Genesis 31
1 Then heard he the words of the sons of Laban, saying, Jacob hath taken away all that belonged to our father; Yea out of what belonged to our father, hath he made all this wealth.
Ary Jakoba nandre ny tenin’ ny zanakalahin’ i Labana nanao hoe: Efa lasan’ i Jakoba avokoa izay rehetra nananan’ ny raintsika; ary avy tamin’ ny fananan’ ny raintsika no nahazoany izao voninahitra rehetra izao.
2 And Jacob looked upon the face of Laban, —and lo! it was not with him as afore-time.
Ary hitan’ i Jakoba ny tarehin’ i Labana, fa indro tsy mba miramirana taminy tahaka ny taloha izy.
3 Then said Yahweh unto Jacob, Return unto the land of thy fathers and to thy kindred, —that I may be with thee.
Ary hoy Jehovah tamin’ i Jakoba: Modia any amin’ ny tanin’ ny razanao sy any amin’ ny havanao; ary homba anao Aho.
4 So Jacob sent, and called for Rachel and for Leah, to the field unto his flock;
Ary Jakoba naniraka ka nampaka an-dRahely sy Lea hankany an-tsaha ho any amin’ ny ondry aman’ osiny
5 and said to them, Beholding, am I the face of your father, that it is not towards me as aforetime, —nevertheless, the God of my father, hath been with me;
ka nanao taminy hoe: Hitako ny tarehin’ ny rainareo, fa tsy mba miramirana amiko tahaka ny taloha; fa Andriamanitry ny raiko no efa nomba ahy.
6 and, ye, know that with all my vigour, have I served your father.
Ary fantatrareo fa tamin’ ny heriko rehetra no nanompoako ny rainareo.
7 But, your father, hath deceived me, and hath changed my wages ten times, —yet God hath not suffered him to deal harmfully with me.
Fa ny rainareo efa namitaka ahy ka efa nanova ny karamako im-polo; nefa tsy navelan’ Andriamanitra hahatonga loza tamiko izy.
8 If thus he saith, The speckled, shall be thy wages, then do all the flock bring forth speckled, —But if thus he saith, The ring-straked, shall be thy wages, then do all the flock bring forth ring-straked.
Raha nilaza hoe izy: Ny mara rehetra ho karamanao, dia niteraka mara ny ondry aman’ osy rehetra: ary raha nilaza hoe indray izy: Ny sadika rehetra ho karamanao, dia niteraka sadika ny ondry aman’ osy rehetra.
9 So hath God stripped away the herds of your father, and given them to me.
Dia nalain’ Andriamanitra ny fananan’ ny rainareo ka nomeny ahy.
10 And it came to pass in the season when the flock were in heat, then lifted I mine eyes and beheld in a dream, —and lo! the he-goats that were leaping upon the flock, were ring-straked speckled and dappled.
Ary rehefa mby amin’ ny andro izay nikambanan’ ny ondry aman’ osy, dia natopiko ny masoko, ka hitako tamin’ ny nofy, ary indro, sadika sy mara ary sada ny lahy izay nikambana tamin’ ny ondrivavy sy ny osivavy.
11 And the messenger of God said unto me in a dream, Jacob! and I said, Behold me!
Ary hoy Ilay Anjelin’ Andriamanitra tamiko tamin’ ny nofy: Ry Jakoba; dia hoy izaho: Inty aho.
12 Then he said Lift, I pray thee, thine eyes and behold All, the he-goats that are leaping upon the flock are ring-straked, speckled, and dappled, —for I have seen all that Laban, has been doing to thee.
Ary hoy Izy: Mba atopazy ny masonao ka jereo, fa sadika sy mara ary sada ny lahy rehetra izay mikambana amin’ ny ondrivavy sy ny osivavy, satria efa hitako izay rehetra nataon’ i Labana taminao.
13 I, am the GOD of Beth-el, where thou didst anoint a pillar, where thou didst vow to me a vow, —Now, rise, go forth out of this land, and return unto the land of thy kindred.
Izaho no Andriamanitr’ i Betela, izay nanosoranao tsangam-bato sy nivoadianao tamiko; miaingà ankehitriny hiala amin’ ity tany ity, ka modia any amin’ ny tany nahaterahanao.
14 Then responded Rachel and Leah, and said to him, —Have we any longer a portion or an inheritance in the house of our father?
Dia namaly Rahely sy Lea ka nanao taminy hoe: Mbola misy anjara sy lova ho anay va ao an-tranon’ ny rainay?
15 Are we not accounted, aliens, to him seeing that having sold us, he hath then gone on devouring, our silver?
Tsy nataony toy ny vahiny va izahay? Fa efa namidiny izahay sady nohaniny lalandava ny volanay rehetra.
16 Surely all the riches which God hath stripped off from our father, unto us, it belongeth, and unto our sons, —Now, therefore, whatsoever God hath said unto thee, do.
Fa ny harena rehetra izay nalain’ Andriamanitra tamin’ ny rainay, dia anay sy an’ ny zanakay izany; koa ankehitriny, izay rehetra nolazain’ Andriamanitra taminao dia ataovy.
17 So Jacob arose, —and mounted his sons and his wives on the camels;
Dia niainga Jakoba, ka nampitaingeniny ny rameva ny zanany sy ny vadiny;
18 and drave away all his herds and all his goods which he had gathered, the gains he had gained, which he had gathered in Padan-aram; that he might go in unto Isaac his father unto the land of Canaan.
dia nitondra ny ombiny sy ny ondry aman’ osiny rehetra izy, mbamin’ ny fananana rehetra izay efa nohariny, dia ny omby aman’ ondry izay efa azony tany Mesopotamia, mba hankany amin’ Isaka rainy any amin’ ny tany Kanana.
19 Now, Laban, had gone, to shear his sheep, —so Rachel stole the household gods that belonged to her father,
Ary Labana efa lasa nandeha hanety ny ondry aman’ osiny; dia nangalarin-dRahely ny sampin-drainy.
20 Thus Jacob stole away unawares to Laban, the Syrian, —in that he had not told him that he was about to flee.
Ary Jakoba dia nangala-dia tamin’ i Labana Syriana, fa tsy nambarany taminy ny amin’ ny handosirany.
21 So he fled, he—and all that he had, and he arose, and passed over the River, —and set his face towards the mountain of Gilead.
Ary nandositra izy ka nitondra ny fananany rehetra; dia niainga izy ka nita ny Ony, ary nizotra hankany an-tendrombohitra Gileada.
22 And it was told Laban, on the third day, —that Jacob had fled.
Ary tamin’ ny andro fahatelo dia nisy nanambara tamin’ i Labana fa lasa nandositra Jakoba.
23 So he took his brethren with him, and pursued after him a journey of seven days—and overtook him in the mountain of Gilead.
Dia nitondra ny havany homba azy izy ka nanenjika azy lalan-kafitoana, dia nahatratra azy teo an-tendrombohitra Gileada.
24 And God went in unto Laban the Syrian in a dream of the night, —and said to him Take heed to thyself that thou speak not with Jacob either good or bad.
Fa Andriamanitra nankeo amin’ i Labana Syriana tamin’ ny nofy nony alina ka nanao taminy hoe: Tandremo mba tsy hasianao teny akory Jakoba, na soa na ratsy.
25 So then Laban came up with Jacob, —Jacob, having pitched his tent in the mountain, Laban, also, with his brethren pitched in the mountain of Gilead.
Ary Labana dia nahatratra an’ i Jakoba. Ary Jakoba dia efa nanorina ny lainy teo an-tendrombohitra; ary Labana sy ny havany kosa nanorin-day teo an-tendrombohitr’ i Gileada.
26 Then said Laban to Jacob, What hadst thou done, that thou shouldst steal away unawares to me, —and shouldst carry off my daughters, as captives of the sword?
Ary hoy Labana tamin’ i Jakoba: Inona izao ataonao izao, no dia nangala-dia tamiko ianao ka nitondra ny zanako-vavy toy ny babo azo tamin’ ny sabatra?
27 Wherefore didst thou secretly flee, and rob me, —and didst not tell me, that I might send thee away with rejoicing and with songs, with timbrel and with lyre;
Nahoana no nandositra mangingina ianao ka nangala-dia tamiko; ary tsy nanambara tamiko ianao mba hanaterako anao amin’ ny fifaliana sy ny hira, amin’ ny ampongatapaka sy ny lokanga,
28 and didst not suffer me to kiss my sons and my daughters? Now, hast thou done, foolishly.
sady tsy mba navelanao hanoroka ny zanako-lahy sy ny zanako-vavy aho? Fa izao dia efa nanao adaladala ianao.
29 It is in the power of my hand, to deal with thee for harm, —but the God of your father, last night, spake unto me, saying, Take heed to thyself that thou speak not with Jacob, either good or bad.
Manan-kery hanisy ratsy anareo ny tanako; fa Andriamanitry ny rainareo efa niteny tamiko halina ka nanao hoe: Tandremo mba tsy hasianao teny akory Jakoba, na soa na ratsy.
30 But, now, though thou, didst even take thy journey, because thou, didst sorely long, for the house of thy father, wherefore didst thou steal away my gods?
Ary ankehitriny, raha mandeha tokoa ianao, satria manina ny tranon’ ny rainao indrindra ianao, nahoana no nangalarinao ny andriamanitro?
31 And Jacob answered and said unto Laban, —Because I was afraid, for I said, Lest thou take by force thy daughters from me!
Dia namaly Jakoba ka nanao tamin’ i Labana hoe: Satria natahotra aho; fa hoy izaho: Angamba halainao an-keriny amiko ny zanakao-vavy.
32 He with whom thou find thy gods, shall not live! Before our brethren, note thou for thyself what is with me and take what is thine. Neither did Jacob know that, Rachel, had stolen them.
Izay hahitanao ny andriamanitrao dia aza velomina; eto anatrehan’ ny havantsika savao izay ato amiko, ka ento ny anao. Fa tsy fantatr’ i Jakoba fa Rahely no efa nangalatra azy.
33 Then entered Laban into the tent of Jacob and into the tent of Leah and into the tent of the two handmaids, and found nothing, —then went he forth out of the tent of Leah, and entered into the tent of Rachel.
Ary Labana niditra tao an-dain’ i Jakoba sy tao an-dain’ i Lea ary tao an-dain’ ny ankiziny roa vavy, fa tsy nahita. Dia niala tao an-dain’ i Lea izy ka niditra tao an-dain-Rahely.
34 Now Rachel, had taken the household gods and put them in the basket-saddle of the camel, and taken her seat upon them. And Laban felt about throughout all the tent, and found them not.
Fa efa nalain-dRahely ny sampy ka nataony tao anatin’ ny laselin’ ny rameva, dia nipetraka teo amboniny izy. Ary Labana dia nikaroka eran’ ny lay rehetra, fa tsy nahita.
35 And she said unto her father, Let it not be vexing in the eyes of my lord that I cannot rise up at thy presence, for, the way of women, is upon me. So he made search, but found not the household gods,
Ary hoy Rahely tamin’ ny rainy: Aza fady aho, tompokolahy, fa tsy mahazo mitsangana eto anatrehanao aho, satria azon’ ny fombam-behivavy. Dia nikaroka fatratra izy, fa tsy nahita ny sampy.
36 And it was vexing to Jacob and he contended with Laban, —and Jacob responded and said to Laban, What was my trespass, what my sin, that thou shouldst have come burning after me?
Dia tezitra Jakoba ka nifamaly tamin’ i Labana; ary namaly Jakoba ka nanao tamin’ i Labana hoe: Inona no heloko? inona no otako, no dia niolomay nanenjika ahy ianao?
37 Now that thou hast felt about among all my goods, what hast thou found of the goods of thine own house? Set it out here, right before my brethren and thy brethren, —that they may give sentence betwixt us two.
Fa efa nosavanao avokoa ny entako rehetra, koa inona no fanaka avy tany an-tranonao hitanao tao? Apetraho eto anatrehan’ ny havako sy ny havanao izany, hitsarany antsika roa lahy,
38 This twenty years’ time, have, I, been with thee—Thy ewes and thy she-goats, have not cast their young, —And the rams of thy flock, have I not eaten,
Izao roa-polo taona izao no nitoerako tany aminao; ny ondrivavinao sy ny osivavinao tsy mba namotsotra, ary tsy mba nihinana ny ondrilahy avy tamin’ ny ondrinao aho.
39 The torn, have I not brought in unto thee—I bare the loss, At my hand, didst thou require it, —Stolen by day, or stolen by night.
Izay voaviraviram-biby tsy mba nentiko tany aminao, fa izaho no nanolo azy; teo an-tanako no nitadiavanao azy, na ny nangalarina andro, na ny nangalarina alina.
40 Thus have I been—By day, drought hath consumed me, And, frost, by, night, —So that my sleep fled away from mine eyes.
Nony antoandro matin’ ny hain’ andro aho, ary nony alina dia matin’ ny fanala; ary nandositra ny masoko ny torimaso.
41 This, hath been my lot twenty years in thy house, —I served thee fourteen years for thy two daughters, And six years for thy sheep—And thou didst change my wages ten times: —
Izao roa-polo taona izao no nitoerako tany an-tranonao, ka efatra ambin’ ny folo taona no nanompoako anao hahazoako azy mirahavavy zanakao, ary enin-taona kosa hahazoako ny ondry aman’ osinao, ary efa nanova ny karamako im-polo ianao.
42 But that the God of my father—The God of Abraham, and the Dread of Isaac—Proved to be mine, Surely even now, empty, hadst thou let me go? My humiliation and the wearying toil of my hands, God had seen, And therefore gave sentence last night!
Raha tsy Andriamanitry ny raiko, dia Andriamanitr’ i Abrahama, Ilay natahoran’ Isaka, no nomba ahy, dia ho nampandehaninao maina tokoa aho ankehitriny. Andriamanitra efa nitsinjo ny fahoriako sy ny fisasaran’ ny tanako ka nananatra anao halina.
43 Then responded Laban and said unto Jacob—the daughters, are my daughters, And the sons, are my sons, And the sheep are my sheep, And, all that, thou, beholdest, To me doth it belong! But to my daughters, what can I do to these this day, Or to their sons whom they have borne?
Dia namaly Labana ka nanao tamin’ i Jakoba hoe: Ireo zazavavy ireo dia zanako-vavy ary ireo zazalahy ireo dia zanako-lahy; ary ireo ondry aman’ osy ireo dia ondry aman’ osiko; ary izao rehetra hitanao izao dia ahy avokoa; ary ahoana no hataoko anio amin’ ireto zanako-vavy, na amin’ ny zanany naterany?
44 Now, therefore, come on! Let us solemnise a covenant, I and thou, —So shall it be a witness betwixt me and thee.
Koa ankehitriny avia hanao fanekena isika, dia izaho sy ianao, ka aoka ho vavolombelona amiko sy aminao izany.
45 So Jacob took a stone, —and set it up as a pillar.
Dia naka vato iray Jakoba ka nanangana azy ho tsangam-bato.
46 Then said Jacob to his brethren—Gather stones. And they took stones and made a heap, —and they did eat there, by the heap.
Ary hoy Jakoba tamin’ ireo havany: Manangòna vato; dia naka vato izy, ka nataony antontany; ary dia nihinana teo anilan’ ny antontam-bato izy rehetra.
47 And Laban called it, Jegar-sahadutha, —but, Jacob, called it, Galeed.
Ary ny anaran’ ny antontam-bato dia nataon’ i Labana hoe Jegara-sahadota; fa Jakoba kosa nanao azy hoe Galeda.
48 Then said Laban: This heap, be witness betwixt me, and thee, to-day. For this cause, is the name thereof called Galeed;
Ary hoy Labana: Ity antontam-bato ity no vavolombelona amintsika anio. Izany no nanaovany ny anarany hoe Galeda.
49 also, The Watch Tower, as to which it is said, Yahweh watch betwixt me and thee, when we are parted one from another.
Ary nataony hoe Mizpa koa izy, fa hoy izy: Jehovah hitazana ahy sy ianao, rehefa tsy mifankahita isika.
50 If thou oppress my daughters, or if thou take wives besides my daughters, —there may be no man with us—see! God, be witness betwixt me, and thee!
Raha tahìny hampahory ny zanako-vavy ianao, na hanambady afa-tsy ireo zanako-vavy ireo ihany, tsy misy olona eto amintsika, fa, indro, Andriamanitra no ho vavolombelona amintsika.
51 And Laban said to Jacob—Behold this heap, and behold this pillar, which I have set betwixt me, and thee:
Ary hoy indray Labana tamin’ i Jakoba: Indro ity antontam-bato ity, ary indro ity tsangam-bato ity izay naoriko eto anelanelantsika, izaho sy ianao;
52 A witness, be this heap, and, a witness, the pillar, —That, I, am not to pass, unto thee, over this heap, And, thou, art not to pass, unto me, over this heap and this pillar for harm.
dia aoka ho vavolombelona ity antontam-bato ity, ary aoka ho vavolombelona ity tsangam-bato ity, mba tsy hihoarako ity antontam-bato ity hankany aminao, ary mba tsy hihoaranao ity antontam-bato ity sy ity tsangam-bato ity hankatỳ amiko kosa hanisy ratsy.
53 The Gods of Abraham and the Gods of Nahor judge betwixt us—the Gods of their fathers. And Jacob sware by the Dread of his father Isaac:
Ny andriamanitr’ i Abrahama sy ny andriamanitr’ i Nahora, dia ny andriamanitry ny rain’ izy mirahalahy anie hitsara antsika. Fa Ilay natahoran’ i Isaka rainy kosa no nianianan’ i Jakoba.
54 and Jacob offered sacrifice in the mountain, and called on his brethren to eat bread. So they did eat bread, and tarried the night in the mountain.
Dia namono zavatra hatao fanatitra teo an-tendrombohitra Jakoba ka nanasa ny havany mba hihinan-kanina; dia nihinana izy ka nitoetra teo an-tendrombohitra nandritra ny alina,
55 And Laban rose up early in the morning, and kissed his sons and his daughters, and blessed them: and Laban went his way and returned to his place.
Ary nifoha maraina koa Labana, dia nanoroka ny zananilahy sy ny zananivavy ka nitso-drano azy; dia lasa nandeha Labana nody any amin’ ny fonenany.
