Genesis 31
1 And he heareth the words of Laban's sons, saying, 'Jacob hath taken all that our father hath; yea, from that which our father hath, he hath made all this honour;'
雅各听见拉班的儿子们有话说：“雅各把我们父亲所有的都夺了去，并借着我们父亲的，得了这一切的荣耀。”
2 and Jacob seeth the face of Laban, and lo, it is not with him as heretofore.
雅各见拉班的气色向他不如从前了。
3 And Jehovah saith unto Jacob, 'Turn back unto the land of thy fathers, and to thy kindred, and I am with thee.'
耶和华对雅各说：“你要回你祖、你父之地，到你亲族那里去，我必与你同在。”
4 And Jacob sendeth and calleth for Rachel and for Leah to the field unto his flock;
雅各就打发人，叫拉结和利亚到田野羊群那里来，
5 and saith to them, 'I am beholding your father's face — that it is not towards me as heretofore, and the God of my father hath been with me,
对她们说：“我看你们父亲的气色向我不如从前了；但我父亲的 神向来与我同在。
6 and ye — ye have known that with all my power I have served your father,
你们也知道，我尽了我的力量服事你们的父亲。
7 and your father hath played upon me, and hath changed my hire ten times; and God hath not suffered him to do evil with me.
你们的父亲欺哄我，十次改了我的工价；然而 神不容他害我。
8 'If he say thus: The speckled are thy hire, then bare all the flock speckled ones; and if he say thus: The ring-streaked are thy hire, then bare all the flock ring-streaked;
他若说：‘有点的归你作工价’，羊群所生的都有点；他若说：‘有纹的归你作工价’，羊群所生的都有纹。
9 and God taketh away the substance of your father, and doth give to me.
这样， 神把你们父亲的牲畜夺来赐给我了。
10 'And it cometh to pass at the time of the flock conceiving, that I lift up mine eyes and see in a dream, and lo, the he-goats, which are going up on the flock, [are] ring-streaked, speckled, and grisled;
羊配合的时候，我梦中举目一看，见跳母羊的公羊都是有纹的、有点的、有花斑的。
11 and the messenger of God saith unto me in the dream, Jacob, and I say, Here [am] I.
神的使者在那梦中呼叫我说：‘雅各。’我说：‘我在这里。’
12 'And He saith, Lift up, I pray thee, thine eyes, and see — all the he-goats which are going up on the flock [are] ring-streaked, speckled, and grisled, for I have seen all that Laban is doing to thee;
他说：‘你举目观看，跳母羊的公羊都是有纹的、有点的、有花斑的；凡拉班向你所做的，我都看见了。
13 I [am] the God of Bethel where thou hast anointed a standing pillar, where thou hast vowed a vow to me; now, arise, go out from this land, and turn back unto the land of thy birth.'
我是伯特利的 神；你在那里用油浇过柱子，向我许过愿。现今你起来，离开这地，回你本地去吧！’”
14 And Rachel answereth — Leah also — and saith to him, 'Have we yet a portion and inheritance in the house of our father?
拉结和利亚回答雅各说：“在我们父亲的家里还有我们可得的分吗？还有我们的产业吗？
15 have we not been reckoned strangers to him? for he hath sold us, and he also utterly consumeth our money;
我们不是被他当作外人吗？因为他卖了我们，吞了我们的价值。
16 for all the wealth which God hath taken away from our father, it [is] ours, and our children's; and now, all that God hath said unto thee — do.'
神从我们父亲所夺出来的一切财物，那就是我们和我们孩子们的。现今凡 神所吩咐你的，你只管去行吧！”
17 And Jacob riseth, and lifteth up his sons and his wives on the camels,
雅各起来，使他的儿子和妻子都骑上骆驼，
18 and leadeth all his cattle, and all his substance which he hath acquired, the cattle of his getting, which he hath acquired in Padan-Aram, to go unto Isaac his father, to the land of Canaan.
又带着他在巴旦·亚兰所得的一切牲畜和财物，往迦南地、他父亲以撒那里去了。
19 And Laban hath gone to shear his flock, and Rachel stealeth the teraphim which her father hath;
当时拉班剪羊毛去了，拉结偷了他父亲家中的神像。
20 and Jacob deceiveth the heart of Laban the Aramaean, because he hath not declared to him that he is fleeing;
雅各背着亚兰人拉班偷走了，并不告诉他，
21 and he fleeth, he and all that he hath, and riseth, and passeth over the River, and setteth his face [toward] the mount of Gilead.
就带着所有的逃跑。他起身过大河，面向基列山行去。
22 And it is told to Laban on the third day that Jacob hath fled,
到第三日，有人告诉拉班，雅各逃跑了。
23 and he taketh his brethren with him, and pursueth after him a journey of seven days, and overtaketh him in the mount of Gilead.
拉班带领他的众弟兄去追赶，追了七日，在基列山就追上了。
24 And God cometh in unto Laban the Aramaean in a dream of the night, and saith to him, 'Take heed to thyself lest thou speak with Jacob from good unto evil.'
夜间， 神到亚兰人拉班那里，在梦中对他说：“你要小心，不可与雅各说好说歹。”
25 And Laban overtaketh Jacob; and Jacob hath fixed his tent in the mount; and Laban with his brethren have fixed [theirs] in the mount of Gilead.
拉班追上雅各。雅各在山上支搭帐棚；拉班和他的众弟兄也在基列山上支搭帐棚。
26 And Laban saith to Jacob, 'What hast thou done that thou dost deceive my heart, and lead away my daughters as captives of the sword?
拉班对雅各说：“你做的是什么事呢？你背着我偷走了，又把我的女儿们带了去，如同用刀剑掳去的一般。
27 Why hast thou hidden thyself to flee, and deceivest me, and hast not declared to me, and I send thee away with joy and with songs, with tabret and with harp,
你为什么暗暗地逃跑，偷着走，并不告诉我，叫我可以欢乐、唱歌、击鼓、弹琴地送你回去？
28 and hast not suffered me to kiss my sons and my daughters? — now thou hast acted foolishly in doing [so];
又不容我与外孙和女儿亲嘴？你所行的真是愚昧！
29 my hand is to God to do evil with you, but the God of your father yesternight hath spoken unto me, saying, Take heed to thyself from speaking with Jacob from good unto evil.
我手中原有能力害你，只是你父亲的 神昨夜对我说：‘你要小心，不可与雅各说好说歹。’
30 'And now, thou hast certainly gone, because thou hast been very desirous for the house of thy father; why hast thou stolen my gods?'
现在你虽然想你父家，不得不去，为什么又偷了我的神像呢？”
31 And Jacob answereth and saith to Laban, 'Because I was afraid, for I said, Lest thou take violently away thy daughters from me;
雅各回答拉班说：“恐怕你把你的女儿从我夺去，所以我逃跑。
32 with whomsoever thou findest thy gods — he doth not live; before our brethren discern for thyself what [is] with me, and take to thyself:' and Jacob hath not known that Rachel hath stolen them.
至于你的神像，你在谁那里搜出来，就不容谁存活。当着我们的众弟兄，你认一认，在我这里有什么东西是你的，就拿去。”原来雅各不知道拉结偷了那些神像。
33 And Laban goeth into the tent of Jacob, and into the tent of Leah, and into the tent of the two handmaidens, and hath not found; and he goeth out from the tent of Leah, and goeth into the tent of Rachel.
拉班进了雅各、利亚，并两个使女的帐棚，都没有搜出来，就从利亚的帐棚出来，进了拉结的帐棚。
34 And Rachel hath taken the teraphim, and putteth them in the furniture of the camel, and sitteth upon them; and Laban feeleth all the tent, and hath not found;
拉结已经把神像藏在骆驼的驮篓里，便坐在上头。拉班摸遍了那帐棚，并没有摸着。
35 and she saith unto her father, 'Let it not be displeasing in the eyes of my lord that I am not able to rise at thy presence, for the way of women [is] on me;' and he searcheth, and hath not found the teraphim.
拉结对她父亲说：“现在我身上不便，不能在你面前起来，求我主不要生气。”这样，拉班搜寻神像，竟没有搜出来。
36 And it is displeasing to Jacob, and he striveth with Laban; and Jacob answereth and saith to Laban, 'What [is] my transgression? what my sin, that thou hast burned after me?
雅各就发怒斥责拉班说：“我有什么过犯，有什么罪恶，你竟这样火速地追我？
37 for thou hast felt all my vessels: what hast thou found of all the vessels of thy house? set here before my brethren, and thy brethren, and they decide between us both.
你摸遍了我一切的家具，你搜出什么来呢？可以放在你我弟兄面前，叫他们在你我中间辨别辨别。
38 'These twenty years I [am] with thee: thy ewes and thy she-goats have not miscarried, and the rams of thy flock I have not eaten;
我在你家这二十年，你的母绵羊、母山羊没有掉过胎。你群中的公羊，我没有吃过；
39 the torn I have not brought in unto thee — I, I repay it — from my hand thou dost seek it; I have been deceived by day, and I have been deceived by night;
被野兽撕裂的，我没有带来给你，是我自己赔上。无论是白日，是黑夜，被偷去的，你都向我索要。
40 I have been [thus]: in the day consumed me hath drought, and frost by night, and wander doth my sleep from mine eyes.
我白日受尽干热，黑夜受尽寒霜，不得合眼睡着，我常是这样。
41 'This [is] to me twenty years in thy house: I have served thee fourteen years for thy two daughters, and six years for thy flock; and thou changest my hire ten times;
我这二十年在你家里，为你的两个女儿服事你十四年，为你的羊群服事你六年，你又十次改了我的工价。
42 unless the God of my father, the God of Abraham, and the Fear of Isaac, had been for me, surely now empty thou hadst sent me away; mine affliction and the labour of my hands hath God seen, and reproveth yesternight.'
若不是我父亲以撒所敬畏的 神，就是亚伯拉罕的 神与我同在，你如今必定打发我空手而去。 神看见我的苦情和我的劳碌，就在昨夜责备你。”
43 And Laban answereth and saith unto Jacob, 'The daughters [are] my daughters, and the sons my sons, and the flock my flock, and all that thou art seeing [is] mine; and to my daughters — what do I to these to-day, or to their sons whom they have born?
拉班回答雅各说：“这女儿是我的女儿，这些孩子是我的孩子，这些羊群也是我的羊群；凡在你眼前的都是我的。我的女儿并她们所生的孩子，我今日能向他们做什么呢？
44 and now, come, let us make a covenant, I and thou, and it hath been for a witness between me and thee.'
来吧！你我二人可以立约，作你我中间的证据。”
45 And Jacob taketh a stone, and lifteth it up [for] a standing pillar;
雅各就拿一块石头立作柱子，
46 and Jacob saith to his brethren, 'Gather stones,' and they take stones, and make a heap; and they eat there on the heap;
又对众弟兄说：“你们堆聚石头。”他们就拿石头来堆成一堆，大家便在旁边吃喝。
47 and Laban calleth it Jegar-Sahadutha; and Jacob hath called it Galeed.
拉班称那石堆为伊迦尔·撒哈杜他，雅各却称那石堆为迦累得。
48 And Laban saith, 'This heap [is] witness between me and thee to-day;' therefore hath he called its name Galeed;
拉班说：“今日这石堆作你我中间的证据。”因此这地方名叫迦累得，
49 Mizpah also, for he said, 'Jehovah doth watch between me and thee, for we are hidden one from another;
又叫米斯巴，意思说：“我们彼此离别以后，愿耶和华在你我中间鉴察。
50 if thou afflict my daughters, or take wives beside my daughters — there is no man with us — see, God [is] witness between me and thee.'
你若苦待我的女儿，又在我的女儿以外另娶妻，虽没有人知道，却有 神在你我中间作见证。”
51 And Laban saith to Jacob, 'Lo, this heap, and lo, the standing pillar which I have cast between me and thee;
拉班又说：“你看我在你我中间所立的这石堆和柱子。
52 this heap [is] witness, and the standing pillar [is] witness, that I do not pass over this heap unto thee, and that thou dost not pass over this heap and this standing pillar unto me — for evil;
这石堆作证据，这柱子也作证据。我必不过这石堆去害你；你也不可过这石堆和柱子来害我。
53 the God of Abraham and the God of Nahor, doth judge between us — the God of their father,' and Jacob sweareth by the Fear of his father Isaac.
但愿亚伯拉罕的 神和拿鹤的 神，就是他们父亲的 神，在你我中间判断。”雅各就指着他父亲以撒所敬畏的 神起誓，
54 And Jacob sacrificeth a sacrifice in the mount, and calleth to his brethren to eat bread, and they eat bread, and lodge in the mount;
又在山上献祭，请众弟兄来吃饭。他们吃了饭，便在山上住宿。
55 and Laban riseth early in the morning, and kisseth his sons and his daughters, and blesseth them; and Laban goeth on, and turneth back to his place.
拉班清早起来，与他外孙和女儿亲嘴，给他们祝福，回往自己的地方去了。
