Genesis 29
1 Pagkatapos nagpatuloy si Jacob sa kanyang paglalakbay at nakarating sa lupain ng mga mamamayan sa silangan.
And Jacob lifts up his feet, and goes toward the land of the sons of the east;
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 field, and behold, there [are] three droves of a flock crouching by it, for they water the droves from that well, and the great stone [is] on 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.
(When all the droves have been gathered there, and they have rolled the stone from off the mouth of the well, and have watered the flock, then they have turned back the stone on the mouth of the well to its place.)
4 Sinabi ni Jacob sa kanila, “Mga kapatid ko, saan kayo nanggaling?” At sinabi nila, “Kami ay nanggaling sa Haran”.
And Jacob says to them, “My brothers, where [are] you from?” And they say, “We [are] from Haran.”
5 Sinabi niya sa kanila, “Kilala ba ninyo si Laban na anak ni Nahor?” At sinabi nila, “Kilala namin siya”.
And he says to them, “Have you known Laban, son of Nahor?” And they say, “We have known.”
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 says to them, “Does he have peace?” And they say, “Peace; and behold, his daughter Rachel is coming with the 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 he says, “Behold, the day [is] still great, [it is] not time for the livestock to be gathered; water the flock, and go, delight yourselves.”
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 say, “We are not able, until all the droves be gathered together, and they have rolled away the stone from the mouth of the well, and we have watered the flock.”
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.
He is yet speaking with them, and Rachel has come with the flock which her father has, for she [is] shepherdess;
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 comes to pass, when Jacob has seen Rachel, daughter of his mother’s brother Laban, and the flock of his mother’s brother Laban, that Jacob comes near and rolls the stone from off the mouth of the well, and waters the flock of his mother’s brother Laban.
11 Hinalikan ni Jacob si Raquel at umiyak ng malakas.
And Jacob kisses Rachel, and lifts up his voice, and weeps,
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 Jacob declares to Rachel that he [is] her father’s brother, and that he [is] Rebekah’s son, and she runs and declares [it] to 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.
And it comes to pass, when Laban hears the report of his sister’s son Jacob, that he runs to meet him, and embraces him, and kisses him, and brings him into his house; and he recounts to Laban all these things,
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 says to him, “You [are] surely my bone and my flesh”; and he dwells with him a month of days.
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 says to Jacob, “Is it because you [are] my brother that you have served me for nothing? Declare to me what your hire [is].”
16 Ngayon si Laban ay may dalawang anak na babae. Ang pangalan ng nakatatanda ay Lea at ang pangalan ng nakababatang kapatid ay Raquel.
And Laban has two daughters, the name of the older [is] Leah, 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 Leah [are] tender, and Rachel has been beautiful of form and beautiful of appearance.
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 loves Rachel and says, “I serve you seven years for Rachel your 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.”
and Laban says, “It is better for me to give her to you than to 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 serves for Rachel seven years; and they are in his eyes as some days, because 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 says to Laban, “Give up my wife, for my days have been fulfilled, and I go in to her”;
22 Kaya tinipon ni Laban ang lahat ng mga lalaki sa lugar at nagpista.
and Laban gathers all the men of the place, and makes a banquet.
23 Kinagabihan, kinuha ni Laban si Lea na kanyang anak at dinala kay Jacob, na siyang sumiping sa kanya.
And it comes to pass in the evening, that he takes his daughter Leah, and brings her to him, and he goes 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 gives his maidservant Zilpah to her, to his daughter Leah, [for] a maidservant.
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 comes to pass in the morning, that behold, it [is] Leah; and he says to Laban, “What [is] this you have done to me? Have I not served with you for Rachel? And why have you deceived me?”
26 Sinabi ni Laban, “Hindi namin kaugalian na ibigay ang nakababatang anak na babae bago ang panganay.
And Laban says, “It is not done so in our place, to give the younger before the firstborn;
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.”
fulfill the period of seven [for] this one, and we also give to you this one, for the service which you serve 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 does so, and fulfills the period of seven [for] this one, and he gives his daughter Rachel to him for a wife for him;
29 Ibinigay rin ni Laban si Bilha sa kanyang anak na babaeng si Raquel, para maging lingkod.
and Laban gives his maidservant Bilhah to his daughter Rachel for a maidservant for 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 also goes in to Rachel, and he also loves Rachel more than Leah; and he serves with him yet 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 YHWH sees that Leah [is] the hated one, and He opens her womb, and Rachel [is] 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 Leah conceives, and bears a son, and calls his name Reuben, for she said, “Because YHWH has looked on my affliction; because now does my husband 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 conceives again, and bears a son, and says, “Because YHWH has heard that I [am] the hated one, He also gives to me even this [one]”; and she calls 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 conceives again and bears a son, and says, “Now [is] the time, my husband is joined to me, because I have born to him three sons,” therefore has [one] 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 she conceives again and bears a son, and this time says, “I praise YHWH”; therefore has she called his name Judah; and she ceases from bearing.
