創世記 31

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 。」

yǎ gè tīng jiàn lā bān de ér zi men yǒu huà shuō ：「 yǎ gè bǎ wǒ men fù qīn suǒ yǒu de dōu duó le qù ， bìng jiè zhe wǒ men fù qīn de ， dé le zhè yí qiè de róng yào 。」

Jacob heard Laban’s sons’ words, saying, “Jacob has taken away all that was our father’s. He has obtained all this wealth from that which was our father’s.”

雅各見拉班的氣色向他不如從前了。

yǎ gè jiàn lā bān de qì sè xiàng tā bù rú cóng qián le 。

Jacob saw the expression on Laban’s face, and, behold, it was not toward him as before.

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。」

yē hé huá duì yǎ gè shuō ：「 nǐ yào huí nǐ zǔ 、 nǐ fù zhī dì ， dào nǐ qīn zú nà lǐ qù ， wǒ bì yǔ nǐ tóng zài 。」

The LORD said to Jacob, “Return to the land of your fathers, and to your relatives, and I will be with you.”

雅各就打發人，叫拉結和利亞到田野羊群那裏來，

yǎ gè jiù dǎ fā rén ， jiào lā jié hé lì yà dào tián yě yáng qún nà lǐ lái ，

Jacob sent and called Rachel and Leah to the field to his flock,

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。

duì tā men shuō ：「 wǒ kàn nǐ men fù qīn de qì sè xiàng wǒ bù rú cóng qián le ； dàn wǒ fù qīn de shén xiàng lái yǔ wǒ tóng zài 。

and said to them, “I see the expression on your father’s face, that it is not toward me as before; but the God of my father has been with me.

你們也知道，我盡了我的力量服事你們的父親。

nǐ men yě zhī dào ， wǒ jìn le wǒ de lì liàng fú shì nǐ men de fù qīn 。

You know that I have served your father with all of my strength.

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。

nǐ men de fù qīn qī hǒng wǒ ， shí cì gǎi le wǒ de gōng jià ； rán ér shén bù róng tā hài wǒ 。

Your father has deceived me, and changed my wages ten times, but God didn’t allow him to hurt me.

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。

tā ruò shuō ：『 yǒu diǎn de guī nǐ zuò gōng jià 』， yáng qún suǒ shēng de dōu yǒu diǎn ； tā ruò shuō ：『 yǒu wén de guī nǐ zuò gōng jià 』， yáng qún suǒ shēng de dōu yǒu wén 。

If he said, ‘The speckled will be your wages,’ then all the flock bore speckled. If he said, ‘The streaked will be your wages,’ then all the flock bore streaked.

這樣，上帝把你們父親的牲畜奪來賜給我了。

zhè yàng ， shén bǎ nǐ men fù qīn de shēng chù duó lái cì gěi wǒ le 。

Thus God has taken away your father’s livestock, and given them to me.

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。

yáng pèi hé de shí hòu ， wǒ mèng zhōng jǔ mù yí kàn ， jiàn tiào mǔ yáng de gōng yáng dōu shì yǒu wén de 、 yǒu diǎn de 、 yǒu huā bān de 。

During mating season, I lifted up my eyes, and saw in a dream, and behold, the male goats which leaped on the flock were streaked, speckled, and grizzled.

上帝的使者在那夢中呼叫我說：『雅各。』我說：『我在這裏。』

shén de shǐ zhě zài nà mèng zhōng hū jiào wǒ shuō ：『 yǎ gè 。』 wǒ shuō ：『 wǒ zài zhè lǐ 。』

The angel of God said to me in the dream, ‘Jacob,’ and I said, ‘Here I am.’

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。

tā shuō ：『 nǐ jǔ mù guān kàn ， tiào mǔ yáng de gōng yáng dōu shì yǒu wén de 、 yǒu diǎn de 、 yǒu huā bān de ； fán lā bān xiàng nǐ suǒ zuò de ， wǒ dōu kàn jiàn le 。

He said, ‘Now lift up your eyes, and behold, all the male goats which leap on the flock are streaked, speckled, and grizzled, for I have seen all that Laban does to you.

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！』」

wǒ shì bó tè lì de shén ； nǐ zài nà lǐ yòng yóu jiāo guò zhù zi ， xiàng wǒ xǔ guò yuàn 。 xiàn jīn nǐ qǐ lái ， lí kāi zhè dì ， huí nǐ běn dì qù ba ！』」

I am the God of Bethel, where you anointed a pillar, where you vowed a vow to me. Now arise, get out from this land, and return to the land of your birth.’”

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？

lā jié hé lì yà huí dá yǎ gè shuō ：「 zài wǒ men fù qīn de jiā lǐ hái yǒu wǒ men kě dé de fēn ma ？ hái yǒu wǒ men de chǎn yè ma ？

Rachel and Leah answered him, “Is there yet any portion or inheritance for us in our father’s house?

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。

wǒ men bú shì bèi tā dàng zuò wài rén ma ？ yīn wèi tā mài le wǒ men ， tūn le wǒ men de jià zhí 。

Aren’t we considered as foreigners by him? For he has sold us, and has also used up our money.

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！」

shén cóng wǒ men fù qīn suǒ duó chū lái de yí qiè cái wù ， nà jiù shì wǒ men hé wǒ men hái zi men de 。 xiàn jīn fán shén suǒ fēn fù nǐ de ， nǐ zhǐ guǎn qù xíng ba ！」

For all the riches which God has taken away from our father are ours and our children’s. Now then, whatever God has said to you, do.”

雅各起來，使他的兒子和妻子都騎上駱駝，

yǎ gè qǐ lái ， shǐ tā de ér zi hé qī zǐ dōu qí shàng luò tuó ，

Then Jacob rose up, and set his sons and his wives on the camels,

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。

yòu dài zhe tā zài bā dàn · yà lán suǒ dé de yí qiè shēng chù hé cái wù ， wǎng jiā nán dì 、 tā fù qīn yǐ sā nà lǐ qù le 。

and he took away all his livestock, and all his possessions which he had gathered, including the livestock which he had gained in Paddan Aram, to go to Isaac his father, to the land of Canaan.

當時拉班剪羊毛去了，拉結偷了他父親家中的神像。

dāng shí lā bān jiǎn yáng máo qù le ， lā jié tōu le tā fù qìng jia zhōng de shén xiàng 。

Now Laban had gone to shear his sheep; and Rachel stole the teraphim that were her father’s.

雅各背着亞蘭人拉班偷走了，並不告訴他，

yǎ gè bèi zhe yà lán rén lā bān tōu zǒu le ， bìng bú gào sù tā ，

Jacob deceived Laban the Syrian, in that he didn’t tell him that he was running away.

就帶着所有的逃跑。他起身過大河，面向基列山行去。

jiù dài zhe suǒ yǒu de táo pǎo 。 tā qǐ shēn guò dà hé ， miàn xiàng jī liè shān xíng qù 。

So he fled with all that he had. He rose up, passed over the River, and set his face toward the mountain of Gilead.

到第三日，有人告訴拉班，雅各逃跑了。

dào dì sān rì ， yǒu rén gào sù lā bān ， yǎ gè táo pǎo le 。

Laban was told on the third day that Jacob had fled.

拉班帶領他的眾弟兄去追趕，追了七日，在基列山就追上了。

lā bān dài lǐng tā de zhòng dì xiong qù zhuī gǎn ， zhuī le qī rì ， zài jī liè shān jiù zhuī shàng le 。

He took his relatives with him, and pursued him seven days’ journey. He overtook him in the mountain of Gilead.

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。」

yè jiān ， shén dào yà lán rén lā bān nà lǐ ， zài mèng zhōng duì tā shuō ：「 nǐ yào xiǎo xīn ， bù kě yǔ yǎ gè shuō hǎo shuō dǎi 。」

God came to Laban the Syrian in a dream of the night, and said to him, “Be careful that you don’t speak to Jacob either good or bad.”

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。

lā bān zhuī shàng yǎ gè 。 yǎ gè zài shān shàng zhī dā zhàng péng ； lā bān hé tā de zhòng dì xiong yě zài jī liè shān shàng zhī dā zhàng péng 。

Laban caught up with Jacob. Now Jacob had pitched his tent in the mountain, and Laban with his relatives encamped in the mountain of Gilead.

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。

lā bān duì yǎ gè shuō ：「 nǐ zuò de shì shén me shì ne ？ nǐ bèi zhe wǒ tōu zǒu le ， yòu bǎ wǒ de nǚ ér men dài le qù ， rú tóng yòng dāo jiàn lǔ qù de yì bān 。

Laban said to Jacob, “What have you done, that you have deceived me, and carried away my daughters like captives of the sword?

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？

nǐ wèi shén me àn àn dì táo pǎo ， tōu zhe zǒu ， bìng bú gào sù wǒ ， jiào wǒ kě yǐ huān lè 、 chàng gē 、 jī gǔ 、 tán qín dì sòng nǐ huí qù ？

Why did you flee secretly, and deceive me, and didn’t tell me, that I might have sent you away with mirth and with songs, with tambourine and with harp;

又不容我與外孫和女兒親嘴？你所行的真是愚昧！

yòu bù róng wǒ yǔ wài sūn hé nǚ ér qīn zuǐ ？ nǐ suǒ xíng de zhēn shì yú mèi ！

and didn’t allow me to kiss my sons and my daughters? Now you have done foolishly.

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。』

wǒ shǒu zhōng yuán yǒu néng lì hài nǐ ， zhǐ shì nǐ fù qīn de shén zuó yè duì wǒ shuō ：『 nǐ yào xiǎo xīn ， bù kě yǔ yǎ gè shuō hǎo shuō dǎi 。』

It is in the power of my hand to hurt you, but the God of your father spoke to me last night, saying, ‘Be careful that you don’t speak to Jacob either good or bad.’

現在你雖然想你父家，不得不去，為甚麼又偷了我的神像呢？」

xiàn zài nǐ suī rán xiǎng nǐ fù jiā ， bù dé bú qù ， wèi shén me yòu tōu le wǒ de shén xiàng ne ？」

Now, you want to be gone, because you greatly longed for your father’s house, but why have you stolen my gods?”

雅各回答拉班說：「恐怕你把你的女兒從我奪去，所以我逃跑。

yǎ gè huí dá lā bān shuō ：「 kǒng pà nǐ bǎ nǐ de nǚ ér cóng wǒ duó qù ， suǒ yǐ wǒ táo pǎo 。

Jacob answered Laban, “Because I was afraid, for I said, ‘Lest you should take your daughters from me by force.’

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。

zhì yú nǐ de shén xiàng ， nǐ zài shuí nà lǐ sōu chū lái ， jiù bù róng shuí cún huó 。 dāng zhe wǒ men de zhòng dì xiong ， nǐ rèn yi rèn ， zài wǒ zhè lǐ yǒu shén me dōng xī shì nǐ de ， jiù ná qù 。」 yuán lái yǎ gè bù zhī dào lā jié tōu le nà xiē shén xiàng 。

Anyone you find your gods with shall not live. Before our relatives, discern what is yours with me, and take it.” For Jacob didn’t know that Rachel had stolen them.

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。

lā bān jìn le yǎ gè 、 lì yà ， bìng liǎng gè shǐ nǚ de zhàng péng ， dōu méi yǒu sōu chū lái ， jiù cóng lì yà de zhàng péng chū lái ， jìn le lā jié de zhàng péng 。

Laban went into Jacob’s tent, into Leah’s tent, and into the tent of the two female servants; but he didn’t find them. He went out of Leah’s tent, and entered into Rachel’s tent.

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。

lā jié yǐ jīng bǎ shén xiàng cáng zài luò tuó de tuó lǒu lǐ ， biàn zuò zài shàng tóu 。 lā bān mō biàn le nà zhàng péng ， bìng méi yǒu mō zhe 。

Now Rachel had taken the teraphim, put them in the camel’s saddle, and sat on them. Laban felt around all the tent, but didn’t find them.

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。

lā jié duì tā fù qīn shuō ：「 xiàn zài wǒ shēn shàng bú biàn ， bù néng zài nǐ miàn qián qǐ lái ， qiú wǒ zhǔ bú yào shēng qì 。」 zhè yàng ， lā bān sōu xún shén xiàng ， jìng méi yǒu sōu chū lái 。

She said to her father, “Don’t let my lord be angry that I can’t rise up before you; for I’m having my period.” He searched, but didn’t find the teraphim.

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？

yǎ gè jiù fā nù chì zé lā bān shuō ：「 wǒ yǒu shén me guò fàn ， yǒu shén me zuì è ， nǐ jìng zhè yàng huǒ sù dì zhuī wǒ ？

Jacob was angry, and argued with Laban. Jacob answered Laban, “What is my trespass? What is my sin, that you have hotly pursued me?

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。

nǐ mō biàn le wǒ yí qiè de jiā jù ， nǐ sōu chū shén me lái ne ？ kě yǐ fàng zài nǐ wǒ dì xiong miàn qián ， jiào tā men zài nǐ wǒ zhōng jiān biàn bié biàn bié 。

Now that you have felt around in all my stuff, what have you found of all your household stuff? Set it here before my relatives and your relatives, that they may judge between us two.

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；

wǒ zài nǐ jiā zhè èr shí nián ， nǐ de mǔ mián yáng 、 mǔ shān yáng méi yǒu diào guò tāi 。 nǐ qún zhōng de gōng yáng ， wǒ méi yǒu chī guò ；

“These twenty years I have been with you. Your ewes and your female goats have not cast their young, and I haven’t eaten the rams of your flocks.

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。

bèi yě shòu sī liè de ， wǒ méi yǒu dài lái gěi nǐ ， shì wǒ zì jǐ péi shàng 。 wú lùn shì bái rì ， shì hēi yè ， bèi tōu qù de ， nǐ dōu xiàng wǒ suǒ yào 。

That which was torn of animals, I didn’t bring to you. I bore its loss. Of my hand you required it, whether stolen by day or stolen by night.

我白日受盡乾熱，黑夜受盡寒霜，不得合眼睡着，我常是這樣。

wǒ bái rì shòu jìn gān rè ， hēi yè shòu jìn hán shuāng ， bù dé hé yǎn shuì zháo ， wǒ cháng shì zhè yàng 。

This was my situation: in the day the drought consumed me, and the frost by night; and my sleep fled from my eyes.

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。

wǒ zhè èr shí nián zài nǐ jiā lǐ ， wèi nǐ de liǎng gè nǚ ér fú shì nǐ shí sì nián ， wèi nǐ de yáng qún fú shì nǐ liù nián ， nǐ yòu shí cì gǎi le wǒ de gōng jià 。

These twenty years I have been in your house. I served you fourteen years for your two daughters, and six years for your flock, and you have changed my wages ten times.

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。」

ruò bú shì wǒ fù qīn yǐ sā suǒ jìng wèi de shén ， jiù shì yà bó lā hǎn de shén yǔ wǒ tóng zài ， nǐ rú jīn bì dìng dǎ fā wǒ kōng shǒu ér qù 。 shén kàn jiàn wǒ de kǔ qíng hé wǒ de láo lù ， jiù zài zuó yè zé bèi nǐ 。」

Unless the God of my father, the God of Abraham, and the fear of Isaac, had been with me, surely now you would have sent me away empty. God has seen my affliction and the labor of my hands, and rebuked you last night.”

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？

lā bān huí dá yǎ gè shuō ：「 zhè nǚ ér shì wǒ de nǚ ér ， zhè xiē hái zi shì wǒ de hái zǐ ， zhè xiē yáng qún yě shì wǒ de yáng qún ； fán zài nǐ yǎn qián de dōu shì wǒ de 。 wǒ de nǚ ér bìng tā men suǒ shēng de hái zi ， wǒ jīn rì néng xiàng tā men zuò shén me ne ？

Laban answered Jacob, “The daughters are my daughters, the children are my children, the flocks are my flocks, and all that you see is mine! What can I do today to these my daughters, or to their children whom they have borne?

來吧！你我二人可以立約，作你我中間的證據。」

lái ba ！ nǐ wǒ èr rén kě yǐ lì yuē ， zuò nǐ wǒ zhōng jiān de zhèng jù 。」

Now come, let’s make a covenant, you and I. Let it be for a witness between me and you.”

雅各就拿一塊石頭立作柱子，

yǎ gè jiù ná yí kuài shí tou lì zuò zhù zi ，

Jacob took a stone, and set it up for a pillar.

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。

yòu duì zhòng dì xiong shuō ：「 nǐ men duī jù shí tou 。」 tā men jiù ná shí tou lái duī chéng yì duī ， dà jiā biàn zài páng biān chī hē 。

Jacob said to his relatives, “Gather stones.” They took stones, and made a heap. They ate there by the heap.

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 。

lā bān chēng nà shí duī wèi yī jiā ěr · sā hā dù tā ， yǎ gè què chēng nà shí duī wèi jiā lèi dé 。

Laban called it Jegar Sahadutha, but Jacob called it Galeed.

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，

lā bān shuō ：「 jīn rì zhè shí duī zuò nǐ wǒ zhōng jiān de zhèng jù 。」 yīn cǐ zhè dì fāng míng jiào jiā lèi dé ，

Laban said, “This heap is witness between me and you today.” Therefore it was named Galeed

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。

yòu jiào mǐ sī bā ， yì sī shuō ：「 wǒ men bǐ cǐ lí bié yǐ hòu ， yuàn yē hé huá zài nǐ wǒ zhōng jiān jiàn chá 。

and Mizpah, for he said, “The LORD watch between me and you, when we are absent one from another.

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。」

nǐ ruò kǔ dài wǒ de nǚ ér ， yòu zài wǒ de nǚ ér yǐ wài lìng qǔ qī ， suī méi yǒu rén zhī dào ， què yǒu shén zài nǐ wǒ zhōng jiàn zuò jiàn zhèng 。」

If you afflict my daughters, or if you take wives in addition to my daughters, no man is with us; behold, God is witness between me and you.”

拉班又說：「你看我在你我中間所立的這石堆和柱子。

lā bān yòu shuō ：「 nǐ kàn wǒ zài nǐ wǒ zhōng jiān suǒ lì de zhè shí duī hé zhù zi 。

Laban said to Jacob, “See this heap, and see the pillar, which I have set between me and you.

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。

zhè shí duī zuò zhèng jù ， zhè zhù zi yě zuò zhèng jù 。 wǒ bì bú guò zhè shí duī qù hài nǐ ； nǐ yě bù kě guò zhè shí duī hé zhù zi lái hài wǒ 。

May this heap be a witness, and the pillar be a witness, that I will not pass over this heap to you, and that you will not pass over this heap and this pillar to me, for harm.

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，

dàn yuàn yà bó lā hǎn de shén hé ná hè de shén ， jiù shì tā men fù qīn de shén ， zài nǐ wǒ zhōng jiān pàn duàn 。」 yǎ gè jiù zhǐ zhe tā fù qīn yǐ sā suǒ jìng wèi de shén qǐ shì ，

The God of Abraham, and the God of Nahor, the God of their father, judge between us.” Then Jacob swore by the fear of his father, Isaac.

又在山上獻祭，請眾弟兄來吃飯。他們吃了飯，便在山上住宿。

yòu zài shān shàng xiàn jì ， qǐng zhòng dì xiong lái chī fàn 。 tā men chī le fàn ， biàn zài shān shàng zhù sù 。

Jacob offered a sacrifice in the mountain, and called his relatives to eat bread. They ate bread, and stayed all night in the mountain.

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。

lā bān qīng zǎo qǐ lái ， yǔ tā wài sūn hé nǚ ér qīn zuǐ ， gěi tā men zhù fú ， huí wǎng zì jǐ de dì fāng qù le 。

Early in the morning, Laban rose up, and kissed his sons and his daughters, and blessed them. Laban departed and returned to his place.
