Genesis 29 (CEBOCB)

1Nagpadayon si Jacob sa iyang lakaw hangtod nga nakaabot siya sa yuta sa mga taga-sidlakan.Jacob resumed his journey and came to the land of the people of the east.

2Ug didto sa hawanan aduna siyay nakitang usa ka atabay. Sa tapad niini adunay naglubog nga tulo ka panon sa mga karnero, kay didto ang kuhaanan sa mga tawo ug tubig nga ipainom sa mga karnero. Gitabonan kini nga atabay ug dakong bato.He looked and saw a well in the field, and near it lay three flocks of sheep, because the sheep were watered from this well. And a large stone covered the mouth of the well.

3Hulaton una sa mga magbalantay sa karnero nga matigom ang tanang mga karnero ayha nila ligiron ang gitabon nga bato. Pagkahuman nila ug painom sa mga karnero, ibalik na usab nila pagtabon ang bato.When all the flocks had been gathered there, the shepherds would roll away the stone from the mouth of the well and water the sheep. Then they would return the stone to its place over the mouth of the well.

4Unya, nangutana si Jacob sa mga magbalantay sa karnero, “Mga higala, taga-asa kamo?” Mitubag sila, “Taga-Haran.”“My brothers,” Jacob asked the shepherds, “where are you from?” “We are from Haran,” they answered.

5Nangutana si Jacob, “Nakaila ba kamo kang Laban nga apo ni Nahor?” Mitubag sila, “Oo, nakaila kami kaniya.”“Do you know Laban the grandson of Nahor?” Jacob asked. “We know him,” they replied.

6Nagpadayon sa pagpangutana si Jacob, “Kumusta siya?” Mitubag sila, “Maayo man. Tan-awa, anaa ang iyang anak nga si Raquel, nagpadulong dinhi uban sa mga karnero.”“Is he well?” Jacob inquired. “Yes,” they answered, “and here comes his daughter Rachel with his sheep.”

7Miingon si Jacob kanila, “Tungod kay sayo pa man ug dili pa panahon sa pagtigom sa mga karnero, maayo tingali nga paimnon ninyo sila ug pasab-sabon pag-usab.”“Look,” said Jacob, “it is still broad daylight; it is not yet time to gather the livestock. Water the sheep and take them back to pasture.”

8Mitubag sila, “Dili namo kana mahimo kon dili matigom ang tanang mga karnero. Kon ania na ang tanan, ligiron na namo ang tabon nga bato ug paimnon sila.”But they replied, “We cannot, until all the flocks have been gathered and the stone has been rolled away from the mouth of the well. Then we will water the sheep.”

9Nakigsulti pa si Jacob kanila sa dihang miabot si Raquel uban sa mga karnero sa iyang amahan, kay siya man ang nagbantay niini.While he was still speaking with them, Rachel arrived with her father’s sheep, for she was a shepherdess.

10Pagkakita ni Jacob kang Raquel uban sa mga karnero sa iyang uyoan nga si Laban, miadto siya sa atabay, ug giligid niya ang bato ug gipainom ang mga karnero.As soon as Jacob saw Rachel, the daughter of his mother’s brother Laban, with Laban’s sheep, he went up and rolled the stone away from the mouth of the well and watered his uncle’s sheep.

11Pagkahuman, gihagkan ni Jacob si Raquel ug mihilak siya sa kalipay.Then Jacob kissed Rachel and wept aloud.

12Miingon siya kang Raquel nga paryente siya sa iyang amahan ug anak ni Rebeka. Mao nga midagan si Raquel pauli ug gisuginlan niya ang iyang amahan.He told Rachel that he was Rebekah’s son, a relative of her father, and she ran and told her father.

13Pagkadungog ni Laban sa balita bahin kang Jacob nga iyang pag-umangkon kang Rebeka, midagan siya sa pagtagbo kaniya. Gigakos niya si Jacob ug gihagkan, ug gidala sa ilang balay. Ug didto gisugilon ni Jacob kang Laban ang tanan nga nahitabo.When Laban heard the news about his sister’s son Jacob, he ran out to meet him. He embraced him and kissed him and brought him to his home, where Jacob told him all that had happened.

14Miingon si Laban kaniya, “Tinuod gayod nga kadugo ka nako.” Paglabay sa usa ka bulan nga pagpuyo ni Jacob uban kanila ni Laban,Then Laban declared, “You are indeed my own flesh and blood.” After Jacob had stayed with him a month,

15miingon si Laban kaniya, “Dili maayo nga magtrabaho ka alang kanako nga walay suhol tungod lang kay pag-umangkon ka nako. Sultihi ako kon unsa ang gusto mo nga isuhol ko kanimo.”Laban said to him, “Just because you are my relative, should you work for nothing? Tell me what your wages should be.”

16Adunay duha ka anak si Laban nga dalaga. Si Lea ang magulang ug si Raquel ang manghod.Now Laban had two daughters; the older was named Leah, and the younger was named Rachel.

17Nindot ug mata si Lea, apan matahom ug nindot ug lawas si Raquel.Leah had weak eyes, but Rachel was shapely and beautiful.

18Tungod kay nahigugma si Jacob kang Raquel, miingon siya kang Laban, “Moalagad ako kanimo ug pito ka tuig kon ipaminyo mo kanako si Raquel.”Since Jacob loved Rachel, he answered, “I will serve you seven years for your younger daughter Rachel.”

19Mitubag si Laban, “Mas maayo pa nga ipaminyo ko siya kanimo kay sa lain nga lalaki. Pabilin dinhi uban kanako.”Laban replied, “Better that I give her to you than to another. Stay here with me.”

20Busa mialagad si Jacob kang Laban ug pito ka tuig aron mapangasawa niya si Raquel. Tungod sa iyang paghigugma kang Raquel murag pila lang ka adlaw alang kaniya ang pito ka tuig.So Jacob served seven years for Rachel, yet it seemed but a few days because of his love for her.

21Paglabay sa pito ka tuig, miingon si Jacob kang Laban, “Nahuman na ang panahon sa akong pag-alagad kanimo, busa ihatag na kanako si Raquel aron mag-ipon na kami.”Finally Jacob said to Laban, “Grant me my wife, for my time is complete, and I want to sleep with her.”

22Ug misugot si Laban, busa nagpakombira si Laban ug giimbitar niya ang tanang mga tawo niadtong dapita.So Laban invited all the men of that place and prepared a feast.

23Apan pagkagabii, si Lea ang gidala ni Laban ngadto kang Jacob ug dili si Raquel. Ug nakigdulog si Jacob kang Lea.But when evening came, Laban took his daughter Leah and gave her to Jacob, and he slept with her.

24(Gihatag ni Laban kang Lea ang iyang sulugoon nga babaye nga si Zilpa aron mahimong sulugoon ni Lea.)And Laban gave his servant girl Zilpah to his daughter Leah as her maidservant.

25Pagkabuntag, nahibaloan ni Jacob nga si Lea diay ang iyang gikadulog. Busa giadtoan niya si Laban ug giingnan, “Nganong gibuhat mo kini kanako? Nangalagad ako kanimo aron mapangasawa ko si Raquel. Nganong gilimbongan mo man ako?”When morning came, there was Leah! “What have you done to me?” Jacob said to Laban. “Wasn’t it for Rachel that I served you? Why have you deceived me?”

26Mitubag si Laban, “Wala mabatasan dinhi sa among dapit nga mouna ug minyo ang manghod sa magulang.Laban replied, “It is not our custom here to give the younger daughter in marriage before the older.

27Hulata lang nga mahuman ang usa ka semana nga pagsaulog niining kasal kay ipaminyo ko usab kanimo si Raquel, kana kon moalagad ka kanako pag-usab ug laing pito ka tuig.”Finish this week’s celebration, and we will give you the younger one in return for another seven years of work.”

28Misugot si Jacob sa giingon ni Laban. Pagkahuman sa usa ka semana nga pagsaulog sa ilang kasal ni Lea, gipaminyo ni Laban si Raquel kaniya.And Jacob did just that. He finished the week’s celebration, and Laban gave him his daughter Rachel as his wife.

29(Gihatag ni Laban kang Raquel ang iyang sulugoon nga babaye nga si Bilha aron mahimong sulugoon ni Raquel.)Laban also gave his servant girl Bilhah to his daughter Rachel as her maidservant.

30Busa nakigdulog usab si Jacob kang Raquel. Mas gimahal niya si Raquel kay kang Lea. Unya nangalagad si Jacob kang Laban ug laing pito ka tuig.Jacob slept with Rachel as well, and indeed, he loved Rachel more than Leah. So he worked for Laban another seven years.

31Nakita sa Ginoo nga wala higugmaa ni Jacob si Lea, busa gihatagan niya ug anak si Lea, apan si Raquel walay anak.When the LORD saw that Leah was unloved, He opened her womb; but Rachel was barren.

32Namabdos si Lea ug nanganak ug lalaki ug ginganlan niya kini ug Ruben, kay miingon siya, “Nakita sa Ginoo ang akong pag-antos, ug sigurado nga higugmaon na ako sa akong bana karon.”And Leah conceived and gave birth to a son, and she named him Reuben, for she said, “The LORD has seen my affliction. Surely my husband will love me now.”

33Namabdos siya pag-usab ug nanganak ug usa ka lalaki. Miingon siya, “Gihatagan ako pag-usab sa Ginoo ug usa ka anak nga lalaki kay nakadungog siya nga wala ako higugmaa sa akong bana.” Busa ginganlan niya ang bata ug Simeon.Again she conceived and gave birth to a son, and she said, “Because the LORD has heard that I am unloved, He has given me this son as well.” So she named him Simeon.

34Namabdos pag-usab si Lea ug nanganak ug usa pa gayod ka lalaki. Miingon siya, “Karon higugmaon na gayod ako sa akong bana kay tulo na ang among anak nga lalaki.” Busa ginganlan niya ang bata ug Levi.Once again Leah conceived and gave birth to a son, and she said, “Now at last my husband will become attached to me, because I have borne him three sons.” So he was named Levi.

35Namabdos pa gayod pag-usab si Lea ug nanganak ug usa na usab ka lalaki. Miingon siya, “Karon dayegon ko ang Ginoo.” Busa ginganlan niya ang bata ug Juda. Human niadto, miundang siya pagpanganak.And once more she conceived and gave birth to a son and said, “This time I will praise the LORD.” So she named him Judah. Then Leah stopped having children.
