< 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.”
Ita, nangngeg ni Jacob dagiti sasao dagiti annak a lallaki ni Laban a kinunada, “Innala ni Jacob dagiti amin a kukua ti Amatayo, ken kadagiti sanikua ti amatayo ti nagappuan amin dagitoy a kinabaknangna.
2 And Jacob noticed that Laban was not acting friendly toward him as he had done before.
Nakita ni Jacob ti langa ti rupa ni Laban. Nakitana a nagbaliwen ti panakilangen-langenna kenkuana.
3 Then Yahweh said to Jacob, “Go back to your country and your relatives, and I will help you there.”
Ket kinuna ni Yahweh kenni Jacob, “Agsublika iti daga dagiti ammam ken kadagiti kakabagiam, ket addaakto kenka.”
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.
Nangibaon ni Jacob iti napan nangayab kada Raquel ken Lea tapno mapanda iti kataltalonan, iti ayan dagiti arbanna
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.
ket kinunana kadakuada, “Nakitak a nagbaliwen ti panakilangen-langen ti amayo kaniak, ngem ti Dios ti amak ket kanayon nga adda kaniak.
6 You two know that I have worked very hard for your father,
Ammoyo a nagserbiak iti amayo iti amin a pigsak.
7 but many times [HYP] he has cheated me by decreasing my wages. But God has not allowed him to harm me.
Inallilawnak ti amayo ken binaliwanna ti tangdanko iti naminsangapulo a daras, ngem saan nga impalubos ti Dios a dangrannak.
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.
No ibagana a, 'Dagiti burik nga ayup ti tangdanmo', aganak met iti burik nga urbon ti amin nga arban. Ket no ibagana, 'Dagiti garit nga ayup ti tangdanmo', aganak met iti garit nga urbon ti amin nga arban.
9 In that way, God has taken away the livestock that belonged to your father and has given them to me.
Iti kastoy a wagas, innala ti Dios dagiti taraken ti amayo ket intedna dagitoy kaniak.
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.
Iti naminsan, idi panawen iti panagmamaya, nakitak iti tagtagainep dagiti kalakian a kalding a mangmaymaya iti arban. Dagiti kalakian a kalding ket garit, burik ken labang.
11 An angel who was sent by God said to me in the dream, ‘Jacob!’ I replied, ‘I am here!’
Imbaga ti anghel ti Dios kaniak iti tagtagainep, 'Jacob'. Kinunak, 'Adtoyak.'
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.
Kinunana, 'Kumitaka iti ngato ket kitaem dagiti amin a kalakian a kalding a mangmaymaya iti arban. Dagitoy ket garit, burik ken labang, ta nakitak ti amin nga ar-aramiden ni Laban kenka.
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.’”
Siak ti Dios ti Bethel, a nangpulutam iti maysa nga adigi, a nangsapataam kaniak iti maysa a kari. Ita, panawam daytoy a daga ket agsublika iti daga a nakaiyanakam.'”
14 Rachel and Leah replied, “Our father will not give us anything more when he dies [RHQ].
Simmungbat da Raquel ken Lea a kinunada kenkuana, “Adda kadi met bingay wenno tawid a para kadakami iti balay ti amami?
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!
Saan aya a kasla gangannaet iti panangtrato ti amami kadakami? Ta inlakonakami ket inibusna amin a kuartami.
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!”
Ta amin a kinabaknang nga innala ti Dios manipud iti amami ket kukuamin ita ken dagiti annakmi. Ita ngarud, aniaman nga ibaga ti Dios kenka, aramidem.”
17 Then Jacob put his children and his wives on camels.
Ket timmakder ni Jacob ken inkabilna dagiti annakna a lallaki ken assawana kadagiti kamelio.
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.
Rinugianna nga abugen dagiti amin a tarakenna ken amin a sanikuana a naalana, dagiti tarakenna a nagun-odna idiay Paddan Aram. Rinugianna ti mapan iti ayan ti amana a ni Isaac, iti daga ti Canaan.
19 Before they left, while Laban was shearing his sheep, Rachel stole the [small wooden] idols [that were in her father’s tent].
Ita, pimmanaw ni Laban tapno mapanna pukisan dagiti karnerona, ket tinakaw ni Raquel dagiti didiosen nga adda iti balay ti amana.
20 Furthermore, Jacob deceived Laban, who belonged to the Aram people-group, by not telling him that they were planning to leave.
Sinikapan met ni Jacob ni Laban nga Arameo iti saanna a panangibaga kenkuana a pumanawen isuna.
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.
Nagtalaw ngarud a kaduana dagiti amin a sanikuana ket nagdardaras a bimmallasiw iti Karayan, ken nagturong iti katurturodan a pagilian ti Galaad.
22 On the third day after they left, someone told Laban that Jacob and his family had left.
Iti maikatlo nga aldaw, naibaga kenni Laban a nagtalawen ni Jacob.
23 So he took some of his relatives with him and started to pursue Jacob. They continued walking for seven days.
Isu nga inkuyogna dagiti amin a kakabagianna ket kinamatda ni Jacob iti pito nga aldaw a panagdaliasat. Nakamakamda isuna iti katurturodan ti 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!”
Ita, immay ti Dios kenni Laban nga Arameo iti maysa a tagtagainep iti maysa a rabii ket kinunana kenkuana, “Agannadka a makisarita kenni Jacob iti nasayaat man wenno dakes.”
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.
Nakamakam ni Laban ni Jacob. Ita, nangipatakder ni Jacob iti toldana iti katurturodan a pagilian. Nagkampo met laeng da Laban ken dagiti kakabaggianna iti katurturodan a pagilian ti Galaad.
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]!
Kinuna ni Laban kenni Jacob, “Ania daytoy nga inaramid mo, ta inallilawnak ken innalam dagiti annakko a babbai a kasla da la balud iti 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?
Apay a pimmanawka a sililimed ken sinikapannak ken saanmo nga imbaga kaniak. Pinarubuatankayo koma nga addaan iti panagrambak ken kankanta, kadagiti tamborin ken kadagiti arpa.
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!
Saanmo nga intulok nga agkak iti panagpakada dagiti appok ken annakko. Ita, nakaaramidka iti minamaag.
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.’
Addaanak iti kabaelan a mangdangran kenka, ngem nagsao kaniak ti Dios ti amam idi rabii a kinunana, 'Aggannadka a makisarita kenni Jacob iti nasaayaat man wenno saan'.
30 Now, I know you have left because you long to go back home. But why did you steal my [wooden] idols?”
Ket ita, pimmanawka gapu ta mailiwka unay iti balay ti amam. Ngem apay a tinakawmo dagiti diosko?”
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.
Simmungbat ni Jacob a kinunana kenni Laban, “Gapu ta mabutengak ken impagarupko nga amangan no pilitem nga alaen dagiti annakmo manipud kaniak, pimmanawak a sililimed.
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.
Siasinoman a nangtakaw kadagiti didiosem ket saanto nga agtuloy nga agbiag. Iti imatang dagiti kakabaggianta, lasinem ti aniaman nga adda kaniak a kukuam ket alaem.” Ta saan nga ammo ni Jacob a ni Raquel ti nangtakaw kadagitoy.
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.
Napan ni Laban iti ayan ti tolda ni Jacob, iti tolda ni Lea ken iti tolda dagiti dua nga adipen a babbai, ngem saanna a nabirukan dagitoy. Rimuar isuna iti tolda ni Lea ket simrek iti 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.
Ita, innala ni Raquel dagiti didiosen iti balay ti amana, inkabilna iti silya ti kamelyo ket tinugawanna daytoy. Sinukimat ni Laban ti uneg ti sibubukel a tolda, ngem saanna a nasarakan dagitoy.
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.
Kinuna ni Raquel iti amana, “Apok, saanka koma a makaunget no saanak a makatakder iti sangngoanam, madama ngamin ti binulanko. Nagsukimat ngarud ni Laban ngem saanna a nasarakan dagiti didiosen iti balayna.
36 Then Jacob became angry. He rebuked Laban, saying, “What crime did I commit? For what sin that I committed have you pursued me?
Nakaunget ni Jacob ket nakisinnupiat isuna kenni Laban. Kinunana kenkuana, “Ania ti naglabsingak? Ania ti nakabasolak, ta sipupungtotka a nangkamat kaniak?
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!
Ta sinukitmatmo amin a sanikuak. Ania ti nasarakam kadagiti amin a sanikua ti bumalaymo? Ikabilmo ida ditoy sangngoanan dagiti kakabagianta, tapno isuda iti mangukom kadata a dua.
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.
Addaak kenka iti duapulo a tawen. Awan ti naalisan kadagiti kaba-ian a karnero ken kaldingmo, ken saanak a nangan iti aniaman a kalakian a karnero manipud kadagiti arbanmo.
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.
Aniaman a rinangrangkay dagiti atap nga ayup ket saanko nga inyeg kenka. Ngem ketdi, inakok ti pannakapukawna dayta. Kankanayonmo nga ipabayad kaniak ti tunggal ayup a mapukpukaw, natakaw man iti aldaw wenno iti rabii.
40 I suffered from the heat during the day and from the cold at night. I was often not even able to sleep [PRS]!
Addaak sadiay; main-initan iti aldaw, ken malamlammiisan iti rabii; ket napnapanak nga awan turogko.
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].
Iti naglabas a duapulo a tawen, addaak iti balay mo. Nagtrabahoak kenka iti sangapulo ket uppat a tawen para kadagiti dua nga annakmo ken innem a tawen para iti arbanmo. Binaliwam ti tangdanko iti namin sangapulo a daras.
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.”
No awan kaniak ti Dios ti amak, ti Dios ni Abraham, ken ti pagbutbutngan ni Isaac, awan duadua nga ita ket pinapanawnak nga ima-ima. Nakita ti Dios ti pannakaidadanesko ken ti panagrigatko a nagtrabtrabaho, isu a tinubngarnaka idi rabii.”
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]?
Simmungbat ni Laban kenni Jacob a kinunana, “Dagiti annak a babbai ket putotko, ken dagiti appo ket appokok, ken dagiti arban ket arbanko. Amin a makitkitam ket kukuak. Ngem ania ngay ti maaramidak ita kadagitoy nga annakko a babbai, wenno kadagiti ubbing nga inyanakda?
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.”
Ita ngarud, agaramidta iti katulagan, data a dua, ket agserbi koma a saksi iti nagbaetanta.”
45 So Jacob took a [large] stone and set it on its end.
Nangala ngarud ni Jacob iti bato ken impatakderna a kasla adigi.
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.
Kinuna ni Jacob kadagiti kakabagianna, “Agurnongkayo iti bato.” Nagalada garud kadagiti batbato ket nagaramidda iti bunton. Kalpasanna, nanganda iti abay iti bunton.
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].
Inawagan ni Laban daytoy iti Jegar Saha Dutha, ngem inawagan ni Jacob daytoy iti 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.
Kinuna ni Laban, “Daytoy a bunton ket saksi iti nagbaetanta ita nga aldaw.” Ngarud ti naganna ket naawagan iti 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].
Naawagan met laeng daytoy a Mizpah, gapu ta kinuna ni Laban, “Ni Yahweh koma ti mangbantay kadata, inton saanta a makitkita ti maysa ken maysa.
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!”
No tratoem iti saan a nasayaat dagiti putotko a babbai, wenno no mangala ka iti sabali nga asawa malaksid kadagiti putotko, uray no awan sabali a kaduata, kitaem, ti Dios ti saksi iti nagbaetanta.”
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.
Kinuna ni Laban kenni Jacob, “Kitaem daytoy a bunton, ken kitaem ti adigi nga impatakderko iti nagbaetanta.
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.
Daytoy a bunton ket saksi, ken ti adigi ket saksi a saanakto a lumabes kenka iti daytoy a bunton ken saanka a lumabes kaniak iti daytoy a bunton ken daytoy nga adigi, tapno agaramid iti pakadangran.
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.
Ti Dios koma ni Abraham, ken ti Dios ni Nahor, ti Dios dagiti ama da, ti mangukom kadata. Nagsapata ni Jacob iti nagan ti Dios, kenkuana a pagbutbutngan ti amana a 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.
Nangidaton ni Jacob iti daton iti dayta a bantay ket inayabanna dagiti kakabagianna a mangan. Nanganda ken pinalabasda ti rabii iti bantay.
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.
Nariing ni Laban a nasapa iti kabigatanna, inagkanna dagiti appokona ken dagiti putotna a babbai ket binendisionanna ida. Kalpasanna, pimmanaw ni Laban ket nagsubli iti pagtaenganna.
