When Rachel saw that she was not bearing any children for Jacob, she envied her sister. “Give me children, or I will die!” she said to Jacob.
2 Jacob chu Rachel chunga alung hang jah jeng in, “Keima Pathen ka hipoi ama ahi cha nei louva na koi, na naobu khah tan achu,” ati.
Jacob became angry with Rachel and said, “Am I in the place of God, who has withheld children from you?”
3 Hichun Rachel in adonbut in, “Kasohnu Bilhah hi galup khompi tan, chutile amanun nao eihin peh intin chua konna chu keiman jong ka chilhah insung kaki semdoh thei ding ahi,” ati.
Then she said, “Here is my maidservant Bilhah. Sleep with her, that she may bear children for me, so that through her I too can build a family.”
4 Rachel in Bilhah asohnu chu Jacob ji din apetai chuin Jacob'in Bilhah chu akitimat pitai.
So Rachel gave Jacob her servant Bilhah as a wife, and he slept with her,
5 Bilhah in nao ahinvop'in Jacob ding in chapa khat ahin peh tai.
and Bilhah conceived and bore him a son.
6 Hichun Rachel in aseiye, “Pathen in ka lunggel eisu bulhit pehtai, chule katao na jong eisan peh in chapa eipe tai atin hijeh chun naosen min chu Dan asahtai.”
Then Rachel said, “God has vindicated me; He has heard my plea and given me a son.” So she named him Dan.
7 Chuin Rachel sohnu Bilhah chun nao avop kit in Jacob chapa anina ahin peh kittai.
And Rachel’s servant Bilhah conceived again and bore Jacob a second son.
8 Hichun Rachel'in, “Keiman ka sopinu toh hatah a kaki set delna lhon a keiman kajou tai,” atin hichun naosen min chu Napthali asah tai.
Then Rachel said, “In my great struggles, I have wrestled with my sister and won.” So she named him Naphtali.
9 Leah in nao aneikit tah lou ding ahin kihet doh phat in asohnu Zilpah chu ji din ape tai.
When Leah saw that she had stopped having children, she gave her servant Zilpah to Jacob as a wife.
10 Hijeh chun Leah sohnu Zilpah chun Jacob ding in chapa khat ahin pehtai.
And Leah’s servant Zilpah bore Jacob a son.
11 Hichun Leah in hitin aseiye, “Hamphat aum bouve,” atin naosen min chu “Gad” asah tai. Hichun avetsah chu, keima iti vangphat kahi hitam tina ahi.
Then Leah said, “How fortunate!” So she named him Gad.
12 Hichun Leah sohnu Zilpah chun Jacob chapa anina chu ahin peh kitin ahi.
When Leah’s servant Zilpah bore Jacob a second son,
13 Leah chun aseiye, “Keiya din iti thanop um hitam, tua hi numei dang jousen hatah a eiki papi diu ahitai,” atin hiche naosen min chu Asher asah tai.
Leah said, “How happy I am! For the women call me happy.” So she named him Asher.
14 Nikhat Reuben chu suhlou chang vohlai in akon in ahile loulai achun Joldei-Ai (Mandrake) amun anu Leah ahin poh peh in ahile, hichun Rachel in Leah koma “lungset tah in na chapa Joldei-Ai hinpoh chu kei jong nei hom thei ding ham tin athum tai.”
Now during the wheat harvest, Reuben went out and found some mandrakes in the field. When he brought them to his mother, Rachel begged Leah, “Please give me some of your son’s mandrakes.”
15 Hinlah Leah in Rachel jah a “Ka inneipu neilah peh jong thil neocha na bola, tua jong kachapa Joldei-Ai hinpoh jong lahpeh ding neiti ham?” atile Rachel in adonbut in, “Chuti ahile nachapa Joldei-Ai poh man ding in tujan Jacob'in nangma na lupkhompi thei nante,” ati.
But Leah replied, “Is it not enough that you have taken away my husband? Now you want to take my son’s mandrakes as well?” “Very well,” said Rachel, “he may sleep with you tonight in exchange for your son’s mandrakes.”
16 Hiche nilhah chun Jacob phailei lama kona ahung ki nungle phat in Leah achen aga kimu pin, “Tujan hi keima toh ilupkhom ding ahi, Ajeh chu tujan adinga ka chapan nao neitheina hinpoh a tujana dinga ka choh na hitai,” hichun Jacob chu hiche jan chun Leah to ageh lhontai.
When Jacob came in from the field that evening, Leah went out to meet him and said, “You must come with me, for I have hired you with my son’s mandrakes.” So he slept with her that night.
17 Pathen in Leah taona chu asan pehtan, nao ahin voptan Jacob chapa nga lhinna ahin neipeh tai.
And God listened to Leah, and she conceived and bore a fifth son to Jacob.
18 Hichun Leah in asei tan, “ka sohnu chu kajipa ka pehdoh jeh in Pathen in ka choh doh man eipe tai,” atin hichun naosen min chu Issachar asah tan ahi.
Then Leah said, “God has rewarded me for giving my maidservant to my husband.” So she named him Issachar.
19 Chujouvin jong Leah chun nao avop kit'in Jacob ding in chapa gup lhinna ahin peh kit tai.
Again Leah conceived and bore a sixth son to Jacob.
20 Hichun Leah in asei tan, “Pathen in keima numei thilken phatah tah eiken peh tai, tuapat'in kaji pan ngailutna sangtah einei ding ahi tai, ajeh chu chapa gup kaneipeh tai,” hichun amanun naosen min chu Zebulun asah tai.
“God has given me a good gift,” she said. “This time my husband will honor me, because I have borne him six sons.” And she named him Zebulun.
21 Ahin phat chomkhat jouvin nao numei khat ahingin amin chu Dinah asah in ahi.
After that, Leah gave birth to a daughter and named her Dinah.
22 Hichun Pathen in Rachel chu asumil pon Pathen in ataona asanpeh in anaobu chu ahon pehtai.
Then God remembered Rachel. He listened to her and opened her womb,
23 Hijeh chun Rachel in jong nao ahin vop'in chapa khat ahin neitai; hichun Rachel in hitin aseiye, “Pathen in kaja chatna jouse asubeitai,” ati.
and she conceived and gave birth to a son. “God has taken away my shame,” she said.
24 Rachel'in anao min chu Joseph asah in hitin aseiye, “Pakaiyin chapa dang khat jong eihin sah kit teitei hen o!” ati.
She named him Joseph, and said, “May the LORD add to me another son.”
25 Rachel in Joseph ahin neijou phat chun, Jacob in Laban koma asei tai, “Nei nungsol tan kagam lang uva,” ati.
Now after Rachel had given birth to Joseph, Jacob said to Laban, “Send me on my way so I can return to my homeland.
26 Kajite kachate neipe dohtan phat sottah nangma in alhachan ka pangtan, tua hi keima ki nungle phat ahung hitai, chule ito banga nangma na katoh peh nahim nangman nakihet nai ati.
Give me my wives and children for whom I have served you, that I may go on my way. You know how hard I have worked for you.”
27 Ahin Laban in Jacob jah a aseiye, “Ahithei dingle lungset tah in neida lha hih in ajeh chu nangma ka insunga na hung lutna pat in Pathen in phatthei eiboh lheh jeng in ahi.
But Laban replied, “If I have found favor in your eyes, please stay. I have learned by divination that the LORD has blessed me because of you.”
28 Chule Jacob in asei in, natoh man ding ijat ham neisei peh tan keiman kapeh ding nahi ati.
And he added, “Name your wages, and I will pay them.”
29 Chuin Jacob in adonbut in, “Nangman na henai itobanga nangma na katoh a na gancha ho hung pung thei ham?” ati.
Then Jacob answered, “You know how I have served you and how your livestock have thrived under my care.
30 “Ajeh chu keima ka hung masang chun themcha bou na neijin tun apung jal tan, Pathen in hatah in phatthei na boh tan ahi. Ahile itih phat hi ding ham? keima insunga ding katoh na ding,” ati.
Indeed, you had very little before my arrival, but now your wealth has increased many times over. The LORD has blessed you wherever I set foot. But now, when may I also provide for my own household?”
31 Chule Laban in adong kitin, “Ipiba ka peh ding ham? Jacob'in aseiye, Imacha neipe hih in, ahin thil khat neibol peh le chun keiman nagancha na vettup peh nang'e ati.
“What can I give you?” Laban asked. “You do not need to give me anything,” Jacob replied. “If you do this one thing for me, I will keep on shepherding and keeping your flocks.
32 Tun keiman na gancha kelngoi ho ga khol sohkei jing ting, amaho lah achun apol jouse hin lheng doh inting, chule keltah ho laha jong apol thim hihen hapol apol jouse hin lheng doh ingting, hichengse chu keima natoh man in neibol pehtan ati.
Let me go through all your flocks today and remove from them every speckled or spotted sheep, every dark-colored lamb, and every spotted or speckled goat. These will be my wages.
33 Khonung teng kana toh man sutoh dinga nahung teng ka kitah na nahin muchen thei na dingin, kelchate lah a apol lou hihen, ha pol a pol lou akimu doh khah a, kelngoi lah a jong apol lou khattou aum khah a ahile hiche ho se chu nangma akona kaguh a kisim jeng thei ding ahi,” ati.
So my honesty will testify for me when you come to check on my wages in the future. If I have any goats that are not speckled or spotted, or any lambs that are not dark-colored, they will be considered stolen.”
34 Hichun Laban in adonbut in, “Apha lheh jeng'e nangman nasei bang chu himai tahen,” ati.
“Agreed,” said Laban. “Let it be as you have said.”
35 Hinlah Laban in hiche nikho ma ma chun kelcha achal asandup apol, chule abeh beh a kang kelcha anu apol ho, chule kelngoi avom ho jouse chu achapa koma abon'in agathah doh sah sohkei in ahi.
That very day Laban removed all the streaked or spotted male goats and every speckled or spotted female goat—every one that had any white on it—and every dark-colored lamb, and he placed them under the care of his sons.
36 Hichun aman Jacob to nithum jen lampi a kigam lat'in asol mangtai, chule Jacob in Laban gancha aki thah lou jouse chu aching jom jing tan ahi.
Then he put a three-day journey between himself and Jacob, while Jacob was shepherding the rest of Laban’s flocks.
37 Chuin Jacob in Almond le Shiga phung bah ho chu amal ngim in hiche thingbah avel akang lai ho chu kelcha ho amusah in ahi.
Jacob, however, took fresh branches of poplar, almond, and plane trees, and peeled the bark, exposing the white inner wood of the branches.
38 Hichun Jacob in thingbah amal ngim hon chu kelngoi ho twi donna konga akoiyin, kelngoite twichip dinga ahung ji teng ule kijang matji ahi jeh uva akoi ahi.
Then he set the peeled branches in the watering troughs in front of the flocks coming in to drink. So when the flocks were in heat and came to drink,
39 Kelngoi ho chu thingbah akang lai masanga chu ki jang mat ji, chuteng chule kelngoite chun akang pol jong, hapol a pol jong ahin hing doh doh tauve.
they mated in front of the branches. And they bore young that were streaked or speckled or spotted.
40 Jacob in kelngoi ho chu ahoikhen in Laban kelngoi hon lah a akangpol ho leh avom ho chu ahoikhen in ama chan ding chengse chu atum in akhen doh in, Laban a lah achun ahoi lut tapoi.
Jacob set apart the young, but made the rest face the streaked dark-colored sheep in Laban’s flocks. Then he set his own stock apart and did not put them with Laban’s animals.
41 Hiti chun kelngoi lah a asapha ho chu aki jang mat teng ule thingbah ho amu uva, aki jang mat theina ding uvin Jacob in jong thingbah ho amasang uva twi lonna kom laiya aga jam peh jin ahi.
Whenever the stronger females of the flock were in heat, Jacob would place the branches in the troughs, in full view of the animals, so that they would breed in front of the branches.
42 Hinlah Jacob'in kelngoi atahsa phalou ho ahi tengle aga jamle jipoi, ajeh chu Laban a chu asapha lou jeng ahin, Jacob a vang chu asapha jeng ahiuve.
But if the animals were weak, he did not set out the branches. So the weaker animals went to Laban and the stronger ones to Jacob.
43 Hijeh chun Jacob chu ahung hao thei lheh tan, kelngoi tamtah ahin neitan, soh numei ahin soh pasal ahin tamtah aneiyin, chule sangan le sangangsao jong tamtah anei doh tai.
Thus Jacob became exceedingly prosperous. He owned large flocks, maidservants and menservants, and camels and donkeys.
