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.
Jacob heard Laban’s sons’ words, saying, “Jacob has taken away all that was our father’s. He has obtained all this wealth from that which was our father’s.”
2 И виде Иаков лице Лаване, и се не бяше к нему, яко вчера и третияго дне.
Jacob saw the expression on Laban’s face, and, behold, it was not toward him as before.
3 Рече же Господь ко Иакову: возвратися в землю отца твоего и в род твой, и буду с тобою.
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 the expression on your father’s face, that it is not toward me as before; 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 I have served your father with all of my strength.
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 didn’t allow 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 will be your wages,’ then all the flock bore speckled. If he said, ‘The streaked will be your wages,’ then all the flock bore streaked.
9 И отя Бог вся скоты отца вашего и даде я мне.
Thus God has taken away your father’s livestock, 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.
During mating season, I lifted up my eyes, and saw in a dream, and behold, the male goats which leaped on the flock were streaked, speckled, and grizzled.
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,’ and 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, ‘Now lift up your eyes, and behold, all the male goats which leap on the flock are streaked, speckled, and grizzled, for I have seen all that Laban does 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 vowed a vow to me. Now arise, get out from 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 him, “Is there yet 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:
Aren’t we considered as foreigners by him? For he has sold us, and has also used up 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 which God has taken away from our father are ours and our children’s. Now then, whatever God has said to you, do.”
17 Востав же Иаков, взя жены своя и дети своя на велблюды,
Then Jacob rose up, and set 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 he took away all his livestock, and all his possessions which he had gathered, including the livestock which he had gained in Paddan Aram, to go to Isaac his father, to 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; and Rachel stole the teraphim that were her father’s.
20 Утаи же Иаков от Лавана Сирина, не поведати ему, яко уходит,
Jacob deceived Laban the Syrian, in that he didn’t tell him that he was running away.
21 и отбеже сам, и вся яже его, и прейде реку, и взыде на гору Галаад.
So he fled with all that he had. He rose up, passed over the River, and set his face toward the mountain of Gilead.
22 Поведася же Лавану Сирину в третий день, яко бежа Иаков:
Laban was told 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.
He took his relatives with him, and pursued him seven days’ journey. He 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.
God came to Laban the Syrian in a dream of the night, and said to him, “Be careful that you don’t speak to 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.
Laban caught up with Jacob. Now Jacob had pitched his tent in the mountain, and Laban with his relatives encamped 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?
Laban said to Jacob, “What have you done, that you have deceived me, and carried away my daughters like captives of the sword?
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 deceive me, and didn’t tell me, that I might have sent you away with mirth and with songs, with tambourine and with harp;
28 и не сподобихся целовати детей моих и дщерей моих: ныне же несмысленно сотворил еси:
and didn’t allow me to kiss my sons and my daughters? Now have you 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 hurt you, but the God of your father spoke to me last night, saying, ‘Be careful that you don’t speak to Jacob either good or bad.’
30 Ныне убо отшел еси: желанием бо возжелал еси отити в дом отца твоего: вскую украл еси боги моя?
Now, you want to be gone, because you greatly longed for your father’s house, but why have you stolen 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 Laban, “Because I was afraid, for I said, ‘Lest you should take your daughters from me 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.
Anyone you find your gods with shall not live. Before our relatives, discern what is yours with me, and take it.” For Jacob didn’t 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 didn’t 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 teraphim, put them in the camel’s saddle, and sat on them. Laban felt around all the tent, but didn’t 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, “Don’t let my lord be angry that I can’t rise up before you; for I’m having my period.” He searched, but didn’t find the teraphim.
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. Jacob answered Laban, “What is my trespass? What is my sin, that you have 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:
Now that you have felt around in all my stuff, what have you found of all your household stuff? Set it here before my relatives and your relatives, 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:
“These twenty years I have been with you. Your ewes and your female goats have not cast their young, and I haven’t eaten the rams of your flocks.
39 звероядины не принесох к тебе: аз воздаях тебе от мене самаго татбины денныя и татбины нощныя:
That which was torn of animals, I didn’t bring to you. I bore its loss. Of my hand you required it, whether stolen by day or stolen by night.
40 бых во дни жегомь зноем, и студению в нощи, и отхождаше сон от очию моею:
This was my situation: in the day the drought consumed me, and the frost by night; and my sleep fled 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:
These twenty years I have been in your house. I served you fourteen years for your two daughters, and six years for your flock, and 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 fear of Isaac, had been with me, surely now you would have sent me away empty. God has seen my affliction and the labor of my hands, and 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 Jacob, “The daughters are my daughters, the children are my children, the flocks are my flocks, and all that you see is mine! 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.
Now come, let’s make a covenant, you and I. Let it be for a witness between me and you.”
45 И взем Иаков камень, постави его в столп.
Jacob took a stone, and set it up for 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.” They took stones, and made a heap. They ate there by the heap.
47 И прозва его Лаван холм Свидетелства: Иаков же прозва холм Свидетель.
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,
Laban said, “This heap is witness between me and you today.” Therefore it was named Galeed
49 и Видение, еже рече: да видит Бог между мною и тобою, яко отидем друг от друга:
and Mizpah, for he said, “Yahweh watch between me and you, when we are absent 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 afflict my daughters, or if you take wives in addition to my daughters, no man is with us; behold, God is witness between me and you.”
51 И рече Лаван Иакову: се, холм сей свидетель и столп сей:
Laban said to Jacob, “See this heap, and see the pillar, which I have set between me and you.
52 аще бо аз не прейду к тебе, ниже ты да прейдеши ко мне холма сего и столпа сего со злобою:
May this heap be a witness, and the pillar be a witness, that I will not pass over this heap to you, and that you will not pass over this heap and this pillar to me, for harm.
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 Nahor, the God of their father, judge between us.” Then 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 in the mountain, and called his relatives to eat bread. They ate bread, and stayed all night in 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 rose up, and kissed his sons and his daughters, and blessed them. Laban departed and returned to his place.
