Genesis 29
1 Jakọbu sì tẹ̀síwájú nínú ìrìnàjò rẹ̀, ó sì dé ilẹ̀ àwọn ará ìlà-oòrùn.
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 Ó sì rí kànga kan ní pápá, agbo àgùntàn mẹ́ta sì dúró láti mu omi ní ibi kànga náà, nítorí pé láti inú kànga náà ni wọ́n ti ń fi omi fún agbo àgùntàn. Òkúta tí a gbé dí ẹnu kànga náà sì tóbi gidigidi.
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 Nígbà tí gbogbo agbo ẹran bá péjọpọ̀ sí ibẹ̀ tán ni àwọn darandaran yóò tó yí òkúta náà kúrò, tí wọn yóò sì fún àwọn ẹran náà ní omi, tí wọ́n bá sì ti ṣe bẹ́ẹ̀ tán, wọn yóò tún yí òkúta náà padà sí ẹnu kànga náà.
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 Jakọbu béèrè lọ́wọ́ àwọn darandaran náà pé, “Ẹ̀yin arákùnrin mi níbo ni ẹ̀yin ti wá?” Àwọn náà sì dáhùn pé, “Láti Harani ni.”
And Jacob said to them, Brethren, whence are ye? and they said, We are of Charrhan.
5 Ó sì bi wọ́n pé, “Ǹjẹ́ ẹ mọ Labani ọmọ ọmọ Nahori?” Wọ́n sì dáhùn pé, “Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni, àwa mọ̀ ọ́n.”
And he said to them, Know ye Laban, the son of Nachor? and they said, We do know [him].
6 Jakọbu béèrè pé, “Ṣe àlàáfíà ni ó wà?” Wọ́n sì dáhùn pé, “Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni, àlàáfíà ni. Wò ó, Rakeli ọmọ rẹ̀ ni ó ń bọ̀ yìí pẹ̀lú agbo àgùntàn.”
And he said to them, Is he well? And they said, He is well. And behold Rachel his daughter came with the sheep.
7 Ó sì wí pé, “Kíyèsi, ilẹ̀ ò tí ì ṣú, kò tì í tó àkókò fún àwọn ohun ọ̀sìn láti wọ̀. Ẹ fún àwọn ẹran wọ̀nyí ní omi, kí ẹ ba à le tètè dà wọ́n padà láti jẹun.”
And Jacob said, it is yet high day, it is not yet time that the flocks be gathered together; water ye the flocks, and depart and feed them.
8 Wọ́n dá a lóhùn pé, “Àwa kì í yí òkúta kúrò ní ẹnu kànga láti pọn omi fún àwọn ẹran títí gbogbo àwọn darandaran àti àwọn ẹran yóò fi péjọ tán.”
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 Bí wọ́n sì ti ń sọ̀rọ̀ lọ́wọ́ ni Rakeli dé pẹ̀lú agbo àgùntàn baba rẹ̀, nítorí darandaran ni òun náà.
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 Nígbà tí Jakọbu rí Rakeli ọmọbìnrin Labani tí í ṣe ẹ̀gbọ́n ìyá rẹ̀, pẹ̀lú àgùntàn Labani, Jakọbu súnmọ́ kànga náà, ó sì yí òkúta kúrò lẹ́nu rẹ̀, ó sì fún àwọn ẹran arákùnrin ìyá rẹ̀ Labani ní omi.
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 Jakọbu sì fẹnu ko Rakeli ní ẹnu. Ó sì bẹ̀rẹ̀ sí í sọkún.
And Jacob kissed Rachel, and cried with a loud voice and wept.
12 Jakọbu sì wí fún Rakeli pé ìbátan baba rẹ̀ ni òun, àti pé, òun jẹ́ ọmọ Rebeka. Rakeli sì sáré lọ sọ fún baba rẹ̀.
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 Ní kété tí Labani gbúròó Jakọbu ọmọ arábìnrin rẹ̀, ó jáde lọ pàdé Jakọbu, ó dì mọ́ ọn, ó fi ẹnu kò ó ní ẹnu, ó sì mú un lọ sí ilé. Nígbà náà ni Jakọbu ròyìn ohun gbogbo fún un.
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 Labani sì wí pé, “Ẹran-ara àti ẹ̀jẹ̀ ara mi ni ìwọ jẹ́.” Lẹ́yìn tí Jakọbu sì wà pẹ̀lú rẹ̀ fún odidi oṣù kan,
And Laban said to him, Thou art of my bones and of my flesh; and he was with him a full month.
15 Labani wí fún Jakọbu pé, “Bí a tilẹ̀ jẹ́ ìbátan, kò yẹ kí o máa ṣiṣẹ́ fún mi lásán láìgba ohun kankan. Sọ ohun tì ìwọ fẹ́ gbà fún iṣẹ́ tí ìwọ ń ṣe fún mi!”
And Laban said to Jacob, Surely thou shalt not serve me for nothing, because thou art my brother; tell me what thy reward is to be.
16 Wàyí o, Labani ní ọmọbìnrin méjì, orúkọ èyí ẹ̀gbọ́n ń jẹ́ Lea, orúkọ àbúrò sì ń jẹ́ Rakeli.
Now Laban had two daughters, the name of the elder was Lea, and the name of the younger, Rachel.
17 Lea kò ní ẹwà púpọ̀, ṣùgbọ́n Rakeli ní ẹwà gidigidi. Ojú rẹ̀ sì fanimọ́ra.
And the eyes of Lea were weak. But Rachel was beautiful in appearance, and exceedingly fair in countenance.
18 Jakọbu sì fẹ́ràn Rakeli, ó sì wí fún baba rẹ̀ pé, “Èmi yóò ṣiṣẹ́ sìn ọ fún ọdún méje, bí ìwọ yóò bá fún mi ní Rakeli ọmọ rẹ ní aya.”
And Jacob loved Rachel, and said, I will serve thee seven years for thy younger daughter Rachel.
19 Labani sì dáhùn wí pé, “Ó kúkú sàn kí ń fi fún ọ, ju kí ń fi fún ẹlòmíràn lọ, nítorí náà wà ní ọ̀dọ̀ mi.”
And Laban said to him, [It is] better that I should give her to thee, than that I should give her to another man; dwell with me.
20 Jakọbu sì ṣiṣẹ́ sin Labani fún ọdún méje láti fẹ́ Rakeli. Àwọn ọdún wọ̀nyí sì dàbí ọjọ́ díẹ̀ lára rẹ̀, nítorí ó fẹ́ràn rẹ̀.
And Jacob served for Rachel seven years, and they were before him as a few days, by reason of his loving her.
21 Jakọbu sì wí fún Labani pé, “Mo ti parí àsìkò tí a jọ ṣe àdéhùn rẹ̀, nítorí náà fún mi ní aya mi, kí òun lè ṣe aya fún mi.”
And Jacob said to Laban, Give me my wife, for my days are fulfilled, that I may go in to her.
22 Labani sì pe gbogbo ènìyàn ibẹ̀ jọ, ó sì ṣe àsè ìyàwó fún wọ́n.
And Laban gathered together all the men of the place, and made a marriage-feast.
23 Ṣùgbọ́n nígbà tí ó di òru, Labani mú Lea tọ Jakọbu lọ. Jakọbu sì bá a lòpọ̀.
And it was even, and he took his daughter Lea, and brought her in to Jacob, and Jacob went in to her.
24 Labani sì fi Silipa ọmọ ọ̀dọ̀ rẹ̀ obìnrin fún Lea gẹ́gẹ́ bí ìránṣẹ́.
And Laban gave to his daughter Lea, Zelpha his handmaid, as a handmaid for her.
25 Sì kíyèsi, nígbà ti ilẹ̀ mọ́, Jakọbu rí i pé Lea ni! Ó sì wí fún Labani pé, “Èwo ni ìwọ ṣe sí mi yìí? Ṣe bí nítorí Rakeli ni mo ṣe ṣiṣẹ́ sìn ọ, èéṣe tí ìwọ tàn mi?”
And it was morning, and behold it was Lea; and Jacob said to Laban, What is this that thou hast done to me? did I not serve thee for Rachel? and wherefore hast thou deceived me?
26 Labani sì dáhùn pé, “Kò bá àṣà wa mu láti fi àbúrò fún ọkọ ṣáájú ẹ̀gbọ́n rẹ̀.
And Laban answered, It is not done thus in our country, to give the younger before the elder.
27 Mú sùúrù parí ọ̀sẹ̀ ìgbéyàwó yìí náà, nígbà náà ni èmi yóò fi àbúrò rẹ̀ fún ọ pẹ̀lú, bí ìwọ ó bá ṣiṣẹ́ sìn mi fún ọdún méje mìíràn.”
Fulfil then her sevens, and I will give to thee her also in return for thy labour, which thou labourest with me, yet seven other years.
28 Jakọbu sì gbà láti sin Labani fún ọdún méje mìíràn. Labani sì fi Rakeli ọmọ rẹ̀ fún un bí aya.
And Jacob did so, and fulfilled her sevens; and Laban gave him his daughter Rachel to wife.
29 Labani sì fi Biliha ọmọ ọ̀dọ̀ rẹ̀ obìnrin fún Rakeli bí ìránṣẹ́.
And Laban gave to his daughter his handmaid Balla, for a handmaid to her.
30 Jakọbu sì bá Rakeli náà lòpọ̀. Ó sì fẹ́ràn Rakeli ju Lea lọ, ó sì ṣiṣẹ́ sin Labani fún ọdún méje mìíràn.
And he went in to Rachel; and he loved Rachel more than Lea; and he served him seven other years.
31 Nígbà tí Olúwa sì ri pé, Jakọbu kò fẹ́ràn Lea, ó ṣí i ni inú ṣùgbọ́n Rakeli yàgàn.
And when the Lord God saw that Lea was hated, he opened her womb; but Rachel was barren.
32 Lea sì lóyún, ó sì bí ọmọkùnrin kan, ó sì pe orúkọ rẹ̀ ní Reubeni, nítorí ó wí pé, “Nítorí Olúwa ti mọ ìpọ́njú mi, dájúdájú, ọkọ mi yóò fẹ́ràn mi báyìí.”
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 Ó sì tún lóyún, ó bí ọmọkùnrin kan. Ó sì pe orúkọ rẹ̀ ní Simeoni, wí pé, “Nítorí tí Olúwa ti gbọ́ pé a kò fẹ́ràn mi, ó sì fi èyí fún mi pẹ̀lú.”
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 Ó sì tún lóyún, ó bí ọmọkùnrin kan, ó sì wí pé, “Nígbà yìí ni ọkọ mi yóò fi ara mọ́ mi, nítorí tí mo ti bí ọmọkùnrin mẹ́ta fún un,” nítorí náà ni ó ṣe pe orúkọ rẹ̀ ní Lefi.
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 Ó sì tún lóyún, ó sì tún jẹ́ pé ọmọkùnrin ni ó bí, ó sì wí pé, “Nígbà yìí ni èmi yóò yin Olúwa.” Ó sì pe orúkọ rẹ̀ ní Juda. Ó sì dáwọ́ ọmọ bíbí dúró.
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.
