26 Te vaengah, “Khothaih loh n'kae coeng tih kai n'hlah laeh,” a ti nah hatah Jakob loh, “Kai he yoethen nan paek hlan atah nang khaw kan hlah mahpawh,” a ti nah.
And he saide, Let me goe, for the morning appeareth. Who answered, I will not let thee go except thou blesse me.
27 Te dongah amah la, “Nang ming te balae,” a ti nah hatah, “Jakob,” a ti nah dae,
