ZAJP
Yakobo kawahulika walamu zake wana wa Labani wolonga, “Yakobo kasola vinhu vose vikalile va tataetu. Ugoli wake wose ulawa m'vinhu vayakalile navo tataetu.”
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
ZAJP
Yakobo kavitanga kamba Labani hanogelwe na heyo kamba viikalile haichanduso.
BSB
BSB:
And Jacob saw from the countenance of Laban that his attitude toward him had changed.
3
ZAJP
Abaho MNDEWA kamulongela Yakobo, “Bwela muisi ya wahenga zako na ndugu zako, nie nowa hamoja na gweye.”
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
ZAJP
Avo Yakobo katuma usenga kuwakema Laheli na Lea, weze kumgunda kuyakalile yochunga ng'hondolo zake.
BSB
BSB:
So Jacob sent word and called Rachel and Leah to the field where his flocks were,
5
ZAJP
Yakobo kawalongela, “Nokona kamba tataenu hanogelwa na nie kamba viikalile haichanduso, ila Mulungu wa tataangu ka hamoja na nie.
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
ZAJP
Movitanga kamba nimsang'hanikila tataenu na mhiko zangu zose.
BSB
BSB:
You know that I have served your father with all my strength.
7
ZAJP
Hata avo tataenu kanitendela uzenzeleganye mkugalula kitumetume changu mianza bwando. Ila Mulungu hamulekile yanhendele nie kinhu kihile.
BSB
BSB:
And although he has cheated me and changed my wages ten times, God has not allowed him to harm me.
8
ZAJP
Labani viyalongile, ‘Ng'hondolo wondawaleligwe wali na minyela wowa kitumetume chako,’ wose wasonga kulela wana wali na minyela. Na viyagalule na kulonga, ‘Wang'onyo wali na minhongo wowa kitumetume chako,’ ng'hondolo wose walela wana wali na minhongo.
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
ZAJP
Vino vivo Mulungu viyasolile wang'onyo wa tataenu na kunigwelela nie.
BSB
BSB:
Thus God has taken away your father’s livestock and given them to me.
10
ZAJP
“Kipigiti cha wang'onyo kuikwela, nilota nyona songolomi wa menhe wakalile wokwela wose wakala na minhongo, minyela, na midewa.
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
ZAJP
Msenga wa Mulungu wa kuulanga kanikema nie muinzozi yolonga, ‘Yakobo,’ na nie nidika, ‘Nabaha.’
BSB
BSB:
In that dream the angel of God said to me, ‘Jacob!’ And I replied, ‘Here I am.’
12
ZAJP
Na heyo kanongela, ‘Lola songolomi wose wa menhe waja wokwela wana minhongo, minyela, na midewa. Nigatenda gano kwavija nyona vija Labani viyakutendele.
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
ZAJP
Nie iyo Mulungu nikulawilile kuja Beteli, hanhu haja haudigidile dibwe mavuta na haja haunitendele kiduilo. Avo segela hima muisi ino uchole muisi yako yuuleligwe.’ ”
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
ZAJP
Laheli na Lea wamulongela Yakobo, “Tweye twabule kinhu ama uhazi wowose kulawa ha tataetu.
BSB
BSB:
And Rachel and Leah replied, “Do we have any portion or inheritance left in our father’s house?
15
ZAJP
Avo katutenda tweye kamba wahenza. Katuguza na sambi kaja hela zose ziyatuguzile tweye.
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
ZAJP
Ugoli wose Mulungu uyam'bokile tataetu wetu tweye na wanetu. Avo sang'hana gaja Mulungu gondayakulongele.”
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
ZAJP
Avo Yakobo kawakweleza watwanzi zake na wanage muna iwangamia,
BSB
BSB:
Then Jacob got up and put his children and his wives on camels,
18
ZAJP
na kugaswagiza madale gake gose galongole haulongozi wake hamoja na vinhu vose viyapatile Padani-Alamu na kuchola ha tataake Isaka muisi ya Kanaani.
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
ZAJP
Kipigiti hicho Labani kakala yacholile kuwakanha mijusu ng'hondolo zake, avija viyakalile haduhu Laheli kapata nafasi ya kwiba vinyago avo vikalile miungu ya tataake.
BSB
BSB:
Now while Laban was out shearing his sheep, Rachel stole her father’s household idols.
20
ZAJP
Yakobo kam'vwizila Labani na hamulongele kamba kohalawa.
BSB
BSB:
Moreover, Jacob deceived Laban the Aramean by not telling him that he was running away.
21
ZAJP
Yakobo kasola vinhu vake vose na kusegela hima. Kaloka Lwanda lwa Yuflati, kagalukila kuili isi ya Gileadi ili na vigongovigongo.
BSB
BSB:
So he fled with all his possessions, crossed the Euphrates, and headed for the hill country of Gilead.
22
ZAJP
Mazua madatu vigabitile, Labani kalongeligwa kamba Yakobo kakimbila.
BSB
BSB:
On the third day Laban was informed that Jacob had fled.
23
ZAJP
Avo Labani kawasola ndugu zake, wasonga kumkweleleza Yakobo kipigiti cha mazua saba, na wam'vika muisi ya vigongovigongo ya Gileadi.
BSB
BSB:
So he took his relatives with him, pursued Jacob for seven days, and overtook him in the hill country of Gilead.
24
ZAJP
Avo Mulungu kamulawilila Labani ikilo mnzozi na kumulongela, “Uteganye, sambiumulonge Yakobo mbuli yoyose ihile.”
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
ZAJP
Yakobo keka ng'hambi muisi ya vigongovigongo ya Gileadi, vivija Labani na ndugu zake weka ng'hambi yao behi na heyo.
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
ZAJP
Abaho Labani kamulongela Yakobo, “Choni chuutendile? Kunivwizila na kusola wanangu kamba vija wagogigwe kung'hondo.
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
ZAJP
Habali usegele mkuifisa na kunivwizila? Habali hunongele giladi nikulage na ndeng'ha na nyila, na ngoma na bango?
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
ZAJP
Hata hunilekile niwanonela wanangu na wazukulu zangu na kuwalaga? Kweli kutenda ubozi.
BSB
BSB:
But you did not even let me kiss my grandchildren and my daughters goodbye. Now you have done a foolish thing.
29
ZAJP
Nodaha kukulumiza, ila Mulungu wa tataako kandawilila kilo ya lelo na kanongela, ‘Uteganye, sambiumulonge Yakobo mbuli yoyose ihile.’
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
ZAJP
Novitanga kamba kosulukila kubwela mng'anda ya tataako, ila habali wibile miungu yangu?”
BSB
BSB:
Now you have gone off because you long for your father’s house. But why have you stolen my gods?”
31
ZAJP
Yakobo kalonga, “Nidumba kwavija nigelegeza kamba uhanibokile wanago.
BSB
BSB:
“I was afraid,” Jacob answered, “for I thought you would take your daughters from me by force.
32
ZAJP
Ila kamba uham'vika munhu yoyose mmwanza wetu yali na miungu yako, nayadanganhike. Lolesa bahano haulongozi wa ndugu zetu, kamba nna kinhu chako chochose, kisole.” Yakobo havitangile kamba Laheli kakala yebile miungu ya Labani.
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
ZAJP
Avo Labani kengila mdihema da Yakobo na kasonga kuzahila, abaho mdihema da Lea, na mdihema da waja nyakadala wabili wakitwanzi, ila hayonile miungu yake. Abaho kengila mdihema da Laheli.
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
ZAJP
Laheli kaisola ija imiungu na kuifisa mdisogi da kugwasikila mumgongo wa ngamia wake na kuikalila. Labani kazahila kila hanhu mdihema ila hayonile.
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
ZAJP
Laheli kamulongela tataake, “Tataangu, sambiunyonele lusango avija vinihila kwinuka haulongozi wako, kwavija notumika.” Avo Labani kazahila ila hayonile miungu yake.
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
ZAJP
Yakobo kehilwa ng'hani na kumuuza Labani, “Halihi hanihonyele? Choni kihile kinitendile kikutendile gweye unikoleleze?”
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
ZAJP
Kusakula m'vinhu vangu vose. Kinhu chaki chako kiupatile? Vike hano haulongozi wa wandugu zako na wandugu zangu, giladi watulamule.
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
ZAJP
Nikala hamoja na gweye milao malongo mabili sambi. Kipigiti chose ng'hondolo zako na menhe zako hawanatengula inda, na sinakuja songolomi wa ng'hondolo kulawa mdale jako.
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
ZAJP
Sikugalile ng'hondolo wako yakomigwe na wang'onyo wa kumuhulo. Hasala zose nizisola nie. Gweye kulonda nikulihe wang'onyo wose webigwe imisi ama ikilo.
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
ZAJP
Kipigiti kitali nigaya, imisi nilukuzwa na zua, na ikilo nibunhigwa na beho. Sipatile utulo.
BSB
BSB:
As it was, the heat consumed me by day and the frost by night, and sleep fled from my eyes.
41
ZAJP
Milao malongo mabili nikala mng'anda yako, nikusang'hanikila milao longo dimwe na mine sama ya Laheli na Lea, na milao sita sama ya madale ga wang'onyo. Kugalula kitumetume changu mianza longo dimwe.
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
ZAJP
Kamba Mulungu wa muhenga zangu, Mulungu wa Ablaham na Isaka, yahalekile kuwa hamoja na nie, uhaniwingile bila kinhu. Ila Mulungu kayona migayo yangu na sang'hano initendile, kileka mana kakukomhokela ikilo ibitile.
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
ZAJP
Labani kamwidika Yakobo na kumulongela, “Watwanzi wano wanangu nie, na wana zao wangu nie, wang'onyo wano wangu nie, na vose vuuvona vangu nie. Avo choni kinidaha kuwatendela wanangu, ama wana zao wawalelile?
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
ZAJP
Avo tutende lagano gweye na nie, diwe usindila wetu.”
BSB
BSB:
Come now, let us make a covenant, you and I, and let it serve as a witness between you and me.”
45
ZAJP
Yakobo kasola dibwe, na kudisimika kamba nguzo giladi diwe lukumbuso.
BSB
BSB:
So Jacob picked out a stone and set it up as a pillar,
46
ZAJP
Abaho Yakobo kawalongela wandugu zake, “Lundizeni mibwe.” Avo wadondola mabwe na kugalundiza kamba kisugulu. Abaho wakala hasi hamgwazo wa kija ikisugulu, waja mandia.
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
ZAJP
Labani kahakema hanhu haja Yegali-Sahadusa, na Yakobo kahakema Galedi.
BSB
BSB:
Laban called it Jegar-sahadutha, and Jacob called it Galeed.
48
ZAJP
Avo Labani kamulongela Yakobo, “Kisugulu kino cha mibwe chowa usindila hagatigati yetu tweye.” Kino kicho kilamso cha hanhu haja kukemigwa Galedi.
BSB
BSB:
Then Laban declared, “This mound is a witness between you and me this day.” Therefore the place was called Galeed.
49
ZAJP
Labani vivija kahakema hanhu haja Mizpa, kwavija kalonga, “MNDEWA yatulole, giladi tudigoge lagano dino kipigiti gweye na nie tuhawa kutali na miage.
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
ZAJP
Kamba uhawagaza wanangu ama uhasola watwanzi wayagwe mbali na wanangu, hata kamba sivimanyile, ukumbukile kamba Mulungu kotulola.”
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
ZAJP
Abaho Labani kamulongela Yakobo, “Lola kisugulu kino cha mibwe, lola nguzo ino iniisimike hagatigati yako na yangu.
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
ZAJP
Kisugulu kino cha mibwe na nguzo ino zizo usindila, nie sikibanza kisugulu kino cha mibwe kwiza ng'ambu yako kukulumiza, na gweye sambiubanze kisugulu kino cha mibwe na nguzo ino wize ng'ambu yangu kunilumiza.
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
ZAJP
Mulungu wa Ablaham na mulungu wa Naholi wotulamula gweye na nie.” Avo Yakobo kaiduila mditwaga da Mulungu yakalile yotambikilwa na Isaka tataake kukigoga kilagano kija.
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
ZAJP
Abaho Yakobo kalava nhosa muisi ija ya vigongovigongo na kuwakema ndugu zake weze kuja mandia. Na viweshile kuja mandia wakala bahaja ikilo ngima.
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
ZAJP
Na imitondo ng'hani zua da ikabili Labani kawanonela wazukulu zake na wanage na kuwamoteza. Na abaho kabwela ukae yake.
BSB
BSB:
Early the next morning, Laban got up and kissed his grandchildren and daughters and blessed them. Then he left to return home.
