Genesis 31
1 Jacob el lohngak lah wen natul Laban elos fahk mu, “Jacob el eisla ma nukewa lun papa tumasr uh. Kasrup lal uh ma na ke ma lun papa tumasr uh.”
And he heard the words of Laban's sons, saying, Jacob has taken away all that was our father's, and of what was our father's he has acquired all this glory.
2 Jacob el akilenak pac lah Laban el tia sifilpa kulang oana meet ah.
And Jacob saw the countenance of Laban, and behold, it was not toward him as previously.
3 Na LEUM GOD El fahk nu sel, “Folokla nu yen sin papa tomom ac nu yurin sou lom. Nga ac fah wi kom.”
And Jehovah said to Jacob, Return into the land of thy fathers, and to thy kindred; and I will be with thee.
4 Ke ma inge Jacob el sapla nu sel Rachel ac Leah, eltal in tuku osun nu sel yen ma un kosro natul uh muta we.
And Jacob sent and called Rachel and Leah to the fields to his flock,
5 El fahk nu seltal, “Nga liye tuh papa tomomtal ah tiana sifil kulang nu sik oana meet ah. Tusruktu, God lun papa tumuk El nuna wiyu na.
and said to them, I see your father's countenance, that it is not toward me as previously; but the God of my father has been with me.
6 Komtal kewa etu na lah nga orekma nu sin papa tomomtal ah ke kuiyuk nufon.
And you know that with all my power I have served your father.
7 Nwe ouinge, a el kutasrik na nu sik ac ekulla molin orekma luk uh pacl singoul. Tusruktu God El tiana lela elan oru kutena mwe ongoiya nu sik.
And your father has mocked me, and has changed my wages ten times; but God suffered him not to hurt me.
8 Pacl nukewa Laban el fin fahk, ‘Nani tuhntun ingan pa ac moli orekma lom,’ na kosro nukewa ac oswe natu tuhntun. Ac el fin fahk, ‘Nani kwarmok uh pa ac moli orekma lom,’ na u in kosro nukewa ac oswe natu kwarmok.
If he said thus; The speckled shall be thy hire, then all the flocks bore speckled; and if he said thus: The ringstraked shall be thy hire, then all the flocks bore ringstraked.
9 God El eisla u in kosro liki papa tomomtal ac use nutik.”
And God has taken away the cattle of your father, and given [them] to me.
10 “Ke pacl in orek fahko lun un kosro uh nga tuh mwemei ac liye lah nani mukul ma orek fahko uh ma na kwarmok ac tuhntun.
And it came to pass at the time of the ardour of the flocks, that I lifted up mine eyes, and saw in a dream, and behold, the rams that leaped upon the flocks were ringstraked, speckled, and spotted.
11 Na lipufan lun God el kaskas nu sik in mweme sac ac fahk, ‘Jacob!’ Ac nga fahk, ‘Nga.’
And the Angel of God said to me in a dream, Jacob! And I said, Here am I.
12 Ac el fahk, ‘Liye, nani mukul nukewa ma orek fahko inge ma kwarmok ac tuhntun. Nga oru in ouinge mweyen nga liye ma nukewa ma Laban el oru nu sum.
And he said, Lift up now thine eyes, and see: all the rams that leap upon the flock are ringstraked, speckled, and spotted; for I have seen all that Laban does to thee.
13 Nga pa God se su tuh sikwot nu sum in acn Bethel, yen se ma kom tuh ukuiya oil in olive nu fin eot se ac kisakin tuh in sie mwe esmakin, ac kom tuh orala sie wuleang nu sik we. Akola kom in folokla nu in facl se ma kom isusla we.’”
I am the God of Bethel, where thou anointedst the pillar, where thou vowedst a vow to me. Now arise, depart out of this land, and return to the land of thy kindred.
14 Rachel ac Leah topkol Jacob ac fahk, “Wangin ma lula kut ac usrui sin papa tumasr.
And Rachel and Leah answered and said to him, Is there yet any portion or inheritance for us in our father's house?
15 El orekut oana mwetsac uh. El kukakinkutla, ac inge el sisla nufon mani ma moulyang nu sel kacsr ah.
Are we not reckoned of him strangers? for he has sold us, and has even constantly devoured our money.
16 Mwe kasrup nukewa ma God El eisla liki papa tumasr ah inge, ma lasr ac tulik natusr. Oru na ma God El fahk kom in oru an.”
For all the wealth that God has taken from our father is ours and our children's; and now whatever God has said to thee do.
17 Ouinge Jacob el tuyak, ac srakang tulik natul ac mutan kial nu fin camel uh,
And Jacob rose up, and set his sons and his wives upon camels,
18 ac pwanla kosro natul nukewa, ac ma lal nukewa ma el eis ke orekma lal, ac kosro natul ma el eis in acn Mesopotamia, na el mukuiyak in som nu yorol Isaac, papa tumal, in facl Canaan.
and carried away all his cattle, and all his property that he had acquired — the cattle of his possessions that he had acquired in Padan-Aram, to go to Isaac his father, into the land of Canaan.
19 Laban el som in kalla sheep natul, ac ke pacl se el wangin inge, Rachel el usla ma sruloala srisrik ma oan in lohm sin papa tumal ah.
And Laban had gone to shear his sheep. And Rachel stole the teraphim that [belonged] to her father.
20 Jacob el sulallal nu sel Laban ac tia akkalemye nu sel lah el ac som lukel.
And Jacob deceived Laban the Syrian, in that he did not tell him that he fled.
21 El us ma nukewa lal ac sulaklak na mukuiyak som. El tupalla Infacl Euphrates ac tulanya infulan eol in acn Gilead.
And he fled with all that he had; and he rose up and passed over the river, and set his face [toward] mount Gilead.
22 Len tolu toko, fwackyang nu sel Laban lah Jacob el kaingla.
And it was told Laban on the third day that Jacob had fled.
23 Laban el us mwet lal welul ac ukwal Jacob ke len itkosr, nwe ke el sonol infulan eol in Gilead.
And he took his brethren with him, and pursued after him seven days' journey, and overtook him on mount Gilead.
24 God El sikyang nu sel Laban in sie mweme ke fong sac ac fahk nu sel, “Taran na kom in tia fahk kutena kas in aksangeng nu sel Jacob.”
And God came to Laban the Syrian in a dream by night, and said to him, Take care thou speak not to Jacob either good or bad.
25 Laban el ukwal Jacob nwe sonol infulan eol in Gilead, yen Jacob el aktuktuk we. Laban ac mwet lal elos oayapa aktuktuk we.
And Laban came up with Jacob; and Jacob had pitched his tent on the mountain; Laban also with his brethren pitched on mount Gilead.
26 Laban el fahk nu sel Jacob, “Efu ku kom sulallal nu sik ac usla acn nutik ingan in oana luman mutan ma sruhu ke mweun?
And Laban said to Jacob, What hast thou done, that thou hast deceived me, and hast carried away my daughters as captives of war?
27 Efu kom ku kutasrik nu sik ac mahsrikme na tia fahk? Kom funu fahk, nga lukun filikomla ke engan lulap, ac on alullul wi pusren mwe srital ac harp.
Why didst thou flee away covertly, and steal away from me, and didst not tell me, that I might have conducted thee with mirth and with songs, with tambour and with harp;
28 Kom tia pacna lela nga in wilkas nu sin acn nutik, ku ngokya mutun tulik natultal inge. Ouiya na koluk se pa kom oru ingan!
and hast not suffered me to kiss my sons and my daughters? Now thou hast acted foolishly.
29 Oasr ku luk in kai kom, tusruktu God lun papa tomom El kaskas nu sik fong, ac fahk mu ngan taran na nga in tia fahk kutena kas in aksangeng nu sum.
It would be in the power of my hand to do you hurt; but the God of your father spoke to me last night, saying, Take care that thou speak not to Jacob either good or bad.
30 Nga etu lah kom tuyak tuku mweyen kom kena tari folok nu yen sum, a efu kom ku usla ma sruloala srisrik ma oan in lohm sik ah?”
And now that thou must needs be gone, because thou greatly longedst after thy father's house, why hast thou stolen my gods?
31 Jacob el topuk, “Nga tuh sangeng, mweyen nga nunku mu kom ac eisla acn nutum inge likiyu.
And Jacob answered and said to Laban, I was afraid; for I said, Lest thou shouldest take by force thy daughters from me.
32 Tusruktu kom fin konauk lah god lom an oasr sin siena sin mwet inge, mwet sacn ac fah anwuki. Inge, ye mutun mwet lasr kewa, fahsru suk. Fin oasr kutena ma lom kom konauk yorosr, kom us.” Jacob el tiana etu lah Rachel el pisrala god lal Laban.
With whomsoever thou findest thy gods, he shall not live. Before our brethren discern what is thine with me, and take [it] to thee. But Jacob did not know that Rachel had stolen them.
33 Laban el som ac iluhs lohm nuknuk sel Jacob. Toko el som nu in lohm nuknuk sel Leah, ac lohm nuknuk sin mutan kulansap luo, tusruktu el tiana konauk god lal ah. Na el som nu in lohm nuknuk sel Rachel.
And Laban went into Jacob's tent, and into Leah's tent, and into the two handmaids' tents, and found nothing; and he went out of Leah's tent, and entered into Rachel's tent.
34 Rachel pa srukak ma sruloala ma oan in lohm nuknuk sel Laban, ac sang nu luin pak se ma ac oan fin camel uh, ac muta fac. Laban el iluhs lohm nuknuk sac nufon, tusruk el tiana konauk ma sruloala uh.
Now Rachel had taken the teraphim and put them under the camel's saddle; and she sat upon them. And Laban explored all the tent, but found nothing.
35 Rachel el fahk nu sin papa tumal, “Nimet kom kasrkusrak sik, papa. Nga tia ku in tuyak, mweyen ingena nga mas mutan.” Laban el sukna ma sruloala lal ah tuh el tiana konauk.
And she said to her father, Let it not be an occasion of anger in the eyes of my lord that I cannot rise up before thee, for it is with me after the manner of women. And he searched carefully, but did not find the teraphim.
36 Na Jacob el kasrkusrakak ac siyuk sel Laban, “Mea nga oru koluk? Ma sap su nga kunausla ku kom ukweyume nwe inse?
And Jacob was angry, and he disputed with Laban. And Jacob answered and said to Laban, What is my fault, what my sin, that thou hast so hotly pursued after me?
37 Inge ke kom iluhsya ma luk nukewa uh, mea kom konauk mu ma lom oasr yorosr? Srakma filiya inse inge, mwet lasr uh kewa in tukeni ngetani liye, ac fahk lah su pwaye se.
Whereas thou hast explored all my baggage, what hast thou found of all thy household stuff? Set [it] here before my brethren and thy brethren, and let them decide between us both.
38 Nga muta yurum yac longoulla inge, ac sheep nutum ac nani nutum uh tia tui in isus fahko, ac nga tiana kangla sokofanna sheep mukul ke u in kosro nutum uh.
These twenty years have I been with thee: thy ewes and thy she-goats have not cast their young, and the rams of thy flock I have not eaten.
39 Pacl nukewa ma kosro lemnak uh uniya soko inmasrlon sheep nutum uh, nga tia us tuku nu ye motom kom in liye, a nga sifacna aolla ke sheep nutik. Kom sap ngan akfalye kutena ma su pusrla ke len ku ke fong.
What was torn I have not brought to thee; I had to bear the loss of it: of my hand hast thou required it, [whether] stolen by day or stolen by night.
40 Pacl puspis nga keok ke fulen len ac ohu in fong. Nga tia ku in motul.
Thus it was with me: in the day the heat consumed me, and the frost by night; and my sleep fled from mine eyes.
41 Pwana ingan ma nga pulakin ke lusen yac longoul nga muta yurum. Nga orekma yac singoul akosr in eis acn luo nutum, ac yac onkosr nu ke un kosro nutik inge. Ne ouinge, a kom ikil molin orekma luk pacl singoul.
I have been these twenty years in thy house: I have served thee fourteen years for thy two daughters, and six years for thy flock; and thou hast changed my wages ten times.
42 God lal Abraham ac God lal Isaac, papa tumuk, funu tia wiyu, kom lukun supweyula pisinpo. Tusruktu God El liyena elya luk ac orekma ma nga orala, ac El kai kom kac fong.”
Had not the God of my father, the God of Abraham, and the fear of Isaac, been with me, it is certain thou wouldest have sent me away now empty. God has looked upon my affliction and the labour of my hands, and has judged last night.
43 Laban el topkol Jacob ac fahk, “Mutan luo inge ma nutik. Ma pac nutik pa tulik natultal inge, ac un kosro inge ma pac nutik. Ma nukewa kom liye inge ma luk. Tusruktu ke wangin ma nga ku in oru in folokonma acn luo nutik ac tulik natultal inge,
And Laban answered and said to Jacob, The daughters are my daughters, and the sons are my sons, and the flock is my flock, and all that thou seest is mine; but as for my daughters, what can I do this day to them, or to their sons whom they have brought forth?
44 nga akola in oru sie wuleang inmasrlok kom. Lela kut in orala sie ma in akesmakinye kut ke wuleang se inge.
And now, come, let us make a covenant, I and thou; and let it be a witness between me and thee.
45 Ouinge Jacob el eis eot lulap se ac tulokunak tuh in sie mwe esmakin.
And Jacob took a stone, and set it up [for] a pillar.
46 El fahk nu sin mwet lal in orani kutu eot ac elosak. Na elos mongoi sisken yol in eot sac.
And Jacob said to his brethren, Gather stones. And they took stones, and made a heap, and ate there upon the heap.
47 Laban el sang inen yol in eot se inge Jegar Sahadutha, a Jacob el pangon Galeed.
And Laban called it Jegar-sahadutha, and Jacob called it Galeed.
48 Laban el fahk nu sel Jacob, “Yol in eot se inge ac fah mwe akesmakinye kut kewa.” Pa pwanang inen acn sac pangpang Galeed.
And Laban said, This heap is a witness between me and thee this day. Therefore was the name of it called Galeed,
49 Laban el oayapa fahk, “Lela LEUM GOD Elan tawikuti ke kut fahsrelik sie sin sie.” Ke ma inge itukyang pac inen acn sac Mizpah.
— and Mizpah; for he said, Let Jehovah watch between me and thee, when we shall be hidden one from another:
50 Laban el sifilpa fahk, “Kom fin oru koluk acn nutik inge, ku payuk pac sin mutan saya, nga finne tia liye, kom esam lah God El tawikuti na.
if thou shouldest afflict my daughters, or if thou shouldest take wives besides my daughters, — no man is with us; see, God is witness between me and thee!
51 Pa inge eot ma nga elosak ac eot lulap se mwe esmakin inmasrlok kom.
And Laban said to Jacob, Behold this heap, and behold the pillar which I have set up between me and thee:
52 Yol se inge ac eot in esmakin se inge kewa ma in akesmakinye kut. Nga fah tia aliki yol se inge in mweuni kom ac kom fah tia pac alukela ku aliki eot in esmakin se inge in mweuniyu.
[let] this heap be witness, and the pillar a witness, that neither I pass this heap [to go] to thee, nor thou pass this heap and this pillar [to come] to me, for harm.
53 God lal Abraham ac God lal Nahor fah aksuwosye inmasrlosr.” Na Jacob el wulela na ku Inen God su Isaac, papa tumal, el alu nu se, lah el fah liyaung na wuleang se inge.
The God of Abraham, and the God of Nahor, the God of their father, judge between us! And Jacob swore by the fear of his father Isaac.
54 El uniya kosro soko, ac sang in mwe kisa fin eol uh, ac el pangoneni mwet lal elos in mongo. Tukun elos mongo tari, elos mongla fin eol uh ke fong sac.
And Jacob offered a sacrifice upon the mountain, and invited his brethren to eat bread: and they ate bread, and lodged on the mountain.
55 Toangna in lotu tok ah, Laban el wilkas nu sin acn luo natul ac ngok mutaltal ac tulik natulos, na folokla nu yen sel.
And Laban rose early in the morning, and kissed his sons and his daughters, and blessed them; and Laban went and returned to his place.
