1Now Jacob heard that Laban’s sons were saying, “Jacob has taken away all that belonged to our father and built all this wealth at our father’s expense.”
1LOHE aku la o Iakoba i na olelo a na keikikane a Labana, i ka i ana ae, Ua lawe aku la o Iakoba i na mea a pau a ko kakou makuakane, a ua loaa ia ia keia waiwai a pau no na mea a ko kakou makuakane.
2And Jacob saw from the countenance of Laban that his attitude toward him had changed.
2Nana aku la o Iakoba i ka maka o Labana, aole ia i maliu mai ia ia e like mamua.
3Then the LORD said to Jacob, “Go back to the land of your fathers and to your kindred, and I will be with you.”
3Olelo mai la hoi o Iehova ia Iakoba, E hoi hou aku oe i ka aina o kou poe makua, a i na hoahanau ou; a owau kekahi pu me oe.
4So Jacob sent word and called Rachel and Leah to the field where his flocks were,
4Hoouna aku la o Iakoba e kahea ia Rahela laua o Lea e hele mai ma ke kula i kona poe holoholona.
5and he told them, “I can see from your father’s countenance that his attitude toward me has changed; but the God of my father has been with me.
5I aku la oia ia laua, Ua ike no wau i ka maka o ko olua makuakane, aole ia i maliu mai ia'u e like mamua: aka, me au no ke Akua o ko'u makuakane.
6You know that I have served your father with all my strength.
6Ua ike hoi olua i ko'u malama i ana i ko olua makuakane me ko'u ikaika a pau.
7And although he has cheated me and changed my wages ten times, God has not allowed him to harm me.
7A ua hoopunipuni mai ko olua makuakane ia'u, a he umi kana hoololi ana i ka'u uku: aka, aole ke Akua i ae mai e hoopoino mai ia ia'u.
8If he said, ‘The speckled will be your wages,’ then the whole flock bore speckled offspring. If he said, ‘The streaked will be your wages,’ then the whole flock bore streaked offspring.
8Ina i olelo mai kela penei, O na mea kikokiko kau uku, alaila hanau mai la na holoholona i na mea kikokiko: a i olelo mai ia penei, O na mea onionio kau uku, alaila hanau mai la na holoholona a pau i na mea onionio.
9Thus God has taken away your father’s livestock and given them to me.
9Pela ke Akua i lawe ai i na holoholona a ko olua makuakane, a ua haawi mai ia'u.
10When the flocks were breeding, I saw in a dream that the streaked, spotted, and speckled males were mating with the females.
10A i ka manawa a ka poe holoholona i ko ai, nana aku la ko'u mau maka ma ka moeuhane, ike aku la, aia hoi, o na kao kane i lele aku maluna o na kao wahine ua onionio, a ua kikokiko, a me ke kikohukohu.
11In that dream the angel of God said to me, ‘Jacob!’ And I replied, ‘Here I am.’
11Olelo mai la ka anela o ke Akua ia'u ma ka moeuhane, E Iakoba: i aku la au, Eia wau.
12‘Look up,’ he said, ‘and see that all the males that are mating with the flock are streaked, spotted, or speckled; for I have seen all that Laban has done to you.
12I mai la kela, E nana aku oe e ike, o na kao kane e lele ana maluna o na kao wahine, ua onionio, ua kikokiko, a me ke kikohukohu: no ka mea, ua ike no wau i ka mea a pau a Labana i hana mai ai ia oe.
13I am the God of Bethel, where you anointed the pillar and made a solemn vow to Me. Now get up and leave this land at once, and return to your native land.’”
13Owau no ke Akua no Betela, kahi au i poni ai i ka pohaku kukulu, kahi hoi au i hoohiki ai i ka hoohiki ia'u: ano hoi, e ku ae oe, e haalele aku i keia aina, a e hoi hou aku i ka aina o kou poe hoahanau.
14And Rachel and Leah replied, “Do we have any portion or inheritance left in our father’s house?
14Olelo mai la o Rahela laua o Lea, i mai la ia ia, Auhea kekahi kuleana, a o kekahi waiwai hooili no maua ma ka hale o ko maua makuakane?
15Are we not regarded by him as outsiders? Not only has he sold us, but he has certainly squandered what was paid for us.
15Aole anei i manaoia maua e ia, he mau mea e? no ka mea, ua lilo maua i ke kuaiia e ia, a ua pau loa hoi ko maua kala ia ia.
16Surely all the wealth that God has taken away from our father belongs to us and to our children. So do whatever God has told you.”
16Nolaila, o ka waiwai a pau a ke Akua i lawe ae mai ko maua makuakane mai, no kakou ia a no na keiki a kakou: ano hoi, e hana aku oe i ka mea a ke Akua i olelo mai ai ia oe.
17Then Jacob got up and put his children and his wives on camels,
17Alaila, ku ae la o Iakoba, hoee aku la i kana mau keiki a me kana mau wahine maluna o na kamelo;
18and he drove all his livestock before him, along with all the possessions he had acquired in Paddan-aram, to go to his father Isaac in the land in Canaan.
18A lawe aku la ia i kana poe holoholona a pau, a me kona waiwai a pau i loaa ia ia, o na holoholona ana, i loaa ia ia ma Padanarama, e hele aku ai io Isaaka la i kona makuakane, ma ka aina o Kanaana.
19Now while Laban was out shearing his sheep, Rachel stole her father’s household idols.
19Ua hala aku la o Labana e ako i kana poe hipa: a aihue iho la o Rahela i na kii o kona makuakane.
20Moreover, Jacob deceived Laban the Aramean by not telling him that he was running away.
20Puni aku la ka naau o Labana ka Suria, ia Iakoba, i ka hai ole aku ia ia i kona mahuka ana.
21So he fled with all his possessions, crossed the Euphrates, and headed for the hill country of Gilead.
21Pela oia i mahuka ai me kana mau mea a pau: ku ae la ia, hele mai la ma keia aoao o ka muliwai, a hele pololei mai la i ka mauna o Gileada.
22On the third day Laban was informed that Jacob had fled.
22I ke kolu o ka la, olelo aku la kekahi ia Labana, Ua mahuka aku o Iakoba.
23So he took his relatives with him, pursued Jacob for seven days, and overtook him in the hill country of Gilead.
23Kono aku la ia i kona poe hoahanau e hele pa me ia, alualu mai mahope ona i na la hele ehiku, a hiki mai la io Iakoba la ma ka mauna o Gileada.
24But that night God came to Laban the Aramean in a dream and warned him, “Be careful not to say anything to Jacob, either good or bad.”
24Hele mai la ke Akua io Labana la ka Suria ma ka moeuhane i ka po, i mai la ia ia, E ao ia oe iho, mai olelo aku oe ia Iakoba i ka mea aloha, aole hoi ka mea hoino.
25Now Jacob had pitched his tent in the hill country of Gilead when Laban overtook him, and Laban and his relatives camped there as well.
25Alaila loaa mai la o Iakoba ia Labana. Ua kukulu o Iakoba i kona halelewa ma ua mauna la: kukulu hoi o Labana me kona poe hoahanau ma ka mauna o Gileada.
26Then Laban said to Jacob, “What have you done? You have deceived me and carried off my daughters like captives of war!
26Olelo mai la o Labana ia Iakoba, Heaha kau i hana'i i hoopunipuni mai ai oe ia'u, a i lawe aku ai hoi i ka'u mau kaikamahine, e like me na pio e ke kana?
27Why did you run away secretly and deceive me, without even telling me? I would have sent you away with joy and singing, with tambourines and harps.
27No ke aha la oe i holo malu mai ai, me ka puni mai ia'u, aole hoi i hai mai ia'u, i hoihoi aku ai au ia oe me ka olioli a me na mele, me na pahukani a me na lira!
28But you did not even let me kiss my grandchildren and my daughters goodbye. Now you have done a foolish thing.
28Aole hoi i ae mai oe ia'u e honi i ka'u mau moopuna a me na kaikamahine a'u? He lapuwale ka hana ana au i hana'i.
29I have power to do you great harm, but last night the God of your father said to me, ‘Be careful not to say anything to Jacob, either good or bad.’
29E hiki no i kuu lima ke hana aku ia oe i ke ino: aka, o ke Akua o kou makuakane i olelo mai ia'u, i ka po nei, i ka i ana, E ao oe, mai olelo aku oe ia Iakoba i ka mea aloha, aole hoi ka mea hoino.
30Now you have gone off because you long for your father’s house. But why have you stolen my gods?”
30Ano hoi, i ka hele ana ua hala aku la oe, no kou iini nui ana i ka hale o kou makuakane; no ke aha hoi oe i aihue ai i ko'u mau akua?
31“I was afraid,” Jacob answered, “for I thought you would take your daughters from me by force.
31Olelo aku la o Iakoba ia Labana, i aku la, No ka mea, ua makau wau: i iho la au, E kaili aku paha oe i kau mau kaikamahine mai o'u aku nei.
32If you find your gods with anyone here, he shall not live! In the presence of our relatives, see for yourself if anything is yours, and take it back.” For Jacob did not know that Rachel had stolen the idols.
32A o ka mea e loaa ia oe, ia ia kou mau akua, aole ia e ola; imua o ko kana mau hoahanau e nana oe i kau maanei me au, a e lawe aku oe i ou la. No ka mea, aole i ike o Iakoba, na Rahela i aihue ia mau mea.
33So Laban went into Jacob’s tent, then Leah’s tent, and then the tents of the two maidservants, but he found nothing. Then he left Leah’s tent and entered Rachel’s tent.
33Komo aku la o Labana iloko o ka halelewa o Iakoba, a iloko o ka halelewa o Lea, iloko hoi o na halelewa o na kauwawahine elua, aole i loaa. Alaila, hele aku la ia iwaho o ka halelewa o Lea, a komo aku la iloko o ka halelewa o Rahela.
34Now Rachel had taken Laban’s household idols, put them in the saddlebag of her camel, and was sitting on them. And Laban searched everything in the tent but found nothing.
34Ua lawe aku no o Rahela i ua mau kii la, a waiho pu iho la me na noho kamelo, a noho iho la maluna. Huli iho la o Labana i ka halelewa a pau, aole nae i loaa.
35Rachel said to her father, “Sir, do not be angry that I cannot stand up before you; for I am having my period.” So Laban searched, but could not find the household idols.
35I aku la o Rahela i kona makuakane, mai huhu mai ko'u haku i kuu hiki ole ke ku ae iluna; no ka mea, he mai wahine ko'u. Imi iho la oia, aole nae i loaa ia ia na kii.
36Then Jacob became incensed and challenged Laban. “What is my crime?” he said. “For what sin of mine have you so hotly pursued me?
36Ukiuki iho la o Iakoba, a ao aku la ia Labana: olelo aku la o Iakoba, i aku la ia Labana, Heaha ko'u hala? heaha hoi ko'u hewa, i alualu wela mai ai oe ia'o?
37You have searched all my goods! Have you found anything that belongs to you? Put it here before my brothers and yours, that they may judge between the two of us.
37A ua huli iho oe i ka'u ukana a pau, a heaha kau i loaa ai o na mea a pau o kou hale? e kau mai ianei imua o ko'u mau hoahanau a me kou mau hoahanau, i hooponopono mai ai lakou iwaena o kaua.
38I have been with you for twenty years now. Your sheep and goats have not miscarried, nor have I eaten the rams of your flock.
38He iwakalua na makahiki a'u i noho ai me oe; o kau poe hipa wahine a me kau poe kao wahine, aole lakou i hanau i ka wa, aole hoi au i ai i na hipa kane o kou poe holoholona.
39I did not bring you anything torn by wild beasts; I bore the loss myself. And you demanded payment from me for what was stolen by day or night.
39O na mea i haehaeia, aole au i lawe aku ion la; na'u no i uku aku: nau i lawe aku ia mea mai kuu lima aku, no ka mea i aihueia i ke ao, a i aihueia i ka po.
40As it was, the heat consumed me by day and the frost by night, and sleep fled from my eyes.
40Pela wau; i ke ao, ua wela au i ka la, a i ka po, ua make i ke anu: a holo aku la ka hiamoe mai o'u mau maka aku.
41Thus for twenty years I have served in your household—fourteen years for your two daughters and six years for your flocks—and you have changed my wages ten times!
41Pela wau i na makahiki he iwakalua maloko o kou hale; hooikaika au nau i na makahiki he umikumamaha no kau mau kaikamahine, a me na makahiki eono no kou poe holoholona: a he umi kau hoololi ana i ka'u uku.
42If the God of my father, the God of Abraham and the Fear of Isaac, had not been with me, surely by now you would have sent me away empty-handed. But God has seen my affliction and the toil of my hands, and last night He rendered judgment.”
42Ina aole me au ke Akua o ko'u knpunakane, ke Akua o Aberahama, a o ka makau o Isaaka, he oiaio, ina ua hoihoi nele mai oe ia'u i neia manawa. Ua ike mai no ke Akua i ko'u popilikia, a me ka hana ana a ko u mau lima, a ua papa mai ia oe i ka po nei.
43But Laban answered Jacob, “These daughters are my daughters, these sons are my sons, and these flocks are my flocks! Everything you see is mine! Yet what can I do today about these daughters of mine or the children they have borne?
43Olelo mai la o Labana ia Iakoba, i mai la, Na'u no keia mau kaikamahine, a na'u no keia mau kamalii, a na'u no hoi keia poe holoholona, a na'u no na mea a pau au e ike nei; a heaha ka'u mea e hiki ai i keia la ke hana aku i keia mau kaikamahine a'u, a me keia mau kamalii a lakou i hanau ai?
44Come now, let us make a covenant, you and I, and let it serve as a witness between you and me.”
44Nolaila ea, e hoopaa kaua i berita, owau a o oe, i mea hoikeike mawaena o kaua.
45So Jacob picked out a stone and set it up as a pillar,
45Lalau aku la o Iakoba i ka pohaku, a hooku ae la ia mea i kukulu.
46and he said to his relatives, “Gather some stones.” So they took stones and made a mound, and there by the mound they ate.
46I aku la hoi o Iakoba i kona poe hoahanau, E houluulu mai oukou i na pohaku; lawe mai la lakou i na pohaku, a hana iho la i ahu; a ai iho la lakou maluna o ua ahu la.
47Laban called it Jegar-sahadutha, and Jacob called it Galeed.
47Kapa iho la o Labana ia ahu, o I Iegasaduha: kapa iho ia o Iakoba ia mea, o I Galeeda.
48Then Laban declared, “This mound is a witness between you and me this day.” Therefore the place was called Galeed.
48Olelo mai la o Labana, He mea hoikeike keia ahu pohaku mawaena o kaua i keia la. Nolaila i kapaia'i kona inoa o Galeeda.
49It was also called Mizpah, because Laban said, “May the LORD keep watch between you and me when we are absent from each other.
49A o I Mizepa hoi; no ka mea, i mai la ia, O Iehova ke kiai mai mawaena o kaua, i ko kaua manawa e noho kaawale ana.
50If you mistreat my daughters or take other wives, although no one is with us, remember that God is a witness between you and me.”
50Ina oe e hoopilikia i ka'u mau kaikamahine ina hoi oe e lawe i na wahine hou, he okoa keia mau kaikamahine a'u, aohe kanaka me kaua; e ao oe, o ke Akua no ke ike maka mai mawaena o kaua.
51Laban also said to Jacob, “Here is the mound, and here is the pillar I have set up between you and me.
51I mai la o Labana ia Iakoba, E nana i keia ahu, e nana hoi i keia pohaku kukulu a'u i hoolei aku ai mawaena o kaua;
52This mound is a witness, and this pillar is a witness, that I will not go past this mound to harm you, and you will not go past this mound and pillar to harm me.
52He mea hoikeike keia ahu, he mea hoikeike hoi keia pohaku kukulu, i hele ole aku ai au ma keia aoao o keia ahu i ou la, aole hoi oe e hele mai ma keia aoao o ua ahu nei a me keia pohaku kukulu i o'u nei, e hana ino.
53May the God of Abraham and the God of Nahor, the God of their father, judge between us.” So Jacob swore by the Fear of his father Isaac.
53O ke Akua o Aberahama, a o ke Akua o Nahora, ke Akua o ko laua makuakane, e hooponopono mawaena o kaua. A hoohiki aku la o Iakoba ma ka Makau o kona makuakane o Isaaka.
54Then Jacob offered a sacrifice on the mountain and invited his relatives to eat a meal. And after they had eaten, they spent the night on the mountain.
54Alaila, kaumaha aku la o Iakoba i ka mohai maluna o ia mauna, a kahea aku la i kona poe hoahanau e ai i ka berena: ai iho la lakou i ka berena, a moe iho la ia po ma ka mauna.
55Early the next morning, Laban got up and kissed his grandchildren and daughters and blessed them. Then he left to return home.
55I kakahiaka nui, aia ae ia o Labana, honi ae la i kana mau moopuna a me kana mau kaikamahine, a hoomaikai iho la ia lakou; hele aku la o Labana, a hoi aku la i kona wahi.
