Genesis 29
1 Pagkatapos nagpatuloy si Jacob sa kanyang paglalakbay at nakarating sa lupain ng mga mamamayan sa silangan.
And Jacob started and went to the land of the east to Laban, the son of Bathuel the Syrian, and the brother of Rebecca, mother of Jacob and Esau.
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 looks, and behold! a well in the plain; and there were there three flocks of sheep resting at it, for out of that well they watered the flocks, but there was a great stone at the mouth of the well.
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 there were all the flocks gathered, and they used to roll away the stone from the mouth of the well, and water the flocks, and set the stone again in its place on the mouth of the well.
4 Sinabi ni Jacob sa kanila, “Mga kapatid ko, saan kayo nanggaling?” At sinabi nila, “Kami ay nanggaling sa Haran”.
And Jacob said to them, Brethren, whence are you? and they said, We are of Charrhan.
5 Sinabi niya sa kanila, “Kilala ba ninyo si Laban na anak ni Nahor?” At sinabi nila, “Kilala namin siya”.
And he said to them, Know you Laban, the son of Nachor? and they said, We do 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.”
And he said to them, Is he well? And they said, He is well. And behold Rachel his daughter came with the sheep.
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, it is yet high day, it is not yet time that the flocks be gathered together; water you the flocks, and depart and feed them.
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.”
And they said, We shall not be able, until all the shepherds be gathered together, and they shall roll away the stone from the mouth of the well, then we will 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.
While he was yet speaking to them, behold, Rachel the daughter of Laban came with her father's sheep, for she fed the sheep of her father.
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 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 came and rolled away the stone from the mouth of the well, and watered the sheep of Laban, his mother's brother.
11 Hinalikan ni Jacob si Raquel at umiyak ng malakas.
And Jacob kissed Rachel, and cried with a loud voice and 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 Rachel that he was the near relative of her father, and the son of Rebecca; and she ran and reported to her father according to these words.
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.
And it came to pass when Laban heard the name of Jacob, his sister's son, he ran to meet him, and embraced and kissed him, and brought him into his house; and he told Laban all these sayings.
14 Sinabi ni Laban sa kanya, “Tunay nga na ikaw ay aking buto at laman,” Pagkataposnanatili si Jacob sa piling niya ng isang buwan.
And Laban said to him, You are of my bones and of my flesh; and he was with him a full month.
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?”
And Laban said to Jacob, Surely you shall not serve me for nothing, because you are my brother; tell me what your reward is to be.
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 Laban had two daughters, the name of the elder was Lea, and the name of the younger, Rachel.
17 Si Lea ay may mapupungay na mga mata, pero si Raquel ay maganda sa anyo at itsura.
And the eyes of Lea were weak. But Rachel was beautiful in appearance, and exceedingly fair in 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 loved Rachel, and said, I will serve you seven years for your younger daughter Rachel.
19 Sinabi si Laban, “Mas mabuti na ibigay ko siya sa iyo, kaysa ibigay ko siya sa ibang lalaki. Manatili ka sa akin.”
And Laban said to him, [It is] better that I should give her to you, than that I should give her to another man; dwell 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.
And Jacob served for Rachel seven years, and they were before him as a few days, by reason of his loving her.
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 Jacob said to Laban, Give me my wife, for my days are fulfilled, that I may go in to her.
22 Kaya tinipon ni Laban ang lahat ng mga lalaki sa lugar at nagpista.
And Laban gathered together all the men of the place, and made a marriage-feast.
23 Kinagabihan, kinuha ni Laban si Lea na kanyang anak at dinala kay Jacob, na siyang sumiping sa kanya.
And it was even, and he took his daughter Lea, and brought her in to Jacob, and Jacob went in to her.
24 Binigay rin ni Laban ang kanyang babaeng lingkod na si Zilpa sa kanyang anak na si Lea, para maging lingkod niya.
And Laban gave to his daughter Lea, Zelpha his handmaid, as a handmaid for her.
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 it was morning, and behold it was Lea; and Jacob said to Laban, What is this that you have done to me? did I not serve you for Rachel? and therefore have you deceived me?
26 Sinabi ni Laban, “Hindi namin kaugalian na ibigay ang nakababatang anak na babae bago ang panganay.
And Laban answered, It is not done thus in our country, to give the younger before the elder.
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.”
Fulfil then her sevens, and I will give to you her also in return for your labor, which you labor with me, yet seven other 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.
And Jacob did so, and fulfilled her sevens; and Laban gave him his daughter Rachel to wife.
29 Ibinigay rin ni Laban si Bilha sa kanyang anak na babaeng si Raquel, para maging lingkod.
And Laban gave to his daughter his handmaid Balla, for a handmaid to her.
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 he went in to Rachel; and he loved Rachel more than Lea; and he served him seven other years.
31 Nakita ni Yahweh na si Lea ay hindi minahal, kaya binuksan niya ang kanyang sinapupunan, pero si Raquel ay walang anak.
And when the Lord God saw that Lea was hated, he opened her womb; but Rachel was 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 Lea conceived and bore a son to Jacob; and she called his name, Ruben; saying, Because the Lord has looked on my humiliation, and has given me a son, now then 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 she conceived again, and bore a second son to Jacob; and she said, Because the Lord has heard that I am hated, he has given to me this one also; 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 yet again, and bore a son, and said, In the present time my husband will be with me, for I have born him three sons; 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.
And having conceived yet again, she bore a son, and said, Now yet again this time will I give thanks to the Lord; therefore she called his name, Juda; and ceased bearing.
