1He 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, has he gotten all this wealth.”
1 Kal a maa Laban ize arey sanney, i go ga ne: «Yakuba na iri baaba harey kulu sambu. Iri baabo arzaka ra no a du darza woone kulu.»
2Jacob saw the expression on Laban’s face, and, behold, it was not toward him as before.
2 Yakuba mo laakal da Laban moyduma, a di kaŋ a na moyduma bare nga se.
3Yahweh said to Jacob, “Return to the land of your fathers, and to your relatives, and I will be with you.”
3 Rabbi ne Yakuba se: «Ma ye ni baaba laabu ka koy ni dumey do, ay mo ga bara ni banda.»
4Jacob sent and called Rachel and Leah to the field to his flock,
4 Yakuba binde donton ka Rahila nda Laya ce, ngey mo koy saajo ra a kurey do.
5and said to them, “I see the expression on your father’s face, that it is not toward me as before; but the God of my father has been with me.
5 A ne i se: «Ay go ga laakal d'araŋ baabo moyduma. Ay di kaŋ a na moyduma bare ay se. Amma ay baaba Irikoyo go ay banda.
6You know that I have served your father with all of my strength.
6 Araŋ bay mo mate kaŋ ay may araŋ baaba se d'ay gaabo kulu.
7Your father has deceived me, and changed my wages ten times, but God didn’t allow him to hurt me.
7 Araŋ baaba n'ay fafagu mo, k'ay alhakku barmay sorro way, amma Irikoy mana ta a m'ay zamba.
8If 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.
8 D'a ne: ‹Icangarey no ga ciya ni alhakko,› kala saaya din kuro kulu ma icangareyaŋ hay. D'a ne mo: ‹Waaliya-waaliyey no ga ciya ni alhakko,› kala almaney kulu ma hay waaliya-waaliyayaŋ.
9Thus God has taken away your father’s livestock, and given them to me.
9 Yaadin no Irikoy n'araŋ baaba almaney sambu k'ay no nd'ey.
10It happened during mating season that I lifted up my eyes, and saw in a dream, and behold, the male goats which leaped on the flock were streaked, speckled, and grizzled.
10 A go mo, alwaato kaŋ kuro ga gunde sambu, ay n'ay boŋ sambu ka di hindiri ra, danga jindey kaŋ yaŋ ga kurey kaaru, waaliya-waaliyayaŋ no, da tombi-tombi nda cangare-cangare-koyyaŋ.
11The angel of God said to me in the dream, ‘Jacob,’ and I said, ‘Here I am.’
11 Irikoy malayka mo ne ay se hindiro ra: ‹Yakuba!› ay mo ne: ‹Ay neeya.›
12He said, ‘Now lift up your eyes, and behold, all the male goats which leap on the flock are streaked, speckled, and grizzled, for I have seen all that Laban does to you.
12 A ne: ‹Ma ni boŋ sambu sohõ ka jindey guna. I kulu kaŋ ga kurey kaaru waaliya-waaliyayaŋ no, da tombi-tombi nda cangare-cangareyaŋ, zama ay di hay kulu kaŋ Laban goono ga te ni se.
13I am the God of Bethel, where you anointed a pillar, where you vowed a vow to me. Now arise, get out from this land, and return to the land of your birth.’”
13 Ay ya Irikoy no, Betel wano, nango kaŋ ni na tondi sinjanta tuusu da ji, nango kaŋ ni na alkawli sambu ay se mo. Tun sohõ ka fun laabu woone ra ka ye ni hayyaŋ laabo ra.› »
14Rachel and Leah answered him, “Is there yet any portion or inheritance for us in our father’s house?
14 Rahila nda Laya tu a se ka ne: «Iri gonda baa wala tubu fo no iri baaba windo ra koyne?
15Aren’t we accounted by him as foreigners? For he has sold us, and has also quite devoured our money.
15 Manti sanda yawyaŋ no a n'iri himandi, zama a n'iri neera, a n'iri nooro kulu ŋwa mo.
16For all the riches which God has taken away from our father, that is ours and our children’s. Now then, whatever God has said to you, do.”
16 Zama arzaka kulu kaŋ Irikoy kaa iri baaba kambe ra, iri nda iri izey wane yaŋ no. Sohõ binde, hay kulu kaŋ Irikoy ci ni se, kala ni m'a te.»
17Then Jacob rose up, and set his sons and his wives on the camels,
17 Saaya din ra Yakuba tun ka nga izey da nga wandey dake yoyaŋ boŋ.
18and he took away all his livestock, and all his possessions which he had gathered, including the livestock which he had gained in Paddan Aram, to go to Isaac his father, to the land of Canaan.
18 A na nga almaney kulu ku, da arzaka kulu kaŋ a margu, a duura almaney kaŋ yaŋ a margu Padan-Aram kwaara ra, zama nga ma koy nga baaba Isaka do Kanaana laabo ra.
19Now Laban had gone to shear his sheep: and Rachel stole the teraphim teraphim were household idols that may have been associated with inheritance rights to the household property. that were her father’s.
19 Amma Laban jin ka koy nga feejey hõseyaŋ do. Rahila mo na nga baaba toorey zay.
20Jacob deceived Laban the Syrian, in that he didn’t tell him that he was running away.
20 Yakuba binde na Suriyanca Laban hiila, zama a mana ne a se nga ga zuru.
21So he fled with all that he had. He rose up, passed over the River, and set his face toward the mountain of Gilead.
21 Yaadin binde no a zuru nda hay kulu kaŋ go nga se. A tun ka koy ka gooro daŋandi. A kamba ka guna Jileyad tondey haray.
22Laban was told on the third day that Jacob had fled.
22 Zaari hinzanta hane binde i ci Laban se kaŋ Yakuba zuru.
23He took his relatives with him, and pursued after him seven days’ journey. He overtook him in the mountain of Gilead.
23 Nga mo na nga nya-izey margu nga banda ka laawalo gana jirbi iyye diraw. A n'a to Jileyad tondey boŋ.
24God came to Laban, the Syrian, in a dream of the night, and said to him, “Take heed to yourself that you don’t speak to Jacob either good or bad.”
24 Irikoy binde kaa Suriyanca Laban do cin jirbi hindiri ra ka ne a se: «Ma haggoy da ni boŋ! Ni ma si salaŋ da Yakuba hala ilaalo no wala ihanno no.»
25Laban caught up with Jacob. Now Jacob had pitched his tent in the mountain, and Laban with his relatives encamped in the mountain of Gilead.
25 Laban binde na Yakuba gar, a jin ka nga kuuru fuwo sinji tondo boŋ. Laban da nga nya-izey mo na ngey waney sinji Jileyad tondo boŋ.
26Laban said to Jacob, “What have you done, that you have deceived me, and carried away my daughters like captives of the sword?
26 Laban ne Yakuba se: «Ifo no ni te wo kaŋ ni n'ay hiila ya-cine? Ni n'ay ize wayey mo ku danga wongu tamyaŋ.
27Why did you flee secretly, and deceive me, and didn’t tell me, that I might have sent you away with mirth and with songs, with tambourine and with harp;
27 Ifo se no ni tugu ka zuru? Ni n'ay hiila, ni mana ci ay se mo, hal ay ma ni sallama nda farhã da dooni nda haray da moolo.
28and didn’t allow me to kiss my sons and my daughters? Now have you done foolishly.
28 Ni mana naŋ mo ay m'ay ize arey d'ay ize wayey garbey sunsum. Ni na saamotaray goy te.
29It is in the power of my hand to hurt you, but the God of your father spoke to me last night, saying, ‘Take heed to yourself that you don’t speak to Jacob either good or bad.’
29 To. Ay gonda hina kaŋ ga hasaraw te ni se ay kambe ra, amma ni baabo Irikoyo salaŋ ay se bi cin ka ne: ‹Ma te laakal da ni boŋ. Ma si sanni fo te Yakuba se, hala ihanno no wala ilaalo no.›
30Now, you want to be gone, because you greatly longed for your father’s house, but why have you stolen my gods?”
30 Sohõ binde, baa kaŋ ni faaji ni baaba kwaara se, ifo se no ni n'ay toorey mo zay? »
31Jacob answered Laban, “Because I was afraid, for I said, ‘Lest you should take your daughters from me by force.’
31 Yakuba tu ka ne Laban se: «Zama ay humburu se no. Zama ay ne hambara ni ga ni ize wayey ta ay gaa da gaabi.
32Anyone you find your gods with shall not live. Before our relatives, discern what is yours with me, and take it.” For Jacob didn’t know that Rachel had stolen them.
32 Amma boro kulu kaŋ do ni na ni toorey gar, a ma si funa. Neewo, iri nya-izey jine, kala ni ma guna ka di haŋ kaŋ ci ni wane kaŋ go ay do, m'a sambu.» Zama Yakuba mana bay hala Rahila n'i zay no.
33Laban went into Jacob’s tent, into Leah’s tent, and into the tent of the two female servants; but he didn’t find them. He went out of Leah’s tent, and entered into Rachel’s tent.
33 Laban binde furo Yakuba kuuru fuwo ra, da Laya kuuru fuwo ra, da koŋŋa hinka kuuru fuwey ra mo, amma a mana di ey. A fatta Laya kuuru fuwo ra ka furo Rahila kuuru fuwo ra.
34Now Rachel had taken the teraphim, put them in the camel’s saddle, and sat on them. Laban felt about all the tent, but didn’t find them.
34 Rahila kaŋ na toorey sambu din n'i daŋ yo jinayyaŋ ra ka goro i boŋ. Laban na kuuru fuwo kulu dadabe amma a mana di ey.
35She said to her father, “Don’t let my lord be angry that I can’t rise up before you; for I’m having my period.” He searched, but didn’t find the teraphim.
35 Kala Rahila ne nga baabo se: «Ay jine bora ma si binya zama ay si hin ka tun ka kay ni jine no, zama wayboro alaada ka bara ay gaa.» Laban ceeci, amma a mana di toorey.
36Jacob was angry, and argued with Laban. Jacob answered Laban, “What is my trespass? What is my sin, that you have hotly pursued after me?
36 Yakuba binde futu. A deeni Laban gaa. Yakuba tu ka ne Laban se: «Ifo ga ti ay taali? Wala ifo ga ti ay zunubi, kaŋ se ni n'ay ce gana nda konni ya-cine?
37Now that you have felt around in all my stuff, what have you found of all your household stuff? Set it here before my relatives and your relatives, that they may judge between us two.
37 To. Baa kaŋ ni n'ay jinayey kulu fisi, ni windo jinay woofo no ni gar? Ma kand'a neewo ay nya-izey da ni nya-izey game ra, zama i ma ciiti dumbu iri boro hinka game ra.
38“These twenty years I have been with you. Your ewes and your female goats have not cast their young, and I haven’t eaten the rams of your flocks.
38 Jiiri waranko wo kaŋ ay go ni banda, ni feejey da ni hinciney mana te gunde hasaraw, ni feeji gaarey mo, ay mana i ŋwa.
39That which was torn of animals, I didn’t bring to you. I bore its loss. Of my hand you required it, whether stolen by day or stolen by night.
39 Wo kaŋ yaŋ ganji hamey tooru, ay mana kand'a ni se, ay no g'a mursa sambu. Ay kambe ra no ni g'a ceeci, baa i n'a zay no, cin wala zaari.
40This was my situation: in the day the drought consumed me, and the frost by night; and my sleep fled from my eyes.
40 Yaadin n'ay bara, zaari ra wayno dunga n'ay ŋwa, cin mo, yeeno. Jirbi mo zuru ay moy se.
41These 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.
41 Jiiri waranka no ay go ni windo ra. Ay may ni se jiiri way cindi taaci ni ize way hinka sabbay se, jiiri iddu mo ni almaney sabbay se. Sorro way mo no ni g'ay alhakko barmay.
42Unless the God of my father, the God of Abraham, and the fear of Isaac, had been with me, surely now you would have sent me away empty. God has seen my affliction and the labor of my hands, and rebuked you last night.”
42 Da manti ay baaba Irikoyo, ay kaayo Ibrahim Irikoyo, nga kaŋ Isaka mo ga humburu, a go ay banda, doŋ hunkuna ni g'ay sallama no kambe koonu. Amma Irikoy di ay kankamo d'ay kambey taabo, nga mo deeni ni gaa bi cin.»
43Laban 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?
43 Laban tu ka ne Yakuba se: «Ize wayey wo, ay ize wayyaŋ no. Zankey wo mo, ay wane yaŋ no. Kurey wo, ay wane yaŋ no. Hay kulu mo kaŋ ni goono ga di, ay wane yaŋ no. Mate n'ay ga te ay ize wayey wo se hunkuna, wala mo izey kaŋ yaŋ i hay se?
44Now come, let us make a covenant, you and I; and let it be for a witness between me and you.”
44 Sohõ binde, kaa iri ma koy ka sappe te, in da nin, a ma ciya seeda in da nin game ra.»
45Jacob took a stone, and set it up for a pillar.
45 Yakuba na tondi fo sambu ka sinji a ma te seeda.
46Jacob said to his relatives, “Gather stones.” They took stones, and made a heap. They ate there by the heap.
46 Yakuba ne nga nya-izey se: «Wa tondiyaŋ margu.» I na tondiyaŋ sambu ka gusam ka te fonguyaŋ hari, i ŋwa mo noodin tondi gusamo boŋ.
47Laban called it Jegar Sahadutha, “Jegar Sahadutha” means “Witness Heap” in Aramaic. but Jacob called it Galeed. “Galeed” means “Witness Heap” in Hebrew.
47 Laban ne a se Yegar-Sahaduta, amma Yakuba ne a se Jileyad.
48Laban said, “This heap is witness between me and you this day.” Therefore it was named Galeed
48 Laban ne: «Tondi gusam woone, seeda no in da nin game ra hunkuna.» Woodin se no i ne a se Jileyad,
49and Mizpah, for he said, “Yahweh watch between me and you, when we are absent one from another.
49 da Mispa mo, zama a ne: «Rabbi ma kosaray in da nin game ra, saaya kulu kaŋ iri go fayante nda care.
50If you afflict my daughters, or if you take wives besides my daughters, no man is with us; behold, God is witness between me and you.”
50 Da ni n'ay ize wayey gurzugandi, da mo ni na wande fooyaŋ hiiji i banda kaŋ manti ay ize no, ma fongu, baa kaŋ boro kulu si no iri banda, kaŋ Irikoy no ga ti seeda in da nin game ra.»
51Laban said to Jacob, “See this heap, and see the pillar, which I have set between me and you.
51 Laban ne Yakuba se koyne: «Tondi gusamo wo neeya, fonguyaŋ haro mo neeya, kaŋ ay jisi in da nin game ra.
52May this heap be a witness, and the pillar be a witness, that I will not pass over this heap to you, and that you will not pass over this heap and this pillar to me, for harm.
52 Gusamo wo ma te seeda. Fonguyaŋ haro wo mo ma te seeda: Ay si gusamo wo daaru ka koy ni do. Ni mo, ni ma si gusamo wo da fonguyaŋ haro wo daaru ka kaa ay do da hasaraw miila.
53The God of Abraham, and the God of Nahor, the God of their father, judge between us.” Then Jacob swore by the fear of his father, Isaac.
53 Ibrahim Irikoyo, Nahor wane Irikoy, i baabo wane Irikoyo, a ma ciiti iri game ra.» Kala Yakuba ze da bora kaŋ nga baabo Isaka ga humburu.
54Jacob offered a sacrifice in the mountain, and called his relatives to eat bread. They ate bread, and stayed all night in the mountain.
54 Waato din gaa Yakuba na sargay* salle tondo boŋ. A na nga nya-izey ce i ma kaa ka ŋwa. I ŋwa, i kani mo cino din tondo boŋ.
55Early in the morning, Laban rose up, and kissed his sons and his daughters, and blessed them. Laban departed and returned to his place.
55 Laban mo tun susubay za da hinay. A na nga ize arey da nga izey wayey garbey sunsum, ka albarka gaara i se. Laban dira ka ye ka koy nga bumbo nango ra.
