¹And when Rachel saw that she bare Jacob no children, Rachel envied her sister; and said unto Jacob, Give me children, or else I die.

¹¶ A, no te kitenga o Rahera kahore i whanau tetahi tama ma raua ko Hakopa, ka hae a Rahera ki tona tuakana; a ka mea ia ki a Hakopa, Kia whai tamariki ahau, ki te kahore, ka mate ahau.

²And 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?

²Na ka mura ake te riri a Hakopa ki a Rahera: ka mea ia, Ko te atua ranei ahau e kaiponu atu nei i te hua mo tou kopu?

³And she said, Behold my maid Bilhah, go in unto her; and she shall bear upon my knees, that I may also have children by her.

³Na ka mea tera, Na taku pononga wahine, a Piriha, haere ki roto, ki a ia; kia whanau ai ia ki runga ki oku turi, a mana ka whai tamariki ai ahau.

⁴And she gave him Bilhah her handmaid to wife: and Jacob went in unto her.

⁴Na ka homai e ia a Piriha, tana pononga wahine, ki a ia hei wahine, a ka haere atu a Hakopa ki roto, ki a ia.

⁵And Bilhah conceived, and bare Jacob a son.

⁵Na ka hapu a Piriha, a ka whanau ta raua tama ko Hakopa.

⁶And Rachel said, God hath judged me, and hath also heard my voice, and hath given me a son: therefore called she his name Dan.

⁶Na ka mea a Rahera, Kua whakarite te Atua i taku whakawakanga, kua rongo ano ki toku reo, kua homai hoki e ia tetahi tama ki ahau: na reira i huaina ai e ia tona ingoa ko Rana.

⁷And Bilhah Rachel's maid conceived again, and bare Jacob a second son.

⁷Na ka hapu ano a Piriha, te pononga wahine a Rahera, a ka whanau te rua o a raua tama, ko Hakopa.

⁸And Rachel said, With great wrestlings have I wrestled with my sister, and I have prevailed: and she called his name Naphtali.

⁸Na ka mea a Rahera, Nui whakaharahara nga nonoketanga i nonoke ai maua ko toku tuakana, a taea ana ia e ahau: na huaina iho e ia tona ingoa ko Napatari.

⁹When Leah saw that she had left bearing, she took Zilpah her maid, and gave her Jacob to wife.

⁹I te kitenga o Rea ka mutu ia te whanau ka tango ia i a Tiripa, i tana pononga wahine, a hoatu ana e ia ki a Hakopa hei wahine.

¹⁰And Zilpah Leah's maid bare Jacob a son.

¹⁰Na ka whanau te tama a Hakopa raua ko Tiripa, pononga a Rea.

¹¹And Leah said, A troop cometh: and she called his name Gad.

¹¹A ka mea a Rea, He waimarie! Na huaina ana e ia tona ingoa ko Kara.

¹²And Zilpah Leah's maid bare Jacob a second son.

¹²Na ka whanau te rua o nga tama a Hakopa raua ko Tiripa, pononga a Rea.

¹³And Leah said, Happy am I, for the daughters will call me blessed: and she called his name Asher.

¹³A ka mea a Rea, E hari ana ahau, ka kiia nei hoki ahau e nga tamahine he mea hari: a huaina ana e ia tona ingoa ko Ahera.

¹⁴And 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.

¹⁴¶ Na ka haere a Reupena i nga ra o te kotinga witi, a ka kite i etahi manitareki i te koraha, a kawea ana e ia ki a Rea, ki tona whaea. A ka mea atu a Rahera ki a Rea, Tena koa maku etahi o nga manitareki a tau tama.

¹⁵And she said unto her, Is it a small matter that thou hast taken 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.

¹⁵Na ko te meatanga a tera ki a ia, He mea nohinohi ianei tau tangohanga i taku tahu? a me tango ano koe i nga manitareki a taku tama? A ka mea atu a Rahera, Na, me takoto ia ki a koe i tenei po hei utu mo nga manitareki a tau tama.

¹⁶And Jacob came out of the field in the evening, and Leah went out to meet him, and said, Thou must come in unto me; for surely I have hired thee with my son's mandrakes. And he lay with her that night.

¹⁶A i te ahiahi ka, haere mai a Hakopa i te mara, na 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 nga manitareki a taku tama. Na ka takoto ia ki a ia i taua po.

¹⁷And God hearkened unto Leah, and she conceived, and bare Jacob the fifth son.

¹⁷I whakarongo hoki te Atua ki a Rea, a ka hapu ia, a ka whanau te tokorima o a raua tama ko Hakopa.

¹⁸And Leah said, God hath given me my hire, because I have given my maiden to my husband: and she called his name Issachar.

¹⁸Na ka mea a Rea, Kua homai e te Atua toku utu, moku i hoatu i taku pononga ki taku tahu: a huaina ana e ia tona ingoa ko Ihakara.

¹⁹And Leah conceived again, and bare Jacob the sixth son.

¹⁹Na ka hapu ano a Rea, a ka whanau te tokoono o a raua tama ko Hakopa.

²⁰And Leah said, God hath endued me with a good dowry; now will my husband dwell with me, because I have born him six sons: and she called his name Zebulun.

²⁰Na ka mea a Rea, He pai te hakari i homai nei e te Atua ki ahau; katahi taku tahu ka noho ki ahau, mo te whanautanga o a maua tama tokoono: a huaina ana e ia tona ingoa ko Hepurona.

²¹And afterwards she bare a daughter, and called her name Dinah.

²¹A muri iho ka whanau he kotiro, a huaina ana e ia tona ingoa ko Rina.

²²And God remembered Rachel, and God hearkened to her, and opened her womb.

²²A i mahara te Atua ki a Rahera, i whakarongo hoki te Atua ki a ia, a whakatuwheratia ana e ia tona kopu.

²³And she conceived, and bare a son; and said, God hath taken away my reproach:

²³Na ka hapu ia, a ka whanau he tama; a ka mea ia, Kua whakamutua e te Atua toku tawainga:

²⁴And she called his name Joseph; and said, The LORD shall add to me another son.

²⁴Na huaina ana e ia tona ingoa ko Hohepa: a ka mea, Ka tapiritia mai e Ihowa tetahi atu tama maku.

²⁵And it came to pass, when Rachel had born Joseph, that Jacob said unto Laban, Send me away, that I may go unto mine own place, and to my country.

²⁵¶ Na, ka whanau ra a Hohepa i a Rahera, ka mea a Hakopa ki a Rapana, Tukua ahau, kia haere ai ahau ki toku ake wahi, ki toku whenua.

²⁶Give me my wives and my children, for whom I have served thee, and let me go: for thou knowest my service which I have done thee.

²⁶Homai aku wahine me aku tamariki i mahi ai ahau ki a koe, a ka haere ahau: e mohio ana hoki koe ki taku mahi i mahi ai ahau ki a koe.

²⁷And Laban said unto him, I pray thee, if I have found favor in thine eyes, tarry: for I have learned by experience that the LORD hath blessed me for thy sake.

²⁷Na ka mea a Rapana ki a ia, Ki te mea e manakohia ana anau e koe, e noho: kua kite hoki ahau nau i manaakitia ai ahau e Ihowa.

²⁸And he said, Appoint me thy wages, and I will give it.

²⁸I mea ano ia, Whakaritea ki ahau te utu mou, a ka hoatu e ahau.

²⁹And he said unto him, Thou knowest how I have served thee, and how thy cattle was with me.

²⁹A ka mea ia ki a ia, E mohio ana koe ki taku mahinga ki a koe, ki au kararehe hoki i ahau, to ratou peheatanga.

³⁰For it was little which thou hadst before I came, and it is now increased unto a multitude; and the LORD hath blessed thee since my coming: and now when shall I provide for mine own house also?

³⁰I mua atu hoki i ahau he iti au mea, na kua nui noa atu tenei; a kua manaakitia koe e Ihowa ahakoa tahuri ahau ki hea, ki hea: na inaianei ahea ranei ahau mea ai hoki i tetahi mea mo toku ake whare?

³¹And he said, What shall I give thee? And Jacob said, Thou shalt not give me any thing: if thou wilt do this thing for me, I will again feed and keep thy flock.

³¹A ka mea tera, Ko te aha taku e hoatu ai ki a koe? A ka mea a Hakopa, Kaua e homai tetahi mea ki ahau: ki te meatia mai e koe tenei mea aku, ka whangai ano ahau, ka tiaki i au hipi.

³²I will pass through all thy flock to day, removing from thence all the speckled and spotted cattle, and all the brown cattle among the sheep, and the spotted and speckled among the goats: and of such shall be my hire.

³²Ka tika ahau na waenganui i tau kahui katoa akuanei, a ka wehea i reira nga mea whai tongitongi katoa, nga mea purepure, me nga mea pakaka katoa i roto i nga hipi, me nga purepure, me nga mea whai tongitongi i roto i nga koati: a ko era hei utu moku.

³³So shall my righteousness answer for me in time to come, when it shall come for my hire before thy face: every one that is not speckled and spotted among the goats, and brown among the sheep, that shall be counted stolen with me.

³³Penei ka whakatikaia ahau e toku tika apopo ake nei, ina tae atu ki tou aroaro ki te utu moku: ko nga mea i roto i nga koati kahore nei he tongitongi, kahore he purepure, me nga mea kahore e pakaka i roto i nga hipi, he mea tahae tena naku.

³⁴And Laban said, Behold, I would it might be according to thy word.

³⁴Na ka mea a Rapana, Ae, pai tonu kia pena me tau i ki mai na.

³⁵And he removed that day the he goats that were ring-streaked and spotted, and all the she goats that were speckled and spotted, and every one that had some white in it, and all the brown among the sheep, and gave them into the hand of his sons.

³⁵Na ka wehea e ia i taua rangi nga koati toa, nga mea whakahekeheke, me nga mea purepure, me nga koati uha e whai tongitongi ana, me nga mea purepure, nga mea he ma tetahi wahi, me nga mea pakaka o nga hipi, a hoatu ana ki nga ringa o ana tama;

³⁶And he set three days' journey betwixt himself and Jacob: and Jacob fed the rest of Laban's flocks.

³⁶Na ka whakatakiwatia e ia he takiwa i waenganui i a ia, i a Hakopa, kia toru nga ra e haerea ai; a ka whangai a Hakopa i nga hipi a Rapana i mahue iho.

³⁷And Jacob took him rods of green poplar, and of the hazel and chestnut tree; and pilled white streaks in them, and made the white appear which was in the rods.

³⁷¶ Katahi ka tikina e Hakopa etahi rakau mana, he papara mata, he aramona, he pereni; a tihorea ana e ia etahi tihorenga ma i aua mea, a ka meinga kia ata kitea te wahi ma o nga rakau.

³⁸And he set the rods which he had pilled before the flocks in the gutters in the watering troughs when the flocks came to drink, that they should conceive when they came to drink.

³⁸A i whakaturia e ia aua rakau i tihorea ra ki roto ki nga hake, ki roto ki nga waka wai, kia taurite mai ki nga hipi, ina haere nga hipi ki te inu; i whakahaputia hoki i te haerenga ki te inu.

³⁹And the flocks conceived before the rods, and brought forth cattle ring-streaked, speckled, and spotted.

³⁹Na ka whakahaputia nga kahui ki mau i nga rakau, a he whakahekeheke, he mea tongitongi, he purepure nga kuao i whanau.

⁴⁰And Jacob did separate the lambs, and set the faces of the flocks toward the ring-streaked, and all the brown in the flock of Laban; and he put his own flocks by themselves, and put them not unto Laban's cattle.

⁴⁰Na ka wehea atu nga reme e Hakopa, a whakaangahia ana e ia nga kanohi o nga kahui ki nga mea whakahekeheke, ki nga mea pakaka katoa i roto i te kahui a Rapana; na ko ana ake kahui i wehea e ia ki te whanga, kihai hoki i tukua ki roto ki te kahui a Rapana.

⁴¹And it came to pass, whensoever the stronger cattle did conceive, that Jacob laid the rods before the eyes of the cattle in the gutters, that they might conceive among the rods.

⁴¹Na, i nga wa katoa e whakahaputia ai nga mea kaha o te kahui ka whakaturia e Hakopa nga rakau ki te tirohanga a te kahui, ki roto ki nga hake, kia whakahaputia ai ratou ki waenga i nga rakau;

⁴²But when the cattle were feeble, he put them not in: so the feebler were Laban's, and the stronger Jacob's.

⁴²A ki te mea he ngoikore te kahui, kihai i whakaturia e ia: na i a Rapana nga mea ngoikore, a i a Hakopa nga mea kaha.

⁴³And the man increased exceedingly, and had much cattle, and maidservants, and menservants, and camels, and asses.

⁴³Na ka tino nui haere rawa taua tangata, a ka whai kahui nunui ano ia, me nga pononga wahine, me nga pononga tane, me nga kamera, me nga kaihe.
