Genesis 31

The Latin Vulgate VUL

1 postquam autem audivit verba filiorum Laban dicentium tulit Iacob omnia quae fuerunt patris nostri et de illius facultate ditatus factus est inclitus

2 animadvertit quoque faciem Laban quod non esset erga se sicut heri et nudius tertius

3 maxime dicente sibi Domino revertere in terram patrum tuorum et ad generationem tuam eroque tecum

4 misit et vocavit Rahel et Liam in agrum ubi pascebat greges

5 dixitque eis video faciem patris vestri quod non sit erga me sicut heri et nudius tertius Deus autem patris mei fuit mecum

6 et ipsae nostis quod totis viribus meis servierim patri vestro

7 sed pater vester circumvenit me et mutavit mercedem meam decem vicibus et tamen non dimisit eum Deus ut noceret mihi

8 si quando dixit variae erunt mercedes tuae pariebant omnes oves varios fetus quando vero e contrario ait alba quaeque accipies pro mercede omnes greges alba pepererunt

9 tulitque Deus substantiam patris vestri et dedit mihi

10 postquam enim conceptus ovium tempus advenerat levavi oculos meos et vidi in somnis ascendentes mares super feminas varios et maculosos et diversorum colorum

11 dixitque angelus Dei ad me in somnis Iacob et ego respondi adsum

12 qui ait leva oculos tuos et vide universos masculos ascendentes super feminas varios respersos atque maculosos vidi enim omnia quae fecit tibi Laban

13 ego sum Deus Bethel ubi unxisti lapidem et votum vovisti mihi nunc ergo surge et egredere de terra hac revertens in terram nativitatis tuae

14 responderunt Rahel et Lia numquid habemus residui quicquam in facultatibus et hereditate domus patris nostri

15 nonne quasi alienas reputavit nos et vendidit comeditque pretium nostrum

16 sed Deus tulit opes patris nostri et nobis eas tradidit ac filiis nostris unde omnia quae praecepit fac

17 surrexit itaque Iacob et inpositis liberis et coniugibus suis super camelos abiit

18 tulitque omnem substantiam et greges et quicquid in Mesopotamiam quaesierat pergens ad Isaac patrem suum in terram Chanaan

19 eo tempore Laban ierat ad tondendas oves et Rahel furata est idola patris sui

20 noluitque Iacob confiteri socero quod fugeret

21 cumque abisset tam ipse quam omnia quae iuris eius erant et amne transmisso pergeret contra montem Galaad

22 nuntiatum est Laban die tertio quod fugeret Iacob

23 qui adsumptis fratribus suis persecutus est eum diebus septem et conprehendit in monte Galaad

24 viditque in somnis dicentem sibi Dominum cave ne quicquam aspere loquaris contra Iacob

25 iamque Iacob extenderat in monte tabernaculum cum ille consecutus eum cum fratribus suis in eodem monte Galaad fixit tentorium

26 et dixit ad Iacob quare ita egisti ut clam me abigeres filias meas quasi captivas gladio

27 cur ignorante me fugere voluisti nec indicare mihi ut prosequerer te cum gaudio et canticis et tympanis et cithara

28 non es passus ut oscularer filios meos ac filias stulte operatus es et nunc

29 valet quidem manus mea reddere tibi malum sed Deus patris vestri heri dixit mihi cave ne loquaris cum Iacob quicquam durius

30 esto ad tuos ire cupiebas et desiderio tibi erat domus patris tui cur furatus es deos meos

31 respondit Iacob quod inscio te profectus sum timui ne violenter auferres filias tuas

32 quod autem furti arguis apud quemcumque inveneris deos tuos necetur coram fratribus nostris scrutare quicquid tuorum apud me inveneris et aufer haec dicens ignorabat quod Rahel furata esset idola

33 ingressus itaque Laban tabernaculum Iacob et Liae et utriusque famulae non invenit cumque intrasset tentorium Rahelis

34 illa festinans abscondit idola subter stramen cameli et sedit desuper scrutantique omne tentorium et nihil invenienti

35 ait ne irascatur dominus meus quod coram te adsurgere nequeo quia iuxta consuetudinem feminarum nunc accidit mihi sic delusa sollicitudo quaerentis est

36 tumensque Iacob cum iurgio ait quam ob culpam meam et ob quod peccatum sic exarsisti post me

37 et scrutatus es omnem supellectilem meam quid invenisti de cuncta substantia domus tuae pone hic coram fratribus meis et fratribus tuis et iudicent inter me et te

38 idcirco viginti annis fui tecum oves tuae et caprae steriles non fuerunt arietes gregis tui non comedi

39 nec captum a bestia ostendi tibi ego damnum omne reddebam quicquid furto perierat a me exigebas

40 die noctuque aestu urebar et gelu fugiebat somnus ab oculis meis

41 sic per viginti annos in domo tua servivi tibi quattuordecim pro filiabus et sex pro gregibus tuis inmutasti quoque mercedem meam decem vicibus

42 nisi Deus patris mei Abraham et Timor Isaac adfuisset mihi forsitan modo nudum me dimisisses adflictionem meam et laborem manuum mearum respexit Deus et arguit te heri

43 respondit ei Laban filiae et filii et greges tui et omnia quae cernis mea sunt quid possum facere filiis et nepotibus meis

44 veni ergo et ineamus foedus ut sit testimonium inter me et te

45 tulit itaque Iacob lapidem et erexit illum in titulum

46 dixitque fratribus suis adferte lapides qui congregantes fecerunt tumulum comederuntque super eum

47 quem vocavit Laban tumulus Testis et Iacob acervum Testimonii uterque iuxta proprietatem linguae suae

48 dixitque Laban tumulus iste testis erit inter me et te hodie et idcirco appellatum est nomen eius Galaad id est tumulus Testis

49 intueatur Dominus et iudicet inter nos quando recesserimus a nobis

50 si adflixeris filias meas et si introduxeris uxores alias super eas nullus sermonis nostri testis est absque Deo qui praesens respicit

51 dixitque rursus ad Iacob en tumulus hic et lapis quem erexi inter me et te

52 testis erit tumulus inquam iste et lapis sint in testimonio si aut ego transiero illum pergens ad te aut tu praeterieris malum mihi cogitans

53 Deus Abraham et Deus Nahor iudicet inter nos Deus patris eorum iuravit Iacob per Timorem patris sui Isaac

54 immolatisque victimis in monte vocavit fratres suos ut ederent panem qui cum comedissent manserunt ibi

55 Laban vero de nocte consurgens osculatus est filios et filias suas et benedixit illis reversus in locum suum

English Standard Version ESV

1 Now Jacob heard that the sons of Laban were saying, “Jacob has taken all that was our father’s, and from what was our father’s he has gained all this wealth. ”

2 And Jacob saw that Laban did not regard him with favor as before.

3 Then the Lord said to Jacob, “Return to the land of your fathers and to your kindred, and I will be with you. ”

4 So Jacob sent and called Rachel and Leah into the field where his flock was

5 and said to them, “I see that your father does not regard me with favor as he did before. But the God of my father has been with me.

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

7 yet your father has cheated me and changed my wages ten times. But God did not permit him to harm me.

8 If he said, ‘The spotted shall be your wages, ’ then all the flock bore spotted; and if he said, ‘The striped shall be your wages, ’ then all the flock bore striped.

9 Thus God has taken away the livestock of your father and given them to me.

10 In the breeding season of the flock I lifted up my eyes and saw in a dream that the goats that mated with the flock were striped, spotted, and mottled.

11 Then the angel of God said to me in the dream, ‘Jacob, ’ and I said, ‘Here I am! ’

12 And he said, ‘Lift up your eyes and see, all the goats that mate with the flock are striped, spotted, and mottled, for I have seen all that Laban is doing to you.

13 I am the God of Bethel, where you anointed a pillar and made a vow to me. Now arise, go out from this land and return to the land of your kindred. ’”

14 Then Rachel and Leah answered and said to him, “Is there any portion or inheritance left to us in our father’s house?

15 Are we not regarded by him as foreigners? For he has sold us, and he has indeed devoured our money.

16 All the wealth that God has taken away from our father belongs to us and to our children. Now then, whatever God has said to you, do. ”

17 So Jacob arose and set his sons and his wives on camels.

18 He drove away all his livestock, all his property that he had gained, the livestock in his possession that he had acquired in Paddan-aram, to go to the land of Canaan to his father Isaac.

19 Laban had gone to shear his sheep, and Rachel stole her father’s household gods.

20 And Jacob tricked Laban the Aramean, by not telling him that he intended to flee.

21 He fled with all that he had and arose and crossed the Euphrates, and set his face toward the hill country of Gilead.

22 When it was told Laban on the third day that Jacob had fled,

23 he took his kinsmen with him and pursued him for seven days and followed close after him into the hill country of Gilead.

24 But God came to Laban the Aramean in a dream by night and said to him, “Be careful not to say anything to Jacob, either good or bad. ”

25 And Laban overtook Jacob. Now Jacob had pitched his tent in the hill country, and Laban with his kinsmen pitched tents in the hill country of Gilead.

26 And Laban said to Jacob, “What have you done, that you have tricked me and driven away my daughters like captives of the sword?

27 Why did you flee secretly and trick me, and did not tell me, so that I might have sent you away with mirth and songs, with tambourine and lyre?

28 And why did you not permit me to kiss my sons and my daughters farewell? Now you have done foolishly.

29 It is in my power to do you harm. But the God of your father spoke to me last night, saying, ‘Be careful not to say anything to Jacob, either good or bad. ’

30 And now you have gone away because you longed greatly for your father’s house, but why did you steal my gods? ”

31 Jacob answered and said to Laban, “Because I was afraid, for I thought that you would take your daughters from me by force.

32 Anyone with whom you find your gods shall not live. In the presence of our kinsmen point out what I have that is yours, and take it. ” Now Jacob did not know that Rachel had stolen them.

33 So Laban went into Jacob’s tent and into Leah’s tent and into the tent of the two female servants, but he did not find them. And he went out of Leah’s tent and entered Rachel’s.

34 Now Rachel had taken the household gods and put them in the camel’s saddle and sat on them. Laban felt all about the tent, but did not find them.

35 And she said to her father, “Let not my lord be angry that I cannot rise before you, for the way of women is upon me. ” So he searched but did not find the household gods.

36 Then Jacob became angry and berated Laban. Jacob said to Laban, “What is my offense? What is my sin, that you have hotly pursued me?

37 For you have felt through all my goods; what have you found of all your household goods? Set it here before my kinsmen and your kinsmen, that they may decide between us two.

38 These twenty years I have been with you. Your ewes and your female goats have not miscarried, and I have not eaten the rams of your flocks.

39 What was torn by wild beasts I did not bring to you. I bore the loss of it myself. From my hand you required it, whether stolen by day or stolen by night.

40 There I was: by day the heat consumed me, and the cold 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 If the God of my father, the God of Abraham and the Fear of Isaac, had not been on my side, surely now you would have sent me away empty-handed. God saw my affliction and the labor of my hands and rebuked you last night. ”

43 Then Laban answered and said to Jacob, “The daughters are my daughters, the children are my children, the flocks are my flocks, and all that you see is mine. But what can I do this day for these my daughters or for their children whom they have borne?

44 Come now, let us make a covenant, you and I. And let it be a witness between you and me. ”

45 So Jacob took a stone and set it up as a pillar.

46 And Jacob said to his kinsmen, “Gather stones. ” And they took stones and made a heap, and they ate there by the heap.

47 Laban called it Jegar-sahadutha, but Jacob called it Galeed.

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

49 and Mizpah, for he said, “The Lord watch between you and me, when we are out of one another’s sight.

50 If you oppress my daughters, or if you take wives besides my daughters, although no one is with us, see, God is witness between you and me. ”

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

52 This heap is a witness, and the pillar is a witness, that I will not pass over this heap to you, and you will not pass over this heap and this pillar to me, to do harm.

53 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 and Jacob offered a sacrifice in the hill country and called his kinsmen to eat bread. They ate bread and spent the night in the hill country.

55 Early in the morning Laban arose and kissed his grandchildren and his daughters and blessed them. Then Laban departed and returned home.
