Genesis 30 (WLO)

1Wakutuuna Rahel akamata ande incia inda apalaahiri anaana to Yakub, akaura-uramo incia tee akana, kasiimpo apogau i Yakub, "Dhawuakaaku anaana; ande inda, taroakaakumo kumate."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.

2Sumaimo Yakub aʼamaramo i Rahel onina, "Iaku sii buaka Aulataʼala mojoliko ubhawa-bhawa?"Jacob became angry with Rachel and said, “Am I in the place of God, who has withheld children from you?”

3Pogaumo Rahel, "Siimo Bilha, bhatuaku. Kawiakea mamudhaakana apalaahiri anana kabholosiku mamudhaakana iaku uka amembali kukoana alaloi incia."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.”

4Sumaimo, apasarakaakamo Bilha, bhatuana, i Yakub to apamembalia bhawinena. Yakub uka aporomuakamea.So Rachel gave Jacob her servant Bilhah as a wife, and he slept with her,

5Bilha abhawa-bhawamo, kasiimpo apalaahirimo samia anana umane.and Bilhah conceived and bore him a son.

6Kasiimpomo Rahel apogaumo, "Aulataʼala apewau adili tee iaku, tee aperangoimea iemaniku tee adhawuakaakumo samia anana umane." Sababuna sumai incia asarongiakea anaana sumai Dan.Then Rachel said, “God has vindicated me; He has heard my plea and given me a son.” So she named him Dan.

7Kasiimpomo Bilha, bhawine bhatuana Rahel sumai, abhawa-bhawamo pendua tee apalaahirimo to Yakub anaana umane katutunina tumpe.And Rachel’s servant Bilhah conceived again and bore Jacob a second son.

8Apogaumo Rahel, "Iaku kuposaingimo mpuu tee akaku, tee iakumo mokanana." Sumaimo incia asarongiakea anana sumai Naftali.Then Rachel said, “In my great struggles, I have wrestled with my sister and won.” So she named him Naphtali.

9Wakutuuna Lea akamatea ande incia indamo apalaahiri anana, abhawamo Zilpa, bhatuana, kasiimpomo apasarakaakamea i Yakub apamembalia bhawinena.When Leah saw that she had stopped having children, she gave her servant Zilpah to Jacob as a wife.

10Kasiimpomo Zilpa, bhatuana Lea sumai, apalaahiri samia anana umane to Yakub.And Leah’s servant Zilpah bore Jacob a son.

11Apogaumo Lea: "Kukodhawua mpuu!" Sababuna sumai incia asarongiakea anana sumai Gad.Then Leah said, “How fortunate!” So she named him Gad.

12Zilpa, bhawine bhatuana Lea, apalaahirimo uka to Yakub samia anana umane katutunina tumpe.When Leah’s servant Zilpah bore Jacob a second son,

13Apogaumo Lea, "Iaku sii kumasanaamo! Tantumo manga bhawine asarongiakaaku kumasanaamo." Sababuna incia asarongiakea anana sumai Asyer.Leah said, “How happy I am! For the women call me happy.” So she named him Asher.

14Saangu wakutuu i bulaana timpuana gandum, Ruben alingka akambeli-mbeli. Incia apotibhaaka manga bhakena dudaim i inawu, kasiimpo abhawamea i Lea, inana. Apogaumo Rahel i Lea, "Dhawuakaaku pia-pia angu bhakena dudaim pewauana o anamu sumai.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.”

15Alawanimo Lea i incia, "Indapo akawa buaka to ingkoo uala umaneku, sanampuu ingkoo upeelu ualamo uka bhakena dudaimna anaku?" Apogaumo Rahel, "Malapemo, taroakamo incia akole tee ingkoo malo sii to kabholosina bhakena dudaimna anamu sumai."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.”

16Tobhele eo, wakutuuna Yakub ambuli minaaka i inawu, alimbamo Lea apepagoa tee apogau, "Ingkoo tabeana usii i iaku, roonamo padhamo kusewako tee bhakena dudaimna anaku." Sababuna, akolemo Yakub tee incia i malo incia sumai.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.

17Aulataʼala aperangoia Lea, sabutuna incia abhawa-bhawamo tee apalaahirimo anana umane lima miana to Yakub.And God listened to Leah, and she conceived and bore a fifth son to Jacob.

18Apogaumo Lea, "Aulataʼala padhamo adhawuaku ponamboku, roonamo iaku padhamo kupasaraakaakea bhatuaku i umaneku." Sababuna, incia asarongiakea anana sumai Isakhar.Then Leah said, “God has rewarded me for giving my maidservant to my husband.” So she named him Issachar.

19Kasiimpomo Lea abhawa-bhawamo uka tee apalaahirimo anana umane namamiana to Yakub.Again Leah conceived and bore a sixth son to Jacob.

20Lea apogaumo, "Aulataʼala padhamo adhawuakaaku kadhawu momalape. Tantumo sii-sii umaneku bheaharagaangiaku, roonamo padhamo kupalaahiri nama mia anana umane to incia." Sababuna, incia asarongia anana sumai Zebulon.“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.

21Sapadhana incia sumai, incia apalaahirimo samia anana bhawine tee asarongiakea anana sumai Dina.After that, Leah gave birth to a daughter and named her Dinah.

22Kasiimpomo Aulataʼala audhani Rahel; Incia arangomea iemanina tee abungkaleakamea kadhumana.Then God remembered Rachel. He listened to her and opened her womb,

23Sabutuna abhawa-bhawamo Rahel tee apalaahirimo samia anana umane. Apogaumo incia, "Aulataʼala padhamo ahapusu kaeaku."and she conceived and gave birth to a son. “God has taken away my shame,” she said.

24Sumaimo incia asarongiakea anana sumai Yusuf, apoose apogau, "Sio-siomo KAWASANA OPU aranganiaku samiapo uka anana umane."She named him Joseph, and said, “May the LORD add to me another son.”

25Sapadhana Rahel apalaahiri Yusuf, apogaumo Yakub i Laban, "Undaakaaku kulingka, mamudhaakana kumbuli i lipuku, i tampa laahiriaku.Now after Rachel had given birth to Joseph, Jacob said to Laban, “Send me on my way so I can return to my homeland.

26Dhawuakaakumo manga bhawineku tee manga anaku, momembalina ponamboku i Pinoama, tee taroakaakumo kulingka. Pinoama umataua karomu tuaapa iaku padhamo kukarajaa to ingkoo."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.”

27Maka o Laban alawania, "Ande ingkoo upeelu ususuaka kaasimu to iaku, mbooremo iwe sii! Padhamo kumataua minaaka i pekilala, ande KAWASANA OPU abarakatiaku rampaakanamo ingkoo."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.”

28Pogauna uka, "Totapuakea saopea ponambomu, iaku bhekudhawuakako."And he added, “Name your wages, and I will pay them.”

29Alawanimo Yakub i incia, "Ingkoo samia umataua tuaapa kukarajaa to ingkoo, tee tuaapa kadhaangiana kadhambaakamu ijaganiku,Then Jacob answered, “You know how I have served you and how your livestock have thrived under my care.

30sababuna saidhemea kabharina pewauamu wakutuuna indapo kuumba, maka sii-sii ajulumo kabharina. KAWASANA OPU padhamo abarakati Pinoama kangengena kukarajaa iwe sii. Sii-sii, naepia kumembali kukarajaa to manga mia i bhanuaku karoku?"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?”

31Aabhamo Laban, "Opea tabeana idhawuakaku i ingkoo?" Alawanimo Yakub, "Pinoama, bholimo udhawuakaaku opeopea. Iaku sadhaadhaana kudhambaaka bhembe dumbamu tee kujagania, ande uundaakea hali incia sii to iaku:“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.

32Eo sii, bhekudhala kulaloi bhari-bharia bhembe dumbana Pinoama tee kugaatia minaaka iwe sumai sambaa-sambaa anana dumba mokotanda-tandana tee mokobhelombana; sambaa-sambaa anana dumba momaetana tee sambaa-sambaa bhembe mokobhelombana tee mokotanda-tandana. Siitumo bhemomembalina ponamboku.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.

33Tee ande mboo sumai, naile naipua Pinoama bheumembali uparikisaaia kajujuruku i nuncana halina ponamboku. Sumaimo iaku tangkanamo bhekuala momaetana tee mokowarawaranaana. Ande dhaangia binata inda mboo sumai, maʼanana padhamo kumanakoa, tee Pinoama bheumataua."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.”

34Alawanimo Laban, "Umbe, mboomo ipogauakamu itu."“Agreed,” said Laban. “Let it be as you have said.”

35Maka incia inda aose pojanjiana tee Yakub i saao. Laban alingka agaatia i eo incia sumai manga bhembe umane mokobhelombana tee mokotanda-tandana, bhari-bharia bhembe bhawine mokobhelombana tee mokotanda-tandana, siitumo bhari-bharia mokotandana maputi i badana, tee bhari-bharia dumba momaetana, kasiimpo apasaraakea bhari-bharia sumai i limana manga anana umanena.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.

36Kasiimpomo Laban apapogaa manga kadhambaakana sumai talu eo karidhona lingkaana minaaka i Yakub, sainamo Yakub ajagani manga bhembe dumbana Laban mosagaanana, sumaimo inda mokowarawaranaana tee momaputina.Then he put a three-day journey between himself and Jacob, while Jacob was shepherding the rest of Laban’s flocks.

37Kasiimpomo, Yakub aalamo manga raha maijo minaaka i puuna hawar, puuna badam, tee puuna berangan. Akulasimea sagaa kulina sampe akobhelomba maputi i manga raha sumai.Jacob, however, took fresh branches of poplar, almond, and plane trees, and peeled the bark, exposing the white inner wood of the branches.

38Incia adhikaia manga raha ikulasina sumai i aroana manga bhembe dumba sumai, i nuncana dhingkanana uwe isumpuna, roonamo manga binata sumai sadia akawi ande bheasumpu.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,

39Sumaimo, manga bhembe dumba sumai akawi i aroana manga raha mokobhelombana maputi sumai, sabutuna alaahirimo manga anana mokotanda-tandana tee mokobhelombana.they mated in front of the branches. And they bore young that were streaked or speckled or spotted.

40Kasiimpomo Yakub agaatimea manga dumba bhemokawina sumai apapoaroa manga bhembe dumbana Laban momaetana tee mokobhelombana. Tee akala mboo sumai, Yakub arangani kabharina kadhambaakana karona tee agaatia minaaka i kadhambaakana Laban.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.

41Jadi, sadia ande bheakawi manga bhembe dumba momakaana, Yakub adhikamea manga raha sumai i nuncana dhingkanana uwe isumpuna i aroana bhembe dumba sumai, mamudhaakana manga incia akawi amakasu i manga raha sumai.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.

42Maka ande aumba saguluma bhembe dumba momalute, incia inda adhika manga raha sumai i aroana. Tee mboo sumai, manga kadhambaaka momalute amembali pewauana Laban, sainamo kadhambaaka momakaana amembali pewauana Yakub.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.

43Sabutuna, ahandamo ajulu karangkaeana Yakub. Incia abhari gulumana bhembe dumbana, unta, tee keledai, tee uka bhatuana umane tee bhawine.Thus Jacob became exceedingly prosperous. He owned large flocks, maidservants and menservants, and camels and donkeys.
