創世記 31
Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Traditional)
Berean Standard Bible
1雅各 聽見 拉班 的兒子們有話說：「 雅各 把我們父親所有的都奪了去，並藉着我們父親的，得了這一切的榮耀。」
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.”
2雅各 見 拉班 的氣色向他不如從前了。
2And Jacob saw from the countenance of Laban that his attitude toward him had changed.
3耶和華對 雅各 說：「你要回你祖、你父之地，到你親族那裏去，我必與你同在。」
3Then the LORD said to Jacob, “Go back to the land of your fathers and to your kindred, and I will be with you.”
4雅各 就打發人，叫 拉結 和 利亞 到田野羊群那裏來，
4So Jacob sent word and called Rachel and Leah to the field where his flocks were,
5對她們說：「我看你們父親的氣色向我不如從前了；但我父親的上帝向來與我同在。
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.
6你們也知道，我盡了我的力量服事你們的父親。
6You know that I have served your father with all my strength.
7你們的父親欺哄我，十次改了我的工價；然而上帝不容他害我。
7And although he has cheated me and changed my wages ten times, God has not allowed him to harm me.
8他若說：『有點的歸你作工價』，羊群所生的都有點；他若說：『有紋的歸你作工價』，羊群所生的都有紋。
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.
9這樣，上帝把你們父親的牲畜奪來賜給我了。
9Thus God has taken away your father’s livestock and given them to me.
10羊配合的時候，我夢中舉目一看，見跳母羊的公羊都是有紋的、有點的、有花斑的。
10When the flocks were breeding, I saw in a dream that the streaked, spotted, and speckled males were mating with the females.
11上帝的使者在那夢中呼叫我說：『 雅各 。』我說：『我在這裏。』
11In that dream the angel of God said to me, ‘Jacob!’ And I replied, ‘Here I am.’
12他說：『你舉目觀看，跳母羊的公羊都是有紋的、有點的、有花斑的；凡 拉班 向你所做的，我都看見了。
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.
13我是 伯特利 的上帝；你在那裏 用油 澆過柱子，向我許過願。現今你起來，離開這地，回你本地去吧！』」
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.’”
14拉結 和 利亞 回答 雅各 說：「在我們父親的家裏還有我們可得的分嗎？還有我們的產業嗎？
14And Rachel and Leah replied, “Do we have any portion or inheritance left in our father’s house?
15我們不是被他當作外人嗎？因為他賣了我們，吞了我們的價值。
15Are we not regarded by him as outsiders? Not only has he sold us, but he has certainly squandered what was paid for us.
16上帝從我們父親所奪出來的一切財物，那就是我們和我們孩子們的。現今凡上帝所吩咐你的，你只管去行吧！」
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.”
17雅各 起來，使他的兒子和妻子都騎上駱駝，
17Then Jacob got up and put his children and his wives on camels,
18又帶着他在 巴旦‧亞蘭 所得的一切牲畜和財物，往 迦南 地、他父親 以撒 那裏去了。
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.
19當時 拉班 剪羊毛去了， 拉結 偷了他父親家中的神像。
19Now while Laban was out shearing his sheep, Rachel stole her father’s household idols.
20雅各 背着 亞蘭 人 拉班 偷走了，並不告訴他，
20Moreover, Jacob deceived Laban the Aramean by not telling him that he was running away.
21就帶着所有的逃跑。他起身過大河，面向 基列山 行去。
21So he fled with all his possessions, crossed the Euphrates, and headed for the hill country of Gilead.
22到第三日，有人告訴 拉班 ， 雅各 逃跑了。
22On the third day Laban was informed that Jacob had fled.
23拉班 帶領他的眾弟兄去追趕，追了七日，在 基列山 就追上了。
23So he took his relatives with him, pursued Jacob for seven days, and overtook him in the hill country of Gilead.
24夜間，上帝到 亞蘭 人 拉班 那裏，在夢中對他說：「你要小心，不可與 雅各 說好說歹。」
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.”
25拉班 追上 雅各 。 雅各 在山上支搭帳棚； 拉班 和他的眾弟兄也在 基列山 上支搭帳棚。
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.
26拉班 對 雅各 說：「你做的是甚麼事呢？你背着我偷走了，又把我的女兒們帶了去，如同用刀劍擄去的一般。
26Then Laban said to Jacob, “What have you done? You have deceived me and carried off my daughters like captives of war!
27你為甚麼暗暗地逃跑，偷着走，並不告訴我，叫我可以歡樂、唱歌、擊鼓、彈琴地送你回去？
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.
28又不容我與外孫和女兒親嘴？你所行的真是愚昧！
28But you did not even let me kiss my grandchildren and my daughters goodbye. Now you have done a foolish thing.
29我手中原有能力害你，只是你父親的上帝昨夜對我說：『你要小心，不可與 雅各 說好說歹。』
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.’
30現在你雖然想你父家，不得不去，為甚麼又偷了我的神像呢？」
30Now you have gone off because you long for your father’s house. But why have you stolen my gods?”
31雅各 回答 拉班 說：「恐怕你把你的女兒從我奪去，所以我逃跑。
31“I was afraid,” Jacob answered, “for I thought you would take your daughters from me by force.
32至於你的神像，你在誰那裏搜出來，就不容誰存活。當着我們的眾弟兄，你認一認，在我這裏有甚麼東西是你的，就拿去。」原來 雅各 不知道 拉結 偷了那些神像。
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.
33拉班 進了 雅各 、 利亞 ，並兩個使女的帳棚，都沒有搜出來，就從 利亞 的帳棚出來，進了 拉結 的帳棚。
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.
34拉結 已經把神像藏在駱駝的馱簍裏，便坐在上頭。 拉班 摸遍了那帳棚，並沒有摸着。
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.
35拉結 對她父親說：「現在我身上不便，不能在你面前起來，求我主不要生氣。」這樣， 拉班 搜尋神像，竟沒有搜出來。
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.
36雅各 就發怒斥責 拉班 說：「我有甚麼過犯，有甚麼罪惡，你竟這樣火速地追我？
36Then Jacob became incensed and challenged Laban. “What is my crime?” he said. “For what sin of mine have you so hotly pursued me?
37你摸遍了我一切的家具，你搜出甚麼來呢？可以放在你我弟兄面前，叫他們在你我中間辨別辨別。
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.
38我在你家這二十年，你的母綿羊、母山羊沒有掉過胎。你群中的公羊，我沒有吃過；
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.
39被野獸撕裂的，我沒有帶來給你，是我自己賠上。無論是白日，是黑夜，被偷去的，你都向我索要。
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.
40我白日受盡乾熱，黑夜受盡寒霜，不得合眼睡着，我常是這樣。
40As it was, the heat consumed me by day and the frost by night, and sleep fled from my eyes.
41我這二十年在你家裏，為你的兩個女兒服事你十四年，為你的羊群服事你六年，你又十次改了我的工價。
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!
42若不是我父親 以撒 所敬畏的上帝，就是 亞伯拉罕 的上帝與我同在，你如今必定打發我空手而去。上帝看見我的苦情和我的勞碌，就在昨夜責備你。」
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.”
43拉班 回答 雅各 說：「這女兒是我的女兒，這些孩子是我的孩子，這些羊群也是我的羊群；凡在你眼前的都是我的。我的女兒並她們所生的孩子，我今日能向他們做甚麼呢？
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?
44來吧！你我二人可以立約，作你我中間的證據。」
44Come now, let us make a covenant, you and I, and let it serve as a witness between you and me.”
45雅各 就拿一塊石頭立作柱子，
45So Jacob picked out a stone and set it up as a pillar,
46又對眾弟兄說：「你們堆聚石頭。」他們就拿石頭來堆成一堆，大家便在旁邊吃喝。
46and he said to his relatives, “Gather some stones.” So they took stones and made a mound, and there by the mound they ate.
47拉班 稱那石堆為 伊迦爾‧撒哈杜他 ， 雅各 卻稱那石堆為 迦累得 。
47Laban called it Jegar-sahadutha, and Jacob called it Galeed.
48拉班 說：「今日這石堆作你我中間的證據。」因此這地方名叫 迦累得 ，
48Then Laban declared, “This mound is a witness between you and me this day.” Therefore the place was called Galeed.
49又叫 米斯巴 ，意思說：「我們彼此離別以後，願耶和華在你我中間鑒察。
49It was also called Mizpah, because Laban said, “May the LORD keep watch between you and me when we are absent from each other.
50你若苦待我的女兒，又在我的女兒以外另娶妻，雖沒有人知道，卻有上帝在你我中間作見證。」
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.”
51拉班 又說：「你看我在你我中間所立的這石堆和柱子。
51Laban also said to Jacob, “Here is the mound, and here is the pillar I have set up between you and me.
52這石堆作證據，這柱子也作證據。我必不過這石堆去害你；你也不可過這石堆和柱子來害我。
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.
53但願 亞伯拉罕 的上帝和 拿鶴 的上帝，就是他們父親的上帝，在你我中間判斷。」 雅各 就指着他父親 以撒 所敬畏的 上帝 起誓，
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.
54又在山上獻祭，請眾弟兄來吃飯。他們吃了飯，便在山上住宿。
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.
55拉班 清早起來，與他外孫和女兒親嘴，給他們祝福，回往自己的地方去了。
55Early the next morning, Laban got up and kissed his grandchildren and daughters and blessed them. Then he left to return home.
