< Genesis 29 >
1 Jakọbu sì tẹ̀síwájú nínú ìrìnàjò rẹ̀, ó sì dé ilẹ̀ àwọn ará ìlà-oòrùn.
Then Jacob went on his journey, and came to the land of the children of the east.
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 looked, and behold a well in the field, and, lo, three flocks of sheep lying there by it; for out of that well they watered the flocks: and the stone upon the well’s mouth was great.
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 thither were all the flocks gathered: and they rolled the stone from the well’s mouth, and watered the sheep, and put the stone again upon the well’s mouth in its place.
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 unto them, My brethren, whence be ye? And they said, Of Haran are we.
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 unto them, Know ye Laban the son of Nahor? And they said, We 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 unto them, Is it well with him? And they said, It is well: and, behold, Rachel his daughter cometh 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 he said, Lo, it is yet high day, neither is it time that the cattle should be gathered together: water ye the sheep, and go 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 cannot, until all the flocks be gathered together, and they roll the stone from the well’s mouth; then we water the sheep.
9 Bí wọ́n sì ti ń sọ̀rọ̀ lọ́wọ́ ni Rakeli dé pẹ̀lú agbo àgùntàn baba rẹ̀, nítorí darandaran ni òun náà.
While he yet spake with them, Rachel came with her father’s sheep; for she kept them.
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 went near, and rolled the stone from the well’s mouth, and watered the flock 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 lifted up his 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 Jacob told Rachel that he was her father’s brother, and that he was Rebekah’s son: and she ran and told her father.
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 tidings of Jacob his sister’s son, that he ran to meet him, and embraced him, and kissed him, and brought him to his house. And he told Laban all these things.
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, Surely thou art my bone and my flesh. And he abode with him the space of a 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 unto Jacob, Because thou art my brother, shouldest thou therefore serve me for nought? tell me, what shall thy wages be?
16 Wàyí o, Labani ní ọmọbìnrin méjì, orúkọ èyí ẹ̀gbọ́n ń jẹ́ Lea, orúkọ àbúrò sì ń jẹ́ Rakeli.
And Laban had two daughters: the name of the elder was Leah, and the name of the younger was Rachel.
17 Lea kò ní ẹwà púpọ̀, ṣùgbọ́n Rakeli ní ẹwà gidigidi. Ojú rẹ̀ sì fanimọ́ra.
And Leah’s eyes were tender; but Rachel was beautiful and well favoured.
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 he said, I will serve thee seven years for Rachel thy younger daughter.
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, It is better that I give her to thee, than that I should give her to another man: abide 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 seven years for Rachel; and they seemed unto him but a few days, for the love he had to 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 unto Laban, Give me my wife, for my days are fulfilled, that I may go in unto 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 feast.
23 Ṣùgbọ́n nígbà tí ó di òru, Labani mú Lea tọ Jakọbu lọ. Jakọbu sì bá a lòpọ̀.
And it came to pass in the evening, that he took Leah his daughter, and brought her to him; and he went in unto her.
24 Labani sì fi Silipa ọmọ ọ̀dọ̀ rẹ̀ obìnrin fún Lea gẹ́gẹ́ bí ìránṣẹ́.
And Laban gave Zilpah his handmaid unto his daughter Leah for an handmaid.
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 came to pass in the morning that, behold, it was Leah: and he said to Laban, What is this thou hast done unto me? did not I serve with thee for Rachel? wherefore then hast thou beguiled me?
26 Labani sì dáhùn pé, “Kò bá àṣà wa mu láti fi àbúrò fún ọkọ ṣáájú ẹ̀gbọ́n rẹ̀.
And Laban said, It is not so done in our place, to give the younger before the firstborn.
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.”
Fulfill the week of this one, and we will give thee the other also for the service which thou shalt serve 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 week: and he gave him Rachel his daughter to wife.
29 Labani sì fi Biliha ọmọ ọ̀dọ̀ rẹ̀ obìnrin fún Rakeli bí ìránṣẹ́.
And Laban gave to Rachel his daughter Bilhah his handmaid to be her handmaid.
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 also unto Rachel, and he loved also Rachel more than Leah, and served with him yet seven other years.
31 Nígbà tí Olúwa sì ri pé, Jakọbu kò fẹ́ràn Lea, ó ṣí i ni inú ṣùgbọ́n Rakeli yàgàn.
And the LORD saw that Leah was hated, and 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 Leah conceived, and bare a son, and she called his name Reuben: for she said, Because the LORD hath looked upon my affliction; for now 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 bare a son; and said, Because the LORD hath heard that I am hated, he hath therefore given me this [son] 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 again, and bare a son; and said, Now this time will my husband be joined unto me, because I have borne him three sons: therefore was his name called 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 she conceived again, and bare a son: and she said, This time will I praise the LORD: therefore she called his name Judah; and she left bearing.
