Genesis 29

Then Jacob went on his journey, and came into the land of the people of the east.

Dia niainga Jakoba ka nankany amin'ny tanin'ny zanaky ny atsinanana.

And he looked, and behold a well in the field, and, lo, there were three flocks of sheep lying by it; for out of that well they watered the flocks: and a great stone was upon the well's mouth.

Dia nijery izy, ka, indro, nisy lavaka fantsakana tany an-tsaha, ary, indro, nisy ondry aman'osy telo, dia nandry teo anilany; fa teo amin'izany lavaka fantsakana izany no fampisotroan'ny olona ny andian'ny ondry aman'osy; ary lehibe ny vato teo am-bavan'ny fantsakana.

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 his place.

Ary nangonina teo ny andian'ny ondry aman'osy rehetra, dia nakodian'ny olona ny vato hiala amin'ny vavan'ny lavaka fantsakana, ka nampisotroiny ny ondry aman'osy; ary dia naveriny indray ny Vato ho eo am-bavan'ny lavaka fantsakana ho amin'ny fitoerany.

And Jacob said unto them, My brethren, whence be ye? And they said, Of Haran are we.

Ary hoy Jakoba tamin'ny olona: Ry rahalahiko, avy aiza moa ianareo? Ary hoy ireo: Avy any Harana izahay.

And he said unto them, Know ye Laban the son of Nahor? And they said, We know him.

Ary hoy izy taminy: Moa mba fantatrareo va Labana, zanakalahin'i Nahora? Dia hoy izy: Fantatray ihany.

And he said unto them, Is he well? And they said, He is well: and, behold, Rachel his daughter cometh with the sheep.

Ary hoy izy taminy: Tsara ihany va izy? Dia hoy izy: Tsara ihany izy; ary, indro, tamy Rahely zananivavy mitondra ny ondry aman'osy.

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.

Ary hoy izy: Indro, mbola antoandrobe ny andro, ka tsy mbola mby amin'ny fotoana famoriana ny omby aman'ondry; ampisotroy ny ondry aman'osy, dia andeha, andraso.

And they said, We cannot, until all the flocks be gathered together, and till they roll the stone from the well's mouth; then we water the sheep.

Dia hoy izy: Tsy azonay hatao izany, raha tsy efa tafangona avokoa ny andian'ny ondry aman'osy rehetra, ka hakodian'ny olona ny vato hiala amin'ny vavan'ny lavaka fantsakana; dia vao hampisotro ny ondry aman'osy izahay.

And while he yet spake with them, Rachel came with her father's sheep: for she kept them.

Raha mbola niteny taminy izy; dia, indro, tamy Rahely nitondra ny ondry aman'osin-drainy; fa mpiandry ondry izy.

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.

Ary rehefa hitan'i Jakoba Rahely, zanakavavin'i Labana anadahin-dreniny, sy ny ondry aman'osin'i Labana anadahin-dreniny, dia nanatona izy ka nanakodia ny vato hiala tamin'ny vavan'ny lavaka fantsakana, dia nampisotro ny ondry aman'osin'i Labana anadahin-dreniny izy.

And Jacob kissed Rachel, and lifted up his voice, and wept.

Ary Jakoba nanoroka an-dRahely, dia nanandrata ny feony ka nitomany.

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.

Dia nambaran'i Jakoba tamin-dRahely fa havan-drainy sy zana-dRebeka izy; dia nihazakazaka Rahely nanambara izany tamin-drainy.

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.

Ary rehefa ren'i Labana ny filazany an'i Jakoba, zanak'anabaviny, dia nihazakazaka nitsena azy izy ka namihina azy sy nanoroka azy ary nitondra azy ho any an-tranony. Dia nambaran'i Jakoba tamin'i Labana izany rehetra izany.

And Laban said to him, Surely thou art my bone and my flesh. And he abode with him the space of a month.

Ary hoy Labana taminy: Taolako sy nofoko tokoa ianao. Ary rehefa nitoetra tao aminy andro iray volana Jakoba,

And Laban said unto Jacob, Because thou art my brother, shouldest thou therefore serve me for nought? tell me, what shall thy wages be?

dia hoy Labana taminy: Moa na dia rahalahiko aza ianao, dia hano­mpo ahy maina va ? Lazao amiko izay ho karamanao.

And Laban had two daughters: the name of the elder was Leah, and the name of the younger was Rachel.

Ary Labana nanan-janaka roa vavy: Lea no anaran'ny zokiny, ary Rahely no anaran'ny zandriny.

Leah was tender eyed; but Rachel was beautiful and well favoured.

Ary Lea nalemy maso; fa Rahely bikàna sady tsara tarehy.

And Jacob loved Rachel; and said, I will serve thee seven years for Rachel thy younger daughter.

Ary Jakoba tia an-dRahely ka nanao hoe: Hanompo anao fito taona aho hahazoako an-dRahely, zanakao faravavy.

And Laban said, It is better that I give her to thee, than that I should give her to another man: abide with me.

Ary hoy Labana: Aleoko homena anao izy, toy izay homena lehilahy hafa; tomoera eto amiko.

And Jacob served seven years for Rachel; and they seemed unto him but a few days, for the love he had to her.

Dia nanompo an'i Labana fito taona Jakoba hahazoany an-dRahely; ary toa andro vitsy foana teo imasony izany noho ny fitiavany azy.

And Jacob said unto Laban, Give me my wife, for my days are fulfilled, that I may go in unto her.

Ary hoy Jakoba tamin'i Labana: Aiza ny vadiko, mba hanambadiako azy? fa efa tapitra ny fetr'androko.

And Laban gathered together all the men of the place, and made a feast.

Ary nampamory ny tompon-tany rehetra Labana ka nanao fanasana.

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.

Kanjo nony hariva dia naka an'i Lea zananivavy izy ka nitondra azy ho any amin'i Jakoba; dia nanambady azy Jakoba.

And Laban gave unto his daughter Leah Zilpah his maid for an handmaid.

Ary nomen'i Labana an'i Lea zananivavy Zilpa ankizivaviny hanompo azy.

And it came to pass, that in the morning, 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?

Ary nony efa maraina ny andro, indro fa Lea izy; dia hoy Jakoba tamin'i Labana: Ahoana izao nataonao tamiko izao? Moa tsy Rahely va no nanompoako anao? Ka nahoana no nofitahinao aho?

And Laban said, It must not be so done in our country, to give the younger before the firstborn.

Dia hoy Labana: Tsy fanao atỳ amin'ny taninay ny mamoaka ny zandriny alohan'ny zokiny.

Fulfil her week, and we will give thee this also for the service which thou shalt serve with me yet seven other years.

Tanteraho ny herinandron'ity anankiray ity, dia homenay anao koa ny anankiray noho ny fanompoana izay mbola hanompoanao ahy fito taona indray.

And Jacob did so, and fulfilled her week: and he gave him Rachel his daughter to wife also.

Dia nataon'i Jakoba izany, ka notanterahiny ny herinandrony; dia nomen'i Labana azy koa Rahely zananivavy ho vadiny.

And Laban gave to Rachel his daughter Bilhah his handmaid to be her maid.

Ary nomen'i Labana an-dRahely zananivavy kosa Bila ankizivaviny hanompo azy.

And he went in also unto Rachel, and he loved also Rachel more than Leah, and served with him yet seven other years.

Dia novadin'i Jakoba koa Rahely; ary izy no tiany mihoatra noho Lea; dia nanompo an'i Labana fito taona indray izy.

And when the LORD saw that Leah was hated, he opened her womb: but Rachel was barren.

Ary rehefa hitan'i Jehovah fa nankahalaina Lea, dia nampanan'anaka azy Izy; fa momba kosa Rahely.

And Leah conceived, and bare a son, and she called his name Reuben: for she said, Surely the LORD hath looked upon my affliction; now therefore my husband will love me.

Dia nanan'anaka Lea ka niteraka zazalahy, ary ny anarany dia na­taony hoe Robena; fa hoy izy: Efa nitsinjo ny fahoriako Jehovah, fa ankehitriny dia ho tian'ny vadiko aho.

And she conceived again, and bare a son; and said, Because the LORD hath heard that I was hated, he hath therefore given me this son also: and she called his name Simeon.

Dia nanan'anaka indray izy ka niteraka zazalahy; ary hoy izy: Satria ren'i Jehovah fa efa nankalahaina aho, dia nomeny ahy koa ity; dia nataony hoe Simeona ny anarany.

And she conceived again, and bare a son; and said, Now this time will my husband be joined unto me, because I have born him three sons: therefore was his name called Levi.

Dia nanan'anaka indray izy ka niteraka zazalahy; ary hoy izy: Ankehitriny izao dia hikambana amiko ny vadiko, fa efa niteraka zazalahy telo ho azy aho; izany no nanaovana ny anarany hoe Levy.

And she conceived again, and bare a son: and she said, Now will I praise the LORD: therefore she called his name Judah; and left bearing.

Dia nanan'anaka indray izy ka niteraka zazalahy; ary hoy izy: Ankehitriny dia hidera an'i Jehovah aho; izany no nanaovany ny anarany hoe Joda; dia nitsaha-jaza izy.
