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.
Now Jacob heard the words of Laban's sons, that they said, “Jacob has taken away all that was our father's, and it is from our father's possessions that he has gotten all this wealth.”
2 И виде Иаков лице Лаване, и се не бяше к нему, яко вчера и третияго дне.
Jacob saw the look on Laban's face. He saw that his attitude toward him had changed.
3 Рече же Господь ко Иакову: возвратися в землю отца твоего и в род твой, и буду с тобою.
Then Yahweh said to Jacob, “Return to the land of your fathers and to your relatives, and I will be with you.”
4 Послав же Иаков, призва Лию и Рахиль на поле, идеже бяху стада,
Jacob sent and called Rachel and Leah to the field to 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, “I see your father's attitude toward me has changed, but the God of my father has been with me.
6 и вы сами весте, яко всею силою моею работах отцу вашему:
You know that it is with all my strength that I have served your father.
7 отец же ваш обиде мя и измени мзду мою десяти агнцев, но не даде ему Бог зла сотворити мне.
Your father has deceived me and changed my wages ten times, but God has not permitted 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 he said, 'The speckled animals will be your wages,' then all the flock bore speckled young. If he said, 'The striped will be your wages,' then the whole flock bore striped young.
9 И отя Бог вся скоты отца вашего и даде я мне.
In this way God has taken away the livestock 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.
Once at the time of breeding season, I saw in a dream the male goats that were mating with the flock. The male goats were striped, speckled, and spotted.
11 И рече ми Ангел Божий во сне: Иакове. Аз же рех: что есть?
The angel of God said to me in the dream, 'Jacob.' I said, '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:
He said, 'Lift up your eyes and see all the male goats that are breeding with the flock. They are striped, speckled, and spotted, for I have seen everything that Laban is doing to you.
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 you anointed a pillar, where you made a vow to me. Now rise up and leave this land and return to the land of your birth.'”
14 И отвещавши Рахиль и Лиа, рекосте ему: еда есть нам еще часть или наследие в дому отца нашего?
Rachel and Leah answered and said to him, “Is there any portion or inheritance for us in our father's house?
15 Не яко ли чужыя вменихомся ему? Продаде бо нас и снеде снедию сребро наше:
Are we not treated by him as foreigners? For he has sold us and has also completely devoured our money.
16 все богатство и слава, юже отя Бог от отца нашего, нам будет и чадом нашым: ныне убо, елика тебе рече Бог, твори.
For all the riches that God has taken away from our father are now ours and our children's. Now then, whatever God has said to you, do it.”
17 Востав же Иаков, взя жены своя и дети своя на велблюды,
Then Jacob arose and placed his sons and his wives upon 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.
He drove all his livestock ahead of him, along with all his property, including the livestock he had acquired in Paddan Aram. Then he set out to go to his father Isaac in the land of Canaan.
19 Лаван же отиде острищи овцы своя: украде же Рахиль идолы отца своего.
When Laban had gone to shear his sheep, Rachel stole her father's household gods.
20 Утаи же Иаков от Лавана Сирина, не поведати ему, яко уходит,
Jacob also deceived Laban the Aramean, by not telling him that he was leaving.
21 и отбеже сам, и вся яже его, и прейде реку, и взыде на гору Галаад.
So he fled with all that he had and quickly passed over the River, and headed toward the hill country of Gilead.
22 Поведася же Лавану Сирину в третий день, яко бежа Иаков:
On the third day Laban was told 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 relatives with him and pursued him for a seven days' journey. He overtook him in the hill country of Gilead.
24 Прииде же Бог к Лавану Сирину нощию во сне и рече ему: блюди себе, да не когда возглаголеши ко Иакову зла.
Now God came to Laban the Aramean in a dream at night and said to him, “Be careful that you speak to Jacob neither good nor bad.”
25 И постиже Лаван Иакова: Иаков же постави кущу свою на горе: Лаван же разстави братию свою на горе Галаад.
Laban overtook Jacob. Now Jacob had pitched his tent in the hill country. Laban also camped with his relatives in the hill country 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?
Laban said to Jacob, “What have you done, that you deceived me and carried away my daughters like prisoners of war?
27 И аще бы ми поведал еси, отпустил бых тя с веселием и с мусикиею, и тимпаны и гусльми:
Why did you flee secretly and trick me and did not tell me? I would have sent you away with celebration and with songs, with tambourine and with harps.
28 и не сподобихся целовати детей моих и дщерей моих: ныне же несмысленно сотворил еси:
You did not allow me to kiss my grandsons and my daughters good bye. Now you have 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 my power to do you harm, but the God of your father spoke to me last night and said, 'Be careful that you speak to Jacob neither good nor bad.'
30 Ныне убо отшел еси: желанием бо возжелал еси отити в дом отца твоего: вскую украл еси боги моя?
Now you have gone away because you longed to return to your father's house. But why did you steal 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 and said to Laban, “Because I was afraid and thought that you would take your daughters from me by force I left secretly.
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.
Whoever has stolen your gods will not continue to live. In the presence of our relatives, identify whatever with me is yours and take it.” For Jacob did not 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.
Laban went into Jacob's tent, into Leah's tent, and into the tent of the two female servants, but he did not find them. He went out of Leah's tent and entered into Rachel's tent.
34 Рахиль же взя идолы и положи оныя под седло велблюже и седе на них,
Now Rachel had taken the household gods, put them in a camel's saddle, and sat upon them. Laban searched the whole tent, but did not find them.
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 to her father, “Do not be angry, my master, that I cannot stand up before you, for I am having my period.” So he searched but did not find his 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,
Jacob was angry and argued with Laban. He said to him, “What is my offense? What is my sin, that you have hotly pursued 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:
For you have searched all my possessions. What have you found of all your household goods? Set them here before our relatives, so that they may judge between us two.
38 се, двадесять лет аз есмь с тобою: овцы твоя и козы твоя не быша без плода: овнов овец твоих не поядох:
For twenty years I have been with you. Your ewes and your female goats have not miscarried, nor have I eaten any rams from your flocks.
39 звероядины не принесох к тебе: аз воздаях тебе от мене самаго татбины денныя и татбины нощныя:
What was torn by beasts I did not bring to you. Instead, I bore the loss of it. You always made me pay for every missing animal, whether stolen by day or stolen by night.
40 бых во дни жегомь зноем, и студению в нощи, и отхождаше сон от очию моею:
There I was; in the day the heat consumed me, and the frost by night; and I went without sleep.
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:
These twenty years I have been in your household. I worked for you fourteen years for your two daughters, and six years for your flock. You have changed 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, the God of Abraham, and the one Isaac fears, had been with me, surely now you would have sent me away empty-handed. God has seen my oppression and how hard I worked, and he rebuked you 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?
Laban answered and said to Jacob, “The daughters are my daughters, the grandchildren are my grandchildren, and the flocks are my flocks. All that you see is mine. But what can I do today to these my daughters, or to their children 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.
So now, let us make a covenant, you and I, and let it be for a witness between you and me.”
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.
Jacob said to his relatives, “Gather stones.” So they took stones and made a pile. Then they ate there by the pile.
47 И прозва его Лаван холм Свидетелства: Иаков же прозва холм Свидетель.
Laban called it Jegar Saha Dutha, 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,
Laban said, “This pile is a witness between me and you today.” Therefore its name was called Galeed.
49 и Видение, еже рече: да видит Бог между мною и тобою, яко отидем друг от друга:
It is also called Mizpah, because Laban said, “May Yahweh watch between you and me, when we are out of sight 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 you mistreat my daughters, or if you take any wives besides my daughters, although no one else is with us, see, God is witness between you and me.”
51 И рече Лаван Иакову: се, холм сей свидетель и столп сей:
Laban said to Jacob, “Look at this pile, and look at the pillar, which I have set between you and me.
52 аще бо аз не прейду к тебе, ниже ты да прейдеши ко мне холма сего и столпа сего со злобою:
This pile is a witness, and the pillar is a witness, that I will not pass beyond this pile to you, and that you will not pass beyond this pile and this pillar to me, to do harm.
53 Бог Авраамль и Бог Нахоров да судит между нама. И кляся Иаков страхом отца своего Исаака,
May the God of Abraham, and the god of Nahor, the gods of their father, judge between us.” 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.
Jacob offered a sacrifice on the mountain and called his relatives to eat a meal. They ate and spent the entire night on the mountain.
55 Востав же Лаван заутра, лобыза сыны и дщери своя и благослови я: и возвратився Лаван, отиде на место свое.
Early in the morning Laban got up, kissed his grandsons and his daughters and blessed them. Then Laban left and returned home.
