Genesis 31

1 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.

And Jacob heard the words of the sons of Laban, saying, Jacob has taken all that was our father's, and of our father's property has he gotten all this glory.

2 And he saw Jacob [the] face of Laban and there! not [was] he with him as yesterday three days ago.

And Jacob saw the countenance of Laban, and behold it was not toward him as before.

3 And he said Yahweh to Jacob return to [the] land of fathers your and to kindred your so I may be with you.

And the Lord said to Jacob, Return to the land of your father, and to your family, and I will be with you.

4 And he sent Jacob and he summoned Rachel and Leah the field to flock his.

And Jacob sent and called Lea and Rachel to the plain where the flocks were.

5 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.

And he said to them, I see the face of your father, that it is not toward me as before, but the God of my father was with me.

6 And you you know that with all strength my I have served father your.

And you too know that with all my might I have served your father.

7 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.

But your father deceived me, and changed my wages for the ten lambs, yet God gave him not [power] to hurt me.

8 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].

If he should say thus, The speckled shall be your reward, then all the cattle would bear speckled; and if he should say, The white shall be your reward, then would all the cattle bear white.

9 And he has taken away God [the] livestock of father your and he has given [it] to me.

So God has taken away all the cattle of your father, and given them to me.

10 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.

And it came to pass when the cattle conceived and were with young, that I saw with mine eyes in sleep, and behold the he-goats and the rams leaping on the sheep and the she-goats, speckled and variegated and spotted with ash-colored spots.

11 And he said to me [the] angel of God in a dream O Jacob and I said here [am] I.

And the angel of God said to me in a dream, Jacob; and I said, What is it?

12 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.

And he said, Look up with your eyes, and behold the he-goats and the rams leaping on the sheep and the she-goats, speckled and variegated and spotted with ash-colored spots; for I have seen all things that Laban does to you.

13 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.

I am God that appeared to you in the place of God where you anointed a pillar to me, and vowed to me there a vow; now then arise and depart out of this land, depart into the land of your nativity, and I will be with you.

14 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.

And Rachel and Lea answered and said to him, Have we yet a part or inheritance in the house of our father?

15 ¿ Not foreigners are we accounted by him for he has sold us and he has consumed also continuously money our.

Are we not considered strangers by him? for he has sold us, and quite devoured our money.

16 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.

All the wealth and the glory which God has taken from our father, it shall be our's and our children's; now then do whatever God has said to you.

17 And he arose Jacob and he lifted up children his and wives his on camels.

And Jacob arose and took his wives and his children up on the camels;

18 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.

and he took away all his possessions and all his store, which he had gotten in Mesopotamia, and all that belonged to him, to depart to Isaac his father in the land of Chanaan.

19 And Laban he had gone to shear sheep his and she stole Rachel the teraphim which [belonged] to father her.

And Laban went to shear his sheep; and Rachel stole her father's images.

20 And he stole Jacob [the] heart of Laban the Aramean on not he told to him that [was] fleeing he.

And Jacob hid [the matter from] Laban the Syrian, so as not to tell him that he ran away.

21 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 departed himself and all that belonged to him, and passed over the river, and went into the mountain Galaad.

22 And it was told to Laban on the day third that he had fled Jacob.

But it was told Laban the Syrian on the third day, that Jacob was fled.

23 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.

And having taken his brethren with him, he pursued after him seven days' journey, and overtook him on Mount Galaad.

24 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 God came to Laban the Syrian in sleep by night, and said to him, Take heed to yourself that you speak not at any time to Jacob evil things.

25 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.

And Laban overtook Jacob; and Jacob pitched his tent in the mountain; and Laban stationed his brothers in the mount Galaad.

26 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.

And Laban said to Jacob, What have you done? therefore did you run away secretly, and pillage me, and lead away my daughters as captives taken with the sword?

27 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.

Whereas if you had told me, I would have sent you away with mirth, and with songs, and timbrels, and harp.

28 And not did you allow? me to kiss sons my and daughters my now you have behaved foolishly to do.

And I was not counted worthy to embrace my children and my daughters; now then you have wrought foolishly.

29 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.

And now my hand has power to hurt you; but the God of your father spoke to me yesterday, saying, Take heed to yourself that you speak not evil words to Jacob.

30 And now certainly you have gone for certainly you longed for [the] household of father your why? did you steal gods my.

Now then go on your way, for you have earnestly desired to depart to the house of your father; therefore have you stolen my gods?

31 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.

And Jacob answered and said to Laban, Because I was afraid; for I said, Lest at any time you should take away your daughters from me, and all my possessions.

32 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.

And Jacob said, With whoever you shall find your gods, he shall not live in the presence of our brethren; take notice of what I have of your property, and take it; and he observed nothing with him, but Jacob knew not that his wife Rachel had stolen them.

33 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.

And Laban went in and searched in the house of Lea, and found [them] not; and he went out of the house of Lea, and searched in the house of Jacob, and in the house of the two maidservants, and found them not; and he went also into the house of Rachel.

34 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].

And Rachel took the idols, and cast them among the camel's packs, and sat upon them.

35 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.

And she said to her father, Be not indignant, Sir; I can’t rise up before you, for it is with me according to the manner of women. Laban searched in all the house, and found not the images.

36 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.

And Jacob was angry, and strove with Laban; and Jacob answered and said to Laban, What is my injustice, and what my sin, that you have pursued after me,

37 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.

and that you have searched all the furniture of my house? what have you found of all the furniture of your house? set it here between your relations and my relations, and let them decide between us two.

38 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.

These twenty years have I been with you; your sheep, and your she-goats have not failed in bearing; I devoured not the rams of your cattle.

39 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.

That which was taken of beasts I brought not to you; I made good of myself the thefts of the day, and the thefts of the night.

40 I was in the day it consumed me heat and frost in the night and it fled sleep my from eyes my.

I was parched with heat by day, and [chilled] with frost by night, and my sleep departed from my eyes.

41 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.

These twenty years have I been in your house; I served you fourteen years for your two daughters, and six years among your sheep, and you did falsely rate my wages for ten lambs.

42 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.

Unless I had the God of my father Abraam, and the fear of Isaac, now you would have sent me away empty; God saw my humiliation, and the labor of my hands, and rebuked you yesterday.

43 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.

And Laban answered and said to Jacob, The daughters are my daughters, and the sons my sons, and the cattle are my cattle, and all things which you see are mine, and [the property] of my daughters; what shall I do to them today, or their children which they bore?

44 And therefore come! let us make a covenant I and you and it will become a witness between me and between you.

Now then come, let me make a covenant, both I and you, and it shall be for a witness between me and you; and he said to him, Behold, there is no one with us; behold, God is witness between me and you.

45 And he took Jacob a stone and he raised up it a pillar.

And Jacob having taken a stone, set it up for a pillar.

46 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.

And Jacob said to his brethren, Gather stones; and they gathered stones and made a heap, and ate there upon the heap; and Laban said to him, This heap witnesses between me and you today.

47 And he called it Laban Jegar Sahadutha and Jacob he called it Galeed.

And Laban called it, the Heap of Testimony; and Jacob called it, the Witness Heap.

48 And he said Laban the heap this [is] a witness between me and between you this day there-fore (he called *LA(bh)*) name its Galeed.

And Laban said to Jacob, Behold this heap, and the pillar, which I have set between me and you; this heap witnesses, and this pillar witnesses; therefore its name was called, the Heap witnesses.

49 And Mizpah that he said may he keep watch Yahweh between me and between you for we will be hidden each from neighbor his.

And the vision of which he said—Let God look to it between me and you, because we are about to depart from each other, —

50 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.

If you shall humble my daughters, if you should take wives in addition to my daughters, see, there is no one with us looking on. God [is] witness between me and you.

51 And he said Laban to Jacob here! - the heap this and here! the pillar which I have set up between me and between you.

And Laban said to Jacob, Behold, this heap, and this pillar are a witness.

52 [is] a witness The heap this and [is] a witness the pillar if I not I will pass beyond to you the heap this and if you not you will pass beyond to me the heap this and the pillar this for harm.

For if I should not cross over to you, neither should you cross over to me, for mischief beyond this heap and this pillar.

53 [the] God of Abraham and [the] God of Nahor may they judge between us [the] God of father their and he swore Jacob by [the] fear of father his Isaac.

The God of Abraam and the God of Nachor judge between us; and Jacob swore by the Fear of his father Isaac.

54 And he sacrificed Jacob a sacrifice in the hill country and he invited relatives his to eat food and they ate food and they stayed [the] night in the hill country.

And he offered a sacrifice in the mountain, and called his brethren, and they ate and drank, and slept in the mountain.

55 And he rose early Laban in the morning and he kissed sons his and daughters his and he blessed them and he went and he returned Laban to own place his.

And Laban rose up in the morning, and kissed his sons and his daughters, and blessed them; and Laban having turned back, departed to his place.
