Genesis 31
1 And he heard the words of Laban's sons, saying, Jacob has taken away all that was our father's, and of what was our father's he has acquired all this glory.
Laban ih caanawk mah, Pa ih hmuennawk boih Jakob mah lak king pongah, vaihi anih loe hmuenmaenawk hoi angraeng boeh, tiah thuih ih lok to Jakob mah thaih.
2 And Jacob saw the countenance of Laban, and behold, it was not toward him as previously.
Jakob mah Laban to khet naah, canghni ih baktiah mikhmai pan ai boeh, tito panoek.
3 And Jehovah said to Jacob, Return into the land of thy fathers, and to thy kindred; and I will be with thee.
Angraeng mah Jakob khaeah, Nam pa ohhaih prae hoi nangmah ih acaeng kaminawk khaeah amlaem ah; kai mah kang oh thuih han hmang, tiah a naa.
4 And Jacob sent and called Rachel and Leah to the fields to his flock,
To pongah Jakob mah tuutoephaih ahmuen ah a zu Rachel hoi Leah to hoih hanah kami to patoeh.
5 and said to them, I see your father's countenance, that it is not toward me as previously; but the God of my father has been with me.
Nihnik khaeah, Nam pa ih mikhmai ka khet naah, canghni ih baktiah om ai boeh, tiah ka panoek; toe kam pa ih Sithaw mah ang oh thuih poe.
6 And you know that with all my power I have served your father.
Ka thacakhaih boih hoiah nam pa ih tok ka sak, tito nang panoek hoi.
7 And your father has mocked me, and has changed my wages ten times; but God suffered him not to hurt me.
Toe nam pa mah kai ang ling, ka toksakhaih atho doeh vai hato ang ling; toe kai pacaekthlaek hanah Sithaw mah pakaa pae.
8 If he said thus; The speckled shall be thy hire, then all the flocks bore speckled; and if he said thus: The ringstraked shall be thy hire, then all the flocks bore ringstraked.
Anih mah, aem kaom tuunawk loe na toksakhaih atho ah om nasoe, tiah a thuih, to naah tuunawk loe aem oh o boih; rong kangdaek tuunawk loe ka toksakhaih atho ah om nasoe, tiah a thuih, to naah doeh tuunawk loe rong kangdaek ah tapen boih.
9 And God has taken away the cattle of your father, and given [them] to me.
To pongah Sithaw mah nam pa ih tuunawk to lak moe, kai han ang paek boeh.
10 And it came to pass at the time of the ardour of the flocks, that I lifted up mine eyes, and saw in a dream, and behold, the rams that leaped upon the flocks were ringstraked, speckled, and spotted.
Tuunawk apa cuukhaih tue phak moe, ka khet naah, tuu taenawk loe aem kaom tuu amnonawk khaeah ni apa cuuk o, tiah amang ah ka hnuk.
11 And the Angel of God said to me in a dream, Jacob! And I said, Here am I.
Sithaw ih van kami mah amang ah kai khaeah, Jakob, tiah ang kawk. Kai mah, Haeah ka oh, tiah ka naa.
12 And he said, Lift up now thine eyes, and see: all the rams that leap upon the flock are ringstraked, speckled, and spotted; for I have seen all that Laban does to thee.
To naah anih mah, Danh tahang ah, Tuu taenawk loe aem kaom, rong kangdaek tuu amnonawk khae khue ah ni apa cuuk o; Laban mah na nuiah sak ih hmuennawk to ka hnuk boih.
13 I am the God of Bethel, where thou anointedst the pillar, where thou vowedst a vow to me. Now arise, depart out of this land, and return to the land of thy kindred.
Kai loe thlung na thling moe, situi na bawh pacoengah, kai khaeah lokkamhaih na sak ih, Bethel hmuen ih Sithaw ah ka oh; vaihi angthawk ah, hae prae hae caehtaak ah loe, na caeng kaminawk ohhaih prae ah amlaem ah, tiah ang thuih, tiah a naa.
14 And Rachel and Leah answered and said to him, Is there yet any portion or inheritance for us in our father's house?
To naah Rachel hoi Leah mah anih khaeah, Kam pa im ah kaihnik mah toep han koi qawk hoi taham timaw ka tawn hoi?
15 Are we not reckoned of him strangers? for he has sold us, and has even constantly devoured our money.
Kaihnik hae prae kalah kami ah a poek, kaihnik hae zawh khue ai ah, kaihnik han paek tangcae hmuen mataeng doeh ang patoh pae king na ai maw?
16 For all the wealth that God has taken from our father is ours and our children's; and now whatever God has said to thee do.
Pa khae hoi Sithaw mah lak ih hmuennawk boih loe, aicae hoi aimacae caanawk ih hmuen ah ni oh boeh; to pongah vaihi Sithaw mah ang thuih ih baktih toengah sah ah, tiah a naa hoi.
17 And Jacob rose up, and set his sons and his wives upon camels,
To pacoengah Jakob loe angthawk moe, a caanawk hoi a zu hnik to kaengkuu hrang nuiah angthuengsak.
18 and carried away all his cattle, and all his property that he had acquired — the cattle of his possessions that he had acquired in Padan-Aram, to go to Isaac his father, into the land of Canaan.
Padan Aram ah oh naah, a hak ih hmuennawk boih, pacah ih moinawk to a hoih boih moe, ampa Issak ohhaih Kanaan prae ah caeh o.
19 And Laban had gone to shear his sheep. And Rachel stole the teraphim that [belonged] to her father.
Laban loe angmah ih tuu amui aah hanah caeh, to naah Rachel mah sakcop ih ampa imthung ih sithaw krangnawk to paquk pae ving.
20 And Jacob deceived Laban the Syrian, in that he did not tell him that he fled.
Jakob mah ka cawnh ving han boeh, tiah thui pae ai, Syria kami Laban to tamquta hoiah a caehtaak.
21 And he fled with all that he had; and he rose up and passed over the river, and set his face [toward] mount Gilead.
To pongah anih loe a tawnh ih hmuennawk boih hoiah a cawnh; angthawk moe, vapui angkat o pacoengah, Gilead mae bangah a caeh o.
22 And it was told Laban on the third day that Jacob had fled.
Jakob cawnh ving boeh, tito Laban mah ni thumto naah thaih.
23 And he took his brethren with him, and pursued after him seven days' journey, and overtook him on mount Gilead.
Angmah ih nawkamyanawk to kawk moe, ni sarihto thung anih to patom o, anih to Gilead maeah kae o.
24 And God came to Laban the Syrian in a dream by night, and said to him, Take care thou speak not to Jacob either good or bad.
Syria kami Laban ih amang ah Sithaw to amtueng pae; Jakob khaeah kasae doeh kahoih doeh, lokthuih han ai ah acoe ah, tiah a naa.
25 And Laban came up with Jacob; and Jacob had pitched his tent on the mountain; Laban also with his brethren pitched on mount Gilead.
Laban mah nihcae to kae naah, Jakob loe Gilead mae ah kahni im a sak boeh; Laban hoi angmah ih nawkamyanawk doeh Gilead mae ah im to sak o.
26 And Laban said to Jacob, What hast thou done, that thou hast deceived me, and hast carried away my daughters as captives of war?
Laban mah Jakob khaeah, Tipongah hae tiah na oh loe? Kai hae nang ling moe, ka canu hnik doeh misa mah sumsen hoi pahuem moe, naeh ih kami baktiah, na caeh haih ving loe?
27 Why didst thou flee away covertly, and steal away from me, and didst not tell me, that I might have conducted thee with mirth and with songs, with tambour and with harp;
Tipongah kai nang ling moe, tamquta hoi na cawnh ving loe? Nang thuih soe nahaeloe, anghoehaih laa to sak moe, cingceng bohhaih, katoeng kruekhaih hoiah kang prawt han bae, tikhoe nang thui ai loe? tiah a naa.
28 and hast not suffered me to kiss my sons and my daughters? Now thou hast acted foolishly.
Tipongah ka caanawk hoi ka canunawk doeh nang moksak ai loe? Amthuhaih hoiah ni hae hmuen hae na sak.
29 It would be in the power of my hand to do you hurt; but the God of your father spoke to me last night, saying, Take care that thou speak not to Jacob either good or bad.
Nang han nganbawh kana kang paek thaih; toe cangduem aqum ah nam pa ih Sithaw mah kai khaeah, Kahoih doeh kasae doeh, Jakob khae lokthuih han ai ah acoe ah, tiah ang thuih pongah ni.
30 And now that thou must needs be gone, because thou greatly longedst after thy father's house, why hast thou stolen my gods?
Vaihi loe nam pa im to na poek boeh pongah, na caeh han angaih boeh; tikhoe kai ih sithawnawk to na paquk loe? tiah a naa.
31 And Jacob answered and said to Laban, I was afraid; for I said, Lest thou shouldest take by force thy daughters from me.
Jakob mah Laban khaeah, Na canu hnik hae tha hoi nang lomh ving tih, tiah ka poek moe, ka zit pong ni, tiah a naa.
32 With whomsoever thou findest thy gods, he shall not live. Before our brethren discern what is thine with me, and take [it] to thee. But Jacob did not know that Rachel had stolen them.
Toe nang ih sithaw paqu kami na hnuk nahaeloe, anih to hing hmah nasoe; nang ih hmuen ka lak o moeng nahaeloe, aicae nawkamyanawk hmaa roe ah la ah, tiah a naa. Toe Rachel mah sakcop ih sithawnawk paquk pae ving, tito Jakob mah panoek ai.
33 And Laban went into Jacob's tent, and into Leah's tent, and into the two handmaids' tents, and found nothing; and he went out of Leah's tent, and entered into Rachel's tent.
To pongah Laban loe Jakob ih kahni im, Leah ih kahni im hoi anih ih tamna nongpata hnik ih kahni imthung ah akunh, toe tidoeh hnu ai; Leah ih kahni imthung hoi tacawt pacoengah, Rachel ih kahni imthung ah akun let.
34 Now Rachel had taken the teraphim and put them under the camel's saddle; and she sat upon them. And Laban explored all the tent, but found nothing.
Rachel mah ampa imthung ih sithawnawk to lak moe, kaengkuu khrang khukhaih kahni thungah pacaeng, to pacoengah a nuiah anghnut thuih khoep. Laban loe kahni imthung ih hmuennawk to pakrong boih, toe tidoeh hnu ai.
35 And she said to her father, Let it not be an occasion of anger in the eyes of my lord that I cannot rise up before thee, for it is with me after the manner of women. And he searched carefully, but did not find the teraphim.
Rachel mah ampa khaeah, Ka angraeng, na hmaa ah kangdoe thai ai pongah palungphuisak hmah; athii ka hnuk pongah ni, tiah a naa. Anih loe sakcop ih krangnawk to pakrong, toe hnu ai.
36 And Jacob was angry, and he disputed with Laban. And Jacob answered and said to Laban, What is my fault, what my sin, that thou hast so hotly pursued after me?
To naah Jakob loe palungphui moe, Laban to zoeh; tih sakpazaehaih maw ka tawnh? Tih zaehaih maw ka sak moe, nang patom? tiah a naa.
37 Whereas thou hast explored all my baggage, what hast thou found of all thy household stuff? Set [it] here before my brethren and thy brethren, and let them decide between us both.
Kai ih hmuennawk to na pakrong boih boeh; na imthung ih hmuen timaw na hnuk? Nam nawk amyanawk hoi kai ih kaminawk hmaa ah suem ah, mi maw katoeng, tito nihcae mah aihnik salakah lokcaek nasoe.
38 These twenty years have I been with thee: thy ewes and thy she-goats have not cast their young, and the rams of thy flock I have not eaten.
Nang khaeah saning pumphaeto ka oh; nang ih tuunawk hoi maehnawk a caa zun o vai ai; nang ih tuu tae maeto mataeng doeh ka caa vai ai.
39 What was torn I have not brought to thee; I had to bear the loss of it: of my hand hast thou required it, [whether] stolen by day or stolen by night.
Nang ih tuunawk to moisannawk mah kaek vai ai; kanghmaa tuu to kai mah ka rong; khoving ah maw, khodai ah maw, tuunawk anghmat naah kai khaeah atho nang suk.
40 Thus it was with me: in the day the heat consumed me, and the frost by night; and my sleep fled from mine eyes.
To tiah kho ka sak; khodai ah ni kabae mah ang dawk moe, khoving ah kangqai mah ang koep; iih boep ai ah to tiah kho ka sak.
41 I have been these twenty years in thy house: I have served thee fourteen years for thy two daughters, and six years for thy flock; and thou hast changed my wages ten times.
To tiah na im ah saning pumphaeto thung ka oh; na canu hnik hanah saning hatlai palito thung tok kang sak pae moe, saning tarukto thung na pacah ih moinawk to kang toep pae, ka toksakhaih atho vai hato nang ling.
42 Had not the God of my father, the God of Abraham, and the fear of Isaac, been with me, it is certain thou wouldest have sent me away now empty. God has looked upon my affliction and the labour of my hands, and has judged last night.
Kai khaeah kam pa ih Sithaw, Abraham ih Sithaw, Issak mah zit ih Sithaw om ai nahaeloe, bangkrai ah ni nang patoeh tangtang tih; toe Sithaw mah patangkhanghaih hoi ka ban mah sak ih tok to ang hnuk pae pongah ni, cangduem qum ah nang to ang thuitaek, tiah a naa.
43 And Laban answered and said to Jacob, The daughters are my daughters, and the sons are my sons, and the flock is my flock, and all that thou seest is mine; but as for my daughters, what can I do this day to them, or to their sons whom they have brought forth?
Laban mah Jakob khaeah, Hae nongpata hnik loe ka canu ni; hae nawktanawk doeh ka caa ni, hae ih moinawk doeh kai ih ni; na hnuk ih hmuennawk boih doeh kai ih ni; toe vaihniah ka canu hnik hoi nihnik mah sak hoi ih caanawk doeh kawbang maw ka naa thai tih boeh?
44 And now, come, let us make a covenant, I and thou; and let it be a witness between me and thee.
To pongah vaihi angzo ah loe, nang hoi kai salakah lokmaihaih to sah si; to lokmaihaih loe nang hoi kai salakah hnukung ah om nasoe, tiah a naa.
45 And Jacob took a stone, and set it up [for] a pillar.
To pongah Jakob mah thlung to lak moe, tung ah a thling.
46 And Jacob said to his brethren, Gather stones. And they took stones, and made a heap, and ate there upon the heap.
Jakob mah angmah ih nawkamyanawk khaeah, Thlung to a laksak; nihcae mah thlung to sinh pae o moe, pakhueng o pacoengah, pakhueng ih thlung nuiah buh a caak o.
47 And Laban called it Jegar-sahadutha, and Jacob called it Galeed.
To a hmuen to Laban mah Jegar Sahadutha, tiah ahmin paek; toe Jakob mah loe Galeed, tiah ahmin sak.
48 And Laban said, This heap is a witness between me and thee this day. Therefore was the name of it called Galeed,
Laban mah, Vaihniah haeah pakhueng ih thlung loe nang hoi kai hnukung ah oh boeh, tiah a naa. To pongah to ahmuen to Galeed, tiah kawk o.
49 — and Mizpah; for he said, Let Jehovah watch between me and thee, when we shall be hidden one from another:
Aihnik loe maeto hoi maeto kangthla ah oh hoi naah doeh, Sithaw mah toep poe nasoe, tiah a thuih pongah, Mizpah, tiah doeh kawk o.
50 if thou shouldest afflict my daughters, or if thou shouldest take wives besides my daughters, — no man is with us; see, God is witness between me and thee!
Nang mah ka canu hnik hae pacaekthlaek maw, to ai boeh loe ka canu hnik nuiah zu kalah na lak tak ving cadoeh, mi mah doeh aicae hae hnu ai; toe Sithaw loe aihnik salakah hnukung ah oh, tito pahnet hmah, tiah a naa.
51 And Laban said to Jacob, Behold this heap, and behold the pillar which I have set up between me and thee:
To pacoengah Laban mah Jakob khaeah, Khenah, kai hoi nang salakah sak ih, haeah pakhueng ih thlung hoi tung ah thling ih thlung hae oh.
52 [let] this heap be witness, and the pillar a witness, that neither I pass this heap [to go] to thee, nor thou pass this heap and this pillar [to come] to me, for harm.
Haeah tapop ih thlung loe hnukung ah oh moe, haeah thling ih thlung doeh hnukung ah oh; nang nganbawh kana paek hanah, haeah tapop ih thlung hae ka poeng mak ai; nangmah doeh kai nganbawh kana paek hanah, haeah tapop ih thlung hae poeng hmah.
53 The God of Abraham, and the God of Nahor, the God of their father, judge between us! And Jacob swore by the fear of his father Isaac.
Abraham Sithaw, Nahor Sithaw, nihnik ampa ih Sithaw mah aihnik salakah lok takroek nasoe, tiah a naa. To pongah Jakob loe ampa Issak mah zit ih Sithaw ih ahmin hoiah lokmaihaih to a sak.
54 And Jacob offered a sacrifice upon the mountain, and invited his brethren to eat bread: and they ate bread, and lodged on the mountain.
Jakob loe to ih mae nuiah angbawnhaih to sak moe, buhcaak hanah angmah ih nawkamyanawk to kawk; nihcae loe buhcaak o moe, mae nuiah aqum puek oh o.
55 And Laban rose early in the morning, and kissed his sons and his daughters, and blessed them; and Laban went and returned to his place.
Laban loe khawnbang khawnthaw ah angthawk moe, a caanawk hoi a canu hnik to mok pacoengah, nihcae to tahamhoihaih a paek. To pacoengah a ohhaih ahmuen ah amlaem.
