雅各思念故鄉

31 雅各聽見拉班的眾子談論,說:“雅各把我們父親所有的都奪去了,他這一切財物,都是從我們父親的財產那裡得來的。” 雅各也注意到拉班的臉色,對自己不像從前那樣了。 那時,耶和華對雅各說:“你要回到你列祖之地,到你的親族那裡去,我必與你同在。” 雅各就派人把拉結和利亞叫到田間的羊群那裡去, 對她們說:“我注意到你們父親的臉色,對我不像從前那樣了;但是我父親的 神與我同在。 我盡了我的力量來服事你們的父親,這是你們知道的; 你們的父親卻欺騙了我,十次更改了我的工資;但 神不容許他傷害我。 如果他說:‘有斑點的算是你的工資’,羊群所生的全部都有斑點;如果他說:‘有條紋的算是你的工資’,羊群所生的全部有條紋。 這樣, 神把你們父親的牲畜奪來,賜給我了。 10 有一次,羊群交配的時候,我在夢中舉目觀看,看見爬在母羊身上的公山羊,都是有條紋、有斑點和有花斑的。 11  神的使者在夢中對我說:‘雅各。’我說:‘我在這裡。’ 12 他說:‘你舉目觀看,所有爬在母羊身上的公山羊,都是有條紋、有斑點和有花斑的,因為拉班向你所作的一切,我都看見了。 13 我就是伯特利的 神,你曾經在那裡用油膏過石柱,又在那裡向我許過願。現在你要起程,離開這地,回到你的親族那裡去吧。’” 14 拉結和利亞回答雅各,說:“在我們父親的家裡,我們還有可得的分和產業嗎? 15 他不是把我們看作外人嗎?因為他把我們賣了,吞沒了我們的身價。 16  神從我們父親奪回來的一切財物,都是屬於我們和我們的兒女的。現在 神吩咐你的一切,你只管作吧。”

Jacob Flees from Laban

31 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.” And Jacob saw (A)that Laban did not regard him with favor as before. Then the Lord said to Jacob, (B)“Return to the land of your fathers and to your kindred, and I will be with you.”

So Jacob sent and called Rachel and Leah into the field where his flock was and said to them, (C)“I see that your father does not regard me with favor as he did before. But the God of my father (D)has been with me. (E)You know that I have served your father with all my strength, yet your father has cheated me and changed my wages (F)ten times. But God did not permit him to harm me. If he said, (G)‘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. Thus God has (H)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)I have seen all that Laban is doing to you. 13 I am the God of Bethel, (J)where you anointed a pillar and made a vow to me. Now (K)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 (L)any portion or inheritance left to us in our father's house? 15 Are we not regarded by him as foreigners? For (M)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.”
