Genesis 29
1 Then Iaakob lift vp his feete and came into the East countrey.
To pacoengah Jakob loe kholong a caeh moe, ni angyae bang kaminawk ohhaih ahmuen to phak.
2 And as he looked about, behold there was a well in the field, and lo, three flocks of sheepe lay thereby (for at that well were the flockes watered) and there was a great stone vpon the welles mouth.
Anih mah khet naah, lawk thungah tuikhaw maeto a hnuk; tuunawk loe to ih tuikhaw taengah ahmuen thumto ah tabok o; to ih tuikhaw thung ih tui to tuunawk han naek o sak; to ah tuikhaw kraenghaih kalen parai thlung kangphaek maeto oh.
3 And thither were all the flockes gathered, and they rolled the stone from the welles mouth, and watered the sheepe, and put the stone againe vpon the welles mouth in his place.
Tuutoep kaminawk to ah oh o naah, tuikhaw kraenghaih kalen parai thlung kangphaek to takhoe o moe, tuunawk to tui naek o sak; to pacoengah tuikhaw to thlung hoiah kraeng o let.
4 And Iaakob sayde vnto them, My brethren, whence be ye? And they answered, We are of Haran.
Jakob mah tuutoep kaminawk khaeah, Nawkamyanawk naa hoiah maw nang zoh o? tiah lok a dueng. Nihcae mah, Haran hoiah kang zoh o, tiah pathim pae o.
5 Then he sayd vnto them, Know ye Laban the sonne of Nahor? Who said, We know him.
Nihcae khaeah, Nahor ih capa Laban to na panoek o maw? tiah a naa. Nihcae mah, Ka panoek o bae, tiah a naa o.
6 Againe he sayd vnto them, Is he in good health? And they answered, He is in good health, and beholde, his daughter Rahel commeth with the sheepe.
To pacoengah Jakob mah nihcae khaeah, Anih loe ngantui hmang maw? tiah a naa. Nihcae mah, Ngan a tui bae; khenah, a canu Rachel loe tuunawk hoi nawnto angzoh, tiah a naa o.
7 Then he sayd, Lo, it is yet hie day, neither is it time that the cattell shoulde be gathered together: water ye the sheepe and go feede them.
Anih mah, Khenah, niduem ai vop; tuunawk huih han atue pha ai vop; tuunawk to tui nae o sak ah loe, rawkcak pacah o rae khae, tiah a naa.
8 But they sayde, We may not vntill all the flocks be brought together, and till men rolle the stone from the welles mouth, that we may water the sheepe.
Nihcae mah, Ka hui o mak ai vop; tuunawk to acuu boih moe, tuikhaw kraenghaih kalen parai thlung kangphaek takhoe pacoeng, tuunawk tui ka paek o ai karoek to ka caeh o thai mak ai, tiah a naa o.
9 While he talked with them, Rahel also came with her fathers sheepe, for she kept them.
Nihcae hoi lok apaeh li naah, Rachel loe ampa ih tuunawk to huih moe, angzoh; anih loe tuutoep kami ah oh.
10 And assoone as Iaakob saw Rahel ye daughter of Laban his mothers brother, and the sheepe of Laban his mothers brother, then came Iaakob neere, and rolled the stone from the welles mouth, and watered ye flocke of Laban his mothers brother.
Jakob mah amno ih tangqoi Laban canu Rachel hoi amno ih thangqoi Laban ih tuunawk to hnuk naah, caeh moe, tuikhaw kraenghaih kalen parai thlung kangphaek to takhoe pae, amno ih thangqoi Laban ih tuunawk to tui a naeksak.
11 And Iaakob kissed Rahel, and lift vp his voyce and wept.
Jakob mah Rachel to mok moe, tha hoi qah.
12 (For Iaakob tolde Rahel, that he was her fathers brother, and that he was Rebekahs sonne) then she ranne and tolde her father.
Jakob mah Rachel khaeah anih loe ampa ih nawkamya ah oh moe, Rebekah ih capa ah ohhaih kawng to a thuih pae; to pongah Rachel loe cawnh moe, ampa khaeah thuih pae.
13 And when Laban heard tell of Iaakob his sisters sonne, he ranne to meete him, and embraced him and kissed him, and brought him to his house: and he tolde Laban all these things.
Laban mah a tanuh ih capa Jakob kawng to thaih naah, anih tongh hanah karangah cawnh; takop moe, a mok pacoengah, angmah im ah a caeh haih. Jakob mah im ah phak naah, kangcoeng tangcae hmuennawk kawng to a thuih pae.
14 To whome Laban sayd, Well, thou art my bone and my flesh. and he abode with him the space of a moneth.
Laban mah anih khaeah, Nang loe ka thii ka ngan ah ni na oh, tiah a naa. Anih loe khrah to thung Laban khaeah oh.
15 For Laban sayde vnto Iaakob, Though thou be my brother, shouldest thou therfore serue me for nought? tell me, what shalbe thy wages?
Laban mah Jakob khaeah, Kai ih nawkamya ah na oh pongah, kai han tih tok doeh nang sah pae mak ai maw? Na toksakhaih atho to na thui ah, tiah a naa.
16 Now Laban had two daughters, the elder called Leah, and the yonger called Rahel.
Laban loe canu hnetto tawnh; canu kacoeh ahmin loe Leah, canu kanawk ih ahmin loe Rachel.
17 And Leah was tender eyed, but Rahel was beautifull and faire.
Leah loe mik hoih parai ai; toe Rachel loe kranghoih moe, palung han koiah oh.
18 And Iaakob loued Rahel, and sayde, I will serue thee seuen yeeres for Rahel thy yonger daughter.
Jakob loe Rachel to koeh moe, Nang han saning sarihto thung tok kang sak pae han, na canu kanawk Rachel to na paek ah, tiah a naa.
19 Then Laban answered, It is better that I giue her thee, then that I should giue her to another man: abide with me.
Laban mah anih to minawk kalah han ka paek pongah loe, nang han kang paek to hoih kue, tiah a naa. Kai khaeah mah om poe ah, tiah a naa.
20 And Iaakob serued seuen yeres for Rahel, and they seemed vnto him but a few dayes, because he loued her.
To pongah Rachel hak hanah saning sarihto thung tok a sak; toe Rachel to koeh pongah setta thung atue kalaem baktiah a poek.
21 Then Iaakob sayde to Laban, Giue me my wife, that I may goe in to her: for my terme is ended.
To pacoengah Jakob mah Laban khaeah, Ka zu na paek lai ah, ka toksakhaih atue doeh khawt boeh, anih hoi nawnto iih han ka koeh boeh, tiah a naa.
22 Wherefore Laban gathered together all the men of the place, and made a feast.
To pongah Laban mah to ahmuen ih kaminawk boih to kok moe, buh raenghaih a sak pae.
23 But whe the euening was come, he tooke Leah his daughter and brought her to him, and he went in vnto her.
Toe niduem naah loe a canu Leah to zaeh moe, Jakob khaeah a caeh haih; anih to Jakob mah iih haih.
24 And Laban gaue his mayde Zilpah to his daughter Leah, to be her seruant.
Laban mah a tamna Zilpah to a canu Leah khenzawnkung ah paek.
25 But when the morning was come, behold, it was Leah. Then sayde he to Laban, Wherefore hast thou done thus to mee? did not I serue thee for Rahel? wherfore then hast thou beguiled me?
Khenah, khawnbang khawnthaw ah loe, Leah ah oh pae ving; to pongah Jakob mah Laban khaeah, Tipongah hae tiah nang sak loe? Rachel han ah ni tok kang sak pae; tipongah kai nang ling loe? tiah a naa.
26 And Laban answered, It is not the maner of this place, to giue the yonger before the elder.
Laban mah, Kaicae prae ah loe, Canu kacoeh sava sah ai naah, kanawk sava sah sai ai.
27 Fulfill seuen yeeres for her, and we wil also giue thee this for the seruice, which thou shalt serue me yet seuen yeeres more.
Zu lakhaih ni sarihto boeng rae nasoe; to pacoengah saning sarihto toksah let ah, to naah canu kanawk doeh kang paek han, tiah a naa.
28 Then Iaakob did so, and fulfilled her seuen yeeres, so he gaue him Rahel his daughter to be his wife.
Jakob loe to tiah toksak hanah oh let; Leah hoi ni sarihto thung oh hoi pacoengah, Laban mah a canu Rachel to zu ah paek.
29 Laban also gaue to Rahel his daughter Bilhah his mayde to be her seruant.
Laban mah a tamna nongpata Billah to, a canu Rachel khenzawnkung tamna ah paek.
30 So entred he in to Rahel also, and loued also Rahel more then Leah, and serued him yet seuen yeeres more.
Jakob mah Rachel to iih haih; anih mah Leah pongah Rachel to palung kue; to pacoengah Laban hanah saning sarihto thung toksak pae let.
31 When the Lord saw that Leah was despised, he made her fruitful: but Rahel was barren.
Jakob mah Leah hnukma, tito Angraeng mah hnuk naah, anih ih caa im to paongh pae, toe Rachel loe caa kaak.
32 And Leah conceiued and bare a sonne, and she called his name Reuben: for she said, Because the Lord hath looked vpon my tribulation, now therefore mine husband will loue me.
Leah loe zokpomh moe, capa maeto sak; kai patangkhanghaih Angraeng mah hnuk boeh, vaihi loe ka sava mah na palung tih boeh, tiah a poek pongah, a capa to Reuben, tiah ahmin phui.
33 And she conceiued againe and bare a sonne, and sayde, Because the Lord heard that I was hated, he hath therefore giuen me this sonne also, and she called his name Simeon.
Anih loe zokpomh let moe, capa maeto sak; kai hnukmahaih to Angraeng mah ang panoek pae pongah, hae capa doeh ang paek let, tiah a thuih; to pongah Simeon, tiah ahmin sak.
34 And she conceiued againe and bare a sonne, and said, Now at this time wil my husband keepe mee company, because I haue borne him three sonnes: therefore was his name called Leui.
Anih loe zokpomh let moe, capa maeto sak; ka sava hanah capa thumto ka sak pae boeh pongah, anih loe kai khaeah ni akap tih boeh, tiah a thuih. To pongah Levi, tiah ahmin sak.
35 Moreouer shee conceiued againe and bare a sonne, saying, Nowe will I prayse the Lord: therefore shee called his name Iudah, and left bearing.
Anih loe zokpomh let moe, capa maeto sak, to naah vaihi loe Angraeng to ka pakoeh han boeh, tiah a thuih; to pongah Judah, tiah ahmin sak. To pacoeng loe anih caa sah ai boeh.
