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.”
Lao esa, Yakob rena Labꞌan ana nara ola-olaꞌ rae, “Yakob namasuꞌi seli, huu ana ao nabasaꞌ hita ama na hata-heto nara.”
2 And Jacob saw from the countenance of Laban that his attitude toward him had changed.
Yakob o mete ama ari na matan nda matetuꞌ sa ena, ma nda malole onaꞌ feꞌesaꞌan sa.
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.”
Basa ma, LAMATUALAIN olaꞌ no Yakob nae, “Ia naa, fai na losa ena. Ho musi baliꞌ misiꞌ ina-ama mara. Dei fo Au o nggo.”
4 So Jacob sent word and called Rachel and Leah to the field where his flocks were,
Basa naa ma, Yakob denu reu roꞌe Rahel no Lea, fo reu randaa ro e sia mooꞌ mamana banda ra.
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.
Boe ma nafadꞌe se nae, “Fai maꞌabui na ia, au mete hei ama ma mata na nasat, ma nda maloleꞌ no au sa onaꞌ maꞌahulu na. Te Lamatualain fo ama ngga namahereꞌ a, no au.
6 You know that I have served your father with all my strength.
Hei ruꞌa nggi bubꞌuluꞌ, doo basa ia, au tao ues itaꞌ mamate ngga fee hei ama ma!
7 And although he has cheated me and changed my wages ten times, God has not allowed him to harm me.
Te onaꞌ naa o, ana eꞌedik au lao hetar ena. Ana nggati au bebꞌengge ngga losa lao sanahulu. Mae onaꞌ naa o, Lamatualain nanea nahereꞌ au.
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.
Leleꞌ hei ama ma olaꞌ nae, ‘Banda kokotoꞌ ra, seba neu ho,” boe ma, banda ra bꞌonggi na basa se kokotoꞌ. Faiꞌ ruma te, ana olaꞌ fai nae, ‘Ia naa, banda eꞌeꞌta ra dadꞌi ena ma,’ boe ma banda ra bꞌonggi na akaꞌ a eꞌeꞌta ra.
9 Thus God has taken away your father’s livestock and given them to me.
Lamatualain tao taꞌo naa, fo Ana haꞌi nala ama ma banda nara, fee neu au.
10 When the flocks were breeding, I saw in a dream that the streaked, spotted, and speckled males were mating with the females.
Lao esa, leleꞌ banda ra fula-fai rahoo na, au ulumein, ae basa banda mone mana mahooꞌ ra, akaꞌ a kokotoꞌ ma eꞌetaꞌ.
11 In that dream the angel of God said to me, ‘Jacob!’ And I replied, ‘Here I am.’
Au ulumein onaꞌ a Lamatualain ate na mia sorga noꞌe au nae, ‘We! Yakob!’ De au utaa ae, ‘Taꞌo bee, Lamatuaꞌ?’
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.
Ma ana nafadꞌe nae, ‘Mete dei! Basa banda mana mahooꞌ ra, akaꞌ a kokotoꞌ ma eꞌetaꞌ ra. Au mana tao naa ra, huu Au ita Labꞌan tatao na neu nggo.
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.’”
Au ia, Lamatualain mana natudꞌu Ao na neu nggo mia Betel. Sia naa, ho muririi fatu, ma mbori mina neu ata, de beꞌutee neu Au. Boe ma ho tao hehelu-fufuliꞌ mo Au sia naa. Ia naa, ho musi lao hela nusaꞌ ia, fo baliꞌ misiꞌ ina-ama ma nusa na.’”
14 And Rachel and Leah replied, “Do we have any portion or inheritance left in our father’s house?
Boe ma Lea no Rahel rataa rae, “Neu! Hai tunggaꞌ a! Hai nda afiꞌ miꞌena hata-hetoꞌ saa-saa mia ama Labꞌan sa ena.
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.
Dꞌoo na basa ia, toulasiꞌ a tao hai onaꞌ a atahori feaꞌ. Ana seo hendi hai ma naa hendi hai feli ma ena.
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.”
Basa hata-heto fo Lamatualain haꞌi mia ama Labꞌan, ia naa dadꞌi hita to tititi-nonosiꞌ tara hata-heto na ena. De mete ma Lamatualain nae taꞌo bee, naa, hai tunggaꞌ a!”
17 Then Jacob got up and put his children and his wives on camels,
Basa naa ma, Yakob mbedꞌaꞌ-nggao sudꞌi a saa nara, de nafufuaꞌ sao-ana nara reu banda onta ata. Ana o mboo nendi basa banda nara, ma nendi sudꞌi a saa nara fo ana hambu mia Padan Aram, fo baliꞌ Kanaꞌan reu.
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.
19 Now while Laban was out shearing his sheep, Rachel stole her father’s household idols.
Leleꞌ naa, Labꞌan neu nggute hiek-lombo ra fulu nara. De Rahel namanaꞌo nendi ama na paton sosonggo na.
20 Moreover, Jacob deceived Laban the Aramean by not telling him that he was running away.
Basa ma, Yakob se lao neneeꞌ a, nda rafadꞌe ama ari na sa.
21 So he fled with all his possessions, crossed the Euphrates, and headed for the hill country of Gilead.
Ana haꞌi nendi basa hata-heto nara, ma lao haelalai tungga loe Efrat, mbali lete Gilead reu.
22 On the third day Laban was informed that Jacob had fled.
Seli fai telu ma, Labꞌan hambu haraꞌ oi, Yakob se rela ena.
23 So he took his relatives with him, pursued Jacob for seven days, and overtook him in the hill country of Gilead.
Ana naꞌabꞌue atahori nara, de reu oi tungga ana mone feu na. Ara oi tungga se basa fai hitu, dei de hambu se mia lete-leteꞌ mana sia Gilead.
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.”
Tetembaꞌ naa, Lamatualain natudꞌu ao na neu Labꞌan mia meit rala. Ana nae, “Labꞌan! Mete ma olaꞌ mo Yakob, naa, munea mulolole bafa ma.”
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.
Tetembaꞌ naa, Yakob naririi lalaat sia lete Gilead. Ma Labꞌan se o raririi sira lalaat na nda naꞌadꞌodꞌooꞌ no naa sa.
26 Then Laban said to Jacob, “What have you done? You have deceived me and carried off my daughters like captives of war!
Basa ma, Labꞌan nema nandaa no Yakob. Ana olaꞌ nae, “He! Yakob! Taꞌo bee de ho mela mendi au ana feto nggara neuꞌ ena taꞌo ia? Onaꞌ a rambas mala se mia musu a.
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.
Hieꞌ o ho mela neeneeꞌ a, nda mutea au saꞌ boe! Onaꞌ a ho mufadꞌe au no malolole na, au tao fefetas, fo ro hei mo lii-liiꞌ ra, basa fo mboꞌi hei lao.
28 But you did not even let me kiss my grandchildren and my daughters goodbye. Now you have done a foolish thing.
Ho sala ma esa fai, ho nda fee au idꞌu umbu-ana nggara, dei fo mboꞌi hei sa. Tatao ma ia, nggoaꞌ!
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.’
Au bisa tao deꞌulaka neu nggo no mudaꞌ! Te tembaꞌ a, Lamatualain, fo ama ma namahereꞌ a, ai au nae, mete ma au olaꞌ o nggo, naa, musi unea bafa ngga malolole.
30 Now you have gone off because you long for your father’s house. But why have you stolen my gods?”
Memaꞌ ho mae lao o nda saa saꞌ boe, huu hii maeꞌ a baliꞌ ena. Te taꞌo bee de ho feꞌe mumunaꞌo mendi au paton sosonggo nggara?”
31 “I was afraid,” Jacob answered, “for I thought you would take your daughters from me by force.
Yakob nataa nae, “Toꞌo afiꞌ mumunasa au! Au lao nenee na, huu umutau, afiꞌ losa toꞌo ai hela ana nggara, naa, taꞌo bee?”
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.
Te Yakob nda nahine nae sao na Rahel haꞌi nendi paton naa ra sa. De ana nae, “Toꞌo! Paton naa ra sangga neuꞌ ena! Mete ma hambu sia seka, naa, hukun misa e. Lengga-ofe basa e! Mete ma toꞌo hambu bua pusaka feaꞌ mara, naa, haꞌi mala baliꞌ se. Hela fo basa atahori ia ra, dadꞌi sakasii.”
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.
Boe ma Labꞌan neu lengga-ofe esa-esaꞌ lalaat na. Naꞌahuluꞌ mia Yakob lalaat na. Basa de, mia Lea lalaat na. Dei de ate ina karuaꞌ ra lalaat nara. Te nda nita paton na sa. Dei de, ana nisiꞌ Rahel lalaat na.
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.
Te Rahel funi paton naa ra sia banda onta lalakat na raeꞌ. De ana endoꞌ neu lalakat naa ataꞌ. Labꞌan lengga-ofe lutuꞌ-leloꞌ sia Rahel lalaat na, te nda nita sa.
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.
Ma Rahel olaꞌ no ama na nae, “Amaꞌ afiꞌ mumunasa. Au nda umburiiꞌ ala sa, te au hambu hedꞌi inaꞌ.” Boe ma Labꞌan sangga fai, te nda nita paton naa ra sa.
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?
Boe ma Yakob namanasa, de bua Labꞌan nae, “Au tao salaꞌ saa o toꞌo? De toꞌo nema oi tungga au, onaꞌ au atahori deꞌulakaꞌ!
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.
Toꞌo lengga-ofe basa sudꞌi a saa ra ena. De toꞌo hambu saa? Tao sobꞌa se reu mataꞌ ia fo basa nggita mete! Naa fo atahori ia ra raꞌetuꞌ, sudꞌiꞌ a saa ra, seka ena na.
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.
Au dadꞌi toꞌo kuli na, too rua nulu ena. Au unea toꞌo banda nara, esa nda hendir saꞌ boe. Ma au nda ua esa saꞌ boe!
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.
Mete ma banda fui ra tao risa toꞌo banda na esa, au nda ufadꞌe toꞌo sa, te au nggati. Ma mete ma atahori ramanaꞌo toꞌo banda na, toꞌo fee au nggati, mae au nda sala sa o.
40 As it was, the heat consumed me by day and the frost by night, and sleep fled from my eyes.
Rereloꞌ na, relo a haa au. Ma tetembaꞌ na, au maꞌarini huu maꞌasufuꞌ a. Au beꞌe nda sungguꞌ ala sa, huu unea toꞌo banda nara.
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!
Memaꞌ taꞌo naa, losa too rua nulu. Au tao ues too sanahulu haa, de hambu toꞌo ana feto nara. Basa ma, tao ues too nee fai, de hambu banda nggara. Tao ues doo basa na, te toꞌo nggati naꞌamiminaꞌ au sesebꞌa ngga lao sanahulu.
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.”
Andiꞌ a Lamatualain, fo baꞌi Abraham no baꞌi Isak ramahereꞌ a. Onaꞌ Ana nda nanea au sa, naa, toꞌo denu oi hendi au ena, no lima rouꞌ. Te Lamatualain nda naꞌapopokeꞌ mata Na neu au sususa ngga sa, ma Ana nita basa ue-taos nggara. Naa de, tembaꞌ a, Ana nema ai toꞌo.”
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?
Labꞌan rena Yakob olaꞌ taꞌo naa ma, ana nataa nae, “Taꞌo ia! Ana ina karuaꞌ ra naa ra, au ana nggara. Ara bꞌonggi ralaꞌ ra, au umbu nggara. Basa banda ia ra, au ena nggara. Basa ho mitaꞌ ra, memaꞌ au ena ngga. Te au ae tao saa? Au nda bisa ai se sa.
44 Come now, let us make a covenant, you and I, and let it serve as a witness between you and me.”
Malole lenaꞌ, ruꞌa nggita tao hehelu-fufuliꞌ, fo tasodꞌa tungga e.”
45 So Jacob picked out a stone and set it up as a pillar,
Basa ma, Yakob haꞌi fatu monaeꞌ esa, de naririi neu naa, dadꞌi tatandaꞌ.
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.
Ana o denu atahori nara, reu kumbu fatu, fo lutu mbatu. Basa ma, ara endoꞌ raa deka fatu naa ra.
47 Laban called it Jegar-sahadutha, and Jacob called it Galeed.
Labꞌan babꞌae lutu mbatu naa, Yegar Sahaduta. Te Yakob babꞌae naran, Galeed.
48 Then Laban declared, “This mound is a witness between you and me this day.” Therefore the place was called Galeed.
Boe ma Labꞌan nae, “Fatu nenelutu mbatuꞌ ia dadꞌi sakasii fee ruꞌa nggita.” Naa de, mamanaꞌ naa, naran, Galeed.
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.
Labꞌan o babꞌae mamanaꞌ naa naran, Mispa (onaꞌ dedꞌea feaꞌ esa, fo sosoa na ‘mamana nenea naruꞌ’), huu ana olaꞌ nae, “Dei fo LAMATUALAIN nanea ruꞌa nggita, fo mae hita esa naꞌadooꞌ no esa o, ata afiꞌ liliꞌ hehelu-fufuliꞌ ia.
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.”
Mete ma ho tao deꞌulakaꞌ neu au ana ngga ia ra, do sao mo ina feaꞌ fai, naa, au nda bubꞌuluꞌ sa. Te musunedꞌa! Lamatualain dadꞌi sakasii neu rua nggita.
51 Laban also said to Jacob, “Here is the mound, and here is the pillar I have set up between you and me.
Mete sobꞌa fatu mana ririiꞌ ia, no fatu manalutu mbatuꞌ ia. Musunedꞌa, fatu ia ra, o dadꞌi lalaneꞌ. Ho afiꞌ lao seli fatu lalaneꞌ ia ra, fo tao deꞌulakaꞌ neu au. Ma au o afiꞌ lao seli fatu ia ra, fo tao deꞌulakaꞌ neu nggo.
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.
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.
Hita tao hehelu-fufuliꞌ ia, tendiꞌ hita bei-baꞌi nara Lamatualain na. Eni, ho baꞌi ma Abraham, ma au baꞌi ngga Nahor Lamatualain na. Dei fo Ana dadꞌi mana maꞌetuꞌ hita dedꞌea na.” Yakob rena taꞌo naa ma, ana soꞌu susumbaꞌ, nendiꞌ Lamatualain naran fo ama na Isak beꞌutee neuꞌ a.
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.
Basa naa ma, Yakob hala banda, de nendi dadꞌi tutunu-hohotuꞌ fee Lamatualain sia leteꞌ naa ata. Ana noꞌe basa atahori ra, de raa raꞌabꞌue, ma beꞌe losa fefetun.
55 Early the next morning, Laban got up and kissed his grandchildren and daughters and blessed them. Then he left to return home.
Mbila fefetu na ma, Labꞌan neu holu-idꞌu basa umbu-ana nara. Ana olaꞌ fee se papala-babꞌanggiꞌ, de baliꞌ nisiꞌ nusa na.
