Uumama 29
1 Yaaqoobis karaa isaa itti fufee gara warra biyya baʼaa dhufe.
And Jacob continued his journey, and went into the land of the children of the east.
2 Innis ilaalee kunoo boolla bishaanii tokko dirree irratti arge; kunoo karri hoolotaa sadii sababii achii bishaan dhuganiif boolla bishaanii sana bira ciciisaa turan. Dhagaan afaan boolla bishaanii sanaa irra ture guddaa ture.
And he looked, and behold, there was a well in the fields, and behold there, three flocks of sheep were lying by it; for out of that well they watered the flocks, and a great stone was at the mouth of the well.
3 Yeroo karri hoolotaa hundi achitti walitti qabamanitti tiksoonni afaan boolla bishaanii irraa dhagaa gangalchanii hoolota bishaan obaasu turan. Ergasii immoo dhagaa sana iddoo isaatti deebisanii afaan boolla bishaanii irra kaaʼu turan.
And when all the flocks were gathered there, they rolled the stone from the mouth of the well, and watered the sheep, and put the stone again on the mouth of the well in its place.
4 Yaaqoobis tiksoota sanaan, “Yaa obboloota ko, isin warra eessaati?” jedhee gaafate. Isaanis, “Nu warra Kaaraaniiti” jedhanii deebisan.
And Jacob said to them, My brethren, whence are ye? And they said, Of Haran are we.
5 Innis, “Laabaa ilma Naahoor beektuu?” jedheen. Jarris, “Eeyyee, beekna” jedhanii deebisan.
And he said to them, Do ye know Laban the son of Nahor? And they said, We do know [him].
6 Yaaqoob immoo, “Inni fayyumaa?” jedhee isaan gaafate. Isaanis, “Eeyyee, fayyuma; kunoo intalli isaa Raahel iyyuu hoolota fiddee dhufaa jirti” jedhaniin.
And he said to them, Is he well? And they said, [He is] well; and behold, there comes Rachel his daughter with the sheep.
7 Innis, “Kunoo, amma lafti guyyaa dha; yeroo itti hoolonni walitti qabaman miti. Hoolota bishaan obaasaatii dhaqaa dheechisaa” jedheen.
And he said, Behold, it is yet high day; it is not time that the cattle should be gathered together; water the sheep, and go, feed [them].
8 Isaanis, “Nu hamma karri hoolotaa hundinuu walitti qabamanii dhagaan sun afaan boolla bishaanii irraa gangalfamutti hin dandeenyu; ergasii hoolota bishaan obaafna” jedhanii deebisan.
And they said, We cannot until all the flocks are gathered together, and they roll the stone from the mouth of the well, and we water the sheep.
9 Utuma inni jara wajjin haasaʼaa jiruu, Raahel waan tiksee turteef hoolota abbaa ishee ooftee dhufte.
While he was still speaking to them, Rachel came with her father's sheep, for she was a shepherdess.
10 Yaaqoob yommuu Raahel, intala obboleessa haadha isaa intala Laabaatii fi hoolota Laabaa argetti dhaqee dhagaa afaan boolla bishaanii irraa gangalchee hoolota eessuma isaa bishaan obaase.
And it came to pass when Jacob saw Rachel the daughter of Laban his mother's brother, and the sheep of Laban his mother's brother, that Jacob went near, and rolled the stone from the mouth of the well, and watered the sheep of Laban his mother's brother.
11 Yaaqoobis Raaheliin dhungate; sagalee ol fudhatees booʼe.
And Jacob kissed Rachel, and lifted up his voice and wept.
12 Inni fira abbaa ishee akka taʼee fi ilma Ribqaa akka taʼe Raahelitti hime; isheenis fiigaa dhaqxee abbaa isheetti himte.
And Jacob told Rachel that he was a brother of her father, and that he was Rebecca's son; and she ran and told her father.
13 Laabaan akkuma waaʼee ilma obboleettii isaa waaʼee Yaaqoob dhagaʼeen isa simachuuf ariifatee baʼe. Innis erga hammatee dhungatee booddee mana isaatti fudhatee gale; Yaaqoobis waan kana hunda Laabaatti hime.
And it came to pass when Laban heard the tidings of Jacob his sister's son, that he ran to meet him, and embraced him, and kissed him, and brought him to his house; and he told Laban all these things.
14 Laabaan immoo, “Ati dhugumaan foon kootii fi dhiiga koo ti” jedheen. Yaaqoob erga jiʼa tokko guutuu Laabaa wajjin turee booddee,
And Laban said to him, Thou art indeed my bone and my flesh. And he abode with him a month's time.
15 Laabaan akkana isaan jedhe; “Ati sababii fira koo taateef tola naa hojjechuu qabdaa? Mindaan kee akka hammam taʼuu qabu natti himi.”
And Laban said to Jacob, Because thou art my brother, shouldest thou serve me for nothing? tell me, what shall be thy wages?
16 Laabaan intallan lama qaba ture; maqaan ishee hangafaa Liyaa ture; maqaan ishee quxisuu immoo Raahel jedhama ture.
And Laban had two daughters: the name of the elder was Leah, and the name of the younger, Rachel.
17 Iji Liyaa dadhabaa ture; Raahel garuu bareedduu fi simboo qabeettii turte.
And the eyes of Leah were tender; but Rachel was of beautiful form and beautiful countenance.
18 Yaaqoob Raahelin jaallatee, “Ani waaʼee intala kee ishee quxisuu, Raaheliif jedhee waggaa torba sin tajaajila” jedheen.
And Jacob loved Rachel, and said, I will serve thee seven years for Rachel thy younger daughter.
19 Laabaan immoo, “Nama biraaf ishee kennuu irra siif kennuu naa wayya; asuma na bira turi” jedhe.
And Laban said, It is better that I give her to thee than that I should give her to another man: abide with me.
20 Kanaafuu Yaaqoob Raahelin argachuuf jedhee waggaa torba tajaajile. Inni waan ishee jaallateef waggoonni kunneen guyyoota muraasa isatti fakkaatan.
And Jacob served seven years for Rachel; and they were in his eyes as single days, because he loved her.
21 Yaaqoobis Laabaadhaan, “Waan yeroon koo xumurameef akka ani ishee bira gaʼuuf niitii koo naa kenni” jedhe.
And Jacob said to Laban, Give [me] my wife, for my days are fulfilled, that I may go in to her.
22 Kanaafuu Laabaan namoota iddoo sana jiran hunda walitti qabee cidha qopheesse.
And Laban gathered together all the men of the place, and made a feast.
23 Garuu yeroo lafti galgalaaʼetti intala isaa Liyaa fidee Yaaqoobiif kenne; Yaaqoobis ishee bira gaʼe.
And it came to pass in the evening, that he took Leah his daughter, and brought her to him; and he went in to her.
24 Laabaanis akka isheen hojjettuu ishee taatuuf garbittii isaa Zilfaa, intala isaa Liyaadhaaf kenne.
And Laban gave to her Zilpah, his maidservant, to be maidservant to Leah his daughter.
25 Yommuu lafti bariʼetti kunoo Liyaa taʼuun ishee beekame! Yaaqoobis Laabaadhaan, “Wanni ati na goote kun maali? Ani Raaheliif jedhee si hin tajaajillee? Yoos ati maaliif na gowwoomsite ree?” jedhe.
And it came to pass in the morning, that behold, it was Leah. And he said to Laban, What is this thou hast done to me? Have I not served thee for Rachel? Why then hast thou deceived me?
26 Laabaanis akkana jedhee deebise; “Biyya keenya keessatti intala hangafa dura intala quxisuu heerumsiisuun duudhaa keenya miti.
And Laban said, It is not so done in our place, to give the younger before the firstborn.
27 Torban misirrummaa intala kanaa raawwadhu; ergasii yoo ati waggaa biraa torba naaf hojjette quxisuu ishees siif kennina.”
Fulfil the week [with] this one: then we will give thee the other one also, for the service that thou shalt serve me yet seven other years.
28 Yaaqoobis akkasuma godhe. Torban sanas Liyaa wajjin dabarse; ergasiis Laabaan intala isaa Raahelin isatti heerumsiise.
And Jacob did so, and fulfilled the week [with] this one, and he gave him Rachel his daughter to be his wife.
29 Laabaan akka isheen hojjettuu ishee taatuuf xomboree isaa Bilihaa, intala isaa Raaheliif kenne.
And Laban gave to Rachel his daughter, Bilhah, his maidservant, to be her maidservant.
30 Yaaqoobis Raahel bira gaʼe; innis Liyaa caalaatti Raahelin jaallate. Waggoota biraa torbas Laabaaf hojjete.
And he went in also to Rachel; and he loved also Rachel more than Leah. And he served with him yet seven other years.
31 Waaqayyo yommuu akka Liyaan hin jaallatamin argetti gadameessa ishee baneef; Raahel garuu dhabduu turte.
And when Jehovah saw that Leah was hated, he opened her womb; but Rachel was barren.
32 Liyaan ulfooftee ilma deesse. Isheenis waan, “Waaqayyo dhiphina koo argeeraatii dhugumaan siʼachi dhirsi koo na jaallata” jetteef maqaa isaa Ruubeen jettee moggaafte.
And Leah conceived, and bore a son, and called his name Reuben; for she said, Because Jehovah has looked upon my affliction; for now my husband will love me.
33 Isheen ammas yommuu ulfooftee ilma deessetti, “Waaqayyo sababii akka ani hin jaallatamin dhagaʼeef ilma kanas naa kenne” jettee maqaa isaa Simiʼoon jettee moggaafte.
And she again conceived, and bore a son, and said, Because Jehovah has heard that I am hated, he has therefore given me this one also; and she called his name Simeon.
34 Ammas ulfooftee ilma deesse; isheenis, “Sababii ani ilmaan sadii isaaf daʼeef amma dhirsi koo natti maxxana” jette; kanaafuu mucaan sun Lewwii jedhamee moggaafame.
And she again conceived, and bore a son, and said, Now this time will my husband be united to me, for I have borne him three sons; therefore was his name called Levi.
35 Ammas isheen ulfooftee ilma deesse; isheenis, “Amma Waaqayyo nan galateeffadha” jette. Kanaafuu maqaa isaa Yihuudaa jettee moggaafte. Ergasiis daʼuu ni dhiifte.
And she again conceived, and bore a son, and said, This time will I praise Jehovah; therefore she called his name Judah. And she ceased to bear.
