Genesis 29
1 Jacob el fahsr liki acn sac ac som tulanya facl sin mwet layen nu kutulap.
Then Jacob went on his journey, and came to the land of the people of the east.
2 El fahsr nwe liyauk lufin kof se inimae ac u tolu ke sheep oan mongla siska. Mwet uh elos kite sheep natulos ke kof in luf se inge. Oasr eot tupasrpasr lulap se sang afin luf sac.
He looked and saw a well in the field, and look, 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.
3 Pacl se ma un sheep nukewa ac fahsreni uh, mwet karingin sheep inge ac epusla eot sac ac kiteya sheep natulos. Na toko elos fah sifil oakeang eot sac in afinya.
Now all the flocks would be gathered there, and they would roll the stone from the well's mouth, and water the sheep, and put the stone again on the well's mouth in its place.
4 Jacob el siyuk sin mwet liyaung sheep uh, “Kowos mwet ya?” Elos fahk, “Kut mwet Haran.”
Jacob said to them, "My brothers, where are you from?" They said, "We are from Haran."
5 El siyuk selos, “Ku kowos etal Laban, su ac ma natul Nahor?” Ac elos fahk, “Aok, kut etal.”
He said to them, "Do you know Laban, the grandson of Nahor?" They said, "We know him."
6 Na el siyuk, “Ac el fuka?” Elos topuk, “El ku na. Ngetot liye, tulik mutan se natul pa pwen un sheep natul fahsru ingo. El pa Rachel.”
He said to them, "Is it well with him?" They said, "It is well. See, Rachel, his daughter, is coming with the sheep."
7 Jacob el fahk, “Liye, srakna infulwen len, soenna pacl in utukeni sheep uh. Kowos ku tia kiteya ke kof ac folokunulosla nu inima elos in mongo we?”
He said, "Look, it is still the middle of the day, not time to gather the livestock together. Water the sheep, and go, pasture them."
8 Elos fahk, “Kut tia wi oru angan. Ac soaneyuk nwe ke na un sheep nukewa faseni, ac eot se inge ipisyukla, na kut fah sang kof nimalos.”
They said, "We can't, until all the flocks are gathered together, and they roll the stone from the well's mouth. Then we water the sheep."
9 Ke Jacob el srakna kaskas nu selos, Rachel el tuku wi un sheep nutin papa tumal ah.
While he was yet speaking with them, Rachel came with her father's sheep, for she was tending them.
10 Ke Jacob el liyalak Rachel, el som nu ke lufin kof uh ac epusla eot sac, na sang kof nimen sheep natul Laban, su ma loun nina kial.
It happened, when Jacob saw Rachel the daughter of Laban, his mother's brother, and the sheep of Laban, his mother's brother, that Jacob went over and rolled the stone from the well's mouth and watered the flock of Laban his mother's brother.
11 Na Jacob el ngok mutal Rachel, ac tung ke sripen engan lal.
Jacob kissed Rachel, and wept loudly.
12 El fahkang nu sel, “Nga wen natul Rebecca, sou lun papa tomom.” Na Rachel el yula ac fahkang nu sin papa tumal ah.
Jacob told Rachel that he was her father's brother, and that he was Rebekah's son. She ran and told her father.
13 Ac ke papa sac lohng pweng kacl Jacob, mukul se nutin ma loul, el kasrusr som in sonol. El sruokilya ac ngok mutal, na el usalla nu in lohm sel. Ke Jacob el srumunang nu sel Laban ma nukewa ma sikyak nu sel ah,
It happened, when Laban heard the news of Jacob, his sister's son, that he ran to meet Jacob, and embraced him, and kissed him, and brought him to his house. Jacob told Laban all these things.
14 Laban el fahk, “Pwaye na pwaye lah kut srah sefanna.” Na Jacob el muta yorol malem se.
Laban said to him, "Surely you are my bone and my flesh." He lived with him for a month.
15 Laban el fahk nu sel Jacob, “Kut finne sou, kom fah tia orekma nu sik ke wangin molo. Nga ac akfalye nu sum fuka?”
Laban said to Jacob, "Because you are my brother, should you therefore serve me for nothing? Tell me what your wages should be?"
16 Oasr acn luo natul Laban — inen ma se ma matu ah pa Leah, ac ma se ma srik ah pa Rachel.
Laban had two daughters. The name of the older was Leah, and the name of the younger was Rachel.
17 Wo mutal Leah, tusruktu Rachel el arulana oasku ac wo pac lumahl.
Leah looked rather plain, but Rachel was beautiful in form and beautiful in appearance.
18 Jacob el arulana lungse Rachel, ac el fahk, “Nga ac orekma nu sum yac itkosr, kom fin usalu Rachel kiuk.”
Jacob loved Rachel. He said, "I will serve you seven years for Rachel, your younger daughter."
19 Laban el topuk, “Nga ac lungse eisalot nu sum liki na in eisalang nu sin kutena mwet saya. Tari, mutana yuruk.”
Laban said, "It is better that I give her to you, than that I should give her to another man. Stay with me."
20 Jacob el orekma yac itkosr elan mau ku in eisal Rachel, ac ke sripen el lungse el yohk, yac itkosr sac oana in pacl na fototo se nu sel.
Jacob served seven years for Rachel, and it seemed only a few days to him because of his love for her.
21 Na Jacob el fahk nu sel Laban, “Sun tari lusen pacl sac. Fuhlela nga in payukyak sin acn nutum.”
Jacob said to Laban, "Give me my wife, for my time is completed, so that I may sleep with her."
22 Ouinge Laban el oru kufwen marut se ac suli mwet nukewa.
Laban gathered together all the people of the place, and gave a feast.
23 Tusruktu in fong sac, el tia usal Rachel, a el eisalang Leah nu sel Jacob, ac Jacob el ona yorol. (
It happened in the evening, that he took Leah his daughter and brought her to him, and he slept wit her.
24 Laban el eisalang Zilpah, mutan kulansap lal, nu sel Leah, acn natul, tuh elan mutan kulansap lal.)
Laban gave Zilpah his female servant to his daughter Leah as a servant.
25 Jacob el tiana etu nwe ke lotutang tok ah lah Leah pa oan yorol ah. El som nu yorol Laban ac fahk, “Efu kom ku oru ange nu sik? Nga orekma kacl Rachel, na efu kom ku kiapweyula?”
It happened in the morning that, look, it was Leah. He said to Laban, "What is this you have done to me? Did I not work for you to have Rachel? Why then have you deceived me?"
26 Laban el fahk, “Ouiya lasr uh, kut tia ku in sang el su srik in payukyak meet liki el su matu.
Laban said, "It is not our custom here to give the younger before the firstborn.
27 Tupan in safla wik in akfulat lun marut uh, na nga fah eisalot Rachel nu sum, kom fin sifilpa orekma luk ke yac itkosr.”
Finish the week of this one, and I will give you the other also in exchange for the work which you are to serve with me for another seven years."
28 Jacob el insese nu kac, ac ke safla wik in akfulat ke marut uh, Laban el eisalang Rachel, acn natul, tuh elan mutan pac kial. (
Then Jacob did so, and fulfilled her week. He gave him Rachel his daughter as wife.
29 Laban el eisalang Bilhah, mutan kulansap lal, nu sel Rachel, acn natul, tuh elan mutan kulansap lal.)
Laban gave to Rachel his daughter Bilhah, his female servant, to be her servant.
30 Jacob el ona yorol Rachel pac, ac el lungse Rachel yohk lukel Leah. Ouinge el sifilpa orekma nu sel Laban ke yac itkosr pac.
So he slept with Rachel also, and he loved Rachel more than Leah. And he worked with him another seven years.
31 Ke LEUM GOD El liye lah srik lungse lal Jacob nu sel Leah lukel Rachel, El oru tuh in oasr tulik natul Leah, a funu Rachel, wangin tulik natul.
YHWH saw that Leah was unloved, so he made her fertile, but Rachel was barren.
32 Leah el pitutuyak ac oswela wen se. El fahk, “LEUM GOD El liye keok luk, ac inge mukul tumuk uh ac fah lungsela nga.” Ouinge el sang inen tulik sac Reuben.
Leah conceived, and bore a son, and she named him Reuben. For she said, "Because God has looked at my affliction, and given me a son. For now my husband will love me."
33 El sifilpa pitutuyak ac oswela pac wen se. El fahk, “LEUM GOD El ase pac wen se inge nutik, mweyen El lohng lah srungayuk na nga.” Ke ma inge el sang inen tulik sac Simeon.
She conceived again, and bore a son, and said, "Because God has heard that I am unloved, he has therefore given me this son also." So she named him Simeon.
34 El sifilpa pitutuyak ac oswela pac wen se. Na el fahk, “Inge mukul tumuk uh ac arulana kupasrme nu sik liki na meet ah, mweyen nga osweang wen tolu nu sel.” Ke ma inge el sang inen wen sac Levi.
She conceived again, and bore a son. She said, "Now this time my husband will become attached to me, since I have given him three sons." Therefore he was named Levi.
35 Toko el sifilpa pitutuyak ac oswela wen se. Ac el fahk, “Inge nga fah kaksakin LEUM GOD.” Ouinge el sang inen wen sac Judah. Na wotyak isus lal uh.
She conceived again, and bore a son. She said, "This time will I praise YHWH." Therefore she named him Judah. Then she stopped bearing.
