Pirmā Mozus 31
1 Un viņš dzirdēja, ka Lābana bērni sacīja: Jēkabs visu paņēmis, kas mūsu tēvam pieder, un no tā, kas mūsu tēvam piederēja, viņš visu šo mantu ir krājis.
Someone told Jacob that Laban’s sons were complaining and saying, “Jacob has become very rich by taking everything [HYP] that belonged to our father.”
2 Un Jēkabs redzēja Lābana vaigu, un redzi, tas nebija vairs, kā vakar un aizvakar.
And Jacob noticed that Laban was not acting friendly toward him as he had done before.
3 Un Tas Kungs sacīja uz Jēkabu: griezies atpakaļ uz savu tēva zemi un pie saviem radiem, un Es būšu ar tevi.
Then Yahweh said to Jacob, “Go back to your country and your relatives, and I will help you there.”
4 Tad Jēkabs sūtīja un aicināja Rahēli un Leū uz lauku pie savām avīm,
So Jacob sent a message to Rachel and Leah, telling them to come out to the pastures where his flocks of sheep and goats were.
5 Un sacīja uz tām: es redzu jūsu tēva vaigu, ka tas nav pret mani kā vakar un aizvakar, bet mana tēva Dievs ir bijis ar mani.
When they arrived, he said to them, “I see that your father does not act friendly toward me as he did previously. But God, whom my father worshiped, has helped me.
6 Un jūs zināt, ka ar visu savu spēku jūsu tēvam esmu kalpojis.
You two know that I have worked very hard for your father,
7 Bet jūsu tēvs mani pievīlis un manu algu desmitkārt pārgrozījis; tomēr Dievs tam nav vaļas devis, man ļaunu darīt.
but many times [HYP] he has cheated me by decreasing my wages. But God has not allowed him to harm me.
8 Kad viņš tā sacīja: tām lāsainām būs tev būt par algu, tad visas avis vedās lāsainas; un kad viņš tā sacīja: tām strīpainām būs tev būt par algu, tad visas avis vedās strīpainas.
When Laban said, ‘The speckled animals are the ones that I will give you to be your wages,’ then all the animals gave birth to young ones that were speckled. When he changed and said, ‘The ones that have black and white stripes on them will be your wages,’ then all the animals gave birth to young ones that were striped.
9 Tā Dievs jūsu tēvam tos lopus ir atņēmis un man devis.
In that way, God has taken away the livestock that belonged to your father and has given them to me.
10 Un notikās tanī laikā, kad avis apgājās, ka es savas acis pacēlu un redzēju sapnī, un redzi, tie āži, kas apgājās, bija strīpaini, raibi un lāsaini.
“One time, when the animals were mating, I had a dream. In my dream I [looked up and was surprised to] see that some of the male goats that were mating with the female goats had black and white stripes on them, some were speckled, and some were spotted.
11 Tad tas Dieva eņģelis uz mani sacīja sapnī: Jēkab; un es sacīju: še es esmu.
An angel who was sent by God said to me in the dream, ‘Jacob!’ I replied, ‘I am here!’
12 Un tas sacīja: pacel jel savas acis un skaties, - visi tekuļi, kas apietās ar tām avīm, ir strīpaini, lāsaini un raibi; jo Es visu to esmu redzējis, ko tev Lābans dara.
He said to me, ‘Look up and you will see that all the male goats that are mating have black and white stripes on them, or are speckled or spotted. This is happening because I have seen all that Laban has done to you.
13 Es esmu Bēteles Dievs, kur tu esi svaidījis piemiņas akmeni, kur tu man solīdamies esi solījies; celies nu un izej no šās zemes un griezies atpakaļ uz savu dzimteni.
I am God who appeared to you at Bethel, where you set up a stone to show that the place was holy, and you poured [olive] oil on the stone and made a solemn promise to me. So now leave this land immediately, and return to the land where you were born.’”
14 Tad Rahēle un Lea atbildēja un uz to sacīja: vai mums vēl ir kāda daļa un mantība mūsu tēva namā?
Rachel and Leah replied, “Our father will not give us anything more when he dies [RHQ].
15 Vai mēs no viņa neesam turētas kā svešas? Jo viņš mūs ir pārdevis un arī mūsu maksu rīdams aprijis.
He treats us as though we were foreigners [RHQ]! [Your working for him all these years was like a payment] that you gave him as a price for us, but we will not inherit any of that money that he got as a price for us. He has spent it all!
16 Jo visa bagātība, ko Dievs mūsu tēvam ir atņēmis, pieder mums un mūsu bērniem; un nu dari visu to, ko Dievs tev ir sacījis.
Surely all of the wealth that God took away from our father belongs to us and to our children. So do whatever God has told you to do!”
17 Un Jēkabs cēlās un lika savus bērnus un savas sievas uz kamieļiem;
Then Jacob put his children and his wives on camels.
18 Un aizveda visus savus lopus un visu savu mantu, ko Mezopotamijā bija pelnījis, ka ietu pie Īzaka, sava tēva, uz Kanaāna zemi.
He made all his livestock go ahead of him. Besides the livestock, he took along all the other things that he had acquired while living in Paddan-Aram. And they prepared to return to his father Isaac, in the Canaan region.
19 Un Lābans bija aizgājis savas avis cirpt, un Rahēle nozaga tos elka dievus, kas bija viņas tēvam.
Before they left, while Laban was shearing his sheep, Rachel stole the [small wooden] idols [that were in her father’s tent].
20 Un Jēkabs pievīla Lābanu, to Sīrieti, nesacīdams, ka bēgšot.
Furthermore, Jacob deceived Laban, who belonged to the Aram people-group, by not telling him that they were planning to leave.
21 Un viņš bēga ar visu, kas tam bija, un cēlās un pārcēlās pār to lielo upi un grieza savu vaigu uz Gileād kalniem.
So Jacob and his family fled with all their possessions, and they crossed the Euphrates River, and then started traveling south toward the hilly Gilead region.
22 Un trešā dienā Lābanam tapa sacīts, Jēkabu esam aizbēgušu.
On the third day after they left, someone told Laban that Jacob and his family had left.
23 Tad tas ņēma savus brāļus un dzinās tam pakaļ septiņu dienu gājumu un to panāca uz Gileād kalniem.
So he took some of his relatives with him and started to pursue Jacob. They continued walking for seven days.
24 Bet Dievs nāca pie Lābana, tā Sīrieša, sapnī un tam sacīja: sargies, ka tu ar Jēkabu nerunā no laba uz ļaunu.
Then God appeared to Laban in a dream at night, and said to him, “When you catch up to Jacob, be sure that you do not say anything at all [HYP] to him in an angry manner!”
25 Un Lābans panāca Jēkabu; un Jēkabs savu telti bija uzcēlis kalnā, un Lābans ar saviem brāļiem to uzcēla Gileād kalnos.
The next day, by the time Laban caught up with Jacob, Jacob and his household had set up their tents in the hilly Gilead region. So Laban and his relatives set up their tents there, too.
26 Tad Lābans sacīja uz Jēkabu: ko tu esi darījis, ka tu mani esi pievīlis un manas meitas aizvedis, tā kā ar zobenu saņemtas?
Then Laban went to Jacob and said to him, “Why have you done this? You have deceived me by carrying away my daughters as though you had captured them in a war [MTY]!
27 Kam tu paslepen esi aizbēdzis un no manis nozadzies, un man to neesi sacījis, ka es tev būtu pavadījis ar līksmību un dziesmām, ar bungām un koklēm?
Why did you run away and deceive me? Why did you not tell me that you were going to leave, so that we could have rejoiced and sung while people played music on tambourines and harps before I said ‘goodbye’ to you?
28 Un tu man neesi ļāvis skūpstīt savus dēlus un savas meitas. Tu neprātīgi esi darījis.
(You did not even let me kiss my grandchildren and my daughters goodbye before they left!/Why did you not allow me to kiss my grandchildren and daughters goodbye before they left?) [RHQ] What you have done was foolish!
29 Spēka gan būtu manā rokā jums ļaunu darīt, bet jūsu tēva Dievs vakar uz mani runājis sacīdams: sargies, ka tu ar Jēkabu nerunā no laba uz ļaunu.
My relatives and I have the power to harm you, but last night the God whom your father worships said to me in a dream, ‘Be sure that you do not say anything at all to Jacob in an angry way.’
30 Un nu, tu esi ātri aizgājis, jo tu esi ilgodamies ilgojies pēc sava tēva nama; - kāpēc tu esi nozadzis manus dievus?
Now, I know you have left because you long to go back home. But why did you steal my [wooden] idols?”
31 Tad Jēkabs atbildēja un sacīja uz Lābanu: man bija bail un es domāju, ka tu man savas meitas ar varu atņemsi.
Jacob replied to Laban, saying, “I did not tell you that we were planning to leave, because I was afraid. I thought that [if I told you], you would forcefully take your daughters away from me.
32 Bet pie kura tu savus dievus atradīsi, tas lai nepaliek dzīvs mūsu brāļu priekšā. Izmeklē, kas man ir, un ņem tos. Bet Jēkabs nezināja, ka Rahēle tos bija nozagusi.
But if you find anyone here who has your wooden idols, we will execute that person. While our relatives are watching, search for yourself to see if there is anything that belongs to you that is here with me. If you find anything, you can take it!” When Jacob said that, he did not know that Rachel had stolen the wooden idols.
33 Un Lābans gāja Jēkaba teltī un Leas teltī un to abu kalpoņu teltī un neatrada nenieka; un izgāja no Leas telts un iegāja Rahēles teltī.
Laban went into Jacob’s tent, and then into Leah’s tent, and then into the tents of the two female slaves and searched for the idols, but he did not find them. After he left their tents, he entered Rachel’s tent.
34 Bet Rahēle tos elka dievus bija ņēmusi un nolikusi apakš kamieļa sedliem un uzsēdusies tiem virsū. Un Lābans apgrābstīja visu to telti un tos neatrada.
But Rachel had previously taken the idols and put them in the saddle of a camel, and she was sitting on the saddle. So when Laban searched all over for them inside Rachel’s tent, he did not find them.
35 Un tā sacīja uz savu tēvu: neapskaisties, mans kungs, ka es priekš tevis nevaru celties, jo man klājās, kā sievām mēdz būt. Un viņš pārmeklēdams neatrada tos elka dievus.
Rachel said to her father, “Do not be angry with me, sir, but I cannot get up in your presence [to show respect for you], because I am having my monthly menstrual period. [EUP]” So when Laban searched some more, he did not find the [wooden] idols.
36 Tad Jēkabs apskaitās un bārās un sacīja uz Lābanu: kas ir mans noziegums, kas ir mani grēki, ka tu tik karsti man esi dzinies pakaļ?
Then Jacob became angry. He rebuked Laban, saying, “What crime did I commit? For what sin that I committed have you pursued me?
37 Ka tu visus manus rīkus esi aptaustījis; ko tu esi atradis no visiem tava nama rīkiem? Liec to priekšā maniem un taviem brāļiem, ka tie starp mums abiem tiesā.
Now you have searched through all my possessions, and what did you find from all these possessions that belongs to you? Put it here in front of my relatives and your relatives, so that they can decide who is right, you or me!
38 Šos divdesmit gadus es pie tevis esmu bijis, tavas avis un tavas kazas nav izmetušās, un tos aunus no tavām avīm es neesmu ēdis.
I was with you for 20 years. In all that time, your sheep and goats have (not miscarried/always given birth to animals safely). I have not [killed and] eaten any rams from your flocks.
39 To saplosīto es tev neesmu pārnesis, tas man bija jāmaksā; no manas rokas tu to esi prasījis, vai tas bija zagts dienā, vai tas bija zagts naktī.
When one of your animals was attacked and mauled/killed by a wild animal, I did not bring it to you. I replaced the dead animal with a living one of my own animals. Whenever one of your animals was stolen, during the day or during the night, you demanded that I replace it with one of my own animals.
40 Es esmu tāds bijis, ka mani dienā karstums nomāca un naktī aukstums, un miegs nenāca manās acīs.
I suffered from the heat during the day and from the cold at night. I was often not even able to sleep [PRS]!
41 Divdesmit gadus esmu bijis tavā namā, četrpadsmit gadus tev esmu kalpojis par tavām divām meitām un sešus gadus par tavām avīm, un tu manu algu desmitkārt esi pārgrozījis.
I lived in your household for 20 years. I worked for you for 14 years to buy your two daughters, and for six more years to buy some of your sheep and goats. During that time, you changed and reduced my wages many times [HYP].
42 Ja mana tēva Dievs, tas Ābrahāma Dievs un Tas, ko Īzaks bijās, pie manis nebūtu bijis, tu nu mani tukšu būtu aizsūtījis. Dievs manas bēdas un manu roku darbu ir uzlūkojis un tevi izgājušā naktī apsaucis.
If God, the one whom my grandfather Abraham worshiped and before whom my father Isaac trembled in fear, had not been with me and helped me, you would have sent me away (with nothing in my hands/owning nothing)! But God saw how much I was suffering and how hard I was working, so last night he told you that what you have done to me was wrong.”
43 Tad Lābans atbildēja un sacīja uz Jēkabu: tās meitas ir manas meitas, un tie bērni ir mani bērni, un tās avis ir manas avis, un viss, ko tu redzi, tas ir mans; un ko es šodien darīšu šīm manām meitām vai viņu bērniem, ko tās ir dzemdējušas?
Laban replied, “These two women are my daughters, and their children are my grandchildren, and the animals are my animals. Everything you see here is mine [HYP]! But what can I do today to keep my daughters or the children they have given birth to [RHQ]?
44 Un nu nāc, darīsim derību, es un tu, ka tā ir par liecību starp mani un tevi.
I cannot do anything in order to keep them, so hey, we should make a peace agreement, you and I, and do something that will remind us about our agreement.”
45 Un Jēkabs ņēma akmeni un to uzcēla par zīmi.
So Jacob took a [large] stone and set it on its end.
46 Un Jēkabs sacīja uz saviem brāļiem: salasiet akmeņus; un tie ņēma akmeņus un salika tos vienā kopā, un ēda tur virs tās kopas.
Then Jacob said to his relatives, “You also gather some stones.” So they gathered some rocks and put them in a heap, and they ate some food there near the heap.
47 Un Lābans to nosauca Jegar-Sahāduta (āramiski: liecības kopa), bet Jēkabs to nosauca Galed (ebrejiski: liecības kopa).
Laban gave the heap the Aramaic name Jegar-Sahadutha, [which means ‘rock-pile to remind us’, ] but Jacob gave the rock-pile the Hebrew name Galeed, [which has the same meaning].
48 Un Lābans sacīja: šī kopa lai šodien liecību dod starp mani un tevi; tāpēc viņas vārdu nosauca Galedu
Laban said to Jacob, “This pile of rocks we have put here today will help us to remember our agreement.” That is why Jacob called it Galeed.
49 Un Micpu, tāpēc ka viņš sacīja: Tas Kungs lai skatās uz mani un uz tevi, kad mēs viens otru neredzēsim.
They also named the place Mizpah, [which sounds like the Hebrew word that means ‘watchtower’, ] because Laban said, “We will ask Yahweh to watch you and me while we are separated from each other, [so that we do not try to harm each other].
50 Ja tu apbēdināsi manas meitas un ņemsi citas sievas pie manām meitām klāt, - neviens nav pie mums, redzi, Dievs būs liecinieks starp mani un tevi.
If you mistreat my daughters, or if you take other women to be your wives, even if no one tells me about it, don’t forget that God sees what you and I are doing!”
51 Tad Lābans sacīja uz Jēkabu: redz, šī kopa, un redz, šī piemiņas zīme, ko es esmu uzcēlis starp mani un tevi.
Laban also said to Jacob, “You see this large stone and this pile of rocks that we have set up to be between us.
52 Šī kopa lai dod liecību un šī zīme lai dod liecību, ka es gar šo kopu nenoiešu pie tevis, ļauna darīt, un ka tev gar šo kopu un šo zīmi nebūs pie manis nākt, ļauna darīt.
Both this pile of rocks and this large stone will remind us, that I will not go past these rocks to harm you, and you will not go past these rocks to harm me.
53 Ābrahāma Dievs un Nahora Dievs un viņu tēvu Dievs lai tiesā starp mums.
We will ask the God whom [your grandfather] Abraham and [his father] Nahor worshiped to punish [MTY] either one of us, [if we harm the other one].” So Jacob solemnly promised to do what they said in their peace agreement. And he asked God, the one before whom his father Isaac trembled, to listen to what they promised.
54 Un Jēkabs zvērēja pie tā, ko viņa tēvs Īzaks bijās, un upurēja upuri kalnā un aicināja savus brāļus maizi ēst. Un tie ēda maizi un palika par nakti uz tā kalna.
He offered a sacrifice to God there in the hilly area, and he invited his relatives to eat with him. After they had eaten, they slept there that night.
55 Un Lābans cēlās rītā agri un skūpstīja savus bērnus un savas meitas un tos svētīja. Un Lābans aizgāja un griezās atpakaļ uz savu vietu.
The next morning Laban kissed his grandchildren and his daughters [goodbye] and asked God to bless them. Then he [and his men] left them and returned home.
