Then Jacob lifted up his feet and went unto the land of the children of the east.

And he looked, and behold there was a well in the field, and, lo, there were three flocks of sheep lying by it; for out of that well they watered the flocks: and the stone upon the mouth of the well was great.
3 Hitia chu kelngoi hon ho abonna ahung kisuh kimteng uleh kelngoi ching hon twikhuh kamsin songpi chu akhin doh jiuva kelngoi te twi achip sah jiuva achipva teng ule song chu akikoi na ngai ngai twikhuh kam a chu ale khin lut kit jiu ahi.
And there all the flocks were wont to assemble; and they rolled then the stone from the mouth of the well, and watered the sheep; and they put the stone again upon the mouth of the well in its place.
4 Chuin Jacob in amaho jah a “Sopite ho hoiya hung kon na hiu ham?” atile amahon adon but un “Keiho Haran gam'a hung kon ka hiuve,” ati.
And Jacob said unto them, My brethren, whence are ye? And they said, Of Charan are we.
5 Amapan adong kit in amaho chu “Nahor chapa Laban chu nahet khah hih uvem?” atile “Amahon jong kahe nauve,” atiuve.
And he said unto them, Know ye Laban the son of Nachor? And they said, We know him.
6 Chuin Jacob in ajah uva “Ama chu dam dam a hinam? tia adohle amahon “henge adam jingnai ven tua hung kelngoi hontoh hung kilhon khu achanu Rachel hija khu,” atiuve.
And he said unto them, Is he well? And they said, He is well; and, behold, Rachel his daughter cometh with the sheep.
7 Jacob in ama ho jah a “Tuhin nisa sangtah hinalai ja gancha hoi khom phat bon hilou lai, kelngoi hon chu twi chipsah uvin lang gavah pha uvin,” ati.
And he said, Lo, the day is yet long, it is not time that the cattle should be driven home; water ye the sheep, and go and feed them.
8 Ama hon a donbut un, “Gancha ho jouse ahung kikim tokah in twi kipethei ponte atiuve, hichun kelngoi chingho chun songpi chu twisam kot apat chun atangdoh un kelngoi hon jouse twija ka vah va ding ahi,” atiuve.
And they said, We cannot, until all the flocks be gathered together, then do they roll the stone from the mouth of the well; and we water the sheep.
9 Amahon hitia akihou lim pet tah uchun Rachel chu apa kelngoi hon hotoh ahung ki jot luttai, Ajeh chu amanu jong kelngoi ching a pang ahiye.
And while he was yet speaking with them, Rachel came with her father's sheep; for she was a shepherdess.
10 Hichun Jacob in anu sopipa Laban chanu Rachel le anu sopipa Laban kelngoite amu phat in anai lut in twikhuh kamsin songpi chu alih doh in apupa kelngoi hon chu twi achip sah in ahi.
And it came to pass when Jacob saw Rachel the daughter of Laban his mother's brother, and the sheep of Laban his mother's brother, that Jacob went near, and rolled the stone from the mouth of the well, and watered the flock of Laban his mother's brother.
11 Hichun Jacob'in Rachel chu abeng chop in awging tah in akap'e.
And Jacob kissed Rachel, and lifted up his voice, and wept.
12 Jacob in Rachel jah a apa sopinu Rebekah chapa ahi thusim aseipeh tan ahile Rachel chu achen apa aga hetsah tan ahi.
And Jacob told Rachel that he was her father's brother, and that he was Rebekah's son: and she ran and told her father.
13 Laban in Jacob asopinu chapa ahung lhun ahet chun akimu pin akoi jin achop jeng in chuin a in lama ahin puilut tai. Hichun Jacob in ima jouse thusimho chu aseipeh tai.
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 kissed him, and brought him to his house. And he told Laban all these things.
14 Chuin Laban in Jacob henga aseiye, “Nangma hi kagu ka chang chule ka phevou mong nahi,” ati. Hichun Jacob chu apu Laban kom'a lhakhat sung aum tai.
And Laban said to him, Surely thou art my bone and my flesh. And he abode with him the space of a month.
15 Laban in Jacob henga aseiye, “Nangma hi ka insung mi nahi vang'in mohseh a tohman beiya na um ding chu adih thei poi, natoh man ipi hiding ham neisei peh tem in? tin adong tai.”
And Laban then said unto Jacob, Because thou art my brother, shouldst thou therefore serve me for naught? tell me, what shall thy wages be?
16 Laban in chanu ni aneiyin, alenjo nu min chu Leah ahin, chule aneojo nu min chu Rachel ahi.
And Laban had two daughters; the name of the elder was Leah, and the name of the younger was Rachel.
17 Ahin Leah mit chu aleng thim in ama vang Rachel chu amelhoi jin, amaiso jong lungset aum lheh jenge.
And the eyes of Leah were tender; but Rachel was of handsome form and handsome appearance.

And Jacob loved Rachel; and he said, I will serve thee seven years for Rachel thy younger daughter.
19 Laban in adonbut'in, “Hithei nante,” ati. “Ajeh chu keiman midang ho kapeh sanga nangma kapeh ding chu thilphajo ahibouve, Hijeh chun keima koma um jingtan,” ati.
And Laban said, It is better that I give her to thee, than that I should give her to another man; abide with me.
20 Hichun Jacob in kum sagi sung in Rachel man toh kitoh ding in na atong tan, Hinlah Jacob in Rachel angailut behset jeh chun ni chomcha toh abahsah in ahi.
And Jacob served for Rachel seven years; and they seemed unto him but a few days, through the love he had to her.
21 Chujouvin Jacob in Laban jah a hitin aseiye, “Keiman ka kitepna ho jouse ka subulhit tai, kajinu tun neipe tan ka luppi nom tai,” tin ahung thum tai.
And Jacob said unto Laban, Give me my wife, for my days are fulfilled, that I may go in unto her.

And Laban gathered together all the men of the place, and made a feast.

And it came to pass that in the morning, behold, it was Leah: and he said to Laban, What is this thou hast done unto me? did I not serve with thee for Rachel? wherefore then hast thou deceived me?
26 Laban in adonbut in “Kei ho chondana a unu umpet a hi anaonu jinei doh thei lou ahi.”
And Laban said, It is not done so in our place, to give in marriage the younger before the first-born.
27 Hiche hapta khat sunghi ji nei dan hi subu lhit tadin, hiche teng chule Rachel jong kapeh ding na hi, ahin nangman kum sagi ma kana, natoh kit ding ahi ati peh e.
Fulfill the week of this, and we will give thee this one also, for the service which thou shalt serve with me yet seven other years.
28 Chuin Jacob in Leah chu hapta khat lhing in akichen pin hiche jou chun Laban in Rachel jong ajinu ding in ape tai.
And Jacob did so, and fulfilled the week of the first; and he gave him Rachel his daughter for a wife.

And he went in also unto Rachel, and he loved also Rachel more than Leah; and he served with him yet seven other years.
31 Ahin Pathen in Leah kihot bol chu amudoh tan, hijeh chun anaobu ahondoh peh in, amavang Rachel chu aching in cha neilou in aum tai.
And when the Lord saw that Leah was hated, he opened her womb; but Rachel was barren.

And she conceived again, and bore a son; and she said, Now this time will my husband be joined unto me, because I have born him three sons; therefore was his name called Levi.

And she conceived again, and bore a son; and she said, This time will I praise the Lord; therefore she called his name Judah: and she left off bearing.
