And Jacob lifted up his eyes, and beheld, and lo! Esau his brother coming, and four hundred men with him; and Jacob divided the children to Lea and to Rachel, and the two handmaidens.
2 Te phoeiah salnu rhoek neh amih kah a ca rhoek a lamhma sak tih Leah neh a rhoek loh a hmaithawn. Rakhel neh Joseph te lamhnuk la a khueh.
And he put the two handmaidens and their children with the first, and Lea and her children behind, and Rachel and Joseph last.
3 Te phoeiah amah te amih hmai la cet tih a maya taeng a pha due diklai la voei rhih bakop.
But he advanced himself before them, and did reverence to the ground seven times, until he drew near to his brother.
4 Tedae anih te doe ham Esau yong tih a rhawn ah a kop uh rhoi, mok uh rhoi tih rhap rhoi.
And Esau ran on to meet him, and embraced him, and fell on his neck, and kissed him; and they both wept.
5 Te vaengah a dan hatah huta rhoek neh camoe rhoek te a hmuh tih, “Nang taengkah rhoek he u rhoek lae?” a ti nah dae, “Pathen loh na sal taengah n'rhen nah camoe rhoek ni,” a ti nah.
And Esau looked up and saw the women and the children, and said, What are these to thee? And he said, The children with which God has mercifully blessed thy servant.
6 Te vaengah a salnu rhoek neh a ca rhoek te thoeih uh tih bakop uh.
And the maid-servants and their children drew near and did reverence.
7 Te phoeiah Leah neh a ca rhoek khaw thoeih uh tih a bakop uh vaengah Joseph neh Rakhel khaw thoeih tih bakop rhoi.
And Lea and her children drew near and did reverence; and after this drew near Rachel and Joseph, and did reverence.
8 Te dongah Esau loh, “Lambong boeih ka hum he, metlam na om te,” a ti nah. Te dongah, “Ka boeipa mik ah mikdaithen dang ham ni,” a ti nah.
And he said, What are these things to thee, all these companies that I have met? And he said, That thy servant might find grace in thy sight, my lord.
9 Tedae Esau loh, “Ka mana, kamah taengah muep om ta; namah taengkah te namah ham om saeh,” a ti nah.
And Esau said, I have much, my brother; keep thine own.
10 Jakob loh, “Pawh, na mikhmuh ah mikdaithen la ka tueng mai khaming. Na maelhmai he Pathen maelhmai a hmuh bangla kam hmuh. Kai nan moeithen banghui la ka kut lamkah ka khosaa he lo mai.
And Jacob said, If I have found grace in thy sight, receive the gifts through my hands; therefore have I seen thy face, as if any one should see the face of God, and thou shalt be well-pleased with me.
11 Pathen loh kai n'rhen tih kai ham a cungkuem a khueh dongah kai kah yoethennah nang taengla kang khuen te doe mai,” a ti nah tih amh te a hloep daengah a doe pah.
Receive my blessings, which I have brought thee, because God has had mercy on me, and I have all things; and he constrained him, and he took [them].
12 Te phoeiah, “Ceh, cet uh pawn sih lamtah nang hnuk ah ka lo eh?,” a ti nah.
And he said, Let us depart, and proceed right onward.
13 Tedae Jakob loh, “Ka boeipa camoe rhoek te mongkawt uh pueng tih ka taengah boiva neh saelhung cacun khaw om tila na ming. Amih te hnin at ah rhenten kam vai koinih boiva loh boeih duek uh ni.
And he said to him, My lord knows, that the children are very tender, and the flocks and the herds with me are with young; if then I shall drive them hard one day, all the cattle will die.
14 Ka boeipa te a sal hmai ah ana cet mai saeh. Kai tah ka mikhmuh kah bitat dongkah khokan neh, camoe rhoek kah khokan neh, vawlhvawlh kang khool vetih Seir kah ka boeipa taeng hil ka lo eh?,” a ti nah.
Let my lord go on before his servant, and I shall have strength on the road according to the ease of the journey before me, and according to the strength of the children, until I come to my lord to Seir.
15 Te dongah Esau loh, “Ka pilnam he nang taengah ka khueh mai eh ne,” a ti nah. Tedae, “Balae tih, ka boeipa kah mikhmuh ah mikdaithen ka dang mai mako,” a ti nah.
And Esau said, I will leave with thee some of the people who are with me. And he said, Why so? it is enough that I have found favour before thee, [my] lord.
16 Te dongah Esau khaw amah tekah khohnin ah amah longpuei ah Seir la bal.
And Esau returned on that day on his journey to Seir.
17 Tedae Jakob loh Sukkoth la cet tih amah ham im a sak phoeiah a boiva ham pohlip a saii. Te dongah te hmuen ming te Sukkoth la a khue.
And Jacob departs to his tents; and he made for himself there habitations, and for his cattle he made booths; therefore he called the name of that place, Booths.
18 Te phoeiah Jakob loh Paddanaram lamloh hlah uh. Kanaan diklai Shekhem khopuei te sading la a pha tih khopuei imdan ah rhaeh.
And Jacob came to Salem, a city of Secima, which is in the land of Chanaan, when he departed out of Mesopotamia of Syria, and took up a position in front of the city.
19 Te vaengah a dap tuk hmuen te Shekhem napa Hamor ca rhoek kut lamkah khamyai rhoek te tangka yakhat neh a lai.
And he bought the portion of the field, where he pitched his tent, of Emmor the father of Sychem, for a hundred lambs.
20 Te dongah hmueihtuk pahoi a suem tih El Elohim Israel a sui.
And he set up there an altar, and called on the God of Israel.
