< Genesis 30 >

1 And Rachel saw she had borne no children unto Jacob, so Rachel became envious of her sister, —and said unto Jacob, Come! give me children, or else, I die.
Jakob han caa maeto doeh sah pae ai, tito Rachel mah panoek naah, Rachel mah amya to ut; to pongah Jakob khaeah, Nawkta to na paek ah, to tih ai nahaeloe ka duek han boeh, tiah a naa.
2 Then kindled the anger of Jacob with Rachel, —and he said, Am I, in the place of God, who hath withheld from thee the fruit of the womb?
Jakob loe Rachel nuiah palungphui moe, anih khaeah, Kai loe nang caa kaaksak thaih Sithaw ah maw ka oh? tiah a naa.
3 And she said, Lo! my handmaid, Bilhah. Go in unto her, —that she may bear upon my knees, so that, I also, may be builded up by her!
To naah anih mah, Khenah, ka tamna Billah khaeah caeh ah, anih mah caa na sah pae nasoe, anih rang hoiah imthung takoh kang doet toeng han, tiah a naa.
4 And she gave him Bilhah her handmaid, to wife, —and Jacob went in unto her;
To pongah anih mah a tamna Billah to zu ah paek; anih to Jakob mah iih haih.
5 and Bilhah conceived, and bare unto Jacob a son;
Anih loe zokpomh moe, Jakob hanah capa mae to sak pae.
6 and Rachel said God hath vindicated me. Moreover also he hath hearkened unto my voice, and hath given me a son. For this cause, called she his name Dan.
To naah Rachel mah, Sithaw mah kai ang bomh, tahmen ka hnikhaih lok ang thaih pae moe, capa maeto ang paek boeh, tiah thuih; to pongah anih mah Dan, tiah ahmin phui.
7 And Bilhah, Rachel’s handmaid conceived again, and bare a second son to Jacob.
Rachel ih tamna Billah loe zokpomh let moe, Jakob hanah capa maeto sak pae let.
8 Then said Rachel With wrestlings of God, have I wrestled with my sister Yea I have prevailed. So she called his name, Naphtali.
Rachel mah, Kamya hoi kang pan hoi moe, ka pazawk boeh, tiah thuih. To pongah anih mah Naphtali, tiah ahmin sak.
9 Then saw Leah, that she had left off bearing, —so she took Zilpah, her handmaid, and gave her to Jacob to wife.
Leah mah doeh caa ka sah ai boeh, tiah panoek naah, a tamna Zilpah to caeh haih moe, Jakob han zu ah paek.
10 And Zilpah, Leah’s handmaid, bare to Jacob a son:
Leah ih tamna Zilpah mah Jakob han capa maeto sak pae.
11 and Leah said, Victory hath come! So she called his name Gad.
To naah Leah mah, Misatuh kami abu to angzoh, tiah thuih; to pongah anih mah Gad, tiah ahmin phui.
12 And Zilpah, Leah’s handmaid bare a second son to Jacob;
Leah ih tamna Zilpah mah Jakob hanah capa maeto sak pae let.
13 and Leah said, For my happiness, surely happy have daughters pronounced me. So she called his name, Asher.
To naah Leah mah, Kang hoe parai, nongpatanawk mah tahamhoih kami, tiah na kawk o tih, tiah thuih pongah, Asher, tiah ahmin phui.
14 Then went Reuben, in the days of the wheat harvest, and found mandrakes, in the field, and brought them in unto Leah his mother, and Rachel said unto Leah, Pray give me, some of the mandrakes of thy son
Cang aah tue naah, Reuben loe lawk ah caeh, to naah tasi ah patoh ih mandrake thaih to a hnuk moe, amno Leah khaeah sinh pae. Rachel mah Leah khaeah, Na capa mah sin ih tasi thingkung to na paek thoem ah, tiah a naa.
15 And she said to her, Is it, a small thing, that thou hast taken away my husband? And wouldst thou take away, even the mandrakes of my son? Then said Rachel, Therefore, shall he lie with thee to-night, for the mandrakes of thy son.
Toe anih mah, Ka sava nang lomh to khawt ai vop maw? Ka capa ih mandrake thaih doeh na lak bae han vop maw? tiah a naa. Rachel mah, Na capa ih mandrake thaih nang paek pongah, Jakob loe vaiduem nang khaeah iip nasoe, tiah a naa.
16 And Jacob came in from the field, in the evening, so Leah went out to meet him and said: Unto me, shalt thou come in, for I have hired, thee, even with the mandrakes of my son. And he lay with her that night,
Duembang ah Jakob loe lawk hoiah amlaem, anih to Leah mah dawt moe, Kai na iip haih ah, ka capa ih mandrake thaih hoiah nang kang tlai boeh, tiah a naa. To pongah to na qum ah anih khaeah a iih.
17 And God hearkened unto Leah, —and she conceived and bare to Jacob a fifth son.
Sithaw mah Leah ih lok to tahngaih pae, anih mah zokpomh let moe, Jakob hanah capa pangato haih sak pae let.
18 Then said Leah. God hath given my hire, in that I gave my handmaid to my husband. So she called his name, Issachar.
To naah Leah mah, Ka tamna nongpata to ka sava hanah ka paek pongah, Sithaw mah kai han tangqum ang paek, tiah thuih; to pongah anih to Issakar, tiah ahmin phui.
19 And Leah conceived again and bare a sixth son to Jacob.
To pacoengah Leah loe zokpomh let, Jakob hanah capa tarukto haih sak pae let.
20 Then said Leah, God hath dowered me even me with a hand-some dowry, Now! will my husband dwell with me, for I have borne him six sons. So she called his name, Zebulon.
To naah Leah mah, Sithaw mah atho kana tangqum kai han ang paek boeh, ka sava hanah capa tarukto ka sak pae boeh pongah, vaihi loe kai khaeah ni om tih boeh, tiah thuih; to pongah anih to Zebulun, tiah ahmin sak.
21 And afterwards she bare a daughter, —so she called her name, Dinah.
To pacoengah canu maeto sak moe, anih to Dinah, tiah ahmin phui.
22 Then God remembered Rachel, —and God hearkened unto her, and granted her to bear.
To naah Sithaw mah Rachel to poek, Sithaw mah anih ih lok tahngaih pae moe, anih ih caa im to paongh pae.
23 So she conceived and bare a son, —and said, God hath taken away my reproach;
Anih loe zokpomh moe, capa maeto sak; Sithaw mah patoekhaih ang takhoe pae boeh, tiah a thuih;
24 So she called his name Joseph, saying, Yahweh is adding unto me another son.
to pongah anih ih ahmin to Joseph, tiah sak; Angraeng mah kalah capa na paek let nasoe, tiah a thuih.
25 And it came to pass, when Rachel had borne Joseph, that Jacob said unto Laban, Let me go that I may take my journey, unto my place, and to my land.
Rachel mah Joseph tapen pacoengah loe, Jakob mah Laban khaeah, Ka ohhaih ahmuen, ka prae ah, na caehsak lai ah.
26 Come, give me my wives and my children for whom I have served thee and let me take my journey, —for, thou, knowest my service wherewith I have served thee.
Ka zu hoi ka caanawk han tok kang sak pae baktih toengah, nihcae to na paek ah loe, na caehsak lai ah; nazetto maw nang hanah tok kang sak pae, tito na panoek, tiah a naa.
27 And Laban said unto him, If, I pray thee, I have found favour in thine eyes, …I have divined that Yahweh hath blessed me for thy sake.
Toe Laban mah anih khaeah, Na mikcuk naakrak ah ka oh nahaeloe, om raeh; nang pongah ni Angraeng mah tahamhoihaih ang paek, tito ka panoek, tiah a naa.
28 And he said, —Come, fix thy wages for me, that I may give it!
To pacoengah, Na toksakhaih atho thui ah kang paek han hmang, tiah a naa.
29 And he said unto him, Thou, knowest how I have served thee, —and how thy cattle have fared, with me.
Jakob mah anih khaeah, Kawbang maw tok kang sak pae moe, na pacah ih moinawk doeh ka ban thungah kawbang maw pung o, tito na panoek boeh.
30 For it was, little, that thou hadst—before I came and then it brake forth into multitude, and Yahweh blessed thee at my every step. Now, therefore, when am, I, also to do something for my own house?
Kai kang zo ai naah hmuen zetta ni na tawnh, vaihi loe pung parai boeh; kai kang zoh nathuem hoi kamtong Angraeng mah tahamhoihaih ang paek boeh; kaimah ih imthung takoh hanah loe natuek naah maw tok ka sah tih boeh? tiah a naa.
31 And he said, What shall I give thee? And Jacob said: Thou shall give me, nothing at all, If thou wilt do for me this thing, I will return, I will shepherd thy flock I will keep it:
Anih mah, To tih nahaeloe timaw kang paek han? tiah a naa. Jakob mah, Tidoeh na paek hmah; toe ka koeh baktiah nang sak pae nahaeloe, nang ih tuunawk to kang toep pae poe han.
32 Let me pass through all thy flock to-day, removing from thence every young one that is speckled and spotted and every young one that is dark-coloured among the young sheep, and spotted and speckled among the goats, and they shall be my wages.
Vaihniah nang tuu pacahhaih ahmuen ah ka caeh moe, aem kaom tuunawk, kamnum hoi kanglung angbaeh tuunawk hoi aem kaom maeh caanawk to ka tapraek han; aem kaom maeh, kamnum hoi kanglung angbaeh tuunawk loe ka toksakhaih atho ah om nasoe.
33 And my righteousness shall answer for me on a future day, when thou shall come in respecting my hire that is before thee, Every one that is not speckled and spotted among the goats and dark-coloured among the young sheep, stolen, shall it be accounted, if found with me.
To tiah ni hmabang ah ka toksakhaih atho na hmaa ah phak naah, ka toenghaih mah kai han lok na thui tih; kai taham moinawk thungah aem kaom ai maeh, kamnum hoi kanglung angbaeh ai tuucaanawk om nahaeloe, to maeh hoi tuu loe kai mah paquk, tiah amnoek thai tih, tiah a naa.
34 Then said Laban, Lo! would it might be according to thy word!
Laban mah, Khenah, na thuih ih lok baktiah om nasoe, tiah a naa.
35 So he removed, on that day, the he-goats that were striped and spotted and all the she-goats that were speckled and spotted, every one that had white in it, and every dark-coloured one among the young sheep, —and delivered them into the hand of his sons;
To na niah anih mah aem kaom maeh, aem kaom maeh amno, kanglung hoi aem kaom maeh, rong kamunm hoi kamling angbaeh tuucaanawk to pahoe boih moe, a caanawk ban ah paek.
36 then put he a journey of three days between himself and Jacob, —but, Jacob himself, continued tending the flocks of Laban that were left.
Angmah ohhaih ahmuen hoi Jakob ohhaih ahmuen loe ni thumto caeh, to ahmuen ah tuunawk to a suek; Jakob loe kanghmat Laban ih tuunawk to toep pae.
37 So then Jacob took him rods of young storax, and hazel and maple, —and peeled in them white stripes, laying bare the white which was on the rods.
Toe Jakob loe Poplar thing, almond thing hoi azawn ah kaom kahing thing tanghang to lak moe, a thung ih ngan kanglung to amtuengsak hanah, ahin to a saih.
38 And he set the rods which he had peeled, in the channels in the troughs of water, —where the flocks came in to drink straight before the flocks, and the females of the flock used to be in heat when they came in to drink;
Tuunawk tuinaek han angzoh o naah apa cuuk o pongah, angan kanglung amtueng hanah ahin saih ih thing to tuunawk mah hnuk o thai hanah, tui naekhaih okduk hmaa ah a suek pae.
39 and the males of the flock were in heat before the rods, —so the flocks brought forth ring-straked, speckled, and spotted.
To naah a suek ih thing hmaa ah tuunawk to apaa cuuk o, to pongah caa tapen naah doeh aem kaom ah tacawt boih.
40 The rams also, did Jacob separate, and then set the faces of the flocks towards the ring-straked and all the dark-coloured, among the flocks of Laban, —and he put his own droves by themselves, and put them not with the flocks of Laban.
Jakob mah tuucaanawk hoi maeh caanawk to ahmuen kalah ah tapraek moe, aem kaom tuu hoi maeh, kamnum hoi kamling angbaeh tuu hoi maehnawk to Laban ih tuu pacahhaih ahmuen bangah angqoisak; to tiah Laban ih tuu hoi angmah ih tuunawk to angbaeh han ai ah a suek.
41 So it came to pass whensoever the stronger of the flocks were in heat, that Jacob set the rods before the eyes of the flocks in the channels, —that the females might be in heat among the rods;
Thacak tuunawk apa cuuk han koeh o naah, ahin saih ih thing taengah apa cuuk o pongah, Jakob mah ahin saih ih thing to tui paekhaih okduk hmaa ah suek pae.
42 but, when the flocks were late in bearing, he did not set them, —and so the late-born were Laban’s, but the strong ones Jacob’s.
Toe tuunawk thazok o naah loe, ahin saih ih thing to suem pae ai; to pongah thazok tuunawk loe Laban ih tuu ah oh moe, thacak tuunawk loe Jakob ih tuu ah oh o.
43 Thus did the man break forth, exceedingly, —thus came he to have flocks in abundance, and maid-servants, and men-servants and camels and asses.
To tiah Jakob loe angraeng parai; tuunawk, maehnawk, tamna nongpa hoi nongpatanawk, kaengkuu hrang hoi laa hrangnawk a tawnh mang.
