Bilowgii 29
1 Yacquubna sodcaalkiisii buu iska sii watay, oo wuxuu yimid dalkii reer bari.
Then Jacob went on in his journey, and came into the east country.
2 Kolkaasuu wax fiiriyey, oo wuxuu arkay ceel berrinka ku dhex yaal, oo waxaa joogay saddex qaybood oo ido ah oo agtiisa jiifjiifa, maxaa yeelay, ceelkaasay idaha ka waraabin jireen. Dhagaxa ceelka afkiisa saarnaana aad buu u weynaa.
And he saw a well in the field, and three flocks of sheep lying by it: for the beasts were watered out of it, and the mouth thereof was closed with a great stone.
3 Oo halkaasaa idaha oo dhan lagu soo ururin jiray: kolkaasay dhagaxa ceelka afkiisa ka rogi jireen, oo idaha ka waraabin jireen, markaasay mar labaad dhagaxa ceelka afkiisa saari jireen oo ku celin jireen meeshiisii.
And the custom was, when all the sheep were gathered together to roll away the stone, and after the sheep were watered, to put it on the mouth of the well again.
4 Markaasaa Yacquub ku yidhi, Walaalahayow, xaggaad ka timaadeen? Iyana waxay yidhaahdeen, Waxaannu ka nimid Haaraan.
And he said to the shepherds: Brethren, whence are you? They answered: Of Haran.
5 Markaasuu ku yidhi, Ma taqaaniin Laabaan oo ah ina Naaxoor? Markaasay ku yidhaahdeen, Waannu naqaan.
And he asked them, saying: Know you Laban the son of Nachor? They said: We know him.
6 Markaasuu ku yidhi, Ma nabad qabaa? Iyana waxay yidhaahdeen, Haah, wuu nabad qabaa. Waa taas gabadhiisii Raaxeel idaha soo kaxaynaysa.
He said: Is he in health? He is in health, say they: and behold Rachel his daughter cometh with his flock.
7 Oo wuxuu ku yidhi iyagii, Bal eega, weli waa maalin weyn, mana aha goortii xoolaha la soo wada ururin lahaa. Idaha waraabiya, oo kaxeeya oo daajiya.
And Jacob said: There is yet much day remaining, neither is it time to bring the flocks into the folds again: first give the sheep drink, and so lead them back to feed.
8 Iyana waxay yidhaahdeen, Ma yeeli karno taas, jeeray idoyowga oo dhammu isu yimaadaan, oo dhagaxa ceelka afkiisa laga rogo; markaasaannu idaha waraabinaynaa.
They answered: We cannot, till all the cattle be gathered together, and we remove the stone from the well’s mouth, that we may water the flocks.
9 Oo intuu weli la hadlayay ayaa Raaxeel keentay idihii aabbeheed, waayo, iyadaa ilaalin jirtay.
They were yet speaking, and behold Rachel came with her father’s sheep: for she fed the flock.
10 Oo Yacquub markuu arkay Raaxeel oo ahayd gabadhii abtigiis Laabaan, iyo idihii abtigiis Laabaan, ayuu u dhowaaday, oo dhagaxii ka rogay ceelka afkiisa, oo uu waraabiyey idihii abtigiis Laabaan.
And when Jacob saw her, and knew her to be his cousin-german, and that they were the sheep of Laban, his uncle: he removed the stone wherewith the well was closed.
11 Markaasuu Yacquub Raaxeel dhunkaday, wuuna qayliyey oo ooyay.
And having watered the flock, he kissed her: and lifting up his voice, wept.
12 Yacquubna wuxuu Raaxeel u sheegay inuu yahay aabbeheed xigaalkiis, oo uu yahay wiilkii Rebeqah; kolkaasay orodday oo u sheegtay aabbeheed.
And he told her that he was her father’s brother, and the son of Rebecca: but she went in haste and told her father.
13 Oo Laabaan markuu maqlay warkii Yacquub oo ahaa wiilkii walaashiis ayuu ku orday inuu ka hor tago, markaasuu isku duubay, oo dhunkaday, oo uu gurigiisii keenay. Isna wuxuu Laabaan u sheegay waxyaalahan oo dhan.
Who, when he heard that Jacob his sister’s son was come, ran forth to meet him; and embracing him, and heartily kissing him, brought him into his house. And when he had heard the causes of his journey,
14 Laabaanna wuxuu ku yidhi isagii, Hubaal waxaad tahay laftayda iyo jidhkayga. Wuxuuna la joogay isagii intii bil ah.
He answered: Thou art my bone and my flesh. And after the days of one month were expired,
15 Markaasaa Laabaan Yacquub ku yidhi, Walaalkayga aad tahay aawadeed ma habboon tahay inaad mushahaarola'aan iigu shaqaysid? Bal ii sheeg, mushahaaradaadu maxay ahaan doontaa?
He said to him: Because thou art my brother, shalt thou serve me without wages? Tell me what wages thou wilt have.
16 Laabaanna wuxuu lahaa laba gabdhood: midda weyn magaceedu wuxuu ahaa Lee'ah, tan yar magaceeduna wuxuu ahaa Raaxeel.
Now he had two daughters, the name of the elder was Lia: and the younger was called Rachel.
17 Lee'ahna way indha darnayd, laakiinse Raaxeel way quruxsanayd, suurad wanaagsanna way lahayd.
But Lia was blear eyed: Rachel was well favoured, and of a beautiful countenance.
18 Yacquubna wuxuu jeclaa Raaxeel; markaasuu yidhi, Toddoba sannadood baan kuugu shaqayn gabadhaada yar oo Raaxeel ah.
And Jacob being in love with her, said: I will serve thee seven years for Rachel thy younger daughter.
19 Laabaanna wuxuu yidhi, Waa wanaagsan tahay inaan adiga ku siiyo intii aan iyada nin kale siin lahaa, ee ila joog.
Laban answered: It is better that I give her to thee than to another man; stay with me.
20 Yacquubna toddoba sannadood buu u shaqaynayay Raaxeel aawadeed; waxayna la ahaayeen maalmo yar, waana jacaylkii uu iyada u qabay aawadiis.
So Jacob served seven years for Rachel: and they seemed but a few days, because of the greatness of his love.
21 Yacquubna wuxuu Laabaan ku yidhi, Maalmahaygii way dhammaystirmeen; ee naagtayda i sii, si aan ugu tago iyada.
And he said to Laban: Give me my wife; for now the time is fulfilled, that I may go in unto her.
22 Markaasuu Laabaan soo ururiyey nimankii meeshaas joogay oo dhan, oo wuxuu sameeyey diyaafad.
And he, having invited a great number of his friends to the feast, made the marriage.
23 Oo waxay noqotay inuu fiidkii kaxeeyey gabadhiisii Lee'ah, oo uu u geeyey isagii; isna wuu u tegey iyadii.
And at night he brought in Lia his daughter to him,
24 Laabaanna wuxuu gabadhiisii Lee'ah siiyey Silfah oo isaga addoon u ahayd inay iyada addoon u noqoto.
Giving his daughter a handmaid, named Zelpha. Now when Jacob had gone in to her according to custom when morning was come he saw it was Lia:
25 Yacquubna wuxuu aroortii arkay inay tahay Lee'ah, oo wuxuu Laabaan ku yidhi, Waa maxay waxan aad igu samaysay? Miyaanan Raaxeel kuugu shaqaynayn? De maxaad haddaba ii khiyaanaysay?
And he said to his father in law: What is it that thou didst mean to do? did not I serve thee for Rachel? why hast thou deceived me?
26 Laabaanna wuxuu yidhi, Dhulkayaga sidaas laguma sameeyo in tan yar curadda la dhaafiyo.
Laban answered: It is not the custom in this place, to give the younger in marriage first.
27 Bal tan toddobaadkeeda dhammee, tan kalena waxaannu kugu siin doonnaa shuqulka aad toddoba sannadood oo kale ii shaqayn doontid.
Make up the week of days of this match: and I will give thee her also, for the service that thou shalt render me other seven years.
28 Yacquubna sidii buu yeelay, toddobaadkeediina wuu dhammeeyey. Markaasuu Laabaan Yacquub siiyey gabadhiisii Raaxeel inay naag u noqoto.
He yielded to his pleasure: and after the week was past, he married Rachel:
29 Laabaanna wuxuu gabadhiisii Raaxeel siiyey Bilhah oo isaga addoon u ahayd inay iyada addoon u noqoto.
To whom her father gave Bala for her servant.
30 Oo Raaxeelna wuu u tegey, oo isna Raaxeel aad buu uga jeclaa Lee'ah, toddoba sannadood oo kalena wuu u shaqeeyey isaga.
And having at length obtained the marriage he wished for, he preferred the love of the latter before the former, and served with him other seven years.
31 Rabbiguna wuxuu arkay in Lee'ah la nebcaaday, markaasuu maxalkeedii furay; laakiinse Raaxeel waxay ahayd madhalays.
And the Lord seeing that he despised Lia, opened her womb, but her sister remained barren.
32 Lee'ahna way uuraysatay, oo waxay dhashay wiil, magiciisiina waxay u bixisay Ruubeen, oo waxay tidhi, Sababtu waxaa weeye inuu Rabbigu dhibaatadayda arkay, oo haatan ninkaygu wuu i jeclaan doonaa.
And she conceived and bore a son, and called his name Ruben, saying: The Lord saw my affliction: now my husband will love me.
33 Oo haddana way uuraysatay mar labaad, waxayna dhashay wiil, oo waxay tidhi, Rabbigu waa maqlay in lay nebcaaday, oo haddaba taas aawadeed ayuu ii siiyey wiilkanna; magiciisiina waxay u bixisay Simecoon.
And again she conceived and bore a son, and said: Because the Lord heard that I was despised, he hath given this also to me: and she called his name Simeon.
34 Oo haddana mar kalay uuraysatay, oo waxay dhashay wiil, waxayna tidhi, Haatan ninkayga ayaa ila jiri doona, maxaa yeelay, saddex wiil baan u dhalay isaga; sidaas daraaddeed magiciisii waxaa loo bixiyey Laawi.
And she conceived the third time, and bore another son: and said: Now also my husband will be joined to me, because I have borne him three sons: and therefore she called his name Levi.
35 Oo haddana way uuraysatay, oo waxay dhashay wiil; oo waxay tidhi, Haatan Rabbigaan ammaani, sidaas daraaddeed waxay magiciisii u bixisay Yahuudah; wayna dhalmo daysay.
The fourth time she conceived and bore a son, and said: now will I praise the Lord: and for this she called him Juda. And she left bearing.
