Genesis 31
1 Now he heard the words of Labans sonnes, saying, Iaakob hath taken away all that was our fathers, and of our fathers goods hath he gotten all this honour.
Yaaqoobis akka ilmaan Laabaa, “Yaaqoob waan abbaan keenya qabu hunda fudhateera; qabeenya kana hundas waanuma kan abbaa keenyaa ture irraa argate” jedhan dhagaʼe.
2 Also Iaakob beheld the countenance of Laban, that it was not towards him as in times past:
Yaaqoobis fuula Laabaa ilaale; kunoo fuulli isaa akka duraatti isatti hin tolle.
3 And the Lord had said vnto Iaakob, Turne againe into the lande of thy fathers, and to thy kinred, and I wilbe with thee.
Waaqayyos Yaaqoobiin, “Biyya abbaa keetii fi fira keetti deebiʼi; anis si wajjin nan taʼa” jedhe.
4 Therefore Iaakob sent and called Rahel and Leah to the fielde vnto his flocke.
Kanaafuu Yaaqoob akka isaan bakkeetti lafa bushaayeen isaa jiranitti gad baʼaniif gara Raahelii fi Liyaatti ergaa erge.
5 Then sayde hee vnto them, I see your fathers countenance, that it is not towardes me as it was wont, and the God of my father hath bene with me.
Innis akkana isaaniin jedhe; “Ani akka abbaan keessan akka kanaan duraa sana fuula natti hin tolle hubadheera; garuu Waaqni abbaa kootii na wajjin jira.
6 And yee knowe that I haue serued your father with all my might.
Akka ani humna koo guutuudhaan abbaa keessaniif hojjedhe isinuu beektu;
7 But your father hath deceiued me, and changed my wages tenne times: but God suffred him not to hurt me.
taʼus abbaan keessan mindaa koo yeroo kudhan geeddaruudhaan na gowwoomse. Waaqni garuu akka inni na miidhu hin eeyyamneef.
8 If he thus sayd, The spotted shall be thy wages, then all the sheepe bare spotted: and if he sayd thus, the party coloured shalbe thy rewarde, then bare all the sheepe particoloured.
Yeroo inni, ‘Bushaayeen cocorreen mindaa kee taʼu’ jedhetti, bushaayeen hundi ilmaan cocorree dhalan; yeroo inni, ‘warri halluu qaxxaamuroo qaban mindaa kee taʼu’ jedhetti immoo bushaayeen hundi ilmaan qaxxaamuroo qaban dhalan.
9 Thus hath God taken away your fathers substance, and giuen it me.
Waaqni karaa kanaan horii abbaa keessanii fuudhee naa kenne.
10 For in ramming time I lifted vp mine eyes and saw in a dreame, and beholde, ye hee goates leaped vpon the shee goates, that were partie coloured with litle and great spots spotted.
“Anis gaaf tokko waqtii gaana bushaayeetti abjuu keessa ol ilaalee kunoo korbeeyyiin reʼootatti hobobsan akka halluu qaxxaamuroo qaban, cocorree fi buburree taʼan nan arge.
11 And the Angel of God sayde to mee in a dreame, Iaakob. And I answered, Lo, I am here.
Ergamaan Waaqayyoos abjuu keessa, ‘Yaaqoob’ naan jedhe. Ani, ‘Kunoo asan jira’ jedheen deebise.
12 And he sayde, Lift vp nowe thine eyes, and see all the hee goates leaping vpon ye shee goates that are partie coloured, spotted with litle and great spots: for I haue seene all that Laban doeth vnto thee.
Inni immoo akkana naan jedhe; ‘Akka korbeeyyiin reʼootaa kanneen bushaayeetti hobobsan hundinuu halluu qaxxaamuroo qaban, cocorree fi buburree taʼan ol jedhii ilaali. Ani waan Laabaan sitti hojjete hunda argeeraatii.
13 I am the God of Beth-el, where thou anoyntedst the pillar, where thou vowedst a vowe vnto me. Nowe arise, get thee out of this countrey and returne vnto ye land where thou wast borne.
Ani Waaqa Beetʼeel lafa ati itti utubaa dibdee wareega naaf wareegde sanaa ti. Amma kaʼiitii biyya kana keessaa baʼiitii gara biyya fira keetiitti deebiʼi.’”
14 Then answered Rahel and Leah, and sayde vnto him, Haue wee any more porcion and inheritance in our fathers house?
Kana irratti Raahelii fi Liyaan akkana jedhanii deebisan; “Qoodni yookaan dhaalli mana abbaa keenyaatti nuu hafe jiraa?
15 Doeth not he count vs as strangers? for he hath solde vs, and hath eaten vp and consumed our money.
Inni akkuma ormaatti nu ilaala mitii? Inni nu gurgurateeraatii maallaqa sababii keenyaaf kenname nyaatee fixeera.
16 Therefore all the riches, which God hath taken from our father, is ours and our childrens: nowe then whatsoeuer God hath saide vnto thee, doe it.
Qabeenyi Waaqni abbaa keenya irraa fuudhe hundi kan keenyaa fi kan ijoollee keenyaa ti. Egaa waan Waaqni sitti hime hunda godhi.”
17 Then Iaakob rose vp, and set his sonnes and his wiues vpon camels.
Yaaqoobis ijoollee isaatii fi niitota isaa gaalawwan irra kaaʼate;
18 And he caried away all his flockes, and al his substance which he had gotten, to wit, his riches, which he had gotten in Padan Aram, to goe to Izhak his father vnto the land of Canaan.
horii fi qabeenya kaaba dhiʼa Phaadaan Arraamiitti horatte hunda of dura oofee gara biyya Kanaʼaan abbaa isaa Yisihaaq bira dhaquuf kaʼe.
19 Whe Laban was gone to shere his sheepe, Then Rahel stole her fathers idoles.
Laabaan hoolota isaa irraa rifeensa murmuruu dhaqe; Raahel immoo waaqota abbaa ishee hatte.
20 Thus Iaakob stole away ye heart of Laban the Aramite: for he told him not that he fled.
Yaaqoobis akka isa dhiisee baqachuu yaade isa dhoksuudhaan Laabaan namicha Arraam sana gowwoomse.
21 So fled he with all that he had, and he rose vp, and passed the riuer, and set his face towarde mount Gilead.
Innis waan qabu hunda fudhatee baqate; laga Efraaxiis ceʼee biyya gaara Giliʼaaditti qajeele.
22 And the third day after was it told Laban, that Iaakob fled.
Akka Yaaqoob baqate guyyaa sadaffaatti Laabaatti himame.
23 Then he tooke his brethren with him, and followed after him seuen dayes iourney, and ouertooke him at mount Gilead.
Laabaanis firoota isaa fudhatee guyyaa torba Yaaqoob duukaa buʼee biyya gaara Giliʼaaditti isa qaqqabe.
24 And God came to Laban the Aramite in a dreame by night, and sayde vnto him, Take heede that thou speake not to Iaakob ought saue good.
Waaqnis halkan abjuudhaan gara Laabaan namicha biyya Arraam sanaa dhufee, “Ati waan gaariis taʼu hamaa tokko iyyuu Yaaqoobitti akka hin dubbanne of eeggadhu” isaan jedhe.
25 Then Laban ouertooke Iaakob, and Iaakob had pitched his tent in the mount: and Laban also with his brethren pitched vpon mount Gilead.
Yaaqoob yeroo Laabaan isa qaqqabetti, biyya gaaraa Giliʼaad keessa dunkaana isaa dhaabbatee ture; Laabaa fi firoonni isaas achi qubatan.
26 Then Laban sayde to Iaakob, What hast thou done? thou hast euen stolen away mine heart and caried away my daughters as though they had bene taken captiues with the sworde.
Laabaanis Yaaqoobiin akkana jedhe; “Ati na gowwoomsitee intallan koo akka boojiʼamtoota waraanaatti fudhattee deemuun kee maal gochuu kee ti?
27 Wherfore diddest thou flie so secretly and steale away from me, and diddest not tel me, that I might haue sent thee foorth with mirth and with songs, with timbrel and with harpe?
Ati maaliif dhoksaan baqatte? Maaliifis na gowwoomsite? Akka ani gammachuu fi faarfannaadhaan, dibbee fi baganaadhaan si geggeessuuf maaliif natti himuu didde?
28 But thou hast not suffered me to kisse my sonnes and my daughters: nowe thou hast done foolishly in doing so.
Ati akka ani ijoollee ijoollee kootiitii fi intallan koo dhungadhee nagaatti jedhu naaf hin eeyyamne. Ati hojii gowwummaa hojjete.
29 I am able to do you euill: but the God of your father spake vnto me yesternight, saying, Take heed that thou speake not to Iaakob ought saue good.
Ani isin miidhuuf humna qaba; garuu eda Waaqni abbaa keessanii, ‘Ati waan gaariis taʼu hamaa tokko illee Yaaqoobitti akka hin dubbanne of eeggadhu’ naan jedhe.
30 Nowe though thou wentest thy way, because thou greatly longedst after thy fathers house, yet wherefore hast thou stollen my gods?
Ati sababii mana abbaa keetiitti deebiʼuu akka malee hawwiteef deemteerta; garuu maaliif waaqota koo hatte?”
31 Then Iaakob answered, and said to Laban, Because I was afraid, and thought that thou wouldest haue taken thy daughters from me.
Yaaqoobis akkana jedhee Laabaaf deebii kenne; “Ati intallan kee humnaan narraa fudhatta jedhee waanan sodaadheef nan deeme.
32 But with whome thou findest thy gods, let him not liue. Search thou before our brethre what I haue of thine, and take it to thee, (but Iaakob wist not that Rahel had stolen them)
Namni ati waaqota kee isa biratti argattu jiraachuu hin qabu. Akka wanni kan kee taʼe na bira jiruu fi akka hin jirre atuu fuula firoota keenyaa duratti sakattaʼi; yoo jiraate immoo fudhadhu.” Yaaqoob Raahel waaqota sana hattuu ishee Yaaqoob hin beeku ture.
33 Then came Laban into Iaakobs tent, and into Leahs tent, and into the two maides tentes, but founde them not. So hee went out of Leahs tent, and entred into Rahels tent.
Laabaanis dunkaana Yaaqoob, dunkaana Liyaatii fi dunkaana xomboreewwan lamaanii seenee homaa dhabe. Erga dunkaana Liyaatii baʼee booddees dunkaana Raahel seene.
34 (Nowe Rahel had taken the idoles, and put them in the camels litter and sate downe vpon them) and Laban searched al the tent, but found them not.
Raahel immoo waaqota mana keessaa hatte sana kooraa gaalawwan ishee jala keessee irra taaʼaa turte. Laabaanis waan dunkaanicha keessa jiru hunda keessa barbaade; garuu homaa hin arganne.
35 Then said she to her father, My Lord, be not angrie that I cannot rise vp before thee: for the custome of women is vpon me: so he searched, but found not the idoles.
Raahelis abbaa isheetiin, “Yaa gooftaa ko, sababii ani kaʼee fuula kee dura dhaabachuu dadhabeef hin aarin; ani xuriin of irraa qabaa” jette. Innis ni sakattaʼe malee waaqota sana hin arganne.
36 The Iaakob was wroth, and chode with Laban: Iaakob also answered and sayd to Laban, What haue I trespassed? what haue I offended, that thou hast pursued after me?
Yaaqoobis Laabaatti aaree isatti dheekkame. Innis akkana jedhee gaafate; “Yakki koo maali? Wanni ati akkana na adamsituuf ani cubbuu maalii hojjedheeti?
37 Seeing thou hast searched all my stuffe, what hast thou foud of all thine houshold stuffe? put it here before my brethren and thy brethren, that they may iudge betweene vs both.
Ati miʼa koo hunda sakattaateerta; egaa miʼa mana keetii keessaa maal argatte? Yoo jiraate firoota keetii fi firoota koo duratti dhiʼeessiitii isaan nu lamaan gidduutti murtii haa kennan.
38 This twenty yere I haue bin with thee: thine ewes and thy goates haue not cast their yong, and the rammes of thy flocke haue I not eaten.
“Ani waggoota digdaman kana si wajjin jiraadheera. Hoolonnii fi reʼoonni kee tokko iyyuu hin gatanne; ani bushaayee kee keessaas korbeeyyii hin nyaanne.
39 Whatsoeuer was torne of beasts, I brought it not vnto thee, but made it good my selfe: of mine hand diddest thou require it, were it stollen by day or stollen by night.
Ani horii bineensi cabse gara keetti hin fidne; horii bades anatu kaffalaa ture. Waan guyyaas taʼu halkan hatame hundaaf ati na kaffalchiifatta turte.
40 I was in the day consumed with heate, and with frost in the night, and my sleepe departed from mine eyes.
Haalli ani keessa jiraadhe kana ture; guyyaa hoʼa, halkan immoo dhaamochatu na waxala ture; hirribnis ija koo irraa bade.
41 Thus haue I bene twentie yeere in thine house, and serued thee fourteene yeeres for thy two daughters, and sixe yeeres for thy sheepe, and thou hast changed my wages tenne times.
Akkasiin ani waggoota digdamman kana mana kee ture. Ani waggaa kudha afur intallan kee lamaaniif jedhee, waggaa jaʼa immoo bushaayee keetiif jedhee siif hojjedheera; ati immoo yeroo kudhan mindaa koo geeddarte.
42 Except the God of my father, the God of Abraham, and the feare of Izhak had bene with me, surely thou haddest sent me away nowe emptie: but God behelde my tribulation, and the labour of mine hads, and rebuked thee yester night.
Waaqni abbaa ko, Waaqni Abrahaam, Sodaan Yisihaaq utuu na wajjin jiraachuu baate ati silaa harka duwwaa na baasta turte. Waaqni garuu rakkina koo fi dadhabbii koo argee eda sitti dheekkame.”
43 Then Laban answered, and saide vnto Iaakob, These daughters are my daughters, and these sonnes are my sonnes, and these sheepe are my sheepe, and all that thou seest, is mine, and what can I doe this day vnto these my daughters, or to their sonnes which they haue borne?
Laabaan akkana jedhee Yaaqoobiif deebise; “Dubartoonni kunneen intallan koo ti; ijoolleen kunneenis ijoolluma koo ti; bushaayeen kunneenis bushaayee koo ti. Wanni ati argitu hundi kanuma koo ti. Yoos ani waaʼee intallan koo kanneeniitii fi waaʼee ijoollee isaan daʼanii harʼa maal gochuun dandaʼa?
44 Nowe therefore come and let vs make a couenant, I and thou, which may be a witnes betweene me and thee.
Kottu mee anii fi ati amma walii kakannaa; kakuun kunis anaa fi si gidduutti ragaa haa taʼu.”
45 Then tooke Iaakob a stone, and set it vp as a pillar:
Yaaqoobis dhagaa tokko fuudhee akka utubaatti dhaabe.
46 And Iaakob sayde vnto his brethren, Gather stones: who brought stones, and made an heape, and they did eate there vpon the heape.
Innis firoota isaatiin, “Dhagaa walitti qabaa” jedhe. Isaanis dhagaa walitti qabanii tuulan; jarris tuullaa sana biratti nyaata nyaatan.
47 And Laban called it Iegar-sahadutha, and Iaakob called it Galeed.
Laabaan tuullaa sanaan “Yigaarsahaadutaa” jedhee moggaase; Yaaqoob immoo “Giliʼaad” jedheen.
48 For Laban sayd, This heape is witnesse betweene me and thee this day: therefore he called the name of it Galeed.
Laabaanis, “Tuullaan kun anaa fi si gidduutti ragaa dha” jedhe. Gaalaʼaad jedhamuun isaa kanumaaf.
49 Also he called it Mizpah, because he said, The Lord looke betweene me and thee, when we shalbe departed one from another,
Akkasumas Miisphaa jedhame; Laabaan akkana jedhee tureetii; “Yeroo nu gargar baanutti Waaqayyo sii fi ana gidduutti eegduu haa taʼu.
50 If thou shalt vexe my daughters, or shalt take wiues beside my daughters: there is no man with vs, beholde, God is witnesse betweene me and thee.
Yoo ati intallan koo rakkifte yookaan yoo ati intallan koo irratti niitota biraa fuute, yoo namni tokko iyyuu nu bira hin jirre kunoo Waaqni anaa fi siʼi gidduutti ragaa dha.”
51 Moreouer Laban sayd to Iaakob, Beholde this heape, and behold the pillar, which I haue set betweene me and thee,
Laabaan ammas Yaaqoobiin akkana jedhe; “Tuullaa kanaa fi utubaa ani sii fi ana gidduu dhaabe kana ilaali.
52 This heape shall be witnesse, and the pillar shall be witnesse, that I will not come ouer this heape to thee, and that thou shalt not passe ouer this heape and this pillar vnto me for euill.
Akka ani si miidhuuf jedhee tuullaa kana darbee gara keetti hin ceene, akka atis na miidhuuf jettee tuullaa kanaa fi utubaa kana dabartee gara kootti hin ceene tuullaan kun ragaa dha; utubaan kunis ragaa dha.
53 The God of Abraham, and the God of Nabor, and the God of their father be iudge betweene vs: But Iaakob sware by the feare of his father Izhak.
Waaqni Abrahaam, Waaqni Naahoor, Waaqni abbootii isaanii nu gidduutti murtii haa kennu.” Yaaqoobis akkasitti maqaa Sodaa abbaa isaa Yisihaaqiin kakate.
54 Then Iaakob did offer a sacrifice vpon the mount, and called his brethren to eate bread. and they did eate bread, and taried all night in the mount.
Innis biyya gaaraa sanatti aarsaa dhiʼeessee firoota isaa nyaatatti waame. Isaanis erga nyaatanii booddee achuma bulan.
55 And earely in the morning Laban rose vp and kissed his sonnes and his daughters, and blessed them, and Laban departing, went vnto his place againe.
Laabaanis guyyaa itti aanu ganama bariidhaan kaʼee ijoollee ijoollee isaatii fi intallan isaa dhungatee isaan eebbise. Ergasiis achii kaʼee gara iddoo isaatti deebiʼe.
