< 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”;
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 sees the face of Laban, and behold, it is not with him as before.
Chujong le Jacob in Laban maiso aven ahile alung lhailou lungthim chom agel jong ahe chen tan ahi.
3 And YHWH says to Jacob, “Return to the land of your fathers, and to your family, and I am with you.”
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 sends and calls for Rachel and for Leah to the field to his flock;
Hichun Jacob in mi asol in loulam a akelngoi chin nauva Rachel le Leah aga kou sah tan ahi.
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,
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 you have known 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 has played on me, and has changed my hire ten times; and God has not permitted him to do evil with 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 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;
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 and God takes away the substance of your father, and gives to me.
Hitia hi Pa Pathen in napa gancha ho jouse alah a keima eipehsoh ahitai.
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;
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 Messenger of God says to me in the dream, Jacob, and I say, Here I [am].
Chuin hitia mang kanei petin Pakai vantil khat in eihin houpin Jacob eihin tin kenjong “Hoijo hikoma kaum e,” kati.
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;
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 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.”
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 answers—Leah also—and says to him, “Have we yet a portion and inheritance in the house of our father?
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 Have we not been reckoned strangers to him? For he has sold us, and he also utterly consumes our money;
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 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.”
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 And Jacob rises, and lifts up his sons and his wives on the camels,
Hichun Jacob akipat doh in ajite le achate jouse chu Sangan chunga atoudoh sah soh kei tan;
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.
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 And Laban has gone to shear his flock, and Rachel steals the teraphim which her father has;
Chuin Laban chu kelngoi mulvou dinga akon doh phat'in Rachel in apa insung semthu pathen chu ana kiguh mang tai.
20 and Jacob deceives the heart of Laban the Aramean, because he has not declared to him that he is fleeing;
Jacob'in jong Laban Syrian mipa chu alhem lhan in, ajam doh dingu jong aseipeh pon ahi.
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.
Hichun Jacob in anei agou jouse akipoh in Eupharate vadung apal galkai in Gilead thing lhang lam ahin jontai.
22 And it is told to Laban on the third day that Jacob has fled,
Ahin ni thum jouvin Jacob ajam mang tai tithu chu Laban ahin seipeh un;
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.
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 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.”
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 overtakes Jacob; and Jacob has fixed his tent in the mountain; and Laban with his brothers have fixed [theirs] in the Mount 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 says to Jacob, “What have you done that you deceive my heart, and lead away my daughters as 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 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,
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 have not permitted me to kiss my sons and my daughters? Now you have acted foolishly in doing [so];
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 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.
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, you have certainly gone, because you have been very desirous for the house of your father; why have you 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 answers and says to Laban, “Because I was afraid, for I said, Lest you violently take away your daughters from me;
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 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.
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 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.
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 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;
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 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.
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 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?
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 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.
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 I [am] with you: your ewes and your female goats have not miscarried, and the rams of your flock I have 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 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;
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 I have been [thus]: drought has consumed me in the day, and frost by night, and my sleep wanders from my 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 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;
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 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.”
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 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?
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 you, and it has been for a witness between me and you.”
Hijeh chun hung in eini kikah a kitepna nei hite hichun eini eikan khom cheh lhon ding ahi.”
45 And Jacob takes a stone, and lifts it up [for] a standing pillar;
Hichun Jacob'in hetjing nading in song khom khat aphut dohtai.
46 and Jacob says to his brothers, “Gather stones,” and they take stones, and make a heap; and they eat there on 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 calls it Jegar-Sahadutha; and Jacob has called it Galeed.
Songlhuh kise chu Laban in Jegar-sahadutha asah-in, hiche ma ma chu Jacob'in Galeed asah-e.
48 And Laban says, “This heap [is] witness between me and you today”; therefore has he called its name 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 Mizpah also, for he said, “YHWH watches between me and you, for we are hidden from one 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 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 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 says to Jacob, “Behold, this heap, and behold, the standing pillar which I have cast between me and you;
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 [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;
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, judges between us—the God of their father,” and Jacob swears 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 sacrifices a sacrifice on the mountain, and calls to his brothers to eat bread, and they eat bread, and lodge on 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 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 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.
