Mwanzo 31
1 Basi Yakobo akasikia maneno ya wana wa Labani, wakisema, “Yakobo amechukuwa yote yaliyokuwa ya baba yetu, na ni kutoka katika mali ya baba yetu amepata utajiri wake.”
And he heard [the] words of [the] sons of Laban saying he has taken Jacob all that [belonged] to father our and from [that] which [belonged] to father our he has acquired all the abundance this.
2 Yakobo akaona mwonekano katika uso wa Labani. Akaona kwamba nia yake imebadilika.
And he saw Jacob [the] face of Laban and there! not [was] he with him as yesterday three days ago.
3 Kisha Yahwe akamwambia Yakobo, “Rudi katika nchi ya baba zako na ya ndugu zako, nami nitakuwa nawe.”
And he said Yahweh to Jacob return to [the] land of fathers your and to kindred your so I may be with you.
4 Yakobo akatuma kuwaita Raheli na Lea uwandani katika kundi lake la kondoo
And he sent Jacob and he summoned Rachel and Leah the field to flock his.
5 naye akawambia, “Naona nia ya baba yenu kwangu imebadilika, lakini Mungu wa baba yangu amekuwa nami.
And he said to them [am] seeing I [the] face of father your that not [is] he to me as yesterday three days ago and [the] God of father my he has been with me.
6 Nanyi mnajua kwamba ni kwa nguvu zangu zote nimemtumikia baba yenu.
And you you know that with all strength my I have served father your.
7 Baba yenu amenidanganya na amebadilisha ujira wangu mara kumi, lakini Mungu hakumruhusu kunidhuru.
And father your he has deceived me and he has changed wage[s] my ten times and not he has permitted him God to do harm with me.
8 Ikiwa alisema, 'Wanyama wenye mabaka watakuwa ujira wako,' ndipo kondoo wote walipozaa watoto wenye mabaka. Na aliposema, wenye milia watakuwa ujira wako,' ndipo kundi lote lilipozaa watoto wenye milia.
If thus he said speckled [ones] it will be wage[s] your and they bore all the flock speckled [ones] and if thus he said striped [ones] it will be wage[s] your and they bore all the flock striped [ones].
9 Kwa njia hii Mungu amemnyang'anya mifugo baba yenu na kunipa mimi.
And he has taken away God [the] livestock of father your and he has given [it] to me.
10 Wakati fulani wa majira ya kupandana, niliona katika ndoto mabeberu yaliyowapanda kundi. Mabeberu yalikuwa ya milia, mabaka na madoa.
And it was at [the] time mated the flock and I lifted up eyes my and I saw in a dream and there! the male goats which were going up on the flock [were] striped speckled and mottled.
11 Malaika wa Mungu akaniambia katika ndoto, 'Yakobo.' Nikasema, 'Mimi hapa.'
And he said to me [the] angel of God in a dream O Jacob and I said here [am] I.
12 Akasema, 'Inua macho yako uone mabeberu wanaolipanda kundi. Wana milia, madoa na na mabaka, kwani nimeona kila jambo Labani analokutendea.
And he said lift up please eyes your and see all the male goats which are going up on the flock [are] striped speckled and mottled for I have seen all that Laban [is] doing to you.
13 Mimi ni Mungu wa Betheli, mahali ulipoitia nguzo mafuta, mahali uliponitolea nadhiri. Basi sasa inuka na uondoke katika nchi hii na kurudi katika nchi uliyozaliwa.
I [am] the God of Beth-el where you anointed there a pillar where you vowed to me there a vow now arise go out from the land this and return to [the] land of kindred your.
14 Raheli na Lea wakajibu na kumwambia, “Je kuna sehemu yoyote au urithi wetu katika nyumba ya baba yetu?
And she answered Rachel and Leah and they said to him ¿ still [belong] to us [does] a share and an inheritance in [the] household of father our.
15 Je hatutendei kama wageni? Kwa maana ametuuza na kwa ujumla ametapanya pesa zetu.
¿ Not foreigners are we accounted by him for he has sold us and he has consumed also continuously money our.
16 Mali zote ambazo sasa Mungu amemnyang'anya baba yetu ni zetu na watoto wetu. Sasa basi, lolote Mungu alilokuambia, fanya.
For all the wealth which he has taken away God from father our [belongs] to us it and to children our and therefore all that he has said God to you do.
17 Kisha Yakobo akainuka na kuwapandisha wanawe na wakeze kwenye ngamia.
And he arose Jacob and he lifted up children his and wives his on camels.
18 Akawaongoza mifugo wake wote mbele yake, pamoja na mali zake zote, wakiwemo wanyama aliowapata huko Padani Aramu. Kisha akaenda kuelekea kwa Isaka baba yake katika nchi ya Kanaani.
And he drove all livestock his and all possession[s] his which he had accumulated [the] livestock of acquisition his which he had accumulated in Paddan Aram to go to Isaac father his [the] land of towards Canaan.
19 Labani alipokuwa amekwenda kuwakata manyoya kondoo wake, Raheli akaiba miungu ya nyumba ya baba yake.
And Laban he had gone to shear sheep his and she stole Rachel the teraphim which [belonged] to father her.
20 Yakobo pia akamdanganya Labani Mwarami, kwa kutomtaarifu kwamba anaondoka.
And he stole Jacob [the] heart of Laban the Aramean on not he told to him that [was] fleeing he.
21 Hivyo akaondoka na vyote alivyokuwa navyo na kwa haraka akavuka mto, na akaenda kuelekea nchi ya vilima ya Gileadi.
And he fled he and all that [belonged] to him and he arose and he passed over the river and he set face his [the] hill country of Gilead.
22 Siku ya tatu Labani akaambiwa kwamba Yakobo amekimbia.
And it was told to Laban on the day third that he had fled Jacob.
23 Hivyo akawachukua ndugu zake pamoja naye na kumfuatia kwa safari ya siku saba. Akampata katika nchi ya vilima ya Gileadi.
And he took relatives his with him and he pursued after him a journey of seven days and he overtook him in [the] hill country of Gilead.
24 Basi Mungu akaja kwa Labani Mwarami katika ndoto usiku na kumwambia, “Ujiadhari kumwambia Yakobo jambo lolote liwe jema au baya.”
And he came God to Laban the Aramean in [the] dream of the night and he said to him take heed to yourself lest you should speak with Jacob from good unto bad.
25 Labani akampata Yakobo. Basi Yakobo alikuwa amepiga hema yake katika nchi ya vilima. Labani pia akapiga kambi pamoja na ndugu zake katika nchi ya kilima ya Gileadi.
And he overtook Laban Jacob and Jacob he had pitched tent his in the hill country and Laban he pitched tent with relatives his in [the] hill country of Gilead.
26 Labani akamwambia Yakobo, “Umefanya nini, kwamba umewachukua binti zangu kama mateka wa vita?
And he said Laban to Jacob what? have you done and you have stolen heart my and you have led away daughters my like captives of [the] sword.
27 Kwa nini umekimbia kwa siri na kunihadaa kwa kutokuniambia? Ningekuruhusu uondoke kwa sherehe na kwa nyimbo, kwa matari na vinubi.
Why? did you hide yourself to flee and did you steal? me and not did you tell? to me and I sent away you with gladness and with songs with tambourine and with harp.
28 Haukuniacha niwabusu wajukuu wangu na binti zangu kwa kuwaaga. Basi umefanya upumbavu.
And not did you allow? me to kiss sons my and daughters my now you have behaved foolishly to do.
29 Iko katika uwezo wangu kukudhuru, lakini Mungu wa baba yako alisema nami usiku wa leo na kuniambia, 'Jiadhari usimwambie Yakobo neno la heri wala shari.'
There [is] to [the] power of hand my to do with you harm and [the] God of father your last night - he said to me saying take heed to yourself from speaking with Jacob from good unto bad.
30 Na sasa, umeondoka kwa sababu umeitamani sana nyumba ya baba yako. Lakini kwa nini umeiba miungu yangu?
And now certainly you have gone for certainly you longed for [the] household of father your why? did you steal gods my.
31 Yakobo akajibu na kumwambia Labani, “Ni kwa sababu niliogopa na kudhani kuwa ungeninyang'anya binti zako kwa nguvu ndiyo maana nikaondoka kwa siri.
And he answered Jacob and he said to Laban that I was afraid for I said lest you should tear away daughters your from with me.
32 Yeyote aliyeiiba miungu yako hataendelea kuishi. Mbele ya ndugu zetu, onesha chochote kilichochako nilichonacho na uchukue.” Kwa maana Yakobo hakujua kwamba Raheli alikuwa ameviiba.
With [anyone] whom you will find gods your not he will live before relatives our investigate for yourself what? [is] with me and take [it] for yourself and not he knew Jacob that Rachel she had stolen them.
33 Labani akaingia katika hema ya Yakobo, katika hema ya Lea, na katika hema za wale wajakazi wawili, lakini hakuviona. Akatoka katika hema ya Lea na kuingia katika hema ya Raheli.
And he went Laban in [the] tent of Jacob - and in [the] tent of Leah and in [the] tent of [the] two the maidservants and not he found [them] and he came out from [the] tent of Leah and he went in [the] tent of Rachel.
34 Basi Raheli alikuwa ameichukua miungu ya nyumbani, na kuiweka katika ngozi ya ngamia, na kukaa juu yake. Labani akatafuta katika hema yote, lakini hakuiona.
And Rachel she had taken the teraphim and she had put them in [the] saddlebag of the camel and she sat on them and he searched Laban all the tent and not he found [them].
35 Akamwambia baba yake, “Usikasirike, bwana wangu, kwamba siwezi kusimama mbele yako, kwani nipo katika kipindi changu.” Hivyo akatafuta lakini hakuiona miungu ya nyumbani mwake.
And she said to father her may not it burn in [the] eyes of lord my that not I am able to rise from before you for [the] way of women [belongs] to me and he searched and not he found the teraphim.
36 Yakobo akakasirika na kuojiana na Labani. Akamwambia, “Kosa langu ni nini? Dhambi yangu ni ipi, hata ukanifuatia kwa ukali?
And it burned to Jacob and he quarreled with Laban and he answered Jacob and he said to Laban what? [is] transgression my what? [is] sin my that you have hotly pursued after me.
37 Kwa maana umechunguza mali zangu zote. Umeona nini kati ya kitu chochote cha nyumbani mwako? Viweke hapa mbele ya ndugu zetu, ili waamue kati yetu wawili.
That you have searched all things my what? did you find of all [the] things of household your put [it] thus before relatives my and relatives your so they may decide between [the] two of us.
38 Kwa miaka ishirini nimekuwa nawe. Kondoo wako na mbuzi wako hawakutoa mimba, wala sikula dume lolote la kondoo katika wanyama wako.
This twenty year[s] I [have been] with you ewes your and female goats your not they have miscarried and [the] rams of flock your not I have eaten.
39 Kilichoraruliwa na hayawani sikukuletea. Badala yake, nilichukua upotevu huo, kwamba wameibwa mchana au usiku.
A torn animal not I brought to you I I bore [the] loss of it from hand my you sought it [one] stolen of day and [one] stolen of night.
40 Nilikuwepo wakati wote; mchana joto lilinipata, na baridi wakati wa usiku; na sikupata usingizi.
I was in the day it consumed me heat and frost in the night and it fled sleep my from eyes my.
41 Miaka hii ishirini nimekuwa katika nyumba yako. Nilikufanyia kazi miaka kumi na nne kwa ajili ya binti zako wawili, na miaka sita kwa ajili ya wanyama wako. Umebadili ujira wangu mara kumi.
This [belonged] to me twenty year[s] in household your I served you four-teen year[s] for [the] two daughters your and six years for flock[s] your and you changed wage[s] my ten times.
42 Isipokuwa Mungu wa baba yangu, Mungu wa Ibrahimu, yule Isaka anayemwofu, amekuwa nami, bila shaka sasa ungenipeleka mikono mitupu. Mungu ameliona teso langu na jinsi nilivyofanya kazi kwa bidii, na hivyo akakukemea usiku wa leo.
If not [the] God of father my [the] God of Abraham and [the] fear of Isaac he had been to me for now empty you sent away me affliction my and ([the] toil of *LB(ah)*) hands my he has seen God and he decided last night.
43 Labani akajibu na kumwambia Yakobo, “Mabinti hawa ni mabinti zangu, wajukuu ni wajukuu wangu, na wanyama ni wanyama wangu. Yote uyaonayo ni yangu. Lakini nitafanya nini leo kwa hawa binti zangu, au kwa watoto wao waliowazaa?
And he answered Laban and he said to Jacob the daughters [are] daughters my and the children [are] children my and the flock [is] flock my and all that you [are] seeing [belongs] to me it and for daughters my what? will I do for these this day or for children their whom they have borne.
44 Hivyo sasa, na tufanye agano, wewe nami, na liwe shahidi kati yangu nawe.”
And therefore come! let us make a covenant I and you and it will become a witness between me and between you.
45 Hivyo Yakobo akachukua jiwe na kuliweka kama nguzo.
And he took Jacob a stone and he raised up it a pillar.
46 Yakobo akawambia ndugu zake, “Kusanyeni mawe.” Hivyo wakachukua mawe na kufanya rundo. Kisha wakala pale kati ya lile rundo.
And he said Jacob to relatives his gather stones and they took stones and they made a heap and they ate there at the heap.
47 Labani aliliita Yega Saha Dutha, lakini Yakobo akaiita Galeedi
And he called it Laban Jegar Sahadutha and Jacob he called it Galeed.
48 Labani akasema, “Rundo hili ni shahidi kati yangu nawe leo.” Kwa hiyo jina lake likaitwa Galedi.
And he said Laban the heap this [is] a witness between me and between you this day there-fore (he called *LA(bh)*) name its Galeed.
49 Inaitwa pia Mispa, kwa sababu Labani alisema, “Yahwe na atuangalie mimi nawe, tunapokuwa hatuonani.
And Mizpah that he said may he keep watch Yahweh between me and between you for we will be hidden each from neighbor his.
50 Ikiwa utawatesa binti zangu, au ikiwa utachukua wanawake wengine mbali na binti zangu, japokuwa hakuna mwingine yupo nasi, tazama, Mungu ni shahidi kati yangu nawe.”
If you will mistreat daughters my and if you will take wives to daughters my there not [is] anyone with us see God [is] a witness between me and between you.
51 Labani akamwambia Yakobo, Tazama rundo hili, na tazama nguzo, nililoliweka kati yako nami.
And he said Laban to Jacob here! - the heap this and here! the pillar which I have set up between me and between you.
52 Rundo hili ni shahidi, na nguzo ni shahidi, kwamba sitapita rundo hili kuja kwako, na kwamba wewe hautapita rundo hili kuja kwangu, kwa madhara.
[is] a witness The heap this and [is] a witness the pillar if I not I will pass beyond to you the heap this and if you not you will pass beyond to me the heap this and the pillar this for harm.
53 Mungu wa Ibrahimu, na mungu wa Nahori, miungu ya baba zao, waamue kati yetu.”Yakobo akaapa kwa Hofu ya Isaka baba yake.
[the] God of Abraham and [the] God of Nahor may they judge between us [the] God of father their and he swore Jacob by [the] fear of father his Isaac.
54 Yakobo akatoa sadaka juu ya mlima na akawaita ndugu zake kula chakula. Walikula na kukaa usiku kucha juu ya mlima.
And he sacrificed Jacob a sacrifice in the hill country and he invited relatives his to eat food and they ate food and they stayed [the] night in the hill country.
55 Labani akaamka asubuhi na mapema, akawabusu wajuu zake na binti zake na kuwabariki. Kisha Labani akaondoka na kurudi kwake.
And he rose early Laban in the morning and he kissed sons his and daughters his and he blessed them and he went and he returned Laban to own place his.
