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.”
Jacob heard Laban’s sons’ words, saying, “Jacob has taken away all that was our father’s. He has obtained all this wealth from that which was our father’s.”
2 Kendo Jakobo noneno ni pach Laban ok nikode kaka chon.
Jacob saw the expression on Laban’s face, 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.”
Yahweh said to Jacob, “Return to the land of your fathers, and to your relatives, and I will be with you.”
4 Kuom mano Jakobo nooro wach ne Rael kod Lea mondo gibi e lek kumane okwayoe.
Jacob sent and called Rachel and Leah to the field to 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 said to them, “I see the expression on your father’s face, that it is not toward me as before; but the God of my father has been with me.
6 Ungʼeyo kaka asetiyo ne wuonu gi tekra duto.
You know that I have served your father with all of my strength.
7 To wuonu osewuonda ka oloko chudona nyadipar. To kata kamano, Nyasaye ok oseweyo otimona marach.
Your father has deceived me, and changed my wages ten times, but God didn’t allow him to hurt me.
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, ‘The speckled will be your wages,’ then all the flock bore speckled. If he said, ‘The streaked will be your wages,’ then all the flock bore streaked.
9 Kuom mano Nyasaye osekawo kweth mag jamni mag wuonu kendo osemiyagi.
Thus God has taken away your father’s livestock, and given 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.
During mating season, I lifted up my eyes, and saw in a dream, and behold, the male goats which leaped on the flock were streaked, speckled, and grizzled.
11 Malaika mar Nyasaye noluonga e lek ni, ‘Jakobo.’ Eka nadwoke ni, ‘An ka.’
The angel of God said to me in the dream, ‘Jacob,’ and I said, ‘Here I am.’
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.
He said, ‘Now lift up your eyes, and behold, all the male goats which leap on the flock are streaked, speckled, and grizzled, for I have seen all that Laban does to you.
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 Bethel, where you anointed a pillar, where you vowed a vow to me. Now arise, get out from this land, and return to the land of your birth.’”
14 Eka Rael kod Lea nodwoke niya, “Bende pod wadongʼ gi pok moro amora e mwandu wuonwa?
Rachel and Leah answered 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.
Aren’t we considered as foreigners by him? For he has sold us, and has also used up 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 has taken away from our father are ours and our children’s. Now then, whatever God has said to you, do.”
17 Eka Jakobo nokawo nyithinde kod monde mi oketo ewi ngamia,
Then Jacob rose up, and set his sons and his wives on the 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 took away all his livestock, and all his possessions which he had gathered, including the livestock which he had gained in Paddan Aram, to go to Isaac his father, to the land of Canaan.
19 Kane Laban osedhi ngʼado yie rombe, Rael nokwalo nyiseche mag wuon-gi.
Now Laban had gone to shear his sheep; and Rachel stole the teraphim that were her father’s.
20 To kata kamano, Jakobo nowuondo Laban ja-Aram ka ok onyise ni odok thurgi.
Jacob deceived Laban the Syrian, in that he didn’t tell him that he was running away.
21 Kuom mano noringo gi mago mane en-go duto, kendo nongʼado Aora koluwo yo mochomo piny gode mag Gilead.
So he fled with all that he had. He rose up, passed over the River, and set his face toward the mountain of Gilead.
22 E odiechiengʼ mar adek Laban nowinjo ni Jakobo osepondo modhi.
Laban was told on the third day that Jacob had fled.
23 Nokawo wedene molawo Jakobo; kuom ndalo abiriyo; kendo nojuke e piny gode mag Gilead.
He took his relatives with him, and pursued him seven days’ journey. He overtook him in the mountain 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.”
God came to Laban the Syrian in a dream of the night, and said to him, “Be careful that you don’t speak 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.
Laban caught up with Jacob. Now Jacob had pitched his tent in the mountain, and Laban with his relatives encamped in the mountain of Gilead.
26 Eka Laban nopenjo Jakobo niya, “En angʼo ma isetimoni? Isewuonda kendo iseringa gi nyiga mana ka joma omak e lweny.
Laban said to Jacob, “What have you done, that you have deceived me, and carried away my daughters like captives of the sword?
27 Ere gima nomiyo iringo lingʼ-lingʼ ka akia? Angʼo ma nomoni nyisa, mondo omi asewi gi mor kiwerni kendo igoni thum?
Why did you flee secretly, and deceive me, and didn’t tell me, that I might have sent you away with mirth and with songs, with tambourine and with harp;
28 Bende ne ok iweyo agoyoni oriti gi nyiga gi nyikwaya. Kuom mano isetimo gima ofuwo.
and didn’t allow me to kiss my sons and my daughters? Now have you done foolishly.
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 hurt you, but the God of your father spoke to me last night, saying, ‘Be careful that you don’t speak 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?”
Now, you want to be gone, because you greatly longed for your father’s house, but why have you stolen my gods?”
31 Jakobo nodwoko Laban niya, “Ne aluor nikech nyo aparo ni dipo ka imaya nyigi githuon.
Jacob answered Laban, “Because I was afraid, for I said, ‘Lest you should take your daughters from me by force.’
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.
Anyone you find your gods with shall not live. Before our relatives, discern what is yours with me, and take it.” For Jacob didn’t know 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.
Laban went into Jacob’s tent, into Leah’s tent, and into the tent of the two female servants; but he didn’t find them. He went out of Leah’s tent, 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 teraphim, put them in the camel’s saddle, and sat on them. Laban felt around all the tent, but didn’t find them.
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.
She said to her father, “Don’t let my lord be angry that I can’t rise up before you; for I’m having my period.” He searched, but didn’t find the teraphim.
36 Jakobo mirima nomako mi odhawo gi Laban. Nopenje niya, “En richo mane masetimo momiyo ilawa matek kama?
Jacob was angry, and argued with Laban. Jacob answered Laban, “What is my trespass? What is my sin, that you have hotly pursued 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.
Now that you have felt around in all my stuff, what have you found of all your household stuff? Set it here before my relatives and your relatives, that they may judge between us two.
38 “Asebedo kodi koro higni piero ariyo, to rombi kata dieki pok obwogo bende achamo imi kata achiel.
“These twenty years I have been with you. Your ewes and your female goats have not cast their young, and I haven’t eaten the rams of your flocks.
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 animals, I didn’t bring to you. I bore its loss. Of my hand you required it, whether 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.
This was my situation: in the day the drought consumed me, and the frost by night; and my sleep fled 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 I have been in your house. I served you fourteen years for your two daughters, and six years for your flock, and you have 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.”
Unless the God of my father, the God of Abraham, and the fear of Isaac, had been with me, surely now you would have sent me away empty. God has seen my affliction and the labor of my hands, and rebuked you last night.”
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?
Laban answered Jacob, “The daughters are my daughters, the children are my children, the flocks are my flocks, and all that you see is mine! What can I do today to these my daughters, or to their children whom they have borne?
44 Bi, mondo watim singruok, in kod an, kendo we obed kaka ranyisi e kindwa kodi.”
Now come, let’s make a covenant, you and I. Let it be for a witness between me and you.”
45 Omiyo Jakobo nokawo kidi mochunge ka siro.
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.
Jacob said to his relatives, “Gather stones.” They took stones, and made a heap. They ate there by the heap.
47 Laban nochako nying kanyo ni Jegar-Sahadutha; kendo Jakobo nochake ni Galeed.
Laban called it Jegar Sahadutha, but Jacob called it Galeed.
48 Laban nowacho niya, “Pidhni en janeno e kinda kodi kawuono!” Mano emomiyo iluonge ni Galeed.
Laban said, “This heap is witness between me and you today.” Therefore it was named Galeed
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 Mizpah, for he said, “Yahweh watch between me and you, when we are absent one from another.
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 you afflict my daughters, or if you take wives in addition to my daughters, no man is with us; behold, God is witness between me and you.”
51 Laban nomedo wacho ne Jakobo niya, “Ne pidhni kendo ne sironi maseketo e kinda kodi.
Laban said to Jacob, “See this heap, and see the pillar, which I have set between me and you.
52 Pidhni kata sironi gin joneno ni ok nakadh pidhni mondo amonji kendo in bende ok nikadh pidhni kata sironi mondo imonja.
May this heap be a witness, and the pillar be a witness, that I will not pass over this heap to you, and that you will not pass over this heap and this pillar to me, for harm.
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 Nahor, the God of their father, judge between us.” Then 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.
Jacob offered a sacrifice in the mountain, and called his relatives to eat bread. They ate bread, and stayed all night in the mountain.
55 Kiny ne gokinyi mangʼich, Laban nogone nyige gi nyikwaye oriti kendo nogwedhogi. Eka nowuok modok dala.
Early in the morning, Laban rose up, and kissed his sons and his daughters, and blessed them. Laban departed and returned to his place.
