Genesis 28
1 Isaac called Jacob, blessed him, and commanded him, “You shall not take a wife of the daughters of Canaan.
Te dongah Isaak loh Jakob te a khue phoeiah yoethen a paek tih a uen vaengah, “Kanaan nu te na yuu la lo boeh.
2 Arise, go to Paddan Aram, to the house of Bethuel your mother’s father. Take a wife from there from the daughters of Laban, your mother’s brother.
Thoo, Paddanaram kah na nu kah a napa Bethuel im la cet lamtah na nupu Laban canu te na yuu la lo.
3 May God Almighty bless you, and make you fruitful, and multiply you, that you may be a company of peoples,
Pathen Tlungthang loh nang te yoethen m'paek vetih na pungtai uh phoeiah na ping uh vaengah pilnam hlangping la na om bitni.
4 and give you the blessing of Abraham, to you and to your offspring with you, that you may inherit the land where you travel, which God gave to Abraham.”
Tedae Pathen loh Abraham taengah a paek tangtae Abraham kah yoethennah, na lampahnah kho he nang neh na tiingan loh na pang ham m'pae saeh” a ti nah.
5 Isaac sent Jacob away. He went to Paddan Aram to Laban, son of Bethuel the Syrian, the brother of Rebekah, Jacob’s and Esau’s mother.
Te phoeiah Isaak loh Jakob te a tueih tih Jakob neh Esau kah a manu Rebekah kah nganpa Laban, Paddanaram Arammi Bethuel capa taengla cet.
6 Now Esau saw that Isaac had blessed Jacob and sent him away to Paddan Aram, to take him a wife from there, and that as he blessed him he gave him a command, saying, “You shall not take a wife of the daughters of Canaan;”
Tedae Isaak loh Jakob yoethen a paek tih a yuu aka lo ham Paddanaram la a tueih te khaw, Jakob te yoethen a paek vaengah Kanaan nu te na yuu la lo boeh a ti nah tih a uen te khaw Esau loh a hmuh.
7 and that Jacob obeyed his father and his mother, and was gone to Paddan Aram.
Jakob long khaw a napa neh a manu ol a ngai tih Paddanaram la cet.
8 Esau saw that the daughters of Canaan did not please Isaac, his father.
Esau long khaw a napa Isaak kah mik ah Kanaan nu te thae tila a hmuh.
9 So Esau went to Ishmael, and took, in addition to the wives that he had, Mahalath the daughter of Ishmael, Abraham’s son, the sister of Nebaioth, to be his wife.
Te dongah Esau loh Ishmael taengla cet tih a yuu rhoek hmanah Abraham capa Ishmael canu Mahalath, Nebaioth ngannu te a yuu la a loh.
10 Jacob went out from Beersheba, and went toward Haran.
Te vaengah Jakob loh Beersheba lamloh cet tih Haran la pawk.
11 He came to a certain place, and stayed there all night, because the sun had set. He took one of the stones of the place, and put it under his head, and lay down in that place to sleep.
Tedae hmuen pakhat te a pha vaengah khomik vik tla tih pahoi rhaeh. Te vaengah te hmuen kah lungto a loh tih a lu a tloeng. Te phoeiah tekah hmuen ah yalh.
12 He dreamed and saw a stairway set upon the earth, and its top reached to heaven. Behold, the angels of God were ascending and descending on it.
Te vaengah mang a man hatah diklai ah kuihlak tarha doh uh tih a soi loh vaan duela a pha. A soah Pathen kah puencawn rhoek te tarha luei uh tih suntla uh.
13 Behold, the LORD stood above it, and said, “I am the LORD, the God of Abraham your father, and the God of Isaac. I will give the land you lie on to you and to your offspring.
Te vaengah anih taengah BOEIPA te lawt pai tih, “Kai na pa Abraham kah BOEIPA Pathen neh Isaak kah Pathen loh na yalh nah diklai he nang neh nang kah tiingan taengah kan paek ni.
14 Your offspring will be as the dust of the earth, and you will spread abroad to the west, and to the east, and to the north, and to the south. In you and in your offspring, all the families of the earth will be blessed.
Nang kah tiingan tah diklai laipi bangla om vetih khothoeng tuitunli neh tuithim tlangpuei la na pungtai uh phoeiah nang neh nang tiingan rhang neh diklai huiko boeih loh a yoethen uh ni.
15 Behold, I am with you, and will keep you, wherever you go, and will bring you again into this land. For I will not leave you until I have done that which I have spoken of to you.”
Kai he nang taengah ka om tih na caeh nah boeih ah nang kan ngaithuen. Te dongah nang te he khohmuen la kam mael puei bitni. Nang taengah ka thui te ka saii hlan vaengah nang kan hnoo mahpawh,” a ti nah.
16 Jacob awakened out of his sleep, and he said, “Surely the LORD is in this place, and I did not know it.”
Te dongah Jakob loh a ih lamkah a haenghang vaengah, “Hekah hmuen ah BOEIPA loh rhep om dae kai loh ka ming pawh” a ti.
17 He was afraid, and said, “How awesome this place is! This is none other than God’s house, and this is the gate of heaven.”
Tedae a rhih tih, “Hekah hmuen he rhih ham om tih Pathen kah im neh vaan vongka pawt atah a tloe moenih he” a ti.
18 Jacob rose up early in the morning, and took the stone that he had put under his head, and set it up for a pillar, and poured oil on its top.
Jakob loh mincang a thoh vaengah a lu kah a khueh lungto te a loh tih kaam a ling phoeiah a so ah situi a bueih.
19 He called the name of that place Bethel, but the name of the city was Luz at the first.
Te dongah tekah khopuei ming te lamhma ah Luz la om dae hatah tekah hmuen ming te Bethel la a khue.
20 Jacob vowed a vow, saying, “If God will be with me, and will keep me in this way that I go, and will give me bread to eat, and clothing to put on,
Te phoeiah Jakob loh olcaeng neh a caeng tih, “Pathen loh kai taengah om tih he longpuei ah ka caeh vanbangla, kai n'dawndah phoeiah caak ham buh neh bai ham himbai te kai m'paek bal tih,
21 so that I come again to my father’s house in peace, and the LORD will be my God,
a pa im ah sading la ka bal atah BOEIPA te kai kah Pathen la om ni.
22 then this stone, which I have set up for a pillar, will be God’s house. Of all that you will give me I will surely give a tenth to you.”
Te phoeiah hekah lungto kaam la ka ling he Pathen kah im la poeh vetih kai nan paek boeih te namah ham parha pakhat la kan paek ni,” a ti.
