Isaac called Jacob, blessed him, and commanded him, "You must not take a wife from the daughters of Canaan.

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.

and give you the blessing of Abraham, to you, and to your descendants with you, that you may inherit the land where you travel, which God gave to Abraham."
5 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.
Isaac sent Jacob away. He went to Paddan Aram to Laban, son of Bethuel the Aramean, Rebekah's brother, Jacob's and Esau's mother.

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 must not take a wife from the daughters of Canaan,"
7 Jakop ni a manu hoi a na pa e lawk hah a ngai teh, Paddanaram ram dawk a cei.
and that Jacob obeyed his father and his mother, and left for Paddan Aram.

Esau saw that the daughters of Canaan did not please Isaac, his father.

Esau 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.

Jacob went out from Beersheba, and went toward Haran.
11 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.
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.
12 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.
And he dreamed. And look, a stairway was set upon the earth, and its top reached to heaven. And look, the angels of God were ascending and descending on it.
13 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;
And God stood above it, and said, "I am the God of Abraham your grandfather, and the God of Isaac. The land on which you are lying I will give to you and to your descendants.
14 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.
Your descendants will be as the dust of the earth, and you will spread out to the west, and to the east, and to the north, and to the south. And through you and through your descendants will all the families of the earth be blessed.
15 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.
And look, I am with you, and will watch over 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."
16 Jakop ni a kâhlaw teh, hete hmuen koe BAWIPA teh ao roeroe ka panuek laipalah ka o, telah ati.
Then Jacob woke up from his sleep, and said, "Surely God is in this place, and I did not know it."
17 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.
He was afraid, and said, "How awesome is this place. This is none other than God's house, and this is the gate of heaven."
18 Jakop ni amom a thaw teh a lahoung e talung hah a lah teh lungkhoung a ung teh, avan vah satui hah a awi.
And Jacob rose up early in the morning, and took the stone that he had put under his head, and set it up as a standing-stone, and poured oil on top of it.
19 Hote hmuen hah Bethel telah a phung. Hote kho teh hmaloe vah Luz lah ao.
He called the name of that place Bethel, though previously the city was named Luz.
20 Jakop ni, apa im dawk lungmawngcalah ka ban thai nahan, kai koe Cathut hah ao teh ka ceinae lam hah a ring teh,
Then Jacob made a vow, saying, "If God will be with me, and will watch over me on this journey I am taking, and will give me food to eat, and clothing to put on,
21 ca han e vaiyei hoi kâkhu hane hni na poe boipawiteh, BAWIPA teh ka Cathut lah ao han.
so that I return to my father's house safely, then he will be my God,
22 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.
and this stone, which I have set up as a standing-stone, will be God's house. Of all that you will give me I will surely give the tenth to you."
