創世記 31
1 雅各伯聽見拉班的兒子們談論說：「雅各伯奪去了我們父親所有的一切，利用我們父親的財物，才獲得了這一切的財富。」
And Iacob herde the wordes of Labas sonnes how they sayde: Iacob hath take awaye all that was oure fathers and of oure fathers goodes hath he gote all this honoure.
2 雅各伯也注意了拉班對自己的臉色不如先前。
And Iacob behelde the countenauce of Laban that it was not toward him as it was in tymes past.
3 那時，上主對雅各伯說：「你回到你的家鄉和你的出生地，我必與你同在。」
And the LORde sayde vnto Iacob: turne agayne in to the lade of thy fathers and to thy kynred and I wilbe with ye.
4 雅各伯就派人叫辣黑耳和肋阿來到放羊的田間，
Tha Iacob sent and called Rahel and Lea to the felde vnto his shepe
5 對她們說：「我看你們父親的臉色，對我已不如先前；但是我父親的天主卻與我同在。
and sayde vnto the: I se youre fathers countenauce yt it is not toward me as in tymes past. Morouer ye God of my father hath bene with me.
6 你們清楚知道，我是全力服事了你們的父親；
And ye knowe how that I haue serued youre father with all my myghte.
7 你們的父親卻欺騙了我，十次變換了我的工價，但天住卻沒有容許他害我。
And youre father hath disceaued me and chaunged my wages. x. tymes: But God suffred him not to hurte me.
8 當他說：有斑點的算是你的工價；全羊群就都生下有斑點的；當他說：有條紋的算是你的工價，全羊群就都生下有條紋的。
When he sayde the spotted shalbe thy wages tha all the shepe barespotted. Yf he sayde the straked shalbe thi rewarde tha bare all the shepe straked:
9 天主這樣將你們父親的牲畜奪來了給我。
thus hath God take awaye youre fathers catell and geue the me.
10 有一次當羊群配合時，我於夢中舉目觀望：看見跳在母羊身上的公山羊，都是有條紋，有斑點和雜色的。
For in buckynge tyme I lifted vp myne eyes and sawe in a dreame: and beholde the rammes that bucked the shepe were straked spotted and partie.
11 天主的使者在夢中對我說：雅各伯! 我答說：我在這裏。
And the angell of God spake vnto me in a dreame saynge: Iacob. And I answered: here am I.
12 他說：你舉目觀望：跳在母羊身上的公山羊，都是有條紋，有斑點和雜色的，因為我看到了拉班對你所作的一切。
And he sayde: lyfte vp thyne eyes ad see how all therames that leape vpon the shepe are straked spotted and partie: for I haue sene all that Laban doth vnto ye.
13 我是貝特耳的天主，你曾在那裏用油敷了一座石柱，並對我許了願。現在你起身，離開這地方，回到你生身之地去。」
I am ye god of Bethell where thou anoynteddest the stone ad where thou vowdest a vowe vnto me. Now aryse and gett the out of this countre ad returne vnto the lade where thou wast borne.
14 辣黑耳和肋阿回答他說：「我們在父親家裏還有產業可分嗎﹖
Than answered Rahel and Lea and sayde vnto him: we haue no parte nor enheritaunce in oure fathers house
15 他豈不是把我們視作外人，把我們出賣了，吞併了我們的身價﹖
he cownteth us eue as straungers for he hath solde vs and hath euen eaten vp the price of vs.
16 所以天主由我們父親奪來的那一切財物，都應屬於我們和我們子女。現今凡天主吩咐你的，你都該照辦。
Moreouer all the riches which God hath take from oure father that is oures and oure childerns. Now therfore what soeuer God hath sayde vnto the that doo.
17 雅各伯遂立即叫自己的兒女和妻子騎上駱駝，
Tha Iacob rose vp and sett his sones and wiues vp vpon camels
18 帶了自己一切牲畜和積聚的一切財物，即他在帕丹阿蘭所得的一切牲畜，起程往客納罕地，他父親依撒格那裏去了。
and caried away all his catell and all his substace which he had gotte in Mesopotamia for to goo to Isaac his father vnto the lade of Canaan.
19 其時拉班正剪羊毛去了，辣黑耳就偷走了她父親的神像。
Laba was gone to shere his shepe and Rahel had stolle hir fathers ymages.
20 雅各伯隱瞞了阿蘭人拉班，沒有告訴拉班他將逃走，
And Iacob went awaye vnknowynge to Laban the Sirie and tolde him not yt he fled.
21 遂帶了自己所有的一切逃走了，起身過了幼發拉的河，直向基肋阿得山地進發。
So fled he and all yt he had and made him self redy and passed ouer the ryuers and sett his face streyght towarde the mounte Gilead.
22 第三天拉班得報雅各伯偷跑了，
Apo the thirde day after was it tolde Laba yt Iacob was fled.
23 遂帶了自己的弟兄，在他後面一連追趕了七天的路程，在基肋阿得山地追上了他。
Tha he toke his brethre with him and folowed after him. vij. dayes iourney and ouer toke him at the mounte Gilead.
24 天主在夜間夢中顯現給阿蘭人拉班，對他說：「你小心，不要對雅各伯說好說壞。」
And God came to Laba the Siria in a dreame by nyghte and sayde vnto him: take hede to thi selfe that thou speake not to Iacob oughte save good.
25 拉班追上雅各伯時，雅各伯已在山上搭了帳幕；拉班和他的弟兄也在基肋阿得山地搭了帳幕。
And Laba ouer toke Iacob: and Iacob had pitched his tete in yt mounte. And Laban with his brethern pitched their tete also apon the mounte Gilead.
26 拉班對雅各伯說：「你作的是什麼事﹖竟瞞著我，將我的女兒們帶走，有如戰俘一樣!
Than sayde Laba to Iacob: why hast thou this done vnknowynge to me and hast caried awaye my doughters as though they had bene take captyue with swerde?
27 你為什麼暗中偷跑，瞞著我而不通知我，叫我好能快樂的唱著歌，打著鼓，彈著琴歡送你回去﹖
Wherfore wentest thou awaye secretly vnknowne to me and didest not tell me yt I myghte haue broughte yt on the waye with myrth syngynge tymrells and harppes
28 連我的兒女你都不讓我與他們吻別，你作的實在糊塗!
and hast not suffred me to kysse my childern and my doughters. Thou wast a fole to do
29 我本可伸手加害你們，但是你們父親的天主昨夜對我說：小心，不要對雅各伯說好說壞。
it for I am able to do you evell. But the God of youre father spake vnto me yesterdaye saynge take hede tha thou speake not to Iacob oughte saue goode.
30 你現在切望回到父家，定要回去，但是你為什麼偷走了我的神像! 」
And now though thou wetest thi waye because thou logest after thi fathers house yet wherfore hast thou stollen my goddes?
31 雅各伯回答拉班說：「我害怕，我還以為你要由我手中奪去你的女兒。
Iacob answered and sayde to Laba: because I was afrayed and thought that thou woldest haue take awaye thy doughters fro me.
32 至於你的神像，你在誰那裏搜出來，決不容他活著；當著我們弟兄的面，你如認出我這裏有什麼是屬於你的，儘管拿去。」雅各伯原不知道是辣黑耳偷了神像。
But with whome soeuer thou fyndest thy goddes let him dye here before oure brethre. Seke that thine is by me and take it to the: for Iacob wist not that Rahel had stolle the.
33 拉班便進入雅各伯的帳幕，肋阿的帳幕和兩個婢女的帳幕，沒有找著；遂由肋阿的帳幕出來，進入辣黑耳的帳幕，
Tha wet Laba in to Iacobs tete and in to Leas tete and in to. ij. maydens tentes: but fownde the not. Tha wet he out of Leas tete and entred in to Rahels tete.
34 辣黑耳卻拿了神像，放在駱駝的鞍下，自己坐在上面。拉班搜遍了整個帳幕，沒有找著。
And Rahel toke the ymages and put them in the camels strawe and sate doune apo the. And Laba serched all the tete: but fownde the not.
35 辣黑耳對她父親說：「望我主不要見怪，我不能在你面前起迎，因為我正在經期。」他搜索了，卻沒有找著神像。
Tha sayde she to hir father: my lorde be not angrye yt I ca not ryse vp before the for the disease of weme is come apon me. So searched he but foude the not.
36 雅各伯於是動怒，與拉班爭論，質問他說：「我有什麼不對，有什麼罪過，致使你在我後面追趕﹖
Iacob was wrooth and chode with Laba: Iacob also answered and sayde to him: what haue I trespaced or what haue I offended that thou foloweddest after me?
37 你搜遍了我的東西，如找出了什麼東西是屬於你家的，擺在我和你的兄弟面前，叫他們在我們兩人間行裁判。
Thou hast searched all my stuffe and what hast thou founde of all thy housholde stuffe? put it here before thi brethern and myne and let the iudge betwyxte vs both.
38 這二十年來，我同你在一起，你的母綿羊和母山羊從未流產；你羊群中的公羊，我從未吃過；
This xx. yere yt I haue bene wyth the thy shepe and thy gootes haue not bene baren and the rammes of thi flocke haue I not eate.
39 被野獸撕裂的我從未給你帶回，我自己賠償了損失；不論是白天偷去的，或是黑夜偷去的，你都向我索取。
What soeuer was torne of beastes I broughte it not vnto ye but made it good mysilf: of my hade dydest thou requyre it whether it was stollen by daye or nyghte
40 日間我受盡炎熱，夜間受盡嚴寒，兩眼無法入睡。在你家內這二十年，為了你的兩個女兒，我服事了你十四年；
Moreouer by daye the hete consumed me and the colde by nyghte and my slepe departed fro myne eyes.
41 另六年是為了你的羊群，這期間你竟十次變更了我的工價。
Thus haue I bene. xx. yere in thi house and serued the. xiiij. yeres forthy. ij. doughters and vi. yere for thi shepe and thou hast changed my rewarde. x. tymes.
42 假若我父的天主，亞巴郎的天主，依撒格所敬畏的上主，不同我在一起，你現在定會打發我空手回去；但是天主見到了我的苦況和我的辛苦，在昨夜就下了判決。」
And excepte the God of my father the God of Abraha and the God whome Isaac feareth had bene with me: surely thou haddest sent me awaye now all emptie. But God behelde my tribulation and the laboure of my handes: and rebuked the yester daye.
43 拉班回答雅各伯說：「女兒是我的女兒，孩子是我的孩子，羊群是我的羊群，你眼見的這一切都是我的。但是對我的女兒，對她們生的孩子，我今天能作什麼呢﹖
Laban answered ad sayde vnto Iacob: the doughters are my doughters and the childern ar my childern and the shepe are my shepe ad all that thou seist is myne. And what can I do this daye vnto these my doughters or vnto their childern which they haue borne?
44 現在，來，讓我們在你我之間立約，作你我之間的證據。」
Now therfore come on let us make a bonde I and thou together and let it be a wytnesse betwene the and me.
45 雅各伯遂拿了一塊石頭，立作石柱，
Than toke Iacob a stone and sett it vp an ende
46 然後對自己的親戚說：「你們堆集石頭。」他們便拿了石頭，堆成一堆，就在那堆石頭上吃了飯。
ad sayde vnto his brethern gather stoones And they toke stoones ad made an heape and they ate there vpo the heape.
47 拉班稱那石堆為「耶加爾、撒哈杜達；」雅各伯稱為「基肋阿得」
And Laba called it Iegar Sahadutha but Iacob called it Gylead.
48 拉班說：「今天這堆石頭在你和我之間作見證。」為此給它起名叫「基肋阿得。」
Than sayde Laban: this heape be witnesse betwene the and me this daye (therfore is it called Gilead)
49 又叫作「米茲帕，」因為他說：「我們彼此分離後，願上主監視我和你：
and this totehill which the lorde seeth (sayde he) be wytnesse betwene me and the when we are departed one from a nother:
50 如果你虐待我的女兒，或在我的女兒外，另娶妻室，雖無人在我們中間，但有天主在你我之間作證。」
that thou shalt not vexe my doughters nether shalt take other wyves vnto them. Here is no man with vs: beholde God is wytnesse betwixte the and me.
51 拉班又對雅各伯說：「看這堆石頭，看我在你我之間所立的石柱：
And Laban sayde moreouer to Iacob: beholde this heape and this marke which I haue sett here betwyxte me and the:
52 這堆石頭是見證，這石柱是見證，我決不越過這堆石頭去妨害你，你也不要越過這堆石頭和這石柱來妨害我。
this heape be wytnesse and also this marcke that I will not come ouer this heape to the ad thou shalt not come ouer this heape ad this marke to do any harme.
53 但願亞巴郎的天主和納曷爾的天主，－－即他們父親的天主，－－在我們之間行裁判! 」雅各伯就指自己的父親依撒格所敬畏的上主起了誓。
The God of Abraham the God of Nahor and the God of theyr fathers be iudge betwixte vs. And Iacob sware by him that his father Isaac feared.
54 然後雅各伯在山上宰牲獻祭，叫了自己的親戚來吃飯；吃飯以後就在山上過了夜。
Then Iacob dyd sacrifyce vpon the mounte and called his brethern to eate breed. And they ate breed and taried all nyghte in the hyll.
55 拉班清早起來，與自己的外孫和女兒吻別，祝福了他們，便起身回本鄉去了。
And early in the mornynge Laban rose vp and kyssed his childern and his doughters and blessed the and departed and wet vnto his place agayne.
