Genesis 31
1 Jacob found out that Laban's sons were saying, “Jacob has taken everything that belonged to our father. All the wealth he has actually came from our father.”
Kedengaranlah kepada Yakub anak-anak Laban berkata demikian: "Yakub telah mengambil segala harta milik ayah kita dan dari harta itulah ia membangun segala kekayaannya."
2 Jacob also noticed that Laban was treating him differently to the way he had before.
Lagi kelihatan kepada Yakub dari muka Laban, bahwa Laban tidak lagi seperti yang sudah-sudah kepadanya.
3 The Lord told Jacob, “Go back to the country of your forefathers, to your family home. I will be with you.”
Lalu berfirmanlah TUHAN kepada Yakub: "Pulanglah ke negeri nenek moyangmu dan kepada kaummu, dan Aku akan menyertai engkau."
4 Jacob sent for Rachel and Leah, telling them to come and meet him out in the fields where he was with his flock.
Sesudah itu Yakub menyuruh memanggil Rahel dan Lea untuk datang ke padang, ke tempat kambing dombanya,
5 “I've noticed that your father is treating me differently to the way he did before,” he told them. “But the God of my father will be with me.
lalu ia berkata kepada mereka: "Telah kulihat dari muka ayahmu, bahwa ia tidak lagi seperti yang sudah-sudah kepadaku, tetapi Allah ayahku menyertai aku.
6 You both know very well how hard I worked for your father.
Juga kamu sendiri tahu, bahwa aku telah bekerja sekuat-kuatku pada ayahmu.
7 But he's been cheating me—he's reduced my wages ten times! However, God hasn't let him hurt me.
Tetapi ayahmu telah berlaku curang kepadaku dan telah sepuluh kali mengubah upahku, tetapi Allah tidak membiarkan dia berbuat jahat kepadaku.
8 If he said, ‘You can have the speckled ones as your wages,’ then the whole flock had speckled young. If he said, ‘You can have the streaked ones as your wages,’ then the whole flock had streaked young.
Apabila ia berkata: yang berbintik-bintiklah akan menjadi upahmu, maka segala kambing domba itu beroleh anak yang berbintik-bintik; dan apabila ia berkata: yang bercoreng-corenglah akan menjadi upahmu, maka segala kambing domba itu beroleh anak yang bercoreng-coreng.
9 This is how God took your father's livestock and gave them to me.
Demikianlah Allah mengambil ternak ayahmu dan memberikannya kepadaku.
10 During the time the flock was breeding I had a dream where I saw that the male goats mating with the flock were all streaked, speckled, or spotted.
Pada suatu kali pada masa kambing domba itu suka berkelamin, maka aku bermimpi dan melihat, bahwa jantan-jantan yang menjantani kambing domba itu bercoreng-coreng, berbintik-bintik dan berbelang-belang.
11 Then in the dream the angel of the Lord spoke to me and said, ‘Jacob!’ I replied, ‘I'm here.’
Dan Malaikat Allah berfirman kepadaku dalam mimpi itu: Yakub! Jawabku: Ya Tuhan!
12 He told me, ‘Take a look and you'll see that all the male goats mating with the flock are streaked, speckled or spotted, for I've been watching everything that Laban has been doing to you.
Lalu Ia berfirman: Angkatlah mukamu dan lihatlah, bahwa segala jantan yang menjantani kambing domba itu bercoreng-coreng, berbintik-bintik dan berbelang-belang, sebab telah Kulihat semua yang dilakukan oleh Laban itu kepadamu.
13 I am the God of Bethel, where you poured olive oil on the stone pillar and made a solemn promise to me. Now get ready to leave this land and go back to your homeland.’”
Akulah Allah yang di Betel itu, di mana engkau mengurapi tugu, dan di mana engkau bernazar kepada-Ku; maka sekarang, bersiaplah engkau, pergilah dari negeri ini dan pulanglah ke negeri sanak saudaramu."
14 “There's nothing for us to inherit from our father's estate anyway,” Rachel and Leah replied.
Lalu Rahel dan Lea menjawab Yakub, katanya: "Bukankah tidak ada lagi bagian atau warisan kami dalam rumah ayah kami?
15 “He treats us like foreigners because he sold us to you, and now he's spent all that money.
Bukankah kami ini dianggapnya sebagai orang asing, karena ia telah menjual kami? Juga bagian kami telah dihabiskannya sama sekali.
16 All the wealth that God has taken from him belongs to us and our children, so do whatever God has told you to do!”
Tetapi segala kekayaan, yang telah diambil Allah dari ayah kami, adalah milik kami dan anak-anak kami; maka sekarang, perbuatlah segala yang difirmankan Allah kepadamu."
17 So Jacob got ready. He helped his children and his wives onto the camels,
Lalu bersiaplah Yakub, dinaikkannya anak-anaknya dan isteri-isterinya ke atas unta,
18 and drove all his livestock in front of him. He took with him all his possessions and livestock he'd gained during his time in Paddan-aram, and left to go back to his father in the country of Canaan.
digiringnya seluruh ternaknya dan segala apa yang telah diperolehnya, yakni ternak kepunyaannya, yang telah diperolehnya di Padan-Aram, dengan maksud pergi kepada Ishak, ayahnya, ke tanah Kanaan.
19 While Laban was away from home shearing his sheep, Rachel stole the household idols that belonged to her father.
Adapun Laban telah pergi menggunting bulu domba-dombanya. Ketika itulah Rahel mencuri terafim ayahnya.
20 Jacob also deceived Laban the Aramean by not informing him that he was going to run away.
Dan Yakub mengakali Laban, orang Aram itu, dengan tidak memberitahukan kepadanya, bahwa ia mau lari.
21 So Jacob left in a hurry with everything he had, crossed the Euphrates River, and headed towards the hill country of Gilead.
Demikianlah ia lari dengan segala harta miliknya. Ia berangkat, menyeberangi sungai Efrat dan berjalan menuju pegunungan Gilead.
22 Three days later Laban found out that Jacob had run away.
Ketika pada hari ketiga dikabarkan kepada Laban, bahwa Yakub telah lari,
23 Taking some of his relatives with him, he chased after Jacob and caught up with him seven days later in the hill country of Gilead.
dibawanyalah sanak saudaranya bersama-sama, dikejarnya Yakub tujuh hari perjalanan jauhnya, lalu ia dapat menyusulnya di pegunungan Gilead.
24 But during the night God came to Laban in a dream and told him, “Watch what you say to Jacob. Don't try to persuade him to come back, and don't threaten him either.”
Pada waktu malam datanglah Allah dalam suatu mimpi kepada Laban, orang Aram itu, serta berfirman kepadanya: "Jagalah baik-baik, supaya engkau jangan mengatai Yakub dengan sepatah katapun."
25 Jacob had set up his tents in the hill country of Gilead when Laban caught up with him, so Laban and his relatives did the same.
Ketika Laban sampai kepada Yakub, --Yakub telah memasang kemahnya di pegunungan, juga Laban dengan sanak saudaranya telah memasang kemahnya di pegunungan Gilead--
26 “Why did you deceive me like this?” Laban asked Jacob. “You carried off my daughters as if they were some prisoners captured by the sword!
berkatalah Laban kepada Yakub: "Apakah yang kauperbuat ini, maka engkau mengakali aku dan mengangkut anak-anakku perempuan sebagai orang tawanan?
27 Why did you run away in secret, trying to trick me? Why didn't you come and tell me? I would have given you a good send-off, a celebration with singing and the music of tambourines and lyres.
Mengapa engkau lari diam-diam dan mengakali aku? Mengapa engkau tidak memberitahu kepadaku, supaya aku menghantarkan engkau dengan sukacita dan nyanyian dengan rebana dan kecapi?
28 You didn't even let me kiss my grandchildren and daughters goodbye! You've really acted stupidly!
Lagipula engkau tidak memberikan aku kesempatan untuk mencium cucu-cucuku laki-laki dan anak-anakku perempuan. Memang bodoh perbuatanmu itu.
29 I could really punish you badly, but the God of your father spoke to me last night and told me, ‘Watch what you say to Jacob. Don't try to persuade him to come back, and don't threaten him either.’
Aku ini berkuasa untuk berbuat jahat kepadamu, tetapi Allah ayahmu telah berfirman kepadaku tadi malam: Jagalah baik-baik, jangan engkau mengatai Yakub dengan sepatah katapun.
30 Clearly you wanted to leave and go back to your family home, but why did you have to steal my idols?”
Maka sekarang, kalau memang engkau harus pergi, semata-mata karena sangat rindu ke rumah ayahmu, mengapa engkau mencuri dewa-dewaku?"
31 “I ran away because I was afraid,” Jacob explained to Laban. “I was worried that you would take your daughters from me by force.
Lalu Yakub menjawab Laban: "Aku takut, karena pikirku, jangan-jangan engkau merampas anak-anakmu itu dari padaku.
32 As for your idols, anyone you find who has them will die. You can search everything in the presence of our relatives, and if you find I have anything that belongs to you, you can take it.” (Jacob didn't know that Rachel had stolen the household idols.)
Tetapi pada siapa engkau menemui dewa-dewamu itu, janganlah ia hidup lagi. Periksalah di depan saudara-saudara kita segala barang yang ada padaku dan ambillah barangmu." Sebab Yakub tidak tahu, bahwa Rahel yang mencuri terafim itu.
33 Laban searched the tents of Jacob, Leah, and the two personal maids, but didn't find anything. He left Leah's tent and went into Rachel's tent.
Lalu masuklah Laban ke dalam kemah Yakub dan ke dalam kemah Lea dan ke dalam kemah kedua budak perempuan itu, tetapi terafim itu tidak ditemuinya. Setelah keluar dari kemah Lea, ia masuk ke dalam kemah Rahel.
34 Rachel had put the household idols in a camel's saddlebag and was sitting on it. Laban carefully searched the whole tent but couldn't find them.
Tetapi Rahel telah mengambil terafim itu dan memasukkannya ke dalam pelana untanya, dan duduk di atasnya. Laban menggeledah seluruh kemah itu, tetapi terafim itu tidak ditemuinya.
35 She said to her father, “Sir, please don't get upset with me for not standing up in your presence, but I have my period.” He looked everywhere but didn't find the idols.
Lalu kata Rahel kepada ayahnya: "Janganlah bapa marah, karena aku tidak dapat bangun berdiri di depanmu, sebab aku sedang haid." Dan Laban mencari dengan teliti, tetapi ia tidak menemui terafim itu.
36 Jacob got angry with Laban and confronted him, saying, “What crime am I guilty of? What wrong have I done to you that you've come hunting me down?
Lalu hati Yakub panas dan ia bertengkar dengan Laban. Ia berkata kepada Laban: "Apakah kesalahanku, apakah dosaku, maka engkau memburu aku sehebat itu?
37 You've searched through all my possessions. Did you find anything belonging to you? If you did, bring it out here before my relatives and yours so they can decide who's right!
Engkau telah menggeledah segala barangku, sekarang apakah yang kautemui dari segala barang rumahmu? Letakkanlah di sini di depan saudara-saudaraku dan saudara-saudaramu, supaya mereka mengadili antara kita berdua.
38 I've worked for you for these past twenty years. During that time none of your sheep and goats miscarried, and I haven't eaten a single ram from your flock.
Selama dua puluh tahun ini aku bersama-sama dengan engkau; domba dan kambing betinamu tidak pernah keguguran dan jantan dari kambing dombamu tidak pernah kumakan.
39 If any of them were killed by wild animals, I never even brought you the carcass to prove the loss—I bore the loss myself. But you on the other hand always made me compensate you for any animals that were stolen, whether at night or in broad daylight.
Yang diterkam oleh binatang buas tidak pernah kubawa kepadamu, aku sendiri yang menggantinya; yang dicuri orang, baik waktu siang, baik waktu malam, selalu engkau tuntut dari padaku.
40 Whether it was sweating in the heat of the day, or freezing in the cold of the night when I couldn't sleep, I went on working for you for twenty years in your home.
Aku dimakan panas hari waktu siang dan kedinginan waktu malam, dan mataku jauh dari pada tertidur.
41 I worked fourteen years for your two daughters, and six more years with your flocks. You reduced my wages ten times!
Selama dua puluh tahun ini aku di rumahmu; aku telah bekerja padamu empat belas tahun lamanya untuk mendapat kedua anakmu dan enam tahun untuk mendapat ternakmu, dan engkau telah sepuluh kali mengubah upahku.
42 If it weren't for the God of my father, the God of Abraham, the awesome God of Isaac, who took care of me, you would have dismissed me with nothing. But God saw my suffering, how hard I worked, and he condemned you last night.”
Seandainya Allah ayahku, Allah Abraham dan Yang Disegani oleh Ishak tidak menyertai aku, tentulah engkau sekarang membiarkan aku pergi dengan tangan hampa; tetapi kesengsaraanku dan jerih payahku telah diperhatikan Allah dan Ia telah menjatuhkan putusan tadi malam."
43 Laban replied, “These are my daughters and these are my children and these are my flocks! In fact, everything you see here is mine! However, what can I do now about my daughters and their children?
Lalu Laban menjawab Yakub: "Perempuan-perempuan ini anakku dan anak-anak lelaki ini cucuku dan ternak ini ternakku, bahkan segala yang kaulihat di sini adalah milikku; jadi apakah yang dapat kuperbuat sekarang kepada anak-anakku ini atau kepada anak-anak yang dilahirkan mereka?
44 So let's make a solemn agreement between you and I, and it will be a witness to our mutual commitment.”
Maka sekarang, marilah kita mengikat perjanjian, aku dan engkau, supaya itu menjadi kesaksian antara aku dan engkau."
45 Jacob took a stone and set it upright as a pillar.
Kemudian Yakub mengambil sebuah batu dan didirikannya menjadi tugu.
46 Then he told his relatives, “Go and collect some stones.” They all made a pile of stones and then sat beside it to eat a meal.
Selanjutnya berkatalah Yakub kepada sanak saudaranya: "Kumpulkanlah batu." Maka mereka mengambil batu dan membuat timbunan, lalu makanlah mereka di sana di dekat timbunan itu.
47 Laban called it Jegar-sahadutha, while Jacob called it Galeed.
Laban menamai timbunan batu itu Yegar-Sahaduta, tetapi Yakub menamainya Galed.
48 Laban announced, “This pile of stone serves as a witness between me and you.” This is why it was called Galeed.
Lalu kata Laban: "Timbunan batu inilah pada hari ini menjadi kesaksian antara aku dan engkau." Itulah sebabnya timbunan itu dinamainya Galed,
49 It was also called Mizpah, for as Laban said, “May the Lord keep a close eye on both of us when we're not together.
dan juga Mizpa, sebab katanya: "TUHAN kiranya berjaga-jaga antara aku dan engkau, apabila kita berjauhan.
50 If you treat my daughters badly or marry more wives in addition to them, God will see what you do even if no one else finds out!”
Jika engkau mengaibkan anak-anakku, dan jika engkau mengambil isteri lain di samping anak-anakku itu, ingatlah, walaupun tidak ada orang dekat kita, Allah juga yang menjadi saksi antara aku dan engkau."
51 Then Laban told Jacob, “Look at this pile of stones and this pillar that I have set up as a memorial of the agreement between you and me.
Selanjutnya kata Laban kepada Yakub: "Inilah timbunan batu, dan inilah tugu yang kudirikan antara aku dan engkau--
52 They also act as a witness to our solemn promises to each other: I will not come past them to attack you; and you will not come past them to attack me.
timbunan batu dan tugu inilah menjadi kesaksian, bahwa aku tidak akan melewati timbunan batu ini mendapatkan engkau, dan bahwa engkaupun tidak akan melewati timbunan batu dan tugu ini mendapatkan aku, dengan berniat jahat.
53 May the God of Abraham and the God of Nahor—the God of our forefathers—be the one to judge between us in any dispute.” Jacob in turn made his solemn promise in the name of the awesome God of his father Isaac.
Allah Abraham dan Allah Nahor, Allah ayah mereka, kiranya menjadi hakim antara kita." Lalu Yakub bersumpah demi Yang Disegani oleh Ishak, ayahnya.
54 Then he offered a sacrifice on the mountain and invited all his relatives to eat a meal there. They spent the night on the mountain.
Dan Yakub mempersembahkan korban sembelihan di gunung itu. Ia mengundang makan sanak saudaranya, lalu mereka makan serta bermalam di gunung itu.
55 Laban got up early in the morning and kissed his grandchildren and his daughters goodbye. He blessed them, and then left to go back home.
Keesokan harinya pagi-pagi Laban mencium cucu-cucunya dan anak-anaknya serta memberkati mereka, kemudian pulanglah Laban kembali ke tempat tinggalnya.
