Genesis 29
1 And Jacob started and went to the land of the east to Laban, the son of Bathuel the Syrian, and the brother of Rebecca, mother of Jacob and Esau.
Jakop ni pou a cei teh Kanîtholae taminaw e ram dawk a pha.
2 And he looks, and behold! a well in the plain; and there were there three flocks of sheep resting at it, for out of that well they watered the flocks, but there was a great stone at the mouth of the well.
A khet navah tuikhu kaawm e lawpam vah tuhu kathum touh a kamkawn e hah a hmu. Bangkongtetpawiteh, tuikhu thung e tui hah tunaw ouk a pânei awh. Tuikhu koe lungsong ao.
3 And there were all the flocks gathered, and they used to roll away the stone from the mouth of the well, and water the flocks, and set the stone again in its place on the mouth of the well.
Hote hmuen koe tunaw pueng pâkhueng lah ao han. Tuikhu khannae lungsong hah takhoe vaiteh, tu tui pânei hoi talung teh ama onae hmuen dawk bout teng lah ao han.
4 And Jacob said to them, Brethren, whence are ye? and they said, We are of Charrhan.
Jakop ni ahnimouh koevah, ka hmaunawnghanaw api kho maw, telah a pacei. Ahnimouh ni, Haran taminaw doeh telah atipouh awh.
5 And he said to them, Know ye Laban, the son of Nachor? and they said, We do know [him].
Ahni ni ahnimouh koevah, Nahor capa Laban na panue awh maw telah a pacei. Ahnimouh ni, Oe ka panue awh, telah atipouh awh.
6 And he said to them, Is he well? And they said, He is well. And behold Rachel his daughter came with the sheep.
Ahni ni ahnimouh koevah, a hring rah maw, telah a pacei. Ahnimouh ni, Oe a dam rah doeh, khenhaw! a canu Rachel hai tu hoi a tho lahun, telah atipouh awh.
7 And Jacob said, it is yet high day, it is not yet time that the flocks be gathered together; water ye the flocks, and depart and feed them.
Ahni ni, Khenhaw! Kanî asaw rah, saring pâkhueng hanelah khout hoeh rah. Tunaw hah tui pânei awh nateh bout tha awh ei, telah atipouh.
8 And they said, We shall not be able, until all the shepherds be gathered together, and they shall roll away the stone from the mouth of the well, then we will water the flocks.
Hateiteh, ahnimouh ni, tuhunaw pueng pâkhueng teh tuikhu tengnae talung takhoe hoehnahlan pueng teh tui pânei thai lah awm awh hoeh. Takhoe hnukkhu to doeh tu heh tui ouk ka pânei awh, telah atipouh awh.
9 While he was yet speaking to them, behold, Rachel the daughter of Laban came with her father's sheep, for she fed the sheep of her father.
Hottelah, lawk a kâpan navah, Rachel teh a na pa e tunaw hoi a tho, bangkongtetpawiteh ahni teh tu ka khoum e napui lah ao.
10 And it came to pass when Jacob saw Rachel the daughter of Laban, his mother's brother, and the sheep of Laban, his mother's brother, that Jacob came and rolled away the stone from the mouth of the well, and watered the sheep of Laban, his mother's brother.
Hahoi, hettelah ao. Jakop ni a manu e a thangroi Laban e canu Rachel hoi tunaw a hmu toteh, a cei sin teh tuikhu tengnae talung hah a takhoe pouh teh a manu e a thangroi e tu hah tui a pânei pouh.
11 And Jacob kissed Rachel, and cried with a loud voice and wept.
Hahoi, Jakop ni Rachel hah a paco teh ngawngngawng a ka.
12 And he told Rachel that he was the near relative of her father, and the son of Rebecca; and she ran and reported to her father according to these words.
Jakop ni Rachel koe a na pa e a na minca lah a onae hoi Rebekah e capa lah a onae kong hah a dei pouh. Hatdawkvah, Rachel ni a na pa koe ayawng teh a dei pouh.
13 And it came to pass when Laban heard the name of Jacob, his sister's son, he ran to meet him, and embraced and kissed him, and brought him into his house; and he told Laban all these sayings.
Hahoi, Laban ni a tawncanu e capa Jakop kong a thai tahma, ahni dawn hanelah ayawng. A tapam teh a paco hnukkhu, a im vah a hrawi. Jakop ni Laban koe hno kâhmo e akongnaw pueng a dei pouh.
14 And Laban said to him, Thou art of my bones and of my flesh; and he was with him a full month.
Laban ni ahni koe, nang teh ka misa katang doeh, telah atipouh teh ahni koevah thapa yung touh ao.
15 And Laban said to Jacob, Surely thou shalt not serve me for nothing, because thou art my brother; tell me what thy reward is to be.
Laban ni Jakop koevah, Ka minca lah na o dawkvah, aphu laipalah ka thaw na tawk han na maw. Bangmaw na poe han dei haw, telah atipouh.
16 Now Laban had two daughters, the name of the elder was Lea, and the name of the younger, Rachel.
Laban ni canu kahni touh a tawn teh a camin teh Leah a phung, a cahnoung teh Rachel a phung.
17 And the eyes of Lea were weak. But Rachel was beautiful in appearance, and exceedingly fair in countenance.
Leah teh a mit roumkawt e lah ao. Hatei, Rachel teh a tungtang hoi a mei kahawi e tami lah ao.
18 And Jacob loved Rachel, and said, I will serve thee seven years for thy younger daughter Rachel.
Jakop ni Rachel a ngai dawkvah, na canu kanaw e Rachel hanlah kum sari touh na thaw ka tawk han, telah atipouh.
19 And Laban said to him, [It is] better that I should give her to thee, than that I should give her to another man; dwell with me.
Laban ni, ayâ alouke ka poe hlak teh nang na poe e heh ahawihnawn han doeh, kai koe awmh, telah atipouh.
20 And Jacob served for Rachel seven years, and they were before him as a few days, by reason of his loving her.
Hatdawkvah, Jakop ni Rachel hanlah kum sari touh a thaw a tawk pouh, a lungpataw poung dawkvah hnin dawngdengca e patetlah a pouk.
21 And Jacob said to Laban, Give me my wife, for my days are fulfilled, that I may go in to her.
Jakop ni Laban koe, ka ikhai thai nahanlah ka yu teh na poe leih, bangkongtetpawiteh, ahnintha teh akuep toe, telah atipouh.
22 And Laban gathered together all the men of the place, and made a marriage-feast.
Laban ni khoca pueng a pâkhueng teh bu canae pawi a sak.
23 And it was even, and he took his daughter Lea, and brought her in to Jacob, and Jacob went in to her.
Hahoi, kho a hmo nah a canu Leah a hrawi teh Jakop koevah a thak pouh teh a ikhai.
24 And Laban gave to his daughter Lea, Zelpha his handmaid, as a handmaid for her.
Laban ni a sannu Zilpah hah a canu Leah koevah san hanlah a poe.
25 And it was morning, and behold it was Lea; and Jacob said to Laban, What is this that thou hast done to me? did I not serve thee for Rachel? and wherefore hast thou deceived me?
Khodai toteh, khenhaw! Leah lah a o, Jakop ni Laban koevah, ka lathueng vah na sak e heh bangmaw. Rachel ka yu nahanlah na thaw ka tawk hoeh na maw. Bangkongmaw na dum, telah atipouh.
26 And Laban answered, It is not done thus in our country, to give the younger before the elder.
Laban ni, Ka ram dawk a hmau hoehnahlan a nawngha ceisak phung roeroe nahoeh.
27 Fulfil then her sevens, and I will give to thee her also in return for thy labour, which thou labourest with me, yet seven other years.
Hete napui hanlah hnin sari kuep sak ei, hahoi, kum sari touh ka thaw bout na tawk han e dawk alouknaw hai na poe han, telah atipouh e patetlah,
28 And Jacob did so, and fulfilled her sevens; and Laban gave him his daughter Rachel to wife.
Jakop ni hottelah a sak teh hnin sari touh a kuep sak teh Laban ni a canu Rachel haiyah a yu hanlah a poe.
29 And Laban gave to his daughter his handmaid Balla, for a handmaid to her.
Hahoi, Laban ni a sannu Bilhah hah a canu Rachel koevah a san hanlah a poe.
30 And he went in to Rachel; and he loved Rachel more than Lea; and he served him seven other years.
Rachel bout a ikhai. Leah hlakvah Rachel heh a lung hoe a pataw dawkvah, Laban e thaw kum sari touh bout a tawk pouh.
31 And when the Lord God saw that Lea was hated, he opened her womb; but Rachel was barren.
BAWIPA ni Leah teh lungpataw hoeh tie a panue dawkvah a thun a kamawng sak. Hatei, Rachel teh a carôe.
32 And Lea conceived and bore a son to Jacob; and she called his name, Ruben; saying, Because the Lord has looked on my humiliation, and has given me a son, now then my husband will love me.
Leah teh camo a vawn teh ca tongpa a khe, a min lah Reuben a phung. Bangkongtetpawiteh, BAWIPA ni runae ka kâhmo e a panue. Hatdawkvah, atu teh ka vâ ni na lungpataw han toe, telah ati.
33 And she conceived again, and bore a second son to Jacob; and she said, Because the Lord has heard that I am hated, he has given to me this one also; and she called his name, Simeon.
Camo bout a vawn teh ca tongpa bout a khe. Kai na hnoun e BAWIPA ni a thai dawkvah, hete ca tongpa hai na poe telah ati teh Simeon telah min a phung.
34 And she conceived yet again, and bore a son, and said, In the present time my husband will be with me, for I have born him three sons; therefore she called his name, Levi.
Camo bout a vawn teh ca tongpa bout a khe. Atu teh ca tongpa kathum touh ka khe pouh toe dawkvah, ka vâ ni na tha mahoeh toe, telah ati. Hatdawkvah, a min lah Levih a sak.
35 And having conceived yet again, she bore a son, and said, Now yet again this time will I give thanks to the Lord; therefore she called his name, Juda; and ceased bearing.
Hahoi, camo bout a vawn teh ca tongpa bout a khe. Atu teh, BAWIPA ka pholen han, telah ati. Hatdawkvah, a min Judah a phung. Hahoi teh, camo khe hoeh toe.
