Genesis 31

1 Now it came to the ears of Jacob that Laban's sons were saying, Jacob has taken away all our father's property, and in this way he has got all this wealth.

Então ouvia as palavras dos filhos de Labão, que diziam: Jacob tem tomado tudo o que era de nosso pae, e do que era de nosso pae fez elle toda esta gloria.

2 And Jacob saw that Laban's feeling for him was no longer what it had been before.

Viu tambem Jacob o rosto de Labão, e eis que não era para com elle como d'hontem e d'ante-hontem.

3 Then the Lord said to Jacob, Go back to the land of your fathers, and to your relations, and I will be with you.

E disse o Senhor a Jacob: Torna-te á terra dos teus paes, e á tua parentela, e eu serei comtigo.

4 And Jacob sent for Rachel and Leah to come to him in the field among his flock.

Então enviou Jacob, e chamou a Rachel e a Leah ao campo, ao seu rebanho,

5 And he said to them, It is clear to me that your father's feeling is no longer what it was to me; but the God of my father has been with me

E disse-lhes: Vejo que o rosto de vosso pae para commigo não é como d'hontem e d'ante-hontem; porém o Deus de meu pae esteve commigo;

6 And you have seen how I have done all in my power for your father,

E vós mesmas sabeis que com todo o meu poder tenho servido a vosso pae;

7 But your father has not kept faith with me, and ten times he has made changes in my payment; but God has kept him from doing me damage.

Mas vosso pae me enganou e mudou o salario dez vezes; porém Deus não lhe permittiu que me fizesse mal.

8 If he said, All those in the flock which have marks are to be yours, then all the flock gave birth to marked young; and if he said, All the banded ones are to be yours, then all the flock had banded young.

Quando elle dizia assim: Os salpicados serão o teu salario; então todos os rebanhos pariam salpicados. E quando elle dizia assim: Os listrados serão o teu salario, então todos os teus rebanhos pariam listrados.

9 So God has taken away your father's cattle and has given them to me.

Assim Deus tirou o gado de vosso pae, e m'o deu a mim.

10 And at the time when the flock were with young, I saw in a dream that all the he-goats which were joined with the she-goats were banded and marked and coloured.

E succedeu que, ao tempo em que o rebanho concebia, eu levantei os meus olhos, e vi em sonhos, e eis que os bodes, que cobriam as ovelhas, eram listrados, salpicados e malhados.

11 And in my dream the angel of the Lord said to me, Jacob: and I said, Here am I.

E disse-me o anjo de Deus em sonhos: Jacob. E eu disse: Eis-me aqui.

12 And he said, See how all the he-goats are banded and marked and coloured: for I have seen what Laban has done to you.

E disse elle: Levanta agora os teus olhos, e vê todos os bodes que cobrem o rebanho, que são listrados, salpicados e malhados: porque tenho visto tudo o que Labão te fez.

13 I am the God of Beth-el, where you put oil on the pillar and took an oath to me: now then, come out of this land and go back to the country of your birth.

Eu sou o Deus de Beth-el, onde teus ungido uma columna, onde me tens votado o voto; levanta-te agora, sae-te d'esta terra, e torna-te á terra da tua parentela.

14 Then Rachel and Leah said to him in answer, What part or heritage is there for us in our father's house?

Então responderam Rachel e Leah, e disseram-lhe: Ha ainda para nós parte ou herança na casa de nosso pae?

15 Are we not as people from a strange country to him? for he took a price for us and now it is all used up.

Não nos considera elle como estranhas? pois vendeu-nos, e comeu de todo o nosso dinheiro.

16 For the wealth which God has taken from him is ours and our children's; so now, whatever God has said to you, do.

Porque toda a riqueza, que Deus tirou de nosso pae, é nossa e de nossos filhos: agora pois, faze tudo o que Deus te tem dito.

17 Then Jacob put his wives and his sons on camels;

Então se levantou Jacob, pondo os seus filhos e as suas mulheres sobre os camelos;

18 And sending on before him all his cattle and his property which he had got together in Paddan-aram, he made ready to go to Isaac his father in the land of Canaan.

E levou todo o seu gado, e toda a sua fazenda, que havia adquirido, o gado que possuia, que alcançara em Paddan-aram, para ir a Isaac, seu pae, á terra de Canaan.

19 Now Laban had gone to see to the cutting of the wool of his sheep; so Rachel secretly took the images of the gods of her father's house.

E havendo Labão ido a tosquiar as suas ovelhas, furtou Rachel os idolos que seu pae tinha.

20 And Jacob went away secretly, without giving news of his flight to Laban the Aramaean.

E esquivou-se Jacob de Labão o arameo, porque não lhe fez saber que fugia.

21 So he went away with all he had, and went across the River in the direction of the hill-country of Gilead.

E fugiu elle com tudo o que tinha, e levantou-se, e passou o rio: e poz o seu rosto para a montanha de Gilead.

22 And on the third day Laban had news of Jacob's flight.

E no terceiro dia foi annunciado a Labão que Jacob tinha fugido.

23 And taking the men of his family with him, he went after him for seven days and overtook him in the hill-country of Gilead.

Então tomou comsigo os seus irmãos, e atraz d'elle proseguiu o caminho por sete dias; e alcançou-o na montanha de Gilead.

24 Then God came to Laban in a dream by night, and said to him, Take care that you say nothing good or bad to Jacob.

Veiu porém Deus a Labão o arameo em sonhos de noite, e disse-lhe: Guarda-te, que não falles com Jacob nem bem nem mal.

25 Now when Laban overtook him, Jacob had put up his tent in the hill-country; and Laban and his brothers put up their tents in the hill-country of Gilead.

Alcançou pois Labão a Jacob, e armara Jacob a sua tenda n'aquella montanha: armou tambem Labão com os seus irmãos a sua na montanha de Gilead.

26 And Laban said to Jacob, Why did you go away secretly, taking my daughters away like prisoners of war?

Então disse Labão a Jacob: Que fizeste, que te esquivaste de mim, e levaste as minhas filhas como captivas pela espada?

27 Why did you make a secret of your flight, not giving me word of it, so that I might have sent you away with joy and songs, with melody and music?

Porque fugiste occultamente, e te esquivaste de mim, e não me fizeste saber, para que eu te enviasse com alegria, e com canticos, e com tamboril e com harpa?

28 You did not even let me give a kiss to my sons and my daughters. This was a foolish thing to do.

Tambem não me permittiste beijar os meus filhos e as minhas filhas. Loucamente pois agora fizeste, fazendo assim.

29 It is in my power to do you damage: but the God of your father came to me this night, saying, Take care that you say nothing good or bad to Jacob.

Poder havia em minha mão para vos fazer mal, mas o Deus de vosso pae me fallou hontem á noite, dizendo: Guarda-te, que não falles com Jacob nem bem nem mal.

30 And now, it seems, you are going because your heart's desire is for your father's house; but why have you taken my gods?

E agora te querias ir embora, porquanto tinhas saudades de voltar a casa de teu pae; porque furtaste os meus deuses?

31 And Jacob, in answer, said to Laban, My fear was that you might take your daughters from me by force.

Então respondeu Jacob, e disse a Labão: Porque temia; pois que dizia commigo, se porventura me não arrebatarias as tuas filhas.

32 As for your gods, if anyone of us has them, let him be put to death: make search before us all for what is yours, and take it. For Jacob had no knowledge that Rachel had taken them.

Com quem achares os teus deuses, esse não viva; reconhece diante de nossos irmãos o que é teu do que está commigo, e toma-o para ti. Pois Jacob não sabia que Rachel os tinha furtado.

33 So Laban went into Jacob's tent and into Leah's tent, and into the tents of the two servant-women, but they were not there; and he came out of Leah's tent and went into Rachel's.

Então entrou Labão na tenda de Jacob, e na tenda de Leah, e na tenda d'ambas as servas, e não os achou; e saindo da tenda de Leah, entrou na tenda de Rachel.

34 Now Rachel had taken the images, and had put them in the camels' basket, and was seated on them. And Laban, searching through all the tent, did not come across them.

Mas tinha tomado Rachel os idolos, e os tinha posto na albarda de um camelo, e assentara-se sobre elles; e apalpou Labão toda a tenda, e não os achou.

35 And she said to her father, Let not my lord be angry because I do not get up before you, for I am in the common condition of women. And with all his searching, he did not come across the images.

E ella disse a seu pae: Não se accenda a ira aos olhos de meu senhor, que não posso levantar-me diante da tua face; porquanto tenho o costume das mulheres. E elle procurou, mas não achou os idolos.

36 Then Jacob was angry with Laban, and said, What crime or sin have I done that you have come after me with such passion?

Então irou-se Jacob, e contendeu com Labão; e respondeu Jacob, e disse a Labão: Qual é a minha transgressão? qual é o meu peccado, que tão furiosamente me tens perseguido?

37 Now that you have made search through all my goods, what have you seen which is yours? Make it clear now before my people and your people, so that they may be judges between us.

Havendo apalpado todos os meus moveis, que achaste de todos os moveis da tua casa? põe-o aqui diante dos meus irmãos, e teus irmãos; e que julguem entre nós ambos.

38 These twenty years I have been with you; your sheep and your goats have had young without loss, not one of your he-goats have I taken for food.

Estes vinte annos eu estive comtigo, as tuas ovelhas e as tuas cabras nunca moveram, e não comi os carneiros do teu rebanho.

39 Anything which was wounded by beasts I did not take to you, but myself made up for the loss of it; you made me responsible for whatever was taken by thieves, by day or by night.

Não te trouxe eu o despedaçado; eu o pagava; o furtado de dia e o furtado de noite da minha mão o requerias.

40 This was my condition, wasted by heat in the day and by the bitter cold at night; and sleep went from my eyes.

Estive eu de sorte que de dia me consumia o calor, e de noite a geada; e o meu somno foi-se dos meus olhos.

41 These twenty years I have been in your house; I was your servant for fourteen years because of your daughters, and for six years I kept your flock, and ten times was my payment changed.

Tenho estado agora vinte annos na tua casa; quatorze annos te servi por tuas duas filhas, e seis annos por teu rebanho; mas o meu salario tens mudado dez vezes.

42 If the God of my father, the God of Abraham and the Fear of Isaac, had not been with me, you would have sent me away with nothing in my hands. But God has seen my troubles and the work of my hands, and this night he kept you back.

Se o Deus de meu pae, o Deus de Abrahão, e o Temor de Isaac não fôra commigo, por certo me enviarias agora vazio. Deus attendeu á minha afflicção, e ao trabalho das minhas mãos, e reprehendeu-te hontem á noite.

43 Then Laban, answering, said, These women are my daughters and these children my children, the flocks and all you see are mine: what now may I do for my daughters and for their children?

Então respondeu Labão, e disse a Jacob: Estas filhas são minhas filhas, e estes filhos são meus filhos, e este rebanho é o meu rebanho, e tudo o que vês, meu é: e que farei hoje a estas minhas filhas, ou a seus filhos, que pariram?

44 Come, let us make an agreement, you and I; and let it be for a witness between us.

Agora pois vem, e façamos concerto eu e tu, que seja por testemunho entre mim e ti.

45 Then Jacob took a stone and put it up as a pillar.

Então tomou Jacob uma pedra, e erigiu-a por columna.

46 And Jacob said to his people, Get stones together; and they did so; and they had a meal there by the stones.

E disse Jacob a seus irmãos: Ajuntae pedras. E tomaram pedras, e fizeram um montão, e comeram ali sobre aquelle montão.

47 And the name Laban gave it was Jegar-sahadutha: but Jacob gave it the name of Galeed.

E chamou-o Labão Jegar-sahadutha: porém Jacob chamou-o Galeed.

48 And Laban said, These stones are a witness between you and me today. For this reason its name was Galeed,

Então disse Labão: Este montão seja hoje por testemunha entre mim e entre ti: por isso se chamou o seu nome Galeed,

49 And Mizpah, for he said, May the Lord keep watch on us when we are unable to see one another's doings.

E Mizpah, porquanto disse: Attente o Senhor entre mim e ti, quando nós estivermos apartados um do outro:

50 If you are cruel to my daughters, or if you take other wives in addition to my daughters, then though no man is there to see, God will be the witness between us.

Se affligires as minhas filhas, e se tomares mulheres além das minhas filhas, ninguem está comnosco: attenta que Deus é testemunha entre mim e ti

51 And Laban said, See these stones and this pillar which I have put between you and me;

Disse mais Labão a Jacob: Eis aqui este mesmo montão, e eis aqui essa columna que levantei entre mim e entre ti.

52 They will be witness that I will not go over these stones to you, and you will not go over these stones or this pillar to me, for any evil purpose.

Este montão seja testemunha, e esta columna seja testemunha, que eu não passarei este montão a ti, e que tu não passarás este montão e esta columna a mim, para mal.

53 May the God of Abraham and the God of Nahor, the God of their father, be our judge. Then Jacob took an oath by the Fear of his father Isaac.

O Deus de Abrahão, e o Deus de Nahor, o Deus de seu pae julgue entre nós. E jurou Jacob pelo Temor de seu pae Isaac.

54 And Jacob made an offering on the mountain, and gave orders to his people to take food: so they had a meal and took their rest that night on the mountain.

E sacrificou Jacob um sacrificou na montanha, e convidou seus irmãos, para comer pão; e comeram pão, e passaram a noite na montanha.

55 And early in the morning Laban, after kissing and blessing his daughters, went on his way back to his country.

E levantou-se Labão pela manhã de madrugada, e beijou seus filhos, e suas filhas, e abençoou-os, e partiu; e voltou Labão ao seu logar.
