TDX
Jinanji’e ty enta’ o ana-dahi’ i Labaneo, nanao ty hoe, Finao’ Iakòbe ze fonga fanañan-drae’ay; le ty varan-drae’ay ty nampañefoefo aze.
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
TDX
Ie niisa’ Iakòbe ty vinta’ i Labàne le naheo’e te tsy niatrefa’e manahake te taolo.
BSB
BSB:
And Jacob saw from the countenance of Laban that his attitude toward him had changed.
3
TDX
Aa le hoe t’Iehovà am’ Iakòbe, Mibaliha mb’an-tanen-droae’o mb’aman-drolongo’o mb’eo fa indrezako.
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.”
4
TDX
Aa le nampihitrife’e an-koike t’i Rahkele naho i Leae t’ie homb’ am-piandrazañe mb’am-pirai-lia’e mb’eo.
BSB
BSB:
So Jacob sent word and called Rachel and Leah to the field where his flocks were,
5
TDX
Le nanoa’e ty hoe, Treako ty vintan-drae’areo te tsy iatrefa’e manahake taolo, fe mañimb’ ahy t’i Andrianañaharen-draeko.
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
TDX
Fohi’areo t’ie nitoroñ’ an-drae’areo an-kaozarako iaby,
BSB
BSB:
You know that I have served your father with all my strength.
7
TDX
fe nifañahian-drae’areo naho novae’e im-polo o tambekoo, f’ie tsy nimetean’ Añahare hijoy ahy.
BSB
BSB:
And although he has cheated me and changed my wages ten times, God has not allowed him to harm me.
8
TDX
Ie nanao ty hoe: O varevareo ro tambe’o, le songa niterake varevare o hare’eo, aa ie nanao ty hoe, O tanteharañeo ro tambe’o. Le hene nampipoke tanteharañe o hareo.
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
TDX
Aa le sininton’ Añahare aman-drae’areo o hare’eo vaho natolo’e ahy.
BSB
BSB:
Thus God has taken away your father’s livestock and given them to me.
10
TDX
Teo te indraik’ amy sam-pisaheañey le nañinofy Iraho naho niandra vaho nahatrea te hene tanteharañe ndra varevare ndra poake o oselahy nitongoa amo mpirai-liao.
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
TDX
Le hoe t’i anjelin’ Añahare amako ama’ nofy, O Iakòbe, vaho natoiko ty hoe, Intoy iraho.
BSB
BSB:
In that dream the angel of God said to me, ‘Jacob!’ And I replied, ‘Here I am.’
12
TDX
Le hoe re, Ampiandrao fihaino vaho mahaoniña te songa tanteharañe ndra varevare ndra poake ty oselahy misahe o hareo, amy te nitreako iaby ze nanoe’ i Labàne ama’o.
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
TDX
Izaho i Andrianañahare’ i Beteley, i nañoriza’o i vatolahiy naho nifanta’oy. Miongaha arè, engao ty toetse toy vaho mimpolia mb’an-tanen-dongo’o añe.
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.’”
14
TDX
Aa le hoe ty natoi’ i Rahkele naho i Leae, Mbe aman’ anjara ndra lova añ’anjomban-drae’ay hao zahay?
BSB
BSB:
And Rachel and Leah replied, “Do we have any portion or inheritance left in our father’s house?
15
TDX
Tsy mone atao’e te ambahiny kanao naleta’e? mbore nabotse’e iaby o lafitihi’aio.
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
TDX
Toe anay naho a o keleia’aio ze fonga hanaña’e nasintan’ Añahare aman-drae’ay; aa le ano ze tsinaran’ Añahare ama’o.
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.”
17
TDX
Niongak’ amy zao t’Iakòbe naho nampiningire’e an-drameva o vali’eo naho o ana’eo,
BSB
BSB:
Then Jacob got up and put his children and his wives on camels,
18
TDX
vaho niroahe’e mb’eo ze hene hare’e naho o vara fa natonto’eo, o hanaña’e naho hare niazo’e e Padan’ arameo, vaho nitehafe’e mb’aman-drae’e Ietsake an-tane Kanàne añe.
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
TDX
Aa ie fa nimb’am-pañitsifan’ añondri’e mb’eo t’i Labàne, le kinizo’ i Rahkele o ndraharen’ anjomba an-drae’eo.
BSB
BSB:
Now while Laban was out shearing his sheep, Rachel stole her father’s household idols.
20
TDX
Toe nifañahie’ Iakòbe t’i Labàne t’ie tsy nitalily ama’e te nienga,
BSB
BSB:
Moreover, Jacob deceived Laban the Aramean by not telling him that he was running away.
21
TDX
ie nimotiotse mb’eo naho ze ama’e iaby. Niongake re nitsake i sakay, le nitandrifie’e mb’am-bohibohi’ i Gilade mb’eo ty lahara’e.
BSB
BSB:
So he fled with all his possessions, crossed the Euphrates, and headed for the hill country of Gilead.
22
TDX
Natalily amy Labàne amy andro fahateloy te nibioñe t’Iakòbe.
BSB
BSB:
On the third day Laban was informed that Jacob had fled.
23
TDX
Aa le nendese’e o longo’eo naho nihoridañe’e fito andro vaho nahatratse aze am-bohibohi’ i Gilade eo.
BSB
BSB:
So he took his relatives with him, pursued Jacob for seven days, and overtook him in the hill country of Gilead.
24
TDX
Le niheo amy Labàne nte-Arame ami’ty nofy t’i Andrianañahare nanao ama’e ty hoe, Mitomira, tsy hisaontsy am’ Iakòbe ndra ty soa ndra ty raty.
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
TDX
Aa le nitra’ i Labàne t’Iakòbe. Fa nañoren-kibohotse am-bohitse ey t’Iakòbe, le nitobe am-bohibohi’ i Gilade ao t’i Labàne mirolongo.
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.
26
TDX
Hoe t’i Labàne am’ Iakòbe, Ino o nanoe’oo? Ie niponiora’o am-pamañahiañe vaho namaoke o anak’ ampelakoo hoe mpirohy nitsepahem-pibara.
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
TDX
Ino ty nibioña’o am-pañahy naho nivokake amako tsy nitalily, ie ho nampionjoneko an-drebeke naho sabo vaho kantsàñe miharo kararàke.
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
TDX
Tsy nimea’o ty hañondrohako o ana-dahiko naho anak’ ampelakoo? Toe nanao hagegean-drehe te nanoa’o.
BSB
BSB:
But you did not even let me kiss my grandchildren and my daughters goodbye. Now you have done a foolish thing.
29
TDX
An-tañako ty haozarañe hañoho-doza ama’ areo fe nitsara amako ami’ty nofy aniankale t’i Andrianañaharen-drae’o, ty hoe, Mitomira tsy hivolañe ndra soa ndra raty am’ Iakòbe.
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
TDX
Ie amy zao, ndra te tsy nete tsy nionjom-b’eo irehe ami’ty hamaniña’o ty anjomban-drae’o, manao akore te nikamere’o o ndraharekoo?
BSB
BSB:
Now you have gone off because you long for your father’s house. But why have you stolen my gods?”
31
TDX
Le hoe ty natoi’ Iakobe amy Labane, Toe nihemban-draho, nataoko ho nitavane’o amako o anak’ ampela’oo.
BSB
BSB:
“I was afraid,” Jacob answered, “for I thought you would take your daughters from me by force.
32
TDX
Fe tsy ho veloñe ze isa’o mitañe o ndrahare’oo. Itsikaraho añatrefa’ o longon-tikañeo le endeso ze fanaña’o amako. Toe tsy nifohi’ Iakòbe t’ie kinizo’ i Rahkele.
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
TDX
Aa le nimoake an-kiboho’ Iakòbe ao t’i Labàne, naho an-kiboho’ i Leae, vaho an-kiboho’ i mpitoro-ampela roe rey fe tsy nahaisake. Niakatse an-kiboho’ i Leae naho nizilik’ an-kiboho’ i Rahkele.
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
TDX
Ie amy zao fa rinambe’ i Rahkele o ndrahareo naho napo’e ambanen-pitobohañe an-drameva ao vaho nitoboha’e. Nitsitsife’ i Labàne kodaba i kibohotsey fe tsy nahaoniñe.
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
TDX
Le hoe re aman-drae’e, Ehe tsy ho viñera’ ty talèko te tsy imeteako ongake añatrefa’o, fa miampela. Aa le nikodebe re fe tsy nitendreke o samposampon-drahao.
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
TDX
Niviñetse amy zao t’Iakòbe le nendaha’e t’i Labàne; hoe t’Iakòbe amy Labàne. Ino o fiolàko? Ino o hakeoko nañoridaña’o ahy an-kelokeo?
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
TDX
Aa ndra te nitsitsife’o tsoeke o haraokoo, ino amo haraon’ anjomba’oo ty niisa’o? Apoho añatrefa’ o longokoo naho o longo’oo etoañe, hizaka’ iareo añivon-tika roe.
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
TDX
Fa roapolo taoñe henanekeo ty nitraofako ama’o, le lia’e tsy nañary anake o añondri-vave’o naho o ose-vave’oo vaho tsy nihinanako o añondri-lahin-dia-rai’oo.
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
TDX
Tsy nendeseko ama’o ze nirimitem-biby fa nivavèko i hamotsoañey; pinai’o an-tañako ndra ty kinametse antoandro ndra ty kinizo haleñe.
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
TDX
Ie nabotse’ ty fipisañañe te handro, nangoratsake te haleñe vaho nibiòña’ ty roro o masokoo.
BSB
BSB:
As it was, the heat consumed me by day and the frost by night, and sleep fled from my eyes.
41
TDX
Inay i roapolo taoñe naha-mpiàmañ’ anjomba’o ahy rezay; nitoroñe azo folo-tao-efats’ amby hahazoako i anak’ ampela’o roe rey, vaho enen-taoñe o hare’oo, mbore novae’o im-polo i tambekoy.
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
TDX
Aa naho tsy nimpiamako t’i Andrianañaharen-draeko, t’i Andrianañahare’ i Avrahame, naho i nampañeveñe Ietsàkey le toe ho nampolie’o mañomaño. Nahavazoho o hasotriakoo naho o fitoloñan-tañakoo t’i Andrianañahare vaho nañendak’ azo aniankale.
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
TDX
Aa le hoe ty natoi’ i Labàne am’ Iakòbe: Anak’ ampelako o anak’ ampelao, anadahiko o anadahio, hàreko o hareo vaho hene ahiko naho a i anakampelako rey ze isa’o. Fe ino ty hanoeko anito amo anak’ampelakoo, naho amo ana-dahy nisamahe’eo?
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
TDX
Mbetoa arè hifañina, izaho naho ihe; le ie ty ho valolombeloñe añivon-tikañe.
BSB
BSB:
Come now, let us make a covenant, you and I, and let it serve as a witness between you and me.”
45
TDX
Aa le nandrambe vato t’Iakòbe vaho natroa’e ho ajiba.
BSB
BSB:
So Jacob picked out a stone and set it up as a pillar,
46
TDX
Le hoe t’Iakòbe aman-drolongo’e, Amorio vato, le nandrambe vato iereo naho navotre, vaho nikama amy votrem-batoy.
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
TDX
Nanoe’ i Labàne ty hoe Iegare-Sahadotà, f’ie natao Iakòbe Galede.
BSB
BSB:
Laban called it Jegar-sahadutha, and Jacob called it Galeed.
48
TDX
Hoe t’i Labàne, Valolombeloñe añivoko naho ihe androany ty votre toy. Aa le natao Galede ty añara’e,
BSB
BSB:
Then Laban declared, “This mound is a witness between you and me this day.” Therefore the place was called Galeed.
49
TDX
naho Mizpa, fa hoe re, Hivazoho añivo’o naho izaho t’Iehovà naho tsy amy ila’ey ty raike.
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
TDX
Naho sarerahe’o o anak’ ampelakoo, ndra mañenga valy mandikoatse o anakoo, itika tsy amam-pañalañalañe, tiahio te valolombeloñe añivon-tika t’i Andrianañahare.
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
TDX
Le hoe t’i Labàne am’Iakòbe, Hehe ty votre tia naho ty ajiba najadoko añivo’o naho izaho.
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
TDX
Valolombeloñe ty votre tia, naho valolombeloñe ty ajiba toy te tsy handilarako mb’ ama’o mb’eo, vaho tsy ho lika’o ty votre toy ndra ty ajiba toy homb’amako, hañeloke.
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
TDX
T’i Andrianañahare’ i Avrahame, naho t’i Andrianañahare’ i Nakore, t’i Andrianañaharen-droae’ iareo ty hizaka añivon-tika. Aa le nifanta amy Fañeveñan-drae’e Ietsàke t’Iakòbe,
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
TDX
le nañenga soroñe ambohitse eo t’Iakòbe naho kinoi’e o longo’eo hikama, le nikama vaho nialeñe amy vohitsey.
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.
55
TDX
Nañaleñaleñe t’i Labàne t’ie nitroatse naho norofa’e o ana’eo naho o anak’ampela’eo vaho nitata’e. Niavotse amy zao t’i Labane nimpoly mb’ama’e añe.
BSB
BSB:
Early the next morning, Laban got up and kissed his grandchildren and daughters and blessed them. Then he left to return home.
