< Genesis 29 >

1 Then Jacob went on his journey, and came into the land of the people of the east.
Basa ma, Yakob lao nakandoo seriꞌ rulu neu.
2 And he looked, and behold a well in the field, and, lo, there were three flocks of sheep lying by it; for out of that well they watered the flocks: and a great stone was upon the well’s mouth.
Faiꞌ esa, ana nita oe mataꞌ sa deka kamboꞌ esa. Hiek-lombo nononggoꞌ telu, nea-nea rae rinu sia naa. Te fatu monaeꞌ esa tatana oe mataꞌ a.
3 And there 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.
Mia doo na, mete ma hiek-lombo basa se raꞌabꞌue, dei fo manatadꞌa ra oꞌo dinggoꞌ fatu a, fo hando oe fee se rinu. Basa fo, ara tatana baliꞌ oe mataꞌ a.
4 And Jacob said to them, My brethren, from where are ye? And they said, We are from Haran.
Yakob natane manatadꞌa ra nae, “Hei ma bee ima?” Ara rataa rae, “Hai, mia kambo Haran ia.”
5 And he said to them, Know ye Laban the son of Nahor? And they said, We know him.
Yakob natane seluꞌ nae, “Mihine toꞌo Labꞌan ngga, do? Eni, Nahor anan.” Ara rataa rae, “Hai mihine.”
6 And he said to them, Is he well? And they said, He is well: and, behold, Rachel his daughter cometh with the sheep.
Ma Yakob natane fai nae, “Ana malolole, do?” Ara rataa rae, “Tou lasiꞌ a malolole. Sobꞌa mete dei. Naa, eni ana feto na, naran Rahel. Ana mboo nendi hiek-lombo nara rema rinu sia ia. De muhani e.”
7 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.
Basa ma Yakob olaꞌ nae, “Oras ia, feꞌe rereloꞌ. Malole lenaꞌ banda bee raꞌabꞌue sia ia ena, naa, hei fee se rinu leo. Basa fo, mboo mendi se nembe reu, fo raa selu uru.”
8 And they said, We cannot, until all the flocks are gathered together, and till they roll the stone from the well’s mouth; then we water the sheep.
Te ara rareresi rae, “We, nda taꞌo naa sa! Hai musi mihani manatadꞌa ra basa se mboo rendi banda ra raꞌabꞌue sia ia dei, fo hai feꞌe oꞌo dinggoꞌ fatu a, fo hani se.”
9 And while he was yet speaking with them, Rachel came with her father’s sheep: for she kept them.
Yakob feꞌe ola-olaꞌ no atahori ra ma, Rahel losa no ama na hiek-lombo nara. Eni mana biasa mboo banda naa ra.
10 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.
Yakob nita Rahel ma hiek-lombo nara ma, ana neu oꞌo dinggoꞌ oe mataꞌ a tatana na. De hani toꞌo na banda nara.
11 And Jacob kissed Rachel, and lifted up his voice, and wept.
Basa ma, ana neu holu-idu Rahel, ma nggae.
12 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.
Ana dui Rahel nae, “Odꞌi! Au ia, ho ama ma odꞌi na Ribka anan.” Boe ma, Rahel nela baliꞌ neu nafadꞌe ama na.
13 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.
Labꞌan rena Rahel dui soꞌal Yakob, eni odꞌi na Ribka anan ma, ana nelaꞌ neu soru e. Ara randaa ma, Labꞌan holu ma idu e. Basa ma, no Yakob ume neu, de Yakob dui basaꞌ e neu e.
14 And Laban said to him, Surely thou art my bone and my flesh. And he abode with him the space of a month.
Ma Labꞌan olaꞌ nae, “Memaꞌ tebꞌe! Hita ruꞌa nggita bobꞌonggiꞌ!” Yakob leo no se losa fula esa ena ma,
15 And Laban said to Jacob, Because thou art my brother, shouldest thou therefore serve me for nothing? tell me, what shall thy wages be?
Labꞌan olaꞌ no e nae, “Taꞌo ia, Ako! Au nda nau ho tao ues mudꞌaꞌ sa, huu ruꞌa nggita bobꞌonggiꞌ. Ho moꞌe nggadiꞌ baꞌu sa?”
16 And Laban had two daughters: the name of the elder was Leah, and the name of the younger was Rachel.
Labꞌan ana feton rua. Aꞌa ka, naran Lea, ma odꞌi ka, naran Rahel.
17 Leah was tender eyed; but Rachel was beautiful and well favoured.
Lea, akaꞌ mata deke na fo maloleꞌ, te Rahel meulau na seli.
18 And Jacob loved Rachel; and said, I will serve thee seven years for Rachel thy younger daughter.
Yakob sue Rahel, de nataa Labꞌan nae, “Au tao ues fee toꞌo too hitu, sadꞌi toꞌo fee au sao ala Rahel.”
19 And Laban said, It is better that I give her to thee, than that I should give her to another man: abide with me.
Ma Labꞌan nataa nae, “Au nau! Malole lenaꞌ au fee ne sao nggo, fo au bobꞌonggi ngga. Naa fo, atahori feaꞌ afiꞌ sao rala e. De leo siaꞌ a ia, fo tao ues fee au.”
20 And Jacob served seven years for Rachel; and they seemed to him but a few days, for the love he had for her.
Boe ma Yakob tao ues too hitu, fo bisa sao Rahel. Huu ana sue Rahel seli, naa de, too hitu naa ra, ana medꞌa onaꞌ fai hiraꞌ a.
21 And Jacob said to Laban, Give me my wife, for my days are fulfilled, that I may go in to her.
Basa too hitu naa ra ma, Yakob fee nesenenedꞌaꞌ neu Labꞌan nae, “Toꞌo! Au tao ues fee toꞌo too hitu ena. De fee au sao Rahel leo.”
22 And Laban gathered together all the men of the place, and made a feast.
Boe ma, Labꞌan lemba-dꞌodꞌe se, de narolo basa atahori sia nusaꞌ naa.
23 And it came to pass in the evening, that he took Leah his daughter, and brought her to him; and he went in to her.
Tetembaꞌ naa, Labꞌan nda fee Rahel sa, te ana fee Lea nisiꞌ Yakob lalaat na rala. De Yakob sungguꞌ no e. Mbila fefetu na ma, Yakob feꞌe bubꞌuluꞌ nae, eni sao Lea. De ana neu natane Labꞌan nae, “Saa de toꞌo eꞌedꞌik au? Au tao ues too hitu, fo ae sao Rahel! Taꞌo bee de nggati no Lea?” Ma Labꞌan nataa nae, “Afiꞌ mumunasa taꞌo naa! Tungga hai adat ma, odꞌiꞌ afiꞌ sao naꞌahuluꞌ aꞌaꞌ. Malole lenaꞌ taꞌo ia! Muhani lemba-dꞌodꞌeꞌ ia losa fai hitu basa dei. Basa fo, ho sao Rahel, sadꞌi ho tao ues fee au too hitu fai.” Boe ma Labꞌan fee ate ina na, naran Silpa, fo dadꞌi Lea ate na.
24 And Laban gave to his daughter Leah Zilpah his maid for an handmaid.
25 And it came to pass, that in the morning, behold, it was Leah: and he said to Laban, What is this thou hast done to me? did I not serve with thee for Rachel? why then hast thou deceived me?
26 And Laban said, It must not be so done in our country, to give the younger before the firstborn.
27 Fulfil her week, and we will give thee this also for the service which thou shalt serve with me yet seven other years.
28 And Jacob did so, and fulfilled her week: and he gave him Rachel his daughter for a wife also.
Yakob o nau boe. Naa de, fefeta fai kahituꞌ a basa ma, Labꞌan naꞌasasaoꞌ Rahel no Yakob.
29 And Laban gave to Rachel his daughter Bilhah his handmaid to be her maid.
Labꞌan fee ate inaꞌ na esa fai, naran Bilha, fo dadꞌi Rahel ate na.
30 And he went in also to Rachel, and he loved also Rachel more than Leah, and served with him yet seven other years.
Basa ma, Yakob sungguꞌ no Rahel. Ana sue Rahel lenaꞌ Lea, de tao ues seluꞌ too hitu fee ama ari na.
31 And when the LORD saw that Leah was hated, he opened her womb: but Rachel was barren.
LAMATUALAIN nahine Yakob sue Rahel lenaꞌ Lea. De Ana fee Lea bꞌonggi, te Rahel nda bꞌonggi sa.
32 And Leah conceived, and bore a son, and she called his name Reuben: for she said, Surely the LORD hath looked upon my affliction; now therefore my husband will love me.
Lea nairu, de bꞌonggi ana touꞌ esa. Ana nae, “LAMATUALAIN memaꞌ nita au sususa ngga. Ia naa, sao ngga nau mete-seꞌu au, huu anaꞌ ia.” Naa de, ana babꞌae anaꞌ a, Ruben (lii na, naeꞌ a onaꞌ dedꞌeat esa fo sosoa na, ‘ana nita au sususa ngga ena’).
33 And she conceived again, and bore a son; and said, Because the LORD hath heard that I was hated, he hath therefore given me this son also: and she called his name Simeon.
Basa ma, Lea nairu seluꞌ, de bꞌonggi ana touꞌ esa fai. Ana nae, “LAMATUALAIN rena au sao ngga nda tao mataꞌ neu au sa. Naa de, Ana fee au anaꞌ esa fai.” Naa de, ana babꞌae anaꞌ naa, Simeon (sosoa na ‘atahori rena ena’).
34 And she conceived again, and bore a son; and said, Now this time will my husband love me, because I have borne him three sons: therefore was his name called Levi.
Basa ma, Lea nairu seluꞌ, de bꞌonggi ana touꞌ esa fai. Ana nae, “No anaꞌ ia, au dedꞌeat ngga basa ena. Au sao ngga musi nenepaꞌaꞌ no au, huu au bꞌonggi fee ne ana touꞌ telu ena.” Naa de, ana babꞌae anaꞌ naa, Lewi (sosoa na ‘nenepaꞌaꞌ’).
35 And she conceived again, and bore a son: and she said, Now will I praise the LORD: therefore she called his name Judah; and stopped bearing.
Basa ma, Lea nairu fai, de bꞌonggi ana touꞌ esa. Ana nae, “Oeꞌ ia, au ae koa-kio LAMATUALAIN!” Naa de, ana babꞌae anaꞌ naa, Yahuda (sosoa na mbei ma ‘koa-kio’). Basa naa ma, Lea nda bꞌonggi sa ena.
