| 1 | But after that he heard the words of the sons of Laban, saying: Jacob hath taken away all that was our father’s, and being enriched by his substance is become great: | Ἤκουσε δὲ Ἰακὼβ τὰ ῥήματα τῶν υἱῶν Λάβαν, λεγόντων, εἴληφεν Ἰακὼβ πάντα τὰ τοῦ πατρὸς ἡμῶν, καὶ ἐκ τῶν τοῦ πατρὸς ἡμῶν πεποίηκε πᾶσαν τὴν δόξαν ταύτην. |
| 2 | And perceiving also that Laban’s countenance was not towards him as yesterday and the other day, | Καὶ εἶδεν Ἰακὼβ τὸ πρόσωπον τοῦ Λάβαν, καὶ ἰδοὺ οὐκ ἦν πρὸς αὐτὸν ὡσεὶ χθὲς καὶ τρίτην ἡμέραν. |
| 3 | Especially the Lord saying to him: Return into the land of thy fathers, and to thy kindred, and I will be with thee. | Εἶπε δὲ Κύριος πρὸς Ἰακὼβ, ἀποστρέφου εἰς τὴν γῆν τοῦ πατρός σου, καὶ εἰς τὴν γενεάν σου, καὶ ἔσομαι μετὰ σοῦ. |
| 4 | He sent, and called Rachel and Lia into the field, where he fed the flocks, | Ἀποστείλας δὲ Ἰακὼβ ἐκάλεσε Λείαν καὶ Ῥαχὴλ εἰς τὸ πεδίον, οὗ ἦν τὰ ποίμνια. |
| 5 | And said to them: I see your father’s countenance is not towards me as yesterday and the other day: but the God of my father hath been with me. | Καὶ εἶπεν αὐταῖς, ὁρῶ ἐγὼ τὸ πρόσωπον τοῦ πατρὸς ὑμῶν, ὅτι οὐκ ἔστι πρὸς ἐμοῦ, ὡς ἐχθὲς καὶ τρίτην ἡμέραν· ὁ δὲ Θεὸς τοῦ πατρός μου ἦν μετʼ ἐμοῦ. |
| 6 | And you know that I have served your father to the uttermost of my power. | Καὶ αὐταὶ δὲ οἴδατε, ὅτι ἐν πάσῃ τῇ ἰσχύϊ μου δεδούλευκα τῷ πατρὶ ὑμῶν. |
| 7 | Yea, your father also hath overreached me, and hath changed my wages ten times: and yet God hath not suffered him to hurt me. | Ὁ δὲ πατὴρ ὑμῶν παρεκρούσατό με, καὶ ἤλλαξε τὸν μισθόν μου τῶν δέκα ἀμνῶν· καὶ οὐκ ἔδωκεν αὐτῷ ὁ Θεὸς κακοποιῆσαί με. |
| 8 | If at any time he said: The speckled shall be thy wages: all the sheep brought forth speckled: but when he said on the contrary: Thou shalt take all the white ones for thy wages: all the flocks brought forth white ones. | Ἐὰν οὕτως εἴπῃ, τὰ ποικίλα ἔσται σου μισθὸς, καὶ τέξεται πάντα τὰ πρόβατα ποικίλα· ἐὰν δὲ εἴπῃ, τὰ λευκὰ ἔσται σου μισθὸς, καὶ τέξεται πάντα τὰ πρόβατα λευκά. |
| 9 | And God hath taken your father’s substance, and given it to me. | Καὶ ἀφείλετο ὁ Θεὸς πάντα τὰ κτήνη τοῦ πατρὸς ὑμῶν, καὶ ἔδωκέ μοι αὐτά. |
| 10 | For after that time came of the ewes conceiving, I lifted up my eyes, and saw in my sleep that the males which leaped upon the females were of divers colours, and spotted, and speckled. | Καὶ ἐγένετο ἡνίκα ἐνεκίσσων τὰ πρόβατα ἐν γαστρὶ λαμβάνοντα, καὶ εἶδον τοῖς ὀφθαλμοῖς μου ἐν τῷ ὕπνῳ· καὶ ἰδοὺ οἱ τράγοι καὶ οἱ κριοὶ ἀναβαίνοντες ἐπὶ τὰ πρόβατα καὶ τὰς αἶγας, διάλευκοι καὶ ποικίλοι καὶ σποδοειδεῖς ῥαντοί. |
| 11 | And the angel of God said to me in my sleep: Jacob? And I answered: Here I am. | Καὶ εἶπέ μοι ὁ Ἄγγελος τοῦ Θεοῦ καθʼ ὕπνον, Ἰακώβ· ἐγὼ δὲ εἶπα, τί ἐστι; |
| 12 | And he said: Lift up thy eyes, and see that all the males leaping upon the females, are of divers colours, spotted, and speckled. For I have seen all that Laban hath done to thee. | Καὶ εἶπεν, ἀνάβλεψον τοῖς ὀφθαλμοῖς σου, καὶ ἴδε τοὺς τράγους καὶ τοὺς κριοὺς ἀναβαίνοντας ἐπὶ τὰ πρόβατα καὶ τὰς αἶγας διαλεύκους καὶ ποικίλους καὶ σποδοειδεῖς ῥαντούς· ἑώρακα γὰρ ὅσα σοι Λάβαν ποιεῖ. |
| 13 | I am the God of Bethel, where thou didst anoint the stone, and make a vow to me. Now therefore arise, and go out of this land, and return into thy native country. | Ἐγώ εἰμι ὁ Θεὸς ὁ ὀφθείς σοι ἐν τόπῳ Θεοῦ, οὗ ἤλειψάς μοι ἐκεῖ στήλην, καὶ ηὔξω μοι ἐκεῖ εὐχήν· νῦν οὖν ἀνάστηθι, καὶ ἔξελθε ἐκ τῆς γῆς ταύτης, καὶ ἄπελθε εἰς τὴν γῆν τῆς γενέσεώς σου, καὶ ἔσομαι μετὰ σοῦ. |
| 14 | And Rachel and Lia answered: Have we any thing left among the goods and inheritance of our father’s house? | Καὶ ἀποκριθεῖσαι Ῥαχὴλ καὶ Λεία εἶπαν αὐτῷ, μὴ ἔστιν ἡμῖν ἔτι μερὶς ἢ κληρονομία ἐν τῷ οἴκῳ τοῦ πατρὸς ἡμῶν; |
| 15 | Hath he not counted us as strangers and sold us, and eaten up the price of us? | Οὐχ ὡς αἱ ἀλλότριαι λελογίσμεθα αὐτῷ; πέπρακε γὰρ ἡμᾶς, καὶ καταβρώσει κατέφαγε τὸ ἀργύριον ἡμῶν. |
| 16 | But God hath taken our father’s riches, and delivered them to us, and to our children: wherefore do all that God hath commanded thee. | Πάντα τὸν πλοῦτον καὶ τὴν δόξαν, ἣν ἀφείλετο ὁ Θεὸς τοῦ πατρὸς ἡμῶν, ἡμῖν ἔσται καὶ τοῖς τέκνοις ἡμῶν· νῦν οὖν ὅσα σοι εἴρηκεν ὁ Θεὸς, ποίει. |
| 17 | Then Jacob rose up, and having set his children and wives upon camels, went his way. | Ἀναστὰς δὲ Ἰακὼβ ἔλαβε τὰς γυναῖκας αὐτοῦ καὶ τὰ παιδία αὐτοῦ ἐπὶ τὰς καμήλους· |
| 18 | And he took all his substance, and flocks, and whatsoever he had gotten in Mesopotamia, and went forward to Isaac his father to the land of Chanaan. | Καὶ ἀπήγαγε πάντα τὰ ὑπάρχοντα αὐτῷ, καὶ πᾶσαν τὴν ἀποσκευὴν αὐτοῦ, ἣν περιεποιήσατο ἐν τῇ Μεσοποταμίᾳ, καὶ πάντα τὰ αὐτοῦ, ἀπελθεῖν πρὸς Ἰσαὰκ τὸν πατέρα αὐτοῦ εἰς γῆν Χαναάν. |
| 19 | At that time Laban was gone to shear his sheep, and Rachel stole away her father’s idols. | Λάβαν δὲ ᾤχετο κεῖραι τὰ πρόβατα αὐτοῦ· ἔκλεψε δὲ Ῥαχὴλ τὰ εἴδωλα τοῦ πατρὸς αὐτῆς. |
| 20 | And Jacob would not confess to his father in law that he was flying away. | Ἔκρυψε δὲ Ἰακὼβ Λάβαν τὸν Σύρον, τοῦ μὴ ἀναγγεῖλαι αὐτῷ, ὅτι ἀποδιδράσκει. |
| 21 | And when he was gone, together with all that belonged to him, and having passed the river, was going on towards mount Galaad, | Καὶ ἀπέδρα αὐτὸς, καὶ τὰ αὐτοῦ πάντα, καὶ διέβη τὸν ποταμὸν, καὶ ὥρμησεν εἰς τὸ ὄρος Γαλαάδ. |
| 22 | It was told Laban on the third day that Jacob fled. | Ἀνηγγέλη δὲ Λάβαν τῷ Σύρῳ τῇ ἡμέρᾳ τῇ τρίτῃ, ὅτι ἀπέδρα Ἰακώβ. |
| 23 | And he took his brethren with him, and pursued after him seven days; and overtook him in the mount of Galaad. | Καὶ παραλαβὼν τοὺς ἀδελφοὺς αὐτοῦ μεθʼ ἑαντοῦ, ἐδίωξεν ὀπίσω αὐτοῦ ὁδὸν ἡμερῶν ἑπτά· καὶ κατέλαβεν αὐτὸν ἐν τῷ ὄρει Γαλαάδ. |
| 24 | And he saw in a dream God saying to him: Take heed thou speak not any thing harshly against Jacob. | Ἦλθε δὲ ὁ Θεὸς πρὸς Λάβαν τὸν Σύρον καθʼ ὕπνον τὴν νύκτα, καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ, Φύλαξαι σεαυτὸν μή ποτε λαλήσῃς μετὰ Ἰακὼβ πονηρά. |
| 25 | Now Jacob had pitched his tent in the mountain: and when he with his brethren had overtaken him, he pitched his tent in the same mount of Galaad. | Καὶ κατέλαβε Λάβαν τὸν Ἰακώβ· Ἰακὼβ δὲ ἔπηξεν τὴν σκηνὴν αὐτοῦ ἐν τῷ ὄρει· Λάβαν δὲ ἔστησε τοὺς ἀδελφοὺς αὐτοῦ ἐν τῷ ὄρει Γαλαάδ. |
| 26 | And he said to Jacob: Why hast thou done thus, to carry away, without my knowledge, my daughters, as captives taken with the sword. | Εἶπε δὲ Λάβαν τῷ Ἰακὼβ, τί ἐποίησας; ἱνατί κρυφῇ ἀπέδρας, καὶ ἐκλοποφόρησάς με, καὶ ἀπήγαγες τὰς θυγατέρας μου, ὡς αἰχμαλώτιδας μαχαίρᾳ; |
| 27 | Why wouldst thou run away privately and not acquaint me, that I might have brought thee on the way with joy, and with songs, and with timbrels, and with harps? | Καὶ εἰ ἀνήγγειλάς μοι, ἐξαπέστειλα ἄν σε μετʼ εὐφροσύνης, καὶ μετὰ μουσικῶν, καὶ τυμπάνων, καὶ κιθάρας. |
| 28 | Thou hast not suffered me to kiss my sons and daughters: thou hast done foolishly: and now, indeed, | Καὶ οὐκ ἠξιώθην καταφιλῆσαι τὰ παιδία μου, καὶ τὰς θυγατέρας μου· νῦν δὲ ἀφρόνως ἔπραξας. |
| 29 | It is in my power to return thee evil: but the God of your father said to me yesterday: Take heed thou speak not any thing harshly against Jacob. | Καὶ νῦν ἰσχύει ἡ χείρ μου κακοποιῆσαί σε· ὁ δὲ Θεὸς τοῦ πατρός σου χθὲς εἶπε πρός με, λέγων, Φύλαξαι σεαυτὸν μή ποτε λαλήσῃς μετὰ Ἰακὼβ πονηρά. |
| 30 | Suppose thou didst desire to go to thy friends, and hadst a longing after thy father’s house: why hast thou stolen away my gods? | Νῦν οὖν πεπόρευσαι· ἐπιθυμίᾳ γὰρ ἐπεθύμησας ἀπελθεῖν εἰς τὸν οἶκον τοῦ πατρός σου· ἱνατί ἔκλεψας τοὺς θεούς μου; |
| 31 | Jacob answered: That I departed unknown to thee, it was for fear lest thou wouldst take away thy daughters by force. | Ἀποκριθεὶς δὲ Ἰακὼβ εἶπε τῷ Λάβαν, ὅτι ἐφοβήθην· εἶπα γὰρ, μή ποτε ἀφέλῃ τὰς θυγατέρας σου ἀπʼ ἐμοῦ, καὶ πάντα τὰ ἐμά. |
| 32 | But whereas thou chargest me with theft: with whomsoever thou shalt find thy gods, let him be slain before our brethren. Search, and if thou find any of thy things with me, take them away. Now when he said this, he knew not that Rachel had stolen the idols. | Καὶ εἶπεν Ἰακὼβ, παρʼ ᾧ ἂν εὕρῃς τοὺς θεούς σου, οὐ ζήσεται ἐναντίον τῶν ἀδελφῶν ἡμῶν· ἐπίγνωθι τί ἐστι παρʼ ἐμοὶ τῶν σῶν, καὶ λάβε· καὶ οὐκ ἐπέγνω παρʼ αὐτῷ οὐθέν· οὐκ ᾔδει δὲ Ἰακὼβ, ὅτι Ῥαχὴλ ἡ γυνὴ αὐτοῦ ἔκλεψεν αὐτούς. |
| 33 | So Laban went into the tent of Jacob, and of Lia, and of both the handmaids, and found them not. And when he was entered into Rachel’s tent, | Εἰσελθὼν δὲ Λάβαν ἠρεύνησεν εἰς τὸν οἶκον Λείας, καὶ οὐχ εὗρεν· καὶ ἐξῆλθεν ἐκ τοῦ οἴκου Λείας, καὶ ἠρεύνησε τὸν οἶκον Ἰακὼβ, καὶ ἐν τῷ οἴκῳ τῶν δύο παιδισκῶν, καὶ οὐχ εὗρεν· εἰσῆλθε δὲ καὶ εἰς τὸν οἶκον Ῥαχήλ. |
| 34 | She in haste hid the idols under the camel’s furniture, and sat upon them: and when he had searched all the tent, and found nothing, | Ῥαχὴλ δὲ ἔλαβε τὰ εἴδωλα, καὶ ἐνέβαλεν αὐτὰ εἰς τὰ σάγματα τῆς καμήλου, καὶ ἐπεκάθισεν αὐτοῖς. |
| 35 | She said: Let not my lord be angry that I cannot rise up before thee, because it has now happened to me, according to the custom of women, So his careful search was in vain. | Καὶ εἶπε τῷ πατρὶ αὐτῆς, μὴ βαρέως φέρε, κύριε· οὐ δυνάμαι ἀναστῆναι ἐνώπιόν σου, ὅτι τὰ κατʼ ἐθισμὸν τῶν γυναικῶν μοι ἐστίν· ἠρεύνησε Λάβαν ἐν ὅλῳ τῷ οἴκῳ, καὶ οὐχ εὗρε τὰ εἴδωλα. |
| 36 | And Jacob being angry, said in a chiding manner: For what fault of mine, and for what offence on my part hast thou so hotly pursued me, | Ὠργίσθη δὲ Ἰακὼβ, καὶ ἐμαχέσατο τῷ Λάβαν· ἀποκριθεὶς δὲ Ἰακὼβ εἶπε τῷ Λάβαν, τί τὸ ἀδίκημά μου; καὶ τί τὸ ἁμάρτημά μου, ὅτι κατεδίωξας ὀπίσω μου, |
| 37 | And searched all my household stuff? What hast thou found of all the substance of thy house? lay it here before my brethren, and thy brethren, and let them judge between me and thee. | καὶ ὅτι ἠρεύνησας πάντα τὰ σκεύη τοῦ οἴκου μου; τί εὗρες ἀπὸ πάντων τῶν σκευῶν τοῦ οἴκου σου; θὲς ὧδε ἐνώπιον τῶν ἀδελφῶν σου καὶ τῶν ἀδελφῶν μου, καὶ ἐλεγξάτωσαν ἀνὰ μέσον τῶν δύο ἡμῶν. |
| 38 | Have I therefore been with thee twenty years? thy ewes and goats were not barren, the rams of thy flocks I did not eat: | Ταῦτά μοι εἴκοσι ἔτη ἐγώ εἰμι μετὰ σοῦ· τὰ πρόβατά σου καὶ αἱ αἶγές σου οὐκ ἠτεκνώθησαν· κριοὺς τῶν προβάτων σου οὐ κατέφαγον. |
| 39 | Neither did I show thee that which the beast had torn, I made good all the damage: whatsoever was lost by theft, thou didst exact it of me: | Θηριάλωτον οὐκ ἐνήνοχά σοι· ἐγὼ ἀπετίννυον παρʼ ἐμαυτοῦ κλέμματα ἡμέρας, καὶ κλέμματα νυκτός. |
| 40 | Day and night was I parched with heat, and with frost, and sleep departed from my eyes. | Ἐγενόμην τῆς ἡμέρας συγκαιόμενος τῷ καύματι, καὶ τῷ παγετῷ τῆς νυκτός· καὶ ἀφίστατο ὁ ὕπνος μου ἀπὸ τῶν ὀφθαλμῶν μου. |
| 41 | And in this manner have I served thee in thy house twenty years, fourteen for thy daughters, and six for thy flocks: thou hast changed also my wages ten times. | Ταῦτά μοι εἴκοσι ἔτη ἐγώ εἰμι ἐν τῇ οἰκίᾳ σου· ἐδούλευσά σοι δεκατέσσαρα ἔτη ἀντὶ τῶν δύο θυγατέρων σου, καὶ ἓξ ἔτη ἐν τοῖς προβάτοις σου, καὶ παρελογίσω τὸν μισθόν μου δέκα ἀμνάσιν. |
| 42 | Unless the God of my father Abraham, and the fear of Isaac had stood by me, peradventure now thou hadst sent me away naked: God beheld my affliction and the labour of my hands, and rebuked thee yesterday. | Εἰ μὴ ὁ Θεὸς τοῦ πατρός μου Ἁβραὰμ, καὶ ὁ φόβος Ἰσαὰκ, ἦν μοι, νῦν ἂν κενόν με ἐξαπέστειλας· τὴν ταπείνωσίν μου, καὶ τὸν κόπον τῶν χειρῶν μου, εἶδεν ὁ Θεός· καὶ ἤλεγξέ σε χθές. |
| 43 | Laban answered him: The daughters are mine and the children, and thy flocks, and all things that thou seest are mine: what can I do to my children, and grandchildren? | Ἀποκριθεὶς δὲ Λάβαν εἶπε τῷ Ἰακὼβ, αἱ θυγατέρες, θυγατέρες μου, καὶ υἱοὶ, υἱοί μου, καὶ τὰ κτήνη, κτήνη μου· καὶ πάντα ὅσα σὺ ὁρᾷς, ἐμά ἐστι, καὶ τῶν θυγατέρων μου· τί ποιήσω ταύταις σήμερον ἢ τοῖς τέκνοις αὐτῶν, οἷς ἔτεκον; |
| 44 | Come therefore, let us enter into a league: that it may be for a testimony between me and thee. | Νῦν οὖν δεῦρο διαθῶμαι διαθήκην ἐγώ τε καὶ σύ· καὶ ἔσται εἰς μαρτύριον ἀνὰ μέσον ἐμοῦ καὶ σοῦ· εἶπε δὲ αὐτῷ, ἰδοὺ οὐθεὶς μεθʼ ἡμῶν ἐστιν· ἴδε ὁ Θεὸς μάρτυς ἀνὰ μέσον ἐμοῦ καὶ σοῦ. |
| 45 | And Jacob took a stone, and set it up for a title: | Λαβὼν δὲ Ἰακὼβ λίθον, ἔστησεν αὐτὸν στήλην. |
| 46 | And he said to his brethren: Bring hither stones. And they gathering stones together, made a heap, and they ate upon it. | Εἶπε δὲ Ἰακὼβ τοῖς ἀδελφοῖς αὐτοῦ, συλλέγετε λίθους· καὶ συνέλεξαν λίθους, καὶ ἐποίησαν βουνόν· καὶ ἔφαγον ἐκεῖ ἐπὶ τοῦ βουνοῦ· καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ Λάβαν, ὁ βουνὸς οὗτος μαρτυρεῖ ἀνὰ μέσον ἐμοῦ καὶ σοῦ σήμερον. |
| 47 | And Laban called it The witness heap: and Jacob, The hillock of testimony: each of them according to the propriety of his language. | Καὶ ἐκάλεσεν αὐτὸν Λάβαν, βουνὸς τῆς μαρτυρίας· Ἰακὼβ δὲ ἐκάλεσεν αὐτὸν, βουνὸς μάρτυς. |
| 48 | And Laban said: This heap shall be a witness between me and thee this day, and therefore the name thereof was called Galaad, that is, The witness heap. | Εἶπε δὲ Λάβαν τῷ Ἰακὼβ, ἰδοὺ ὁ βουνὸς οὗτος καὶ ἡ στήλη, ἣν ἔστησα ἀνὰ μέσον ἐμοῦ καὶ σοῦ· μαρτυρεῖ ὁ βουνὸς οὗτος, καὶ μαρτυρεῖ ἡ στήλη αὕτη· διὰ τοῦτο ἐκλήθη τὸ ὄνομα, βουνὸς μαρτυρεῖ. |
| 49 | The Lord behold and judge between us when we shall be gone one from the other. | Καὶ ἡ ὅρασις, ἣν εἶπεν, ἐπίδοι ὁ Θεὸς ἀνὰ μέσον ἐμοῦ καὶ σοῦ· ὅτι ἀποστησόμεθα ἕτερος ἀφʼ ἑτέρου. |
| 50 | If thou afflict my daughters, and if thou bring in other wives over them: none is witness of our speech but God, who is present and beholdeth. | Εἰ ταπεινώσεις τὰς θυγατέρας μου, εἰ λάβῃς γυναῖκας πρὸς ταῖς θυγατράσι μου, ὅρα, οὐθεὶς μεθʼ ἡμῶν ἐστιν ὁρῶν· Θεὸς μάρτυς μεταξὺ ἐμοῦ καὶ μεταξὺ σοῦ. Καὶ εἶπε Λάβαν τῷ Ἰακὼβ, ἰδοὺ ὁ βουνὸς οὗτος καὶ μάρτυς ἡ στήλη αὕτη. |
| 51 | And he said again to Jacob: Behold, this heap, and the stone which I have set up between me and thee, | — |
| 52 | Shall be a witness: this heap, I say, and the stone, be they for a testimony, if either I shall pass beyond it going towards thee, or thou shalt pass beyond it, thinking harm to me. | Ἐάν τε γὰρ ἐγὼ μὴ διαβῶ πρός σε, μήτε σὺ διαβῇς πρός με τὸν βουνὸν τοῦτον καὶ τὴν στήλην ταύτην ἐπὶ κακίᾳ. |
| 53 | The God of Abraham, and the God of Nachor, the God of their father, judge between us. And Jacob swore by the fear of his father Isaac. | Ὁ Θεὸς Ἁβραὰμ καὶ ὁ Θεὸς Ναχὼρ κρίναι ἀνὰ μέσον ἡμῶν· καὶ ὤμοσεν Ἰακὼβ κατὰ τοῦ φόβου τοῦ πατρὸς αὐτοῦ Ἰσαάκ. |
| 54 | And after he had offered sacrifices in the mountain, he called his brethren to eat bread. And when they had eaten, they lodged there: | Καὶ ἔθυσεν θυσίαν ἐν τῷ ὄρει· καὶ ἐκάλεσε τοὺς ἀδελφοὺς αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἔφαγον καὶ ἔπιον, καὶ ἐκοιμήθησαν ἐν τῷ ὄρει. |
| 55 | But Laban arose in the night, and kissed his sons, and daughters, and blessed them: and returned to his place. | — |
