Kenehi 31

1 A i rongo ia i nga kupu a nga tama a Rapana, e ki ana, Kua riro i a Hakopa nga mea katoa a to tatou papa; na nga mea hoki a to tatou papa i whiwhi ai ia ki tenei kororia katoa.

And Jacob heard the words of the sons of Laban, saying, Jacob has taken all that was our father's, and of our father's property has he gotten all this glory.

2 A ka titiro a Hakopa ki te mata o Rapanga, na, kihai i pera ki a ia me to era rangi ake.

And Jacob saw the countenance of Laban, and behold it was not towards him as before.

3 A ka mea a Ihowa ki a Hakopa, E hoki ki te whenua o ou matua, ki ou whanaunga hoki; a ka tata ahau ki a koe.

And the Lord said to Jacob, Return to the land of your father, and to your family, and I will be with you.

4 Na ka tono tangata a Hakopa hei karanga i a Rahera raua ko Rea ki tana kahui, ki te parae,

And Jacob sent and called Lea and Rachel to the plain where the flocks were.

5 A ka mea ia ki a raua, E kite ana ahau i te mata o to korua papa, kahore e pera mai ki ahau me to era rangi ake; otiia i tata mai ki ahau te Atua o toku papa.

And he said to them, I see the face of your father, that it is not towards me as before, but the God of my father was with me.

6 E mohio ana ano korua, i poto katoa atu toku kaha ki taku mahi ki to korua papa.

And you too know that with all my might I have served your father.

7 Ko to korua papa ia i tinihanga ki ahau, ka tekau rawa ana whakaputanga ketanga i oku utu; otiia kihai ia i tukua e te Atua kia tukino i ahau.

But your father deceived me, and changed my wages for the ten lambs, yet God gave him not [power] to hurt me.

8 Mehemea i korero penei ia, Hei nga mea whai tongitongi te utu mou; na, he mea tongitongi katoa nga whanau o nga kahui: a, mehemea ia i ki penei, Hei nga mea whakahekeheke he utu mou, na, he whakahekeheke katoa nga whanau o nga kahui.

If he should say thus, The speckled shall be your reward, then all the cattle would bear speckled; and if he should say, The white shall be your reward, then would all the cattle bear white.

9 Koia i tangohia ai e Ihowa nga hipi a to korua papa, a homai ana ki ahau.

So God has taken away all the cattle of your father, and given them to me.

10 Na, i te wa i whakahaputia ai te kahui, ka maranga ake oku kanohi, a ka kite moemoea ahau, ko nga toa i ekengia ai nga kahui, he whakahekeheke, he mea whai tongitongi, he mea kotingotingo.

And it came to pass when the cattle conceived and were with young, that I saw with mine eyes in sleep, and behold the he-goats and the rams leaping on the sheep and the she-goats, speckled and variegated and spotted with ash-coloured spots.

11 I korero moemoea mai ano te anahera a te Atua ki ahau, E Hakopa: a ka mea atu ahau, Tenei ahau.

And the angel of God said to me in a dream, Jacob; and I said, What is it?

12 Na ka mea mai ia, Tena, whakaarahia ake ou kanohi, ka titiro ki nga toa katoa e ekeeke ana i nga kahui, he whakahekeheke, he whai tongitongi, he kotingotingo hoki: kua kite hoki ahau i nga mea katoa i mea nei a Rapana ki a koe.

And he said, Look up with your eyes, and behold the he-goats and the rams leaping on the sheep and the she-goats, speckled and variegated and spotted with ash-coloured spots; for I have seen all things that Laban does to you.

13 Ko ahau te Atua o Peteere, o te wahi i whakawahi na koe i te pou, i puaki ai hoki tau kupu taurangi ki ahau: kati, whakatika, haere atu i tenei whenua, hoki atu ki te whenua i whanau ai koe.

I am God that appeared to you in the place of God where you anointed a pillar to me, and vowed to me there a vow; now then arise and depart out of this land, depart into the land of your nativity, and I will be with you.

14 Na ka whakahoki a Rahera raua ko Rea, ka mea ki a ia, Tera atu ano ianei tetahi wahi, tetahi taonga tupu ranei mo maua i roto i te whare o to maua papa?

And Rachel and Lea answered and said to him, Have we yet a part or inheritance in the house of our father?

15 Kahore ianei maua i te kiia e ia he wahine ke noa atu? kua hokona nei hoki maua e ia, kua pau rawa ano i a ia a maua moni.

Are we not considered strangers by him? for he has sold us, and quite devoured our money.

16 Mo tatou nei hoki, mo a tatou tamariki nga taonga katoa i tangohia nei e te atua i to maua papa: na, tena, meatia nga mea katoa i kiia e te Atua ki a koe.

All the wealth and the glory which God has taken from our father, it shall be our's and our children's; now then do whatever God has said to you.

17 Na ka whakatika a Hakopa, a whakaekea ana e ia ana tamariki me ana wahine ki runga ki nga kamera;

And Jacob arose and took his wives and his children up on the camels;

18 A kawhakina atu ana e ia ana kararehe katoa, me ona taonga katoa i whiwhi ai ia, nga kararehe i whiwhi ai ia, i riro hoki i a ia i Paranaarama, a haere ana ki a Ihaka, ki tona papa, ki te whenua o Kanaana.

and he took away all his possessions and all his store, which he had gotten in Mesopotamia, and all that belonged to him, to depart to Isaac his father in the land of Chanaan.

19 Na ko Rapana kua riro ki te kutikuti i ana hipi: katahi ka tahaetia e Rahera nga whakapakoko a tona papa.

And Laban went to shear his sheep; and Rachel stole her father's images.

20 Na tahuti ana a Hakopa i a Rapana Hiriani, kihai hoki i whakaaturia tona omanga ki a ia.

And Jacob hid [the matter from] Laban the Syrian, so as not to tell him that he ran away.

21 Na ka oma ia, me ana mea katoa; i whakatika ia, ka whiti i te awa, i ahu hoki tona mata ki te maunga, ki Kireara.

And he departed himself and all that belonged to him, and passed over the river, and went into the mountain Galaad.

22 A i te toru o nga ra ka korerotia ki a Rapana, kua oma a Hakopa.

But it was told Laban the Syrian on the third day, that Jacob was fled.

23 Na ka tango ia i ona teina hei hoa mona, a ka wahi i a ia, e whitu nga ra ki te ara; a mau atu ia i a ia ki Maunga Kirera.

And having taken his brethren with him, he pursued after him seven days' journey, and overtook him on Mount Galaad.

24 Na ka puta moemoea te Atua ki a Rapana Hiriani i te po, ka mea ki a ia, Kia tupato kei korero koe ki a Hakopa, ahakoa pai, ahakoa kino.

And God came to Laban the Syrian in sleep by night, and said to him, Take heed to yourself that you speak not at any time to Jacob evil things.

25 Na ka mau a Hakopa i a Rapana, Na tera kua whakaturia e Hakopa tona teneti ki te maunga: heoi whakaturia ana hoki e Rapana ratou ko ona teina ki Maunga Kirera.

And Laban overtook Jacob; and Jacob pitched his tent in the mountain; and Laban stationed his brothers in the mount Galaad.

26 Na ka mea a Rapana ki a Hakopa, He mahi aha tau, i tahuti mai nei koe i ahau, i kahaki mai nei hoki i aku tamahine, ano he parau na te hoari?

And Laban said to Jacob, What have you done? therefore did you run away secretly, and pillage me, and lead away my daughters as captives taken with the sword?

27 He aha i huna ai e koe tou omanga, i tahuti mai ai i ahau; a kihai i korero mai ki ahau, kia tukua ai koe e ahau i runga i te hari, i nga waiata, i te timipera, i te hapa;

Whereas if you had told me, I would have sent you away with mirth, and with songs, and timbrels, and harp.

28 Kihai ano ahau i tukua e koe kia kihi i aku tama, i aku tamahine? he mahi poauau tenei mahi au.

And I was not counted worthy to embrace my children and my daughters; now then you have wrought foolishly.

29 He kaha kei toku ringa hei whakatupu kino i a koutou: otiia kua korero mai te Atua o to koutou papa ki ahau inapo, kua mea mai, Kia tupato kei korero atu koe, ahakoa pai, ahakoa kino, ki a Hakopa.

And now my hand has power to hurt you; but the God of your father spoke to me yesterday, saying, Take heed to yourself that you speak not evil words to Jacob.

30 Na, ahakoa i whakamatea e koe tou haere, no te mea i koroa e koe te whare o tou papa, he aha ra koe i tahae ai i oku atua?

Now then go on your way, for you have earnestly desired to depart to the house of your father; therefore have you stolen my gods?

31 Na ka whakahoki a Hakopa, ka mea ki a Rapana, No te mea hoki i wehi ahau: i mea hoki ahau, Kei tangohia e koe au tamahine i ahau.

And Jacob answered and said to Laban, Because I was afraid; for I said, Lest at any time you should take away your daughters from me, and all my possessions.

32 Ko te tangata e kitea e koe ou atua i a ia, kaua ia e whakaorangia: tirohia iho e koe i te aroaro o o taua teina ko ehea mea au kei ahau, ka tango atu ai mau. Kihai hoki a Hakopa i mohio, kua tahaetia aua mea e Rahera.

And Jacob said, With whoever you shall find your gods, he shall not live in the presence of our brethren; take notice of what I have of your property, and take it; and he observed nothing with him, but Jacob knew not that his wife Rachel had stolen them.

33 Na ka haere a Rapana ki te teneti o Hakopa, ki te teneti hoki o Rea, ki te teneti ano hoki o nga pononga wahine tokorua; a kihai i kitea. A ka puta atu ia i te teneti o Rea, a ka tomo atu ki te teneti o Rahera.

And Laban went in and searched in the house of Lea, and found [them] not; and he went out of the house of Lea, and searched in the house of Jacob, and in the house of the two maidservants, and found them not; and he went also into the house of Rachel.

34 Na tera kua tikina nga whakapakoko e Rahera, kua whaongia ki roto ki te nohoanga kamera, a nohoia iho e ia. Na poto katoa te teneti te whawha e Rapana, a kihai i kitea.

And Rachel took the idols, and cast them amongst the camel's packs, and sat upon them.

35 Na ka mea ia ki tona papa, Kei riri mai toku ariki moku e kore e ahei te whakatika ake ki tou aroaro; no te mea ko to te wahine mate tenei kei ahau. Na rapu noa ia, kihai i kitea nga whakapakoko.

And she said to her father, Be not indignant, Sir; I can’t rise up before you, for it is with me according to the manner of women. Laban searched in all the house, and found not the images.

36 Na ka riri a Hakopa, ka ngangare ki a Rapana: a ka oho a Hakopa, ka mea ki a Rapana, He aha toku hara? he aha toku he, i takare ai koe ki te whai mai i ahau?

And Jacob was angry, and strove with Laban; and Jacob answered and said to Laban, What is my injustice, and what my sin, that you have pursued after me,

37 Kua whawhakia nei e koe aku mea katoa, he aha te mea i kitea e koe o nga mea katoa o tou whare? Homai ki konei ki te aroaro o oku teina, o ou teina, ma ratou e whakariterite ta taua whakawa.

and that you have searched all the furniture of my house? what have you found of all the furniture of your house? set it here between your relations and my relations, and let them decide between us two.

38 Ka rua tekau enei tau oku ki a koe; kihai i whanau whakatahe au hipi, au koati, kihai ano i kainga e ahau nga hipi toa o tau kahui.

These twenty years have I been with you; your sheep, and your she-goats have not failed in bearing; I devoured not the rams of your cattle.

39 Ko te mea i haea e nga kirehe mohoao kihai i kawea e ahau ki a koe; naku ano tena i whakautu; i rapu utu ano koe mo tena i toku ringa, ahakoa mo te mea i tahaetia i te awatea, mo te mea ranei i tahaetia i te po.

That which was taken of beasts I brought not to you; I made good of myself the thefts of the day, and the thefts of the night.

40 Ko taku hanga tena; i te awatea i pau ahau i te matewai, i te po i te huka; a turere ana te moe i oku kanohi.

I was parched with heat by day, and [chilled] with frost by night, and my sleep departed from my eyes.

41 Ka rua tekau enei tau oku ki tou whare; kotahi tekau ma wha nga tau i mahi ai ahau ki a koe mo au tamahine tokorua, e ono tau hoki mo au hipi: a ka tekau au whakaputanga ketanga i nga utu moku.

These twenty years have I been in your house; I served you fourteen years for your two daughters, and six years amongst your sheep, and you did falsely rate my wages for ten lambs.

42 Me i kahore i tata mai ki ahau te Atua o toku papa, te Atua o Aperahama, te Wehi hoki o Ihaka, ina kua tonoa kautia mai ahau e koe. I kite mai te Atua i toku tukinotanga, i te mahi hoki a oku ringa, i riria ai koe e ia inapo.

Unless I had the God of my father Abraam, and the fear of Isaac, now you would have sent me away empty; God saw my humiliation, and the labour of my hands, and rebuked you yesterday.

43 Na ko te whakahokinga a Rapana, ko te meatanga ki a Hakopa, He tamahine naku enei tamahine, he tamariki ano naku enei tamariki, he kahui ano hoki naku enei kahui, a ko nga mea katoa e kite nei koe, naku: a he aha taku e mea ai akuanei ki enei ta mahine aku, ki a raua tamariki ranei i whanau nei i a raua?

And Laban answered and said to Jacob, The daughters are my daughters, and the sons my sons, and the cattle are my cattle, and all things which you see are mine, and [the property] of my daughters; what shall I do to them today, or their children which they bore?

44 Na, tena, haere mai, kia whakarite kawenata taua, a koe me ahau; a ka waiho hei kaiwhakaatu ki a taua.

Now then come, let me make a covenant, both I and you, and it shall be for a witness between me and you; and he said to him, Behold, there is no one with us; behold, God is witness between me and you.

45 Na ka tikina tetahi kohatu e Hakopa, a whakaarahia ake e ia hei pou.

And Jacob having taken a stone, set it up for a pillar.

46 A ka mea a Hakopa ki ona teina, Kohia mai he kohatu; na ka tikina atu e ratou etahi kohatu, ka hanga he puranga: a kai ana ratou ki reira ki runga ki te puranga.

And Jacob said to his brethren, Gather stones; and they gathered stones and made a heap, and ate there upon the heap; and Laban said to him, This heap witnesses between me and you today.

47 A huaina iho taua mea e Rapana ko Iekarahaharuta: na Hakopa ia i hua ko Kareere.

And Laban called it, the Heap of Testimony; and Jacob called it, the Witness Heap.

48 Na ka mea a Rapana, Hei kaiwhakaatu tenei puranga i tenei ra ki a taua. Na reira i huaina ai tona ingoa ko Kareere;

And Laban said to Jacob, Behold this heap, and the pillar, which I have set between me and you; this heap witnesses, and this pillar witnesses; therefore its name was called, the Heap witnesses.

49 Ko Mihipa hoki; i mea hoki ia, Ma Ihowa e titiro mai ki a taua, ina matara atu taua i a taua.

And the vision of which he said—Let God look to it between me and you, because we are about to depart from each other, —

50 Ki te tukino koe i aku tamahine, ki te tango ranei i etahi wahine ke atu i aku tamahine, kahore he tangata i a taua; kia mahara, hei kaititiro te Atua ki ahau, ki a koe.

If you shall humble my daughters, if you should take wives in addition to my daughters, see, there is no one with us looking on. God [is] witness between me and you.

51 I mea ano a Rapana ki a Hakopa, Titiro ki tenei puranga, a titiro hoki ki tenei pou i waiho iho nei e ahau i waenganui i a taua;

And Laban said to Jacob, Behold, this heap, and this pillar are a witness.

52 Hei kaiwhakaatu tenei puranga, hei kaiwhakaatu ano hoki tenei pou, moku kei haere ki tua atu o tenei puranga ki a koe, mou hoki kei haere ake ki ahau ki tua o tenei puranga, o tenei pou hoki, mo te kino.

For if I should not cross over to you, neither should you cross over to me, for mischief beyond this heap and this pillar.

53 Ma te Atua o Aperahama, ma te Atua hoki o Nahora, ma te Atua o to raua papa, e whakarite ta taua whakawa. Na ka oatitia e Hakopa te Wehi o tona papa, o Ihaka.

The God of Abraam and the God of Nachor judge between us; and Jacob swore by the Fear of his father Isaac.

54 Na patua ana e Hakopa he patunga tapu ki runga ki te maunga, a karangatia ana e ia ona teina ki te kai taro: na ka kai taro ratou, a ka moe ki te maunga.

And he offered a sacrifice in the mountain, and called his brethren, and they ate and drank, and slept in the mountain.

55 A ka maranga wawe a Rapana i te ata, ka kihi i ana tama, i ana tamahine, ka manaaki hoki i a ratou: na haere ana a Rapana, hoki ana ki tona wahi.

And Laban rose up in the morning, and kissed his sons and his daughters, and blessed them; and Laban having turned back, departed to his place.
