LXX	NEW JERUSALEM
1 ηκουσεν δε ιακωβ τα ρηματα των υιων λαβαν λεγοντων ειληφεν ιακωβ παντα τα του πατρος ημων και εκ των του πατρος ημων πεποιηκεν πασαν την δοξαν ταυτην	1 Jacob learned that Laban's sons were saying, 'Jacob has taken everything that belonged to our father;it is at our father's expense that he has acquired al this wealth,'
2 και ειδεν ιακωβ το προσωπον του λαβαν και ιδου ουκ ην προς αυτον ως εχθες και τριτην ημεραν	2 and Jacob also saw that Laban's manner towards him was not as it had been in the past.
3 ειπεν δε κυριος προς ιακωβ αποστρεφου εις την γην του πατρος σου και εις την γενεαν σου και εσομαι μετα σου	3 Yahweh said to Jacob, 'Go back to the land of your ancestors, where you were born, and I shal bewith you.'
4 αποστειλας δε ιακωβ εκαλεσεν ραχηλ και λειαν εις το πεδιον ου τα ποιμνια	4 So Jacob had Rachel and Leah cal ed to the fields where his flocks were,
5 και ειπεν αυταις ορω εγω το προσωπον του πατρος υμων οτι ουκ εστιν προς εμου ως εχθες και τριτην ημεραν ο δε θεος του πατρος μου ην μετ' εμου	5 and he said to them, 'I can see that your father's manner towards me is not as it was in the past, butthe God of my father has been with me.
6 και αυται δε οιδατε οτι εν παση τη ισχυι μου δεδουλευκα τω πατρι υμων	6 You yourselves know that I have worked for your father with al my might,
7 ο δε πατηρ υμων παρεκρουσατο με και ηλλαξεν τον μισθον μου των δεκα αμνων και ουκ εδωκεν αυτω ο θεος κακοποιησαι με	7 and that your father has tricked me, changing my wages ten times over, and yet God has not al owedhim to harm me.
8 εαν ουτως ειπη τα ποικιλα εσται σου μισθος και τεξεται παντα τα προβατα ποικιλα εαν δε ειπη τα λευκα εσται σου μισθος και τεξεται παντα τα προβατα λευκα	8 Whenever he said, "The spotted ones will be your wages," all the animals produced spotted young;whenever he said, "The striped ones wil be your wages," al the animals produced striped young.
9 και αφειλατο ο θεος παντα τα κτηνη του πατρος υμων και εδωκεν μοι αυτα	9 Thus God has reclaimed your father's livestock and given it to me.
10 και εγενετο ηνικα ενεκισσων τα προβατα και ειδον τοις οφθαλμοις αυτα εν τω υπνω και ιδου οι τραγοι και οι κριοι αναβαινοντες ησαν επι τα προβατα και τας αιγας διαλευκοι και ποικιλοι και σποδοειδεις ραντοι	10 Once, when the animals were on heat, I suddenly saw in a dream that the he-goats covering thefemales were striped or spotted or piebald.
11 και ειπεν μοι ο αγγελος του θεου καθ' υπνον ιακωβ εγω δε ειπα τι εστιν	11 In the dream the angel of God cal ed to me, "Jacob!" I said, "Here I am."
12 και ειπεν αναβλεψον τοις οφθαλμοις σου και ιδε τους τραγους και τους κριους αναβαινοντας επι τα προβατα και τας αιγας διαλευκους και ποικιλους και σποδοειδεις ραντους εωρακα γαρ οσα σοι λαβαν ποιει	12 He said, "Now take note: al the he-goats covering the females are striped or spotted or piebald -- forI too have noted all the things that Laban has been doing to you,
13 εγω ειμι ο θεος ο οφθεις σοι εν τοπω θεου ου ηλειψας μοι εκει στηλην και ηυξω μοι εκει ευχην νυν ουν αναστηθι και εξελθε εκ της γης ταυτης και απελθε εις την γην της γενεσεως σου και εσομαι μετα σου	13 I am the God who appeared to you at Bethel, where you poured oil on a pillar and made a vow tome. On your feet, then, leave this country and return to the land of your birth." '
14 και αποκριθεισα ραχηλ και λεια ειπαν αυτω μη εστιν ημιν ετι μερις η κληρονομια εν τω οικω του πατρος ημων	14 In answer Rachel and Leah said to him, 'Are we stil likely to inherit anything from our father's estate?
15 ουχ ως αι αλλοτριαι λελογισμεθα αυτω πεπρακεν γαρ ημας και κατεφαγεν καταβρωσει το αργυριον ημων	15 Does he not think of us as outsiders now? For not only has he sold us, but he has completelyswal owed up the money he got for us.
16 παντα τον πλουτον και την δοξαν ην αφειλατο ο θεος του πατρος ημων ημιν εσται και τοις τεκνοις ημων νυν ουν οσα ειρηκεν σοι ο θεος ποιει	16 Al the wealth that God has reclaimed from our father belonged to us and our children in any case.So do whatever God has told you.'
17 αναστας δε ιακωβ ελαβεν τας γυναικας αυτου και τα παιδια αυτου επι τας καμηλους	17 Forthwith, Jacob put his children and his wives on camels,
18 και απηγαγεν παντα τα υπαρχοντα αυτου και πασαν την αποσκευην αυτου ην περιεποιησατο εν τη μεσοποταμια και παντα τα αυτου απελθειν προς ισαακ τον πατερα αυτου εις γην χανααν	18 and drove off all his livestock -- with al the possessions he had acquired, the livestock belonging tohim which he had acquired in Paddan-Aram -- to go to his father Isaac in Canaan.
19 λαβαν δε ωχετο κειραι τα προβατα αυτου εκλεψεν δε ραχηλ τα ειδωλα του πατρος αυτης	19 Laban was away, shearing his sheep; Rachel in the meanwhile had appropriated the household idolsbelonging to her father,
20 εκρυψεν δε ιακωβ λαβαν τον συρον του μη αναγγειλαι αυτω οτι αποδιδρασκει	20 and Jacob had outwitted Laban the Aramaean so that he would not be forewarned of his flight.
21 και απεδρα αυτος και παντα τα αυτου και διεβη τον ποταμον και ωρμησεν εις το ορος γαλααδ	21 Thus he got away with all he had. He was soon across the River and heading for Mount Gilead.
22 ανηγγελη δε λαβαν τω συρω τη τριτη ημερα οτι απεδρα ιακωβ	22 Three days later Laban was told that Jacob had fled.
23 και παραλαβων παντας τους αδελφους αυτου μεθ' εαυτου εδιωξεν οπισω αυτου οδον ημερων επτα και κατελαβεν αυτον εν τω ορει τω γαλααδ	23 Taking his brothers with him, he pursued him for seven days and overtook him at Mount Gilead.
24 ηλθεν δε ο θεος προς λαβαν τον συρον καθ' υπνον την νυκτα και ειπεν αυτω φυλαξαι σεαυτον μηποτε λαλησης μετα ιακωβ πονηρα	24 But God appeared to Laban the Aramaean in a dream that night and said to him, 'On no account sayanything whatever to Jacob.'
25 και κατελαβεν λαβαν τον ιακωβ ιακωβ δε επηξεν την σκηνην αυτου εν τω ορει λαβαν δε εστησεν τους αδελφους αυτου εν τω ορει γαλααδ	25 Laban caught up with Jacob, who had pitched his tent in the hil s; and Laban pitched camp on MountGilead.
26 ειπεν δε λαβαν τω ιακωβ τι εποιησας ινα τι κρυφη απεδρας και εκλοποφορησας με και απηγαγες τας θυγατερας μου ως αιχμαλωτιδας μαχαιρα	26 Laban said to Jacob, 'What do you mean by outwitting me and then carrying off my daughters likeprisoners of war?
27 και ει ανηγγειλας μοι εξαπεστειλα αν σε μετ' ευφροσυνης και μετα μουσικων τυμπανων και κιθαρας	27 Why did you flee in secret, stealing away without letting me know, so that I could send you on yourway rejoicing, with songs and the music of tambourines and harps?
28 ουκ ηξιωθην καταφιλησαι τα παιδια μου και τας θυγατερας μου νυν δε αφρονως επραξας	28 You did not even let me kiss my sons and daughters. You have behaved like a fool.
29 και νυν ισχυει η χειρ μου κακοποιησαι σε ο δε θεος του πατρος σου εχθες ειπεν προς με λεγων φυλαξαι σεαυτον μηποτε λαλησης μετα ιακωβ πονηρα	29 It is in my power to harm you, but the God of your father said to me last night, "On no account sayanything whatever to Jacob."
30 νυν ουν πεπορευσαι επιθυμια γαρ επεθυμησας απελθειν εις τον οικον του πατρος σου ινα τι εκλεψας τους θεους μου	30 Now it may be you real y went because you had such a longing for your father's house, but why didyou steal my gods?'
31 αποκριθεις δε ιακωβ ειπεν τω λαβαν ειπα γαρ μηποτε αφελης τας θυγατερας σου απ' εμου και παντα τα εμα	31 Jacob answered Laban, 'I was afraid, thinking you were going to snatch your daughters from me.
32 επιγνωθι τι εστιν των σων παρ' εμοι και λαβε και ουκ επεγνω παρ' αυτω ουθεν και ειπεν αυτω ιακωβ παρ' ω εαν ευρης τους θεους σου ου ζησεται εναντιον των αδελφων ημων ουκ ηδει δε ιακωβ οτι ραχηλ η γυνη αυτου εκλεψεν αυτους	32 But whoever is found in possession of your gods shall not remain alive. In the presence of ourbrothers, examine for yourself what I have, and take what is yours.' Now Jacob did not know that Rachel hadappropriated them.
33 εισελθων δε λαβαν ηρευνησεν εις τον οικον λειας και ουχ ευρεν και εξελθων εκ του οικου λειας ηρευνησεν τον οικον ιακωβ και εν τω οικω των δυο παιδισκων και ουχ ευρεν εισηλθεν δε και εις τον οικον ραχηλ	33 Laban went into Jacob's tent, and then into Leah's tent and the tent of the two slave-girls, but hefound nothing. He came out of Leah's tent and went into Rachel's.
34 ραχηλ δε ελαβεν τα ειδωλα και ενεβαλεν αυτα εις τα σαγματα της καμηλου και επεκαθισεν αυτοις	34 Now Rachel had taken the household idols and put them inside a camel cushion, and was sitting onthem. Laban went through everything in the tent but found nothing.
35 και ειπεν τω πατρι αυτης μη βαρεως φερε κυριε ου δυναμαι αναστηναι ενωπιον σου οτι το κατ' εθισμον των γυναικων μοι εστιν ηρευνησεν δε λαβαν εν ολω τω οικω και ουχ ευρεν τα ειδωλα	35 Then Rachel said to her father, 'Do not look angry, my lord, because I cannot rise in your presence,for I am as women are from time to time.' Laban searched but did not find the idols.
36 ωργισθη δε ιακωβ και εμαχεσατο τω λαβαν αποκριθεις δε ιακωβ ειπεν τω λαβαν τι το αδικημα μου και τι το αμαρτημα μου οτι κατεδιωξας οπισω μου	36 Then Jacob lost his temper and took Laban to task. And Jacob said to Laban, 'What is my offence,what is my crime, for you to have hounded me like this?
37 και οτι ηρευνησας παντα τα σκευη μου τι ευρες απο παντων των σκευων του οικου σου θες ωδε εναντιον των αδελφων μου και των αδελφων σου και ελεγξατωσαν ανα μεσον των δυο ημων	37 You have gone through al my belongings; have you found anything belonging to your household?Produce it here in the presence of my brothers and yours, and let them decide between the two of us.
38 ταυτα μοι εικοσι ετη εγω ειμι μετα σου τα προβατα σου και αι αιγες σου ουκ ητεκνωθησαν κριους των προβατων σου ου κατεφαγον	38 In al the twenty years I was under you, your ewes and your she-goats never miscarried, and I neverate rams from your flock.
39 θηριαλωτον ουκ ανενηνοχα σοι εγω απετιννυον παρ' εμαυτου κλεμματα ημερας και κλεμματα νυκτος	39 Those mauled I never brought back to you, but bore the loss myself. You demanded compensationfrom me, whether the animal was stolen in daylight or at night.
40 εγινομην της ημερας συγκαιομενος τω καυματι και παγετω της νυκτος και αφιστατο ο υπνος απο των οφθαλμων μου	40 In the daytime the heat devoured me, and frost at night; I never had a good night's sleep.
41 ταυτα μοι εικοσι ετη εγω ειμι εν τη οικια σου εδουλευσα σοι δεκα τεσσαρα ετη αντι των δυο θυγατερων σου και εξ ετη εν τοις προβατοις σου και παρελογισω τον μισθον μου δεκα αμνασιν	41 It was like this for the twenty years I spent in your household. Fourteen years I slaved for you for your two daughters, and six years for your flock, since you changed my wages ten times over.
42 ει μη ο θεος του πατρος μου αβρααμ και ο φοβος ισαακ ην μοι νυν αν κενον με εξαπεστειλας την ταπεινωσιν μου και τον κοπον των χειρων μου ειδεν ο θεος και ηλεγξεν σε εχθες	42 If the God of my father, the God of Abraham, the Kinsman of Isaac, had not been with me, you wouldhave sent me away empty-handed. But God saw my plight and my labours, and last night he deliveredjudgement.'
43 αποκριθεις δε λαβαν ειπεν τω ιακωβ αι θυγατερες θυγατερες μου και οι υιοι υιοι μου και τα κτηνη κτηνη μου και παντα οσα συ ορας εμα εστιν και των θυγατερων μου τι ποιησω ταυταις σημερον η τοις τεκνοις αυτων οις ετεκον	43 Laban replied to Jacob, 'These daughters are my daughters and these children are my children, thislivestock is my livestock: everything you see belongs to me. But what can I do today about my daughters here orabout the children they have borne?
44 νυν ουν δευρο διαθωμεθα διαθηκην εγω και συ και εσται εις μαρτυριον ανα μεσον εμου και σου ειπεν δε αυτω ιδου ουθεις μεθ' ημων εστιν ιδε ο θεος μαρτυς ανα μεσον εμου και σου	44 So come, let us make a pact, you and me . . . , and let that serve as a witness between us.'
45 λαβων δε ιακωβ λιθον εστησεν αυτον στηλην	45 Jacob then took a stone and set it up as a memorial.
46 ειπεν δε ιακωβ τοις αδελφοις αυτου συλλεγετε λιθους και συνελεξαν λιθους και εποιησαν βουνον και εφαγον και επιον εκει επι του βουνου και ειπεν αυτω λαβαν ο βουνος ουτος μαρτυρει ανα μεσον εμου και σου σημερον	46 Jacob said to his kinsmen, 'Col ect some stones,' and gathering some stones they made a cairn.They had a meal there, on the cairn, and
47 και εκαλεσεν αυτον λαβαν βουνος της μαρτυριας ιακωβ δε εκαλεσεν αυτον βουνος μαρτυς	47 Laban cal ed it Jegar-Sahadutha while Jacob called it Galeed.
48 ειπεν δε λαβαν τω ιακωβ ιδου ο βουνος ουτος και η στηλη αυτη ην εστησα ανα μεσον εμου και σου μαρτυρει ο βουνος ουτος και μαρτυρει η στηλη αυτη δια τουτο εκληθη το ονομα αυτου βουνος μαρτυρει	48 Laban said, 'May this cairn be a witness between us today.' That is why he named it Galeed,
49 και η ορασις ην ειπεν επιδοι ο θεος ανα μεσον εμου και σου οτι αποστησομεθα ετερος απο του ετερου	49 and also Mizpah, because he said, 'Let Yahweh act as watchman between us when we are nolonger in sight of each other.
50 ει ταπεινωσεις τας θυγατερας μου ει λημψη γυναικας επι ταις θυγατρασιν μου ορα ουθεις μεθ' ημων εστιν	50 If you il -treat my daughters or marry other women besides my daughters, even though no one bewith us, remember: God is witness between us.'
51 -	51 Then Laban said to Jacob, 'Here is this cairn I have thrown up between us, and here the pil ar.
52 εαν τε γαρ εγω μη διαβω προς σε μηδε συ διαβης προς με τον βουνον τουτον και την στηλην ταυτην επι κακια	52 This cairn is a witness, and the pil ar is a witness, that I am not to cross to your side of this cairn andyou are not to cross to my side of this cairn and pillar, with hostile intent.
53 ο θεος αβρααμ και ο θεος ναχωρ κρινει ανα μεσον ημων και ωμοσεν ιακωβ κατα του φοβου του πατρος αυτου ισαακ	53 May the God of Abraham and the god of Nahor judge between us.' Then Jacob swore by theKinsman of his father Isaac.
54 και εθυσεν ιακωβ θυσιαν εν τω ορει και εκαλεσεν τους αδελφους αυτου και εφαγον και επιον και εκοιμηθησαν εν τω ορει	54 He offered a sacrifice on the mountain and invited his kinsmen to the meal. They ate the meal, andpassed the night on the mountain.
