Gênesis 30

1 Ā, nō te kitenga o Rahera kāhore i whānau tētahi tama mā rāua ko Hākopa, ka hae a Rahera ki tōna tuakana; ā, ka mea ia ki a Hākopa, "Kia whai tamariki ahau, ki te kāhore, ka mate ahau."

2 Nā, ka mura ake te riri a Hākopa ki a Rahera; ka mea ia, "Ko te Atua rānei ahau e kaiponu atu nei i te hua mō tōu kōpū?"

3 Ā, ka mea tērā, "Nā, tāku pononga wahine, a Piriha, haere ki roto, ki a ia; kia whānau ai ia ki runga ki ōku turi, ā, māna ka whai tamariki ai ahau."

4 Nā, ka hōmai e ia a Piriha, tāna pononga wahine, ki a ia hei wahine, ā, ka haere atu a Hākopa ki roto, ki a ia. 5 Nā, ka hapū a Piriha, ā, ka whānau tā rāua tama ko Hākopa. 6 Nā, ka mea a Rahera, "Kua whakarite te Atua i tāku whakawākanga, kua rongo anō ki tōku reo, kua hōmai hoki e ia tētahi tama ki ahau." Nā reira i huaina ai e ia tōna ingoa ko Rāna.

7 Nā, ka hapū anō a Piriha, te pononga wahine a Rahera, ā, ka whānau te rua o ā rāua tama ko Hākopa. 8 Nā, ka mea a Rahera, "Nui whakaharahara ngā nōnoketanga i nōnoke ai māua ko tōku tuakana, ā, taea ana ia e ahau." Nā, huaina iho e ia tōna ingoa ko Napatari.

9 I te kitenga o Rea ka mutu ia te whānau, ka tango ia i a Tiripa, i tāna pononga wahine, ā, hoatu ana e ia ki a Hākopa hei wahine. 10 Nā, ka whānau te tama a Hākopa rāua ko Tiripa, pononga a Rea. 11 Ā, ka mea a Rea, "He waimarie!" Nā, huaina ana e ia tōna ingoa ko Kara.

12 Nā, ka whānau te rua o ngā tama a Hākopa rāua ko Tiripa, pononga a Rea. 13 Ā, ka mea a Rea, "E hari ana ahau, ka kīia nei hoki ahau e ngā tamāhine he mea hari"; ā, huaina ana e ia tōna ingoa ko Āhera.

14 Nā, ka haere a Reupena i ngā rā o te kotinga wīti, ā, ka kite i ētahi manitareki i te koraha, ā, kawea ana e ia ki a Rea, ki tōna whaea. Ā, ka mea atu a Rahera ki a Rea, "Tēnā koa māku ētahi o ngā manitareki a tāu tama."

15 Nā, ko te meatanga a tērā ki a ia, "He mea nohinohi ianei tāu tangohanga i tāku tahu? Ā, me tango anō koe i ngā manitareki a tāku tama?"

Ā, ka mea atu a Rahera, "Nā, me takoto ia ki a koe i tēnei pō hei utu mō ngā manitareki a tāu tama."

16 Ā, i te ahiahi ka haere mai a Hākopa i te māra, nā, ka puta atu a Rea ki te whakatau i a ia, ka mea, "Me haere mai koe ki ahau; kua oti hoki koe te hoko e ahau ki ngā manitareki a tāku tama." Nā, ka takoto ia ki a ia i taua pō.

17 I whakarongo hoki te Atua ki a Rea, ā, ka hapū ia, ā, ka whānau te tokorima o ā rāua tama ko Hākopa. 18 Nā, ka mea a Rea, "Kua hōmai e te Atua tōku utu, mōku i hoatu i tāku pononga ki tāku tahu"; ā, huaina ana e ia tōna ingoa ko Ihākara.

19 Nā, ka hapū anō a Rea, ā, ka whānau te tokoono o ā rāua tama ko Hākopa. 20 Nā, ka mea a Rea, "He pai te hākari i hōmai nei e te Atua ki ahau; kātahi tāku tahu ka noho ki ahau, mō te whānautanga o ā māua tama tokoono"; ā, huaina ana e ia tōna ingoa ko Hepurona.

21 Ā muri iho ka whānau he kōtiro, ā, huaina ana e ia tōna ingoa ko Rina.

22 Ā, i mahara te Atua ki a Rahera, i whakarongo hoki te Atua ki a ia, ā, whakatuwheratia ana e ia tōna kōpū. 23 Nā, ka hapū ia, ā, ka whānau he tama. Ā, ka mea ia, "Kua whakamutua e te Atua tōku tāwainga." 24 Nā, huaina ana e ia tōna ingoa ko Hōhepa; ā, ka mea, "Ka tāpiritia mai e Ihowā tētahi atu tama māku."

Ka Whai Nunui ngā Kāhui a Hākopa

25 Nā, ka whānau rā a Hōhepa i a Rahera, ka mea a Hākopa ki a Rāpana, "Tukua ahau, kia haere ai ahau ki tōku ake wāhi, ki tōku whenua. 26 Hōmai āku wāhine me āku tamariki i mahi ai ahau ki a koe, ā, ka haere ahau. E mōhio ana hoki koe ki tāku mahi i mahi ai ahau ki a koe."

27 Nā, ka mea a Rāpana ki a ia, "Ki te mea e manakohia ana ahau e koe, e noho; kua kite hoki ahau nāu i manaakitia ai ahau e Ihowā." 28 I mea anō ia, "Whakaritea ki ahau te utu mōu, ā ka hoatu e ahau."

29 Ā, ka mea ia ki a ia, "E mōhio ana koe ki tāku mahinga ki a koe, ki āu kararehe hoki i ahau, tō rātou pēheatanga. 30 I mua atu hoki i ahau he iti āu mea, nā, kua nui noa atu tēnei; ā, kua manaakitia koe e Ihowā ahakoa tahuri ahau ki hea, ki hea. Nā, ināianei āhea rānei ahau mea ai hoki i tētahi mea mō tōku ake whare?"

31 Ā, ka mea tērā, "Ko te aha tāku e hoatu ai ki a koe?"

Ā, ka mea a Hākopa, "Kaua e hōmai tētahi mea ki ahau. Ki te meatia mai e koe tēnei mea āku, ka whāngai anō ahau, ka tiaki i āu hipi. 32 Ka tika ahau nā waenganui i tāu kāhui katoa ākuanei, ā, ka wehea i reira ngā mea whai tongitongi katoa, ngā mea purepure, me ngā mea pākākā katoa i roto i ngā hipi, me ngā purepure, me ngā mea whai tongitongi i roto i ngā koati; ā, ko ērā hei utu mōku. 33 Pēnei ka whakatikaia ahau e tōku tika āpōpō ake nei, ina tae atu ki tōu aroaro ki te utu mōku. Ko ngā mea i roto i ngā koati kāhore nei he tongitongi, kāhore he purepure, me ngā mea kāhore e pākākā i roto i ngā hipi, he mea tāhae tēnā nāku."

34 Nā, ka mea a Rāpana, "Āe, pai tonu kia pēnā me tāu i kī mai nā." 35 Nā, ka wehea e ia i taua rangi ngā koati toa, ngā mea whakahekeheke, me ngā mea purepure, me ngā koati uha e whai tongitongi ana, me ngā mea purepure, ngā mea he mā tētahi wāhi, me ngā mea pākākā o ngā hipi, ā, hoatu ana ki ngā ringa o āna tama. 36 Nā, ka whakatakiwātia e ia he takiwā i waenganui i a ia, i a Hākopa, kia toru ngā rā e haerea ai; ā, ka whāngai a Hākopa i ngā hipi a Rāpana i mahue iho.

37 Kātahi ka tīkina e Hākopa ētahi rākau māna, he pāpara mata, he aramona, he pereni; ā, tīhorea ana e ia ētahi tīhorenga mā i aua mea, ā, ka meinga kia āta kitea te wāhi mā o ngā rākau. 38 Ā, i whakatūria e ia aua rākau i tīhorea rā ki roto ki ngā hake, ki roto ki ngā waka wai, kia taurite mai ki ngā hipi, ina haere ngā hipi ki te inu; i whakahapūtia hoki i te haerenga ki te inu. 39 Nā, ka whakahapūtia ngā kāhui ki mua i ngā rākau, ā, he whakahekeheke, he mea tongitongi, he purepure ngā kūao i whānau.

40 Nā, ka wehea atu ngā reme e Hākopa, ā, whakaangahia ana e ia ngā kanohi o ngā kāhui ki ngā mea whakahekeheke, ki ngā mea pākākā katoa i roto i te kāhui a Rāpana. Nā, ko āna ake kāhui i wehea e ia ki te whanga, kīhai hoki i tukua ki roto ki te kāhui a Rāpana.

41 Nā, i ngā wā katoa e whakahapūtia ai ngā mea kaha o te kāhui ka whakatūria e Hākopa ngā rākau ki te tirohanga a te kāhui, ki roto ki ngā hake, kia whakahapūtia ai rātou ki waenga i ngā rākau; 42 ā, ki te mea he ngoikore te kāhui, kīhai i whakatūria e ia. Nā, i a Rāpana ngā mea ngoikore, ā, i a Hākopa ngā mea kaha. 43 Nā, ka tino nui haere rawa taua tangata, ā, ka whai kāhui nunui anō ia, me ngā pononga wāhine, me ngā pononga tāne, me ngā kāmera, me ngā kāihe.

1 And when Rachel saw that she bare Jacob no children, Rachel envied her sister; and she said unto Jacob, Give me children, or else I die. 2 And Jacob’s anger was kindled against Rachel: and he said, Am I in God’s stead, who hath withheld from thee the fruit of the womb? 3 And she said, Behold, my maid Bilhah, go in unto her; that she may bear upon my knees, and I also may obtain children by her. 4 And she gave him Bilhah her handmaid to wife: and Jacob went in unto her. 5 And Bilhah conceived, and bare Jacob a son. 6 And Rachel said, God hath judged me, and hath also heard my voice, and hath given me a son: therefore called she his name Dan. 7 And Bilhah Rachel’s handmaid conceived again, and bare Jacob a second son. 8 And Rachel said, With mighty wrestlings have I wrestled with my sister, and have prevailed: and she called his name Naphtali.

9 When Leah saw that she had left off bearing, she took Zilpah her handmaid, and gave her to Jacob to wife. 10 And Zilpah Leah’s handmaid bare Jacob a son. 11 And Leah said, Fortunate! and she called his name Gad. 12 And Zilpah Leah’s handmaid bare Jacob a second son. 13 And Leah said, Happy am I! for the daughters will call me happy: and she called his name Asher.

14 And Reuben went in the days of wheat harvest, and found mandrakes in the field, and brought them unto his mother Leah. Then Rachel said to Leah, Give me, I pray thee, of thy son’s mandrakes. 15 And she said unto her, Is it a small matter that thou hast taken away my husband? and wouldest thou take away my son’s mandrakes also? And Rachel said, Therefore he shall lie with thee to-night for thy son’s mandrakes. 16 And Jacob came from the field in the evening, and Leah went out to meet him, and said, Thou must come in unto me; for I have surely hired thee with my son’s mandrakes. And he lay with her that night. 17 And God hearkened unto Leah, and she conceived, and bare Jacob a fifth son. 18 And Leah said, God hath given me my hire, because I gave my handmaid to my husband: and she called his name Issachar. 19 And Leah conceived again, and bare a sixth son to Jacob. 20 And Leah said, God hath endowed me with a good dowry; now will my husband dwell with me, because I have borne him six sons: and she called his name Zebulun. 21 And afterwards she bare a daughter, and called her name Dinah. 22 And God remembered Rachel, and God hearkened to her, and opened her womb. 23 And she conceived, and bare a son: and said, God hath taken away my reproach: 24 and she called his name Joseph, saying, Jehovah add to me another son.

25 And it came to pass, when Rachel had borne Joseph, that Jacob said unto Laban, Send me away, that I may go unto mine own place, and to my country. 26 Give me my wives and my children for whom I have served thee, and let me go: for thou knowest my service wherewith I have served thee. 27 And Laban said unto him, If now I have found favor in thine eyes, tarry: for I have divined that Jehovah hath blessed me for thy sake. 28 And he said, Appoint me thy wages, and I will give it. 29 And he said unto him, Thou knowest how I have served thee, and how thy cattle have fared with me. 30 For it was little which thou hadst before I came, and it hath increased unto a multitude; and Jehovah hath blessed thee whithersoever I turned: and now when shall I provide for mine own house also? 31 And he said, What shall I give thee? And Jacob said, Thou shalt not give me aught: if thou wilt do this thing for me, I will again feed thy flock and keep it. 32 I will pass through all thy flock to-day, removing from thence every speckled and spotted one, and every black one among the sheep, and the spotted and speckled among the goats: and of such shall be my hire. 33 So shall my righteousness answer for me hereafter, when thou shalt come concerning my hire that is before thee: every one that is not speckled and spotted among the goats, and black among the sheep, that, if found with me, shall be counted stolen. 34 And Laban said, Behold, I would it might be according to thy word. 35 And he removed that day the he-goats that were ringstreaked and spotted, and all the she-goats that were speckled and spotted, every one that had white in it, and all the black ones among the sheep, and gave them into the hand of his sons; 36 and he set three days’ journey betwixt himself and Jacob: and Jacob fed the rest of Laban’s flocks.

37 And Jacob took him rods of fresh poplar, and of the almond and of the plane-tree; and peeled white streaks in them, and made the white appear which was in the rods. 38 And he set the rods which he had peeled over against the flocks in the gutters in the watering-troughs where the flocks came to drink; and they conceived when they came to drink. 39 And the flocks conceived before the rods, and the flocks brought forth ringstreaked, speckled, and spotted. 40 And Jacob separated the lambs, and set the faces of the flocks toward the ringstreaked and all the black in the flock of Laban: and he put his own droves apart, and put them not unto Laban’s flock. 41 And it came to pass, whensoever the stronger of the flock did conceive, that Jacob laid the rods before the eyes of the flock in the gutters, that they might conceive among the rods; 42 but when the flock were feeble, he put them not in: so the feebler were Laban’s, and the stronger Jacob’s. 43 And the man increased exceedingly, and had large flocks, and maid-servants and men-servants, and camels and asses.
