Genesis 30
1 At nang makita ni Raquel, na hindi siya nagkakaanak kay Jacob, ay nainggit si Raquel sa kaniyang kapatid; at sinabi kay Jacob, Bigyan mo ako ng anak, o kung hindi ay mamamatay ako!
Rachel realized that she was not becoming pregnant and giving birth to any children for Jacob. So she became jealous of her older sister, Leah, because Leah had given birth to four sons. She said to Jacob, “Enable me to become pregnant and give birth to children. If you do not do that, I [think I will]!”
2 At nagningas ang galit ni Jacob laban kay Raquel; at nagsabi, Ako ba'y nasa kalagayan ng Dios, na nagkait sa iyo ng bunga ng bahay-bata?
Jacob became angry with Rachel and said, “(I am not God!/Am I God?) [RHQ] He is the one who has prevented you from becoming pregnant!”
3 At sinabi niya, Narito ang aking alilang si Bilha, sumiping ka sa kaniya; upang manganak sa ibabaw ng aking mga tuhod, at magkaroon din naman ako ng anak sa pamamagitan niya.
Then she said, “Look, here is my female slave, Bilhah. (Sleep with/Have sex with) [EUP] her, so that she may become pregnant and give birth to children for me. In that way it will be as though (I have children/her children are mine).”
4 At ibinigay niyang asawa si Bilha na kaniyang alila: at sinipingan ni Jacob.
So she gave him her slave, Bilhah, to be another wife for him, and Jacob had sex [EUP] with her.
5 At naglihi si Bilha, at nagkaanak kay Jacob, ng isang lalake.
She became pregnant and bore Jacob a son.
6 At sinabi ni Raquel, Hinatulan ako ng Dios, at dininig din naman ang aking tinig, at binigyan ako ng anak: kaya't pinanganlang Dan.
Rachel said, “God has (vindicated me/judged my case and has decided that what I have done is right). He has also heard my requests and has given me a son.” So she named him Dan, [which sounds like the Hebrew word that means ‘he judged’].
7 At si Bilhang alila ni Raquel ay naglihi uli at ipinanganak ang kaniyang ikalawang anak kay Jacob.
Later, Rachel’s slave Bilhah became pregnant again and gave birth to another son for Jacob.
8 At sinabi ni Raquel, Ako'y nakipagbaka ng malaking pakikipagbaka sa aking kapatid, at ako'y nanaig: at siya'y pinanganlang Nephtali.
Then Rachel said, “I have had a great struggle to have children like my older sister, but truly I have a son.” So she named him Naphtali, [which sounds like the Hebrew word that means ‘struggle’].
9 Nang makita ni Lea, na siya'y hindi na nanganganak, ay kinuha si Zilpa na kaniyang alila at ibinigay na asawa kay Jacob.
When Leah realized that she was not becoming pregnant and giving birth to any more children, she took her female slave, Zilpah, and gave her to Jacob to be another wife for him.
10 At si Zilpa na alila ni Lea ay nagkaanak ng isang lalake kay Jacob.
Zilpah soon became pregnant and gave birth to a son for Jacob.
11 At sinabi ni Lea, Kapalaran! at pinanganlang Gad.
Leah said, “I am truly fortunate!” So she named him Gad, [which means ‘fortunate’].
12 At ipinanganak ni Zilpa na alila ni Lea, ang kaniyang ikalawang anak kay Jacob.
Later Leah’s slave, Zilpah, gave birth to another son for Jacob.
13 At sinabi ni Lea, Mapalad ako! sapagka't tatawagin akong mapalad ng mga babae: at tinawag niya ang kaniyang pangalan na Aser.
Leah said, “Now I am very happy, and people will call me happy.” So she named him Asher, [which means ‘happy].’
14 At yumaon si Ruben nang panahon ng paggapas ng trigo, at nakasumpong ng mga mandragoras sa bukid, at dinala sa kaniyang inang kay Lea. Nang magkagayo'y sinabi ni Raquel kay Lea, Ipinamamanhik ko sa iyo na bigyan mo ako ng mga mandragoras ng iyong anak.
When it was time to harvest wheat, Reuben went out into the fields and saw some (mandrakes/plants that women eat to help them to become pregnant). He brought some of them to his mother Leah. But Rachel saw them and said to Leah, “Please give me some of those plants that your son brought to you!”
15 At kaniyang sinabi, Kakaunti pa bang bagay na iyong kinuha ang aking asawa? at ibig mo pa ring kunin ang mga mandragoras ng aking anak? At sinabi ni Raquel, Kaya't sisiping siya sa iyo ngayong gabi, dahil sa mga mandragoras ng iyong anak.
But Leah said to her, “No! (It was bad that you stole my husband!/Is it not bad enough that you stole my husband?) [RHQ] Now (are you going to take my son’s mandrake plants?/You want to take my son’s mandrake plants also, [so that you can become pregnant]!)” [RHQ] So Rachel said, “All right, Jacob can sleep with you tonight, if you give me some of your son’s mandrake plants.” [So Leah (agreed/gave her some)].
16 At si Jacob ay umuwing galing sa bukid ng hapon, at sinalubong siya ni Lea, at sa kaniya'y sinabi, Sa akin ka dapat sumiping; sapagka't tunay na ikaw ay aking inupahan ng mga mandragoras ng aking anak. At sumiping siya sa kaniya ng gabing yaon.
When Jacob returned from the wheat fields that evening, Leah went out to meet him. She said, “You must sleep with me tonight, because I gave Rachel some of my son’s mandrakes [that enable women to become pregnant], to pay her for allowing us to do that.” So Jacob slept with her that night.
17 At dininig ng Dios si Lea: at siya'y naglihi at kaniyang ipinanganak kay Jacob ang kaniyang ikalimang anak.
God answered Leah’s prayers, and she became pregnant and bore a fifth son to Jacob.
18 At sinabi ni Lea, Ibinigay sa akin ng Dios ang aking kaupahan, sapagka't ibinigay ko ang aking alila sa aking asawa: at kaniyang pinanganlang Issachar.
Leah said, “God has rewarded me for giving my slave to my husband to be another wife for him.” So she named him Issachar, [which sounds like the Hebrew word that means ‘reward’].
19 At naglihi uli si Lea, at kaniyang ipinanganak ang kaniyang ikaanim na anak kay Jacob.
Leah became pregnant again and bore a sixth son for Jacob.
20 At sinabi ni Lea, Binigyan ako ng Dios ng isang mabuting kaloob; ngayo'y makikisama na sa akin ang aking asawa, sapagka't nagkaanak ako sa kaniya ng anim na lalake: at kaniyang pinanganlang Zabulon.
Leah said, “God has given me a precious gift. (This time/Now) my husband will honor/respect me, because I have given birth to six sons for him.” So she named him Zebulon, [which sounds like the Hebrew word that means ‘accepted gift’].
21 At pagkatapos ay nanganak siya ng babae, at kaniyang pinanganlang Dina.
Later she gave birth to a daughter, and named her Dinah.
22 At naalala ng Dios si Raquel, at dininig ng Dios, at binuksan ang kaniyang bahay-bata.
Then God thought about what Rachel wanted. He heard her prayers and enabled her to become pregnant.
23 At siya'y naglihi at nanganak ng lalake; at kaniyang sinabi, Inalis ng Dios sa akin ang kakutyaan ko:
She became pregnant and gave birth to a son. She said, “God has caused that no longer will I be ashamed [for not having children].”
24 At kaniyang tinawag ang pangalan niya na Jose, na sinasabi, Dagdagan pa ako ng Panginoon ng isang anak.
She named him Joseph, [which sounds like the Hebrew words that mean ‘may he give another’] and she said, ‘want Yahweh to give me another son.’
25 At nangyari, nang maipanganak ni Raquel si Jose, na sinabi ni Jacob kay Laban, Papagpaalamin mo ako upang ako'y makaparoon sa aking dakong tinubuan at sa aking lupain.
After Rachel had given birth to Joseph, Jacob said to Laban, “Now allow me to quit working for you and let me return to my own land.
26 Ibigay mo sa akin ang aking mga asawa at ang aking mga anak, na siyang kadahilanan ng ipinaglingkod ko sa iyo, at papagpaalamin mo ako: sapagka't talastas mo ang paglilingkod na ipinaglingkod ko sa iyo.
You know the work that I have done for you [for a long time to get my wives]. So let me take my wives and my children, and leave.”
27 At sinabi sa kaniya ni Laban, Kung ako'y nakasumpong ng biyaya sa harap ng iyong mga mata, matira ka: aking napagkilala, na pinagpala ako ng Panginoon dahil sa iyo.
But Laban said to him, “If you are pleased with me, stay here, because I have found out by performing a magic ritual that Yahweh has blessed me because of what you have done for me.
28 At kaniyang sinabi, Sabihin mo sa akin ang iyong kaupahan, at ibibigay ko sa iyo.
Tell me what you want me to pay you for continuing to work for me, and that is what I will pay you.”
29 At sinabi niya sa kaniya, Nalalaman mo kung paanong pinaglingkuran kita, at kung anong lagay ng iyong mga hayop dahil sa akin.
Jacob replied, “You know how I have worked for you, and you know that your livestock have increased greatly as I have taken care of them.
30 Sapagka't kakaunti ang tinatangkilik mo bago ako dumating, at naging isang karamihan; at pinagpala ka ng Panginoon saan man ako pumihit; at ngayo'y kailan naman ako maghahanda ng sa aking sariling bahay?
You had only a few animals before I came here. But now you have very many, and Yahweh has caused them to increase greatly in number wherever I have taken them. But now I need to start taking care of the needs of my own family.”
31 At sa kaniya'y sinabi, Anong ibibigay ko sa iyo? At sinabi ni Jacob, Huwag mo akong bigyan ng anoman: kung ito'y iyong gawin sa akin, ay muli kong papastulin at aalagaan ang iyong kawan.
Laban replied, “What do you want me to give you?” Jacob replied, “I do not want you to pay me anything. But if you will do this one thing for me, I will continue to take care of your flocks and protect them.
32 Dadaanan ko ang lahat mong kawan ngayon, na aking ihihiwalay doon ang lahat ng batikbatik at may dungis, at ang lahat na maitim sa mga tupa, at ang may dungis at batikbatik sa mga kambing: at siyang magiging aking kaupahan.
Allow me to go and look at all of your flocks today and remove from them all the speckled sheep, all the spotted sheep, and every dark-colored lamb, all the goats that are speckled, and all the goats that are spotted, [and keep them for myself]. They will be my wages.
33 Gayon ako sasagutan ng aking katuwiran sa haharapin, pagparito mo, tungkol sa aking kaupahan, na nasa harap mo; yaong lahat na walang batik at walang dungis sa mga kambing, at hindi maitim sa mga tupa, na masusumpungan sa akin, ay maibibilang mong nakaw.
In that way, in the future, you will be able to know whether I have been honest regarding what you have paid me. If any of my goats are neither speckled or spotted, or if any of my lambs are not dark-colored, you will know that I have stolen them from you.”
34 At sinabi ni Laban, Narito, mangyari nawa ayon sa iyong sabi.
Laban agreed and said, “Okay, we will do as you have said.”
35 At inihiwalay ni Laban ng araw ding yaon ang mga lalaking kambing na may batik at may dungis, at ang lahat ng babaing kambing na may batik at may dungis, lahat ng mayroong kaunting puti, at lahat ng maitim sa mga tupa, at ibinigay sa mga kamay ng kaniyang mga anak;
But that same day Laban removed all the male goats that had black and white stripes on them or were spotted, and all the female goats that were speckled or spotted, all the goats that were partly white, and all the dark-colored lambs. He separated them and told his sons to take care of them.
36 At siya'y naglakad ng tatlong araw ang pagitan kay Jacob; at pinakain ni Jacob ang nalabi sa mga kawan ni Laban.
Then he took these flocks and walked a distance of three days, in order that he could be that far from Jacob. Jacob continued to take care of the rest of Laban’s flocks.
37 At kumuha si Jacob ng mga sanga ng alamo, at almendro at kastano; at pinagbabakbakan ng mga batik na mapuputi, at kaniyang pinalitaw na gayon ang puti na nasa mga sanga.
Then Jacob cut some branches of (poplar, almond, and plane trees/three kinds of trees that had white wood). He peeled strips of bark from the branches, so that where the bark had been peeled off, the branches were light in color.
38 At kaniyang inilagay ang mga sangang kaniyang binakbakan sa mga bangbang, sa harap ng kawan, sa mga pinagpapainuman; na pinaparoonan ng mga kawan upang uminom; at nangaglilihi pagka nagsisiparoon upang uminom.
Then he placed the peeled branches in the troughs where they put the water for the animals to drink, so that the branches would be in front of the flocks when they came to drink.
39 At nangaglilihi ang mga kawan sa harap ng mga sanga at nanganganak ang mga kawan ng mga may guhit, may batik at may dungis.
The animals also mated in front of the branches, and eventually they gave birth to animals that were speckled, or to animals that were spotted, or to animals that had black and white stripes on them.
40 At ang mga korderong ito ay inihihiwalay ni Jacob, at inihaharap ang kawan sa dakong may batik, at ang lahat ng maitim sa kawan ni Laban; sa kaniyang ibinukod ang mga kawan niya rin, at hindi isinama sa kawan ni Laban.
Furthermore, Jacob separated the female sheep in his flock from the other sheep and goats in Laban’s flock. And when his female sheep mated, he made them look toward the animals that belonged to Laban that had black and white stripes on them, and the dark-colored animals. He did that so that the female sheep would give birth to animals that were striped or dark-colored. By doing that, he made bigger flocks for himself, and he kept them separate from Laban’s flocks.
41 At nangyari, na kailan ma't maglilihi ang mga malakas sa kawan, ay inilalagay ni Jacob ang mga sanga sa harap ng mga mata ng kawan sa mga bangbang, upang sila'y papaglihihin sa gitna ng mga sanga.
In addition, whenever the stronger female sheep were ready to mate, Jacob put some of those peeled branches in the troughs in front of them, so that they would mate in front of the branches.
42 Datapuwa't pagka ang kawan ay mahina ay hindi niya inilalagay, kaya't ang mahina ay nagiging kay Laban at ang malakas ay kay Jacob.
But when weak animals were ready to mate, he did not put the branches in their troughs. So the weak ones became part of Laban’s flock, and the strong ones became part of Jacob’s flock.
43 At ang lalake ay lumagong mainam; at nagkaroon ng malalaking kawan, at ng mga aliping babae at lalake, at ng mga kamelyo at ng mga asno.
As a result, Jacob became very rich. He owned many large flocks of sheep and goats, and many male and female slaves, and many camels and donkeys.
