< Genesis 30 >

1 When Rachel saw that she bore Jacob no children, Rachel envied her sister. She said to Jacob, “Give me children, or I will die.”
Rachel ni Jakop hanlah camo a khe pouh hoeh e a hmu toteh, a hmau hah a ut teh Jakop koe, Camo na poe, nahoeh pawiteh ka due han, telah atipouh.
2 Jacob's anger burned against Rachel. He said, “Am I in the place of God, who has kept you from having children?”
Jakop teh Rachel koe a lungkhuek teh, ca khe han ka pasoung hoeh e Cathut yueng lah maw ka o, telah ati.
3 She said, “See, there is my servant Bilhah. Sleep with her, so she might give birth to children on my knees, and I will have children by her.”
Napui ni, khenhaw! ka sannu Bilhah heh ipkhai nateh kai ni hai ahni koehoi camo ka tawn thai nahanlah, ka phai dawk camo a khe han, telah ati.
4 So she gave him her servant Bilhah as a wife, and Jacob slept with her.
Hatdawkvah, a sannu Bilhah teh a yu hanlah a poe teh Jakop ni a ikhai.
5 Bilhah conceived and bore Jacob a son.
Bilhah ni camo a vawn teh Jakop hanlah ca tongpa a khe pouh.
6 Then Rachel said, “God has vindicated me, and he has heard my voice and given me a son.” For this reason she called his name Dan.
Rachel ni, Cathut ni na pouk teh ka lawk hai a thai dawkvah, ca tongpa na poe, telah ati. Hatdawkvah, a min lah Dan a phung.
7 Bilhah, Rachel's servant, conceived again and bore Jacob a second son.
Rachel e a sannu teh camo bout a vawn teh Jakop hanlah ca tongpa apâhni bout a khe pouh.
8 Rachel said, “With mighty wrestlings have I wrestled with my sister and have prevailed.” She called his name Naphtali.
Rachel ni, ka hmau hoi kâthe teh ka tâ toe telah ati. Hatdawkvah, a min lah Naptali a phung.
9 When Leah saw that she had stopped having children, she took Zilpah, her servant, and gave her to Jacob as a wife.
Leah ni camo ka khe thai hoeh toe tie a kâpanue dawkvah, a sannu Zilpah hah a ceikhai teh a yu hanlah Jakop hah a poe.
10 Zilpah, Leah's servant, bore Jacob a son.
Hatdawkvah, Leah e a sannu, Zilpah ni camo tongpa Jakop hanlah a khe pouh.
11 Leah said, “This is fortunate!” so she called his name Gad.
Leah ni, a yawhawi, telah ati teh, a min lah Gad a phung.
12 Then Zilpah, Leah's servant, bore Jacob a second son.
Leah e a sannu Zilpah ni ca tongpa Jakop hanlah bout a khe pouh.
13 Leah said, “I am happy! For the daughters will call me happy.” So she called his name Asher.
Leah ni, Ka yaw ahawi, napuinaw ni a yaw kahawi poung katang e na ti pouh han, telah ati teh a min lah Asher a phung.
14 Reuben went in the days of wheat harvest and found mandrakes in the field. He brought them to his mother Leah. Then Rachel said to Leah, “Give me some of your son's mandrakes.”
Canga tue nah Reuben teh law vah a cei teh, hloisi hah a hmu teh a manu Leah koevah a thokhai. Hatdawkvah, Rachel ni Leah koevah, pahren lahoi na capa hloisi youn touh na poe haw, telah atipouh.
15 Leah said to her, “Is it a small matter to you, that you have taken away my husband? Do you now want to take away my son's mandrakes, too?” Rachel said, “Then he will sleep with you tonight, in exchange for your son's mandrakes.”
Ahni ni, ka vâ na lawp e heh hno tica e lah maw na pouk, ka capa hloisi totouh lawp han e na kâcai telah atipouh. Rachel ni, hat boi pawiteh, na capa e hloisi yueng lah atu tangmin na ikhai han, telah atipouh.
16 Jacob came from the field in the evening. Leah went out to meet him and said, “You must sleep with me tonight, for I have hired you with my son's mandrakes.” So Jacob slept with Leah that night.
Tangmin lah Jakop teh law hoi a tho teh, Leah ni a dawn hanlah a thaw teh, Na ikhai roeroe han, bangkongtetpawiteh, ka capa koe e hloisi heh ka hlai toe, telah ati dawkvah, hote tangmin teh a ikhai.
17 God listened to Leah, and she conceived and bore Jacob a fifth son.
Cathut ni Leah e ratoumnae hah a tarawi, camo a vawn teh Jakop hanlah ca tongpa panganae a khe pouh.
18 Leah said, “God has given me my wages, because I gave my servant woman to my husband.” She called his name Issachar.
Leah ni, Ka sannu hah ka vâ koe ka poe dawkvah, Cathut ni ka tawknae aphu hah na poe van, telah a titeh a min lah Issakhar a phung.
19 Leah conceived again and bore a sixth son to Jacob.
Leah ni, Camo bout a vawn teh Jakop hanlah ca tongpa ataruknae bout a khe pouh.
20 Leah said, “God has given me a good gift. Now my husband will honor me, because I have borne him six sons.” She called his name Zebulun.
Leah ni, Cathut ni kahawi poung e kamthoupnae hoi na pathoup, ka vâ hanelah ca tongpa taruk touh ka khe pouh toung dawkvah, kai koe ao han toe, telah a titeh a min lah Zebulun a phung.
21 Afterwards she bore a daughter and called her name Dinah.
Hathnukkhu, napuica bout a khe teh a min lah Dinah a phung.
22 God called Rachel to mind and listened to her. He caused her to become pregnant.
Cathut ni Rachel hah pahnim hoeh. Hatdawkvah, Cathut ni a ratoumnae a tarawi pouh teh, camo im a kamawng sak.
23 She conceived and bore a son. She said, “God has taken away my shame.”
Hahoi, camo a vawn teh ca tongpa a khe. Cathut ni ka min mathoenae na ramuk pouh, telah ati.
24 She called his name Joseph, saying, “Yahweh has added to me another son.”
Hahoi, BAWIPA ni capa alouke bout na poe ei naseh, a titeh a min lah Joseph a phung.
25 After Rachel had borne Joseph, Jacob said to Laban, “Send me away, so that I may go to my own home and to my country.
Rachel ni Joseph a khe hnukkhu hettelah ao. Jakop ni Laban koevah, ka onae ram lah ka ban thai nahanlah na cetsak leih.
26 Give me my wives and my children for whom I have served you, and let me go, for you know the service I have given you.”
Na thaw na tawk pouh toe. Hatdawkvah, ka yunaw hoi ka canaw na poe nateh na cetsak leih, bangkongtetpawiteh na thaw ka tawk e naw hah na panue, telah atipouh.
27 Laban said to him, “If now I have found favor in your eyes, wait, because I have learned by using divination that Yahweh has blessed me for your sake.”
Laban ni, Na pahren thai pawiteh, awm ei. Bangkongtetpawiteh, BAWIPA ni nang pawlawk dawk hoi yawhawinae na poe e hah ka mithmu vah ka panue, telah atipouh.
28 Then he said, “Name your wages, and I will pay them.”
Ama roeroe ni na hmu hane to nateh na poe han, telah ati.
29 Jacob said to him, “You know how I have served you, and how your livestock have fared with me.
Jakop ni ahni koevah, bangtelamaw na thaw ka tawk tie hoi na saring hah bangtelamaw kai koe ao ti hah na panue.
30 For you had little before I came, and it has increased abundantly. Yahweh has blessed you wherever I worked. Now when will I provide for my own household also?”
Ka tho hoehnahlan teh yitca doeh na tawnh, atuteh moikapap a kampung. Pek ka tho hoi BAWIPA ni yawhawinae hah na poe. Nâtuek maw ka imthungkhu hanelah thaw ka tawk van han telah ati.
31 So Laban said, “What will I pay you?” Jacob said, “You will not give me anything. If you will do this thing for me, I will again feed your flock and keep it.
Hatdawkvah ahni koe, bangmaw na poe han telah atipouh. Jakop ni, banghai na poe hanh. Hetheh na sak pouh boipawiteh, na saringnaw teh bout na khoum pouh han.
32 Let me walk through all your flock today, removing from it every speckled and spotted sheep, and every black one among the sheep, and the spotted and speckled among the goats. These will be my wages.
Sahnin vah tuhu, hmaehu, thung ka cei teh, tarakcak e hmaenaw, humtamang e tunaw pueng hah koung a kapek toe. Hathnukkhu ka tarakcak e hmae, humtamang e tunaw teh kai ni ka coe hane aphu lah ao han.
33 My integrity will testify for me later on, when you come to check on my wages. Every one that is not speckled and spotted among the goats, and black among the sheep, if any are found with me, will be considered to be stolen.”
Hatdawkvah, atotovah kaie tawkphu ka hmu hane teh na hmalah a pha to vah, ka lannae ni na pathung han doeh. Hmae thung dawk tarakcak lah a em ka pangaw hoeh e, a em kasawlah ka pangaw hoeh e, tu thung dawk ka tamang hoeh e kai koe na hmawt pawiteh, ka paru e lah na pouk han, telah atipouh.
34 Laban said, “Agreed. Let it be according to your word.”
Laban ni, Oe, na dei e patetlah tho lawiseh, telah ati.
35 That day Laban removed the male goats that were striped and spotted, and all the female goats that were speckled and spotted, every one that had white in it, and all the black ones among the sheep, and gave them into the hand of his sons.
Hot hnin totouh hoi, hmaetan tarakcak ni teh kasawlah a em kaawmnaw pueng hoi, Hmae manu tarakcak ni teh kasawlah a em kaawm e naw pueng, ka pangaw pueng hoi tu thung dawk ka tamangnaw pueng hah a kapek pouh teh a capanaw e a kut dawk a poe.
36 Laban also put three days' journey between himself and Jacob. So Jacob kept tending the rest of Laban's flocks.
Ahni hoi Jakop rahak vah hnin thum lamcei koe ao sak teh, Jakop ni Laban e saringnaw pueng hah bout a thak pouh.
37 Jacob took fresh cut branches of fresh poplar, and of the almond and of the plane tree, and peeled white streaks in them, and made the white inner wood appear that was in the sticks.
Jakop ni poplar hoi hazel hoi almond thing e akangnaw hah a la teh tarakcak lah a tarik.
38 Then he set the sticks that he had peeled in front of the flocks, in front of the watering troughs where they came to drink. They conceived when they came to drink.
Saringnaw ni tui ouk a neinae dokko hoi palang dawkvah, saringnaw e hmalah sonron hah a ta. Bangkongtetpawiteh, tui nei hanlah ouk a tho awh nah saring hah âvâ ouk a cu awh.
39 The flocks bred in front of the sticks; and the flocks produced striped, speckled, and spotted young.
Hatdawkvah, saring hah sonron teng âvâ ouk a cu nah, a em tarakcak lah ouk a khe.
40 Jacob separated out these lambs, but made the rest of them face toward the striped animals and all the black sheep in the flock of Laban. Then he separated out his flocks for himself alone and did not put them together with Laban's flocks.
Hahoi, Jakop ni tucanaw a kapek teh, Laban e saringhu thung dawk e a em kaawm hoi katamangnaw pueng koe lah a kangvawi sak. Amae saring hah a kapek teh Laban e saring hoi rei hrueng hoeh.
41 Whenever the stronger sheep in the flock were breeding, then Jacob would lay the sticks in the watering troughs before the eyes of the flock, so that they might conceive among the sticks.
Atha bet kaawm hnawn e saring âvâcu toteh, sonron hmalah âvâcu thai nahanlah, Jakop ni tui a lawngnae koe saringnaw e a hmaitung vah, sonron hah ouk a ta pouh.
42 But when the feebler animals in the flock came, he did not put the sticks in front of them. So the feebler animals were Laban's, and the stronger were Jacob's.
Hatei, saring hah kamsoe pawiteh tat pouh hoeh. Hottelah, ka kamsoe e a canaw teh Laban e lah ao teh, a tha bet kaawm e naw hah Jakop e lah ao.
43 The man became very prosperous. He had large flocks, female servants and male servants, and camels and donkeys.
Hatdawkvah, Jakop koe moi kapap lah a kampung teh saringhu moi kapap, sannu hoi sanpa naw hoi, kalauknaw hoi lanaw hah a tawn.
