Genesis 31
1 And he hears the words of Laban’s sons, saying, “Jacob has taken all that our father has; indeed, from that which our father has, he has made all this glory”;
Jakobo nowinjo ni yawuot Laban ne wacho niya, “Jakobo osekawo gik ma wuonwa nigo duto kendo oseyudo mwandugi duto koa kuom wuonwa.”
2 and Jacob sees the face of Laban, and behold, it is not with him as before.
Kendo Jakobo noneno ni pach Laban ok nikode kaka chon.
3 And YHWH says to Jacob, “Return to the land of your fathers, and to your family, and I am with you.”
Eka Jehova Nyasaye nowacho ne Jakobo niya, “Dogi e pinyu ir oweteni kendo abiro bet kodi.”
4 And Jacob sends and calls for Rachel and for Leah to the field to his flock;
Kuom mano Jakobo nooro wach ne Rael kod Lea mondo gibi e lek kumane okwayoe.
5 and says to them, “I am beholding your father’s face—that it is not toward me as before, and the God of my father has been with me,
Nowachonegi niya, “Aneno ni paro ma wuonu nigo koda ok en paro mane en-go mokwongo, kata kamano Nyasach wuora osebedo koda.
6 and you have known that with all my power I have served your father,
Ungʼeyo kaka asetiyo ne wuonu gi tekra duto.
7 and your father has played on me, and has changed my hire ten times; and God has not permitted him to do evil with me.
To wuonu osewuonda ka oloko chudona nyadipar. To kata kamano, Nyasaye ok oseweyo otimona marach.
8 If he says thus: The speckled are your hire, then all the flock bore speckled ones; and if he says thus: The striped are your hire, then all the flock bore striped;
Wuonu nowacho ni, ‘Mago ma kitgi angʼech nobed pokni;’ eka jamni duto nonywolo mago ma kitgi angʼech kende, to bende kane owacho ni, ‘Mago ma kitgi rabok nobed pokni,’ eka jamni duto nonywolo mana mago ma kitgi rabok.
9 and God takes away the substance of your father, and gives to me.
Kuom mano Nyasaye osekawo kweth mag jamni mag wuonu kendo osemiyagi.
10 And it comes to pass at the time of the flock conceiving, that I lift up my eyes and see in a dream, and behold, the male goats, which are going up on the flock, [are] striped, speckled, and spotted;
“E kinde mane jamni mathuondi dwaro luwo jamni mamon, naleko ni nywogi duto mane oluwo jamni mamon ne gin mago man-gi kido marabok gi mago man-gi kido marangʼech kod mago man-gi kido mopogore opogore.
11 and the Messenger of God says to me in the dream, Jacob, and I say, Here I [am].
Malaika mar Nyasaye noluonga e lek ni, ‘Jakobo.’ Eka nadwoke ni, ‘An ka.’
12 And He says, Now lift up your eyes and see [that] all the male goats which are going up on the flock [are] striped, speckled, and spotted, for I have seen all that Laban is doing to you;
Eka malaika nomedo wachona ni, ‘Tingʼ wangʼi kendo ineye kaka nywogi duto maluwo diek gin rabok, angʼech kod ma dikiyo, nimar aseneno gik moko duto ma Laban osebedo katimoni.
13 I [am] the God of Bethel where you have anointed a standing pillar, where you have vowed a vow to me; now, arise, go out from this land, and return to the land of your birth.”
An e Nyasaye mane ofwenyoreni Bethel kamane iwiroe siro gi mo kendo kama ne isingori kikwongʼori ne an. Koro wuogi ia e pinyni kendo idog thuru.’”
14 And Rachel answers—Leah also—and says to him, “Have we yet a portion and inheritance in the house of our father?
Eka Rael kod Lea nodwoke niya, “Bende pod wadongʼ gi pok moro amora e mwandu wuonwa?
15 Have we not been reckoned strangers to him? For he has sold us, and he also utterly consumes our money;
Donge tinde okwanowa mana kaka jomoko nono? Ok en mana ni osechiwowa kende, to osechano nyaka mwandu duto mane okendwa.
16 for all the wealth which God has taken away from our father, it [is] ours, and our children’s; and now, all that God has said to you—do.”
Adier mwandu duto ma Nyasaye osegolo kuom wuonwa gin mawa kod nyithindwa. Omiyo tim gimoro amora ma Nyasaye osenyisi.”
17 And Jacob rises, and lifts up his sons and his wives on the camels,
Eka Jakobo nokawo nyithinde kod monde mi oketo ewi ngamia,
18 and leads all his livestock, and all his substance which he has acquired, the livestock of his getting, which he has acquired in Padan-Aram, to go to his father Isaac, to the land of Canaan.
kendo nosembo jambe duto e nyime kaachiel gi gik moko duto mane osechoko e piny Padan Aram, mondo odhi ir Isaka wuon-gi e piny Kanaan.
19 And Laban has gone to shear his flock, and Rachel steals the teraphim which her father has;
Kane Laban osedhi ngʼado yie rombe, Rael nokwalo nyiseche mag wuon-gi.
20 and Jacob deceives the heart of Laban the Aramean, because he has not declared to him that he is fleeing;
To kata kamano, Jakobo nowuondo Laban ja-Aram ka ok onyise ni odok thurgi.
21 and he flees, he and all that he has, and rises, and passes over the River, and sets his face [toward] the Mount of Gilead.
Kuom mano noringo gi mago mane en-go duto, kendo nongʼado Aora koluwo yo mochomo piny gode mag Gilead.
22 And it is told to Laban on the third day that Jacob has fled,
E odiechiengʼ mar adek Laban nowinjo ni Jakobo osepondo modhi.
23 and he takes his brothers with him, and pursues after him a journey of seven days, and overtakes him in the Mount of Gilead.
Nokawo wedene molawo Jakobo; kuom ndalo abiriyo; kendo nojuke e piny gode mag Gilead.
24 And God comes to Laban the Aramean in a dream of the night and says to him, “Take heed to yourself lest you speak with Jacob from good to evil.”
Eka Nyasaye nofwenyore ne Laban ja-Aram gotieno e lek mi owachone niya, “Ne ni ok iwachone Jakobo gimoro amora, maber kata marach.”
25 And Laban overtakes Jacob; and Jacob has fixed his tent in the mountain; and Laban with his brothers have fixed [theirs] in the Mount of Gilead.
Ka Laban nojuko Jakobo noyudo ka oseguro hembe e piny gode mag Gilead kendo mi en bende gi wedene noguro hembe kanyo.
26 And Laban says to Jacob, “What have you done that you deceive my heart, and lead away my daughters as captives of the sword?
Eka Laban nopenjo Jakobo niya, “En angʼo ma isetimoni? Isewuonda kendo iseringa gi nyiga mana ka joma omak e lweny.
27 Why have you hidden yourself to flee, and deceive me, and have not declared to me, and I send you away with joy and with songs, with tambourine and with harp,
Ere gima nomiyo iringo lingʼ-lingʼ ka akia? Angʼo ma nomoni nyisa, mondo omi asewi gi mor kiwerni kendo igoni thum?
28 and have not permitted me to kiss my sons and my daughters? Now you have acted foolishly in doing [so];
Bende ne ok iweyo agoyoni oriti gi nyiga gi nyikwaya. Kuom mano isetimo gima ofuwo.
29 my hand is to God to do evil with you, but the God of your father last night has spoken to me, saying, Take heed to yourself from speaking with Jacob from good to evil.
Ngʼe ni an-gi teko mar hinyi, to Nyasach wuonu ne onyisa otieno manyoro ni, ‘Ne ni ok iwachone Jakobo gimoro amora, maber kata marach.’
30 And now, you have certainly gone, because you have been very desirous for the house of your father; why have you stolen my gods?”
Angʼeyo ni nyoro iwuok nikech siso ma in-go mar dok ir joodu. To angʼo momiyo nyoro ikwalo nyisechena?”
31 And Jacob answers and says to Laban, “Because I was afraid, for I said, Lest you violently take away your daughters from me;
Jakobo nodwoko Laban niya, “Ne aluor nikech nyo aparo ni dipo ka imaya nyigi githuon.
32 with whomsoever you find your gods—he must not live; before our brothers discern for yourself what [is] with me, and take to yourself”: and Jacob has not known that Rachel has stolen them.
To ngʼato angʼata ma iyudo gi nyisechegi ok nokwo. E nyim jowagi, rang in iwuon giri moro amora madabedgo kendo ka iyudo to kaw.” To Jakobo ne ok ongʼeyo ni Rael nosekwalo nyisechego.
33 And Laban goes into the tent of Jacob, and into the tent of Leah, and into the tent of the two handmaidens, and has not found; and he goes out from the tent of Leah, and goes into the tent of Rachel.
Eka Laban nodonjo ei hemb Jakobo kendo ei hemb Lea kendo ei hemb jotichgi ariyo ma nyiri to ne ok oyudo gimoro. Bangʼ kane osea ei hemb Lea nodonjo ei hemb Rael.
34 And Rachel has taken the teraphim, and puts them in the furniture of the camel, and sits on them; and Laban feels all the tent, and has not found;
Noyudo ka Rael osekawo nyisechego mopando e bwo kom ngamia mobetie. Laban nodwaro gik moko duto mane ni ei hema to ne ok oyudo gimoro.
35 and she says to her father, “Let it not be displeasing in the eyes of my lord that I am not able to rise at your presence, for the way of women [is] on me”; and he searches, and has not found the teraphim.
Rael nowacho ni wuon-gi niya, “Yaye ruodha, kik mirima maki koda ni atamora chungʼ e nyimi nikech an e kindena mag neno malo.” Kuom mano Laban nomanyo nyisechenego to ne ok oyudo.
36 And it is displeasing to Jacob, and he strives with Laban; and Jacob answers and says to Laban, “What [is] my transgression? What my sin, that you have burned after me?
Jakobo mirima nomako mi odhawo gi Laban. Nopenje niya, “En richo mane masetimo momiyo ilawa matek kama?
37 For you have felt all my vessels: what have you found of all the vessels of your house? Set here before my brothers, and your brothers, and they decide between us both.
Koro ero isemanyo giga duto, angʼo ma iyudo ma mari? Kete e lela e nyim oweteni kod owetena kendo we gingʼad bura e kindwa.
38 These twenty years I [am] with you: your ewes and your female goats have not miscarried, and the rams of your flock I have not eaten;
“Asebedo kodi koro higni piero ariyo, to rombi kata dieki pok obwogo bende achamo imi kata achiel.
39 the torn I have not brought to you—I repay it—from my hand you seek it; I have been deceived by day, and I have been deceived by night;
Ne ok akeloni chiayo ma ondiek ochamo; to ne achulo chiayo mangima an awuon. Bende ne iketo ni achuli kuom gimoro amora mane okwal gotieno kata godiechiengʼ.
40 I have been [thus]: drought has consumed me in the day, and frost by night, and my sleep wanders from my eyes.
Kamano e kaka ne abet; chiengʼ nochama godiechiengʼ kendo koyo nochama gotieno, kendo nindo noringo oa e wangʼa.
41 This [is] to me twenty years in your house: I have served you fourteen years for your two daughters, and six years for your flock; and you change my hire ten times;
Ne en kama kuom higni piero ariyo kane an e odi. Ne atiyoni kuom higni apar gangʼwen ne nyigi ariyo, kendo higni auchiel ne jambi, kendo ne imaya pokna nyadipar.
42 unless the God of my father, the God of Abraham, and the Fear of Isaac, had been for me, surely now you had sent me away empty; God has seen my affliction and the labor of my hands, and reproves last night.”
Ka dine ni Nyasach wuora, Nyasach Ibrahim, kod luor mane Isaka nigo, ne ok ni koda, adier dine iriemba gi lweta nono. To Nyasaye oseneno chandruokna gi tich matek mar lweta, kendo nyo okweri otieno manyoro ni kik itimna gimoro marach.”
43 And Laban answers and says to Jacob, “The daughters [are] my daughters, and the sons my sons, and the flock my flock, and all that you are seeing [is] mine; and to my daughters—what do I to these today, or to their sons whom they have born?
Laban nodwoko Jakobo niya, “Mon-go gin nyiga, nyithindogo gin nyithinda, kendo kwethgo gin kwethga. Gik moko duto minenogo gin maga. To koro en angʼo marach madatimne nyigagi, kata ne nyithindo ma ginywolo?
44 And now, come, let us make a covenant, I and you, and it has been for a witness between me and you.”
Bi, mondo watim singruok, in kod an, kendo we obed kaka ranyisi e kindwa kodi.”
45 And Jacob takes a stone, and lifts it up [for] a standing pillar;
Omiyo Jakobo nokawo kidi mochunge ka siro.
46 and Jacob says to his brothers, “Gather stones,” and they take stones, and make a heap; and they eat there on the heap;
Nowacho ne wedene niya, “Chokuru kite moko.” Kuom mano negikawo kite kendo negichokogi pith mine gichiemo but pidhno.
47 and Laban calls it Jegar-Sahadutha; and Jacob has called it Galeed.
Laban nochako nying kanyo ni Jegar-Sahadutha; kendo Jakobo nochake ni Galeed.
48 And Laban says, “This heap [is] witness between me and you today”; therefore has he called its name Galeed;
Laban nowacho niya, “Pidhni en janeno e kinda kodi kawuono!” Mano emomiyo iluonge ni Galeed.
49 Mizpah also, for he said, “YHWH watches between me and you, for we are hidden from one another;
Bende kanyo nochak ni Mizpa (tiende ni kar ngʼicho), nikech Laban nowacho niya, “Mad Jehova Nyasaye bed jarit e kinda kodi ka wan mabor.
50 if you afflict my daughters, or take wives beside my daughters—there is no man with us—see, God [is] witness between me and you.”
Ka isando nyiga kata ikendo nyiri mamoko bangʼ nyigagi, kata obedoni onge janeno kae, to ngʼe malongʼo ni Nyasaye e janeno e kindwa.”
51 And Laban says to Jacob, “Behold, this heap, and behold, the standing pillar which I have cast between me and you;
Laban nomedo wacho ne Jakobo niya, “Ne pidhni kendo ne sironi maseketo e kinda kodi.
52 this heap [is] witness, and the standing pillar [is] witness, that I do not pass over this heap to you, and that you do not pass over this heap and this standing pillar to me—for evil;
Pidhni kata sironi gin joneno ni ok nakadh pidhni mondo amonji kendo in bende ok nikadh pidhni kata sironi mondo imonja.
53 the God of Abraham and the God of Nahor, judges between us—the God of their father,” and Jacob swears by the Fear of his father Isaac.
Mad Nyasach Ibrahim, kod Nahor, gi Nyasach kwereni obed jangʼad bura e kindwa.” Omiyo Jakobo notimo kwongʼruok e nying Nyasach Isaka wuon-gi.
54 And Jacob sacrifices a sacrifice on the mountain, and calls to his brothers to eat bread, and they eat bread, and lodge on the mountain;
Notimo misango e godno kendo noluongo wedene e nyasino. Bangʼ kane gisechiemo, ne ginindo kanyo.
55 and Laban rises early in the morning, and kisses his sons and his daughters, and blesses them; and Laban goes on, and turns back to his place.
Kiny ne gokinyi mangʼich, Laban nogone nyige gi nyikwaye oriti kendo nogwedhogi. Eka nowuok modok dala.
