1 Tedae Laban ca rhoek kah olka la, “Jakob loh a pa koe te boeih a loh dongah hekah thangpomnah boeih he khaw a pa koe ni hlawp a bawn,” a ti uh te a yaak.

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;'

2 Te phoeiah Laban kah maelhmai te Jakob loh a hmuh vaengah hlaem hlaemvai kah bangla anih taengah om pawh.

and Jacob seeth the face of Laban, and lo, it is not with him as heretofore.

3 Tedae BOEIPA loh Jakob te, “Na pa rhoek kah khohmuen neh na pacaboeina taengla bal ngawn lamtah nang taengah ka om bit ni,” a ti nah.

And Jehovah saith unto Jacob, 'Turn back unto the land of thy fathers, and to thy kindred, and I am with thee.'

4 Te dongah Jakob loh Rakhel neh Leah te a tah tih kohong kah a boiva te a khue.

And Jacob sendeth and calleth for Rachel and for Leah to the field unto his flock;

5 Te phoeiah amih te, “Na pa maelhmai te ka hmuh vaengah, hlaem hlaemvai vaengkah bangla kai taengah anih om pawt cakhaw a pa kah Pathen loh kai taengah om.

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,

6 Tahae ah ka thadueng boeih neh na pa taengah ka thohtat te na ming uh.

and ye — ye have known that with all my power I have served your father,

7 Na pa khaw kai taengah omsaa tih ka thapang te voei rha la a hoilae. Tedae kai he thae sak ham tah Pathen loh anih a paek moenih.

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.

8 Rhikrhak te nang kah thapang la om saeh a ti van hatah boiva te khaw rhikrhak la boeih thang tih a rhangcam te nang kah thapang la om saeh a ti van hatah boiva te a rhangcam la boeih thang.

'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;

9 Tedae na pa kah boiva te Pathen long ni a lat tih kai taengah m'paek.

and God taketh away the substance of your father, and doth give to me.

10 Boiva te a pa a cuk tue a pha coeng tih ka mik te ka huel. Mueimang ah ka hmuh tih kikong loh a caeh thil boiva tah rhangcam, rhikrhak neh dikdek la om he.

'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;

11 Te phoeiah Pathen kah puencawn loh kai te ka mang ah, 'Jakob,” a ti tih, “Kai ni he,” ka ti nah.

and the messenger of God saith unto me in the dream, Jacob, and I say, Here [am] I.

12 Te dongah, “Na mik huel lamtah tahae kah boiva a rhangcam, rhikrhak neh dikdek taengah aka cu kikong rhoek boeih ke so lah. Laban loh nang taengah a saii boeih te ka hmuh coeng.

'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;

13 Kai tah kaam te na koelh tih kai taengah olcaeng neh na caeng vaengkah te Bethel Pathen ni. Hekah khohmuen lamloh thoo laeh, cet lamtah na pacaboeina kah khohmuen la mael laeh,’ a ti,” a ti nah.

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.'

14 Te dongah Rakhel neh Leah loh a doo vaengah, “A pa im kah hamsum neh rho te mamih ham om voel a?

And Rachel answereth — Leah also — and saith to him, 'Have we yet a portion and inheritance in the house of our father?

15 Anih loh kholong hlang la m'poek uh dongah mamih he n'yoih phoeiah mamih kah tangka te a caak khaw a caak moenih a?

have we not been reckoned strangers to him? for he hath sold us, and he also utterly consumeth our money;

16 Hmantang ah Pathen loh a pa taengkah a lat khuehtawn boeih te mah koe neh n'ca rhoek kah ni. Te dongah Pathen loh nang taengah a thui boeih te tah saii laeh,” a ti rhoi.

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.'

17 Te dongah Jakob loh thoo tih a ca rhoek neh a yuu rhoek te kalauk rhoek dongla a ngol sak.

And Jacob riseth, and lifteth up his sons and his wives on the camels,

18 Te phoeiah a napa Isaak kah khohmuen Kanaan la caeh ham a boiva neh a kawn a dang boeih te khaw, Paddanaram ah a dang amah kah hnopai, boiva te khaw baat a thawn.

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.

19 Tedae Laban loh amah kah tu te a mul vok pah ham a caeh vaengah Rakhel loh a napa kah sithui te a huen.

And Laban hath gone to shear his flock, and Rachel stealeth the teraphim which her father hath;

20 Anih a yong te a puen mueh la Jakob loh Arammi Laban kah lungbuei te a namnah.

and Jacob deceiveth the heart of Laban the Aramaean, because he hath not declared to him that he is fleeing;

21 Anih a yong dongah a taengkah boeih te khaw a thoh puei tih, tuiva a poeng phoeikah Gilead tlang dan la a hooi puei.

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.

22 Tedae Jakob a yong te a hnin thum daengah Laban taengah a puen pah.

And it is told to Laban on the third day that Jacob hath fled,

23 Te dongah Laban loh amah manuca rhoek te a khuen tih hnin rhih longcaeh due anih hnuk te a hloem phoeiah Jakob te Gilead tlang ah a tuuk.

and he taketh his brethren with him, and pursueth after him a journey of seven days, and overtaketh him in the mount of Gilead.

24 Tedae Arammi hoel Laban te Khoyin a mang ah Pathen loh a paan tih, “Namah te ngaithuen, Jakob taengah a then khaw a thae la na thui ve,” a ti nah.

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.'

25 Tedae Laban loh Jakob a tuuk vaengah Jakob loh amah kah dap te tlang ah a tuk coeng dongah Laban neh a manuca rhoek long khaw Gilead tlang ah rhaeh uh.

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.

26 Te vaengah Laban loh Jakob la, “Balae na saii he. Ka thinko he na liim tih ka tanu rhoek te cunghang kah a sol bangla na hmaithawn.

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?

27 Yong ham te balae tih na phah, kai taengah na puen mueh la kai nan liim. Nang te kohoenah neh, laa neh, kamrhing neh, rhotoeng nen khaw kan tueih van mako.

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,

28 Ka ca rhoek so neh ka canu rhoek soah te mok ham kai nan paek pawt khaw na pavai coeng tih ni na saii.

and hast not suffered me to kiss my sons and my daughters? — now thou hast acted foolishly in doing [so];

29 Nangmih te a thae la saii ham ka thaa om ngawn dae hlaem yin ah na pa kah Pathen loh kai m'voek tih, 'Jakob te a thae neh a then khaw thui te namah ngaithuen,’ a ti.

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.

30 Tedae na pa im te ngaidam la na ngaidam coeng dongah na cet khaw na cet mai ni. Balae tih kai kah pathen na huen,” a ti nah.

'And now, thou hast certainly gone, because thou hast been very desirous for the house of thy father; why hast thou stolen my gods?'

31 Tedae Jakob loh a doo tih Laban te, “Na canu rhoek he kai taeng lamloh na doek ve ka ti tih ka rhih dongah ni.

And Jacob answereth and saith to Laban, 'Because I was afraid, for I said, Lest thou take violently away thy daughters from me;

32 A taengah na khohni na hmuh te tah kaimih kah pacaboeina hmaiah hing boel saeh. Kai taengkah he namah loh hmat lamtah namah kah atah lo,” a ti nah. Tedae Rakhel loh a huen te Jakob loh ming pawh.

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.

33 Te dongah Laban loh Jakob kah dap khaw, Leah kah dap neh taengom rhoi kah dap khuila cet dae a hmuh pawt dongah Leah kah dap lamkah halo tih Rakhel kah dap khuila kun.

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.

34 Tedae Rakhel loh sithui te a loh tih kalauk kah ngoldoelh khuiah a khueh tih a ngol thil dongah dap te Laban loh boeih a phatuem dae hmu pawh.

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;

35 Te vaengah Rakhel loh a napa taengah, “Ka boeipa mik ah sai boel mai. Kai taengah huta kah khosing om tih nang hmuh ah thoh ham ka coeng moenih,” a ti nah. Te dongah a sat akhaw sithui te hmu pawh.

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.

36 Tedae Jakob te sai tih Laban te a ho. Te vaengah Jakob loh Laban te a doo tih, “Kai kah mebang dumlai neh mebang tholhnah dongah lae kai hnukah nan hlak.

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?

37 Tahae ah kai kah hnopai boeih te na phatuem tih na im kah hnopai khat khaw na hmuh te kai kah pacaboeina neh nang kah paca boeina hmuh ah n'rha phoeiah man mamih rhoi laklo ah n'tluung uh rhoi sue.

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.

38 Kum kul khuiah he nang taengah ka om coeng dae na tumanu neh na maae rhoek loh thangyah vai pawt tih na boiva khuikah a tal rhoek khaw ka ca vai pawh.

'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;

39 Saha te na taengla kan khuen pawh. Khoyin loh a huen khaw, khothaih loh a huen khaw nan suk dongah kai loh kamah kut lamkah neh ka kawn.

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;

40 Khothaih ah kholing loh n'do tih khoyin ah rhaelnu loh m'boh phoeiah ka mik loh ih ham a hlavawt tih ka om.

I have been [thus]: in the day consumed me hath drought, and frost by night, and wander doth my sleep from mine eyes.

41 Tahae ah kai loh nang im ah kum kul ka om khuiah na canu rhoi ham kum hlai li neh na boiva ham kum rhuk te nang taengah ka tho ka tat dae ka thapang te voei rha la na hoi na lae.

'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;

42 A pa kah Pathen, Abraham kah Pathen neh Isaak kah birhihnah te kai taengah om pawt koinih kuttling la kai nan tueih tarha mai veh. Kai kah phacip phabaem neh ka kut kah a thatloh te Pathen loh a hmuh dongah ni hlaem yin ah a tluung,” a ti nah.

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.'

43 Laban long khaw Jakob te a doo vaengah, “Huta rhoek te kai canu rhoek tih tongpa rhoek te khaw kai ca rhoek ni. Boiva te khaw kai kah boiva tih namah loh na hmuh boeih te kai koe ni. Tedae tihnin ah ka canu rhoek, amih ham neh amih loh a sak camoe rhoek ham balae ka saii thai voel.

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?

44 Te dongah halo laeh! Kai neh nang paipi sai sih lamtah kai laklo nang laklo ah laipai la om saeh,” a ti nah.

and now, come, let us make a covenant, I and thou, and it hath been for a witness between me and thee.'

45 Te dongah Jakob loh lungto a rhuh tih kaam la a ling.

And Jacob taketh a stone, and lifteth it up [for] a standing pillar;

46 Te phoeiah Jakob loh amah kah paca boeina rhoek la, “Lungto rhut uh,” a ti nah. Lungto te a rhuh uh tih lungkuk la a saii uh phoeiah tah lungkuk taengah buh pahoi a caak uh.

and Jacob saith to his brethren, 'Gather stones,' and they take stones, and make a heap; and they eat there on the heap;

47 Te dongah tekah lungkuk te Laban loh Jegarsahdutha a sui tih Jakob loh Galeed la a khue.

and Laban calleth it Jegar-Sahadutha; and Jacob hath called it Galeed.

48 Te phoeiah Laban loh, “Tihnin ah hekah lungkuk loh kai laklo neh nang laklo ah laipai la om coeng,” a ti dongah a ming te Galeed a sui.

And Laban saith, 'This heap [is] witness between me and thee to-day;' therefore hath he called its name Galeed;

49 Te phoeiah, “Hlang hui taeng lamloh n'thuh vaengah kai laklo neh nang laklo ah BOEIPA loh n'tawt saeh,” a ti dongah Mizpah a sui.

Mizpah also, for he said, 'Jehovah doth watch between me and thee, for we are hidden one from another;

50 Ka ca huta rhoek te khoem na phaep tih ka ca rhoek hmanah yuu na loh atah mamih taengah hlang om pawt dae kai neh nang laklo kah laipai tah Pathen ni tila hmu sih.

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 Te phoeiah Laban loh Jakob te, “Lungkuk he khaw kaam he khaw ne, te ni kai laklo neh nang laklo ah kan thuinuet.

And Laban saith to Jacob, 'Lo, this heap, and lo, the standing pillar which I have cast between me and thee;

52 Boethae ham khaw hekah lungkuk neh kaam he tah kai loh nang taengla hekah lungkuk kan poeng pawt ham neh nang khaw kai taengla na poe pawt ham hekah lungkuk neh kaam he laipai la om saeh.

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 Abraham kah Pathen neh Nakhaw kah Pathen, a napa kah Pathen loh mamih laklo ah laitloek uh saeh,” a ti nah. Te phoeiah Jakob loh a napa Isaak kah birhihnah neh a toemngam.

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 Te dongah Jakob loh tlang ah hmueih a nawn phoeiah buh ca la amah huiko te a khue. Buh a caak uh phoeiah tlang ah rhaeh uh.

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;

55 Laban te mincang ah thoo tih a ca rhoek neh a canu rhoek te a mok. Te phoeiah amih te yoethen a paek. Te phoeiah cet tih Laban khaw amah hmuen la mael.

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.
