Genesisy 31
1 Ary Jakoba nandre ny tenin’ ny zanakalahin’ i Labana nanao hoe: Efa lasan’ i Jakoba avokoa izay rehetra nananan’ ny raintsika; ary avy tamin’ ny fananan’ ny raintsika no nahazoany izao voninahitra rehetra izao.
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 Ary hitan’ i Jakoba ny tarehin’ i Labana, fa indro tsy mba miramirana taminy tahaka ny taloha izy.
And Jacob saw from the countenance of Laban that his attitude toward him had changed.
3 Ary hoy Jehovah tamin’ i Jakoba: Modia any amin’ ny tanin’ ny razanao sy any amin’ ny havanao; ary homba anao Aho.
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 Ary Jakoba naniraka ka nampaka an-dRahely sy Lea hankany an-tsaha ho any amin’ ny ondry aman’ osiny
So Jacob sent word and called Rachel and Leah to the field where his flocks were,
5 ka nanao taminy hoe: Hitako ny tarehin’ ny rainareo, fa tsy mba miramirana amiko tahaka ny taloha; fa Andriamanitry ny raiko no efa nomba ahy.
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 Ary fantatrareo fa tamin’ ny heriko rehetra no nanompoako ny rainareo.
You know that I have served your father with all my strength.
7 Fa ny rainareo efa namitaka ahy ka efa nanova ny karamako im-polo; nefa tsy navelan’ Andriamanitra hahatonga loza tamiko izy.
And although he has cheated me and changed my wages ten times, God has not allowed him to harm me.
8 Raha nilaza hoe izy: Ny mara rehetra ho karamanao, dia niteraka mara ny ondry aman’ osy rehetra: ary raha nilaza hoe indray izy: Ny sadika rehetra ho karamanao, dia niteraka sadika ny ondry aman’ osy rehetra.
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 Dia nalain’ Andriamanitra ny fananan’ ny rainareo ka nomeny ahy.
Thus God has taken away your father’s livestock and given them to me.
10 Ary rehefa mby amin’ ny andro izay nikambanan’ ny ondry aman’ osy, dia natopiko ny masoko, ka hitako tamin’ ny nofy, ary indro, sadika sy mara ary sada ny lahy izay nikambana tamin’ ny ondrivavy sy ny osivavy.
When the flocks were breeding, I saw in a dream that the streaked, spotted, and speckled males were mating with the females.
11 Ary hoy Ilay Anjelin’ Andriamanitra tamiko tamin’ ny nofy: Ry Jakoba; dia hoy izaho: Inty aho.
In that dream the angel of God said to me, ‘Jacob!’ And I replied, ‘Here I am.’
12 Ary hoy Izy: Mba atopazy ny masonao ka jereo, fa sadika sy mara ary sada ny lahy rehetra izay mikambana amin’ ny ondrivavy sy ny osivavy, satria efa hitako izay rehetra nataon’ i Labana taminao.
‘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 Izaho no Andriamanitr’ i Betela, izay nanosoranao tsangam-bato sy nivoadianao tamiko; miaingà ankehitriny hiala amin’ ity tany ity, ka modia any amin’ ny tany nahaterahanao.
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 Dia namaly Rahely sy Lea ka nanao taminy hoe: Mbola misy anjara sy lova ho anay va ao an-tranon’ ny rainay?
And Rachel and Leah replied, “Do we have any portion or inheritance left in our father’s house?
15 Tsy nataony toy ny vahiny va izahay? Fa efa namidiny izahay sady nohaniny lalandava ny volanay rehetra.
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 Fa ny harena rehetra izay nalain’ Andriamanitra tamin’ ny rainay, dia anay sy an’ ny zanakay izany; koa ankehitriny, izay rehetra nolazain’ Andriamanitra taminao dia ataovy.
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 Dia niainga Jakoba, ka nampitaingeniny ny rameva ny zanany sy ny vadiny;
Then Jacob got up and put his children and his wives on camels,
18 dia nitondra ny ombiny sy ny ondry aman’ osiny rehetra izy, mbamin’ ny fananana rehetra izay efa nohariny, dia ny omby aman’ ondry izay efa azony tany Mesopotamia, mba hankany amin’ Isaka rainy any amin’ ny tany Kanana.
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 Ary Labana efa lasa nandeha hanety ny ondry aman’ osiny; dia nangalarin-dRahely ny sampin-drainy.
Now while Laban was out shearing his sheep, Rachel stole her father’s household idols.
20 Ary Jakoba dia nangala-dia tamin’ i Labana Syriana, fa tsy nambarany taminy ny amin’ ny handosirany.
Moreover, Jacob deceived Laban the Aramean by not telling him that he was running away.
21 Ary nandositra izy ka nitondra ny fananany rehetra; dia niainga izy ka nita ny Ony, ary nizotra hankany an-tendrombohitra Gileada.
So he fled with all his possessions, crossed the Euphrates, and headed for the hill country of Gilead.
22 Ary tamin’ ny andro fahatelo dia nisy nanambara tamin’ i Labana fa lasa nandositra Jakoba.
On the third day Laban was informed that Jacob had fled.
23 Dia nitondra ny havany homba azy izy ka nanenjika azy lalan-kafitoana, dia nahatratra azy teo an-tendrombohitra Gileada.
So he took his relatives with him, pursued Jacob for seven days, and overtook him in the hill country of Gilead.
24 Fa Andriamanitra nankeo amin’ i Labana Syriana tamin’ ny nofy nony alina ka nanao taminy hoe: Tandremo mba tsy hasianao teny akory Jakoba, na soa na ratsy.
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 Ary Labana dia nahatratra an’ i Jakoba. Ary Jakoba dia efa nanorina ny lainy teo an-tendrombohitra; ary Labana sy ny havany kosa nanorin-day teo an-tendrombohitr’ i 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 Ary hoy Labana tamin’ i Jakoba: Inona izao ataonao izao, no dia nangala-dia tamiko ianao ka nitondra ny zanako-vavy toy ny babo azo tamin’ ny sabatra?
Then Laban said to Jacob, “What have you done? You have deceived me and carried off my daughters like captives of war!
27 Nahoana no nandositra mangingina ianao ka nangala-dia tamiko; ary tsy nanambara tamiko ianao mba hanaterako anao amin’ ny fifaliana sy ny hira, amin’ ny ampongatapaka sy ny lokanga,
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 sady tsy mba navelanao hanoroka ny zanako-lahy sy ny zanako-vavy aho? Fa izao dia efa nanao adaladala ianao.
But you did not even let me kiss my grandchildren and my daughters goodbye. Now you have done a foolish thing.
29 Manan-kery hanisy ratsy anareo ny tanako; fa Andriamanitry ny rainareo efa niteny tamiko halina ka nanao hoe: Tandremo mba tsy hasianao teny akory Jakoba, na soa na ratsy.
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 Ary ankehitriny, raha mandeha tokoa ianao, satria manina ny tranon’ ny rainao indrindra ianao, nahoana no nangalarinao ny andriamanitro?
Now you have gone off because you long for your father’s house. But why have you stolen my gods?”
31 Dia namaly Jakoba ka nanao tamin’ i Labana hoe: Satria natahotra aho; fa hoy izaho: Angamba halainao an-keriny amiko ny zanakao-vavy.
“I was afraid,” Jacob answered, “for I thought you would take your daughters from me by force.
32 Izay hahitanao ny andriamanitrao dia aza velomina; eto anatrehan’ ny havantsika savao izay ato amiko, ka ento ny anao. Fa tsy fantatr’ i Jakoba fa Rahely no efa nangalatra azy.
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 Ary Labana niditra tao an-dain’ i Jakoba sy tao an-dain’ i Lea ary tao an-dain’ ny ankiziny roa vavy, fa tsy nahita. Dia niala tao an-dain’ i Lea izy ka niditra tao an-dain-Rahely.
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 Fa efa nalain-dRahely ny sampy ka nataony tao anatin’ ny laselin’ ny rameva, dia nipetraka teo amboniny izy. Ary Labana dia nikaroka eran’ ny lay rehetra, fa tsy nahita.
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 Ary hoy Rahely tamin’ ny rainy: Aza fady aho, tompokolahy, fa tsy mahazo mitsangana eto anatrehanao aho, satria azon’ ny fombam-behivavy. Dia nikaroka fatratra izy, fa tsy nahita ny sampy.
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 Dia tezitra Jakoba ka nifamaly tamin’ i Labana; ary namaly Jakoba ka nanao tamin’ i Labana hoe: Inona no heloko? inona no otako, no dia niolomay nanenjika ahy ianao?
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 Fa efa nosavanao avokoa ny entako rehetra, koa inona no fanaka avy tany an-tranonao hitanao tao? Apetraho eto anatrehan’ ny havako sy ny havanao izany, hitsarany antsika roa lahy,
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 Izao roa-polo taona izao no nitoerako tany aminao; ny ondrivavinao sy ny osivavinao tsy mba namotsotra, ary tsy mba nihinana ny ondrilahy avy tamin’ ny ondrinao aho.
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 Izay voaviraviram-biby tsy mba nentiko tany aminao, fa izaho no nanolo azy; teo an-tanako no nitadiavanao azy, na ny nangalarina andro, na ny nangalarina alina.
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 Nony antoandro matin’ ny hain’ andro aho, ary nony alina dia matin’ ny fanala; ary nandositra ny masoko ny torimaso.
As it was, the heat consumed me by day and the frost by night, and sleep fled from my eyes.
41 Izao roa-polo taona izao no nitoerako tany an-tranonao, ka efatra ambin’ ny folo taona no nanompoako anao hahazoako azy mirahavavy zanakao, ary enin-taona kosa hahazoako ny ondry aman’ osinao, ary efa nanova ny karamako im-polo ianao.
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 Raha tsy Andriamanitry ny raiko, dia Andriamanitr’ i Abrahama, Ilay natahoran’ Isaka, no nomba ahy, dia ho nampandehaninao maina tokoa aho ankehitriny. Andriamanitra efa nitsinjo ny fahoriako sy ny fisasaran’ ny tanako ka nananatra anao halina.
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 Dia namaly Labana ka nanao tamin’ i Jakoba hoe: Ireo zazavavy ireo dia zanako-vavy ary ireo zazalahy ireo dia zanako-lahy; ary ireo ondry aman’ osy ireo dia ondry aman’ osiko; ary izao rehetra hitanao izao dia ahy avokoa; ary ahoana no hataoko anio amin’ ireto zanako-vavy, na amin’ ny zanany naterany?
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 Koa ankehitriny avia hanao fanekena isika, dia izaho sy ianao, ka aoka ho vavolombelona amiko sy aminao izany.
Come now, let us make a covenant, you and I, and let it serve as a witness between you and me.”
45 Dia naka vato iray Jakoba ka nanangana azy ho tsangam-bato.
So Jacob picked out a stone and set it up as a pillar,
46 Ary hoy Jakoba tamin’ ireo havany: Manangòna vato; dia naka vato izy, ka nataony antontany; ary dia nihinana teo anilan’ ny antontam-bato izy rehetra.
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 Ary ny anaran’ ny antontam-bato dia nataon’ i Labana hoe Jegara-sahadota; fa Jakoba kosa nanao azy hoe Galeda.
Laban called it Jegar-sahadutha, and Jacob called it Galeed.
48 Ary hoy Labana: Ity antontam-bato ity no vavolombelona amintsika anio. Izany no nanaovany ny anarany hoe Galeda.
Then Laban declared, “This mound is a witness between you and me this day.” Therefore the place was called Galeed.
49 Ary nataony hoe Mizpa koa izy, fa hoy izy: Jehovah hitazana ahy sy ianao, rehefa tsy mifankahita isika.
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 Raha tahìny hampahory ny zanako-vavy ianao, na hanambady afa-tsy ireo zanako-vavy ireo ihany, tsy misy olona eto amintsika, fa, indro, Andriamanitra no ho vavolombelona amintsika.
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 Ary hoy indray Labana tamin’ i Jakoba: Indro ity antontam-bato ity, ary indro ity tsangam-bato ity izay naoriko eto anelanelantsika, izaho sy ianao;
Laban also said to Jacob, “Here is the mound, and here is the pillar I have set up between you and me.
52 dia aoka ho vavolombelona ity antontam-bato ity, ary aoka ho vavolombelona ity tsangam-bato ity, mba tsy hihoarako ity antontam-bato ity hankany aminao, ary mba tsy hihoaranao ity antontam-bato ity sy ity tsangam-bato ity hankatỳ amiko kosa hanisy ratsy.
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 Ny andriamanitr’ i Abrahama sy ny andriamanitr’ i Nahora, dia ny andriamanitry ny rain’ izy mirahalahy anie hitsara antsika. Fa Ilay natahoran’ i Isaka rainy kosa no nianianan’ i Jakoba.
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 Dia namono zavatra hatao fanatitra teo an-tendrombohitra Jakoba ka nanasa ny havany mba hihinan-kanina; dia nihinana izy ka nitoetra teo an-tendrombohitra nandritra ny alina,
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 Ary nifoha maraina koa Labana, dia nanoroka ny zananilahy sy ny zananivavy ka nitso-drano azy; dia lasa nandeha Labana nody any amin’ ny fonenany.
Early the next morning, Laban got up and kissed his grandchildren and daughters and blessed them. Then he left to return home.
