Genesis 31
1 And he heard the words of Laban's sons, saying, Jacob has taken away all that was our father's, and he has gotten all this glory of that which was our father's.
Yaaqoobis akka ilmaan Laabaa, “Yaaqoob waan abbaan keenya qabu hunda fudhateera; qabeenya kana hundas waanuma kan abbaa keenyaa ture irraa argate” jedhan dhagaʼe.
2 And Jacob beheld the countenance of Laban, and, behold, it was not toward him as beforetime.
Yaaqoobis fuula Laabaa ilaale; kunoo fuulli isaa akka duraatti isatti hin tolle.
3 And Jehovah said to Jacob, Return to the land of thy fathers, and to thy kindred, and I will be with thee.
Waaqayyos Yaaqoobiin, “Biyya abbaa keetii fi fira keetti deebiʼi; anis si wajjin nan taʼa” jedhe.
4 And Jacob sent and called Rachel and Leah to the field to his flock,
Kanaafuu Yaaqoob akka isaan bakkeetti lafa bushaayeen isaa jiranitti gad baʼaniif gara Raahelii fi Liyaatti ergaa erge.
5 and said to them, I see your father's countenance, that it is not toward me as beforetime, but the God of my father has been with me.
Innis akkana isaaniin jedhe; “Ani akka abbaan keessan akka kanaan duraa sana fuula natti hin tolle hubadheera; garuu Waaqni abbaa kootii na wajjin jira.
6 And ye know that with all my power I have served your father.
Akka ani humna koo guutuudhaan abbaa keessaniif hojjedhe isinuu beektu;
7 And your father has deceived me, and changed my wages ten times, but God did not allow him to hurt me.
taʼus abbaan keessan mindaa koo yeroo kudhan geeddaruudhaan na gowwoomse. Waaqni garuu akka inni na miidhu hin eeyyamneef.
8 If he said thus, The speckled shall be thy wages, then all the flock bore speckled, and if he said thus, The ringstreaked shall be thy wages, then all the flock bore ringstreaked.
Yeroo inni, ‘Bushaayeen cocorreen mindaa kee taʼu’ jedhetti, bushaayeen hundi ilmaan cocorree dhalan; yeroo inni, ‘warri halluu qaxxaamuroo qaban mindaa kee taʼu’ jedhetti immoo bushaayeen hundi ilmaan qaxxaamuroo qaban dhalan.
9 Thus God has taken away the cattle of your father, and given them to me.
Waaqni karaa kanaan horii abbaa keessanii fuudhee naa kenne.
10 And it came to pass at the time that the flock conceive, that I lifted up my eyes, and saw in a dream, and, behold, the he-goats which leaped upon the flock were ringstreaked, speckled, and grizzled.
“Anis gaaf tokko waqtii gaana bushaayeetti abjuu keessa ol ilaalee kunoo korbeeyyiin reʼootatti hobobsan akka halluu qaxxaamuroo qaban, cocorree fi buburree taʼan nan arge.
11 And the agent of God said to me in the dream, Jacob. And I said, Here I am.
Ergamaan Waaqayyoos abjuu keessa, ‘Yaaqoob’ naan jedhe. Ani, ‘Kunoo asan jira’ jedheen deebise.
12 And he said, Lift up now thine eyes, and see, all the he-goats which leap upon the flock are ringstreaked, speckled, and grizzled, for I have seen all that Laban does to thee.
Inni immoo akkana naan jedhe; ‘Akka korbeeyyiin reʼootaa kanneen bushaayeetti hobobsan hundinuu halluu qaxxaamuroo qaban, cocorree fi buburree taʼan ol jedhii ilaali. Ani waan Laabaan sitti hojjete hunda argeeraatii.
13 I am the God of Bethel, where thou anointed a pillar, where thou vowed a vow to me. Now arise, get thee out from this land, and return to the land of thy nativity.
Ani Waaqa Beetʼeel lafa ati itti utubaa dibdee wareega naaf wareegde sanaa ti. Amma kaʼiitii biyya kana keessaa baʼiitii gara biyya fira keetiitti deebiʼi.’”
14 And Rachel and Leah answered and said to him, Is there yet any portion or inheritance for us in our father's house?
Kana irratti Raahelii fi Liyaan akkana jedhanii deebisan; “Qoodni yookaan dhaalli mana abbaa keenyaatti nuu hafe jiraa?
15 Are we not accounted by him as foreigners? For he has sold us, and has also quite devoured our money.
Inni akkuma ormaatti nu ilaala mitii? Inni nu gurgurateeraatii maallaqa sababii keenyaaf kenname nyaatee fixeera.
16 For all the riches which God has taken away from our father, that is ours and our children's. Now then, whatever God has said to thee, do.
Qabeenyi Waaqni abbaa keenya irraa fuudhe hundi kan keenyaa fi kan ijoollee keenyaa ti. Egaa waan Waaqni sitti hime hunda godhi.”
17 Then Jacob rose up, and set his sons and his wives upon the camels.
Yaaqoobis ijoollee isaatii fi niitota isaa gaalawwan irra kaaʼate;
18 And he carried away all his cattle, and all his substance which he had gathered, the cattle of his getting, which he had gathered in Paddan-aram, to go to Isaac his father to the land of Canaan.
horii fi qabeenya kaaba dhiʼa Phaadaan Arraamiitti horatte hunda of dura oofee gara biyya Kanaʼaan abbaa isaa Yisihaaq bira dhaquuf kaʼe.
19 Now Laban was gone to shear his sheep, and Rachel stole the teraphim that were her father's.
Laabaan hoolota isaa irraa rifeensa murmuruu dhaqe; Raahel immoo waaqota abbaa ishee hatte.
20 And Jacob slipped away unawares to Laban the Syrian, in that he did not tell him that he fled.
Yaaqoobis akka isa dhiisee baqachuu yaade isa dhoksuudhaan Laabaan namicha Arraam sana gowwoomse.
21 So he fled with all that he had. And he rose up, and passed over the River, and set his face toward the mountain of Gilead.
Innis waan qabu hunda fudhatee baqate; laga Efraaxiis ceʼee biyya gaara Giliʼaaditti qajeele.
22 And it was told Laban on the third day that Jacob had fled.
Akka Yaaqoob baqate guyyaa sadaffaatti Laabaatti himame.
23 And he took his brothers with him, and pursued after him seven days' journey, and he overtook him in the mountain of Gilead.
Laabaanis firoota isaa fudhatee guyyaa torba Yaaqoob duukaa buʼee biyya gaara Giliʼaaditti isa qaqqabe.
24 And God came to Laban the Syrian in a dream of the night, and said to him, Take heed to thyself that thou not speak to Jacob either good or bad.
Waaqnis halkan abjuudhaan gara Laabaan namicha biyya Arraam sanaa dhufee, “Ati waan gaariis taʼu hamaa tokko iyyuu Yaaqoobitti akka hin dubbanne of eeggadhu” isaan jedhe.
25 And Laban came up with Jacob. Now Jacob had pitched his tent in the mountain. And Laban encamped with his brothers in the mountain of Gilead.
Yaaqoob yeroo Laabaan isa qaqqabetti, biyya gaaraa Giliʼaad keessa dunkaana isaa dhaabbatee ture; Laabaa fi firoonni isaas achi qubatan.
26 And Laban said to Jacob, What have thou done, that thou have slipped away unawares to me, and carried away my daughters as captives of the sword?
Laabaanis Yaaqoobiin akkana jedhe; “Ati na gowwoomsitee intallan koo akka boojiʼamtoota waraanaatti fudhattee deemuun kee maal gochuu kee ti?
27 Why did thou flee secretly, and creep away from me, and did not tell me, that I might have sent thee away with mirth and with songs, with tambourine and with harp,
Ati maaliif dhoksaan baqatte? Maaliifis na gowwoomsite? Akka ani gammachuu fi faarfannaadhaan, dibbee fi baganaadhaan si geggeessuuf maaliif natti himuu didde?
28 and did not allow me to kiss my sons and my daughters? Now thou have done foolishly.
Ati akka ani ijoollee ijoollee kootiitii fi intallan koo dhungadhee nagaatti jedhu naaf hin eeyyamne. Ati hojii gowwummaa hojjete.
29 It is in the power of my hand to do you harm, but the God of your father spoke to me last night, saying, Take heed to thyself that thou not speak to Jacob either good or bad.
Ani isin miidhuuf humna qaba; garuu eda Waaqni abbaa keessanii, ‘Ati waan gaariis taʼu hamaa tokko illee Yaaqoobitti akka hin dubbanne of eeggadhu’ naan jedhe.
30 And now, though thou have certainly gone, because thou have been very desirous for thy father's house, yet why have thou stolen my gods?
Ati sababii mana abbaa keetiitti deebiʼuu akka malee hawwiteef deemteerta; garuu maaliif waaqota koo hatte?”
31 And Jacob answered and said to Laban, Because I was afraid, for I said, Lest thou should take thy daughters from me by force.
Yaaqoobis akkana jedhee Laabaaf deebii kenne; “Ati intallan kee humnaan narraa fudhatta jedhee waanan sodaadheef nan deeme.
32 With whomever thou find thy gods, he shall not live. Before our brothers discern thou what is thine with me, and take it to thee. For Jacob did not know that Rachel had stolen them.
Namni ati waaqota kee isa biratti argattu jiraachuu hin qabu. Akka wanni kan kee taʼe na bira jiruu fi akka hin jirre atuu fuula firoota keenyaa duratti sakattaʼi; yoo jiraate immoo fudhadhu.” Yaaqoob Raahel waaqota sana hattuu ishee Yaaqoob hin beeku ture.
33 And Laban went into Jacob's tent, and into Leah's tent, and into the tent of the two maid-servants, but he did not find them. And he went out of Leah's tent, and entered into Rachel's tent.
Laabaanis dunkaana Yaaqoob, dunkaana Liyaatii fi dunkaana xomboreewwan lamaanii seenee homaa dhabe. Erga dunkaana Liyaatii baʼee booddees dunkaana Raahel seene.
34 Now Rachel had taken the teraphim, and put them in the camel's saddle, and sat upon them. And Laban felt around all the tent, but did not find them.
Raahel immoo waaqota mana keessaa hatte sana kooraa gaalawwan ishee jala keessee irra taaʼaa turte. Laabaanis waan dunkaanicha keessa jiru hunda keessa barbaade; garuu homaa hin arganne.
35 And she said to her father, Let not my lord be angry that I cannot rise up before thee, for the manner of women is upon me. And he searched, but did not find the teraphim.
Raahelis abbaa isheetiin, “Yaa gooftaa ko, sababii ani kaʼee fuula kee dura dhaabachuu dadhabeef hin aarin; ani xuriin of irraa qabaa” jette. Innis ni sakattaʼe malee waaqota sana hin arganne.
36 And Jacob was angry, and chided with Laban. And Jacob answered and said to Laban, What is my trespass? What is my sin that thou have hotly pursued after me?
Yaaqoobis Laabaatti aaree isatti dheekkame. Innis akkana jedhee gaafate; “Yakki koo maali? Wanni ati akkana na adamsituuf ani cubbuu maalii hojjedheeti?
37 Whereas thou have felt around all my stuff, what have thou found of all thy household stuff? Set it here before my brothers and thy brothers, that they may judge between us two.
Ati miʼa koo hunda sakattaateerta; egaa miʼa mana keetii keessaa maal argatte? Yoo jiraate firoota keetii fi firoota koo duratti dhiʼeessiitii isaan nu lamaan gidduutti murtii haa kennan.
38 These twenty years I have been with thee, thy ewes and thy she-goats have not cast their young, and I have not eaten the rams of thy flocks.
“Ani waggoota digdaman kana si wajjin jiraadheera. Hoolonnii fi reʼoonni kee tokko iyyuu hin gatanne; ani bushaayee kee keessaas korbeeyyii hin nyaanne.
39 I did not bring to thee that which was torn by beasts; I bore the loss of it, of my hand thou required it, whether stolen by day or stolen by night.
Ani horii bineensi cabse gara keetti hin fidne; horii bades anatu kaffalaa ture. Waan guyyaas taʼu halkan hatame hundaaf ati na kaffalchiifatta turte.
40 Thus I was; in the day the drought consumed me, and the frost by night, and my sleep fled from my eyes.
Haalli ani keessa jiraadhe kana ture; guyyaa hoʼa, halkan immoo dhaamochatu na waxala ture; hirribnis ija koo irraa bade.
41 These twenty years I have been in thy house. I served thee fourteen years for thy two daughters, and six years for thy flock. And thou have changed my wages ten times.
Akkasiin ani waggoota digdamman kana mana kee ture. Ani waggaa kudha afur intallan kee lamaaniif jedhee, waggaa jaʼa immoo bushaayee keetiif jedhee siif hojjedheera; ati immoo yeroo kudhan mindaa koo geeddarte.
42 Unless the God of my father, the God of Abraham, and the fear of Isaac, had been with me, surely now thou would have sent me away empty. God has seen my affliction and the labor of my hands, and rebuked thee last night.
Waaqni abbaa ko, Waaqni Abrahaam, Sodaan Yisihaaq utuu na wajjin jiraachuu baate ati silaa harka duwwaa na baasta turte. Waaqni garuu rakkina koo fi dadhabbii koo argee eda sitti dheekkame.”
43 And Laban answered and said to Jacob, The daughters are my daughters, and the sons are my sons, and the flocks are my flocks, and all that thou see is mine. And what can I do this day to these my daughters, or to their sons whom they have borne?
Laabaan akkana jedhee Yaaqoobiif deebise; “Dubartoonni kunneen intallan koo ti; ijoolleen kunneenis ijoolluma koo ti; bushaayeen kunneenis bushaayee koo ti. Wanni ati argitu hundi kanuma koo ti. Yoos ani waaʼee intallan koo kanneeniitii fi waaʼee ijoollee isaan daʼanii harʼa maal gochuun dandaʼa?
44 And now come, let us make a covenant, I and thou, and let it be for a witness between me and thee.
Kottu mee anii fi ati amma walii kakannaa; kakuun kunis anaa fi si gidduutti ragaa haa taʼu.”
45 And Jacob took a stone, and set it up for a pillar.
Yaaqoobis dhagaa tokko fuudhee akka utubaatti dhaabe.
46 And Jacob said to his brothers, Gather stones, and they took stones, and made a heap. And they ate there by the heap.
Innis firoota isaatiin, “Dhagaa walitti qabaa” jedhe. Isaanis dhagaa walitti qabanii tuulan; jarris tuullaa sana biratti nyaata nyaatan.
47 And Laban called it Jegar-saha-dutha, but Jacob called it Galeed.
Laabaan tuullaa sanaan “Yigaarsahaadutaa” jedhee moggaase; Yaaqoob immoo “Giliʼaad” jedheen.
48 And Laban said, This heap is witness between me and thee this day. Therefore the name of it was called Galeed,
Laabaanis, “Tuullaan kun anaa fi si gidduutti ragaa dha” jedhe. Gaalaʼaad jedhamuun isaa kanumaaf.
49 and Mizpah. For he said, May Jehovah watch between me and thee, when we are absent one from another,
Akkasumas Miisphaa jedhame; Laabaan akkana jedhee tureetii; “Yeroo nu gargar baanutti Waaqayyo sii fi ana gidduutti eegduu haa taʼu.
50 if thou will afflict my daughters, and if thou will take wives besides my daughters, no man is with us, see, God is witness between me and thee.
Yoo ati intallan koo rakkifte yookaan yoo ati intallan koo irratti niitota biraa fuute, yoo namni tokko iyyuu nu bira hin jirre kunoo Waaqni anaa fi siʼi gidduutti ragaa dha.”
51 And Laban said to Jacob, Behold this heap, and behold the pillar, which I have set between me and thee.
Laabaan ammas Yaaqoobiin akkana jedhe; “Tuullaa kanaa fi utubaa ani sii fi ana gidduu dhaabe kana ilaali.
52 This heap is witness, and the pillar is witness, that I will not pass over this heap to thee, and that thou shall not pass over this heap and this pillar to me, for harm.
Akka ani si miidhuuf jedhee tuullaa kana darbee gara keetti hin ceene, akka atis na miidhuuf jettee tuullaa kanaa fi utubaa kana dabartee gara kootti hin ceene tuullaan kun ragaa dha; utubaan kunis ragaa dha.
53 The God of Abraham, and the God of Nahor, the God of their father, judge between us. And Jacob swore by the fear of his father Isaac.
Waaqni Abrahaam, Waaqni Naahoor, Waaqni abbootii isaanii nu gidduutti murtii haa kennu.” Yaaqoobis akkasitti maqaa Sodaa abbaa isaa Yisihaaqiin kakate.
54 And Jacob offered a sacrifice on the mountain, and called his brothers to eat bread. And they ate bread, and tarried all night on the mountain.
Innis biyya gaaraa sanatti aarsaa dhiʼeessee firoota isaa nyaatatti waame. Isaanis erga nyaatanii booddee achuma bulan.
55 And early in the morning Laban rose up, and kissed his sons and his daughters, and blessed them. And Laban departed and returned to his place.
Laabaanis guyyaa itti aanu ganama bariidhaan kaʼee ijoollee ijoollee isaatii fi intallan isaa dhungatee isaan eebbise. Ergasiis achii kaʼee gara iddoo isaatti deebiʼe.
