< 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."
Jinanji’e ty enta’ o ana-dahi’ i Labaneo, nanao ty hoe, Finao’ Iakòbe ze fonga fanañan-drae’ay; le ty varan-drae’ay ty nampañefoefo aze.
2 Jacob saw the expression on Laban's face, and look, it was not as it had been.
Ie niisa’ Iakòbe ty vinta’ i Labàne le naheo’e te tsy niatrefa’e manahake te taolo.
3 Then God said to Jacob, "Return to the land of your fathers, and to your relatives, and I will be with you."
Aa le hoe t’Iehovà am’ Iakòbe, Mibaliha mb’an-tanen-droae’o mb’aman-drolongo’o mb’eo fa indrezako.
4 Jacob sent and called Rachel and Leah to the field where his flock was,
Aa le nampihitrife’e an-koike t’i Rahkele naho i Leae t’ie homb’ am-piandrazañe mb’am-pirai-lia’e mb’eo.
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.
Le nanoa’e ty hoe, Treako ty vintan-drae’areo te tsy iatrefa’e manahake taolo, fe mañimb’ ahy t’i Andrianañaharen-draeko.
6 You know that I have served your father with all of my strength.
Fohi’areo t’ie nitoroñ’ an-drae’areo an-kaozarako iaby,
7 Yet your father has cheated me and changed my wages ten times, but God did not allow him to hurt me.
fe nifañahian-drae’areo naho novae’e im-polo o tam­be­koo, f’ie tsy nimetean’ Añahare hijoy ahy.
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.
Ie nanao ty hoe: O varevareo ro tambe’o, le songa niterake varevare o hare’eo, aa ie nanao ty hoe, O tanteharañeo ro tambe’o. Le hene nampipoke tanteharañe o hareo.
9 Thus God has taken away your father's livestock and given them to me.
Aa le sininton’ Añahare aman-drae’areo o hare’eo vaho natolo’e ahy.
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.
Teo te indraik’ amy sam-pisaheañey le nañinofy Iraho naho niandra vaho nahatrea te hene tanteharañe ndra varevare ndra poake o oselahy nitongoa amo mpirai-liao.
11 The angel of God said to me in the dream, 'Jacob,' and I said, 'Here I am.'
Le hoe t’i anjelin’ Añahare amako ama’ nofy, O Iakòbe, vaho natoiko ty hoe, Intoy iraho.
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.
Le hoe re, Ampiandrao fihaino vaho mahaoniña te songa tanteharañe ndra varevare ndra poake ty ose­lahy misahe o hareo, amy te nitreako iaby ze nanoe’ i Labàne ama’o.
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.'"
Izaho i Andrianañahare’ i Beteley, i nañoriza’o i vatolahiy naho nifanta’oy. Miongaha arè, engao ty toetse toy vaho mimpolia mb’an-tanen-dongo’o añe.
14 Rachel and Leah answered him, "Is there yet any portion or inheritance for us in our father's house?
Aa le hoe ty natoi’ i Rahkele naho i Leae, Mbe aman’ anjara ndra lova añ’anjom­ban-drae’ay hao zahay?
15 Aren't we regarded by him as foreigners? For he has sold us, and he has used up what was paid for us.
Tsy mone atao’e te ambahiny kanao naleta’e? mbore nabotse’e iaby o lafitihi’aio.
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."
Toe anay naho a o keleia’aio ze fonga hanaña’e nasintan’ Añahare aman-drae’ay; aa le ano ze tsinaran’ Añahare ama’o.
17 Then Jacob got up and put his sons and his wives on the camels,
Niongak’ amy zao t’Iakòbe naho nampiningire’e an-drameva o vali’eo naho o ana’eo,
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.
vaho niroahe’e mb’eo ze hene hare’e naho o vara fa natonto’eo, o hanaña’e naho hare niazo’e e Padan’ arameo, vaho nitehafe’e mb’aman-drae’e Ietsake an-tane Kanàne añe.
19 Now Laban had gone to shear his sheep, and Rachel stole the idols that belonged to her father.
Aa ie fa nimb’am-pañitsifan’ añondri’e mb’eo t’i Labàne, le kinizo’ i Rahkele o ndraharen’ anjomba an-drae’eo.
20 Jacob outwitted Laban the Aramean by not telling him that he intended to flee.
Toe nifañahie’ Iakòbe t’i Labàne t’ie tsy nitalily ama’e te nienga,
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.
ie nimotiotse mb’eo naho ze ama’e iaby. Niongake re nits­ake i sakay, le nitandrifie’e mb’am-bohibohi’ i Gilade mb’eo ty lahara’e.
22 Laban was told on the third day that Jacob had fled.
Natalily amy Labàne amy andro fahateloy te nibioñe t’Iakòbe.
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.
Aa le nendese’e o longo’eo naho nihoridañe’e fito andro vaho nahatratse aze am-bohibohi’ i Gilade eo.
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."
Le niheo amy Labàne nte-Arame ami’ty nofy t’i Andrianañahare nanao ama’e ty hoe, Mitomira, tsy hisaon­tsy am’ Iakòbe ndra ty soa ndra ty raty.
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.
Aa le nitra’ i Labàne t’Iakòbe. Fa nañoren-kibohotse am-bohitse ey t’Iakòbe, le nitobe am-bohibohi’ i Gilade ao t’i Labàne mirolongo.
26 Laban said to Jacob, "What have you done? You have deceived me, and carried away my daughters like captives taken in war?
Hoe t’i Labàne am’ Iakòbe, Ino o nanoe’oo? Ie niponiora’o am-pamañahiañe vaho namaoke o anak’ ampelakoo hoe mpirohy ni­tsepahem-pibara.
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.
Ino ty nibioña’o am-pañahy naho nivokake amako tsy nitalily, ie ho nampionjoneko an-drebeke naho sabo vaho kantsàñe miharo kararàke.
28 And you did not allow me to kiss my sons and my daughters? Now you have done foolishly.
Tsy nimea’o ty hañondrohako o ana-dahiko naho anak’ ampelakoo? Toe nanao hagegean-drehe te nanoa’o.
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.'
An-tañako ty haozarañe hañoho-doza ama’ areo fe nitsara amako ami’ty nofy aniankale t’i Andrianañaharen-drae’o, ty hoe, Mitomira tsy hivolañe ndra soa ndra raty am’ Iakòbe.
30 Now you have indeed gone away, because you longed greatly for your father's house. But why have you stolen my gods?"
Ie amy zao, ndra te tsy nete tsy nionjom-b’eo irehe ami’ty hamaniña’o ty anjomban-drae’o, manao akore te nikamere’o o ndraharekoo?
31 Jacob answered Laban, "Because I was afraid, for I thought that you would take your daughters from me by force.'
Le hoe ty natoi’ Iakobe amy Labane, Toe nihemban-draho, nataoko ho nitavane’o amako o anak’ ampela’oo.
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.
Fe tsy ho veloñe ze isa’o mitañe o ndrahare’oo. Itsikaraho añatrefa’ o longon-tikañeo le endeso ze fanaña’o amako. Toe tsy nifohi’ Iakòbe t’ie kinizo’ i Rahkele.
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.
Aa le nimoake an-kiboho’ Iakòbe ao t’i Labàne, naho an-kiboho’ i Leae, vaho an-kiboho’ i mpitoro-ampela roe rey fe tsy nahaisake. Niakatse an-kiboho’ i Leae naho nizilik’ an-kiboho’ i Rahkele.
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.
Ie amy zao fa rinambe’ i Rahkele o ndrahareo naho napo’e ambanen-pitobohañe an-drameva ao vaho nitoboha’e. Nitsi­tsife’ i Labàne kodaba i kibohotsey fe tsy nahaoniñe.
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.
Le hoe re aman-drae’e, Ehe tsy ho viñera’ ty talèko te tsy imeteako ongake añatrefa’o, fa miampela. Aa le nikodebe re fe tsy nitendreke o sampo­sampon-drahao.
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?
Niviñetse amy zao t’Iakòbe le nendaha’e t’i Labàne; hoe t’Iakòbe amy Labàne. Ino o fiolàko? Ino o hakeoko nañoridaña’o ahy an-kelokeo?
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.
Aa ndra te nitsitsife’o tsoeke o haraokoo, ino amo haraon’ anjomba’oo ty niisa’o? Apoho añatrefa’ o longokoo naho o longo’oo etoañe, hizaka’ iareo añivon-tika roe.
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.
Fa roapolo taoñe henanekeo ty nitraofako ama’o, le lia’e tsy nañary anake o añondri-vave’o naho o ose-vave’oo vaho tsy nihinanako o añondri-lahin-dia-rai’oo.
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.
Tsy nendeseko ama’o ze nirimitem-biby fa nivavèko i hamotsoañey; pinai’o an-tañako ndra ty kinametse antoandro ndra ty kinizo haleñe.
40 I was consumed by the heat during the day and by the frost at night, and sleepless nights.
Ie nabotse’ ty fipisañañe te handro, nangora­tsake te haleñe vaho nibiòña’ ty roro o masokoo.
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.
Inay i roapolo taoñe naha-mpiàmañ’ anjomba’o ahy rezay; nitoroñe azo folo-tao-efats’ amby hahazoako i anak’ ampela’o roe rey, vaho enen-taoñe o hare’oo, mbore novae’o im-polo i tambekoy.
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."
Aa naho tsy nimpiamako t’i Andrianañaharen-draeko, t’i Andrianañahare’ i Avrahame, naho i nampañeveñe Ietsàkey le toe ho nampolie’o mañomaño. Nahavazoho o hasotriakoo naho o fitoloñan-­tañakoo t’i Andrianañahare vaho nañendak’ azo aniankale.
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?
Aa le hoe ty natoi’ i Labàne am’ Iakòbe: Anak’ ampelako o anak’ ampelao, anadahiko o anadahio, hàreko o hareo vaho hene ahiko naho a i anakampelako rey ze isa’o. Fe ino ty hanoeko anito amo anak’ampelakoo, naho amo ana-dahy nisamahe’eo?
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."
Mbetoa arè hifañina, izaho naho ihe; le ie ty ho valolombeloñe añivon-tikañe.
45 Jacob took a stone and set it up as a standing-stone.
Aa le nandrambe vato t’Iakòbe vaho natroa’e ho ajiba.
46 Jacob said to his relatives, "Gather stones." So they took stones and made a mound. They ate there by the mound.
Le hoe t’Iakòbe aman-drolongo’e, Amorio vato, le nandrambe vato iereo naho navotre, vaho nikama amy votrem-batoy.
47 Laban called it Jegar Sahadutha, but Jacob called it Galeed.
Nanoe’ i Labàne ty hoe Iegare-Sahadotà, f’ie natao Iakòbe Galede.
48 Laban said, "This mound is a witness between me and you today." Therefore it was named Galeed
Hoe t’i Labàne, Valolombeloñe añivoko naho ihe androany ty votre toy. Aa le natao Galede ty añara’e,
49 and Mizpah, for he said, "God watch between me and you, when we are absent one from another.
naho Mizpa, fa hoe re, Hivazoho añivo’o naho izaho t’Iehovà naho tsy amy ila’ey ty raike.
50 If you mistreat my daughters, or if you take wives besides my daughters, although no one is with us; see, God is witness between me and you."
Naho sarerahe’o o anak’ ampelakoo, ndra mañenga valy mandikoatse o anakoo, itika tsy amam-pañalañalañe, tiahio te valolombeloñe añivon-tika t’i Andrianañahare.
51 Laban said to Jacob, "See this mound, and see the standing-stone, which I have set between me and you.
Le hoe t’i Labàne am’Iakòbe, Hehe ty votre tia naho ty ajiba najadoko añivo’o naho izaho.
52 May this mound be a witness, and the standing-stone be a witness, that I will not pass over this mound to you, and that you will not pass over this mound and this standing-stone to me, to do harm.
Valolombeloñe ty votre tia, naho valolombeloñe ty ajiba toy te tsy handilarako mb’ ama’o mb’eo, vaho tsy ho lika’o ty votre toy ndra ty ajiba toy homb’amako, hañeloke.
53 The God of Abraham, and the God of Nahor, the God of their father, judge between us." Then Jacob swore by the fear of his father Isaac.
T’i Andrianañahare’ i Avrahame, naho t’i Andrianañahare’ i Nakore, t’i Andrianañaharen-droae’ iareo ty hizaka añivon-tika. Aa le nifanta amy Fañeveñan-drae’e Ietsàke t’Iakòbe,
54 Jacob offered a sacrifice on the mountain, and called his relatives to eat the meal. They ate the meal and stayed all night on the mountain.
le nañenga soroñe ambohitse eo t’Iakòbe naho kinoi’e o longo’eo hikama, le nikama vaho nialeñe amy vohitsey.
55 Early in the morning, Laban rose up, and kissed his sons and his daughters, and blessed them. Laban departed and returned to his place.
Nañaleñaleñe t’i Labàne t’ie nitroatse naho norofa’e o ana’eo naho o anak’ampela’eo vaho nitata’e. Niavotse amy zao t’i Labane nimpoly mb’ama’e añe.
