Asang Khongca Bible (Eastern Khumi Chin, 2019)
Douay-Rheims Bible, American Edition (1899)
1Jakob mah khet tahang naah, kami cumvai palito hoi nanwto angzo Esau to hnuk. To pongah nawktanawk to tapraek moe, Leah, Rachel hoi a tamna nongpata hnik khaeah a paek.
1And Jacob lifting up his eyes, saw Esau coming, and with him four hundred men: and he divided the children of Lia, and of Rachel, and of the two handmaids:
2A tamna nongpata hnik hoi a caanawk to hmaloe ah a caehsak, to pacoengah Leah hoi a caanawk to caehsak moe, hnukkhuem koekah Rachel hoi Joseph to caehsak.
2And he put both the handmaids and their children foremost: and Lia and her children in the second place: and Rachel and Joseph last.
3Angmah to hmahmanh moe, amya khaeah a phak naah, a hmaa ah long ah vai sarihto akuep pae.
3And he went forward and bowed down with his face to the ground seven times until his brother came near.
4Esau loe Jakob hnuk hanah cawnh moe takop; tahnong ah takoih moe, anih to mok; to pacoengah loe qah hoi hmaek.
4Then Esau ran to meet his brother, and embraced him: and clasping him fast about the neck, and kissing him, wept.
5Esau mah khet naah, nongpatanawk hoi a caanawk to hnuk; nang hoi nawnto kaom kaminawk loe mi aa? tiah a naa. Jakob mah, Nihcae loe Sithaw mah na tamna khaeah tahmenhaih hoi paek ih kaminawk ni, tiah a naa.
5And lifting up his eyes, he saw the women and their children, and said: What mean these? And do they belong to thee? He answered: They are the children which God hath given to me thy servant.
6To pacoengah a tamna hnik hoi a caanawk to angzoh o moe, anih hmaa ah akuep o.
6Then the handmaids and their children came near, and bowed themselves.
7To pacoengah Leah hoi a caanawk doeh anih khaeah angzoh o moe, akuep o; hnukkhuem koekah Rachel hoi Joseph to angzoh hoi moe, a hmaa ah akuep hoi toeng.
7Lia also with her children came near, and bowed down in like manner, and last of all Joseph and Rachel bowed down.
8Esua mah, Ka hnuk ih moinawk loe tih sak han ih aa? tiah a naa. Anih mah, Ka angraeng, na tahmenhaih ka hnuk thai hanah, nang hanah kang sinh pae, tiah a naa.
8And Esau said: What are the droves that I met? He answered: That I might find favour before my lord.
9Toe Esau mah, Kam nawk, Kai doeh ka tawnh mang bae, nangmah hanah mah suem ah, tiah a naa.
9But he said: I have plenty, my brother, keep what is thine for thyself.
10Jakob mah, Tahmenhaih hoiah na talawk paeh; na tahmenhaih ka tongh nahaeloe, ka sinh ih tangqum hae na talawk pae ah; na mikhmai ka hnuk hae, Sithaw mikhmai hnuk baktiah ni oh, na mikhmai panhaih to ka hnuk boeh.
10And Jacob said: Do not so I beseech thee, but if I have found favour in thy eyes, receive a little present at my hands: for I have seen thy face, as if I should have seen the countenance of God: be gracious to me,
11Nang han kang sinh ih taham ka hoihaih tangqumnawk hae na talawk pae ah, Sithaw mah ang tahmen pongah, ka ngaihaih boih ka tawnh boeh, tiah a naa. Jakob mah paek pae khruek pongah, Esau mah talawk pae.
11And take the blessing, which I have brought thee, and which God hath given me, who giveth all things. He took it with much ado at his brother’s earnest pressing him,
12To naah Esau mah, Caeh o si, kholong caeh amsak o si boeh, tiah a naa.
12And said: Let us go on together, and I will accompany thee in thy journey.
13Toe Jakob mah, Ka angraeng, nawktanawk loe saning nawk o vop moe, tapen kangtha tuu hoi maitawnawk doeh ka khetzawn han oh, tito na panoek; nito thung karangah ka caeh haih nahaeloe, moinawk hae dueh o boih tih.
13And Jacob said: My lord, thou knowest that I have with me tender children, and sheep, and kine with young: which if I should cause to be overdriven, in one day all the flocks will die.
14To pongah ka angraeng nang loe, na tamna hmaa ah caeh halat ah; kai loe moinawk to amzai ah huih moe, nawktanawk hoi nawnto ka angraeng ohhaih Seir mae ah amzaita hoi kang zoh han, tiah a naa.
14May it please my lord to go before his servant: and I will follow softly after him, as I shall see my children to be able, until I come to my lord in Seir.
15Esau mah, To tih nahaeloe kaimah ih kaminawk ahap kang caehtaak han, tiah a naa. Toe Jakob mah, Na koehhaih baktiah ka oh nahaeloe, tih han ih nihcae to caehtaak han angai tih loe? tiah a naa.
15Esau answered: I beseech thee, that some of the people at least, who are with me, may stay to accompany thee in the way. And he said: There is no necessity: I want nothing else but only to find favour, my lord, in thy sight.
16To pongah to na niah Esau loe Seir prae ah amlaem let.
16So Esau returned, that day, the way that he came, to Seir.
17Toe Jakob loe Sukkoth ah caeh, ohhaih ahmuen maeto a sak, angmah ih maitawnawk ohhaih im doeh a sak pae; to pongah to ahmuen to Sukkoth, tiah ahmin paek.
17And Jacob came to Socoth: where having built a house, and pitched tents, he called the name of the place Socoth, that is, Tents.
18Jakob loe Padan prae hoiah angzoh moe, Kanaan prae Shekem vangpui to kamong ah a phak, to vangpui phak tom naah ataihaih ahmuen to a sak.
18And he passed over to Salem, a city of the Sichemites, which is in the land of Chanaan, after he returned from Mesopotamia of Syria: and he dwelt by the town:
19Shekem ampa Hamor caanawk khae ih long to, phoisa cumvaito hoiah a qanh moe, to ahmuen ah ataihaih kahni im to a sak.
19And he bought that part of the field, in which he pitched his tents, of the children of Hemor, the father of Sichem for a hundred lambs.
20To ahmuen ah hmaicam maeto a sak pacoengah, El-Elohe-Israel, tiah ahmin sak.
20And raising an altar there, he invoked upon it the most mighty God of Israel.
