Genesis 30
1 When Rachel saw that she bore Jacob no children, Rachel envied her sister. She said to Jacob, “Give me children, or else I will die.”
Raahel yommuu akka Yaaqoobiif ijoollee tokko iyyuu hin daʼin argitetti obboleettii isheetti hinaafte. Yaaqoobiinis, “Ijoollee naa kenni, yoo kanaa achii nan duʼa!” jette.
2 Jacob’s anger burned against Rachel, and he said, “Am I in God’s place, who has withheld from you the fruit of the womb?”
Yaaqoobis isheetti aaree, “Anatu iddoo Waaqa isa ijoollee si dhowwate sanaa jira moo?” jedheen.
3 She said, “Behold, my maid Bilhah. Go in to her, that she may bear on my knees, and I also may obtain children by her.”
Isheenis, “Xomboreen koo Bilihaan kunoo ti; akka isheen qooda koo ijoollee naaf deessee anis karaa isheetiin ijoollee argadhuuf dhaqii ishee bira gaʼi” jette.
4 She gave him Bilhah her servant as wife, and Jacob went in to her.
Isheenis xomboree ishee Bilihaa akka niitii isaa taatuuf kenniteef. Yaaqoobis ishee bira gaʼe;
5 Bilhah conceived, and bore Jacob a son.
isheenis ulfooftee ilma isaaf deesse.
6 Rachel said, “God has judged me, and has also heard my voice, and has given me a son.” Therefore she called his name Dan.
Kana irratti Raahel, “Waaqni naa murteesseera; kadhannaa koos dhagaʼee ilma naa kenneera” jette. Kanaafuu maqaa isaa Daan jettee moggaafte.
7 Bilhah, Rachel’s servant, conceived again, and bore Jacob a second son.
Xomboreen Raahel Bilihaan ammas ulfooftee Yaaqoobiif ilma lammaffaa deesse.
8 Rachel said, “I have wrestled with my sister with mighty wrestlings, and have prevailed.” She named him Naphtali.
Raahelis, “Ani obboleettii koo walʼaansoo guddaa qabee moʼadheera” jette. Maqaa isaa Niftaalem jettee moggaafte.
9 When Leah saw that she had finished bearing, she took Zilpah, her servant, and gave her to Jacob as a wife.
Liyaan akka ijoollee daʼuu dhiifte hubatte; xomboree ishee Zilfaa fuutee akka niitii isaa taatuuf Yaaqoobiif kennite.
10 Zilpah, Leah’s servant, bore Jacob a son.
Xomboreen Liyaa Zilfaanis Yaaqoobiif ilma deesse.
11 Leah said, “How fortunate!” She named him Gad.
Liyaan immoo, “Maal milkiin akkanaa!” jettee maqaa isaa Gaad jettee moggaafte.
12 Zilpah, Leah’s servant, bore Jacob a second son.
Xomboreen Liyaa Zilfaan Yaaqoobiif ilma lammaffaa deesse.
13 Leah said, “Happy am I, for the daughters will call me happy.” She named him Asher.
Ergasiis Liyaan, “Ani akkaman gammade! Dubartoonnis, ‘Eebbifamtuu’ naan jedhu” jette. Kanaafuu maqaa isaa Aasheer jettee moggaafte.
14 Reuben went in the days of wheat harvest, and found mandrakes in the field, and brought them to his mother, Leah. Then Rachel said to Leah, “Please give me some of your son’s mandrakes.”
Yeroo haamaa qamadiitti Ruubeen gara bakkeetti baʼee ija hudhaa argatee haadha isaa Liyaadhaaf fide. Raahelis Liyaadhaan, “Maaloo ija hudhaa ilma keetii irraa waa naa kenni” jette.
15 Leah said to her, “Is it a small matter that you have taken away my husband? Would you take away my son’s mandrakes, also?” Rachel said, “Therefore he will lie with you tonight for your son’s mandrakes.”
Liyaan immoo, “Dhirsa koo narraa fudhachuun kee sitti xinnaatee? Hudhaa ilma koos ni fudhattaa?” jetteen. Raahelis, “Qooda hudhaa ilma keetii inni edana si wajjin haa bulu” jetteen.
16 Jacob came from the field in the evening, and Leah went out to meet him, and said, “You must come in to me; for I have surely hired you with my son’s mandrakes.” He lay with her that night.
Gaafa sana galgala yeroo Yaaqoob lafa qotiisaatii galetti Liyaan isa simachuuf gad baatee, “Waan ani hudhaa ilma kootiin si kireeffadheef ati harʼa na wajjin bulu qabda” jetteen. Yaaqoobis halkan sana ishee wajjin bule.
17 God listened to Leah, and she conceived, and bore Jacob a fifth son.
Waaqnis Liyaa dhagaʼe; isheenis ulfooftee Yaaqoobiif ilma shanaffaa deesse.
18 Leah said, “God has given me my hire, because I gave my servant to my husband.” She named him Issachar.
Liyaanis, “Waan ani xomboree koo dhirsa kootiif kenneef Waaqni gatii koo naa baaseera” jette. Kanaafuu Yisaakor jettee isa moggaafte.
19 Leah conceived again, and bore a sixth son to Jacob.
Liyaan ammas ulfooftee Yaaqoobiif ilma jaʼaffaa deesse.
20 Leah said, “God has endowed me with a good dowry. Now my husband will live with me, because I have borne him six sons.” She named him Zebulun.
Liyaanis, “Waaqni kennaa gaarii naaf kenneera; sababii ani ilmaan jaʼa isaaf daʼeef dhirsi koo siʼachi ulfina naa kenna” jette. Kanaafuu maqaa isaa Zebuuloon jettee moggaafte.
21 Afterwards, she bore a daughter, and named her Dinah.
Ergasiis intala tokko deessee Diinaa jettee moggaafte.
22 God remembered Rachel, and God listened to her, and opened her womb.
Waaqnis Raahelin yaadate; kadhannaa ishees dhagaʼee gadameessa ishee baneef.
23 She conceived, bore a son, and said, “God has taken away my reproach.”
Isheenis ulfooftee ilma deessee, “Waaqni qaanii koo narraa fuudheera” jette.
24 She named him Joseph, saying, “May Yahweh add another son to me.”
Isheenis maqaa isaa Yoosef jettee moggaaftee, “Waaqayyo ilma biraa naaf haa dabalu” jette.
25 When Rachel had borne Joseph, Jacob said to Laban, “Send me away, that I may go to my own place, and to my country.
Erga Raahel Yoosefin deessee booddee Yaaqoob Laabaadhaan akkana jedhe; “Akka ani biyya dhalootaa kootti deebiʼuuf, gad na dhiisi.
26 Give me my wives and my children for whom I have served you, and let me go; for you know my service with which I have served you.”
Ani nan deemaatii niitota koo fi ijoollee koo warra ani isaaniif jedhee siif tajaajile naa kenni. Akka ani hojii baayʼee siif hojjedhe ati iyyuu beekta.”
27 Laban said to him, “If now I have found favor in your eyes, stay here, for I have divined that Yahweh has blessed me for your sake.”
Laabaan garuu akkana jedheen; “Maaloo yoo ani fuula kee duratti fudhatama argadhee jiraadhe asuma turi; ani akka Waaqayyo sababii keetiin na eebbise mulʼataan beekeeraatii.”
28 He said, “Appoint me your wages, and I will give it.”
Itti fufees, “Mee mindaa ani siif kaffaluu qabu natti himi; ani siifin kaffalaatii” jedhe.
29 Jacob said to him, “You know how I have served you, and how your livestock have fared with me.
Yaaqoobis akkana jedheen; “Akka ani hammam siif hojjedhe, horiin kees hammam akka harka kootti baayʼate atuu ni beekta.
30 For it was little which you had before I came, and it has increased to a multitude. Yahweh has blessed you wherever I turned. Now when will I provide for my own house also?”
Wanni xinnaan ati utuu ani hin dhufin dura qabdu sun amma akka malee siif baayʼateera; lafa ani ture kamitti iyyuu Waaqayyo si eebbiseera. Garuu yeroon ani itti maatii kootiif yaadu yoomi ree?”
31 Laban said, “What shall I give you?” Jacob said, “You shall not give me anything. If you will do this thing for me, I will again feed your flock and keep it.
Innis, “Wanni ani siif kennu maali ree?” jedhee gaafate. Yaaqoob immoo akkana jedhee deebise; “Homaa naaf hin kennin; garuu yoo ati waan kana naaf goote ani ittuma fufee bushaayee kee nan tiksa; nan eegas;
32 I will pass through all your flock today, removing from there every speckled and spotted one, and every black one among the sheep, and the spotted and speckled among the goats. This will be my hire.
ani harʼa bushaayee kee hunda keessa baʼee hoolota cocorree fi buburree hunda, hoolaa magaalaa fi reʼoota cocorree yookaan buburree hunda addaan nan baasa; isaan kunneen mindaa koo taʼu.
33 So my righteousness will answer for me hereafter, when you come concerning my hire that is before you. Every one that is not speckled and spotted among the goats, and black among the sheep, that might be with me, will be considered stolen.”
Yeroo ati mindaa naa kennite sana toʼachuu dhuftutti, amanamummaan koo dhugaa naa baʼa. Hoolotaa fi reʼoota koo keessatti reʼeen cocorree yookaan buburree hin taʼin kam iyyuu, hoolaa keessaa immoo kan gurraacha hin taʼin kam iyyuu yoo argame akka waan hatameetti haa ilaalamu.”
34 Laban said, “Behold, let it be according to your word.”
Laabaanis, “Tole, akkuma ati jette haa taʼu” jedhe.
35 That day, he removed the male goats that were streaked and spotted, and all the female goats that were speckled and spotted, every one that had white in it, and all the black ones among the sheep, and gave them into the hand of his sons.
Guyyuma sana Laabaan korbeeyyii reʼee halluu qaxxaamuroo qabanii fi buburree hunda, goromii reʼee cocorree fi buburree kanneen adaadii qaban hunda, akkasumas hoolota gugurraacha hunda fuudhee ilmaan isaatti kenne.
36 He set three days’ journey between himself and Jacob, and Jacob fed the rest of Laban’s flocks.
Innis ofii isaatii fi Yaaqoob gidduutti lafa adeemsa guyyaa sadii hambise; Yaaqoob immoo bushaayee Laabaa kanneen hafan tiksuu itti fufe.
37 Jacob took to himself rods of fresh poplar, almond, and plane tree, peeled white streaks in them, and made the white appear which was in the rods.
Yaaqoobis damee alaltuu, kan looziitii fi hadheessa jiidhaa isaa darbee darbee naannessee qoola isaa irraa quncisuudhaan dhagna mukichaa isa keessaa adii sana mulʼise.
38 He set the rods which he had peeled opposite the flocks in the watering troughs where the flocks came to drink. They conceived when they came to drink.
Yaaqoobis yeroo bushaayeen sun bishaan dhuguuf dhufanitti damee qolli irraa quncifame sana fuula isaanii dura bidiruu bishaan itti obaasan keessa kaaʼe. Bushaayeen yeroo sun bishaan dhuguu dhufanitti gojomaʼanii
39 The flocks conceived before the rods, and the flocks produced streaked, speckled, and spotted.
ulee sana duratti wal hobobsu turan; isaanis ilmoolee halluu qaxxaamuroo qaban, cocorree fi buburree dhalan.
40 Jacob separated the lambs, and set the faces of the flocks toward the streaked and all the black in Laban’s flock. He put his own droves apart, and didn’t put them into Laban’s flock.
Yaaqoobis ilmoolee bushaayee kophaatti baase; bushaayee Laabaa kanneen hafan garuu warra halluu qaxxaamuroo qabanii fi gurraacha dura dhaabe. Akkasitti hoolota isaa addaan baase malee bushaayee Laabaatti hin makne.
41 Whenever the stronger of the flock conceived, Jacob laid the rods in front of the eyes of the flock in the watering troughs, that they might conceive among the rods;
Yeroo dhaltuuwwan jajjaboon gojomaʼan kam iyyuu, Yaaqoob akka isaan ulee sana biratti wal hobobsaniif jedhee ulee sana fuula isaanii dura bidiruu keessa kaaʼaa ture;
42 but when the flock were feeble, he didn’t put them in. So the feebler were Laban’s, and the stronger Jacob’s.
dhaltuuwwan dadhaboo dura garuu ulee sana hin keenye. Kanaafuu warri dadhaboon kan Laabaa, warri jajjaboon immoo kan Yaaqoob taʼan.
43 The man increased exceedingly, and had large flocks, female servants and male servants, and camels and donkeys.
Namichi kun haala kanaan akka malee soorome; innis bushaayee baayʼee, garboota dubartootaatii fi dhiirotaa, gaalawwanii fi harroota qaba ture.
