Genesis 31
1 Aftir that Jacob herde the wordis of the sones of Laban, that seiden, Jacob hath take awei alle thingis that weren oure fadris, and of his catel Jacob is maad riche, and noble.
Yakob va nya be Laban ƒe viwo nɔ liʋĩliʋĩ lĩm be, “Nu sia nu si le esi la do tso mía fofo ƒe nuwo me. Eƒe kesinɔnuwo katã tso mía fofo gbɔ.”
2 Also Jacob perseyuede the face of Laban, that it was not ayens hym as yistirdai, and the thridde dai agoon,
Yakob de dzesii be Laban megakɔa ŋkume ɖe ye o.
3 moost for the Lord seide to hym, Turne ayen into the lond of thi fadris, and to thi generacioun, and Y shal be with thee.
Yehowa ƒo nu na Yakob gblɔ be, “Trɔ nàyi fofowò ƒe anyigba dzi, nànɔ wò ƒometɔwo dome le afi ma, eye manɔ kpli wò.”
4 He sente, and clepide Rachel, and Lya, in to the feeld, where he kepte flockis, and he seide to hem,
Eya ta gbe ɖeka Yakob ɖo du ɖe Rahel kple Lea be woava kpɔ ye le alẽhawo gbɔ le gbedzi,
5 Y se the face of youre fadir, that it is not ayens me as `yisterdai and the thridde dai agoon; but God of my fadir was with me.
ale be yewoalé nya aɖewo kpɔ. Yakob gblɔ na wo be, “Mia fofo tso ɖe ŋunye, ke fofonyewo ƒe Mawu va ƒo nu nam.
6 And ye witen that with alle my strengthis Y seruede youre fadir;
Mienya ale si mewɔ dɔ sesĩe na mia fofo,
7 but and youre fadir disseyuyde me, and chaungide my meede ten sithis; and netheles God suffride not hym to anoye me.
ke mewɔ nu dzɔdzɔe ɖe ŋunye o; eda le ɖoɖo siwo míewɔ ɖe nye fetu ŋu la dzi zi geɖe. Ke Mawu meɖe mɔ nɛ be wòawɔ nuvevi aɖekem o!
8 If he seide ony tyme, Dyuerse colourid sheep schulen be thi medis, alle sheep brouyten forth dyuerse colourid lambren; forsothe whanne he seide ayenward, Thou shalte take alle white for mede, alle the flockis brouyten forth white beestis;
Elabena ne egblɔ be lã ŋɔtaŋɔtawo nanye tɔnye la, ekema lã siwo wodzi la nɔa ŋɔtaŋɔta. Esi wòtrɔ ɖoɖo la hegblɔ be lã siwo me fli to nazu tɔnyewo la, fli nɔa lãawo katã ŋuti.
9 and God took a wey the substaunce of youre fadir, and yaf to me.
Ale Mawu na mezu hotsuitɔ to mia fofo ƒe lãha si wòxɔ tsɔ nam ta.
10 For aftir that the tyme of conseyuyng of sheep cam, Y reiside myn iyen, and seiy in sleep malis dyuerse, and spotti, and of dyuerse colouris, stiynge on femalis.
“Le lãawo ƒe asiyɔɣi la, meku drɔ̃e, eye mekpɔ be gbɔ̃tsu siwo katã nɔ asi yɔm la nye lã siwo me fli to kple esiwo nɔ ŋɔtaŋɔta la.
11 And the aungel of the Lord seide to me in sleep, Jacob! and Y answeride, Y am redy.
Mawudɔla aɖe yɔm le drɔ̃ea me be, ‘Yakob,’ eye metɔ be, ‘Nyee nye esi.’
12 Which seide, Reise thin iyen, and se alle malis dyuerse, byspreynt, and spotti, stiynge on femalis; for Y seiy alle thingis whiche Laban dide to thee;
Eye wògblɔ nam be mana gbɔ̃tsu siwo me fli le kple esiwo le ŋɔtaŋɔta la nayɔ asi gbɔ̃nɔ ɣiawo.” Egblɔ be, “Elabena mekpɔ nu siwo katã Laban wɔ ɖe ŋuwò la.
13 Y am God of Bethel, where thou anoyntidist a stoon, and madist auow to me. Now therefor rise thou, and go out of this lond, and turne ayen in to the lond of thi birthe.
Nyee nye Mawu si ɖe ɖokuinye fia wò le Betel, afi si nèkɔ ami ɖe kpe dzi le, eye nèɖe adzɔgbe be yeasubɔm. Azɔ la, ele na wò be nàdzo le afi sia, eye nàyi afi si wodzi wò ɖo la.”
14 And Rachel and Lya answeriden, Wher we han ony thing residue in the catels, and eritage of oure fadir?
Rahel kple Lea ɖo eŋu be, “Nu sia nyo na mí! Naneke mele afi sia na mí o; mía fofo ƒe kesinɔnuwo dometɔ aɖeke mazu domenyinu na mí o!
15 Wher he `arettide not vs as aliens, and selde, and eet oure prijs?
Ele nuwo wɔm ɖe mía ŋu abe amedzrowo míenye ene. Etsɔ mí dzra, eye nu si wòxɔ ɖe mía ta hã megali o.
16 But God took awei the richessis of oure fadir, and yaf tho to vs, and to oure sones; wherfor do thou alle thingis whiche God hath comaundide to thee.
Le sea nu la, kesinɔnu siwo Mawu tsɔ na wò to mía fofo dzi la nye mí kple mía viwo tɔ, eya ta wɔ nu sia nu si Mawu be nàwɔ la.”
17 Forsothe Jacob roos, and puttide hise fre children and wyues on camels, and yede forth;
Yakob kɔ viawo kple srɔ̃awo ɖo kposɔwo dzi, eye wodzo.
18 and he took al his catel, flockis, and what euer thing he hadde gete in Mesopotanye, and yede to Isaac, his fadir, into the lond of Canaan.
Ke ena wokplɔ eƒe lãhawo do ŋgɔe kpe ɖe nunɔamesi siwo katã wòkpɔ le Padan Aram la ŋuti ɖo ɖe fofoa Isak le Kanaanyigba dzi.
19 In that tyme Laban yede to schere scheep, and Rachel stal the idols of hir fadir.
Esi Laban yi ɖe fu ko ge na eƒe alẽwo la, Rahel fi fofoa ƒe aklamakpakpɛwo tsɔ dzoe.
20 And Jacob nolde knouleche to the fadir of his wijf, that he wolde fle;
Gawu la, Yakob flu Laban, Arameatɔ la, eye meklãe hafi dzo o.
21 and whanne he hadde go, as wel he as alle thingis that weren of his riyt, and whanne he hadde passid the water, and he yede ayens the hil of Galaad,
Ale wòsi kple eƒe nunɔamesiwo katã. Esi wòtso Frat tɔsisi la, eɖo ta Gilead ƒe tonyigbawo dzi.
22 it was teld to Laban, in the thridde dai, that Jacob fledde.
Ŋkeke etɔ̃ va yi hafi Laban nya nu tso Yakob ƒe sisi ŋu.
23 And Laban took his britheren, and pursuede hym seuene daies, and took hym in the hil of Galaad.
Ekplɔ ame aɖewo ɖe asi, eye wodze eyome kple du heva tui le ŋkeke adre megbe le Gilead to la gbɔ.
24 And Laban seiy in sleep the Lord seiynge to him, Be war that thou speke not ony thing sharpli ayens Jacob.
Gbe ma gbe la, Mawu ɖe eɖokui fia Laban Arameatɔ le drɔ̃e me, eye wògblɔ nɛ be, “Kpɔ nyuie le nu si nàgblɔ na Yakob la ŋuti. Mègayrae o, eye mègaƒo fi dee hã o.”
25 And thanne Jacob hadde stretchid forth the tabernacle in the hil; and whanne he hadde sued Jacob with his britheren, `he settide tente in the same hil of Galaad; and he seide to Jacob,
Laban va tu Yakob esime Yakob tu agbadɔ ɖe Gilead to la dzi. Laban hã tu eƒe agbadɔ ɖe to la te.
26 Whi hast thou do so, that the while I wiste not thou woldist dryue awey my douytris as caitifs by swerd?
Laban bia Yakob be, “Nu kae nye esi nèwɔ hesi dzo le adzame ale? Ɖe vinyenyɔnuwo nye aboyome siwo wolé le aʋa me, eya ta nèkplɔ wo si dzoe alea?
27 Whi woldist thou fle the while Y wiste not, nether woldist shewe to me, that Y shulde sue thee with ioie, and songis, and tympans, and harpis?
Nu ka ta mèna mɔnukpɔkpɔm be maɖo kplɔ̃ na mi, eye hadzidzi, ʋuƒoƒo kple kasaŋkuƒoƒo nanɔ anyi o ɖo?
28 Thou suffridist not that Y schulde kisse my sones and douytris; thou hast wrouyt folili.
Nu ka ta mèna megbugbɔ nu na nye tɔgbuiyɔviwo hedo hedenyui na wo o ɖo? Nu sia nye nu trama aɖe si nèwɔ.
29 And now sotheli myn hond mai yelde yuel to thee, but the God of thi fadir seide to me yisterdai, Be war that thou speke not ony harder thing with Jacob.
Mate ŋu awɔ nuvevi wò hafi, gake fofowò ƒe Mawu la ɖe eɖokui fiam le zã si va yi la me, eye wògblɔ nam be, ‘Kpɔ nyuie be màklẽ ŋku ade Yakob o.’
30 Suppose, if thou coueitedist to go to thi kynesmen, and the hows of thi fadir was in desir to thee, whi hast thou stole my goddis?
Ke esi nèkpɔ be ele be yeadzo, eye aƒe nɔ dzrowòm vevie nenema ɖe, nu ka ta nèfi nye aklamakpakpɛwo dzoe ɖo?”
31 Jacob answeride, That Y yede forth while thou wistist not, Y dredde lest thou woldist take awey thi douytris violentli;
Yakob ɖo eŋu na Laban be, “Mesi dzo, elabena menɔ vɔvɔ̃m. Megblɔ na ɖokuinye be, ‘Àva xɔ viwò nyɔnuwo le asinye sesẽtɔe.’
32 sotheli that thou repreuest me of thefte, at whom euer thou fyndist thi goddis, be he slayn bifor oure britheren; seke thou, what euer thing of thine thou fyndist at me, and take awei. Jacob seide these thingis, and wiste not that Rachel stal the idols.
Ke le wò aklamakpakpɛwo gome la, woaƒo fi ade ame si fi wo la, eye wòaku! Ka nye nuwo katã me le mía nɔviawo ƒe ŋkume kpɔ be wò nane le wo me mahã. Ne èkpɔ wò nane si mefi dzoe la, ekema tsɔe.” Ke Yakob menya be Rahel fi aklamakpakpɛawo o.
33 And so Laban entride into the tabernacle of Jacob, and of Lya, and of euer eithir meyne, and foond not; and whanne Laban hadde entrid in to the tente of Rachel,
Laban yi ɖaka Yakob ƒe agbadɔ me gbã; emegbe eyi ɖaka Lea kple kosi eveawo ƒe agbadɔ me, gake mekpɔ aklamakpakpɛawo o. Esia megbe la, eyi ɖaka Rahel tɔ me azɔ.
34 sche hastide, and hidde the idols vndur the strewyngis of the camel, and sat aboue. And sche seide to Laban, sekynge al the tente and fyndynge no thing,
Rahel nye ame si fi aklamakpakpɛawo. Etsɔ wo ɣla ɖe eƒe kposɔ ƒe akpa te, eye wònɔ anyi ɖe wo dzi. Togbɔ be Laban ka agbadɔawo me abe ale si wòate ŋui ene hã la, mete ŋu kpɔ aklamakpakpɛawo o.
35 My lord, be not wrooth that Y may not rise bifore thee, for it bifelde now to me bi the custom of wymmen; so the bisynesse of the sekere was scorned.
Rahel gblɔ na fofoa be, “Papa, tsɔe kem be nyemate ŋu atsi tsitre o, elabena mekpɔ dzinu.”
36 And Jacob bolnyde, and seide with strijf, For what cause of me, and for what synne of me, hast thou come so fersly aftir me,
Yakob do dɔmedzoe ɖe Laban ŋu, eye wòbiae be, “Nu vɔ̃ ka mewɔ? Vo ka meda si ta nànɔ fu ɖem nam ale?
37 and hast souyt al `the portenaunce of myn hous? What `hast thou founde of al the catel of thin hows? Putte thou here bifore my britheren and thi britheren, and deme thei betwixe me and thee.
Azɔ esi nèka nye nuwo katã me ɖe, nu ka nèkpɔ si nye tɔwò? Tsɔe da ɖe wò ƒometɔwo kple tɔnyewo ŋkume, eye nàna woadrɔ̃ ʋɔnu le nye kpli wò dome.
38 Was I with thee herfore twenti yeer? Thi sheep and geet weren not bareyn, Y eet not the rammes of thi flok,
“Menɔ gbɔwò ƒe blaeve sɔŋ. Le ɣeyiɣi ma katã me la, mekpɔ wò alẽnɔwo kple gbɔ̃nɔwo dzi, ale be wodzi vi lãmesesẽtɔwo na wò, eye nyemewu wò agbo ɖeka pɛ gɔ̃ hã ɖa ɖu o.
39 nether Y schewide to thee ony thing takun of a beeste; Y yeldide al harm; what euer thing perischide bi thefte, thou axidist of me;
Ne lã wɔadãwo wu ɖewo la, ɖe metsɔa wo fiaa wò be nàɖe wo tso wò lãwo domea? Ao, meɖoa eteƒe na wò. Èna mexe fe ɖe wò lã ɖe sia ɖe si wofi tso wò lãhawo me la ta, eɖanye nye vodada, alo menye nye vodada o!
40 Y was angwischid in dai and nyyt with heete and frost, and sleep fledde fro myn iyen;
“Mewɔ dɔ na wò, ŋdɔkutsu ɖum le ŋkeke me, eye vuvɔ wɔm le zã me, eye nyemedɔa alɔ̃ o.
41 so Y seruede thee bi twenti yeer in thin hows, fourtene yeer for thi douytris, and sixe yeer for thi flockis; and thou chaungidist my mede ten sithis.
Ɛ̃, mewɔ dɔ na wò ƒe blaeve sɔŋ: ƒe wuiene be mate ŋu aɖe viwò nyɔnu eve, ƒe ade be lãha sia naka asinye! Gawu la, èɖe nye fetu dzi zi ewo.
42 If God of my fadir Abraham, and the drede of Isaac hadde not helpid me, perauenture now thou haddist left me nakid; the Lord bihelde my turmentyng and the traueyl of myn hondis, and repreuyde thee yistirdai.
Nyateƒe, ne menye tɔgbuinye Abraham ƒe Mawu kple fofonye Isak ƒe Mawu ƒe amenuveve tae o la, anye ne èdo mɔm asi ƒuƒlu, pesewa ɖeka pɛ gɔ̃ hã manɔ asinye o! Ke Mawu kpɔ wò ŋutasesẽ kple nye nuteƒewɔwɔ, eya ta wòɖe eɖokui fia wò le zã si va yi me.”
43 Laban answeride hym, The douytris, and thi sones, and flockis, and alle thingis whiche thou seest, ben myne, what mai Y do to my sones, and to the sones of sones?
Laban ɖo eŋu na Yakob be, “Vinyewoe nye nyɔnu siawo; ɖevi siawo hã tɔnyewoe. Lãha siawo kple nu siwo katã le asiwò la, tɔnyee wonye, eya ta nu ka ta mawɔ nuvevi nye ŋutɔ vinyewo kple nye tɔgbuiyɔviwo ɖo?
44 Therfor come thou, and make we boond of pees, that it be witnessyng bitwixe me, and thee.
Na míabla ŋutifafanu kple mía nɔewo, eye mía dometɔ ɖe sia ɖe nazɔ ɖe nubabla sia ƒe ɖoɖowo dzi.”
45 And so Jacob took a stoon, and reiside it in to a signe, and seide to hise britheren,
Ale Yakob ɖi kpe aɖe abe ŋkuɖodzikpe ene,
46 Brynge ye stoonus; whiche gadriden, and maden an heep, and eten on it.
eye wògblɔ na eƒe amewo be woafɔ kpewo ali kɔ ɖe kpe la dzi. Emegbe Yakob kple Laban ɖu nu ɖekae le kpeawo gbɔ.
47 And Laban clepide it the heep of wittnesse, and Jacob clepide it the heep of witnessyng; euer eithir clepide bi the proprete of his langage.
Laban yɔe be Yegar Sahaduta, eye Yakob yɔe be Galed.
48 And Laban seide, This heep schal be witnesse bytwixe me and thee to day, and herfor the name therof was clepid Galaad, that is, the heep of witnesse.
Laban gblɔ be, “Kpoƒuƒu sia nye ɖasefo le nye kpli wò dome egbea.” Eya ta woyɔe be Galed.
49 And Laban addide, The Lord biholde, and deme bitwixe vs, whanne we schulen go awei fro yow;
Eya ta woyɔe hã be “Mizpa” si gɔmee nye “Nuŋudzɔla,” elabena Laban gblɔ be, “Aƒetɔ la nakpɔ egbɔ be ne míegale mía nɔewo gbɔ o hã la, míazɔ ɖe nubabla sia dzi.
50 if thou schalt turmente my douytris, and if thou schal brynge yn othere wyues on hem, noon is witnesse of oure word, outakun God, whiche is present, and biholdith.
Kpe ɖe esia ŋu la, ne èwɔ fu vinyewo alo ègaɖe srɔ̃ bubuwo la, nyemanya o, gake Mawu ya akpɔe.”
51 And eft he seide to Jacob, Lo! this heep, and stoon, whiche Y reiside bitwixe me and thee, schal be witnesse;
Laban gblɔ na Yakob be, “Kpekɔ sia le afi sia, eye sɔti sia si metu ɖe nye kpli wò dome la hã le afi sia.
52 sotheli this heep, and stoon be in to witnessyng, forsothe if Y schal passe it, and go to thee, ether thou shalt passe, and thenke yuel to me.
Kpekɔ sia nye ɖasefo, eye sɔti sia hã nye ɖasefo be nyemava to kpekɔ sia ŋu be mava wò akpa dzi ava wɔ nuvevi aɖeke wò o, eye be wò hã màto kpekɔ kple sɔti sia ŋu ava nye akpa dzi be nàva wɔ nuvevi aɖekem o.
53 God of Abraham, and God of Nachor, God of the fadir of hem, deme bitwixe vs. Therfor Jacob swoor by the drede of his fadir Ysaac;
Meyɔ Abraham kple Nahor kpakple wo fofowo ƒe Mawu la be wòatsrɔ̃ mía dometɔ si mawɔ nubabla sia ƒe ɖoɖowo dzi o la.” Ale Yakob ka atam le fofoa Isak ƒe Mawu, Ŋusẽkatãtɔ la ŋkume be yealé ŋku ɖe liƒo la ŋu.
54 and whanne slayn sacrifices weren offrid in the hil, he clepyde his britheren to ete breed, and whanne thei hadden ete, thei dwelliden there.
Tete Yakob sa vɔ na Mawu le to la tame, eye wòɖo kplɔ̃ na eƒe amewo. Etsi wo gbɔ dɔ le to la dzi.
55 Forsothe Laban roos bi nyyt, and kisside his sones, and douytris, and blesside hem, and turnede ayen in to his place.
Laban fɔ ŋdi kanya, gbugbɔ nu na viawo kple eƒe tɔgbuiyɔviawo, yra wo, eye wòtrɔ yi wo de.
