Genesis 31
1 Now Jacob heard that Laban’s sons were saying, “Jacob has taken away all that belonged to our father and built all this wealth at our father’s expense.”
Un viņš dzirdēja, ka Lābana bērni sacīja: Jēkabs visu paņēmis, kas mūsu tēvam pieder, un no tā, kas mūsu tēvam piederēja, viņš visu šo mantu ir krājis.
2 And Jacob saw from the countenance of Laban that his attitude toward him had changed.
Un Jēkabs redzēja Lābana vaigu, un redzi, tas nebija vairs, kā vakar un aizvakar.
3 Then the LORD said to Jacob, “Go back to the land of your fathers and to your kindred, and I will be with you.”
Un Tas Kungs sacīja uz Jēkabu: griezies atpakaļ uz savu tēva zemi un pie saviem radiem, un Es būšu ar tevi.
4 So Jacob sent word and called Rachel and Leah to the field where his flocks were,
Tad Jēkabs sūtīja un aicināja Rahēli un Leū uz lauku pie savām avīm,
5 and he told them, “I can see from your father’s countenance that his attitude toward me has changed; but the God of my father has been with me.
Un sacīja uz tām: es redzu jūsu tēva vaigu, ka tas nav pret mani kā vakar un aizvakar, bet mana tēva Dievs ir bijis ar mani.
6 You know that I have served your father with all my strength.
Un jūs zināt, ka ar visu savu spēku jūsu tēvam esmu kalpojis.
7 And although he has cheated me and changed my wages ten times, God has not allowed him to harm me.
Bet jūsu tēvs mani pievīlis un manu algu desmitkārt pārgrozījis; tomēr Dievs tam nav vaļas devis, man ļaunu darīt.
8 If he said, ‘The speckled will be your wages,’ then the whole flock bore speckled offspring. If he said, ‘The streaked will be your wages,’ then the whole flock bore streaked offspring.
Kad viņš tā sacīja: tām lāsainām būs tev būt par algu, tad visas avis vedās lāsainas; un kad viņš tā sacīja: tām strīpainām būs tev būt par algu, tad visas avis vedās strīpainas.
9 Thus God has taken away your father’s livestock and given them to me.
Tā Dievs jūsu tēvam tos lopus ir atņēmis un man devis.
10 When the flocks were breeding, I saw in a dream that the streaked, spotted, and speckled males were mating with the females.
Un notikās tanī laikā, kad avis apgājās, ka es savas acis pacēlu un redzēju sapnī, un redzi, tie āži, kas apgājās, bija strīpaini, raibi un lāsaini.
11 In that dream the angel of God said to me, ‘Jacob!’ And I replied, ‘Here I am.’
Tad tas Dieva eņģelis uz mani sacīja sapnī: Jēkab; un es sacīju: še es esmu.
12 ‘Look up,’ he said, ‘and see that all the males that are mating with the flock are streaked, spotted, or speckled; for I have seen all that Laban has done to you.
Un tas sacīja: pacel jel savas acis un skaties, - visi tekuļi, kas apietās ar tām avīm, ir strīpaini, lāsaini un raibi; jo Es visu to esmu redzējis, ko tev Lābans dara.
13 I am the God of Bethel, where you anointed the pillar and made a solemn vow to Me. Now get up and leave this land at once, and return to your native land.’”
Es esmu Bēteles Dievs, kur tu esi svaidījis piemiņas akmeni, kur tu man solīdamies esi solījies; celies nu un izej no šās zemes un griezies atpakaļ uz savu dzimteni.
14 And Rachel and Leah replied, “Do we have any portion or inheritance left in our father’s house?
Tad Rahēle un Lea atbildēja un uz to sacīja: vai mums vēl ir kāda daļa un mantība mūsu tēva namā?
15 Are we not regarded by him as outsiders? Not only has he sold us, but he has certainly squandered what was paid for us.
Vai mēs no viņa neesam turētas kā svešas? Jo viņš mūs ir pārdevis un arī mūsu maksu rīdams aprijis.
16 Surely all the wealth that God has taken away from our father belongs to us and to our children. So do whatever God has told you.”
Jo visa bagātība, ko Dievs mūsu tēvam ir atņēmis, pieder mums un mūsu bērniem; un nu dari visu to, ko Dievs tev ir sacījis.
17 Then Jacob got up and put his children and his wives on camels,
Un Jēkabs cēlās un lika savus bērnus un savas sievas uz kamieļiem;
18 and he drove all his livestock before him, along with all the possessions he had acquired in Paddan-aram, to go to his father Isaac in the land in Canaan.
Un aizveda visus savus lopus un visu savu mantu, ko Mezopotamijā bija pelnījis, ka ietu pie Īzaka, sava tēva, uz Kanaāna zemi.
19 Now while Laban was out shearing his sheep, Rachel stole her father’s household idols.
Un Lābans bija aizgājis savas avis cirpt, un Rahēle nozaga tos elka dievus, kas bija viņas tēvam.
20 Moreover, Jacob deceived Laban the Aramean by not telling him that he was running away.
Un Jēkabs pievīla Lābanu, to Sīrieti, nesacīdams, ka bēgšot.
21 So he fled with all his possessions, crossed the Euphrates, and headed for the hill country of Gilead.
Un viņš bēga ar visu, kas tam bija, un cēlās un pārcēlās pār to lielo upi un grieza savu vaigu uz Gileād kalniem.
22 On the third day Laban was informed that Jacob had fled.
Un trešā dienā Lābanam tapa sacīts, Jēkabu esam aizbēgušu.
23 So he took his relatives with him, pursued Jacob for seven days, and overtook him in the hill country of Gilead.
Tad tas ņēma savus brāļus un dzinās tam pakaļ septiņu dienu gājumu un to panāca uz Gileād kalniem.
24 But that night God came to Laban the Aramean in a dream and warned him, “Be careful not to say anything to Jacob, either good or bad.”
Bet Dievs nāca pie Lābana, tā Sīrieša, sapnī un tam sacīja: sargies, ka tu ar Jēkabu nerunā no laba uz ļaunu.
25 Now Jacob had pitched his tent in the hill country of Gilead when Laban overtook him, and Laban and his relatives camped there as well.
Un Lābans panāca Jēkabu; un Jēkabs savu telti bija uzcēlis kalnā, un Lābans ar saviem brāļiem to uzcēla Gileād kalnos.
26 Then Laban said to Jacob, “What have you done? You have deceived me and carried off my daughters like captives of war!
Tad Lābans sacīja uz Jēkabu: ko tu esi darījis, ka tu mani esi pievīlis un manas meitas aizvedis, tā kā ar zobenu saņemtas?
27 Why did you run away secretly and deceive me, without even telling me? I would have sent you away with joy and singing, with tambourines and harps.
Kam tu paslepen esi aizbēdzis un no manis nozadzies, un man to neesi sacījis, ka es tev būtu pavadījis ar līksmību un dziesmām, ar bungām un koklēm?
28 But you did not even let me kiss my grandchildren and my daughters goodbye. Now you have done a foolish thing.
Un tu man neesi ļāvis skūpstīt savus dēlus un savas meitas. Tu neprātīgi esi darījis.
29 I have power to do you great harm, but last night the God of your father said to me, ‘Be careful not to say anything to Jacob, either good or bad.’
Spēka gan būtu manā rokā jums ļaunu darīt, bet jūsu tēva Dievs vakar uz mani runājis sacīdams: sargies, ka tu ar Jēkabu nerunā no laba uz ļaunu.
30 Now you have gone off because you long for your father’s house. But why have you stolen my gods?”
Un nu, tu esi ātri aizgājis, jo tu esi ilgodamies ilgojies pēc sava tēva nama; - kāpēc tu esi nozadzis manus dievus?
31 “I was afraid,” Jacob answered, “for I thought you would take your daughters from me by force.
Tad Jēkabs atbildēja un sacīja uz Lābanu: man bija bail un es domāju, ka tu man savas meitas ar varu atņemsi.
32 If you find your gods with anyone here, he shall not live! In the presence of our relatives, see for yourself if anything is yours, and take it back.” For Jacob did not know that Rachel had stolen the idols.
Bet pie kura tu savus dievus atradīsi, tas lai nepaliek dzīvs mūsu brāļu priekšā. Izmeklē, kas man ir, un ņem tos. Bet Jēkabs nezināja, ka Rahēle tos bija nozagusi.
33 So Laban went into Jacob’s tent, then Leah’s tent, and then the tents of the two maidservants, but he found nothing. Then he left Leah’s tent and entered Rachel’s tent.
Un Lābans gāja Jēkaba teltī un Leas teltī un to abu kalpoņu teltī un neatrada nenieka; un izgāja no Leas telts un iegāja Rahēles teltī.
34 Now Rachel had taken Laban’s household idols, put them in the saddlebag of her camel, and was sitting on them. And Laban searched everything in the tent but found nothing.
Bet Rahēle tos elka dievus bija ņēmusi un nolikusi apakš kamieļa sedliem un uzsēdusies tiem virsū. Un Lābans apgrābstīja visu to telti un tos neatrada.
35 Rachel said to her father, “Sir, do not be angry that I cannot stand up before you; for I am having my period.” So Laban searched, but could not find the household idols.
Un tā sacīja uz savu tēvu: neapskaisties, mans kungs, ka es priekš tevis nevaru celties, jo man klājās, kā sievām mēdz būt. Un viņš pārmeklēdams neatrada tos elka dievus.
36 Then Jacob became incensed and challenged Laban. “What is my crime?” he said. “For what sin of mine have you so hotly pursued me?
Tad Jēkabs apskaitās un bārās un sacīja uz Lābanu: kas ir mans noziegums, kas ir mani grēki, ka tu tik karsti man esi dzinies pakaļ?
37 You have searched all my goods! Have you found anything that belongs to you? Put it here before my brothers and yours, that they may judge between the two of us.
Ka tu visus manus rīkus esi aptaustījis; ko tu esi atradis no visiem tava nama rīkiem? Liec to priekšā maniem un taviem brāļiem, ka tie starp mums abiem tiesā.
38 I have been with you for twenty years now. Your sheep and goats have not miscarried, nor have I eaten the rams of your flock.
Šos divdesmit gadus es pie tevis esmu bijis, tavas avis un tavas kazas nav izmetušās, un tos aunus no tavām avīm es neesmu ēdis.
39 I did not bring you anything torn by wild beasts; I bore the loss myself. And you demanded payment from me for what was stolen by day or night.
To saplosīto es tev neesmu pārnesis, tas man bija jāmaksā; no manas rokas tu to esi prasījis, vai tas bija zagts dienā, vai tas bija zagts naktī.
40 As it was, the heat consumed me by day and the frost by night, and sleep fled from my eyes.
Es esmu tāds bijis, ka mani dienā karstums nomāca un naktī aukstums, un miegs nenāca manās acīs.
41 Thus for twenty years I have served in your household—fourteen years for your two daughters and six years for your flocks—and you have changed my wages ten times!
Divdesmit gadus esmu bijis tavā namā, četrpadsmit gadus tev esmu kalpojis par tavām divām meitām un sešus gadus par tavām avīm, un tu manu algu desmitkārt esi pārgrozījis.
42 If the God of my father, the God of Abraham and the Fear of Isaac, had not been with me, surely by now you would have sent me away empty-handed. But God has seen my affliction and the toil of my hands, and last night He rendered judgment.”
Ja mana tēva Dievs, tas Ābrahāma Dievs un Tas, ko Īzaks bijās, pie manis nebūtu bijis, tu nu mani tukšu būtu aizsūtījis. Dievs manas bēdas un manu roku darbu ir uzlūkojis un tevi izgājušā naktī apsaucis.
43 But Laban answered Jacob, “These daughters are my daughters, these sons are my sons, and these flocks are my flocks! Everything you see is mine! Yet what can I do today about these daughters of mine or the children they have borne?
Tad Lābans atbildēja un sacīja uz Jēkabu: tās meitas ir manas meitas, un tie bērni ir mani bērni, un tās avis ir manas avis, un viss, ko tu redzi, tas ir mans; un ko es šodien darīšu šīm manām meitām vai viņu bērniem, ko tās ir dzemdējušas?
44 Come now, let us make a covenant, you and I, and let it serve as a witness between you and me.”
Un nu nāc, darīsim derību, es un tu, ka tā ir par liecību starp mani un tevi.
45 So Jacob picked out a stone and set it up as a pillar,
Un Jēkabs ņēma akmeni un to uzcēla par zīmi.
46 and he said to his relatives, “Gather some stones.” So they took stones and made a mound, and there by the mound they ate.
Un Jēkabs sacīja uz saviem brāļiem: salasiet akmeņus; un tie ņēma akmeņus un salika tos vienā kopā, un ēda tur virs tās kopas.
47 Laban called it Jegar-sahadutha, and Jacob called it Galeed.
Un Lābans to nosauca Jegar-Sahāduta (āramiski: liecības kopa), bet Jēkabs to nosauca Galed (ebrejiski: liecības kopa).
48 Then Laban declared, “This mound is a witness between you and me this day.” Therefore the place was called Galeed.
Un Lābans sacīja: šī kopa lai šodien liecību dod starp mani un tevi; tāpēc viņas vārdu nosauca Galedu
49 It was also called Mizpah, because Laban said, “May the LORD keep watch between you and me when we are absent from each other.
Un Micpu, tāpēc ka viņš sacīja: Tas Kungs lai skatās uz mani un uz tevi, kad mēs viens otru neredzēsim.
50 If you mistreat my daughters or take other wives, although no one is with us, remember that God is a witness between you and me.”
Ja tu apbēdināsi manas meitas un ņemsi citas sievas pie manām meitām klāt, - neviens nav pie mums, redzi, Dievs būs liecinieks starp mani un tevi.
51 Laban also said to Jacob, “Here is the mound, and here is the pillar I have set up between you and me.
Tad Lābans sacīja uz Jēkabu: redz, šī kopa, un redz, šī piemiņas zīme, ko es esmu uzcēlis starp mani un tevi.
52 This mound is a witness, and this pillar is a witness, that I will not go past this mound to harm you, and you will not go past this mound and pillar to harm me.
Šī kopa lai dod liecību un šī zīme lai dod liecību, ka es gar šo kopu nenoiešu pie tevis, ļauna darīt, un ka tev gar šo kopu un šo zīmi nebūs pie manis nākt, ļauna darīt.
53 May the God of Abraham and the God of Nahor, the God of their father, judge between us.” So Jacob swore by the Fear of his father Isaac.
Ābrahāma Dievs un Nahora Dievs un viņu tēvu Dievs lai tiesā starp mums.
54 Then Jacob offered a sacrifice on the mountain and invited his relatives to eat a meal. And after they had eaten, they spent the night on the mountain.
Un Jēkabs zvērēja pie tā, ko viņa tēvs Īzaks bijās, un upurēja upuri kalnā un aicināja savus brāļus maizi ēst. Un tie ēda maizi un palika par nakti uz tā kalna.
55 Early the next morning, Laban got up and kissed his grandchildren and daughters and blessed them. Then he left to return home.
Un Lābans cēlās rītā agri un skūpstīja savus bērnus un savas meitas un tos svētīja. Un Lābans aizgāja un griezās atpakaļ uz savu vietu.
