Genesis 31

1 At narinig ni Jacob ang mga salita ng mga anak ni Laban, na nagsisipagsabi, Kinuha ni Jacob ang lahat ng sa ating ama; at doon sa mga sa ating ama ay tinamo niya ang buong karangalang ito.

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 At minasdan ni Jacob ang mukha ni Laban, at narito't hindi sumasa kaniyang gaya ng dati.

Jacob saw the expression on Laban’s face, and, behold, it was not toward him as before.

3 At sinabi ng Panginoon kay Jacob, Magbalik ka sa lupain ng iyong mga magulang, at sa iyong kamaganakan; at ako'y sasaiyo.

The LORD said to Jacob, “Return to the land of your fathers, and to your relatives, and I will be with you.”

4 At si Jacob ay nagsugo at tinawag si Raquel at si Lea sa bukid, sa kaniyang kawan,

Jacob sent and called Rachel and Leah to the field to his flock,

5 At sinabi sa kanila, Nakikita ko ang mukha ng inyong ama, na hindi sumasaakin na gaya ng dati; datapuwa't ang Dios ng aking ama ay sumaakin.

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 At nalalaman ninyo, na ang aking buong lakas ay ipinaglingkod ko sa inyong ama.

You know that I have served your father with all of my strength.

7 At dinaya ako ng inyong ama, at binagong makasangpu ang aking kaupahan; datapuwa't hindi pinahintulutan siya ng Dios, na gawan ako ng masama.

Your father has deceived me, and changed my wages ten times, but God did not allow him to hurt me.

8 Kung kaniyang sinabing ganito, Ang mga may batik ang magiging kaupahan mo; kung magkagayo'y nanganganak ang lahat ng kawan ng mga may batik: at kung kaniyang sinabing ganito, Ang mga may guhit ang magiging kaupahan mo; kung magkagayo'y ang lahat ng kawan ay manganganak ng mga may guhit.

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 Ganito inalis ng Dios ang mga hayop ng inyong ama, at ibinigay sa akin.

Thus God has taken away your father’s livestock, and given them to me.

10 At nangyari, na sa panahong ang kawan ay naglilihi, ay itiningin ko ang aking mga mata, at nakita ko sa panaginip, at narito, ang mga kambing na lalake na nakatakip sa kawan ay mga may guhit, may batik at may dungis.

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 At sinabi sa akin ng anghel ng Dios, sa panaginip, Jacob: at sinabi ko, Narito ako.

The angel of God said to me in the dream, ‘Jacob,’ and I said, ‘Here I am.’

12 At kaniyang sinabi, Itingin mo ngayon ang iyong mga mata, tingnan mo na ang lahat ng kambing na natatakip sa kawan ay may guhit, may batik at may dungis: sapagka't aking nakita ang lahat na ginagawa sa iyo ni Laban.

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 Ako ang Dios ng Betel, na doon mo pinahiran ng langis ang batong pinakaalaala, at doon ka gumawa ng panata sa akin: ngayo'y tumindig ka, umalis ka sa lupaing ito, at bumalik ka sa lupaing pinanganakan sa iyo.

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 At nagsisagot si Raquel at si Lea, at sa kaniya'y sinabi, Mayroon pa ba kaming natitirang bahagi o mana sa bahay ng aming ama?

Rachel and Leah answered him, “Is there yet any portion or inheritance for us in our father’s house?

15 Hindi ba inaari niya kaming taga ibang bayan? sapagka't ipinagbili niya kami at kaniyang lubos nang kinain ang aming halaga.

Are not we considered as foreigners by him? For he has sold us, and has also used up our money.

16 Sapagka't ang buong kayamanang inalis ng Dios sa aming ama, ay amin yaon at sa aming mga anak: ngayon nga, gawin mo ang lahat ng sinabi sa iyo ng Dios.

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 Nang magkagayo'y tumindig si Jacob, at pinasakay sa mga kamello ang kaniyang mga anak at ang kaniyang mga asawa;

Then Jacob rose up, and set his sons and his wives on the camels,

18 At dinala ang kaniyang lahat na hayop, at ang kaniyang buong pag-aaring tinipon, ang hayop na kaniyang napakinabang, na kaniyang tinipon, sa Padan-aram, upang pumaroon kay Isaac na kaniyang ama, sa lupain ng Canaan.

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 Si Laban nga ay yumaon upang gupitan ang kaniyang mga tupa: at ninakaw ni Raquel ang mga larawang tinatangkilik ng kaniyang ama.

Now Laban had gone to shear his sheep; and Rachel stole the teraphim that were her father’s.

20 At tumanan si Jacob na di nalalaman ni Laban na taga Siria, sa di niya pagbibigay alam na siya'y tumakas.

Jacob deceived Laban the Syrian, in that he did not tell him that he was running away.

21 Ganito tumakas si Jacob sangpu ng buong kaniya; at bumangon at tumawid sa ilog Eufrates, at siya'y tumungo sa bundok ng Gilead.

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 At binalitaan si Laban sa ikatlong araw, na tumakas si Jacob.

Laban was told on the third day that Jacob had fled.

23 At ipinagsama niya ang kaniyang mga kapatid, at hinabol niyang pitong araw; at kaniyang inabutan sa bundok ng Gilead.

He took his relatives with him, and pursued him seven days’ journey. He overtook him in the mountain of Gilead.

24 At naparoon ang Dios kay Laban na taga Siria, sa panaginip sa gabi, at sa kaniya'y sinabi, Ingatan mong huwag kang magsalita kay Jacob ng mabuti o masama man,

God came to Laban the Syrian in a dream of the night, and said to him, “Be careful that you do not speak to Jacob either good or bad.”

25 At inabutan ni Laban si Jacob, At naitirik na ni Jacob ang kaniyang tolda sa bundok; at si Laban sangpu ng kaniyang mga kapatid ay nagtirik din sa bundok ng Gilead.

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 At sinabi ni Laban kay Jacob, Anong ginawa mo na tumanan ka ng di ko nalalaman, at dinala mo ang aking mga anak na parang mangabihag sa tabak?

Laban said to Jacob, “What have you done, that you have deceived me, and carried away my daughters like captives of the sword?

27 Bakit ka tumakas ng lihim, at tumanan ka sa akin; at hindi mo ipinaalam sa akin, upang ikaw ay napagpaalam kong may sayahan at may awitan, may tambol at may alpa;

Why did you flee secretly, and deceive me, and did not tell me, that I might have sent you away with mirth and with songs, with tambourine and with harp;

28 At hindi mo man lamang ipinahintulot sa aking humalik sa aking mga anak na lalake at babae? Ngayon nga'y gumawa ka ng kamangmangan.

and did not allow me to kiss my sons and my daughters? Now have you done foolishly.

29 Nasa kapangyarihan ng aking kamay ang gawan ko kayo ng masama: nguni't ang Dios ng inyong ama ay kinausap ako kagabi, na sinasabi, Ingatan mong huwag kang magsalita kay Jacob ng mabuti o masama man.

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 do not speak to Jacob either good or bad.’

30 At ngayon, bagaman iyong inibig yumaon, sapagka't pinagmimithian mong datnin ang bahay ng iyong ama ay bakit mo ninakaw ang aking mga dios?

Now, you want to be gone, because you greatly longed for your father’s house, but why have you stolen my gods?”

31 At sumagot si Jacob, at sinabi kay Laban, Sapagka't ako'y natakot: sapagka't sinabi kong baka mo alising sapilitan sa akin ang iyong mga anak.

Jacob answered Laban, “Because I was afraid, for I said, ‘Lest you should take your daughters from me by force.’

32 Kaya kung kanino mo masumpungan ang iyong mga dios, ay huwag mabuhay: sa harap ng ating mga kapatid ay iyong kilalanin kung anong mayroon akong iyo, at dalhin mo sa iyo. Sapagka't hindi nalalaman ni Jacob na si Raquel ang nagnakaw.

Anyone you find your gods with shall not live. Before our relatives, discern what is yours with me, and take it.” For Jacob did not know that Rachel had stolen them.

33 At pumasok si Laban sa tolda ni Jacob, at sa tolda ni Lea, at sa tolda ng dalawang alilang babae, datapuwa't hindi niya nasumpungan; at lumabas sa tolda ni Lea, at pumasok sa tolda ni Raquel.

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 Nakuha nga ni Raquel ang mga larawan, at naisiksik sa mga daladalahan ng kamello at kaniyang inupuan. At inapuhap ni Laban ang buong palibot ng tolda, nguni't hindi niya nasumpungan.

Now Rachel had taken the teraphim, put them in the camel’s saddle, and sat on them. Laban felt around all the tent, but did not find them.

35 At sinabi niya sa kaniyang ama, Huwag magalit ang aking panginoon na ako'y hindi makatindig sa harap mo; sapagka't ako'y mayroon ng kaugalian ng mga babae. At kaniyang hinanap, datapuwa't hindi masumpungan ang mga larawan.

She said to her father, “Do not let my lord be angry that I cannot rise up before you; for I am having my period.” He searched, but did not find the teraphim.

36 At naginit si Jacob at nakipagtalo kay Laban, at sumagot si Jacob, at sinabi kay Laban, Ano ang aking sinalangsang at ang aking kasalanan, upang ako'y habulin mong may pagiinit?

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 Yamang inapuhap mo ang lahat ng aking kasangkapan, anong nasumpungan mong kasangkapan, ng iyong bahay? Ilagay mo rito sa harap ng aking mga kapatid at ng iyong mga kapatid, upang hatulan nila tayong dalawa.

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 Ako'y natira sa iyo nitong dalawang pung taon: ang iyong mga babaing tupa, at ang iyong mga babaing kambing ay hindi nawalan ng kanilang mga anak, at ang mga tupang lalake ng iyong kawan ay hindi ko kinain.

“These twenty years I have been with you. Your ewes and your female goats have not cast their young, and I have not eaten the rams of your flocks.

39 Ang nilapa ng mga ganid ay hindi ko dinala sa iyo; ako ang nagbata ng kawalan; sa aking kamay mo hiningi, maging nanakaw sa araw, o nanakaw sa gabi.

That which was torn of animals, I did not bring to you. I bore its loss. Of my hand you required it, whether stolen by day or stolen by night.

40 Ganito nakaraan ako; sa araw ay pinupugnaw ako ng init, at ng lamig sa gabi; at ang pagaantok ay tumatakas sa aking mga mata.

This was my situation: in the day the drought consumed me, and the frost by night; and my sleep fled from my eyes.

41 Nitong dalawang pung taon ay natira ako sa iyong bahay; pinaglingkuran kitang labing apat na taon dahil sa iyong dalawang anak, at anim na taon dahil sa iyong kawan: at binago mo ang aking kaupahan na makasangpu.

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 Kung hindi sumaakin ang Dios ng aking ama, ang Dios ni Abraham, at ang Katakutan ni Isaac, ay walang pagsalang palalayasin mo ako ngayong walang dala. Nakita ng Dios ang aking kapighatian, ang kapaguran ng aking mga kamay, at sinaway ka niya kagabi.

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 At sumagot si Laban at sinabi kay Jacob, Ang mga anak na babaing ito, ay aking mga anak at itong mga anak ay mga anak ko, at ang mga kawan ay mga kawan ko, at ang lahat ng iyong nakikita ay akin: at anong magagawa ko ngayon sa mga anak kong babae, o sa kanilang mga anak na ipinanganak nila?

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 At ngayo'y halika, gumawa tayo ng isang tipan, ako't ikaw na maging patotoo sa akin at sa iyo.

Now come, let’s make a covenant, you and I. Let it be for a witness between me and you.”

45 At kumuha si Jacob ng isang bato, at itinindig na pinakaalaala.

Jacob took a stone, and set it up for a pillar.

46 At sinabi ni Jacob sa kaniyang mga kapatid, Manguha kayo ng mga bato; at kumuha sila ng mga bato at kanilang ginawang isang bunton: at sila'y nagkainan doon sa malapit sa bunton.

Jacob said to his relatives, “Gather stones.” They took stones, and made a heap. They ate there by the heap.

47 At pinanganlan ni Laban na Jegarsahadutha, datapuwa't pinanganlan ni Jacob na Galaad.

Laban called it Jegar Sahadutha, but Jacob called it Galeed.

48 At sinabi ni Laban, Ang buntong ito ay saksi sa akin at sa iyo ngayon. Kaya't ang pangalan niya'y tinawag na Galaad;

Laban said, “This heap is witness between me and you today.” Therefore it was named Galeed

49 At Mizpa sapagka't kaniyang sinabi, Bantayan ng Panginoon ako at ikaw, pag nagkakahiwalay tayo.

and Mizpah, for he said, “The LORD watch between me and you, when we are absent one from another.

50 Kung pahirapan mo ang aking mga anak, o kung magasawa ka sa iba bukod sa aking mga anak, ay wala tayong ibang kasama; tingnan mo, ang Dios ay saksi sa akin at sa iyo.

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 At sinabi ni Laban kay Jacob, Narito, ang buntong ito at ang batong pinakaalaalang ito, na aking inilagay sa gitna natin.

Laban said to Jacob, “See this heap, and see the pillar, which I have set between me and you.

52 Maging saksi ang buntong ito, at saksi ang batong ito, na hindi ko lalagpasan ang buntong ito sa dako mo, at hindi mo lalagpasan ang buntong ito at ang batong pinakaalaalang ito sa pagpapahamak sa amin.

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 Ang Dios ni Abraham at ang Dios ni Nachor, ang Dios ng ama nila ay siyang humatol sa atin. At si Jacob ay sumumpa ng ayon sa Katakutan ng kaniyang amang si Isaac.

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 At naghandog si Jacob ng hain sa bundok, at tinawag ang kaniyang mga kapatid upang magsikain ng tinapay: at sila'y nagsikain ng tinapay, at sila'y nagparaan ng buong gabi sa bundok.

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 At bumangong maaga sa kinaumagahan si Laban, at hinagkan ang kaniyang mga anak na lalake at babae, at pinagbabasbasan: at yumaon at umuwi si Laban.

Early in the morning, Laban rose up, and kissed his sons and his daughters, and blessed them. Laban departed and returned to his place.
