Genesisi 29
1 Ipapo Jakobho akapfuurira mberi norwendo rwake akasvika kunyika yavanhu vokumabvazuva.
Then Jacob went on his journey, and came to the land of the sons of the east.
2 Ikoko akaona tsime musango, namapoka matatu amakwai avete pedyo naro nokuti makwai ainwiswa patsime iroro. Ibwe rakanga riri pamuromo wetsime rakanga riri guru.
And he looked, and, behold, a well in the field. And, lo, three flocks of sheep were lying there by it, for they watered the flocks out of that well. And the stone upon the well's mouth was great.
3 Mapoka ose aiti aungana ipapo, vafudzi vaikungurutsa ibwe kubva pamuromo wetsime vachinwisa makwai avo. Ipapo vaizodzorera ibwe panzvimbo yaro, ipo pamuromo wetsime.
And all the flocks were gathered there. And they rolled the stone from the well's mouth, and watered the sheep, and put the stone again upon the well's mouth in its place.
4 Jakobho akabvunza vafudzi akati, “Mabvepiko, hama dzangu?” Ivo vakapindura vakati, “Tabva kuHarani.”
And Jacob said to them, My brothers, where are ye from? And they said, We are of Haran.
5 Iye akati kwavari, “Munoziva Rabhani, muzukuru waNahori here?” Vakapindura vakati, “Hongu, tinomuziva.”
And he said to them, Do ye know Laban the son of Nahor? And they said, We know him.
6 Ipapo Jakobho akavabvunza akati, “Anofara here?” Ivo vakati, “Hongu, anofara uye hoyo mwanasikana wake Rakeri ari kuuya namakwai.”
And he said to them, Is it well with him? And they said, It is well. And, behold, Rachel his daughter comes with the sheep.
7 Iye akati, “Tarirai, achiri masikati haisati yava nguva yokuti makwai aunganidzwe. Nwisai makwai mugoadzosera kumafuro.”
And he said, Lo, it is yet high day, neither is it time that the cattle should be gathered together. Water ye the sheep, and go and feed them.
8 Vakapindura vakati, “Hatigoni kudaro kusvikira mapoka ose aunganidzwa uye ibwe rakungurutswa kubva pamuromo wetsime. Ipapo ndipo patinozonwisa makwai.”
And they said, We cannot until all the flocks be gathered together, and they roll the stone from the well's mouth. Then we water the sheep.
9 Paakanga achiri kutaura navo, Rakeri akasvika namakwai ababa vake, nokuti akanga ari mufudzikadzi.
While he was yet speaking with them, Rachel came with her father's sheep, for she kept them.
10 Jakobho akati achiona Rakeri mwanasikana waRabhani, hanzvadzi yamai vake, uye namakwai aRabhani, akaendapo akandokungurutsa ibwe kubva pamuromo wetsime ndokubva anwisa makwai asekuru vake.
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 well's mouth, and watered the flock of Laban his mother's brother.
11 Ipapo Jakobho akatsvoda Rakeri akachema zvikuru.
And Jacob kissed Rachel, and lifted up his voice, and wept.
12 Uye akaudza Rakeri kuti iye akanga ari hama yababa vake uye ari mwanakomana waRabheka. Saka Rakeri akamhanya akandoudza baba vake.
And Jacob told Rachel that he was her father's brother, and that he was Rebekah's son. And she ran and told her father.
13 Rabhani akati angoudzwa mashoko pamusoro paJakobho, mwanakomana wehanzvadzi yake, akakurumidza kundosangana naye. Akamumbundikira, akamutsvoda akamuuyisa kumba kwake, uye ipapo Jakobho akamuudza zvose izvi.
And it came to pass, when Laban heard the news 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 Ipapo akati kwaari, “Iwe uri nyama yangu neropa rangu.” Shure kwokugara kwake naye mwedzi wose,
And Laban said to him, Surely thou are my bone and my flesh. And he abode with him the space of a month.
15 Rabhani akati kwaari, “Ungandishandira usingapuwi mubayiro nokuda kwokuti uri hama yangu here? Ndiudze kuti mubayiro wako unofanira kuva chii?”
And Laban said to Jacob, Because thou are my brother, should thou therefore serve me for nothing? Tell me, what shall thy wages be?
16 Zvino Rabhani akanga ana vanasikana vaviri; zita romukuru rainzi Rea uye zita romuduku rainzi Rakeri.
And Laban had two daughters. The name of the elder was Leah, and the name of the younger was Rachel.
17 Rea akanga ana meso akaneta, asi Rakeri akanga ane chimiro chinoyevedza uye akanaka kwazvo.
And Leah's eyes were weak, but Rachel was beautiful and well favored.
18 Jakobho aida Rakeri uye akati, “Ndichakushandirai kwamakore manomwe mugondipa Rakeri mwanasikana wenyu muduku.”
And Jacob loved Rachel, and he said, I will serve thee seven years for Rachel thy younger daughter.
19 Rabhani akati, “Zviri nani kuti ndimupe kwauri pano kumupa kuno mumwewo murume. Chigara hako pano neni.”
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 Saka Jakobho akashanda kwamakore manomwe kuti awane Rakeri, asi akaita samazuva mashoma chete kwaari nokuda kworudo rwake kwaari.
And Jacob served seven years for Rachel. And they seemed to him but a few days, for the love he had for her.
21 Ipapo Jakobho akati kuna Rabhani, “Ndipei mukadzi wangu. Nguva yangu yakwana uye ndinoda kuvata naye.”
And Jacob said to Laban, Give me my wife, for my days are fulfilled, that I may go in to her.
22 Saka Rabhani akaunganidza pamwe chete vanhu vose venzvimbo iyo akaita mutambo.
And Laban gathered together all the men of the place, and made a feast.
23 Asi akati ava madekwana, akatora mwanasikana wake Rea akamupa kuna Jakobho, Jakobho akavata naye.
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 Uye Rabhani akapa Ziripa murandakadzi wake kumwanasikana wake kuti ave mushandi wake.
And Laban gave Zilpah his handmaid to his daughter Leah for a handmaid.
25 Kwakati kwaedza mangwanani wanei ndiRea! Saka Jakobho akati kuna Rabhani, “Chiiko ichi chamaita kwandiri? Ndakashandira Rakeri, hazvisirizvo here? Seiko mandinyengera?”
And it came to pass in the morning that, behold, it was Leah. And he said to Laban, What is this thou have done to me? Did I not serve with thee for Rachel? Why then have thou beguiled me?
26 Rabhani akapindura akati, “Haisi tsika yedu kuno kuti mwanasikana muduku atange kuwanikwa mukuru achigere kuwanikwa.
And Laban said, It is not so done in our place, to give the younger before the firstborn.
27 Pedzisa vhiki youmwenga yomwanasikana uyu; ipapo tichazokupawo muduku shure kwokushandira mamwe makore manomwe.”
Fulfill the week of this one, and we will give thee the other also for the service which thou shall serve with me yet seven other years.
28 Uye Jakobho akaita saizvozvo. Akapedza vhiki naRea, uye ipapo Rabhani akamupa mwanasikana wake Rakeri kuti ave mukadzi wake.
And Jacob did so, and fulfilled her week. And he gave him Rachel his daughter to wife.
29 Rabhani akapa murandakadzi wake Bhiriha kuna Rakeri kuti ave mushandi wake.
And Laban gave to Rachel, his daughter, Bilhah his handmaid to be her handmaid.
30 Jakobho akavatawo naRakeri uye aida Rakeri kupfuura Rea. Uye akashandira Rabhani kwamamwe makore manomwe.
And he also went in to Rachel, and also he loved Rachel more than Leah, and served with him yet seven other years.
31 Jehovha akati aona kuti Rea akanga asingadikanwi, akazarura chizvaro chake, asi Rakeri akanga asingabereki.
And Jehovah saw that Leah was regarded inferior, and he opened her womb, but Rachel was barren.
32 Rea akava nemimba akabereka mwanakomana. Akamutumidza zita rokuti Rubheni, nokuti akati, “Jehovha akaona kutambudzika kwangu. Zvirokwazvo murume wangu achandida zvino.”
And Leah conceived, and bore a son, and she called his name Reuben. For she said, Because Jehovah has looked upon my affliction, for now my husband will love me.
33 Akabatazve pamwe pamuviri, uye akati abereka mwanakomana, akati, “Nokuti Jehovha akanzwa kuti handidikanwi, akandipa uyuzve.” Saka akamutumidza kuti Simeoni.
And she conceived again, and bore a son, and said, Because Jehovah has heard that I am regarded inferior, he has therefore given me this son also. And she called his name Simeon.
34 Akabatazve pamwe pamuviri uye akati abereka mwanakomana, akati, “Zvino pakupedzisira murume wangu achabatanidzwa neni, nokuti, ndamuberekera vanakomana vatatu.” Saka akamutumidza zita rokuti Revhi.
And she conceived again, and bore a son, and said, Now this time my husband will be joined to me, because I have borne him three sons. Therefore his name was called Levi.
35 Akabatazve pamwe pamuviri uye paakabereka mwanakomana, akati, “Nguva ino ndicharumbidza Jehovha.” Saka akamutumidza zita rokuti Judha. Ipapo akaguma kubereka vana.
And she conceived again, and bore a son. And she said, This time I will praise Jehovah. Therefore she called his name Judah. And she left off bearing.
