Kenehi 30

1 A, no te kitenga o Rahera kahore i whanau tetahi tama ma raua ko Hakopa, ka hae a Rahera ki tona tuakana; a ka mea ia ki a Hakopa, Kia whai tamariki ahau, ki te kahore, ka mate ahau.

And Rachel having perceived that she bore Jacob no children, was jealous of her sister; and said to Jacob, Give me children; and if not, I shall die.

2 Na ka mura ake te riri a Hakopa ki a Rahera: ka mea ia, Ko te atua ranei ahau e kaiponu atu nei i te hua mo tou kopu?

And Jacob was angry with Rachel, and said to her, Am I in the place of God, who has deprived thee of the fruit of the womb?

3 Na ka mea tera, Na taku pononga wahine, a Piriha, haere ki roto, ki a ia; kia whanau ai ia ki runga ki oku turi, a mana ka whai tamariki ai ahau.

And Rachel said to Jacob, Behold my handmaid Balla, go in to her, and she shall bear upon my knees, and I also shall have children by her.

4 Na ka homai e ia a Piriha, tana pononga wahine, ki a ia hei wahine, a ka haere atu a Hakopa ki roto, ki a ia.

And she gave him Balla her maid, for a wife to him; and Jacob went in to her.

5 Na ka hapu a Piriha, a ka whanau ta raua tama ko Hakopa.

And Balla, Rachel's maid, conceived, and bore Jacob a son.

6 Na ka mea a Rahera, Kua whakarite te Atua i taku whakawakanga, kua rongo ano ki toku reo, kua homai hoki e ia tetahi tama ki ahau: na reira i huaina ai e ia tona ingoa ko Rana.

And Rachel said, God has given judgment for me, and hearkened to my voice, and has given me a son; therefore she called his name, Dan.

7 Na ka hapu ano a Piriha, te pononga wahine a Rahera, a ka whanau te rua o a raua tama, ko Hakopa.

And Balla, Rachel's maid, conceived yet again, and bore a second son to Jacob.

8 Na ka mea a Rahera, Nui whakaharahara nga nonoketanga i nonoke ai maua ko toku tuakana, a taea ana ia e ahau: na huaina iho e ia tona ingoa ko Napatari.

And Rachel said, God has helped me, and I contended with my sister and prevailed; and she called his name, Nephthalim.

9 I te kitenga o Rea ka mutu ia te whanau ka tango ia i a Tiripa, i tana pononga wahine, a hoatu ana e ia ki a Hakopa hei wahine.

And Lea saw that she ceased from bearing, and she took Zelpha her maid, and gave her to Jacob for a wife; and he went in to her.

10 Na ka whanau te tama a Hakopa raua ko Tiripa, pononga a Rea.

And Zelpha the maid of Lea conceived, and bore Jacob a son.

11 A ka mea a Rea, He waimarie! Na huaina ana e ia tona ingoa ko Kara.

And Lea said, [It is] happily: and she called his name, Gad.

12 Na ka whanau te rua o nga tama a Hakopa raua ko Tiripa, pononga a Rea.

And Zelpha the maid of Lea conceived yet again, and bore Jacob a second son.

13 A ka mea a Rea, E hari ana ahau, ka kiia nei hoki ahau e nga tamahine he mea hari: a huaina ana e ia tona ingoa ko Ahera.

And Lea said, I am blessed, for the women will pronounce me blessed; and she called his name, Aser.

14 Na ka haere a Reupena i nga ra o te kotinga witi, a ka kite i etahi manitareki i te koraha, a kawea ana e ia ki a Rea, ki tona whaea. A ka mea atu a Rahera ki a Rea, Tena koa maku etahi o nga manitareki a tau tama.

And Ruben went in the day of barley-harvest, and found apples of mandrakes in the field, and brought them to his mother Lea; and Rachel said to Lea her sister, Give me of thy son's mandrakes.

15 Na ko te meatanga a tera ki a ia, He mea nohinohi ianei tau tangohanga i taku tahu? a me tango ano koe i nga manitareki a taku tama? A ka mea atu a Rahera, Na, me takoto ia ki a koe i tenei po hei utu mo nga manitareki a tau tama.

And Lea said, [Is it] not enough for thee that thou hast taken my husband, wilt thou also take my son's mandrakes? And Rachel said, Not so: let him lie with thee to-night for thy son's mandrakes.

16 A i te ahiahi ka, haere mai a Hakopa i te mara, na ka puta atu a Rea ki te whakatau i a ia, ka mea, Me haere mai koe ki ahau; kua oti hoki koe te hoko e ahau ki nga manitareki a taku tama. Na ka takoto ia ki a ia i taua po.

And Jacob came in out of the field at even; and Lea went forth to meet him, and said, Thou shalt come in to me this day, for I have hired thee for my son's mandrakes; and he lay with her that night.

17 I whakarongo hoki te Atua ki a Rea, a ka hapu ia, a ka whanau te tokorima o a raua tama ko Hakopa.

And God hearkened to Lea, and she conceived, and bore Jacob a fifth son.

18 Na ka mea a Rea, Kua homai e te Atua toku utu, moku i hoatu i taku pononga ki taku tahu: a huaina ana e ia tona ingoa ko Ihakara.

And Lea said, God has given me my reward, because I gave my maid to my husband; and she called his name Issachar, which is, Reward.

19 Na ka hapu ano a Rea, a ka whanau te tokoono o a raua tama ko Hakopa.

And Lea conceived again, and bore Jacob a sixth son.

20 Na ka mea a Rea, He pai te hakari i homai nei e te Atua ki ahau; katahi taku tahu ka noho ki ahau, mo te whanautanga o a maua tama tokoono: a huaina ana e ia tona ingoa ko Hepurona.

And Lea said, God has given me a good gift in this time; my husband will choose me, for I have born him six sons: and she called his name, Zabulon.

21 A muri iho ka whanau he kotiro, a huaina ana e ia tona ingoa ko Rina.

And after this she bore a daughter; and she called her name, Dina.

22 A i mahara te Atua ki a Rahera, i whakarongo hoki te Atua ki a ia, a whakatuwheratia ana e ia tona kopu.

And God remembered Rachel, and God hearkened to her, and he opened her womb.

23 Na ka hapu ia, a ka whanau he tama; a ka mea ia, Kua whakamutua e te Atua toku tawainga:

And she conceived, and bore Jacob a son; and Rachel said, God has taken away my reproach.

24 Na huaina ana e ia tona ingoa ko Hohepa: a ka mea, Ka tapiritia mai e Ihowa tetahi atu tama maku.

And she called his name Joseph, saying, Let God add to me another son.

25 Na, ka whanau ra a Hohepa i a Rahera, ka mea a Hakopa ki a Rapana, Tukua ahau, kia haere ai ahau ki toku ake wahi, ki toku whenua.

And it came to pass when Rachel had born Joseph, Jacob said to Laban, Send me away, that I may go to my place and to my land.

26 Homai aku wahine me aku tamariki i mahi ai ahau ki a koe, a ka haere ahau: e mohio ana hoki koe ki taku mahi i mahi ai ahau ki a koe.

Restore my wives and my children, for whom I have served thee, that I may depart, for thou knowest the service wherewith I have served thee.

27 Na ka mea a Rapana ki a ia, Ki te mea e manakohia ana anau e koe, e noho: kua kite hoki ahau nau i manaakitia ai ahau e Ihowa.

And Laban said to him, If I have found grace in thy sight, I would augur [well], for the Lord has blessed me at thy coming in.

28 I mea ano ia, Whakaritea ki ahau te utu mou, a ka hoatu e ahau.

Appoint me thy wages, and I will give [them].

29 A ka mea ia ki a ia, E mohio ana koe ki taku mahinga ki a koe, ki au kararehe hoki i ahau, to ratou peheatanga.

And Jacob said, Thou knowest in what things I have served thee, and how many cattle of thine are with me.

30 I mua atu hoki i ahau he iti au mea, na kua nui noa atu tenei; a kua manaakitia koe e Ihowa ahakoa tahuri ahau ki hea, ki hea: na inaianei ahea ranei ahau mea ai hoki i tetahi mea mo toku ake whare?

For it was little thou hadst before my time, and it is increased to a multitude, and the Lord God has blessed thee since my coming; now then, when shall I set up also my own house?

31 A ka mea tera, Ko te aha taku e hoatu ai ki a koe? A ka mea a Hakopa, Kaua e homai tetahi mea ki ahau: ki te meatia mai e koe tenei mea aku, ka whangai ano ahau, ka tiaki i au hipi.

And Laban said to him, What shall I give thee? and Jacob said to him, Thou shalt not give me anything; if thou wilt do this thing for me, I will again tend thy flocks and keep them.

32 Ka tika ahau na waenganui i tau kahui katoa akuanei, a ka wehea i reira nga mea whai tongitongi katoa, nga mea purepure, me nga mea pakaka katoa i roto i nga hipi, me nga purepure, me nga mea whai tongitongi i roto i nga koati: a ko era hei utu moku.

Let all thy sheep pass by to-day, and separate thence every grey sheep among the rams, and every one that is speckled and spotted among the goats—[this] shall be my reward.

33 Penei ka whakatikaia ahau e toku tika apopo ake nei, ina tae atu ki tou aroaro ki te utu moku: ko nga mea i roto i nga koati kahore nei he tongitongi, kahore he purepure, me nga mea kahore e pakaka i roto i nga hipi, he mea tahae tena naku.

And my righteousness shall answer for me on the morrow, for it is my reward before thee: whatever shall not be spotted and speckled among the goats, and grey among the rams, shall be stolen with me.

34 Na ka mea a Rapana, Ae, pai tonu kia pena me tau i ki mai na.

And Laban said to him, Let it be according to thy word.

35 Na ka wehea e ia i taua rangi nga koati toa, nga mea whakahekeheke, me nga mea purepure, me nga koati uha e whai tongitongi ana, me nga mea purepure, nga mea he ma tetahi wahi, me nga mea pakaka o nga hipi, a hoatu ana ki nga ringa o ana tama;

And he separated in that day the spotted and speckled he-goats, and all the spotted and speckled she-goats, and all that was grey among the rams, and every one that was white among them, and he gave them into the hand of his sons.

36 Na ka whakatakiwatia e ia he takiwa i waenganui i a ia, i a Hakopa, kia toru nga ra e haerea ai; a ka whangai a Hakopa i nga hipi a Rapana i mahue iho.

And he set a distance of a three days' journey between them and Jacob. And Jacob tended the cattle of Laban that were left behind.

37 Katahi ka tikina e Hakopa etahi rakau mana, he papara mata, he aramona, he pereni; a tihorea ana e ia etahi tihorenga ma i aua mea, a ka meinga kia ata kitea te wahi ma o nga rakau.

And Jacob took to himself green rods of storax tree and walnut and plane-tree; and Jacob peeled in them white stripes; and as he drew off the green, the white stripe which he had made appeared alternate on the rods.

38 A i whakaturia e ia aua rakau i tihorea ra ki roto ki nga hake, ki roto ki nga waka wai, kia taurite mai ki nga hipi, ina haere nga hipi ki te inu; i whakahaputia hoki i te haerenga ki te inu.

And he laid the rods which he had peeled, in the hollows of the watering-troughs, that whensoever the cattle should come to drink, as they should have come to drink before the rods, the cattle might conceive at the rods.

39 Na ka whakahaputia nga kahui ki mau i nga rakau, a he whakahekeheke, he mea tongitongi, he purepure nga kuao i whanau.

So the cattle conceived at the rods, and the cattle brought forth [young] speckled, and streaked and spotted with ash-coloured [spots].

40 Na ka wehea atu nga reme e Hakopa, a whakaangahia ana e ia nga kanohi o nga kahui ki nga mea whakahekeheke, ki nga mea pakaka katoa i roto i te kahui a Rapana; na ko ana ake kahui i wehea e ia ki te whanga, kihai hoki i tukua ki roto ki te kahui a Rapana.

And Jacob separated the lambs, and set before the sheep a speckled ram, and every variegated one among the lambs, and he separated flocks for himself alone, and did not mingle them with the sheep of Laban.

41 Na, i nga wa katoa e whakahaputia ai nga mea kaha o te kahui ka whakaturia e Hakopa nga rakau ki te tirohanga a te kahui, ki roto ki nga hake, kia whakahaputia ai ratou ki waenga i nga rakau;

And it came to pass in the time wherein the cattle became pregnant, conceiving in the belly, Jacob put the rods before the cattle in the troughs, that they might conceive by the rods.

42 A ki te mea he ngoikore te kahui, kihai i whakaturia e ia: na i a Rapana nga mea ngoikore, a i a Hakopa nga mea kaha.

But he did not put them in [indiscriminately] whenever the cattle happened to bring forth, but the unmarked ones were Laban's, and the marked ones were Jacob's.

43 Na ka tino nui haere rawa taua tangata, a ka whai kahui nunui ano ia, me nga pononga wahine, me nga pononga tane, me nga kamera, me nga kaihe.

And the man became very rich, and he had many cattle, and oxen, and servants, and maid-servants, and camels, and asses.
