Uumama 31
1 Yaaqoobis akka ilmaan Laabaa, “Yaaqoob waan abbaan keenya qabu hunda fudhateera; qabeenya kana hundas waanuma kan abbaa keenyaa ture irraa argate” jedhan dhagaʼe.
And he heard the words of Laban's sons, saying, Jacob has taken away all that was our father's; and of that which was our father's has he got all this glory.
2 Yaaqoobis fuula Laabaa ilaale; kunoo fuulli isaa akka duraatti isatti hin tolle.
And Jacob beheld the countenance of Laban, and, behold, it was not toward him as before.
3 Waaqayyos Yaaqoobiin, “Biyya abbaa keetii fi fira keetti deebiʼi; anis si wajjin nan taʼa” jedhe.
And the LORD said unto Jacob, Return unto the land of your fathers, and to your kindred; and I will be with you.
4 Kanaafuu Yaaqoob akka isaan bakkeetti lafa bushaayeen isaa jiranitti gad baʼaniif gara Raahelii fi Liyaatti ergaa erge.
And Jacob sent and called Rachel and Leah to the field unto his flock,
5 Innis akkana isaaniin jedhe; “Ani akka abbaan keessan akka kanaan duraa sana fuula natti hin tolle hubadheera; garuu Waaqni abbaa kootii na wajjin jira.
And said unto them, I see your father's countenance, that it is not toward me as before; but the God of my father has been with me.
6 Akka ani humna koo guutuudhaan abbaa keessaniif hojjedhe isinuu beektu;
And all of you know that with all my power I have served your father.
7 taʼus abbaan keessan mindaa koo yeroo kudhan geeddaruudhaan na gowwoomse. Waaqni garuu akka inni na miidhu hin eeyyamneef.
And your father has deceived me, and changed my wages ten times; but God suffered him not to hurt me.
8 Yeroo inni, ‘Bushaayeen cocorreen mindaa kee taʼu’ jedhetti, bushaayeen hundi ilmaan cocorree dhalan; yeroo inni, ‘warri halluu qaxxaamuroo qaban mindaa kee taʼu’ jedhetti immoo bushaayeen hundi ilmaan qaxxaamuroo qaban dhalan.
If he said thus, The speckled shall be your wages; then all the cattle bare speckled: and if he said thus, The striped with bands shall be your hire; then bare all the cattle striped with bands.
9 Waaqni karaa kanaan horii abbaa keessanii fuudhee naa kenne.
Thus God has taken away the cattle of your father, and given them to me.
10 “Anis gaaf tokko waqtii gaana bushaayeetti abjuu keessa ol ilaalee kunoo korbeeyyiin reʼootatti hobobsan akka halluu qaxxaamuroo qaban, cocorree fi buburree taʼan nan arge.
And it came to pass at the time that the cattle conceived, that I lifted up mine eyes, and saw in a dream, and, behold, the rams which leaped upon the cattle were striped with bands, speckled, and greyed.
11 Ergamaan Waaqayyoos abjuu keessa, ‘Yaaqoob’ naan jedhe. Ani, ‘Kunoo asan jira’ jedheen deebise.
And the angel of God spoke unto me in a dream, saying, Jacob: And I said, Here am I.
12 Inni immoo akkana naan jedhe; ‘Akka korbeeyyiin reʼootaa kanneen bushaayeetti hobobsan hundinuu halluu qaxxaamuroo qaban, cocorree fi buburree taʼan ol jedhii ilaali. Ani waan Laabaan sitti hojjete hunda argeeraatii.
And he said, Lift up now your eyes, and see, all the rams which leap upon the cattle are striped with bands, speckled, and greyed: for I have seen all that Laban does unto you.
13 Ani Waaqa Beetʼeel lafa ati itti utubaa dibdee wareega naaf wareegde sanaa ti. Amma kaʼiitii biyya kana keessaa baʼiitii gara biyya fira keetiitti deebiʼi.’”
I am the God of Bethel, where you anointed the pillar, and where you vowed a vow unto me: now arise, get you out from this land, and return unto the land of your kindred.
14 Kana irratti Raahelii fi Liyaan akkana jedhanii deebisan; “Qoodni yookaan dhaalli mana abbaa keenyaatti nuu hafe jiraa?
And Rachel and Leah answered and said unto him, Is there yet any portion or inheritance for us in our father's house?
15 Inni akkuma ormaatti nu ilaala mitii? Inni nu gurgurateeraatii maallaqa sababii keenyaaf kenname nyaatee fixeera.
Are we not counted of him strangers? for he has sold us, and has quite devoured also our money.
16 Qabeenyi Waaqni abbaa keenya irraa fuudhe hundi kan keenyaa fi kan ijoollee keenyaa ti. Egaa waan Waaqni sitti hime hunda godhi.”
For all the riches which God has taken from our father, that is ours, and our children's: now then, whatsoever God has said unto you, do.
17 Yaaqoobis ijoollee isaatii fi niitota isaa gaalawwan irra kaaʼate;
Then Jacob rose up, and set his sons and his wives upon camels;
18 horii fi qabeenya kaaba dhiʼa Phaadaan Arraamiitti horatte hunda of dura oofee gara biyya Kanaʼaan abbaa isaa Yisihaaq bira dhaquuf kaʼe.
And he carried away all his cattle, and all his goods which he had got, the cattle of his getting, which he had got in Padanaram, in order to go to Isaac his father in the land of Canaan.
19 Laabaan hoolota isaa irraa rifeensa murmuruu dhaqe; Raahel immoo waaqota abbaa ishee hatte.
And Laban went to shear his sheep: and Rachel had stolen the images that were her father's.
20 Yaaqoobis akka isa dhiisee baqachuu yaade isa dhoksuudhaan Laabaan namicha Arraam sana gowwoomse.
And Jacob stole away unexpectedly to Laban the Syrian, in that he told him not that he fled.
21 Innis waan qabu hunda fudhatee baqate; laga Efraaxiis ceʼee biyya gaara Giliʼaaditti qajeele.
So he fled with all that he had; and he rose up, and passed over the river, and set his face toward the mount Gilead.
22 Akka Yaaqoob baqate guyyaa sadaffaatti Laabaatti himame.
And it was told Laban on the third day that Jacob was fled.
23 Laabaanis firoota isaa fudhatee guyyaa torba Yaaqoob duukaa buʼee biyya gaara Giliʼaaditti isa qaqqabe.
And he took his brethren with him, and pursued after him seven days' journey; and they overtook him in the mount Gilead.
24 Waaqnis halkan abjuudhaan gara Laabaan namicha biyya Arraam sanaa dhufee, “Ati waan gaariis taʼu hamaa tokko iyyuu Yaaqoobitti akka hin dubbanne of eeggadhu” isaan jedhe.
And God came to Laban the Syrian in a dream by night, and said unto him, Take heed that you speak not to Jacob either good or bad.
25 Yaaqoob yeroo Laabaan isa qaqqabetti, biyya gaaraa Giliʼaad keessa dunkaana isaa dhaabbatee ture; Laabaa fi firoonni isaas achi qubatan.
Then Laban overtook Jacob. Now Jacob had pitched his tent in the mount: and Laban with his brethren pitched in the mount of Gilead.
26 Laabaanis Yaaqoobiin akkana jedhe; “Ati na gowwoomsitee intallan koo akka boojiʼamtoota waraanaatti fudhattee deemuun kee maal gochuu kee ti?
And Laban said to Jacob, What have you done, that you have stolen away unexpectedly to me, and carried away my daughters, as captives taken with the sword?
27 Ati maaliif dhoksaan baqatte? Maaliifis na gowwoomsite? Akka ani gammachuu fi faarfannaadhaan, dibbee fi baganaadhaan si geggeessuuf maaliif natti himuu didde?
Wherefore did you flee away secretly, and steal away from me; and did not tell me, that I might have sent you away with delight, and with songs, with timbrel, and with harp?
28 Ati akka ani ijoollee ijoollee kootiitii fi intallan koo dhungadhee nagaatti jedhu naaf hin eeyyamne. Ati hojii gowwummaa hojjete.
And have not suffered me to kiss my sons and my daughters? you have now done foolishly in so doing.
29 Ani isin miidhuuf humna qaba; garuu eda Waaqni abbaa keessanii, ‘Ati waan gaariis taʼu hamaa tokko illee Yaaqoobitti akka hin dubbanne of eeggadhu’ naan jedhe.
It is in the power of my hand to do you hurt: but the God of your father spoke unto me last night, saying, Take you heed that you speak not to Jacob either good or bad.
30 Ati sababii mana abbaa keetiitti deebiʼuu akka malee hawwiteef deemteerta; garuu maaliif waaqota koo hatte?”
And now, though you would essentially be gone, because you sore longed after your father's house, yet wherefore have you stolen my gods?
31 Yaaqoobis akkana jedhee Laabaaf deebii kenne; “Ati intallan kee humnaan narraa fudhatta jedhee waanan sodaadheef nan deeme.
And Jacob answered and said to Laban, Because I was afraid: for I said, Possibly you would take by force your daughters from me.
32 Namni ati waaqota kee isa biratti argattu jiraachuu hin qabu. Akka wanni kan kee taʼe na bira jiruu fi akka hin jirre atuu fuula firoota keenyaa duratti sakattaʼi; yoo jiraate immoo fudhadhu.” Yaaqoob Raahel waaqota sana hattuu ishee Yaaqoob hin beeku ture.
With whomsoever you find your gods, let him not live: before our brethren discern you what is your with me, and take it to you. For Jacob knew not that Rachel had stolen them.
33 Laabaanis dunkaana Yaaqoob, dunkaana Liyaatii fi dunkaana xomboreewwan lamaanii seenee homaa dhabe. Erga dunkaana Liyaatii baʼee booddees dunkaana Raahel seene.
And Laban went into Jacob's tent, and into Leah's tent, and into the two maidservants' tents; but he found them not. Then went he out of Leah's tent, and entered into Rachel's tent.
34 Raahel immoo waaqota mana keessaa hatte sana kooraa gaalawwan ishee jala keessee irra taaʼaa turte. Laabaanis waan dunkaanicha keessa jiru hunda keessa barbaade; garuu homaa hin arganne.
Now Rachel had taken the images, and put them in the camel's furniture, and sat upon them. And Laban searched all the tent, but found them not.
35 Raahelis abbaa isheetiin, “Yaa gooftaa ko, sababii ani kaʼee fuula kee dura dhaabachuu dadhabeef hin aarin; ani xuriin of irraa qabaa” jette. Innis ni sakattaʼe malee waaqota sana hin arganne.
And she said to her father, Let it not displease my lord that I cannot rise up before you; for the custom of women is upon me. And he searched but found not the images.
36 Yaaqoobis Laabaatti aaree isatti dheekkame. Innis akkana jedhee gaafate; “Yakki koo maali? Wanni ati akkana na adamsituuf ani cubbuu maalii hojjedheeti?
And Jacob was angry, and find fault with Laban: and Jacob answered and said to Laban, What is my trespass? what is my sin, that you have so hotly pursued after me?
37 Ati miʼa koo hunda sakattaateerta; egaa miʼa mana keetii keessaa maal argatte? Yoo jiraate firoota keetii fi firoota koo duratti dhiʼeessiitii isaan nu lamaan gidduutti murtii haa kennan.
Whereas you have searched all my stuff, what have you found of all your household stuff? set it here before my brethren and your brethren, that they may judge between us both.
38 “Ani waggoota digdaman kana si wajjin jiraadheera. Hoolonnii fi reʼoonni kee tokko iyyuu hin gatanne; ani bushaayee kee keessaas korbeeyyii hin nyaanne.
This twenty years have I been with you; your ewes and your she goats have not cast their young, and the rams of your flock have I not eaten.
39 Ani horii bineensi cabse gara keetti hin fidne; horii bades anatu kaffalaa ture. Waan guyyaas taʼu halkan hatame hundaaf ati na kaffalchiifatta turte.
That which was torn of beasts I brought not unto you; I bare the loss of it; of my hand did you require it, whether stolen by day, or stolen by night.
40 Haalli ani keessa jiraadhe kana ture; guyyaa hoʼa, halkan immoo dhaamochatu na waxala ture; hirribnis ija koo irraa bade.
Thus I was; in the day the drought consumed me, and the frost by night; and my sleep departed from mine eyes.
41 Akkasiin ani waggoota digdamman kana mana kee ture. Ani waggaa kudha afur intallan kee lamaaniif jedhee, waggaa jaʼa immoo bushaayee keetiif jedhee siif hojjedheera; ati immoo yeroo kudhan mindaa koo geeddarte.
Thus have I been twenty years in your house; I served you fourteen years for your two daughters, and six years for your cattle: and you have changed my wages ten times.
42 Waaqni abbaa ko, Waaqni Abrahaam, Sodaan Yisihaaq utuu na wajjin jiraachuu baate ati silaa harka duwwaa na baasta turte. Waaqni garuu rakkina koo fi dadhabbii koo argee eda sitti dheekkame.”
Except the God of my father, the God of Abraham, and the fear of Isaac, had been with me, surely you had sent me away now empty. God has seen mine affliction and the labour of my hands, and rebuked you last night.
43 Laabaan akkana jedhee Yaaqoobiif deebise; “Dubartoonni kunneen intallan koo ti; ijoolleen kunneenis ijoolluma koo ti; bushaayeen kunneenis bushaayee koo ti. Wanni ati argitu hundi kanuma koo ti. Yoos ani waaʼee intallan koo kanneeniitii fi waaʼee ijoollee isaan daʼanii harʼa maal gochuun dandaʼa?
And Laban answered and said unto Jacob, These daughters are my daughters, and these children are my children, and these cattle are my cattle, and all that you see is mine: and what can I do this day unto these my daughters, or unto their children which they have born?
44 Kottu mee anii fi ati amma walii kakannaa; kakuun kunis anaa fi si gidduutti ragaa haa taʼu.”
Now therefore come you, let us make a covenant, I and you; and let it be for a witness between me and you.
45 Yaaqoobis dhagaa tokko fuudhee akka utubaatti dhaabe.
And Jacob took a stone, and set it up for a pillar.
46 Innis firoota isaatiin, “Dhagaa walitti qabaa” jedhe. Isaanis dhagaa walitti qabanii tuulan; jarris tuullaa sana biratti nyaata nyaatan.
And Jacob said unto his brethren, Gather stones; and they took stones, and made an heap: and they did eat there upon the heap.
47 Laabaan tuullaa sanaan “Yigaarsahaadutaa” jedhee moggaase; Yaaqoob immoo “Giliʼaad” jedheen.
And Laban called it Jegarsahadutha: but Jacob called it Galeed.
48 Laabaanis, “Tuullaan kun anaa fi si gidduutti ragaa dha” jedhe. Gaalaʼaad jedhamuun isaa kanumaaf.
And Laban said, This heap is a witness between me and you this day. Therefore was the name of it called Galeed;
49 Akkasumas Miisphaa jedhame; Laabaan akkana jedhee tureetii; “Yeroo nu gargar baanutti Waaqayyo sii fi ana gidduutti eegduu haa taʼu.
And Mizpah; for he said, The LORD watch between me and you, when we are absent one from another.
50 Yoo ati intallan koo rakkifte yookaan yoo ati intallan koo irratti niitota biraa fuute, yoo namni tokko iyyuu nu bira hin jirre kunoo Waaqni anaa fi siʼi gidduutti ragaa dha.”
If you shall afflict my daughters, or if you shall take other wives beside my daughters, no man is with us; see, God is witness between me and you.
51 Laabaan ammas Yaaqoobiin akkana jedhe; “Tuullaa kanaa fi utubaa ani sii fi ana gidduu dhaabe kana ilaali.
And Laban said to Jacob, Behold this heap, and behold this pillar, which I have cast between me and you:
52 Akka ani si miidhuuf jedhee tuullaa kana darbee gara keetti hin ceene, akka atis na miidhuuf jettee tuullaa kanaa fi utubaa kana dabartee gara kootti hin ceene tuullaan kun ragaa dha; utubaan kunis ragaa dha.
This heap be witness, and this pillar be witness, that I will not pass over this heap to you, and that you shall not pass over this heap and this pillar unto me, for harm.
53 Waaqni Abrahaam, Waaqni Naahoor, Waaqni abbootii isaanii nu gidduutti murtii haa kennu.” Yaaqoobis akkasitti maqaa Sodaa abbaa isaa Yisihaaqiin kakate.
The God of Abraham, and the God of Nahor, the God of their father, judge between us. And Jacob swore by the fear of his father Isaac.
54 Innis biyya gaaraa sanatti aarsaa dhiʼeessee firoota isaa nyaatatti waame. Isaanis erga nyaatanii booddee achuma bulan.
Then Jacob offered sacrifice upon the mount, and called his brethren to eat bread: and they did eat bread, and tarried all night in the mount.
55 Laabaanis guyyaa itti aanu ganama bariidhaan kaʼee ijoollee ijoollee isaatii fi intallan isaa dhungatee isaan eebbise. Ergasiis achii kaʼee gara iddoo isaatti deebiʼe.
And early in the morning Laban rose up, and kissed his sons and his daughters, and blessed them: and Laban departed, and returned unto his place.
