< Genesis 31 >

1 And he heard the words of Laban's sons, saying: 'Jacob hath taken away all that was our father's; and of that which was our father's hath he gotten all this wealth.'
Jacob in Laban chapate ama chung'a alung damlou'u thu aja tan ama hon aseiyun, “Jacob in ipau thil jouse akilah tan, chule anei agou athil keu jouse khu ipauva konna akilam doh ahi,” ati tauve.
2 And Jacob beheld the countenance of Laban, and, behold, it was not toward him as beforetime.
Chujong le Jacob in Laban maiso aven ahile alung lhailou lungthim chom agel jong ahe chen tan ahi.
3 And the LORD said unto Jacob: 'Return unto the land of thy fathers, and to thy kindred; and I will be with thee.'
Hichun Pathen in Jacob chu ahoulimpin, “Nangma ki nungle kit tan, napu napa chule na sopite chenna gam'a kei man ka umpi jing ding nahi,” ati.
4 And Jacob sent and called Rachel and Leah to the field unto his flock,
Hichun Jacob in mi asol in loulam a akelngoi chin nauva Rachel le Leah aga kou sah tan ahi.
5 and said unto them: 'I see your father's countenance, that it is not toward me as beforetime; but the God of my father hath been with me.
Chuin Jacob in hitin aseiye, “Keiman ka hechen tai, napa lhon maiso kavet le lungthim chom chom aneitai, masang tobang ahi tapoi, hijong le kapu ka pate Pathen in ei umpi jingnai.
6 And ye know that with all my power I have served your father.
Nangnin jong nahe lhon nai, katha nei sun kajo chan a napa lhon ding na toh ka tonge.
7 And your father hath mocked me, and changed my wages ten times; but God suffered him not to hurt me.
Hinlah aman eijou lhep tan, kanatoh man jong somvei tobang eikhel pehtai, amavang Pathen in keima chunga vang thil phalou imacha alhunsah pon ahi.
8 If he said thus: The speckled shall be thy wages; then all the flock bore speckled; and if he said thus: The streaked shall be thy wages; then bore all the flock streaked.
Aman hitin aseiye, gancha apol ho jouse chu nangma nikho tha man hitante atile gancha ho chu apol jeng ahe hatah in ahung pung tul tul kit tan, hichun aman alunggel akhel kit in gancha availang jenga pol ho atikit leh gancha anou jouse chu adung le avai langa pol bou apeng kit tai.
9 Thus God hath taken away the cattle of your father, and given them to me.
Hitia hi Pa Pathen in napa gancha ho jouse alah a keima eipehsoh ahitai.
10 And it came to pass at the time that the flock conceived, that I lifted up mine eyes, and saw in a dream, and, behold, the he-goats which leaped upon the flock were streaked, speckled, and grizzled.
Chuin phat chomkhat jou kelngoite kijang mat lai in jan mang khat ka neiyin, ka khodah in ahile kelpi chunga kal doh kelchal ho chu apol hole adup ho aki timat piu ka mui.
11 And the angel of God said unto me in the dream: Jacob; and I said: Here am I.
Chuin hitia mang kanei petin Pakai vantil khat in eihin houpin Jacob eihin tin kenjong “Hoijo hikoma kaum e,” kati.
12 And he said: Lift up now thine eyes, and see, all the he-goats which leap upon the flock are streaked, speckled, and grizzled; for I have seen all that Laban doeth unto thee.
Chuin Pakai vantil chun dah inlang gahve temin, kelpi ho chunga kal doh kelchal ho khu apol, adup, akangpol, availanga pol jeng in amat e, Ijeh inem itile Laban in na bolsetna jouse keiman abonchan ka musoh keitai.
13 I am the God of Beth-el, where thou didst anoint a pillar, where thou didst vow a vow unto Me. Now arise, get thee out from this land, and return unto the land of thy nativity.'
Keima na Pathen Bethel, muna song khom thao nanu a na kigah na Pathen chu kahi, tun kipat doh in hiche gam hi dalhan lang na penna gam langa kile kit tan.
14 And Rachel and Leah answered and said unto him: 'Is there yet any portion or inheritance for us in our father's house?
Chuphat in Rachel le Leah in adonbut in, “Keinin imacha boina kanei lhonpoi; kapa lhon neile gou chanvou ka chan lhon ding um beh ham?”
15 Are we not accounted by him strangers? for he hath sold us, and hath also quite devoured our price.
Aman dalpam mi a eigel lhon hilou ham? Ajeh chu aman eijoh doh lhon a keini kichoh na sum jouse jong eisuh mang peh tauve.
16 For all the riches which God hath taken away from our father, that is ours and our children's. Now then, whatsoever God hath said unto thee, do.'
Chule nei le gou jouse Pathen in kapa lhona kon a alah mang peh ho jouse chu eiho le ichate ho a ahi bouve. Hijeh chun tun Pathen in najah a asei jouse chu ipi hi jongle bol jeng in,” ati lhon tai.
17 Then Jacob rose up, and set his sons and his wives upon the camels;
Hichun Jacob akipat doh in ajite le achate jouse chu Sangan chunga atoudoh sah soh kei tan;
18 and he carried away all his cattle, and all his substance which he had gathered, the cattle of his getting, which he had gathered in Paddan-aram, to go to Isaac his father unto the land of Canaan.
Chule agancha ho jouse amasang lamuva ahoiyin Padan-Ram gam'a anei agou jouse aki suhtup in Canaan gam'a apa Isaac henga che dingin aumtai.
19 Now Laban was gone to shear his sheep. And Rachel stole the teraphim that were her father's.
Chuin Laban chu kelngoi mulvou dinga akon doh phat'in Rachel in apa insung semthu pathen chu ana kiguh mang tai.
20 And Jacob outwitted Laban the Aramean, in that he told him not that he fled.
Jacob'in jong Laban Syrian mipa chu alhem lhan in, ajam doh dingu jong aseipeh pon ahi.
21 So he fled with all that he had; and he rose up, and passed over the River, and set his face toward the mountain of Gilead.
Hichun Jacob in anei agou jouse akipoh in Eupharate vadung apal galkai in Gilead thing lhang lam ahin jontai.
22 And it was told Laban on the third day that Jacob was fled.
Ahin ni thum jouvin Jacob ajam mang tai tithu chu Laban ahin seipeh un;
23 And he took his brethren with him, and pursued after him seven days' journey; and he overtook him in the mountain of Gilead.
Chuin Laban in asopi ho cheng akou khom in, Jacob chu ahin nung del tauvin ahile, nisagi lhin ni chun Gilead lhang gamsunga ahin juilut tan ahi.
24 And God came to Laban the Aramean in a dream of the night, and said unto him: 'Take heed to thyself that thou speak not to Jacob either good or bad.'
Hinlah Pathen in Laban Syrean mipa chu jan in ana kimu pin hitin aseiye, “Kichih thei jin Jacob chu imacha nalo theilou ding ahi,” ati.
25 And Laban came up with Jacob. Now Jacob had pitched his tent in the mountain; and Laban with his brethren pitched in the mountain of Gilead.
Hichun Laban'in Jacob chu ahin phatan, chule Jacob in thing-lhang lah a chun apon buh akison tauvin, chuin Laban le a U anaoten jong Gelead thinglhang a Jacob to kigam lhat louvin aponbuh'u akison tauve.
26 And Laban said to Jacob: 'What hast thou done, that thou hast outwitted me, and carried away my daughters as though captives of the sword?
Chuin Laban in Jacob jah'a aseiye, “Ibola hi tobanga hi neijou lhep hitam ati, chule iti dana ka chanu teni jong gal a sohchang ho banga na bol jeng ham?
27 Wherefore didst thou flee secretly, and outwit me; and didst not tell me, that I might have sent thee away with mirth and with songs, with tabret and with harp;
Ibola guhthim cha a najam mang uham? Ibol'a neijou lhep ham ati, chule nache ding iti dan a neihet sah lou beh ham? Neina hetsah le chun thupitah a kilhahna ankong le la a ngei tah tah kisan tin, tumging to kithoa kivai lhah ta dinga ati.
28 and didst not suffer me to kiss my sons and my daughters? now hast thou done foolishly.
Nathil bol hohi ngolna in na dimset'e, ka chanu teni cha katute jong kabeng chop man tapon, kilhahna jong kana bol thei tapoi! ati.
29 It is in the power of my hand to do you hurt; but the God of your father spoke unto me yesternight, saying: Take heed to thyself that thou speak not to Jacob either good or bad.
Tua hi nangma ka suhbei thei nahi, Hinlah napu napate Pathen in jan hi nilhah in eina kimuto pin gihna jong eineiyin Jacob chu na suhboi theilou ding ahi eiti!
30 And now that thou art surely gone, because thou sore longest after thy father's house, wherefore hast thou stolen my gods?'
Nangma lunggel na in lam a nache ding na thanop na chu ka hethem lheh'e, kham thei jong na hipoi, napa insung miho toh kimu to kal nanga lel jong kahe nai, Hinlah ibola ka Pathen houna doiphung chu naguh ham? ati.
31 And Jacob answered and said to Laban: 'Because I was afraid; for I said: Lest thou shouldest take thy daughters from me by force.
Jacob in adonbut in, “Keiman nangma kana ging lheh in ahi, ajeh chu nang ma in, nachanu teho chu namphu a nei lah peh ding ham tia kana gel ahi.
32 With whomsoever thou findest thy gods, he shall not live; before our brethren discern thou what is thine with me, and take it to thee.' — For Jacob knew not that Rachel had stolen them. —
Amavang nadoi bom vang chu ahile nang man hol in lang namu doh thei leh namu na michu koi hile ahinkho subei jeng tan ati, chule nangma thil ho jong keima sopiho in anala kha aumle kanung peh ding nahi; Jacob in vang Rachel in analah chu anahet lou ahi.
33 And Laban went into Jacob's tent, and into Leah's tent, and into the tent of the two maid-servants; but he found them not. And he went out of Leah's tent, and entered into Rachel's tent.
Laban chu Jacob ponbuh a ache masa pen in doibom hol in, aban'in Leah kom ah, hiche jou chun Leah soh teni komah achen Hinlah imacha amudoh pon, achaina in Rachel pon buh a alut in ahi.
34 Now Rachel had taken the teraphim, and put them in the saddle of the camel, and sat upon them. And Laban felt about all the tent, but found them not.
Rachel in apa insung doibom chu ana ladoh in Sangan pho kah a chu ana sel'a chule achunga chu ama ana tou ahi, hichun Laban in ponbuh sung aning akah aphet vang'in imacha amudoh tapon ahi.
35 And she said to her father: 'Let not my lord be angry that I cannot rise up before thee; for the manner of women is upon me.' And he searched, but found not the teraphim.
Ama nun apa komma asei tai, “Lungsettah in nei ngaidam in ka Pakai keima numei hina lhinna kanei jin kadin theilou ding ahi,” Laban vang ahol chu atang dehpon amavang insung doibom chu amudoh pon ahi.
36 And Jacob was wroth, and strove with Laban. And Jacob answered and said to Laban: 'What is my trespass? what is my sin, that thou hast hotly pursued after me?
Hichun Jacob hatah in ahung lunghang tan Laban apupa jah'a asei tan ahi, “Keima ipi ka guchat na ka jonna umham atitan, chule ipi mong kabol khel a hichan geiya hi ka nung neihin del a keima migucha banga nei bol hitam?
37 Whereas thou hast felt about all my stuff, what hast thou found of all thy household stuff? Set it here before my brethren and thy brethren, that they may judge betwixt us two.
Nang man kanei kathil koina jouse naphet in aning akah geiyin, twin neivet sah in ipi na khol doh ham nang thil, hinpo doh in sopi ule nao ho masang laitah ahin amahon eini kah lah a thutanna neimaiyu hen ati.
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 flocks have I not eaten.
Nangma koma kum som ni na gancha ho kana vettup peh in, na gancha ho kelngoi ahin na kelcha ho ahin imacha boina ana umpon hiche kum hijat kana vettup sunga chun kelngoi khat jong kana kilah khapoi.
39 That which was torn of beasts I brought not unto thee; I bore the loss of it; of my hand didst thou require it, whether stolen by day or stolen by night.
Keiman gamsa in, gancha ho athasa jong kahin polut khapon, athi amang ho jong keima nikho tha to suhto din kana boljin, gancha ho sun hileh jan hileh amang ho jouse chu keima lhalo toh suhto din neikah pehjin ahi.
40 Thus I was: in the day the drought consumed me, and the frost by night; and my sleep fled from mine eyes.
Hiche hi keima dinmun ana hi, Hitipi chun sun teng nisan eihal vampai gon, jan tengle dap kathoh jin, kamit tenin la kei eimut na him him amupha pon ahi.
41 These twenty years have I been in thy house: I served thee fourteen years for thy two daughters, and six years for thy flock; and thou hast changed my wages ten times.
Hitobang achu kum somni nangma insunga kana kiman chah ahi. keiman kum som le kum li nangma insunga lhacha in ka na pang in, na chanu teni lona in kum gup ka na tohbe in gancha ho lona in chule kana toh man somvei tobang neikhel peh in ahi.
42 Except the God of my father, the God of Abraham, and the Fear of Isaac, had been on my side, surely now hadst thou sent me away empty. God hath seen mine affliction and the labour of my hands, and gave judgment yesternight.'
Kapate Pathen, Abraham Pathen, kapa Isaac ginpa chun eipanpi lou hile tua hi nangman khut keohel tah bah a neina solmang ding ahitai. Pathen in ka gentheina le kakhut tah a katoh gimna hi amua jan nilhah a chu na gihsal ahiye,” ati.
43 And Laban answered and said unto Jacob: 'The daughters are my daughters, and the children are my children, and the flocks are my flocks, and all that thou seest is mine; and what can I do this day for these my daughters, or for their children whom they have borne?
Hichun Laban in hitin Jacob adonbut in, “Hiche numei hohi ka chanu ahin, hiche chapang hojong kachate katute ahi, chule gancha ho jouse jong abonna keima gancha ahi. Chule ipi hitale namu phah chan hi aboncha keiya jeng ahi cheh nai. Amavang keiman tua hi ka chanute chule achate ho chunga ipi kabol ding hitam ati.
44 And now come, let us make a covenant, I and thou; and let it be for a witness between me and thee.'
Hijeh chun hung in eini kikah a kitepna nei hite hichun eini eikan khom cheh lhon ding ahi.”
45 And Jacob took a stone, and set it up for a pillar.
Hichun Jacob'in hetjing nading in song khom khat aphut dohtai.
46 And Jacob said unto his brethren: 'Gather stones'; and they took stones, and made a heap. And they did eat there by the heap.
Hichun Jacob'in asopi ho lah a aseiyin, “Songho hin chom khom un,” ati, amahon song chu khat chunga khat asethop un, hichun Jacob le Laban song kise thop komma atou lhon in kitepna ankong chu anekhom lhon tan ahi.
47 And Laban called it Jegar-sahadutha; but Jacob called it Galeed.
Songlhuh kise chu Laban in Jegar-sahadutha asah-in, hiche ma ma chu Jacob'in Galeed asah-e.
48 And Laban said: 'This heap is witness between me and thee this day.' Therefore was the name of it called Galeed;
Hichun Laban in, “Tuni nikhoa hiche song lhuh hi kei le nang kah a sakhia panga ahi tai,” tia, hiche jeh chun amin jong Galeed asah in ahi.
49 and Mizpah, for he said: 'The LORD watch between me and thee, when we are absent one from another.
Hiche mun jong hi Mizpah akiti tai, aman aseiyin, “Ajeh chu nangma le keima jong khonung teng jong leh gamla tah a umjongleh hen Pathen in ei umpi jing lhon hen.”
50 If thou shalt afflict my daughters, and if thou shalt take wives beside my daughters, no man being with us; see, God is witness betwixt me and thee.'
Ka chanute ho nahin suh genthei ja numei dang ho jia nahin kipuiya ahile, koima chan muhih jongle abonchan Pathen in amusoh keiye, Pathen hi nangle kei kikah a kitepna a hiche thua hi pang jing ding ahi.
51 And Laban said to Jacob: 'Behold this heap, and behold the pillar, which I have set up betwixt me and thee.
Hiche song athopma kise ho hi Jacob in Laban jah ah, “Vejing in kei le nang kah a kihet themna hijing ding ahi tai.
52 This heap be witness, and the pillar be witness, that I will not pass over this heap to thee, and that thou shalt not pass over this heap and this pillar unto me, for harm.
Hiche song kise thop hile songphu hi sakhia a pang ahin, ken jong nangma suse dinga hiche hi kahin khokhel lou hel ding, nang in jong keima suse dinga hiche hi nahin khokhel louhel ding ahi.
53 The God of Abraham, and the God of Nahor, the God of their father, judge betwixt us.' And Jacob swore by the Fear of his father Isaac.
Abraham Pathen, Nahor Pathen chule amani pa-Pathen chu eini kah a thutan ding ahi tai,” ati. Hijeh chun Jacob jong apa Isaac ginpa min akihahsel tai.
54 And Jacob offered a sacrifice in the mountain, and called his brethren to eat bread; and they did eat bread, and tarried all night in the mountain.
Hichun Jacob in hiche molchunga chun Pathen henga maicham asem in kitepna ki hetthem na ankong jong asem in, an neh anei jou u-chun hiche jan machun molchunga chun ageh tauve.
55 And early in the morning Laban rose up, and kissed his sons and his daughters, and blessed them. And Laban departed, and returned unto his place.
Laban ajing chun matah in athoudoh in achanute ho le atute ho jouse abonchan achop soh keiyin, chule abonchauvin phatthei aboh soh keiyin, hichun ama a inlam ma aki nungle kit tai.
