Бытие 31

1 Слыша же Иаков словеса сынов Лавановых, глаголющих: взя Иаков вся яже отца нашего, и от сущих отца нашего сотвори всю славу сию.

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 И виде Иаков лице Лаване, и се не бяше к нему, яко вчера и третияго дне.

Jacob saw the expression on Laban's face, and look, it was not as it had been.

3 Рече же Господь ко Иакову: возвратися в землю отца твоего и в род твой, и буду с тобою.

Then God said to Jacob, "Return to the land of your fathers, and to your relatives, and I will be with you."

4 Послав же Иаков, призва Лию и Рахиль на поле, идеже бяху стада,

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

5 и рече им: вижду аз лице отца вашего, яко несть ко мне, якоже вчера и третияго дне: Бог же отца моего бе со мною:

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 и вы сами весте, яко всею силою моею работах отцу вашему:

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

7 отец же ваш обиде мя и измени мзду мою десяти агнцев, но не даде ему Бог зла сотворити мне.

Yet your father has cheated me and changed my wages ten times, but God did not allow him to hurt me.

8 Аще сице речет: пестрыя, будет твоя мзда: и родятся вся овцы пестрыя. Аще же речет: белыя, будет твоя мзда: и родятся вся овцы белыя.

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 И отя Бог вся скоты отца вашего и даде я мне.

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

10 И бысть егда зачинаху овцы во чреве приемлющя, и видех очима моима во сне: и се, козлы и овны восходяще бяху на овцы и козы, беловатыя и пестрыя и пепеловидныя пестрыя.

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 И рече ми Ангел Божий во сне: Иакове. Аз же рех: что есть?

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

12 И рече: воззри очима твоима и виждь козлы и овны восходящыя на овцы и козы, белыя и пестрыя и пепеловидныя пестрыя: видех бо, елика тебе Лаван творит:

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 Аз есмь Бог явивыйся тебе на Месте Божии, идеже помазал Ми еси тамо столп, и обетовал Ми еси тамо обет: ныне убо востани и изыди от земли сея, и иди в землю рождения твоего, и буду с тобою.

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 И отвещавши Рахиль и Лиа, рекосте ему: еда есть нам еще часть или наследие в дому отца нашего?

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

15 Не яко ли чужыя вменихомся ему? Продаде бо нас и снеде снедию сребро наше:

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

16 все богатство и слава, юже отя Бог от отца нашего, нам будет и чадом нашым: ныне убо, елика тебе рече Бог, твори.

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 Востав же Иаков, взя жены своя и дети своя на велблюды,

Then Jacob got up and put his sons and his wives on the camels,

18 и забра вся имения своя и вся стяжания, яже притяжа в Месопотамии, и вся своя, еже отити ко Исааку отцу своему в землю Ханаанскую.

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 Лаван же отиде острищи овцы своя: украде же Рахиль идолы отца своего.

Now Laban had gone to shear his sheep, and Rachel stole the idols that belonged to her father.

20 Утаи же Иаков от Лавана Сирина, не поведати ему, яко уходит,

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

21 и отбеже сам, и вся яже его, и прейде реку, и взыде на гору Галаад.

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 Поведася же Лавану Сирину в третий день, яко бежа Иаков:

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

23 и поим сыны и братию свою с собою, гна вслед его путем седмь дний: и достиже его на горе Галаад.

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 Прииде же Бог к Лавану Сирину нощию во сне и рече ему: блюди себе, да не когда возглаголеши ко Иакову зла.

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 И постиже Лаван Иакова: Иаков же постави кущу свою на горе: Лаван же разстави братию свою на горе Галаад.

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 Рече же Лаван Иакову: что сотворил еси? Вскую тайно ушел еси и окрал еси мя, и отвел дщери моя, яко пленницы оружием?

Laban said to Jacob, "What have you done? You have deceived me, and carried away my daughters like captives taken in war?

27 И аще бы ми поведал еси, отпустил бых тя с веселием и с мусикиею, и тимпаны и гусльми:

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 и не сподобихся целовати детей моих и дщерей моих: ныне же несмысленно сотворил еси:

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

29 и ныне рука моя может озлобити тя. Но Бог отца твоего вчера рече ко мне, глаголя: блюди себе, да не когда возглаголеши ко Иакову зла.

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 Ныне убо отшел еси: желанием бо возжелал еси отити в дом отца твоего: вскую украл еси боги моя?

Now you have indeed gone away, because you longed greatly for your father's house. But why have you stolen my gods?"

31 Отвещав же Иаков рече к Лавану: понеже убояхся: рех бо, да не како отимеши дщери твоя от мене, и вся моя.

Jacob answered Laban, "Because I was afraid, for I thought that you would take your daughters from me by force.'

32 И рече Иаков: у негоже аще обрящеши боги твоя, да не будет жив пред братиею нашею: узнавай, что есть твоего у мене, и возми. И не позна у него ничтоже: не ведяше же Иаков, яко Рахиль жена его украде я.

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 Вшед же Лаван, оыска в кущи Лиине, и не обрете. И изыде из кущи Лиины, и оыска кущу Иаковлю и в кущи двоих рабынь, и не обрете. Вниде же и в кущу Рахилину.

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 Рахиль же взя идолы и положи оныя под седло велблюже и седе на них,

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 и рече отцу своему: не имей себе тяжко, господине: не могу востати пред тобою, яко обычная женская ми суть. Иска же Лаван по всей кущи, и не обрете идолов.

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 Разгневася же Иаков и пряшеся с Лаваном. Отвещав же Иаков рече Лавану: кая неправда моя? И кий грех мой, яко погнал еси вслед мене,

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 и яко оыскал еси вся сосуды дому моего? Что обрел еси от всех сосудов дому твоего? Положи зде пред братиею твоею и братиею моею, и да разсудят между обема нама:

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 се, двадесять лет аз есмь с тобою: овцы твоя и козы твоя не быша без плода: овнов овец твоих не поядох:

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 звероядины не принесох к тебе: аз воздаях тебе от мене самаго татбины денныя и татбины нощныя:

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 бых во дни жегомь зноем, и студению в нощи, и отхождаше сон от очию моею:

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

41 се, мне двадесять лет аз есмь в дому твоем, работах тебе четыренадесять лет двух ради дщерей твоих и шесть лет за овцы твоя, и преобидел еси мзду мою десятию агницами:

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 аще не бы Бог отца моего Авраама, и страх Исаака был мне, ныне тща отпустил бы мя еси: смирение мое и труд руку моею увиде Бог, и обличи тя вчера.

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 Отвещав же Лаван, рече ко Иакову: дщери дщери моя и сынове сынове мои, и скоти скоти мои, и вся елика ты видиши моя суть и дщерей моих: что сотворю им днесь, или чадом их, яже родиста?

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 Ныне убо гряди, завещаим завет аз и ты: и будет во свидетелство между мною и тобою. Рече же ему Иаков: се, никтоже с нами есть: виждь, Бог свидетель между мною и тобою.

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 И взем Иаков камень, постави его в столп.

Jacob took a stone and set it up as a standing-stone.

46 Рече же Иаков братии своей: соберите камение. И собраша камение и сотвориша холм: и ядоша, и пиша тамо на холме. Рече же ему Лаван: холм сей свидетелствует между мною и тобою днесь.

Jacob said to his relatives, "Gather stones." So they took stones and made a mound. They ate there by the mound.

47 И прозва его Лаван холм Свидетелства: Иаков же прозва холм Свидетель.

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

48 Рече же Лаван ко Иакову: се, холм сей и столп, егоже поставих между мною и тобою, свидетелствует холм сей и свидетелствует столп сей: сего ради прозвася имя холм Свидетелствует,

Laban said, "This mound is a witness between me and you today." Therefore it was named Galeed

49 и Видение, еже рече: да видит Бог между мною и тобою, яко отидем друг от друга:

and Mizpah, for he said, "God watch between me and you, when we are absent one from another.

50 аще смириши дщери моя, аще поймеши жены над дщери моя виждь, никтоже с нами есть видяй: Бог свидетель между мною и между тобою.

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 И рече Лаван Иакову: се, холм сей свидетель и столп сей:

Laban said to Jacob, "See this mound, and see the standing-stone, which I have set between me and you.

52 аще бо аз не прейду к тебе, ниже ты да прейдеши ко мне холма сего и столпа сего со злобою:

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 Бог Авраамль и Бог Нахоров да судит между нама. И кляся Иаков страхом отца своего Исаака,

The God of Abraham, and the God of Nahor, judge between us." Then Jacob swore by the fear of his father Isaac.

54 и пожре Иаков жертву на горе и воззва братию свою: ядоша же и пиша и спаша на горе.

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 Востав же Лаван заутра, лобыза сыны и дщери своя и благослови я: и возвратився Лаван, отиде на место свое.

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