Génesis 31

1 Y oía él las palabras de los hijos de Labán que decían: Jacob ha tomado todo lo que era de nuestro padre; y de lo que era de nuestro padre ha hecho toda esta gloria.

2 Miraba también Jacob el rostro de Labán, y veía que no era para con él como ayer y antes de ayer.

3 También el SEÑOR dijo a Jacob: Vuelvete a la tierra de tus padres, y a tu natural; que yo seré contigo.

4 Y envió Jacob, y llamó a Raquel y a Lea al campo a sus ovejas,

5 Y les dijo: Veo que el rostro de vuestro padre no es para conmigo como ayer y antes de ayer; mas el Dios de mi padre ha sido conmigo.

6 Y vosotras sabéis que con todas mis fuerzas he servido a vuestro padre;

7 y vuestro padre me ha mentido, que me ha mudado el salario diez veces; pero Dios no le ha permitido que me hiciese mal.

8 Si él decía así: Los pintados serán tu salario; entonces todas las ovejas parían pintados; y si decía así: Los cinchados serán tu salario; entonces todas las ovejas parían cinchados.

9 Y quitó Dios el ganado de vuestro padre, y me lo dio a mí.

10 Y sucedió que al tiempo que las ovejas se calentaban, alcé yo mis ojos y vi en sueños, y he aquí que los machos que subían sobre las hembras eran cinchados, pintados y abigarrados.

11 Y me dijo el ángel de Dios en sueños: Jacob. Y yo dije: Heme aquí.

12 Y él dijo: Alza ahora tus ojos, y verás todos los machos que suben sobre las ovejas cinchados, pintados y abigarrados; porque yo he visto todo lo que Labán te ha hecho.

13 Yo soy el Dios de Bet-el, donde ungiste el título, y donde me prometiste voto. Levántate ahora, y sal de esta tierra, y vuélvete a la tierra de tu naturaleza.

14 Y respondió Raquel y Lea, y le dijeron: ¿Tenemos acaso parte o heredad en la casa de nuestro padre?

15 ¿No nos tiene ya como por extrañas, pues que nos vendió, y aun se ha comido del todo nuestro precio?

16 Porque toda la riqueza que Dios ha quitado a nuestro padre, nuestra es, y de nuestros hijos; ahora pues, haz todo lo que Dios te ha dicho.

17 Entonces se levantó Jacob, y subió sus hijos y sus mujeres sobre los camellos.

18 Y guió todo su ganado, y toda su hacienda que había adquirido, el ganado de su ganancia que había adquirido en Padan-aram, para volverse a Isaac su padre en la tierra de Canaán.

19 Y Labán había ido a trasquilar sus ovejas; y Raquel hurtó los ídolos de su padre.

20 Y hurtó Jacob el corazón de Labán, el arameo, en no hacerle saber cómo se huía.

21 Huyó, pues, con todo lo que tenía; y se levantó, y pasó el río, y puso su rostro al monte de Galaad.

22 Y fue dicho a Labán al tercer día cómo Jacob había huido.

23 Entonces tomó a sus hermanos consigo, y fue tras él camino de siete días, y le alcanzó en el monte de Galaad.

24 Y vino Dios a Labán, el arameo, en sueños aquella noche, y le dijo: Guárdate que no digas a Jacob bueno ni malo.

25 Alcanzó pues Labán a Jacob, y éste había fijado su tienda en el monte; y Labán acampó con sus hermanos en el monte de Galaad.

26 Y dijo Labán a Jacob: ¿Qué has hecho, que me hurtaste el corazón, y has traído a mis hijas como cautivas a espada?

27 ¿Por qué te escondiste para huir, y me hurtaste el corazón , y no me hiciste saber, para que yo te enviara con alegría y con canciones, con tamborín y vihuela?

28 Que aun no me dejaste besar mis hijos y mis hijas. Ahora locamente has hecho.

29 Poder hay en mi mano para haceros mal; mas el Dios de vuestro padre me habló anoche diciendo: Guárdate que no digas a Jacob ni bueno ni malo.

30 Y ya que te ibas, porque tenías deseo de la casa de tu padre, ¿por qué me hurtaste mis dioses?

31 Y Jacob respondió, y dijo a Labán: Porque tuve miedo; pues dije, por ventura me robarías tus hijas.

32 En quien hallares tus dioses, no viva; delante de nuestros hermanos reconoce lo que yo tuviere tuyo, y llévatelo. Jacob no sabía que Raquel los había hurtado.

33 Y entró Labán en la tienda de Jacob, y en la tienda de Lea, y en la tienda de las dos siervas, y no los halló, y salió de la tienda de Lea, y vino a la tienda de Raquel.

34 Y tomó Raquel los ídolos, y los puso en una albarda de un camello, y se sentó sobre ellos; y tentó Labán toda la tienda y no los halló.

35 Y ella dijo a su padre: No se enoje mi señor, porque no me puedo levantar delante de ti; porque tengo la costumbre de las mujeres. Y él buscó, pero no halló los ídolos.

36 Entonces Jacob se enojó, y riñó con Labán; y respondió Jacob y dijo a Labán: ¿Qué prevaricación es la mía? ¿Cuál es mi pecado, que has seguido en pos de mí?

37 Pues que has tentado todos mis alhajas, ¿qué has hallado de todas las alhajas de tu casa? Ponlo aquí delante de mis hermanos y tuyos, y juzguen entre nosotros ambos.

38 Estos veinte años he estado contigo; tus ovejas y tus cabras nunca abortaron, ni yo comí carnero de tus ovejas.

39 Nunca te traje lo arrebatado por las fieras; yo pagaba el daño; lo hurtado así de día como de noche, de mi mano lo requerías.

40 De día me consumía el calor, y de noche la helada, y el sueño se huía de mis ojos.

41 Así he estado veinte años en tu casa: catorce años te serví por tus dos hijas, y seis años por tu ganado; y has mudado mi salario diez veces.

42 Si el Dios de mi padre, el Dios de Abraham, y el temor de Isaac, no fuera conmigo, de cierto me enviarías ahora vacío; vio Dios mi aflicción y el trabajo de mis manos, y te reprendió anoche.

43 Y respondió Labán, y dijo a Jacob: Las hijas son hijas mías, y los hijos, son hijos míos, y las ovejas son mis ovejas, y todo lo que tú ves es mío; ¿y que puedo yo hacer hoy a estas mis hijas, o a sus hijos que ellas han dado a luz?

44 Ven pues ahora, hagamos alianza yo y tú; y sea en testimonio entre mí y entre ti.

45 Entonces Jacob tomó una piedra, y la levantó por título.

46 Y dijo Jacob a sus hermanos: Coged piedras. Y tomaron piedras e hicieron un majano; y comieron allí sobre aquel majano.

47 Y lo llamó Labán: Jegar Sahaduta; y lo llamó Jacob Galaad.

48 Porque Labán dijo: Este majano será testigo hoy entre mí y entre ti; por eso fue llamado su nombre Galaad;

49 y Mizpa, por cuanto dijo: Atalaye el SEÑOR entre mí y entre ti, cuando nos esconderemos el uno del otro.

50 Si afligieres mis hijas, o si tomares otras mujeres además de mis hijas, nadie está con nosotros; mira, Dios es testigo entre mí y entre ti.

51 Dijo más Labán a Jacob: He aquí este majano, y he aquí este título, que he erigido entre mí y ti.

52 Testigo sea este majano, y Testigo sea este título, que ni yo pasaré contra ti este majano, ni tú pasarás contra mí este majano ni este título, para mal.

53 El Dios de Abraham, y el Dios de Nacor juzgue entre nosotros, el Dios de sus padres. Y Jacob juró por el temor de Isaac su padre.

54 Y ofreció Jacob sacrificio en el monte, y llamó a sus hermanos a comer pan; y comieron pan, y durmieron en el monte.

55 Y madrugó Labán por la mañana, y besó a sus hijos y a sus hijas, y los bendijo; y volvió y se tornó a su lugar.

4072. Verses 4-13. And Jacob sent, and called Rachel and Leah to the field unto his flock. And he said unto them, I see your father’s faces, that he is not at all toward me as yesterday and the day before; and the God of my father hath been with me. And ye know that with all my strength I have served your father. And your father hath deceived me, and hath changed my reward ten ways, and God hath not suffered him to do evil with me. If he said thus, The party-colored shall be thy reward, then all the flock bore party-colored, speckled, and grizzled. And the angel of God said unto me in the dream, Jacob; and I said, Behold me! And he said, Lift up I pray thine eyes, and see all the he-goats which leap upon the flock, party-colored, speckled, and grizzled; for I have seen all that Laban doeth unto thee. I am the God of Bethel, where thou anointedst a pillar, where thou vowedst a vow unto me; now arise, go forth out of this land, and return unto the land of thy nativity. “And Jacob sent, and called Rachel and Leah to the field unto his flock,” signifies the adjunction of the affections of truth by the good now meant by “Jacob,” and application at the time when it departed; “and he said unto them, I see your father’s faces, that he is not at all toward me as yesterday and the day before,” signifies a change of state in the good signified by “Laban;” “and the God of my father hath been with me,” signifies that all things which He had were from the Divine; “and ye know that with all my strength I have served your father,” signifies that it was of His own power; “and your father hath deceived me; and hath changed my reward ten ways,” signifies the state of good toward Himself, when of Himself He applied the things of that good, and its very great change; “and God hath not suffered him to do evil with me,” signifies that still it could not hinder; “if he said thus, The speckled shall be thy reward, then all the flock bore speckled,” signifies His freedom, and that in His freedom those things were taken by the Lord, even to evils that were adjoined to the goods; “and if he said thus, The party-colored shall be thy reward, then all the flock bore party-colored,” signifies the same in the case of the falsities that were adjoined; “and God hath taken away the acquisition of your father, and hath given it to me,” signifies that these were from the Divine; “and it came to pass at the time that the flock grew warm,” signifies the ardor of affection that they might be conjoined; “that I lifted up mine eyes, and saw in a dream,” signifies the perception of natural good in obscurity; “and behold the he-goats which leaped upon the flock were party-colored, speckled, and grizzled,” signifies the effect that the natural good meant by “Jacob” should be imbued with such things from that source; “and the angel of God said unto me in the dream, Jacob; and I said, Behold me!” signifies perception from the Divine, and presence in that obscure state; “and he said, Lift up I pray thine eyes,” signifies attention thereto from that which was His own; “and see all the he-goats which leap upon the flock, party-colored, speckled, and grizzled,” signifies that such things should be introduced; “for I have seen all that Laban doeth unto thee,” signifies the own of the good signified by “Laban,” that it is not such as to act from itself; “I am the God of Bethel,” signifies the Divine in the natural; “where thou anointedst a pillar,” signifies where the good of truth is, and its boundary; “where thou vowedst a vow unto me,” signifies what is holy; “now arise,” signifies elevation; “go forth out of this land,” signifies separation from that good; “and return unto the land of thy nativity,” signifies conjunction with the Divine good of truth.

Genesis 31

Studija

   

1 He heard the words of Laban's sons, saying, "Jacob has taken away all that was our father's. From that which was our father's, has he gotten all this wealth."

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

3 Yahweh said to Jacob, "Return to the land of your fathers, and to your relatives, and I will be with you."

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

5 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.

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

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

8 If he said this, 'The speckled will be your wages,' then all the flock bore speckled. If he said this, 'The streaked will be your wages,' then all the flock bore streaked.

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

10 It happened during mating season that 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.

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

12 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.

13 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.'"

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

15 Aren't we accounted by him as foreigners? For he has sold us, and has also quite devoured our money.

16 For all the riches which God has taken away from our father, that is ours and our children's. Now then, whatever God has said to you, do."

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

18 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.

19 Now Laban had gone to shear his sheep: and Rachel stole the teraphim that were her father's.

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

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

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

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

24 God came to Laban, the Syrian, in a dream of the night, and said to him, "Take heed to yourself that you don't speak to Jacob either good or bad."

25 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.

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

27 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;

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

29 It is in the power of my hand to hurt you, but the God of your father spoke to me last night, saying, 'Take heed to yourself that you don't speak to Jacob either good or bad.'

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

31 Jacob answered Laban, "Because I was afraid, for I said, 'Lest you should take your daughters from me by force.'

32 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.

33 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.

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

35 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.

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

37 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.

38 "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.

39 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.

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

41 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.

42 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."

43 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: and what can I do this day to these my daughters, or to their children whom they have borne?

44 Now come, let us make a covenant, you and I; and let it be for a witness between me and you."

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

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

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

48 Laban said, "This heap is witness between me and you this day." Therefore it was named Galeed

49 and Mizpah, for he said, "Yahweh watch between me and you, when we are absent one from another.

50 If you afflict my daughters, or if you take wives besides my daughters, no man is with us; behold, God is witness between me and you."

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

52 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.

53 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.

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

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