Genesis 30
1 Rachel realized that she was not becoming pregnant and giving birth to any children for Jacob. So she became jealous of her older sister, Leah, because Leah had given birth to four sons. She said to Jacob, “Enable me to become pregnant and give birth to children. If you do not do that, I [think I will]!”
Hichun Rachel'in Jacob cha ahinpeh lou akihet chet phat in a sopinu athangset pin, hijeh chun Jacob komma atao tan, “Keijong cha le nao nei hinpeh in achuti loule keima thi ding ka nom jotai atin ahi.”
2 Jacob became angry with Rachel and said, “(I am not God!/Am I God?) [RHQ] He is the one who has prevented you from becoming pregnant!”
Jacob chu Rachel chunga alung hang jah jeng in, “Keima Pathen ka hipoi ama ahi cha nei louva na koi, na naobu khah tan achu,” ati.
3 Then she said, “Look, here is my female slave, Bilhah. (Sleep with/Have sex with) [EUP] her, so that she may become pregnant and give birth to children for me. In that way it will be as though (I have children/her children are mine).”
Hichun Rachel in adonbut in, “Kasohnu Bilhah hi galup khompi tan, chutile amanun nao eihin peh intin chua konna chu keiman jong ka chilhah insung kaki semdoh thei ding ahi,” ati.
4 So she gave him her slave, Bilhah, to be another wife for him, and Jacob had sex [EUP] with her.
Rachel in Bilhah asohnu chu Jacob ji din apetai chuin Jacob'in Bilhah chu akitimat pitai.
5 She became pregnant and bore Jacob a son.
Bilhah in nao ahinvop'in Jacob ding in chapa khat ahin peh tai.
6 Rachel said, “God has (vindicated me/judged my case and has decided that what I have done is right). He has also heard my requests and has given me a son.” So she named him Dan, [which sounds like the Hebrew word that means ‘he judged’].
Hichun Rachel in aseiye, “Pathen in ka lunggel eisu bulhit pehtai, chule katao na jong eisan peh in chapa eipe tai atin hijeh chun naosen min chu Dan asahtai.”
7 Later, Rachel’s slave Bilhah became pregnant again and gave birth to another son for Jacob.
Chuin Rachel sohnu Bilhah chun nao avop kit in Jacob chapa anina ahin peh kittai.
8 Then Rachel said, “I have had a great struggle to have children like my older sister, but truly I have a son.” So she named him Naphtali, [which sounds like the Hebrew word that means ‘struggle’].
Hichun Rachel'in, “Keiman ka sopinu toh hatah a kaki set delna lhon a keiman kajou tai,” atin hichun naosen min chu Napthali asah tai.
9 When Leah realized that she was not becoming pregnant and giving birth to any more children, she took her female slave, Zilpah, and gave her to Jacob to be another wife for him.
Leah in nao aneikit tah lou ding ahin kihet doh phat in asohnu Zilpah chu ji din ape tai.
10 Zilpah soon became pregnant and gave birth to a son for Jacob.
Hijeh chun Leah sohnu Zilpah chun Jacob ding in chapa khat ahin pehtai.
11 Leah said, “I am truly fortunate!” So she named him Gad, [which means ‘fortunate’].
Hichun Leah in hitin aseiye, “Hamphat aum bouve,” atin naosen min chu “Gad” asah tai. Hichun avetsah chu, keima iti vangphat kahi hitam tina ahi.
12 Later Leah’s slave, Zilpah, gave birth to another son for Jacob.
Hichun Leah sohnu Zilpah chun Jacob chapa anina chu ahin peh kitin ahi.
13 Leah said, “Now I am very happy, and people will call me happy.” So she named him Asher, [which means ‘happy].’
Leah chun aseiye, “Keiya din iti thanop um hitam, tua hi numei dang jousen hatah a eiki papi diu ahitai,” atin hiche naosen min chu Asher asah tai.
14 When it was time to harvest wheat, Reuben went out into the fields and saw some (mandrakes/plants that women eat to help them to become pregnant). He brought some of them to his mother Leah. But Rachel saw them and said to Leah, “Please give me some of those plants that your son brought to you!”
Nikhat Reuben chu suhlou chang vohlai in akon in ahile loulai achun Joldei-Ai (Mandrake) amun anu Leah ahin poh peh in ahile, hichun Rachel in Leah koma “lungset tah in na chapa Joldei-Ai hinpoh chu kei jong nei hom thei ding ham tin athum tai.”
15 But Leah said to her, “No! (It was bad that you stole my husband!/Is it not bad enough that you stole my husband?) [RHQ] Now (are you going to take my son’s mandrake plants?/You want to take my son’s mandrake plants also, [so that you can become pregnant]!)” [RHQ] So Rachel said, “All right, Jacob can sleep with you tonight, if you give me some of your son’s mandrake plants.” [So Leah (agreed/gave her some)].
Hinlah Leah in Rachel jah a “Ka inneipu neilah peh jong thil neocha na bola, tua jong kachapa Joldei-Ai hinpoh jong lahpeh ding neiti ham?” atile Rachel in adonbut in, “Chuti ahile nachapa Joldei-Ai poh man ding in tujan Jacob'in nangma na lupkhompi thei nante,” ati.
16 When Jacob returned from the wheat fields that evening, Leah went out to meet him. She said, “You must sleep with me tonight, because I gave Rachel some of my son’s mandrakes [that enable women to become pregnant], to pay her for allowing us to do that.” So Jacob slept with her that night.
Hiche nilhah chun Jacob phailei lama kona ahung ki nungle phat in Leah achen aga kimu pin, “Tujan hi keima toh ilupkhom ding ahi, Ajeh chu tujan adinga ka chapan nao neitheina hinpoh a tujana dinga ka choh na hitai,” hichun Jacob chu hiche jan chun Leah to ageh lhontai.
17 God answered Leah’s prayers, and she became pregnant and bore a fifth son to Jacob.
Pathen in Leah taona chu asan pehtan, nao ahin voptan Jacob chapa nga lhinna ahin neipeh tai.
18 Leah said, “God has rewarded me for giving my slave to my husband to be another wife for him.” So she named him Issachar, [which sounds like the Hebrew word that means ‘reward’].
Hichun Leah in asei tan, “ka sohnu chu kajipa ka pehdoh jeh in Pathen in ka choh doh man eipe tai,” atin hichun naosen min chu Issachar asah tan ahi.
19 Leah became pregnant again and bore a sixth son for Jacob.
Chujouvin jong Leah chun nao avop kit'in Jacob ding in chapa gup lhinna ahin peh kit tai.
20 Leah said, “God has given me a precious gift. (This time/Now) my husband will honor/respect me, because I have given birth to six sons for him.” So she named him Zebulon, [which sounds like the Hebrew word that means ‘accepted gift’].
Hichun Leah in asei tan, “Pathen in keima numei thilken phatah tah eiken peh tai, tuapat'in kaji pan ngailutna sangtah einei ding ahi tai, ajeh chu chapa gup kaneipeh tai,” hichun amanun naosen min chu Zebulun asah tai.
21 Later she gave birth to a daughter, and named her Dinah.
Ahin phat chomkhat jouvin nao numei khat ahingin amin chu Dinah asah in ahi.
22 Then God thought about what Rachel wanted. He heard her prayers and enabled her to become pregnant.
Hichun Pathen in Rachel chu asumil pon Pathen in ataona asanpeh in anaobu chu ahon pehtai.
23 She became pregnant and gave birth to a son. She said, “God has caused that no longer will I be ashamed [for not having children].”
Hijeh chun Rachel in jong nao ahin vop'in chapa khat ahin neitai; hichun Rachel in hitin aseiye, “Pathen in kaja chatna jouse asubeitai,” ati.
24 She named him Joseph, [which sounds like the Hebrew words that mean ‘may he give another’] and she said, ‘want Yahweh to give me another son.’
Rachel'in anao min chu Joseph asah in hitin aseiye, “Pakaiyin chapa dang khat jong eihin sah kit teitei hen o!” ati.
25 After Rachel had given birth to Joseph, Jacob said to Laban, “Now allow me to quit working for you and let me return to my own land.
Rachel in Joseph ahin neijou phat chun, Jacob in Laban koma asei tai, “Nei nungsol tan kagam lang uva,” ati.
26 You know the work that I have done for you [for a long time to get my wives]. So let me take my wives and my children, and leave.”
Kajite kachate neipe dohtan phat sottah nangma in alhachan ka pangtan, tua hi keima ki nungle phat ahung hitai, chule ito banga nangma na katoh peh nahim nangman nakihet nai ati.
27 But Laban said to him, “If you are pleased with me, stay here, because I have found out by performing a magic ritual that Yahweh has blessed me because of what you have done for me.
Ahin Laban in Jacob jah a aseiye, “Ahithei dingle lungset tah in neida lha hih in ajeh chu nangma ka insunga na hung lutna pat in Pathen in phatthei eiboh lheh jeng in ahi.
28 Tell me what you want me to pay you for continuing to work for me, and that is what I will pay you.”
Chule Jacob in asei in, natoh man ding ijat ham neisei peh tan keiman kapeh ding nahi ati.
29 Jacob replied, “You know how I have worked for you, and you know that your livestock have increased greatly as I have taken care of them.
Chuin Jacob in adonbut in, “Nangman na henai itobanga nangma na katoh a na gancha ho hung pung thei ham?” ati.
30 You had only a few animals before I came here. But now you have very many, and Yahweh has caused them to increase greatly in number wherever I have taken them. But now I need to start taking care of the needs of my own family.”
“Ajeh chu keima ka hung masang chun themcha bou na neijin tun apung jal tan, Pathen in hatah in phatthei na boh tan ahi. Ahile itih phat hi ding ham? keima insunga ding katoh na ding,” ati.
31 Laban replied, “What do you want me to give you?” Jacob replied, “I do not want you to pay me anything. But if you will do this one thing for me, I will continue to take care of your flocks and protect them.
Chule Laban in adong kitin, “Ipiba ka peh ding ham? Jacob'in aseiye, Imacha neipe hih in, ahin thil khat neibol peh le chun keiman nagancha na vettup peh nang'e ati.
32 Allow me to go and look at all of your flocks today and remove from them all the speckled sheep, all the spotted sheep, and every dark-colored lamb, all the goats that are speckled, and all the goats that are spotted, [and keep them for myself]. They will be my wages.
Tun keiman na gancha kelngoi ho ga khol sohkei jing ting, amaho lah achun apol jouse hin lheng doh inting, chule keltah ho laha jong apol thim hihen hapol apol jouse hin lheng doh ingting, hichengse chu keima natoh man in neibol pehtan ati.
33 In that way, in the future, you will be able to know whether I have been honest regarding what you have paid me. If any of my goats are neither speckled or spotted, or if any of my lambs are not dark-colored, you will know that I have stolen them from you.”
Khonung teng kana toh man sutoh dinga nahung teng ka kitah na nahin muchen thei na dingin, kelchate lah a apol lou hihen, ha pol a pol lou akimu doh khah a, kelngoi lah a jong apol lou khattou aum khah a ahile hiche ho se chu nangma akona kaguh a kisim jeng thei ding ahi,” ati.
34 Laban agreed and said, “Okay, we will do as you have said.”
Hichun Laban in adonbut in, “Apha lheh jeng'e nangman nasei bang chu himai tahen,” ati.
35 But that same day Laban removed all the male goats that had black and white stripes on them or were spotted, and all the female goats that were speckled or spotted, all the goats that were partly white, and all the dark-colored lambs. He separated them and told his sons to take care of them.
Hinlah Laban in hiche nikho ma ma chun kelcha achal asandup apol, chule abeh beh a kang kelcha anu apol ho, chule kelngoi avom ho jouse chu achapa koma abon'in agathah doh sah sohkei in ahi.
36 Then he took these flocks and walked a distance of three days, in order that he could be that far from Jacob. Jacob continued to take care of the rest of Laban’s flocks.
Hichun aman Jacob to nithum jen lampi a kigam lat'in asol mangtai, chule Jacob in Laban gancha aki thah lou jouse chu aching jom jing tan ahi.
37 Then Jacob cut some branches of (poplar, almond, and plane trees/three kinds of trees that had white wood). He peeled strips of bark from the branches, so that where the bark had been peeled off, the branches were light in color.
Chuin Jacob in Almond le Shiga phung bah ho chu amal ngim in hiche thingbah avel akang lai ho chu kelcha ho amusah in ahi.
38 Then he placed the peeled branches in the troughs where they put the water for the animals to drink, so that the branches would be in front of the flocks when they came to drink.
Hichun Jacob in thingbah amal ngim hon chu kelngoi ho twi donna konga akoiyin, kelngoite twichip dinga ahung ji teng ule kijang matji ahi jeh uva akoi ahi.
39 The animals also mated in front of the branches, and eventually they gave birth to animals that were speckled, or to animals that were spotted, or to animals that had black and white stripes on them.
Kelngoi ho chu thingbah akang lai masanga chu ki jang mat ji, chuteng chule kelngoite chun akang pol jong, hapol a pol jong ahin hing doh doh tauve.
40 Furthermore, Jacob separated the female sheep in his flock from the other sheep and goats in Laban’s flock. And when his female sheep mated, he made them look toward the animals that belonged to Laban that had black and white stripes on them, and the dark-colored animals. He did that so that the female sheep would give birth to animals that were striped or dark-colored. By doing that, he made bigger flocks for himself, and he kept them separate from Laban’s flocks.
Jacob in kelngoi ho chu ahoikhen in Laban kelngoi hon lah a akangpol ho leh avom ho chu ahoikhen in ama chan ding chengse chu atum in akhen doh in, Laban a lah achun ahoi lut tapoi.
41 In addition, whenever the stronger female sheep were ready to mate, Jacob put some of those peeled branches in the troughs in front of them, so that they would mate in front of the branches.
Hiti chun kelngoi lah a asapha ho chu aki jang mat teng ule thingbah ho amu uva, aki jang mat theina ding uvin Jacob in jong thingbah ho amasang uva twi lonna kom laiya aga jam peh jin ahi.
42 But when weak animals were ready to mate, he did not put the branches in their troughs. So the weak ones became part of Laban’s flock, and the strong ones became part of Jacob’s flock.
Hinlah Jacob'in kelngoi atahsa phalou ho ahi tengle aga jamle jipoi, ajeh chu Laban a chu asapha lou jeng ahin, Jacob a vang chu asapha jeng ahiuve.
43 As a result, Jacob became very rich. He owned many large flocks of sheep and goats, and many male and female slaves, and many camels and donkeys.
Hijeh chun Jacob chu ahung hao thei lheh tan, kelngoi tamtah ahin neitan, soh numei ahin soh pasal ahin tamtah aneiyin, chule sangan le sangangsao jong tamtah anei doh tai.
