Genesis 29 (WLO)

1Sapadhana sumai Yakub abhosemo minaaka iwe sumai tee alingka i Tana Mesopotamia, i weta i timbuna Kanaan, o lipuna inana.Jacob resumed his journey and came to the land of the people of the east.

2Wakutuuna incia akamakamata kadhaangia i saripina, akamatamo dhaangia saangu sumu i tana mokorumpu. I saripina sumu sumai dhaangia talu gulumana bhembe dumba tangasaana apotidhole, roonamo minaaka iwe sumaimo mia kananeana adhawu sumpu kadhambaakana. Dhaangia saangu bhatu maoge motutubhina ngangana sumu sumai.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.

3Ande bhari-bharia gulumana kadhambaaka padhamo aromusakea iwe sumai, sumaimo manga mojaganina kadhambaaka bheapadhole bhatu sumai minaaka i ngangana sumu kasiimpo adhawua asumpu gulumana bhembe dumbana manga. Sapadhana sumai, bhatu bheapambulimea uka i ngangana sumu sumai.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.

4Yakub aabhamo i manga mia incia sumai, "Manga witinaiku minaaka iapai ingkomiu sii?" Lawanimo manga incia, "Ingkami sii taminaaka i Haran."“My brothers,” Jacob asked the shepherds, “where are you from?” “We are from Haran,” they answered.

5Yakub aabha uka i manga incia, "Buaka ingkomiu umataua o Laban, opuana Nahor? "Alawanimo manga incia, "Tamataua."“Do you know Laban the grandson of Nahor?” Jacob asked. “We know him,” they replied.

6Yakub aabhamo uka i manga incia, "Amalape buaka kadhaangiana?" Lawanina manga incia, "Amalape! Kamatea, kabuabua moumbana mowuluna bhembe dumbana sumaimo Rahel, o anana Laban!"“Is he well?” Jacob inquired. “Yes,” they answered, “and here comes his daughter Rachel with his sheep.”

7Apogaumo Yakub, "O eo indapo akonowia, indapo wakutuuna manga kadhambaakamiu uwulua ambuli i kanda. Jadi, dhawua asumpu bhembe dumba sumai, kasiimpomo uwulua pendua to apeelo kinandena."“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.”

8Maka alawanimo manga incia, "Inda. Ingkami inda amembali tadhawua asumpu bhembe dumba ande indapo bhari-bharia gulumana kadhambaaka aporomusaka. Kasiimpo atopadholemo bhatu minaaka i ngangana sumu tee tadhawumea asumpu kadhambaakamami."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.”

9Tangasaana manga incia apogau, aumbamo Rahel abhawa bhembe dumbana amana, roonamo incia mojaganina.While he was still speaking with them, Rachel arrived with her father’s sheep, for she was a shepherdess.

10Yakub akamata Rahel, anana Laban o witinaina inana, awulu bhembe dumbana amana. Incia apekakasumo i Rahel, kasiimpo apadholemea bhatu minaaka i ngangana sumu sumai, tee adhawumo asumpu bhembe dumbana sumai.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.

11Sapadhana sumai, incia aikimo Rahel tee atangi tee suara makaa.Then Jacob kissed Rachel and wept aloud.

12Yakub apaumbamo Rahel ande incia o anana Ribka, witinaina amana. Saanampuu abuntulimo Rahel apaumba amana.He told Rachel that he was Rebekah’s son, a relative of her father, and she ran and told her father.

13Sarangona lelena Yakub, pinoanana, sanampuu Laban abuntulimo apokawaakea, asakua tee aikia, kasiimpo abhawea apesua i bhanuana. Yakub apetulatulaakamo bhari-bharia hali momembalina to karona i Laban.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.

14Pogaumo Laban i incia, "Satotuuna ingkoo sadagi saraa tee iaku." Sumaimo, ambooremo Yakub tee incia sambula kangengena.Then Laban declared, “You are indeed my own flesh and blood.” After Jacob had stayed with him a month,

15Kasiimpomo apogaumo Laban i Yakub "Inda apesua akala ande ukarajaa i iaku inda tee ponambo soomo rampaakana ingkoo anana witinaiku. Paumbaakaaku opea molaengana to ponambomu."Laban said to him, “Just because you are my relative, should you work for nothing? Tell me what your wages should be.”

16Laban dhaangia rua mia anana bhawine; o tumpe sarona Lea tee kaepu sarona Rahel.Now Laban had two daughters; the older was named Leah, and the younger was named Rachel.

17Lea akomata makesa, maka Rahel sumai amangada poningkarona tee amakesa rouna.Leah had weak eyes, but Rachel was shapely and beautiful.

18Yakub asintai Rahel, sababuna sumai incia apogau, "Kupeelu kukarajaa to ingkoo pitu tao kangengena to kupotibhaaka Rahel, ana kaepumu sumai."Since Jacob loved Rachel, he answered, “I will serve you seven years for your younger daughter Rachel.”

19Alawanimo Laban, "Salabhina kudhawuaka incia to ingkoo tee aalea mia mosagaanana. Mbooremo tee iaku."Laban replied, “Better that I give her to you than to another. Stay here with me.”

20Kasiimpomo akarajaamo Yakub pitu tao kangengena to Rahel. Maka pitu tao sumai anamisia kabilanga pia-pia eomea rampaakanamo incia asintai Rahel sumai.So Jacob served seven years for Rachel, yet it seemed but a few days because of his love for her.

21Sapadhana sumai apogaumo Yakub i Laban, "Dhawuakaaku momembalina bhawineku sumai, sababuna henggana wakutuuku akawamo, mamudhaakana iaku bhekukawi tee incia."Finally Jacob said to Laban, “Grant me my wife, for my time is complete, and I want to sleep with her.”

22Kasiimpomo Laban akembamo bhari-bharia mia i tampa incia sumai, tee apadhaangia kariaa kawia.So Laban invited all the men of that place and prepared a feast.

23Maka wakutuuna malo sumai, Laban aalamo Lea, ana tumpena, mencuana Rahel, kasiimpomo abhawamea i Yakub. Sabutuna, Yakub uka aposaangumo tee incia.But when evening came, Laban took his daughter Leah and gave her to Jacob, and he slept with her.

24Laban adhawuaka uka samia bhatuana bhawine o sarona Zilpa i Lea to apamembalia bhatuana.And Laban gave his servant girl Zilpah to his daughter Leah as her maidservant.

25Maka wakutuuna saeona atiumbamo, garaaka bhawine ikawiakana o Lea, mencuana Rahel! Kasiimpo apogaumo Yakub i Laban, "Opea ipewaumu to iaku sii? Mboona to kupotibhaaka Rahel iaku kukarajaa to ingkoo? Pokia ingkoo ugau-gauaku?"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?”

26Alawanimo Laban, "Mencuana kananeana mia i tampamami apewau mboo sii: apakawi andina porikana kasiimpo akana.Laban replied, “It is not our custom here to give the younger daughter in marriage before the older.

27Pamondoa porikana pitu eo kawiamu tee anaku sii. Sapadhana pitu eo sumai, bhekudhawuakako anaku samiana to ponambomu, somanamo ingkoo ukarajaa pitu taopo uka."Finish this week’s celebration, and we will give you the younger one in return for another seven years of work.”

28Sumaimo Yakub apewau mboo sumai; incia apamondoa pitu eo kawiana tee Lea, kasiimpomo Laban adhawuaka Rahel, o ana kaepuna sumai, i incia to apamembalia bhawinena.And Jacob did just that. He finished the week’s celebration, and Laban gave him his daughter Rachel as his wife.

29Laban adhawuaka uka samia bhatuana bhawine o sarona Bilha i Rahel to apamembalia bhatuana.Laban also gave his servant girl Bilhah to his daughter Rachel as her maidservant.

30Yakub aposaangu tee Rahel uka, tee incia alabhi asintai Rahel minaaka i Lea. Mboomo sumai incia akarajaa uka i Laban pitu taopo uka.Jacob slept with Rachel as well, and indeed, he loved Rachel more than Leah. So he worked for Laban another seven years.

31Wakutuuna KAWASANA OPU akamata, ande Lea inda atosintai, abungkaleakea kadhumana, maka Rahel akomba.When the LORD saw that Leah was unloved, He opened her womb; but Rachel was barren.

32Lea abhawa-bhawamo, kasiimpo apalaahirimo samia ana umane, tee asarongiakea Ruben, sababuna pogauna, "Satotuuna, KAWASANA OPU padhamo akamata kanarakaaku; sii-sii tantumo iaku bheasintaiaku umaneku."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.”

33Abhawa-bhawamo uka incia, kasiimpomo apalaahirimo samia anaana umane, sumaimo incia apogau, "Satotuuna, KAWASANA OPU padhamo arangoa, ande iaku inda kusintaia, kasiimpo adhawuakamea uka ana sii i iaku." Sumaimo incia asarongiakea anana sumai 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.

34Abhawa-bhawamo uka incia, kasiimpo apalaahirimo samia ana umane, maka incia apogau, "Sii-sii incana umaneku bheatobhoke tee iaku, roonamo iaku padhamo kupalaahiri talu mia anana umane to incia." Sumaimo sababuna incia asarongiakea anana sumai Lewi.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.

35Abhawa-bhawamo uka incia, kasiimpo apalaahirimo samia anana umane, sumaimo incia apogau, "Sampearo sii bhekupuji i KAWASANA OPU." Siitumo sababuna incia asarongiakea anana sumai Yuda. Sapadhana incia sumai incia indamo apalaahiri uka.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.
