< Genesis 29 >

1 Therfor Jacob passide forth, and cam in to the eest lond;
Thuutha ũcio Jakubu agĩthiĩ na mbere na rũgendo rwake, agĩkinya bũrũri wa andũ a mwena wa irathĩro.
2 and seiy a pit in the feeld, and thre flockis of scheep restynge bisidis it, for whi scheep weren watrid therof, and the mouth therof was closid with a greet stoon.
Na rĩrĩ, akĩona gĩthima werũ-inĩ, na ndũũru ithatũ cia mbũri ikomete hakuhĩ nakĩo, tondũ cianyuithagio maaĩ kuuma gĩthima-inĩ kĩu. Narĩo ihiga rĩrĩa rĩakunĩkĩte mũromo wa gĩthima kĩu rĩarĩ inene mũno.
3 And the custom was that whanne alle scheep weren gaderid togidere, thei schulden turne awei the stoon, and whanne the flockis weren fillid thei schulden put it eft on the mouth of the pit.
Na ndũũru ciothe ciarĩkia kũrũrũngana hau, arĩithi nao maagaragaragia ihiga rĩkeherio mũromo-inĩ wa gĩthima, makahe ndũũru maaĩ. Magacooka magacookia ihiga handũ harĩo mũromo-inĩ wa gĩthima.
4 And Jacob seide to the scheepherdis, Brithren, of whennus ben ye? Whiche answeriden, Of Aran.
Jakubu akĩũria arĩithi acio atĩrĩ, “Ariũ a baba, muumĩte kũ?” Nao makĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Tuumĩte Harani.”
5 And he axide hem and seide, Wher ye knowen Laban, the sone of Nachor? Thei seiden, We knowen.
Akĩmooria atĩrĩ, “Nĩ mũũĩ Labani mũrũ wa Nahoru?” Nao magĩcookia “Ĩĩ, nĩ tũmũũĩ.”
6 Jacob seide, Is he hool? Thei seiden, He is in good staat; and lo! Rachel, his douytir, cometh with his flok.
Ningĩ Jakubu akĩmooria atĩrĩ, “No mwega?” Makiuga atĩrĩ, “Ĩĩ, nĩ mwega. Na rĩrĩ, mwarĩ Rakeli-rĩ, nĩwe ũũrĩa ũroka na ngʼondu.”
7 And Jacob seide, Yit myche of the dai is to come, and it is not tyme that the flockis be led ayen to the fooldis; sotheli yyue ye drynk to the scheep, and so lede ye hem ayen to mete.
Nake Jakubu akĩmeera ũũ, “Atĩrĩrĩ, riũa rĩrĩ o igũrũ; na ti ihinda rĩa gũcookanĩrĩria ndũũru. Heei ngʼondu maaĩ, mũcooke mũthiĩ mũgacirĩithie.”
8 Whiche answeriden, We moun not til alle scheep be gederid to gidere, and til we remouen the stoon fro the mouth of the pit to watir the flockis.
Nao makĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Tũtingĩĩka ũguo o nginya ndũũru ciothe icookanĩrĩrio, narĩo ihiga rĩgaragario kuuma mũromo wa gĩthima, tũcooke tũhe ngʼondu maaĩ.”
9 Yit thei spaken, and lo! Rachel cam with the scheep of hir fadir.
O akĩmaragĩria-rĩ, Rakeli agĩkinya na ngʼondu cia ithe, tondũ aarĩ mũrĩithi.
10 And whanne Jacob seiy hir, and knewe the douytir of his modris brothir, and the scheep of Laban his vncle, he remeuyde the stoon with which the pit was closid;
Rĩrĩa Jakubu onire Rakeli mwarĩ wa Labani, mũrũ wa nyina na nyina, na ngʼondu cia Labani, agĩthiĩ, akĩgaragaria ihiga, akĩrĩeheria mũromo-inĩ wa gĩthima na akĩhe ngʼondu cia mamawe maaĩ.
11 and whanne the flok was watrid, he kisside hir, and he wepte with `vois reisid.
Ningĩ Jakubu akĩmumunya Rakeli, na akĩrĩra anĩrĩire.
12 And he schewide to hir that he was the brothir of hir fadir, and the sone of Rebecca; and sche hastide, and telde to hir fadir.
Jakubu nĩeerĩte Rakeli atĩ nĩ metainwo na ithe, na atĩ aarĩ mũrũ wa Rebeka. Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Rakeli agĩtengʼera akĩĩra ithe ũhoro ũcio.
13 And whanne he hadde herd, that Jacob, the sone of his sistir, cam, he ran ayens hym, and he biclippide Jacob and kisside hym, and ledde in to his hows. Forsothe whanne the causis of the iurney weren herd,
Labani aarĩkia kũigua ũhoro wa Jakubu, mũriũ wa mwarĩ wa nyina, akĩhiũha agĩthiĩ kũmũtũnga. Akĩmũhĩmbĩria akĩmũmumunya, na akĩmũtwara mũciĩ, na arĩ kũu mũciĩ Jakubu akĩhe Labani ũhoro ũcio wothe.
14 Laban answeride, Thou art my boon and my fleisch. And aftir that the daies of o moneth weren fillid, Laban seide to him,
Nake Labani akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Ti-itherũ, ũrĩ wa mũthiimo wakwa na thakame yakwa.” Thuutha wa Jakubu gũikara nake mweri mũgima,
15 `Whethir for thou art my brothir, thou schalt serue me frely? seie thou what mede thou schalt take.
Labani akĩmũũria atĩrĩ, “Ũrĩndutagĩra wĩra o ũguo tũhũ tondũ ũrĩ wa mbarĩ ciitũ? Njĩĩra mũcaara ũrĩa ũkwenda.”
16 Forsothe Laban hadde twei douytris, the name of the more was Lya, sotheli the lesse was clepid Rachel;
Na rĩrĩ, Labani aarĩ na airĩtu eerĩ; ũrĩa mũkũrũ eetagwo Lea, nake ũrĩa mũnini eetagwo Rakeli.
17 but Lya was blere iyed, Rachel was of fair face, and semeli in siyt.
Lea aarĩ na maitho mataarĩ na hinya, no Rakeli oombĩtwo arĩ kĩĩrorerwa na aarĩ mũthaka.
18 And Jacob louede Rachel, and seide, Y schal serue thee seuene yeer for Rachel thi lesse douytir.
Jakubu eendete Rakeli, nake akiuga atĩrĩ, “Nĩngũgũtungatĩra mĩaka mũgwanja, ũndĩhe na kũũhe Rakeli, mwarĩguo ũrĩa mũnini.”
19 Laban answeride, It is betere that Y yyue hir to thee than to anothir man; dwelle thou at me.
Labani agĩcookia atĩrĩ, “Nĩ kaba ndĩmũheanĩte kũrĩ we gũkĩra ndĩmũhe mũndũ ũngĩ. Ikara gũkũ na niĩ, ũndungate.”
20 Therfor Jacob seruyde seuene yeer for Rachel; and the daies semyden fewe to hym for the greetnesse of loue.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Jakubu agĩtungata mĩaka mũgwanja nĩguo aheo Rakeli, no harĩ we yarĩ o ta matukũ manini nĩ ũndũ wa ũrĩa aamwendete.
21 And he seide to Laban, Yyue thou my wijf to me, for the tyme is fillid that Y entre to hir.
Mĩaka ĩyo yathira Jakubu akĩĩra Labani atĩrĩ, “Rĩu kĩĩhe mũtumia wakwa ndĩmũhikie, tondũ nĩndĩrarĩkirie ihinda rĩakwa rĩa gũtungata.”
22 And whanne many cumpenyes of freendis weren clepid to the feeste, he made weddyngis,
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Labani agĩkĩũngania andũ a kũu othe, akĩmarugĩra iruga.
23 and in the euentid Laban brouyte in to hym Lya his douytir,
No rĩrĩa hwaĩ-inĩ wakinyire-rĩ, akĩoya mwarĩ Lea, akĩmũnengera Jakubu, nake Jakubu agĩkoma nake.
24 and yaf an handmaide, Selfa bi name, to the douyter. And whanne Jacob hadde entrid to hir bi custom, whanne the morewtid was maad, he seiy Lya,
Ningĩ Labani akĩheana Zilipa, ndungata yake ya mũirĩtu kũrĩ mwarĩ ĩmũtungatagĩre.
25 and seide to his wyues fadir, What is it that thou woldist do? wher Y seruede not thee for Rachel? whi hast thou disseyued me?
Na gwakĩa rũciinĩ-rĩ, Jakubu akĩona atĩ aaheetwo Lea! Tondũ ũcio Jakubu akĩũria Labani atĩrĩ, “Hĩ nĩ atĩa ũũ wanjĩka? Githĩ ndiragũtungatagĩra nĩ ũndũ wa Rakeli? Ũũheenetie nĩkĩ?”
26 Laban answerde, It is not custom in oure place that we yyue first the `lesse douytris to weddyngis;
Labani akĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Ti mũtugo witũ gũkũ kũheana mũirĩtu ũrĩa mũnini ahike mbere ya ũrĩa mũkũrũ:
27 fille thou the wouke of daies of this couplyng, and Y schal yyue to thee also this Rachel, for the werk in which thou schalt serue me bi othere seuene yeer.
Rĩĩkia kiumia kĩa mũirĩtu ũyũ wahikia, na nĩtũgũcooka tũkũhe o na ũcio ũngĩ mũnini, nawe ũndutĩre wĩra mĩaka ĩngĩ mũgwanja.”
28 Jacob assentide to the couenaunt, and whanne the wouke was passid,
Nake Jakubu agĩĩka o ũguo. Akĩrĩkia kiumia kĩa Lea, nake Labani akĩmũnengera mwarĩ Rakeli atuĩke mũtumia wake.
29 he weddide Rachel, to whom the fadir hadde youe Bala seruauntesse.
Labani akĩheana Biliha, ndungata yake ya mũirĩtu, kũrĩ Rakeli ĩmũtungatagĩre.
30 And at the laste he vside the weddyngis desirid, and settide the loue of the `wijf suynge bifore the former; and he seruede at Laban seuene othere yeer.
Jakubu agĩkoma na Rakeli o nake, na akĩenda Rakeli gũkĩra Lea. Na akĩrutĩra Labani wĩra mĩaka ĩngĩ mũgwanja.
31 Forsothe the Lord seiy that he dispiside Lya, and openyde hir wombe while the sistir dwellide bareyn.
Rĩrĩa Jehova onire atĩ Lea ndendeetwo-rĩ, akĩhingũra nda yake, no Rakeli aarĩ thaata.
32 And Lia childide a sone conseyued, and clepide his name Ruben, and seide, The Lord seiy my mekenesse; now myn hosebonde schal loue me.
Lea akĩgĩa nda na agĩciara kahĩĩ. Nake agĩgatua Rubeni, akiuga atĩrĩ, “Nĩ tondũ Jehova nĩonete mĩnyamaro yakwa. Ti-itherũ, rĩu mũthuuri wakwa nĩekũnyenda.”
33 And eft sche conseyuede, `and childide a sone, and seide, For the Lord seiy that Y was dispisid, he yaf also this sone to me; and sche clepide his name Symeon.
Na akĩgĩa nda rĩngĩ, na rĩrĩa aaciarire kahĩĩ, akiuga atĩrĩ, “Tondũ Jehova nĩaiguire atĩ ndirĩ mwende-rĩ, nĩaheete gaka o nako.” Nake agĩgatua Simeoni.
34 And sche conseyuede the thridde tyme, and childide anothir sone, and she seide also, Now myn hosebonde schal be couplid to me, for Y childide thre sones to him; and therfor sche clepide his name Leuy.
O rĩngĩ akĩgĩa nda na rĩrĩa aaciarire kahĩĩ, akiuga atĩrĩ, “Ihinda rĩĩrĩ mũthuuri wakwa no ekwĩohania na niĩ tondũ nĩndĩmũciarĩire ihĩĩ ithatũ.” Nĩ ũndũ ũcio agĩgatua Lawi.
35 The fourthe tyme sche conseyuede, and childide a sone, and seide, Now I schal knouleche to the Lord; and herfor she clepide his name Judas; and ceesside to childe.
Agĩcooka akĩgĩa nda rĩngĩ, agĩciara kahĩĩ kangĩ, akiuga atĩrĩ, “Ihinda rĩĩrĩ nĩ ngũgooca Jehova.” Nĩ ũndũ ũcio agĩgatua Juda. Agĩcooka akĩrũgama kũgĩa ciana.
