雅各思歸故土

（創31:1-16）

雅各思念故鄉

（創31:1-21）

雅各思歸故土

（創31:1-16）

創31:1（CUV）雅各聽見拉斑的兒子們有話說、雅各把我們父親所有的都奪了去、並藉著我們父親的、得了這一切的榮耀。〔『榮耀』或作『財』〕

創31:1（NCV）雅各聽見拉斑的眾子談論，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裏得來的。」

創31:1（CLV）雅各聽見拉班的兒子說：「爸爸所有的，都給雅各奪去了！他的財富都是靠我父親得來的。」

創31:2（CUV）雅各見拉班的氣色向他不如從前了。

創31:2（NCV）雅各也注意到拉班的臉色，對自己不像從前那樣了。

創31:2（CLV）雅各也發覺拉班對他的態度已經沒有以前那麼親切了。

創31:3（CUV）耶和華對雅各說、你要回你祖你父之地、到你親族那裏去、我必與你同在。

創31:3（NCV）那時，耶和華對雅各說：「你要回到你列祖之地，到你的親族那裏去，我必與你同在。」

創31:3（CLV）上帝對雅各說：「回到你的祖家去吧！我一定會與你同在的。」

創31:4（CUV）雅各就打發人、叫拉結和利亞到田野羊群那裏來．

創31:4（NCV）雅各就派人把拉結和利亞叫到田間的羊群那裏去，

創31:4（CLV）於是，雅各就派人把拉結和利亞叫到牧場來，

創31:5（CUV）對他們說、我看你們父親的氣色向我不如從前了．但我父親的　神向來與我同在。

創31:5（NCV）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。

創31:5（CLV）跟她們商量，說：「我感到你父親對我已經大不如前了，幸好我父親的上帝常與我同在。

創31:6（CUV）你們也知道、我盡了我的力量服事你們的父親。

創31:6（NCV）我盡了我的力量來服事你們的父親，這是你們知道的；

創31:6（CLV）你們也知道我是怎樣盡心盡力地替你父親工作的，

創31:7（CUV）你們的父親欺哄我、十次改了我的工價．然而　神不容他害我。

創31:7（NCV）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。

創31:7（CLV）但他卻欺騙了我，把我的工酬更改了有十次之多；然而，上帝卻不讓他傷害我。

創31:8（CUV）他若說、有點的歸你作工價、羊群所生的都有點．他若說、有紋的歸你作工價、羊群所生的都有紋。

創31:8（NCV）如果他說：『有班點的算是你的工資』，羊群所生的全部都有班點，如果他說：『有紋條的算是你的工資』，羊群所生的全部有條紋。

創31:8（CLV）如果他說把有點的羊給我當酬勞，羊群生的就都是有點的；如果他說把有紋的給我，羊群所生的就都是有紋的。

創31:9（CUV）這樣、　神把你們父親的牲畜奪來賜給我了。

創31:9（NCV）這樣，　神把你們父親的牲畜奪來，賜給我了。

創31:9（CLV）上帝就這樣把你父親的牲畜交給我了。

創31:10（CUV）羊配合的時候、我夢中舉目一看、見跳母羊的公羊都是有紋的、有點的、有花斑的。

創31:10（NCV）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。

創31:10（CLV）有一次，那時正是交配的季節，我在夢中看見所有和母羊交配的公羊，都是有條紋、有斑點和花斑的。

創31:11（CUV）　神的使者在那夢中呼叫我說、雅各、我說、我在這裏。

創31:11（NCV）　神的使者在夢中對我說：『雅各。』我說：『我在這裏。』

創31:11（CLV）上帝的使者在夢中叫我，我就說：『我在這裏。』

創31:12（CUV）他說、你舉目觀看、跳母羊的公羊都是有紋的、有點的、有花斑的．凡拉班向你所作的、我都看見了。

創31:12（NCV）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。

創31:12（CLV）他說：『拉班對你的所作所為，我早已經看見了，現在你留心看看，和母羊交配的公羊都是有紋、有斑點和有花斑的。

創31:13（CUV）我是伯特利的　神．你在那裏用油澆過柱子、向我許過願．現今你起來離開這地、回你本地去罷。

創31:13（NCV）我就是伯特利的　神，你曾經在那裏用油膏過石柱，又在那裏向我許過願。現在你要起程，離開這地，回到你的親族那裏去吧。』」

創31:13（CLV）我就是你在伯特利所遇見的上帝。你曾經在那裏立了柱子澆過油，又向我許願要事奉我，現在，你要離開這裏，回到你出生的地方去。』」

創31:14（CUV）拉結和利亞回答雅各說、在我們父親的家裏還有我們可得的分麼、還有我們的產業麼。

創31:14（NCV）拉結和利亞回答雅各，說：「在我們父親的家裏，我們還有可得的分和產業嗎﹖

創31:14（CLV）拉結和利亞異口同聲地回答說：「好啊！反正爸爸的家產也不會留給我們，

創31:15（CUV）我們不是被他當作外人麼．因為他賣了我們、吞了我們的價值。

創31:15（NCV）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。

創31:15（CLV）我們不是早已經被看為外人一樣了嗎？他把我們賣掉，又把賣我們所得的身價全部吞沒了，

創31:16（CUV）　神從我們父親所奪出來的一切財物、那就是我們、和我們孩子們的．現今凡　神所吩咐你的、你只管去行罷。●

創31:16（NCV）　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。」●

創31:16（CLV）其實，上帝從爸爸那裏奪過來給你的財產，根本就是屬於我們和我們的孩子的。現在你只管照上帝的吩咐行事吧！」●

雅各背逃（創31:17-21）

雅各背逃（創31:17-20）

創31:17（CUV）雅各起來、使他的兒子和妻子都騎上駱駝．

創31:17（NCV）於是雅各起來，叫他的兒女和妻子們都騎上駱駝。

創31:17（CLV）於是，雅各便起來讓妻子兒女騎在駱駝上，

創31:18（CUV）又帶著他在巴但亞蘭所得的一切牲畜和財物、往迦南地、他父親以撒那裏去了。

創31:18（NCV）又趕著他所有的牲畜，帶著他所得的一切財物，就是他在巴旦．亞蘭所得的一切牲畜，要到迦南地，他父親以撒那裏去。

創31:18（CLV）帶同他在巴旦亞蘭所得到的一切牲畜財物，起程往迦南地到他父親以撒那裏去。

創31:19（CUV）當時拉班剪羊毛去了．拉結偷了他父親家中的神像。

創31:19（NCV）當時拉班剪羊毛去了，拉結就偷了他父親的神像。

創31:19（CLV）那時候，拉班正在外面剪羊毛，拉結便偷了父親的神像。

創31:20（CUV）雅各背著亞蘭人拉班偷走了、並不告訴他。

創31:20（NCV）雅各瞞著亞蘭人拉班，沒有告訴拉班他將要逃走。

創31:20（CLV）雅各帶著他所有的妻兒財產不辭而別，渡過幼發拉底河，向著基列的山區進發。●

創31:21（CUV）就帶著所有的逃跑．他起身過大河、面向基列山行去。●

創31:21（NCV）於是，雅各帶著他所有的一切逃走了。他起程渡過了大河，面對著基列山走去。●

創31:21（CLV）併入第20節中

拉班追之

（創31:22-29）

拉班追趕雅各

（創31:22-42）

拉班追趕雅各

（創31:22-42）

創31:22（CUV）到第三日、有人告訴拉班、雅各逃跑了。

創31:22（NCV）到了第三日，有人告訴拉班說雅各逃走了。

創31:22（CLV）過了三天，拉班才知道雅各走了，

創31:23（CUV）拉班帶領他的眾兄弟去追趕、追了七日、在基列山就追上了。

創31:23（NCV）拉班就帶著自己的眾兄弟追趕他，追了七日的路程，才在基列山把他們追上了。

創31:23（CLV）於是他就帶著自己的兄弟去追趕。他們走了七天的時間，終於在基列的山區追上雅各。

創31:24（CUV）夜間　神到亞蘭人拉班那裏、在夢中對他說、你要小心、不可與雅各說好說歹。

創31:24（NCV）當天晚上，　神在夢中來到亞蘭人拉班那裏，對他說: 「你要小心，不可與雅各說甚麼。」

創31:24（CLV）當天晚上，上帝在夢中對拉班說：「你要當心，你不可以咒詛雅各，也不要為他祝福。」

創31:25（CUV）拉班追上雅各、雅各在山上支搭帳棚．拉班和他的眾弟兄、也在基列 山上支搭帳棚。

創31:25（NCV）拉班追上了雅各。當時雅各已經在山上支搭了帳棚；拉班和他的眾弟兄，也在基列 山上支搭了帳棚。

創31:25（CLV）拉班追上了雅各，那時雅各正在基列山上紮營，拉班也在那裏紮營。

創31:26（CUV）拉班對雅各說、你作的是甚麼事呢、你背著我偷走了、又把我的女兒們帶了去、如同用刀劍擄去的一般。

創31:26（NCV）拉班對雅各說：「你作的是甚麼事呢﹖你瞞著我，把我的女兒們當作戰俘一樣帶走了。

創31:26（CLV）拉班質問雅各說：「你這樣偷走是甚麼意思呢？難道我的女兒都是被擄的犯人，你要用這樣的手段帶走她們嗎？

創31:27（CUV）你為甚麼暗暗的逃跑、偷著走、並不告訴我、叫我可以歡樂、唱歌、擊鼓、彈琴的送你回去。

創31:27（NCV）你為甚麼暗中逃走，瞞著我不讓我知道，使我可以歡歡喜喜地唱歌、擊鼓、彈琴給你送行呢﹖

創31:27（CLV）你為甚麼要偷偷地溜走？你為甚麼不告訴我，好讓我彈琴奏樂、高歌歡唱、高高興興地來送別你呢？

創31:28（CUV）又不容我與我外孫和女兒親嘴．你所行的真是愚昧。

創31:28（NCV）你又不讓我與我的外孫和女兒親嘴。你所作的太糊塗了！

創31:28（CLV）你甚至不給我機會吻別我的外孫，你這樣做實在是太傻了。

創31:29（CUV）我手中原有能力害你、只是你父親的　神昨夜對我說、你要小心、不可與雅各說好說歹。●

創31:29（NCV）我本來有能力可以傷害你，但昨天晚上，你們父親的　神對我說：『你要小心，不可與雅各說甚麼。』●

創31:29（CLV）我有足夠的能力可以懲治你，但你父親的上帝昨夜對我說：『你要小心，不可以咒詛雅各，也不要為他祝福。』●

拉班責雅各竊其神像

（創31:30-35）

拉班責雅各竊其神像

（創31:30-35）

創31:30（CUV）現在你雖然想你父家、不得不去、為甚麼又偷了我的神像呢。

創31:30（NCV）現在你既然渴想你的父家，一定要回去，為甚麼又偷我的神像呢﹖」

創31:30（CLV）雖然你思家心切，不得不回去，但你為甚麼要偷走我的神像呢？」

創31:31（CUV）雅各回答拉班說、恐怕你把你的女兒從我奪去、所以我逃跑。

創31:31（NCV）雅各回答拉班，說：「我逃走，是因為我害怕，我心裏想：恐怕你會把你的女兒們從我的手中搶走。

創31:31（CLV）雅各不知道拉結偷走了神像，便回答拉班說：「我逃跑是因為害怕你會奪回你的女兒。

創31:32（CUV）至於你的神像、你在誰那裏搜出來、就不容誰存活．當著我們的眾弟兄你認一認、在我這裏有甚麼東西是你的、就拿去。原來 雅各不知道拉結偷了那些神像。●

創31:32（NCV）至於你的神像，你在誰身上搜出來，那人就不該活著；你當著我們眾弟兄面前查一查，如果在我這裏有甚麼東西是你的，你只管拿去。」原來 雅各不知拉結偷了神像。●

創31:32（CLV）至於你的神像，你在誰身上搜出來，誰就是該死的。你可以當著眾兄弟面前小心辨認一下，如果在我這裏發現了甚麼東西是你的，你就只管拿走吧！」●

創31:33（CUV）拉班進了雅各、利亞、並兩個使女的帳棚、都沒有搜出來．就從利亞的帳棚出來、進了拉結的帳棚。

創31:33（NCV）拉班進了雅各的帳棚、利亞的帳棚和兩個婢女的帳棚，都沒有搜出甚麼，於是從利亞的帳棚出來，進了拉結的帳棚。

創31:33（CLV）拉班先搜雅各的帳棚，然後又到利亞和兩個婢女的帳棚去搜查，卻查不出甚麼。最後，拉班來到拉結的帳棚。

創31:34（CUV）拉結已經把神像藏在駱駝的馱簍裏、便坐在上頭、拉班摸遍了那帳棚、並沒有摸著。

創31:34（NCV）拉結已經把神像放在駱駝的鞍下，自己坐在上面。拉班搜遍了帳棚，但沒有搜出甚麼。

創31:34（CLV）原來拉結早已經把神像藏在駱駝的鞍座裏，自己就坐在上面；因此拉班搜遍了整個帳棚也找不到。

創31:35（CUV）拉結對他父親說、現在我身上不便、不能在你面前起來、求我主不要生氣．這樣、拉班搜尋神像、竟沒有搜出來。●

創31:35（NCV）拉結對她父親說：「求我主不要生氣，我不能在你面前起來，因為我正有女人的經期。」這樣，拉班徹底搜查了，也搜不出那神像來。●

創31:35（CLV）拉結對父親說：「爸爸，因為我有月事在身，請原諒我不便起來了。」結果，拉班甚麼也找不到。●

雅各斥責拉班

（創31:36-42）

雅各斥責拉班

（創31:36-42）

創31:36（CUV）雅各就發怒斥責拉班說、我有甚麼過犯、有甚麼罪惡、你竟這樣火速的追我。

創31:36（NCV）雅各就生氣，與拉班爭吵起來。雅各責問拉班說：「我到底有甚麼過犯，有甚麼罪惡，你竟這樣急速地追趕我呢﹖

創31:36（CLV）雅各發怒，斥責拉班說：「我做錯了甚麼、犯了甚麼罪以致你對我窮追不捨呢？

創31:37（CUV）你摸遍了我一切的家具、你搜出甚麼來呢、可以放在你我弟兄面前、叫他們在你我中間辨別辨別。

創31:37（NCV）你已經搜遍了我所有的家具，你有找到你家的東西沒有？可以把它放在這裏，在你我的眾兄弟面前，讓他們可以在你我中間判斷一下。

創31:37（CLV）你已經搜遍我的東西了，你找到你家裏的神像沒有啊？現在就當著眾兄弟面前，把贓物拿出來，讓他們也評評道理吧！

創31:38（CUV）我在你家這二十年、你的母綿羊、母山羊沒有掉過胎．你群中的公羊、我沒有喫過．

創31:38（NCV）這二十年來，我與你在一起；你的母綿羊和母山羊沒掉過胎，你羊群中的公羊，我沒有吃過。

創31:38（CLV）我在你家裏工作了二十年，你的母綿羊、母山羊從來沒有掉過胎，而我也沒有吃過你半塊公羊的肉。

創31:39（CUV）被野獸撕裂的、我沒有帶來給你、是我自己賠上、無論是白日、是黑夜、被偷去的、你都向我索要。

創31:39（NCV）被野獸撕裂的，我沒有給你帶回來，都是由我自己賠償；無論白天偷去的，或是黑夜偷的，你都要我負責。

創31:39（CLV）被野獸殺傷的羊，我從來沒有帶來給你，只是自己賠上。無論是白晝或黑夜被偷去的，你都要我賠償。

創31:40（CUV）我白日受盡乾熱、黑夜受盡寒霜、不得合眼睡著、我常是這樣。

創31:40（NCV）我白天受盡炎熱，黑夜受盡寒霜，不能入睡；我經常是這樣。

創31:40（CLV）我為你工作，白天受盡烈日的煎熬，晚上捱盡夜露寒霜，不得好睡。

創31:41（CUV）我這二十年在你家裏、為你的兩個女兒服事你十四年、為你的羊群服事你六年、你又十次改了我的工價。

創31:41（NCV）我這二十年在你的家裏，為你的兩個女兒服事了你十四年；為你的羊群服事了你六年；你又十次改了我的工資。

創31:41（CLV）這二十年來，我為了你的兩個女兒，替你工作了整整十四年；又用了六年的勞力來賺取你的羊；可是，你卻竟然更改我的工資達十次之多。

創31:42（CUV）若不是我父親以撒所敬畏的　神、就是亞伯拉罕的　神與我同在、你如今必定打發我空手而去．　神看見我的苦情、和我的勞碌、就在昨夜責備你。●

創31:42（NCV）如果不是我父親的　神，就是亞伯拉罕的　神，以撒所敬畏的　神，與我同在，你現在必定打發我空手回去。但　神看見了我的苦情和我手中的幸勞，所以他昨天晚上責備了你。」●

創31:42（CLV）如果不是我父親以撒所敬畏的上帝，就是亞伯拉罕的上帝和我同在，你一定會半點薪酬也不給我；但上帝看見我的難處和勞苦，於是就在昨夜責備你。」●

二人立約

（創31:43-55）

雅各與拉班立約

（創31:43-55）

雅各與拉班立約

（創31:43-55）

創31:43（CUV）拉班回答雅各說、這女兒是我的女兒、這些孩子是我的孩子、這些羊群也是我的羊群、凡在你眼前的都是我的．我的女兒並他們所生的孩子、我今日能向他們作甚麼呢。

創31:43（NCV）拉班回答雅各，說：「這些女兒是我的女兒；這些孩子是我的孩子；這些羊群也是我的羊群。其實你眼所見的一切都是我的。我今日向我的女兒和她們所生的孩子，能作甚麼呢﹖

創31:43（CLV）拉班回答說：「女兒是我的，孫兒和羊群也是我的，你的一切都是我的，我又怎會傷害他們呢？

創31:44（CUV）來罷、你我二人可以立約、作你我中間的證據。

創31:44（NCV）來吧，現在我和你可以立約，作為你我之間的證據。」

創31:44（CLV）來吧，你我就互相立約為憑好了。」

創31:45（CUV）雅各就拿一塊石頭立作柱子。

創31:45（NCV）雅各就拿了一塊石頭，立作石柱。

創31:45（CLV）於是，雅各就拿起一塊石頭，豎立起來作柱子，

創31:46（CUV）又對眾弟兄說、你們堆聚石頭．他們就拿石頭來堆成一堆、大家便在旁邊喫喝。

創31:46（NCV）雅各又對自己的眾弟兄說：「你們把石頭堆聚起來。」他們就把石頭拿來，堆成了一堆。他們又在石堆旁邊吃喝。

創31:46（CLV）又吩咐弟兄們去收集石塊，堆成一堆。堆砌好了以後，大家就坐在旁邊一起吃喝。

創31:47（CUV）拉班稱那石堆為伊迦爾撒哈杜他、雅各卻稱那石堆為迦累得。〔都是『以石堆為證』的意思〕

創31:47（NCV）拉班稱那石堆為伊迦爾．撒哈杜他，雅各卻稱那石堆為迦累得。

創31:47（CLV）拉班叫那石堆作伊迦爾撒哈杜他，雅各卻稱那堆石為迦累得。

創31:48（CUV）拉班說、今日這石堆作你我中間的證據．因此這地方名叫迦累得、

創31:48（NCV）拉班說：「今天這堆石頭是你我之間的證據。」因此它名叫迦累得，

創31:48（CLV）拉班說：「今日，這座石堆就成為你我間的見證了。」因此，那地方就稱為迦累得，

創31:49（CUV）又叫米斯巴、意思說、我們彼此離別以後、願耶和華在你我中間鑒察。

創31:49（NCV）又叫米斯巴，因為拉班說：「我們彼此分離以後，願耶和華在你我中間鑒察。

創31:49（CLV）但它又有另外一個名稱叫米斯巴，因為拉班說：「我們分手以後，願上帝親自鑒察我們。

創31:50（CUV）你若苦待我的女兒、又在我的女兒以外另娶妻、雖沒有人知道、卻有　神在你我中間作見證。

創31:50（NCV）你若苦待我的女兒，或在我的女兒以外，另娶妻子，雖然沒有人在我們中間作證，但你要注意，　神就是你我之間的見證人。」

創31:50（CLV）倘若你虐待我的女兒，或在她們以外另娶妻子，就是我不知道，但上帝也會知道。」

創31:51（CUV）拉班又說、你看我在你我中間所立的這石堆、和柱子．

創31:51（NCV）拉班又對雅各說：「你看這堆石頭，看我在你我之間所豎立的石柱。

創31:51（CLV）拉班又對雅各說：「這座在我們中間的石堆和石柱是我們立約的證據；從今以後，我一定不會越界來害你，你也不可以越界來害我。

創31:52（CUV）這石堆作證據、這柱子也作證據、我必不過這石堆去害你、你也不可過這石堆和柱子、來害我．

創31:52（NCV）這堆石頭就是證據，這石柱子也是證據：我決不越過這石堆到你那裏去，你也決不可越過這石堆和石柱，到我這裏來害我。

創31:52（CLV）併入第51節中

創31:53（CUV）但願亞伯拉罕的　神、和拿鶴的　神、就是他們父親的　神、在你我中間判斷．雅各就指著他父親以撒所敬畏的　神起誓。

創31:53（NCV）但願亞伯拉罕的　神、拿鶴的　神，就是他們父親的　神，在我們中間判斷。」雅各就指著他父親以撒所敬畏的　神起誓。

創31:53（CLV）但願亞伯拉罕和拿鶴的上帝，就是他們父親的上帝，在你我之間做一個公證的判斷。」雅各就在他父親以撒所敬畏的上帝面前起誓，

創31:54（CUV）又在山上獻祭、請眾弟兄來喫飯．他們喫了飯、便在山上住宿。

創31:54（CLV）又在山上獻祭，請眾兄弟一同來吃飯。他們吃過飯以後，就一同在山上度宿。

創31:54（NCV）雅各又在山上獻祭，叫了自己的眾弟兄來吃飯。他們吃了飯，就在山上過夜。

創31:55（CUV）拉班清早起來、與他外孫和女兒親嘴、給他們祝福、回往自己的地方去了。●

創31:55（NCV）拉班清早起來，與他的外孫和女兒親嘴，給他們祝福。然後拉班離開那裏，回自己的地方去了。（本節在《馬索拉抄本》為創32：1）●

創31:55（CLV）到了第二天，拉班清早起來，吻別了外孫和女兒，又給他們祝福後，就回家去了。●

Jacob Flee From Laban（Ge 31:1-21）

Genesis 31:1（KJV）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.

Genesis 31:1（NIV）Jacob heard that Laban's sons were saying, "Jacob has taken everything our father owned and has gained all this wealth from what belonged to our father."

Genesis 31:2（KJV）And Jacob beheld the countenance of Laban, and, behold, it was not toward him as before.

Genesis 31:2（NIV）And Jacob noticed that Laban's attitude toward him was not what it had been.

Genesis 31:3（KJV）And the LORD said unto Jacob,Return unto the land of thy fathers, and to thy kindred; and I will be with thee.

Genesis 31:3（NIV）Then the LORD said to Jacob,"Go back to the land of your fathers and to your relatives, and I will be with you."

Genesis 31:4（KJV）And Jacob sent and called Rachel and Leah to the field unto his flock,

Genesis 31:4（NIV）So Jacob sent word to Rachel and Leah to come out to the fields where his flocks were.

Genesis 31:5（KJV）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.

Genesis 31:5（NIV）He said to them, "I see that your father's attitude toward me is not what it was before, but the God of my father has been with me.

Genesis 31:6（KJV）And ye know that with all my power I have served your father.

Genesis 31:6（NIV）You know that I've worked for your father with all my strength,

Genesis 31:7（KJV）And your father hath deceived me, and changed my wages ten times; but God suffered him not to hurt me.
