମ ଗାଦ୍ (ସୌଭାଗ୍ୟ) ରଖିଲା।
Leah said, “I am truly fortunate!” So she named him Gad, [which means ‘fortunate’].
12 ଏଥିଉତ୍ତାରେ ଲେୟାର ଦାସୀ ସିଳ୍ପା ଯାକୁବ ପାଇଁ ଦ୍ୱିତୀୟ ପୁତ୍ର ପ୍ରସବ କଲା।
Later Leah’s slave, Zilpah, gave birth to another son for Jacob.
13 ତହିଁରେ ଲେୟା କହିଲା, “ମୋହର କି ଆନନ୍ଦ! ଯୁବତୀଗଣ ମୋତେ ଆନନ୍ଦିନୀ ବୋଲିବେ,” ଏଥିପାଇଁ ସେ ତାହାର ନାମ ଆଶେର (ଆନନ୍ଦ) ରଖିଲା।
Leah said, “Now I am very happy, and people will call me happy.” So she named him Asher, [which means ‘happy].’
14 ଏଥିଉତ୍ତାରେ ଗହମ କଟା ସମୟରେ ରୁବେନ୍ ବାହାରେ ଯାଇ କ୍ଷେତରୁ ଦୂଦାଫଳ ପାଇ ଆଣି ଆପଣା ମାତା ଲେୟାକୁ ଦେଲା। ତହୁଁ ରାହେଲ ଲେୟାକୁ କହିଲା, “ତୁମ୍ଭ ପୁତ୍ର ଆଣିଥିବା ଦୂଦାଫଳ କିଛି ମୋତେ ଦିଅ।”
When it was time to harvest wheat, Reuben went out into the fields and saw some (mandrakes/plants that women eat to help them to become pregnant). He brought some of them to his mother Leah. But Rachel saw them and said to Leah, “Please give me some of those plants that your son brought to you!”
15 ତହିଁରେ ସେ କହିଲା, “ତୁମ୍ଭେ ମୋʼ ସ୍ୱାମୀକୁ ହରଣ କରିଅଛ, ଏ କି ଅଳ୍ପ ବିଷୟ? ତୁମ୍ଭେ ମୋʼ ପୁତ୍ରର ଦୂଦାଫଳ ମଧ୍ୟ କି ହରଣ କରିବ?” ତେବେ ରାହେଲ କହିଲା, “ତୁମ୍ଭର ପୁତ୍ରର ଦୂଦାଫଳ ପରିବର୍ତ୍ତରେ ସେ ଆଜି ରାତ୍ର ତୁମ୍ଭ ସଙ୍ଗେ ଶୟନ କରିବେ।”
But Leah said to her, “No! (It was bad that you stole my husband!/Is it not bad enough that you stole my husband?) [RHQ] Now (are you going to take my son’s mandrake plants?/You want to take my son’s mandrake plants also, [so that you can become pregnant]!)” [RHQ] So Rachel said, “All right, Jacob can sleep with you tonight, if you give me some of your son’s mandrake plants.” [So Leah (agreed/gave her some)].
16 ଏଥିଉତ୍ତାରେ ସନ୍ଧ୍ୟା ବେଳେ କ୍ଷେତ୍ରରୁ ଯାକୁବର ଆଗମନ ସମୟରେ ଲେୟା ତାହା ସହିତ ସାକ୍ଷାତ କରିବା ନିମିତ୍ତ ବାହାରକୁ ଯାଇ କହିଲା, “ତୁମ୍ଭକୁ ମୋʼ କତିକି ଆସିବାକୁ ହେବ; କାରଣ ମୁଁ ଆପଣା ପୁତ୍ରର ଦୂଦାଫଳ ଦେଇ ତୁମ୍ଭକୁ ଭଡ଼ା ନେଲି।” ଏଣୁ ସେ ସେହି ରାତ୍ରି ତାହା ସହିତ କ୍ଷେପଣ କଲା।
When Jacob returned from the wheat fields that evening, Leah went out to meet him. She said, “You must sleep with me tonight, because I gave Rachel some of my son’s mandrakes [that enable women to become pregnant], to pay her for allowing us to do that.” So Jacob slept with her that night.
17 ତହିଁରେ ପରମେଶ୍ୱର ଲେୟାର ପ୍ରାର୍ଥନା ଶୁଣନ୍ତେ, ସେ ଗର୍ଭବତୀ ହୋଇ ଯାକୁବର ପଞ୍ଚମ ପୁତ୍ର ପ୍ରସବ କଲା।
God answered Leah’s prayers, and she became pregnant and bore a fifth son to Jacob.
18 ତେବେ ଲେୟା କହିଲା, “ମୁଁ ସ୍ୱାମୀକୁ ଆପଣା ଦାସୀ ଦେଇଥିଲି, ପରମେଶ୍ୱର ତାହାର ବେତନ ମୋତେ ଦେଇଅଛନ୍ତି,” ଏହେତୁ ସେ ତାହାର ନାମ ଇଷାଖର ରଖିଲା।
Leah said, “God has rewarded me for giving my slave to my husband to be another wife for him.” So she named him Issachar, [which sounds like the Hebrew word that means ‘reward’].
19 ଏଥିଉତ୍ତାରେ ଲେୟା ପୁନର୍ବାର ଗର୍ଭଧାରଣ କରି ଯାକୁବର ଷଷ୍ଠ ପୁତ୍ର ପ୍ରସବ କଲା।
Leah became pregnant again and bore a sixth son for Jacob.
20 ତହୁଁ ଲେୟା କହିଲା, “ପରମେଶ୍ୱର ମୋତେ ଉତ୍ତମ ଯୌତୁକ ଦେଲେ; ଏବେ ମୋʼ ସ୍ୱାମୀ ମୋʼ ସଙ୍ଗେ ବାସ କରିବେ, ଯେହେତୁ ମୁଁ ତାଙ୍କର ଛଅ ପୁତ୍ର ଜନ୍ମ କରିଅଛି,” ଏହେତୁ ସେ ତାହାର ନାମ ସବୂଲୂନ ରଖିଲା।
Leah said, “God has given me a precious gift. (This time/Now) my husband will honor/respect me, because I have given birth to six sons for him.” So she named him Zebulon, [which sounds like the Hebrew word that means ‘accepted gift’].
21 ଏଉତ୍ତାରେ ସେ ଏକ କନ୍ୟା ପ୍ରସବ କରନ୍ତେ, ତାହାର ନାମ ଦୀଣା ରଖିଲା।
Later she gave birth to a daughter, and named her Dinah.
22 ଏଥିଉତ୍ତାରେ ପରମେଶ୍ୱର ରାହେଲକୁ ସ୍ମରଣ କଲେ ଓ ପରମେଶ୍ୱର ତାହାର ପ୍ରାର୍ଥନା ଶୁଣି ତାହାକୁ ଗର୍ଭଧାରଣର ଶକ୍ତି ଦେଲେ।
Then God thought about what Rachel wanted. He heard her prayers and enabled her to become pregnant.
23 ତହୁଁ ସେ ଗର୍ଭବତୀ ହୋଇ ପୁତ୍ର ପ୍ରସବ କରି କହିଲା, “ପରମେଶ୍ୱର ଏବେ ମୋହର ଅପମାନ ଦୂର କଲେ।”
She became pregnant and gave birth to a son. She said, “God has caused that no longer will I be ashamed [for not having children].”
24 ଏଣୁ ସେ ତାହାର ନାମ ଯୋଷେଫ ଦେଇ, କହିଲା, “ସଦାପ୍ରଭୁ ମୋତେ ଆଉ ଏକ ପୁତ୍ର ଦିଅନ୍ତୁ।”
She named him Joseph, [which sounds like the Hebrew words that mean ‘may he give another’] and she said, ‘want Yahweh to give me another son.’
25 ଆଉ ରାହେଲଠାରୁ ଯୋଷେଫ ଜନ୍ମ ହେଲା ଉତ୍ତାରେ ଯାକୁବ ଲାବନକୁ କହିଲା, “ମୋତେ ବିଦାୟ କର, ମୁଁ ସ୍ୱ ସ୍ଥାନକୁ ଓ ନିଜ ଦେଶକୁ ଯିବି।
After Rachel had given birth to Joseph, Jacob said to Laban, “Now allow me to quit working for you and let me return to my own land.
26 ମୁଁ ଯେଉଁମାନଙ୍କ ନିମନ୍ତେ ତୁମ୍ଭର ଦାସ୍ୟକର୍ମ କରିଅଛି, ମୋହର ସେହି ଭାର୍ଯ୍ୟାମାନଙ୍କୁ ଓ ପୁତ୍ରଗଣକୁ ନେଇ ଯିବାକୁ ଦିଅ; ଯେହେତୁ ଯେଉଁ ପ୍ରକାରେ ତୁମ୍ଭର ଦାସ୍ୟକର୍ମ କରିଅଛି, ତାହା ତୁମ୍ଭେ ଜ୍ଞାତ ଅଟ।”
You know the work that I have done for you [for a long time to get my wives]. So let me take my wives and my children, and leave.”
27 ସେତେବେଳେ ଲାବନ ତାହାକୁ କହିଲା, “ବିନୟ କରୁଅଛି, ତୁମ୍ଭେ ମୋʼ ପ୍ରତି ଅନୁଗ୍ରହ କର, କାରଣ ତୁମ୍ଭ ସକାଶୁ ସଦାପ୍ରଭୁ ମୋତେ ଆଶୀର୍ବାଦ କରିଅଛନ୍ତି, ଏହା ମୁଁ ଗଣକତା ଦ୍ୱାରା ଜାଣିଅଛି।”
But Laban said to him, “If you are pleased with me, stay here, because I have found out by performing a magic ritual that Yahweh has blessed me because of what you have done for me.
28 ଏହେତୁ “ତୁମ୍ଭେ ଆପେ ନିଜ ବେତନ ସ୍ଥିର କର, ମୁଁ ତାହା ତୁମ୍ଭକୁ ଦେବି।”
Tell me what you want me to pay you for continuing to work for me, and that is what I will pay you.”
29 ତହୁଁ ଯାକୁବ ତାହାଙ୍କୁ କହିଲା, “ମୁଁ ତୁମ୍ଭର ଯେଉଁ ପ୍ରକାର ଦାସ୍ୟକର୍ମ କରିଅଛି ଓ ମୋʼ ନିକଟରେ ତୁମ୍ଭର ପଶୁଗଣ ଯେପରି ଅଛନ୍ତି, ତାହା ତୁମ୍ଭକୁ ଜଣାଅଛି।
Jacob replied, “You know how I have worked for you, and you know that your livestock have increased greatly as I have taken care of them.
30 କାରଣ, ମୋହର ଆସିବା ପୂର୍ବରେ ତୁମ୍ଭର ଅଳ୍ପ ସମ୍ପତ୍ତି ଥିଲା, ମାତ୍ର ଏବେ ବୃଦ୍ଧି ପାଇ ପ୍ରଚୁର ହୋଇଅଛି; ପୁଣି, ମୁଁ ଯେକୌଣସି ଜାଗାକୁ ତୁମ୍ଭର ମେଷପଲକୁ ଚରାଇବାକୁ ନେଲି ସଦାପ୍ରଭୁ ତୁମ୍ଭର ମଙ୍ଗଳ କରିଅଛନ୍ତି; ମାତ୍ର ମୁଁ ଆପଣା ପରିବାର ନିମନ୍ତେ କେବେ ସଞ୍ଚୟ କରିବି?”
You had only a few animals before I came here. But now you have very many, and Yahweh has caused them to increase greatly in number wherever I have taken them. But now I need to start taking care of the needs of my own family.”
31 ତହିଁରେ ଲାବନ କହିଲା, “ମୁଁ ତୁମ୍ଭକୁ କଅଣ ଦେବି?” ଯାକୁବ କହିଲା, “ତୁମ୍ଭକୁ କିଛି ଦେବାକୁ ପଡ଼ିବ ନାହିଁ; ଯଦି ତୁମ୍ଭେ ମୋʼ ପାଇଁ ଗୋଟିଏ କର୍ମ କରିବ, ତେବେ ମୁଁ ତୁମ୍ଭର ପଶୁମାନଙ୍କୁ ପୁନର୍ବାର ଚରାଇ ପ୍ରତିପାଳନ କରିବି।
Laban replied, “What do you want me to give you?” Jacob replied, “I do not want you to pay me anything. But if you will do this one thing for me, I will continue to take care of your flocks and protect them.
32 ଆଜି ମୁଁ ତୁମ୍ଭର ସକଳ ପଲ ମଧ୍ୟଦେଇ ଯାଇ ମେଷଗଣ ମଧ୍ୟରୁ ଚିତ୍ରବିଚିତ୍ର ଓ ବିନ୍ଦୁଚିହ୍ନିତ ଓ କଳାବର୍ଣ୍ଣର ମେଷମାନଙ୍କୁ, ପୁଣି, ଛାଗଳଗଣ ମଧ୍ୟରୁ ବିନ୍ଦୁଚିହ୍ନିତ ଓ ଚିତ୍ରବିଚିତ୍ର ଛାଗଳମାନଙ୍କୁ ପୃଥକ କରିବି; ସେହି ସବୁ ମୋହର ବେତନ ସ୍ୱରୂପ ହେବ।
Allow me to go and look at all of your flocks today and remove from them all the speckled sheep, all the spotted sheep, and every dark-colored lamb, all the goats that are speckled, and all the goats that are spotted, [and keep them for myself]. They will be my wages.
33 ଏଥିଉତ୍ତାରେ ଯେତେବେଳେ ତୁମ୍ଭ ସାକ୍ଷାତରେ ମୋହର ବେତନ ବିଷୟ ଉପସ୍ଥିତ ହେବ, ସେତେବେଳେ ମୋହର ଧାର୍ମିକତା ମୋʼ ବିଷୟରେ ସାକ୍ଷ୍ୟ ଦେବ, ଅର୍ଥାତ୍, ଛାଗଳମାନଙ୍କ ମଧ୍ୟରେ ଚିତ୍ରବିଚିତ୍ର ଓ ବିନ୍ଦୁଚିହ୍ନିତ ଛାଗଳ ଭିନ୍ନ ଓ ମେଷଗଣ ମଧ୍ୟରେ କଳାବର୍ଣ୍ଣର ମେଷ ଭିନ୍ନ ଯେତେ ଥିବେ, ତାହା ମୋହର ଚୋରି ରୂପେ ଗଣ୍ୟ ହେବ।”
In that way, in the future, you will be able to know whether I have been honest regarding what you have paid me. If any of my goats are neither speckled or spotted, or if any of my lambs are not dark-colored, you will know that I have stolen them from you.”
34 ତହୁଁ ଲାବନ କହିଲା, “ଭଲ, ତୁମ୍ଭ କଥାନୁସାରେ ହେଉ।”
Laban agreed and said, “Okay, we will do as you have said.”
35 ଏଥିଉତ୍ତାରେ ସେ ସେହି ଦିନ ରେଖାଙ୍କିତ ଓ ବିନ୍ଦୁଚିହ୍ନିତ ଛାଗସକଳ ଓ ଚିତ୍ରବିଚିତ୍ର ଓ ବିନ୍ଦୁଚିହ୍ନିତ ମଧ୍ୟ କିଞ୍ଚିତ ଶୁକ୍ଳବର୍ଣ୍ଣ ଛାଗୀସକଳ, ପୁଣି, କଳାବର୍ଣ୍ଣର ମେଷସକଳ ପୃଥକ ପୃଥକ କରି ଆପଣା ପୁତ୍ରମାନଙ୍କ ହସ୍ତରେ ସମର୍ପଣ କଲା;
But that same day Laban removed all the male goats that had black and white stripes on them or were spotted, and all the female goats that were speckled or spotted, all the goats that were partly white, and all the dark-colored lambs. He separated them and told his sons to take care of them.
36 ଆଉ ସେ ଆପଣାର ଓ ଯାକୁବର ମଧ୍ୟରେ ତିନି ଦିନର ପଥରୁ ଦୂରରେ ରଖିଲା; ପୁଣି, ଯାକୁବ ଲାବନର ଅବଶିଷ୍ଟ ପଶୁପଲ ଚରାଇବାକୁ ଲାଗିଲା।
Then he took these flocks and walked a distance of three days, in order that he could be that far from Jacob. Jacob continued to take care of the rest of Laban’s flocks.
37 ଆଉ ଯାକୁବ ଲିବ୍ନୀ ଓ ଲୂସ୍ ଓ ଅର୍ମୋନ୍ ବୃକ୍ଷର ନୂତନ ଶାଖା କାଟି ତହିଁରୁ ବଳ୍କଳ କାଢ଼ି କାଷ୍ଠର ଶୁକ୍ଳରେଖା ବାହାର କଲା।
Then Jacob cut some branches of (poplar, almond, and plane trees/three kinds of trees that had white wood). He peeled strips of bark from the branches, so that where the bark had been peeled off, the branches were light in color.
38 ଏଥିଉତ୍ତାରେ ଯେଉଁ ସ୍ଥାନକୁ ପଶୁଗଣ ଜଳ ପାନ କରିବା ନିମନ୍ତେ ଆସନ୍ତି, ସେହି ସ୍ଥାନରେ ସେମାନଙ୍କ ସମ୍ମୁଖସ୍ଥ ଜଳକୁଣ୍ଡ ମଧ୍ୟରେ ସେହି ବଳ୍କଳଶୂନ୍ୟ ଶାଖାସବୁ ଉଚ୍ଚ କରି ରଖିଲା; ତହୁଁ ଜଳ ପାନ କରିବା ସମୟରେ ସେମାନେ ଫଳବତୀ ହେଲେ।
Then he placed the peeled branches in the troughs where they put the water for the animals to drink, so that the branches would be in front of the flocks when they came to drink.
39 ପୁଣି, ସେହି ଶାଖା ନିକଟରେ ସେମାନଙ୍କର ସଙ୍ଗମ ହେବାରୁ ପଶୁମାନେ ରେଖାଙ୍କିତ ଓ ଚିତ୍ରବିଚିତ୍ର ଓ ବିନ୍ଦୁଚିହ୍ନିତ ଛୁଆ ପ୍ରସବ କଲେ।
The animals also mated in front of the branches, and eventually they gave birth to animals that were speckled, or to animals that were spotted, or to animals that had black and white stripes on them.
40 ତହିଁରେ ଯାକୁବ ସେହି ଛୁଆମାନଙ୍କୁ ଭିନ୍ନ ଭିନ୍ନ କଲା, ପୁଣି, ଲାବନର ରେଖାଙ୍କିତ ଓ କଳାବର୍ଣ୍ଣର ସବୁ ମେଷ ପ୍ରତି ମେଷୀମାନଙ୍କର ଦୃଷ୍ଟି ରଖାଇଲା; ଏହି ପ୍ରକାରେ ସେ ଲାବନର ପଲ ସହିତ ଆପଣା ପଲ ନ ରଖି ପୃଥକ କଲା।
Furthermore, Jacob separated the female sheep in his flock from the other sheep and goats in Laban’s flock. And when his female sheep mated, he made them look toward the animals that belonged to Laban that had black and white stripes on them, and the dark-colored animals. He did that so that the female sheep would give birth to animals that were striped or dark-colored. By doing that, he made bigger flocks for himself, and he kept them separate from Laban’s flocks.
41 ପୁଣି, ବଳିଷ୍ଠ ପଶୁଗଣ ଯେପରି ଶାଖା ନିକଟରେ ଗର୍ଭଧାରଣ କରନ୍ତି, ଏଥିପାଇଁ ଜଳକୁଣ୍ଡ ମଧ୍ୟରେ ପଶୁମାନଙ୍କ ସମ୍ମୁଖରେ ସେହି ଶାଖା ରଖିଲା; ମାତ୍ର ଦୁର୍ବଳ ପଶୁମାନଙ୍କ ସମ୍ମୁଖରେ ରଖିଲା ନାହିଁ;
In addition, whenever the stronger female sheep were ready to mate, Jacob put some of those peeled branches in the troughs in front of them, so that they would mate in front of the branches.
42 ତହିଁରେ ଦୁର୍ବଳ ପଶୁଗଣ ଲାବନର ଓ ବଳିଷ୍ଠ ପଶୁଗଣ ଯାକୁବର ହେଲେ।
But when weak animals were ready to mate, he did not put the branches in their troughs. So the weak ones became part of Laban’s flock, and the strong ones became part of Jacob’s flock.
43 ଏହେତୁ ଯାକୁବ ଅତିଶୟ ବର୍ଦ୍ଧିଷ୍ଣୁ ହେଲା, ପୁଣି, ତାହାର ପଶୁ, ଦାସଦାସୀ, ଓଟ ଓ ଗର୍ଦ୍ଦଭ ଯଥେଷ୍ଟ ହେଲେ।
As a result, Jacob became very rich. He owned many large flocks of sheep and goats, and many male and female slaves, and many camels and donkeys.
