Kinohi 31
1 LOHE aku la o Iakoba i na olelo a na keikikane a Labana, i ka i ana ae, Ua lawe aku la o Iakoba i na mea a pau a ko kakou makuakane, a ua loaa ia ia keia waiwai a pau no na mea a ko kakou makuakane.
Now Jacob heard that Laban’s sons were saying, “Jacob has taken away all that belonged to our father and built all this wealth at our father’s expense.”
2 Nana aku la o Iakoba i ka maka o Labana, aole ia i maliu mai ia ia e like mamua.
And Jacob saw from the countenance of Laban that his attitude toward him had changed.
3 Olelo mai la hoi o Iehova ia Iakoba, E hoi hou aku oe i ka aina o kou poe makua, a i na hoahanau ou; a owau kekahi pu me oe.
Then the LORD said to Jacob, “Go back to the land of your fathers and to your kindred, and I will be with you.”
4 Hoouna aku la o Iakoba e kahea ia Rahela laua o Lea e hele mai ma ke kula i kona poe holoholona.
So Jacob sent word and called Rachel and Leah to the field where his flocks were,
5 I aku la oia ia laua, Ua ike no wau i ka maka o ko olua makuakane, aole ia i maliu mai ia'u e like mamua: aka, me au no ke Akua o ko'u makuakane.
and he told them, “I can see from your father’s countenance that his attitude toward me has changed; but the God of my father has been with me.
6 Ua ike hoi olua i ko'u malama i ana i ko olua makuakane me ko'u ikaika a pau.
You know that I have served your father with all my strength.
7 A ua hoopunipuni mai ko olua makuakane ia'u, a he umi kana hoololi ana i ka'u uku: aka, aole ke Akua i ae mai e hoopoino mai ia ia'u.
And although he has cheated me and changed my wages ten times, God has not allowed him to harm me.
8 Ina i olelo mai kela penei, O na mea kikokiko kau uku, alaila hanau mai la na holoholona i na mea kikokiko: a i olelo mai ia penei, O na mea onionio kau uku, alaila hanau mai la na holoholona a pau i na mea onionio.
If he said, ‘The speckled will be your wages,’ then the whole flock bore speckled offspring. If he said, ‘The streaked will be your wages,’ then the whole flock bore streaked offspring.
9 Pela ke Akua i lawe ai i na holoholona a ko olua makuakane, a ua haawi mai ia'u.
Thus God has taken away your father’s livestock and given them to me.
10 A i ka manawa a ka poe holoholona i ko ai, nana aku la ko'u mau maka ma ka moeuhane, ike aku la, aia hoi, o na kao kane i lele aku maluna o na kao wahine ua onionio, a ua kikokiko, a me ke kikohukohu.
When the flocks were breeding, I saw in a dream that the streaked, spotted, and speckled males were mating with the females.
11 Olelo mai la ka anela o ke Akua ia'u ma ka moeuhane, E Iakoba: i aku la au, Eia wau.
In that dream the angel of God said to me, ‘Jacob!’ And I replied, ‘Here I am.’
12 I mai la kela, E nana aku oe e ike, o na kao kane e lele ana maluna o na kao wahine, ua onionio, ua kikokiko, a me ke kikohukohu: no ka mea, ua ike no wau i ka mea a pau a Labana i hana mai ai ia oe.
‘Look up,’ he said, ‘and see that all the males that are mating with the flock are streaked, spotted, or speckled; for I have seen all that Laban has done to you.
13 Owau no ke Akua no Betela, kahi au i poni ai i ka pohaku kukulu, kahi hoi au i hoohiki ai i ka hoohiki ia'u: ano hoi, e ku ae oe, e haalele aku i keia aina, a e hoi hou aku i ka aina o kou poe hoahanau.
I am the God of Bethel, where you anointed the pillar and made a solemn vow to Me. Now get up and leave this land at once, and return to your native land.’”
14 Olelo mai la o Rahela laua o Lea, i mai la ia ia, Auhea kekahi kuleana, a o kekahi waiwai hooili no maua ma ka hale o ko maua makuakane?
And Rachel and Leah replied, “Do we have any portion or inheritance left in our father’s house?
15 Aole anei i manaoia maua e ia, he mau mea e? no ka mea, ua lilo maua i ke kuaiia e ia, a ua pau loa hoi ko maua kala ia ia.
Are we not regarded by him as outsiders? Not only has he sold us, but he has certainly squandered what was paid for us.
16 Nolaila, o ka waiwai a pau a ke Akua i lawe ae mai ko maua makuakane mai, no kakou ia a no na keiki a kakou: ano hoi, e hana aku oe i ka mea a ke Akua i olelo mai ai ia oe.
Surely all the wealth that God has taken away from our father belongs to us and to our children. So do whatever God has told you.”
17 Alaila, ku ae la o Iakoba, hoee aku la i kana mau keiki a me kana mau wahine maluna o na kamelo;
Then Jacob got up and put his children and his wives on camels,
18 A lawe aku la ia i kana poe holoholona a pau, a me kona waiwai a pau i loaa ia ia, o na holoholona ana, i loaa ia ia ma Padanarama, e hele aku ai io Isaaka la i kona makuakane, ma ka aina o Kanaana.
and he drove all his livestock before him, along with all the possessions he had acquired in Paddan-aram, to go to his father Isaac in the land in Canaan.
19 Ua hala aku la o Labana e ako i kana poe hipa: a aihue iho la o Rahela i na kii o kona makuakane.
Now while Laban was out shearing his sheep, Rachel stole her father’s household idols.
20 Puni aku la ka naau o Labana ka Suria, ia Iakoba, i ka hai ole aku ia ia i kona mahuka ana.
Moreover, Jacob deceived Laban the Aramean by not telling him that he was running away.
21 Pela oia i mahuka ai me kana mau mea a pau: ku ae la ia, hele mai la ma keia aoao o ka muliwai, a hele pololei mai la i ka mauna o Gileada.
So he fled with all his possessions, crossed the Euphrates, and headed for the hill country of Gilead.
22 I ke kolu o ka la, olelo aku la kekahi ia Labana, Ua mahuka aku o Iakoba.
On the third day Laban was informed that Jacob had fled.
23 Kono aku la ia i kona poe hoahanau e hele pa me ia, alualu mai mahope ona i na la hele ehiku, a hiki mai la io Iakoba la ma ka mauna o Gileada.
So he took his relatives with him, pursued Jacob for seven days, and overtook him in the hill country of Gilead.
24 Hele mai la ke Akua io Labana la ka Suria ma ka moeuhane i ka po, i mai la ia ia, E ao ia oe iho, mai olelo aku oe ia Iakoba i ka mea aloha, aole hoi ka mea hoino.
But that night God came to Laban the Aramean in a dream and warned him, “Be careful not to say anything to Jacob, either good or bad.”
25 Alaila loaa mai la o Iakoba ia Labana. Ua kukulu o Iakoba i kona halelewa ma ua mauna la: kukulu hoi o Labana me kona poe hoahanau ma ka mauna o Gileada.
Now Jacob had pitched his tent in the hill country of Gilead when Laban overtook him, and Laban and his relatives camped there as well.
26 Olelo mai la o Labana ia Iakoba, Heaha kau i hana'i i hoopunipuni mai ai oe ia'u, a i lawe aku ai hoi i ka'u mau kaikamahine, e like me na pio e ke kana?
Then Laban said to Jacob, “What have you done? You have deceived me and carried off my daughters like captives of war!
27 No ke aha la oe i holo malu mai ai, me ka puni mai ia'u, aole hoi i hai mai ia'u, i hoihoi aku ai au ia oe me ka olioli a me na mele, me na pahukani a me na lira!
Why did you run away secretly and deceive me, without even telling me? I would have sent you away with joy and singing, with tambourines and harps.
28 Aole hoi i ae mai oe ia'u e honi i ka'u mau moopuna a me na kaikamahine a'u? He lapuwale ka hana ana au i hana'i.
But you did not even let me kiss my grandchildren and my daughters goodbye. Now you have done a foolish thing.
29 E hiki no i kuu lima ke hana aku ia oe i ke ino: aka, o ke Akua o kou makuakane i olelo mai ia'u, i ka po nei, i ka i ana, E ao oe, mai olelo aku oe ia Iakoba i ka mea aloha, aole hoi ka mea hoino.
I have power to do you great harm, but last night the God of your father said to me, ‘Be careful not to say anything to Jacob, either good or bad.’
30 Ano hoi, i ka hele ana ua hala aku la oe, no kou iini nui ana i ka hale o kou makuakane; no ke aha hoi oe i aihue ai i ko'u mau akua?
Now you have gone off because you long for your father’s house. But why have you stolen my gods?”
31 Olelo aku la o Iakoba ia Labana, i aku la, No ka mea, ua makau wau: i iho la au, E kaili aku paha oe i kau mau kaikamahine mai o'u aku nei.
“I was afraid,” Jacob answered, “for I thought you would take your daughters from me by force.
32 A o ka mea e loaa ia oe, ia ia kou mau akua, aole ia e ola; imua o ko kana mau hoahanau e nana oe i kau maanei me au, a e lawe aku oe i ou la. No ka mea, aole i ike o Iakoba, na Rahela i aihue ia mau mea.
If you find your gods with anyone here, he shall not live! In the presence of our relatives, see for yourself if anything is yours, and take it back.” For Jacob did not know that Rachel had stolen the idols.
33 Komo aku la o Labana iloko o ka halelewa o Iakoba, a iloko o ka halelewa o Lea, iloko hoi o na halelewa o na kauwawahine elua, aole i loaa. Alaila, hele aku la ia iwaho o ka halelewa o Lea, a komo aku la iloko o ka halelewa o Rahela.
So Laban went into Jacob’s tent, then Leah’s tent, and then the tents of the two maidservants, but he found nothing. Then he left Leah’s tent and entered Rachel’s tent.
34 Ua lawe aku no o Rahela i ua mau kii la, a waiho pu iho la me na noho kamelo, a noho iho la maluna. Huli iho la o Labana i ka halelewa a pau, aole nae i loaa.
Now Rachel had taken Laban’s household idols, put them in the saddlebag of her camel, and was sitting on them. And Laban searched everything in the tent but found nothing.
35 I aku la o Rahela i kona makuakane, mai huhu mai ko'u haku i kuu hiki ole ke ku ae iluna; no ka mea, he mai wahine ko'u. Imi iho la oia, aole nae i loaa ia ia na kii.
Rachel said to her father, “Sir, do not be angry that I cannot stand up before you; for I am having my period.” So Laban searched, but could not find the household idols.
36 Ukiuki iho la o Iakoba, a ao aku la ia Labana: olelo aku la o Iakoba, i aku la ia Labana, Heaha ko'u hala? heaha hoi ko'u hewa, i alualu wela mai ai oe ia'o?
Then Jacob became incensed and challenged Laban. “What is my crime?” he said. “For what sin of mine have you so hotly pursued me?
37 A ua huli iho oe i ka'u ukana a pau, a heaha kau i loaa ai o na mea a pau o kou hale? e kau mai ianei imua o ko'u mau hoahanau a me kou mau hoahanau, i hooponopono mai ai lakou iwaena o kaua.
You have searched all my goods! Have you found anything that belongs to you? Put it here before my brothers and yours, that they may judge between the two of us.
38 He iwakalua na makahiki a'u i noho ai me oe; o kau poe hipa wahine a me kau poe kao wahine, aole lakou i hanau i ka wa, aole hoi au i ai i na hipa kane o kou poe holoholona.
I have been with you for twenty years now. Your sheep and goats have not miscarried, nor have I eaten the rams of your flock.
39 O na mea i haehaeia, aole au i lawe aku ion la; na'u no i uku aku: nau i lawe aku ia mea mai kuu lima aku, no ka mea i aihueia i ke ao, a i aihueia i ka po.
I did not bring you anything torn by wild beasts; I bore the loss myself. And you demanded payment from me for what was stolen by day or night.
40 Pela wau; i ke ao, ua wela au i ka la, a i ka po, ua make i ke anu: a holo aku la ka hiamoe mai o'u mau maka aku.
As it was, the heat consumed me by day and the frost by night, and sleep fled from my eyes.
41 Pela wau i na makahiki he iwakalua maloko o kou hale; hooikaika au nau i na makahiki he umikumamaha no kau mau kaikamahine, a me na makahiki eono no kou poe holoholona: a he umi kau hoololi ana i ka'u uku.
Thus for twenty years I have served in your household—fourteen years for your two daughters and six years for your flocks—and you have changed my wages ten times!
42 Ina aole me au ke Akua o ko'u knpunakane, ke Akua o Aberahama, a o ka makau o Isaaka, he oiaio, ina ua hoihoi nele mai oe ia'u i neia manawa. Ua ike mai no ke Akua i ko'u popilikia, a me ka hana ana a ko u mau lima, a ua papa mai ia oe i ka po nei.
If the God of my father, the God of Abraham and the Fear of Isaac, had not been with me, surely by now you would have sent me away empty-handed. But God has seen my affliction and the toil of my hands, and last night He rendered judgment.”
43 Olelo mai la o Labana ia Iakoba, i mai la, Na'u no keia mau kaikamahine, a na'u no keia mau kamalii, a na'u no hoi keia poe holoholona, a na'u no na mea a pau au e ike nei; a heaha ka'u mea e hiki ai i keia la ke hana aku i keia mau kaikamahine a'u, a me keia mau kamalii a lakou i hanau ai?
But Laban answered Jacob, “These daughters are my daughters, these sons are my sons, and these flocks are my flocks! Everything you see is mine! Yet what can I do today about these daughters of mine or the children they have borne?
44 Nolaila ea, e hoopaa kaua i berita, owau a o oe, i mea hoikeike mawaena o kaua.
Come now, let us make a covenant, you and I, and let it serve as a witness between you and me.”
45 Lalau aku la o Iakoba i ka pohaku, a hooku ae la ia mea i kukulu.
So Jacob picked out a stone and set it up as a pillar,
46 I aku la hoi o Iakoba i kona poe hoahanau, E houluulu mai oukou i na pohaku; lawe mai la lakou i na pohaku, a hana iho la i ahu; a ai iho la lakou maluna o ua ahu la.
and he said to his relatives, “Gather some stones.” So they took stones and made a mound, and there by the mound they ate.
47 Kapa iho la o Labana ia ahu, o I Iegasaduha: kapa iho ia o Iakoba ia mea, o I Galeeda.
Laban called it Jegar-sahadutha, and Jacob called it Galeed.
48 Olelo mai la o Labana, He mea hoikeike keia ahu pohaku mawaena o kaua i keia la. Nolaila i kapaia'i kona inoa o Galeeda.
Then Laban declared, “This mound is a witness between you and me this day.” Therefore the place was called Galeed.
49 A o I Mizepa hoi; no ka mea, i mai la ia, O Iehova ke kiai mai mawaena o kaua, i ko kaua manawa e noho kaawale ana.
It was also called Mizpah, because Laban said, “May the LORD keep watch between you and me when we are absent from each other.
50 Ina oe e hoopilikia i ka'u mau kaikamahine ina hoi oe e lawe i na wahine hou, he okoa keia mau kaikamahine a'u, aohe kanaka me kaua; e ao oe, o ke Akua no ke ike maka mai mawaena o kaua.
If you mistreat my daughters or take other wives, although no one is with us, remember that God is a witness between you and me.”
51 I mai la o Labana ia Iakoba, E nana i keia ahu, e nana hoi i keia pohaku kukulu a'u i hoolei aku ai mawaena o kaua;
Laban also said to Jacob, “Here is the mound, and here is the pillar I have set up between you and me.
52 He mea hoikeike keia ahu, he mea hoikeike hoi keia pohaku kukulu, i hele ole aku ai au ma keia aoao o keia ahu i ou la, aole hoi oe e hele mai ma keia aoao o ua ahu nei a me keia pohaku kukulu i o'u nei, e hana ino.
This mound is a witness, and this pillar is a witness, that I will not go past this mound to harm you, and you will not go past this mound and pillar to harm me.
53 O ke Akua o Aberahama, a o ke Akua o Nahora, ke Akua o ko laua makuakane, e hooponopono mawaena o kaua. A hoohiki aku la o Iakoba ma ka Makau o kona makuakane o Isaaka.
May the God of Abraham and the God of Nahor, the God of their father, judge between us.” So Jacob swore by the Fear of his father Isaac.
54 Alaila, kaumaha aku la o Iakoba i ka mohai maluna o ia mauna, a kahea aku la i kona poe hoahanau e ai i ka berena: ai iho la lakou i ka berena, a moe iho la ia po ma ka mauna.
Then Jacob offered a sacrifice on the mountain and invited his relatives to eat a meal. And after they had eaten, they spent the night on the mountain.
55 I kakahiaka nui, aia ae ia o Labana, honi ae la i kana mau moopuna a me kana mau kaikamahine, a hoomaikai iho la ia lakou; hele aku la o Labana, a hoi aku la i kona wahi.
Early the next morning, Laban got up and kissed his grandchildren and daughters and blessed them. Then he left to return home.
