< Genesis 28 >

1 And Isaac having called for Jacob, blessed him, and charged him, saying, You shall not take a wife of the daughters of the Chananites.
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 Rise and depart quickly into Mesopotamia, to the house of Bathuel the father of your mother, and take to yourself thence a wife of the daughters of Laban your mother's brother.
Thoo, Padanaram kah na nu kah a napa Bethuel im la cet lamtah na nupu Laban canu te na yuu la lo.
3 And may my God bless you, and increase you, and multiply you, and you shall become gatherings of nations.
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 may he give you the blessing of my father Abraam, even to you and to your seed after you, to inherit the land of your sojourning, which God gave to Abraam.
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 So Isaac sent away Jacob, and he went into Mesopotamia to Laban the son of Bethuel the Syrian, the brother of Rebecca the mother of Jacob and Esau.
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 And Esau saw that Isaac blessed Jacob, and sent him away to Mesopotamia of Syria as he blessed him, to take to himself a wife thence, and [that] he charged him, saying, You shall not take a wife of the daughters of the Chananites;
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 listened to his father and his mother, and went to Mesopotamia of Syria.
Jakob long khaw a napa neh a manu ol a ngai tih Paddanaram la cet.
8 And Esau also having seen that the daughters of Chanaan were evil before his father Isaac,
Esau long khaw a napa Isaak kah mik ah Kanaan nu te thae tila a hmuh.
9 Esau went to Ismael, and took Maeleth the daughter of Ismael, the son of Abraam, the sister of Nabeoth, a wife in addition to his [other] wives.
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 And Jacob went forth from the well of the oath, and departed into Charrhan.
Te vaengah Jakob loh Beersheba lamloh cet tih Haran la pawk.
11 And came to a certain place and slept there, for the sun had gone down; and he took [one] of the stones of the place, and put it at his head, and lay down to sleep in that place,
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 and dreamt, and behold a ladder fixed on the earth, whose top reached to heaven, and the angels of God ascended and descended 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 And the Lord stood upon it, and said, I am the God of your father Abraam, and the God of Isaac; fear not, the land on which you lie, to you will I give it, and to your seed.
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 And your seed shall be as the sand of the earth; and it shall spread abroad to the sea, and the south, and the north, and to the east; and in you and in your seed shall all the tribes of the earth 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 And behold I am with you to preserve you continually in all the way wherein you shall go; and I will bring you back to this land; for I will not desert you, until I have done all that I have said 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 And Jacob awaked out of his sleep, and said, The Lord is in this place, and I knew it not.
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 And he was afraid, and said, How fearful is this place! this is none other than the house of God, 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 And Jacob rose up in the morning, and took the stone he [had] laid there by his head, and he set it up [as] a pillar, and poured oil on the top of it.
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 And he called the name of that place, the House of God; and the name of the city before was Ulam-luz.
Te dongah tekah khopuei ming te lamhma ah Luz la om dae hatah tekah hmuen ming te Bethel la a khue.
20 And Jacob vowed a vow, saying, If the Lord God will be with me, and guard me throughout on this journey, on which I am going, and give me bread to eat, and raiment 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 and bring me back in safety to the house of my father, then shall the Lord be for a God to me.
a pa im ah sading la ka bal atah BOEIPA te kai kah Pathen la om ni.
22 And this stone, which I have set up for a pillar, shall be to me a house of God; and of all whatever you shall give me, I will tithe a tenth for 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.
