BSB
BSB:
Now 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
KOS
Jacob el akilenak pac lah Laban el tia sifilpa kulang oana meet ah.
BSB
BSB:
And Jacob saw from the countenance of Laban that his attitude toward him had changed.
3
KOS
Na LEUM GOD El fahk nu sel, “Folokla nu yen sin papa tomom ac nu yurin sou lom. Nga ac fah wi kom.”
BSB
BSB:
Then the LORD said to Jacob, “Go back to the land of your fathers and to your kindred, and I will be with you.”

So Jacob sent word and called Rachel and Leah to the field where his flocks were,
5

BSB
BSB:
and 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
KOS
Komtal kewa etu na lah nga orekma nu sin papa tomomtal ah ke kuiyuk nufon.
BSB
BSB:
You know that I have served your father with all my strength.

BSB
BSB:
And although he has cheated me and changed my wages ten times, God has not allowed him to harm me.

BSB
BSB:
If 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
KOS
God El eisla u in kosro liki papa tomomtal ac use nutik.”
BSB
BSB:
Thus God has taken away your father’s livestock and given them to me.
10
KOS
“Ke pacl in orek fahko lun un kosro uh nga tuh mwemei ac liye lah nani mukul ma orek fahko uh ma na kwarmok ac tuhntun.
BSB
BSB:
When the flocks were breeding, I saw in a dream that the streaked, spotted, and speckled males were mating with the females.

BSB:
In that dream the angel of God said to me, ‘Jacob!’ And I replied, ‘Here I am.’

BSB
BSB:
‘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

Nga pa God se su tuh sikwot nu sum in acn Bethel, yen se ma kom tuh ukuiya oil in olive nu fin eot se ac kisakin tuh in sie mwe esmakin, ac kom tuh orala sie wuleang nu sik we. Akola kom in folokla nu in facl se ma kom isusla we.’”

BSB:
I am the God of Bethel, where you anointed the pillar and made a solemn vow to Me. Now get up, leave this land at once, and return to your native land.’”

BSB
BSB:
And Rachel and Leah replied, “Do we have any portion or inheritance left in our father’s house?
15
KOS
El orekut oana mwetsac uh. El kukakinkutla, ac inge el sisla nufon mani ma moulyang nu sel kacsr ah.
BSB
BSB:
Are we not regarded by him as outsiders? Not only has he sold us, but he has certainly squandered what was paid for us.
16
KOS
Mwe kasrup nukewa ma God El eisla liki papa tumasr ah inge, ma lasr ac tulik natusr. Oru na ma God El fahk kom in oru an.”
BSB
BSB:
Surely 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.”

BSB
BSB:
and 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

BSB:
Now while Laban was out shearing his sheep, Rachel stole her father’s household idols.
20
KOS
Jacob el sulallal nu sel Laban ac tia akkalemye nu sel lah el ac som lukel.
BSB
BSB:
Moreover, Jacob deceived Laban the Aramean by not telling him that he was running away.
21
KOS
El us ma nukewa lal ac sulaklak na mukuiyak som. El tupalla Infacl Euphrates ac tulanya infulan eol in acn Gilead.

So he fled with all his possessions, crossed the Euphrates, and headed for the hill country of Gilead.

On the third day Laban was informed that Jacob had fled.
23

Laban el us mwet lal welul ac ukwal Jacob ke len itkosr, nwe ke el sonol infulan eol in Gilead.
BSB
BSB:
So he took his relatives with him, pursued Jacob for seven days, and overtook him in the hill country of Gilead.
24
KOS
God El sikyang nu sel Laban in sie mweme ke fong sac ac fahk nu sel, “Taran na kom in tia fahk kutena kas in aksangeng nu sel Jacob.”
BSB
BSB:
But 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

Laban el ukwal Jacob nwe sonol infulan eol in Gilead, yen Jacob el aktuktuk we. Laban ac mwet lal elos oayapa aktuktuk we.
BSB
BSB:
Now Jacob had pitched his tent in the hill country of Gilead when Laban overtook him, and Laban and his relatives camped there as well.

KOS
Laban el fahk nu sel Jacob, “Efu ku kom sulallal nu sik ac usla acn nutik ingan in oana luman mutan ma sruhu ke mweun?
BSB
BSB:
Then Laban said to Jacob, “What have you done? You have deceived me and carried off my daughters like captives of war!
27
KOS
Efu kom ku kutasrik nu sik ac mahsrikme na tia fahk? Kom funu fahk, nga lukun filikomla ke engan lulap, ac on alullul wi pusren mwe srital ac harp.
BSB
BSB:
Why 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
KOS
Kom tia pacna lela nga in wilkas nu sin acn nutik, ku ngokya mutun tulik natultal inge. Ouiya na koluk se pa kom oru ingan!
BSB
BSB:
But you did not even let me kiss my grandchildren and my daughters goodbye. Now you have done a foolish thing.
29
KOS
Oasr ku luk in kai kom, tusruktu God lun papa tomom El kaskas nu sik fong, ac fahk mu ngan taran na nga in tia fahk kutena kas in aksangeng nu sum.
BSB
BSB:
I 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
KOS
Nga etu lah kom tuyak tuku mweyen kom kena tari folok nu yen sum, a efu kom ku usla ma sruloala srisrik ma oan in lohm sik ah?”
BSB
BSB:
Now you have gone off because you long for your father’s house. But why have you stolen my gods?”
31
KOS
Jacob el topuk, “Nga tuh sangeng, mweyen nga nunku mu kom ac eisla acn nutum inge likiyu.
BSB
BSB:
“I was afraid,” Jacob answered, “for I thought you would take your daughters from me by force.
32
KOS
Tusruktu kom fin konauk lah god lom an oasr sin siena sin mwet inge, mwet sacn ac fah anwuki. Inge, ye mutun mwet lasr kewa, fahsru suk. Fin oasr kutena ma lom kom konauk yorosr, kom us.” Jacob el tiana etu lah Rachel el pisrala god lal Laban.
BSB
BSB:
If 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
KOS
Laban el som ac iluhs lohm nuknuk sel Jacob. Toko el som nu in lohm nuknuk sel Leah, ac lohm nuknuk sin mutan kulansap luo, tusruktu el tiana konauk god lal ah. Na el som nu in lohm nuknuk sel Rachel.
BSB
BSB:
So 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
KOS
Rachel pa srukak ma sruloala ma oan in lohm nuknuk sel Laban, ac sang nu luin pak se ma ac oan fin camel uh, ac muta fac. Laban el iluhs lohm nuknuk sac nufon, tusruk el tiana konauk ma sruloala uh.
BSB
BSB:
Now 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
KOS
Rachel el fahk nu sin papa tumal, “Nimet kom kasrkusrak sik, papa. Nga tia ku in tuyak, mweyen ingena nga mas mutan.” Laban el sukna ma sruloala lal ah tuh el tiana konauk.
BSB
BSB:
Rachel 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
KOS
Na Jacob el kasrkusrakak ac siyuk sel Laban, “Mea nga oru koluk? Ma sap su nga kunausla ku kom ukweyume nwe inse?
BSB
BSB:
Then Jacob became incensed and challenged Laban. “What is my crime?” he said. “For what sin of mine have you so hotly pursued me?
37
KOS
Inge ke kom iluhsya ma luk nukewa uh, mea kom konauk mu ma lom oasr yorosr? Srakma filiya inse inge, mwet lasr uh kewa in tukeni ngetani liye, ac fahk lah su pwaye se.
BSB
BSB:
You 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
KOS
Nga muta yurum yac longoulla inge, ac sheep nutum ac nani nutum uh tia tui in isus fahko, ac nga tiana kangla sokofanna sheep mukul ke u in kosro nutum uh.
BSB
BSB:
I 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
KOS
Pacl nukewa ma kosro lemnak uh uniya soko inmasrlon sheep nutum uh, nga tia us tuku nu ye motom kom in liye, a nga sifacna aolla ke sheep nutik. Kom sap ngan akfalye kutena ma su pusrla ke len ku ke fong.
BSB
BSB:
I 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
KOS
Pacl puspis nga keok ke fulen len ac ohu in fong. Nga tia ku in motul.
BSB
BSB:
As it was, the heat consumed me by day and the frost by night, and sleep fled from my eyes.
41
KOS
Pwana ingan ma nga pulakin ke lusen yac longoul nga muta yurum. Nga orekma yac singoul akosr in eis acn luo nutum, ac yac onkosr nu ke un kosro nutik inge. Ne ouinge, a kom ikil molin orekma luk pacl singoul.
BSB
BSB:
Thus 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
KOS
God lal Abraham ac God lal Isaac, papa tumuk, funu tia wiyu, kom lukun supweyula pisinpo. Tusruktu God El liyena elya luk ac orekma ma nga orala, ac El kai kom kac fong.”
BSB
BSB:
If 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
KOS
Laban el topkol Jacob ac fahk, “Mutan luo inge ma nutik. Ma pac nutik pa tulik natultal inge, ac un kosro inge ma pac nutik. Ma nukewa kom liye inge ma luk. Tusruktu ke wangin ma nga ku in oru in folokonma acn luo nutik ac tulik natultal inge,
BSB
BSB:
But 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
KOS
nga akola in oru sie wuleang inmasrlok kom. Lela kut in orala sie ma in akesmakinye kut ke wuleang se inge.
BSB
BSB:
Come now, let us make a covenant, you and I, and let it serve as a witness between you and me.”
45
KOS
Ouinge Jacob el eis eot lulap se ac tulokunak tuh in sie mwe esmakin.
BSB
BSB:
So Jacob picked out a stone and set it up as a pillar,
46
KOS
El fahk nu sin mwet lal in orani kutu eot ac elosak. Na elos mongoi sisken yol in eot sac.
BSB
BSB:
and he said to his relatives, “Gather some stones.” So they took stones and made a mound, and there by the mound they ate.
47
KOS
Laban el sang inen yol in eot se inge Jegar Sahadutha, a Jacob el pangon Galeed.
BSB
BSB:
Laban called it Jegar-sahadutha, and Jacob called it Galeed.
48
KOS
Laban el fahk nu sel Jacob, “Yol in eot se inge ac fah mwe akesmakinye kut kewa.” Pa pwanang inen acn sac pangpang Galeed.
BSB
BSB:
Then Laban declared, “This mound is a witness between you and me this day.” Therefore the place was called Galeed.
49
KOS
Laban el oayapa fahk, “Lela LEUM GOD Elan tawikuti ke kut fahsrelik sie sin sie.” Ke ma inge itukyang pac inen acn sac Mizpah.
BSB
BSB:
It was also called Mizpah, because Laban said, “May the LORD keep watch between you and me when we are absent from each other.
50
KOS
Laban el sifilpa fahk, “Kom fin oru koluk acn nutik inge, ku payuk pac sin mutan saya, nga finne tia liye, kom esam lah God El tawikuti na.
BSB
BSB:
If 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
KOS
Pa inge eot ma nga elosak ac eot lulap se mwe esmakin inmasrlok kom.
BSB
BSB:
Laban also said to Jacob, “Here is the mound, and here is the pillar I have set up between you and me.
52
KOS
Yol se inge ac eot in esmakin se inge kewa ma in akesmakinye kut. Nga fah tia aliki yol se inge in mweuni kom ac kom fah tia pac alukela ku aliki eot in esmakin se inge in mweuniyu.
BSB
BSB:
This 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
KOS
God lal Abraham ac God lal Nahor fah aksuwosye inmasrlosr.” Na Jacob el wulela na ku Inen God su Isaac, papa tumal, el alu nu se, lah el fah liyaung na wuleang se inge.
BSB
BSB:
May 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

El uniya kosro soko, ac sang in mwe kisa fin eol uh, ac el pangoneni mwet lal elos in mongo. Tukun elos mongo tari, elos mongla fin eol uh ke fong sac.
BSB
BSB:
Then 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.
