Бытие 31
1 Слыша же Иаков словеса сынов Лавановых, глаголющих: взя Иаков вся яже отца нашего, и от сущих отца нашего сотвори всю славу сию.
But after that he heard the words of the sons of Laban, saying: Jacob hath taken away all that was our father’s, and being enriched by his substance is become great:
2 И виде Иаков лице Лаване, и се не бяше к нему, яко вчера и третияго дне.
And perceiving also that Laban’s countenance was not towards him as yesterday and the other day,
3 Рече же Господь ко Иакову: возвратися в землю отца твоего и в род твой, и буду с тобою.
Especially the Lord saying to him: Return into the land of thy fathers, and to thy kindred, and I will be with thee.
4 Послав же Иаков, призва Лию и Рахиль на поле, идеже бяху стада,
He sent, and called Rachel and Lia into the field, where he fed the flocks,
5 и рече им: вижду аз лице отца вашего, яко несть ко мне, якоже вчера и третияго дне: Бог же отца моего бе со мною:
And said to them: I see your father’s countenance is not towards me as yesterday and the other day: but the God of my father hath been with me.
6 и вы сами весте, яко всею силою моею работах отцу вашему:
And you know that I have served your father to the uttermost of my power.
7 отец же ваш обиде мя и измени мзду мою десяти агнцев, но не даде ему Бог зла сотворити мне.
Yea, your father also hath overreached me, and hath changed my wages ten times: and yet God hath not suffered him to hurt me.
8 Аще сице речет: пестрыя, будет твоя мзда: и родятся вся овцы пестрыя. Аще же речет: белыя, будет твоя мзда: и родятся вся овцы белыя.
If at any time he said: The speckled shall be thy wages: all the sheep brought forth speckled: but when he said on the contrary: Thou shalt take all the white ones for thy wages: all the flocks brought forth white ones.
9 И отя Бог вся скоты отца вашего и даде я мне.
And God hath taken your father’s substance, and given it to me.
10 И бысть егда зачинаху овцы во чреве приемлющя, и видех очима моима во сне: и се, козлы и овны восходяще бяху на овцы и козы, беловатыя и пестрыя и пепеловидныя пестрыя.
For after that time came of the ewes conceiving, I lifted up my eyes, and saw in my sleep that the males which leaped upon the females were of divers colours, and spotted, and speckled.
11 И рече ми Ангел Божий во сне: Иакове. Аз же рех: что есть?
And the angel of God said to me in my sleep: Jacob? And I answered: Here I am.
12 И рече: воззри очима твоима и виждь козлы и овны восходящыя на овцы и козы, белыя и пестрыя и пепеловидныя пестрыя: видех бо, елика тебе Лаван творит:
And he said: Lift up thy eyes, and see that all the males leaping upon the females, are of divers colours, spotted, and speckled. For I have seen all that Laban hath done to thee.
13 Аз есмь Бог явивыйся тебе на Месте Божии, идеже помазал Ми еси тамо столп, и обетовал Ми еси тамо обет: ныне убо востани и изыди от земли сея, и иди в землю рождения твоего, и буду с тобою.
I am the God of Bethel, where thou didst anoint the stone, and make a vow to me. Now therefore arise, and go out of this land, and return into thy native country.
14 И отвещавши Рахиль и Лиа, рекосте ему: еда есть нам еще часть или наследие в дому отца нашего?
And Rachel and Lia answered: Have we any thing left among the goods and inheritance of our father’s house?
15 Не яко ли чужыя вменихомся ему? Продаде бо нас и снеде снедию сребро наше:
Hath he not counted us as strangers and sold us, and eaten up the price of us?
16 все богатство и слава, юже отя Бог от отца нашего, нам будет и чадом нашым: ныне убо, елика тебе рече Бог, твори.
But God hath taken our father’s riches, and delivered them to us, and to our children: wherefore do all that God hath commanded thee.
17 Востав же Иаков, взя жены своя и дети своя на велблюды,
Then Jacob rose up, and having set his children and wives upon camels, went his way.
18 и забра вся имения своя и вся стяжания, яже притяжа в Месопотамии, и вся своя, еже отити ко Исааку отцу своему в землю Ханаанскую.
And he took all his substance, and flocks, and whatsoever he had gotten in Mesopotamia, and went forward to Isaac his father to the land of Chanaan.
19 Лаван же отиде острищи овцы своя: украде же Рахиль идолы отца своего.
At that time Laban was gone to shear his sheep, and Rachel stole away her father’s idols.
20 Утаи же Иаков от Лавана Сирина, не поведати ему, яко уходит,
And Jacob would not confess to his father in law that he was flying away.
21 и отбеже сам, и вся яже его, и прейде реку, и взыде на гору Галаад.
And when he was gone, together with all that belonged to him, and having passed the river, was going on towards mount Galaad,
22 Поведася же Лавану Сирину в третий день, яко бежа Иаков:
It was told Laban on the third day that Jacob fled.
23 и поим сыны и братию свою с собою, гна вслед его путем седмь дний: и достиже его на горе Галаад.
And he took his brethren with him, and pursued after him seven days; and overtook him in the mount of Galaad.
24 Прииде же Бог к Лавану Сирину нощию во сне и рече ему: блюди себе, да не когда возглаголеши ко Иакову зла.
And he saw in a dream God saying to him: Take heed thou speak not any thing harshly against Jacob.
25 И постиже Лаван Иакова: Иаков же постави кущу свою на горе: Лаван же разстави братию свою на горе Галаад.
Now Jacob had pitched his tent in the mountain: and when he with his brethren had overtaken him, he pitched his tent in the same mount of Galaad.
26 Рече же Лаван Иакову: что сотворил еси? Вскую тайно ушел еси и окрал еси мя, и отвел дщери моя, яко пленницы оружием?
And he said to Jacob: Why hast thou done thus, to carry away, without my knowledge, my daughters, as captives taken with the sword.
27 И аще бы ми поведал еси, отпустил бых тя с веселием и с мусикиею, и тимпаны и гусльми:
Why wouldst thou run away privately and not acquaint me, that I might have brought thee on the way with joy, and with songs, and with timbrels, and with harps?
28 и не сподобихся целовати детей моих и дщерей моих: ныне же несмысленно сотворил еси:
Thou hast not suffered me to kiss my sons and daughters: thou hast done foolishly: and now, indeed,
29 и ныне рука моя может озлобити тя. Но Бог отца твоего вчера рече ко мне, глаголя: блюди себе, да не когда возглаголеши ко Иакову зла.
It is in my power to return thee evil: but the God of your father said to me yesterday: Take heed thou speak not any thing harshly against Jacob.
30 Ныне убо отшел еси: желанием бо возжелал еси отити в дом отца твоего: вскую украл еси боги моя?
Suppose thou didst desire to go to thy friends, and hadst a longing after thy father’s house: why hast thou stolen away my gods?
31 Отвещав же Иаков рече к Лавану: понеже убояхся: рех бо, да не како отимеши дщери твоя от мене, и вся моя.
Jacob answered: That I departed unknown to thee, it was for fear lest thou wouldst take away thy daughters by force.
32 И рече Иаков: у негоже аще обрящеши боги твоя, да не будет жив пред братиею нашею: узнавай, что есть твоего у мене, и возми. И не позна у него ничтоже: не ведяше же Иаков, яко Рахиль жена его украде я.
But whereas thou chargest me with theft: with whomsoever thou shalt find thy gods, let him be slain before our brethren. Search, and if thou find any of thy things with me, take them away. Now when he said this, he knew not that Rachel had stolen the idols.
33 Вшед же Лаван, оыска в кущи Лиине, и не обрете. И изыде из кущи Лиины, и оыска кущу Иаковлю и в кущи двоих рабынь, и не обрете. Вниде же и в кущу Рахилину.
So Laban went into the tent of Jacob, and of Lia, and of both the handmaids, and found them not. And when he was entered into Rachel’s tent,
34 Рахиль же взя идолы и положи оныя под седло велблюже и седе на них,
She in haste hid the idols under the camel’s furniture, and sat upon them: and when he had searched all the tent, and found nothing,
35 и рече отцу своему: не имей себе тяжко, господине: не могу востати пред тобою, яко обычная женская ми суть. Иска же Лаван по всей кущи, и не обрете идолов.
She said: Let not my lord be angry that I cannot rise up before thee, because it has now happened to me, according to the custom of women, So his careful search was in vain.
36 Разгневася же Иаков и пряшеся с Лаваном. Отвещав же Иаков рече Лавану: кая неправда моя? И кий грех мой, яко погнал еси вслед мене,
And Jacob being angry, said in a chiding manner: For what fault of mine, and for what offence on my part hast thou so hotly pursued me,
37 и яко оыскал еси вся сосуды дому моего? Что обрел еси от всех сосудов дому твоего? Положи зде пред братиею твоею и братиею моею, и да разсудят между обема нама:
And searched all my household stuff? What hast thou found of all the substance of thy house? lay it here before my brethren, and thy brethren, and let them judge between me and thee.
38 се, двадесять лет аз есмь с тобою: овцы твоя и козы твоя не быша без плода: овнов овец твоих не поядох:
Have I therefore been with thee twenty years? thy ewes and goats were not barren, the rams of thy flocks I did not eat:
39 звероядины не принесох к тебе: аз воздаях тебе от мене самаго татбины денныя и татбины нощныя:
Neither did I show thee that which the beast had torn, I made good all the damage: whatsoever was lost by theft, thou didst exact it of me:
40 бых во дни жегомь зноем, и студению в нощи, и отхождаше сон от очию моею:
Day and night was I parched with heat, and with frost, and sleep departed from my eyes.
41 се, мне двадесять лет аз есмь в дому твоем, работах тебе четыренадесять лет двух ради дщерей твоих и шесть лет за овцы твоя, и преобидел еси мзду мою десятию агницами:
And in this manner have I served thee in thy house twenty years, fourteen for thy daughters, and six for thy flocks: thou hast changed also my wages ten times.
42 аще не бы Бог отца моего Авраама, и страх Исаака был мне, ныне тща отпустил бы мя еси: смирение мое и труд руку моею увиде Бог, и обличи тя вчера.
Unless the God of my father Abraham, and the fear of Isaac had stood by me, peradventure now thou hadst sent me away naked: God beheld my affliction and the labour of my hands, and rebuked thee yesterday.
43 Отвещав же Лаван, рече ко Иакову: дщери дщери моя и сынове сынове мои, и скоти скоти мои, и вся елика ты видиши моя суть и дщерей моих: что сотворю им днесь, или чадом их, яже родиста?
Laban answered him: The daughters are mine and the children, and thy flocks, and all things that thou seest are mine: what can I do to my children, and grandchildren?
44 Ныне убо гряди, завещаим завет аз и ты: и будет во свидетелство между мною и тобою. Рече же ему Иаков: се, никтоже с нами есть: виждь, Бог свидетель между мною и тобою.
Come therefore, let us enter into a league: that it may be for a testimony between me and thee.
45 И взем Иаков камень, постави его в столп.
And Jacob took a stone, and set it up for a title:
46 Рече же Иаков братии своей: соберите камение. И собраша камение и сотвориша холм: и ядоша, и пиша тамо на холме. Рече же ему Лаван: холм сей свидетелствует между мною и тобою днесь.
And he said to his brethren: Bring hither stones. And they gathering stones together, made a heap, and they ate upon it.
47 И прозва его Лаван холм Свидетелства: Иаков же прозва холм Свидетель.
And Laban called it The witness heap: and Jacob, The hillock of testimony: each of them according to the propriety of his language.
48 Рече же Лаван ко Иакову: се, холм сей и столп, егоже поставих между мною и тобою, свидетелствует холм сей и свидетелствует столп сей: сего ради прозвася имя холм Свидетелствует,
And Laban said: This heap shall be a witness between me and thee this day, and therefore the name thereof was called Galaad, that is, The witness heap.
49 и Видение, еже рече: да видит Бог между мною и тобою, яко отидем друг от друга:
The Lord behold and judge between us when we shall be gone one from the other.
50 аще смириши дщери моя, аще поймеши жены над дщери моя виждь, никтоже с нами есть видяй: Бог свидетель между мною и между тобою.
If thou afflict my daughters, and if thou bring in other wives over them: none is witness of our speech but God, who is present and beholdeth.
51 И рече Лаван Иакову: се, холм сей свидетель и столп сей:
And he said again to Jacob: Behold, this heap, and the stone which I have set up between me and thee,
52 аще бо аз не прейду к тебе, ниже ты да прейдеши ко мне холма сего и столпа сего со злобою:
Shall be a witness: this heap, I say, and the stone, be they for a testimony, if either I shall pass beyond it going towards thee, or thou shalt pass beyond it, thinking harm to me.
53 Бог Авраамль и Бог Нахоров да судит между нама. И кляся Иаков страхом отца своего Исаака,
The God of Abraham, and the God of Nachor, the God of their father, judge between us. And Jacob swore by the fear of his father Isaac.
54 и пожре Иаков жертву на горе и воззва братию свою: ядоша же и пиша и спаша на горе.
And after he had offered sacrifices in the mountain, he called his brethren to eat bread. And when they had eaten, they lodged there:
55 Востав же Лаван заутра, лобыза сыны и дщери своя и благослови я: и возвратився Лаван, отиде на место свое.
But Laban arose in the night, and kissed his sons, and daughters, and blessed them: and returned to his place.
