31 — Genesis

1But after that he had heard the words of the sons of Laban, saying: Jacob hath taken away all that was our father’s, and being enriched by his substance is become great.Ma dopo che ebbe udite le parole dei figliuoli di Laban, che dicevano: Giacobbe ha usurpato tutto quello che era di nostro padre, e dei beni di lui si è fatto ricco signore:AFTER he heard the wordes of Labans sonnes saying: Iacob hath taken al that was our fathers, and being enriched of his substance, is become great:Postquam autem audivit verba filiorum Laban dicentium: Tulit Jacob omnia quæ fuerunt patris nostri, et de illius facultate ditatus, factus est inclytus: 2And perceiving also, that Laban’s countenance was not towards him as yesterday and the other day.Osservò ancora, che Laban non lo guardava collo stesso occhio, che per lo passato,and perceauing also Labans countenance, that it was not towards him as yesterday and the other day,animadvertit quoque faciem Laban, quod non esset erga se sicut heri et nudiustertius, 3Especially the Lord saying to him: Return into the land of thy fathers and to thy kindred, and I will be with thee.Dicendogli di più il Signore: Torna alla terra de' padri tuoi, e a' tuoi parenti, e io sarò teco.especially our Lord saying to him: Returne into the land of thy fathers, and to thy kinred, and I wil be with thee.maxime dicente sibi Domino: Revertere in terram patrum tuorum, et ad generationem tuam, eroque tecum. 4He sent, and called Rachel and Lia into the field, where he fed the flocks,Fece venire Rachele e Lia al campo, dove ei pasceva i greggi,He sent, and called Rachel and Lia into the field, where he fed the flockes,Misit, et vocavit Rachel et Liam in agrum, ubi pascebat greges, 5And said to them: I see your father’s countenance is not towards me as yesterday and the other day: but the God of my father hath been with me.E disse loro: Io veggo, che il padre vostro non mi guarda collo stesso occhio, che per lo passato: ma il Dio di mio padre è stato con me.and said to them: I see your fathers countenance that it is not towards me as yesterday and the other day: and the God of my father hath bene with me.dixitque eis: Video faciem patris vestri quod non sit erga me sicut heri et nudiustertius: Deus autem patris mei fuit mecum. 6And you know that I have served your father to the uttermost of my power.E voi sapete, come con tutto il mio potere ho servito al padre vostro.And your selues knowe that I haue serued your father to the vttermost of my power.Et ipsæ nostis quod totis viribus meis servierim patri vestro.

7Yea your father hath also overreached me, and hath changed my wages ten times: and yet God hath not suffered him to hurt me.Ma il padre vostro mi gabbò, e ha mutato dieci volte la mia mercede: e con tutto questo Dio non ha permesso, ch'ei mi facesse del male.Yea your father also hath circum••ented me, and hath changed my wages tenne times: and yet God hath not suffred him to hurt me.Sed et pater vester circumvenit me et mutavit mercedem meam decem vicibus: et tamen non dimisit eum Deus ut noceret mihi. 8If at any time, he said: The speckled shall be thy wages: all the sheep brought forth speckled: but when he said on the contrary: Thou shalt take all the white one for thy wages: all the flocks brought forth white ones.Se una volta disse: Quelli di color vario saranno la tua mercede, le pecore figliavano tutte agnelli chiazzati: quando per lo contrario egli disse: Tu prenderai per tuo salario tutti i bianchi, tutti i greggi figliavano agnelli bianchi.If at any time he said: They of diuers colours shal be thy wages: al the ••••pe brought forth young of diuers colours, but when he said contrarie: Thou shalt take al the white ones for thy wages: al the flockes brought forth white onesSi quando dixit: Variæ erunt mercedes tuæ: pariebant omnes oves varios fœtus; quando vero e contrario, ait: Alba quæque accipies pro mercede: omnes greges alba pepererunt. 9And God hath taken your father’s substance, and given it to me.E Dio ha prese le facoltà del padre vostro, e le ha date a me.And God 〈…〉 taken your fathers substance, and geuen it to me.Tulitque Deus substantiam patris vestri, et dedit mihi. 10For after the time came of the ewes conceiving, I lifted up my eyes, and saw in my sleep, that the males which leaped upon the females were of divers colours, and spotted, and speckled.Imperocché quando fu venuto il tempo, in cui le pecore dovean concepire, io alzai gli occhi miei, e vidi dormendo i maschi pezzati, e macchiati, e di colori diversi, i quali coprivano le femmine.For after the time came of the ewes conceauing I lifted vp mine eyes, and sawe in my sleepe the males ascending vpon the females of diuers colours, and the spotted, and the speckled.Postquam enim conceptus ovium tempus advenerat, levavi oculos meos, et vidi in somnis ascendentes mares super feminas, varios et maculosos, et diversorum colorum. 11And the angel of God said to me in my sleep: Jacob. And I answered: Here I am.E l'Angelo di Dio mi disse in sogno: Giacobbe? E io risposi: Eccomi qui.And the angel of God said to me in sleepe: Iacob? And I answered: Here I am.Dixitque angelus Dei ad me in somnis: Jacob ? Et ego respondi: Adsum.

12And he said: Lift up thy eyes, and see that all the males leaping upon the females, are of divers colours, spotted and speckled. For I have seen all that Laban hath done to thee.Ed egli disse: Alza gli occhi tuoi, e mira i maschi tutti, che cuopron le femmine, pezzati, e macchiati, e di vario colore: perocché io ho veduto tutto quello che ha fatto a te Laban.Who said: Lyft vp thine eyes, and see al the males ascending vpon the females, them of diuers colours, the spotted and the speckled. For I haue seene al things that Laban hath done to thee.Qui ait: Leva oculos tuos, et vide universos masculos ascendentes super feminas, varios, maculosos, atque respersos. Vidi enim omnia quæ fecit tibi Laban. 13I am the God of Bethel, where thou didst anoint the stone, and make a vow to me. Now therefore arise, and go out of this land, and return into thy native country.Io sono il Dio di Bethel, dove tu ungesti la pietra, e facesti a me il voto. Adesso adunque levati, e parti da questa terra per tornare alla terra dove sei nato.I am the God of Bathel, where thou didest annointe the stone, and didest vowe the vowe vnto me. Now therfore arise, and goe out of this land, returning into the land of thy natiuitie.Ego sum Deus Bethel, ubi unxisti lapidem, et votum vovisti mihi. Nunc ergo surge, et egredere de terra hac, revertens in terram nativitatis tuæ. 14And Rachel and Lia answered: Have we any thing left among the goods and inheritance of our father’s house?Rachele e Lia risposero: Riman egli forse qualche cosa per noi delle facoltà, e dell'eredità della casa di nostro padre?And Rachel and Lia answered: Haue we any thing left in the goods, and heritage of our fathers house?Responderuntque Rachel et Lia: Numquid habemus residui quidquam in facultatibus et hæreditate domus patris nostri ? 15Hath he not counted us as strangers, and sold us, and eaten up the price of us?Non ci ha egli riguardate come straniere, e ci ha vendute, e ha mangiato il prezzo, che di noi ha ritratto?Hath he not reputed vs as strangers, and sould vs, and eaten vp the price of vs?nonne quasi alienas reputavit nos, et vendidit, comeditque pretium nostrum ? 16But God hath taken our father’s riches, and delivered them to us, and to our children: wherefore, do all that God hath commanded thee.Ma Dio ha prese le ricchezze di nostro padre, e le ha date a noi, e a' nostri figliuoli: fa' adunque tutto quello che Dio ti ha comandato.But God hath taken our fathers riches, and deliuered them to vs, and to our children: wherfore do al things, that God hath commanded thee.Sed Deus tulit opes patris nostri, et eas tradidit nobis, ac filiis nostris: unde omnia quæ præcepit tibi Deus, fac.

17Then Jacob rose up, and having set his children and wives upon camels, went his way.Si ammannì adunque Giacobbe, e messi i figliuoli, e le mogli sopra i cammelli, se ne partì.Iacob therfore rose vp, and setting his children, and wiues vpon camels, went his way.Surrexit itaque Jacob, et impositis liberis ac conjugibus suis super camelos, abiit. 18And he took all his substance, and flocks, and whatsoever he had gotten in Mesopotamia, and went forward to Isaac, his father, to the land of Chanaan.E prese tutto il suo, e i greggi, e tutto quello che avea guadagnato nella Mesopotamia, incamminandosi verso suo padre Isacco alla terra di Chanaan.And he tooke al his substance, and flockes, and whatsoeuer he had gotten in Mesopotamia, and went forward to Isaac his father into the land of Chanaan.Tulitque omnem substantiam suam, et greges, et quidquid in Mesopotamia acquisierat, pergens ad Isaac patrem suum in terram Chanaan. 19At that time Laban was gone to shear his sheep, and Rachel stole away her father’s idols.Laban in quel tempo era andato a tosare le pecore, e Rachele rubò gl'idoli di suo padre.At that time Laban was gone to sheare his sheepe, and Rachel stole the idols of her father.Eo tempore ierat Laban ad tondendas oves, et Rachel furata est idola patris sui. 20And Jacob would not confess to his father-in-law that he was flying away.E Giacobbe non volle accusare a Laban la sua fuga.And Iacob would not confesse to his father in lawe that he fled.Noluitque Jacob confiteri socero suo quod fugeret. 21And when he was gone, together with all that belonged to him, and having passed the river, was going on towards mount Galaad,E partito ch'ei fu con tutto quello che a lui apparteneva, mentre passato il fiume (Eufrate) si avanzava verso il monte Galaad,And when he was gone as wel him selfe as al things that were his right, and hauing passed the riuer was marching on to Mount Galaad,Cumque abiisset tam ipse quam omnia quæ juris sui erant, et amne transmisso pergeret contra montem Galaad, 22It was told Laban on the third day, that Jacob fled.Fu portato avviso a Laban il terzo giorno, che Giacobbe fuggiva.it was told Laban the third day that Iacob fled.nuntiatum est Laban die tertio quod fugeret Jacob. 23And he took his brethren with him, and pursued after him seven days; and overtook him in the mount of Galaad.Ed egli, presi seco i suoi fratelli, lo seguitò per sette giorni, e lo raggiunse sul monte di Galaad.Who, taking his brethren vnto him, pursued him seuen dayes: and he ouertoke him in the Mount Galaad.Qui, assumptis fratribus suis, persecutus est eum diebus septem: et comprehendit eum in monte Galaad.

24And he saw in a dream God, saying to him: Take heed thou speak not any thing harshly against Jacob.E vide in sogno Dio, che gli disse: Guardati dal dire una torta parola contro Giacobbe.And he saw in his sleepe God saying vnto him: Take hede thou speake not roughly anie thing against Iacob.Viditque in somnis dicentem sibi Deum: Cave ne quidquam aspere loquaris contra Jacob. 25Now Jacob had pitched his tent in the mountain: and when he, with his brethren, had overtaken him, he pitched his tent in the same mount of Galaad.E Giacobbe avea già teso il suo padiglione sul monte: e sopraggiunto Laban co' suoi fratelli, la sua tenda piantò sullo stesso monte di Galaad.And Iacob had now pitched his tent in the mountaine: and when he with his brethren had ouertaken him, he pitched his tent in the same Mount Galaad.Jamque Jacob extenderat in monte tabernaculum: cumque ille consecutus fuisset eum cum fratribus suis, in eodem monte Galaad fixit tentorium. 26And he said to Jacob: Why hast thou done thus, to carry away, without my knowledge, my daughters as captives taken with the sword?E disse a Giacobbe: Per qual motivo hai operato in tal guisa, menando via le mie figlie senza mia saputa, come prigioniere di guerra?And he said to Iacob: Why didest thou so, that vnwitting to me thou wouldest carie away my daughters as captiues with the sword?Et dixit ad Jacob: Quare ita egisti, ut clam me abigeres filias meas quasi captivas gladio ? 27Why wouldst thou run away privately, and not acquaint me, that I might have brought thee on the way with joy, and with songs, and with timbrels, and with harps?Perché hai tu voluto fuggire senza ch'io lo sapessi, e non anzi avvertirmi, affinché ti accompagnassi con festa, e cantici, e timpani, e cetre?Why wouldest thou flee without my knowledge, and not tel me, that I might haue brought thee on the way with ioy, and songues, and timbrels, and eithernes?cur ignorante me fugere voluisti, nec indicare mihi, ut prosequerer te cum gaudio, et canticis, et tympanis, et citharis ? 28Thou hast not suffered me to kiss my sons and daughters; thou hast done foolishly; and now indeed,Non mi hai permesso di dare un bacio a' miei figliuoli, e alle mie figlie: ti sei portato da stolto: e certamente adessoThou hast not suffred me to kisse my sonnes and daughters: thou hast donne foolishly now also in dede,Non es passus ut oscularer filios meos et filias: stulte operatus es: et nunc quidem 29It is in my power to return thee evil; but the God of your father said to me yesterday: Take heed thou speak not any thing harshly against Jacob.È in poter mio farti pagar il fio. Ma il Dio del padre vostro ieri mi disse: Guardati dal parlare con asprezza contro Giacobbe.my hand is able to requite thee euil: but the God of your father said vnto me yesterday: Take hede thou speake not any thing against Iacob roughly.valet manus mea reddere tibi malum: sed Deus patris vestri heri dixit mihi: Cave ne loquaris contra Jacob quidquam durius.

30Suppose thou didst desire to go to thy friends, and hadst a longing after thy father’s house: why hast thou stolen away my gods?Tu desideravi di andartene a trovare i tuoi, e ti stimolava il desiderio della casa paterna, ti si conceda: perché mi hai rubati i miei dei?Suppose, thou diddest desire to goe to thy freinds, and hadest a longing to thy fathers house: why didest thou steale my goods?Esto, ad tuos ire cupiebas, et desiderio erat tibi domus patris tui: cur furatus es deos meos ? 31Jacob answered: That I departed unknown to thee, it was for fear lest thou wouldst take away thy daughters by force.Rispose Giacobbe: Quanto all'essere partito senza tua saputa, io temei, che non mi togliessi per forza le tue figlie.Iacob answered: In that I departed vnwitting to thee, I feared lest thou wouldest take away thy daughters by force.Respondit Jacob: Quod inscio te profectus sum, timui ne violenter auferres filias tuas. 32But, whereas, thou chargest me with theft: with whomsoever thou shalt find thy gods, let him be slain before our brethren. Search, and if thou find any of thy things with me, take them away. Now when he said this, he knew not that Rachel had stolen the idols.Quanto poi al furto, di cui mi riconvieni; chiunque sia colui, presso del quale ritroverai i tuoi dei, sia messo a morte alla presenza de' tuoi fratelli: fa' le tue ricerche: tutto quello che troverai di tuo presso di me, prendilo pure. Dicendo questo, egli ignorava, che Rachele avesse rubato gl'idoli.But wheras thou chargest me with theft: with whom soeuer thou shalt find thy goddes, let him be slaine before our brethen. search, what soeuer of thy things thou shalt finde with me, and take away. Saying this, he knew not that Rachel had stollen the idols.Quod autem furti me arguis: apud quemcumque inveneris deos tuos, necetur coram fratribus nostris: scrutare, quidquid tuorum apud me inveneris, et aufer. Hæc dicens, ignorabat quod Rachel furata esset idola. 33So Laban went into the tent of Jacob, and of Lia, and of both the handmaids, and found them not. And when he was entered into Rachel’s tent,Entrato adunque Laban nella tenda di Giacobbe e di Lia, e dell'una e dell'altra schiava, niente trovò. Ma entrando egli nella tenda di Rachele,Laban therfore hauing gone into the tent of Iacob, and of Lia, and of both the hand-maides, found them not. And when he was entred into Rachels tent,Ingressus itaque Laban tabernaculum Jacob, et Liæ, et utriusque famulæ, non invenit. Cumque intrasset tentorium Rachelis, 34She, in haste, hid the idols under the camel’s furniture, and sat upon them: and when he had searched all the tent, and found nothing,Nascose ella con fretta gl'idoli sotto il basto di un cammello, e vi si pose sopra a sedere: e rifrustando egli tutta la tenda senza trovarli,she in hast hid the idols vnder the camels litter, and satte therupon: and when he had sought al the tent, and found nothing,illa festinans abscondit idola subter stramenta cameli, et sedit desuper: scrutantique omne tentorium, et nihil invenienti, 35She said: Let not my lord be angry that I cannot rise up before thee, because it has now happened to me according to the custom of women. So his careful search was in vain.Ella disse: Non prenda in mala parte il signor mio, se io non posso alzarmi alla tua presenza: perocché ho adesso il solito incomodo delle donne: così fu delusa l'ansietà del cercatore.she said: Let not my lord be angrie that I can not rise vp before thee, because according to the custome of wemen it is now chanced to me. so his carefulnes in seeking was deluded.ait: Ne irascatur dominus meus quod coram te assurgere nequeo: quia juxta consuetudinem feminarum nunc accidit mihi: sic delusa sollicitudo quærentis est.

36And Jacob being angry, said in a chiding manner: For what fault of mine, and for what offence on my part hast thou so hotly pursued me,E Giacobbe sdegnato disse con agre rampogne: Per qual mia colpa, o per qual mio peccato mi hai tenuto dietro con tanto calore,And Iacob being angrie said in chiding maner: For what fault of myne, and for what offence of my part hast thou so chaffed after me,Tumensque Jacob, cum jurgio ait: Quam ob culpam meam, et ob quod peccatum meum sic exarsisti post me, 37And searched all my household stuff? What hast thou found of all the substance of thy house? lay it here before my brethren, and thy brethren, and let them judge between me and thee.E hai rifrustato tutta la mia suppellettile? Che hai tu trovato di roba della tua casa? ponla qui alla presenza de' fratelli miei, e de' tuoi fratelli, ed ei sieno giudici tra me, e te.and searched al my houshould stuffe? What hast thou found of al the sabstance of thy house? lay it here before my brethren, and thy brethren, and let them iudge betwen me & thee.et scrutatus es omnem supellectilem meam ? quid invenisti de cuncta substantia domus tuæ ? pone hic coram fratribus meis, et fratribus tuis, et judicent inter me et te. 38Have I, therefore, been with thee twenty years? thy ewes and goats were not barren, the rams of thy flocks I did not eat:Stetti io per questo venti anni teco? Le tue pecore, e le tue capre non furono sterili; io non mangiai gli arieti del tuo gregge:Haue I therfore bene with thee twentie yeares? thy ewes and goates were not barren, the wethers of thy flocke I did not eate:Idcirco viginti annis fui tecum ? oves tuæ et capræ steriles non fuerunt, arietes gregis tui non comedi: 39Neither did I shew thee that which the beast had torn; I made good all the damage: whatsoever was lost by theft, thou didst exact it of me:Né io ti facea vedere quelle che avea rapito una fiera; io pagava tutto il danno: tu esigevi da me tutto quel che era rubato:neyther that which the beast had caught did I shew to thee, I made good al the damage: whatsoeuer perished by theft, thou didest exact it of me:nec captum a bestia ostendi tibi, ego damnum omne reddebam: quidquid furto peribat, a me exigebas: 40Day and night was I parched with heat, and with frost, and sleep departed from my eyes.Dì, e notte io era arso dal caldo, e dal gelo, e fuggiva il sonno dagli occhi miei.day and night was I parched with heate, and with frost, and sleepe did flye from myne eyes.die noctuque æstu urebar, et gelu, fugiebatque somnus ab oculis meis.

41And in this manner have I served thee in thy house twenty years, fourteen for thy daughters, and six for thy flocks: thou hast changed also my wages ten times.E in tal guisa a te servii per venti anni in tua casa, quattordici per le figliuole, e sei pe' tuoi greggi: tu pur cangiasti la mia mercede per dieci volte.And in this sorte haue I serued thee in thy house twentie yeares, fourtene for thy daughters, and six for thy flockes: thou hast changed also my wages tenne times.Sicque per viginti annos in domo tua servivi tibi, quatuordecim pro filiabus, et sex pro gregibus tuis: immutasti quoque mercedem meam decem vicibus. 42Unless the God of my father, Abraham, and the fear of Isaac, had stood by me, peradventure now thou hadst sent me away naked: God beheld my affliction and the labour of my hands, and rebuked thee yesterday.Se Il Dio del padre mio Abramo, e colui, che è temuto da Isacco, non mi avesse assistito, mi avresti forse adesso rimandato ignudo: Dio ha mirato la mia afflizione, e la fatica delle mie mani, e ieri ti sgridò.Vnles the God of my father Abraham, and the feare of Isaac had holpe me, peraduenture now thou h••••st sent me away naked: God beheld my affliction and the laboure of my hands, and rebuked thee yesterday.Nisi Deus patris mei Abraham, et timor Isaac affuisset mihi, forsitan modo nudum me demisisses: afflictionem meam et laborem manuum mearum respexit Deus, et arguit te heri. 43Laban answered him: The daughters are mine, and the children, and thy flocks, and all things that thou seest are mine: what can I do to my children, and grandchildren?Rispose a lui Laban: Le mie figliuole, e i figliuoli, e greggi tuoi, e quanto tu vedi, son cosa mia: che posso io fare contro de' figli, o sia nipoti miei?Laban answered him: The daughters are mine and the children, and thy flockes, and al things that thou seest are mine: what can I do to my daughters, and nephews?Respondit ei Laban: Filiæ meæ et filii, et greges tui, et omnia quæ cernis, mea sunt: quid possum facere filiis et nepotibus meis ? 44Come, therefore, let us enter into a league; that it may be for a testimony between me and thee.Vieni adunque, e contraiamo alleanza, la quale serva di testimonianza tra me e te.Come therfore, let vs enter in league: that it may be for a testimonie betwen me and thee.Veni ergo, et ineamus fœdus, ut sit in testimonium inter me et te. 45And Jacob took a stone, and set it up for a title.Prese adunque Giacobbe una pietra, e la eresse in monumento:Iacob therfore tooke a stone, and erected it for a title:Tulit itaque Jacob lapidem, et erexit illum in titulum:

46And he said to his brethren: Bring hither stones. And they, gathering stones together, made a heap, and they ate upon it.E disse a' suoi fratelli: Portate pietre. E quelli, raunatele, ne fecero un monticello, sopra del quale mangiarono.and he said to his brethren: Being hither stones. Who gethering them 〈…〉 made a heape, and they did eate vpon it:dixitque fratribus suis: Afferte lapides. Qui congregantes fecerunt tumulum, comederuntque super eum: 47And Laban called it, The witness heap; and Jacob, The hillock of testimony: each of them according to the propriety of his language.E Laban chiamollo il Monticello del testimone, e Giacobbe il Monticello della testimonianza, ciascheduno secondo la proprietà del suo linguaggio.Which Laban called The witnesse heape: and Iacob called The hillock of testimonie, either of them according to the proprietie of his language.quem vocavit Laban Tumulum testis: et Jacob, Acervum testimonii, uterque juxta proprietatem linguæ suæ. 48And Laban said: This heap shall be a witness between me and thee this day, and therefore the name thereof was called Galaad, that is, The witness heap.E Laban disse: Questo monticello sarà oggi testimone tra me e te; e per questo fu dato a quel monticello il nome di Galaad, cioè Monticello del testimone.And Laban said: This heape shal be a witnes betwen me and thee this day, and therfore the name therof was called Galaad, that is, The witnes heape.Dixitque Laban: Tumulus iste erit testis inter me et te hodie, et idcirco appellatum est nomen ejus Galaad, id est, Tumulus testis. 49The Lord behold and judge between us, when we shall be gone one from the other.Il Signore ponga mente, e sia giudice tra di noi, quando ci sarem dipartiti l'uno dall'altro.Our Lord behold and iudge betwen vs when we shal be departed one from the other,Intueatur et judicet Dominus inter nos quando recesserimus a nobis, 50If thou afflict my daughters, and if thou bring in other wives over them: none is witness of our speech but God, who is present and beholdeth.Se tu farai oltraggio alle mie figliuole, e se oltre di esse prenderai altre mogli: nissuno è testimone delle nostre parole eccetto Dio, il qual presente ci mira.if thou shalt afflict my daughters, and if thou bring in other wiues ouer them: none is witnes of our talke but God, who is present and beholdeth.si afflixeris filias meas, et si introduxeris alias uxores super eas: nullus sermonis nostri testis est absque Deo, qui præsens respicit. 51And he said again to Jacob: Behold this heap, and the stone which I have set up between me and thee,E di poi disse a Giacobbe: Ecco il monticello, e la pietra, che io ho eretta tra me e te,And he said againe to Iacob: Behold this heape, and the stone which I haue erected betwen me and thee,Dixitque rursus ad Jacob: En tumulus hic, et lapis quem erexi inter me et te, 52Shall be a witness: this heap, I say, and the stone, be they for a testimony, if either I shall pass beyond it going towards thee, or thou shalt pass beyond it thinking harm to me.Sarà testimone: questo monticello, io dico, e questa pietra rendan testimonianza, se io l'oltrepasserò istradandomi verso di te, o se tu l'oltrepasserai con intenzione cattiva contro di me.shal be a witnes: this heape, I say, and the stone be they for a testimonie, if either I shal passe beyond it going towards thee, or thou shalt passe beyond it, thinking harme to me.testis erit: tumulus, inquam, iste et lapis sint in testimonium, si aut ego transiero illum pergens ad te, aut tu præterieris, malum mihi cogitans.

53The God of Abraham, and the God of Nachor, the God of their father, judge between us. And Jacob swore by the fear of his father Isaac:Il Dio d'Abramo, e il Dio di Nachor, il Dio del padre loro sia giudice tra di noi. Giurò adunque Giacobbe per lui, che Isacco suo padre temeva:The God of Abraham, and the God of Nachor iudge betwen vs, the God of their father. Iacob therfore sware by the feare of his father Isaac:Deus Abraham, et Deus Nachor, judicet inter nos, Deus patris eorum. Juravit ergo Jacob per timorem patris sui Isaac: 54And after he had offered sacrifices in the mountain, he called his brethren to eat bread. And when they had eaten, they lodged there:E immolate sul monte le vittime, invitò i suoi fratelli a mangiare del pane. E quelli mangiato che l'ebbero, ivi si fermarono.and after he had offred victimes in the mountaine, he called his brethren to eate bread. Who when they had eaten, lodged there:immolatisque victimis in monte, vocavit fratres suos ut ederent panem. Qui cum comedissent, manserunt ibi: 55But Laban arose in the night, and kissed his sons and daughters, and blessed them: and returned to his place.Quindi Laban alzatosi, che era ancor notte, baciò i figliuoli, e le figlie sue, e li benedisse, e tornossene a casa sua.but Laban arising in the night, kissed his sonnes, and daughters, and blessed them: and returned vnto his place.Laban vero de nocte consurgens, osculatus est filios, et filias suas, et benedixit illis: reversusque est in locum suum.
