Then Jacob went on his journey, and came into the land of the people of the east.

And he looked, and behold a well in the field, and, lo, there [were] three flocks of sheep lying by it; for out of that well they watered the flocks: and a great stone [was] upon the well’s mouth.
3 Te la tuping boeih a tingtun vaengah tuito rhai kah lungto te a paluet uh tih boiva te a tul uh. Te phoeiah lungto te tuito kah a rhai ah amah hmuen la a khueh uh.
And thither were all the flocks gathered: and they rolled the stone from the well’s mouth, and watered the sheep, and put the stone again upon the well’s mouth in his place.
4 Te dongah Jakob loh amih te, “Ka manuca rhoek nangmih he me lamkah rhoek lae,” a ti nah hatah, “Kaimih he Haran lamkah ni,” a ti uh.
And Jacob said unto them, My brethren, whence [be] ye? And they said, Of Haran [are] we.
5 Te phoeiah amih te, “Nakhaw capa Laban te na ming uh a?” a ti nah hatah, “Ka ming uh ta,” a ti uh.
And he said unto them, Know ye Laban the son of Nahor? And they said, We know [him].
6 Te dongah Jakob loh amih taengah, “Anih te a sading ngawn a?” a ti nah hatah, “A sading tih a canu Rakhel khaw boiva neh halo ke,” a ti na uh.
And he said unto them, [Is] he well? And they said, [He is] well: and, behold, Rachel his daughter cometh with the sheep.
7 Te vaengah, “Kho muep om pueng ta he, boiva a tingtun tue moenih. Boiva te tui tul, te phoeiah hlah lamtah luem sak,” a ti nah.
And he said, Lo, [it is] yet high day, neither [is it] time that the cattle should be gathered together: water ye the sheep, and go [and] feed [them].
8 Tedae amih loh, “Tuping rhoek boeih tingtun tih tuito rhai lamkah lungto te ka paluet uh daengah ni boiva khaw tui ka tul uh. Ka paluet thai uh pawt atah ka tul uh thai pawh,” a ti uh.
And they said, We cannot, until all the flocks be gathered together, and [till] they roll the stone from the well’s mouth; then we water the sheep.
9 Amih te a voek li vaengah Rakhel loh a napa kah tu dawn ham tu neh ha puei uh.
And while he yet spake with them, Rachel came with her father’s sheep: for she kept them.
10 Tedae Jakob loh a nupu Laban canu Rakhel te khaw, a nupu Laban kah boiva te khaw a hmuh vanbangla Jakob te thoeih tih tuito rhai lamkah lungto te a paluet. Te phoeiah a nupu Laban kah boiva te tui a tul pah.
And it came to pass, when Jacob saw Rachel the daughter of Laban his mother’s brother, and the sheep of Laban his mother’s brother, that Jacob went near, and rolled the stone from the well’s mouth, and watered the flock of Laban his mother’s brother.
11 Te phoeiah Jakob loh Rakhel te a mok dae a ol a huel tih rhap.
And Jacob kissed Rachel, and lifted up his voice, and wept.
12 Tedae Jakob loh Rakhel taengah amah te a napa kah huiko neh Rebekah capa ni tila a puen dongah Rakhel te yong tih a napa taengah puen.
And Jacob told Rachel that he [was] her father’s brother, and that he [was] Rebekah’s son: and she ran and told her father.
13 Laban long khaw a ngannu capa Jakob kah olthang te a yaak van neh anih doe ham yong tih a kop phoeiah a mok tih amah im la a khuen vaengah hekah olka boeih te Laban taengah a tae pah.
And it came to pass, when Laban heard the tidings of Jacob his sister’s son, that he ran to meet him, and embraced him, and kissed him, and brought him to his house. And he told Laban all these things.
14 Te dongah Laban loh Jakob taengah, “Nang tah kamah rhuh neh saa pai ni,” a ti nah. Tedae anih taengah a khohnin hla la puet kho a sak.
And Laban said to him, Surely thou [art] my bone and my flesh. And he abode with him the space of a month.
15 Te vaengah Laban loh Jakob taengah, “Nang he kamah huiko la na om dongah a hoeihae lam a kai taengah na thohtat eh? Kai taengah na thapang te thui,” a ti nah.
And Laban said unto Jacob, Because thou [art] my brother, shouldest thou therefore serve me for nought? tell me, what [shall] thy wages [be]?
16 Te vaengkah Laban canu rhoi tah, a ham ming te Leah tih, a noe ming te Rakhel la om.
And Laban had two daughters: the name of the elder [was] Leah, and the name of the younger [was] Rachel.

And Jacob loved Rachel; and said, I will serve thee seven years for Rachel thy younger daughter.
19 Te dongah Laban loh, “Hlang tloe te ka paek lakah nang taengah anih kan paek te then ngai tih kamah taengah khosa mai,” a ti nah.
And Laban said, [It is] better that I give her to thee, than that I should give her to another man: abide with me.
20 Te vaengah Jakob loh Rakhel ham kum rhih thotat dae anih te a lungnah dongah a mik ah hnin at bangla om.
And Jacob served seven years for Rachel; and they seemed unto him [but] a few days, for the love he had to her.
21 Te phoeiah Jakob loh Laban te, “Ka khohnin khaw cup coeng tih ka yuu te m'pae lamtah anih taengah ka yalh pawn ni,” a ti nah.
And Jacob said unto Laban, Give [me] my wife, for my days are fulfilled, that I may go in unto her.
22 Te dongah Laban loh te hmuen kah hlang boeih te a coi tih buhkoknah a saii.
And Laban gathered together all the men of the place, and made a feast.

And it came to pass in the evening, that he took Leah his daughter, and brought her to him; and he went in unto her.

And Laban gave unto his daughter Leah Zilpah his maid [for] an handmaid.

And it came to pass, that in the morning, behold, it [was] Leah: and he said to Laban, What [is] this thou hast done unto me? did not I serve with thee for Rachel? wherefore then hast thou beguiled me?
26 Te vaengah Laban loh, “Kaimih kho ah caming hlanah a noe a paek ham te a saii noek moenih.
And Laban said, It must not be so done in our country, to give the younger before the firstborn.
27 Tahae yalh he a boeih phoeiah kai ham kum rhih koep na thohtat atah tekah thohtatnah yuengla anih te nang taengah kan paek bal ni,” a ti nah.
Fulfil her week, and we will give thee this also for the service which thou shalt serve with me yet seven other years.
28 Te dongah Jakob loh a saii van tih tekah yalh a boeih phoeiah a canu Rakhel te anih yuu la amah taengah a paek.
And Jacob did so, and fulfilled her week: and he gave him Rachel his daughter to wife also.

And Laban gave to Rachel his daughter Bilhah his handmaid to be her maid.

And he went in also unto Rachel, and he loved also Rachel more than Leah, and served with him yet seven other years.
31 Leah a hnoel te BOEIPA loh a hmuh dongah a bung tah a ong. Tedae Rakhel te a yaa sak.
And when the LORD saw that Leah [was] hated, he opened her womb: but Rachel [was] barren.

And Leah conceived, and bare a son, and she called his name Reuben: for she said, Surely the LORD hath looked upon my affliction; now therefore my husband will love me.
