Genesis 28
1 Isaac called Jacob, blessed him, and commanded him, “You shall not take a wife of the daughters of Canaan.
Hatdawkvah, Isak ni Jakop hah a kaw teh yawhawinae a poe, tawngtang lawk a thui e teh, Kanaan canunaw thung e yu na lat mahoeh.
2 Arise, go to Paddan Aram, to the house of Bethuel your mother’s father. Take a wife from there from the daughters of Laban, your mother’s brother.
Thaw nateh Paddanaram ram dawk na manu e a na pa Bethuel im vah cet. Haw e na manu e a thangroi Laban canunaw thung dawk hoi na yu hah lat.
3 May God Almighty bless you, and make you fruitful, and multiply you, that you may be a company of peoples,
Bangpueng ka sak thai e Cathut ni yawhawi na poe naseh, miphun moi kapap lah na pung thai nahanlah ca catoun moi na tawn sak teh na pungdaw sak naseh.
4 and give you the blessing of Abraham, to you and to your offspring with you, that you may inherit the land where you travel, which God gave to Abraham.”
Imyin lah onae ram, Cathut ni Abraham koe a poe e heh na coe nahanlah Abraham yawhawinae teh na coe sak awh naseh, nang hoi na canaw hoi telah lawk a thui.
5 Isaac sent Jacob away. He went to Paddan Aram to Laban, son of Bethuel the Syrian, the brother of Rebekah, Jacob’s and Esau’s mother.
Hatdawkvah, Isak ni Jakop teh yout a ceisak teh, Paddanaram ram e Jakop hoi Esaw e manu Rebekah e a thangroi Syria tami Bethuel capa Laban koevah a cei.
6 Now Esau saw that Isaac had blessed Jacob and sent him away to Paddan Aram, to take him a wife from there, and that as he blessed him he gave him a command, saying, “You shall not take a wife of the daughters of Canaan;”
Isak ni Jakop hah yawhawi a poe teh a yu la hanlah Paddanaram ram lah a patoun. Yawhawi a poe nah Kanaan ram e tanglanaw yu lah na lat mahoeh telah lawk a thui.
7 and that Jacob obeyed his father and his mother, and was gone to Paddan Aram.
Jakop ni a manu hoi a na pa e lawk hah a ngai teh, Paddanaram ram dawk a cei.
8 Esau saw that the daughters of Canaan didn’t please Isaac, his father.
Kanaan ram e tangla naw ni a na pa Isak lungyouk sak hoeh toe tie a hmu navah,
9 So Esau went to Ishmael, and took, in addition to the wives that he had, Mahalath the daughter of Ishmael, Abraham’s son, the sister of Nebaioth, to be his wife.
Esaw ni Ishmael koevah a cei teh a tawn tangcoung a yunaw hloilah, Abraham capa Ishmael e canu Mahalath Nebaioth tawncanu hah a yu lah a la.
10 Jacob went out from Beersheba, and went toward Haran.
Jakop teh Beersheba hoi a kamthaw teh Haran lah a cei.
11 He came to a certain place, and stayed there all night, because the sun had set. He took one of the stones of the place, and put it under his head, and lay down in that place to sleep.
Hmuen buet touh koe a pha teh kanîloum toung dawkvah a roe. Talung buet touh hah a la teh lahoung lah a lahoung teh i hanlah a yan.
12 He dreamed and saw a stairway set upon the earth, and its top reached to heaven. Behold, the angels of God were ascending and descending on it.
Hahoi, mang a mang teh talai van khalai a kâdo teh a donghmo ni kalvan a pha. Hote khalai dawk Cathut e kalvantaminaw a kumluen awh.
13 Behold, the LORD stood above it, and said, “I am the LORD, the God of Abraham your father, and the God of Isaac. I will give the land you lie on to you and to your offspring.
A lathueng vah, BAWIPA a kangdue teh, Kai teh BAWIPA, na min Abraham e Cathut hoi Isak e Cathut lah ka o, na inae ram hah nang hoi na ca catounnaw ka poe han;
14 Your offspring will be as the dust of the earth, and you will spread abroad to the west, and to the east, and to the north, and to the south. In you and in your offspring, all the families of the earth will be blessed.
Na ca catounnaw teh talai e vaiphu yit touh a pha awh han. Kanîtho, kanîloum, atunglah, akalah na pungdaw awh han. Nang pawlawk dawk hoi miphunnaw pueng ni yawhawinae a hmu awh han.
15 Behold, I am with you, and will keep you, wherever you go, and will bring you again into this land. For I will not leave you until I have done that which I have spoken of to you.”
Khenhaw! nang koevah ka o. Na ceinae pueng koe na kountouk vaiteh, hete ram dawk bout na bankhai awh han. Nang koe ka dei e ka sak hoehnahlan pueng teh na cettakhai mahoeh telah ati.
16 Jacob awakened out of his sleep, and he said, “Surely the LORD is in this place, and I didn’t know it.”
Jakop ni a kâhlaw teh, hete hmuen koe BAWIPA teh ao roeroe ka panuek laipalah ka o, telah ati.
17 He was afraid, and said, “How awesome this place is! This is none other than God’s house, and this is the gate of heaven.”
Hatdawkvah, a taki teh, het hmuen heh takikatho e lah ao! hete heh hmuen alouke nahoeh, Cathut e im, kalvan longkha lah ao, telah ati. Jakop ni amom a thaw teh a lahoung e talung hah a lah teh talung lah a ung teh a van vah satui hah a awi.
18 Jacob rose up early in the morning, and took the stone that he had put under his head, and set it up for a pillar, and poured oil on its top.
Jakop ni amom a thaw teh a lahoung e talung hah a lah teh lungkhoung a ung teh, avan vah satui hah a awi.
19 He called the name of that place Bethel, but the name of the city was Luz at the first.
Hote hmuen hah Bethel telah a phung. Hote kho teh hmaloe vah Luz lah ao.
20 Jacob vowed a vow, saying, “If God will be with me, and will keep me in this way that I go, and will give me bread to eat, and clothing to put on,
Jakop ni, apa im dawk lungmawngcalah ka ban thai nahan, kai koe Cathut hah ao teh ka ceinae lam hah a ring teh,
21 so that I come again to my father’s house in peace, and the LORD will be my God,
ca han e vaiyei hoi kâkhu hane hni na poe boipawiteh, BAWIPA teh ka Cathut lah ao han.
22 then this stone, which I have set up for a pillar, will be God’s house. Of all that you will give me I will surely give a tenth to you.”
Hete talung ka ung e haiyah Cathut e im lah ao han, hahoi na poe hane naw pueng thung dawk hoi hra touh dawk buet touh teh na poe roeroe han, telah lawkkamnae hah a sak.
