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.

Now Jacob heard that Laban’s sons were saying, “Jacob has taken away all that belonged to our father and built all this wealth at our father’s expense.”

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

And Jacob saw from the countenance of Laban that his attitude toward him had changed.

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

Then the LORD said to Jacob, “Go back to the land of your fathers and to your kindred, and I will be with you.”

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

So Jacob sent word and called Rachel and Leah to the field where his flocks were,

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 he told them, “I can see from your father’s countenance that his attitude toward me has changed; 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 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.

And although he has cheated me and changed my wages ten times, God has not allowed him to harm 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 the whole flock bore speckled offspring. If he said, ‘The streaked will be your wages,’ then the whole flock bore streaked offspring.

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.

When the flocks were breeding, I saw in a dream that the streaked, spotted, and speckled males were mating with the females.

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

In that dream the angel of God said to me, ‘Jacob!’ And I replied, ‘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.

‘Look up,’ he said, ‘and see that all the males that are mating with the flock are streaked, spotted, or speckled; for I have seen all that Laban has done 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 the pillar and made a solemn vow to Me. Now get up and leave this land at once, and return to your native land.’”

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?

And Rachel and Leah replied, “Do we have any portion or inheritance left 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 we not regarded by him as outsiders? Not only has he sold us, but he has certainly squandered what was paid for us.

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.

Surely all the wealth that God has taken away from our father belongs to us and to our children. So do whatever God has told you.”

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

Then Jacob got up and put his children and his wives on 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 drove all his livestock before him, along with all the possessions he had acquired in Paddan-aram, to go to his father Isaac in the land in 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 while Laban was out shearing his sheep, Rachel stole her father’s household idols.

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

Moreover, Jacob deceived Laban the Aramean by not telling 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 his possessions, crossed the Euphrates, and headed for the hill country of Gilead.

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

On the third day Laban was informed that Jacob had fled.

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

So he took his relatives with him, pursued Jacob for seven days, and overtook him in the hill country 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,

But that night God came to Laban the Aramean in a dream and warned him, “Be careful not to say anything 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.

Now Jacob had pitched his tent in the hill country of Gilead when Laban overtook him, and Laban and his relatives camped there as well.

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?

Then Laban said to Jacob, “What have you done? You have deceived me and carried off my daughters like captives of war!

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 run away secretly and deceive me, without even telling me? I would have sent you away with joy and singing, with tambourines and harps.

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.

But you did not even let me kiss my grandchildren and my daughters goodbye. Now you have done a foolish thing.

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.

I have power to do you great harm, but last night the God of your father said to me, ‘Be careful not to say anything 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 have gone off because you long 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.

“I was afraid,” Jacob answered, “for I thought you would 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.

If you find your gods with anyone here, he shall not live! In the presence of our relatives, see for yourself if anything is yours, and take it back.” For Jacob did not know that Rachel had stolen the idols.

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.

So Laban went into Jacob’s tent, then Leah’s tent, and then the tents of the two maidservants, but he found nothing. Then he left Leah’s tent and entered 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 Laban’s household idols, put them in the saddlebag of her camel, and was sitting on them. And Laban searched everything in the tent but found nothing.

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.

Rachel said to her father, “Sir, do not be angry that I cannot stand up before you; for I am having my period.” So Laban searched, but could not find the household idols.

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?

Then Jacob became incensed and challenged Laban. “What is my crime?” he said. “For what sin of mine have you so 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.

You have searched all my goods! Have you found anything that belongs to you? Put it here before my brothers and yours, that they may judge between the two of us.

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.

I have been with you for twenty years now. Your sheep and goats have not miscarried, nor have I eaten the rams of your flock.

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.

I did not bring you anything torn by wild beasts; I bore the loss myself. And you demanded payment from me for what was stolen by day or 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.

As it was, the heat consumed me by day and the frost by night, and 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.

Thus for twenty years I have served in your household—fourteen years for your two daughters and six years for your flocks—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.

If the God of my father, the God of Abraham and the Fear of Isaac, had not been with me, surely by now you would have sent me away empty-handed. But God has seen my affliction and the toil of my hands, and last night He rendered judgment.”

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?

But Laban answered Jacob, “These daughters are my daughters, these sons are my sons, and these flocks are my flocks! Everything you see is mine! Yet what can I do today about these daughters of mine or the children they have borne?

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

Come now, let us make a covenant, you and I, and let it serve as a witness between you and me.”

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

So Jacob picked out a stone and set it up as 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.

and he said to his relatives, “Gather some stones.” So they took stones and made a mound, and there by the mound they ate.

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

Laban called it Jegar-sahadutha, and 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;

Then Laban declared, “This mound is a witness between you and me this day.” Therefore the place was called Galeed.

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

It was also called Mizpah, because Laban said, “May the LORD keep watch between you and me when we are absent from each other.

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 mistreat my daughters or take other wives, although no one is with us, remember that God is a witness between you and me.”

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

Laban also said to Jacob, “Here is the mound, and here is the pillar I have set up between you and me.

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.

This mound is a witness, and this pillar is a witness, that I will not go past this mound to harm you, and you will not go past this mound and pillar to harm me.

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.

May the God of Abraham and the God of Nahor, the God of their father, judge between us.” So 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.

Then Jacob offered a sacrifice on the mountain and invited his relatives to eat a meal. And after they had eaten, they spent the night on 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 the next morning, Laban got up and kissed his grandchildren and daughters and blessed them. Then he left to return home.
