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”;
Laban e canaw ni, Jakop ni kaimae apa e hno pueng koung a la pouh dawkvah, hete tawnta e naw pueng heh a hmu e doeh, telah a dei awh e lawk hah Jakop ni a thai.
2 and Jacob sees the face of Laban, and behold, it is not with him as before.
Jakop ni, Laban e minhmai a khet nah a hmoun e patetlah minhmai kahawi ka hmawt hoeh toe tie hah a panue.
3 And YHWH says to Jacob, “Return to the land of your fathers, and to your family, and I am with you.”
Hatdawkvah, BAWIPA ni Jakop koevah, na mintoenaw e ram hoi na imthungkhu lah ban nateh, nang koe vah ka o han, telah ati.
4 And Jacob sends and calls for Rachel and for Leah to the field to his flock;
Jakop ni tami a patoun teh Rachel hoi Leah hah saring onae law vah tho hanelah a kaw sak.
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,
Ahnimouh roi koe, na pa e minhmai ka hmu navah, ahmoun e patetlah minhmai kahawi ka hmawt hoeh toe tie hah ka panue, hateiteh Apa Cathut teh kai koe ao toe.
6 and you have known that with all my power I have served your father,
Ka thayung abuemlahoi na pa e thaw ka tawk e hah na panue awh.
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.
Hot nahlangva na pa ni na dum teh, ka hmu hane aphu hah vai hra touh na dum toe. Hatei patawnae na poe hane teh Cathut ni na pasoung hoeh.
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;
Tarakcak e pueng hah aphu lah ao han telah a dei teh saring pueng ni tarakcak lah koung a khe. Taracak hoi kâkalawt lah a khe e pueng aphu lah ao han ati ei nakunghai, saring pueng ni tarakcak lah koung a khe.
9 and God takes away the substance of your father, and gives to me.
Hottelah, Cathut ni na pa e saringhu hah a la pouh teh kai na poe e doeh.
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;
Hahoi hettelah ao. Saring âvâ yawng hane a kamtawng nah ka mang lah ka khet teh, khenhaw! âvâ ka cawt e a tan hah a em lah kaawm e hoi a em tarakcak e hoi, a em dakdak kaawm e naw hah ka hmu.
11 and the Messenger of God says to me in the dream, Jacob, and I say, Here I [am].
Ka mang lah Cathut e kalvantami ni, Jakop ati teh kai ni, hi vah ka i doeh, ka ti pouh.
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;
Ahni ni, moung na teh, khenhaw! a tan ni âvâ a yawng e pueng hah a em kaawm hoi a em tarakcak e hoi a em dakdak kaawm naw seng doeh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, Laban ni nang dawk a sak e naw pueng hah be ka panue.
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 teh talung na ungnae dawk satui na awinae, kai koe lawkkam na saknae Bethel, hote Bethel Cathut lah ka o. Atu thaw nateh hete ram heh tâcawt takhai, na khenae ram koe lah ban leih, telah ati.
14 And Rachel answers—Leah also—and says to him, “Have we yet a portion and inheritance in the house of our father?
Rachel hoi Leah ni a pathung roi teh, apa im e maimouh hanelah ham hane hoi râw ao rah maw.
15 Have we not been reckoned strangers to him? For he has sold us, and he also utterly consumes our money;
Ahni ni imyin patetlah na pouk awh toung nahoehmaw. Bangkongtetpawiteh, na yo awh teh maimae tangka hai be a ca awh toe.
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.”
Bangkongtetpawiteh, Cathut ni maimae na pa koehoi a la e naw pueng teh, maimae canaw hane doeh. Hottelah Cathut ni nang koe a dei e pueng teh sak yawkaw, telah atipouh.
17 And Jacob rises, and lifts up his sons and his wives on the camels,
Jakop hah a thaw teh, a capanaw hoi a yu roi hah kalauk dawk a kâcui 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.
Kanaan ram a na pa Isak koe cei hanelah a saringnaw hoi hnopai a pâtung e a hmu e saringnaw pueng, Paddanaram ram e a tawn e naw pueng be a sin awh.
19 And Laban has gone to shear his flock, and Rachel steals the teraphim which her father has;
Laban teh amae tu muen ngaw hanelah a cei teh Rachel ni a cei teh a na pa e Terah meikaphawk hah yout a la pouh.
20 and Jacob deceives the heart of Laban the Aramean, because he has not declared to him that he is fleeing;
Jakop teh Siria tami Laban panuek laipalah, arulahoi a cei. A cei hane hah dei pouh hoeh.
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.
Hottelah a tawn e naw pueng hoi a yawng. A thaw teh palang a raka teh Gilead mon lah pâtam lahoi a cei.
22 And it is told to Laban on the third day that Jacob has fled,
Jakop a yawng tie hah apâthum hnin vah Laban koe a dei pouh awh.
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.
A hmaunawnghanaw a hrawi teh, hnin sari touh thung a pâlei teh Gilead mon dawk rek a pha awh.
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.”
Hateiteh, Siria tami Laban koe karum a mang lahoi Cathut a tho teh, Jakop koe a thoe hoi hawi banghai na dei hoeh nahanelah kâhruetcuet, telah atipouh.
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.
Hottelah Laban ni Jakop hah rek a pha. Jakop ni rim hah mon dawk a yap teh, Laban hoi a hmaunawnghanaw ni Gilead mon dawk ahnimae rim hah a yap awh van.
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?
Laban ni Jakop koe, na sak e hno heh bangmaw. Ka thai laipalah dung na cei awh teh, tarantuknae koe man e patetlah ka canunaw na yawngkhai.
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,
Bang kecu dawk maw, arulahoi tapueng hoi ratoung hoi na thak thai nahanlah dei laipalah na o.
28 and have not permitted me to kiss my sons and my daughters? Now you have acted foolishly in doing [so];
Ka capanaw hoi ka canunaw ka paco han na pasoung hoeh. Hottelae pathunae hno hah na sak.
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.
Kai ni koung na raphoe thai han ei teh, na pa Cathut ni karum ka mang lah, Jakop koe a thoe hoi hawi banghai na dei hoeh nahanelah kâhruetcuet, telah na dei pouh.
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?”
Na pa im na rabui poung kecu dawkvah, na ka cet e katang lah na o. Hatei bang kecu dawk maw ka cathutnaw na paru pouh awh, telah 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;
Jakop ni a pathung teh Laban koe, na canunaw heh thama lah na lawm vai tie hah ka puen dawk doeh.
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.
Namae cathut ka lat e teh hring sak hanh. Ka hmaunawnghanaw mithmu vah na cathut kai koe kaawm e teh kahawicalah khen nateh, lat yawkaw, telah ati. Bangkongtetpawiteh, Rachel ni a paru e hah Jakop ni la panuek hoeh.
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 teh Jakop e rim hoi Leah e rim hoi a sannu kahni touh roi e rim koe a tawng teh, hmawt hoeh. Hahoi, Leah e rim hoi a tâco teh Rachel e rim dawk a kâen.
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 ni meikaphawk hah a la teh kalauk ni phunae hno thung vah a hro. Laban ni rim thung naw pueng hah pheng a pâphue eiteh hmawt hoeh.
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.
Rachel ni a na pa koe, na hmalah ka thaw ngai tho hoeh. Ka bawipa, na lungkhuek sak hanh, ka kampheng lahun lah ao dawk doeh, telah ati. Pheng a pâphue eiteh meikaphawk hah hmawt thai awh hoeh.
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?
Jakop teh a lungkhuek teh, Laban hah a yue. Jakop ni Laban koe, bang e phung maw ka ek, bangmaw ka yonnae ao teh, na lungkhuek laihoi na pâlei.
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.
Ka hnopainaw pueng be na pâphue teh, namae hnopai bangmaw na hmu. Maimouh roi teh lawkkâceng thai nahan ka hmaunawnghanaw hoi nange hmaunawnghanaw e hmalah tat.
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 20 totouh nang koe ka o teh, na tu hoi na hmaenaw ni ca khe laipalah awm boihoeh. Na tuhu thung e a tan hai ka cat boihoeh.
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;
Moimatheng ni a kei e hai nang koe ka phatkhai boihoeh. Kai ni paleipalang kahmat e yueng lah ouk ka rawng. Kanîthun lah a paru e naw karum lah a paru e naw hai na patho sak.
40 I have been [thus]: drought has consumed me in the day, and frost by night, and my sleep wanders from my eyes.
Hettelah ouk ka o. Kanîthun khumbei um hai, karum a pâding nahai, rucat um hai, ka tawk. Ihmu boum lah ka ip boihoeh.
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;
Hottelah kum 20 touh thung na im vah ka o teh, na canu roi ka hni touh kutphu e dawk kum 14, na thaw ka tawk. Na saring kutphu dawk kum 6 ka tawk teh, kutphu hah vai hra totouh bout na dum.
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.”
Apa Cathut, Abraham Cathut, Isak Cathut ni a taki e hah kai koe awm hoehpawiteh, atu patenghai tak caici lah ban sak han na noe. Cathut ni karucatnae hoi ka patangnae hah a panue, paduem vah na yue toe, telah 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?
Laban ni a pathung teh, Jakop koe, napuinaw heh kaie canunaw doeh. Tongpanaw hai kaie capanaw doeh. Saringnaw hai kaie saringnaw doeh. Na tawn e naw pueng heh kaie seng doeh. Hateiteh, sahnin vah hete ka canunaw hoi a canaw e a lathueng vah bangmaw ka sak thai han.
44 And now, come, let us make a covenant, I and you, and it has been for a witness between me and you.”
Hatdawkvah, nang hoi kai lawkkamnae sak roi sei. Hothateh, nang hoi kai rahak dawk kapanuekkhaikung lah awm seh, telah ati.
45 And Jacob takes a stone, and lifts it up [for] a standing pillar;
Hottelah, Jakop ni talung a la teh talung hah a ung.
46 and Jacob says to his brothers, “Gather stones,” and they take stones, and make a heap; and they eat there on the heap;
Telah Jakop ni a hmaunawnghanaw koevah, talung pung awh haw, telah ati. Talung hah a la awh teh, a pung awh. Hot van vah bu a ca awh.
47 and Laban calls it Jegar-Sahadutha; and Jacob has called it Galeed.
Laban ni talung pung e hah Jegarsahdutha telah a phung. Hateiteh Jakop ni Galeed telah ati.
48 And Laban says, “This heap [is] witness between me and you today”; therefore has he called its name Galeed;
Laban ni hete pung e talung heh sahnin vah, kai hoi nang rahak vah, lawk kapanuekkhaikung lah ao telah ati. Hatdawkvah a min lah Galeed telah ati e lah ao.
49 Mizpah also, for he said, “YHWH watches between me and you, for we are hidden from one another;
Mizpah telah hai ati awh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, Laban ni kamphei awh hnukkhu hoi BAWIPA ni maimanaw na ring lawiseh.
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 canunaw heh roedeng na poe teh, yu alouke na tawn pawiteh, apihai maimouh koe awm hoeh eiteh, khenhaw! Cathut teh nang hoi kai rahak vah, kapanuekkhaikung lah ao, telah ati.
51 And Laban says to Jacob, “Behold, this heap, and behold, the standing pillar which I have cast between me and you;
Laban ni Jakop koe hete talung ung e hoi hete talung pung e heh kai hoi nang rahak vah ka ta e lah ao.
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;
Patawnae poe hanelah kai ni hete talung pung e hoi talung ung e hloilah ka tho mahoeh, tie hoi nang ni hai hete talung pung e hoi talung ung e hloilah tapuet hoi na tho mahoeh, telah hete talung pung e hah kapanuekkhaikung lah awm nateh, hete talung ung e hai kapanuekkhaikung lah awm naseh.
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 Cathut, Nahor Cathut, a na pa Cathut ni maimae rahak lawkceng naseh, telah ati. Hahoi Jakop ni a na pa Isak ni taki e noe lahoi thoe a bo.
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;
Jakop ni mon dawkvah, thuengnae a sak teh a hmaunawnghanaw hah vaiyei ca hanelah a kaw teh, vaiyei hah a ca awh. Mon dawkvah a roe awh.
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 teh amom vah a thaw teh, a capanaw hoi a canunaw hah a paco teh yawhawi a poe hnukkhu Laban teh a ma onae koe lah a ban.
