Yakôbo ayumva oku bene Labani bakazâg’iderha, mpu: «Yakôbo ayansire ebintu byàli bya larha byoshi, bya larha ebi ajiziremwo obwâge bugale».
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
SHR
Yakôbo abonera ebusù bwa Labani oku arhacidwirhi amulola nk’oku amulolaga burhanzi.

BSB:
And Jacob saw from the countenance of Laban that his attitude toward him had changed.

Then the LORD said to Jacob, “Go back to the land of your fathers and to your kindred, and I will be with you.”

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
SHR
Mwêne mumanyire oku nakolîre sho n’emisî yâni yoshi.
BSB
BSB:
You know that I have served your father with all my strength.
7
SHR
“Ci kwône, anînaguza omu kuhindula kali ikumi oluhembo lwâni, ci kwône Nyamuzinda arhamuzigiraga.”»
BSB
BSB:
And although he has cheated me and changed my wages ten times, God has not allowed him to harm me.
8
SHR
«Ngasi mango erhi ankadesire, erhi: Ngasi biri bya butonè-butonè byo byabâ luhembo lwâwe, ebintu byoshi binaburhe eby’obutonè; na kandi erhi ankadesire, erhi: “Ngasi bya musengo byo byabà luhembo lwâwe, ebintu byoshi binaburhe ebyâna by’omusengu.”»
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.
10
SHR
Nyamuzinda arhôzire ebintu bya sho abimpa. Omu mango ebibuzi biyima, nayinamula amasù, nabona omu bilôrho oku engandabuzi zihambasire ebibuzi ziri za musengo erhi za butonè-butonè.
BSB
BSB:
When the flocks were breeding, I saw in a dream that the streaked, spotted, and speckled males were mating with the females.
11

«Malahika wa Nyamuzinda ambwîra omu bilôrho, erhi: “Yakôbo”, nâni nashuza nti: “Ho ndi hano!”»

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
SHR
Nie Nyamuzinda w’aha Beteli, halya washîgaga ibuye amavurha, wampêraho omulagi. Bunôla oyimukage orhenge mwa cino cihugo oshubire omu cihugo oburhwa».
BSB
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.’”

Rasheli bo na Lea bashuza, mpu: «Ka hali mwanya gwîrhu, ka hali kashambala kîrhu omu nyumpa ya larha?»
BSB
BSB:
And Rachel and Leah replied, “Do we have any portion or inheritance left in our father’s house?
15
SHR
Mpu ka arhakola arhulola nka b’emwabêne, ebwa kubà arhuguzize analya n’enfaranga zîrhu?
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.

SHR
Nêci, ngasi bugale Nyamuzinda ayansire larha buli bwîrhu rhwe n’abâna bîrhu. «Ojirage oku Nyakasane akurhegesire».

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:
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.

Labani ali ajir’imôma ebibuzi byâge, Rasheli agend’izimba enshanga z’ahakâ, zàli z’îshe.

BSB:
Now while Laban was out shearing his sheep, Rachel stole her father’s household idols.
20
SHR
Yakôbo arheba Labani, Muharameya, amuyongoloka, arhamumanyisagya oku akola ayâka.
BSB
BSB:
Moreover, Jacob deceived Laban the Aramean by not telling him that he was running away.
21

Ayanka n’ebi ali agwêrhe byoshi, agenda, ayikira olwîshi, ayêrekera ebwa ntondo ya Galadi.

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.

BSB:
So he took his relatives with him, pursued Jacob for seven days, and overtook him in the hill country of Gilead.
24
SHR
Nyamuzinda ayâganira Labani, Muharameya, omu bilôrho budufu, amubwîra, erhi: «Omanye wankabwîra Yakôbo akantu».

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
SHR
Labani, ashenga. Yakôbo erhi agwîsire ihêma lyâge omu ntondo, naye Labani agwîka eryâge oku ntondo ya Galadi.

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.
26
SHR
Labani anacibwîra Yakôbo, erhi: «Byo bici ebi wajizire?
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
SHR
Carhumaga ogenda bwifuhkwe, wanteba, wanyogoloka ahâli h’okundâliza, nkugalule omu busîme, rhuyimbe, rhurhimbe engoma rhuzihe n’ennanga?
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
SHR
Orhazizire nahôbera bagala bâni na bàli bâni. Kwo wakozire nka musirhe.
BSB
BSB:
But you did not even let me kiss my grandchildren and my daughters goodbye. Now you have done a foolish thing.
29
SHR
Nanahasha okukubabaza, ci kwône Nyamuzinda wa sho anandesize ene budufu ambwîra, erhi: “Omanye wankabwîra Yakôbo akantu”.
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
SHR
Nyumvirhage oku wagenzire erhi kudula enyumpa ya sho kurhuma! Ci kwône cici carhumire wazimba enshanga zâni?».
BSB
BSB:
Now you have gone off because you long for your father’s house. But why have you stolen my gods?”
31
SHR
Yakôbo ashuza Labani, erhi: «Nali nyôbohire, namanya nti wanyaga bâli bâwe.
BSB
BSB:
“I was afraid,” Jacob answered, “for I thought you would take your daughters from me by force.
32
SHR
Ci oyu wankashimanakwo ezo nshanga zâwe arhalame: omu masù ga bene wîrhu, lonza ngasi biri hyâwe omu byâni, wanahirhôla». Yakôbo arhâli amanyire oku Rasheli ye wazizimbire.
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
SHR
Labani aj’ifûkula omu cirâlo ca Yakôbo, afûkula omu cirâlo ca Lea, afûkula n’omu cirâlo ca balya bajà-kazi oku banali babirhi, arhabonaga cici. Arhenga omu cirâlo ca Lea ajà omu ca Rasheli.
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

Rasheli ali arhôzire enshanga z’ahakà, azifulika omu ngurha batamalakwo oku ngamiya, anazitamalakwo. Labani afûkula ecirâlo coshi arhabonaga cici.
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.

Rasheli abwîra Îshe, erhi: «Waliha, nnawîrhu amanye akanganya mpu ntahashir’iyimanga embere zâge, ndi omu mugongo». Labani afûkula, ci arhabonaga enshanga zâge.
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
SHR
Lêro Yakôbo anacibâ burhè, akalihira Labani. Yakôbo abwîra Labani ntya: «Bici ntumwire, kubî kuci najizire obu wanshimbulula ntya?
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
SHR
Wamafûkula omu bikunga byâni byoshi, ka hali kantu obwîne k’omu birugu by’omu nyumpa yâwe? Kayerekanage embere z’abà bene wîrhu n’abà bene winyu, babè bo bahamîrizi ekarhî kîrhu oku rhuli babirhi!
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
SHR
Lolà, nashinzire myâka makumi abirhi emwâwe, ebibuzi byâwe n’empene zâwe birhalimwo ecamomire, ntanalyaga ciru n’engandabuzi nguma y’omu busô bwâwe.
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
SHR
Ebintu byakazâg’ilibwa n’ensimba ntakulerheraga byo, nakàba nie mpeza omu byâni. Wakazâg’indyuza eci bazimbire mûshi erhi eci nazimbirwe budufu.
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
SHR
Izûba lyakaz’inkomanga mûshi, n’emboho enywengerere budufu n’irô libalale oku masù gâni.
BSB
BSB:
As it was, the heat consumed me by day and the frost by night, and sleep fled from my eyes.
41
SHR
Lolà, myâka makumi abirhi eno, ndi aha mwâwe: nakukolire myâka ikumi n’ini, yo yali ngulo ya bâli bâwe bombi na myâka ndarhu oku bintu byâwe, wanahindula kali ikumi oluhembo lwâni.
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
SHR
Nka Nyamuzinda wa larha, Nyamuzinda w’Abrahamu, Îshe wa Izaki, arhali haguma nâni, wali wandeka maboko mûmu. Ci kwône Nyamuzinda abwîne amalibûko gâni n’omukolo gwâni, n’ene budufu, yêne atwa olubanja».
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
SHR
Labani ashuza Yakôbo, amubwîra, erhi: «Abà banyere bali bâli bâni, abà bâna, bali bâna bâni, ebi bintu, biri bintu byâni, ngasi ebi obwîne byoshi biri byâni. Bici obwîne nankajirira abà, bâli bâni n’abà bâna bàburhaga?
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
SHR
Rhujè aho, rhunywâne rhwembi, mw’okwo, bubè buhamîrizi ekarhî kâwe nâni».

BSB:
Come now, let us make a covenant, you and I, and let it serve as a witness between you and me.”

Yakôbo arhôla ibuye aligwika bunya luhêrero.
BSB
BSB:
So Jacob picked out a stone and set it up as a pillar,

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
SHR
Labani ayîrika erya nsinga izîno lya Yegari Shaduta, naye Yakôbo ayiyîrika erya Galedi.

BSB:
Laban called it Jegar-sahadutha, and Jacob called it Galeed.

SHR
Labani ederha, erhi: «Eyi nsinga ye muhamîrizi ekarhî kîrhu rhwembi». Co carhumire ayiyîrika izîno lya Galedi,
BSB
BSB:
Then Laban declared, “This mound is a witness between you and me this day.” Therefore the place was called Galeed.
49
SHR
n’erya Misipa kulya kubà amederha, erhi: «Nyamuzinda arhulange rhwembi, amango rhwanabè rhurhacibonana.
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
SHR
Erhi wankalibuza bâli bâni, nîsi erhi wankayanka abandi bakazi, ohalika bâli bâni, omanye oku ntà muntu warhuj’ekâgarhî: Nyamuzinda ye wâbà câliho wîrhu rhwembi».

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.”

Labani ashub’ibwîra Yakôbo, erhi: «Lolà eyi nsinga n’eri ibuye nagwikaga ekarhî kîrhu rhwembi.
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
SHR
Eyi nsinga ali câliho n’olu luhêrero nalwo câliho oku niono ncîgashire okutwa eyîra nsinga, mpu ntà mango wanâtwe eyîra nsinga n’olu luhêrero mpu ojè emunda ndi n’emihigo migalugalu.

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.

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.
