Chakruok 31

1 Jakobo nowinjo ni yawuot Laban ne wacho niya, “Jakobo osekawo gik ma wuonwa nigo duto kendo oseyudo mwandugi duto koa kuom wuonwa.”

And he heard the words of Laban's sons, saying, Jacob hath taken away all that was our father's, and of that which was our father's hath he gotten all this wealth.

2 Kendo Jakobo noneno ni pach Laban ok nikode kaka chon.

And Jacob beheld the countenance of Laban, and, behold, it was not toward him as before.

3 Eka Jehova Nyasaye nowacho ne Jakobo niya, “Dogi e pinyu ir oweteni kendo abiro bet kodi.”

And the Lord said unto Jacob, Return unto the land of thy fathers, and to thy birthplace; and I will be with thee.

4 Kuom mano Jakobo nooro wach ne Rael kod Lea mondo gibi e lek kumane okwayoe.

And Jacob sent and called Rachel and Leah to the field unto his flock.

5 Nowachonegi niya, “Aneno ni paro ma wuonu nigo koda ok en paro mane en-go mokwongo, kata kamano Nyasach wuora osebedo koda.

And he said unto them, I see your father's countenance, that it is not toward me as before; but the God of my father hath been with me.

6 Ungʼeyo kaka asetiyo ne wuonu gi tekra duto.

And ye know well that with all my power I have served your father.

7 To wuonu osewuonda ka oloko chudona nyadipar. To kata kamano, Nyasaye ok oseweyo otimona marach.

And your father hath deceived me, and changed my wages ten times: but God suffered him not to do me evil.

8 Wuonu nowacho ni, ‘Mago ma kitgi angʼech nobed pokni;’ eka jamni duto nonywolo mago ma kitgi angʼech kende, to bende kane owacho ni, ‘Mago ma kitgi rabok nobed pokni,’ eka jamni duto nonywolo mana mago ma kitgi rabok.

If he said thus, The speckled shall be thy wages: then bore all the flocks speckled: and if he said thus, The ring-streaked shall be thy reward; then bore all the flocks ring-streaked.

9 Kuom mano Nyasaye osekawo kweth mag jamni mag wuonu kendo osemiyagi.

Thus God took away the cattle of your father, and gave them to me.

10 “E kinde mane jamni mathuondi dwaro luwo jamni mamon, naleko ni nywogi duto mane oluwo jamni mamon ne gin mago man-gi kido marabok gi mago man-gi kido marangʼech kod mago man-gi kido mopogore opogore.

And it came to pass at the time that the flocks conceived, that I lifted up my eyes, and saw in a dream, and, behold, the rams which leaped upon the flocks were ring-streaked, speckled, and grizzled.

11 Malaika mar Nyasaye noluonga e lek ni, ‘Jakobo.’ Eka nadwoke ni, ‘An ka.’

And an angel of God spoke unto me in the dream, Jacob: and I said, Here am I.

12 Eka malaika nomedo wachona ni, ‘Tingʼ wangʼi kendo ineye kaka nywogi duto maluwo diek gin rabok, angʼech kod ma dikiyo, nimar aseneno gik moko duto ma Laban osebedo katimoni.

And he said, Lift up now thy eyes and see, all the rams which leap upon the flocks are ring-streaked, speckled, and grizzled; for I have seen all that Laban doth unto thee.

13 An e Nyasaye mane ofwenyoreni Bethel kamane iwiroe siro gi mo kendo kama ne isingori kikwongʼori ne an. Koro wuogi ia e pinyni kendo idog thuru.’”

I am the God of Beth-el, where thou anointedst a pillar, where thou madest unto me a vow: now arise, get thee out from this land, and return unto the land of thy birth.

14 Eka Rael kod Lea nodwoke niya, “Bende pod wadongʼ gi pok moro amora e mwandu wuonwa?

And Rachel and Leah answered and said unto him, Is there yet any portion or inheritance for us in our father's house?

15 Donge tinde okwanowa mana kaka jomoko nono? Ok en mana ni osechiwowa kende, to osechano nyaka mwandu duto mane okendwa.

Were we not counted of him as strangers? for he hath sold us; and he hath quite consumed also our money.

16 Adier mwandu duto ma Nyasaye osegolo kuom wuonwa gin mawa kod nyithindwa. Omiyo tim gimoro amora ma Nyasaye osenyisi.”

For all the riches which God hath taken from our father, that is ours, and our children's; now then, whatsoever God hath said unto thee, do.

17 Eka Jakobo nokawo nyithinde kod monde mi oketo ewi ngamia,

Then Jacob rose up, and set his sons and his wives upon camels;

18 kendo nosembo jambe duto e nyime kaachiel gi gik moko duto mane osechoko e piny Padan Aram, mondo odhi ir Isaka wuon-gi e piny Kanaan.

And he led away all his cattle, and all his goods which he had gotten, the cattle of his acquiring, which he had gotten in Padan-aram, to go to Isaac his father into the land of Canaan.

19 Kane Laban osedhi ngʼado yie rombe, Rael nokwalo nyiseche mag wuon-gi.

And Laban was gone to shear his sheep; and Rachel stole the images that were her father's.

20 To kata kamano, Jakobo nowuondo Laban ja-Aram ka ok onyise ni odok thurgi.

And Jacob stole away unawares to Laban the Syrian, by not letting him know that he was going to flee.

21 Kuom mano noringo gi mago mane en-go duto, kendo nongʼado Aora koluwo yo mochomo piny gode mag Gilead.

And he fled with all that he had; and he rose up, and passed over the river, and set his face toward the mount Gilead.

22 E odiechiengʼ mar adek Laban nowinjo ni Jakobo osepondo modhi.

And it was told to Laban on the third day that Jacob was fled.

23 Nokawo wedene molawo Jakobo; kuom ndalo abiriyo; kendo nojuke e piny gode mag Gilead.

And he took his brethren with him, and pursued after him a seven days' journey; and he overtook him at the mount of Gilead.

24 Eka Nyasaye nofwenyore ne Laban ja-Aram gotieno e lek mi owachone niya, “Ne ni ok iwachone Jakobo gimoro amora, maber kata marach.”

And God came to Laban, the Syrian, in a dream of the night, and said unto him, Take thou heed that thou speak not to Jacob either good or bad.

25 Ka Laban nojuko Jakobo noyudo ka oseguro hembe e piny gode mag Gilead kendo mi en bende gi wedene noguro hembe kanyo.

Then Laban overtook Jacob; now Jacob had pitched his tent on the mount, and Laban with his brethren pitched on the mount of Gilead.

26 Eka Laban nopenjo Jakobo niya, “En angʼo ma isetimoni? Isewuonda kendo iseringa gi nyiga mana ka joma omak e lweny.

And Laban said to Jacob, What hast thou done, that thou hast stolen away unawares to me, and led away my daughters, as captives taken with the sword.

27 Ere gima nomiyo iringo lingʼ-lingʼ ka akia? Angʼo ma nomoni nyisa, mondo omi asewi gi mor kiwerni kendo igoni thum?

Wherefore didst thou flee away secretly, and steal away from me; and why didst thou not tell me, that I might have sent thee away with mirth, and with songs, with tabret, and with harp?

28 Bende ne ok iweyo agoyoni oriti gi nyiga gi nyikwaya. Kuom mano isetimo gima ofuwo.

And [why] hast thou not suffered me to kiss my sons and my daughters? now thou hast acted foolishly in so doing.

29 Ngʼe ni an-gi teko mar hinyi, to Nyasach wuonu ne onyisa otieno manyoro ni, ‘Ne ni ok iwachone Jakobo gimoro amora, maber kata marach.’

It is in the power of my hand to do you hurt; but the God of your father spoke unto me yesternight, saying, Take thou heed that thou speak not to Jacob either good or bad.

30 Angʼeyo ni nyoro iwuok nikech siso ma in-go mar dok ir joodu. To angʼo momiyo nyoro ikwalo nyisechena?”

And now, thou wouldst needs be gone, because thou greatly longedst after thy father's house; [yet] wherefore hast thou stolen my gods.

31 Jakobo nodwoko Laban niya, “Ne aluor nikech nyo aparo ni dipo ka imaya nyigi githuon.

And Jacob answered and said to Laban, Because I was afraid, for I said, Peradventure thou wouldst take by force thy daughters from me.

32 To ngʼato angʼata ma iyudo gi nyisechegi ok nokwo. E nyim jowagi, rang in iwuon giri moro amora madabedgo kendo ka iyudo to kaw.” To Jakobo ne ok ongʼeyo ni Rael nosekwalo nyisechego.

With whomsoever thou findest thy gods, let him not live; before our brethren seek out thou what is thine with me, and take it to thee; but Jacob knew not that Rachel had stolen them.

33 Eka Laban nodonjo ei hemb Jakobo kendo ei hemb Lea kendo ei hemb jotichgi ariyo ma nyiri to ne ok oyudo gimoro. Bangʼ kane osea ei hemb Lea nodonjo ei hemb Rael.

And Laban went into the tent of Jacob, and into the tent of Leah, and into the tent of the two maid-servants; but he found nothing; he then went out of the tent of Leah, and entered into Rachel's tent.

34 Noyudo ka Rael osekawo nyisechego mopando e bwo kom ngamia mobetie. Laban nodwaro gik moko duto mane ni ei hema to ne ok oyudo gimoro.

Now Rachel had taken the images, and put them in the saddle-cushion of the camel, and sat upon them; and Laban searched all the tent, and found nothing.

35 Rael nowacho ni wuon-gi niya, “Yaye ruodha, kik mirima maki koda ni atamora chungʼ e nyimi nikech an e kindena mag neno malo.” Kuom mano Laban nomanyo nyisechenego to ne ok oyudo.

And she said to her father, Let it not displease my lord that I cannot rise up before thee; for the custom of women is upon me; and thus he searched, but found not the images.

36 Jakobo mirima nomako mi odhawo gi Laban. Nopenje niya, “En richo mane masetimo momiyo ilawa matek kama?

Now Jacob became wroth, and quarrelled with Laban; and Jacob answered and said to Laban, What is my trespass? what is my sin, that thou hast so hotly pursued after me?

37 Koro ero isemanyo giga duto, angʼo ma iyudo ma mari? Kete e lela e nyim oweteni kod owetena kendo we gingʼad bura e kindwa.

Although thou hast searched all my goods, what hast thou found of all the articles of thy household? set it here before my brethren and thy brethren, that they may judge between us both.

38 “Asebedo kodi koro higni piero ariyo, to rombi kata dieki pok obwogo bende achamo imi kata achiel.

These twenty years have I been with thee: thy ewes and thy she-goats have not cast their young; and the rams of thy flock have I not eaten.

39 Ne ok akeloni chiayo ma ondiek ochamo; to ne achulo chiayo mangima an awuon. Bende ne iketo ni achuli kuom gimoro amora mane okwal gotieno kata godiechiengʼ.

That which was torn of beasts I brought not unto thee; I had to bear the loss of it, of my hand didst thou require it, whatever was stolen by day, or stolen by night.

40 Kamano e kaka ne abet; chiengʼ nochama godiechiengʼ kendo koyo nochama gotieno, kendo nindo noringo oa e wangʼa.

[Where] I was in the day the heat consumed me, and the frost by night; and my sleep departed from my eyes.

41 Ne en kama kuom higni piero ariyo kane an e odi. Ne atiyoni kuom higni apar gangʼwen ne nyigi ariyo, kendo higni auchiel ne jambi, kendo ne imaya pokna nyadipar.

These twenty years have I been in thy house; I have served thee fourteen years for thy two daughters, and six years for thy flocks: and thou hast changed my wages ten times.

42 Ka dine ni Nyasach wuora, Nyasach Ibrahim, kod luor mane Isaka nigo, ne ok ni koda, adier dine iriemba gi lweta nono. To Nyasaye oseneno chandruokna gi tich matek mar lweta, kendo nyo okweri otieno manyoro ni kik itimna gimoro marach.”

Except the God of my father, the God of Abraham, and the Fear of Isaac, had been with me, surely thou hadst now sent me away empty; my affliction and the labor of my hands God hath seen, and decided yesternight.

43 Laban nodwoko Jakobo niya, “Mon-go gin nyiga, nyithindogo gin nyithinda, kendo kwethgo gin kwethga. Gik moko duto minenogo gin maga. To koro en angʼo marach madatimne nyigagi, kata ne nyithindo ma ginywolo?

And Laban answered and said unto Jacob, The daughters are my daughters, and the children are my children, and the flocks are my flocks, and all that thou seest is mine; but as to my daughters, what can I do unto them this day, or unto their children whom they have born?

44 Bi, mondo watim singruok, in kod an, kendo we obed kaka ranyisi e kindwa kodi.”

And now, come thou, let us make a covenant, I and thou; and let it be for a witness between me and thee.

45 Omiyo Jakobo nokawo kidi mochunge ka siro.

And Jacob took a stone, and set it up for a pillar.

46 Nowacho ne wedene niya, “Chokuru kite moko.” Kuom mano negikawo kite kendo negichokogi pith mine gichiemo but pidhno.

And Jacob said unto his brethren, Gather stones; and they took stones, and made a heap; and they ate there upon the heap.

47 Laban nochako nying kanyo ni Jegar-Sahadutha; kendo Jakobo nochake ni Galeed.

And Laban called it Yegar-sahadutha; but Jacob called it Galed.

48 Laban nowacho niya, “Pidhni en janeno e kinda kodi kawuono!” Mano emomiyo iluonge ni Galeed.

And Laban said, This heap is a witness between me and thee this day; therefore called he its name Galed;

49 Bende kanyo nochak ni Mizpa (tiende ni kar ngʼicho), nikech Laban nowacho niya, “Mad Jehova Nyasaye bed jarit e kinda kodi ka wan mabor.

And Mitzpah; for he said, The Lord shall watch between me and thee, when we are absent one from the other;

50 Ka isando nyiga kata ikendo nyiri mamoko bangʼ nyigagi, kata obedoni onge janeno kae, to ngʼe malongʼo ni Nyasaye e janeno e kindwa.”

If thou shouldst afflict my daughters, or if thou shouldst take other wives besides my daughters, when there is no man with us: see, God is witness between me and thee.

51 Laban nomedo wacho ne Jakobo niya, “Ne pidhni kendo ne sironi maseketo e kinda kodi.

And Laban said to Jacob, Behold this heap, and behold this pillar, which I have cast up between me and thee;

52 Pidhni kata sironi gin joneno ni ok nakadh pidhni mondo amonji kendo in bende ok nikadh pidhni kata sironi mondo imonja.

Witness be this heap and witness be this pillar, that I will not pass by this heap, and that thou shalt not pass unto me by this heap and this pillar, for evil.

53 Mad Nyasach Ibrahim, kod Nahor, gi Nyasach kwereni obed jangʼad bura e kindwa.” Omiyo Jakobo notimo kwongʼruok e nying Nyasach Isaka wuon-gi.

The God of Abraham and the God of Nachor shall judge between us, the God of their father; but Jacob swore by the Fear of his father Isaac.

54 Notimo misango e godno kendo noluongo wedene e nyasino. Bangʼ kane gisechiemo, ne ginindo kanyo.

Then Jacob slew some cattle upon the mount, and called his brethren to eat bread; and they did eat bread, and tarried all night on the mount.

55 Kiny ne gokinyi mangʼich, Laban nogone nyige gi nyikwaye oriti kendo nogwedhogi. Eka nowuok modok dala.

And early in the morning Laban rose up, and kissed his sons and his daughters and blessed them; and Laban departed, and returned unto his own place.
