Genesis 30 (RHG)

1Rahelaye zehon deikke ze hibaye Yakubolla hono fuwain no biya, hibar boinor uwore hibattu hingša oiye. Hibaye Yakubore hodde, "Ãre fuwain do, ar no oile ãi moriyum."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.

2Henot Yakubor gušša Rahelar uwore zoli uiṭṭe edde hodde, "Ãi ki Allar zagat ne, zibaye tor udorot fól diyare ošikar goijje?"Jacob became angry with Rachel and said, “Am I in the place of God, who has withheld children from you?”

3Toi hibaye hodde, "So, otiya, ãr bandi Bilhah hibar hãse zo, zene hibaye fuwa biyai ãr kulot de, toi zene ãi hibar duwara oile ãi o ma oi fari."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.”

4Toi hibaye hibar bandi Bilhare Yakubore ek bou hisabe diye. Yakube hibar hãse giye,So Rachel gave Jacob her servant Bilhah as a wife, and he slept with her,

5edde hiba hamil oiye, ar Yakubolla ek fut biyaiye.and Bilhah conceived and bore him a son.

6Toi Rahelaye hodde, "Allaye ãr bisar goijje; hibaye ãr foriyad fuinne edde ãre ek fut diye." Hiyanor zoriya hibaye hitar nam raikke Ḍan.Then Rachel said, “God has vindicated me; He has heard my plea and given me a son.” So she named him Dan.

7Bade Rahelar bandi Bilhah abar hamil oiye edde Yakubolla dusora ek futore biyaiye.And Rachel’s servant Bilhah conceived again and bore Jacob a second son.

8Toi Rahelaye hodde, "Allar kutsi loi ãr boin loi kutsi doriyore ãi zitti." Hetolla hibaye hitar nam raikke Naftali.Then Rachel said, “In my great struggles, I have wrestled with my sister and won.” So she named him Naphtali.

9Bade Leaye dekedde hibar fuwa owa bon oigiyegoi, hibaye hibar bandi Zilpare loi Yakubore ek bou hisabe diye.When Leah saw that she had stopped having children, she gave her servant Zilpah to Jacob as a wife.

10Toi Lear bandi Zilpaye Yakubolla ek futore biyaiye.And Leah’s servant Zilpah bore Jacob a son.

11Toi Leaye hodde, "Ki baggitta!" Toi hibaye hitar nam raikke Gad.Then Leah said, “How fortunate!” So she named him Gad.

12Bade Lear bandi Zilpaye Yakubolla dusora ek futore biyaiye.When Leah’s servant Zilpah bore Jacob a second son,

13Toi Leaye hodde, "Ãi hoto šuki! kiyollahoile zobuti okkole ãre šuki hoibo." Toi hibaye hitar nam raikke Ašer.Leah said, “How happy I am! For the women call me happy.” So she named him Asher.

14Ar gĩyu dade ṭaimot Rubene maṛot giye edde hodun dudim-sara faiye, zinore hite hitar ma Leare ani diye. Rahelaye Leare hodde, "Tor futor dudim-sarattu ãre olfo desena!"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.”

15Kintu Leaye hodde, "Tui ãr zamai hari loiyosde hiyane ki no o, ne? Ãr futor dudim-saragun o loifelaibi ne ki?" Zuwabe Rahelaye hodde, "Bala, tor futor dudim-sarar bodole Yakub aijja raitta tor loi takibo."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.”

16Toi Yakub zehon hazinna maṛottu górot aišše, Leaye bare niyoli hibar hãse zai hodde, "Tũi ãr hãse aiyo, kiyollahoile ãr futor dudim-sara loi tũware bara goijji." Toi he raitta Yakube hibar loi taikke.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.

17Ar Allaye Lear foriyad fuinne, hibaye hamil oiye edde Yakubolla fãs lombor futore biyaiye.And God listened to Leah, and she conceived and bore a fifth son to Jacob.

18Toi Leaye hodde, "Ãr šuwamire ãi bandi diyide hiyanor enam Allaye ãre diye." Toi hibaye hitar nam raikke Issakar.Then Leah said, “God has rewarded me for giving my maidservant to my husband.” So she named him Issachar.

19Bade Leah abar hamil oiye, edde Yakubolla so lombor futore biyaiye.Again Leah conceived and bore a sixth son to Jacob.

20Toi Leaye hodde, "Allaye ãre barik hadiya diye. Ehon ãr šuwamiye ãre šorman dibo, kiyollahoile ãi hiballa so futore zormo diyi." Toi hibaye hitar nam raikke Sebulun.“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.

21Bade hibaye ek zerfuwa biyaiye edde hibar nam raikke Dina.After that, Leah gave birth to a daughter and named her Dinah.

22Allaye Rahelar mikka kiyal raikke; hibaye hibar foriyad fuinne edde hamil oi farefan gori diye.Then God remembered Rachel. He listened to her and opened her womb,

23Henot hiba hamil oiye edde hibaye ek futore biyaiye edde hodde, "Allaye ãr šorom loifelaye."and she conceived and gave birth to a son. “God has taken away my shame,” she said.

24Hibaye hitar nam raikke Yusuf, ar hodde, "Mabude ãre aro ek fut dok."She named him Joseph, and said, “May the LORD add to me another son.”

25Ar Rahelattu Yusuf zormo oi bade Yakube Labonore hodde, "Ãre bidai do, toi zene ãi ãr nizor dešor górot firizai fari.Now after Rachel had given birth to Joseph, Jacob said to Laban, “Send me on my way so I can return to my homeland.

26Ar ãr bouwain edde fuwain zaralla ãi tũwar gulami goijji, hitarare ãre do, toi zene ãi zai fari; kiyollahoile tũi to zano ãi tũwalla hondilla haṛoni goijji."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.”

27Toi Labone hodde, "Ãi zodi tottu doyar nozor fai taki toile meherbani gori tak, kiyollahoile ãi goni sai zani faijji ze Mabude tor zoriya ãre rahamot goijje."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.”

28Hite aro hodde, "Tore beton hodun diya foribo tui ho, ãi tore diyum."And he added, “Name your wages, and I will pay them.”

29Kintu Yakube hitare hodde, "Tũi to nize zano ãi tũwalla hondilla ham goijji, ar ãr hatot tũwar zanuwaror zãkor abosta hondilla oiye.Then Jacob answered, “You know how I have served you and how your livestock have thrived under my care.

30Kiyollahoile ãi aibar age tũwattu ze hom šombotti aššil hin beša beši barigiyegoi, edde ãr zoriya Mabude tũware rahamot goijje, kintu ãr nizor gór okkololla hõtte hamai goriyum?"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?”

31Toi Labone fusar goredde, "Ãi tore ki diyum?" Yakube hodde, "Tũi ãre kissu no diyo; ãlla zodi ekkan ham goro, toile ãi tũwar zanuwaror zãk okkolore soraiyum edde hinore saiyum:“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.

32Aijja ãi tũwar hár zanuwar okkolor mazottu di zaiyum edde hinor butottu šoṛo ḍõr fuṛawala dag asede berasool edde sool, ar hala berasoolor so okkolore aleda gorito sai. Hin oibode ãr beton.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.

33Tarfore zẽtte tũi ãre beton saibolla hazir oiba, hẽtte ãr soyiye ãr goba dibo. Toi šoṛo ḍõr fuṛawala dag naide hendilla hono berasoolor so zodi ãr zanuwaror zãkor butore fa gile, toile hin ãi suri goijji dora oibo."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.”

34Labone hodde, "Sa, toile tor hota mozin hendilla ok!"“Agreed,” said Laban. “Let it be as you have said.”

35Toi Labone hedin sitara faṛa soolgun edde dag asede faṛi sool okkol zedunor uwore dola aššil hin edde hala rongor berasool okkolore aleda goijje edde hinore hitar futaindor hãse zimma diye.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.

36Ar Labone hite edde Yakubor maze tin dinor fõtor baisa foijjonto bebedan raikke, ar Labonor baki zãk okkolore Yakube lagar sorat roiye.Then he put a three-day journey between himself and Jacob, while Jacob was shepherding the rest of Laban’s flocks.

37Bade Yakube liboni, luš edde armon gasor tottoza kẽsa ḍeila haṛi loiye edde hinor uwore sál tuliyore dag goijje, gasor ḍeila okkolor butoror dola deha zafan goriyore.Jacob, however, took fresh branches of poplar, almond, and plane trees, and peeled the bark, exposing the white inner wood of the branches.

38Toi hibaye he sál tuilla ḍeilagunore zanuwaror zãke fani fiyede zaga okkolot raikke, toi zene zãk okkol fani fito aile hin okkol šuza sarme fore. Zanuwar okkole fani fito aitode šomot zur zaito.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,

39Ar hine ḍeilagunor sarme zur zaito, edde hine ze so okkol biyaito, hin sitara, ar no oile ḍõr otóba šoṛo dagwala oito.they mated in front of the branches. And they bore young that were streaked or speckled or spotted.

40Yakube soolor so edde berasoolor so okkolore aleda gori rakito, kintu faṛi sool okkolore Labonor boitta sitara edde hala sool okkolor mikka muk firabaito. Ebafe Yakube hiba nizolla ek soolor zãk gori felaiye, edde hinore Labonor zanuwaror zãk loi no miyaito.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.

41Ar beši šoktiwala zanuwargune zene ḍeilar ḍake zur za, hiyanolla buli fani fiyede zagat maze zanuwar okkolor sarme he ḍeila okkol rakito,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.

42kintu leṛa zanuwar okkol oile sarme no rakito. Henot leṛa zanuwar okkol Labonor, ar šoktiwala zanuwar okkol Yakubor oito.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.

43Ar ei bafe Yakub kub beši tuwangor oiye edde hibattu zanuwar edde gulam bandi edde ũṭ gada beši oiye.Thus Jacob became exceedingly prosperous. He owned large flocks, maidservants and menservants, and camels and donkeys.
