Genesis 28
1 And so Isaac called for Jacob, and he blessed him, and he instructed him, saying: “Do not be willing to accept a mate from the family of Canaan.
Hatdawkvah, Isak ni Jakop hah a kaw teh yawhawinae a poe, tawngtang lawk a thui e teh, Kanaan canunaw thung e yu na lat mahoeh.
2 But go, and journey to Mesopotamia of Syria, to the house of Bethuel, your mother’s father, and there accept for yourself a wife from the daughters of Laban, your maternal uncle.
Thaw nateh Paddanaram ram dawk na manu e a na pa Bethuel im vah cet. Haw e na manu e a thangroi Laban canunaw thung dawk hoi na yu hah lat.
3 And may God almighty bless you, and may he cause you to increase and also to multiply, so that you may be influential among the people.
Bangpueng ka sak thai e Cathut ni yawhawi na poe naseh, miphun moi kapap lah na pung thai nahanlah ca catoun moi na tawn sak teh na pungdaw sak naseh.
4 And may he give the blessings of Abraham to you, and to your offspring after you, so that you may possess the land of your sojourning, which he promised to your grandfather.”
Imyin lah onae ram, Cathut ni Abraham koe a poe e heh na coe nahanlah Abraham yawhawinae teh na coe sak awh naseh, nang hoi na canaw hoi telah lawk a thui.
5 And when Isaac had dismissed him, setting out, he went to Mesopotamia of Syria, to Laban, the son of Bethuel, the Syrian, the brother to Rebekah, his mother.
Hatdawkvah, Isak ni Jakop teh yout a ceisak teh, Paddanaram ram e Jakop hoi Esaw e manu Rebekah e a thangroi Syria tami Bethuel capa Laban koevah a cei.
6 But Esau, seeing that his father had blessed Jacob and had sent him into Mesopotamia of Syria, to take a wife from there, and that, after the blessing, he had instructed him, saying: ‘You shall not accept a wife from the daughters of Canaan,’
Isak ni Jakop hah yawhawi a poe teh a yu la hanlah Paddanaram ram lah a patoun. Yawhawi a poe nah Kanaan ram e tanglanaw yu lah na lat mahoeh telah lawk a thui.
7 and that Jacob, obeying his parents, had gone into Syria,
Jakop ni a manu hoi a na pa e lawk hah a ngai teh, Paddanaram ram dawk a cei.
8 having evidence also that his father did not look with favor upon the daughters of Canaan,
Kanaan ram e tangla naw ni a na pa Isak lungyouk sak hoeh toe tie a hmu navah,
9 he went to Ishmael, and he took as a wife, beside those he had before, Mahalath, the daughter of Ishmael, Abraham’s son, the sister of Nebaioth.
Esaw ni Ishmael koevah a cei teh a tawn tangcoung a yunaw hloilah, Abraham capa Ishmael e canu Mahalath Nebaioth tawncanu hah a yu lah a la.
10 Meanwhile Jacob, having departed from Beersheba, continued on to Haran.
Jakop teh Beersheba hoi a kamthaw teh Haran lah a cei.
11 And when he had arrived at a certain place, where he would rest after the setting of the sun, he took some of the stones that lay there, and placing them under his head, he slept in the same place.
Hmuen buet touh koe a pha teh kanîloum toung dawkvah a roe. Talung buet touh hah a la teh lahoung lah a lahoung teh i hanlah a yan.
12 And he saw in his sleep: a ladder standing upon the earth, with its top touching heaven, also, the Angels of God ascending and descending by it,
Hahoi, mang a mang teh talai van khalai a kâdo teh a donghmo ni kalvan a pha. Hote khalai dawk Cathut e kalvantaminaw a kumluen awh.
13 and the Lord, leaning upon the ladder, saying to him: “I am the Lord, the God of Abraham your father, and the God of Isaac. The land, in which you sleep, I will give to you and to your offspring.
A lathueng vah, BAWIPA a kangdue teh, Kai teh BAWIPA, na min Abraham e Cathut hoi Isak e Cathut lah ka o, na inae ram hah nang hoi na ca catounnaw ka poe han;
14 And your offspring will be like the dust of the earth. You will spread abroad to the West, and to the East, and to the North, and to the Meridian. And in you and in your offspring, all the tribes of the earth shall be blessed.
Na ca catounnaw teh talai e vaiphu yit touh a pha awh han. Kanîtho, kanîloum, atunglah, akalah na pungdaw awh han. Nang pawlawk dawk hoi miphunnaw pueng ni yawhawinae a hmu awh han.
15 And I will be your guardian wherever you will journey, and I will bring you back into this land. Neither will I dismiss you, until I have accomplished all that I have said.”
Khenhaw! nang koevah ka o. Na ceinae pueng koe na kountouk vaiteh, hete ram dawk bout na bankhai awh han. Nang koe ka dei e ka sak hoehnahlan pueng teh na cettakhai mahoeh telah ati.
16 And when Jacob had awakened from sleep, he said, “Truly, the Lord is in this place, and I did not know it.”
Jakop ni a kâhlaw teh, hete hmuen koe BAWIPA teh ao roeroe ka panuek laipalah ka o, telah ati.
17 And being terrified, he said: “How terrible this place is! This is nothing other than the house of God and the gateway of heaven.”
Hatdawkvah, a taki teh, het hmuen heh takikatho e lah ao! hete heh hmuen alouke nahoeh, Cathut e im, kalvan longkha lah ao, telah ati. Jakop ni amom a thaw teh a lahoung e talung hah a lah teh talung lah a ung teh a van vah satui hah a awi.
18 Therefore, Jacob, arising in the morning, took the stone which he had placed under his head, and he set it up as monument, pouring oil over it.
Jakop ni amom a thaw teh a lahoung e talung hah a lah teh lungkhoung a ung teh, avan vah satui hah a awi.
19 And he called the name of the city, ‘Bethel,’ which before was called Luz.
Hote hmuen hah Bethel telah a phung. Hote kho teh hmaloe vah Luz lah ao.
20 And then he made a vow, saying: “If God will be with me, and will guard me along the way by which I walk, and will give me bread to eat and clothing to wear,
Jakop ni, apa im dawk lungmawngcalah ka ban thai nahan, kai koe Cathut hah ao teh ka ceinae lam hah a ring teh,
21 and if I will return prosperously to my father’s house, then the Lord will be my God,
ca han e vaiyei hoi kâkhu hane hni na poe boipawiteh, BAWIPA teh ka Cathut lah ao han.
22 and this stone, which I have set up as a monument, will be called ‘the House of God.’ And from all the things that you will give to me, I will offer tithes to you.”
Hete talung ka ung e haiyah Cathut e im lah ao han, hahoi na poe hane naw pueng thung dawk hoi hra touh dawk buet touh teh na poe roeroe han, telah lawkkamnae hah a sak.
