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.

He heard the words of Laban's sons, saying, "Jacob has taken away all that was our father's. From that which was our father's he has gained all this wealth."

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 look, it was not as it had been.

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

Then God 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 where his flock was,

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 what it was 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.

Yet your father has cheated 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 this, 'The speckled will be your wages,' then all the flock bore speckled. If he said this, '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.

And it came about at the time when the flocks were breeding I looked up and saw in a dream, and look, the male goats which leaped on the flock were streaked, speckled, and spotted.

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 look, all the male goats which leap on the flock are streaked, speckled, and spotted, 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 a standing-stone, where you made a vow to me. Now arise, go 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.

Aren't we regarded by him as foreigners? For he has sold us, and he has used up 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.

For all the wealth which God has taken away from our father, that is 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 got up and put 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 property which he had acquired, including the livestock which he had gained in Paddan Aram, to go to Isaac his father in 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 idols that belonged to her father.

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

Jacob outwitted Laban the Aramean by not telling him that he intended to flee.

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 everything that he had, and he arose and crossed the River, and set out toward the hill country 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 after him for seven days, and caught up with 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,

God came to Laban the Aramean in a dream at 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 hill country, and Laban with his relatives camped in the hill country 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? You have deceived me, and carried away my daughters like captives taken in 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 flee in secret and deceive me, and not tell me, so that I might have sent you away with joy and singing, with a tambourine and with a lyre.

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 you did not allow me to kiss my sons and my daughters? Now you have 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 my power to do you harm, 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 have indeed gone away, because you longed greatly 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 thought that 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.

Anyone you find your gods with shall not live. In the presence of our relatives, identify what I have that is yours, and take it with you." 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 idols, put them in the camel's saddle, and sat on them. Laban searched the whole 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 can't rise up before you; for the manner of women is on me." 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 after 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 searched around in all my stuff, did you find anything from all of your household's belongings? Put it here before my relatives and your relatives, 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.

These twenty years I have been with you. Your ewes and your female goats have not miscarried their young, and I haven't 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 by animals I did not bring to you. I bore its loss. You demanded payment from me 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.

I was consumed by the heat during the day and by the frost at night, and sleepless nights.

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 one whom Isaac fears, had been with me, surely now you would have sent me away empty-handed. God has seen my harsh treatment and my hard work, 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: and what can I do this day 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.

So now, come, let us make a covenant, you and I, and let it be a witness between the two of us." And he said to him, "Look, there is no one with us; see, God is 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 as a standing-stone.

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." So they took stones and made a mound. They ate there by the mound.

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 mound is a 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, "God 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 mistreat my daughters, or if you take wives besides my daughters, although no one is with us; see, 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 mound, and see the standing-stone, 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 mound be a witness, and the standing-stone be a witness, that I will not pass over this mound to you, and that you will not pass over this mound and this standing-stone to me, to do 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 on the mountain, and called his relatives to eat the meal. They ate the meal and stayed all 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 in the morning, Laban rose up, and kissed his sons and his daughters, and blessed them. Laban departed and returned to his place.
