So shall my righteousness answer for me in time to e； when it shall e for my hire before thy face： every one that is not speckled and spotted among the goats； and brown among the sheep； that shall be counted stolen with me。
30：34拉班说，好阿ⅵ我情愿照着你的话行。
And Laban said； Behold； I would it might be according to thy word。
30：35当日，拉班把有纹的，有斑的公山羊，有点的，有斑的，有杂白纹的母山羊，并黑色的绵羊，都挑出来，交在他儿子们的手下，
And he removed that day the he goats that were ringstraked and spotted； and all the she goats that were speckled and spotted； and every one that had some white in it； and all the brown among the sheep； and gave them into the hand of his sons。
30：36又使自己和雅各相离三天的路程。雅各就牧养拉班其馀的羊。
And he set three days' journey betwixt himself and Jacob： and Jacob fed the rest of Laban's flocks。
30：37雅各拿杨树，杏树，枫树的嫩枝，将皮剥成白纹，使枝子露出白的来，
And Jacob took him rods of green poplar； and of the hazel and chestnut tree； and pilled white strakes in them； and made the white appear which was in the rods。
30：38将剥了皮的枝子，对着羊群，插在饮羊的水沟里和水槽里，羊来喝的时候，牝牡配合。
And he set the rods which he had pilled before the flocks in the gutters in the watering troughs when the flocks came to drink； that they should conceive when they came to drink。
30：39羊对着枝子配合，就生下有纹的，有点的，有斑的来。
And the flocks conceived before the rods； and brought forth cattle ringstraked； speckled； and spotted。
30：40雅各把羊羔分出来，使拉班的羊与这有纹和黑色的羊相对，把自己的羊另放一处，不叫他和拉班的羊混杂。
And Jacob did separate the lambs； and set the faces of the flocks toward the ringstraked； and all the brown in the flock of Laban； and he put his own flocks by themselves； and put them not unto Laban's cattle。
30：41到羊群肥壮配合的时候，雅各就把枝子插在水沟里，使羊对着枝子配合。
And it came to pass； whensoever the stronger cattle did conceive； that Jacob laid the rods before the eyes of the cattle in the gutters； that they might conceive among the rods。
30：42只是到羊瘦弱配合的时候就不插枝子。这样，瘦弱的就归拉班，肥壮的就归雅各。
But when the cattle were feeble； he put them not in： so the feebler were Laban's； and the stronger Jacob's。
30：43于是雅各极其发大，得了许多的羊群，仆婢，骆驼，和驴。
And the man increased exceedingly； and had much cattle； and maidservants； and menservants； and camels； and asses。
旧约 创世记（Genesis） 第 31 章 （ 本篇共有 50 章 ） 7上一章 下一章8 目录
31：1雅各听见拉班的儿子们有话说，雅各把我们父亲所有的都夺了去，并藉着我们父亲的，得了这一切的荣耀（荣耀或作财）。
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。
31：2雅各见拉班的气色向他不如从前了。
And Jacob beheld the countenance of Laban； and； behold； it was not toward him as before。
31：3耶和华对雅各说，你要回你祖，你父之地，到你亲族那里去，我必与你同在。
And the LORD said unto Jacob； Return unto the land of thy fathers； and to thy kindred； and I will be with thee。
31：4雅各就打发人，叫拉结和利亚到田野羊群那里来，
And Jacob sent and called Rachel and Leah to the field unto his flock；
31：5对她们说，我看你们父亲的气色向我不如从前了。但我父亲的神向来与我同在。
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。
31：6你们也知道，我尽了我的力量服事你们的父亲。
And ye know that with all my power I have served your father。
31：7你们的父亲欺哄我，十次改了我的工价。然而神不容他害我。
And your father hath deceived me； and changed my wages ten times； but God suffered him not to hurt me。
31：8他若说，有点的归你作工价，羊群所生的都有点。他若说，有纹的归你作工价，羊群所生的都有纹。
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。
31：9这样，神把你们父亲的牲畜夺来赐给我了。
Thus God hath taken away the cattle of your father； and given them to me。
31：10羊配合的时候，我梦中举目铱看，见跳母羊的公羊都是有纹的，有点的，有花斑的。
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。
31：11神的使者在那梦中呼叫我说，雅各，我说，我在这里。
And the angel of God spake unto me in a dream； saying； Jacob： And I said； Here am I。
31：12他说，你举目观看，跳母羊的公羊都是有纹的，有点的，有花斑的。凡拉班向你所作的，我都看见了。
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。
31：13我是伯特利的神。你在那里用油浇过柱子，向我许过愿。现今你起来，离开这地，回你本地去吧。
I am the God of Bethel； 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。
31：14拉结和利亚回答雅各说，在我们父亲的家里还有我们可得的分吗，还有我们的产业吗。
And Rachel and Leah answered and said unto him； Is there yet any portion or inheritance for us in our father's house？
31：15我们不是被他当作外人吗。因为他卖了我们，吞了我们的价值。
Are we not counted of him strangers？ for he hath sold us； and hath quite devoured also our money。
31：16神从我们父亲所夺出来的一切财物，那就是我们和我们孩子们的。现今凡神所吩咐你的，你只管去行吧。
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。
31：17雅各起来，使他的儿子和妻子都骑上骆驼，
Then Jacob rose up； and set his sons and his wives upon camels；
31：18又带着他在巴旦亚兰所得的一切牲畜和财物，往迦南地，他父亲以撒那里去了。
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 Padanaram； for to go to Isaac his father in the land of Canaan。
31：19当时拉班剪羊毛去了，拉结偷了他父亲家中的神像。
And Laban went to shear his sheep： and Rachel had stolen the images that were her father's。
31：20雅各背着亚兰人拉班偷走了，并不告诉他，
And Jacob stole away unawares to Laban the Syrian； in that he told him not that he fled。
31：21就带着所有的逃跑。他起身过大河，面向基列山行去。
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。
31：22到第三日，有人告诉拉班，雅各逃跑了。
And it was told Laban on the third day that Jacob was fled。
31：23拉班带领他的众弟兄去追赶，追了七日，在基列山就追上了。
And he took his brethren with him； and pursued after him seven days' journey； and they overtook him in the mount Gilead。
31：24夜间，神到亚兰人拉班那里，在梦中对他说，你要小心，不可与雅各说好说歹。
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。
31：25拉班追上雅各。雅各在山上支搭帐棚。拉班和他的众弟兄也在基列山上支搭帐棚。
Then Laban overtook Jacob。 Now Jacob had pitched his tent in the mount： and Laban with his brethren pitched in the mount of Gilead。
31：26拉班对雅各说，你作的是什么事呢，你背着我偷走了，又把我的女儿们带了去，如同用刀剑掳去的一般。
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？
31：27你为什么暗暗地逃跑，偷着走，并不告诉我，叫我可以欢乐，唱歌，击鼓，弹琴地送你回去。
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？
31：28又不容我与外孙和女儿亲嘴。你所行的真是愚昧。
And hast not suffered me to kiss my sons and my daughters？ thou hast now done foolishly in so doing。
31：29我手中原有能力害你，只是你父亲的神昨夜对我说，你要小心，不可与雅各说好说歹。
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。
31：30现在你虽然想你父家，不得不去，为什么又偷了我的神像呢。
And now； though thou wouldest needs be gone； because thou sore longedst after thy father's house； yet wherefore hast thou stolen my gods？
31：31雅各回答拉班说，恐怕你把你的女儿从我夺去，所以我逃跑。
And Jacob answered and said to Laban； Because I was afraid： for I said； Peradventure thou wouldest take by force thy daughters from me。
31：32至于你的神像，你在谁那里搜出来，就不容谁存活。当着我们的众弟兄，你认一认，在我这里有什么东西是你的，就拿去。原来雅各不知道拉结偷了那些神像。
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。
31：33拉班进了雅各，利亚，并两个使女的帐棚，都没有搜出来，就从利亚的帐棚出来，进了拉结的帐棚。
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。
31：34拉结已经把神像藏在骆驼的驮篓里，便坐在上头。拉班摸遍了那帐棚，并没有摸着
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。
31：35拉结对她父亲说，现在我身上不便，不能在你面前起来，求我主不要生气。这样，拉班搜寻神像，竟没有搜出来。
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。
31：36雅各就发怒斥责拉班说，我有什么过犯，有什么罪恶，你竟这样火速地追我。
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？
31：37你摸遍了我一切的家具，你搜出什么来呢。可以放在你我弟兄面前，叫他们在你我中间辨别辨别。
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。
31：38我在你家这二十年，你的母绵羊，母山羊没有掉过胎。你群中的公羊，我没有吃过。
This twenty years have I been with thee； thy ewes and thy she goats have not cast their young；
