| Vers | English: King James Version | Tamajaq Portions |
| 1 | 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. | |
| 2 | And Jacob beheld the countenance of Laban, and, behold, it was not toward him as before. | Iay Yaqub əṃəttəy daɣ mazalan ən Laban fəl win n anin. |
| 3 | And the LORD said unto Jacob, Return unto the land of thy fathers, and to thy kindred; and I will be with thee. | Iṇṇa Əməli i Yaqub: «Əqqəl akal ən marawan nak, ɣur aɣaywan n abba nnak, əṣṣana daɣ ak.» |
| 4 | And Jacob sent and called Rachel and Leah to the field unto his flock, | Iɣra ddu Yaqub Raxil əd Leyya s əṣuf wa iha ənta d aharay-net wa ənḍərran. |
| 5 | 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. | Iṇṇ asnat: «Əgrəɣ in as šiṃətəkwəyen n abba nnakmat wər di əṇfenat šilat n anin, mišan Məššina n abba nin illa ɣur-i. |
| 6 | And ye know that with all my power I have served your father. | Təṣṣanmat iṃan nakmat as wər din əglema daɣ təɣurad in wala, y əššəɣəl n abba nnakmat. |
| 7 | And your father hath deceived me, and changed my wages ten times; but God suffered him not to hurt me. | Mišan iyyəwan i təkaddilt, iyyəwan əsəṃṃəttəy n alxaqq in. Mišan wər t'ikfa Məššina turagat n a di agu əššur. |
| 8 | If he said thus, The speckled shall be thy wages; then all the cattle bare speckled: and if he said thus, The ringstraked shall be thy hire; then bare all the cattle ringstraked. | S əmmək en da kud a iṇṇa win šaɣarnen a əṃosnen alxaqq in, ket-nasnat təntawen erawnat du ikərwatan šaɣarnen, kudeɣ iṇṇa win golənditan a iṃosan alxaqq in ənta da təntawen erawnat du ikərwatan əganen igolənditan. |
| 9 | Thus God hath taken away the cattle of your father, and given them to me. | Məššina iṃan-net as di ikfa daɣ aharay n abba nnakmat |
| 10 | And it came to pass at the time that the cattle conceived, that I lifted up mine eyes, and saw in a dream, and, behold, the rams which leaped upon the cattle were ringstraked, speckled, and grisled. | Daɣ tamert ta n sabdar ən təmenesen ad ənaya daɣ tərgət isawalan əganen əgolənditan əd wiyyad šaɣarnen əd wiyyad farfoznen, as əzagan təntawen n aharay a. |
| 11 | And the angel of God spake unto me in a dream, saying, Jacob: And I said, Here am I. | Iṇṇ'i angalos ən Məššina daɣ tərgət "Yaqub" Əṇṇeɣ-as "hun". |
| 12 | And he said, Lift up now thine eyes, and see, all the rams which leap upon the cattle are ringstraked, speckled, and grisled: for I have seen all that Laban doeth unto thee. | Iṇṇ'i: "Ədkəl aṣawad nak, ad tagga isawalan win əzagnen təntawen n aharay əgan əgolənditan, šaɣera madeɣ farfoza. Adi wər t id'eway ar as ənaya a wa dak iga Laban. |
| 13 | I am the God of Bethel, where thou anointedst the pillar, and where thou vowedst a vow unto me: now arise, get thee out from this land, and return unto the land of thy kindred. | Nak Məššina ən Betel wa dak d'inafalalan ɣur Betel edag wa daɣ tənɣala widi fəl təhunt, edag wa daɣ i tədkala arkawal. Əmərədda, əṇkər,əg̣məd akal a, əqqəl akal ən marwan nak.» |
| 14 | And Rachel and Leah answered and said unto him, Is there yet any portion or inheritance for us in our father's house? | Təṇṇa Raxil əd Leyya i Yaqub: «Wər nəla tadagart ən təkasit daɣ abba nnana. |
| 15 | Are we not counted of him strangers? for he hath sold us, and hath quite devoured also our money. | Idkal ana šilat ən təmagaren id inazzan danaɣ in iga, inɣa azrəf wa din nənza, awalla za ar inɣ ay, azrəf wa as imməkkan a tu nilu. |
| 16 | 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. | Daɣ adi təgərgist kul ta dd'ibaz Məššina daɣ abba nnana šin maddan-nəna. Əmərədda agu a w'as dak iṇṇa Məššina.» |
| 17 | Then Jacob rose up, and set his sons and his wives upon camels; | Isammatag Yaqub i təzrek, issəwan maddan-əs əd təḍoden-net olaman, |
| 18 | And he carried away all his cattle, and all his goods which he had gotten, the cattle of his getting, which he had gotten in Padan-aram, for to go to Isaac his father in the land of Canaan. | izzərgaz ihərwan-net, eway ərrəzəɣan kul win sər-əs əggaznen daɣ Mesofotami, ikk' akal wa n Kanan ɣur Isxaq abba nnet. |
| 19 | And Laban went to shear his sheep: and Rachel had stolen the images that were her father's. | Ikka Laban edagg ən talazay ən təḍuft n aharay nnet, tokar du Raxil aṣṣənaṃan-net dəffər-əs. |
| 20 | And Jacob stole away unawares to Laban the Syrian, in that he told him not that he fled. | Ikkərras Yaqub Laban wa n aw Aram s as iḍḍəggag dəffər-əs wər das imel. |
| 21 | So he fled with all that he had; and he rose up, and passed over the river, and set his face toward the mount Gilead. | Iḍḍəggag d a wa ila kul, iɣras agarew wa n Fərat, innəmad ikallan n ədɣaɣan win Gilhad. |
| 22 | And it was told Laban on the third day that Jacob was fled. | Əzəl wa n karad igraw Laban isalan n əḍəggəg ən Yaqub. |
| 23 | And he took his brethren with him, and pursued after him seven days' journey; and they overtook him in the mount Gilead. | Ilkam as ənta əd meddan ən šəqqaɣan-net ewadan tu dəffər əṣṣ' aḍan n əšikəl daɣ ədɣaɣan win Gilhad. |
| 24 | 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. | As ig' ahad inafalal Məššina i Laban daɣ tərgət iṇṇ'as: «Ənkəd y ad taga arat i Yaqub gər olaɣ wala ibrar.» |
| 25 | Then Laban overtook Jacob. Now Jacob had pitched his tent in the mount: and Laban with his brethren pitched in the mount of Gilead. | As ewad Laban Yaqub ikras ahaket-net daɣ akal wa n ədɣaɣan ən Gilhad. Iga Laban əd meddan-net a wen da. |
| 26 | 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? | Iṇṇa Laban i Yaqub: «Ma təge da? Təkkərrasaɣ i, tewaya šibararen in as taṇṇa šiməskasa n əməgər? |
| 27 | 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? | Ma fəl du təḍəggaga daɣ əssir? Mas di təkkərrasa sas di wər təmela? Ənnar di təmala ayyaq qay tagla du daɣ tədəwit d aṣak daw maslan ən tandiwen d əṇzadan. |
| 28 | And hast not suffered me to kiss my sons and my daughters? thou hast now done foolishly in so doing. | Wər di toyyeɣ ad əzələmmeɣ ihayawan in əd təbararen in, agaɣ asan šiwaṭriwen. Təgeɣ təṃətəkwəyt n əmeskəl! |
| 29 | 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. | Əleɣ fərregat n ad awan əɣšada. Mišan ənḍod imməgrad sər-i Məššina n abba nnak, iṇṇ'i: "Ənkəd y ad tagaɣ arat i Yaqub gər olaɣ wala ibrar." |
| 30 | And now, though thou wouldest needs be gone, because thou sore longedst after thy father's house, yet wherefore hast thou stolen my gods? | Əgreɣ teklay nak fəlas əṣuf a kay iggazan n aɣaywan nawan mišan ma fəl tokara du aṣṣanaman in?» |
| 31 | And Jacob answered and said to Laban, Because I was afraid: for I said, Peradventure thou wouldest take by force thy daughters from me. | Iṇṇa Yaqub i Laban: «Awalla, təksəda a əgeɣ as a daɣ i tabəza ašš-ek əs təɣurad. |
| 32 | With whomsoever thou findest thy gods, let him not live: before our brethren discern thou what is thine with me, and take it to thee. For Jacob knew not that Rachel had stolen them. | Daɣ batu n aṣṣanaman nak i ɣur tan du təgrawa ad aṃṃat! Səffətəktək a wa əle tədkəla a wa təle dat təgiyyawen n aytedan nana!» Wər iṣṣen Yaqub as Raxil a du tokarat aṣṣanaman. |
| 33 | And Laban went into Jacob's tent, and into Leah's tent, and into the two maidservants' tents; but he found them not. Then went he out of Leah's tent, and entered into Rachel's tent. | Igla Laban isaffataktak ehan wa n Yaqub d ahan wa n Leyya əd wa n təwahayen-net an ṣanatat, wər igrew wala. Ɣur ag̣amad-net ehan wa n Leyya iggaz wa n Raxil. Ənta Raxil a tədkalat aṣṣanaman təɣbar tan daɣ təxawit-net, təqqim daɣ-as. Ad |
| 34 | 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. | |
| 35 | And she said to her father, Let it not displease my lord that I cannot rise up before thee; for the custom of women is upon me. And he searched, but found not the images. | |
| 36 | And Jacob was wroth, and chode with Laban: and Jacob answered and said to Laban, What is my trespass? what is my sin, that thou hast so hotly pursued after me? | Iggaz alham Yaqub təzzar imməṣtan əd Laban iṇṇa: «Məni a wa əɣšada? Ma iṃos abakkad in as di təhhore? |
| 37 | Whereas thou hast searched all my stuff, what hast thou found of all thy household stuff? set it here before my brethren and thy brethren, that they may judge betwixt us both. | Daɣ adi əmərədda ad təsaffataktaka ilalan nin kul ma du təgrawa təleq qu? Sakn'ay y aytedan in əd win nak ad aggayen fəl a wa illan gar-ena! |
| 38 | This twenty years have I been with thee; thy ewes and thy she goats have not cast their young, and the rams of thy flock have I not eaten. | Əmərədda ṣanatat təṃərwen n awatay a əge əlle ɣur-ək. Wər kala əgarnat ayfəd nak wala wəlli nnak, wər kala ətšeɣ ijəɣal n əsəgən nak. |
| 39 | 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. | Teɣsay nak ətšan wəxsan wər dak du tiwəya iləzgan-net, nak tat irazzaman daɣ təɣurad in id təḍgazaɣ i gər təmmitša ehad wala ezal. |
| 40 | Thus I was; in the day the drought consumed me, and the frost by night; and my sleep departed from mine eyes. | Nak a təkaggay təfuk s azal, inɣ'i asamed s ahad, aṃaran faw iṃṃokar eṭəs in. |
| 41 | Thus have I been twenty years in thy house; I served thee fourteen years for thy two daughters, and six years for thy cattle: and thou hast changed my wages ten times. | Əmmək en da as daɣ ṣanatat təṃərwen n awatay šin əge ɣur-ək: Maraw elan d əkkoz taggalt ən təbararen nak ṣanatat, ṣədis elan fəl aharay-nnak, təyyəwanaɣ əsəṃṃəttəy n alxaqq in. |
| 42 | 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. | Kundab' as Məššina n abba nin Ibrahin, wa iksud abba nin Isxaq as əheɣ taɣlift-net, illikan as əmərədda təstaɣaɣ i da əqquran fassan nin. Mišan Məššina ogga arkaṇay nin d iket n əššəɣəl iṣṣohen wa dak əge, adi da fəlas əṇdod, immigrad |
| 43 | And Laban answered and said unto Jacob, These daughters are my daughters, and these children are my children, and these cattle are my cattle, and all that thou seest is mine: and what can I do this day unto these my daughters, or unto thei | Iṇṇa Laban i Yaqub: «Šibararen a ši nnu, bararan a i nnu, eharay a i nnu, a wa təhaṇṇaya da kul i nnu. Mišan, əmərədda, wər əle batu fəl təbararen in əd bararan nasnat. |
| 44 | Now therefore come thou, let us make a covenant, I and thou; and let it be for a witness between me and thee. | «Daɣ a di əmərədda nənəmətkəlet arkawal ən tassaq ad iqqal təgiyya gar-i dər-ək. |
| 45 | And Jacob took a stone, and set it up for a pillar. | Təzzar itkal Yaqub təhunt issəɣt-et əs təzzəgrət-net, təqqal təṃətirt. |
| 46 | And Jacob said unto his brethren, Gather stones; and they took stones, and made an heap: and they did eat there upon the heap. | Təzzar iṇṇa Yaqub y aytedan-net: «Amədat-du šihun!» Əgan-tanat sakfaw, ətšan fall-as. |
| 47 | And Laban called it Jegar-sahadutha: but Jacob called it Galeed. | Iga Laban i sakfaw wen eṣəm Yəgar-Sahaduta (almaɣna sakfaw wa n təgiyya), daɣ awal-net, ig-as Yaqub eṣəm əntada Galed (almaɣna sakfaw wa n təgiyya). |
| 48 | And Laban said, This heap is a witness between me and thee this day. Therefore was the name of it called Galeed; | Iṇṇa Laban i Yaqub: «Sakfaw a ən təhun a da ənta iṃosan təgiyya gar-i dər-ək azalada», a di da fəl iga eṣəm Galed. |
| 49 | And Mizpah; for he said, The LORD watch between me and thee, when we are absent one from another. | Iga eṣəm tolas Mitsfa (almaɣna edag n ag̣g̣az), id Laban iṇṇa tolas: «Aglet Əməli išišawalana a nəga daɣ ənəməggag. |
| 50 | If thou shalt afflict my daughters, or if thou shalt take other wives beside my daughters, no man is with us; see, God is witness betwixt me and thee. | «As təjajjargana šibararen-in madeɣ təzlafa šiyyad šiḍoden, aktəw iṃan-nak as kud ɣur-na wər illa awedan da Məššina a iṃosan təgiyya n arkawal wa nənamatkal!» Təzzar iṇṇa Laban i Yaqub: «Təhunt ta əssəɣta da əs təzzəgrət-net əd sakfa |
| 51 | And Laban said to Jacob, Behold this heap, and behold this pillar, which I have cast betwixt me and thee; | |
| 52 | This heap be witness, and this pillar be witness, that I will not pass over this heap to thee, and that thou shalt not pass over this heap and this pillar unto me, for harm. | |
| 53 | The God of Abraham, and the God of Nahor, the God of their father, judge betwixt us. And Jacob sware by the fear of his father Isaac. | «Məššina n Ibrahim d Əməli ən Naxor ələkanet-ana!» Dəffər a wen ihad Yaqub əs Məššina wa iksud abba-nnet Isxaq ar ad-iṭṭəf arkawal. |
| 54 | Then Jacob offered sacrifice upon the mount, and called his brethren to eat bread: and they did eat bread, and tarried all night in the mount. | Təzzar iga Yaqub takutay fəl adɣaɣ, iššedaw du sər-əs iššəqqaɣan-net. Ədrawan-tat, ənamaṇsan ahad wə di fəl adɣaɣ. |
| 55 | And early in the morning Laban rose up, and kissed his sons and his daughters, and blessed them: and Laban departed, and returned unto his place. |
