< Genesis 30 >

1 When Rachel saw that she bore Jacob no children, Rachel envied her sister. She said to Jacob, “Give me children, or else I will die.”
Rachel ni Jakop hanlah camo a khe pouh hoeh e a hmu toteh, a hmau hah a ut teh Jakop koe, Camo na poe, nahoeh pawiteh ka due han, telah atipouh.
2 Jacob’s anger burned against Rachel, and he said, “Am I in God’s place, who has withheld from you the fruit of the womb?”
Jakop teh Rachel koe a lungkhuek teh, ca khe han ka pasoung hoeh e Cathut yueng lah maw ka o, telah ati.
3 She said, “Behold, my maid Bilhah. Go in to her, that she may bear on my knees, and I also may obtain children by her.”
Napui ni, khenhaw! ka sannu Bilhah heh ipkhai nateh kai ni hai ahni koehoi camo ka tawn thai nahanlah, ka phai dawk camo a khe han, telah ati.
4 She gave him Bilhah her servant as wife, and Jacob went in to her.
Hatdawkvah, a sannu Bilhah teh a yu hanlah a poe teh Jakop ni a ikhai.
5 Bilhah conceived, and bore Jacob a son.
Bilhah ni camo a vawn teh Jakop hanlah ca tongpa a khe pouh.
6 Rachel said, “God has judged me, and has also heard my voice, and has given me a son.” Therefore she called his name Dan.
Rachel ni, Cathut ni na pouk teh ka lawk hai a thai dawkvah, ca tongpa na poe, telah ati. Hatdawkvah, a min lah Dan a phung.
7 Bilhah, Rachel’s servant, conceived again, and bore Jacob a second son.
Rachel e a sannu teh camo bout a vawn teh Jakop hanlah ca tongpa apâhni bout a khe pouh.
8 Rachel said, “I have wrestled with my sister with mighty wrestlings, and have prevailed.” She named him Naphtali.
Rachel ni, ka hmau hoi kâthe teh ka tâ toe telah ati. Hatdawkvah, a min lah Naptali a phung.
9 When Leah saw that she had finished bearing, she took Zilpah, her servant, and gave her to Jacob as a wife.
Leah ni camo ka khe thai hoeh toe tie a kâpanue dawkvah, a sannu Zilpah hah a ceikhai teh a yu hanlah Jakop hah a poe.
10 Zilpah, Leah’s servant, bore Jacob a son.
Hatdawkvah, Leah e a sannu, Zilpah ni camo tongpa Jakop hanlah a khe pouh.
11 Leah said, “How fortunate!” She named him Gad.
Leah ni, a yawhawi, telah ati teh, a min lah Gad a phung.
12 Zilpah, Leah’s servant, bore Jacob a second son.
Leah e a sannu Zilpah ni ca tongpa Jakop hanlah bout a khe pouh.
13 Leah said, “Happy am I, for the daughters will call me happy.” She named him Asher.
Leah ni, Ka yaw ahawi, napuinaw ni a yaw kahawi poung katang e na ti pouh han, telah ati teh a min lah Asher a phung.
14 Reuben went in the days of wheat harvest, and found mandrakes in the field, and brought them to his mother, Leah. Then Rachel said to Leah, “Please give me some of your son’s mandrakes.”
Canga tue nah Reuben teh law vah a cei teh, hloisi hah a hmu teh a manu Leah koevah a thokhai. Hatdawkvah, Rachel ni Leah koevah, pahren lahoi na capa hloisi youn touh na poe haw, telah atipouh.
15 Leah said to her, “Is it a small matter that you have taken away my husband? Would you take away my son’s mandrakes, also?” Rachel said, “Therefore he will lie with you tonight for your son’s mandrakes.”
Ahni ni, ka vâ na lawp e heh hno tica e lah maw na pouk, ka capa hloisi totouh lawp han e na kâcai telah atipouh. Rachel ni, hat boi pawiteh, na capa e hloisi yueng lah atu tangmin na ikhai han, telah atipouh.
16 Jacob came from the field in the evening, and Leah went out to meet him, and said, “You must come in to me; for I have surely hired you with my son’s mandrakes.” He lay with her that night.
Tangmin lah Jakop teh law hoi a tho teh, Leah ni a dawn hanlah a thaw teh, Na ikhai roeroe han, bangkongtetpawiteh, ka capa koe e hloisi heh ka hlai toe, telah ati dawkvah, hote tangmin teh a ikhai.
17 God listened to Leah, and she conceived, and bore Jacob a fifth son.
Cathut ni Leah e ratoumnae hah a tarawi, camo a vawn teh Jakop hanlah ca tongpa panganae a khe pouh.
18 Leah said, “God has given me my hire, because I gave my servant to my husband.” She named him Issachar.
Leah ni, Ka sannu hah ka vâ koe ka poe dawkvah, Cathut ni ka tawknae aphu hah na poe van, telah a titeh a min lah Issakhar a phung.
19 Leah conceived again, and bore a sixth son to Jacob.
Leah ni, Camo bout a vawn teh Jakop hanlah ca tongpa ataruknae bout a khe pouh.
20 Leah said, “God has endowed me with a good dowry. Now my husband will live with me, because I have borne him six sons.” She named him Zebulun.
Leah ni, Cathut ni kahawi poung e kamthoupnae hoi na pathoup, ka vâ hanelah ca tongpa taruk touh ka khe pouh toung dawkvah, kai koe ao han toe, telah a titeh a min lah Zebulun a phung.
21 Afterwards, she bore a daughter, and named her Dinah.
Hathnukkhu, napuica bout a khe teh a min lah Dinah a phung.
22 God remembered Rachel, and God listened to her, and opened her womb.
Cathut ni Rachel hah pahnim hoeh. Hatdawkvah, Cathut ni a ratoumnae a tarawi pouh teh, camo im a kamawng sak.
23 She conceived, bore a son, and said, “God has taken away my reproach.”
Hahoi, camo a vawn teh ca tongpa a khe. Cathut ni ka min mathoenae na ramuk pouh, telah ati.
24 She named him Joseph, saying, “May the LORD add another son to me.”
Hahoi, BAWIPA ni capa alouke bout na poe ei naseh, a titeh a min lah Joseph a phung.
25 When Rachel had borne Joseph, Jacob said to Laban, “Send me away, that I may go to my own place, and to my country.
Rachel ni Joseph a khe hnukkhu hettelah ao. Jakop ni Laban koevah, ka onae ram lah ka ban thai nahanlah na cetsak leih.
26 Give me my wives and my children for whom I have served you, and let me go; for you know my service with which I have served you.”
Na thaw na tawk pouh toe. Hatdawkvah, ka yunaw hoi ka canaw na poe nateh na cetsak leih, bangkongtetpawiteh na thaw ka tawk e naw hah na panue, telah atipouh.
27 Laban said to him, “If now I have found favor in your eyes, stay here, for I have divined that the LORD has blessed me for your sake.”
Laban ni, Na pahren thai pawiteh, awm ei. Bangkongtetpawiteh, BAWIPA ni nang pawlawk dawk hoi yawhawinae na poe e hah ka mithmu vah ka panue, telah atipouh.
28 He said, “Appoint me your wages, and I will give it.”
Ama roeroe ni na hmu hane to nateh na poe han, telah ati.
29 Jacob said to him, “You know how I have served you, and how your livestock have fared with me.
Jakop ni ahni koevah, bangtelamaw na thaw ka tawk tie hoi na saring hah bangtelamaw kai koe ao ti hah na panue.
30 For it was little which you had before I came, and it has increased to a multitude. The LORD has blessed you wherever I turned. Now when will I provide for my own house also?”
Ka tho hoehnahlan teh yitca doeh na tawnh, atuteh moikapap a kampung. Pek ka tho hoi BAWIPA ni yawhawinae hah na poe. Nâtuek maw ka imthungkhu hanelah thaw ka tawk van han telah ati.
31 Laban said, “What shall I give you?” Jacob said, “You shall not give me anything. If you will do this thing for me, I will again feed your flock and keep it.
Hatdawkvah ahni koe, bangmaw na poe han telah atipouh. Jakop ni, banghai na poe hanh. Hetheh na sak pouh boipawiteh, na saringnaw teh bout na khoum pouh han.
32 I will pass through all your flock today, removing from there every speckled and spotted one, and every black one among the sheep, and the spotted and speckled among the goats. This will be my hire.
Sahnin vah tuhu, hmaehu, thung ka cei teh, tarakcak e hmaenaw, humtamang e tunaw pueng hah koung a kapek toe. Hathnukkhu ka tarakcak e hmae, humtamang e tunaw teh kai ni ka coe hane aphu lah ao han.
33 So my righteousness will answer for me hereafter, when you come concerning my hire that is before you. Every one that is not speckled and spotted among the goats, and black among the sheep, that might be with me, will be considered stolen.”
Hatdawkvah, atotovah kaie tawkphu ka hmu hane teh na hmalah a pha to vah, ka lannae ni na pathung han doeh. Hmae thung dawk tarakcak lah a em ka pangaw hoeh e, a em kasawlah ka pangaw hoeh e, tu thung dawk ka tamang hoeh e kai koe na hmawt pawiteh, ka paru e lah na pouk han, telah atipouh.
34 Laban said, “Behold, let it be according to your word.”
Laban ni, Oe, na dei e patetlah tho lawiseh, telah ati.
35 That day, he removed the male goats that were streaked and spotted, and all the female goats that were speckled and spotted, every one that had white in it, and all the black ones among the sheep, and gave them into the hand of his sons.
Hot hnin totouh hoi, hmaetan tarakcak ni teh kasawlah a em kaawmnaw pueng hoi, Hmae manu tarakcak ni teh kasawlah a em kaawm e naw pueng, ka pangaw pueng hoi tu thung dawk ka tamangnaw pueng hah a kapek pouh teh a capanaw e a kut dawk a poe.
36 He set three days’ journey between himself and Jacob, and Jacob fed the rest of Laban’s flocks.
Ahni hoi Jakop rahak vah hnin thum lamcei koe ao sak teh, Jakop ni Laban e saringnaw pueng hah bout a thak pouh.
37 Jacob took to himself rods of fresh poplar, almond, and plane tree, peeled white streaks in them, and made the white appear which was in the rods.
Jakop ni poplar hoi hazel hoi almond thing e akangnaw hah a la teh tarakcak lah a tarik.
38 He set the rods which he had peeled opposite the flocks in the watering troughs where the flocks came to drink. They conceived when they came to drink.
Saringnaw ni tui ouk a neinae dokko hoi palang dawkvah, saringnaw e hmalah sonron hah a ta. Bangkongtetpawiteh, tui nei hanlah ouk a tho awh nah saring hah âvâ ouk a cu awh.
39 The flocks conceived before the rods, and the flocks produced streaked, speckled, and spotted.
Hatdawkvah, saring hah sonron teng âvâ ouk a cu nah, a em tarakcak lah ouk a khe.
40 Jacob separated the lambs, and set the faces of the flocks toward the streaked and all the black in Laban’s flock. He put his own droves apart, and did not put them into Laban’s flock.
Hahoi, Jakop ni tucanaw a kapek teh, Laban e saringhu thung dawk e a em kaawm hoi katamangnaw pueng koe lah a kangvawi sak. Amae saring hah a kapek teh Laban e saring hoi rei hrueng hoeh.
41 Whenever the stronger of the flock conceived, Jacob laid the rods in front of the eyes of the flock in the watering troughs, that they might conceive among the rods;
Atha bet kaawm hnawn e saring âvâcu toteh, sonron hmalah âvâcu thai nahanlah, Jakop ni tui a lawngnae koe saringnaw e a hmaitung vah, sonron hah ouk a ta pouh.
42 but when the flock were feeble, he did not put them in. So the feebler were Laban’s, and the stronger Jacob’s.
Hatei, saring hah kamsoe pawiteh tat pouh hoeh. Hottelah, ka kamsoe e a canaw teh Laban e lah ao teh, a tha bet kaawm e naw hah Jakop e lah ao.
43 The man increased exceedingly, and had large flocks, female servants and male servants, and camels and donkeys.
Hatdawkvah, Jakop koe moi kapap lah a kampung teh saringhu moi kapap, sannu hoi sanpa naw hoi, kalauknaw hoi lanaw hah a tawn.
