Genesis 28
1 Isaac called Jacob, blessed him, and commanded him, “You shall not take a wife of the daughters of Canaan.
To pongah Issak mah Jakob to kawk moe, anih to tahamhoihaih paek pacoengah, anih khaeah, Kanaan tanuh to zu ah la hmah.
2 Arise, go to Paddan Aram, to the house of Bethuel your mother’s father. Take a wife from there from the daughters of Laban, your mother’s brother.
Angthawk ah, nam no ih ampa Bethuel ohhaih Padan Aram ah caeh ah loe, to ah nam no ih thangqoi Laban ih canunawk to nangmah han zu ah la ah, tiah a naa.
3 May God Almighty bless you, and make you fruitful, and multiply you, that you may be a company of peoples,
Acaeng pop mang ai karoek to, Thacak Sithaw mah tahamhoihaih na paek nasoe loe, athaih taksak pacoengah, kami doeh pungsak nasoe;
4 and give you the blessing of Abraham, to you and to your offspring with you, that you may inherit the land where you travel, which God gave to Abraham.”
Sithaw mah Abraham khaeah paek ih prae to na toep hanah, Angraeng mah Abraham khaeah paek ih tahamhoihaih baktiah, vaihi angvin ah na ohhaih hae prae hae, nangmah hoi na caanawk khaeah paek nasoe, tiah a naa.
5 Isaac sent Jacob away. He went to Paddan Aram to Laban, son of Bethuel the Syrian, the brother of Rebekah, Jacob’s and Esau’s mother.
To pacoengah Issak mah Jakob to caehsak; anih loe Syria acaeng Bethuel capa, Jakob hoi Esau amno Rebekah ih thangqoi, Laban ohhaih Padan Aram ah caeh.
6 Now Esau saw that Isaac had blessed Jacob and sent him away to Paddan Aram, to take him a wife from there, and that as he blessed him he gave him a command, saying, “You shall not take a wife of the daughters of Canaan;”
Issak mah Jakob tahamhoihaih paek moe, zu lak hanah Padan Aram ah patoeh; tahamhoihaih paek naah, anih khaeah, Kanaan tanu to zu ah la hmah, tiah lok a thuih pae,
7 and that Jacob obeyed his father and his mother, and was gone to Paddan Aram.
Jakob loe amno hoi ampa ih lok to tahngaih moe, Padan Aram ah caeh, tito Esau mah panoek,
8 Esau saw that the daughters of Canaan didn’t please Isaac, his father.
Kanaan tanunawk zu ah ka lak pongah kam pa Issak poeknawm ai, tito Esau mah panoek naah,
9 So Esau went to Ishmael, and took, in addition to the wives that he had, Mahalath the daughter of Ishmael, Abraham’s son, the sister of Nebaioth, to be his wife.
Ishmael khaeah a caeh moe, Nebajoth ih tanuh, Abraham capa Ishmael ih canu Mahalath to zu ah lak let.
10 Jacob went out from Beersheba, and went towards Haran.
Jakob loe Beersheba hoiah amsak moe, Haran ah caeh.
11 He came to a certain place, and stayed there all night, because the sun had set. He took one of the stones of the place, and put it under his head, and lay down in that place to sleep.
Niduem boeh pongah, ahmuen maeto phak naah, aqum puek to ahmuen ah anghak; to ih thlungnawk to a lak moe, lu anghnoeng hanah a suek pacoengah, to ahmuen ah a iih.
12 He dreamt and saw a stairway set upon the earth, and its top reached to heaven. Behold, the angels of God were ascending and descending on it.
Amang ah tadong van khoek to kapha thlak maeto long ah oh; khenah, to thlak nuiah daw tahang moe, anghum tathuk, Sithaw ih van kaminawk to a hnuk.
13 Behold, the LORD stood above it, and said, “I am the LORD, the God of Abraham your father, and the God of Isaac. I will give the land you lie on to you and to your offspring.
Khenah, Angraeng loe thlak ranui ah anghnut moe, Kai loe nam pa Abraham ih Angraeng Sithaw hoi Issak ih Sithaw ah ka oh; nang songhaih ahmuen to nangmah hoi na caanawk khaeah ka paek han;
14 Your offspring will be as the dust of the earth, and you will spread abroad to the west, and to the east, and to the north, and to the south. In you and in your offspring, all the families of the earth will be blessed.
na caanawk loe long nui ih maiphu zetto pung o ueloe, niduem, ni angyae, aluek aloih bang khoek to koi o tih; nang hoi na caanawk rang hoiah long kaminawk boih tahamhoihaih hnu o tih.
15 Behold, I am with you, and will keep you, wherever you go, and will bring you again into this land. For I will not leave you until I have done that which I have spoken of to you.”
Khenah, nang to kang oh thuih han, na caehhaih ahmuen kruekah kang khetzawn moe, hae prae ah kang hoih let han; kang thuih ih lok koep ai karoek to kang caehtaak mak ai, tiah a naa.
16 Jacob awakened out of his sleep, and he said, “Surely the LORD is in this place, and I didn’t know it.”
Jakob loe iihhaih ahmuen hoiah angthawk pacoengah, hae ahmuen ah Angraeng oh tangtang, tito ka panoek ai, tiah thuih.
17 He was afraid, and said, “How awesome this place is! This is none other than God’s house, and this is the gate of heaven.”
Anih loe zit moe, Hae ahmuen loe zit kaom ahmuen ni; hae ahmuen loe tih kalah doeh na ai, toe Angraeng ih im ah ni oh; hae loe van khongkha ni, tiah a thuih.
18 Jacob rose up early in the morning, and took the stone that he had put under his head, and set it up for a pillar, and poured oil on its top.
Jakob loe khawnbang khawnthaw ah angthawk moe, lu koeng han suek ih thlung to a lak, thlung to a thlingh pacoengah, a nuiah situi to a bawh.
19 He called the name of that place Bethel, but the name of the city was Luz at the first.
Tangsuek naah loe to vangpui to Luz, tiah ahmin sak, toe to ahmuen to Bethel, tiah a paek.
20 Jacob vowed a vow, saying, “If God will be with me, and will keep me in this way that I go, and will give me bread to eat, and clothing to put on,
Jakob mah, Kai khaeah Sithaw oh moe, vaihi ka caehhaih loklam ah doeh ang khetzawn pacoengah, caaknaek hoi khukbuen doeh ang paek pongah,
21 so that I come again to my father’s house in peace, and the LORD will be my God,
kam pa im ah lunghoih ta hoi kam laem thai let nahaeloe, Angraeng loe ka Sithaw ah om ueloe,
22 then this stone, which I have set up for a pillar, will be God’s house. Of all that you will give me I will surely give a tenth to you.”
haeah ka thling ih thlung loe Angraeng ih im ah om tih; nang paek ih hmuennawk boih thung hoi hato thungah maeto kang paek han, tiah lokkamhaih a sak.
