Suencuek 35

1 Tedae Pathen loh Jakob la, “Thoo, Bethel la cet lamtah pahoi khosa. Te phoeiah na maya Esau mikhmuh lamkah na yong vaengah nang taengah aka phoe Pathen ham hmueihtuk khaw pahoi saii,” a ti nah.

And God said to Jacob, Go up now to Beth-el and make your living-place there: and put up an altar there to the God who came to you when you were in flight from your brother Esau.

2 Te dongah Jakob loh amah imkhuikho neh a taengkah aka om boeih taengah, “Nangmih lakli kah kholong pathen rhoek te voei uh. Te phoeiah caihcil uh lamtah na himbai te tho uh laeh.

Then Jacob said to all his people, Put away the strange gods which are among you, and make yourselves clean, and put on a change of clothing:

3 Thoo uh sih lamtah Bethel la cet uh sih. Ka citcai tue vaengah kai aka doo tih ka caeh long ah kai taengah aka om Pathen ham hmueihtuk pahoi ka saii ni,” a ti nah.

And let us go up to Beth-el: and there I will make an altar to God, who gave me an answer in the day of my trouble, and was with me wherever I went.

4 Te dongah amih kut kah kholong pathen rhoek boeih neh a hna dongkah hnaii te Jakob taengah a paek uh tih Jakob loh Shekhem taengkah rhokael hmuiah a up.

Then they gave to Jacob all the strange gods which they had, and the rings which were in their ears; and Jacob put them away under the holy tree at Shechem.

5 Tedae a caeh uh neh Pathen kah mueirhih loh khopuei kaepvai ah yaal tih Jakob ca te hloem uh pawh.

So they went on their journey: and the fear of God was on the towns round about, so that they made no attack on the sons of Jacob.

6 Te phoeiah Jakob neh amah taengkah a pilnam boeih loh Kanaan kho kah Luz Bethel te a pha uh.

And Jacob came to Luz in the land of Canaan (which is the same as Beth-el), he and all his people.

7 Te vaengah hmueihtuk pahoi a suem tih a hmuen te El Bethel a sui. A maya mikhmuh lamloh a yong vaengah khaw te rhoek ah ni anih ham Pathen a phoe pah dongah ni.

And there he made an altar, naming the place El-beth-el: because it was there he had the vision of God when he was in flight from his brother.

8 Rebekah kah cakhoem Deborah a duek vaengah khaw Bethel kungdak kah thingnu hmuiah a up tih a ming te Allon Bakuth la a khue.

And Deborah, the servant who had taken care of Rebekah from her birth, came to her end, and was put to rest near Beth-el, under the holy tree: and they gave it the name of Allon-bacuth.

9 Paddanaram lamkah koep a mael vaengah khaw Jakob taengah Pathen a phoe pah tih yoethen a paek.

Now when Jacob was on his way from Paddan-aram, God came to him again and, blessing him, said,

10 Te vaengah Pathen loh anih te, “Na ming he Jakob dae na ming te Jakob la n'khue voel pawt vetih Israel ni nang ming la aka om eh?,” a ti nah. Te dongah a ming te Israel la a khue bal.

Jacob is your name, but it will be so no longer; from now your name will be Israel; so he was named Israel.

11 Te phoeiah anih te Pathen loh, “Kai he Pathen Tlungthang ni. Pungtai lamtah namtom ah ping uh. Namtom hlangping khaw nang lamkah ha thoeng vetih na pumpu lamloh manghai thoeng uh ni.

And God said to him, I am God, the Ruler of all: be fertile, and have increase; a nation, truly a group of nations, will come from you, and kings will be your offspring;

12 Abraham neh Isaak taengah ka paek hmuen te nang taengah kan paek vetih nang phoeikah na tiingan taengah khaw khohmuen te ka paek ni,” a ti nah.

And the land which I gave to Abraham and Isaac, I will give to you; and to your seed after you I will give the land.

13 Tekah hmuen ah Jakob neh a cal rhoi pangthuem Pathen te anih taeng lamloh vik cet.

Then God went up from him in the place where he had been talking with him.

14 Te dongah amah neh a voek nah hmuen ah Jakob loh kaam a ling tih kaam lung te tuisi a suep tih situi a bueih.

And Jacob put up a pillar in the place where he had been talking with God, and put a drink offering on it, and oil.

15 Te phoeiah Pathen loh amah a voek nah hmuen ming te Jakob loh Bethel la pahoi a khue.

And he gave to the place where God had been talking with him, the name of Beth-el.

16 Te phoeiah Bethel lamkah puen uh tih Epharath la caeh ham kho te a lak om pueng dae Rakhel te camoe om tih a ca om bahoeng kuel.

So they went on from Beth-el; and while they were still some distance from Ephrath, the pains of birth came on Rachel and she had a hard time.

17 Tedae a ca om a a tloh vaengah anih te ca aka om sak loh, “Tahae kah khaw nang ham tongpa la koep a om dongah rhih boeh,” a ti nah.

And when her pain was very great, the woman who was helping her said, Have no fear; for now you will have another son.

18 A duek tom kah a hinglu a pat thuk vaengah camoe ming te Benoni la a khue. Tedae a napa long tah anih te Benjamin la a khue.

And in the hour when her life went from her (for death came to her), she gave the child the name Ben-oni: but his father gave him the name of Benjamin.

19 Te vaengah Rakhel duek tih Epharath Bethlehem long ah te a up.

So Rachel came to her end and was put to rest on the road to Ephrath (which is Beth-lehem).

20 Rakhel kah hlan soah Jakob loh kaam a ling te tihnin due Rakhel phuel kah kaam la om.

And Jacob put up a pillar on her resting-place; which is named, The Pillar of the resting-place of Rachel, to this day.

21 Te phoeiah Israel te cet tih Mikdaleder kah a voel ah dap a tuk.

And Israel went journeying on and put up his tents on the other side of the tower of the flock.

22 Tedae tekah kho ah khosa la Israel a om vaengah Reuben te cet tih a napa kah yula Bilhah taengah a yalh te Israel loh a yaak. Te vaengah Jakob ca rhoek hlang hlai nit om uh.

Now while they were living in that country, Reuben had connection with Bilhah, his father's servant-woman: and Israel had news of it.

23 Leah ca rhoek ah Reuben te Jakob caming la om tih Simeon, Levi, Judah, Issakhar neh Zebulun omuh.

Now Jacob had twelve sons: the sons of Leah: Reuben, Jacob's first son, and Simeon and Levi and Judah and Issachar and Zebulun;

24 Rakhel ca rhoi la Joseph neh Benjamin om.

The sons of Rachel: Joseph and Benjamin;

25 Rakhel imom Bilhah ca rhoi la Dan neh Naphtali om.

The sons of Bilhah, Rachel's servant: Dan and Naphtali;

26 Leah salnu Zilpah ca la Gad neh Asher he om tih Paddanaram ah Jakob ca tongpa la a cun pah.

The sons of Zilpah, Leah's servant: Gad and Asher; these are the sons whom Jacob had in Paddan-aram.

27 Te phoeiah Jakob loh Mamre Kiriatharba Hebron kah a napa Isaak taengla a pha. Teah te Abraham khaw Isaak khaw bakuep.

And Jacob came to his father Isaac at Mamre, at Kiriath-arba, that is, Hebron, where Abraham and Isaac had been living.

28 Te vaengah Isaak kah khohnin loh kum ya neh kum sawmrhet lo coeng.

And Isaac was a hundred and eighty years old.

29 Isaak khaw pal tih a duek vaengah patong kum soep la a pilnam taengah khoem uh coeng. Anih te a ca rhoi Esau neh Jakob loh a up.

Then Isaac came to his end and was put to rest with his father's people, an old man after a long life: and Jacob and Esau, his sons, put him in his last resting-place.
