Genesis 31
1 And he hears the words of Laban’s sons, saying, “Jacob has taken all that our father has; indeed, from that which our father has, he has made all this glory”;
Tedae Laban ca rhoek kah olka la, “Jakob loh a pa koe te boeih a loh dongah hekah thangpomnah boeih he khaw a pa koe ni hlawp a bawn,” a ti uh te a yaak.
2 and Jacob sees the face of Laban, and behold, it is not with him as before.
Te phoeiah Laban kah maelhmai te Jakob loh a hmuh vaengah hlaem hlaemvai kah bangla anih taengah om pawh.
3 And YHWH says to Jacob, “Return to the land of your fathers, and to your family, and I am with you.”
Tedae BOEIPA loh Jakob te, “Na pa rhoek kah khohmuen neh na pacaboeina taengla bal ngawn lamtah nang taengah ka om bit ni,” a ti nah.
4 And Jacob sends and calls for Rachel and for Leah to the field to his flock;
Te dongah Jakob loh Rakhel neh Leah te a tah tih kohong kah a boiva te a khue.
5 and says to them, “I am beholding your father’s face—that it is not toward me as before, and the God of my father has been with me,
Te phoeiah amih te, “Na pa maelhmai te ka hmuh vaengah, hlaem hlaemvai vaengkah bangla kai taengah anih om pawt cakhaw a pa kah Pathen loh kai taengah om.
6 and you have known that with all my power I have served your father,
Tahae ah ka thadueng boeih neh na pa taengah ka thohtat te na ming uh.
7 and your father has played on me, and has changed my hire ten times; and God has not permitted him to do evil with me.
Na pa khaw kai taengah omsaa tih ka thapang te voei rha la a hoilae. Tedae kai he thae sak ham tah Pathen loh anih a paek moenih.
8 If he says thus: The speckled are your hire, then all the flock bore speckled ones; and if he says thus: The striped are your hire, then all the flock bore striped;
Rhikrhak te nang kah thapang la om saeh a ti van hatah boiva te khaw rhikrhak la boeih thang tih a rhangcam te nang kah thapang la om saeh a ti van hatah boiva te a rhangcam la boeih thang.
9 and God takes away the substance of your father, and gives to me.
Tedae na pa kah boiva te Pathen long ni a lat tih kai taengah m'paek.
10 And it comes to pass at the time of the flock conceiving, that I lift up my eyes and see in a dream, and behold, the male goats, which are going up on the flock, [are] striped, speckled, and spotted;
Boiva te a pa a cuk tue a pha coeng tih ka mik te ka huel. Mueimang ah ka hmuh tih kikong loh a caeh thil boiva tah rhangcam, rhikrhak neh dikdek la om he.
11 and the Messenger of God says to me in the dream, Jacob, and I say, Here I [am].
Te phoeiah Pathen kah puencawn loh kai te ka mang ah, 'Jakob,” a ti tih, “Kai ni he,” ka ti nah.
12 And He says, Now lift up your eyes and see [that] all the male goats which are going up on the flock [are] striped, speckled, and spotted, for I have seen all that Laban is doing to you;
Te dongah, “Na mik huel lamtah tahae kah boiva a rhangcam, rhikrhak neh dikdek taengah aka cu kikong rhoek boeih ke so lah. Laban loh nang taengah a saii boeih te ka hmuh coeng.
13 I [am] the God of Bethel where you have anointed a standing pillar, where you have vowed a vow to me; now, arise, go out from this land, and return to the land of your birth.”
Kai tah kaam te na koelh tih kai taengah olcaeng neh na caeng vaengkah te Bethel Pathen ni. Hekah khohmuen lamloh thoo laeh, cet lamtah na pacaboeina kah khohmuen la mael laeh,’ a ti,” a ti nah.
14 And Rachel answers—Leah also—and says to him, “Have we yet a portion and inheritance in the house of our father?
Te dongah Rakhel neh Leah loh a doo vaengah, “A pa im kah hamsum neh rho te mamih ham om voel a?
15 Have we not been reckoned strangers to him? For he has sold us, and he also utterly consumes our money;
Anih loh kholong hlang la m'poek uh dongah mamih he n'yoih phoeiah mamih kah tangka te a caak khaw a caak moenih a?
16 for all the wealth which God has taken away from our father, it [is] ours, and our children’s; and now, all that God has said to you—do.”
Hmantang ah Pathen loh a pa taengkah a lat khuehtawn boeih te mah koe neh n'ca rhoek kah ni. Te dongah Pathen loh nang taengah a thui boeih te tah saii laeh,” a ti rhoi.
17 And Jacob rises, and lifts up his sons and his wives on the camels,
Te dongah Jakob loh thoo tih a ca rhoek neh a yuu rhoek te kalauk rhoek dongla a ngol sak.
18 and leads all his livestock, and all his substance which he has acquired, the livestock of his getting, which he has acquired in Padan-Aram, to go to his father Isaac, to the land of Canaan.
Te phoeiah a napa Isaak kah khohmuen Kanaan la caeh ham a boiva neh a kawn a dang boeih te khaw, Paddanaram ah a dang amah kah hnopai, boiva te khaw baat a thawn.
19 And Laban has gone to shear his flock, and Rachel steals the teraphim which her father has;
Tedae Laban loh amah kah tu te a mul vok pah ham a caeh vaengah Rakhel loh a napa kah sithui te a huen.
20 and Jacob deceives the heart of Laban the Aramean, because he has not declared to him that he is fleeing;
Anih a yong te a puen mueh la Jakob loh Arammi Laban kah lungbuei te a namnah.
21 and he flees, he and all that he has, and rises, and passes over the River, and sets his face [toward] the Mount of Gilead.
Anih a yong dongah a taengkah boeih te khaw a thoh puei tih, tuiva a poeng phoeikah Gilead tlang dan la a hooi puei.
22 And it is told to Laban on the third day that Jacob has fled,
Tedae Jakob a yong te a hnin thum daengah Laban taengah a puen pah.
23 and he takes his brothers with him, and pursues after him a journey of seven days, and overtakes him in the Mount of Gilead.
Te dongah Laban loh amah manuca rhoek te a khuen tih hnin rhih longcaeh due anih hnuk te a hloem phoeiah Jakob te Gilead tlang ah a tuuk.
24 And God comes to Laban the Aramean in a dream of the night and says to him, “Take heed to yourself lest you speak with Jacob from good to evil.”
Tedae Arammi hoel Laban te Khoyin a mang ah Pathen loh a paan tih, “Namah te ngaithuen, Jakob taengah a then khaw a thae la na thui ve,” a ti nah.
25 And Laban overtakes Jacob; and Jacob has fixed his tent in the mountain; and Laban with his brothers have fixed [theirs] in the Mount of Gilead.
Tedae Laban loh Jakob a tuuk vaengah Jakob loh amah kah dap te tlang ah a tuk coeng dongah Laban neh a manuca rhoek long khaw Gilead tlang ah rhaeh uh.
26 And Laban says to Jacob, “What have you done that you deceive my heart, and lead away my daughters as captives of the sword?
Te vaengah Laban loh Jakob la, “Balae na saii he. Ka thinko he na liim tih ka tanu rhoek te cunghang kah a sol bangla na hmaithawn.
27 Why have you hidden yourself to flee, and deceive me, and have not declared to me, and I send you away with joy and with songs, with tambourine and with harp,
Yong ham te balae tih na phah, kai taengah na puen mueh la kai nan liim. Nang te kohoenah neh, laa neh, kamrhing neh, rhotoeng nen khaw kan tueih van mako.
28 and have not permitted me to kiss my sons and my daughters? Now you have acted foolishly in doing [so];
Ka ca rhoek so neh ka canu rhoek soah te mok ham kai nan paek pawt khaw na pavai coeng tih ni na saii.
29 my hand is to God to do evil with you, but the God of your father last night has spoken to me, saying, Take heed to yourself from speaking with Jacob from good to evil.
Nangmih te a thae la saii ham ka thaa om ngawn dae hlaem yin ah na pa kah Pathen loh kai m'voek tih, 'Jakob te a thae neh a then khaw thui te namah ngaithuen,’ a ti.
30 And now, you have certainly gone, because you have been very desirous for the house of your father; why have you stolen my gods?”
Tedae na pa im te ngaidam la na ngaidam coeng dongah na cet khaw na cet mai ni. Balae tih kai kah pathen na huen,” a ti nah.
31 And Jacob answers and says to Laban, “Because I was afraid, for I said, Lest you violently take away your daughters from me;
Tedae Jakob loh a doo tih Laban te, “Na canu rhoek he kai taeng lamloh na doek ve ka ti tih ka rhih dongah ni.
32 with whomsoever you find your gods—he must not live; before our brothers discern for yourself what [is] with me, and take to yourself”: and Jacob has not known that Rachel has stolen them.
A taengah na khohni na hmuh te tah kaimih kah pacaboeina hmaiah hing boel saeh. Kai taengkah he namah loh hmat lamtah namah kah atah lo,” a ti nah. Tedae Rakhel loh a huen te Jakob loh ming pawh.
33 And Laban goes into the tent of Jacob, and into the tent of Leah, and into the tent of the two handmaidens, and has not found; and he goes out from the tent of Leah, and goes into the tent of Rachel.
Te dongah Laban loh Jakob kah dap khaw, Leah kah dap neh taengom rhoi kah dap khuila cet dae a hmuh pawt dongah Leah kah dap lamkah halo tih Rakhel kah dap khuila kun.
34 And Rachel has taken the teraphim, and puts them in the furniture of the camel, and sits on them; and Laban feels all the tent, and has not found;
Tedae Rakhel loh sithui te a loh tih kalauk kah ngoldoelh khuiah a khueh tih a ngol thil dongah dap te Laban loh boeih a phatuem dae hmu pawh.
35 and she says to her father, “Let it not be displeasing in the eyes of my lord that I am not able to rise at your presence, for the way of women [is] on me”; and he searches, and has not found the teraphim.
Te vaengah Rakhel loh a napa taengah, “Ka boeipa mik ah sai boel mai. Kai taengah huta kah khosing om tih nang hmuh ah thoh ham ka coeng moenih,” a ti nah. Te dongah a sat akhaw sithui te hmu pawh.
36 And it is displeasing to Jacob, and he strives with Laban; and Jacob answers and says to Laban, “What [is] my transgression? What my sin, that you have burned after me?
Tedae Jakob te sai tih Laban te a ho. Te vaengah Jakob loh Laban te a doo tih, “Kai kah mebang dumlai neh mebang tholhnah dongah lae kai hnukah nan hlak.
37 For you have felt all my vessels: what have you found of all the vessels of your house? Set here before my brothers, and your brothers, and they decide between us both.
Tahae ah kai kah hnopai boeih te na phatuem tih na im kah hnopai khat khaw na hmuh te kai kah pacaboeina neh nang kah paca boeina hmuh ah n'rha phoeiah man mamih rhoi laklo ah n'tluung uh rhoi sue.
38 These twenty years I [am] with you: your ewes and your female goats have not miscarried, and the rams of your flock I have not eaten;
Kum kul khuiah he nang taengah ka om coeng dae na tumanu neh na maae rhoek loh thangyah vai pawt tih na boiva khuikah a tal rhoek khaw ka ca vai pawh.
39 the torn I have not brought to you—I repay it—from my hand you seek it; I have been deceived by day, and I have been deceived by night;
Saha te na taengla kan khuen pawh. Khoyin loh a huen khaw, khothaih loh a huen khaw nan suk dongah kai loh kamah kut lamkah neh ka kawn.
40 I have been [thus]: drought has consumed me in the day, and frost by night, and my sleep wanders from my eyes.
Khothaih ah kholing loh n'do tih khoyin ah rhaelnu loh m'boh phoeiah ka mik loh ih ham a hlavawt tih ka om.
41 This [is] to me twenty years in your house: I have served you fourteen years for your two daughters, and six years for your flock; and you change my hire ten times;
Tahae ah kai loh nang im ah kum kul ka om khuiah na canu rhoi ham kum hlai li neh na boiva ham kum rhuk te nang taengah ka tho ka tat dae ka thapang te voei rha la na hoi na lae.
42 unless the God of my father, the God of Abraham, and the Fear of Isaac, had been for me, surely now you had sent me away empty; God has seen my affliction and the labor of my hands, and reproves last night.”
A pa kah Pathen, Abraham kah Pathen neh Isaak kah birhihnah te kai taengah om pawt koinih kuttling la kai nan tueih tarha mai veh. Kai kah phacip phabaem neh ka kut kah a thatloh te Pathen loh a hmuh dongah ni hlaem yin ah a tluung,” a ti nah.
43 And Laban answers and says to Jacob, “The daughters [are] my daughters, and the sons my sons, and the flock my flock, and all that you are seeing [is] mine; and to my daughters—what do I to these today, or to their sons whom they have born?
Laban long khaw Jakob te a doo vaengah, “Huta rhoek te kai canu rhoek tih tongpa rhoek te khaw kai ca rhoek ni. Boiva te khaw kai kah boiva tih namah loh na hmuh boeih te kai koe ni. Tedae tihnin ah ka canu rhoek, amih ham neh amih loh a sak camoe rhoek ham balae ka saii thai voel.
44 And now, come, let us make a covenant, I and you, and it has been for a witness between me and you.”
Te dongah halo laeh! Kai neh nang paipi sai sih lamtah kai laklo nang laklo ah laipai la om saeh,” a ti nah.
45 And Jacob takes a stone, and lifts it up [for] a standing pillar;
Te dongah Jakob loh lungto a rhuh tih kaam la a ling.
46 and Jacob says to his brothers, “Gather stones,” and they take stones, and make a heap; and they eat there on the heap;
Te phoeiah Jakob loh amah kah paca boeina rhoek la, “Lungto rhut uh,” a ti nah. Lungto te a rhuh uh tih lungkuk la a saii uh phoeiah tah lungkuk taengah buh pahoi a caak uh.
47 and Laban calls it Jegar-Sahadutha; and Jacob has called it Galeed.
Te dongah tekah lungkuk te Laban loh Jegarsahdutha a sui tih Jakob loh Galeed la a khue.
48 And Laban says, “This heap [is] witness between me and you today”; therefore has he called its name Galeed;
Te phoeiah Laban loh, “Tihnin ah hekah lungkuk loh kai laklo neh nang laklo ah laipai la om coeng,” a ti dongah a ming te Galeed a sui.
49 Mizpah also, for he said, “YHWH watches between me and you, for we are hidden from one another;
Te phoeiah, “Hlang hui taeng lamloh n'thuh vaengah kai laklo neh nang laklo ah BOEIPA loh n'tawt saeh,” a ti dongah Mizpah a sui.
50 if you afflict my daughters, or take wives beside my daughters—there is no man with us—see, God [is] witness between me and you.”
Ka ca huta rhoek te khoem na phaep tih ka ca rhoek hmanah yuu na loh atah mamih taengah hlang om pawt dae kai neh nang laklo kah laipai tah Pathen ni tila hmu sih.
51 And Laban says to Jacob, “Behold, this heap, and behold, the standing pillar which I have cast between me and you;
Te phoeiah Laban loh Jakob te, “Lungkuk he khaw kaam he khaw ne, te ni kai laklo neh nang laklo ah kan thuinuet.
52 this heap [is] witness, and the standing pillar [is] witness, that I do not pass over this heap to you, and that you do not pass over this heap and this standing pillar to me—for evil;
Boethae ham khaw hekah lungkuk neh kaam he tah kai loh nang taengla hekah lungkuk kan poeng pawt ham neh nang khaw kai taengla na poe pawt ham hekah lungkuk neh kaam he laipai la om saeh.
53 the God of Abraham and the God of Nahor, judges between us—the God of their father,” and Jacob swears by the Fear of his father Isaac.
Abraham kah Pathen neh Nakhaw kah Pathen, a napa kah Pathen loh mamih laklo ah laitloek uh saeh,” a ti nah. Te phoeiah Jakob loh a napa Isaak kah birhihnah neh a toemngam.
54 And Jacob sacrifices a sacrifice on the mountain, and calls to his brothers to eat bread, and they eat bread, and lodge on the mountain;
Te dongah Jakob loh tlang ah hmueih a nawn phoeiah buh ca la amah huiko te a khue. Buh a caak uh phoeiah tlang ah rhaeh uh.
55 and Laban rises early in the morning, and kisses his sons and his daughters, and blesses them; and Laban goes on, and turns back to his place.
Laban te mincang ah thoo tih a ca rhoek neh a canu rhoek te a mok. Te phoeiah amih te yoethen a paek. Te phoeiah cet tih Laban khaw amah hmuen la mael.
