Kamtawngnae 33
1 Hahoi Jakop ni a radoung teh, khenhaw! Esaw teh tami 400 touh hoi a tho. Hahoi a canaw hah Leah hoi a sannu koe vah a ta.
And Jacob lifted up his eyes, and looked, and, behold, Esau came, and with him four hundred men. And he divided the children to Leah, and to Rachel, and to the two handmaids.
2 Hahoi a sannu hoi a canaw hah hma ahman, hat hnukkhu vah Leah hoi a canaw, Rachel hoi Joseph teh a hnukteng poung lah a ta.
And he put the handmaids and their children foremost, and Leah and her children after, and Rachel and Joseph last of all.
3 Ama teh hma ahman teh, a hmau teng a pha toteh talai vaisari touh a tabo.
And he passed on before them, and bowed himself to the ground seven times, till he came near to his brother.
4 Hatei ama kâhmo hanelah Esaw koe a yawng teh, a kâtapam roi teh, a kâpaco roi teh, a ka roi.
And Esau ran to meet him, and embraced him, and fell on his neck, and kissed him: and they wept.
5 Esaw ni a khet teh, napui hoi camonaw hah a hmu. Hahoi teh na thokhai e naw hah tami bangpatetnaw na maw, telah atipouh. Ahni ni Cathut ni na lungma teh na san a poe e camonaw nan ma aw atipouh.
And he lifted up his eyes, and saw the women and the children; and said, Who are those with thee? And he said, The children whom God hath graciously given to thy servant.
6 A sannu hah a canaw hoi a tho teh a tabut.
Then the handmaidens came near, they and their children, and they bowed themselves.
7 Leah hai a canaw hoi a tho teh a tabut. Hahoi Rachel hoi Joseph hai a tho teh a tabut rawi.
And Leah also with her children came near, and bowed themselves: and after came Joseph near and Rachel, and they bowed themselves.
8 Esaw ni saringhu a kâhmo e naw pueng hah bangtelane, telah ati. Ahnimouh ni ka bawipa na minhmai kahawi ka hmu thai nahanelah ka sak e doeh, telah ati.
And he said, What meanest thou by all this drove which I met? And he said, These are to find grace in the sight of my lord.
9 Hatei Esaw ni ka nawngha, moikapap ka tawn, na tawn e teh nama hane ma tat leih, atipouh.
And Esau said, I have enough, my brother; keep what thou hast to thyself.
10 Jakop ni nahoeh bo, na minhmai kahawi ka hmawt pawiteh, pahren lahoi na poe e poehno hah na dâw pouh loe. Cathut mei hmu lah na mei ka hmu teh, kai lathueng na lung bout ahawi.
And Jacob said, Nay, I pray thee, if now I have found grace in thy sight, then receive my present at my hand: for therefore I have seen thy face, as though I had seen the face of God, and thou hast been pleased with me.
11 Cathut ni na pahren teh, moi ka tawn doeh. Pahren lahoi kai ni na poe e naw hah na dâw pouh yaw kaw, telah ati. Hottelah pou a pasawt teh a dâw pouh.
Take, I pray thee, my blessing that is brought to thee; because God hath dealt graciously with me, and because I have enough. And he urged him, and he took it.
12 Hahoi Esaw ni kamthaw awh sei. Cet awh sei, na hmalah ka cei han atipouh.
And he said, Let us take our journey, and let us go, and I will go before thee.
13 Hatei Jakop ni ahni koe na camonaw heh ek a naw rah. Tuhu hoi maitohu hoi kaimouh koe kaawm e naw teh ca ka cun e naw lah ao dawkvah, ka bawipa nang ni na panue doeh. Hnin touh mah karanglah ka hrui pawiteh be a due awh han doeh.
And he said to him, My lord knoweth that the children are tender, and the flocks and herds with young are with me: and if men should overdrive them one day, all the flock will die.
14 Ka bawipa, pahren lahoi na sannaw hmalah cet nateh, Seir mon dawk ka bawipa nang koe pha awh hoehroukrak, ka hmalah saring ka cet e naw, a cei thai awh e patetlah camonaw hai a cei thai awh e patetlah payai lahoi ka ceikhai han, telah ati.
Let my lord, I pray thee, pass over before his servant: and I will lead on slowly, according as the cattle that go before me and the children are able to endure, until I come to my lord to Seir.
15 Esaw ni kai koe kaawm e a tangawn kangna teh, tat awh lawisei, telah ati. Hatei, ahni ni bangmaw a panki. Ka bawipa minhmai kahawi na hmawt sak leih telah ati.
And Esau said, Let me now leave with thee some of the people that are with me. And he said, What needeth it? let me find grace in the sight of my lord.
16 Hottelah, Esaw teh hat hnin vah Seir mon pâtam laihoi a ban.
So Esau returned that day on his way to Seir.
17 Jakop teh Sukoth vah a cei teh, ama hanelah im a sak teh, a saringnaw hane haiyah impui a sak pouh.
And Jacob journeyed to Succoth, and built for himself an house, and made booths for his cattle: therefore the name of the place is called Succoth.
18 Jakop teh lungmawngcalah paddanaram ram hoi Kanaan ram e kaawm sekem khopui koe a pha teh, khopui pui hmalah rim pui hah a sak.
And Jacob came to Shalem, a city of Shechem, which is in the land of Canaan, when he came from Padanaram; and pitched his tent before the city.
19 Hote rim a saknae hmuen teh sekem na pa Hamor capanaw koe tangka 100 touh hoi a ran e doeh,
And he bought the piece of land, where he had spread his tent, at the hand of the children of Hamor, Shechem’s father, for an hundred pieces of money.
20 Hawvah, khoungroe a sak teh, El Elohim Isarel telah min a phung awh.
And he built there an altar, and called it Elelohe-Israel.
