so they gather together thither all the flocks, and roll away the stone from off the mouth of the well, and water the sheep, —and put back the stone upon the mouth of the well, to its 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 to them, My brethren, whence are ye? And they said: From haran, are we.

And he said to them, Is it well with him? And they said, Well, but lo! Rachel his daughter, coming in with the sheep.

And they said, We cannot, until that all the flocks are gathered together, and they roll away the stone, from off the mouth of the well, —and then can we water the sheep.

And when Jacob told Rachel that he was her father’s brother, and that he was Rebekah’s son, then ran she, and told her father.

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 fondly kissed him, and brought him into his house, —when he recounted to 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, my bone and my flesh, art thou. So he abode with him a month of days.

Now, Laban, had two daughters, —the name of the elder, Leah, and the name of the younger, Rachel,
17 Te vaengah Leah kah a mik te mongkawt dae Rakhel tah a suisak sakthen neh mueimae sakthen la om.
But, the eyes of Leah were weak, —whereas, Rachel, was comely in form and comely in countenance.

And Laban said, 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.
So Jacob served for Rachel—seven years, —and they became, in his eyes, as single days, for his love to her.

And it came to pass in the morning, that lo! it was Leah, —and he said unto Laban, What is this thou hast done to me? Was it not, for Rachel, I served with thee? Wherefore then hast thou deceived 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 done so in our place, —to give the later-born 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 the week of this one, —then must we give thee, the other one also, for the service wherewith thou shalt serve with me, yet seven years more.
