Genesis 30
1 When Rachel saw that she bore Jacob no children, Rachel envied her sister. She said to Jacob, “Give me children, or else I will die.”
Tedae Rakhel loh Jakob ham ca cun pawh tila a hmuh vaengah Rakhel te a maya taengah thatlai. Te dongah Jakob la, “Kai he capa m'pae lah, te pawt koinih ka duek ni,” a ti nah.
2 Jacob’s anger burned against Rachel, and he said, “Am I in God’s place, who has withheld from you the fruit of the womb?”
Te dongah Jakob kah a thintoek te Rakhel taengah sai tih, “Kai he nang bung kah a thaih aka hloh Pathen yueng la ka om a?” a ti nah.
3 She said, “Behold, my maid Bilhah. Go in to her, that she may bear on my knees, and I also may obtain children by her.”
Tedae, “Ka taengom Bilhah taengah kun mai saw he. Te daengah ni ka khuklu ah ca han sak vetih anih lamloh kai khaw ka thoh eh,” a ti nah.
4 She gave him Bilhah her servant as wife, and Jacob went in to her.
Te dongah a taengom Bilhah te a yuu la a paek tih Jakob loh anih taengah ip.
5 Bilhah conceived, and bore Jacob a son.
Bilhah khaw pumrhih tih Jakob ham ca a cun pah.
6 Rachel said, “God has judged me, and has also heard my voice, and has given me a son.” Therefore she called his name Dan.
Te vaengah Rakhel loh, “Pathen loh kai n'yan cakhaw ka ol te a yaak bal tih kai he ca tongpa m'paek coeng,” a ti. Te dongah anih ming te Dan a sui.
7 Bilhah, Rachel’s servant, conceived again, and bore Jacob a second son.
Te phoeiah koep pumrhih tih Rakhel kah taengom Bilhah loh Jakob ham capa pabae te a cun pah.
8 Rachel said, “I have wrestled with my sister with mighty wrestlings, and have prevailed.” She named him Naphtali.
Te vaengah Rakhel loh, “Pathen kah rhaknah dongah ka maya te ka hnueih tih ka na coeng,” a ti. Te dongah anih ming te Naphtali a sui.
9 When Leah saw that she had finished bearing, she took Zilpah, her servant, and gave her to Jacob as a wife.
Tedae Leah loh ca cun ham bawt coeng tila a hmuh dongah a taengom Zilpah te a khuen tih Jakob taengah a yuu la a paek.
10 Zilpah, Leah’s servant, bore Jacob a son.
Te dongah Leah kah taengom Zilpah loh Jakob ham capa a cun pah.
11 Leah said, “How fortunate!” She named him Gad.
Te vaengah Leah loh, “Yoekam loh a loh,” a ti dongah anih ming te Gad a sui.
12 Zilpah, Leah’s servant, bore Jacob a second son.
Te phoeiah Leah kah taengom Zilpah loh Jakob ham capa pabae a cun pah hatah,
13 Leah said, “Happy am I, for the daughters will call me happy.” She named him Asher.
Leah loh, “Kai bahoeng ka omngaih, te dongah tanu rhoek loh kai he n'uem uh ni,” a ti tih anih ming te Asher a sak.
14 Reuben went in the days of wheat harvest, and found mandrakes in the field, and brought them to his mother, Leah. Then Rachel said to Leah, “Please give me some of your son’s mandrakes.”
Cang ah tue vaengah Reuben te a caeh hatah lohma ah hloih a hmuh tih a manu Leah taengla a khuen. Te vaengah Rakhel loh Leah taengah, “Na capa kah hloih te kai hamla khueh mai,” a ti nah.
15 Leah said to her, “Is it a small matter that you have taken away my husband? Would you take away my son’s mandrakes, also?” Rachel said, “Therefore he will lie with you tonight for your son’s mandrakes.”
Tedae Leah loh anih la, “Ka va te nan rhawt tih rhoeh dae ka ca kah hloih te khaw na lo a ya?” a ti nah hatah, Rakhel loh, “Then, na capa kah hloih yueng la khoyin ah nang taengla yalh saeh,” a ti nah.
16 Jacob came from the field in the evening, and Leah went out to meet him, and said, “You must come in to me; for I have surely hired you with my son’s mandrakes.” He lay with her that night.
Te dongah pong lamkah Jakob halo hlaem ah anih aka doe la Leah te cet tih, “Ka capa kah hloih neh nang a paang la kan paang coeng dongah kai taengah na ip ni,” a ti nah. Te dongah tekah khoyin ah anih taengla yalh.
17 God listened to Leah, and she conceived, and bore Jacob a fifth son.
Tedae Pathen loh Leah te a yaak dongah pumrhih tih Jakob ham a panga nah capa a cun pah.
18 Leah said, “God has given me my hire, because I gave my servant to my husband.” She named him Issachar.
Te vaengah Leah loh, “Ka va taengah kamah taengom ka paek dongah kai khaw Pathen loh thapang m'paek,” a ti tih anih ming te Issakhar a sui.
19 Leah conceived again, and bore a sixth son to Jacob.
Te phoeiah Leah te koep pumrhih tih Jakob ham parhuk nah capa a cun.
20 Leah said, “God has endowed me with a good dowry. Now my husband will live with me, because I have borne him six sons.” She named him Zebulun.
Te vaengah Leah loh, “Pathen loh kai he kutdoe then koep m'paek tih anih ham capa parhuk ka cun pah. Te dongah ka va loh kai n'hmaiben pawn ni,” a ti tih a ming te Zebulun a sui.
21 Afterwards, she bore a daughter, and named her Dinah.
Te phoeiah a hnuk la canu a cun tih a ming te Dinah a sui.
22 God remembered Rachel, and God listened to her, and opened her womb.
Tedae Pathen loh Rakhel te a poek. Te dongah Pathen loh anih ol te a hnatun tih a bung te a ong pah.
23 She conceived, bore a son, and said, “God has taken away my reproach.”
Te dongah pumrhih tih capa a cun hatah, “Kai kah kokhahnah he Pathen loh a coi sak,” a ti.
24 She named him Joseph, saying, “May Yahweh add another son to me.”
“BOEIPA loh kai ham capa a tloe han thap saeh,” a ti tih anih ming te Joseph a sui.
25 When Rachel had borne Joseph, Jacob said to Laban, “Send me away, that I may go to my own place, and to my country.
Tedae Rakhel loh Joseph a sak phoeiah tah Jakob loh Laban taengah, “Kai he kamah hmuen la, kamah khohmuen ah pongpa ham n'tueih laeh.
26 Give me my wives and my children for whom I have served you, and let me go; for you know my service with which I have served you.”
Ka yuu rhoek neh ka ca rhoek te m'pae. Amih ham nang taengah ka thotat tih ka thohtatnah khaw nang ham ni ka thohtat tila na ming coeng dongah ka cet pawn ni,” a ti nah.
27 Laban said to him, “If now I have found favor in your eyes, stay here, for I have divined that Yahweh has blessed me for your sake.”
Tedae anih te Laban loh, “Nang kong ah BOEIPA loh ka yoe han then sak tila ka hmuhming. Nang mikhmuh ah mikdaithen la ka om atah bet om mai dae,” a ti nah.
28 He said, “Appoint me your wages, and I will give it.”
Te phoeiah, “Kai taengkah na thapang te mingpha sak lamtah kan paek bitni,” a ti nah.
29 Jacob said to him, “You know how I have served you, and how your livestock have fared with me.
Te dongah Jakob loh Laban te, “Nang taengah ka thohtat te khaw, na boiva loh kai taengah a om te khaw na ming.
30 For it was little which you had before I came, and it has increased to a multitude. Yahweh has blessed you wherever I turned. Now when will I provide for my own house also?”
Ka mikhmuh ah nang kah a yol ni a om dae a cungkuem te pungtai coeng. Te dongah BOEIPA loh nang te ka kho kung ah yoethen m'paek. Tedae me vaengah lae kai loh ka imkhui ham khaw ka saii coeng?” a ti nah.
31 Laban said, “What shall I give you?” Jacob said, “You shall not give me anything. If you will do this thing for me, I will again feed your flock and keep it.
Te vaengah, “Nang te balae kan paek eh,” a ti nah. Jakob loh, “Kai he pakhat khaw m'pae boeh, he ol he kai hamla nan khueh atah, ka mael neh na boiva te ka luem puei vetih ka dawn mai bitni.
32 I will pass through all your flock today, removing from there every speckled and spotted one, and every black one among the sheep, and the spotted and speckled among the goats. This will be my hire.
Tihnin ah nang kah boiva boeih taengla ka cet eh. Te lamkah tu boeih te rhikrhak neh a tairhi khaw, tuca khuikah tu pol boeih khaw, maae khuiah a tairhi neh rhikrhak khaw ka khoe saeh lamtah ka thapang la om saeh.
33 So my righteousness will answer for me hereafter, when you come concerning my hire that is before you. Every one that is not speckled and spotted among the goats, and black among the sheep, that might be with me, will be considered stolen.”
Na mikhmuh ah maae khui lamkah a rhikrhak neh a tairhi pawt boeih, tu khui lamkah a pol pawt te ka taengla a huen khaw, thangvuen khohnin kah ka thapang dongah na pai vaengah, kai yueng la ka duengnah thui nawn saeh,” a ti nah.
34 Laban said, “Behold, let it be according to your word.”
Te dongah Laban loh, “Namah olka bangla om saeh ne,” a ti nah.
35 That day, he removed the male goats that were streaked and spotted, and all the female goats that were speckled and spotted, every one that had white in it, and all the black ones among the sheep, and gave them into the hand of his sons.
Te dongah amah khohnin ah maaetal a rhangcam neh a tairhi te khaw, maae nu rhikrhak neh a tairhi boeih te khaw, a soah aka bok boeih neh tuca khuikah aka pol boeih te a khoe tih a capa kut ah a tloeng pah.
36 He set three days’ journey between himself and Jacob, and Jacob fed the rest of Laban’s flocks.
Te phoeiah hnin thum longcaeh te amah neh Jakob laklo ah hnalak a khueh. Te daengah Jakob loh Laban kah boiva la aka sueng rhoek te a luem sak.
37 Jacob took to himself rods of fresh poplar, almond, and plane tree, peeled white streaks in them, and made the white appear which was in the rods.
Tedae Jakob loh amah ham khabok neh yungkha neh hlimbok kah a hlaeng te thingsup la a loh. Te phoeiah a dakda aka bok te a hlih tih cungkui dongah a bok la a tai.
38 He set the rods which he had peeled opposite the flocks in the watering troughs where the flocks came to drink. They conceived when they came to drink.
Te phoeiah thing hlaeng a baeh te tuilong ah khaw, tuisoi tui taengah khaw, tui ok hamla boiva a kun nah ah khaw, boiva hmai ah khaw a khueh pah. Te dongah tui o la a caeh uh vaengah a pacu uh.
39 The flocks conceived before the rods, and the flocks produced streaked, speckled, and spotted.
Boiva te cungkui taengah a pacu tih boiva khaw a rhangcam, rhikrhak la thang tih a tairhi pah.
40 Jacob separated the lambs, and set the faces of the flocks toward the streaked and all the black in Laban’s flock. He put his own droves apart, and didn’t put them into Laban’s flock.
Te vaengah Jakob loh tuca rhoek te a hoep tih Laban kah boiva khuikah a rhangcam neh aka pol boeih taengla boiva kah a hmai a khueh. Te phoeiah amah loh amah kah tuping te amah la hloep a khueh. Tedae te rhoek te Laban kah boiva taengah khueh pawh.
41 Whenever the stronger of the flock conceived, Jacob laid the rods in front of the eyes of the flock in the watering troughs, that they might conceive among the rods;
Te phoeiah om tih boiva loh a pa a cuk takuem vaengah a tanglue te tah cungkui taengah a pa a cuk sak ham Jakob loh cungkui te tuilong kah boiva hmuh ah a khueh.
42 but when the flock were feeble, he didn’t put them in. So the feebler were Laban’s, and the stronger Jacob’s.
Tedae boiva te a rhae ngai atah a khueh pah pawt dongah a rhae rhoek te Laban ham om tih a tanglue te Jakob ham vik om.
43 The man increased exceedingly, and had large flocks, female servants and male servants, and camels and donkeys.
Te dongah tekah hlang tah lut lut boei tih anih taengah boiva khaw, taengom neh sal khaw, kalauk neh laak khaw muep om.
