< Genesis 31 >
1 And he heard the words of Laban's sons, saying, Jacob has taken away all that was our father's; and of that which was our father's has he got all this glory.
And he heard [the] words of [the] sons of Laban saying he has taken Jacob all that [belonged] to father our and from [that] which [belonged] to father our he has acquired all the abundance this.
2 And Jacob beheld the countenance of Laban, and, behold, it was not toward him as before.
And he saw Jacob [the] face of Laban and there! not [was] he with him as yesterday three days ago.
3 And the LORD said unto Jacob, Return unto the land of your fathers, and to your kindred; and I will be with you.
And he said Yahweh to Jacob return to [the] land of fathers your and to kindred your so I may be with you.
4 And Jacob sent and called Rachel and Leah to the field unto his flock,

8 If he said thus, The speckled shall be your wages; then all the cattle bare speckled: and if he said thus, The striped with bands shall be your hire; then bare all the cattle striped with bands.
If thus he said speckled [ones] it will be wage[s] your and they bore all the flock speckled [ones] and if thus he said striped [ones] it will be wage[s] your and they bore all the flock striped [ones].
9 Thus God has taken away the cattle of your father, and given them to me.
And he has taken away God [the] livestock of father your and he has given [it] to me.
10 And it came to pass at the time that the cattle conceived, that I lifted up mine eyes, and saw in a dream, and, behold, the rams which leaped upon the cattle were striped with bands, speckled, and greyed.
And it was at [the] time mated the flock and I lifted up eyes my and I saw in a dream and there! the male goats which were going up on the flock [were] striped speckled and mottled.
11 And the angel of God spoke unto me in a dream, saying, Jacob: And I said, Here am I.
And he said to me [the] angel of God in a dream O Jacob and I said here [am] I.
12 And he said, Lift up now your eyes, and see, all the rams which leap upon the cattle are striped with bands, speckled, and greyed: for I have seen all that Laban does unto you.
And he said lift up please eyes your and see all the male goats which are going up on the flock [are] striped speckled and mottled for I have seen all that Laban [is] doing to you.
13 I am the God of Bethel, where you anointed the pillar, and where you vowed a vow unto me: now arise, get you out from this land, and return unto the land of your kindred.

And she answered Rachel and Leah and they said to him ¿ still [belong] to us [does] a share and an inheritance in [the] household of father our.
15 Are we not counted of him strangers? for he has sold us, and has quite devoured also our money.
¿ Not foreigners are we accounted by him for he has sold us and he has consumed also continuously money our.
16 For all the riches which God has taken from our father, that is ours, and our children's: now then, whatsoever God has said unto you, do.
For all the wealth which he has taken away God from father our [belongs] to us it and to children our and therefore all that he has said God to you do.

20 And Jacob stole away unexpectedly to Laban the Syrian, in that he told him not that he fled.
And he stole Jacob [the] heart of Laban the Aramean on not he told to him that [was] fleeing he.
21 So he fled with all that he had; and he rose up, and passed over the river, and set his face toward the mount Gilead.
And he fled he and all that [belonged] to him and he arose and he passed over the river and he set face his [the] hill country of Gilead.

And he came God to Laban the Aramean in [the] dream of the night and he said to him take heed to yourself lest you should speak with Jacob from good unto bad.

And he said Laban to Jacob what? have you done and you have stolen heart my and you have led away daughters my like captives of [the] sword.
27 Wherefore did you flee away secretly, and steal away from me; and did not tell me, that I might have sent you away with delight, and with songs, with timbrel, and with harp?
Why? did you hide yourself to flee and did you steal? me and not did you tell? to me and I sent away you with gladness and with songs with tambourine and with harp.
28 And have not suffered me to kiss my sons and my daughters? you have now done foolishly in so doing.
And not did you allow? me to kiss sons my and daughters my now you have behaved foolishly to do.
29 It is in the power of my hand to do you hurt: but the God of your father spoke unto me last night, saying, Take you heed that you speak not to Jacob either good or bad.
There [is] to [the] power of hand my to do with you harm and [the] God of father your last night - he said to me saying take heed to yourself from speaking with Jacob from good unto bad.
30 And now, though you would essentially be gone, because you sore longed after your father's house, yet wherefore have you stolen my gods?
And now certainly you have gone for certainly you longed for [the] household of father your why? did you steal gods my.
31 And Jacob answered and said to Laban, Because I was afraid: for I said, Possibly you would take by force your daughters from me.
And he answered Jacob and he said to Laban that I was afraid for I said lest you should tear away daughters your from with me.
32 With whomsoever you find your gods, let him not live: before our brethren discern you what is your with me, and take it to you. For Jacob knew not that Rachel had stolen them.
With [anyone] whom you will find gods your not he will live before relatives our investigate for yourself what? [is] with me and take [it] for yourself and not he knew Jacob that Rachel she had stolen them.

34 Now Rachel had taken the images, and put them in the camel's furniture, and sat upon them. And Laban searched all the tent, but found them not.
And Rachel she had taken the teraphim and she had put them in [the] saddlebag of the camel and she sat on them and he searched Laban all the tent and not he found [them].
35 And she said to her father, Let it not displease my lord that I cannot rise up before you; for the custom of women is upon me. And he searched but found not the images.
And she said to father her may not it burn in [the] eyes of lord my that not I am able to rise from before you for [the] way of women [belongs] to me and he searched and not he found the teraphim.

42 Except the God of my father, the God of Abraham, and the fear of Isaac, had been with me, surely you had sent me away now empty. God has seen mine affliction and the labour of my hands, and rebuked you last night.
