¹[Ny nandosiran'i Jakoba avy tany Mesopotamia hody any Kanana] Ary Jakoba nandre ny tenin'ny zanakalahin'i Labana nanao hoe: Efa lasan'i Jakoba avokoa izay rehetra nananan'ny raintsika; ary avy tamin'ny fananan'ny raintsika no nahazoany izao voninahitra rehetra izao.

¹And he heareth the words of Laban`s sons, saying, `Jacob hath taken all that our father hath; yea, from that which our father hath, he hath made all this honour;`

²Ary hitan'i Jakoba ny tarehin'i Labana, fa indro tsy mba miramirana taminy tahaka ny taloha izy.

²and Jacob seeth the face of Laban, and lo, it is not with him as heretofore.

³Ary hoy Jehovah tamin'i Jakoba: Modia any amin'ny tanin'ny razanao sy any amin'ny havanao; ary homba anao Aho.

³And Jehovah saith unto Jacob, `Turn back unto the land of thy fathers, and to thy kindred, and I am with thee.`

⁴Ary Jakoba naniraka ka nampaka an-dRahely sy Lea hankany an-tsaha ho any amin'ny ondry aman'osiny

⁴And Jacob sendeth and calleth for Rachel and for Leah to the field unto his flock;

⁵ka nanao taminy hoe: Hitako ny tarehin'ny rainareo, fa tsy mba miramirana amiko tahaka ny taloha; fa Andriamanitry ny raiko no efa nomba ahy.

⁵and saith to them, `I am beholding your father`s face — that it is not towards me as heretofore, and the God of my father hath been with me,

⁶Ary fantatrareo fa tamin'ny heriko rehetra no nanompoako ny rainareo.

⁶and ye — ye have known that with all my power I have served your father,

⁷Fa ny rainareo efa namitaka ahy ka efa nanova ny karamako im-polo; nefa tsy navelan'Andriamanitra hahatonga loza tamiko izy.

⁷and your father hath played upon me, and hath changed my hire ten times; and God hath not suffered him to do evil with me.

⁸Raha nilaza hoe izy: Ny mara rehetra ho karamanao, dia niteraka mara ny ondry aman'osy rehetra: ary raha nilaza hoe indray izy: Ny sadika rehetra ho karamanao, dia niteraka sadika ny ondry aman'osy rehetra.

⁸`If he say thus: The speckled are thy hire, then bare all the flock speckled ones; and if he say thus: The ring-straked are thy hire, then bare all the flock ring-straked;

⁹Dia nalain'Andriamanitra ny fananan'ny rainareo ka nomeny ahy.

⁹and God taketh away the substance of your father, and doth give to me.

¹⁰Ary rehefa mby amin'ny andro izay nikambanan'ny ondry aman'osy, dia natopiko ny masoko, ka hitako tamin'ny nofy, ary indro, sadika sy mara ary sada ny lahy izay nikambana tamin'ny ondrivavy sy ny osivavy.

¹⁰`And it cometh to pass at the time of the flock conceiving, that I lift up mine eyes and see in a dream, and lo, the he-goats, which are going up on the flock, [are] ring-straked, speckled, and grisled;

¹¹Ary hoy Ilay Anjelin'Andriamanitra ta­miko tamin'ny nofy: Ry Jakoba; dia hoy izaho: Inty aho.

¹¹and the messenger of God saith unto me in the dream, Jacob, and I say, Here [am] I.

¹²Ary hoy Izy: Mba atopazy ny masonao ka jereo, fa sadika sy mara ary sada ny lahy rehetra izay mikambana amin'ny ondrivavy sy ny osivavy, satria efa hitako izay rehetra nataon'i Labana taminao.

¹²`And He saith, Lift up, I pray thee, thine eyes, and see — all the he-goats which are going up on the flock [are] ring-straked, speckled, and grisled, for I have seen all that Laban is doing to thee;

¹³Izaho no Andriamanitr'i Betela, izay nanosoranao tsangam-bato sy nivoadianao tamiko; miaingà ankehitriny hiala amin'ity tany ity, ka modia any amin'ny tany nahaterahanao.

¹³I [am] the God of Bethel where thou hast anointed a standing pillar, where thou hast vowed a vow to me; now, arise, go out from this land, and turn back unto the land of thy birth.`

¹⁴Dia namaly Rahely sy Lea ka nanao taminy hoe: Mbola misy anjara sy lova ho anay va ao an-tranon'ny rainay?

¹⁴And Rachel answereth — Leah also — and saith to him, `Have we yet a portion and inheritance in the house of our father?

¹⁵Tsy natao­ny toy ny vahiny va izahay? Fa efa namidiny izahay sady nohaniny lalandava ny volanay rehetra.

¹⁵have we not been reckoned strangers to him? for he hath sold us, and he also utterly consumeth our money;

¹⁶Fa ny harena rehetra izay nalain'Andriamanitra tamin'ny rainay, dia anay sy an'ny zanakay izany; koa ankehitriny, izay rehetra nolazain'Andriamanitra taminao dia ataovy.

¹⁶for all the wealth which God hath taken away from our father, it [is] ours, and our children`s; and now, all that God hath said unto thee — do.`

¹⁷Dia niainga Jakoba, ka nampitaingeniny ny rameva ny zanany sy ny vadiny;

¹⁷And Jacob riseth, and lifteth up his sons and his wives on the camels,

¹⁸dia ni­tondra ny ombiny sy ny ondry aman'osiny rehetra izy, mbamin'ny fananana rehetra izay efa nohariny, dia ny omby aman'ondry izay efa azony tany Mesopotamia, mba hankany amin'Isaka rainy any amin'ny tany Kanana.

¹⁸and leadeth all his cattle, and all his substance which he hath acquired, the cattle of his getting, which he hath acquired in Padan-Aram, to go unto Isaac his father, to the land of Canaan.

¹⁹Ary Labana efa lasa nandeha hanety ny ondry aman'osiny; dia nangalarin-dRahely ny sampin-drainy.

¹⁹And Laban hath gone to shear his flock, and Rachel stealeth the teraphim which her father hath;

²⁰Ary Jakoba dia nangala-dia tamin'i Labana Syriana, fa tsy nambarany taminy ny amin'ny handosirany.

²⁰and Jacob deceiveth the heart of Laban the Aramaean, because he hath not declared to him that he is fleeing;

²¹Ary nandositra izy ka nitondra ny fananany rehetra; dia niainga izy ka nita ny Ony, ary nizotra hankany an-tendrombohitra Gileada.

²¹and he fleeth, he and all that he hath, and riseth, and passeth over the River, and setteth his face [toward] the mount of Gilead.

²²Ary tamin'ny andro fahatelo dia nisy nanambara tamin'i Labana fa lasa nandositra Jakoba.

²²And it is told to Laban on the third day that Jacob hath fled,

²³Dia nitondra ny havany homba azy izy ka nanenjika azy lalan-kafitoana, dia nahatratra azy teo an-tendrombohitra Gileada.

²³and he taketh his brethren with him, and pursueth after him a journey of seven days, and overtaketh him in the mount of Gilead.

²⁴Fa Andriamanitra nankeo amin'i Labana Syriana tamin'ny nofy nony alina ka nanao taminy hoe: Tandremo mba tsy hasianao teny akory Jakoba, na soa na ratsy.

²⁴And God cometh in unto Laban the Aramaean in a dream of the night, and saith to him, `Take heed to thyself lest thou speak with Jacob from good unto evil.`

²⁵Ary Labana dia nahatratra an'i Jakoba. Ary Jakoba dia efa nanorina ny lainy teo an-tendrombohitra; ary Labana sy ny havany kosa nanorin-day teo an-tendrombohitr'i Gileada.

²⁵And Laban overtaketh Jacob; and Jacob hath fixed his tent in the mount; and Laban with his brethren have fixed [theirs] in the mount of Gilead.

²⁶Ary hoy Labana tamin'i Jakoba: Inona izao ataonao izao, no dia nangala-dia tamiko ianao ka nitondra ny zanako-vavy toy ny babo azo tamin'ny sabatra?

²⁶And Laban saith to Jacob, `What hast thou done that thou dost deceive my heart, and lead away my daughters as captives of the sword?

²⁷Nahoana no nandositra mangingina ianao ka nangala-dia tamiko; ary tsy nanambara tamiko ianao mba hanaterako anao amin'ny fifaliana sy ny hira, amin'ny amponga-tapaka sy ny lokanga,

²⁷Why hast thou hidden thyself to flee, and deceivest me, and hast not declared to me, and I send thee away with joy and with songs, with tabret and with harp,

²⁸sady tsy mba navelanao hanoroka ny zanako-lahy sy ny zanako-vavy aho? Fa izao dia efa nanao adaladala ianao.

²⁸and hast not suffered me to kiss my sons and my daughters? — now thou hast acted foolishly in doing [so];

²⁹Manan­kery hanisy ratsy anareo ny tanako; fa Andriamanitry ny rainareo efa niteny tamiko halina ka nanao hoe: Tandremo mba tsy hasianao teny akory Jakoba, na soa na ratsy.

²⁹my hand is to God to do evil with you, but the God of your father yesternight hath spoken unto me, saying, Take heed to thyself from speaking with Jacob from good unto evil.

³⁰Ary ankehitriny, raha mandeha tokoa ianao, satria manina ny tranon'ny rainao indrindra ianao, nahoana no nangalarinao ny andriamanitro ?

³⁰`And now, thou hast certainly gone, because thou hast been very desirous for the house of thy father; why hast thou stolen my gods?`

³¹Dia namaly Jakoba ka nanao tamin'i Labana hoe: Satria natahotra aho; fa hoy izaho: Angamba halainao an-keriny amiko ny zanakao-vavy.

³¹And Jacob answereth and saith to Laban, `Because I was afraid, for I said, Lest thou take violently away thy daughters from me;

³²Izay hahitanao ny andriamanitrao dia aza velomina; eto anatrehan'ny havantsika savao izay ato amiko, ka ento ny anao. Fa tsy fantatr'i Jakoba fa Rahely no efa nangalatra azy.

³²with whomsoever thou findest thy gods — he doth not live; before our brethren discern for thyself what [is] with me, and take to thyself:` and Jacob hath not known that Rachel hath stolen them.

³³Ary Labana niditra tao an-dain'i Jakoba sy tao an-dain'i Lea ary tao an-dain'ny ankiziny roa vavy, fa tsy nahita. Dia niala tao an-dain'i Lea izy ka niditra tao an-dain-Rahely.

³³And Laban goeth into the tent of Jacob, and into the tent of Leah, and into the tent of the two handmaidens, and hath not found; and he goeth out from the tent of Leah, and goeth into the tent of Rachel.

³⁴Fa efa nalain-dRahely ny sampy ka nataony tao anatin'ny laselin'ny rameva, dia nipetraka teo amboniny izy. Ary Labana dia nikaroka eran'ny lay rehetra, fa tsy nahita.

³⁴And Rachel hath taken the teraphim, and putteth them in the furniture of the camel, and sitteth upon them; and Laban feeleth all the tent, and hath not found;

³⁵Ary hoy Rahely tamin'ny rainy: Aza fady aho, tompokolahy, fa tsy mahazo mitsangana eto anatrehanao aho, satria azon'ny fombam-behivavy. Dia nikaroka fatratra izy, fa tsy nahita ny sampy.

³⁵and she saith unto her father, `Let it not be displeasing in the eyes of my lord that I am not able to rise at thy presence, for the way of women [is] on me;` and he searcheth, and hath not found the teraphim.

³⁶Dia tezitra Jakoba ka nifamaly tamin'i Labana; ary namaly Jakoba ka nanao tamin'i Labana hoe: Inona no heloko? inona no otako, no dia niolomay nanenjika ahy ianao?

³⁶And it is displeasing to Jacob, and he striveth with Laban; and Jacob answereth and saith to Laban, `What [is] my transgression? what my sin, that thou hast burned after me?

³⁷Fa efa nosavanao avokoa ny entako rehetra, koa inona no fanaka avy tany an-tranonao hitanao tao? Apetraho eto anatrehan'ny havako sy ny havanao izany, hitsarany antsika roa lahy,

³⁷for thou hast felt all my vessels: what hast thou found of all the vessels of thy house? set here before my brethren, and thy brethren, and they decide between us both.

³⁸Izao roa-polo taona izao no nitoerako tany aminao; ny ondrivavinao sy ny osivavinao tsy mba namotsotra, ary tsy mba nihinana ny ondrilahy avy tamin'ny ondrinao aho.

³⁸`These twenty years I [am] with thee: thy ewes and thy she-goats have not miscarried, and the rams of thy flock I have not eaten;

³⁹Izay voaviraviram-biby tsy mba nentiko tany aminao, fa izaho no nanolo azy; teo an-tanako no nitadiavanao azy, na ny nangalarina andro, na ny nangalarina alina.

³⁹the torn I have not brought in unto thee — I, I repay it — from my hand thou dost seek it; I have been deceived by day, and I have been deceived by night;

⁴⁰Nony antoandro matin'ny hain'andro aho, ary nony alina dia matin'ny fanala; ary nandositra ny masoko ny torimaso.

⁴⁰I have been [thus]: in the day consumed me hath drought, and frost by night, and wander doth my sleep from mine eyes.

⁴¹Izao roa-polo taona izao no nitoerako tany an-tranonao, ka efatra ambin'ny folo taona no nanompoako anao hahazoako azy mirahavavy zanakao, ary enin-taona kosa hahazoako ny ondry aman'osinao, ary efa nanova ny karamako im-polo ianao.

⁴¹`This [is] to me twenty years in thy house: I have served thee fourteen years for thy two daughters, and six years for thy flock; and thou changest my hire ten times;

⁴²Raha tsy Andriamanitry ny raiko, dia Andriamanitr'i Abrahama, Ilay natahoran'Isaka, no nomba ahy, dia ho nampandehaninao maina tokoa aho ankehitriny. Andriamanitra efa nitsinjo ny fahoriako sy ny fisasaran'ny tanako ka nananatra anao halina.

⁴²unless the God of my father, the God of Abraham, and the Fear of Isaac, had been for me, surely now empty thou hadst sent me away; mine affliction and the labour of my hands hath God seen, and reproveth yesternight.`

⁴³Dia namaly Labana ka nanao tamin'i Jakoba hoe: Ireo zazavavy ireo dia zanako-vavy ary ireo zazalahy ireo dia zanako-lahy; ary ireo ondry aman'osy ireo dia ondry aman'osiko; ary izao rehetra hitanao izao dia ahy avokoa; ary ahoana no hataoko anio amin'ireto zanako-vavy, na amin'ny zanany naterany?

⁴³And Laban answereth and saith unto Jacob, `The daughters [are] my daughters, and the sons my sons, and the flock my flock, and all that thou art seeing [is] mine; and to my daughters — what do I to these to-day, or to their sons whom they have born?

⁴⁴Koa ankehitriny avia hanao fanekena isika, dia izaho sy ianao, ka aoka ho vavolombelona amiko sy aminao izany.

⁴⁴and now, come, let us make a covenant, I and thou, and it hath been for a witness between me and thee.`

⁴⁵Dia naka vato iray Jakoba ka nanangana azy ho tsangam-bato.

⁴⁵And Jacob taketh a stone, and lifteth it up [for] a standing pillar;

⁴⁶Ary hoy Jakoba tamin'ireo havany: Manangòna vato; dia naka vato izy, ka nataony antontany; ary dia nihinana teo anilan'ny antontam-bato izy rehetra.

⁴⁶and Jacob saith to his brethren, `Gather stones,` and they take stones, and make a heap; and they eat there on the heap;

⁴⁷Ary ny anaran'ny antontam-bato dia nataon'i Labana hoe Jegara-sahadota; fa Jakoba kosa nanao azy hoe Galeda.

⁴⁷and Laban calleth it Jegar-Sahadutha; and Jacob hath called it Galeed.

⁴⁸Ary hoy Labana: Ity antontam-bato ity no vavolombelona amintsika anio. Izany no nanaovany ny anarany hoe Galeda.

⁴⁸And Laban saith, `This heap [is] witness between me and thee to-day;` therefore hath he called its name Galeed;

⁴⁹Ary nataony hoe Mizpa koa izy, fa hoy izy: Jehovah hitazana ahy sy ianao, rehefa tsy mifankahita isika.

⁴⁹Mizpah also, for he said, `Jehovah doth watch between me and thee, for we are hidden one from another;

⁵⁰Raha tahìny hampahory ny zanako-vavy ianao, na hanambady afa-tsy ireo zanako-vavy ireo ihany, tsy misy olona eto amintsika, fa, indro, Andriamanitra no ho vavolombelona amintsika.

⁵⁰if thou afflict my daughters, or take wives beside my daughters — there is no man with us — see, God [is] witness between me and thee.`

⁵¹Ary hoy indray Labana tamin'i Jakoba: Indro ity antontam-bato ity, ary indro ity tsangam-bato ity izay naoriko eto anelanelantsika, izaho sy ianao;

⁵¹And Laban saith to Jacob, `Lo, this heap, and lo, the standing pillar which I have cast between me and thee;

⁵²dia aoka ho vavolombelona ity antontam-bato ity, ary aoka ho vavolombelona ity tsangam-bato ity, mba tsy hihoarako ity antontam-bato ity hankany aminao, ary mba tsy hihoaranao ity antontam-bato ity sy ity tsangam-bato ity hankatỳ amiko kosa hanisy ratsy.

⁵²this heap [is] witness, and the standing pillar [is] witness, that I do not pass over this heap unto thee, and that thou dost not pass over this heap and this standing pillar unto me — for evil;

⁵³Ny andriamanitr'i Abrahama sy ny andriamanitr'i Nahora, dia ny andriamanitry ny rain'izy mirahalahy anie hitsara antsika. Fa Ilay natahoran'i Isaka rainy kosa no nianianan'i Jakoba.Dia namono zavatra hatao fanatitra teo an-tendrombohitra Jakoba ka nanasa ny havany mba hihinan-kanina; dia nihinana izy ka nitoetra teo an-tendrombohitra nandritra ny alina,

⁵³the God of Abraham and the God of Nahor, doth judge between us — the God of their father,` and Jacob sweareth by the Fear of his father Isaac.

⁵⁴Dia namono zavatra hatao fanatitra teo an-tendrombohitra Jakoba ka nanasa ny havany mba hihinan-kanina; dia nihinana izy ka nitoetra teo an-tendrombohitra nandritra ny alina,

⁵⁴And Jacob sacrificeth a sacrifice in the mount, and calleth to his brethren to eat bread, and they eat bread, and lodge in the mount;

⁵⁵and Laban riseth early in the morning, and kisseth his sons and his daughters, and blesseth them; and Laban goeth on, and turneth back to his place.
