Genesis 29
1 Then Jacob went on his journey, and came to the land of the children of the east.
Pagkatapos nagpatuloy si Jacob sa kanyang paglalakbay at nakarating sa lupain ng mga mamamayan sa silangan.
2 He looked, and saw a well in the field, and saw three flocks of sheep lying there by it. For out of that well they watered the flocks. The stone on the well’s mouth was large.
Nang siya ay nagmasid, mayroon siyang nakitang balon sa bukid, at nakita niya, na may tatlong mga kawan ng tupa na namamahinga sa paligid nito. Dahil mula sa balong iyon pinapainom nila ang mga kawan, at ang bato sa bunganga ng balon ay malaki.
3 There all the flocks were gathered. They rolled the stone from the well’s mouth, and watered the sheep, and put the stone back on the well’s mouth in its place.
Kapag sama-samang napagtipon ang lahat ng mga kawan doon, igugulong ng mga pastol ang bato mula sa bunganga ng balon at paiinumin ang mga tupa, at pagkatapos ibabalik muli ang bato sa bunganga ng balon, pabalik sa kinalalagyan nito.
4 Jacob said to them, “My relatives, where are you from?” They said, “We are from Haran.”
Sinabi ni Jacob sa kanila, “Mga kapatid ko, saan kayo nanggaling?” At sinabi nila, “Kami ay nanggaling sa Haran”.
5 He said to them, “Do you know Laban, the son of Nahor?” They said, “We know him.”
Sinabi niya sa kanila, “Kilala ba ninyo si Laban na anak ni Nahor?” At sinabi nila, “Kilala namin siya”.
6 He said to them, “Is it well with him?” They said, “It is well. See, Rachel, his daughter, is coming with the sheep.”
Sinabi niya sa kanila “Mabuti ba ang kalagayan niya?” Sinabi nila, “Mabuti naman siya, at, tumingin ka roon, si Raquel na kanyang anak ay paparating kasama ang mga tupa.”
7 He said, “Behold, it is still the middle of the day, not time to gather the livestock together. Water the sheep, and go and feed them.”
Sinabi ni Jacob, “Tingnan mo, ito katanghaliang-tapat. Hindi pa oras para sa mga kawan na sama-samang tipunin. Painumin ninyo ang mga tupa at pagkatapos umalis kayo at hayaan silang manginain ng damo.”
8 They said, “We can’t, until all the flocks are gathered together, and they roll the stone from the well’s mouth. Then we will water the sheep.”
Sinabi nila, “Hindi namin sila mapapainum hangga't hindi pa sama-samang natitipon ang mga kawan. Saka pa lamang igugulong ng mga kalalakihan ang bato mula sa bunganga ng balon, at paiinumin namin ang mga tupa.”
9 While he was yet speaking with them, Rachel came with her father’s sheep, for she kept them.
Habang si Jacob ay nakikipag-usap pa rin sa kanila, dumating si Raquel kasama ang mga tupa ng kanyang ama, dahil inaalagaan niya ang mga ito.
10 When Jacob saw Rachel the daughter of Laban, his mother’s brother, and the sheep of Laban, his mother’s brother, Jacob went near, and rolled the stone from the well’s mouth, and watered the flock of Laban his mother’s brother.
Nang makita ni Jacob si Raquel, anak na babae ni Laban, kapatid na lalaki ng kanyang ina, lumapit si Jacob, pinagulung ang bato mula sa bunganga ng balon, at pinainom ang kawan ni Laban, na kapatid ng kanyang ina.
11 Jacob kissed Rachel, and lifted up his voice, and wept.
Hinalikan ni Jacob si Raquel at umiyak ng malakas.
12 Jacob told Rachel that he was her father’s relative, and that he was Rebekah’s son. She ran and told her father.
Sinabi ni Jacob kay Raquel na siya ay kamag-anak ng kanyang ama, at siya ay anak ni Rebeca. Pagkatapos tumakbo si Raquel at sinabi niya sa kanyang ama.
13 When Laban heard the news of Jacob, his sister’s son, he ran to meet Jacob, and embraced him, and kissed him, and brought him to his house. Jacob told Laban all these things.
Nang marinig ni Laban ang balita tungkol kay Jacob na anak ng kanyang kapatid na babae, siya ay tumakbo para salubungin siya, yakapin, halikan at dalhin sa kanyang bahay. Sinabi ni Jacob kay Laban ang lahat ng mga bagay na ito.
14 Laban said to him, “Surely you are my bone and my flesh.” Jacob stayed with him for a month.
Sinabi ni Laban sa kanya, “Tunay nga na ikaw ay aking buto at laman,” Pagkataposnanatili si Jacob sa piling niya ng isang buwan.
15 Laban said to Jacob, “Because you are my relative, should you therefore serve me for nothing? Tell me, what will your wages be?”
Pagkatapos sinabi ni Laban kay Jacob, “Pagsisilbihan mo ba ako sa wala dahil kamag-anak mo ako? Sabihin mo sa akin, ano ang iyong magiging kabayaran?”
16 Laban had two daughters. The name of the elder was Leah, and the name of the younger was Rachel.
Ngayon si Laban ay may dalawang anak na babae. Ang pangalan ng nakatatanda ay Lea at ang pangalan ng nakababatang kapatid ay Raquel.
17 Leah’s eyes were weak, but Rachel was beautiful in form and attractive.
Si Lea ay may mapupungay na mga mata, pero si Raquel ay maganda sa anyo at itsura.
18 Jacob loved Rachel. He said, “I will serve you seven years for Rachel, your younger daughter.”
Minahal ni Jacob si Raquel, kaya sinabi niya, “Maninilbihan ako sa iyo ng pitong taon para kay Raquel, ang iyong nakababatang anak na babae.”
19 Laban said, “It is better that I give her to you, than that I should give her to another man. Stay with me.”
Sinabi si Laban, “Mas mabuti na ibigay ko siya sa iyo, kaysa ibigay ko siya sa ibang lalaki. Manatili ka sa akin.”
20 Jacob served seven years for Rachel. They seemed to him but a few days, for the love he had for her.
Kaya naninilbihan si Jacob ng pitong taon para kay Raquel; at tila ang mga ito ay parang iilang araw lamang sa kanya, dahil sa pagmamahal na mayroon siya sa kanya.
21 Jacob said to Laban, “Give me my wife, for my days are fulfilled, that I may go in to her.”
Pagkatapos sinabi ni Jacob kay Laban, “Ibigay mo na ang aking asawa, dahil ang mga araw ko ay natapos na—para mapakasalan ko na siya!”
22 Laban gathered together all the men of the place, and made a feast.
Kaya tinipon ni Laban ang lahat ng mga lalaki sa lugar at nagpista.
23 In the evening, he took Leah his daughter, and brought her to Jacob. He went in to her.
Kinagabihan, kinuha ni Laban si Lea na kanyang anak at dinala kay Jacob, na siyang sumiping sa kanya.
24 Laban gave Zilpah his servant to his daughter Leah for a servant.
Binigay rin ni Laban ang kanyang babaeng lingkod na si Zilpa sa kanyang anak na si Lea, para maging lingkod niya.
25 In the morning, behold, it was Leah! He said to Laban, “What is this you have done to me? Didn’t I serve with you for Rachel? Why then have you deceived me?”
Kinaumagahan, nagulat siya, dahil si Lea ang kasama niya! Sinabi ni Jacob kay Laban, “Ano ba itong ginawa mo sa akin?” Hindi ba nanilbihan ako sa iyo para kay Raquel? Bakit dinaya mo ako?”
26 Laban said, “It is not done so in our place, to give the younger before the firstborn.
Sinabi ni Laban, “Hindi namin kaugalian na ibigay ang nakababatang anak na babae bago ang panganay.
27 Fulfill the week of this one, and we will give you the other also for the service which you will serve with me for seven more years.”
Tapusin mo ang isang linggong kasalan sa anak kong ito, at ibibigay rin namin sa iyo ang isa bilang kapalit ng iyong paninilbihan sa akin ng karagdagang pitong taon.”
28 Jacob did so, and fulfilled her week. He gave him Rachel his daughter as wife.
Kaya ginawa iyon ni Jacob, at natapos ang isang linggo para kay Lea. Pagkatapos ay ibinigay ni Laban sa kanya si Raquel bilang kanyang asawa rin.
29 Laban gave Bilhah, his servant, to his daughter Rachel to be her servant.
Ibinigay rin ni Laban si Bilha sa kanyang anak na babaeng si Raquel, para maging lingkod.
30 He went in also to Rachel, and he loved also Rachel more than Leah, and served with him seven more years.
Kaya pinakasalan ni Jacob si Raquel, dahil minahal niya si Raquel nang mas higit pa kay Lea. Kaya nanilbihan si Jacob kay Laban ng karagdagang pitong taon.
31 Yahweh saw that Leah was hated, and he opened her womb, but Rachel was barren.
Nakita ni Yahweh na si Lea ay hindi minahal, kaya binuksan niya ang kanyang sinapupunan, pero si Raquel ay walang anak.
32 Leah conceived, and bore a son, and she named him Reuben. For she said, “Because Yahweh has looked at my affliction; for now my husband will love me.”
Si Lea ay nagdalang-tao at nagsilang ng isang batang lalaki, at pinangalanan niyang Ruben. Sinabi niya, “Dahil nakita ni Yahweh ang aking paghihirap; tiyak ngayon na mamahalin na ako ng aking asawa.
33 She conceived again, and bore a son, and said, “Because Yahweh has heard that I am hated, he has therefore given me this son also.” She named him Simeon.
Pagkatapos muli siyang nagdalang-tao at nagsilang ng lalaki. Sinabi niya, “Dahil narinig ni Yahweh na hindi ako minahal, kaya binigyan din niya ako ng anak na lalaki,” at pinangalanan niya itong Simeon.
34 She conceived again, and bore a son. She said, “Now this time my husband will be joined to me, because I have borne him three sons.” Therefore his name was called Levi.
Pagkatapos nagdalang-tao siya muli at nagsilang ng lalaki. Sinabi niya, “Ngayon, sa pagkakataong ito, ang aking asawa ay magiging malapit na sa akin dahil nakapagsilang ako para sa kanya ng tatlong lalaki.” Kaya nga ang kanyang pangalan ay tinawag na Levi.
35 She conceived again, and bore a son. She said, “This time I will praise Yahweh.” Therefore she named him Judah. Then she stopped bearing.
Nagdalang-tao siya muli at nagsilang ng lalaki. Sinabi niya, “Sa pagkakataong ito pupurihin ko si Yahweh.” Kaya nga pinangalanan niya itong Juda; Pagkatapos huminto na siya sa pagkakaroon ng anak.
