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.

Basi Yakobo akasikia maneno ya wana wa Labani, wakisema, “Yakobo amechukuwa yote yaliyokuwa ya baba yetu, na ni kutoka katika mali ya baba yetu amepata utajiri wake.”

2 Also Jacob perseyuede the face of Laban, that it was not ayens hym as yistirdai, and the thridde dai agoon,

Yakobo akaona mwonekano katika uso wa Labani. Akaona kwamba nia yake imebadilika.

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.

Kisha Yahwe akamwambia Yakobo, “Rudi katika nchi ya baba zako na ya ndugu zako, nami nitakuwa nawe.”

4 He sente, and clepide Rachel, and Lya, in to the feeld, where he kepte flockis, and he seide to hem,

Yakobo akatuma kuwaita Raheli na Lea uwandani katika kundi lake la kondoo

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.

naye akawambia, “Naona nia ya baba yenu kwangu imebadilika, lakini Mungu wa baba yangu amekuwa nami.

6 And ye witen that with alle my strengthis Y seruede youre fadir;

Nanyi mnajua kwamba ni kwa nguvu zangu zote nimemtumikia baba yenu.

7 but and youre fadir disseyuyde me, and chaungide my meede ten sithis; and netheles God suffride not hym to anoye me.

Baba yenu amenidanganya na amebadilisha ujira wangu mara kumi, lakini Mungu hakumruhusu kunidhuru.

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;

Ikiwa alisema, 'Wanyama wenye mabaka watakuwa ujira wako,' ndipo kondoo wote walipozaa watoto wenye mabaka. Na aliposema, wenye milia watakuwa ujira wako,' ndipo kundi lote lilipozaa watoto wenye milia.

9 and God took a wey the substaunce of youre fadir, and yaf to me.

Kwa njia hii Mungu amemnyang'anya mifugo baba yenu na kunipa mimi.

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.

Wakati fulani wa majira ya kupandana, niliona katika ndoto mabeberu yaliyowapanda kundi. Mabeberu yalikuwa ya milia, mabaka na madoa.

11 And the aungel of the Lord seide to me in sleep, Jacob! and Y answeride, Y am redy.

Malaika wa Mungu akaniambia katika ndoto, 'Yakobo.' Nikasema, 'Mimi hapa.'

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;

Akasema, 'Inua macho yako uone mabeberu wanaolipanda kundi. Wana milia, madoa na na mabaka, kwani nimeona kila jambo Labani analokutendea.

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.

Mimi ni Mungu wa Betheli, mahali ulipoitia nguzo mafuta, mahali uliponitolea nadhiri. Basi sasa inuka na uondoke katika nchi hii na kurudi katika nchi uliyozaliwa.

14 And Rachel and Lya answeriden, Wher we han ony thing residue in the catels, and eritage of oure fadir?

Raheli na Lea wakajibu na kumwambia, “Je kuna sehemu yoyote au urithi wetu katika nyumba ya baba yetu?

15 Wher he `arettide not vs as aliens, and selde, and eet oure prijs?

Je hatutendei kama wageni? Kwa maana ametuuza na kwa ujumla ametapanya pesa zetu.

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.

Mali zote ambazo sasa Mungu amemnyang'anya baba yetu ni zetu na watoto wetu. Sasa basi, lolote Mungu alilokuambia, fanya.

17 Forsothe Jacob roos, and puttide hise fre children and wyues on camels, and yede forth;

Kisha Yakobo akainuka na kuwapandisha wanawe na wakeze kwenye ngamia.

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.

Akawaongoza mifugo wake wote mbele yake, pamoja na mali zake zote, wakiwemo wanyama aliowapata huko Padani Aramu. Kisha akaenda kuelekea kwa Isaka baba yake katika nchi ya Kanaani.

19 In that tyme Laban yede to schere scheep, and Rachel stal the idols of hir fadir.

Labani alipokuwa amekwenda kuwakata manyoya kondoo wake, Raheli akaiba miungu ya nyumba ya baba yake.

20 And Jacob nolde knouleche to the fadir of his wijf, that he wolde fle;

Yakobo pia akamdanganya Labani Mwarami, kwa kutomtaarifu kwamba anaondoka.

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,

Hivyo akaondoka na vyote alivyokuwa navyo na kwa haraka akavuka mto, na akaenda kuelekea nchi ya vilima ya Gileadi.

22 it was teld to Laban, in the thridde dai, that Jacob fledde.

Siku ya tatu Labani akaambiwa kwamba Yakobo amekimbia.

23 And Laban took his britheren, and pursuede hym seuene daies, and took hym in the hil of Galaad.

Hivyo akawachukua ndugu zake pamoja naye na kumfuatia kwa safari ya siku saba. Akampata katika nchi ya vilima ya Gileadi.

24 And Laban seiy in sleep the Lord seiynge to him, Be war that thou speke not ony thing sharpli ayens Jacob.

Basi Mungu akaja kwa Labani Mwarami katika ndoto usiku na kumwambia, “Ujiadhari kumwambia Yakobo jambo lolote liwe jema au baya.”

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,

Labani akampata Yakobo. Basi Yakobo alikuwa amepiga hema yake katika nchi ya vilima. Labani pia akapiga kambi pamoja na ndugu zake katika nchi ya kilima ya Gileadi.

26 Whi hast thou do so, that the while I wiste not thou woldist dryue awey my douytris as caitifs by swerd?

Labani akamwambia Yakobo, “Umefanya nini, kwamba umewachukua binti zangu kama mateka wa vita?

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?

Kwa nini umekimbia kwa siri na kunihadaa kwa kutokuniambia? Ningekuruhusu uondoke kwa sherehe na kwa nyimbo, kwa matari na vinubi.

28 Thou suffridist not that Y schulde kisse my sones and douytris; thou hast wrouyt folili.

Haukuniacha niwabusu wajukuu wangu na binti zangu kwa kuwaaga. Basi umefanya upumbavu.

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.

Iko katika uwezo wangu kukudhuru, lakini Mungu wa baba yako alisema nami usiku wa leo na kuniambia, 'Jiadhari usimwambie Yakobo neno la heri wala shari.'

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?

Na sasa, umeondoka kwa sababu umeitamani sana nyumba ya baba yako. Lakini kwa nini umeiba miungu yangu?

31 Jacob answeride, That Y yede forth while thou wistist not, Y dredde lest thou woldist take awey thi douytris violentli;

Yakobo akajibu na kumwambia Labani, “Ni kwa sababu niliogopa na kudhani kuwa ungeninyang'anya binti zako kwa nguvu ndiyo maana nikaondoka kwa siri.

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.

Yeyote aliyeiiba miungu yako hataendelea kuishi. Mbele ya ndugu zetu, onesha chochote kilichochako nilichonacho na uchukue.” Kwa maana Yakobo hakujua kwamba Raheli alikuwa ameviiba.

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,

Labani akaingia katika hema ya Yakobo, katika hema ya Lea, na katika hema za wale wajakazi wawili, lakini hakuviona. Akatoka katika hema ya Lea na kuingia katika hema ya Raheli.

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,

Basi Raheli alikuwa ameichukua miungu ya nyumbani, na kuiweka katika ngozi ya ngamia, na kukaa juu yake. Labani akatafuta katika hema yote, lakini hakuiona.

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.

Akamwambia baba yake, “Usikasirike, bwana wangu, kwamba siwezi kusimama mbele yako, kwani nipo katika kipindi changu.” Hivyo akatafuta lakini hakuiona miungu ya nyumbani mwake.

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,

Yakobo akakasirika na kuojiana na Labani. Akamwambia, “Kosa langu ni nini? Dhambi yangu ni ipi, hata ukanifuatia kwa ukali?

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.

Kwa maana umechunguza mali zangu zote. Umeona nini kati ya kitu chochote cha nyumbani mwako? Viweke hapa mbele ya ndugu zetu, ili waamue kati yetu wawili.

38 Was I with thee herfore twenti yeer? Thi sheep and geet weren not bareyn, Y eet not the rammes of thi flok,

Kwa miaka ishirini nimekuwa nawe. Kondoo wako na mbuzi wako hawakutoa mimba, wala sikula dume lolote la kondoo katika wanyama wako.

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;

Kilichoraruliwa na hayawani sikukuletea. Badala yake, nilichukua upotevu huo, kwamba wameibwa mchana au usiku.

40 Y was angwischid in dai and nyyt with heete and frost, and sleep fledde fro myn iyen;

Nilikuwepo wakati wote; mchana joto lilinipata, na baridi wakati wa usiku; na sikupata usingizi.

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.

Miaka hii ishirini nimekuwa katika nyumba yako. Nilikufanyia kazi miaka kumi na nne kwa ajili ya binti zako wawili, na miaka sita kwa ajili ya wanyama wako. Umebadili ujira wangu mara kumi.

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.

Isipokuwa Mungu wa baba yangu, Mungu wa Ibrahimu, yule Isaka anayemwofu, amekuwa nami, bila shaka sasa ungenipeleka mikono mitupu. Mungu ameliona teso langu na jinsi nilivyofanya kazi kwa bidii, na hivyo akakukemea usiku wa leo.

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?

Labani akajibu na kumwambia Yakobo, “Mabinti hawa ni mabinti zangu, wajukuu ni wajukuu wangu, na wanyama ni wanyama wangu. Yote uyaonayo ni yangu. Lakini nitafanya nini leo kwa hawa binti zangu, au kwa watoto wao waliowazaa?

44 Therfor come thou, and make we boond of pees, that it be witnessyng bitwixe me, and thee.

Hivyo sasa, na tufanye agano, wewe nami, na liwe shahidi kati yangu nawe.”

45 And so Jacob took a stoon, and reiside it in to a signe, and seide to hise britheren,

Hivyo Yakobo akachukua jiwe na kuliweka kama nguzo.

46 Brynge ye stoonus; whiche gadriden, and maden an heep, and eten on it.

Yakobo akawambia ndugu zake, “Kusanyeni mawe.” Hivyo wakachukua mawe na kufanya rundo. Kisha wakala pale kati ya lile rundo.

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.

Labani aliliita Yega Saha Dutha, lakini Yakobo akaiita Galeedi

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.

Labani akasema, “Rundo hili ni shahidi kati yangu nawe leo.” Kwa hiyo jina lake likaitwa Galedi.

49 And Laban addide, The Lord biholde, and deme bitwixe vs, whanne we schulen go awei fro yow;

Inaitwa pia Mispa, kwa sababu Labani alisema, “Yahwe na atuangalie mimi nawe, tunapokuwa hatuonani.

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.

Ikiwa utawatesa binti zangu, au ikiwa utachukua wanawake wengine mbali na binti zangu, japokuwa hakuna mwingine yupo nasi, tazama, Mungu ni shahidi kati yangu nawe.”

51 And eft he seide to Jacob, Lo! this heep, and stoon, whiche Y reiside bitwixe me and thee, schal be witnesse;

Labani akamwambia Yakobo, Tazama rundo hili, na tazama nguzo, nililoliweka kati yako nami.

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.

Rundo hili ni shahidi, na nguzo ni shahidi, kwamba sitapita rundo hili kuja kwako, na kwamba wewe hautapita rundo hili kuja kwangu, kwa madhara.

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;

Mungu wa Ibrahimu, na mungu wa Nahori, miungu ya baba zao, waamue kati yetu.”Yakobo akaapa kwa Hofu ya Isaka baba yake.

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.

Yakobo akatoa sadaka juu ya mlima na akawaita ndugu zake kula chakula. Walikula na kukaa usiku kucha juu ya mlima.

55 Forsothe Laban roos bi nyyt, and kisside his sones, and douytris, and blesside hem, and turnede ayen in to his place.

Labani akaamka asubuhi na mapema, akawabusu wajuu zake na binti zake na kuwabariki. Kisha Labani akaondoka na kurudi kwake.
