< 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.
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 that Laban's feeling for him was no longer what it had been before.
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 relations, 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 And Jacob sent for Rachel and Leah to come to him in the field among his flock.
Basa naa ma, Yakob denu reu roꞌe Rahel no Lea, fo reu randaa ro e sia mooꞌ mamana banda ra.
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
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 And you have seen how I have done all in my power for your father,
Hei ruꞌa nggi bubꞌuluꞌ, doo basa ia, au tao ues itaꞌ mamate ngga fee hei ama ma!
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.
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, 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.
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 So God has taken away your father's cattle and has given them to me.
Lamatualain tao taꞌo naa, fo Ana haꞌi nala ama ma banda nara, fee neu au.
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.
Lao esa, leleꞌ banda ra fula-fai rahoo na, au ulumein, ae basa banda mone mana mahooꞌ ra, akaꞌ a kokotoꞌ ma eꞌetaꞌ.
11 And in my dream the angel of the Lord said to me, Jacob: and I said, Here am I.
Au ulumein onaꞌ a Lamatualain ate na mia sorga noꞌe au nae, ‘We! Yakob!’ De au utaa ae, ‘Taꞌo bee, Lamatuaꞌ?’
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.
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 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.
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 Then Rachel and Leah said to him in answer, What part or heritage is there for us 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 as people from a strange country to him? for he took a price for us and now it is all used up.
Dꞌoo na basa ia, toulasiꞌ a tao hai onaꞌ a atahori feaꞌ. Ana seo hendi hai ma naa hendi hai feli ma ena.
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.
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 put his wives and his sons 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 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.
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.
Leleꞌ naa, Labꞌan neu nggute hiek-lombo ra fulu nara. De Rahel namanaꞌo nendi ama na paton sosonggo na.
20 And Jacob went away secretly, without giving news of his flight to Laban the Aramaean.
Basa ma, Yakob se lao neneeꞌ a, nda rafadꞌe ama ari na sa.
21 So he went away with all he had, and went across the River in the direction of the hill-country of Gilead.
Ana haꞌi nendi basa hata-heto nara, ma lao haelalai tungga loe Efrat, mbali lete Gilead reu.
22 And on the third day Laban had news of Jacob's flight.
Seli fai telu ma, Labꞌan hambu haraꞌ oi, Yakob se rela ena.
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.
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 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.
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 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.
Tetembaꞌ naa, Yakob naririi lalaat sia lete Gilead. Ma Labꞌan se o raririi sira lalaat na nda naꞌadꞌodꞌooꞌ no naa sa.
26 And Laban said to Jacob, Why did you go away secretly, taking my daughters away like prisoners 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 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?
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 You did not even let me give a kiss to my sons and my daughters. This was a foolish thing to do.
Ho sala ma esa fai, ho nda fee au idꞌu umbu-ana nggara, dei fo mboꞌi hei sa. Tatao ma ia, nggoaꞌ!
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.
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 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?
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 And Jacob, in answer, said to Laban, My fear was that you might 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 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.
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 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.
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 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.
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 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.
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 was angry with Laban, and said, What crime or sin have I done that you have come after me with such passion?
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 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.
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 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.
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 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.
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 This was my condition, wasted by heat in the day and by the bitter cold at night; and sleep went 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 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.
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, 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.
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 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?
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, let us make an agreement, you and I; and let it be for a witness between us.
Malole lenaꞌ, ruꞌa nggita tao hehelu-fufuliꞌ, fo tasodꞌa tungga e.”
45 Then Jacob took a stone and put it up as a pillar.
Basa ma, Yakob haꞌi fatu monaeꞌ esa, de naririi neu naa, dadꞌi tatandaꞌ.
46 And Jacob said to his people, Get stones together; and they did so; and they had a meal there by the stones.
Ana o denu atahori nara, reu kumbu fatu, fo lutu mbatu. Basa ma, ara endoꞌ raa deka fatu naa ra.
47 And the name Laban gave it was Jegar-sahadutha: but Jacob gave it the name of Galeed.
Labꞌan babꞌae lutu mbatu naa, Yegar Sahaduta. Te Yakob babꞌae naran, Galeed.
48 And Laban said, These stones are a witness between you and me today. For this reason its name was Galeed,
Boe ma Labꞌan nae, “Fatu nenelutu mbatuꞌ ia dadꞌi sakasii fee ruꞌa nggita.” Naa de, mamanaꞌ naa, naran, Galeed.
49 And Mizpah, for he said, May the Lord keep watch on us when we are unable to see one another's doings.
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 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.
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 And Laban said, See these stones and this pillar which I have put 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 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.
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.
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 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.
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 And early in the morning Laban, after kissing and blessing his daughters, went on his way back to his country.
Mbila fefetu na ma, Labꞌan neu holu-idꞌu basa umbu-ana nara. Ana olaꞌ fee se papala-babꞌanggiꞌ, de baliꞌ nisiꞌ nusa na.
