Genesis 31
1 He heard the words of Laban's sons, saying, "Jacob has taken away all that was our father's. From that which was our father's he has gained all this wealth."
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 Jacob saw the expression on Laban's face, and look, it was not as it had been.
And he saw Jacob [the] face of Laban and there! not [was] he with him as yesterday three days ago.
3 Then God said to Jacob, "Return to the land of your fathers, and to your relatives, 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 Jacob sent and called Rachel and Leah to the field where his flock was,
And he sent Jacob and he summoned Rachel and Leah the field to flock his.
5 and said to them, "I see the expression on your father's face, that it is not what it was before. But the God of my father has been with me.
And he said to them [am] seeing I [the] face of father your that not [is] he to me as yesterday three days ago and [the] God of father my he has been with me.
6 You know that I have served your father with all of my strength.
And you you know that with all strength my I have served father your.
7 Yet your father has cheated me and changed my wages ten times, but God did not allow him to hurt me.
And father your he has deceived me and he has changed wage[s] my ten times and not he has permitted him God to do harm with me.
8 If he said this, 'The speckled will be your wages,' then all the flock bore speckled. If he said this, 'The streaked will be your wages,' then all the flock bore streaked.
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 your father's livestock 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 about at the time when the flocks were breeding I looked up and saw in a dream, and look, the male goats which leaped on the flock were streaked, speckled, and spotted.
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 The angel of God said to me in the dream, 'Jacob,' and I said, 'Here I am.'
And he said to me [the] angel of God in a dream O Jacob and I said here [am] I.
12 He said, 'Now lift up your eyes, and look, all the male goats which leap on the flock are streaked, speckled, and spotted, for I have seen all that Laban has done to 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 a standing-stone, where you made a vow to me. Now arise, go out from this land and return to the land of your birth.'"
I [am] the God of Beth-el where you anointed there a pillar where you vowed to me there a vow now arise go out from the land this and return to [the] land of kindred your.
14 Rachel and Leah answered him, "Is there yet any portion or inheritance for us in our father's house?
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 Aren't we regarded by him as foreigners? For he has sold us, and he has used up what was paid for us.
¿ Not foreigners are we accounted by him for he has sold us and he has consumed also continuously money our.
16 For all the wealth which God has taken away from our father, that is ours and our children's. Now then, whatever God has said to 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.
17 Then Jacob got up and put his sons and his wives on the camels,
And he arose Jacob and he lifted up children his and wives his on camels.
18 and he took away all his livestock and all his property which he had acquired, including the livestock which he had gained in Paddan Aram, to go to Isaac his father in the land of Canaan.
And he drove all livestock his and all possession[s] his which he had accumulated [the] livestock of acquisition his which he had accumulated in Paddan Aram to go to Isaac father his [the] land of towards Canaan.
19 Now Laban had gone to shear his sheep, and Rachel stole the idols that belonged to her father.
And Laban he had gone to shear sheep his and she stole Rachel the teraphim which [belonged] to father her.
20 Jacob outwitted Laban the Aramean by not telling him that he intended to flee.
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 everything that he had, and he arose and crossed the River, and set out toward the hill country of 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.
22 Laban was told on the third day that Jacob had fled.
And it was told to Laban on the day third that he had fled Jacob.
23 He took his relatives with him, and pursued after him for seven days, and caught up with him in the hill country of Gilead.
And he took relatives his with him and he pursued after him a journey of seven days and he overtook him in [the] hill country of Gilead.
24 God came to Laban the Aramean in a dream at night, and said to him, "Be careful that you do not speak to Jacob either good or bad."
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.
25 Laban caught up with Jacob. Now Jacob had pitched his tent in the hill country, and Laban with his relatives camped in the hill country of Gilead.
And he overtook Laban Jacob and Jacob he had pitched tent his in the hill country and Laban he pitched tent with relatives his in [the] hill country of Gilead.
26 Laban said to Jacob, "What have you done? You have deceived me, and carried away my daughters like captives taken in war?
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 Why did you flee in secret and deceive me, and not tell me, so that I might have sent you away with joy and singing, with a tambourine and with a lyre.
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 you did not allow me to kiss my sons and my daughters? Now you have done foolishly.
And not did you allow? me to kiss sons my and daughters my now you have behaved foolishly to do.
29 It is in my power to do you harm, but the God of your father spoke to me last night, saying, 'Be careful that you do not speak 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 Now you have indeed gone away, because you longed greatly for your father's house. But why 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 Jacob answered Laban, "Because I was afraid, for I thought that you would take your daughters from me by force.'
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 Anyone you find your gods with shall not live. In the presence of our relatives, identify what I have that is yours, and take it with you." For Jacob did not know 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.
33 Laban went into Jacob's tent, into Leah's tent, and into the tent of the two female servants; but he did not find them. He went out of Leah's tent, and entered into Rachel's tent.
And he went Laban in [the] tent of Jacob - and in [the] tent of Leah and in [the] tent of [the] two the maidservants and not he found [them] and he came out from [the] tent of Leah and he went in [the] tent of Rachel.
34 Now Rachel had taken the idols, put them in the camel's saddle, and sat on them. Laban searched the whole tent, but did not find them.
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 She said to her father, "Do not let my lord be angry that I can't rise up before you; for the manner of women is on me." He searched, but did not find the teraphim.
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.
36 Jacob was angry, and argued with Laban. Jacob answered Laban, "What is my trespass? What is my sin, that you have hotly pursued after me?
And it burned to Jacob and he quarreled with Laban and he answered Jacob and he said to Laban what? [is] transgression my what? [is] sin my that you have hotly pursued after me.
37 Now that you have searched around in all my stuff, did you find anything from all of your household's belongings? Put it here before my relatives and your relatives, that they may judge between the two of us.
That you have searched all things my what? did you find of all [the] things of household your put [it] thus before relatives my and relatives your so they may decide between [the] two of us.
38 These twenty years I have been with you. Your ewes and your female goats have not miscarried their young, and I haven't eaten the rams of your flocks.
This twenty year[s] I [have been] with you ewes your and female goats your not they have miscarried and [the] rams of flock your not I have eaten.
39 That which was torn by animals I did not bring to you. I bore its loss. You demanded payment from me whether stolen by day or stolen by night.
A torn animal not I brought to you I I bore [the] loss of it from hand my you sought it [one] stolen of day and [one] stolen of night.
40 I was consumed by the heat during the day and by the frost at night, and sleepless nights.
I was in the day it consumed me heat and frost in the night and it fled sleep my from eyes my.
41 These twenty years I have been in your house. I served you fourteen years for your two daughters, and six years for your flock, and you have changed my wages ten times.
This [belonged] to me twenty year[s] in household your I served you four-teen year[s] for [the] two daughters your and six years for flock[s] your and you changed wage[s] my ten times.
42 Unless the God of my father, the God of Abraham, and the one whom Isaac fears, had been with me, surely now you would have sent me away empty-handed. God has seen my harsh treatment and my hard work, and rebuked you last night."
If not [the] God of father my [the] God of Abraham and [the] fear of Isaac he had been to me for now empty you sent away me affliction my and ([the] toil of *LB(ah)*) hands my he has seen God and he decided last night.
43 Laban answered Jacob, "The daughters are my daughters, the children are my children, the flocks are my flocks, and all that you see is mine: and what can I do this day to these my daughters, or to their children whom they have borne?
And he answered Laban and he said to Jacob the daughters [are] daughters my and the children [are] children my and the flock [is] flock my and all that you [are] seeing [belongs] to me it and for daughters my what? will I do for these this day or for children their whom they have borne.
44 So now, come, let us make a covenant, you and I, and let it be a witness between the two of us." And he said to him, "Look, there is no one with us; see, God is witness between me and you."
And therefore come! let us make a covenant I and you and it will become a witness between me and between you.
45 Jacob took a stone and set it up as a standing-stone.
And he took Jacob a stone and he raised up it a pillar.
46 Jacob said to his relatives, "Gather stones." So they took stones and made a mound. They ate there by the mound.
And he said Jacob to relatives his gather stones and they took stones and they made a heap and they ate there at the heap.
47 Laban called it Jegar Sahadutha, but Jacob called it Galeed.
And he called it Laban Jegar Sahadutha and Jacob he called it Galeed.

If you will mistreat daughters my and if you will take wives to daughters my there not [is] anyone with us see God [is] a witness between me and between you.
51 Laban said to Jacob, "See this mound, and see the standing-stone, which I have set between me and you.
And he said Laban to Jacob here! - the heap this and here! the pillar which I have set up between me and between you.
