Genesis 29
1 Nang magkagayo'y nagpatuloy si Jacob ng kaniyang paglalakbay, at napasa lupain ng mga anak ng silanganan.
Then Jacob went on his journey till he came to the land of the children of the East.
2 At siya'y tumingin, at nakakita ng isang balon sa parang, at narito, may tatlong kawan ng mga tupa na nagpapahinga sa tabi roon: sapagka't sa balong yaon pinaiinom ang mga kawan: at ang batong nasa ibabaw ng labi ng balon ay malaki.
And there he saw a water-hole in a field, and by the side of it three flocks of sheep, for there they got water for the sheep: and on the mouth of the water-hole there was a great stone.
3 At doon nagkakatipon ang lahat ng kawan: at kanilang iginugulong ang batong nasa ibabaw ng labi ng balon, at pinaiinom ang mga tupa, at muling inilalagay ang bato sa ibabaw ng labi ng balon, sa dako niyaon.
And all the flocks would come together there, and when the stone had been rolled away, they would give the sheep water, and put the stone back again in its place on the mouth of the water-hole.
4 At sinabi sa kanila ni Jacob, Mga kapatid ko, taga saan kayo? At kanilang sinabi, Taga Haran kami.
Then Jacob said to the herdmen, My brothers, where do you come from? And they said, From Haran.
5 At sinabi niya sa kanila, Nakikilala ba ninyo si Laban na anak ni Nachor? At kanilang sinabi, Nakikilala namin siya.
And he said to them, Have you any knowledge of Laban, the son of Nahor? And they said, We have.
6 At sinabi niya sa kanila, Siya ba'y mabuti? At, kanilang sinabi, Siya'y mabuti: at, narito, si Raquel na kaniyang anak ay dumarating na dala ang mga tupa.
And he said to them, Is he well? And they said, He is well, and here is Rachel his daughter coming with the sheep.
7 At sinabi niya, Narito, maaga pa, ni hindi oras tipunin ang mga hayop: painumin ninyo ang mga tupa, at inyo silang pasabsabin.
Then Jacob said, The sun is still high and it is not time to get the cattle together: get water for the sheep and go and give them their food.
8 At kanilang sinabi, Hindi namin magagawa hanggang sa magkatipon ang lahat ng kawan, at igugulong ang bato mula sa labi ng balon; gayon nga aming pinaiinom ang mga tupa.
And they said, We are not able to do so till all the flocks have come together and the stone has been rolled away from the mouth of the water-hole; then we will get water for the sheep.
9 Samantalang nakikipagusap pa siya sa kanila, ay dumating si Raquel na dala ang mga tupa ng kaniyang ama; sapagka't siya ang nagaalaga ng mga iyon.
While he was still talking with them, Rachel came with her father's sheep, for she took care of them.
10 At nangyari, nang makita ni Jacob si Raquel na anak ni Laban, na kapatid ng kaniyang ina, at ang mga tupa ni Laban na kapatid ng kaniyang ina, na lumapit si Jacob at iginulong ang bato mula sa labi ng balon, at pinainom ang kawan ni Laban, na kapatid ng kaniyang ina.
Then when Jacob saw Rachel, the daughter of Laban, his mother's brother, coming with Laban's sheep, he came near, and rolling the stone away from the mouth of the hole, he got water for Laban's flock.
11 At hinagkan ni Jacob si Raquel; at humiyaw ng malakas at umiyak.
And weeping for joy, Jacob gave Rachel a kiss.
12 At kay Raquel ay sinaysay ni Jacob na siya'y kapatid ni Laban, na kaniyang ama, at anak siya ni Rebeca: at siya'y tumakbo at isinaysay sa kaniyang ama.
And Rachel, hearing from Jacob that he was her father's relation and that he was the son of Rebekah, went running to give her father news of it.
13 At nangyari, nang marinig ni Laban ang mga balita tungkol kay Jacob, na anak ng kaniyang kapatid, ay tumakbo siya na kaniyang sinalubong, at kaniyang niyakap at kaniyang hinagkan, at kaniyang dinala sa kaniyang bahay. At isinaysay ni Jacob kay Laban ang lahat ng mga bagay na ito.
And Laban, hearing news of Jacob, his sister's son, came running, and took Jacob in his arms, and kissing him, made him come into his house. And Jacob gave him news of everything.
14 At sinabi sa kaniya ni Laban, Tunay na ikaw ay aking buto at aking laman. At dumoon sa kaniyang isang buwan.
And Laban said to him, Truly, you are my bone and my flesh. And he kept Jacob with him for the space of a month.
15 At sinabi ni Laban kay Jacob, Sapagka't ikaw ay aking kapatid ay nararapat ka bang maglingkod sa akin ng walang bayad? sabihin mo sa akin kung ano ang magiging kaupahan mo.
Then Laban said to Jacob, Because you are my brother are you to be my servant for nothing? say now, what is your payment to be?
16 At may dalawang anak na babae si Laban: ang pangalan ng panganay ay Lea, at ang pangalan ng bunso ay Raquel.
Now Laban had two daughters: the name of the older was Leah, and the name of the younger was Rachel.
17 At ang mga mata ni Lea ay mapupungay; datapuwa't si Raquel ay maganda at kahalihalina.
And Leah's eyes were clouded, but Rachel was fair in face and form.
18 At sininta ni Jacob si Raquel; at kaniyang sinabi, Paglilingkuran kitang pitong taon dahil kay Raquel na iyong anak na bunso.
And Jacob was in love with Rachel; and he said, I will be your servant seven years for Rachel, your younger daughter.
19 At sinabi ni Laban, Magaling ang ibigay ko siya sa iyo, kay sa ibigay ko sa iba: matira ka sa akin.
And Laban said, It is better for you to have her than another man: go on living here with me.
20 At naglingkod si Jacob dahil kay Raquel, na pitong taon; at sa kaniya'y naging parang ilang araw, dahil sa pagibig na taglay niya sa kaniya.
And Jacob did seven years' work for Rachel; and because of his love for her it seemed to him only a very little time.
21 At sinabi ni Jacob kay Laban, Ibigay mo sa akin ang aking asawa, sapagka't naganap na ang aking mga araw upang ako'y sumiping sa kaniya.
Then Jacob said to Laban, Give me my wife so that I may have her, for the days are ended.
22 At pinisan ni Laban ang lahat ng tao roon at siya'y gumawa ng isang piging.
And Laban got together all the men of the place and gave a feast.
23 At nangyari nang kinagabihan, na kaniyang kinuha si Lea na kaniyang anak at dinala niya kay Jacob, at siya'y sumiping sa kaniya.
And in the evening he took Leah, his daughter, and gave her to him, and he went in to her.
24 At sa kaniyang anak na kay Lea ay ibinigay na pinaka alilang babae ang kaniyang alilang si Zilpa.
And Laban gave Zilpah, his servant-girl, to Leah, to be her waiting-woman.
25 At nangyari, na sa kinaumagahan, narito't si Lea: at kaniyang sinabi kay Laban: Ano itong ginawa mo sa akin? Hindi ba kita pinaglingkuran dahil kay Raquel? Bakit mo nga ako dinaya?
And in the morning Jacob saw that it was Leah: and he said to Laban, What have you done to me? was I not working for you so that I might have Rachel? why have you been false to me?
26 At sinabi ni Laban, Hindi ginagawa ang ganyan dito sa aming dako, na ibinibigay ang bunso, bago ang panganay.
And Laban said, In our country we do not let the younger daughter be married before the older.
27 Tapusin mo ang kaniyang sanglingo, at ibibigay rin naman namin sa iyo ang isa, dahil sa paglilingkod na gagawin mong pitong taon pa, sa akin.
Let the week of the bride-feast come to its end and then we will give you the other in addition, if you will be my servant for another seven years.
28 At gayon ang ginawa ni Jacob, at tinapos niya ang sanglingo nito, at ibinigay ni Laban sa kaniya si Raquel na kaniyang anak na maging asawa niya.
And Jacob did so; and when the week was ended, Laban gave him his daughter Rachel for his wife.
29 At sa kaniyang anak na kay Raquel ay ibinigay ni Laban na pinaka alilang babae ang kaniyang alilang si Bilha.
And Laban gave Rachel his servant-girl Bilhah to be her waiting-woman.
30 At sumiping din naman si Jacob kay Raquel, at kaniya namang inibig si Raquel ng higit kay Lea, at naglingkod siya kay Laban na pitong taon pa.
Then Jacob took Rachel as his wife, and his love for her was greater than his love for Leah; and he went on working for Laban for another seven years.
31 At nakita ng Panginoon na si Lea ay kinapopootan niya, at binuksan ang kaniyang bahay-bata; datapuwa't si Raquel ay baog.
Now the Lord, seeing that Leah was not loved, gave her a child; while Rachel had no children.
32 At naglihi si Lea, at nanganak ng isang lalake, at tinawag niya ang kaniyang pangalan na Ruben; sapagka't kaniyang sinabi, Sapagka't nilingap ng Panginoon ang aking kapighatian; dahil sa ngayo'y mamahalin ako ng aking asawa.
And Leah was with child, and gave birth to a son to whom she gave the name Reuben: for she said, The Lord has seen my sorrow; now my husband will have love for me.
33 At naglihi uli, at nanganak ng isang lalake; at nagsabi, Sapagka't narinig ng Panginoon na ako'y kinapopootan ay ibinigay rin naman sa akin ito: at pinanganlan niyang Simeon.
Then she became with child again, and gave birth to a son; and said, Because it has come to the Lord's ears that I am not loved, he has given me this son in addition: and she gave him the name Simeon.
34 At naglihi uli at nanganak ng isang lalake; at nagsabi, Ngayo'y masasama na sa akin ang aking asawa, sapagka't nagkaanak ako sa kaniya ng tatlong lalake: kaya't pinanganlan niyang Levi.
And she was with child again, and gave birth to a son; and said, Now at last my husband will be united to me, because I have given him three sons: so he was named Levi.
35 At muling naglihi at nanganak ng isang lalake, at nagsabi, Ngayo'y aking pupurihin ang Panginoon: kaya't pinanganlang Juda; at hindi na nanganak.
And she was with child again, and gave birth to a son: and she said, This time I will give praise to the Lord: so he was named Judah; after this she had no more children for a time.
