Gênesis 29

Ka Tae mai a Hākopa ki te Kāinga o Rāpana

1 Nā, ka tūria atu e Hākopa, ka haere ki te whenua o ngā tāngata o te rāwhiti. 2 Nā, ka titiro atu ia, ā, ka kite i tētahi poka i te pārae; nā, ko ētahi kāhui hipi e toru e takoto ana i te taha; i whakainumia hoki e rātou ngā kāhui ki te wai o taua poka. He nui hoki te kōhatu i te waha o te poka. 3 I huihuia hoki ki reira ngā kāhui katoa; ā, whakatakā atu ana e rātou te kōhatu i te waha o te poka, kia whakainumia ai ngā hipi, nā, ka whakahokia anō e rātou te kōhatu ki te waha o te poka, ki tōna wāhi.

4 Nā, ka mea a Hākopa ki a rātou, "E ōku tuākana, nō hea koutou?"

Ā, ka mea rātou, "Nō Harana mātou."

5 Nā, ka mea ia ki a rātou, "E mōhio ana ianei koutou ki a Rāpana, tama a Nahora?"

Ka mea rātou, "E mōhio ana anō mātou."

6 Ā, ka mea ia ki a rātou, "E ora ana rānei ia?"

Ka mea rātou, "E ora ana anō. Ko Rahera anō tēnei, ko tāna tamāhine, te haere mai nei me ngā hipi."

7 Nā, ka mea ia, "Nanā, he nui anō te rā, ehara tēnei i te wā hei huihuinga mai mō ngā kararehe. Whakainumia ngā hipi, haere hoki ki te whāngai."

8 Nā, ka mea rātou, "E kore e taea e mātou, kia huihuia mai rā anō ngā kāhui katoa, kia whakatakā hoki e rātou te kōhatu i te waha o te poka; kātahi ka whakainu mātou i ngā hipi."

9 I a ia anō e kōrero ana ki a rātou, ka puta mai a Rahera me ngā hipi a tōna pāpā; ko ia hoki te kaiwhāngai. 10 Ā, nō te kitenga o Hākopa i a Rahera tamāhine a Rāpana, tungāne o tōna whaea, me ngā hipi hoki a Rāpana, tungāne o tōna whaea, nā, ka haere a Hākopa, ā, whakatakā atu ana e ia te kōhatu i te waha o te poka, whakainumia ana e ia ngā hipi a Rāpana, tungāne o tōna whaea. 11 Nā, ka kihi a Hākopa i a Rahera, ā, nui atu tōna reo ki te tangi. 12 Nā, ka whakaaturia e Hākopa ki a Rahera ko ia te irāmutu o tōna pāpā, he tama hoki nā Ripeka, ā, ka rere ia ki te kōrero ki tōna pāpā.

13 Nā, i te taenga atu ki a Rāpana o te rongo o Hākopa, tama a tōna tuahine, ka rere ia ki te whakatau i a ia, ka awhi i a ia, ka kihi hoki i a ia, ā, kawea ana ki tōna whare. Ā, ka kōrerotia e ia ēnei mea katoa ki a Rāpana. 14 Nā, ka mea a Rāpana ki a ia, "He pono ko tōku wheua, ko tōku kikokiko koe." Ā, kotahi te marama i noho ai ia ki a ia.

Ka Mārena a Hākopa ngā Tamāhine ā Rāpana

15 Nā, ka mea a Rāpana ki a Hākopa, "Nō te mea ko tāku irāmutu koe, me mahi noa anō koe ki ahau? Kōrero mai ki ahau, me aha he utu mōu?"

16 Nā, tokorua ngā tamāhine a Rāpana; ko te ingoa o te tuakana ko Rea, ko te ingoa hoki o te teina ko Rahera. 17 He papahewa ngā kanohi o Rea; he mea āhuareka ia a Rahera, he ātaahua hoki ki te titiro atu. 18 Nā, i aroha a Hākopa ki a Rahera; ā, ka mea ia, "Kia whitu ngā tau e mahi ai ahau ki a koe mō Rahera, mō tāu tamāhine ō muri."

19 Nā, ka mea a Rāpana, "Engari te hoatu e ahau ki a koe, kei hoatu ki te tangata kē; e noho ki ahau." 20 Nā, e whitu ngā tau i mahi ai a Hākopa mō Rahera; ā, he rangi torutoru noa ake te rite o aua tau ki tōna whakaaro, i tōna aroha ki a ia.

21 Nā, ka mea a Hākopa ki a Rāpana, "Hōmai tāku wahine, kua rite nei hoki ōku rā, kia haere ahau ki roto, ki a ia."

22 Nā, ka huihuia mai e Rāpana ngā tāngata katoa o taua wāhi, ā, tukua ana e ia he hākari. 23 Ā, i te ahiahi ka mau ia ki a Rea ki tāna tamāhine, ā, kawea ana ia ki a ia; ā, ka haere ia ki roto, ki a ia. 24 Ā, i hoatu e Rāpana a Tiripa, tāna pononga wahine, hei pononga mā Rea, mā tāna tamāhine.

25 Ā, i te ata, nā, ko Rea ia; ā, ka mea ia ki a Rāpana, "He aha tēnei mahi āu ki ahau? Ehara ianei a Rahera i tāku i mahi ai ahau ki a koe? He aha rā koe i tinihanga, ai ki ahau?"

26 Nā, ko te meatanga a Rāpana, "Ehara tēnei i te tikanga o tō mātou whenua, kia hoatu te teina ki mua o te tuakana. 27 Whakatutukitia te wiki mō tēnei, ā, ka hoatu anō hoki tērā e mātou ki a koe mō te mahi e mahi ai koe ki ahau i ētahi atu tau e whitu."

28 Ā, pērā ana a Hākopa, ā, whakatutukitia ana e ia te wiki mō tēnei; ā, ka hōmai e ia a Rahera, tāna tamāhine, ki a ia hei wahine māna. 29 I hōmai anō e Rāpana a Piriha, tāna pononga wahine, ki a Rahera, ki tāna tamāhine, hei pononga māna. 30 Nā, ka haere anō hoki ia ki roto, ki a Rahera, ā, nui atu tōna aroha ki a Rahera i tōna ki a Rea; e whitu atu anō ngā tau i mahi ai ia ki a ia.

Ngā Tamariki ō Hākopa

31 Ā, ka kite a Ihowā e kinongia ana a Rea, ka whakatuwheratia e ia tōna kōpū; he pākoko ia a Rahera. 32 Nā, ka hapū a Rea, ā, ka whānau he tama, ā, huaina ana e ia tōna ingoa ko Reupena; i mea hoki ia, "Mō Ihowā hoki i titiro mai ki tōku tangihanga; tā te mea hoki ākuanei tāku tahu aroha ai ki ahau."

33 Nā, ka hapū anō ia, ā, ka whānau he tama; ā, ka mea ia, "I rongo hoki a Ihowā e kinongia ana ahau, koia i hōmai ai hoki e ia tēnei ki ahau." Ā, huaina ana e ia tōna ingoa ko Himiona.

34 Nā, ka hapū anō ia, ā, ka whānau he tama; ā, ka mea ia, "Kātahi anō tāku tahu ka piri mai ki ahau, nō te mea hoki ka tokotoru ā māua tama ka whānau"; nā reira i huaina ai e ia tōna ingoa ko Rīwai.

35 Nā, ka hapū anō ia, ā, ka whānau he tama; ā, ka mea ia, "Kātahi ahau ka whakamoemiti ki a Ihowā"; koia i huaina ai e ia tōna ingoa ko Hūrā; ā, ka mutu tāna whānau.

1 Then Jacob went on his journey, and came to the land of the children of the east. 2 And he looked, and, behold, a well in the field, and, lo, three flocks of sheep lying there by it; for out of that well they watered the flocks: and the stone upon the well’s mouth was great. 3 And thither were all the flocks gathered: and they rolled the stone from the well’s mouth, and watered the sheep, and put the stone again upon the well’s mouth in its place. 4 And Jacob said unto them, My brethren, whence are ye? And they said, Of Haran are we. 5 And he said unto them, Know ye Laban the son of Nahor? And they said, We know him. 6 And he said unto them, Is it well with him? And they said, It is well: and, behold, Rachel his daughter cometh with the sheep. 7 And he said, Lo, it is yet high day, neither is it time that the cattle should be gathered together: water ye the sheep, and go and feed them. 8 And they said, We cannot, until all the flocks be gathered together, and they roll the stone from the well’s mouth; then we water the sheep. 9 While he was yet speaking with them, Rachel came with her father’s sheep; for she kept them. 10 And it came to pass, when Jacob saw Rachel the daughter of Laban his mother’s brother, and the sheep of Laban his mother’s brother, that Jacob went near, and rolled the stone from the well’s mouth, and watered the flock of Laban his mother’s brother. 11 And Jacob kissed Rachel, and lifted up his voice, and wept. 12 And Jacob told Rachel that he was her father’s brother, and that he was Rebekah’s son: and she ran and told her father.

13 And it came to pass, when Laban heard the tidings of Jacob his sister’s son, that he ran to meet him, and embraced him, and kissed him, and brought him to his house. And he told Laban all these things. 14 And Laban said to him, Surely thou art my bone and my flesh. And he abode with him the space of a month. 15 And Laban said unto Jacob, Because thou art my brother, shouldest thou therefore serve me for nought? tell me, what shall thy wages be? 16 And Laban had two daughters: the name of the elder was Leah, and the name of the younger was Rachel. 17 And Leah’s eyes were tender; but Rachel was beautiful and well favored. 18 And Jacob loved Rachel; and he said, I will serve thee seven years for Rachel thy younger daughter. 19 And Laban said, It is better that I give her to thee, than that I should give her to another man: abide with me. 20 And Jacob served seven years for Rachel; and they seemed unto him but a few days, for the love he had to her.

21 And Jacob said unto Laban, Give me my wife, for my days are fulfilled, that I may go in unto her. 22 And Laban gathered together all the men of the place, and made a feast. 23 And it came to pass in the evening, that he took Leah his daughter, and brought her to him; and he went in unto her. 24 And Laban gave Zilpah his handmaid unto his daughter Leah for a handmaid. 25 And it came to pass in the morning that, behold, it was Leah: and he said to Laban, What is this thou hast done unto me? did not I serve with thee for Rachel? wherefore then hast thou beguiled me? 26 And Laban said, It is not so done in our place, to give the younger before the first-born. 27 Fulfil the week of this one, and we will give thee the other also for the service which thou shalt serve with me yet seven other years. 28 And Jacob did so, and fulfilled her week: and he gave him Rachel his daughter to wife. 29 And Laban gave to Rachel his daughter Bilhah his handmaid to be her handmaid. 30 And he went in also unto Rachel, and he loved also Rachel more than Leah, and served with him yet seven other years.

31 And Jehovah saw that Leah was hated, and he opened her womb: but Rachel was barren. 32 And Leah conceived, and bare a son, and she called his name Reuben: for she said, Because Jehovah hath looked upon my affliction; for now my husband will love me. 33 And she conceived again, and bare a son: and said, Because Jehovah hath heard that I am hated, he hath therefore given me this son also: and she called his name Simeon. 34 And she conceived again, and bare a son; and said, Now this time will my husband be joined unto me, because I have borne him three sons: therefore was his name called Levi. 35 And she conceived again, and bare a son: and she said, This time will I praise Jehovah: therefore she called his name Judah; and she left off bearing.
