1Jacob resumed his journey and came to the land of the people of the east.
1A LAILA, hele aku la o Iakoba i. kona hele ana, a hiki aku la i ka aina o na kanaka o ka hikina.
2He looked and saw a well in the field, and near it lay three flocks of sheep, because the sheep were watered from this well. And a large stone covered the mouth of the well.
2Nana aku la ia, aia hoi, he luawai ma ke kula, a me na ohana hipa ekolu e moe ana ilaila: no ka mea, ua hoohainuia na ohana holoholona i ka wai o ua luawai la: a aia maluna o ka waha o ka luawai he pohaku nui.
3When all the flocks had been gathered there, the shepherds would roll away the stone from the mouth of the well and water the sheep. Then they would return the stone to its place over the mouth of the well.
3Ilaila i hoakoakoaia'i na ohana holoholona a pau: olokaa ae la lakou i ka pohaku mai ka waha ae o ka luawai, a hoohainu iho la i na hipa; a kau hou iho la i ka pohaku maluna o ka waha o ka luawai, ma kona wahi.
4“My brothers,” Jacob asked the shepherds, “where are you from?” “We are from Haran,” they answered.
4I aku la o Iakoba ia lakou, E kuu mau hoahanau, nohea oukou? I mai la lakou, No Harana makou.
5“Do you know Laban the grandson of Nahor?” Jacob asked. “We know him,” they replied.
5I aku la ia ia lakou, Ua ike anei oukou ia Labana, ka moopuna a Nahora? I mai la lakou, Ua ike no makou.
6“Is he well?” Jacob inquired. “Yes,” they answered, “and here comes his daughter Rachel with his sheep.”
6I aku la ia ia lakou, E ola ana anei oia? I mai la lakou, E ola ana no, aia hoi, ke hele mai la o Rahela, o kana kaikamahine me ka pua hipa.
7“Look,” said Jacob, “it is still broad daylight; it is not yet time to gather the livestock. Water the sheep and take them back to pasture.”
7I aku la ia, Aia hoi, he la okoa keia; aole i hiki ka manawa e houluulu ai i na bipi: e hoohainu oukou i na hipa, a hele e hanai.
8But they replied, “We cannot, until all the flocks have been gathered and the stone has been rolled away from the mouth of the well. Then we will water the sheep.”
8I mai la lakou, Aole makou e hiki, a pau na ohana hipa i ka houluuluia, a olokaa ae lakou i ka pohaku, mai ka waha mai o ka luawai; alaila makou e hoohainu i na hipa.
9While he was still speaking with them, Rachel arrived with her father’s sheep, for she was a shepherdess.
9Ia ia i olelo ai me lakou, hiki mai la o Rahela me na hipa a kona makuakane: no ka mea, nana lakou i malama.
10As soon as Jacob saw Rachel, the daughter of his mother’s brother Laban, with Laban’s sheep, he went up and rolled the stone away from the mouth of the well and watered his uncle’s sheep.
10A ike aku la o Iakoba ia Rahela, ke kaikamahine a Labana, o ke kaikunane o kona makuwahine, a me ka poe hipa a Labana, o ke kaikunane o kona makuwahine, neenee aku la o Iakoba, olokaa ae la ia i ka pohaku mai ka waha ae o ka luawai, a hoohainu iho la i ka poe hipa a Labana, o ke kaikunane o kona makuwahine.
11Then Jacob kissed Rachel and wept aloud.
11Honi aku la o Iakoba ia Rahela, hookiekie ae la ia i kona leo, a uwe iho la.
12He told Rachel that he was Rebekah’s son, a relative of her father, and she ran and told her father.
12Hai aku la o Iakoba ia Rahela, he hoahanau ia no kona makuakane, a he keiki na Rebeka: holo aku la kela, a hai aku la i kona makuakane.
13When Laban heard the news about his sister’s son Jacob, he ran out to meet him. He embraced him and kissed him and brought him to his home, where Jacob told him all that had happened.
13A lohe ae la o Labana i ka olelo no Iakoba no ke keikikane a kona kaikuwahine, holo mai la ia e halawai me ia, apo mai la ia ia, honi ae la, a kai aku la ia ia i kona hale. Hai aku la oia ia Labana ia mau mea a pau.
14Then Laban declared, “You are indeed my own flesh and blood.” After Jacob had stayed with him a month,
14Olelo mai la o Labana ia ia, He oiaio, o oe no kuu iwi, a me kuu io. A noho pu iho la oia me ia, hookahi malama.
15Laban said to him, “Just because you are my relative, should you work for nothing? Tell me what your wages should be.”
15Olelo mai la o Labana ia Iakoba, E hookauwa wale anei oe na'u, no kou pili hoahanau ana ia'u? e hai mai oe ia'u i kau uku.
16Now Laban had two daughters; the older was named Leah, and the younger was named Rachel.
16Elua mau kaikamahine a Labana, o Lea ka inoa o ka mua, a o Rahela ka inoa o ka muli iho.
17Leah had weak eyes, but Rachel was shapely and beautiful.
17He makawai ko Lea; aka, ua maikai o Rahela ke nana aku, a ua maikai kona helehelena.
18Since Jacob loved Rachel, he answered, “I will serve you seven years for your younger daughter Rachel.”
18Aloha aku la o Iakoba ia Rahela: i aku la ia, E hooikaika aku no au i kau hana i na makahiki ehiku no Rahela, no kau kaikamahine muli iho.
19Laban replied, “Better that I give her to you than to another. Stay here with me.”
19I mai la o Labana, E aho no'u ke haawi aku ia ia nau, aole na ke kanaka e ae; e noho pu oe me au.
20So Jacob served seven years for Rachel, yet it seemed but a few days because of his love for her.
20Hooikaika aku la o Iakoba i na makahiki ehiku no Rahela; a he mau la uuku wale no ia i kona manao, no kona aloha ia ia.
21Finally Jacob said to Laban, “Grant me my wife, for my time is complete, and I want to sleep with her.”
21I aku la o Iakoba ia Labana, E haawi mai oe i ka'u wahine, i komo ai au iloko io na la, no ka mea, ua hala ae nei ko'u mau la.
22So Laban invited all the men of that place and prepared a feast.
22Houluulu ae la o Labana i na kanaka a pau o ia wahi, a hana iho la i ka ahaaina,
23But when evening came, Laban took his daughter Leah and gave her to Jacob, and he slept with her.
23A ahiahi iho la, lalau aku la ia i kana kaikamahine ia Lea, a lawe mai la ia ia io Iakoba la, a komo aku la ia io na la.
24And Laban gave his servant girl Zilpah to his daughter Leah as her maidservant.
24Haawi aku la o Labana ia Zilepa i kona kaikamahine i kauwawahine na kana kaikamahine na Lea.
25When morning came, there was Leah! “What have you done to me?” Jacob said to Laban. “Wasn’t it for Rachel that I served you? Why have you deceived me?”
25A ao ae la, aia hoi, o Lea ka ia: i aku la o Iakoba ia Labana, Heaha keia mea au i hana mai ai ia'u? aole anei o Rahela ka'u i hooikaika aku ai nau? No ke aha hoi oe i hoopunipuni mai ai ia'u?
26Laban replied, “It is not our custom here to give the younger daughter in marriage before the older.
26I mai la o Labana, Aole pela e pono ke hana ma ko makou aina, ke haawi e aku i ka hanau hope mamua o ka hanau mua.
27Finish this week’s celebration, and we will give you the younger one in return for another seven years of work.”
27E hoopau oe i ko ia nei hebedoma, alaila e haawi hoi makou ia Rahela nau, no ka hooikaika ana au e hooikaika ai me au, i na makahiki hou aku i ehiku.
28And Jacob did just that. He finished the week’s celebration, and Laban gave him his daughter Rachel as his wife.
28Pela no o Iakoba i hana aku ai, a hoopau ae la i ko ia la hebedoma: a haawi aku la hoi oia ia Rahela i kana kaikamahine i wahine nana.
29Laban also gave his servant girl Bilhah to his daughter Rachel as her maidservant.
29Haawi mai la o Labana ia Bileha i kona kaikamahine, i kauwawahine na Rahela, na kana kaikamahine.
30Jacob slept with Rachel as well, and indeed, he loved Rachel more than Leah. So he worked for Laban another seven years.
30Komo aku la hoi oia io Rahela la, a oi aku la kona aloha ia Rahela mamua o kona aloha ia Lea; a hooikaika aku la ia me Labana i na makahiki hou aku i ehiku.
31When the LORD saw that Leah was unloved, He opened her womb; but Rachel was barren.
31A ike iho la o Iehova, ua hoowahawahaia o Lea, hoohua iho la ia i kona opu: aka, ua pa o Rahela.
32And Leah conceived and gave birth to a son, and she named him Reuben, for she said, “The LORD has seen my affliction. Surely my husband will love me now.”
32Hapai iho la o Lea, a hanau mai la he keikikane, a kapa iho la ia i kona inoa o I Reubena: no ka mea, i mai la ia, He oiaio, ua nana mai o Iehova i kuu popilikia; ano hoi, e aloha mai auanei ka'u kane ia'u.
33Again she conceived and gave birth to a son, and she said, “Because the LORD has heard that I am unloved, He has given me this son as well.” So she named him Simeon.
33Hapai hou iho la ia, a hanau mai la he keikikane; i mai la, No ka mea, ua lohe o Iehova i kuu hoowahawahaia, nolaila, ua haawi mai hoi oia i keia keikikane: kapa iho la ia i kona inoa, o I Simeona.
34Once again Leah conceived and gave birth to a son, and she said, “Now at last my husband will become attached to me, because I have borne him three sons.” So he was named Levi.
34Hapai hou iho la ia, a hanau mai la, he keikikane; i mai la, I keia manawa no, e hoopiliia mai auanei ka'u kane ia'u; no ka mea, ua hanau no wau i na keikikane ekolu nana: no ia mea i kapaia'i kona inoa, o I Levi.
35And once more she conceived and gave birth to a son and said, “This time I will praise the LORD.” So she named him Judah. Then Leah stopped having children.
35Hapai hou iho la ia, a hanau mai la he keikikane: i mai la ia, Ano no, e hoolea aku wau ia Iehova; nolaila, kapa iho la ia i kona inoa, o I Iuda; a oki iho la kona hanau ana.
