Uumama 29
1 Yaaqoobis karaa isaa itti fufee gara warra biyya baʼaa dhufe.
And Jacob started and went to the land of the east to Laban, the son of Bathuel the Syrian, and the brother of Rebecca, mother of Jacob and Esau.
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 looks, and behold! a well in the plain; and there were there three flocks of sheep resting at it, for out of that well they watered the flocks, but there was a great stone 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 there were all the flocks gathered, and they used to roll away the stone from the mouth of the well, and water the flocks, and set the stone again in its place on the mouth of the well.
4 Yaaqoobis tiksoota sanaan, “Yaa obboloota ko, isin warra eessaati?” jedhee gaafate. Isaanis, “Nu warra Kaaraaniiti” jedhanii deebisan.
And Jacob said to them, Brethren, whence are you? and they said, We are of Charrhan.
5 Innis, “Laabaa ilma Naahoor beektuu?” jedheen. Jarris, “Eeyyee, beekna” jedhanii deebisan.
And he said to them, Know you Laban, the son of Nachor? 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 Rachel his daughter came with the sheep.
7 Innis, “Kunoo, amma lafti guyyaa dha; yeroo itti hoolonni walitti qabaman miti. Hoolota bishaan obaasaatii dhaqaa dheechisaa” jedheen.
And Jacob said, it is yet high day, it is not yet time that the flocks be gathered together; water you the flocks, and depart and 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 shall not be able, until all the shepherds be gathered together, and they shall roll away the stone from the mouth of the well, then we will water the flocks.
9 Utuma inni jara wajjin haasaʼaa jiruu, Raahel waan tiksee turteef hoolota abbaa ishee ooftee dhufte.
While he was yet speaking to them, behold, Rachel the daughter of Laban came with her father's sheep, for she fed the sheep of her father.
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 came and rolled away 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 cried with a loud voice and wept.
12 Inni fira abbaa ishee akka taʼee fi ilma Ribqaa akka taʼe Raahelitti hime; isheenis fiigaa dhaqxee abbaa isheetti himte.
And he told Rachel that he was the near relative of her father, and the son of Rebecca; and she ran and reported to her father according to these words.
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 name of Jacob, his sister's son, he ran to meet him, and embraced and kissed him, and brought him into his house; and he told Laban all these sayings.
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, You are of my bones and of my flesh; and he was with him a full month.
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, Surely you shall not serve me for nothing, because you are my brother; tell me what your reward is to be.
16 Laabaan intallan lama qaba ture; maqaan ishee hangafaa Liyaa ture; maqaan ishee quxisuu immoo Raahel jedhama ture.
Now Laban had two daughters, the name of the elder was Lea, and the name of the younger, Rachel.
17 Iji Liyaa dadhabaa ture; Raahel garuu bareedduu fi simboo qabeettii turte.
And the eyes of Lea were weak. But Rachel was beautiful in appearance, and exceedingly fair in 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 you seven years for your younger daughter Rachel.
19 Laabaan immoo, “Nama biraaf ishee kennuu irra siif kennuu naa wayya; asuma na bira turi” jedhe.
And Laban said to him, [It is] better that I should give her to you, than that I should give her to another man; dwell with me.
20 Kanaafuu Yaaqoob Raahelin argachuuf jedhee waggaa torba tajaajile. Inni waan ishee jaallateef waggoonni kunneen guyyoota muraasa isatti fakkaatan.
And Jacob served for Rachel seven years, and they were before him as a few days, by reason of his loving 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 marriage-feast.
23 Garuu yeroo lafti galgalaaʼetti intala isaa Liyaa fidee Yaaqoobiif kenne; Yaaqoobis ishee bira gaʼe.
And it was even, and he took his daughter Lea, and brought her in to Jacob, and Jacob went in to her.
24 Laabaanis akka isheen hojjettuu ishee taatuuf garbittii isaa Zilfaa, intala isaa Liyaadhaaf kenne.
And Laban gave to his daughter Lea, Zelpha his handmaid, as a handmaid for her.
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 was morning, and behold it was Lea; and Jacob said to Laban, What is this that you have done to me? did I not serve you for Rachel? and therefore have you deceived me?
26 Laabaanis akkana jedhee deebise; “Biyya keenya keessatti intala hangafa dura intala quxisuu heerumsiisuun duudhaa keenya miti.
And Laban answered, It is not done thus in our country, to give the younger before the elder.
27 Torban misirrummaa intala kanaa raawwadhu; ergasii yoo ati waggaa biraa torba naaf hojjette quxisuu ishees siif kennina.”
Fulfil then her sevens, and I will give to you her also in return for your labor, which you labor with 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 her sevens; and Laban gave him his daughter Rachel to wife.
29 Laabaan akka isheen hojjettuu ishee taatuuf xomboree isaa Bilihaa, intala isaa Raaheliif kenne.
And Laban gave to his daughter his handmaid Balla, for a handmaid to her.
30 Yaaqoobis Raahel bira gaʼe; innis Liyaa caalaatti Raahelin jaallate. Waggoota biraa torbas Laabaaf hojjete.
And he went in to Rachel; and he loved Rachel more than Lea; and he served him seven other years.
31 Waaqayyo yommuu akka Liyaan hin jaallatamin argetti gadameessa ishee baneef; Raahel garuu dhabduu turte.
And when the Lord God saw that Lea 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 Lea conceived and bore a son to Jacob; and she called his name, Ruben; saying, Because the Lord has looked on my humiliation, and has given me a son, now then 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 conceived again, and bore a second son to Jacob; and she said, Because the Lord has heard that I am hated, he has given to 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 conceived yet again, and bore a son, and said, In the present time my husband will be with me, for I have born him three sons; therefore she called his name, Levi.
35 Ammas isheen ulfooftee ilma deesse; isheenis, “Amma Waaqayyo nan galateeffadha” jette. Kanaafuu maqaa isaa Yihuudaa jettee moggaafte. Ergasiis daʼuu ni dhiifte.
And having conceived yet again, she bore a son, and said, Now yet again this time will I give thanks to the Lord; therefore she called his name, Juda; and ceased bearing.
