Semtilbu 31

1 Jacob in Laban chapate ama chung'a alung damlou'u thu aja tan ama hon aseiyun, “Jacob in ipau thil jouse akilah tan, chule anei agou athil keu jouse khu ipauva konna akilam doh ahi,” ati tauve.

And Jacob heard the words of the sons of Laban, saying, Jacob has taken all that was our father's, and of our father's property has he gotten all this glory.

2 Chujong le Jacob in Laban maiso aven ahile alung lhailou lungthim chom agel jong ahe chen tan ahi.

And Jacob saw the countenance of Laban, and behold it was not toward him as before.

3 Hichun Pathen in Jacob chu ahoulimpin, “Nangma ki nungle kit tan, napu napa chule na sopite chenna gam'a kei man ka umpi jing ding nahi,” ati.

And the Lord said to Jacob, Return to the land of thy father, and to thy family, and I will be with thee.

4 Hichun Jacob in mi asol in loulam a akelngoi chin nauva Rachel le Leah aga kou sah tan ahi.

And Jacob sent and called Lea and Rachel to the plain where the flocks were.

5 Chuin Jacob in hitin aseiye, “Keiman ka hechen tai, napa lhon maiso kavet le lungthim chom chom aneitai, masang tobang ahi tapoi, hijong le kapu ka pate Pathen in ei umpi jingnai.

And he said to them, I see the face of your father, that it is not toward me as before, but the God of my father was with me.

6 Nangnin jong nahe lhon nai, katha nei sun kajo chan a napa lhon ding na toh ka tonge.

And ye too know that with all my might I have served your father.

7 Hinlah aman eijou lhep tan, kanatoh man jong somvei tobang eikhel pehtai, amavang Pathen in keima chunga vang thil phalou imacha alhunsah pon ahi.

But your father deceived me, and changed my wages for the ten lambs, yet God gave him not [power] to hurt me.

8 Aman hitin aseiye, gancha apol ho jouse chu nangma nikho tha man hitante atile gancha ho chu apol jeng ahe hatah in ahung pung tul tul kit tan, hichun aman alunggel akhel kit in gancha availang jenga pol ho atikit leh gancha anou jouse chu adung le avai langa pol bou apeng kit tai.

If he should say thus, The speckled shall be thy reward, then all the cattle would bear speckled; and if he should say, The white shall be thy reward, then would all the cattle bear white.

9 Hitia hi Pa Pathen in napa gancha ho jouse alah a keima eipehsoh ahitai.

So God has taken away all the cattle of your father, and given them to me.

10 Chuin phat chomkhat jou kelngoite kijang mat lai in jan mang khat ka neiyin, ka khodah in ahile kelpi chunga kal doh kelchal ho chu apol hole adup ho aki timat piu ka mui.

And it came to pass when the cattle conceived and were with young, that I beheld with mine eyes in sleep, and behold the he-goats and the rams leaping on the sheep and the she-goats, speckled and variegated and spotted with ash-coloured spots.

11 Chuin hitia mang kanei petin Pakai vantil khat in eihin houpin Jacob eihin tin kenjong “Hoijo hikoma kaum e,” kati.

And the angel of God said to me in a dream, Jacob; and I said, What is it?

12 Chuin Pakai vantil chun dah inlang gahve temin, kelpi ho chunga kal doh kelchal ho khu apol, adup, akangpol, availanga pol jeng in amat e, Ijeh inem itile Laban in na bolsetna jouse keiman abonchan ka musoh keitai.

And he said, Look up with thine eyes, and behold the he-goats and the rams leaping on the sheep and the she-goats, speckled and variegated and spotted with ash-coloured spots; for I have seen all things that Laban does to thee.

13 Keima na Pathen Bethel, muna song khom thao nanu a na kigah na Pathen chu kahi, tun kipat doh in hiche gam hi dalhan lang na penna gam langa kile kit tan.

I am God that appeared to thee in the place of God where thou anointedst a pillar to me, and vowedst to me there a vow; now then arise and depart out of this land, depart into the land of thy nativity, and I will be with thee.

14 Chuphat in Rachel le Leah in adonbut in, “Keinin imacha boina kanei lhonpoi; kapa lhon neile gou chanvou ka chan lhon ding um beh ham?”

And Rachel and Lea answered and said to him, Have we yet a part or inheritance in the house of our father?

15 Aman dalpam mi a eigel lhon hilou ham? Ajeh chu aman eijoh doh lhon a keini kichoh na sum jouse jong eisuh mang peh tauve.

Are we not considered strangers by him? for he has sold us, and quite devoured our money.

16 Chule nei le gou jouse Pathen in kapa lhona kon a alah mang peh ho jouse chu eiho le ichate ho a ahi bouve. Hijeh chun tun Pathen in najah a asei jouse chu ipi hi jongle bol jeng in,” ati lhon tai.

All the wealth and the glory which God has taken from our father, it shall be our's and our children's; now then do whatsoever God has said to thee.

17 Hichun Jacob akipat doh in ajite le achate jouse chu Sangan chunga atoudoh sah soh kei tan;

And Jacob arose and took his wives and his children up on the camels;

18 Chule agancha ho jouse amasang lamuva ahoiyin Padan-Ram gam'a anei agou jouse aki suhtup in Canaan gam'a apa Isaac henga che dingin aumtai.

and he took away all his possessions and all his store, which he had gotten in Mesopotamia, and all that belonged to him, to depart to Isaac his father in the land of Chanaan.

19 Chuin Laban chu kelngoi mulvou dinga akon doh phat'in Rachel in apa insung semthu pathen chu ana kiguh mang tai.

And Laban went to shear his sheep; and Rachel stole her father's images.

20 Jacob'in jong Laban Syrian mipa chu alhem lhan in, ajam doh dingu jong aseipeh pon ahi.

And Jacob hid [the matter from] Laban the Syrian, so as not to tell him that he ran away.

21 Hichun Jacob in anei agou jouse akipoh in Eupharate vadung apal galkai in Gilead thing lhang lam ahin jontai.

And he departed himself and all that belonged to him, and passed over the river, and went into the mountain Galaad.

22 Ahin ni thum jouvin Jacob ajam mang tai tithu chu Laban ahin seipeh un;

But it was told Laban the Syrian on the third day, that Jacob was fled.

23 Chuin Laban in asopi ho cheng akou khom in, Jacob chu ahin nung del tauvin ahile, nisagi lhin ni chun Gilead lhang gamsunga ahin juilut tan ahi.

And having taken his brethren with him, he pursued after him seven days' journey, and overtook him on Mount Galaad.

24 Hinlah Pathen in Laban Syrean mipa chu jan in ana kimu pin hitin aseiye, “Kichih thei jin Jacob chu imacha nalo theilou ding ahi,” ati.

And God came to Laban the Syrian in sleep by night, and said to him, Take heed to thyself that thou speak not at any time to Jacob evil things.

25 Hichun Laban'in Jacob chu ahin phatan, chule Jacob in thing-lhang lah a chun apon buh akison tauvin, chuin Laban le a U anaoten jong Gelead thinglhang a Jacob to kigam lhat louvin aponbuh'u akison tauve.

And Laban overtook Jacob; and Jacob pitched his tent in the mountain; and Laban stationed his brothers in the mount Galaad.

26 Chuin Laban in Jacob jah'a aseiye, “Ibola hi tobanga hi neijou lhep hitam ati, chule iti dana ka chanu teni jong gal a sohchang ho banga na bol jeng ham?

And Laban said to Jacob, What hast thou done? wherefore didst thou run away secretly, and pillage me, and lead away my daughters as captives taken with the sword?

27 Ibola guhthim cha a najam mang uham? Ibol'a neijou lhep ham ati, chule nache ding iti dan a neihet sah lou beh ham? Neina hetsah le chun thupitah a kilhahna ankong le la a ngei tah tah kisan tin, tumging to kithoa kivai lhah ta dinga ati.

Whereas if thou hadst told me, I would have sent thee away with mirth, and with songs, and timbrels, and harp.

28 Nathil bol hohi ngolna in na dimset'e, ka chanu teni cha katute jong kabeng chop man tapon, kilhahna jong kana bol thei tapoi! ati.

And I was not counted worthy to embrace my children and my daughters; now then thou hast wrought foolishly.

29 Tua hi nangma ka suhbei thei nahi, Hinlah napu napate Pathen in jan hi nilhah in eina kimuto pin gihna jong eineiyin Jacob chu na suhboi theilou ding ahi eiti!

And now my hand has power to hurt thee; but the God of thy father spoke to me yesterday, saying, Take heed to thyself that thou speak not evil words to Jacob.

30 Nangma lunggel na in lam a nache ding na thanop na chu ka hethem lheh'e, kham thei jong na hipoi, napa insung miho toh kimu to kal nanga lel jong kahe nai, Hinlah ibola ka Pathen houna doiphung chu naguh ham? ati.

Now then go on thy way, for thou hast earnestly desired to depart to the house of thy father; wherefore hast thou stolen my gods?

31 Jacob in adonbut in, “Keiman nangma kana ging lheh in ahi, ajeh chu nang ma in, nachanu teho chu namphu a nei lah peh ding ham tia kana gel ahi.

And Jacob answered and said to Laban, Because I was afraid; for I said, Lest at any time thou shouldest take away thy daughters from me, and all my possessions.

32 Amavang nadoi bom vang chu ahile nang man hol in lang namu doh thei leh namu na michu koi hile ahinkho subei jeng tan ati, chule nangma thil ho jong keima sopiho in anala kha aumle kanung peh ding nahi; Jacob in vang Rachel in analah chu anahet lou ahi.

And Jacob said, With whomsoever thou shalt find thy gods, he shall not live in the presence of our brethren; take notice of what I have of thy property, and take it; and he observed nothing with him, but Jacob knew not that his wife Rachel had stolen them.

33 Laban chu Jacob ponbuh a ache masa pen in doibom hol in, aban'in Leah kom ah, hiche jou chun Leah soh teni komah achen Hinlah imacha amudoh pon, achaina in Rachel pon buh a alut in ahi.

And Laban went in and searched in the house of Lea, and found [them] not; and he went out of the house of Lea, and searched in the house of Jacob, and in the house of the two maid-servants, and found them not; and he went also into the house of Rachel.

34 Rachel in apa insung doibom chu ana ladoh in Sangan pho kah a chu ana sel'a chule achunga chu ama ana tou ahi, hichun Laban in ponbuh sung aning akah aphet vang'in imacha amudoh tapon ahi.

And Rachel took the idols, and cast them among the camel's packs, and sat upon them.

35 Ama nun apa komma asei tai, “Lungsettah in nei ngaidam in ka Pakai keima numei hina lhinna kanei jin kadin theilou ding ahi,” Laban vang ahol chu atang dehpon amavang insung doibom chu amudoh pon ahi.

And she said to her father, Be not indignant, Sir; I cannot rise up before thee, for it is with me according to the manner of women. Laban searched in all the house, and found not the images.

36 Hichun Jacob hatah in ahung lunghang tan Laban apupa jah'a asei tan ahi, “Keima ipi ka guchat na ka jonna umham atitan, chule ipi mong kabol khel a hichan geiya hi ka nung neihin del a keima migucha banga nei bol hitam?

And Jacob was angry, and strove with Laban; and Jacob answered and said to Laban, What is my injustice, and what my sin, that thou hast pursued after me,

37 Nang man kanei kathil koina jouse naphet in aning akah geiyin, twin neivet sah in ipi na khol doh ham nang thil, hinpo doh in sopi ule nao ho masang laitah ahin amahon eini kah lah a thutanna neimaiyu hen ati.

and that thou hast searched all the furniture of my house? what hast thou found of all the furniture of thine house? set it here between thy relations and my relations, and let them decide between us two.

38 Nangma koma kum som ni na gancha ho kana vettup peh in, na gancha ho kelngoi ahin na kelcha ho ahin imacha boina ana umpon hiche kum hijat kana vettup sunga chun kelngoi khat jong kana kilah khapoi.

These twenty years have I been with thee; thy sheep, and thy she-goats have not failed in bearing; I devoured not the rams of thy cattle.

39 Keiman gamsa in, gancha ho athasa jong kahin polut khapon, athi amang ho jong keima nikho tha to suhto din kana boljin, gancha ho sun hileh jan hileh amang ho jouse chu keima lhalo toh suhto din neikah pehjin ahi.

That which was taken of beasts I brought not to thee; I made good of myself the thefts of the day, and the thefts of the night.

40 Hiche hi keima dinmun ana hi, Hitipi chun sun teng nisan eihal vampai gon, jan tengle dap kathoh jin, kamit tenin la kei eimut na him him amupha pon ahi.

I was parched with heat by day, and [chilled] with frost by night, and my sleep departed from my eyes.

41 Hitobang achu kum somni nangma insunga kana kiman chah ahi. keiman kum som le kum li nangma insunga lhacha in ka na pang in, na chanu teni lona in kum gup ka na tohbe in gancha ho lona in chule kana toh man somvei tobang neikhel peh in ahi.

These twenty years have I been in thy house; I served thee fourteen years for thy two daughters, and six years among thy sheep, and thou didst falsely rate my wages for ten lambs.

42 Kapate Pathen, Abraham Pathen, kapa Isaac ginpa chun eipanpi lou hile tua hi nangman khut keohel tah bah a neina solmang ding ahitai. Pathen in ka gentheina le kakhut tah a katoh gimna hi amua jan nilhah a chu na gihsal ahiye,” ati.

Unless I had the God of my father Abraam, and the fear of Isaac, now thou wouldest have sent me away empty; God saw my humiliation, and the labour of my hands, and rebuked thee yesterday.

43 Hichun Laban in hitin Jacob adonbut in, “Hiche numei hohi ka chanu ahin, hiche chapang hojong kachate katute ahi, chule gancha ho jouse jong abonna keima gancha ahi. Chule ipi hitale namu phah chan hi aboncha keiya jeng ahi cheh nai. Amavang keiman tua hi ka chanute chule achate ho chunga ipi kabol ding hitam ati.

And Laban answered and said to Jacob, The daughters are my daughters, and the sons my sons, and the cattle are my cattle, and all things which thou seest are mine, and [the property] of my daughters; what shall I do to them to-day, or their children which they bore?

44 Hijeh chun hung in eini kikah a kitepna nei hite hichun eini eikan khom cheh lhon ding ahi.”

Now then come, let me make a covenant, both I and thou, and it shall be for a witness between me and thee; and he said to him, Behold, there is no one with us; behold, God is witness between me and thee.

45 Hichun Jacob'in hetjing nading in song khom khat aphut dohtai.

And Jacob having taken a stone, set it up for a pillar.

46 Hichun Jacob'in asopi ho lah a aseiyin, “Songho hin chom khom un,” ati, amahon song chu khat chunga khat asethop un, hichun Jacob le Laban song kise thop komma atou lhon in kitepna ankong chu anekhom lhon tan ahi.

And Jacob said to his brethren, Gather stones; and they gathered stones and made a heap, and ate there upon the heap; and Laban said to him, This heap witnesses between me and thee to-day.

47 Songlhuh kise chu Laban in Jegar-sahadutha asah-in, hiche ma ma chu Jacob'in Galeed asah-e.

And Laban called it, the Heap of Testimony; and Jacob called it, the Witness Heap.

48 Hichun Laban in, “Tuni nikhoa hiche song lhuh hi kei le nang kah a sakhia panga ahi tai,” tia, hiche jeh chun amin jong Galeed asah in ahi.

And Laban said to Jacob, Behold this heap, and the pillar, which I have set between me and thee; this heap witnesses, and this pillar witnesses; therefore its name was called, the Heap witnesses.

49 Hiche mun jong hi Mizpah akiti tai, aman aseiyin, “Ajeh chu nangma le keima jong khonung teng jong leh gamla tah a umjongleh hen Pathen in ei umpi jing lhon hen.”

And the vision of which he said—Let God look to it between me and thee, because we are about to depart from each other, —

50 Ka chanute ho nahin suh genthei ja numei dang ho jia nahin kipuiya ahile, koima chan muhih jongle abonchan Pathen in amusoh keiye, Pathen hi nangle kei kikah a kitepna a hiche thua hi pang jing ding ahi.

If thou shalt humble my daughters, if thou shouldest take wives in addition to my daughters, see, there is no one with us looking on. God [is] witness between me and thee.

51 Hiche song athopma kise ho hi Jacob in Laban jah ah, “Vejing in kei le nang kah a kihet themna hijing ding ahi tai.

And Laban said to Jacob, Behold, this heap, and this pillar are a witness.

52 Hiche song kise thop hile songphu hi sakhia a pang ahin, ken jong nangma suse dinga hiche hi kahin khokhel lou hel ding, nang in jong keima suse dinga hiche hi nahin khokhel louhel ding ahi.

For if I should not cross over unto thee, neither shouldest thou cross over to me, for mischief beyond this heap and this pillar.

53 Abraham Pathen, Nahor Pathen chule amani pa-Pathen chu eini kah a thutan ding ahi tai,” ati. Hijeh chun Jacob jong apa Isaac ginpa min akihahsel tai.

The God of Abraam and the God of Nachor judge between us; and Jacob swore by the Fear of his father Isaac.

54 Hichun Jacob in hiche molchunga chun Pathen henga maicham asem in kitepna ki hetthem na ankong jong asem in, an neh anei jou u-chun hiche jan machun molchunga chun ageh tauve.

And he offered a sacrifice in the mountain, and called his brethren, and they ate and drank, and slept in the mountain.

55 Laban ajing chun matah in athoudoh in achanute ho le atute ho jouse abonchan achop soh keiyin, chule abonchauvin phatthei aboh soh keiyin, hichun ama a inlam ma aki nungle kit tai.

And Laban rose up in the morning, and kissed his sons and his daughters, and blessed them; and Laban having turned back, departed to his place.
