1ΗΚΟΥΣΕ δὲ Ἰακὼβ τὰ ρήματα τῶν υἱῶν Λάβαν λεγόντων· εἴληφεν Ἰακὼβ πάντα τὰ τοῦ πατρὸς ἡμῶν καὶ ἐκ τῶν τοῦ πατρὸς ἡμῶν πεποίηκε πᾶσαν τὴν δόξαν ταύτην.
1And he heard the words of Laban's sons, saying: 'Jacob hath taken away all that was our father's; and of that which was our father's hath he gotten all this wealth.'
2καὶ εἶδεν Ἰακὼβ τὸ πρόσωπον τοῦ Λάβαν, καὶ ἰδοὺ οὐκ ἦν πρὸς αὐτὸν ὡσεὶ ἐχθὲς καὶ τρίτην ἡμέραν.
2And Jacob beheld the countenance of Laban, and, behold, it was not toward him as beforetime.
3εἶπε δὲ Κύριος πρὸς Ἰακώβ· ἀποστρέφου εἰς τὴν γῆν τοῦ πατρός σου καὶ εἰς τὴν γενεάν σου, καὶ ἔσομαι μετὰ σοῦ.
3And the LORD said unto Jacob: 'Return unto the land of thy fathers, and to thy kindred; and I will be with thee.'
4ἀποστείλας δὲ Ἰακὼβ ἐκάλεσε Λείαν καὶ Ραχὴλ εἰς τὸ πεδίον, οὗ ἦν τὰ ποίμνια.
4And Jacob sent and called Rachel and Leah to the field unto his flock,
5καὶ εἶπεν αὐταῖς· ὁρῶ ἐγὼ τὸ πρόσωπον τοῦ πατρὸς ὑμῶν, ὅτι οὐκ ἔστι πρὸς ἐμοῦ ὡς ἐχθὲς καὶ τρίτην ἡμέραν· ὁ δὲ Θεὸς τοῦ πατρός μου ἦν μετ᾿ ἐμοῦ.
5and said unto them: 'I see your father's countenance, that it is not toward me as beforetime; but the God of my father hath been with me.
6καὶ αὐταὶ δὲ οἴδατε, ὅτι ἐν πάσῃ τῇ ἰσχύϊ μου δεδούλευκα τῷ πατρὶ ὑμῶν.
6And ye know that with all my power I have served your father.
7ὁ δὲ πατὴρ ὑμῶν παρεκρούσατό με καὶ ἤλλαξε τὸν μισθόν μου τῶν δέκα ἀμνῶν, καὶ οὐκ ἔδωκεν αὐτῷ ὁ Θεὸς κακοποιῆσαί με.
7And your father hath mocked me, and changed my wages ten times; but God suffered him not to hurt me.
8ἐὰν οὕτως εἴπῃ, τὰ ποικίλα ἔσται σου μισθός, καὶ τέξεται πάντα τὰ πρόβατα ποικίλα· ἐὰν δὲ εἴπῃ, τὰ λευκὰ ἔσται σου μισθός, καὶ τέξεται πάντα τὰ πρόβατα λευκά·
8If he said thus: The speckled shall be thy wages; then all the flock bore speckled; and if he said thus: The streaked shall be thy wages; then bore all the flock streaked.
9καὶ ἀφείλετο ὁ Θεὸς πάντα τὰ κτήνη τοῦ πατρὸς ὑμῶν καὶ ἔδωκέ μοι αὐτά.
9Thus God hath taken away the cattle of your father, and given them to me.
10καὶ ἐγένετο ἡνίκα ἐνεκίσσων τὰ πρόβατα ἐν γαστρὶ λαμβάνοντα, καὶ εἶδον τοῖς ὀφθαλμοῖς μου ἐν τῷ ὕπνῳ, καὶ ἰδοὺ οἱ τράγοι καὶ οἱ κριοὶ ἀναβαίνοντες ἐπὶ τὰ πρόβατα καὶ τὰς αἶγας διάλευκοι καὶ ποικίλοι καὶ σποδοειδεῖς ραντοί.
10And it came to pass at the time that the flock conceived, that I lifted up mine eyes, and saw in a dream, and, behold, the he-goats which leaped upon the flock were streaked, speckled, and grizzled.
11καὶ εἶπέ μοι ὁ ἄγγελος τοῦ Θεοῦ καθ᾿ ὕπνον· Ἰακώβ· ἐγὼ δὲ εἶπα· τί ἐστι;
11And the angel of God said unto me in the dream: Jacob; and I said: Here am I.
12καὶ εἶπεν· ἀνάβλεψον τοῖς ὀφθαλμοῖς σου, καὶ ἰδὲ τοὺς τράγους καὶ τοὺς κριοὺς ἀναβαίνοντας ἐπὶ τὰ πρόβατα καὶ τὰς αἶγας διαλεύκους καὶ ποικίλους καὶ σποδοειδεῖς ραντούς· ἑώρακα γάρ ὅσα σοι Λάβαν ποιεῖ·
12And he said: Lift up now thine eyes, and see, all the he-goats which leap upon the flock are streaked, speckled, and grizzled; for I have seen all that Laban doeth unto thee.
13ἐγώ εἰμι ὁ Θεὸς ὁ ὀφθείς σοι ἐν τόπῳ Θεοῦ, οὗ ἤλειψάς μοι ἐκεῖ στήλην καὶ ηὔξω μοι ἐκεῖ εὐχήν· νῦν οὖν ἀνάστηθι καὶ ἔξελθε ἐκ τῆς γῆς ταύτης καὶ ἄπελθε εἰς τὴν γῆν τῆς γενέσεώς σου, καὶ ἔσομαι μετὰ σοῦ.
13I am the God of Beth-el, where thou didst anoint a pillar, where thou didst vow a vow unto Me. Now arise, get thee out from this land, and return unto the land of thy nativity.'
14καὶ ἀποκριθεῖσαι Ραχὴλ καὶ Λεία εἶπαν αὐτῷ· μή ἐστιν ἡμῖν ἔτι μερὶς ἢ κληρονομία ἐν τῷ οἴκῳ τοῦ πατρὸς ἡμῶν;
14And Rachel and Leah answered and said unto him: 'Is there yet any portion or inheritance for us in our father's house?
15οὐχ ὡς αἱ ἀλλότριαι λελογίσμεθα αὐτῷ; πέπρακε γὰρ ἡμᾶς καὶ καταβρώσει κατέφαγε τὸ ἀργύριον ἡμῶν.
15Are we not accounted by him strangers? for he hath sold us, and hath also quite devoured our price.
16πάντα τὸν πλοῦτον καὶ τὴν δόξαν, ἣν ἀφείλετο ὁ Θεὸς τοῦ πατρὸς ἡμῶν, ἡμῖν ἔσται καὶ τοῖς τέκνοις ἡμῶν. νῦν οὖν ὅσα σοι εἴρηκεν ὁ Θεός, ποίει.
16For all the riches which God hath taken away from our father, that is ours and our children's. Now then, whatsoever God hath said unto thee, do.'
17Ἀναστὰς δὲ Ἰακὼβ ἔλαβε τὰς γυναῖκας αὐτοῦ καὶ τὰ παιδία αὐτοῦ ἐπὶ τὰς καμήλους.
17Then Jacob rose up, and set his sons and his wives upon the camels;
18καὶ ἀπήγαγε πάντα τὰ ὑπάρχοντα αὐτῷ, καὶ πᾶσαν τὴν ἀποσκευὴν αὐτοῦ, ἣν περιεποιήσατο ἐν τῇ Μεσοποταμίᾳ, καὶ πάντα τὰ αὐτοῦ ἀπελθεῖν πρὸς Ἰσαὰκ τὸν πατέρα αὐτοῦ εἰς γῆν Χαναάν.
18and he carried away all his cattle, and all his substance which he had gathered, the cattle of his getting, which he had gathered in Paddan-aram, to go to Isaac his father unto the land of Canaan.
19Λάβαν δὲ ᾤχετο κεῖραι τὰ πρόβατα αὐτοῦ· ἔκλεψε δὲ Ραχὴλ τὰ εἴδωλα τοῦ πατρὸς αὐτῆς.
19Now Laban was gone to shear his sheep. And Rachel stole the teraphim that were her father's.
20ἔκρυψε δὲ Ἰακὼβ Λάβαν τὸν Σύρον τοῦ μὴ ἀναγγεῖλαι αὐτῷ, ὅτι ἀποδιδράσκει.
20And Jacob outwitted Laban the Aramean, in that he told him not that he fled.
21καὶ ἀπέδρα αὐτὸς καὶ τὰ αὐτοῦ πάντα καὶ διέβη τὸν ποταμὸν καὶ ὥρμησεν εἰς τὸ ὄρος Γαλαάδ.
21So he fled with all that he had; and he rose up, and passed over the River, and set his face toward the mountain of Gilead.
22ἀνηγγέλη δὲ Λάβαν τῷ Σύρῳ τῇ ἡμέρᾳ τῇ τρίτῃ, ὅτι ἀπέδρα Ἰακώβ,
22And it was told Laban on the third day that Jacob was fled.
23καὶ παραλαβὼν τοὺς ἀδελφοὺς αὐτοῦ μεθ᾿ ἑαυτοῦ, ἐδίωξεν ὀπίσω αὐτοῦ ὁδὸν ἡμερῶν ἑπτὰ καὶ κατέλαβεν αὐτὸν ἐν τῷ ὄρει Γαλαάδ.
23And he took his brethren with him, and pursued after him seven days' journey; and he overtook him in the mountain of Gilead.
24ἦλθε δὲ ὁ Θεὸς πρὸς Λάβαν τὸν Σύρον καθ᾿ ὕπνον τὴν νύκτα καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ· φύλαξε σεαυτόν, μήποτε λαλήσῃς μετὰ Ἰακὼβ πονηρά.
24And God came to Laban the Aramean in a dream of the night, and said unto him: 'Take heed to thyself that thou speak not to Jacob either good or bad.'
25καὶ κατέλαβε Λάβαν τὸν Ἰακώβ· Ἰακὼβ δὲ ἔπηξε τὴν σκηνὴν αὐτοῦ ἐν τῷ ὄρει· Λάβαν δὲ ἔστησε τοὺς ἀδελφοὺς αὐτοῦ ἐν τῷ ὄρει Γαλαάδ.
25And Laban came up with Jacob. Now Jacob had pitched his tent in the mountain; and Laban with his brethren pitched in the mountain of Gilead.
26εἶπε δὲ Λάβαν τῷ Ἰακώβ· τί ἐποίησας; ἱνατί κρυφῇ ἀπέδρας καὶ ἐκλοποφόρησάς με καὶ ἀπήγαγες τὰς θυγατέρας μου ὡς αἰχμαλώτιδας μαχαίρᾳ;
26And Laban said to Jacob: 'What hast thou done, that thou hast outwitted me, and carried away my daughters as though captives of the sword?
27καὶ εἰ ἀνήγγειλάς μοι, ἐξαπέστειλα ἄν σε μετ᾿ εὐφροσύνης καὶ μετὰ μουσικῶν καὶ τυμπάνων καὶ κιθάρας,
27Wherefore didst thou flee secretly, and outwit me; and didst not tell me, that I might have sent thee away with mirth and with songs, with tabret and with harp;
28καὶ οὐκ ἠξιώθην καταφιλῆσαι τὰ παιδία μου καὶ τὰς θυγατέρας μου. νῦν δὲ ἀφρόνως ἔπραξας.
28and didst not suffer me to kiss my sons and my daughters? now hast thou done foolishly.
29καὶ νῦν ἰσχύει ἡ χείρ μου κακοποιῆσαί σε· ὁ δὲ Θεὸς τοῦ πατρός σου ἐχθὲς εἶπε πρός με λέγων· φύλαξε σεαυτόν, μή ποτε λαλήσῃς μετὰ Ἰακὼβ πονηρά.
29It is in the power of my hand to do you hurt; but the God of your father spoke unto me yesternight, saying: Take heed to thyself that thou speak not to Jacob either good or bad.
30νῦν οὖν πεπόρευσαι· ἐπιθυμίᾳ γὰρ ἐπεθύμησας ἀπελθεῖν εἰς τὸν οἶκον τοῦ πατρός σου· ἱνατί ἔκλεψας τοὺς θεούς μου;
30And now that thou art surely gone, because thou sore longest after thy father's house, wherefore hast thou stolen my gods?'
31ἀποκριθεὶς δὲ Ἰακὼβ εἶπε τῷ Λάβαν· ὅτι ἐφοβήθην· εἶπα γάρ· μή ποτε ἀφέλῃς τὰς θυγατέρας σου ἀπ᾿ ἐμοῦ καὶ πάντα τὰ ἐμά.
31And Jacob answered and said to Laban: 'Because I was afraid; for I said: Lest thou shouldest take thy daughters from me by force.
32καὶ εἶπεν Ἰακώβ· παρ᾿ ᾧ ἂν εὕρῃς τοὺς θεούς σου, οὐ ζήσεται ἐναντίον τῶν ἀδελφῶν ἡμῶν· ἐπίγνωθι τί ἐστι παρ᾿ ἐμοὶ τῶν σῶν καὶ λαβέ. καὶ οὐκ ἐπέγνω παρ᾿ αὐτῷ οὐδέν. οὐκ ᾔδει δὲ Ἰακώβ, ὅτι Ραχὴλ ἡ γυνὴ αὐτοῦ ἔκλεψεν αὐτούς.
32With whomsoever thou findest thy gods, he shall not live; before our brethren discern thou what is thine with me, and take it to thee.' — For Jacob knew not that Rachel had stolen them. —
33εἰσελθὼν δὲ Λάβαν ἠρεύνησεν εἰς τὸν οἶκον Λείας καὶ οὐχ εὗρεν· καὶ ἐξῆλθεν ἐκ τοῦ οἴκου Λείας καὶ ἠρεύνησε τὸν οἶκον Ἰακὼβ καὶ ἐν τῷ οἴκῳ τῶν δύο παιδισκῶν καὶ οὐχ εὗρεν. εἰσῆλθε δὲ καὶ εἰς τὸν οἶκον Ραχήλ.
33And Laban went into Jacob's tent, and into Leah's tent, and into the tent of the two maid-servants; but he found them not. And he went out of Leah's tent, and entered into Rachel's tent.
34Ραχὴλ δὲ ἔλαβε τὰ εἴδωλα καὶ ἐνέβαλεν αὐτὰ εἰς τὰ σάγματα τῆς καμήλου καὶ ἐπεκάθισεν αὐτοῖς.
34Now Rachel had taken the teraphim, and put them in the saddle of the camel, and sat upon them. And Laban felt about all the tent, but found them not.
35καὶ εἶπε τῷ πατρὶ αὐτῆς· μὴ βαρέως φέρε, κύριε· οὐ δύναμαι ἀναστῆναι ἐνώπιόν σου, ὅτι τὰ κατ᾿ ἐθισμὸν τῶν γυναικῶν μοι ἐστίν· ἠρεύνησε δὲ Λάβαν ἐν ὅλῳ τῷ οἴκῳ καὶ οὐχ εὗρε τὰ εἴδωλα.
35And she said to her father: 'Let not my lord be angry that I cannot rise up before thee; for the manner of women is upon me.' And he searched, but found not the teraphim.
36ὠργίσθη δὲ Ἰακὼβ καὶ ἐμαχέσατο τῷ Λάβαν· ἀποκριθεὶς δὲ Ἰακὼβ εἶπε τῷ Λάβαν· τί τὸ ἀδίκημά μου καὶ τί τὸ ἁμάρτημά μου, ὅτι κατεδίωξας ὀπίσω μου
36And Jacob was wroth, and strove with Laban. And Jacob answered and said to Laban: 'What is my trespass? what is my sin, that thou hast hotly pursued after me?
37καὶ ὅτι ἠρεύνησας πάντα τὰ σκεύη τοῦ οἴκου μου; τί εὗρες ἀπὸ πάντων τῶν σκευῶν τοῦ οἴκου σου; θές ὧδε ἐνώπιον τῶν ἀδελφῶν σου καὶ τῶν ἀδελφῶν μου, καὶ ἐλεγξάτωσαν ἀνὰ μέσον τῶν δύο ἡμῶν.
37Whereas thou hast felt about all my stuff, what hast thou found of all thy household stuff? Set it here before my brethren and thy brethren, that they may judge betwixt us two.
38ταῦτά μοι εἴκοσιν ἔτη ἐγώ εἰμι μετὰ σοῦ· τὰ πρόβατά σου καὶ αἱ αἶγές σου οὐκ ἠτεκνώθησαν· κριοὺς τῶν προβάτων σου οὐ κατέφαγον·
38These twenty years have I been with thee; thy ewes and thy she-goats have not cast their young, and the rams of thy flocks have I not eaten.
39θηριάλωτον οὐκ ἐνήνοχά σοι, ἐγὼ ἀπετίννυον παρ' ἐμαυτοῦ κλέμματα ἡμέρας καὶ κλέμματα νυκτός·
39That which was torn of beasts I brought not unto thee; I bore the loss of it; of my hand didst thou require it, whether stolen by day or stolen by night.
40ἐγενόμην τῆς ἡμέρας συγκαιόμενος τῷ καύματι καὶ τῷ παγετῷ τῆς νυκτός, καὶ ἀφίστατο ὁ ὕπνος μου ἀπὸ τῶν ὀφθαλμῶν μου.
40Thus I was: in the day the drought consumed me, and the frost by night; and my sleep fled from mine eyes.
41ταῦτά μοι εἴκοσιν ἔτη ἐγώ εἰμι ἐν τῇ οἰκιίᾳ σου· ἐδούλευσά σοι δεκατέσσαρα ἔτη ἀντὶ τῶν δύο θυγατέρων σου καὶ ἓξ ἔτη ἐν τοῖς προβάτοις σου, καὶ παρελογίσω τὸν μισθόν μου δέκα ἀμνάσιν.
41These twenty years have I been in thy house: I served thee fourteen years for thy two daughters, and six years for thy flock; and thou hast changed my wages ten times.
42εἰ μὴ ὁ Θεὸς τοῦ πατρός μου Ἁβραὰμ καὶ ὁ φόβος Ἰσαὰκ ἦν μοι, νῦν ἂν κενόν με ἐξαπέστειλας· τὴν ταπείνωσίν μου καὶ τὸν κόπον τῶν χειρῶν μου εἶδεν ὁ Θεὸς καὶ ἤλεγξέ σε ἐχθές.
42Except the God of my father, the God of Abraham, and the Fear of Isaac, had been on my side, surely now hadst thou sent me away empty. God hath seen mine affliction and the labour of my hands, and gave judgment yesternight.'
43ἀποκριθεὶς δὲ Λάβαν εἶπε τῷ Ἰακώβ· αἱ θυγατέρες θυγατέρες μου, καὶ οἱ υἱοὶ υἱοί μου, καὶ τὰ κτήνη κτήνη μου, καὶ πάντα, ὅσα σὺ ὁρᾷς, ἐμά ἐστι καὶ τῶν θυγατέρων μου· τί ποιήσω ταύταις σήμερον ἢ τοῖς τέκνοις αὐτῶν, οἷς ἔτεκον;
43And Laban answered and said unto Jacob: 'The daughters are my daughters, and the children are my children, and the flocks are my flocks, and all that thou seest is mine; and what can I do this day for these my daughters, or for their children whom they have borne?
44νῦν οὖν δεῦρο διαθώμεθα διαθήκην ἐγώ τε καὶ σύ, καὶ ἔσται εἰς μαρτύριον ἀνὰ μέσον ἐμοῦ καὶ σοῦ, εἶπε δὲ αὐτῷ· ἰδοὺ οὐδεὶς μεθ᾿ ἡμῶν ἐστιν, ἰδέ, ὁ Θεὸς μάρτυς ἀνὰ μέσον ἐμοῦ καὶ σοῦ.
44And now come, let us make a covenant, I and thou; and let it be for a witness between me and thee.'
45λαβὼν δὲ Ἰακὼβ λίθον ἔστησεν αὐτὸν στήλην.
45And Jacob took a stone, and set it up for a pillar.
46εἶπε δὲ Ἰακὼβ τοῖς ἀδελφοῖς αὐτοῦ· συλλέγετε λίθους. καὶ συνέλεξαν λίθους καὶ ἐποίησαν βουνόν, καὶ ἔφαγον ἐκεῖ ἐπὶ τοῦ βουνοῦ.
46And Jacob said unto his brethren: 'Gather stones'; and they took stones, and made a heap. And they did eat there by the heap.
47καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ Λάβαν· ὁ βουνὸς οὗτος μαρτυρεῖ ἀνὰ μέσον ἐμοῦ καὶ σοῦ σήμερον.
47And Laban called it Jegar-sahadutha; but Jacob called it Galeed.
48καὶ ἐκάλεσεν αὐτὸν Λάβαν Βουνὸς τῆς μαρτυρίας. Ἰακὼβ δὲ ἐκάλεσεν αὐτὸν Βουνὸς μάρτυς. εἶπε δὲ Λάβαν τῷ Ἰακώβ· ἰδοὺ ὁ βουνὸς οὗτος καὶ ἡ στήλη, ἣν ἔστησα ἀνὰ μέσον ἐμοῦ καὶ σοῦ, μαρτυρεῖ ὁ βουνὸς οὗτος, καὶ μαρτυρεῖ ἡ στήλη αὕτη· διὰ τοῦτο ἐκλήθη τὸ ὄνομα αὐτοῦ, Βουνὸς μαρτυρεῖ.
48And Laban said: 'This heap is witness between me and thee this day.' Therefore was the name of it called Galeed;
49καὶ ἡ ¨Ορασις, ἣν εἶπεν· ἐπίδοι ὁ Θεὸς ἀνὰ μέσον ἐμοῦ καὶ σοῦ, ὅτι ἀποστησόμεθα ἕτερος ἀφ᾿ ἑτέρου.
49and Mizpah, for he said: 'The LORD watch between me and thee, when we are absent one from another.
50εἰ ταπεινώσεις τὰς θυγατέρας μου, εἰ λήψῃ γυναῖκας πρὸς ταῖς θυγατράσι μου, ὅρα, οὐδεὶς μεθ᾿ ἡμῶν ἐστιν ὁρῶν· Θεὸς μάρτυς μεταξὺ ἐμοῦ καὶ μεταξὺ σοῦ.
50If thou shalt afflict my daughters, and if thou shalt take wives beside my daughters, no man being with us; see, God is witness betwixt me and thee.'
51καὶ εἶπε Λάβαν τῷ Ἰακώβ· ἰδοὺ ὁ βουνὸς οὗτος καὶ μάρτυς ἡ στήλη αὕτη.
51And Laban said to Jacob: 'Behold this heap, and behold the pillar, which I have set up betwixt me and thee.
52ἐὰν τε γὰρ ἐγὼ μὴ διαβῶ πρὸς σὲ μηδὲ σὺ διαβῇς πρός με τὸν βουνὸν τοῦτον καὶ τὴν στήλην ταύτην ἐπὶ κακίᾳ,
52This heap be witness, and the pillar be witness, that I will not pass over this heap to thee, and that thou shalt not pass over this heap and this pillar unto me, for harm.
53ὁ Θεὸς Ἁβραὰμ καὶ ὁ Θεὸς Ναχὼρ κρινεῖ ἀνὰ μέσον ἡμῶν.
53The God of Abraham, and the God of Nahor, the God of their father, judge betwixt us.' And Jacob swore by the Fear of his father Isaac.
54καὶ ὤμοσεν Ἰακὼβ κατὰ τοῦ φόβου τοῦ πατρὸς αὐτοῦ Ἰσαάκ, καὶ ἔθυσε θυσίαν ἐν τῷ ὄρει καὶ ἐκάλεσε τοὺς ἀδελφοὺς αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἔφαγον καὶ ἔπιον καὶ ἐκοιμήθησαν ἐν τῷ ὄρει.
54And Jacob offered a sacrifice in the mountain, and called his brethren to eat bread; and they did eat bread, and tarried all night in the mountain.
55ἀναστὰς δὲ Λάβαν τὸ πρωΐ κατεφίλησε τοὺς υἱοὺς καὶ τὰς θυγατέρας αὐτοῦ καὶ εὐλόγησεν αὐτούς, καὶ ἀποστραφεὶς Λάβαν ἀπῆλθεν εἰς τὸν τόπον αὐτοῦ.
55(32-1) And early in the morning Laban rose up, and kissed his sons and his daughters, and blessed them. And Laban departed, and returned unto his place.
