1 Hahoi Jakop ni a radoung teh, khenhaw! Esaw teh tami 400 touh hoi a tho. Hahoi a canaw hah Leah hoi a sannu koe vah a ta.
Jacob [Supplanter] lifted up his eyes, and looked, and, behold, Esau [Hairy] was coming, and with him four hundred men. He divided the children between Leah [Weary], Rachel [Ewe sheep], and the two servants.
2 Hahoi a sannu hoi a canaw hah hma ahman, hat hnukkhu vah Leah hoi a canaw, Rachel hoi Joseph teh a hnukteng poung lah a ta.
He put the servants and their children in front, Leah [Weary] and her children after, and Rachel [Ewe sheep] and Joseph [May he add] at the rear.
3 Ama teh hma ahman teh, a hmau teng a pha toteh talai vaisari touh a tabo.
He himself passed over in front of them, and bowed himself to the ground seven times, until he came near to his brother.
4 Hatei ama kâhmo hanelah Esaw koe a yawng teh, a kâtapam roi teh, a kâpaco roi teh, a ka roi.
Esau [Hairy] ran to meet him, embraced him, fell on his neck, kissed him, and they wept.
5 Esaw ni a khet teh, napui hoi camonaw hah a hmu. Hahoi teh na thokhai e naw hah tami bangpatetnaw na maw, telah atipouh. Ahni ni Cathut ni na lungma teh na san a poe e camonaw nan ma aw atipouh.
He lifted up his eyes, and saw the women and the children; and said, “Who are these with you?” He said, “The children whom God has graciously given your servant.”
6 A sannu hah a canaw hoi a tho teh a tabut.
Then the servants came near with their children, and they bowed themselves.
7 Leah hai a canaw hoi a tho teh a tabut. Hahoi Rachel hoi Joseph hai a tho teh a tabut rawi.
Leah [Weary] also and her children came near, and bowed themselves. After them, Joseph [May he add] came near with Rachel [Ewe sheep], and they bowed themselves.
8 Esaw ni saringhu a kâhmo e naw pueng hah bangtelane, telah ati. Ahnimouh ni ka bawipa na minhmai kahawi ka hmu thai nahanelah ka sak e doeh, telah ati.
Esau [Hairy] said, “What do you mean by all this company which I met?” Jacob [Supplanter] said, “To find chen ·grace· in the sight of my lord.”
9 Hatei Esaw ni ka nawngha, moikapap ka tawn, na tawn e teh nama hane ma tat leih, atipouh.
Esau [Hairy] said, “I have enough, my brother; let that which you have be yours.”
10 Jakop ni nahoeh bo, na minhmai kahawi ka hmawt pawiteh, pahren lahoi na poe e poehno hah na dâw pouh loe. Cathut mei hmu lah na mei ka hmu teh, kai lathueng na lung bout ahawi.
Jacob [Supplanter] said, “Please, no, if I have now found chen ·grace· in your sight, then receive my present at my hand, because I have seen your face, as one sees the face of God, and you were pleased with me.
11 Cathut ni na pahren teh, moi ka tawn doeh. Pahren lahoi kai ni na poe e naw hah na dâw pouh yaw kaw, telah ati. Hottelah pou a pasawt teh a dâw pouh.
Please take the gift that I brought to you, because God has dealt graciously with me, and because I have enough.” He urged him, and he took it.
12 Hahoi Esaw ni kamthaw awh sei. Cet awh sei, na hmalah ka cei han atipouh.
Esau [Hairy] said, “Let us take our journey, and let us go, and I will go before you.”
13 Hatei Jakop ni ahni koe na camonaw heh ek a naw rah. Tuhu hoi maitohu hoi kaimouh koe kaawm e naw teh ca ka cun e naw lah ao dawkvah, ka bawipa nang ni na panue doeh. Hnin touh mah karanglah ka hrui pawiteh be a due awh han doeh.
Jacob [Supplanter] said to him, “My lord knows that the children are tender, and that the flocks and herds with me have their young, and if they overdrive them one day, all the flocks will die.
14 Ka bawipa, pahren lahoi na sannaw hmalah cet nateh, Seir mon dawk ka bawipa nang koe pha awh hoehroukrak, ka hmalah saring ka cet e naw, a cei thai awh e patetlah camonaw hai a cei thai awh e patetlah payai lahoi ka ceikhai han, telah ati.
Please let my lord pass over before his servant, and I will lead on gently, according to the pace of the livestock that are before me and according to the pace of the children, until I come to my lord to Seir.”
15 Esaw ni kai koe kaawm e a tangawn kangna teh, tat awh lawisei, telah ati. Hatei, ahni ni bangmaw a panki. Ka bawipa minhmai kahawi na hmawt sak leih telah ati.
Esau [Hairy] said, “Let me now leave with you some of the folk who are with me.” He said, “Why? Let me find chen ·grace· in the sight of my lord.”
16 Hottelah, Esaw teh hat hnin vah Seir mon pâtam laihoi a ban.
So Esau [Hairy] teshuvah ·completely returned· that day on his way to Seir.
17 Jakop teh Sukoth vah a cei teh, ama hanelah im a sak teh, a saringnaw hane haiyah impui a sak pouh.
Jacob [Supplanter] traveled to Sukkot, built himself a house, and made shelters for his livestock. Therefore the name of the place is called Sukkot [Booths].
18 Jakop teh lungmawngcalah paddanaram ram hoi Kanaan ram e kaawm sekem khopui koe a pha teh, khopui pui hmalah rim pui hah a sak.
Jacob [Supplanter] came in peace to the city of Shechem, which is in the land of Canaan [Humbled], when he came from Paddan Aram [Elevated]; and encamped before the city.

He bought the parcel of ground where he had spread his tent, at the hand of the children of Hamor, Shechem’s father, for one hundred pieces of money.
20 Hawvah, khoungroe a sak teh, El Elohim Isarel telah min a phung awh.
He erected an altar there, and called it El-Elohei-Isra'el [God the God of God prevails].
