1 Te dongah Isaak loh Jakob te a khue phoeiah yoethen a paek tih a uen vaengah, “Kanaan nu te na yuu la lo boeh.
Isaac called Jacob, blessed him, and commanded him, "You must not take a wife from the daughters of Canaan.
2 Thoo, Paddanaram kah na nu kah a napa Bethuel im la cet lamtah na nupu Laban canu te na yuu la lo.
Arise, go to Paddan Aram, to the house of Bethuel your mother's father. Take a wife from there from the daughters of Laban, your mother's brother.
3 Pathen Tlungthang loh nang te yoethen m'paek vetih na pungtai uh phoeiah na ping uh vaengah pilnam hlangping la na om bitni.
May El Shaddai bless you, and make you fruitful, and multiply you, that you may be a company of peoples,
4 Tedae Pathen loh Abraham taengah a paek tangtae Abraham kah yoethennah, na lampahnah kho he nang neh na tiingan loh na pang ham m'pae saeh” a ti nah.
and give you the blessing of Abraham, to you, and to your descendants with you, that you may inherit the land where you travel, which God gave to Abraham."
5 Te phoeiah Isaak loh Jakob te a tueih tih Jakob neh Esau kah a manu Rebekah kah nganpa Laban, Paddanaram Arammi Bethuel capa taengla cet.
Isaac sent Jacob away. He went to Paddan Aram to Laban, son of Bethuel the Aramean, Rebekah's brother, Jacob's and Esau's mother.
6 Tedae Isaak loh Jakob yoethen a paek tih a yuu aka lo ham Paddanaram la a tueih te khaw, Jakob te yoethen a paek vaengah Kanaan nu te na yuu la lo boeh a ti nah tih a uen te khaw Esau loh a hmuh.
Now Esau saw that Isaac had blessed Jacob and sent him away to Paddan Aram, to take him a wife from there, and that as he blessed him he gave him a command, saying, "You must not take a wife from the daughters of Canaan,"
7 Jakob long khaw a napa neh a manu ol a ngai tih Paddanaram la cet.
and that Jacob obeyed his father and his mother, and left for Paddan Aram.
8 Esau long khaw a napa Isaak kah mik ah Kanaan nu te thae tila a hmuh.
Esau saw that the daughters of Canaan did not please Isaac, his father.
9 Te dongah Esau loh Ishmael taengla cet tih a yuu rhoek hmanah Abraham capa Ishmael canu Mahalath, Nebaioth ngannu te a yuu la a loh.
Esau went to Ishmael, and took, besides the wives that he had, Mahalath the daughter of Ishmael, Abraham's son, the sister of Nebaioth, to be his wife.
10 Te vaengah Jakob loh Beersheba lamloh cet tih Haran la pawk.
Jacob went out from Beersheba, and went toward Haran.
11 Tedae hmuen pakhat te a pha vaengah khomik vik tla tih pahoi rhaeh. Te vaengah te hmuen kah lungto a loh tih a lu a tloeng. Te phoeiah tekah hmuen ah yalh.
He came to a certain place, and stayed there all night, because the sun had set. He took one of the stones of the place, and put it under his head, and lay down in that place to sleep.
12 Te vaengah mang a man hatah diklai ah kuihlak tarha doh uh tih a soi loh vaan duela a pha. A soah Pathen kah puencawn rhoek te tarha luei uh tih suntla uh.
And he dreamed. And look, a stairway was set upon the earth, and its top reached to heaven. And look, the angels of God were ascending and descending on it.
13 Te vaengah anih taengah BOEIPA te lawt pai tih, “Kai na pa Abraham kah BOEIPA Pathen neh Isaak kah Pathen loh na yalh nah diklai he nang neh nang kah tiingan taengah kan paek ni.
And God stood above it, and said, "I am the God of Abraham your grandfather, and the God of Isaac. The land on which you are lying I will give to you and to your descendants.
14 Nang kah tiingan tah diklai laipi bangla om vetih khothoeng tuitunli neh tuithim tlangpuei la na pungtai uh phoeiah nang neh nang tiingan rhang neh diklai huiko boeih loh a yoethen uh ni.
Your descendants will be as the dust of the earth, and you will spread out to the west, and to the east, and to the north, and to the south. And through you and through your descendants will all the families of the earth be blessed.
15 Kai he nang taengah ka om tih na caeh nah boeih ah nang kan ngaithuen. Te dongah nang te he khohmuen la kam mael puei bitni. Nang taengah ka thui te ka saii hlan vaengah nang kan hnoo mahpawh,” a ti nah.
And look, I am with you, and will watch over you wherever you go, and will bring you again into this land. For I will not leave you, until I have done that which I have spoken of to you."
16 Te dongah Jakob loh a ih lamkah a haenghang vaengah, “Hekah hmuen ah BOEIPA loh rhep om dae kai loh ka ming pawh” a ti.
Then Jacob woke up from his sleep, and said, "Surely God is in this place, and I did not know it."
17 Tedae a rhih tih, “Hekah hmuen he rhih ham om tih Pathen kah im neh vaan vongka pawt atah a tloe moenih he” a ti.
He was afraid, and said, "How awesome is this place. This is none other than God's house, and this is the gate of heaven."
18 Jakob loh mincang a thoh vaengah a lu kah a khueh lungto te a loh tih kaam a ling phoeiah a so ah situi a bueih.
And Jacob rose up early in the morning, and took the stone that he had put under his head, and set it up as a standing-stone, and poured oil on top of it.
19 Te dongah tekah khopuei ming te lamhma ah Luz la om dae hatah tekah hmuen ming te Bethel la a khue.
He called the name of that place Bethel, though previously the city was named Luz.
20 Te phoeiah Jakob loh olcaeng neh a caeng tih, “Pathen loh kai taengah om tih he longpuei ah ka caeh vanbangla, kai n'dawndah phoeiah caak ham buh neh bai ham himbai te kai m'paek bal tih,
Then Jacob made a vow, saying, "If God will be with me, and will watch over me on this journey I am taking, and will give me food to eat, and clothing to put on,
21 a pa im ah sading la ka bal atah BOEIPA te kai kah Pathen la om ni.
so that I return to my father's house safely, then he will be my God,
22 Te phoeiah hekah lungto kaam la ka ling he Pathen kah im la poeh vetih kai nan paek boeih te namah ham parha pakhat la kan paek ni,” a ti.
and this stone, which I have set up as a standing-stone, will be God's house. Of all that you will give me I will surely give the tenth to you."
