Dud'uit Fefeu' a 29
1 Basa ma, Yakob lao nakandoo seriꞌ rulu neu.
Jacob continued on the road [MTY], and he arrived at the land that was east of Canaan.
2 Faiꞌ esa, ana nita oe mataꞌ sa deka kamboꞌ esa. Hiek-lombo nononggoꞌ telu, nea-nea rae rinu sia naa. Te fatu monaeꞌ esa tatana oe mataꞌ a.
There he [was surprised to] see a well in a field, and three flocks of sheep were lying near the well. It was the well from which shepherds habitually got water for their sheep. There was a large stone covering the top of the well.
3 Mia doo na, mete ma hiek-lombo basa se raꞌabꞌue, dei fo manatadꞌa ra oꞌo dinggoꞌ fatu a, fo hando oe fee se rinu. Basa fo, ara tatana baliꞌ oe mataꞌ a.
When all the flocks were gathered there, the shepherds would work together to roll the stone away from the top of the well and get water for the sheep. When they finished doing that, they would put the stone back in its place over the top of the well.
4 Yakob natane manatadꞌa ra nae, “Hei ma bee ima?” Ara rataa rae, “Hai, mia kambo Haran ia.”
[On that day], Jacob asked the shepherds who were sitting there, “Where are you from?” They replied, “We are from Haran.”
5 Yakob natane seluꞌ nae, “Mihine toꞌo Labꞌan ngga, do? Eni, Nahor anan.” Ara rataa rae, “Hai mihine.”
He asked them, “Do you know Laban, the grandson of Nahor?” They replied, “Yes, we know him.”
6 Ma Yakob natane fai nae, “Ana malolole, do?” Ara rataa rae, “Tou lasiꞌ a malolole. Sobꞌa mete dei. Naa, eni ana feto na, naran Rahel. Ana mboo nendi hiek-lombo nara rema rinu sia ia. De muhani e.”
Jacob asked them, “Is Laban well?” They replied, “Yes, he is well. Look! Here comes his daughter Rachel with the sheep!”
7 Basa ma Yakob olaꞌ nae, “Oras ia, feꞌe rereloꞌ. Malole lenaꞌ banda bee raꞌabꞌue sia ia ena, naa, hei fee se rinu leo. Basa fo, mboo mendi se nembe reu, fo raa selu uru.”
Jacob said, “Hey! The sun is still high in the sky. It is not time for the flocks to be gathered for nighttime. Give the sheep some water and then take them back to (graze/eat grass) in the pastures!”
8 Te ara rareresi rae, “We, nda taꞌo naa sa! Hai musi mihani manatadꞌa ra basa se mboo rendi banda ra raꞌabꞌue sia ia dei, fo hai feꞌe oꞌo dinggoꞌ fatu a, fo hani se.”
They replied, “No, we cannot do that until all the flocks are gathered here and the stone is removed from the top of the well. After that, we will give water to the sheep.”
9 Yakob feꞌe ola-olaꞌ no atahori ra ma, Rahel losa no ama na hiek-lombo nara. Eni mana biasa mboo banda naa ra.
While he was still talking with them, Rachel came with her father’s sheep. She was the one who took care of her father’s sheep.
10 Yakob nita Rahel ma hiek-lombo nara ma, ana neu oꞌo dinggoꞌ oe mataꞌ a tatana na. De hani toꞌo na banda nara.
When Jacob saw Rachel, the daughter of Laban, who was his mother’s brother, [Jacob was so excited that] he went over and [by himself] rolled away the stone that covered the top of the well, and he got water for his uncle’s sheep.
11 Basa ma, ana neu holu-idu Rahel, ma nggae.
Then Jacob kissed Rachel [on the cheek], and he cried loudly [because he was so happy].
12 Ana dui Rahel nae, “Odꞌi! Au ia, ho ama ma odꞌi na Ribka anan.” Boe ma, Rahel nela baliꞌ neu nafadꞌe ama na.
Jacob told Rachel that he was one of her father’s relatives, the son of her aunt Rebekah. So she ran and told that to her father.
13 Labꞌan rena Rahel dui soꞌal Yakob, eni odꞌi na Ribka anan ma, ana nelaꞌ neu soru e. Ara randaa ma, Labꞌan holu ma idu e. Basa ma, no Yakob ume neu, de Yakob dui basaꞌ e neu e.
As soon as Laban heard that Jacob, his sister’s son, was there, he ran to meet him. He embraced him and kissed him [on the cheek]. Then he brought him to his home, and Jacob told him all that had happened to him.
14 Ma Labꞌan olaꞌ nae, “Memaꞌ tebꞌe! Hita ruꞌa nggita bobꞌonggiꞌ!” Yakob leo no se losa fula esa ena ma,
Then Laban said to him, “Truly, you are part of my family!” After Jacob had stayed there and worked for Laban for a month,
15 Labꞌan olaꞌ no e nae, “Taꞌo ia, Ako! Au nda nau ho tao ues mudꞌaꞌ sa, huu ruꞌa nggita bobꞌonggiꞌ. Ho moꞌe nggadiꞌ baꞌu sa?”
Laban said to him “(You should not work for me for nothing just because you are a relative of mine!/Why should you work for me for nothing just because you are a relative of mine?) [RHQ] Tell me how much you want me to pay you.”
16 Labꞌan ana feton rua. Aꞌa ka, naran Lea, ma odꞌi ka, naran Rahel.
Well, Laban had two daughters. The older one was named Leah, and the younger one was named Rachel.
17 Lea, akaꞌ mata deke na fo maloleꞌ, te Rahel meulau na seli.
Leah had pretty eyes, but Rachel had a very attractive figure and was beautiful.
18 Yakob sue Rahel, de nataa Labꞌan nae, “Au tao ues fee toꞌo too hitu, sadꞌi toꞌo fee au sao ala Rahel.”
Jacob (was in love with/wanted very much to be married to) Rachel, and he said, “I will work for you for seven years. That will be my payment for your letting me marry your younger daughter, Rachel.”
19 Ma Labꞌan nataa nae, “Au nau! Malole lenaꞌ au fee ne sao nggo, fo au bobꞌonggi ngga. Naa fo, atahori feaꞌ afiꞌ sao rala e. De leo siaꞌ a ia, fo tao ues fee au.”
Laban replied, “It is better for me to let you marry her than for her to marry some other man!”
20 Boe ma Yakob tao ues too hitu, fo bisa sao Rahel. Huu ana sue Rahel seli, naa de, too hitu naa ra, ana medꞌa onaꞌ fai hiraꞌ a.
So Jacob worked for Laban for seven years to get Rachel, but to him it seemed like it was only a few days, because he loved her so much.
21 Basa too hitu naa ra ma, Yakob fee nesenenedꞌaꞌ neu Labꞌan nae, “Toꞌo! Au tao ues fee toꞌo too hitu ena. De fee au sao Rahel leo.”
After the seven years were ended, Jacob said to Laban, “Let me marry Rachel now, because the time we agreed upon for me to work for you is ended, and I want to marry her. [EUP]”
22 Boe ma, Labꞌan lemba-dꞌodꞌe se, de narolo basa atahori sia nusaꞌ naa.
So Laban gathered together all the people who lived in that area and made a feast.
23 Tetembaꞌ naa, Labꞌan nda fee Rahel sa, te ana fee Lea nisiꞌ Yakob lalaat na rala. De Yakob sungguꞌ no e. Mbila fefetu na ma, Yakob feꞌe bubꞌuluꞌ nae, eni sao Lea. De ana neu natane Labꞌan nae, “Saa de toꞌo eꞌedꞌik au? Au tao ues too hitu, fo ae sao Rahel! Taꞌo bee de nggati no Lea?” Ma Labꞌan nataa nae, “Afiꞌ mumunasa taꞌo naa! Tungga hai adat ma, odꞌiꞌ afiꞌ sao naꞌahuluꞌ aꞌaꞌ. Malole lenaꞌ taꞌo ia! Muhani lemba-dꞌodꞌeꞌ ia losa fai hitu basa dei. Basa fo, ho sao Rahel, sadꞌi ho tao ues fee au too hitu fai.” Boe ma Labꞌan fee ate ina na, naran Silpa, fo dadꞌi Lea ate na.
But that evening, instead of taking Rachel to Jacob, Laban took his older daughter, Leah, to him. But because it was already dark, he could not see that it was Leah and not Rachel, and he had sex [EUP] with her.
(Laban had already given his slave girl Zilpah to his daughter Leah to be her maid/servant.)
The next morning, Jacob was shocked to see that it was Leah who was with him! So he went to Laban [and told him] very angrily, “(What you have done to me is disgusting!/What is this that you have done to me?) [RHQ] I worked for you to get Rachel, did I not? So why did you deceive me?”
Laban replied, “In this land, it is not our custom to give a younger daughter to be married before we let someone marry our firstborn daughter.
After we finish this week of celebration, we will let you marry the younger one also. But in return, you must pay for Rachel by working for me for another seven years.”
28 Yakob o nau boe. Naa de, fefeta fai kahituꞌ a basa ma, Labꞌan naꞌasasaoꞌ Rahel no Yakob.
So that is what Jacob did. After the week of celebration was ended, Laban gave him his daughter, Rachel, to be his wife.
29 Labꞌan fee ate inaꞌ na esa fai, naran Bilha, fo dadꞌi Rahel ate na.
Laban gave his slave girl, Bilhah, to Rachel to be her maid/servant.
30 Basa ma, Yakob sungguꞌ no Rahel. Ana sue Rahel lenaꞌ Lea, de tao ues seluꞌ too hitu fee ama ari na.
Jacob had sex [EUP] with Rachel also, and he loved Rachel more than he loved Leah. And Jacob worked for Laban for another seven years.
31 LAMATUALAIN nahine Yakob sue Rahel lenaꞌ Lea. De Ana fee Lea bꞌonggi, te Rahel nda bꞌonggi sa.
When Yahweh saw that Jacob did not love Leah [very much], he enabled her to become pregnant. But Rachel was not able to become pregnant.
32 Lea nairu, de bꞌonggi ana touꞌ esa. Ana nae, “LAMATUALAIN memaꞌ nita au sususa ngga. Ia naa, sao ngga nau mete-seꞌu au, huu anaꞌ ia.” Naa de, ana babꞌae anaꞌ a, Ruben (lii na, naeꞌ a onaꞌ dedꞌeat esa fo sosoa na, ‘ana nita au sususa ngga ena’).
Leah gave birth to a son, whom she named Reuben, [which sounds like the Hebrew words that mean ‘Look, a son]!’ She said, “Yahweh has seen that I was miserable, and because of that he has given me a son. Now, surely my husband will love me for giving birth to a son for him.”
33 Basa ma, Lea nairu seluꞌ, de bꞌonggi ana touꞌ esa fai. Ana nae, “LAMATUALAIN rena au sao ngga nda tao mataꞌ neu au sa. Naa de, Ana fee au anaꞌ esa fai.” Naa de, ana babꞌae anaꞌ naa, Simeon (sosoa na ‘atahori rena ena’).
Later she became pregnant again and gave birth to another son. She said, “Because Yahweh has heard that my husband doesn’t love me, he has given me this son, too.” So she named him Simeon, [which means ‘someone who hears’].
34 Basa ma, Lea nairu seluꞌ, de bꞌonggi ana touꞌ esa fai. Ana nae, “No anaꞌ ia, au dedꞌeat ngga basa ena. Au sao ngga musi nenepaꞌaꞌ no au, huu au bꞌonggi fee ne ana touꞌ telu ena.” Naa de, ana babꞌae anaꞌ naa, Lewi (sosoa na ‘nenepaꞌaꞌ’).
Later she became pregnant again, and gave birth to another son. She said, “Now, finally, my husband will hold me close to him.” So she named him Levi, [which means ‘hold close’].
35 Basa ma, Lea nairu fai, de bꞌonggi ana touꞌ esa. Ana nae, “Oeꞌ ia, au ae koa-kio LAMATUALAIN!” Naa de, ana babꞌae anaꞌ naa, Yahuda (sosoa na mbei ma ‘koa-kio’). Basa naa ma, Lea nda bꞌonggi sa ena.
Later she became pregnant again and gave birth to another son. She said, “(This time/Now) I will praise Yahweh.” So she called his name Judah, [which sounds like the Hebrew word that means ‘praise’]. After that, she did not give birth to any more children [for several years].
