Genesis 31
1 Someone told Jacob that Laban’s sons were complaining and saying, “Jacob has become very rich by taking everything [HYP] that belonged to our father.”
Karon nadunggan ni Jacob ang mga pulong sa mga anak nga lalaki ni Laban, nga sila miingon, “Gikuha ni Jacob ang tanan nga iya sa atong amahan, ug gikan sa gipanag-iyahan sa atong amahan ang tanan nga niyang katigayonan.”
2 And Jacob noticed that Laban was not acting friendly toward him as he had done before.
Nakita ni Jacob ang panagway ni Laban. Nakita niya nga nausab ang tinagdan ni Laban ngadto kaniya.
3 Then Yahweh said to Jacob, “Go back to your country and your relatives, and I will help you there.”
Unya miingon si Yahweh kang Jacob, “Balik ngadto sa yuta sa imong katigulangan ug sa imong kaparyentihan, ug mag-uban ako kanimo.”
4 So Jacob sent a message to Rachel and Leah, telling them to come out to the pastures where his flocks of sheep and goats were.
Gipatawag ni Jacob si Raquel ug si Lea didto sa sibsibanan sa panon sa iyang mananap
5 When they arrived, he said to them, “I see that your father does not act friendly toward me as he did previously. But God, whom my father worshiped, has helped me.
ug miingon kanila, “Namatikdan nako nga nausab ang tinagdan sa inyong amahan nganhi kanako, apan ang Dios sa akong amahan nakig-uban kanako.
6 You two know that I have worked very hard for your father,
Nasayod kamo nga sa tibuok nakong kusog nag-alagad ako sa inyong amahan.
7 but many times [HYP] he has cheated me by decreasing my wages. But God has not allowed him to harm me.
Gilimbongan ako sa inyong amahan ug giusab-usab niya ang akong suhol sa napulo ka higayon, apan ang Dios wala motugot kaniya sa pagpasakit kanako.
8 When Laban said, ‘The speckled animals are the ones that I will give you to be your wages,’ then all the animals gave birth to young ones that were speckled. When he changed and said, ‘The ones that have black and white stripes on them will be your wages,’ then all the animals gave birth to young ones that were striped.
Sa dihang miingon siya, 'Ang mga puntik-puntikon nga mananap mao ang imong bayad,' nanganak ang tanang panon sa mananap ug puntik-puntikon. Ug sa dihang miingon siya, 'Ang adunay badlis-badlis mao ang imong bayad,' nanganak ang tibuok panon sa mananap ug adunay badlis-badlis.
9 In that way, God has taken away the livestock that belonged to your father and has given them to me.
Ingon niini nga paagi gikuha sa Dios ang mga mananap sa imong amahan ug gihatag kini nganhi kanako.
10 “One time, when the animals were mating, I had a dream. In my dream I [looked up and was surprised to] see that some of the male goats that were mating with the female goats had black and white stripes on them, some were speckled, and some were spotted.
Usa ka higayon sa panahon sa tingsanay sa mga mananap, nakita ko sa damgo nga ang mga laki nga kanding nakig-upa sa panon sa kanding. Ang mga laki nga kanding nga adunay badlis-badlis, mga puntik-puntikon, ug mga kabang.
11 An angel who was sent by God said to me in the dream, ‘Jacob!’ I replied, ‘I am here!’
Miingon ang anghel sa Dios kanako diha sa damgo, 'Jacob.' Mitubag ako, 'Ania ako.'
12 He said to me, ‘Look up and you will see that all the male goats that are mating have black and white stripes on them, or are speckled or spotted. This is happening because I have seen all that Laban has done to you.
Miingon siya, 'Itutok ang imong mata ug tan-awa ang tanang mga kanding nga laki nga ning-upa sa panon sa kanding nga adunay badlis-badlis, ug puntik-puntikon, ug kabang, tungod kay nakita ko ang tanan nga gibuhat ni Laban kanimo.
13 I am God who appeared to you at Bethel, where you set up a stone to show that the place was holy, and you poured [olive] oil on the stone and made a solemn promise to me. So now leave this land immediately, and return to the land where you were born.’”
Ako ang Dios didto sa Betel, diin gidihogan nimo ang haligi, diin naghimo ka ug panaad nganhi kanako. Karon bangon ug biyai kining yutaa ug balik sa yuta nga imong natawhan.”'
14 Rachel and Leah replied, “Our father will not give us anything more when he dies [RHQ].
Mitubag si Raquel ug si Lea ug miingon kaniya, “Aduna pa ba kamiy bahin o mapanunod sa panimalay sa among amahan?
15 He treats us as though we were foreigners [RHQ]! [Your working for him all these years was like a payment] that you gave him as a price for us, but we will not inherit any of that money that he got as a price for us. He has spent it all!
Dili ba iya man kaming giisip ingon nga mga langyaw? Tungod kay gibaligya kami niya ug gihurot usab niya ang among salapi.
16 Surely all of the wealth that God took away from our father belongs to us and to our children. So do whatever God has told you to do!”
Tungod kay ang tanang katigayonan nga gikuha sa Dios gikan sa among amahan amoa ug sa among mga anak. Busa karon, buhata dayon ang bisan unsa nga giingon sa Dios kanimo.”
17 Then Jacob put his children and his wives on camels.
Busa nangandam si Jacob ug gipasakay ang iyang mga anak nga lalaki ug ang iyang mga asawa ngadto sa mga kamelyo.
18 He made all his livestock go ahead of him. Besides the livestock, he took along all the other things that he had acquired while living in Paddan-Aram. And they prepared to return to his father Isaac, in the Canaan region.
Gipalakaw niya ang iyang mga kahayopan una kaniya, uban sa tanan niyang kabtangan, lakip ang mga kahayopan nga iyang napanag-iya sa Padan Aram. Unya nangandam siya padulong sa iyang amahan nga si Isaac sa yuta sa Canaan.
19 Before they left, while Laban was shearing his sheep, Rachel stole the [small wooden] idols [that were in her father’s tent].
Sa dihang milakaw si Laban aron sa pagpanupi sa iyang karnero, gikawat ni Raquel ang diosdios sa iyang amahan.
20 Furthermore, Jacob deceived Laban, who belonged to the Aram people-group, by not telling him that they were planning to leave.
Gilingla usab ni Jacob si Laban nga Arameanhon, tungod kay wala siya nananghid kaniya nga mobiya na.
21 So Jacob and his family fled with all their possessions, and they crossed the Euphrates River, and then started traveling south toward the hilly Gilead region.
Busa mikalagiw siya uban sa tanan nga iyang gipanag-iya ug dali nga mitabok sa Suba, ug mipadulong ngadto sa kabungtoran sa Gilead.
22 On the third day after they left, someone told Laban that Jacob and his family had left.
Sa ikatulo nga adlaw gisuginlan si Laban nga mikagiw na si Jacob.
23 So he took some of his relatives with him and started to pursue Jacob. They continued walking for seven days.
Busa gidala niya ang iyang mga paryente kuyog kaniya ug migukod kaniya sulod sa pito ka adlaw nga pagpanaw. Naapsan niya siya didto sa bungtod sa Gilead.
24 Then God appeared to Laban in a dream at night, and said to him, “When you catch up to Jacob, be sure that you do not say anything at all [HYP] to him in an angry manner!”
Unya sa pagkagabii nagpakita ang Dios kang Laban nga Arameanhon diha sa usa ka damgo ug miingon kaniya, “Pag-amping sa imong isulti ngadto kang Jacob maayo man o daotan.”
25 The next day, by the time Laban caught up with Jacob, Jacob and his household had set up their tents in the hilly Gilead region. So Laban and his relatives set up their tents there, too.
Naapsan ni Laban si Jacob samtang gitaod ang iyang tolda didto sa bungtod. Nagkampo usab si Laban kauban ang iyang mga paryente didto sa bungtod sa Gilead.
26 Then Laban went to Jacob and said to him, “Why have you done this? You have deceived me by carrying away my daughters as though you had captured them in a war [MTY]!
Miingon si Laban kang Jacob, “Unsa man kining imong gihimo, nga imoha man akong gilimbongan ug gidala ang akong mga anak sama sa mga bihag sa gubat?
27 Why did you run away and deceive me? Why did you not tell me that you were going to leave, so that we could have rejoiced and sung while people played music on tambourines and harps before I said ‘goodbye’ to you?
Nganong mikalagiw ka man sa tago ug gilingla ako nimo ug wala suginli. Palakwon ko unta kamo inubanan ang mga pagsaulog ug mga pag-awit, uban sa tamborin ug sa mga alpa.
28 (You did not even let me kiss my grandchildren and my daughters goodbye before they left!/Why did you not allow me to kiss my grandchildren and daughters goodbye before they left?) [RHQ] What you have done was foolish!
Wala man lang ko nimo tugoti sa paghalok sa akong mga apo nga lalaki ug sa akong mga anak nga babaye agig panamilit. Binuang kining imong gihimo.
29 My relatives and I have the power to harm you, but last night the God whom your father worships said to me in a dream, ‘Be sure that you do not say anything at all to Jacob in an angry way.’
Aduna unta akoy gahom sa pagsakit kaninyo, apan ang Dios sa imong amahan misulti kanako kagabii ug miingon, 'Pag-amping sa imong isulti ngadto kang Jacob maayo man o daotan.'
30 Now, I know you have left because you long to go back home. But why did you steal my [wooden] idols?”
Ug karon, mipahawa ka tungod kay naghandom ka pag-ayo sa panimalay sa imong amahan. Apan nganong gikawat man nimo ang akong mga diosdios?”
31 Jacob replied to Laban, saying, “I did not tell you that we were planning to leave, because I was afraid. I thought that [if I told you], you would forcefully take your daughters away from me.
Mitubag si Jacob ug miingon kang Laban, “Tungod kay nahadlok ako ug naghunahuna nga imong kuhaon pagpugos ang imong mga anak nga babaye gikan kanako mao nga mibiya ako sa tago.
32 But if you find anyone here who has your wooden idols, we will execute that person. While our relatives are watching, search for yourself to see if there is anything that belongs to you that is here with me. If you find anything, you can take it!” When Jacob said that, he did not know that Rachel had stolen the wooden idols.
Si bisan kinsa ang mikawat sa imong mga diosdios mamatay. Sa atubangan sa atong mga paryente, tan-awa kung unsa ang ania kanako nga imoha ug kuhaa kini.” Tungod kay wala man masayod si Jacob nga si Raquel mao ang nagkawat niini.
33 Laban went into Jacob’s tent, and then into Leah’s tent, and then into the tents of the two female slaves and searched for the idols, but he did not find them. After he left their tents, he entered Rachel’s tent.
Misulod si Laban ngadto sa tolda ni Jacob, sa tolda ni Lea, ug ngadto sa tolda sa duha ka mga sulugoon nga babaye, apan wala gayod niya kini makita. Migawas siya sa tolda ni Lea ug misulod ngadto sa tolda ni Raquel.
34 But Rachel had previously taken the idols and put them in the saddle of a camel, and she was sitting on the saddle. So when Laban searched all over for them inside Rachel’s tent, he did not find them.
Karon gikuha na ni Raquel ang mga diosdios, ug gibutang kini sa sakang sa kamelyo, ug gilingkoran niya kini. Nangita si Laban sa tibuok tolda, apan wala gayod niya kini nakita.
35 Rachel said to her father, “Do not be angry with me, sir, but I cannot get up in your presence [to show respect for you], because I am having my monthly menstrual period. [EUP]” So when Laban searched some more, he did not find the [wooden] idols.
Miingon siya sa iyang amahan, “Ayaw kasuko akong agalon, nga dili ako makabarog sa imong atubangan, tungod kay giregla ako.” Busa nangita siya apan wala niya hikaplagi ang iyang mga diosdios.
36 Then Jacob became angry. He rebuked Laban, saying, “What crime did I commit? For what sin that I committed have you pursued me?
Nasuko si Jacob ug nakiglalis kang Laban. Miingon siya kaniya, “Unsa man ang akong sayop? Unsa man ang akong sala, nga mainiton ka man nga migukod kanako?
37 Now you have searched through all my possessions, and what did you find from all these possessions that belongs to you? Put it here in front of my relatives and your relatives, so that they can decide who is right, you or me!
Kay giutingkay mo na ang tanan kong mga kabtangan. Unya unsa may imong nakita nga butang nga imoha? Dad-a ngari sa atubangan sa atong mga paryente aron mohukom sila tali natong duha.
38 I was with you for 20 years. In all that time, your sheep and goats have (not miscarried/always given birth to animals safely). I have not [killed and] eaten any rams from your flocks.
Sulod sa 20 ka tuig nga nakig-uban ako kanimo. Wala gayod nakuhai sa ilang pagburos ang imong mga baye nga karnero ug mga kanding, ni nagkaon ako sa bisan usa nga laking karnero nga gikan sa imong panon.
39 When one of your animals was attacked and mauled/killed by a wild animal, I did not bring it to you. I replaced the dead animal with a living one of my own animals. Whenever one of your animals was stolen, during the day or during the night, you demanded that I replace it with one of my own animals.
Kadtong gikunis-kunis sa mga mananap wala nako dad-a kanimo. Hinuon, ako ang nahimong responsable sa mga nawala niini. Kanunay nimong gipabayran kanako ang matag nawala nga mananap, kung gikawat kini sa adlaw man o sa gabii.
40 I suffered from the heat during the day and from the cold at night. I was often not even able to sleep [PRS]!
Anaa ako; sa adlaw nga ang kainit mituhop kanako, ug ang katugnaw sa kagabhion; ug wala akoy tulog.
41 I lived in your household for 20 years. I worked for you for 14 years to buy your two daughters, and for six more years to buy some of your sheep and goats. During that time, you changed and reduced my wages many times [HYP].
Anaa ako sa imong panimalay sa milabay nga 20 ka tuig. Nagtrabaho ako kanimo sulod sa napulog upat ka tuig alang sa imong duha ka anak nga babaye, ug unom ka tuig alang sa imong mga mananap. Giusab nimo ang akong suhol sa napulo ka higayon.
42 If God, the one whom my grandfather Abraham worshiped and before whom my father Isaac trembled in fear, had not been with me and helped me, you would have sent me away (with nothing in my hands/owning nothing)! But God saw how much I was suffering and how hard I was working, so last night he told you that what you have done to me was wrong.”
Gawas kung ang Dios sa akong amahan, ang Dios ni Abraham, ug ang gikahadlokan ni Isaac, wala pa nag-uban kanako, papahawaon gayod nimo ako nga walay dala. Nakita sa Dios ang akong pag-antos ug kung unsa kalisod ang akong pagtrabaho, ug gibadlong ka niya kagabii.”
43 Laban replied, “These two women are my daughters, and their children are my grandchildren, and the animals are my animals. Everything you see here is mine [HYP]! But what can I do today to keep my daughters or the children they have given birth to [RHQ]?
Mitubag si Laban ug miingon kang Jacob, “Kanang mga babaye akoa nang mga anak, ang ilang mga anak ako nang mga apo, ug ang panon sa mga mananap ako nang mga mananap. Tanan nga imong nakita akoa. Apan unsa pa may mabuhat nako karon sa akong mga anak nga babaye, o sa mga anak nga ilang gipakatawo?
44 I cannot do anything in order to keep them, so hey, we should make a peace agreement, you and I, and do something that will remind us about our agreement.”
Busa karon, magbuhat kita ug kasabotan, ikaw ug ako, ug mamahimo kining usa ka saksi tali kanimo ug kanako.”
45 So Jacob took a [large] stone and set it on its end.
Busa nagkuha si Jacob ug usa ka dakong bato ug iya kining gibutang ingon nga usa ka haligi.
46 Then Jacob said to his relatives, “You also gather some stones.” So they gathered some rocks and put them in a heap, and they ate some food there near the heap.
Miingon si Jacob sa iyang mga paryente, “Pagtapok ug mga bato.” Busa nagkuha sila ug mga bato ug gipatong-patong nila kini. Unya nangaon sila didto duol sa gipatong-patong nga mga bato.
47 Laban gave the heap the Aramaic name Jegar-Sahadutha, [which means ‘rock-pile to remind us’, ] but Jacob gave the rock-pile the Hebrew name Galeed, [which has the same meaning].
Gitawag kini ni Laban ug Jegar Saha Duta, apan gitawag kini ni Jacob ug Galeed.
48 Laban said to Jacob, “This pile of rocks we have put here today will help us to remember our agreement.” That is why Jacob called it Galeed.
Miingon si Laban, “Kining gipatong-patong nga mga bato mao ang saksi tali kanako ug kanimo karong adlawa.” Busa ang ngalan niini gitawag ug Galeed.
49 They also named the place Mizpah, [which sounds like the Hebrew word that means ‘watchtower’, ] because Laban said, “We will ask Yahweh to watch you and me while we are separated from each other, [so that we do not try to harm each other].
Gitawag usab kini ug Mispa, tungod kay nag-ingon si Laban, “Magbantay unta si Yahweh tali kanimo ug kanako, kung dili man kita magkita.
50 If you mistreat my daughters, or if you take other women to be your wives, even if no one tells me about it, don’t forget that God sees what you and I are doing!”
Kung imong pasipad-an ang akong mga anak, ug mangasawa ka ug lain gawas sa akong mga anak, bisan tuod wala kita nag-uban, tan-awa, saksi ang Dios tali kanimo ug kanako.”
51 Laban also said to Jacob, “You see this large stone and this pile of rocks that we have set up to be between us.
Miingon si Laban kang Jacob, “Tan-awa kining gipatong-patong nga mga bato, ug tan-awa ang haligi, nga diin gihimo ko tali kanimo ug kanako.
52 Both this pile of rocks and this large stone will remind us, that I will not go past these rocks to harm you, and you will not go past these rocks to harm me.
Kining gipatong-patong nga mga bato, ug ang haligi mao ang saksi, nga dili ako molatas niining gipatong-patong nga mga bato paingon kanimo, ug dili usab ikaw molatas niining gipatong-patong nga mga bato ug haligi paingon kanako aron sa pagbuhat ug daotan.
53 We will ask the God whom [your grandfather] Abraham and [his father] Nahor worshiped to punish [MTY] either one of us, [if we harm the other one].” So Jacob solemnly promised to do what they said in their peace agreement. And he asked God, the one before whom his father Isaac trembled, to listen to what they promised.
Ang Dios ni Abraham, ug ang Dios ni Nahor, ang Dios sa ilang amahan, maghukom unta tali kanato.” Nanumpa si Jacob sa Dios, nga mao ang gikahadlokan ni Isaac.
54 He offered a sacrifice to God there in the hilly area, and he invited his relatives to eat with him. After they had eaten, they slept there that night.
Naghalad ug usa ka sakripisyo si Jacob didto sa bukid ug gidapit niya ang iyang mga paryente aron mangaon. Nangaon sila ug nagpagabii sila didto sa bukid.
55 The next morning Laban kissed his grandchildren and his daughters [goodbye] and asked God to bless them. Then he [and his men] left them and returned home.
Sayo sa kabuntagon mibangon si Laban ug gihagkan niya ang iyang mga apo nga lalaki ug ang iyang mga anak nga babaye ug gipanalanginan niya sila. Unya mibiya si Laban ug mibalik sa iyang panimalay.
