以色列人受欺压
1以色列的众子带着家眷跟雅各1:1 “雅各”就是“以色列”,上帝为雅各改名以色列,故事参考创世记32:28.一起去了埃及,以下是他们的名字: 2吕便,西缅,利未,犹大, 3以萨迦,西布伦,便雅悯, 4但,拿弗他利,迦得,亚设. 5雅各的子孙总共有七十人.那时,约瑟已经住在埃及. 6后来,约瑟和他的弟兄以及同辈的人都相继去世. 7以色列人生养众多,人口大增,很快就遍布埃及,成为一个强大的民族. 8那时,埃及有一位不认识约瑟的新王登基, 9对他的百姓说:“你们看,以色列人比我们多,又比我们强. 10来吧!我们要设法阻止他们人口增长,否则一遇到战争,他们便会加入我们敌人的阵营来攻打我们,然后一走了之.”
11于是,埃及人派监工强迫以色列人服劳役,在比东和兰塞两地为法老兴建储货城. 12以色列人越受奴役,人口增长得越快,散居的范围也越广,令埃及人感到恐惧. 13于是,埃及人更残酷地奴役他们, 14强迫他们和泥造砖,并做田间一切的苦工,使他们痛苦不堪. 15埃及王又命令两个希伯来的接生婆施弗拉和普阿: 16“你们在替希伯来妇女接生的时候,如果看到生下的是男婴,就把他杀掉;如果是女婴,就让她活下来.” 17但这两个接生婆敬畏上帝,没有执行王的命令,而是保留了男婴的性命. 18埃及王召见那两个接生婆,质问她们:“你们为什么这样做?为什么让男婴活着?” 19她们回答说:“因为希伯来妇女跟埃及妇女不同.她们身体强健,我们还没有赶到,婴儿就生下来了.” 20-21因此,以色列人口继续增加,更加繁盛.因为这两个接生婆敬畏上帝,上帝便赐福给她们,使她们生儿育女. 22后来,法老命令全埃及的人把以色列人生的所有男婴都抛进尼罗河里,只让女婴活着.

Israels misslyckande på slagfältet
(1:1—2:5)
1När Josua hade dött, vände sig Israels folk till Herren för att fråga honom: ”Vilka av oss ska först gå ut i striden mot kanaanéerna?”
2Herren svarade: ”Judas stam ska gå först och jag ska ge landet i hans hand.”
3Då sa Juda till sin bror Simon: ”Följ med mig till mitt område och strid med oss mot kanaanéerna, så ska jag hjälpa dig att inta ert område!”
Simon följde alltså med Juda. 4När Juda gick till anfall, gav Herren kanaanéerna och perisséerna i deras våld och 10 000 man blev slagna vid Besek. 5Det var där de stötte på Adoni-Besek, stred mot honom och besegrade kanaanéerna och perisséerna. 6Adoni-Besek flydde, men de förföljde honom och tog honom till fånga och högg av honom tummar och stortår.
7”Sjuttio kungar med avhuggna tummar och stortår har ätit av smulorna från mitt bord!” sa kung Adoni-Besek. ”Nu har Gud betalat tillbaka det jag gjort mot dem.” Man förde honom sedan till Jerusalem där han dog.
8Därefter anföll Juda Jerusalem och intog det. Man dödade alla med svärd och satte eld på staden.
9Sedan vände sig Judas män mot de kanaanéer som bodde i berglandskapen, i Negev och i Låglandet. 10De ryckte fram mot kanaanéerna i Hebron, tidigare kallat Kirjat-Arba, och besegrade Sheshaj, Achiman och Talmaj. 11Därifrån tågade de mot invånarna i Devir som förut kallades Kirjat-Sefer.
12Kalev sa: ”Den som anfaller och intar Kirjat-Sefer ska jag ge min dotter Aksa till hustru.”
13Otniel, son till Kalevs yngre bror, Kenas, intog staden och Kalev gav sin dotter Aksa till honom. 14När hon kom till Otniel, uppmanade hon honom att be hennes far om ett stycke mark. När hon steg av från sin åsna, frågade Kalev henne: ”Är det något du önskar?”
15Hon svarade: ”Ge mig en gåva! Du har gett mig land i Negev men ge mig några vattenkällor också!”
Då gav Kalev henne de övre och de nedre källorna.
16Ättlingarna till Moses svärfar, kainéerna, hade följt med judéerna från Palmstaden mot Juda öken i Negev nära Arad. De slog sig ner där bland folket.
17Därefter förenade sig Juda med sin bror Simon och de stred mot kanaanéerna vid staden Sefat. De vigde staden åt förintelse och därför kallas den Horma.1:17 Horma betyder förstörelse. 18Juda intog också städerna Gaza, Ashkelon och Ekron, med områdena runt omkring dem. 19Herren hjälpte Juda att inta hela bergsbygden, men folket som bodde på slätten kunde de inte besegra, för de hade stridsvagnar av järn.
20Kalev fick Hebron som Mose hade lovat och han drev bort Anaks tre söner därifrån.
21Benjamins stam jagade inte iväg jevuséerna som bodde i Jerusalem och därför bor dessa kvar bland benjaminiterna än idag.
22Josefs stam anföll Betel och Herren var med dem. 23De sände ut spejare till Betel – som förut hette Lus – 24vilka såg en man på väg ut ur staden. De lovade att skona honom, om han visade dem hur de skulle ta sig in i staden. 25Han visade dem ingången och de dödade alla invånarna utom mannen och hans familj. 26Han flyttade senare till hettiternas land och byggde upp en stad där som också fick namnet Lus, vilket den fortfarande heter.
27Manasse lyckades inte driva bort det folk som bodde i Bet-Shean, Taanak, Dor, Jivleam och Megiddo, med deras respektive kringliggande orter. Kanaanéerna hade nämligen föresatt sig att bli kvar i landet. 28När sedan israeliterna blev starkare, lät de kanaanéerna arbeta som slavar men tvingade dem aldrig att lämna landet. 29På samma sätt förhöll det sig med kanaanéerna som levde i Geser. De bodde kvar bland folket i Efraims stam.
30Sebulon lyckades inte driva bort kanaanéerna i Kitron och Nahalol men gjorde dem till slavar. 31Inte heller drev Asher ut invånarna från Acko, Sidon, Achlav, Aksiv, Helba, Afik och Rechov. 32Asheriterna bodde alltså bland de kanaanéer som redan fanns i landet när de kom dit och som de inte kunde driva bort. 33Naftali drev inte heller bort invånarna från Bet Shemesh eller från Bet-Anat utan fick bo bland kanaanéerna i landet. Invånarna i Bet Shemesh och Bet-Anat blev israeliternas slavar.
34Amoréerna tvingade Dans stam tillbaka till bergsbygden och hindrade dem från att komma ner på slätten. 35Amoréerna lyckades också till en början hålla sig kvar i Har-Heres, Ajalon och Shaalvim, men när Josefs stam senare växte i styrka gjorde man dem till slavar. 36Amoréernas område började vid Akrabbimhöjden, sträckte sig till Sela och fortsatte därifrån vidare uppåt.1:36 Versen är svår att översätta och innebörden osäker.
Yuda Ne Simeon Fa Asase No
1Yosua wu akyi no, Israelfo bisaa Awurade se, “Abusuakuw bɛn na ɛsɛ sɛ wɔkɔtow hyɛ Kanaanfo no so kan?”
2Awurade buae se, “Yuda na ɛsɛ sɛ ɔkɔ; mede asase no sodi ahyɛ wɔn nsam.”
3Enti Yuda ntuanofo no ka kyerɛɛ wɔn nuanom Simeon abusuakuw no se, “Mommɛka yɛn ho na yɛnko ntia Kanaanfo a wɔte asase a wɔde ama yɛn no so. Yɛn nso, yɛbɛboa mo ama moako afa mo asase.” Enti Simeonfo mmarima no ne Yudafo no kɔe.
4Bere a Yuda kɔɔ wɔn so no, Awurade ma wodii Kanaanfo ne Perisifo no so nkonim, na wokunkum atamfo akofo mpem du wɔ Besek. 5Besek hɔ, wɔne ɔhene Adoni-Besek hyiae, na wɔko tiaa no, dii Kanaanfo no ne Perisifo no so nkonim. 6Adoni-Besek guanee, nanso ankyɛ na Israelfo kɔkyeree no twitwaa ne nsa ne ne nan kokurobeti.
7Ɛmaa Adoni-Besek kae se, “Bere bi, na mewɔ Ahemfo aduɔson a wɔatwitwa wɔn kokurobeti na wɔbɛtasee mporoporowa wɔ me didipon ase. Afei, Awurade atua me nea meyɛɛ wɔn no so ka.” Wɔde no kɔɔ Yerusalem na owui wɔ hɔ.
8Yuda mmarima no tow hyɛɛ Yerusalem so, dii so nkonim. Wokunkum kuropɔn no so nnipa nyinaa, too mu gya.
9Ɛno akyi, wɔdan faa anafo fam, kɔtow hyɛɛ Kanaanfo a wɔtete bepɔw asase, Negeb ne atɔe fam nkoko so no so. 10Yuda bɔ wuraa Kanaanfo a na wɔte Hebron a kan no na wɔfrɛ hɔ Kiriat-Arba no mu, dii Sesai, Ahima ne Talmai so. 11Wofi hɔ kɔtoaa nnipa a wɔte Debir a kan no na wɔfrɛ hɔ (Kiriat-Sefer no).
12Na Kaleb kae se, “Mede me babea Aksa bɛma obi a ɔbɛtow ahyɛ Kiriat-Sefer kurow no so na wadi so no aware.” 13Ɛnna Kaleb nua kumaa Kenas babarima Otniel kɔfae. Enti Aksa bɛyɛɛ Otniel yere.
14Aksa waree Otniel no, ɔka kyerɛɛ no se ommisa nʼagya Kaleb na ɔmma wɔn asase nka nea wɔwɔ no ho. Ofi nʼafurum so sii fam ara pɛ, Kaleb bisaa no se, “Asɛm bɛn? Dɛn na menyɛ mma wo?”
15Obuae se, “Ma me nhyira bio. Woadom me ama me asase wɔ Negeb, na mesrɛ wo ma me asase a nsu wɔ so.” Enti Kaleb maa no atifi ne anafo nsubɔnten.
16Bere a Yuda abusuakuw fii Yeriko no, Kenifo a wɔyɛ Mose ase barima asefo ne wɔn kɔɔ Yuda sare no so. Wɔtenaa nnipa a wɔwɔ hɔ no mu wɔ beae bi a ɛbɛn Arad a ɛwɔ Negeb.
17Afei, Yuda ne Simeon ka bɔɔ mu ko tiaa Kanaanfo a wɔte Sefat no sɛee kurow no pasaa. Enti wɔtoo kurow no din Horma. 18Ɛno akyi, Yuda ko faa nkuropɔn Gasa, Askelon ne Ekron ne wɔn nsase a atwa wɔn ho ahyia.
Israel Antumi Amfa Asase No
19Na Awurade ka Yuda nkurɔfo ho nti, ɛmaa wɔfaa bepɔw nsase no. Nanso wɔantumi ampam nnipa a wɔte tataw so no amfi hɔ, efisɛ na wɔwɔ nnade nteaseɛnam. 20Wɔde Hebron kuropɔn maa Kaleb sɛnea na Mose ahyɛ ho bɔ no.

Enti ebesi nnɛ yi, Yebusifo ne Benyamin nkurɔfo da so te Yerusalem.
22Yosef asefo kɔtow hyɛɛ Bet-El kurow no so, na Awurade kaa wɔn ho. 23Wɔsomaa akwansrafo kɔɔ Bet-El (a kan no na wɔfrɛ no Lus) hɔ. 24Wɔde nsɛmmisa puapuaa ɔbarima bi a na ofi kuropɔn no mu reba. Wɔka kyerɛɛ no se, “Kyerɛ yɛn ɔkwan a wɔde kɔ kuropɔn no mu na yɛn nso, yebehu wo mmɔbɔ.” 25Enti ɔkyerɛɛ wɔn kuropɔn no kwan ma wokokunkum kuropɔn no mu nnipa nyinaa, na wogyaw ɔbarima no ne nʼabusuafo. 26Akyiri no, ɔbarima no tutu kɔɔ Hetifo asase so. Ɔkyekyeree kuropɔn wɔ hɔ. Ɔtoo kuropɔn no din Lus. Na saa din no da kuropɔn no so de besi nnɛ.
27Manase abusuakuw no nso antumi ampam nnipa a na wɔte Bet-Sean, Taanak, Dor, Yibleam, Megido ne wɔn nkuraase no, efisɛ na Kanaanfo no aka se, sɛnea ɛte biara, ɛhɔ ara na wɔpɛ sɛ wɔtena. 28Israelfo no nyaa ahoɔden kakra no, wɔhyɛɛ Kanaanfo no ma wɔyɛɛ nnwuma sɛ nkoa maa wɔn na wɔampam wɔn amfi asase no so. 29Efraim abusuakuw no nso antumi antu Kanaanfo a na wɔte Geser no enti Kanaanfo no kɔɔ so ne wɔn tenae. 30Sebulon abusuakuw no antumi antu Kanaanfo a na wɔte Kitron ne Nahalol, nti wɔkɔɔ so ne wɔn tenae. Nanso wɔhyɛɛ wɔn ma wɔyɛɛ adwuma sɛ nkoa. 31Aser abusuakuw no nso antumi antu wɔn a na wɔte Ako, Sidon, Ahlab, Aksib, Helba, Afik ne Rehob. 32Nokware, esiane sɛ wɔantumi antu wɔn no nti, Kanaanfo no dɔɔso wɔ asase a Aserfo no te so no so. 33Naftali abusuakuw no nso antumi antu wɔn a na wɔte Bet-Semes ne Bet-Anat.

Mipahilayo si Jacob kang Laban
1Nakadungog si Jacob nga miingon ang mga anak nga lalaki ni Laban, “Gikuha ni Jacob ang tanang kabtangan sa atong amahan, ug gikan niini nahimo siyang adunahan.” 2Nakamatikod usab si Jacob nga lahi na kaysa kaniadto ang pagtagad ni Laban kaniya.
3Miingon ang Ginoo kang Jacob, “Pauli na sa dapit sa imong katigulangan, didto sa imong mga paryente, ug magauban ako kanimo.”
4Busa gipatawag ni Jacob ang iyang mga asawa nga sila si Raquel ug si Lea didto sa sabsabanan sa iyang mga kahayopan. 5Miingon siya kanila, “Nakamatikod ako nga lahi na ang pagtagad sa inyong amahan kanako. Apan wala ako pasagdi sa Dios sa akong amahan. 6Nakahibalo usab kamo nga nagaalagad ako sa inyong amahan kutob sa akong mahimo, 7apan gitunto niya ako. Napulo gayod ka higayon nga giusab-usab niya ang akong suhol. Apan wala motugot ang Dios nga makahimo siyag kadaot kanako. 8Kon moingon si Laban nga ang kabang nga mga kanding mao ang akong suhol, kabang usab ang tanang anak sa mga kanding. 9Gikuha sa Dios ang mga kahayopan sa inyong amahan ug gihatag kanako.”
10Midugang pag-ingon si Jacob, “Sa panahon sa tingpanguwag sa mga hayop, nagdamgo ako. Nakita ko nga ang mga laking kanding nga mihabal sa mga bayeng kanding mga kabang. 11Sa akong damgo gitawag ako sa anghel sa Dios. Miingon siya, ‘Jacob!’ Mitubag ako, ‘Unsa man.’ 12Ug unya miingon siya, ‘Tan-awa, ang tanang mga laking kanding nga naghabal sa mga bayeng kanding mga kabang. Gibuhat ko kini tungod kay nakita ko ang tanan nga gibuhat kanimo ni Laban. 13Ako ang Dios nga nagpakita kanimo didto sa Betel, sa dapit diin gibuboan mo ug lana ang bato nga gipatindog mo ingon nga handomanan, ug diin nanumpa ka kanako. Karon, biya niining dapita ug pauli sa dapit diin ka natawo.’ ”
14Mitubag si Raquel ug si Lea kang Jacob, “Wala na kamiy mapanunod gikan sa among amahan. 15Laing tawo na ang iyang pagtan-aw kanamo. Gibaligya niya kami ug nahurot na niya ug gasto ang bili namo. 16Ang tanang bahandi nga gikuha sa Dios gikan kaniya ug gihatag diha kanimo isipon na namo nga among panulondon ug sa among mga anak. Busa tumana ang giingon sa Dios kanimo.”
17-18Nangandam si Jacob sa pagpauli sa Canaan, sa dapit sa iyang amahan nga si Isaac. Gipasakay niya ang iyang mga anak ug mga asawa sa mga kamelyo. Gidala niya ang iyang mga kahayopan ug ang tanang kabtangan nga iyang natigom sa Padan Aram. 19Naatol kadto nga milakaw si Laban sa pagpanupi sa iyang mga karnero, ug samtang wala siya gikuha ni Raquel ang iyang mga dios-dios. 20Nalingla ni Jacob si Laban nga Aramehanon tungod kay wala siya mosugilon niini nga mobiya na siya. 21Dala ni Jacob sa iyang paglakaw ang tanan niyang kabtangan. Mitabok siya sa Suba sa Eufrates paingon sa bukid sa Gilead.
Gigukod ni Laban si Jacob
22Tulo na ka adlaw ang milabay sa dihang nahibaloan ni Laban nga milayas sila si Jacob. 23Busa giuban niya ang iyang mga paryente ug gigukod nila si Jacob sulod sa pito ka adlaw. Naapsan nila sila si Jacob didto sa bukid sa Gilead. 24Niadtong gabhiona, nagpakita ang Dios kang Laban nga Aramehanon pinaagi sa damgo. Miingon ang Dios kaniya, “Ayaw hilabti si Jacob.31:24 hilabti si Jacob: sa literal, pagsultig daotan o maayo ngadto kang Jacob.”
25Nagpatindog na si Jacob sa iyang tolda sa bukid sa Gilead sa dihang naapsan siya ni Laban. Ug didto na usab nagpatindog si Laban ug ang iyang mga paryente sa ilang mga tolda. 26Miingon si Laban kang Jacob, “Nganong gibuhat mo kini kanako? Nganong gilingla mo ako? Imo pang gidala ang akong mga anak nga morag mga bihag sa gira. 27Nganong gilingla mo ako ug milakaw nga wala mananghid kanako? Kon nagaingon pa kamo, ako unta kamong gipalakaw nga may kasadya sa sonata sa tamborin ug harpa. 28Wala mo gani ako pahaloka sa akong mga apo ug mga anak. Binuang kining imong gibuhat. 29May katungod gayod unta ako nga mobuhat ug daotan kanimo, apan gipahimangnoan ako kagabii sa Dios sa imong amahan nga dili ka hilabtan. 30Nahibalo ako nga gimingaw ka na pag-ayo sa inyo, busa gusto ka na nga mopauli. Apan nganong gikawat mo man ang akong mga dios?”
31Mitubag si Jacob kaniya, “Wala ako mananghid kanimo kay nahadlok ako nga basin ug pugson mo pagkuha gikan kanako ang imong mga anak. 32Apan bahin sa imong mga dios nga nawala, si bisan kinsa nga nagkuha niini, mamatay. Sa atubangan sa atong mga paryente, tan-awa kon may kabtangan ka ba dinhi kanamo ug kon aduna, kuhaa.” Wala makahibalo si Jacob nga si Raquel diay ang nagkuha sa mga dios-dios ni Laban.
33Busa gipangita ni Laban ang iyang mga dios-dios sa tolda ni Jacob, sa tolda ni Lea, ug sa tolda sa duha ka sulugoon nga babaye, apan wala gayod niya kini makita. Migawas siya sa tolda ni Lea, ug misulod sa tolda ni Raquel. 34Apan gitagoan na ni Raquel ang mga dios-dios ilalom sa muntora sa kamelyo, ug iya kining gilingkoran. Nangita si Laban didto sa tibuok tolda ni Raquel apan wala gayod siyay nakita. 35Miingon si Raquel kaniya, “Tay, ayaw lang kasuko kon dili ako makatindog kay naa man gud ang akong binulan.” Padayon nga nangita si Laban apan wala gayod niya makita ang mga dios-dios.
36Wala na mapugngi ni Jacob ang iyang kasuko, busa miingon siya kang Laban, “Unsa may nahimo ko batok kanimo? Unsa may akong sala nga gigukod mo man gayod ako? 37Karon nga nasusi mo na ang tanan kong mga kabtangan, may nakita ka ba nga imo? Kon anaa, ibutang kini dinhi sa atubangan sa akong mga paryente ug sa imong mga paryente, ug sila ang mohukom kanato. 38Sa 20 ka tuig nga didto ako sa inyo, bisan kausa wala gayod makuhai sa ilang pagburos ang imong mga bayeng kanding ug karnero. Ug wala gayod ako makakaon sa imong mga laking karnero. 39Wala ko na dad-a kanimo ang mga hayop nga gipatay sa ihalas nga mga mananap; giilisan ko kini dayon. Gipabayran mo usab kanako ang mga hayop nga gikawat panahon man sa adlaw o sa gabii. 40Nagaantos ako sa kainit sa adlaw, ug sa katugnaw sa kagabhion, ug kulang ako kanunay sa tulog. 41Sa 20 ka tuig nga pagpuyo ko sa inyo, 14 ka tuig akong nagaalagad kanimo alang sa imong duha ka anak nga babaye, ug unom ka tuig sa pagbantay sa imong mga kahayopan. Ug sulod usab nianang mga tuiga, kanapulo mo usab-usaba ang akong suhol. 42Kon wala pa ako ubani sa Dios nga gitahod sa akong amahan nga si Isaac, nga mao usab ang Dios ni Abraham, gipalayas mo na tingali ako nga wala gayoy dala. Apan nakita sa Dios ang akong kalisod ug paghago, busa gibadlong ka niya kagabii.”
Ang Kasabotan ni Jacob ug ni Laban
43Mitubag si Laban, “Kanang mga babaye akong mga anak, ug ang ilang mga anak akong mga apo. Ug kanang mga kahayopan ako usab. Tanan nga makita mo ako. Apan, unsa pa may akong mahimo sa akong mga anak ug mga apo karon? 44Sige, maghimo kita ug kasabotan ug pamatud-an ta kini.”
45Busa mikuha si Jacob ug dako nga bato ug iya kining gipatindog isip handomanan. 46Unya gisugo niya ang iyang mga paryente nga magtapok ug mga bato diha daplin niini. Pagkahuman, nangaon sila duol sa tinapok nga mga bato. 47Ginganlan ni Laban ang tinapok nga mga bato ug Jegar Sahaduta.31:47 Jegar Sahaduta: Ang buot ipasabot niini sa pinulongang Aramico, tinapok isip pagpamatuod. Apan ginganlan kini ni Jacob nga Galeed.31:47 Galeed: Ang buot ipasabot sa Hebreo, tinapok isip pagpamatuod.
48Miingon si Laban, “Kining tinapok nga mga bato magpamatuod sa kasabotan natong duha.” Mao kana ang hinungdan kon nganong ginganlan kadtong maong tinapok ug Galeed. 49Gitawag usab kini ug Mizpa,31:49 Mizpa: Ang buot ipasabot sa Hebreo, bantayanan. tungod kay miingon si Laban, “Hinaut pa nga bantayan kita sa Ginoo sa atong panagbulag. 50Ug kon dili mo ayohon pagtratar ang akong mga anak, o maminyo ka pa ug lain, hinumdomi nga bisan dili ako masayod, anaa ang Dios nga saksi sa atong kasabotan.”
51Miingon pa gayod si Laban kang Jacob, “Ania ang tinapok nga mga bato ug ang bato nga handomanan nga magapamatuod sa atong kasabotan. 52Kining tinapok nga mga bato ug ang bato nga handomanan mao ang magapamatuod sa atong kasabotan nga dili ako molapas niining tinapok nga mga bato aron paghimo ug daotan kanimo, ug dili ka usab molapas niining tinapok nga mga bato ug bato nga handomanan aron paghimo ug daotan kanako. 53Hinaut pa nga ang dios31:53 dios: o, mga dios; o, Dios. sa imong apohan nga si Abraham ug ang dios31:53 dios: o, mga dios; o, Dios. sa akong amahan nga si Nahor, nga mao usab ang mga dios31:53 mga dios: o, dios; o, Dios. sa ilang amahan nga si Tera, mao ang mohukom kanatong duha.” Nanumpa usab si Jacob sa ngalan sa Dios nga gitahod sa iyang amahan nga si Isaac. 54Naghalad si Jacob didto sa bukid, ug unya gitawag niya ang iyang mga paryente ug nangaon sila. Nagpabilin sila didto sa bukid nianang gabhiona.
55Sayo kaayo nianang pagkabuntag, gihalokan ni Laban ug gipanalanginan ang iyang mga anak ug mga apo, ug milakaw siya balik sa iyang dapit.

22Yakob ne nʼabusuafoɔ dwaneeɛ no, nnansa akyiri ansa na Laban tee sɛ wɔkɔ. 23Laban faa ne fiefoɔ, kaa ne ho, de anibereɛ tii Yakob.

25Ɛberɛ a Laban ne ne fiefoɔ kɔtoo Yakob no, na Yakob asisi ne ntomadan wɔ bepɔ Gilead atifi. Laban ne ne fiefoɔ no nso sisii wɔn ntomadan wɔ bepɔ no ayaase. 26Afei, Laban kɔɔ Yakob nkyɛn kɔbisaa no sɛ, “Woadaadaa me. Asɛm bɛn na wode adi me yi?

35Afei, Rahel ka kyerɛɛ nʼagya sɛ, “Agya, mma wo bo mfu me sɛ mete hɔ wɔ wʼanim na mensɔre nnyina hɔ, ɛfiri sɛ, makɔ afikyire.” Enti, Laban toaa so hwehwɛɛ abosom no ara, nanso wanhunu.

Laban Ne Yakob Yɛ Apam
43Laban buaa Yakob sɛ, “Mmaa no yɛ me mmammaa, mmɔfra no nso yɛ me nananom, ɛnna nnwankuo no nso yɛ me nnwankuo. Nneɛma a wohunu yi nyinaa yɛ me dea.

Deuteronomy 28 NIV – 5 Mose 28 ASCB
Blessings for Obedience
1If you fully obey the Lord your God and carefully follow all his commands I give you today, the Lord your God will set you high above all the nations on earth. 2All these blessings will come on you and accompany you if you obey the Lord your God:
3You will be blessed in the city and blessed in the country.
4The fruit of your womb will be blessed, and the crops of your land and the young of your livestock—the calves of your herds and the lambs of your flocks.
5Your basket and your kneading trough will be blessed.
6You will be blessed when you come in and blessed when you go out.
7The Lord will grant that the enemies who rise up against you will be defeated before you. They will come at you from one direction but flee from you in seven.
8The Lord will send a blessing on your barns and on everything you put your hand to. The Lord your God will bless you in the land he is giving you.
9The Lord will establish you as his holy people, as he promised you on oath, if you keep the commands of the Lord your God and walk in obedience to him. 10Then all the peoples on earth will see that you are called by the name of the Lord, and they will fear you. 11The Lord will grant you abundant prosperity—in the fruit of your womb, the young of your livestock and the crops of your ground—in the land he swore to your ancestors to give you.
12The Lord will open the heavens, the storehouse of his bounty, to send rain on your land in season and to bless all the work of your hands. You will lend to many nations but will borrow from none. 13The Lord will make you the head, not the tail. If you pay attention to the commands of the Lord your God that I give you this day and carefully follow them, you will always be at the top, never at the bottom. 14Do not turn aside from any of the commands I give you today, to the right or to the left, following other gods and serving them.
Curses for Disobedience
15However, if you do not obey the Lord your God and do not carefully follow all his commands and decrees I am giving you today, all these curses will come on you and overtake you:
16You will be cursed in the city and cursed in the country.
17Your basket and your kneading trough will be cursed.
18The fruit of your womb will be cursed, and the crops of your land, and the calves of your herds and the lambs of your flocks.
19You will be cursed when you come in and cursed when you go out.
20The Lord will send on you curses, confusion and rebuke in everything you put your hand to, until you are destroyed and come to sudden ruin because of the evil you have done in forsaking him.28:20 Hebrew me 21The Lord will plague you with diseases until he has destroyed you from the land you are entering to possess. 22The Lord will strike you with wasting disease, with fever and inflammation, with scorching heat and drought, with blight and mildew, which will plague you until you perish. 23The sky over your head will be bronze, the ground beneath you iron. 24The Lord will turn the rain of your country into dust and powder; it will come down from the skies until you are destroyed.
25The Lord will cause you to be defeated before your enemies. You will come at them from one direction but flee from them in seven, and you will become a thing of horror to all the kingdoms on earth. 26Your carcasses will be food for all the birds and the wild animals, and there will be no one to frighten them away. 27The Lord will afflict you with the boils of Egypt and with tumors, festering sores and the itch, from which you cannot be cured. 28The Lord will afflict you with madness, blindness and confusion of mind. 29At midday you will grope about like a blind person in the dark. You will be unsuccessful in everything you do; day after day you will be oppressed and robbed, with no one to rescue you.
30You will be pledged to be married to a woman, but another will take her and rape her. You will build a house, but you will not live in it. You will plant a vineyard, but you will not even begin to enjoy its fruit. 31Your ox will be slaughtered before your eyes, but you will eat none of it. Your donkey will be forcibly taken from you and will not be returned. Your sheep will be given to your enemies, and no one will rescue them. 32Your sons and daughters will be given to another nation, and you will wear out your eyes watching for them day after day, powerless to lift a hand. 33A people that you do not know will eat what your land and labor produce, and you will have nothing but cruel oppression all your days. 34The sights you see will drive you mad. 35The Lord will afflict your knees and legs with painful boils that cannot be cured, spreading from the soles of your feet to the top of your head.
36The Lord will drive you and the king you set over you to a nation unknown to you or your ancestors. There you will worship other gods, gods of wood and stone. 37You will become a thing of horror, a byword and an object of ridicule among all the peoples where the Lord will drive you.
38You will sow much seed in the field but you will harvest little, because locusts will devour it. 39You will plant vineyards and cultivate them but you will not drink the wine or gather the grapes, because worms will eat them. 40You will have olive trees throughout your country but you will not use the oil, because the olives will drop off. 41You will have sons and daughters but you will not keep them, because they will go into captivity. 42Swarms of locusts will take over all your trees and the crops of your land.
43The foreigners who reside among you will rise above you higher and higher, but you will sink lower and lower. 44They will lend to you, but you will not lend to them. They will be the head, but you will be the tail.
45All these curses will come on you. They will pursue you and overtake you until you are destroyed, because you did not obey the Lord your God and observe the commands and decrees he gave you. 46They will be a sign and a wonder to you and your descendants forever. 47Because you did not serve the Lord your God joyfully and gladly in the time of prosperity, 48therefore in hunger and thirst, in nakedness and dire poverty, you will serve the enemies the Lord sends against you. He will put an iron yoke on your neck until he has destroyed you.
49The Lord will bring a nation against you from far away, from the ends of the earth, like an eagle swooping down, a nation whose language you will not understand, 50a fierce-looking nation without respect for the old or pity for the young. 51They will devour the young of your livestock and the crops of your land until you are destroyed. They will leave you no grain, new wine or olive oil, nor any calves of your herds or lambs of your flocks until you are ruined. 52They will lay siege to all the cities throughout your land until the high fortified walls in which you trust fall down. They will besiege all the cities throughout the land the Lord your God is giving you.
53Because of the suffering your enemy will inflict on you during the siege, you will eat the fruit of the womb, the flesh of the sons and daughters the Lord your God has given you. 54Even the most gentle and sensitive man among you will have no compassion on his own brother or the wife he loves or his surviving children, 55and he will not give to one of them any of the flesh of his children that he is eating. It will be all he has left because of the suffering your enemy will inflict on you during the siege of all your cities. 56The most gentle and sensitive woman among you—so sensitive and gentle that she would not venture to touch the ground with the sole of her foot—will begrudge the husband she loves and her own son or daughter 57the afterbirth from her womb and the children she bears. For in her dire need she intends to eat them secretly because of the suffering your enemy will inflict on you during the siege of your cities.
58If you do not carefully follow all the words of this law, which are written in this book, and do not revere this glorious and awesome name—the Lord your God— 59the Lord will send fearful plagues on you and your descendants, harsh and prolonged disasters, and severe and lingering illnesses. 60He will bring on you all the diseases of Egypt that you dreaded, and they will cling to you. 61The Lord will also bring on you every kind of sickness and disaster not recorded in this Book of the Law, until you are destroyed. 62You who were as numerous as the stars in the sky will be left but few in number, because you did not obey the Lord your God. 63Just as it pleased the Lord to make you prosper and increase in number, so it will please him to ruin and destroy you. You will be uprooted from the land you are entering to possess.
64Then the Lord will scatter you among all nations, from one end of the earth to the other. There you will worship other gods—gods of wood and stone, which neither you nor your ancestors have known. 65Among those nations you will find no repose, no resting place for the sole of your foot. There the Lord will give you an anxious mind, eyes weary with longing, and a despairing heart. 66You will live in constant suspense, filled with dread both night and day, never sure of your life. 67In the morning you will say, “If only it were evening!” and in the evening, “If only it were morning!”—because of the terror that will fill your hearts and the sights that your eyes will see. 68The Lord will send you back in ships to Egypt on a journey I said you should never make again. There you will offer yourselves for sale to your enemies as male and female slaves, but no one will buy you.
