Genesis 29
1 Then Jacob went on his journey, and came to the land of the children of the east.
Jakop ni pou a cei teh Kanîtholae taminaw e ram dawk a pha.
2 And he looked, and behold a well in the field, and, lo, three flocks of sheep lying there by it. — For out of that well they watered the flocks. And the stone upon the well's mouth was great.
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 thither were all the flocks gathered; and they rolled the stone from the well's mouth, and watered the sheep, and put the stone back upon the well's mouth in its place. —
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 unto them: 'My brethren, whence are ye?' And they said: 'Of Haran are we.'
Jakop ni ahnimouh koevah, ka hmaunawnghanaw api kho maw, telah a pacei. Ahnimouh ni, Haran taminaw doeh telah atipouh awh.
5 And he said unto them: 'Know ye Laban the son of Nahor?' And they said: 'We 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 unto them: 'Is it well with him?' And they said: 'It is well; and, behold, Rachel his daughter cometh 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 he said: 'Lo, it is yet high day, neither is it time that the cattle should be gathered together; water ye the sheep, and go 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 cannot, until all the flocks be gathered together, and they roll the stone from the well's mouth; then we water the sheep.'
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 with them, Rachel came with her father's sheep; for she tended them.
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 went near, and rolled the stone from the well's mouth, and watered the flock 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 lifted up his voice, and wept.
Hahoi, Jakop ni Rachel hah a paco teh ngawngngawng a ka.
12 And Jacob told Rachel that he was her father's brother, and that he was Rebekah's son; and she ran and told her father.
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 tidings of Jacob his sister's son, that he ran to meet him, and embraced him, and kissed him, and brought him to his house. And he told Laban all these things.
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: 'Surely thou art my bone and my flesh.' And he abode with him the space of a month.
Laban ni ahni koe, nang teh ka misa katang doeh, telah atipouh teh ahni koevah thapa yung touh ao.
15 And Laban said unto Jacob: 'Because thou art my brother, shouldest thou therefore serve me for nought? tell me, what shall thy wages 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 Leah, and the name of the younger was Rachel.
Laban ni canu kahni touh a tawn teh a camin teh Leah a phung, a cahnoung teh Rachel a phung.
17 And Leah's eyes were weak; but Rachel was of beautiful form and fair to look upon.
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 he said: 'I will serve thee seven years for Rachel thy younger daughter.'
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: 'It is better that I give her to thee, than that I should give her to another man; abide 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 seven years for Rachel; and they seemed unto him but a few days, for the love he had to 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 unto Laban: 'Give me my wife, for my days are filled, that I may go in unto 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 feast.
Laban ni khoca pueng a pâkhueng teh bu canae pawi a sak.
23 And it came to pass in the evening, that he took Leah his daughter, and brought her to him; and he went in unto her.
Hahoi, kho a hmo nah a canu Leah a hrawi teh Jakop koevah a thak pouh teh a ikhai.
24 And Laban gave Zilpah his handmaid unto his daughter Leah for a handmaid.
Laban ni a sannu Zilpah hah a canu Leah koevah san hanlah a poe.
25 And it came to pass in the morning that, behold, it was Leah; and he said to Laban: 'What is this thou hast done unto me? did not I serve with thee for Rachel? wherefore then hast thou beguiled 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 said: 'It is not so done in our place, to give the younger before the first-born.
Laban ni, Ka ram dawk a hmau hoehnahlan a nawngha ceisak phung roeroe nahoeh.
27 Fulfil the week of this one, and we will give thee the other also for the service which thou shalt serve 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 week; and he gave him Rachel his daughter 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 Rachel his daughter Bilhah his handmaid to be her handmaid.
Hahoi, Laban ni a sannu Bilhah hah a canu Rachel koevah a san hanlah a poe.
30 And he went in also unto Rachel, and he loved Rachel more than Leah, and served with him yet 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 the LORD saw that Leah was hated, and 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 Leah conceived, and bore a son, and she called his name Reuben; for she said: 'Because the LORD hath looked upon my affliction; for now 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 son; and said: 'Because the LORD hath heard that I am hated, He hath therefore given me this son 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 again, and bore a son; and said: 'Now this time will my husband be joined unto me, because I have borne him three sons.' Therefore was his name called 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 she conceived again, and bore a son; and she said: 'This time will I praise the LORD.' Therefore she called his name Judah; and she left off 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.
