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?
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.
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?
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.
被野兽撕裂的,我没有带来给你,是我自己赔上。无论是白日,是黑夜,被偷去的,你都向我索要。
That which was torn of beasts I brought not unto thee; I bare the loss of it; of my hand didst thou require it, whether stolen by day, or stolen by night.
若不是我父亲以撒所敬畏的神,就是亚伯拉罕的神与我同在,你如今必定打发我空手而去。神看见我的苦情和我的劳碌,就在昨夜责备你。
Except the God of my father, the God of Abraham, and the fear of Isaac, had been with me, surely thou hadst sent me away now empty. God hath seen mine affliction and the labour of my hands, and rebuked thee yesternight.
