Genesis 29
1 Pagkatapos nagpatuloy si Jacob sa kanyang paglalakbay at nakarating sa lupain ng mga mamamayan sa silangan.
Then Jacob went on in his journey, and came into the east country.
2 Nang siya ay nagmasid, mayroon siyang nakitang balon sa bukid, at nakita niya, na may tatlong mga kawan ng tupa na namamahinga sa paligid nito. Dahil mula sa balong iyon pinapainom nila ang mga kawan, at ang bato sa bunganga ng balon ay malaki.
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 Kapag sama-samang napagtipon ang lahat ng mga kawan doon, igugulong ng mga pastol ang bato mula sa bunganga ng balon at paiinumin ang mga tupa, at pagkatapos ibabalik muli ang bato sa bunganga ng balon, pabalik sa kinalalagyan nito.
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 Sinabi ni Jacob sa kanila, “Mga kapatid ko, saan kayo nanggaling?” At sinabi nila, “Kami ay nanggaling sa Haran”.
And he said to the shepherds: Brethren, whence are you? They answered: Of Haran.
5 Sinabi niya sa kanila, “Kilala ba ninyo si Laban na anak ni Nahor?” At sinabi nila, “Kilala namin siya”.
And he asked them, saying: Know you Laban the son of Nachor? They said: We know him.
6 Sinabi niya sa kanila “Mabuti ba ang kalagayan niya?” Sinabi nila, “Mabuti naman siya, at, tumingin ka roon, si Raquel na kanyang anak ay paparating kasama ang mga tupa.”
He said: Is he in health? He is in health, say they: and behold Rachel his daughter cometh with his flock.
7 Sinabi ni Jacob, “Tingnan mo, ito katanghaliang-tapat. Hindi pa oras para sa mga kawan na sama-samang tipunin. Painumin ninyo ang mga tupa at pagkatapos umalis kayo at hayaan silang manginain ng damo.”
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 Sinabi nila, “Hindi namin sila mapapainum hangga't hindi pa sama-samang natitipon ang mga kawan. Saka pa lamang igugulong ng mga kalalakihan ang bato mula sa bunganga ng balon, at paiinumin namin ang mga tupa.”
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 Habang si Jacob ay nakikipag-usap pa rin sa kanila, dumating si Raquel kasama ang mga tupa ng kanyang ama, dahil inaalagaan niya ang mga ito.
They were yet speaking, and behold Rachel came with her father’s sheep: for she fed the flock.
10 Nang makita ni Jacob si Raquel, anak na babae ni Laban, kapatid na lalaki ng kanyang ina, lumapit si Jacob, pinagulung ang bato mula sa bunganga ng balon, at pinainom ang kawan ni Laban, na kapatid ng kanyang ina.
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 Hinalikan ni Jacob si Raquel at umiyak ng malakas.
And having watered the flock, he kissed her: and lifting up his voice, wept.
12 Sinabi ni Jacob kay Raquel na siya ay kamag-anak ng kanyang ama, at siya ay anak ni Rebeca. Pagkatapos tumakbo si Raquel at sinabi niya sa kanyang ama.
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 Nang marinig ni Laban ang balita tungkol kay Jacob na anak ng kanyang kapatid na babae, siya ay tumakbo para salubungin siya, yakapin, halikan at dalhin sa kanyang bahay. Sinabi ni Jacob kay Laban ang lahat ng mga bagay na ito.
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 Sinabi ni Laban sa kanya, “Tunay nga na ikaw ay aking buto at laman,” Pagkataposnanatili si Jacob sa piling niya ng isang buwan.
He answered: Thou art my bone and my flesh. And after the days of one month were expired,
15 Pagkatapos sinabi ni Laban kay Jacob, “Pagsisilbihan mo ba ako sa wala dahil kamag-anak mo ako? Sabihin mo sa akin, ano ang iyong magiging kabayaran?”
He said to him: Because thou art my brother, shalt thou serve me without wages? Tell me what wages thou wilt have.
16 Ngayon si Laban ay may dalawang anak na babae. Ang pangalan ng nakatatanda ay Lea at ang pangalan ng nakababatang kapatid ay Raquel.
Now he had two daughters, the name of the elder was Lia: and the younger was called Rachel.
17 Si Lea ay may mapupungay na mga mata, pero si Raquel ay maganda sa anyo at itsura.
But Lia was blear eyed: Rachel was well favoured, and of a beautiful countenance.
18 Minahal ni Jacob si Raquel, kaya sinabi niya, “Maninilbihan ako sa iyo ng pitong taon para kay Raquel, ang iyong nakababatang anak na babae.”
And Jacob being in love with her, said: I will serve thee seven years for Rachel thy younger daughter.
19 Sinabi si Laban, “Mas mabuti na ibigay ko siya sa iyo, kaysa ibigay ko siya sa ibang lalaki. Manatili ka sa akin.”
Laban answered: It is better that I give her to thee than to another man; stay with me.
20 Kaya naninilbihan si Jacob ng pitong taon para kay Raquel; at tila ang mga ito ay parang iilang araw lamang sa kanya, dahil sa pagmamahal na mayroon siya sa kanya.
So Jacob served seven years for Rachel: and they seemed but a few days, because of the greatness of his love.
21 Pagkatapos sinabi ni Jacob kay Laban, “Ibigay mo na ang aking asawa, dahil ang mga araw ko ay natapos na—para mapakasalan ko na siya!”
And he said to Laban: Give me my wife; for now the time is fulfilled, that I may go in unto her.
22 Kaya tinipon ni Laban ang lahat ng mga lalaki sa lugar at nagpista.
And he, having invited a great number of his friends to the feast, made the marriage.
23 Kinagabihan, kinuha ni Laban si Lea na kanyang anak at dinala kay Jacob, na siyang sumiping sa kanya.
And at night he brought in Lia his daughter to him,
24 Binigay rin ni Laban ang kanyang babaeng lingkod na si Zilpa sa kanyang anak na si Lea, para maging lingkod niya.
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 Kinaumagahan, nagulat siya, dahil si Lea ang kasama niya! Sinabi ni Jacob kay Laban, “Ano ba itong ginawa mo sa akin?” Hindi ba nanilbihan ako sa iyo para kay Raquel? Bakit dinaya mo ako?”
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 Sinabi ni Laban, “Hindi namin kaugalian na ibigay ang nakababatang anak na babae bago ang panganay.
Laban answered: It is not the custom in this place, to give the younger in marriage first.
27 Tapusin mo ang isang linggong kasalan sa anak kong ito, at ibibigay rin namin sa iyo ang isa bilang kapalit ng iyong paninilbihan sa akin ng karagdagang pitong taon.”
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 Kaya ginawa iyon ni Jacob, at natapos ang isang linggo para kay Lea. Pagkatapos ay ibinigay ni Laban sa kanya si Raquel bilang kanyang asawa rin.
He yielded to his pleasure: and after the week was past, he married Rachel:
29 Ibinigay rin ni Laban si Bilha sa kanyang anak na babaeng si Raquel, para maging lingkod.
To whom her father gave Bala for her servant.
30 Kaya pinakasalan ni Jacob si Raquel, dahil minahal niya si Raquel nang mas higit pa kay Lea. Kaya nanilbihan si Jacob kay Laban ng karagdagang pitong taon.
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 Nakita ni Yahweh na si Lea ay hindi minahal, kaya binuksan niya ang kanyang sinapupunan, pero si Raquel ay walang anak.
And the Lord seeing that he despised Lia, opened her womb, but her sister remained barren.
32 Si Lea ay nagdalang-tao at nagsilang ng isang batang lalaki, at pinangalanan niyang Ruben. Sinabi niya, “Dahil nakita ni Yahweh ang aking paghihirap; tiyak ngayon na mamahalin na ako ng aking asawa.
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 Pagkatapos muli siyang nagdalang-tao at nagsilang ng lalaki. Sinabi niya, “Dahil narinig ni Yahweh na hindi ako minahal, kaya binigyan din niya ako ng anak na lalaki,” at pinangalanan niya itong Simeon.
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 Pagkatapos nagdalang-tao siya muli at nagsilang ng lalaki. Sinabi niya, “Ngayon, sa pagkakataong ito, ang aking asawa ay magiging malapit na sa akin dahil nakapagsilang ako para sa kanya ng tatlong lalaki.” Kaya nga ang kanyang pangalan ay tinawag na Levi.
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 Nagdalang-tao siya muli at nagsilang ng lalaki. Sinabi niya, “Sa pagkakataong ito pupurihin ko si Yahweh.” Kaya nga pinangalanan niya itong Juda; Pagkatapos huminto na siya sa pagkakaroon ng anak.
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.
