Genesis 30 (BEO)

1Be La:isele da Ya:igobe ea mano hame laiba:le ea dalusima mudasu ba:i. E da Ya:igobema amane sia:i, “Di da nama mano hame iasea na da bogomu.”When Rachel saw that she was not bearing any children for Jacob, she envied her sister. “Give me children, or I will die!” she said to Jacob.

2La:isele ea sia: nababeba:le, Ya:igobe da ougi ba:i. E amane sia:i, “Na da Gode Ea sogebi lamu da hamedei galebe. Hi fawane da dia mano lamu logo ga:sisa.”Jacob became angry with Rachel and said, “Am I in the place of God, who has withheld children from you?”

3La:isele da amane sia:i, “Di da na udigili hawa: hamosu a:fini Biliha, amo lama. Di amola e gilisili golama. Amasea, e da mano lasea, na da amo mano ea ame esalumu.”Then she said, “Here is my maidservant Bilhah. Sleep with her, that she may bear children for me, so that through her I too can build a family.”

4E da Biliha amo egoama i. Amalalu, Ya:igobe da e amola gilisili golai.So Rachel gave Jacob her servant Bilhah as a wife, and he slept with her,

5Biliha da abula agui, dunu mano lalelegei.and Bilhah conceived and bore him a son.

6La:isele da amane sia:i, “Gode da na fidima:ne fofada:i dagoi. E da na sia:ne gadosu nabalu, dunu mano nama i dagoi.” Amaiba:le, e da ea manoma Da:ne (Fidima:ne fofada:su) dio asuli dagoi.Then Rachel said, “God has vindicated me; He has heard my plea and given me a son.” So she named him Dan.

7Biliha da bu abula agui, Ya:igobe ea dunu mano eno amola lalelegei.And Rachel’s servant Bilhah conceived again and bore Jacob a second son.

8La:isele da amane sia:i, “Na da na dalusima bagadewane gegei galu. Be na da osa:le heda:i dagoi. Amaiba:le e da amo manoma Na:badalai (Gegesu) dio asuli.Then Rachel said, “In my great struggles, I have wrestled with my sister and won.” So she named him Naphtali.

9Lia da ea mano lamu logo ga:i dagoi amo dawa:beba:le, e da ea udigili hawa: hamosu a:fini Siliba amo Ya:igobema i.When Leah saw that she had stopped having children, she gave her servant Zilpah to Jacob as a wife.

10Amalalu, Siliba da Ya:igobe ea dunu mano lalelegei.And Leah’s servant Zilpah bore Jacob a son.

11Lia da amane sia:i, “Na da hahawane udigili lai!” Amaiba:le e da Ga:de (Hahawane udigili Lai) dio ema asuli.Then Leah said, “How fortunate!” So she named him Gad.

12Siliba da Ya:igobe ea dunu mano eno lai.When Leah’s servant Zilpah bore Jacob a second son,

13Lia da amane sia:i, “Na da hahawane bagade! Eno uda da na da hahawane sia:mu. Amaiba:le, e da amo manoma A:sie (Hahawane) dio asuli.Leah said, “How happy I am! For the women call me happy.” So she named him Asher.

14Widi faisu eso amoga, Liubene da gisi sogega asili, sogea liligi amo mano lasu fidisu liligi ilia da dawa:i galu, (ma:nadala:igi) amo fili, ea:me Liama gaguli misi. La:isele da Lia ema amane sia:i, “Dia mano ea sogea lai liligi amo mogili nama ima.”Now during the wheat harvest, Reuben went out and found some mandrakes in the field. When he brought them to his mother, Rachel begged Leah, “Please give me some of your son’s mandrakes.”

15Lia da bu adole i, “Di da nagoa wamolai dagoi. Amo da hamedei liligi di da dawa:bela:? Be wali di da na mano ea sogea liligi amo amola lamusa: dawa:lala. La:isele da amane sia:i, “Di da dia mano ea sogea liligi amo nama iasea, di amola Ya:igobe da wali gasia gilisili golamu da defea.”But Leah replied, “Is it not enough that you have taken away my husband? Now you want to take my son’s mandrakes as well?” “Very well,” said Rachel, “he may sleep with you tonight in exchange for your son’s mandrakes.”

16Daeya, Ya:igobe da ifabi amoga misini, Lia da logoga e yosia:musa: asi. Lia da amane sia:i, “Ania da wali gasia gilisili golamu galebe. Na da na mano ea sogea amoga di bidi lai dagoi.” Amaiba:le, Ya:igobe da e amola gilisili golai.When Jacob came in from the field that evening, Leah went out to meet him and said, “You must come with me, for I have hired you with my son’s mandrakes.” So he slept with her that night.

17Gode da Lia ea sia:ne gadosu nabi dagoi. E da abula agui, Ya:igobe ea dunu mano eno - amo da mano bi gala lalelegei.And God listened to Leah, and she conceived and bore a fifth son to Jacob.

18Lia da amane sia:i, “Na da na hawa: hamosu a:fini nagoama i dagoiba:le, Gode da nama hahawane bidi i dagoi. Amaiba:le, e da ea manoma Isiga (Dunu Bidiga Lai) amo dio asuli.Then Leah said, “God has rewarded me for giving my maidservant to my husband.” So she named him Issachar.

19Lia da bu abula agui ba:i. E da Ya:igobe ea dunu mano gafe lalelegei dagoi.Again Leah conceived and bore a sixth son to Jacob.

20E amane sia:i, “Gode da nama hahawane udigili iasu i dagoi. Wali, na da nagoama dunu mano gafeyale ia dagoiba:le, e da na hahawane lamu. Amaiba:le, e da amo manoma Sebiulane (Hahawane Iasu Lai) dio asuli.“God has given me a good gift,” she said. “This time my husband will honor me, because I have borne him six sons.” And she named him Zebulun.

21Fa:no, Lia da uda mano lai dagoi. E da ema Daina dio asuli.After that, Leah gave birth to a daughter and named her Dinah.

22Amalalu, Gode da bu La:isele dawa:i. E da ea sia:ne gadosu nabi. E da ea mano lamu logo doasi dagoi.Then God remembered Rachel. He listened to her and opened her womb,

23E da abula agui, dunu mano lalelegei. E amane sia:i, “Gode da nama dunu mano ia dagoiba:le, na gogosiasu fadegai dagoi.and she conceived and gave birth to a son. “God has taken away my shame,” she said.

24E da nama eno dunu mano imunu da defea. Amaiba:le, e da amo manoma Yousefe (Eno imunu da defea) dio asuli.She named him Joseph, and said, “May the LORD add to me another son.”

25Yousefe da lalelegei dagoloba, Ya:igobe da La:iba:nema amane sia:i, “Na da na diasuga masunu. Na masa:ne logo doasima.Now after Rachel had given birth to Joseph, Jacob said to Laban, “Send me on my way so I can return to my homeland.

26Na uda amola mano amo na da dia hawa: hamosu hamoiba:le bidi lai, amo huluane nama ianu na da masunu galebe. Di dawa:. Na da dia hawa: hamosu noga:le hamoi.Give me my wives and children for whom I have served you, that I may go on my way. You know how hard I have worked for you.”

27La:iba:ne da ema amane sia:i, “Na da ba:la:lusu dunu agoane. Na agoane ba:i. Dia hawa: hamobeba:le, Gode da nama hahawane dogolegele hamoi.But Laban replied, “If I have found favor in your eyes, please stay. I have learned by divination that the LORD has blessed me because of you.”

28Dima bidi imunu defei, amo di fawane sia:ma. Amasea, na da amo dima imunu”And he added, “Name your wages, and I will pay them.”

29Ya:igobe da amane sia:i, “Di da na hawa: hamosu dawa:. Na da dia sibi noga:le ouligisu. Amaiba:le, ilia idi da noga:le heda:i amola di da bagade gaguiwane ba:sa.Then Jacob answered, “You know how I have served you and how your livestock have thrived under my care.

30Musa: na da mae misini, dia sibi da bagahame galu. Be wali bagohame ba:sa. Na da fidibiba:le, Gode da dima hahawane dogolegele fidisu. Wali na da ni liligi amo dawa:mu.”Indeed, you had very little before my arrival, but now your wealth has increased many times over. The LORD has blessed you wherever I set foot. But now, when may I also provide for my own household?”

31La:iba:ne da amane sia:i, “Na da dima adi ima:bela:?” Ya:igobe da bu adole i, “Na da muni hame lamu. Di da na adole ba:su hahawane ba:sea, na da dia sibi bu ouligimu.“What can I give you?” Laban asked. “You do not need to give me anything,” Jacob replied. “If you do this one thing for me, I will keep on shepherding and keeping your flocks.

32Be wali eso na da dia sibi fi amoga bunumai sibi mano, amola goudi hoholei o daginisisi, amo huluane na da lamu. Amo bidi fawane na da lamu.Let me go through all your flocks today and remove from them every speckled or spotted sheep, every dark-colored lamb, and every spotted or speckled goat. These will be my wages.

33Amola hobea di da na hou hedolo ba:mu. Di da na hou ba:la masea, hoholei o daginisisi hame hamoi goudi o bunumai hame sibi ba:sea, amo da wamolai dagoi di da dawa:mu.”So my honesty will testify for me when you come to check on my wages in the future. If I have any goats that are not speckled or spotted, or any lambs that are not dark-colored, they will be considered stolen.”

34La:iba:ne da bu adole i, “Defea! Dia sia: defele ninia da hamomu.”“Agreed,” said Laban. “Let it be as you have said.”

35Be amo eso La:iba:ne da goudi gawali hoholei amola aseme fifi amola daginisisi huluane, amola bunumai sibi amo fadegale, egefelali ili ouligima:ne oule asi.That very day Laban removed all the streaked or spotted male goats and every speckled or spotted female goat—every one that had any white on it—and every dark-colored lamb, and he placed them under the care of his sons.

36Amalalu, e da Ya:igobe fisili, eso udiana asili, eno sogega doaga:i. Be Ya:igobe da La:iba:ne ea sibi eno ouligisu.Then he put a three-day journey between himself and Jacob, while Jacob was shepherding the rest of Laban’s flocks.

37Ya:igobe da ifa amoda lale, ea gadofo mogili amo gobiheiga gagaselele, amoda da ahea:iai amola bunumai, amo fifi agoane ba:i.Jacob, however, took fresh branches of poplar, almond, and plane trees, and peeled the bark, exposing the white inner wood of the branches.

38Amo ifa amoda e da sibi gilisisu ilia hano nasu ofodo gadenene ligisi. Bai fofoi ohe da hano na misini, mano lama:ne agusu.Then he set the peeled branches in the watering troughs in front of the flocks coming in to drink. So when the flocks were in heat and came to drink,

39Amaiba:le, goudi da mano hamoma:ne ifa ba:le gaidiga hamosu, ilia mano da fa:no lalelegeloba hoholei amola fifi daginisisi ba:su.they mated in front of the branches. And they bore young that were streaked or speckled or spotted.

40Ya:igobe da sibi amola goudi afafai. Sibi da mano lasu hou hamonoba, e da ea sibi amo La:iba:ne ea fifi amola bunumai lai gebo amo ba:la masa:ne olelei. Amalalu, ea lai gebo da bagade hamoi, amola e da ea lai gebo fi amo La:iba:ne ea lai gebo fi ilima afafai.Jacob set apart the young, but made the rest face the streaked dark-colored sheep in Laban’s flocks. Then he set his own stock apart and did not put them with Laban’s animals.

41Noga:i dagumui lai gebo da mano lama:ne hamonoba, e da ifa hamoi ilia ba:ma:ne hano ofodo gadenene ligisisu.Whenever the stronger females of the flock were in heat, Jacob would place the branches in the troughs, in full view of the animals, so that they would breed in front of the branches.

42Be gasa hame lai gebo da mano lama:ne hamonanoba, e da ifa hame ligisisu. Amalalu, La:iba:ne ea lai gebo da gasa hame ba:i. Be Ya:igobe ea lai gebo huluane da gasa bagade dagumui ba:i.But if the animals were weak, he did not set out the branches. So the weaker animals went to Laban and the stronger ones to Jacob.

43Amalalu, Ya:igobe da bagade gagui dunu agoane ba:i. E da sibi gilisisu bagohame, udigili hawa: hamosu dunu, ga:mele, lai gebo, sibi, amola dougi bagohame gagui galu.Thus Jacob became exceedingly prosperous. He owned large flocks, maidservants and menservants, and camels and donkeys.
