Genesis 29
29
Niabot si Jacob didto sa Padan Aram
1Nagpadayon si Jacob sa iyang lakaw hangtod nga nakaabot siya sa yuta sa mga taga-sidlakan. 2Ug didto sa hawanan aduna siyay nakitang usa ka atabay. Sa tapad niini adunay naglubog nga tulo ka panon sa mga karnero, kay didto ang kuhaanan sa mga tawo ug tubig nga ipainom sa mga karnero. Gitabonan kini nga atabay ug dakong bato. 3Hulaton una sa mga magbalantay sa karnero nga matigom ang tanang mga karnero ayha nila ligiron ang gitabon nga bato. Pagkahuman nila ug painom sa mga karnero, ibalik na usab nila pagtabon ang bato.
4Unya, nangutana si Jacob sa mga magbalantay sa karnero, “Mga higala, taga-asa kamo?”
Mitubag sila, “Taga-Haran.”
5Nangutana si Jacob, “Nakaila ba kamo kang Laban nga apo ni Nahor?”
Mitubag sila, “Oo, nakaila kami kaniya.”
6Nagpadayon sa pagpangutana si Jacob, “Kumusta siya?”
Mitubag sila, “Maayo man. Tan-awa, anaa ang iyang anak nga si Raquel, nagpadulong dinhi uban sa mga karnero.”
7Miingon si Jacob kanila, “Tungod kay sayo pa man ug dili pa panahon sa pagtigom sa mga karnero, maayo tingali nga paimnon ninyo sila ug pasab-sabon pag-usab.”
8Mitubag sila, “Dili namo kana mahimo kon dili matigom ang tanang mga karnero. Kon ania na ang tanan, ligiron na namo ang tabon nga bato ug paimnon sila.”
9Nakigsulti pa si Jacob kanila sa dihang miabot si Raquel uban sa mga karnero sa iyang amahan, kay siya man ang nagbantay niini. 10Pagkakita ni Jacob kang Raquel uban sa mga karnero sa iyang uyoan#29:10 sa iyang uyoan: o sa igsoon sa iyang inahan. nga si Laban, miadto siya sa atabay, ug giligid niya ang bato ug gipainom ang mga karnero. 11Pagkahuman, gihagkan ni Jacob si Raquel ug mihilak siya sa kalipay.#29:11 mihilak siya sa kalipay: sa literal, mihilak siya ug kusog. 12Miingon siya kang Raquel nga paryente siya sa iyang amahan ug anak ni Rebeka. Mao nga midagan si Raquel pauli ug gisuginlan niya ang iyang amahan.
13Pagkadungog ni Laban sa balita bahin kang Jacob nga iyang pag-umangkon kang Rebeka, midagan siya sa pagtagbo kaniya. Gigakos niya si Jacob ug gihagkan, ug gidala sa ilang balay. Ug didto gisugilon ni Jacob kang Laban ang tanan nga nahitabo. 14Miingon si Laban kaniya, “Tinuod gayod nga kadugo ka nako.”
Gipangasawa ni Jacob sila Lea ug Raquel
Paglabay sa usa ka bulan nga pagpuyo ni Jacob uban kanila ni Laban, 15miingon si Laban kaniya, “Dili maayo nga magtrabaho ka alang kanako nga walay suhol tungod lang kay pag-umangkon ka nako. Sultihi ako kon unsa ang gusto mo nga isuhol ko kanimo.”
16Adunay duha ka anak si Laban nga dalaga. Si Lea ang magulang ug si Raquel ang manghod. 17Nindot ug mata si Lea, apan matahom ug nindot ug lawas si Raquel. 18Tungod kay nahigugma si Jacob kang Raquel, miingon siya kang Laban, “Moalagad ako kanimo ug pito ka tuig kon ipaminyo mo kanako si Raquel.”
19Mitubag si Laban, “Mas maayo pa nga ipaminyo ko siya kanimo kay sa lain nga lalaki. Pabilin dinhi uban kanako.” 20Busa mialagad si Jacob kang Laban ug pito ka tuig aron mapangasawa niya si Raquel. Tungod sa iyang paghigugma kang Raquel murag pila lang ka adlaw alang kaniya ang pito ka tuig.
21Paglabay sa pito ka tuig, miingon si Jacob kang Laban, “Nahuman na ang panahon sa akong pag-alagad kanimo, busa ihatag na kanako si Raquel aron mag-ipon na kami.”
22Ug misugot si Laban, busa nagpakombira si Laban ug giimbitar niya ang tanang mga tawo niadtong dapita. 23Apan pagkagabii, si Lea ang gidala ni Laban ngadto kang Jacob ug dili si Raquel. Ug nakigdulog si Jacob kang Lea. 24(Gihatag ni Laban kang Lea ang iyang sulugoon nga babaye nga si Zilpa aron mahimong sulugoon ni Lea.)
25Pagkabuntag, nahibaloan ni Jacob nga si Lea diay ang iyang gikadulog. Busa giadtoan niya si Laban ug giingnan, “Nganong gibuhat mo kini kanako? Nangalagad ako kanimo aron mapangasawa ko si Raquel. Nganong gilimbongan mo man ako?”
26Mitubag si Laban, “Wala mabatasan dinhi sa among dapit nga mouna ug minyo ang manghod sa magulang. 27Hulata lang nga mahuman ang usa ka semana nga pagsaulog niining kasal kay ipaminyo ko usab kanimo si Raquel, kana kon moalagad ka kanako pag-usab ug laing pito ka tuig.”
28Misugot si Jacob sa giingon ni Laban. Pagkahuman sa usa ka semana nga pagsaulog sa ilang kasal ni Lea, gipaminyo ni Laban si Raquel kaniya. 29(Gihatag ni Laban kang Raquel ang iyang sulugoon nga babaye nga si Bilha aron mahimong sulugoon ni Raquel.) 30Busa nakigdulog usab si Jacob kang Raquel. Mas gimahal niya si Raquel kay kang Lea. Unya nangalagad si Jacob kang Laban ug laing pito ka tuig.
Ang mga Anak ni Jacob
31Nakita sa Ginoo nga wala higugmaa ni Jacob si Lea, busa gihatagan niya ug anak si Lea, apan si Raquel walay anak. 32Namabdos si Lea ug nanganak ug lalaki ug ginganlan niya kini ug Ruben#29:32 Ruben: posible nga ang buot ipasabot, nakita niya ang akong pag-antos., kay miingon siya, “Nakita sa Ginoo ang akong pag-antos, ug sigurado nga higugmaon na ako sa akong bana karon.”
33Namabdos siya pag-usab ug nanganak ug usa ka lalaki. Miingon siya, “Gihatagan ako pag-usab sa Ginoo ug usa ka anak nga lalaki kay nakadungog siya nga wala ako higugmaa sa akong bana.” Busa ginganlan niya ang bata ug Simeon#29:33 Simeon: posible nga ang buot ipasabot, nakadungog siya..
34Namabdos pag-usab si Lea ug nanganak ug usa pa gayod ka lalaki. Miingon siya, “Karon higugmaon na gayod ako sa akong bana kay tulo na ang among anak nga lalaki.” Busa ginganlan niya ang bata ug Levi#29:34 Levi: posible nga ang buot ipasabot, gipaduol..
35Namabdos pa gayod pag-usab si Lea ug nanganak ug usa na usab ka lalaki. Miingon siya, “Karon dayegon ko ang Ginoo.” Busa ginganlan niya ang bata ug Juda#29:35 Juda: posible nga ang buot ipasabot, dayegon siya.. Human niadto, miundang siya pagpanganak.

Genesis 29
29
Jacob Marries Leah and Rachel
1Then Jacob went on his journey and came to #Num. 23:7; Judg. 6:3the land of the people of the east. 2As he looked, he saw a well in the field, and behold, three flocks of sheep lying beside it, for out of that well the flocks were watered. The stone on the well’s mouth was large, 3and when all the flocks were gathered there, the shepherds would roll the stone from the mouth of the well and water the sheep, and put the stone back in its place over the mouth of the well.
4Jacob said to them, “My brothers, where do you come from?” They said, #ch. 27:43“We are from Haran.” 5He said to them, “Do you know Laban the son of Nahor?” They said, “We know him.” 6He said to them, “Is it well with him?” They said, “It is well; and see, Rachel his daughter is coming with the sheep!” 7He said, “Behold, it is still high day; it is not time for the livestock to be gathered together. Water the sheep and go, pasture them.” 8But they said, “We cannot until all the flocks are gathered together and the stone is rolled from the mouth of the well; then we water the sheep.”
9While he was still speaking with them, #Ex. 2:16, 17Rachel came with her father’s sheep, for she was a shepherdess. 10Now as soon as Jacob saw Rachel the daughter of Laban his mother’s brother, and the sheep of Laban his mother’s brother, Jacob came near and rolled the stone from the well’s mouth and watered the flock of Laban his mother’s brother. 11Then Jacob kissed Rachel and wept aloud. 12And Jacob told Rachel that he was #ch. 13:8; 14:14, 16her father’s kinsman, and that he was Rebekah’s son, #[ch. 24:28, 29]and she ran and told her father.
13As soon as Laban heard the news about Jacob, his sister’s son, #[See ver. 12 above]he ran to meet him and embraced him and kissed him and brought him to his house. Jacob told Laban all these things, 14and Laban said to him, #ch. 2:23; 37:27; Judg. 9:2; 2 Sam. 5:1; 19:12, 13; 1 Chr. 11:1“Surely you are my bone and my flesh!” And he stayed with him a month.
15Then Laban said to Jacob, “Because you are my kinsman, should you therefore serve me for nothing? Tell me, what shall your wages be?” 16Now Laban had two daughters. The name of the older was Leah, and the name of the younger was Rachel. 17Leah’s eyes were weak,#29:17 Or soft but Rachel was beautiful in form and appearance. 18Jacob loved Rachel. And he said, #ch. 30:26; 31:41; [Hos. 12:12]“I will serve you seven years for your younger daughter Rachel.” 19Laban said, “It is better that I give her to you than that I should give her to any other man; stay with me.” 20So Jacob #[See ver. 18 above]served seven years for Rachel, and they seemed to him but a few days because of the love he had for her.
21Then Jacob said to Laban, “Give me my wife that I may go in to her, for my time is completed.” 22So Laban gathered together all the people of the place and #Judg. 14:10; [John 2:1, 2]made a feast. 23But in the evening he took his daughter Leah and brought her to Jacob, and he went in to her. 24(Laban gave#29:24 Or had given; also verse 29 #See ch. 30:9-12his female servant Zilpah to his daughter Leah to be her servant.) 25And in the morning, behold, it was Leah! And Jacob said to Laban, “What is this you have done to me? Did I not serve with you for Rachel? Why then have you deceived me?” 26Laban said, “It is not so done in our country, to give the younger before the firstborn. 27#[Judg. 14:12]Complete the week of this one, and we will give you the other also in return for serving me another seven years.” 28Jacob did so, and completed her week. Then Laban gave him his daughter Rachel to be his wife. 29(Laban gave #See ch. 30:3-7his female servant Bilhah to his daughter Rachel to be her servant.) 30So Jacob went in to Rachel also, and he loved Rachel more than Leah, and served Laban #ver. 20; ch. 31:41for another seven years.
Jacob’s Children
31When the Lord saw that Leah was #Deut. 21:15hated, #[ch. 30:22]he opened her womb, but Rachel was barren. 32And Leah conceived and bore a son, and she called his name Reuben,#29:32 Reuben means See, a son for she said, “Because the Lord #ch. 31:42; Ex. 3:7; 4:31; Deut. 26:7has looked upon my affliction; for now my husband will love me.” 33She conceived again and bore a son, and said, “Because the Lord has heard that I am hated, he has given me this son also.” And she called his name Simeon.#29:33 Simeon sounds like the Hebrew for heard 34Again she conceived and bore a son, and said, “Now this time my husband will be #[Num. 18:2, 4]attached to me, because I have borne him three sons.” Therefore his name was called Levi.#29:34 Levi sounds like the Hebrew for attached 35And she conceived again and bore a son, and said, “This time I will praise the Lord.” Therefore she called his name #Matt. 1:2; [ch. 49:8]Judah.#29:35 Judah sounds like the Hebrew for praise Then she ceased bearing.
