Genesis 29
1 Then Jacob lifted up his feet, —and went his way towards the land of the sons of the East.
Jakop ni pou a cei teh Kanîtholae taminaw e ram dawk a pha.
2 And he looked, and lo! a well, in the field and lo! there, three flocks of sheep, lying down near it, for out of that well, do they water the flocks, but, the stone, is great, on the mouth of the well:
A khet navah tuikhu kaawm e lawpam vah tuhu kathum touh a kamkawn e hah a hmu. Bangkongtetpawiteh, tuikhu thung e tui hah tunaw ouk a pânei awh. Tuikhu koe lungsong ao.
3 so they gather together thither all the flocks, and roll away the stone from off the mouth of the well, and water the sheep, —and put back the stone upon the mouth of the well, to its place.
Hote hmuen koe tunaw pueng pâkhueng lah ao han. Tuikhu khannae lungsong hah takhoe vaiteh, tu tui pânei hoi talung teh ama onae hmuen dawk bout teng lah ao han.
4 And Jacob said to them, My brethren, whence are ye? And they said: From haran, are we.
Jakop ni ahnimouh koevah, ka hmaunawnghanaw api kho maw, telah a pacei. Ahnimouh ni, Haran taminaw doeh telah atipouh awh.
5 And he said to them, Know ye Laban, son of Nahor? And they said, We know him.
Ahni ni ahnimouh koevah, Nahor capa Laban na panue awh maw telah a pacei. Ahnimouh ni, Oe ka panue awh, telah atipouh awh.
6 And he said to them, Is it well with him? And they said, Well, but lo! Rachel his daughter, coming in with the sheep.
Ahni ni ahnimouh koevah, a hring rah maw, telah a pacei. Ahnimouh ni, Oe a dam rah doeh, khenhaw! a canu Rachel hai tu hoi a tho lahun, telah atipouh awh.
7 And he said Lo! the day is yet high, it is not time for gathering together the cattle, —water the sheep, and go feed.
Ahni ni, Khenhaw! Kanî asaw rah, saring pâkhueng hanelah khout hoeh rah. Tunaw hah tui pânei awh nateh bout tha awh ei, telah atipouh.
8 And they said, We cannot, until that all the flocks are gathered together, and they roll away the stone, from off the mouth of the well, —and then can we water the sheep.
Hateiteh, ahnimouh ni, tuhunaw pueng pâkhueng teh tuikhu tengnae talung takhoe hoehnahlan pueng teh tui pânei thai lah awm awh hoeh. Takhoe hnukkhu to doeh tu heh tui ouk ka pânei awh, telah atipouh awh.
9 While yet he was speaking with them, Rachel, had come in with the sheep which belonged to her father, for a shepherdess, was she.
Hottelah, lawk a kâpan navah, Rachel teh a na pa e tunaw hoi a tho, bangkongtetpawiteh ahni teh tu ka khoum e napui lah ao.
10 And it came to pass when Jacob saw Rachel daughter of Laban, his mother’s brother, and the sheep of Laban, his mother’s brother, that Jacob went near, and rolled away the stone from off the mouth of the well, and watered the sheep of Laban his mother’s brother,
Hahoi, hettelah ao. Jakop ni a manu e a thangroi Laban e canu Rachel hoi tunaw a hmu toteh, a cei sin teh tuikhu tengnae talung hah a takhoe pouh teh a manu e a thangroi e tu hah tui a pânei pouh.
11 And Jacob kissed Rachel, —and lifted up his voice, and wept.
Hahoi, Jakop ni Rachel hah a paco teh ngawngngawng a ka.
12 And when Jacob told Rachel that he was her father’s brother, and that he was Rebekah’s son, then ran she, and told her father.
Jakop ni Rachel koe a na pa e a na minca lah a onae hoi Rebekah e capa lah a onae kong hah a dei pouh. Hatdawkvah, Rachel ni a na pa koe ayawng teh a dei pouh.
13 And it came to pass when Laban heard the tidings of Jacob his sister’s son, that he ran to meet him, and embraced him, and fondly kissed him, and brought him into his house, —when he recounted to Laban all these things.
Hahoi, Laban ni a tawncanu e capa Jakop kong a thai tahma, ahni dawn hanelah ayawng. A tapam teh a paco hnukkhu, a im vah a hrawi. Jakop ni Laban koe hno kâhmo e akongnaw pueng a dei pouh.
14 And Laban said to him, Surely, my bone and my flesh, art thou. So he abode with him a month of days.
Laban ni ahni koe, nang teh ka misa katang doeh, telah atipouh teh ahni koevah thapa yung touh ao.
15 Then said Laban to Jacob, Is it because my brother, thou art, that thou shouldst serve me for naught? Come tell me! What shall be thy wages?
Laban ni Jakop koevah, Ka minca lah na o dawkvah, aphu laipalah ka thaw na tawk han na maw. Bangmaw na poe han dei haw, telah atipouh.
16 Now, Laban, had two daughters, —the name of the elder, Leah, and the name of the younger, Rachel,
Laban ni canu kahni touh a tawn teh a camin teh Leah a phung, a cahnoung teh Rachel a phung.
17 But, the eyes of Leah were weak, —whereas, Rachel, was comely in form and comely in countenance.
Leah teh a mit roumkawt e lah ao. Hatei, Rachel teh a tungtang hoi a mei kahawi e tami lah ao.
18 So Jacob loved Rachel, —and he said, I will serve thee seven years, for Rachel thy younger daughter.
Jakop ni Rachel a ngai dawkvah, na canu kanaw e Rachel hanlah kum sari touh na thaw ka tawk han, telah atipouh.
19 And Laban said, Better that I give her to thee, than that I should give her to another man, —Abide with me!
Laban ni, ayâ alouke ka poe hlak teh nang na poe e heh ahawihnawn han doeh, kai koe awmh, telah atipouh.
20 So Jacob served for Rachel—seven years, —and they became, in his eyes, as single days, for his love to her.
Hatdawkvah, Jakop ni Rachel hanlah kum sari touh a thaw a tawk pouh, a lungpataw poung dawkvah hnin dawngdengca e patetlah a pouk.
21 Then said Jacob unto Laban: Come give me my wife, for fulfilled are my days, —that I may go in unto her.
Jakop ni Laban koe, ka ikhai thai nahanlah ka yu teh na poe leih, bangkongtetpawiteh, ahnintha teh akuep toe, telah atipouh.
22 So Laban gathered together all the men of the place and made a banquet,
Laban ni khoca pueng a pâkhueng teh bu canae pawi a sak.
23 And it came to pass in the evening, that he took Leah his daughter and brought her in unto him, —and he went in unto her.
Hahoi, kho a hmo nah a canu Leah a hrawi teh Jakop koevah a thak pouh teh a ikhai.
24 And Laban gave her Zilpah, his handmaid, unto Leah his daughter. as handmaid.
Laban ni a sannu Zilpah hah a canu Leah koevah san hanlah a poe.
25 And it came to pass in the morning, that lo! it was Leah, —and he said unto Laban, What is this thou hast done to me? Was it not, for Rachel, I served with thee? Wherefore then hast thou deceived me?
Khodai toteh, khenhaw! Leah lah a o, Jakop ni Laban koevah, ka lathueng vah na sak e heh bangmaw. Rachel ka yu nahanlah na thaw ka tawk hoeh na maw. Bangkongmaw na dum, telah atipouh.
26 And Laban said, It must not be done so in our place, —to give the later-born before the firstborn.
Laban ni, Ka ram dawk a hmau hoehnahlan a nawngha ceisak phung roeroe nahoeh.
27 Fulfil the week of this one, —then must we give thee, the other one also, for the service wherewith thou shalt serve with me, yet seven years more.
Hete napui hanlah hnin sari kuep sak ei, hahoi, kum sari touh ka thaw bout na tawk han e dawk alouknaw hai na poe han, telah atipouh e patetlah,
28 And Jacob did so, and fulfilled the week of this one, —and he gave him Rachel his daughter—to him to wife.
Jakop ni hottelah a sak teh hnin sari touh a kuep sak teh Laban ni a canu Rachel haiyah a yu hanlah a poe.
29 And Laban gave to Rachel his daughter Bilhah his handmaid, —to be hers as a handmaid.
Hahoi, Laban ni a sannu Bilhah hah a canu Rachel koevah a san hanlah a poe.
30 So he went in, unto Rachel also, and loved, Rachel also, more than Leah, —and he served with him, yet seven years more.
Rachel bout a ikhai. Leah hlakvah Rachel heh a lung hoe a pataw dawkvah, Laban e thaw kum sari touh bout a tawk pouh.
31 And, when Yahweh saw that Leah was hated, he granted her to bear children, —whereas, Rachel, was barren.
BAWIPA ni Leah teh lungpataw hoeh tie a panue dawkvah a thun a kamawng sak. Hatei, Rachel teh a carôe.
32 So Leah conceived, and bare a son, and called his name Reuben, —for she said, Because, Yahweh hath looked upon my humiliation, For, now, will my husband love me.
Leah teh camo a vawn teh ca tongpa a khe, a min lah Reuben a phung. Bangkongtetpawiteh, BAWIPA ni runae ka kâhmo e a panue. Hatdawkvah, atu teh ka vâ ni na lungpataw han toe, telah ati.
33 And she conceived again, and bare a son, and said. Because Yahweh heard that, I, was hated, he gave me, this one also. So she called his name Simeon.
Camo bout a vawn teh ca tongpa bout a khe. Kai na hnoun e BAWIPA ni a thai dawkvah, hete ca tongpa hai na poe telah ati teh Simeon telah min a phung.
34 And she conceived again and bare a son, and said, Now—this time, will my husband be bound unto me, For I have borne him three sons, —For this cause, called she his name Levi.
Camo bout a vawn teh ca tongpa bout a khe. Atu teh ca tongpa kathum touh ka khe pouh toe dawkvah, ka vâ ni na tha mahoeh toe, telah ati. Hatdawkvah, a min lah Levih a sak.
35 And she conceived again and bare a son, and said This time, will I praise Yahweh, For which cause, she called his name Judah. And she left off bearing.
Hahoi, camo bout a vawn teh ca tongpa bout a khe. Atu teh, BAWIPA ka pholen han, telah ati. Hatdawkvah, a min Judah a phung. Hahoi teh, camo khe hoeh toe.
