1So Isaac called for Jacob and blessed him. “Do not take a wife from the Canaanite women,” he commanded.
1To pongah Issak mah Jakob to kawk moe, anih to tahamhoihaih paek pacoengah, anih khaeah, Kanaan tanuh to zu ah la hmah.
2“Go at once to Paddan-aram, to the house of your mother’s father Bethuel, and take a wife from among the daughters of Laban, your mother’s brother.
2Angthawk 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.
3May God Almighty bless you and make you fruitful and multiply you, so that you may become a company of peoples.
3Acaeng pop mang ai karoek to, Thacak Sithaw mah tahamhoihaih na paek nasoe loe, athaih taksak pacoengah, kami doeh pungsak nasoe;
4And may He give the blessing of Abraham to you and your descendants, so that you may possess the land where you dwell as a foreigner, the land God gave to Abraham.”
4Sithaw 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.
5So Isaac sent Jacob to Paddan-aram, to Laban son of Bethuel the Aramean, the brother of Rebekah, who was the mother of Jacob and Esau.
5To 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.
6Now Esau learned that Isaac had blessed Jacob and sent him to Paddan-aram to take a wife there, commanding him, “Do not marry a Canaanite woman,”
6Issak 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,
7and that Jacob had obeyed his father and mother and gone to Paddan-aram.
7Jakob loe amno hoi ampa ih lok to tahngaih moe, Padan Aram ah caeh, tito Esau mah panoek,
8And seeing that his father Isaac disapproved of the Canaanite women,
8Kanaan tanunawk zu ah ka lak pongah kam pa Issak poeknawm ai, tito Esau mah panoek naah,
9Esau went to Ishmael and married Mahalath, the sister of Nebaioth and daughter of Abraham’s son Ishmael, in addition to the wives he already had.
9Ishmael khaeah a caeh moe, Nebajoth ih tanuh, Abraham capa Ishmael ih canu Mahalath to zu ah lak let.
10Meanwhile Jacob left Beersheba and set out for Haran.
10Jakob loe Beersheba hoiah amsak moe, Haran ah caeh.
11On reaching a certain place, he spent the night there because the sun had set. And taking one of the stones from that place, he put it under his head and lay down to sleep.
11Niduem 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.
12And Jacob had a dream about a ladder that rested on the earth with its top reaching up to heaven, and God’s angels were going up and down the ladder.
12Amang 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.
13And there at the top the LORD was standing and saying, “I am the LORD, the God of your father Abraham and the God of Isaac. I will give you and your descendants the land on which you now lie.
13Khenah, 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;
14Your descendants will be like the dust of the earth, and you will spread out to the west and east and north and south. All the families of the earth will be blessed through you and your offspring.
14na 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.
15Look, I am with you, and I will watch over you wherever you go, and I will bring you back to this land. For I will not leave you until I have done what I have promised you.”
15Khenah, 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.
16When Jacob woke up, he thought, “Surely the LORD is in this place, and I was unaware of it.”
16Jakob loe iihhaih ahmuen hoiah angthawk pacoengah, hae ahmuen ah Angraeng oh tangtang, tito ka panoek ai, tiah thuih.
17And he was afraid and said, “How awesome is this place! This is none other than the house of God; this is the gate of heaven!”
17Anih 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.
18Early the next morning, Jacob took the stone that he had placed under his head, and he set it up as a pillar. He poured oil on top of it,
18Jakob 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.
19and he called that place Bethel, though previously the city had been named Luz.
19Tangsuek naah loe to vangpui to Luz, tiah ahmin sak, toe to ahmuen to Bethel, tiah a paek.
20Then Jacob made a vow, saying, “If God will be with me and watch over me on this journey, and if He will provide me with food to eat and clothes to wear,
20Jakob mah, Kai khaeah Sithaw oh moe, vaihi ka caehhaih loklam ah doeh ang khetzawn pacoengah, caaknaek hoi khukbuen doeh ang paek pongah,
21so that I may return safely to my father’s house, then the LORD will be my God.
21kam pa im ah lunghoih ta hoi kam laem thai let nahaeloe, Angraeng loe ka Sithaw ah om ueloe,
22And this stone I have set up as a pillar will be God’s house, and of all that You give me I will surely give You a tenth.”
22haeah 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.
