Genesis 31
1 And he heareth the words of Laban's sons, saying, 'Jacob hath taken all that our father hath; yea, from that which our father hath, he hath made all this honour;'
Laban ih caanawk mah, Pa ih hmuennawk boih Jakob mah lak king pongah, vaihi anih loe hmuenmaenawk hoi angraeng boeh, tiah thuih ih lok to Jakob mah thaih.
2 and Jacob seeth the face of Laban, and lo, it is not with him as heretofore.
Jakob mah Laban to khet naah, canghni ih baktiah mikhmai pan ai boeh, tito panoek.
3 And Jehovah saith unto Jacob, 'Turn back unto the land of thy fathers, and to thy kindred, and I am with thee.'
Angraeng mah Jakob khaeah, Nam pa ohhaih prae hoi nangmah ih acaeng kaminawk khaeah amlaem ah; kai mah kang oh thuih han hmang, tiah a naa.
4 And Jacob sendeth and calleth for Rachel and for Leah to the field unto his flock;
To pongah Jakob mah tuutoephaih ahmuen ah a zu Rachel hoi Leah to hoih hanah kami to patoeh.
5 and saith to them, 'I am beholding your father's face — that it is not towards me as heretofore, and the God of my father hath been with me,
Nihnik khaeah, Nam pa ih mikhmai ka khet naah, canghni ih baktiah om ai boeh, tiah ka panoek; toe kam pa ih Sithaw mah ang oh thuih poe.
6 and ye — ye have known that with all my power I have served your father,
Ka thacakhaih boih hoiah nam pa ih tok ka sak, tito nang panoek hoi.
7 and your father hath played upon me, and hath changed my hire ten times; and God hath not suffered him to do evil with me.
Toe nam pa mah kai ang ling, ka toksakhaih atho doeh vai hato ang ling; toe kai pacaekthlaek hanah Sithaw mah pakaa pae.
8 'If he say thus: The speckled are thy hire, then bare all the flock speckled ones; and if he say thus: The ring-streaked are thy hire, then bare all the flock ring-streaked;
Anih mah, aem kaom tuunawk loe na toksakhaih atho ah om nasoe, tiah a thuih, to naah tuunawk loe aem oh o boih; rong kangdaek tuunawk loe ka toksakhaih atho ah om nasoe, tiah a thuih, to naah doeh tuunawk loe rong kangdaek ah tapen boih.
9 and God taketh away the substance of your father, and doth give to me.
To pongah Sithaw mah nam pa ih tuunawk to lak moe, kai han ang paek boeh.
10 'And it cometh to pass at the time of the flock conceiving, that I lift up mine eyes and see in a dream, and lo, the he-goats, which are going up on the flock, [are] ring-streaked, speckled, and grisled;
Tuunawk apa cuukhaih tue phak moe, ka khet naah, tuu taenawk loe aem kaom tuu amnonawk khaeah ni apa cuuk o, tiah amang ah ka hnuk.
11 and the messenger of God saith unto me in the dream, Jacob, and I say, Here [am] I.
Sithaw ih van kami mah amang ah kai khaeah, Jakob, tiah ang kawk. Kai mah, Haeah ka oh, tiah ka naa.
12 'And He saith, Lift up, I pray thee, thine eyes, and see — all the he-goats which are going up on the flock [are] ring-streaked, speckled, and grisled, for I have seen all that Laban is doing to thee;
To naah anih mah, Danh tahang ah, Tuu taenawk loe aem kaom, rong kangdaek tuu amnonawk khae khue ah ni apa cuuk o; Laban mah na nuiah sak ih hmuennawk to ka hnuk boih.
13 I [am] the God of Bethel where thou hast anointed a standing pillar, where thou hast vowed a vow to me; now, arise, go out from this land, and turn back unto the land of thy birth.'
Kai loe thlung na thling moe, situi na bawh pacoengah, kai khaeah lokkamhaih na sak ih, Bethel hmuen ih Sithaw ah ka oh; vaihi angthawk ah, hae prae hae caehtaak ah loe, na caeng kaminawk ohhaih prae ah amlaem ah, tiah ang thuih, tiah a naa.
14 And Rachel answereth — Leah also — and saith to him, 'Have we yet a portion and inheritance in the house of our father?
To naah Rachel hoi Leah mah anih khaeah, Kam pa im ah kaihnik mah toep han koi qawk hoi taham timaw ka tawn hoi?
15 have we not been reckoned strangers to him? for he hath sold us, and he also utterly consumeth our money;
Kaihnik hae prae kalah kami ah a poek, kaihnik hae zawh khue ai ah, kaihnik han paek tangcae hmuen mataeng doeh ang patoh pae king na ai maw?
16 for all the wealth which God hath taken away from our father, it [is] ours, and our children's; and now, all that God hath said unto thee — do.'
Pa khae hoi Sithaw mah lak ih hmuennawk boih loe, aicae hoi aimacae caanawk ih hmuen ah ni oh boeh; to pongah vaihi Sithaw mah ang thuih ih baktih toengah sah ah, tiah a naa hoi.
17 And Jacob riseth, and lifteth up his sons and his wives on the camels,
To pacoengah Jakob loe angthawk moe, a caanawk hoi a zu hnik to kaengkuu hrang nuiah angthuengsak.
18 and leadeth all his cattle, and all his substance which he hath acquired, the cattle of his getting, which he hath acquired in Padan-Aram, to go unto Isaac his father, to the land of Canaan.
Padan Aram ah oh naah, a hak ih hmuennawk boih, pacah ih moinawk to a hoih boih moe, ampa Issak ohhaih Kanaan prae ah caeh o.
19 And Laban hath gone to shear his flock, and Rachel stealeth the teraphim which her father hath;
Laban loe angmah ih tuu amui aah hanah caeh, to naah Rachel mah sakcop ih ampa imthung ih sithaw krangnawk to paquk pae ving.
20 and Jacob deceiveth the heart of Laban the Aramaean, because he hath not declared to him that he is fleeing;
Jakob mah ka cawnh ving han boeh, tiah thui pae ai, Syria kami Laban to tamquta hoiah a caehtaak.
21 and he fleeth, he and all that he hath, and riseth, and passeth over the River, and setteth his face [toward] the mount of Gilead.
To pongah anih loe a tawnh ih hmuennawk boih hoiah a cawnh; angthawk moe, vapui angkat o pacoengah, Gilead mae bangah a caeh o.
22 And it is told to Laban on the third day that Jacob hath fled,
Jakob cawnh ving boeh, tito Laban mah ni thumto naah thaih.
23 and he taketh his brethren with him, and pursueth after him a journey of seven days, and overtaketh him in the mount of Gilead.
Angmah ih nawkamyanawk to kawk moe, ni sarihto thung anih to patom o, anih to Gilead maeah kae o.
24 And God cometh in unto Laban the Aramaean in a dream of the night, and saith to him, 'Take heed to thyself lest thou speak with Jacob from good unto evil.'
Syria kami Laban ih amang ah Sithaw to amtueng pae; Jakob khaeah kasae doeh kahoih doeh, lokthuih han ai ah acoe ah, tiah a naa.
25 And Laban overtaketh Jacob; and Jacob hath fixed his tent in the mount; and Laban with his brethren have fixed [theirs] in the mount of Gilead.
Laban mah nihcae to kae naah, Jakob loe Gilead mae ah kahni im a sak boeh; Laban hoi angmah ih nawkamyanawk doeh Gilead mae ah im to sak o.
26 And Laban saith to Jacob, 'What hast thou done that thou dost deceive my heart, and lead away my daughters as captives of the sword?
Laban mah Jakob khaeah, Tipongah hae tiah na oh loe? Kai hae nang ling moe, ka canu hnik doeh misa mah sumsen hoi pahuem moe, naeh ih kami baktiah, na caeh haih ving loe?
27 Why hast thou hidden thyself to flee, and deceivest me, and hast not declared to me, and I send thee away with joy and with songs, with tabret and with harp,
Tipongah kai nang ling moe, tamquta hoi na cawnh ving loe? Nang thuih soe nahaeloe, anghoehaih laa to sak moe, cingceng bohhaih, katoeng kruekhaih hoiah kang prawt han bae, tikhoe nang thui ai loe? tiah a naa.
28 and hast not suffered me to kiss my sons and my daughters? — now thou hast acted foolishly in doing [so];
Tipongah ka caanawk hoi ka canunawk doeh nang moksak ai loe? Amthuhaih hoiah ni hae hmuen hae na sak.
29 my hand is to God to do evil with you, but the God of your father yesternight hath spoken unto me, saying, Take heed to thyself from speaking with Jacob from good unto evil.
Nang han nganbawh kana kang paek thaih; toe cangduem aqum ah nam pa ih Sithaw mah kai khaeah, Kahoih doeh kasae doeh, Jakob khae lokthuih han ai ah acoe ah, tiah ang thuih pongah ni.
30 'And now, thou hast certainly gone, because thou hast been very desirous for the house of thy father; why hast thou stolen my gods?'
Vaihi loe nam pa im to na poek boeh pongah, na caeh han angaih boeh; tikhoe kai ih sithawnawk to na paquk loe? tiah a naa.
31 And Jacob answereth and saith to Laban, 'Because I was afraid, for I said, Lest thou take violently away thy daughters from me;
Jakob mah Laban khaeah, Na canu hnik hae tha hoi nang lomh ving tih, tiah ka poek moe, ka zit pong ni, tiah a naa.
32 with whomsoever thou findest thy gods — he doth not live; before our brethren discern for thyself what [is] with me, and take to thyself:' and Jacob hath not known that Rachel hath stolen them.
Toe nang ih sithaw paqu kami na hnuk nahaeloe, anih to hing hmah nasoe; nang ih hmuen ka lak o moeng nahaeloe, aicae nawkamyanawk hmaa roe ah la ah, tiah a naa. Toe Rachel mah sakcop ih sithawnawk paquk pae ving, tito Jakob mah panoek ai.
33 And Laban goeth into the tent of Jacob, and into the tent of Leah, and into the tent of the two handmaidens, and hath not found; and he goeth out from the tent of Leah, and goeth into the tent of Rachel.
To pongah Laban loe Jakob ih kahni im, Leah ih kahni im hoi anih ih tamna nongpata hnik ih kahni imthung ah akunh, toe tidoeh hnu ai; Leah ih kahni imthung hoi tacawt pacoengah, Rachel ih kahni imthung ah akun let.
34 And Rachel hath taken the teraphim, and putteth them in the furniture of the camel, and sitteth upon them; and Laban feeleth all the tent, and hath not found;
Rachel mah ampa imthung ih sithawnawk to lak moe, kaengkuu khrang khukhaih kahni thungah pacaeng, to pacoengah a nuiah anghnut thuih khoep. Laban loe kahni imthung ih hmuennawk to pakrong boih, toe tidoeh hnu ai.
35 and she saith unto her father, 'Let it not be displeasing in the eyes of my lord that I am not able to rise at thy presence, for the way of women [is] on me;' and he searcheth, and hath not found the teraphim.
Rachel mah ampa khaeah, Ka angraeng, na hmaa ah kangdoe thai ai pongah palungphuisak hmah; athii ka hnuk pongah ni, tiah a naa. Anih loe sakcop ih krangnawk to pakrong, toe hnu ai.
36 And it is displeasing to Jacob, and he striveth with Laban; and Jacob answereth and saith to Laban, 'What [is] my transgression? what my sin, that thou hast burned after me?
To naah Jakob loe palungphui moe, Laban to zoeh; tih sakpazaehaih maw ka tawnh? Tih zaehaih maw ka sak moe, nang patom? tiah a naa.
37 for thou hast felt all my vessels: what hast thou found of all the vessels of thy house? set here before my brethren, and thy brethren, and they decide between us both.
Kai ih hmuennawk to na pakrong boih boeh; na imthung ih hmuen timaw na hnuk? Nam nawk amyanawk hoi kai ih kaminawk hmaa ah suem ah, mi maw katoeng, tito nihcae mah aihnik salakah lokcaek nasoe.
38 'These twenty years I [am] with thee: thy ewes and thy she-goats have not miscarried, and the rams of thy flock I have not eaten;
Nang khaeah saning pumphaeto ka oh; nang ih tuunawk hoi maehnawk a caa zun o vai ai; nang ih tuu tae maeto mataeng doeh ka caa vai ai.
39 the torn I have not brought in unto thee — I, I repay it — from my hand thou dost seek it; I have been deceived by day, and I have been deceived by night;
Nang ih tuunawk to moisannawk mah kaek vai ai; kanghmaa tuu to kai mah ka rong; khoving ah maw, khodai ah maw, tuunawk anghmat naah kai khaeah atho nang suk.
40 I have been [thus]: in the day consumed me hath drought, and frost by night, and wander doth my sleep from mine eyes.

41 'This [is] to me twenty years in thy house: I have served thee fourteen years for thy two daughters, and six years for thy flock; and thou changest my hire ten times;
To tiah na im ah saning pumphaeto thung ka oh; na canu hnik hanah saning hatlai palito thung tok kang sak pae moe, saning tarukto thung na pacah ih moinawk to kang toep pae, ka toksakhaih atho vai hato nang ling.
42 unless the God of my father, the God of Abraham, and the Fear of Isaac, had been for me, surely now empty thou hadst sent me away; mine affliction and the labour of my hands hath God seen, and reproveth yesternight.'
Kai khaeah kam pa ih Sithaw, Abraham ih Sithaw, Issak mah zit ih Sithaw om ai nahaeloe, bangkrai ah ni nang patoeh tangtang tih; toe Sithaw mah patangkhanghaih hoi ka ban mah sak ih tok to ang hnuk pae pongah ni, cangduem qum ah nang to ang thuitaek, tiah a naa.
43 And Laban answereth and saith unto Jacob, 'The daughters [are] my daughters, and the sons my sons, and the flock my flock, and all that thou art seeing [is] mine; and to my daughters — what do I to these to-day, or to their sons whom they have born?
Laban mah Jakob khaeah, Hae nongpata hnik loe ka canu ni; hae nawktanawk doeh ka caa ni, hae ih moinawk doeh kai ih ni; na hnuk ih hmuennawk boih doeh kai ih ni; toe vaihniah ka canu hnik hoi nihnik mah sak hoi ih caanawk doeh kawbang maw ka naa thai tih boeh?
44 and now, come, let us make a covenant, I and thou, and it hath been for a witness between me and thee.'
To pongah vaihi angzo ah loe, nang hoi kai salakah lokmaihaih to sah si; to lokmaihaih loe nang hoi kai salakah hnukung ah om nasoe, tiah a naa.
45 And Jacob taketh a stone, and lifteth it up [for] a standing pillar;
To pongah Jakob mah thlung to lak moe, tung ah a thling.
46 and Jacob saith to his brethren, 'Gather stones,' and they take stones, and make a heap; and they eat there on the heap;
Jakob mah angmah ih nawkamyanawk khaeah, Thlung to a laksak; nihcae mah thlung to sinh pae o moe, pakhueng o pacoengah, pakhueng ih thlung nuiah buh a caak o.
47 and Laban calleth it Jegar-Sahadutha; and Jacob hath called it Galeed.
To a hmuen to Laban mah Jegar Sahadutha, tiah ahmin paek; toe Jakob mah loe Galeed, tiah ahmin sak.
48 And Laban saith, 'This heap [is] witness between me and thee to-day;' therefore hath he called its name Galeed;
Laban mah, Vaihniah haeah pakhueng ih thlung loe nang hoi kai hnukung ah oh boeh, tiah a naa. To pongah to ahmuen to Galeed, tiah kawk o.
49 Mizpah also, for he said, 'Jehovah doth watch between me and thee, for we are hidden one from another;
Aihnik loe maeto hoi maeto kangthla ah oh hoi naah doeh, Sithaw mah toep poe nasoe, tiah a thuih pongah, Mizpah, tiah doeh kawk o.
50 if thou afflict my daughters, or take wives beside my daughters — there is no man with us — see, God [is] witness between me and thee.'

51 And Laban saith to Jacob, 'Lo, this heap, and lo, the standing pillar which I have cast between me and thee;
To pacoengah Laban mah Jakob khaeah, Khenah, kai hoi nang salakah sak ih, haeah pakhueng ih thlung hoi tung ah thling ih thlung hae oh.
52 this heap [is] witness, and the standing pillar [is] witness, that I do not pass over this heap unto thee, and that thou dost not pass over this heap and this standing pillar unto me — for evil;

53 the God of Abraham and the God of Nahor, doth judge between us — the God of their father,' and Jacob sweareth by the Fear of his father Isaac.

54 And Jacob sacrificeth a sacrifice in the mount, and calleth to his brethren to eat bread, and they eat bread, and lodge in the mount;
Jakob loe to ih mae nuiah angbawnhaih to sak moe, buhcaak hanah angmah ih nawkamyanawk to kawk; nihcae loe buhcaak o moe, mae nuiah aqum puek oh o.
55 and Laban riseth early in the morning, and kisseth his sons and his daughters, and blesseth them; and Laban goeth on, and turneth back to his place.
Laban loe khawnbang khawnthaw ah angthawk moe, a caanawk hoi a canu hnik to mok pacoengah, nihcae to tahamhoihaih a paek. To pacoengah a ohhaih ahmuen ah amlaem.
