Бытие 31

1 И услышал Иаков слова сынов Лавановых, которые говорили: Иаков завладел всем, что было у отца нашего, и из имения отца нашего составил все богатство сие.

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 И увидел Иаков лице Лавана, и вот, оно не таково к нему, как было вчера и третьего дня.

And Jacob noticed that Laban was not acting friendly toward him as he had done before.

3 И сказал Господь Иакову: возвратись в землю отцов твоих и на родину твою; и Я буду с тобою.

Then Yahweh said to Jacob, “Go back to your country and your relatives, and I will help you there.”

4 И послал Иаков, и призвал Рахиль и Лию в поле, к стаду мелкого скота своего,

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 и сказал им: я вижу лице отца вашего, что оно ко мне не таково, как было вчера и третьего дня; но Бог отца моего был со мною;

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 вы сами знаете, что я всеми силами служил отцу вашему,

You two know that I have worked very hard for your father,

7 а отец ваш обманывал меня и раз десять переменял награду мою; но Бог не попустил ему сделать мне зло.

but many times [HYP] he has cheated me by decreasing my wages. But God has not allowed him to harm me.

8 Когда сказал он, что скот с крапинами будет тебе в награду, то скот весь родил с крапинами. А когда он сказал: пестрые будут тебе в награду, то скот весь и родил пестрых.

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 И отнял Бог весь скот у отца вашего и дал его мне.

In that way, God has taken away the livestock that belonged to your father and has given them to me.

10 Однажды в такое время, когда скот зачинает, я взглянул и увидел во сне, и вот козлы и овны, поднявшиеся на скот на коз и овец пестрые, с крапинами и пятнами.

“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 Ангел Божий сказал мне во сне: Иаков! Я сказал: вот я.

An angel who was sent by God said to me in the dream, ‘Jacob!’ I replied, ‘I am here!’

12 Он сказал: возведи очи твои и посмотри: все козлы и овны, поднявшиеся на скот на коз и овец, пестрые, с крапинами и с пятнами, ибо Я вижу все, что Лаван делает с тобою;

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 Я Бог явившийся тебе в Вефиле, где ты возлил елей на памятник и где ты дал Мне обет; теперь встань, выйди из земли сей и возвратись в землю родины твоей и Я буду с тобою.

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 Рахиль и Лия сказали ему в ответ: есть ли еще нам доля и наследство в доме отца нашего?

Rachel and Leah replied, “Our father will not give us anything more when he dies [RHQ].

15 не за чужих ли он нас почитает? ибо он продал нас и съел даже серебро наше;

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 посему все имение и богатство, которое Бог отнял у отца нашего, есть наше и детей наших; итак делай все, что Бог сказал тебе.

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 И встал Иаков, и посадил детей своих и жен своих на верблюдов,

Then Jacob put his children and his wives on camels.

18 и взял с собою весь скот свой и все богатство свое, которое приобрел, скот собственный его, который он приобрел в Месопотамии, и все свое, чтобы идти к Исааку, отцу своему, в землю Ханаанскую.

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 И как Лаван пошел стричь скот свой, то Рахиль похитила идолов, которые были у отца ее.

Before they left, while Laban was shearing his sheep, Rachel stole the [small wooden] idols [that were in her father’s tent].

20 Иаков же похитил сердце у Лавана Арамеянина, потому что не известил его, что удаляется.

Furthermore, Jacob deceived Laban, who belonged to the Aram people-group, by not telling him that they were planning to leave.

21 И ушел со всем, что у него было; и, встав, перешел реку и направился к горе Галаад.

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 На третий день сказали Лавану Арамеянину, что Иаков ушел.

On the third day after they left, someone told Laban that Jacob and his family had left.

23 Тогда он взял с собою сынов и родственников своих, и гнался за ним семь дней, и догнал его на горе Галаад.

So he took some of his relatives with him and started to pursue Jacob. They continued walking for seven days.

24 И пришел Бог к Лавану Арамеянину ночью во сне и сказал ему: берегись, не говори Иакову ни доброго, ни худого.

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 И догнал Лаван Иакова; Иаков же поставил шатер свой на горе, и Лаван со сродниками своими поставил на горе Галаад.

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 И сказал Лаван Иакову: что ты сделал? для чего ты обманул меня, и увел дочерей моих, как плененных оружием?

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 зачем ты убежал тайно, и укрылся от меня, и не сказал мне? я отпустил бы тебя с веселием и с песнями, с тимпаном и с гуслями;

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 ты не позволил мне даже поцеловать внуков моих и дочерей моих; безрассудно ты сделал.

(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 Есть в руке моей сила сделать вам зло; но Бог отца вашего вчера говорил ко мне и сказал: берегись, не говори Иакову ни хорошего, ни худого.

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 Но пусть бы ты ушел, потому что ты нетерпеливо захотел быть в доме отца твоего, - зачем ты украл богов моих?

Now, I know you have left because you long to go back home. But why did you steal my [wooden] idols?”

31 Иаков отвечал Лавану и сказал: я боялся, ибо я думал, не отнял бы ты у меня дочерей своих.

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 И сказал Иаков: у кого найдешь богов твоих, тот не будет жив; при родственниках наших узнавай, что есть твоего у меня, и возьми себе. Иаков не знал, что Рахиль, жена его, украла их.

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 И ходил Лаван в шатер Иакова, и в шатер Лии, и в шатер двух рабынь, и обыскивал, но не нашел. И, выйдя из шатра Лии, вошел в шатер Рахили.

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 Рахиль же взяла идолов, и положила их под верблюжье седло, и села на них. И обыскал Лаван весь шатер; но не нашел.

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 Она же сказала отцу своему: да не прогневается господин мой, что я не могу встать пред тобою, ибо у меня обыкновенное женское. И Лаван искал во всем шатре, но не нашел идолов.

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 Иаков рассердился и вступил в спор с Лаваном. И начал Иаков говорить и сказал Лавану: какая вина моя, какой грех мой, что ты преследуешь меня?

Then Jacob became angry. He rebuked Laban, saying, “What crime did I commit? For what sin that I committed have you pursued me?

37 ты осмотрел у меня все вещи в доме моем, что нашел ты из всех вещей твоего дома? покажи здесь пред родственниками моими и пред родственниками твоими; пусть они рассудят между нами обоими.

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 Вот, двадцать лет я был у тебя; овцы твои и козы твои не выкидывали; овнов стада твоего я не ел;

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 растерзанного зверем я не приносил к тебе, это был мой убыток; ты с меня взыскивал, днем ли что пропадало, ночью ли пропадало;

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 я томился днем от жара, а ночью от стужи, и сон мой убегал от глаз моих.

I suffered from the heat during the day and from the cold at night. I was often not even able to sleep [PRS]!

41 Таковы мои двадцать лет в доме твоем. Я служил тебе четырнадцать лет за двух дочерей твоих и шесть лет за скот твой, а ты десять раз переменял награду мою.

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 Если бы не был со мною Бог отца моего, Бог Авраама и страх Исаака, ты бы теперь отпустил меня ни с чем. Бог увидел бедствие мое и труд рук моих и вступился за меня вчера.

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 И отвечал Лаван и сказал Иакову: дочери - мои дочери; дети - мои дети; скот - мой скот, и все, что ты видишь, это мое: могу ли я что сделать теперь с дочерями моими и с детьми их, которые рождены ими?

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 Теперь заключим союз я и ты, и это будет свидетельством между мною и тобою. При сем Иаков сказал ему: вот, с нами нет никого; смотри, Бог свидетель между мною и тобою.

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 И взял Иаков камень и поставил его памятником.

So Jacob took a [large] stone and set it on its end.

46 И сказал Иаков родственникам своим: наберите камней. Они взяли камни, и сделали холм, и ели и пили там на холме. И сказал ему Лаван: холм сей свидетель сегодня между мною и тобою.

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 И назвал его Лаван: Иегар-Сагадуфа; а Иаков назвал его Галаадом.

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 И сказал Лаван Иакову: сегодня этот холм и памятник, который я поставил, между мною и тобою свидетель. Посему и наречено ему имя: Галаад,

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 также: Мицпа, оттого, что Лаван сказал: да надзирает Господь надо мною и над тобою, когда мы скроемся друг от друга;

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 если ты будешь худо поступать с дочерями моими, или если возьмешь жен сверх дочерей моих, то, хотя нет человека между нами, который бы видел, но смотри, Бог свидетель между мною и между тобою.

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 И сказал Лаван Иакову: вот холм сей и вот памятник, который я поставил между мною и тобою;

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 этот холм свидетель, и этот памятник свидетель, что ни я не перейду к тебе за этот холм, ни ты не перейдешь ко мне за этот холм и за этот памятник, для зла;

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 Бог Авраамов и Бог Нахоров да судит между нами, Бог отца их. Иаков поклялся страхом отца своего Исаака.

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 И заколол Иаков жертву на горе и позвал родственников своих есть хлеб; и они ели хлеб и пили и ночевали на горе.

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 И встал Лаван рано утром и поцеловал внуков своих и дочерей своих, и благословил их. И пошел и возвратился Лаван в свое место.

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.
