Kamtawngnae 31
1 Laban e canaw ni, Jakop ni kaimae apa e hno pueng koung a la pouh dawkvah, hete tawnta e naw pueng heh a hmu e doeh, telah a dei awh e lawk hah Jakop ni a thai.
He heard the words of Laban's sons, saying, "Jacob has taken away all that was our father's. From that which was our father's he has gained all this wealth."
2 Jakop ni, Laban e minhmai a khet nah a hmoun e patetlah minhmai kahawi ka hmawt hoeh toe tie hah a panue.
Jacob saw the expression on Laban's face, and look, it was not as it had been.
3 Hatdawkvah, BAWIPA ni Jakop koevah, na mintoenaw e ram hoi na imthungkhu lah ban nateh, nang koe vah ka o han, telah ati.
Then God said to Jacob, "Return to the land of your fathers, and to your relatives, and I will be with you."
4 Jakop ni tami a patoun teh Rachel hoi Leah hah saring onae law vah tho hanelah a kaw sak.
Jacob sent and called Rachel and Leah to the field where his flock was,
5 Ahnimouh roi koe, na pa e minhmai ka hmu navah, ahmoun e patetlah minhmai kahawi ka hmawt hoeh toe tie hah ka panue, hateiteh Apa Cathut teh kai koe ao toe.
and said to them, "I see the expression on your father's face, that it is not what it was before. But the God of my father has been with me.
6 Ka thayung abuemlahoi na pa e thaw ka tawk e hah na panue awh.
You know that I have served your father with all of my strength.
7 Hot nahlangva na pa ni na dum teh, ka hmu hane aphu hah vai hra touh na dum toe. Hatei patawnae na poe hane teh Cathut ni na pasoung hoeh.
Yet your father has cheated me and changed my wages ten times, but God did not allow him to hurt me.
8 Tarakcak e pueng hah aphu lah ao han telah a dei teh saring pueng ni tarakcak lah koung a khe. Taracak hoi kâkalawt lah a khe e pueng aphu lah ao han ati ei nakunghai, saring pueng ni tarakcak lah koung a khe.
If he said this, 'The speckled will be your wages,' then all the flock bore speckled. If he said this, 'The streaked will be your wages,' then all the flock bore streaked.
9 Hottelah, Cathut ni na pa e saringhu hah a la pouh teh kai na poe e doeh.
Thus God has taken away your father's livestock and given them to me.
10 Hahoi hettelah ao. Saring âvâ yawng hane a kamtawng nah ka mang lah ka khet teh, khenhaw! âvâ ka cawt e a tan hah a em lah kaawm e hoi a em tarakcak e hoi, a em dakdak kaawm e naw hah ka hmu.
And it came about at the time when the flocks were breeding I looked up and saw in a dream, and look, the male goats which leaped on the flock were streaked, speckled, and spotted.
11 Ka mang lah Cathut e kalvantami ni, Jakop ati teh kai ni, hi vah ka i doeh, ka ti pouh.
The angel of God said to me in the dream, 'Jacob,' and I said, 'Here I am.'
12 Ahni ni, moung na teh, khenhaw! a tan ni âvâ a yawng e pueng hah a em kaawm hoi a em tarakcak e hoi a em dakdak kaawm naw seng doeh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, Laban ni nang dawk a sak e naw pueng hah be ka panue.
He said, 'Now lift up your eyes, and look, all the male goats which leap on the flock are streaked, speckled, and spotted, for I have seen all that Laban has done to you.
13 Kai teh talung na ungnae dawk satui na awinae, kai koe lawkkam na saknae Bethel, hote Bethel Cathut lah ka o. Atu thaw nateh hete ram heh tâcawt takhai, na khenae ram koe lah ban leih, telah ati.
I am the God of Bethel, where you anointed a standing-stone, where you made a vow to me. Now arise, go out from this land and return to the land of your birth.'"
14 Rachel hoi Leah ni a pathung roi teh, apa im e maimouh hanelah ham hane hoi râw ao rah maw.
Rachel and Leah answered him, "Is there yet any portion or inheritance for us in our father's house?
15 Ahni ni imyin patetlah na pouk awh toung nahoehmaw. Bangkongtetpawiteh, na yo awh teh maimae tangka hai be a ca awh toe.
Aren't we regarded by him as foreigners? For he has sold us, and he has used up what was paid for us.
16 Bangkongtetpawiteh, Cathut ni maimae na pa koehoi a la e naw pueng teh, maimae canaw hane doeh. Hottelah Cathut ni nang koe a dei e pueng teh sak yawkaw, telah atipouh.
For all the wealth which God has taken away from our father, that is ours and our children's. Now then, whatever God has said to you, do."
17 Jakop hah a thaw teh, a capanaw hoi a yu roi hah kalauk dawk a kâcui sak.
Then Jacob got up and put his sons and his wives on the camels,
18 Kanaan ram a na pa Isak koe cei hanelah a saringnaw hoi hnopai a pâtung e a hmu e saringnaw pueng, Paddanaram ram e a tawn e naw pueng be a sin awh.
and he took away all his livestock and all his property which he had acquired, including the livestock which he had gained in Paddan Aram, to go to Isaac his father in the land of Canaan.
19 Laban teh amae tu muen ngaw hanelah a cei teh Rachel ni a cei teh a na pa e Terah meikaphawk hah yout a la pouh.
Now Laban had gone to shear his sheep, and Rachel stole the idols that belonged to her father.
20 Jakop teh Siria tami Laban panuek laipalah, arulahoi a cei. A cei hane hah dei pouh hoeh.
Jacob outwitted Laban the Aramean by not telling him that he intended to flee.
21 Hottelah a tawn e naw pueng hoi a yawng. A thaw teh palang a raka teh Gilead mon lah pâtam lahoi a cei.
So he fled with everything that he had, and he arose and crossed the River, and set out toward the hill country of Gilead.
22 Jakop a yawng tie hah apâthum hnin vah Laban koe a dei pouh awh.
Laban was told on the third day that Jacob had fled.
23 A hmaunawnghanaw a hrawi teh, hnin sari touh thung a pâlei teh Gilead mon dawk rek a pha awh.
He took his relatives with him, and pursued after him for seven days, and caught up with him in the hill country of Gilead.
24 Hateiteh, Siria tami Laban koe karum a mang lahoi Cathut a tho teh, Jakop koe a thoe hoi hawi banghai na dei hoeh nahanelah kâhruetcuet, telah atipouh.
God came to Laban the Aramean in a dream at night, and said to him, "Be careful that you do not speak to Jacob either good or bad."
25 Hottelah Laban ni Jakop hah rek a pha. Jakop ni rim hah mon dawk a yap teh, Laban hoi a hmaunawnghanaw ni Gilead mon dawk ahnimae rim hah a yap awh van.
Laban caught up with Jacob. Now Jacob had pitched his tent in the hill country, and Laban with his relatives camped in the hill country of Gilead.
26 Laban ni Jakop koe, na sak e hno heh bangmaw. Ka thai laipalah dung na cei awh teh, tarantuknae koe man e patetlah ka canunaw na yawngkhai.
Laban said to Jacob, "What have you done? You have deceived me, and carried away my daughters like captives taken in war?
27 Bang kecu dawk maw, arulahoi tapueng hoi ratoung hoi na thak thai nahanlah dei laipalah na o.
Why did you flee in secret and deceive me, and not tell me, so that I might have sent you away with joy and singing, with a tambourine and with a lyre.
28 Ka capanaw hoi ka canunaw ka paco han na pasoung hoeh. Hottelae pathunae hno hah na sak.
And you did not allow me to kiss my sons and my daughters? Now you have done foolishly.
29 Kai ni koung na raphoe thai han ei teh, na pa Cathut ni karum ka mang lah, Jakop koe a thoe hoi hawi banghai na dei hoeh nahanelah kâhruetcuet, telah na dei pouh.
It is in my power to do you harm, but the God of your father spoke to me last night, saying, 'Be careful that you do not speak to Jacob either good or bad.'
30 Na pa im na rabui poung kecu dawkvah, na ka cet e katang lah na o. Hatei bang kecu dawk maw ka cathutnaw na paru pouh awh, telah ati.
Now you have indeed gone away, because you longed greatly for your father's house. But why have you stolen my gods?"
31 Jakop ni a pathung teh Laban koe, na canunaw heh thama lah na lawm vai tie hah ka puen dawk doeh.
Jacob answered Laban, "Because I was afraid, for I thought that you would take your daughters from me by force.'
32 Namae cathut ka lat e teh hring sak hanh. Ka hmaunawnghanaw mithmu vah na cathut kai koe kaawm e teh kahawicalah khen nateh, lat yawkaw, telah ati. Bangkongtetpawiteh, Rachel ni a paru e hah Jakop ni la panuek hoeh.
Anyone you find your gods with shall not live. In the presence of our relatives, identify what I have that is yours, and take it with you." For Jacob did not know that Rachel had stolen them.
33 Laban teh Jakop e rim hoi Leah e rim hoi a sannu kahni touh roi e rim koe a tawng teh, hmawt hoeh. Hahoi, Leah e rim hoi a tâco teh Rachel e rim dawk a kâen.
Laban went into Jacob's tent, into Leah's tent, and into the tent of the two female servants; but he did not find them. He went out of Leah's tent, and entered into Rachel's tent.
34 Rachel ni meikaphawk hah a la teh kalauk ni phunae hno thung vah a hro. Laban ni rim thung naw pueng hah pheng a pâphue eiteh hmawt hoeh.
Now Rachel had taken the idols, put them in the camel's saddle, and sat on them. Laban searched the whole tent, but did not find them.
35 Rachel ni a na pa koe, na hmalah ka thaw ngai tho hoeh. Ka bawipa, na lungkhuek sak hanh, ka kampheng lahun lah ao dawk doeh, telah ati. Pheng a pâphue eiteh meikaphawk hah hmawt thai awh hoeh.
She said to her father, "Do not let my lord be angry that I can't rise up before you; for the manner of women is on me." He searched, but did not find the teraphim.
36 Jakop teh a lungkhuek teh, Laban hah a yue. Jakop ni Laban koe, bang e phung maw ka ek, bangmaw ka yonnae ao teh, na lungkhuek laihoi na pâlei.
Jacob was angry, and argued with Laban. Jacob answered Laban, "What is my trespass? What is my sin, that you have hotly pursued after me?
37 Ka hnopainaw pueng be na pâphue teh, namae hnopai bangmaw na hmu. Maimouh roi teh lawkkâceng thai nahan ka hmaunawnghanaw hoi nange hmaunawnghanaw e hmalah tat.
Now that you have searched around in all my stuff, did you find anything from all of your household's belongings? Put it here before my relatives and your relatives, that they may judge between the two of us.
38 Kum 20 totouh nang koe ka o teh, na tu hoi na hmaenaw ni ca khe laipalah awm boihoeh. Na tuhu thung e a tan hai ka cat boihoeh.
These twenty years I have been with you. Your ewes and your female goats have not miscarried their young, and I haven't eaten the rams of your flocks.
39 Moimatheng ni a kei e hai nang koe ka phatkhai boihoeh. Kai ni paleipalang kahmat e yueng lah ouk ka rawng. Kanîthun lah a paru e naw karum lah a paru e naw hai na patho sak.
That which was torn by animals I did not bring to you. I bore its loss. You demanded payment from me whether stolen by day or stolen by night.
40 Hettelah ouk ka o. Kanîthun khumbei um hai, karum a pâding nahai, rucat um hai, ka tawk. Ihmu boum lah ka ip boihoeh.
I was consumed by the heat during the day and by the frost at night, and sleepless nights.
41 Hottelah kum 20 touh thung na im vah ka o teh, na canu roi ka hni touh kutphu e dawk kum 14, na thaw ka tawk. Na saring kutphu dawk kum 6 ka tawk teh, kutphu hah vai hra totouh bout na dum.
These twenty years I have been in your house. I served you fourteen years for your two daughters, and six years for your flock, and you have changed my wages ten times.
42 Apa Cathut, Abraham Cathut, Isak Cathut ni a taki e hah kai koe awm hoehpawiteh, atu patenghai tak caici lah ban sak han na noe. Cathut ni karucatnae hoi ka patangnae hah a panue, paduem vah na yue toe, telah ati.
Unless the God of my father, the God of Abraham, and the one whom Isaac fears, had been with me, surely now you would have sent me away empty-handed. God has seen my harsh treatment and my hard work, and rebuked you last night."
43 Laban ni a pathung teh, Jakop koe, napuinaw heh kaie canunaw doeh. Tongpanaw hai kaie capanaw doeh. Saringnaw hai kaie saringnaw doeh. Na tawn e naw pueng heh kaie seng doeh. Hateiteh, sahnin vah hete ka canunaw hoi a canaw e a lathueng vah bangmaw ka sak thai han.
Laban answered Jacob, "The daughters are my daughters, the children are my children, the flocks are my flocks, and all that you see is mine: and what can I do this day to these my daughters, or to their children whom they have borne?
44 Hatdawkvah, nang hoi kai lawkkamnae sak roi sei. Hothateh, nang hoi kai rahak dawk kapanuekkhaikung lah awm seh, telah ati.
So now, come, let us make a covenant, you and I, and let it be a witness between the two of us." And he said to him, "Look, there is no one with us; see, God is witness between me and you."
45 Hottelah, Jakop ni talung a la teh talung hah a ung.
Jacob took a stone and set it up as a standing-stone.
46 Telah Jakop ni a hmaunawnghanaw koevah, talung pung awh haw, telah ati. Talung hah a la awh teh, a pung awh. Hot van vah bu a ca awh.
Jacob said to his relatives, "Gather stones." So they took stones and made a mound. They ate there by the mound.
47 Laban ni talung pung e hah Jegarsahdutha telah a phung. Hateiteh Jakop ni Galeed telah ati.
Laban called it Jegar Sahadutha, but Jacob called it Galeed.
48 Laban ni hete pung e talung heh sahnin vah, kai hoi nang rahak vah, lawk kapanuekkhaikung lah ao telah ati. Hatdawkvah a min lah Galeed telah ati e lah ao.
Laban said, "This mound is a witness between me and you today." Therefore it was named Galeed
49 Mizpah telah hai ati awh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, Laban ni kamphei awh hnukkhu hoi BAWIPA ni maimanaw na ring lawiseh.
and Mizpah, for he said, "God watch between me and you, when we are absent one from another.
50 Ka canunaw heh roedeng na poe teh, yu alouke na tawn pawiteh, apihai maimouh koe awm hoeh eiteh, khenhaw! Cathut teh nang hoi kai rahak vah, kapanuekkhaikung lah ao, telah ati.
If you mistreat my daughters, or if you take wives besides my daughters, although no one is with us; see, God is witness between me and you."
51 Laban ni Jakop koe hete talung ung e hoi hete talung pung e heh kai hoi nang rahak vah ka ta e lah ao.
Laban said to Jacob, "See this mound, and see the standing-stone, which I have set between me and you.
52 Patawnae poe hanelah kai ni hete talung pung e hoi talung ung e hloilah ka tho mahoeh, tie hoi nang ni hai hete talung pung e hoi talung ung e hloilah tapuet hoi na tho mahoeh, telah hete talung pung e hah kapanuekkhaikung lah awm nateh, hete talung ung e hai kapanuekkhaikung lah awm naseh.
May this mound be a witness, and the standing-stone be a witness, that I will not pass over this mound to you, and that you will not pass over this mound and this standing-stone to me, to do harm.
53 Abraham Cathut, Nahor Cathut, a na pa Cathut ni maimae rahak lawkceng naseh, telah ati. Hahoi Jakop ni a na pa Isak ni taki e noe lahoi thoe a bo.
The God of Abraham, and the God of Nahor, the God of their father, judge between us." Then Jacob swore by the fear of his father Isaac.
54 Jakop ni mon dawkvah, thuengnae a sak teh a hmaunawnghanaw hah vaiyei ca hanelah a kaw teh, vaiyei hah a ca awh. Mon dawkvah a roe awh.
Jacob offered a sacrifice on the mountain, and called his relatives to eat the meal. They ate the meal and stayed all night on the mountain.
55 Laban teh amom vah a thaw teh, a capanaw hoi a canunaw hah a paco teh yawhawi a poe hnukkhu Laban teh a ma onae koe lah a ban.
Early in the morning, Laban rose up, and kissed his sons and his daughters, and blessed them. Laban departed and returned to his place.
