Genesis 30
1 And when Rachel saw that she bore Jacob no children, Rachel envied her sister; and she said unto Jacob: 'Give me children, or else I die.'
Rechel hụrụ na ya amụghị nwa ọbụla nye Jekọb, o kworo ekworo megide nwanne ya nwanyị. Ya mere, ọ sịrị Jekọb, “Nye m ụmụ. Ọ bụrụ na i meghị otu a, aga m anwụ.”
2 And Jacob's anger was kindled against Rachel; and he said: 'Am I in God's stead, who hath withheld from thee the fruit of the womb?'
Jekọb were iwe megide Rechel, sị ya, “Abụ m Chineke onye gbochiri gị mkpụrụ nke afọ?”
3 And she said: 'Behold my maid Bilhah, go in unto her; that she may bear upon my knees, and I also may be builded up through her.'
Mgbe ahụ Rechel gwara Jekọb sị ya, “Lee odibo m nwanyị Bilha, bakwuru ya ka ọ mụọ nwa nʼikpere m abụọ, ka mụ onwe m site na ya bụrụkwa onye mụtara ụmụ.”
4 And she gave him Bilhah her handmaid to wife; and Jacob went in unto her.
Rechel nyere Jekọb Bilha, odibo nwanyị ya, Jekọb bakwuuru ya.
5 And Bilhah conceived, and bore Jacob a son.
Bilha tụụrụ ime mụọra Jekọb nwa nwoke.
6 And Rachel said: 'God hath judged me, and hath also heard my voice, and hath given me a son.' Therefore called she his name Dan.
Nke a mere ka Rechel kwuo sị, “Chineke ekpepụtala m. Ọ nụla arịrịọ m nye m nwa nwoke.” Nʼihi nke a, Rechel gụrụ nwa ahụ Dan.
7 And Bilhah Rachel's handmaid conceived again, and bore Jacob a second son.
Bilha, odibo nwanyị Rechel, tụụrụ ime ọzọ mụtara Jekọb nwa nwoke nke abụọ.
8 And Rachel said: 'With mighty wrestlings have I wrestled with my sister, and have prevailed.' And she called his name Naphtali.
Rechel kwuru sị, “Mgba dị ukwuu ka mụ na nwanne m nwanyị gbara, m merie.” Ọ kpọọ ya Naftalị.
9 When Leah saw that she had left off bearing, she took Zilpah her handmaid, and gave her to Jacob to wife.
Lịa hụrụ na ya akwụsịla ịmụ nwa, ọ kpọọrọ Zilpa, odibo ya nwanyị kpọnye Jekọb ka ọ bụrụ nwunye ya.
10 And Zilpah Leah's handmaid bore Jacob a son.
Zilpa, odibo nwanyị Lịa, mụtara Jekọb nwa nwoke.
11 And Leah said: 'Fortune is come!' And she called his name Gad.
Mgbe nke a mere, Lịa kwuru sị, “Nke a bụ ihuọma.” Ọ kpọrọ nwa ahụ Gad.
12 And Zilpah Leah's handmaid bore Jacob a second son.
Zilpa, odibo nwanyị Lịa mụtaara Jekọb nwa nwoke nke abụọ.
13 And Leah said: 'Happy am I! for the daughters will call me happy.' And she called his name Asher.
Mgbe ahụ Lịa kwuru sị, “Ọṅụ ejula m obi, nʼihi na ụmụ nwanyị ibe m ga-akpọ m onye ihe na-agara nke ọma.” Lịa kpọrọ nwantakịrị nwoke ahụ Asha.
14 And Reuben went in the days of wheat harvest, and found mandrakes in the field, and brought them unto his mother Leah. Then Rachel said to Leah: 'Give me, I pray thee, of thy son's mandrakes.'
Otu ụbọchị, nʼoge a na-aghọ ọka wiiti, Ruben nwa Lịa, gara nʼọhịa hụ ahịhịa a na-akpọ mandreki. Ọ kụtaara nne ya ụfọdụ nʼime ahịhịa a. Mgbe Rechel hụrụ ahịhịa a, ọ rịọrọ Lịa sị ya, “Biko nyetụ m ụfọdụ nʼime mandreki ndị a nwa gị nwoke kụtara.”
15 And she said unto her: 'Is it a small matter that thou hast taken away my husband? and wouldest thou take away my son's mandrakes also?' And Rachel said: 'Therefore he shall lie with thee to-night for thy son's mandrakes.'
Ma Lịa zara sị ya, “O zubeere gị na ị napụrụ m di m? Ị chọkwara ịnapụ m mandreki ndị a nwa m nwoke wetaara m?” Rechel zara Lịa sị, “Ọ dị mma, ka gị na ya dinaa nʼabalị a ka ọ bụrụ ihe mgbanwo maka mandreki nwa gị nwoke.”
16 And Jacob came from the field in the evening, and Leah went out to meet him, and said: 'Thou must come in unto me; for I have surely hired thee with my son's mandrakes.' And he lay with her that night.
Ya mere, mgbe Jekọb si nʼọhịa na-alọbata nʼuhuruchi ụbọchị ahụ, Lịa pụrụ izute ya, sị ya, “Ị ga-abakwute m nʼihi na m ejirila m ahịhịa mandreki nwa m nwoke m zụta gị.” Ha dinara nʼabalị ahụ.
17 And God hearkened unto Leah, and she conceived, and bore Jacob a fifth son.
Chineke nụrụ olu Lịa, ọ tụụrụ ime mụtara Jekọb nwa nwoke nke ise.
18 And Leah said: 'God hath given me my hire, because I gave my handmaid to my husband. And she called his name Issachar.
Lịa sịrị, “Chineke akwụọla m ụgwọ maka odibo m nwanyị m nyere di m.” Ya mere ọ kpọrọ aha ya Isaka.
19 And Leah conceived again, and bore a sixth son to Jacob.
Lịa tụkwaara ime ọzọ mụtara Jekọb nwa nwoke nke isii.
20 And Leah said: 'God hath endowed me with a good dowry; now will my husband dwell with me, because I have borne him six sons.' And she called his name Zebulun.
Ugbu a Lịa kwuru sị, “Chineke enyela m ezi onyinye dị oke ọnụ. Ugbu a, di m ga-eji nkwanye ugwu leta m nʼihi na amụọrala m ya ụmụ ndị ikom isii.” Ọ kpọrọ aha ya Zebụlọn.
21 And afterwards she bore a daughter, and called her name Dinah.
Emesịa, Lịa mụrụ nwa nwanyị, kpọọ ya Daịna.
22 And God remembered Rachel, and God hearkened to her, and opened her womb.
Chineke chetara Rechel. Ọ nụrụ olu ya, meghee akpanwa ya.
23 And she conceived, and bore a son, and said: 'God hath taken away my reproach.'
Nʼihi ya, Rechel tụụrụ ime mụta nwa nwoke. Ọ sịrị, “Chineke ewepụla nkọcha dịịrị m.”
24 And she called his name Joseph, saying: 'The LORD add to me another son.'
Rechel kpọrọ aha ya Josef, dị ka ọ sịrị, “Ka Onyenwe anyị nyekwa m nwa nwoke ọzọ.”
25 And it came to pass, when Rachel had borne Joseph, that Jacob said unto Laban: 'Send me away, that I may go unto mine own place, and to my country.
Mgbe Rechel mụsịrị Josef, Jekọb jekwuru Leban sị ya, “Zilaga m ka m laghachi nʼebe m na ala nke m.
26 Give me my wives and my children for whom I have served thee, and let me go; for thou knowest my service wherewith I have served thee.'
Kpọnye m ndị nwunye m, ndị m ji nʼihi ha gbara gị odibo, ha na ụmụ m, ka m lakwaa. Ị maara otu m siri gbaara gị odibo. Kpọnye m ha ka m duru ha laghachi ebe m si bịa.”
27 And Laban said unto him: 'If now I have found favour in thine eyes — I have observed the signs, and the LORD hath blessed me for thy sake.'
Leban sịrị Jekọb, “Ọ bụrụ na m achọtala amara nʼihu gị biko nọdụ, nʼihi na esi m nʼịgba afa chọpụta na Onyenwe anyị agọziela m nʼihi gị.”
28 And he said: 'Appoint me thy wages, and I will give it.'
Leban sịrị, “Kwuo ego ole ị chọrọ ka m kwụọ gị, aga m akwụ ya.”
29 And he said unto him: 'Thou knowest how I have served thee, and how thy cattle have fared with me.
Jekọb zara sị Leban, “Gị onwe gị maara otu m si gbara gị odibo na ihe mere igwe anụ ụlọ gị ndị m lekọtara.
30 For it was little which thou hadst before I came, and it hath increased abundantly; and the LORD hath blessed thee whithersoever I turned. And now when shall I provide for mine own house also?'
Nʼihi na ole na ole ka i nwere mgbe m bịara, ma ugbu a, ha abaala ụba nke ukwuu. Onyenwe anyị esitela nʼụkwụ m gọzie gị. Ugbu a, kedụ mgbe m ga-arụkwanụ ọrụ nke mụ onwe m maka ezinaụlọ m?”
31 And he said: 'What shall I give thee?' And Jacob said: 'Thou shalt not give me aught; if thou wilt do this thing for me, I will again feed thy flock and keep it.
Leban jụrụ Jekọb sị, “Kedụ ihe m ga-enye gị?” Jekọb gwara ya sị, “Enyela m ihe ọbụla, kama o nwere otu ihe m chọrọ ka i mee. Ọ bụrụ na i mee ya, aga m alaghachi ilekọta igwe anụ ụlọ gị.
32 I will pass through all thy flock to-day, removing from thence every speckled and spotted one, and every dark one among the sheep, and the spotted and speckled among the goats; and of such shall be my hire.
Kwere ka m jegharịa nʼetiti igwe anụ ụlọ gị, ka m họpụta site nʼetiti igwe atụrụ gị ndị niile tụrụ agwa agwa, na ụmụ atụrụ niile dị oji, na ewu niile tụrụ agwa agwa. Atụrụ na ewu ndị a niile m ga-ahọpụta ga-abụ ụgwọ ọrụ m.
33 So shall my righteousness witness against me hereafter, when thou shalt come to look over my hire that is before thee: every one that is not speckled and spotted among the goats, and dark among the sheep, that if found with me shall be counted stolen.'
Ezi omume m ga-azara nʼọdịnihu, mgbe ọbụla ị bịara nyochaa ụgwọ ọrụ ị kwụrụ m. Ewu ọbụla na-atụghị agwa agwa, maọbụ atụrụ ọbụla na-ejighị oji ị chọpụtara nʼetiti igwe ewu na atụrụ nke m ka a ga-agụ dị ka ihe e zuru nʼohi.”
34 And Laban said: 'Behold, would it might be according to thy word.'
Leban zara sị ya, “Ọ dị mma. Ya dịrị dịka i kwuru.”
35 And he removed that day the he-goats that were streaked and spotted, and all the she-goats that were speckled and spotted, every one that had white in it, and all the dark ones among the sheep, and gave them into the hand of his sons.
Nʼotu ụbọchị ahụ, ọ họpụtachara mkpi niile tụrụ agwa maọbụ ntụpọ na nne ewu niile ndị nwere tụrụ agwa maọbụ ntụpọ na nke ọbụla nwere ajị ọcha nʼahụ ya. Ọ họpụtakwara atụrụ ojii niile, nyefee ha nʼaka ụmụ ya ka ha lekọtaa ha.
36 And he set three days' journey betwixt himself and Jacob. And Jacob fed the rest of Laban's flocks.
Leban jere ije abalị atọ nke kewapụrụ ha site nʼebe Jekọb nọ. Ma Jekọb nọgidere na-elekọta igwe anụ ụlọ Leban ndị ọzọ.
37 And Jacob took him rods of fresh poplar, and of the almond and of the plane-tree; and peeled white streaks in them, making the white appear which was in the rods.
Mgbe ahụ Jekọb gara gbute ngalaba osisi pọpla, na osisi alụmọnd, na osisi plenụ, kpechapụ ahụ agbụgbọ osisi ndị a, si otu a mee ka ime ime ngalaba osisi ndị a dị ọcha pụta ìhè.
38 And he set the rods which he had peeled over against the flocks in the gutters in the watering-troughs where the flocks came to drink; and they conceived when they came to drink.
Ọ tọgbọrọ osisi ndị a o kpechapụtara nʼebe ewu na atụrụ ndị a na-aṅụ mmiri, ka ha cherịta ịhụ ebe igwe anụ ụlọ ndị a nọ mgbe ọbụla ha na-aṅụ mmiri. Nke a mere mgbe igwe anụ ụlọ ndị a na-enwe ekpomọkụ nke ịgba ibe ha, nʼoge ha bịara ịṅụ mmiri,
39 And the flocks conceived at the sight of the rods, and the flocks brought forth streaked, speckled, and spotted.
ọ bụ nʼihu ngalaba osisi ndị a ka ha na-anọ na-agba onwe ha. Mgbe anụ ụlọ ndị a mụrụ ụmụ, ahụ ụmụ ha na-atụ agwa agwa maọbụ nwe ntụpọ.
40 And Jacob separated the lambs — he also set the faces of the flocks toward the streaked and all the dark in the flock of Laban — and put his own droves apart, and put them not unto Laban's flock.
Jekọb na-edo ụmụ igwe ewu na atụrụ ndị a nʼotu akụkụ, ma ọ na-eme ka anụ ụlọ ndị ọzọ chee ihu ha nʼanụ ụlọ Leban ndị tụrụ agwa agwa, maọbụ na-eji oji. Nʼụzọ dị otu a, ọ kewapụtaara onwe ya anụ ụlọ nke ya. O tinyekọtaghị ha nʼanụ ụlọ Leban.
41 And it came to pass, whensoever the stronger of the flock did conceive, that Jacob laid the rods before the eyes of the flock in the gutters, that they might conceive among the rods;
Mgbe ọbụla nne anụ ụlọ ndị ahụ siri ike nọ nʼọnọdụ ịtụrụ ime, Jekọb na-edobe ngalaba osisi ndị ahụ nʼakụkụ ebe ha na-aṅụ mmiri nʼihu ha, ka ha nọrọ nʼebe ahụ gbaa onwe ha.
42 but when the flock were feeble, he put them not in; so the feebler were Laban's, and the stronger Jacob's.
Ma ọ bụrụ na anụ ụlọ ndị ahụ adịghị ike, Jekọb anaghị edebe osisi ndị a nʼihu ha. Ya mere, igwe ewu na atụrụ ndị na-esighị ike gaara Leban. Ma ndị siri ike gaara Jekọb.
43 And the man increased exceedingly, and had large flocks, and maid-servants and men-servants, and camels and asses.
Site nʼụzọ dị otu a, Jekọb ghọrọ onye nwere akụ hie nne. O nwekwara ọtụtụ igwe anụ ụlọ na ọtụtụ ndị na-ejere ya ozi nwoke na nwanyị, na ọtụtụ ịnyịnya kamel, na ọtụtụ ịnyịnya ibu ndị ọzọ.
