Genesis 31
1 And Jacob heard the words of the sons of Laban, saying, Jacob has taken all that was our father's, and of our father's property has he gotten all this glory.
Laban e canaw ni, Jakop ni kaimae apa e hno pueng koung a la pouh dawkvah, hete tawnta e naw pueng heh a hmu e doeh, telah a dei awh e lawk hah Jakop ni a thai.
2 And Jacob saw the countenance of Laban, and behold it was not towards him as before.
Jakop ni, Laban e minhmai a khet nah a hmoun e patetlah minhmai kahawi ka hmawt hoeh toe tie hah a panue.
3 And the Lord said to Jacob, Return to the land of your father, and to your family, and I will be with you.
Hatdawkvah, BAWIPA ni Jakop koevah, na mintoenaw e ram hoi na imthungkhu lah ban nateh, nang koe vah ka o han, telah ati.
4 And Jacob sent and called Lea and Rachel to the plain where the flocks were.
Jakop ni tami a patoun teh Rachel hoi Leah hah saring onae law vah tho hanelah a kaw sak.
5 And he said to them, I see the face of your father, that it is not towards me as before, but the God of my father was with me.
Ahnimouh roi koe, na pa e minhmai ka hmu navah, ahmoun e patetlah minhmai kahawi ka hmawt hoeh toe tie hah ka panue, hateiteh Apa Cathut teh kai koe ao toe.
6 And you too know that with all my might I have served your father.
Ka thayung abuemlahoi na pa e thaw ka tawk e hah na panue awh.
7 But your father deceived me, and changed my wages for the ten lambs, yet God gave him not [power] to hurt me.
Hot nahlangva na pa ni na dum teh, ka hmu hane aphu hah vai hra touh na dum toe. Hatei patawnae na poe hane teh Cathut ni na pasoung hoeh.
8 If he should say thus, The speckled shall be your reward, then all the cattle would bear speckled; and if he should say, The white shall be your reward, then would all the cattle bear white.
Tarakcak e pueng hah aphu lah ao han telah a dei teh saring pueng ni tarakcak lah koung a khe. Taracak hoi kâkalawt lah a khe e pueng aphu lah ao han ati ei nakunghai, saring pueng ni tarakcak lah koung a khe.
9 So God has taken away all the cattle of your father, and given them to me.
Hottelah, Cathut ni na pa e saringhu hah a la pouh teh kai na poe e doeh.
10 And it came to pass when the cattle conceived and were with young, that I saw with mine eyes in sleep, and behold the he-goats and the rams leaping on the sheep and the she-goats, speckled and variegated and spotted with ash-coloured spots.
Hahoi hettelah ao. Saring âvâ yawng hane a kamtawng nah ka mang lah ka khet teh, khenhaw! âvâ ka cawt e a tan hah a em lah kaawm e hoi a em tarakcak e hoi, a em dakdak kaawm e naw hah ka hmu.
11 And the angel of God said to me in a dream, Jacob; and I said, What is it?
Ka mang lah Cathut e kalvantami ni, Jakop ati teh kai ni, hi vah ka i doeh, ka ti pouh.
12 And he said, Look up with your eyes, and behold the he-goats and the rams leaping on the sheep and the she-goats, speckled and variegated and spotted with ash-coloured spots; for I have seen all things that Laban does to you.
Ahni ni, moung na teh, khenhaw! a tan ni âvâ a yawng e pueng hah a em kaawm hoi a em tarakcak e hoi a em dakdak kaawm naw seng doeh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, Laban ni nang dawk a sak e naw pueng hah be ka panue.
13 I am God that appeared to you in the place of God where you anointed a pillar to me, and vowed to me there a vow; now then arise and depart out of this land, depart into the land of your nativity, and I will be with you.
Kai teh talung na ungnae dawk satui na awinae, kai koe lawkkam na saknae Bethel, hote Bethel Cathut lah ka o. Atu thaw nateh hete ram heh tâcawt takhai, na khenae ram koe lah ban leih, telah ati.
14 And Rachel and Lea answered and said to him, Have we yet a part or inheritance in the house of our father?
Rachel hoi Leah ni a pathung roi teh, apa im e maimouh hanelah ham hane hoi râw ao rah maw.
15 Are we not considered strangers by him? for he has sold us, and quite devoured our money.
Ahni ni imyin patetlah na pouk awh toung nahoehmaw. Bangkongtetpawiteh, na yo awh teh maimae tangka hai be a ca awh toe.
16 All the wealth and the glory which God has taken from our father, it shall be our's and our children's; now then do whatever God has said to you.
Bangkongtetpawiteh, Cathut ni maimae na pa koehoi a la e naw pueng teh, maimae canaw hane doeh. Hottelah Cathut ni nang koe a dei e pueng teh sak yawkaw, telah atipouh.
17 And Jacob arose and took his wives and his children up on the camels;
Jakop hah a thaw teh, a capanaw hoi a yu roi hah kalauk dawk a kâcui sak.
18 and he took away all his possessions and all his store, which he had gotten in Mesopotamia, and all that belonged to him, to depart to Isaac his father in the land of Chanaan.
Kanaan ram a na pa Isak koe cei hanelah a saringnaw hoi hnopai a pâtung e a hmu e saringnaw pueng, Paddanaram ram e a tawn e naw pueng be a sin awh.
19 And Laban went to shear his sheep; and Rachel stole her father's images.
Laban teh amae tu muen ngaw hanelah a cei teh Rachel ni a cei teh a na pa e Terah meikaphawk hah yout a la pouh.
20 And Jacob hid [the matter from] Laban the Syrian, so as not to tell him that he ran away.
Jakop teh Siria tami Laban panuek laipalah, arulahoi a cei. A cei hane hah dei pouh hoeh.
21 And he departed himself and all that belonged to him, and passed over the river, and went into the mountain Galaad.
Hottelah a tawn e naw pueng hoi a yawng. A thaw teh palang a raka teh Gilead mon lah pâtam lahoi a cei.
22 But it was told Laban the Syrian on the third day, that Jacob was fled.
Jakop a yawng tie hah apâthum hnin vah Laban koe a dei pouh awh.
23 And having taken his brethren with him, he pursued after him seven days' journey, and overtook him on Mount Galaad.
A hmaunawnghanaw a hrawi teh, hnin sari touh thung a pâlei teh Gilead mon dawk rek a pha awh.
24 And God came to Laban the Syrian in sleep by night, and said to him, Take heed to yourself that you speak not at any time to Jacob evil things.
Hateiteh, Siria tami Laban koe karum a mang lahoi Cathut a tho teh, Jakop koe a thoe hoi hawi banghai na dei hoeh nahanelah kâhruetcuet, telah atipouh.
25 And Laban overtook Jacob; and Jacob pitched his tent in the mountain; and Laban stationed his brothers in the mount Galaad.
Hottelah Laban ni Jakop hah rek a pha. Jakop ni rim hah mon dawk a yap teh, Laban hoi a hmaunawnghanaw ni Gilead mon dawk ahnimae rim hah a yap awh van.
26 And Laban said to Jacob, What have you done? therefore did you run away secretly, and pillage me, and lead away my daughters as captives taken with the sword?
Laban ni Jakop koe, na sak e hno heh bangmaw. Ka thai laipalah dung na cei awh teh, tarantuknae koe man e patetlah ka canunaw na yawngkhai.
27 Whereas if you had told me, I would have sent you away with mirth, and with songs, and timbrels, and harp.
Bang kecu dawk maw, arulahoi tapueng hoi ratoung hoi na thak thai nahanlah dei laipalah na o.
28 And I was not counted worthy to embrace my children and my daughters; now then you have wrought foolishly.
Ka capanaw hoi ka canunaw ka paco han na pasoung hoeh. Hottelae pathunae hno hah na sak.
29 And now my hand has power to hurt you; but the God of your father spoke to me yesterday, saying, Take heed to yourself that you speak not evil words to Jacob.
Kai ni koung na raphoe thai han ei teh, na pa Cathut ni karum ka mang lah, Jakop koe a thoe hoi hawi banghai na dei hoeh nahanelah kâhruetcuet, telah na dei pouh.
30 Now then go on your way, for you have earnestly desired to depart to the house of your father; therefore have you stolen my gods?
Na pa im na rabui poung kecu dawkvah, na ka cet e katang lah na o. Hatei bang kecu dawk maw ka cathutnaw na paru pouh awh, telah ati.
31 And Jacob answered and said to Laban, Because I was afraid; for I said, Lest at any time you should take away your daughters from me, and all my possessions.
Jakop ni a pathung teh Laban koe, na canunaw heh thama lah na lawm vai tie hah ka puen dawk doeh.
32 And Jacob said, With whoever you shall find your gods, he shall not live in the presence of our brethren; take notice of what I have of your property, and take it; and he observed nothing with him, but Jacob knew not that his wife Rachel had stolen them.
Namae cathut ka lat e teh hring sak hanh. Ka hmaunawnghanaw mithmu vah na cathut kai koe kaawm e teh kahawicalah khen nateh, lat yawkaw, telah ati. Bangkongtetpawiteh, Rachel ni a paru e hah Jakop ni la panuek hoeh.
33 And Laban went in and searched in the house of Lea, and found [them] not; and he went out of the house of Lea, and searched in the house of Jacob, and in the house of the two maidservants, and found them not; and he went also into the house of Rachel.
Laban teh Jakop e rim hoi Leah e rim hoi a sannu kahni touh roi e rim koe a tawng teh, hmawt hoeh. Hahoi, Leah e rim hoi a tâco teh Rachel e rim dawk a kâen.
34 And Rachel took the idols, and cast them amongst the camel's packs, and sat upon them.
Rachel ni meikaphawk hah a la teh kalauk ni phunae hno thung vah a hro. Laban ni rim thung naw pueng hah pheng a pâphue eiteh hmawt hoeh.
35 And she said to her father, Be not indignant, Sir; I can’t rise up before you, for it is with me according to the manner of women. Laban searched in all the house, and found not the images.
Rachel ni a na pa koe, na hmalah ka thaw ngai tho hoeh. Ka bawipa, na lungkhuek sak hanh, ka kampheng lahun lah ao dawk doeh, telah ati. Pheng a pâphue eiteh meikaphawk hah hmawt thai awh hoeh.
36 And Jacob was angry, and strove with Laban; and Jacob answered and said to Laban, What is my injustice, and what my sin, that you have pursued after me,
Jakop teh a lungkhuek teh, Laban hah a yue. Jakop ni Laban koe, bang e phung maw ka ek, bangmaw ka yonnae ao teh, na lungkhuek laihoi na pâlei.
37 and that you have searched all the furniture of my house? what have you found of all the furniture of your house? set it here between your relations and my relations, and let them decide between us two.
Ka hnopainaw pueng be na pâphue teh, namae hnopai bangmaw na hmu. Maimouh roi teh lawkkâceng thai nahan ka hmaunawnghanaw hoi nange hmaunawnghanaw e hmalah tat.
38 These twenty years have I been with you; your sheep, and your she-goats have not failed in bearing; I devoured not the rams of your cattle.
Kum 20 totouh nang koe ka o teh, na tu hoi na hmaenaw ni ca khe laipalah awm boihoeh. Na tuhu thung e a tan hai ka cat boihoeh.
39 That which was taken of beasts I brought not to you; I made good of myself the thefts of the day, and the thefts of the night.
Moimatheng ni a kei e hai nang koe ka phatkhai boihoeh. Kai ni paleipalang kahmat e yueng lah ouk ka rawng. Kanîthun lah a paru e naw karum lah a paru e naw hai na patho sak.
40 I was parched with heat by day, and [chilled] with frost by night, and my sleep departed from my eyes.
Hettelah ouk ka o. Kanîthun khumbei um hai, karum a pâding nahai, rucat um hai, ka tawk. Ihmu boum lah ka ip boihoeh.
41 These twenty years have I been in your house; I served you fourteen years for your two daughters, and six years amongst your sheep, and you did falsely rate my wages for ten lambs.
Hottelah kum 20 touh thung na im vah ka o teh, na canu roi ka hni touh kutphu e dawk kum 14, na thaw ka tawk. Na saring kutphu dawk kum 6 ka tawk teh, kutphu hah vai hra totouh bout na dum.
42 Unless I had the God of my father Abraam, and the fear of Isaac, now you would have sent me away empty; God saw my humiliation, and the labour of my hands, and rebuked you yesterday.
Apa Cathut, Abraham Cathut, Isak Cathut ni a taki e hah kai koe awm hoehpawiteh, atu patenghai tak caici lah ban sak han na noe. Cathut ni karucatnae hoi ka patangnae hah a panue, paduem vah na yue toe, telah ati.
43 And Laban answered and said to Jacob, The daughters are my daughters, and the sons my sons, and the cattle are my cattle, and all things which you see are mine, and [the property] of my daughters; what shall I do to them today, or their children which they bore?
Laban ni a pathung teh, Jakop koe, napuinaw heh kaie canunaw doeh. Tongpanaw hai kaie capanaw doeh. Saringnaw hai kaie saringnaw doeh. Na tawn e naw pueng heh kaie seng doeh. Hateiteh, sahnin vah hete ka canunaw hoi a canaw e a lathueng vah bangmaw ka sak thai han.
44 Now then come, let me make a covenant, both I and you, and it shall be for a witness between me and you; and he said to him, Behold, there is no one with us; behold, God is witness between me and you.
Hatdawkvah, nang hoi kai lawkkamnae sak roi sei. Hothateh, nang hoi kai rahak dawk kapanuekkhaikung lah awm seh, telah ati.
45 And Jacob having taken a stone, set it up for a pillar.
Hottelah, Jakop ni talung a la teh talung hah a ung.
46 And Jacob said to his brethren, Gather stones; and they gathered stones and made a heap, and ate there upon the heap; and Laban said to him, This heap witnesses between me and you today.
Telah Jakop ni a hmaunawnghanaw koevah, talung pung awh haw, telah ati. Talung hah a la awh teh, a pung awh. Hot van vah bu a ca awh.
47 And Laban called it, the Heap of Testimony; and Jacob called it, the Witness Heap.
Laban ni talung pung e hah Jegarsahdutha telah a phung. Hateiteh Jakop ni Galeed telah ati.
48 And Laban said to Jacob, Behold this heap, and the pillar, which I have set between me and you; this heap witnesses, and this pillar witnesses; therefore its name was called, the Heap witnesses.
Laban ni hete pung e talung heh sahnin vah, kai hoi nang rahak vah, lawk kapanuekkhaikung lah ao telah ati. Hatdawkvah a min lah Galeed telah ati e lah ao.
49 And the vision of which he said—Let God look to it between me and you, because we are about to depart from each other, —
Mizpah telah hai ati awh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, Laban ni kamphei awh hnukkhu hoi BAWIPA ni maimanaw na ring lawiseh.
50 If you shall humble my daughters, if you should take wives in addition to my daughters, see, there is no one with us looking on. God [is] witness between me and you.
Ka canunaw heh roedeng na poe teh, yu alouke na tawn pawiteh, apihai maimouh koe awm hoeh eiteh, khenhaw! Cathut teh nang hoi kai rahak vah, kapanuekkhaikung lah ao, telah ati.
51 And Laban said to Jacob, Behold, this heap, and this pillar are a witness.
Laban ni Jakop koe hete talung ung e hoi hete talung pung e heh kai hoi nang rahak vah ka ta e lah ao.
52 For if I should not cross over to you, neither should you cross over to me, for mischief beyond this heap and this pillar.
Patawnae poe hanelah kai ni hete talung pung e hoi talung ung e hloilah ka tho mahoeh, tie hoi nang ni hai hete talung pung e hoi talung ung e hloilah tapuet hoi na tho mahoeh, telah hete talung pung e hah kapanuekkhaikung lah awm nateh, hete talung ung e hai kapanuekkhaikung lah awm naseh.
53 The God of Abraam and the God of Nachor judge between us; and Jacob swore by the Fear of his father Isaac.
Abraham Cathut, Nahor Cathut, a na pa Cathut ni maimae rahak lawkceng naseh, telah ati. Hahoi Jakop ni a na pa Isak ni taki e noe lahoi thoe a bo.
54 And he offered a sacrifice in the mountain, and called his brethren, and they ate and drank, and slept in the mountain.
Jakop ni mon dawkvah, thuengnae a sak teh a hmaunawnghanaw hah vaiyei ca hanelah a kaw teh, vaiyei hah a ca awh. Mon dawkvah a roe awh.
55 And Laban rose up in the morning, and kissed his sons and his daughters, and blessed them; and Laban having turned back, departed to his place.
Laban teh amom vah a thaw teh, a capanaw hoi a canunaw hah a paco teh yawhawi a poe hnukkhu Laban teh a ma onae koe lah a ban.
