< Genesis 31 >
1 But afterwards, he heard the words of the sons of Laban, saying, “Jacob has taken all that was our father’s, and being enlarged by his ability, he has become famous.”
Lebani mofavre naga'mo'za agriku'ma nehaza ke'ma Jekopu'ma antahi'neana amanage hu'naze, Jekopu'a nerafa zana maka eri vaganereno, nerafa zanteti agra feno vahe fore huno manie.
2 Likewise, he observed that Laban’s face was not the same toward him as it was yesterday and the day before.
Hanki Jekopu'a Lebani avu'ava'ma keana ko'ma nehiaza osuno, avugosa hunenanteno ha' vahe'mo hiaza hu'ne.
3 Most importantly, the Lord was saying to him, “Return to the land of your fathers and to your generation, and I will be with you.”
Ana nehigeno Ra Anumzamo'a anage huno Jekopuna asmi'ne, Nagra kagrane manigahuanki ete negafane vaheka'a moparega vuo.
4 He sent and called for Rachel and Leah, in the field where he pastured the flocks,
Higeno Jekopu'a ana kema nentahino'a afu'zagama zamavareno ome zamate'noma mani'nerega e'ogu, Resoline, Liagiznirega ke atreznantegeke,
5 and he said to them: “I see that your father’s face is not the same toward me as it was yesterday and the day before. But the God of my father has been with me.
anante akeno amanage huno zanasmi'ne, neranafa'a ko'ma nehiaza huno nagranena kiza zokago huno menina omanie. Hagi avugosamo'a ruzahu nehige'na negoe. Hianagi nenfa Anumzamo'a nagrane mani'ne.
6 And you know that I have served your father with all my strength.
Nagrama neranafa eri'zama tusi namu'na sisi nehige'na hanaveni'a atre'nama eri'noana, tanagra nageta antahita hu'na'e.
7 Even so, your father has circumvented me, and he has changed my wages ten times. And yet God has not permitted him to harm me.
Anama hu'nogura agesa ontahino, renavatga huno mizani'a 10ni'a zupa eri antenaga henka hu'ne. Hianagi Anumzamo'a atregeno nazeri havizana osu'ne.
8 Whenever he said, ‘The speckled will be your wages,’ all the sheep gave birth to speckled newborns. Yet truly, when he said the contrary, ‘You will take whatever is white for your wages,’ all the flocks gave birth to white ones.
Kora Lebani'a amanage huno nasmi'neane, maka'a tupri tapri azoka'ene afu'zaga eri'za enerina mizanka'e, higeno tupri tapri ke'za fore hu'ne. Hagi agrono tegre ramira mizanka'e hiana, anazanke hu'ne.
9 And it is God who has taken your father’s substance and given it to me.
E'ina higeno Anumzamo'a neranafa azampintira memeramine, sipisipiramine, rama'a nagri avre nami vagare'ne.
10 For after the time had arrived for the ewes to conceive, I lifted up my eyes, and I saw in my sleep that the males climbing on the females were of variegated, and spotted, and diverse colors.
Hanki afu'zagamo'ma agafima ahea knafi amanahu ava'na ke'noe. Maka'a ve mememofo avufgarera tupri tapri ene agrono krerami krerami hu'nea azoka me'nege'na negogeno, a' mememofo agumpina mareri'ne.
11 And the Angel of God said to me in my sleep, ‘Jacob.’ And I responded, ‘Here I am.’
Anumzamofo ankeromo'a ava'nafi amanage huno nagia ahe'ne. Jekopuo! Hige'na ama mani'noe hu'na hugeno,
12 And he said: ‘Lift up your eyes, and see that all the males climbing on the females are variegated, spotted, and also speckled. For I have seen all that Laban has done to you.
Anumzamofo ankeromo'a amanage hu'ne, tupri tapri'ene avon krerami'nea ve meme zagamo'a a' meme agumpima marerime neviana, kesga hunka ko, Lebani'ma maka'a avu'ava zama hunegante'mofona, Nagra ko ke'noe.
13 I am the God of Bethel, where you anointed the stone and made a vow to me. Now therefore arise, and depart from this land, returning to the land of your nativity.’”
Nagra Betelima efore'ma hugenka have eri atru hunka masave taginka frenentenka navufi huvempa hu'nana Anumzamo'na nehuanki menina otinka ama kumara atrenka, fore'ma hu'nana kumatega vuo huno hu'ne.
14 And Rachel and Leah responded: “Have we anything left behind among the resources and inheritance of our father’s house?
Higeke Resolike, Liakea ana naneke nentahi'ne, amanage hu'na'e. Tagra nerafa afu fenompintira mago'zama erisu'a zana huhampri orante'neanki, na'a hugahu'e?
15 Has he not considered us as foreigners, and sold us, and consumed our price?
Hagi nerfa'a ko hurantegeta ruregati emani vahe kna hu'noe. Tagrira ko mizante tatre'ne, Tagriteti afufeno eriana ko ana afu fenona atre hana hu'ne.
16 But God has taken our father’s riches and handed these to us and to our sons. Therefore, do all that God has instructed you.”
Tamage nerfa azampinti Anumzamo'a maka zana kagri hanare kamiana, e'i ana maka zana tagri'ene mofavre'tine suzane. E'ina hu'negu Anumzamo'ma kasami'niaza huo.
17 And so Jacob rose up, and having placed the children and his wives upon camels, he went forth.
Hagi Jekopu'a maka a'mofavre'a, kemori afutamimofo zamagumpi zamavarentere nehuno,
18 And he took all his substance and flocks, and whatever he had acquired in Mesopotamia, and he journeyed to his father Isaac, in the land of Canaan.
maka'a afu'ane, fenoma'ane emani'neno eritru hu'nea zana zogi hana huno Padan-Aram mopa atreno, Kenani moparega nefa Aisaki'ma mani'nerega vu'ne.
19 At that time, Laban had gone to shear the sheep, and so Rachel stole her father’s idols.
Hagi Lebani'a afete umani'neno, sipisipi azoka neharegeno, Kenanima vunaku'ma retrotra nehazageno'a, Resoli'a nompi marerino Lebani'ma havi anumzante mono hunentea zana, musufa seno erino vu'ne.
20 And Jacob was not willing to confess to his father-in-law that he was fleeing.
Jekopu'a Arameania nera Lebanina osami revatga nehuno freno vu'ne.
21 And when he had gone away with all such things that were justly his, and, having crossed the river, was continuing on toward Mount Gilead,
Jekopu'a maka zama'a enerino otino fre'no vuno, Yufretis tina takaheno Gileati agonarega avugosa hunteno vu'ne.
22 it was reported to Laban on the third day that Jacob had fled.
Hagi taregna evutege'za anante knazupa mago'a vahe'mo'za, Jekopu'a hago katreno fre'ne hu'za Lebanina ome asami'naze.
23 And taking his brothers with him, he pursued him for seven days. And he overtook him at Mount Gilead.
Lebani'a ananke nentahino naga'a nezamavareno Jekopuna arotgo hu'za vu'naze. Hagi agene re'nazana 7ni'a hanine, zagene karanka mase'naze. Hagi Jekopu'a Gileati agonafi mani'nege'za ome azeri'naze.
24 And he saw in a dream, God saying to him, “Beware that you not speak anything harsh against Jacob.”
Hianagi Anumzamo'a Arameani ne' Lebanina kenage ava'nafi efore humino anage huno asami'ne, Kva huo, Jekopuna magore hunka so'e kefi havigea huonto.
25 And now Jacob had pitched his tent at the mountain. And when he, with his brothers, had overtaken him, he set his tent at the same place at Mount Gilead.
Jekopu'a seli no omegino agonafi mase'negeno, Lebani'a ana agonafi Jekopu'na ome azeri'ne. Hagi Lebani'a vahe'ane mago kaziga seli no omegino, Gileati agonafi mase'naze.
26 And he said to Jacob: “Why have you acted this way, departing from me in secret, with my daughters like captives of the sword?
Lebani'a anage huno Jekopuna asami'ne, Kagra nahigenka renavatga hutenka mofani'ararena hapinti kina huzmante'za zamavare'za frazankna hunka zamavarenka e'nane?
27 Why would you want to flee without my knowledge and without telling me, though I might have led you forward with gladness, and songs, and timbrels, and lyres?
Nahigenka okura frenka renavatga hu'nane, nasminke'nasinia, muse nehu'za tambori'nine, zavena nehe'za hugantagenka tatrenka asine.
28 You have not permitted me to kiss my sons and daughters. You have acted foolishly. And now, indeed,
Hagi nahigenka nasminke'na nagehe'ine, mofani'ararena zamantako nehu'na huso'e huzmantogenka zamavarenka ome'nane? Kagra mago kefo avu'avaza hu'nane.
29 my hand has power to repay you with harm. But the God of your father said to me yesterday, ‘Beware that you not speak anything stern against Jacob.’
Nagrira hanaveni'a me'neankina, kagrira ha' kahenaku e'noanagi, meni kenagera masenogeno negafa Anumzamo'a amanage huno nasmi'ne, Jekopuna azeri koro osuo, magore hunka havi keo, so'e keo huonto huno nasmi'ne.
30 It may be that you desired to go to your own, and that you longed for the house of your father. But why have you stolen my gods?”
Nagra antahi'noe natrenka'ma anana, na'ankure negafa nonku tusiza huno kvenesigenke. Hianagi nahigenka anumzani'a noni'afintira kumzafa senka e'nane?
31 Jacob answered: “I set out, unknown to you, because I feared that you might take away your daughters by violence.
Higeno Jekopu'a ana kemofo nona'a amanage huno Lebanina asami'ne, Na'ankure nagrama antahuana hanavetinka mofa trenka'a hanaregahane nehu'na koro hu'na oku'a e'no'e.
32 But, since you accuse me of theft, with whomever you will find your gods, let him be slain in the sight of our brothers. Search; anything of yours that you will find with me, take it away.” Now when he said this, he did not know that Rachel had stolen the idols.
Aza'o mago'mo'ma ana anumzanka'a erino e'nesnimofona hakrenka erifore hanankeno'a, anamo'a frigahie. Nege'nagenka nagati'amofo zamufi mago'a kagri zama nagri fenompima me'neniana erigahane. Hagi Resoli'ma musufa seno e'negura Jekopu'a ontahi'neno, anahu kea hu'ne.
33 And so Laban, entering the tent of Jacob, and of Leah, and of both the handmaids, did not find them. And when he had entered the tent of Rachel,
Lebani'a, Jekopu seli nompi ome agafa huno hakreteno, Lia seli nompi ome keteno, tare eri'za a' tremokizni seli nompi keme viana onke'ne. Anantera Lia seli nona atreno Resoli seli nompi umareri'ne.
34 she quickly hid the idols under the camel’s bedding, and she sat upon them. And when he had searched the entire tent and found nothing,
Resoli'a ana havi anumza erino vuno kemorimofo agofetu ante'za nemaniza tra'mofo agu'afinka ome anteteno, agofetu manino rentrako hu'ne. Hagi Lebani'a hakreno vano hiana keno eri fore osu'ne.
35 she said: “Do not be angry, my lord, that I am unable to rise up in your sight, because it has now happened to me according to the custom of women.” So his careful search was thwarted.
Resoli'a amanage huno nefana asami'ne, O'maotisnua zankura ranimoka kea onasuo, ika kri'ma enerua kna ege'na mani'noe. Lebani'a maka zampina hakreno keno eviana ana havi anumzama'a kefore osu'ne.
36 And Jacob, being inflated, said with contention: “For which fault of mine, or for what sin of mine, have you become so enraged against me
Jekopuna asi vazigeno ke ha' Lebanina renteno, Lebaninkura amanage hu'ne, Nagra mago zanka'a eri haviza hu'nogenka amanahura nehano? Naza mago havizana hugante'nogenka navaririnka ne-enka, haha'ene kea hunenantane?
37 and searched all the items of my house? What have you found from all the substance of your house? Place it here before my brothers, and your brothers, and let them judge between me and you.
Nagri feno zama re'nanana, naza magora kagri zana nonka'afintira eri'na e'nogenka hakrenka erifore hane? Hakrenkama erifore hu'nenunka, tavufi eri atru hugeta, nagri vahe'ene, kagri vahe enena negeta eri fatgo ha'mneno.
38 For what reason have I been with you for twenty years? Your ewes and she-goats were not barren; the rams of your flocks I did not consume.
Hagi 20'a kafumofo agu'afima eri'za erigante'noana a' sipisipimo'o, a' mememo'o magore huno anentara kase havizana, nosige'na ve sipisipi afu zagaka'afintira magore hu'na ahena one'noe.
39 Neither did I reveal to you what was seized by the wild beast. I replaced all that was damaged. Whatever was lost by theft, you collected it from me.
Hanki afi zagamo'ma afu'zagama aheno nege'na, kagrira eme onkasami'na, ferupi kenagepi afu'zagafinti kumazafa sazage'na, nona'a nagra'a suampinti avre'na kegina ka'afi eme antetere hu'noe.
40 Day and night, I was burned by heat and by frost, and sleep fled from my eyes.
Ana nehu'na zage knafina zage hara tusiza huno nave'nesigeno, kenagera tusiza huno zasimo'a nazeri kragenefege'na, magore hu'na navura mase so'e hutere osu'noe.
41 And in this way, for twenty years, I have served you in your house: fourteen for your daughters, and six for your flocks. You have also changed my wages ten times.
Hagi nagra kagri nompina e'inahu zana 20'a zagegafu hu'noe. Nagra 14ni'a zagegfufi tarega mofaka'ama eri'nakura eri'zana eri'noe. 6si'a kafufina afu'zagaka'ama kegava hu eri'za eri'noe. Ana nehugenka mizani'a 10ni'a zupa eri fenka anaga hu'nane.
42 If the God of my father Abraham and the fear of Isaac had not been close to me, perhaps by now you would have sent me away naked. But God looked kindly on my affliction and the labor of my hands, and he rebuked you yesterday.”
Hianagi nenageho Abrahamu Anumzama, nafa'nia Aisaki'ma koro hunenteno mono'ma hunentea Anumzamo'ma nagranema omani'nesina, antahuana kagra menina naza navapa hunantanke'na osine. Hianagi narimpa knazampi mani'noa zane hanave eri'zama eri'noa zanena Anumzamo'a nenageno, kenagera hanavetino nanekea eme hugantene.
43 Laban answered him: “My daughters and sons, and your flocks, and all that you discern are mine. What can I do to my sons and grandchildren?
Lebani'a ke nona amanage huno Jekopuna asmi'ne, Tare mofatrena nagri mofatre mani'na'e. Hanki mofavre zaga nagri mofavre zage, afu'zaga nagri afu'zage, maka zama neganana nagrike zane. Hianagi mofatreni'ane mofavrema kase zamante'na'ana menina nagra inankna huzmantegahue?
44 Come, therefore, let us enter into a pact, so that it may be a testimony between me and you.”
E'ina hu'negu menina egeta, naneke huvempa huteta, have zogita emeri atru huntesukeno amu'nonti'afi me'nena, henka ama ana avamezama negenuta'a, amama huhagerafu'a zankura tagesa antahitere hugahu'e.
45 And so Jacob took a stone, and he set it up as a memorial.
Jekopu'a mago avame'za za'za have ome erino anante retrureno asenenteno,
46 And he said to his brothers, “Bring stones.” And they, gathering together stones, made a tomb, and they ate upon it.
naga'a ke hige'za mago'ene havea eri'za anante kevu vazintete'za, ana have kevumofo tvaonte kave ne'naze.
47 And Laban called it, ‘Tomb of Witness,’ and Jacob, ‘Pile of Testimony;’ each of them according to the fitness of his own language.
Lebani'a ana havemofo agi'a Jegar-sahaduta'e huno Aramea kefina nehuno, Ama have atrumo huragesa hugahie huno ante'ne. Hianagi Jekopu'a Hibru kefina Galitie huno agi'a nenteno, ama have atrumo hu tagesa hugahie huno ante'ne.
48 And Laban said: “This tomb will be a witness between me and you this day.” (And for this reason, its name has been called Gilead, that is, ‘Tomb of Witness.’)
Lebani'a amanage hu'ne, amama eritru hu'a havemo menina avame'za amu'nonti'afina megahie. Hu'ne nehu'ne ana havemofo agi'a Galitie hu'ne ante'na'e.
49 “May the Lord consider and judge between us, when we will have withdrawn from one another.
Ete mago agi'a Mizpae hu'ne ante'na'e. Lebani'a amanage hu'ne. Tagra afete mani'neta oge age osuta mani'neta maka avu'ava'ma hanu'ana, Ra Anumzamo agrake tagegahie.
50 If you afflict my daughters, and if you bring in other wives over them, no one is a witness of our words except God, who understands beforehand.”
Hagi kagrama mofa'nimokizni hazenke ati zanamige, mago ru a'ne erige hananana, amunonti'afina magora vahera omani'nazanki Anumzamo agrake tagegahie.
51 And again he said to Jacob. “Lo, this tomb and the stone that I have set up between me and you,
Lebani'a mago'ene Jekopuna anage huno asami'ne, Antahio, za'za havema asento'a negenka, amama oti'no'a amu'nontiafima eri atru hu'a havea ko.
52 will be a witness. This tomb,” I say, “and the stone, they are for testimony, in case either I cross beyond it going toward you, or you cross beyond it thinking to harm me.
Amama mani'neta huvempa huta asento'a havemo, amu'nontiafi me'nena, nagra ama ana havea agatere'na krimpa eri haviza hu'zana osugahue. Hagi kagra eri atru hunto'a havene, asento'a havene agaterenka narimpa eri havizana osuo.
53 May the God of Abraham, and the God of Nahor, the God of their father, judge between us.” Therefore, Jacob swore by the fear of his father Isaac.
Hagi Abrahamu Anumzane, Nahori Anumzane, neznafa Anumzamo amu'nontiafina refko hurantegahie. Hagi Jekopu'a nefa Aisaki'ma koro hunenteno mono'ma hunentea Anumzamofonte huvempa hu'ne.
54 And after he had immolated sacrifices on the mountain, he called his brothers to eat bread. And when they had eaten, they lodged there.
Jekopu'a e'i ana agonafi Kresramana vu ne'za kreno Anumzamofontega ofa hunenteno naga'a zamagi hutru hige'za nete'za, ana agonafi mase'naze.
55 In truth, Laban rose up in the night, and he kissed his sons and daughters, and he blessed them. And he returned to his place.
Lebani'a nanterame otino mofatrema'ane, agehe'ine nezmavatagino zamantako nehuno, asomu ke huzmante'ne. Ana huteno, Lebani'a kuma'arega ete vu'ne.
