Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Simplified)
1But after that he heard the words of the sons of Laban, saying: Jacob hath taken away all that was our father’s, and being enriched by his substance is become great:
1雅各 听见 拉班 的儿子们有话说:「 雅各 把我们父亲所有的都夺了去,并借着我们父亲的,得了这一切的荣耀。」
2And perceiving also that Laban’s countenance was not towards him as yesterday and the other day,
2雅各 见 拉班 的气色向他不如从前了。
3Especially the Lord saying to him: Return into the land of thy fathers, and to thy kindred, and I will be with thee.
3耶和华对 雅各 说:「你要回你祖、你父之地,到你亲族那里去,我必与你同在。」
4He sent, and called Rachel and Lia into the field, where he fed the flocks,
4雅各 就打发人,叫 拉结 和 利亚 到田野羊群那里来,
5And said to them: I see your father’s countenance is not towards me as yesterday and the other day: but the God of my father hath been with me.
5对她们说:「我看你们父亲的气色向我不如从前了;但我父亲的 神向来与我同在。
6And you know that I have served your father to the uttermost of my power.
6你们也知道,我尽了我的力量服事你们的父亲。
7Yea, your father also hath overreached me, and hath changed my wages ten times: and yet God hath not suffered him to hurt me.
7你们的父亲欺哄我,十次改了我的工价;然而 神不容他害我。
8If at any time he said: The speckled shall be thy wages: all the sheep brought forth speckled: but when he said on the contrary: Thou shalt take all the white ones for thy wages: all the flocks brought forth white ones.
8他若说:『有点的归你作工价』,羊群所生的都有点;他若说:『有纹的归你作工价』,羊群所生的都有纹。
9And God hath taken your father’s substance, and given it to me.
9这样, 神把你们父亲的牲畜夺来赐给我了。
10For after that time came of the ewes conceiving, I lifted up my eyes, and saw in my sleep that the males which leaped upon the females were of divers colours, and spotted, and speckled.
10羊配合的时候,我梦中举目一看,见跳母羊的公羊都是有纹的、有点的、有花斑的。
11And the angel of God said to me in my sleep: Jacob? And I answered: Here I am.
11神的使者在那梦中呼叫我说:『 雅各 。』我说:『我在这里。』
12And he said: Lift up thy eyes, and see that all the males leaping upon the females, are of divers colours, spotted, and speckled. For I have seen all that Laban hath done to thee.
12他说:『你举目观看,跳母羊的公羊都是有纹的、有点的、有花斑的;凡 拉班 向你所做的,我都看见了。
13I am the God of Bethel, where thou didst anoint the stone, and make a vow to me. Now therefore arise, and go out of this land, and return into thy native country.
13我是 伯特利 的 神;你在那里 用油 浇过柱子,向我许过愿。现今你起来,离开这地,回你本地去吧!』」
14And Rachel and Lia answered: Have we any thing left among the goods and inheritance of our father’s house?
14拉结 和 利亚 回答 雅各 说:「在我们父亲的家里还有我们可得的分吗?还有我们的产业吗?
15Hath he not counted us as strangers and sold us, and eaten up the price of us?
15我们不是被他当作外人吗?因为他卖了我们,吞了我们的价值。
16But God hath taken our father’s riches, and delivered them to us, and to our children: wherefore do all that God hath commanded thee.
16神从我们父亲所夺出来的一切财物,那就是我们和我们孩子们的。现今凡 神所吩咐你的,你只管去行吧!」
17Then Jacob rose up, and having set his children and wives upon camels, went his way.
17雅各 起来,使他的儿子和妻子都骑上骆驼,
18And he took all his substance, and flocks, and whatsoever he had gotten in Mesopotamia, and went forward to Isaac his father to the land of Chanaan.
18又带着他在 巴旦·亚兰 所得的一切牲畜和财物,往 迦南 地、他父亲 以撒 那里去了。
19At that time Laban was gone to shear his sheep, and Rachel stole away her father’s idols.
19当时 拉班 剪羊毛去了, 拉结 偷了他父亲家中的神像。
20And Jacob would not confess to his father in law that he was flying away.
20雅各 背着 亚兰 人 拉班 偷走了,并不告诉他,
21And when he was gone, together with all that belonged to him, and having passed the river, was going on towards mount Galaad,
21就带着所有的逃跑。他起身过大河,面向 基列山 行去。
22It was told Laban on the third day that Jacob fled.
22到第三日,有人告诉 拉班 , 雅各 逃跑了。
23And he took his brethren with him, and pursued after him seven days; and overtook him in the mount of Galaad.
23拉班 带领他的众弟兄去追赶,追了七日,在 基列山 就追上了。
24And he saw in a dream God saying to him: Take heed thou speak not any thing harshly against Jacob.
24夜间, 神到 亚兰 人 拉班 那里,在梦中对他说:「你要小心,不可与 雅各 说好说歹。」
25Now Jacob had pitched his tent in the mountain: and when he with his brethren had overtaken him, he pitched his tent in the same mount of Galaad.
25拉班 追上 雅各 。 雅各 在山上支搭帐棚; 拉班 和他的众弟兄也在 基列山 上支搭帐棚。
26And he said to Jacob: Why hast thou done thus, to carry away, without my knowledge, my daughters, as captives taken with the sword.
26拉班 对 雅各 说:「你做的是什么事呢?你背着我偷走了,又把我的女儿们带了去,如同用刀剑掳去的一般。
27Why wouldst thou run away privately and not acquaint me, that I might have brought thee on the way with joy, and with songs, and with timbrels, and with harps?
27你为什么暗暗地逃跑,偷着走,并不告诉我,叫我可以欢乐、唱歌、击鼓、弹琴地送你回去?
28Thou hast not suffered me to kiss my sons and daughters: thou hast done foolishly: and now, indeed,
28又不容我与外孙和女儿亲嘴?你所行的真是愚昧!
29It is in my power to return thee evil: but the God of your father said to me yesterday: Take heed thou speak not any thing harshly against Jacob.
29我手中原有能力害你,只是你父亲的 神昨夜对我说:『你要小心,不可与 雅各 说好说歹。』
30Suppose thou didst desire to go to thy friends, and hadst a longing after thy father’s house: why hast thou stolen away my gods?
30现在你虽然想你父家,不得不去,为什么又偷了我的神像呢?」
31Jacob answered: That I departed unknown to thee, it was for fear lest thou wouldst take away thy daughters by force.
31雅各 回答 拉班 说:「恐怕你把你的女儿从我夺去,所以我逃跑。
32But whereas thou chargest me with theft: with whomsoever thou shalt find thy gods, let him be slain before our brethren. Search, and if thou find any of thy things with me, take them away. Now when he said this, he knew not that Rachel had stolen the idols.
32至于你的神像,你在谁那里搜出来,就不容谁存活。当着我们的众弟兄,你认一认,在我这里有什么东西是你的,就拿去。」原来 雅各 不知道 拉结 偷了那些神像。
33So Laban went into the tent of Jacob, and of Lia, and of both the handmaids, and found them not. And when he was entered into Rachel’s tent,
33拉班 进了 雅各 、 利亚 ,并两个使女的帐棚,都没有搜出来,就从 利亚 的帐棚出来,进了 拉结 的帐棚。
34She in haste hid the idols under the camel’s furniture, and sat upon them: and when he had searched all the tent, and found nothing,
34拉结 已经把神像藏在骆驼的驮篓里,便坐在上头。 拉班 摸遍了那帐棚,并没有摸着。
35She said: Let not my lord be angry that I cannot rise up before thee, because it has now happened to me, according to the custom of women, So his careful search was in vain.
35拉结 对她父亲说:「现在我身上不便,不能在你面前起来,求我主不要生气。」这样, 拉班 搜寻神像,竟没有搜出来。
36And Jacob being angry, said in a chiding manner: For what fault of mine, and for what offence on my part hast thou so hotly pursued me,
36雅各 就发怒斥责 拉班 说:「我有什么过犯,有什么罪恶,你竟这样火速地追我?
37And searched all my household stuff? What hast thou found of all the substance of thy house? lay it here before my brethren, and thy brethren, and let them judge between me and thee.
37你摸遍了我一切的家具,你搜出什么来呢?可以放在你我弟兄面前,叫他们在你我中间辨别辨别。
38Have I therefore been with thee twenty years? thy ewes and goats were not barren, the rams of thy flocks I did not eat:
38我在你家这二十年,你的母绵羊、母山羊没有掉过胎。你群中的公羊,我没有吃过;
39Neither did I show thee that which the beast had torn, I made good all the damage: whatsoever was lost by theft, thou didst exact it of me:
39被野兽撕裂的,我没有带来给你,是我自己赔上。无论是白日,是黑夜,被偷去的,你都向我索要。
40Day and night was I parched with heat, and with frost, and sleep departed from my eyes.
40我白日受尽干热,黑夜受尽寒霜,不得合眼睡着,我常是这样。
41And in this manner have I served thee in thy house twenty years, fourteen for thy daughters, and six for thy flocks: thou hast changed also my wages ten times.
41我这二十年在你家里,为你的两个女儿服事你十四年,为你的羊群服事你六年,你又十次改了我的工价。
42Unless the God of my father Abraham, and the fear of Isaac had stood by me, peradventure now thou hadst sent me away naked: God beheld my affliction and the labour of my hands, and rebuked thee yesterday.
42若不是我父亲 以撒 所敬畏的 神,就是 亚伯拉罕 的 神与我同在,你如今必定打发我空手而去。 神看见我的苦情和我的劳碌,就在昨夜责备你。」
43Laban answered him: The daughters are mine and the children, and thy flocks, and all things that thou seest are mine: what can I do to my children, and grandchildren?
43拉班 回答 雅各 说:「这女儿是我的女儿,这些孩子是我的孩子,这些羊群也是我的羊群;凡在你眼前的都是我的。我的女儿并她们所生的孩子,我今日能向他们做什么呢?
44Come therefore, let us enter into a league: that it may be for a testimony between me and thee.
44来吧!你我二人可以立约,作你我中间的证据。」
45And Jacob took a stone, and set it up for a title:
45雅各 就拿一块石头立作柱子,
46And he said to his brethren: Bring hither stones. And they gathering stones together, made a heap, and they ate upon it.
46又对众弟兄说:「你们堆聚石头。」他们就拿石头来堆成一堆,大家便在旁边吃喝。
47And Laban called it The witness heap: and Jacob, The hillock of testimony: each of them according to the propriety of his language.
47拉班 称那石堆为 伊迦尔·撒哈杜他 , 雅各 却称那石堆为 迦累得 。
48And Laban said: This heap shall be a witness between me and thee this day, and therefore the name thereof was called Galaad, that is, The witness heap.
48拉班 说:「今日这石堆作你我中间的证据。」因此这地方名叫 迦累得 ,
49The Lord behold and judge between us when we shall be gone one from the other.
49又叫 米斯巴 ,意思说:「我们彼此离别以后,愿耶和华在你我中间鉴察。
50If thou afflict my daughters, and if thou bring in other wives over them: none is witness of our speech but God, who is present and beholdeth.
50你若苦待我的女儿,又在我的女儿以外另娶妻,虽没有人知道,却有 神在你我中间作见证。」
51And he said again to Jacob: Behold, this heap, and the stone which I have set up between me and thee,
51拉班 又说:「你看我在你我中间所立的这石堆和柱子。
52Shall be a witness: this heap, I say, and the stone, be they for a testimony, if either I shall pass beyond it going towards thee, or thou shalt pass beyond it, thinking harm to me.
52这石堆作证据,这柱子也作证据。我必不过这石堆去害你;你也不可过这石堆和柱子来害我。
53The God of Abraham, and the God of Nachor, the God of their father, judge between us. And Jacob swore by the fear of his father Isaac.
53但愿 亚伯拉罕 的 神和 拿鹤 的 神,就是他们父亲的 神,在你我中间判断。」 雅各 就指着他父亲 以撒 所敬畏的 神 起誓,
54And after he had offered sacrifices in the mountain, he called his brethren to eat bread. And when they had eaten, they lodged there:
54又在山上献祭,请众弟兄来吃饭。他们吃了饭,便在山上住宿。
55But Laban arose in the night, and kissed his sons, and daughters, and blessed them: and returned to his place.
55拉班 清早起来,与他外孙和女儿亲嘴,给他们祝福,回往自己的地方去了。
