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.

Then heard he the words of the sons of Laban, saying, Jacob hath taken away all that belonged to our father; Yea out of what belonged to our father, hath he made all this wealth.

2 И виде Иаков лице Лаване, и се не бяше к нему, яко вчера и третияго дне.

And Jacob looked upon the face of Laban, —and lo! it was not with him as afore-time.

3 Рече же Господь ко Иакову: возвратися в землю отца твоего и в род твой, и буду с тобою.

Then said Yahweh unto Jacob, Return unto the land of thy fathers and to thy kindred, —that I may be with thee.

4 Послав же Иаков, призва Лию и Рахиль на поле, идеже бяху стада,

So Jacob sent, and called for Rachel and for Leah, to the field unto his flock;

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, Beholding, am I the face of your father, that it is not towards me as aforetime, —nevertheless, the God of my father, hath been with me;

6 и вы сами весте, яко всею силою моею работах отцу вашему:

and, ye, know that with all my vigour, have I served your father.

7 отец же ваш обиде мя и измени мзду мою десяти агнцев, но не даде ему Бог зла сотворити мне.

But, your father, hath deceived me, and hath changed my wages ten times, —yet God hath not suffered him to deal harmfully with 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 thus he saith, The speckled, shall be thy wages, then do all the flock bring forth speckled, —But if thus he saith, The ring-straked, shall be thy wages, then do all the flock bring forth ring-straked.

9 И отя Бог вся скоты отца вашего и даде я мне.

So hath God stripped away the herds of your father, and given them 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.

And it came to pass in the season when the flock were in heat, then lifted I mine eyes and beheld in a dream, —and lo! the he-goats that were leaping upon the flock, were ring-straked speckled and dappled.

11 И рече ми Ангел Божий во сне: Иакове. Аз же рех: что есть?

And the messenger of God said unto me in a dream, Jacob! and I said, Behold me!

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:

Then he said Lift, I pray thee, thine eyes and behold All, the he-goats that are leaping upon the flock are ring-straked, speckled, and dappled, —for I have seen all that Laban, has been doing 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 Beth-el, where thou didst anoint a pillar, where thou didst vow to me a vow, —Now, rise, go forth out of this land, and return unto the land of thy kindred.

14 И отвещавши Рахиль и Лиа, рекосте ему: еда есть нам еще часть или наследие в дому отца нашего?

Then responded Rachel and Leah, and said to him, —Have we any longer a portion or an inheritance in the house of our father?

15 Не яко ли чужыя вменихомся ему? Продаде бо нас и снеде снедию сребро наше:

Are we not accounted, aliens, to him seeing that having sold us, he hath then gone on devouring, our silver?

16 все богатство и слава, юже отя Бог от отца нашего, нам будет и чадом нашым: ныне убо, елика тебе рече Бог, твори.

Surely all the riches which God hath stripped off from our father, unto us, it belongeth, and unto our sons, —Now, therefore, whatsoever God hath said unto thee, do.

17 Востав же Иаков, взя жены своя и дети своя на велблюды,

So Jacob arose, —and mounted his sons and his wives on the camels;

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 drave away all his herds and all his goods which he had gathered, the gains he had gained, which he had gathered in Padan-aram; that he might go in unto Isaac his father unto the land of Canaan.

19 Лаван же отиде острищи овцы своя: украде же Рахиль идолы отца своего.

Now, Laban, had gone, to shear his sheep, —so Rachel stole the household gods that belonged to her father,

20 Утаи же Иаков от Лавана Сирина, не поведати ему, яко уходит,

Thus Jacob stole away unawares to Laban, the Syrian, —in that he had not told him that he was about to flee.

21 и отбеже сам, и вся яже его, и прейде реку, и взыде на гору Галаад.

So he fled, he—and all that he had, and he arose, and passed over the River, —and set his face towards the mountain of Gilead.

22 Поведася же Лавану Сирину в третий день, яко бежа Иаков:

And it was told Laban, on the third day, —that Jacob had fled.

23 и поим сыны и братию свою с собою, гна вслед его путем седмь дний: и достиже его на горе Галаад.

So he took his brethren with him, and pursued after him a journey of seven days—and overtook him in the mountain of Gilead.

24 Прииде же Бог к Лавану Сирину нощию во сне и рече ему: блюди себе, да не когда возглаголеши ко Иакову зла.

And God went in unto Laban the Syrian in a dream of the night, —and said to him Take heed to thyself that thou speak not with Jacob either good or bad.

25 И постиже Лаван Иакова: Иаков же постави кущу свою на горе: Лаван же разстави братию свою на горе Галаад.

So then Laban came up with Jacob, —Jacob, having pitched his tent in the mountain, Laban, also, with his brethren pitched in the mountain of Gilead.

26 Рече же Лаван Иакову: что сотворил еси? Вскую тайно ушел еси и окрал еси мя, и отвел дщери моя, яко пленницы оружием?

Then said Laban to Jacob, What hadst thou done, that thou shouldst steal away unawares to me, —and shouldst carry off my daughters, as captives of the sword?

27 И аще бы ми поведал еси, отпустил бых тя с веселием и с мусикиею, и тимпаны и гусльми:

Wherefore didst thou secretly flee, and rob me, —and didst not tell me, that I might send thee away with rejoicing and with songs, with timbrel and with lyre;

28 и не сподобихся целовати детей моих и дщерей моих: ныне же несмысленно сотворил еси:

and didst not suffer me to kiss my sons and my daughters? Now, hast thou done, foolishly.

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 the power of my hand, to deal with thee for harm, —but the God of your father, last night, spake unto me, saying, Take heed to thyself that thou speak not with Jacob, either good or bad.

30 Ныне убо отшел еси: желанием бо возжелал еси отити в дом отца твоего: вскую украл еси боги моя?

But, now, though thou, didst even take thy journey, because thou, didst sorely long, for the house of thy father, wherefore didst thou steal 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.

And Jacob answered and said unto Laban, —Because I was afraid, for I said, Lest thou take by force thy daughters from me!

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.

He with whom thou find thy gods, shall not live! Before our brethren, note thou for thyself what is with me and take what is thine. Neither did Jacob know that, Rachel, had stolen them.

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.

Then entered Laban into the tent of Jacob and into the tent of Leah and into the tent of the two handmaids, and found nothing, —then went he forth out of the tent of Leah, and entered into the tent of Rachel.

34 Рахиль же взя идолы и положи оныя под седло велблюже и седе на них,

Now Rachel, had taken the household gods and put them in the basket-saddle of the camel, and taken her seat upon them. And Laban felt about throughout all the tent, and found them not.

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.

And she said unto her father, Let it not be vexing in the eyes of my lord that I cannot rise up at thy presence, for, the way of women, is upon me. So he made search, but found not the household gods,

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 it was vexing to Jacob and he contended with Laban, —and Jacob responded and said to Laban, What was my trespass, what my sin, that thou shouldst have come burning after 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:

Now that thou hast felt about among all my goods, what hast thou found of the goods of thine own house? Set it out here, right before my brethren and thy brethren, —that they may give sentence betwixt us two.

38 се, двадесять лет аз есмь с тобою: овцы твоя и козы твоя не быша без плода: овнов овец твоих не поядох:

This twenty years’ time, have, I, been with thee—Thy ewes and thy she-goats, have not cast their young, —And the rams of thy flock, have I not eaten,

39 звероядины не принесох к тебе: аз воздаях тебе от мене самаго татбины денныя и татбины нощныя:

The torn, have I not brought in unto thee—I bare the loss, At my hand, didst thou require it, —Stolen by day, or stolen by night.

40 бых во дни жегомь зноем, и студению в нощи, и отхождаше сон от очию моею:

Thus have I been—By day, drought hath consumed me, And, frost, by, night, —So that my sleep fled away from mine 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:

This, hath been my lot twenty years in thy house, —I served thee fourteen years for thy two daughters, And six years for thy sheep—And thou didst change 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.

But that the God of my father—The God of Abraham, and the Dread of Isaac—Proved to be mine, Surely even now, empty, hadst thou let me go? My humiliation and the wearying toil of my hands, God had seen, And therefore gave sentence last night!

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?

Then responded Laban and said unto Jacob—the daughters, are my daughters, And the sons, are my sons, And the sheep are my sheep, And, all that, thou, beholdest, To me doth it belong! But to my daughters, what can I do to these this day, Or to their sons whom they have borne?

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.

Now, therefore, come on! Let us solemnise a covenant, I and thou, —So shall it be a witness betwixt me and thee.

45 И взем Иаков камень, постави его в столп.

So Jacob took a stone, —and set it up as a pillar.

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.

Then said Jacob to his brethren—Gather stones. And they took stones and made a heap, —and they did eat there, by the heap.

47 И прозва его Лаван холм Свидетелства: Иаков же прозва холм Свидетель.

And Laban called it, Jegar-sahadutha, —but, Jacob, called it, Galeed.

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,

Then said Laban: This heap, be witness betwixt me, and thee, to-day. For this cause, is the name thereof called Galeed;

49 и Видение, еже рече: да видит Бог между мною и тобою, яко отидем друг от друга:

also, The Watch Tower, as to which it is said, Yahweh watch betwixt me and thee, when we are parted one from another.

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 oppress my daughters, or if thou take wives besides my daughters, —there may be no man with us—see! God, be witness betwixt me, and thee!

51 И рече Лаван Иакову: се, холм сей свидетель и столп сей:

And Laban said to Jacob—Behold this heap, and behold this pillar, which I have set betwixt me, and thee:

52 аще бо аз не прейду к тебе, ниже ты да прейдеши ко мне холма сего и столпа сего со злобою:

A witness, be this heap, and, a witness, the pillar, —That, I, am not to pass, unto thee, over this heap, And, thou, art not to pass, unto me, over this heap and this pillar for harm.

53 Бог Авраамль и Бог Нахоров да судит между нама. И кляся Иаков страхом отца своего Исаака,

The Gods of Abraham and the Gods of Nahor judge betwixt us—the Gods of their fathers. And Jacob sware by the Dread of his father Isaac:

54 и пожре Иаков жертву на горе и воззва братию свою: ядоша же и пиша и спаша на горе.

and Jacob offered sacrifice in the mountain, and called on his brethren to eat bread. So they did eat bread, and tarried the night in the mountain.

55 Востав же Лаван заутра, лобыза сыны и дщери своя и благослови я: и возвратився Лаван, отиде на место свое.

And Laban rose up early in the morning, and kissed his sons and his daughters, and blessed them: and Laban went his way and returned to his place.
