Genesis 31
1 Jacob heard Laban’s sons’ words, saying, “Jacob has taken away all that was our father’s. He has obtained all this wealth from that which was our father’s.”
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, behold, it was not toward him as before.
Ie niisa’ Iakòbe ty vinta’ i Labàne le naheo’e te tsy niatrefa’e manahake te taolo.
3 The LORD 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 to his flock,
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 toward me as 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 Your father has deceived me, and changed my wages ten times, but God didn’t 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, ‘The speckled will be your wages,’ then all the flock bore speckled. If he said, ‘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 During mating season, I lifted up my eyes, and saw in a dream, and behold, the male goats which leaped on the flock were streaked, speckled, and grizzled.
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 behold, all the male goats which leap on the flock are streaked, speckled, and grizzled, for I have seen all that Laban does 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 pillar, where you vowed a vow to me. Now arise, get 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 considered as foreigners by him? For he has sold us, and has also used up our money.
Tsy mone atao’e te ambahiny kanao naleta’e? mbore nabotse’e iaby o lafitihi’aio.
16 For all the riches which God has taken away from our father are 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 rose up, and set 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 possessions which he had gathered, including the livestock which he had gained in Paddan Aram, to go to Isaac his father, to 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 teraphim that were her father’s.
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 deceived Laban the Syrian, in that he didn’t tell him that he was running away.
Toe nifañahie’ Iakòbe t’i Labàne t’ie tsy nitalily ama’e te nienga,
21 So he fled with all that he had. He rose up, passed over the River, and set his face toward the mountain 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 him seven days’ journey. He overtook him in the mountain 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 Syrian in a dream of the night, and said to him, “Be careful that you don’t 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 mountain, and Laban with his relatives encamped in the mountain 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, that you have deceived me, and carried away my daughters like captives of the sword?
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 secretly, and deceive me, and didn’t tell me, that I might have sent you away with mirth and with songs, with tambourine and with harp;
Ino ty nibioña’o am-pañahy naho nivokake amako tsy nitalily, ie ho nampionjoneko an-drebeke naho sabo vaho kantsàñe miharo kararàke.
28 and didn’t allow me to kiss my sons and my daughters? Now have you done foolishly.
Tsy nimea’o ty hañondrohako o ana-dahiko naho anak’ ampelakoo? Toe nanao hagegean-drehe te nanoa’o.
29 It is in the power of my hand to hurt you, but the God of your father spoke to me last night, saying, ‘Be careful that you don’t 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 want to be gone, because you greatly longed 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 said, ‘Lest you should 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. Before our relatives, discern what is yours with me, and take it.” For Jacob didn’t 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 didn’t 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 teraphim, put them in the camel’s saddle, and sat on them. Laban felt around all the tent, but didn’t 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, “Don’t let my lord be angry that I can’t rise up before you; for I’m having my period.” He searched, but didn’t 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 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 felt around in all my stuff, what have you found of all your household stuff? Set it here before my relatives and your relatives, that they may judge between us two.
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 cast 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 of animals, I didn’t bring to you. I bore its loss. Of my hand you required it, 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 This was my situation: in the day the drought consumed me, and the frost by night; and my sleep fled from my eyes.
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 fear of Isaac, had been with me, surely now you would have sent me away empty. God has seen my affliction and the labor of my hands, 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! What can I do today 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 Now come, let’s make a covenant, you and I. Let it be for a 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 for a pillar.
Aa le nandrambe vato t’Iakòbe vaho natroa’e ho ajiba.
46 Jacob said to his relatives, “Gather stones.” They took stones, and made a heap. They ate there by the heap.
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 heap is 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, “The LORD 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 afflict my daughters, or if you take wives in addition to my daughters, no man is with us; behold, 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 heap, and see the pillar, 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 heap be a witness, and the pillar be a witness, that I will not pass over this heap to you, and that you will not pass over this heap and this pillar to me, for 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 in the mountain, and called his relatives to eat bread. They ate bread, and stayed all night in 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.
