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.
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,
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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?
