Bilowgii 31
1 Wuxuu maqlay hadalkii Laabaan wiilashiisii, iyagoo leh, Yacquub baa wixii aabbeheen oo dhan wada qaatay, oo xoolahan oo dhan wuxuu ku helay wixii aabbeheen.
Jacob found out that Laban's sons were saying, “Jacob has taken everything that belonged to our father. All the wealth he has actually came from our father.”
2 Yacquubna wuxuu fiiriyey wejigii Laabaan, oo wuxuu arkay inuusan sidii hore u ahayn.
Jacob also noticed that Laban was treating him differently to the way he had before.
3 Rabbiguna wuxuu Yacquub ku yidhi, Ku noqo dalkii aabbahaa iyo xigaalkaaga, oo anna waan kula jiri doonaa.
The Lord told Jacob, “Go back to the country of your forefathers, to your family home. I will be with you.”
4 Yacquubna wuxuu u cid diray oo u yeedhay Raaxeel iyo Lee'ah inay yimaadaan berrinkii adhigiisu joogay,
Jacob sent for Rachel and Leah, telling them to come and meet him out in the fields where he was with his flock.
5 oo wuxuu iyagii ku yidhi, Waxaan arkay wejigii aabbihiin inuusan sidii hore ii ahayn, laakiinse Ilaaha aabbahay baa ila jiray.
“I've noticed that your father is treating me differently to the way he did before,” he told them. “But the God of my father will be with me.
6 Idinkuna waad og tihiin inaan aabbihiin xooggayga oo dhan ugu adeegay.
You both know very well how hard I worked for your father.
7 Laakiin aabbihiin wuu i khiyaaneeyey, oo toban goor buu mushahaaradaydii beddelay; Ilaahse uma oggolaan inuu wax i yeelo.
But he's been cheating me—he's reduced my wages ten times! However, God hasn't let him hurt me.
8 Hadduu yidhi, Kuwa dhibicyada lahu waxay noqon doonaan mushahaaradaada, adhiga oo dhammu wax dhibicyo leh bay dhaleen; hadduu yidhina, Kuwa xariijimaha lahu waxay noqon doonaan mushahaaradaada, adhiga oo dhammu wax xariijimo leh bay dhaleen.
If he said, ‘You can have the speckled ones as your wages,’ then the whole flock had speckled young. If he said, ‘You can have the streaked ones as your wages,’ then the whole flock had streaked young.
9 Sidaasaa Ilaah aabbihiin xoolihiisii uga qaaday, oo uu aniga ii siiyey.
This is how God took your father's livestock and gave them to me.
10 Wakhtigii adhigii rimay ayaan indhahayga kor u taagay, oo aan riyo ku arkay orgidii adhiga ku boodday inay wada lahaayeen xariijimo, iyo dhibicyo iyo barbaro.
During the time the flock was breeding I had a dream where I saw that the male goats mating with the flock were all streaked, speckled, or spotted.
11 Malaa'igtii Ilaahna waxay igu tidhi intaan riyoonayay, Yacquubow. Oo anna waxaan idhi, Waa i kan.
Then in the dream the angel of the Lord spoke to me and said, ‘Jacob!’ I replied, ‘I'm here.’
12 Oo waxay tidhi, Haatan indhahaaga kor u taag, oo arag, orgida adhiga ku boodda oo dhammu waxay wada leeyihiin xariijimo iyo dhibicyo iyo barbaro, maxaa yeelay, waxaan wada arkay waxa Laabaan kugu sameeyo oo dhan.
He told me, ‘Take a look and you'll see that all the male goats mating with the flock are streaked, speckled or spotted, for I've been watching everything that Laban has been doing to you.
13 Waxaan ahay Ilaaha Beytel, meeshii aad tiirka ku subagtay, oo aad nidarka iigu nidartay. Haddaba kac, oo dalkan ka bax, oo ku noqo dalkii aad ku dhalatay.
I am the God of Bethel, where you poured olive oil on the stone pillar and made a solemn promise to me. Now get ready to leave this land and go back to your homeland.’”
14 Markaasay Raaxeel iyo Lee'ah u jawaabeen isagii oo ku yidhaahdeen, Weli ma qayb baa guriga aabbahayo noogu hadhay amase dhaxal?
“There's nothing for us to inherit from our father's estate anyway,” Rachel and Leah replied.
15 Miyaannan xaggiisa ka xisaabnayn shisheeye? Waayo, wuu na iibiyey, oo weliba lacagtayadiina wuu cunay.
“He treats us like foreigners because he sold us to you, and now he's spent all that money.
16 Waayo, kulli maalkii Ilaah ka qaaday aabbahayo waxaa leh annaga iyo carruurtayada; haddaba yeel wixii Ilaah kugu yidhi.
All the wealth that God has taken from him belongs to us and our children, so do whatever God has told you to do!”
17 Markaasuu Yacquub kacay, carruurtiisii iyo naagihiisiina wuxuu fuushiiyey awrtii;
So Jacob got ready. He helped his children and his wives onto the camels,
18 wuuna la tegey xoolihiisii oo dhan, iyo alaabadii uu urursaday, kuwaas oo ahaa xoolihii uu helay, oo uu ku ururiyey Fadan Araam, inuu tago xaggii aabbihiis Isxaaq iyo ilaa dalkii Kancaan.
and drove all his livestock in front of him. He took with him all his possessions and livestock he'd gained during his time in Paddan-aram, and left to go back to his father in the country of Canaan.
19 Laabaanna wuxuu ku maqnaa inuu idihiisa dhogorta ka soo xiirto; kolkaasay Raaxeel xadday sanamyadii aabbeheed lahaa.
While Laban was away from home shearing his sheep, Rachel stole the household idols that belonged to her father.
20 Markaasaa Yacquub si qarsoon uga tegey Laabaankii reer Suuriya oo aan ogayn, umana uu sheegin inuu cararayo.
Jacob also deceived Laban the Aramean by not informing him that he was going to run away.
21 Oo sidaasuu ula cararay wixii uu haystay oo dhan, oo intuu kacay, ayuu webigii ka gudbay, oo wejigiisii ku toosiyey buurtii Gilecaad.
So Jacob left in a hurry with everything he had, crossed the Euphrates River, and headed towards the hill country of Gilead.
22 Maalintii saddexaad baa Laabaan loo sheegay in Yacquub cararay.
Three days later Laban found out that Jacob had run away.
23 Markaasuu walaalihiis kaxaystay, oo wuxuu raacdaynayay toddoba maalinsocod, wuxuuna ku gaadhay buurtii Gilecaad.
Taking some of his relatives with him, he chased after Jacob and caught up with him seven days later in the hill country of Gilead.
24 Markaasaa Ilaah riyo habeennimo ugu yimid Laabaankii reer Suuriya, oo ku yidhi, Iska jir oo Yacquub xumaan iyo wanaag toona ha kula hadlin.
But during the night God came to Laban in a dream and told him, “Watch what you say to Jacob. Don't try to persuade him to come back, and don't threaten him either.”
25 Laabaanna wuu soo gaadhay Yacquub. Haddaba Yacquub teendhadiisii wuxuu ka dhistay buurta; Laabaanna walaalihiis buu kala dhistay buurtii Gilecaad.
Jacob had set up his tents in the hill country of Gilead when Laban caught up with him, so Laban and his relatives did the same.
26 Laabaanna wuxuu Yacquub ku yidhi, Waa maxay waxan aad samaysay, oo maxaad si qarsoon iiga soo tagtay anoo aan ogayn, oo aad gabdhahayga ula soo carartay sidii iyagoo ah maxaabiis seef lagu soo dhacay?
“Why did you deceive me like this?” Laban asked Jacob. “You carried off my daughters as if they were some prisoners captured by the sword!
27 Maxaad qarsoodiga ugu soo carartay, oo aad si qarsoon iiga soo tagtay? Oo maxaad iigu sheegi weyday, si aan kuugu soo ambabbixiyo rayrayn iyo gabayo iyo daf iyo kataarad?
Why did you run away in secret, trying to trick me? Why didn't you come and tell me? I would have given you a good send-off, a celebration with singing and the music of tambourines and lyres.
28 Oo maxaad iigu oggolaan weyday inaan dhunkado wiilashayda iyo gabdhahayga? De taas nacasnimaad u yeeshay.
You didn't even let me kiss my grandchildren and daughters goodbye! You've really acted stupidly!
29 De xoog aan wax kugu yeelo waan leeyahay, laakiinse Ilaaha aabbahaa baa xalay ila hadlay, oo wuxuu igu yidhi, Iska jir oo Yacquub ha kula hadlin xumaan iyo wanaag toona.
I could really punish you badly, but the God of your father spoke to me last night and told me, ‘Watch what you say to Jacob. Don't try to persuade him to come back, and don't threaten him either.’
30 Oo haatan waad tagtay, maxaa yeelay, aad baad ugu hilowday gurigii aabbahaa, laakiinse maxaad ilaahyadayda iiga soo xadday?
Clearly you wanted to leave and go back to your family home, but why did you have to steal my idols?”
31 Yacquubna waa u jawaabay oo wuxuu Laabaan ku yidhi, Maxaa yeelay, waan cabsaday; waayo, waxaan is-idhi, Wuu kaa xoogi doonaa gabdhihiisa.
“I ran away because I was afraid,” Jacob explained to Laban. “I was worried that you would take your daughters from me by force.
32 Qofkii aad ilaahyadaadii ka hesho waa inuusan noolaan. Walaalahayo hortooda ku fiiri wixii aan kaa haysto, oo iska qaado. Waayo, Yacquub ma uu ogayn inay Raaxeel soo xadday.
As for your idols, anyone you find who has them will die. You can search everything in the presence of our relatives, and if you find I have anything that belongs to you, you can take it.” (Jacob didn't know that Rachel had stolen the household idols.)
33 Laabaanna wuxuu galay teendhadii Yacquub, iyo teendhadii Lee'ah, iyo teendhadii labada addoommood, laakiinse ma uu helin. Oo intuu ka baxay teendhadii Lee'ah ayuu galay teendhadii Raaxeel.
Laban searched the tents of Jacob, Leah, and the two personal maids, but didn't find anything. He left Leah's tent and went into Rachel's tent.
34 Raaxeelna way qaadday sanamyadii, oo waxay gelisay heeryadii awrta, wayna ku fadhiisatay. Laabaanna wuu ka wada baadhay teendhadii oo dhan, mana uu helin.
Rachel had put the household idols in a camel's saddlebag and was sitting on it. Laban carefully searched the whole tent but couldn't find them.
35 Oo waxay aabbeheed ku tidhi, Sayidkaygiiyow, ha u cadhoon inaanan istaagi karin, waayo, caadadii dumarku heli jiray baan qabaa. Isna wuu baadhay, laakiinse sanamyadii ma uu helin.
She said to her father, “Sir, please don't get upset with me for not standing up in your presence, but I have my period.” He looked everywhere but didn't find the idols.
36 Yacquubna wuu cadhooday, oo Laabaan wuu la murmay; Yacquubna wuu u jawaabay oo wuxuu Laabaan ku yidhi, Waa maxay xadgudubkaygu? Waa maxay dembigayga aad aawadiis aad iigu soo raacdaysatay?
Jacob got angry with Laban and confronted him, saying, “What crime am I guilty of? What wrong have I done to you that you've come hunting me down?
37 Waxaad baadhay alaabtayda oo dhan, ee maxaad ka heshay oo ah alaabtii gurigaaga? Halkan soo hor dhig walaalahayga iyo walaalahaaga, inay labadeenna inoo kala gar naqaan.
You've searched through all my possessions. Did you find anything belonging to you? If you did, bring it out here before my relatives and yours so they can decide who's right!
38 Labaatan sannadood baan kula joogay; laxahaaga iyo riyahaaguna dhicis ma dhalin, wananka idahaagiina ma aan cunin.
I've worked for you for these past twenty years. During that time none of your sheep and goats miscarried, and I haven't eaten a single ram from your flock.
39 Kuwii dugaagu ka cunayna kuuma aan keenin; laakiinse anaa kuu magdhabay, anaad i weyddiisan jirtay, ha ahaadeen wixii maalin lagaa xado ama wixii habeen lagaa xado ee.
If any of them were killed by wild animals, I never even brought you the carcass to prove the loss—I bore the loss myself. But you on the other hand always made me compensate you for any animals that were stolen, whether at night or in broad daylight.
40 Maalintii kulayl baa i dili jiray, habeenkiina dhaxan; hurdadiina waa iga tagtay. Oo sidaasaan ahaan jiray.
Whether it was sweating in the heat of the day, or freezing in the cold of the night when I couldn't sleep, I went on working for you for twenty years in your home.
41 Labaatan sannadood baan gurigaaga joogay; afar iyo toban sannadood waxaan kuugu shaqeeyey labadaada gabdhood aawadood, lix sannadoodna adhigaaga aawadiis. Mushahaaradaydiina waxaad beddeshay toban goor.
I worked fourteen years for your two daughters, and six more years with your flocks. You reduced my wages ten times!
42 Ilaaha aabbahay, oo ah Ilaaha Ibraahim, iyo kan Isxaaq ka cabsado, haddii uusan ila jirin, hubaal haatan waxaad i diri lahayd anoo faro madhan. Ilaah wuxuu arkay dhibaatadaydii iyo hawshii gacmahayga, kolkaasuu xalay ku canaantay.
If it weren't for the God of my father, the God of Abraham, the awesome God of Isaac, who took care of me, you would have dismissed me with nothing. But God saw my suffering, how hard I worked, and he condemned you last night.”
43 Laabaanna wuu u jawaabay oo wuxuu Yacquub ku yidhi, Gabdhuhu waa gabdhahayga, carruurtuna waa carruurtayda, adhiguna waa adhigayga, oo waxa aad aragto oo dhammuna waa waxayga, haddaba maxaan maanta ku samayn karaa gabdhahaygan, ama carruurtooda ay dhaleen?
Laban replied, “These are my daughters and these are my children and these are my flocks! In fact, everything you see here is mine! However, what can I do now about my daughters and their children?
44 Haddaba kaalay, aan aniga iyo adigu axdi dhigannee, hana noqdo markhaati ina dhex yaal aniga iyo adiga.
So let's make a solemn agreement between you and I, and it will be a witness to our mutual commitment.”
45 Markaasaa Yacquub dhagax soo qaaday, oo sidii tiir u qotomiyey.
Jacob took a stone and set it upright as a pillar.
46 Yacquubna wuxuu walaalihiis ku yidhi, Dhagaxyo soo ururiya; kolkaasay dhagaxyo soo gureen, oo meel taalleeyeen; kolkaasay taallada agteedii wax ku cuneen.
Then he told his relatives, “Go and collect some stones.” They all made a pile of stones and then sat beside it to eat a meal.
47 Laabaanna wuxuu meeshaas u bixiyey Yegar Sahaduta; Yacquubse wuxuu u bixiyey Galceed.
Laban called it Jegar-sahadutha, while Jacob called it Galeed.
48 Laabaanna wuxuu yidhi, Maanta taalladanu waa markhaati ina dhex yaal aniga iyo adiga. Sidaas daraaddeed waxaa magaceedii loo bixiyey Galceed, iyo Misfaah,
Laban announced, “This pile of stone serves as a witness between me and you.” This is why it was called Galeed.
49 waayo, wuxuu yidhi, Rabbigu ha dhawro aniga iyo adiga dhexdeenna markaynu kala maqan nahay.
It was also called Mizpah, for as Laban said, “May the Lord keep a close eye on both of us when we're not together.
50 Haddaad gabdhahayga dhibtid, ama aad naago kale gabdhahayga la guursatid, ninna inalama joogo, balse ogow, Ilaah baa markhaati dhexdeenna ka ah aniga iyo adiga.
If you treat my daughters badly or marry more wives in addition to them, God will see what you do even if no one else finds out!”
51 Laabaanna wuxuu Yacquub ku yidhi, Bal eeg taalladan, oo bal fiiri tiirka aan ina dhex dhigay aniga iyo adiga.
Then Laban told Jacob, “Look at this pile of stones and this pillar that I have set up as a memorial of the agreement between you and me.
52 Taalladanu markaati ha ka noqoto, tiirkuna markhaati ha ka noqdo, inaanan taalladan kuugu soo dhaafayn inaan wax ku yeelo, adna aadan taalladan iyo tiirkan iigu soo dhaafayn inaad wax i yeeshid.
They also act as a witness to our solemn promises to each other: I will not come past them to attack you; and you will not come past them to attack me.
53 Kan ah Ilaaha Ibraahim, iyo Ilaaha Naaxoor, iyo Ilaaha aabbahood, ha ina kala xukumo innaga. Yacquubna wuxuu ku dhaartay Kan aabbihiis Isxaaq ka cabsado.
May the God of Abraham and the God of Nahor—the God of our forefathers—be the one to judge between us in any dispute.” Jacob in turn made his solemn promise in the name of the awesome God of his father Isaac.
54 Yacquubna allabari buu buurtii ku bixiyey, walaalihiisna wuxuu ugu yeedhay inay wax cunaan; cuntadiina way cuneen, habeenkii oo dhanna buurtay joogeen.
Then he offered a sacrifice on the mountain and invited all his relatives to eat a meal there. They spent the night on the mountain.
55 Laabaanna aroor hore ayuu kacay, wiilashiisii iyo gabdhihiisiina wuu dhunkaday, wuuna u duceeyey; markaasuu Laabaan tegey, oo ku noqday meeshiisii.
Laban got up early in the morning and kissed his grandchildren and his daughters goodbye. He blessed them, and then left to go back home.
