And when Rachel saw that she bore Jacob no children, Rachel envied her sister; and said to Jacob, Give me children, or else I die.
2 Jakob loe Rachel nuiah palungphui moe, anih khaeah, Kai loe nang caa kaaksak thaih Sithaw ah maw ka oh? tiah a naa.
And Jacob's anger was kindled against Rachel; and he said, [Am] I in God's stead, who hath withheld from thee the fruit of the womb?
3 To naah anih mah, Khenah, ka tamna Billah khaeah caeh ah, anih mah caa na sah pae nasoe, anih rang hoiah imthung takoh kang doet toeng han, tiah a naa.
And she said, Behold, my maid Bilhah, go in to her; and she shall bear upon my knees, that I may also have children by her.
4 To pongah anih mah a tamna Billah to zu ah paek; anih to Jakob mah iih haih.
And she gave him Bilhah, her handmaid, for a wife: and Jacob went in to her.
5 Anih loe zokpomh moe, Jakob hanah capa mae to sak pae.
And Bilhah conceived, and bore Jacob a son.
6 To naah Rachel mah, Sithaw mah kai ang bomh, tahmen ka hnikhaih lok ang thaih pae moe, capa maeto ang paek boeh, tiah thuih; to pongah anih mah Dan, tiah ahmin phui.

And Reuben went, in the days of wheat-harvest, and found mandrakes in the field, and brought them to his mother Leah. Then Rachel said to Leah, Give me, I pray thee, of thy son's mandrakes.
15 Toe anih mah, Ka sava nang lomh to khawt ai vop maw? Ka capa ih mandrake thaih doeh na lak bae han vop maw? tiah a naa. Rachel mah, Na capa ih mandrake thaih nang paek pongah, Jakob loe vaiduem nang khaeah iip nasoe, tiah a naa.
And she said to her, [Is it] a small matter that thou hast taken my husband? and wouldest thou take away my son's mandrakes also? And Rachel said, Therefore he shall lie with thee to-night for thy son's mandrakes.
16 Duembang ah Jakob loe lawk hoiah amlaem, anih to Leah mah dawt moe, Kai na iip haih ah, ka capa ih mandrake thaih hoiah nang kang tlai boeh, tiah a naa. To pongah to na qum ah anih khaeah a iih.
And Jacob came from the field in the evening, and Leah went out to meet him, and said, Thou must come in to me; for surely I have hired thee with my son's mandrakes. And he lay with her that night.
17 Sithaw mah Leah ih lok to tahngaih pae, anih mah zokpomh let moe, Jakob hanah capa pangato haih sak pae let.
And God hearkened to Leah, and she conceived, and bore Jacob the fifth son.

And Leah said, God hath endowed me [with] a good dower; now will my husband dwell with me, because I have borne him six sons: and she called his name Zebulun.
21 To pacoengah canu maeto sak moe, anih to Dinah, tiah ahmin phui.
And afterwards she bore a daughter, and called her name Dinah.

And she conceived, and bore a son; and said, God hath taken away my reproach:
24 to pongah anih ih ahmin to Joseph, tiah sak; Angraeng mah kalah capa na paek let nasoe, tiah a thuih.
And she called his name Joseph; and said, The LORD will add to me another son.
25 Rachel mah Joseph tapen pacoengah loe, Jakob mah Laban khaeah, Ka ohhaih ahmuen, ka prae ah, na caehsak lai ah.
And it came to pass, when Rachel had borne Joseph, that Jacob said to Laban, Send me away, that I may go to my own place, and to my country.
26 Ka zu hoi ka caanawk han tok kang sak pae baktih toengah, nihcae to na paek ah loe, na caehsak lai ah; nazetto maw nang hanah tok kang sak pae, tito na panoek, tiah a naa.
Give [me] my wives and my children, for whom I have served thee, and let me go: for thou knowest my service which I have done thee.
27 Toe Laban mah anih khaeah, Na mikcuk naakrak ah ka oh nahaeloe, om raeh; nang pongah ni Angraeng mah tahamhoihaih ang paek, tito ka panoek, tiah a naa.
And Laban said to him, I pray thee, if I have found favor in thine eyes, [tarry: for] I have learned by experience, that the LORD hath blessed me for thy sake.
28 To pacoengah, Na toksakhaih atho thui ah kang paek han hmang, tiah a naa.
And he said, Appoint me thy wages, and I will give [it].
29 Jakob mah anih khaeah, Kawbang maw tok kang sak pae moe, na pacah ih moinawk doeh ka ban thungah kawbang maw pung o, tito na panoek boeh.
And he said to him, Thou knowest how I have served thee, and how thy cattle were with me.
30 Kai kang zo ai naah hmuen zetta ni na tawnh, vaihi loe pung parai boeh; kai kang zoh nathuem hoi kamtong Angraeng mah tahamhoihaih ang paek boeh; kaimah ih imthung takoh hanah loe natuek naah maw tok ka sah tih boeh? tiah a naa.
For [it was] little which thou hadst before I [came], and it is [now] increased to a multitude; and the Lord hath blessed thee since my coming: and now when shall I provide for my own house also?
31 Anih mah, To tih nahaeloe timaw kang paek han? tiah a naa. Jakob mah, Tidoeh na paek hmah; toe ka koeh baktiah nang sak pae nahaeloe, nang ih tuunawk to kang toep pae poe han.
And he said, What shall I give thee? And Jacob said, Thou shalt not give me any thing; if thou wilt do this thing for me, I will again feed [and] keep thy flock:
32 Vaihniah nang tuu pacahhaih ahmuen ah ka caeh moe, aem kaom tuunawk, kamnum hoi kanglung angbaeh tuunawk hoi aem kaom maeh caanawk to ka tapraek han; aem kaom maeh, kamnum hoi kanglung angbaeh tuunawk loe ka toksakhaih atho ah om nasoe.
I will pass through all thy flock to-day, removing from thence all the speckled and spotted cattle, and all the brown cattle among the sheep, and the spotted and speckled among the goats: and [of such] shall be my hire.
33 To tiah ni hmabang ah ka toksakhaih atho na hmaa ah phak naah, ka toenghaih mah kai han lok na thui tih; kai taham moinawk thungah aem kaom ai maeh, kamnum hoi kanglung angbaeh ai tuucaanawk om nahaeloe, to maeh hoi tuu loe kai mah paquk, tiah amnoek thai tih, tiah a naa.
So shall my righteousness answer for me in time to come, when it shall come for my hire before thy face: every one that [is] not speckled and spotted among the goats, and brown among the sheep, that shall be accounted stolen with me.
34 Laban mah, Khenah, na thuih ih lok baktiah om nasoe, tiah a naa.
And Laban said, Behold, I would it might be according to thy word.
35 To na niah anih mah aem kaom maeh, aem kaom maeh amno, kanglung hoi aem kaom maeh, rong kamunm hoi kamling angbaeh tuucaanawk to pahoe boih moe, a caanawk ban ah paek.
And he removed that day the he-goats that were ring-streaked and spotted, and all the she-goats that were speckled and spotted; every one that had [some] white in it, and all the brown among the sheep, and gave [them] into the hands of his sons.
36 Angmah ohhaih ahmuen hoi Jakob ohhaih ahmuen loe ni thumto caeh, to ahmuen ah tuunawk to a suek; Jakob loe kanghmat Laban ih tuunawk to toep pae.
And he set three days' journey between himself and Jacob: and Jacob fed the rest of Laban's flocks.
37 Toe Jakob loe Poplar thing, almond thing hoi azawn ah kaom kahing thing tanghang to lak moe, a thung ih ngan kanglung to amtuengsak hanah, ahin to a saih.
And Jacob took to him rods of green poplar, and of the hazel and chesnut-tree; and peeled white streaks in them, and made the white appear which [was] in the rods.
38 Tuunawk tuinaek han angzoh o naah apa cuuk o pongah, angan kanglung amtueng hanah ahin saih ih thing to tuunawk mah hnuk o thai hanah, tui naekhaih okduk hmaa ah a suek pae.
And he set the rods, which he had peeled, before the flocks in the gutters in the watering-troughs, when the flocks came to drink, that they should conceive when they came to drink.
39 To naah a suek ih thing hmaa ah tuunawk to apaa cuuk o, to pongah caa tapen naah doeh aem kaom ah tacawt boih.
And the flocks conceived before the rods, and brought forth cattle ring-streaked, speckled, and spotted.
40 Jakob mah tuucaanawk hoi maeh caanawk to ahmuen kalah ah tapraek moe, aem kaom tuu hoi maeh, kamnum hoi kamling angbaeh tuu hoi maehnawk to Laban ih tuu pacahhaih ahmuen bangah angqoisak; to tiah Laban ih tuu hoi angmah ih tuunawk to angbaeh han ai ah a suek.
And Jacob separated the lambs, and set the faces of the flocks towards the ring-streaked, and all the brown in the flock of Laban: and he put his own flocks by themselves, and put them not with Laban's cattle.
41 Thacak tuunawk apa cuuk han koeh o naah, ahin saih ih thing taengah apa cuuk o pongah, Jakob mah ahin saih ih thing to tui paekhaih okduk hmaa ah suek pae.
And it came to pass, whenever the stronger cattle conceived, that Jacob laid the rods before the eyes of the cattle in the gutters, that they might conceive among the rods.
42 Toe tuunawk thazok o naah loe, ahin saih ih thing to suem pae ai; to pongah thazok tuunawk loe Laban ih tuu ah oh moe, thacak tuunawk loe Jakob ih tuu ah oh o.
But when the cattle were feeble, he put [them] not in: so the feebler were Laban's, and the stronger Jacob's.
43 To tiah Jakob loe angraeng parai; tuunawk, maehnawk, tamna nongpa hoi nongpatanawk, kaengkuu hrang hoi laa hrangnawk a tawnh mang.
And the man increased exceedingly, and had many cattle, and maid-servants, and men-servants, and camels, and asses.
