절Good News Translation (1992)King James Version
1
Jacob Flees from Laban
Jacob heard that Laban's sons were saying, “Jacob has taken everything that belonged to our father. He got all his wealth from what our father owned.”
And he heard the words of Laban’s sons, saying, Jacob hath taken away all that was our father’s; and of that which was our father’s hath he gotten all this glory.
2 He also saw that Laban was no longer as friendly as he had been earlier. And Jacob beheld the countenance of Laban, and, behold, it was not toward him as before.
3 Then the Lord said to him, “Go back to the land of your fathers and to your relatives. I will be with you.” And the Lord said unto Jacob, Return unto the land of thy fathers, and to thy kindred; and I will be with thee.
4 So Jacob sent word to Rachel and Leah to meet him in the field where his flocks were. And Jacob sent and called Rachel and Leah to the field unto his flock,
5 He said to them, “I have noticed that your father is not as friendly toward me as he used to be; but my father's God has been with me. And said unto them, I see your father’s countenance, that it is not toward me as before; but the God of my father hath been with me.
6 You both know that I have worked for your father with all my strength. And ye know that with all my power I have served your father.
7 Yet he has cheated me and changed my wages ten times. But God did not let him harm me. And your father hath deceived me, and changed my wages ten times; but God suffered him not to hurt me.
8 Whenever Laban said, ‘The speckled goats shall be your wages,’ all the flocks produced speckled young. When he said, ‘The striped goats shall be your wages,’ all the flocks produced striped young. If he said thus, The speckled shall be thy wages; then all the cattle bare speckled: and if he said thus, The ringstraked shall be thy hire; then bare all the cattle ringstraked.
9 God has taken flocks away from your father and given them to me. Thus God hath taken away the cattle of your father, and given them to me.
10 “During the breeding season I had a dream, and I saw that the male goats that were mating were striped, spotted, and speckled. And it came to pass at the time that the cattle conceived, that I lifted up mine eyes, and saw in a dream, and, behold, the rams which leaped upon the cattle were ringstraked, speckled, and grisled.
11 The angel of God spoke to me in the dream and said, ‘Jacob!’ ‘Yes,’ I answered. And the angel of God spake unto me in a dream, saying, Jacob: And I said, Here am I.
12 ‘Look,’ he continued, ‘all the male goats that are mating are striped, spotted, and speckled. I am making this happen because I have seen all that Laban is doing to you. And he said, Lift up now thine eyes, and see, all the rams which leap upon the cattle are ringstraked, speckled, and grisled: for I have seen all that Laban doeth unto thee.
13 I am the God who appeared to you at Bethel, where you dedicated a stone as a memorial by pouring olive oil on it and where you made a vow to me. Now get ready and go back to the land where you were born.’” I am the God of Beth–el, where thou anointedst the pillar, and where thou vowedst a vow unto me: now arise, get thee out from this land, and return unto the land of thy kindred.
14 Rachel and Leah answered Jacob, “There is nothing left for us to inherit from our father. And Rachel and Leah answered and said unto him, Is there yet any portion or inheritance for us in our father’s house?
15 He treats us like foreigners. He sold us, and now he has spent all the money he was paid for us. Are we not counted of him strangers? for he hath sold us, and hath quite devoured also our money.
16 All this wealth which God has taken from our father belongs to us and to our children. Do whatever God has told you.” For all the riches which God hath taken from our father, that is ours, and our children’s: now then, whatsoever God hath said unto thee, do.
17 — Then Jacob rose up, and set his sons and his wives upon camels;
18 So Jacob got ready to go back to his father in the land of Canaan. He put his children and his wives on the camels, and drove all his flocks ahead of him, with everything that he had gotten in Mesopotamia. And he carried away all his cattle, and all his goods which he had gotten, the cattle of his getting, which he had gotten in Padan–aram, for to go to Isaac his father in the land of Canaan.
19 Laban had gone to shear his sheep, and during his absence Rachel stole the household gods that belonged to her father. And Laban went to shear his sheep: and Rachel had stolen the images that were her father’s.
20 Jacob deceived Laban by not letting him know that he was leaving. And Jacob stole away unawares to Laban the Syrian, in that he told him not that he fled.
21 He took everything he owned and left in a hurry. He crossed the Euphrates River and started for the hill country of Gilead. So he fled with all that he had; and he rose up, and passed over the river, and set his face toward the mount Gilead.
22
Laban Pursues Jacob
Three days later Laban was told that Jacob had fled.
And it was told Laban on the third day that Jacob was fled.
23 He took his men with him and pursued Jacob for seven days until he caught up with him in the hill country of Gilead. And he took his brethren with him, and pursued after him seven days’ journey; and they overtook him in the mount Gilead.
24 In a dream that night God came to Laban and said to him, “Be careful not to threaten Jacob in any way.” And God came to Laban the Syrian in a dream by night, and said unto him, Take heed that thou speak not to Jacob either good or bad.
25 Jacob had set up his camp on a mountain, and Laban set up his camp with his relatives in the hill country of Gilead. Then Laban overtook Jacob. Now Jacob had pitched his tent in the mount: and Laban with his brethren pitched in the mount of Gilead.
26 Laban said to Jacob, “Why did you deceive me and carry off my daughters like women captured in war? And Laban said to Jacob, What hast thou done, that thou hast stolen away unawares to me, and carried away my daughters, as captives taken with the sword?
27 Why did you deceive me and slip away without telling me? If you had told me, I would have sent you on your way with rejoicing and singing to the music of tambourines and harps. Wherefore didst thou flee away secretly, and steal away from me; and didst not tell me, that I might have sent thee away with mirth, and with songs, with tabret, and with harp?
28 You did not even let me kiss my grandchildren and my daughters good-bye. That was a foolish thing to do! And hast not suffered me to kiss my sons and my daughters? thou hast now done foolishly in so doing.
29 I have the power to do you harm, but last night the God of your father warned me not to threaten you in any way. It is in the power of my hand to do you hurt: but the God of your father spake unto me yesternight, saying, Take thou heed that thou speak not to Jacob either good or bad.
30 I know that you left because you were so anxious to get back home, but why did you steal my household gods?” And now, though thou wouldest needs be gone, because thou sore longedst after thy father’s house, yet wherefore hast thou stolen my gods?
31 Jacob answered, “I was afraid, because I thought that you might take your daughters away from me. And Jacob answered and said to Laban, Because I was afraid: for I said, Peradventure thou wouldest take by force thy daughters from me.
32 But if you find that anyone here has your gods, he will be put to death. Here, with our men as witnesses, look for anything that belongs to you and take what is yours.” Jacob did not know that Rachel had stolen Laban's gods. With whomsoever thou findest thy gods, let him not live: before our brethren discern thou what is thine with me, and take it to thee. For Jacob knew not that Rachel had stolen them.
33 Laban went and searched Jacob's tent; then he went into Leah's tent, and the tent of the two slave women, but he did not find his gods. Then he went into Rachel's tent. And Laban went into Jacob’s tent, and into Leah’s tent, and into the two maidservants’ tents; but he found them not. Then went he out of Leah’s tent, and entered into Rachel’s tent.
34 Rachel had taken the household gods and put them in a camel's saddlebag and was sitting on them. Laban searched through the whole tent, but did not find them. Now Rachel had taken the images, and put them in the camel’s furniture, and sat upon them. And Laban searched all the tent, but found them not.
35 Rachel said to her father, “Do not be angry with me, sir, but I am not able to stand up in your presence; I am having my monthly period.” Laban searched but did not find his household gods. And she said to her father, Let it not displease my lord that I cannot rise up before thee; for the custom of women is upon me. And he searched, but found not the images.
36 Then Jacob lost his temper. “What crime have I committed?” he asked angrily. “What law have I broken that gives you the right to hunt me down? And Jacob was wroth, and chode with Laban: and Jacob answered and said to Laban, What is my trespass? what is my sin, that thou hast so hotly pursued after me?
37 Now that you have searched through all my belongings, what household article have you found that belongs to you? Put it out here where your men and mine can see it, and let them decide which one of us is right. Whereas thou hast searched all my stuff, what hast thou found of all thy household stuff? set it here before my brethren and thy brethren, that they may judge betwixt us both.
38 I have been with you now for twenty years; your sheep and your goats have not failed to reproduce, and I have not eaten any rams from your flocks. This twenty years have I been with thee; thy ewes and thy she goats have not cast their young, and the rams of thy flock have I not eaten.
39 Whenever a sheep was killed by wild animals, I always bore the loss myself. I didn't take it to you to show that it was not my fault. You demanded that I make good anything that was stolen during the day or during the night. That which was torn of beasts I brought not unto thee; I bare the loss of it; of my hand didst thou require it, whether stolen by day, or stolen by night.
40 Many times I suffered from the heat during the day and from the cold at night. I was not able to sleep. Thus I was; in the day the drought consumed me, and the frost by night; and my sleep departed from mine eyes.
41 It was like that for the whole twenty years I was with you. For fourteen years I worked to win your two daughters—and six years for your flocks. And even then, you changed my wages ten times. Thus have I been twenty years in thy house; I served thee fourteen years for thy two daughters, and six years for thy cattle: and thou hast changed my wages ten times.
42 If the God of my fathers, the God of Abraham and Isaac, had not been with me, you would have already sent me away empty-handed. But God has seen my trouble and the work I have done, and last night he gave his judgment.” Except the God of my father, the God of Abraham, and the fear of Isaac, had been with me, surely thou hadst sent me away now empty. God hath seen mine affliction and the labour of my hands, and rebuked thee yesternight.
43
The Agreement between Jacob and Laban
Laban answered Jacob, “These young women are my daughters; their children belong to me, and these flocks are mine. In fact, everything you see here belongs to me. But since I can do nothing to keep my daughters and their children,
And Laban answered and said unto Jacob, These daughters are my daughters, and these children are my children, and these cattle are my cattle, and all that thou seest is mine: and what can I do this day unto these my daughters, or unto their children which they have born?
44 I am ready to make an agreement with you. Let us make a pile of stones to remind us of our agreement.” Now therefore come thou, let us make a covenant, I and thou; and let it be for a witness between me and thee.
45 So Jacob got a stone and set it up as a memorial. And Jacob took a stone, and set it up for a pillar.
46 He told his men to gather some rocks and pile them up. Then they ate a meal beside the pile of rocks. And Jacob said unto his brethren, Gather stones; and they took stones, and made an heap: and they did eat there upon the heap.
47 Laban named it Jegar Sahadutha, while Jacob named it Galeed. And Laban called it Jegar–sahadutha: but Jacob called it Galeed.
48 Laban said to Jacob, “This pile of rocks will be a reminder for both of us.” That is why that place was named Galeed. And Laban said, This heap is a witness between me and thee this day. Therefore was the name of it called Galeed;
49 Laban also said, “May the Lord keep an eye on us while we are separated from each other.” So the place was also named Mizpah. And Mizpah; for he said, The Lord watch between me and thee, when we are absent one from another.
50 Laban went on, “If you mistreat my daughters or if you marry other women, even though I don't know about it, remember that God is watching us. If thou shalt afflict my daughters, or if thou shalt take other wives beside my daughters, no man is with us; see, God is witness betwixt me and thee.
51 Here are the rocks that I have piled up between us, and here is the memorial stone. And Laban said to Jacob, Behold this heap, and behold this pillar, which I have cast betwixt me and thee;
52 Both this pile and this memorial stone are reminders. I will never go beyond this pile to attack you, and you must never go beyond it or beyond this memorial stone to attack me. This heap be witness, and this pillar be witness, that I will not pass over this heap to thee, and that thou shalt not pass over this heap and this pillar unto me, for harm.
53 The God of Abraham and the God of Nahor will judge between us.” Then, in the name of the God whom his father Isaac worshiped, Jacob solemnly vowed to keep this promise. The God of Abraham, and the God of Nahor, the God of their father, judge betwixt us. And Jacob sware by the fear of his father Isaac.
54 He killed an animal, which he offered as a sacrifice on the mountain, and he invited his men to the meal. After they had eaten, they spent the night on the mountain. Then Jacob offered sacrifice upon the mount, and called his brethren to eat bread: and they did eat bread, and tarried all night in the mount.
55 Early the next morning Laban kissed his grandchildren and his daughters good-bye, and left to go back home. And early in the morning Laban rose up, and kissed his sons and his daughters, and blessed them: and Laban departed, and returned unto his place.
