Suencuek 33
1 Te vaengah Jakob loh a mik huel tih a sawt hatah Esau neh a taengkah hlang ya li te tarha a pawk pah. Te dongah camoe rhoek te Leah taengah khaw, Rakhel taengah khaw, a imom rhoi taengah a rhek.
And Jacob lifting up his eyes, saw Esau coming, and with him four hundred men: and he divided the children of Lia, and of Rachel, and of the two handmaids:
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 both the handmaids and their children foremost: and Lia and her children in the second place: 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.
And he went forward and bowed down with his face to the ground seven times until his brother came near.
4 Tedae anih te doe ham Esau yong tih a rhawn ah a kop uh rhoi, mok uh rhoi tih rhap rhoi.
Then Esau ran to meet his brother, and embraced him: and clasping him fast about the neck, and kissing him, 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 lifting up his eyes, he saw the women and their children, and said: What mean these? And do they belong to thee? He answered: They are the children which God hath given to me thy servant.
6 Te vaengah a salnu rhoek neh a ca rhoek te thoeih uh tih bakop uh.
Then the handmaids and their children came near, and bowed themselves.
7 Te phoeiah Leah neh a ca rhoek khaw thoeih uh tih a bakop uh vaengah Joseph neh Rakhel khaw thoeih tih bakop rhoi.
Lia also with her children came near, and bowed down in like manner, and last of all Joseph and Rachel bowed down.
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 Esau said: What are the droves that I met? He answered: That I might find favour before my lord.
9 Tedae Esau loh, “Ka mana, kamah taengah muep om ta; namah taengkah te namah ham om saeh,” a ti nah.
But he said: I have plenty, my brother, keep what is thine for thyself.
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: Do not so I beseech thee, but if I have found favour in thy eyes, receive a little present at my hands: for I have seen thy face, as if I should have seen the countenance of God: be gracious to 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.
And take the blessing, which I have brought thee, and which God hath given me, who giveth all things. He took it with much ado at his brother’s earnest pressing him,
12 Te phoeiah, “Ceh, cet uh pawn sih lamtah nang hnuk ah ka lo eh?,” a ti nah.
And said: Let us go on together, and I will accompany thee in thy journey.
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 Jacob said: My lord, thou knowest that I have with me tender children, and sheep, and kine with young: which if I should cause to be overdriven, in one day all the flocks 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.
May it please my lord to go before his servant: and I will follow softly after him, as I shall see my children to be able, until I come to my lord in 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.
Esau answered: I beseech thee, that some of the people at least, who are with me, may stay to accompany thee in the way. And he said: There is no necessity: I want nothing else but only to find favour, my lord, in thy sight.
16 Te dongah Esau khaw amah tekah khohnin ah amah longpuei ah Seir la bal.
So Esau returned, that day, the way that he came, 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 came to Socoth: where having built a house, and pitched tents, he called the name of the place Socoth, that is, Tents.
18 Te phoeiah Jakob loh Paddanaram lamloh hlah uh. Kanaan diklai Shekhem khopuei te sading la a pha tih khopuei imdan ah rhaeh.
And he passed over to Salem, a city of the Sichemites, which is in the land of Chanaan, after he returned from Mesopotamia of Syria: and he dwelt by the town:
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 that part of the field, in which he pitched his tents, of the children of Hemor, the father of Sichem for a hundred lambs.
20 Te dongah hmueihtuk pahoi a suem tih El Elohim Israel a sui.
And raising an altar there, he invoked upon it the most mighty God of Israel.
