Genesis 28
1 Isaac called Jacob, blessed him, and commanded him, “You must not take a wife from the Canaanite women.
Te dongah Isaak loh Jakob te a khue phoeiah yoethen a paek tih a uen vaengah, “Kanaan nu te na yuu la lo boeh.
2 Arise, go to Paddan Aram, to the house of Bethuel your mother's father, and take a wife from there, one of the daughters of Laban, your mother's brother.
Thoo, Padanaram kah na nu kah a napa Bethuel im la cet lamtah na nupu Laban canu te na yuu la lo.
3 May God Almighty bless you, make you fruitful and multiply you, so that you may become a multitude of peoples.
Pathen Tlungthang loh nang te yoethen m'paek vetih na pungtai uh phoeiah na ping uh vaengah pilnam hlangping la na om bitni.
4 May he give you the blessing of Abraham, to you, and to your descendants after you, that you may inherit the land where you have been living, which God gave to Abraham.”
Tedae Pathen loh Abraham taengah a paek tangtae Abraham kah yoethennah, na lampahnah kho he nang neh na tiingan loh na pang ham m'pae saeh” a ti nah.
5 So Isaac sent Jacob away. Jacob went to Paddan Aram, to Laban son of Bethuel the Aramean, the brother of Rebekah, Jacob's and Esau's mother.
Te phoeiah Isaak loh Jakob te a tueih tih Jakob neh Esau kah a manu Rebekah kah nganpa Laban, Paddanaram Arammi Bethuel capa taengla cet.
6 Now Esau saw that Isaac had blessed Jacob and sent him away to Paddan Aram, to take a wife from there. He also saw that Isaac had blessed him and given him a command, saying, “You must not take a wife from the women of Canaan.”
Tedae Isaak loh Jakob yoethen a paek tih a yuu aka lo ham Paddanaram la a tueih te khaw, Jakob te yoethen a paek vaengah Kanaan nu te na yuu la lo boeh a ti nah tih a uen te khaw Esau loh a hmuh.
7 Esau also saw that Jacob had obeyed his father and his mother, and had gone to Paddan Aram.
Jakob long khaw a napa neh a manu ol a ngai tih Paddanaram la cet.
8 Esau saw that the women of Canaan did not please Isaac his father.
Esau long khaw a napa Isaak kah mik ah Kanaan nu te thae tila a hmuh.
9 So he went to Ishmael, and took, besides the wives that he had, Mahalath the daughter of Ishmael, Abraham's son, the sister of Nebaioth, to be his wife.
Te dongah Esau loh Ishmael taengla cet tih a yuu rhoek hmanah Abraham capa Ishmael canu Mahalath, Nebaioth ngannu te a yuu la a loh.
10 Jacob left Beersheba and went toward Haran.
Te vaengah Jakob loh Beersheba lamloh cet tih Haran la pawk.
11 He came to a certain place and stayed there all night, because the sun had set. He took one of the stones in that place, put it under his head, and lay down in that place to sleep.
Tedae hmuen pakhat te a pha vaengah khomik vik tla tih pahoi rhaeh. Te vaengah te hmuen kah lungto a loh tih a lu a tloeng. Te phoeiah tekah hmuen ah yalh.
12 He dreamed and saw a stairway set up on the earth. Its top reached to heaven and the angels of God were ascending and descending on it.
Te vaengah mang a man hatah diklai ah kuihlak tarha doh uh tih a soi loh vaan duela a pha. A soah Pathen kah puencawn rhoek te tarha luei uh tih suntla uh.
13 Behold, Yahweh stood above it and said, “I am Yahweh, the God of Abraham your father, and the God of Isaac. The land on which you are lying, I will give to you and to your descendants.
Te vaengah anih taengah BOEIPA te lawt pai tih, “Kai na pa Abraham kah BOEIPA Pathen neh Isaak kah Pathen loh na yalh nah diklai he nang neh nang kah tiingan taengah kan paek ni.
14 Your descendants will be like the dust of the earth, and you will spread far out to the west, to the east, to the north, and to the south. Through you and through your descendants will all the families of the earth be blessed.
Nang kah tiingan tah diklai laipi bangla om vetih khothoeng tuitunli neh tuithim tlangpuei la na pungtai uh phoeiah nang neh nang tiingan rhang neh diklai huiko boeih loh a yoethen uh ni.
15 Behold, I am with you, and I will keep you wherever you go. I will bring you into this land again; for I will not leave you. I will do all that I have promised to you.”
Kai he nang taengah ka om tih na caeh nah boeih ah nang kan ngaithuen. Te dongah nang te he khohmuen la kam mael puei bitni. Nang taengah ka thui te ka saii hlan vaengah nang kan hnoo mahpawh,” a ti nah.
16 Jacob awoke out of his sleep, and he said, “Surely Yahweh is in this place, and I did not know it.”
Te dongah Jakob loh a ih lamkah a haenghang vaengah, “Hekah hmuen ah BOEIPA loh rhep om dae kai loh ka ming pawh “a ti.
17 He was afraid and said, “How terrifying is this place! This is none other than the house of God. This is the gate of heaven.”
Tedae a rhih tih, “Hekah hmuen he rhih ham om tih Pathen kah im neh vaan vongka pawt atah a tloe moenih he “a ti.
18 Jacob arose early in the morning and took the stone that he had put under his head. He set it up as a pillar and poured oil upon the top of it.
Jakob loh mincang a thoh vaengah a lu kah a khueh lungto te a loh tih kaam a ling phoeiah a so ah situi a bueih.
19 He called the name of that place Bethel, but the name of the city originally was Luz.
Te dongah tekah khopuei ming te lamhma ah Luz la om dae hatah tekah hmuen ming te Bethel la a khue.
20 Jacob vowed a vow, saying, “If God will be with me and will protect me on this road on which I am walking, and will give me bread to eat, and clothes to wear,
Te phoeiah Jakob loh olcaeng neh a caeng tih, “Pathen loh kai taengah om tih he longpuei ah ka caeh vanbangla, kai n'dawndah phoeiah caak ham buh neh bai ham himbai te kai m'paek bal tih,
21 so that I return safely to my father's house, then Yahweh will be my God.
a pa im ah sading la ka bal atah BOEIPA te kai kah Pathen la om ni.
22 Then this stone that I have set up as a pillar will be a sacred stone. From everything that you give me, I will surely give a tenth back to you.”
Te phoeiah hekah lungto kaam la ka ling he Pathen kah im la poeh vetih kai nan paek boeih te namah ham parha pakhat la kan paek ni,” a ti.
