King James Version with Apocrypha
Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Traditional)
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 glory.
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。」
2And Jacob beheld the countenance of Laban, and, behold, it was not toward him as before.
2雅各 見 拉班 的氣色向他不如從前了。
3And the LORD said unto Jacob, Return unto the land of thy fathers, and to thy kindred; and I will be with thee.
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。」
4And Jacob sent and called Rachel and Leah to the field unto his flock,
4雅各 就打發人,叫 拉結 和 利亞 到田野羊群那裏來,
5And said unto them, I see your father’s countenance, that it is not toward me as before; but the God of my father hath been with me.
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。
6And ye know that with all my power I have served your father.
6你們也知道,我盡了我的力量服事你們的父親。
7And your father hath deceived me, and changed my wages ten times; but God suffered him not to hurt me.
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。
8If he said thus, The speckled shall be thy wages; then all the cattle bare speckled: and if he said thus, The ringstraked shall be thy hire; then bare all the cattle ringstraked.
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。
9Thus God hath taken away the cattle of your father, and given them to me.
9這樣,上帝把你們父親的牲畜奪來賜給我了。
10And it came to pass at the time that the cattle conceived, that I lifted up mine eyes, and saw in a dream, and, behold, the rams which leaped upon the cattle were ringstraked, speckled, and grisled.
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。
11And the angel of God spake unto me in a dream, saying , Jacob: And I said, Here am I.
11上帝的使者在那夢中呼叫我說:『 雅各 。』我說:『我在這裏。』
12And he said, Lift up now thine eyes, and see, all the rams which leap upon the cattle are ringstraked, speckled, and grisled: for I have seen all that Laban doeth unto thee.
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。
13I am the God of Beth-el, where thou anointedst the pillar, and where thou vowedst a vow unto me: now arise, get thee out from this land, and return unto the land of thy kindred.
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!』」
14And Rachel and Leah answered and said unto him, Is there yet any portion or inheritance for us in our father’s house?
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?
15Are we not counted of him strangers? for he hath sold us, and hath quite devoured also our money.
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。
16For all the riches which God hath taken from our father, that is ours, and our children’s: now then, whatsoever God hath said unto thee, do.
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!」
17¶ Then Jacob rose up, and set his sons and his wives upon camels;
17雅各 起來,使他的兒子和妻子都騎上駱駝,
18And he carried away all his cattle, and all his goods which he had gotten, the cattle of his getting, which he had gotten in Padan-aram, for to go to Isaac his father in the land of Canaan.
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。
19And Laban went to shear his sheep: and Rachel had stolen the images that were her father’s.
19當時 拉班 剪羊毛去了, 拉結 偷了他父親家中的神像。
20And Jacob stole away unawares to Laban the Syrian, in that he told him not that he fled.
20雅各 背着 亞蘭 人 拉班 偷走了,並不告訴他,
21So he fled with all that he had; and he rose up, and passed over the river, and set his face toward the mount Gilead.
21就帶着所有的逃跑。他起身過大河,面向 基列山 行去。
22And it was told Laban on the third day that Jacob was fled.
22到第三日,有人告訴 拉班 , 雅各 逃跑了。
23And he took his brethren with him, and pursued after him seven days’ journey; and they overtook him in the mount Gilead.
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。
24And God came to Laban the Syrian in a dream by night, and said unto him, Take heed that thou speak not to Jacob either good or bad.
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。」
25¶ Then Laban overtook Jacob. Now Jacob had pitched his tent in the mount: and Laban with his brethren pitched in the mount of Gilead.
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。
26And Laban said to Jacob, What hast thou done, that thou hast stolen away unawares to me, and carried away my daughters, as captives taken with the sword?
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。
27Wherefore didst thou flee away secretly, and steal away from me; and didst not tell me, that I might have sent thee away with mirth, and with songs, with tabret, and with harp?
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?
28And hast not suffered me to kiss my sons and my daughters? thou hast now done foolishly in so doing.
28又不容我與外孫和女兒親嘴?你所行的真是愚昧!
29It is in the power of my hand to do you hurt: but the God of your father spake unto me yesternight, saying, Take thou heed that thou speak not to Jacob either good or bad.
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。』
30And now, though thou wouldest needs be gone, because thou sore longedst after thy father’s house, yet wherefore hast thou stolen my gods?
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?」
31And Jacob answered and said to Laban, Because I was afraid: for I said, Peradventure thou wouldest take by force thy daughters from me.
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。
32With whomsoever thou findest thy gods, let him 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.
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。
33And Laban went into Jacob’s tent, and into Leah’s tent, and into the two maidservants’ tents; but he found them not. Then went he out of Leah’s tent, and entered into Rachel’s tent.
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。
34Now Rachel had taken the images, and put them in the camel’s furniture, and sat upon them. And Laban searched all the tent, but found them not.
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。
35And she said to her father, Let it not displease my lord that I cannot rise up before thee; for the custom of women is upon me. And he searched, but found not the images.
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。
36¶ And Jacob was wroth, and chode with Laban: and Jacob answered and said to Laban, What is my trespass? what is my sin, that thou hast so hotly pursued after me?
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?
37Whereas thou hast searched 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 both.
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。
38This twenty years have I been with thee; thy ewes and thy she goats have not cast their young, and the rams of thy flock have I not eaten.
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;
39That which was torn of beasts I brought not unto thee; I bare the loss of it; of my hand didst thou require it, whether stolen by day, or stolen by night.
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。
40Thus I was; in the day the drought consumed me, and the frost by night; and my sleep departed from mine eyes.
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。
41Thus have I been twenty years in thy house; I served thee fourteen years for thy two daughters, and six years for thy cattle: and thou hast changed my wages ten times.
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。
42Except the God of my father, the God of Abraham, and the fear of Isaac, had been with me, surely thou hadst sent me away now empty. God hath seen mine affliction and the labour of my hands, and rebuked thee yesternight.
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。」
43¶ And Laban answered and said unto Jacob, These daughters are my daughters, and these children are my children, and these cattle are my cattle, and all that thou seest is mine: and what can I do this day unto these my daughters, or unto their children which they have born?
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?
44Now therefore come thou, let us make a covenant, I and thou; and let it be for a witness between me and thee.
44來吧!你我二人可以立約,作你我中間的證據。」
45And Jacob took a stone, and set it up for a pillar.
45雅各 就拿一塊石頭立作柱子,
46And Jacob said unto his brethren, Gather stones; and they took stones, and made an heap: and they did eat there upon the heap.
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。
47And Laban called it Jegar-sahadutha: but Jacob called it Galeed.
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 。
48And Laban said, This heap is a witness between me and thee this day. Therefore was the name of it called 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 ,
49And Mizpah; for he said, The LORD watch between me and thee, when we are absent one from another.
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。
50If thou shalt afflict my daughters, or if thou shalt take other wives beside my daughters, no man is with us; see, God is witness betwixt me and thee.
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。」
51And Laban said to Jacob, Behold this heap, and behold this pillar, which I have cast betwixt me and thee;
51拉班 又說:「你看我在你我中間所立的這石堆和柱子。
52This heap be witness, and this 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.
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。
53The God of Abraham, and the God of Nahor, the God of their father, judge betwixt us. And Jacob sware by the fear of his father Isaac.
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,
54Then Jacob offered sacrifice upon the mount, and called his brethren to eat bread: and they did eat bread, and tarried all night in the mount.
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。
55And 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.
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。
