1Te phoeiah Jakob loh a kho a kan tih khothoeng ca rhoek kah khohmuen la cet.
1Jacob resumed his journey and came to the land of the people of the east.
2Te vaengah a sawt hatah lohma kah tuito khaw, tekah tuito lamkah tui te tuping a tul dongah tuping loh a kaep ah pathum la a kol uh khaw, tuito kah a rhai kah lungrhang te khaw lawt a hmuh.
2He looked and saw a well in the field, and near it lay three flocks of sheep, because the sheep were watered from this well. And a large stone covered the mouth of the well.
3Te la tuping boeih a tingtun vaengah tuito rhai kah lungto te a paluet uh tih boiva te a tul uh. Te phoeiah lungto te tuito kah a rhai ah amah hmuen la a khueh uh.
3When all the flocks had been gathered there, the shepherds would roll away the stone from the mouth of the well and water the sheep. Then they would return the stone to its place over the mouth of the well.
4Te dongah Jakob loh amih te, “Ka manuca rhoek nangmih he me lamkah rhoek lae,” a ti nah hatah, “Kaimih he Haran lamkah ni,” a ti uh.
4“My brothers,” Jacob asked the shepherds, “where are you from?” “We are from Haran,” they answered.
5Te phoeiah amih te, “Nakhaw capa Laban te na ming uh a? a ti nah hatah, “Ka ming uh ta,” a ti uh.
5“Do you know Laban the grandson of Nahor?” Jacob asked. “We know him,” they replied.
6Te dongah Jakob loh amih taengah, “Anih te a sading ngawn a? a ti nah hatah, “A sading tih a canu Rakhel khaw boiva neh halo ke,” a ti na uh.
6“Is he well?” Jacob inquired. “Yes,” they answered, “and here comes his daughter Rachel with his sheep.”
7Te vaengah, “Kho muep om pueng ta he, boiva a tingtun tue moenih. Boiva te tuitul, te phoeiah hlah lamtah luem sak,” a ti nah.
7“Look,” said Jacob, “it is still broad daylight; it is not yet time to gather the livestock. Water the sheep and take them back to pasture.”
8Tedae amih loh, “Tuping rhoek boeih tingtun tih tuito rhai lamkah lungto te ka paluet uh daengah ni boiva khaw tui ka tul uh. Ka paluet thai uh pawt atah ka tul uh thai pawh,” a ti uh.
8But they replied, “We cannot, until all the flocks have been gathered and the stone has been rolled away from the mouth of the well. Then we will water the sheep.”
9Amih te a voek li vaengah Rakhel loh a napa kah tu dawn ham tu neh ha puei uh.
9While he was still speaking with them, Rachel arrived with her father’s sheep, for she was a shepherdess.
10Tedae Jakob loh a nupu Laban canu Rakhel te khaw, a nupu Laban kah boiva te khaw a hmuh vanbangla Jakob te thoeih tih tuito rhai lamkah lungto te a paluet. Te phoeiah a nupu Laban kah boiva te tui a tul pah.
10As soon as Jacob saw Rachel, the daughter of his mother’s brother Laban, with Laban’s sheep, he went up and rolled the stone away from the mouth of the well and watered his uncle’s sheep.
11Te phoeiah Jakob loh Rakhel te a mok dae a ol a huel tih rhap.
11Then Jacob kissed Rachel and wept aloud.
12Tedae Jakob loh Rakhel taengah amah te a napa kah huiko neh Rebekah capa ni tila a puen dongah Rakhel te yong tih a napa taengah puen.
12He told Rachel that he was Rebekah’s son, a relative of her father, and she ran and told her father.
13Laban long khaw a ngannu capa Jakob kah olthang te a yaak van neh anih doe ham yong tih a kop phoeiah a mok tih amah im la a khuen vaengah hekah olka boeih te Laban taengah a tae pah.
13When Laban heard the news about his sister’s son Jacob, he ran out to meet him. He embraced him and kissed him and brought him to his home, where Jacob told him all that had happened.
14Te dongah Laban loh Jakob taengah, “Nang tah kamah rhuh neh saa pai ni,” a ti nah. Tedae anih taengah a khohnin hla la puet kho a sak.
14Then Laban declared, “You are indeed my own flesh and blood.” After Jacob had stayed with him a month,
15Te vaengah Laban loh Jakob taengah, “Nang he kamah huiko la na om dongah a hoeihae lam a kai taengah na thohtat eh? Kai taengah na thapang te thui,” a ti nah.
15Laban said to him, “Just because you are my relative, should you work for nothing? Tell me what your wages should be.”
16Te vaengkah Laban canu rhoi tah, a ham ming te Leah tih, a noe ming te Rakhel la om.
16Now Laban had two daughters; the older was named Leah, and the younger was named Rachel.
17Te vaengah Leah kah a mik te mongkawt dae Rakhel tah a suisak sakthen neh mueimae sakthen la om.
17Leah had weak eyes, but Rachel was shapely and beautiful.
18Tedae Jakob loh Rakhel te a lungnah dongah, “Na canu a noe Rakhel ham nang taengah kum rhih ka tho ka tat ni,” a ti nah.
18Since Jacob loved Rachel, he answered, “I will serve you seven years for your younger daughter Rachel.”
19Te dongah Laban loh, “Hlang tloe te ka paek lakah nang taengah anih kan paek te then ngai tih kamah taengah khosa mai,” a ti nah.
19Laban replied, “Better that I give her to you than to another. Stay here with me.”
20Te vaengah Jakob loh Rakhel ham kum rhih thotat dae anih te a lungnah dongah a mik ah hnin at bangla om.
20So Jacob served seven years for Rachel, yet it seemed but a few days because of his love for her.
21Te phoeiah Jakob loh Laban te, “Ka khohnin khaw cup coeng tih ka yuu te m'pae lamtah anih taengah ka yalh pawn ni,” a ti nah.
21Finally Jacob said to Laban, “Grant me my wife, for my time is complete, and I want to sleep with her.”
22Te dongah Laban loh te hmuen kah hlang boeih te a coi tih buhkoknah a saii.
22So Laban invited all the men of that place and prepared a feast.
23Tedae hlaem a pha vaengah tah a canu Leah te a khuen tih a paek dongah anih taengah Jakob yalh.
23But when evening came, Laban took his daughter Leah and gave her to Jacob, and he slept with her.
24Te phoeiah Laban loh a canu Leah taengah amah kah taengom Zilpah te taengom la a paek.
24And Laban gave his servant girl Zilpah to his daughter Leah as her maidservant.
25Tedae mincang ah tah Leah te tarha a om pah. Te dongah Laban te, “Kai taengah balae na saii he? Rakhel ham nang taengah ka thoh ka tat moenih a? Tedae balae tih kai nan phok,” a ti nah.
25When morning came, there was Leah! “What have you done to me?” Jacob said to Laban. “Wasn’t it for Rachel that I served you? Why have you deceived me?”
26Te vaengah Laban loh, “Kaimih kho ah caming hlanah a noe a paek ham te a saii noek moenih.
26Laban replied, “It is not our custom here to give the younger daughter in marriage before the older.
27Tahae yalh he a boeih phoeiah kai ham kum rhih koep na thohtat atah tekah thohtatnah yuengla anih te nang taengah kan paek bal ni,” a ti nah.
27Finish this week’s celebration, and we will give you the younger one in return for another seven years of work.”
28Te dongah Jakob loh a saii van tih tekah yalh a boeih phoeiah a canu Rakhel te anih yuu la amah taengah a paek.
28And Jacob did just that. He finished the week’s celebration, and Laban gave him his daughter Rachel as his wife.
29Te phoeiah Laban loh a canu Rakhel taengah amah kah taengom Bilhah te taengom la a paek.
29Laban also gave his servant girl Bilhah to his daughter Rachel as her maidservant.
30Te vaengah Rakhel taengah a yalh bal hatah Rakhel te Leah lakah a lungnah ngai dongah anih ham kum rhih koep thotat.
30Jacob slept with Rachel as well, and indeed, he loved Rachel more than Leah. So he worked for Laban another seven years.
31Leah te a hnoel te BOEIPA loh a hmuh dongah a bung tah a ong. Tedae Rakhel te a yaa sak.
31When the LORD saw that Leah was unloved, He opened her womb; but Rachel was barren.
32Te dongah Leah te pumrhih tih capa a cun hatah, “BOEIPA loh kai kah phacipphabaem te a hmuh tih ka va loh kai n'lungnah taktak pawn ni,” a ti. Te dongah a ming te Reuben a sui.
32And Leah conceived and gave birth to a son, and she named him Reuben, for she said, “The LORD has seen my affliction. Surely my husband will love me now.”
33Te phoeiah koep pumrhih tih capa a cun hatah, “Kai n'hnoel te BOEIPA loh a yaak dongah he khaw kai m'paek,” a ti. Te dongah anih ming te Simeon a sui.
33Again she conceived and gave birth to a son, and she said, “Because the LORD has heard that I am unloved, He has given me this son as well.” So she named him Simeon.
34Te phoeiah koep pumrhih tih capa a cun hatah, “Anih ham capa voei thum ka cun pah dongah ka va loh kai taengah naep pawn ni,” a ti. Te dongah anih ming te Levi a sui.
34Once again Leah conceived and gave birth to a son, and she said, “Now at last my husband will become attached to me, because I have borne him three sons.” So he was named Levi.
35Te phoeiah koep pumrhih tih capa a cun hatah, “BOEIPA te voei vai khaw ka uem eh?,” a ti. Te dongah anih ming te Judah a sui. Te phoeiah a ca cun te duem.
35And once more she conceived and gave birth to a son and said, “This time I will praise the LORD.” So she named him Judah. Then Leah stopped having children.
