Genesis 29
1 And Jacob lifts up his feet, and goes toward the land of the sons of the east;
Te phoeiah Jakob loh a kho a kan tih khothoeng ca rhoek kah khohmuen la cet.
2 and he looks, and behold, a well in the field, and behold, there [are] three droves of a flock crouching by it, for they water the droves from that well, and the great stone [is] on the mouth of the well.
Te vaengah a sawt hatah lohma kah tuito khaw, tekah tuito lamkah tui te tuping a tul dongah tuping loh a kaep ah pathum la a kol uh khaw, tuito kah a rhai kah lungrhang te khaw lawt a hmuh.
3 (When all the droves have been gathered there, and they have rolled the stone from off the mouth of the well, and have watered the flock, then they have turned back the stone on the mouth of the well to its place.)
Te la tuping boeih a tingtun vaengah tuito rhai kah lungto te a paluet uh tih boiva te a tul uh. Te phoeiah lungto te tuito kah a rhai ah amah hmuen la a khueh uh.
4 And Jacob says to them, “My brothers, where [are] you from?” And they say, “We [are] from Haran.”
Te dongah Jakob loh amih te, “Ka manuca rhoek nangmih he me lamkah rhoek lae,” a ti nah hatah, “Kaimih he Haran lamkah ni,” a ti uh.
5 And he says to them, “Have you known Laban, son of Nahor?” And they say, “We have known.”
Te phoeiah amih te, “Nakhaw capa Laban te na ming uh a? a ti nah hatah, “Ka ming uh ta,” a ti uh.
6 And he says to them, “Does he have peace?” And they say, “Peace; and behold, his daughter Rachel is coming with the flock.”
Te dongah Jakob loh amih taengah, “Anih te a sading ngawn a? a ti nah hatah, “A sading tih a canu Rakhel khaw boiva neh halo ke,” a ti nauh.
7 And he says, “Behold, the day [is] still great, [it is] not time for the livestock to be gathered; water the flock, and go, delight yourselves.”
Te vaengah, “Kho muep om pueng ta he, boiva a tingtun tue moenih. Boiva te tuitul, te phoeiah hlah lamtah luem sak,” a ti nah.
8 And they say, “We are not able, until all the droves be gathered together, and they have rolled away the stone from the mouth of the well, and we have watered the flock.”
Tedae amih loh, “Tuping rhoek boeih tingtun tih tuito rhai lamkah lungto te ka paluet uh daengah ni boiva khaw tui ka tuluh. Ka paluet thai uh pawt atah ka tul uh thai pawh,” a ti uh.
9 He is yet speaking with them, and Rachel has come with the flock which her father has, for she [is] shepherdess;
Amih te a voek li vaengah Rakhel loh a napa kah tu dawn ham tu neh ha puei uh.
10 and it comes to pass, when Jacob has seen Rachel, daughter of his mother’s brother Laban, and the flock of his mother’s brother Laban, that Jacob comes near and rolls the stone from off the mouth of the well, and waters the flock of his mother’s brother Laban.
Tedae Jakob loh a nupu Laban canu Rakhel te khaw, a nupu Laban kah boiva te khaw a hmuh vanbangla Jakob te thoeih tih tuito rhai lamkah lungto te a paluet. Te phoeiah a nupu Laban kah boiva te tui a tul pah.
11 And Jacob kisses Rachel, and lifts up his voice, and weeps,
Te phoeiah Jakob loh Rakhel te a mok dae a ol a huel tih rhap.
12 and Jacob declares to Rachel that he [is] her father’s brother, and that he [is] Rebekah’s son, and she runs and declares [it] to her father.
Tedae Jakob loh Rakhel taengah amah te a napa kah huiko neh Rebekah capa ni tila a puen dongah Rakhel te yong tih a napa taengah puen.
13 And it comes to pass, when Laban hears the report of his sister’s son Jacob, that he runs to meet him, and embraces him, and kisses him, and brings him into his house; and he recounts to Laban all these things,
Laban long khaw a ngannu capa Jakob kah olthang te a yaak van neh anih doe ham yong tih a kop phoeiah a mok tih amah im la a khuen vaengah hekah olka boeih te Laban taengah a tae pah.
14 and Laban says to him, “You [are] surely my bone and my flesh”; and he dwells with him a month of days.
Te dongah Laban loh Jakob taengah, “Nang tah kamah rhuh neh saa pai ni,” a ti nah. Tedae anih taengah a khohnin hla la puet kho a sak.
15 And Laban says to Jacob, “Is it because you [are] my brother that you have served me for nothing? Declare to me what your hire [is].”
Te vaengah Laban loh Jakob taengah, “Nang he kamah huiko la na om dongah a hoeihae lam a kai taengah na thohtat eh? Kai taengah na thapang te thui,” a ti nah.
16 And Laban has two daughters, the name of the older [is] Leah, and the name of the younger Rachel,
Te vaengkah Laban canu rhoi tah, a ham ming te Leah tih, a noe ming te Rakhel la om.
17 and the eyes of Leah [are] tender, and Rachel has been beautiful of form and beautiful of appearance.
Te vaengah Leah kah a mik te mongkawt dae Rakhel tah a suisak sakthen neh mueimae sakthen la om.
18 And Jacob loves Rachel and says, “I serve you seven years for Rachel your younger daughter”:
Tedae Jakob loh Rakhel te a lungnah dongah, “Na canu a noe Rakhel ham nang taengah kum rhih ka tho ka tat ni,” a ti nah.
19 and Laban says, “It is better for me to give her to you than to give her to another man; dwell with me”;
Te dongah Laban loh, “Hlang tloe te ka paek lakah nang taengah anih kan paek te then ngai tih kamah taengah khosa mai,” a ti nah.
20 and Jacob serves for Rachel seven years; and they are in his eyes as some days, because of his loving her.
Te vaengah Jakob loh Rakhel ham kum rhih thotat dae anih te a lungnah dongah a mik ah hnin at bangla om.
21 And Jacob says to Laban, “Give up my wife, for my days have been fulfilled, and I go in to her”;
Te phoeiah Jakob loh Laban te, “Ka khohnin khaw cup coeng tih ka yuu te m'pae lamtah anih taengah ka yalh pawn ni,” a ti nah.
22 and Laban gathers all the men of the place, and makes a banquet.
Te dongah Laban loh te hmuen kah hlang boeih te a coi tih buhkoknah a saii.
23 And it comes to pass in the evening, that he takes his daughter Leah, and brings her to him, and he goes in to her;
Tedae hlaem a pha vaengah tah a canu Leah te a khuen tih a paek dongah anih taengah Jakob yalh.
24 and Laban gives his maidservant Zilpah to her, to his daughter Leah, [for] a maidservant.
Te phoeiah Laban loh a canu Leah taengah amah kah taengom Zilpah te taengom la a paek.
25 And it comes to pass in the morning, that behold, it [is] Leah; and he says to Laban, “What [is] this you have done to me? Have I not served with you for Rachel? And why have you deceived me?”
Tedae mincang ah tah Leah te tarha a om pah. Te dongah Laban te, “Kai taengah balae na saii he? Rakhel ham nang taengah ka thoh ka tat moenih a? Tedae balae tih kai nan phok,” a ti nah.
26 And Laban says, “It is not done so in our place, to give the younger before the firstborn;
Te vaengah Laban loh, “Kaimih kho ah caming hlanah a noe a paek ham te a saii noek moenih.
27 fulfill the period of seven [for] this one, and we also give to you this one, for the service which you serve with me yet seven other years.”
Tahae yalh he a boeih phoeiah kai ham kum rhih koep na thohtat atah tekah thohtatnah yuengla anih te nang taengah kan paek bal ni,” a ti nah.
28 And Jacob does so, and fulfills the period of seven [for] this one, and he gives his daughter Rachel to him for a wife for him;
Te dongah Jakob loh a saii van tih tekah yalh a boeih phoeiah a canu Rakhel te anih yuu la amah taengah a paek.
29 and Laban gives his maidservant Bilhah to his daughter Rachel for a maidservant for her.
Te phoeiah Laban loh a canu Rakhel taengah amah kah taengom Bilhah te taengom la a paek.
30 And he also goes in to Rachel, and he also loves Rachel more than Leah; and he serves with him yet seven other years.
Te vaengah Rakhel taengah a yalh bal hatah Rakhel te Leah lakah a lungnah ngai dongah anih ham kum rhih koep thotat.
31 And YHWH sees that Leah [is] the hated one, and He opens her womb, and Rachel [is] barren;
Leah te a hnoel te BOEIPA loh a hmuh dongah a bung tah a ong. Tedae Rakhel te a yaa sak.
32 and Leah conceives, and bears a son, and calls his name Reuben, for she said, “Because YHWH has looked on my affliction; because now does my husband love me.”
Te dongah Leah te pumrhih tih capa a cun hatah, “BOEIPA loh kai kah phacipphabaem te a hmuh tih ka va loh kai n'lungnah taktak pawn ni,” a ti. Te dongah a ming te Reuben a sui.
33 And she conceives again, and bears a son, and says, “Because YHWH has heard that I [am] the hated one, He also gives to me even this [one]”; and she calls his name Simeon.
Te phoeiah koep pumrhih tih capa a cun hatah, “Kai n'hnoel te BOEIPA loh a yaak dongah he khaw kai m'paek,” a ti. Te dongah anih ming te Simeon a sui.
34 And she conceives again and bears a son, and says, “Now [is] the time, my husband is joined to me, because I have born to him three sons,” therefore has [one] called his name Levi.
Te phoeiah koep pumrhih tih capa a cun hatah, “Anih ham capa voei thum ka cun pah dongah ka va loh kai taengah naep pawn ni,” a ti. Te dongah anih ming te Levi a sui.
35 And she conceives again and bears a son, and this time says, “I praise YHWH”; therefore has she called his name Judah; and she ceases from bearing.
Te phoeiah koep pumrhih tih capa a cun hatah, “BOEIPA te voei vai khaw ka uem eh?,” a ti. Te dongah anih ming te Judah a sui. Te phoeiah a ca cun te duem.
