Genesis 30 (LGA)

1Totonai i Resolo sa batia sake vapore vania na koburu si Jekopi, poni sa sa konoa sa na tugana rereko. Ko pira saunia si Jekopi, Kei! <<Mu vaporenisiu na koburu, minake vei sa kode mana matequa,>> sau.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.

2Poni sa tagigirinia i Jekopi si Resolo ko pira saunia, <<Ara sa na Tamasa isa sa aru mulenia tamu na vuana na iapa?>> sau.Jacob became angry with Rachel and said, “Am I in the place of God, who has withheld children from you?”

3Poni pira sau si Resolo, <<Ego vei, ina ropi i Biliha na qua nabulu rereko. Mu tome nagoa ko mi boka vapodo vanisiu na koburu ko ara mana boka roitinia kai tatamana,>> saunia.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.”

4Ko sa vania ko mi maqotana i Jekopi si Biliha nona nabulu rereko. Ko sa tome nagoa i Jekopi sisa,So Rachel gave Jacob her servant Bilhah as a wife, and he slept with her,

5ko sa bogata sisa ko sa vapodo vania kai tuna marene si Jekopi.and Bilhah conceived and bore him a son.

6Poni pira sau si Resolo, Na Tamasa sa pitu ruvatasiu beto sa nongoria tugu vei na ovovelequ ko sa vanisiu kai koburu marene, sau. Ko sa vei sa sa vaisongonia i Resolo i Dani sisa.Then Rachel said, “God has vindicated me; He has heard my plea and given me a son.” So she named him Dan.

7Beto sa kai bogata ligu mule si Biliha na nabulu rereko tai Resolo ko sa vapodoa vania i Jekopi na vinarua marene.And Rachel’s servant Bilhah conceived again and bore Jacob a second son.

8Poni pira sau si Resolo, <<Na vaitoregasa tai Tamasa sa qa toregasania na tugaqu ara ko kopira qa lenonia ara,>> sau. Ko sa vei sa sa vaisongonia i Naputali isa sisa.Then Rachel said, “In my great struggles, I have wrestled with my sister and won.” So she named him Naphtali.

9Totonai sa batia i Lia sa nogoto teku koburu sisa, sa tekua si Zilipa nona nabulu rereko ko sa vania isa si Jekopi ko mi maqotana saunia.When Leah saw that she had stopped having children, she gave her servant Zilpah to Jacob as a wife.

10Poni sa i Zilipa na nabulu rereko tai Lia sa vapore vania kai tuna marene si Jekopi.And Leah’s servant Zilpah bore Jacob a son.

11Poni sa pira sau si Lia, <<Beko vavagua jola mutu,>> sau. Ko sa vei sa sa vaisongonia i Qadi isa sisa.Then Leah said, “How fortunate!” So she named him Gad.

12Ego beto sa, i Zilipa na nabulu rereko tai Lia sa vapodo vania mule na marene vinarua si Jekopi.When Leah’s servant Zilpah bore Jacob a second son,

13Poni sa pira sau si Lia, <<Qa qera vivitigi sara ko ira na rereko kode mai kukunisiu Qera,>> sau sisa. Ko sa vei sa sa vaisongonia i Asa isa sisa.Leah said, “How happy I am! For the women call me happy.” So she named him Asher.

14Pa totoso abu vakamu vuiti, sa i Rubeni sa batiria sa kaki buburu roro pa inuma ko sa pogoso kamu vania i Lia na tinana. Poni sa pira saunia i Resolo si Lia, <<Bu vanisiu kaki buburu roro sa tekuria na tumu marene,>> saunia.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.”

15Sa pira sau si Lia, Ago! <<Qu tei teku variunisiu tu sa na marenequ. Ko kopira muna teku variunia mutu sa na buburu roro tana tuqu marene?>> sau. Poni pira sau si Resolo, <<Ego vei sa isa mi puta tavitigo ao kode bongi na lipuna na buburu roro tana tumu marene,>> sau sisa.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.”

16Ko totonai sa tome lame si Jekopi koko pa mumuqu na vevelu poni, sa votu lao si Lia ko sa gosoria sisa beto pira saunia, <<Ara sa muna puta tavitisiu ao.>> Sau sisa. <<Ura qa tei tabaranigo tu na buburu roro tana tuqu marene ara sao,>> sau. Ko na bongina sa i Jekopi sa puta tavitia si Lia.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.

17Ego sa nongoria na Tamasa sa na nyorogua tai Lia ko sa bogata sisa ko sa vapore vania na tuna marene vinalima si Jekopi.And God listened to Leah, and she conceived and bore a fifth son to Jacob.

18Poni sa pira sau si Lia, <<Na Tamasa sa vanisiu na tabaraqu na laena qa vania na qua nabulu rereko sa na marenequ, sau>> sisa. Ko sa vei sa sa vaisongonia i Isika isa sisa.Then Leah said, “God has rewarded me for giving my maidservant to my husband.” So she named him Issachar.

19Ego sa bogata soga mule si Lia ko sa vapodoa vania na tuna marene vinavonomo si Jekopi.Again Leah conceived and bore a sixth son to Jacob.

20Poni sa pira sau si Lia, <<Na Tamasa sa vanisiu kai vaivana poreveveina. Kopira alepi na marenequ sa kode mina valavatasiu, ura qa vapore vania ka vonomo marene,>> sau sisa. Ko sa vei sa sa vaisongonia i Zebuluni isa sisa.“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.

21Pa liguna lao poni sa vapodoa kai tuna rereko si Lia ko sa vaisongonia i Dina.After that, Leah gave birth to a daughter and named her Dinah.

22Ego sa roqu kamua na Tamasa si Resolo, beto sa nongoria na Tamasa sisa ko sa revangia sa na iapana.Then God remembered Rachel. He listened to her and opened her womb,

23Ko sa bogata ko sa vapodoa i sa sa kai tuna marene beto pira sau, <<Na Tamasa sa teku pale na qua kea,>> sau sisa.and she conceived and gave birth to a son. “God has taken away my shame,” she said.

24Sa vaisongonia i Josepa sisa, beto pira sau, I Iahova mi tamo vanisiu mule kai tuqu marene, sau.She named him Joseph, and said, “May the LORD add to me another son.”

25Pa liguna i Resolo sa vapodoa si Josepa, sa pira saunia i Jekopi si Labani, <<Ai vei bu vamalumusiu ko ba boka mule lao pa qua ia beto pa qua peso.Now after Rachel had given birth to Joseph, Jacob said to Laban, “Send me on my way so I can return to my homeland.

26Mu vanisiu karu maqotaqu beto ira na qua koburu ira qa roiti tale vanigo ko ma taloa riu,. Ura qu gigilaimua ao sa na roiti qa roiti vanigo ara,>> sau.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.”

27Poni pira saunia i Labani sisa, <<Vei bu qeranisiu ara sao, sa bu suvere qau. Qa batia pa vinagila ara sa, i Iahova sa mananisiu ara pa laemu gu ao,>> saunia.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.”

28Beto pira sau, <<Mu pojanisiu na tabaramu ko ma vanigo ara,>> sau.And he added, “Name your wages, and I will pay them.”

29Beto pira saunia i Jekopi sisa, <<Qu gigilaimua ao sa ai qa roiti veini vanigo ara sao beto ai qa vasoku veini vanigo ara sira na mua papausu.Then Jacob answered, “You know how I have served you and how your livestock have thrived under my care.

30Ura ka vivisa qu isongia ao tonai qa oqoro kamu ara lani sa kopira qai vovonu vasoku, beto i Iahova sa mananigo sao pai ketakoi sa tete na nenequ ara ko kopira ai totoso mana boka roiti vania na qua tatamana sara?>> sau sisa.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?”

31Poni pira sau si Labani, <<Na sa sa mana vanigo ao?>> sau. Sa oe si Jekopi, pira sau, <<Munake vanisiu tu kai sa.>> <<Goto isa ma tepanigo ara ao kopira sa mu roiti vanisiu, ko ara ma kole tugu dodogororia beto kopuniria ara sa na gogodo sipi tamu.“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.

32Mu vamalumusiu ko pa ngeni alepi, ba lekogo doro betoria ara sa doru gogodo sipi tamu beto ko ba pikata varijoria sira doru sipi qai kikirikoti babi tototu, doru tuni sipi kukudedi beto doru qoti qai tototu babi kikirikoti. Mi isa gu sa na tabaraqu ara.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.

33Na tuvisi taqu pa ngeni sa mina ule tokanisiu vuka risa totonai muna lao kamuria ao sira vei qu tabaranisiu. Ira doru qoti vei qaike kikirikoti babi tototu beto na tuni sipi qaike kukude taqu sa muna doro veiniria na taikodi gu sira,>> sau sisa.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.”

34Poni pira sau si Labani, <<Vavagua!>> <<Mi vei isa qu pojai ao,>> sau.“Agreed,” said Laban. “Let it be as you have said.”

35Pa ranena tugu isa sa varijoria i Labani sa doru qoti marene qai gagasi babi qai tototu beto doru qoti rereko kikirikoti babi qai tototu (doru kekekadi) beto doru tuni sipi kukudedi beto ko sa vakopuniria ira na tuna marene.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.

36Beto sa vakole vaipikatainiria padana kue rane lelekogo sa mekana beto i Jekopi beto ko i Jekopi sa kole dogoro kopuniria sa doru sipi kole joladi tai Labani.Then he put a three-day journey between himself and Jacob, while Jacob was shepherding the rest of Laban’s flocks.

37Ba i Jekopi sa likoto tekuria sa na kae gou popola; na gou alimodi, na gou peleni beto sa lida gasi vagigilaria sa na kopodi na kae gou ko totonai sa dosi teku pale na kopodi poni sa sa votu sa na kekana na gou.Jacob, however, took fresh branches of poplar, almond, and plane trees, and peeled the bark, exposing the white inner wood of the branches.

38Beto sa vakoleniria pa leona na ia bubukudi tadira na sipi sira na kae gou tadosidi pa ia vei qai lame buku poni sa qai bata tariria sosoto sau. Ko totonai qai korapa nyorogua vaipapa ko qai lao buku qarigu sa na sipi,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,

39poni sa qai vaikesa pa moedi na kae gou. Poni qai vapodoria sa na tuni sipi gagasidi beto na kikirikotidi beto na tototudi.they mated in front of the branches. And they bore young that were streaked or speckled or spotted.

40Ko i Jekopi sa pikata kaleniria sira na tuni sipi beto ira doru kole joladi sa sa vagabala lao veiniria pana sipi gagasidi beto na kukudedi tai Labani. Ko sa pikata kaleniria isa sira nona papausu ko sake vaisomanainiria pa sipi tai Labani.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.

41Tonai vei bai nyorogua vaipapa sira na sipi rereko sisibadi, poni sa i Jekopi sa gigila vakoleria sa na kae gou pa leo ia bubukuna tadira na sipi pa moedi na sipi ko qai vaikesa tata pa kaedi na gou sau,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.

42ba vei bi batiria sira na sipi mamaleidi, poni sa sake vakoleria sa na kae gou. Ko ira na sipi mamaleidi sa qai lao vei tai Labani goto ira na sisibadi sa qai lao tai Jekopi.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.

43Ko pa soana vei api sa, i Jekopi sa pururu votu ko sa kai tinoni isisongona jola ko sa isongoria soku sipi, ira na nabulu rereko, ira na nabulu marene, ira na kameli beto ira na dongiki.Thus Jacob became exceedingly prosperous. He owned large flocks, maidservants and menservants, and camels and donkeys.
