創世記 31
1 雅各聽見拉班的兒子們有話說：「雅各把我們父親所有的都奪了去，並藉着我們父親的，得了這一切的榮耀。」
Now he heard the words of Labans sonnes, saying, Iaakob hath taken away all that was our fathers, and of our fathers goods hath he gotten all this honour.
2 雅各見拉班的氣色向他不如從前了。
Also Iaakob beheld the countenance of Laban, that it was not towards him as in times past:
3 耶和華對雅各說：「你要回你祖、你父之地，到你親族那裏去，我必與你同在。」
And the Lord had said vnto Iaakob, Turne againe into the lande of thy fathers, and to thy kinred, and I wilbe with thee.
4 雅各就打發人，叫拉結和利亞到田野羊群那裏來，
Therefore Iaakob sent and called Rahel and Leah to the fielde vnto his flocke.
5 對她們說：「我看你們父親的氣色向我不如從前了；但我父親的上帝向來與我同在。
Then sayde hee vnto them, I see your fathers countenance, that it is not towardes me as it was wont, and the God of my father hath bene with me.
6 你們也知道，我盡了我的力量服事你們的父親。
And yee knowe that I haue serued your father with all my might.
7 你們的父親欺哄我，十次改了我的工價；然而上帝不容他害我。
But your father hath deceiued me, and changed my wages tenne times: but God suffred him not to hurt me.
8 他若說：『有點的歸你作工價』，羊群所生的都有點；他若說：『有紋的歸你作工價』，羊群所生的都有紋。
If he thus sayd, The spotted shall be thy wages, then all the sheepe bare spotted: and if he sayd thus, the party coloured shalbe thy rewarde, then bare all the sheepe particoloured.
9 這樣，上帝把你們父親的牲畜奪來賜給我了。
Thus hath God taken away your fathers substance, and giuen it me.
10 羊配合的時候，我夢中舉目一看，見跳母羊的公羊都是有紋的、有點的、有花斑的。
For in ramming time I lifted vp mine eyes and saw in a dreame, and beholde, ye hee goates leaped vpon the shee goates, that were partie coloured with litle and great spots spotted.
11 上帝的使者在那夢中呼叫我說：『雅各。』我說：『我在這裏。』
And the Angel of God sayde to mee in a dreame, Iaakob. And I answered, Lo, I am here.
12 他說：『你舉目觀看，跳母羊的公羊都是有紋的、有點的、有花斑的；凡拉班向你所做的，我都看見了。
And he sayde, Lift vp nowe thine eyes, and see all the hee goates leaping vpon ye shee goates that are partie coloured, spotted with litle and great spots: for I haue seene all that Laban doeth vnto thee.
13 我是伯特利的上帝；你在那裏用油澆過柱子，向我許過願。現今你起來，離開這地，回你本地去吧！』」
I am the God of Beth-el, where thou anoyntedst the pillar, where thou vowedst a vowe vnto me. Nowe arise, get thee out of this countrey and returne vnto ye land where thou wast borne.
14 拉結和利亞回答雅各說：「在我們父親的家裏還有我們可得的分嗎？還有我們的產業嗎？
Then answered Rahel and Leah, and sayde vnto him, Haue wee any more porcion and inheritance in our fathers house?
15 我們不是被他當作外人嗎？因為他賣了我們，吞了我們的價值。
Doeth not he count vs as strangers? for he hath solde vs, and hath eaten vp and consumed our money.
16 上帝從我們父親所奪出來的一切財物，那就是我們和我們孩子們的。現今凡上帝所吩咐你的，你只管去行吧！」
Therefore all the riches, which God hath taken from our father, is ours and our childrens: nowe then whatsoeuer God hath saide vnto thee, doe it.
17 雅各起來，使他的兒子和妻子都騎上駱駝，
Then Iaakob rose vp, and set his sonnes and his wiues vpon camels.
18 又帶着他在巴旦‧亞蘭所得的一切牲畜和財物，往迦南地、他父親以撒那裏去了。
And he caried away all his flockes, and al his substance which he had gotten, to wit, his riches, which he had gotten in Padan Aram, to goe to Izhak his father vnto the land of Canaan.
19 當時拉班剪羊毛去了，拉結偷了他父親家中的神像。
Whe Laban was gone to shere his sheepe, Then Rahel stole her fathers idoles.
20 雅各背着亞蘭人拉班偷走了，並不告訴他，
Thus Iaakob stole away ye heart of Laban the Aramite: for he told him not that he fled.
21 就帶着所有的逃跑。他起身過大河，面向基列山行去。
So fled he with all that he had, and he rose vp, and passed the riuer, and set his face towarde mount Gilead.
22 到第三日，有人告訴拉班，雅各逃跑了。
And the third day after was it told Laban, that Iaakob fled.
23 拉班帶領他的眾弟兄去追趕，追了七日，在基列山就追上了。
Then he tooke his brethren with him, and followed after him seuen dayes iourney, and ouertooke him at mount Gilead.
24 夜間，上帝到亞蘭人拉班那裏，在夢中對他說：「你要小心，不可與雅各說好說歹。」
And God came to Laban the Aramite in a dreame by night, and sayde vnto him, Take heede that thou speake not to Iaakob ought saue good.
25 拉班追上雅各。雅各在山上支搭帳棚；拉班和他的眾弟兄也在基列山上支搭帳棚。
Then Laban ouertooke Iaakob, and Iaakob had pitched his tent in the mount: and Laban also with his brethren pitched vpon mount Gilead.
26 拉班對雅各說：「你做的是甚麼事呢？你背着我偷走了，又把我的女兒們帶了去，如同用刀劍擄去的一般。
Then Laban sayde to Iaakob, What hast thou done? thou hast euen stolen away mine heart and caried away my daughters as though they had bene taken captiues with the sworde.
27 你為甚麼暗暗地逃跑，偷着走，並不告訴我，叫我可以歡樂、唱歌、擊鼓、彈琴地送你回去？
Wherfore diddest thou flie so secretly and steale away from me, and diddest not tel me, that I might haue sent thee foorth with mirth and with songs, with timbrel and with harpe?
28 又不容我與外孫和女兒親嘴？你所行的真是愚昧！
But thou hast not suffered me to kisse my sonnes and my daughters: nowe thou hast done foolishly in doing so.
29 我手中原有能力害你，只是你父親的上帝昨夜對我說：『你要小心，不可與雅各說好說歹。』
I am able to do you euill: but the God of your father spake vnto me yesternight, saying, Take heed that thou speake not to Iaakob ought saue good.
30 現在你雖然想你父家，不得不去，為甚麼又偷了我的神像呢？」
Nowe though thou wentest thy way, because thou greatly longedst after thy fathers house, yet wherefore hast thou stollen my gods?
31 雅各回答拉班說：「恐怕你把你的女兒從我奪去，所以我逃跑。
Then Iaakob answered, and said to Laban, Because I was afraid, and thought that thou wouldest haue taken thy daughters from me.
32 至於你的神像，你在誰那裏搜出來，就不容誰存活。當着我們的眾弟兄，你認一認，在我這裏有甚麼東西是你的，就拿去。」原來雅各不知道拉結偷了那些神像。
But with whome thou findest thy gods, let him not liue. Search thou before our brethre what I haue of thine, and take it to thee, (but Iaakob wist not that Rahel had stolen them)
33 拉班進了雅各、利亞，並兩個使女的帳棚，都沒有搜出來，就從利亞的帳棚出來，進了拉結的帳棚。
Then came Laban into Iaakobs tent, and into Leahs tent, and into the two maides tentes, but founde them not. So hee went out of Leahs tent, and entred into Rahels tent.
34 拉結已經把神像藏在駱駝的馱簍裏，便坐在上頭。拉班摸遍了那帳棚，並沒有摸着。
(Nowe Rahel had taken the idoles, and put them in the camels litter and sate downe vpon them) and Laban searched al the tent, but found them not.
35 拉結對她父親說：「現在我身上不便，不能在你面前起來，求我主不要生氣。」這樣，拉班搜尋神像，竟沒有搜出來。
Then said she to her father, My Lord, be not angrie that I cannot rise vp before thee: for the custome of women is vpon me: so he searched, but found not the idoles.
36 雅各就發怒斥責拉班說：「我有甚麼過犯，有甚麼罪惡，你竟這樣火速地追我？
The Iaakob was wroth, and chode with Laban: Iaakob also answered and sayd to Laban, What haue I trespassed? what haue I offended, that thou hast pursued after me?
37 你摸遍了我一切的家具，你搜出甚麼來呢？可以放在你我弟兄面前，叫他們在你我中間辨別辨別。
Seeing thou hast searched all my stuffe, what hast thou foud of all thine houshold stuffe? put it here before my brethren and thy brethren, that they may iudge betweene vs both.
38 我在你家這二十年，你的母綿羊、母山羊沒有掉過胎。你群中的公羊，我沒有吃過；
This twenty yere I haue bin with thee: thine ewes and thy goates haue not cast their yong, and the rammes of thy flocke haue I not eaten.
39 被野獸撕裂的，我沒有帶來給你，是我自己賠上。無論是白日，是黑夜，被偷去的，你都向我索要。
Whatsoeuer was torne of beasts, I brought it not vnto thee, but made it good my selfe: of mine hand diddest thou require it, were it stollen by day or stollen by night.
40 我白日受盡乾熱，黑夜受盡寒霜，不得合眼睡着，我常是這樣。
I was in the day consumed with heate, and with frost in the night, and my sleepe departed from mine eyes.
41 我這二十年在你家裏，為你的兩個女兒服事你十四年，為你的羊群服事你六年，你又十次改了我的工價。
Thus haue I bene twentie yeere in thine house, and serued thee fourteene yeeres for thy two daughters, and sixe yeeres for thy sheepe, and thou hast changed my wages tenne times.
42 若不是我父親以撒所敬畏的上帝，就是亞伯拉罕的上帝與我同在，你如今必定打發我空手而去。上帝看見我的苦情和我的勞碌，就在昨夜責備你。」
Except the God of my father, the God of Abraham, and the feare of Izhak had bene with me, surely thou haddest sent me away nowe emptie: but God behelde my tribulation, and the labour of mine hads, and rebuked thee yester night.
43 拉班回答雅各說：「這女兒是我的女兒，這些孩子是我的孩子，這些羊群也是我的羊群；凡在你眼前的都是我的。我的女兒並她們所生的孩子，我今日能向他們做甚麼呢？
Then Laban answered, and saide vnto Iaakob, These daughters are my daughters, and these sonnes are my sonnes, and these sheepe are my sheepe, and all that thou seest, is mine, and what can I doe this day vnto these my daughters, or to their sonnes which they haue borne?
44 來吧！你我二人可以立約，作你我中間的證據。」
Nowe therefore come and let vs make a couenant, I and thou, which may be a witnes betweene me and thee.
45 雅各就拿一塊石頭立作柱子，
Then tooke Iaakob a stone, and set it vp as a pillar:
46 又對眾弟兄說：「你們堆聚石頭。」他們就拿石頭來堆成一堆，大家便在旁邊吃喝。
And Iaakob sayde vnto his brethren, Gather stones: who brought stones, and made an heape, and they did eate there vpon the heape.
47 拉班稱那石堆為伊迦爾‧撒哈杜他，雅各卻稱那石堆為迦累得。
And Laban called it Iegar-sahadutha, and Iaakob called it Galeed.
48 拉班說：「今日這石堆作你我中間的證據。」因此這地方名叫迦累得，
For Laban sayd, This heape is witnesse betweene me and thee this day: therefore he called the name of it Galeed.
49 又叫米斯巴，意思說：「我們彼此離別以後，願耶和華在你我中間鑒察。
Also he called it Mizpah, because he said, The Lord looke betweene me and thee, when we shalbe departed one from another,
50 你若苦待我的女兒，又在我的女兒以外另娶妻，雖沒有人知道，卻有上帝在你我中間作見證。」
If thou shalt vexe my daughters, or shalt take wiues beside my daughters: there is no man with vs, beholde, God is witnesse betweene me and thee.
51 拉班又說：「你看我在你我中間所立的這石堆和柱子。
Moreouer Laban sayd to Iaakob, Beholde this heape, and behold the pillar, which I haue set betweene me and thee,
52 這石堆作證據，這柱子也作證據。我必不過這石堆去害你；你也不可過這石堆和柱子來害我。
This heape shall be witnesse, and the pillar shall be witnesse, that I will not come ouer this heape to thee, and that thou shalt not passe ouer this heape and this pillar vnto me for euill.
53 但願亞伯拉罕的上帝和拿鶴的上帝，就是他們父親的上帝，在你我中間判斷。」雅各就指着他父親以撒所敬畏的上帝起誓，
The God of Abraham, and the God of Nabor, and the God of their father be iudge betweene vs: But Iaakob sware by the feare of his father Izhak.
54 又在山上獻祭，請眾弟兄來吃飯。他們吃了飯，便在山上住宿。
Then Iaakob did offer a sacrifice vpon the mount, and called his brethren to eate bread. and they did eate bread, and taried all night in the mount.
55 拉班清早起來，與他外孫和女兒親嘴，給他們祝福，回往自己的地方去了。
And earely in the morning Laban rose vp and kissed his sonnes and his daughters, and blessed them, and Laban departing, went vnto his place againe.
