Genesis 30
1 Now Rachel, because she had no children, was full of envy of her sister; and she said to Jacob, If you do not give me children I will not go on living.
Tedae Rakhel loh Jakob ham ca cun pawh tila a hmuh vaengah Rakhel te a maya taengah thatlai. Te dongah Jakob la, “Kai he capa m'pae lah, te pawt koinih ka duek ni,” a ti nah.
2 But Jacob was angry with Rachel, and said, Am I in the place of God, who has kept your body from having fruit?
Te dongah Jakob kah a thintoek te Rakhel taengah sai tih, “Kai he nang bung kah a thaih aka hloh Pathen yueng la ka om a?,” a ti nah.
3 Then she said, Here is my servant Bilhah, go in to her, so that she may have a child on my knees, and I may have a family by her.
Tedae, “Ka taengom Bilhah taengah kun mai saw he. Te daengah ni ka khuklu ah ca han sak vetih anih lamloh kai khaw ka thoh eh?,” a ti nah.
4 So she gave him her servant Bilhah as a wife, and Jacob went in to her.
Te dongah a taengom Bilhah te a yuu la a paek tih Jakob loh anih taengah ip.
5 And Bilhah became with child, and gave birth to a son.
Bilhah khaw pumrhih tih Jakob ham ca a cun pah.
6 Then Rachel said, God has been my judge, and has given ear to my voice, and has given me a son; so he was named Dan.
Te vaengah Rakhel loh, “Pathen loh kai n'yan cakhaw ka ol te a yaak bal tih kai he ca tongpa m'paek coeng,” a ti. Te dongah anih ming te Dan a sui.
7 And again Bilhah, Rachel's servant, was with child, and gave birth to a second son.
Te phoeiah koep pumrhih tih Rakhel kah taengom Bilhah loh Jakob ham capa pabae te a cun pah.
8 And Rachel said, I have had a great fight with my sister, and I have overcome her: and she gave the child the name Naphtali.
Te vaengah Rakhel loh, “Pathen kah rhaknah dongah ka maya te ka hnueih tih ka na coeng,” a ti. Te dongah anih ming te Naphtali a sui.
9 When it was clear to Leah that she would have no more children for a time, she gave Zilpah, her servant, to Jacob as a wife.
Tedae Leah loh ca cun ham bawt coeng tila a hmuh dongah a taengom Zilpah te a khuen tih Jakob taengah a yuu la a paek.
10 And Zilpah, Leah's servant, gave birth to a son.
Te dongah Leah kah taengom Zilpah loh Jakob ham capa a cun pah.
11 And Leah said, It has gone well for me: and she gave him the name Gad.
Te vaengah Leah loh, “Yoekam loh a loh,” a ti dongah anih ming te Gad a sui.
12 And Zilpah, Leah's servant, gave birth to a second son.
Te phoeiah Leah kah taengom Zilpah loh Jakob ham capa pabae a cun pah hatah,
13 And Leah said, Happy am I! and all women will give witness to my joy: and she gave him the name Asher.
Leah loh, “Kai bahoeng ka omngaih, te dongah tanu rhoek loh kai he n'uem uh ni,” a ti tih anih ming te Asher a sak.
14 Now at the time of the grain-cutting, Reuben saw some love-fruits in the field, and took them to his mother Leah. And Rachel said to her, Let me have some of your son's love-fruits.
Cang ah tue vaengah Reuben te a caeh hantah lohma ah hloih a hmuh tih a manu Leah taengla a khuen. Te vaengah Rakhel loh Leah taengah, “Na capa kah hloih te kai hamla khueh mai,” a ti nah.
15 But Leah said to her, Is it a small thing that you have taken my husband from me? and now would you take my son's love-fruits? Then Rachel said, You may have him tonight in exchange for your son's love-fruits.
Tedae Leah loh anih la, “Ka va te nan rhawt tih rhoeh dae ka ca kah hloih te khaw na lo a ya? a ti nah hatah Rakhel loh, “Then, na capa kah hloih yueng la khoyin ah nang taengla yalh saeh,” a ti nah.
16 In the evening, when Jacob came in from the field, Leah went out to him and said, Tonight you are to come to me, for I have given my son's love-fruits as a price for you. And he went in to her that night.
Te dongah pong lamkah Jakob halo hlaem ah anih aka doe la Leah te cet tih, “Ka capa kah hloih neh nang a paang la kan paang coeng dongah kai taengah na ip ni,” a ti nah. Te dongah tekah khoyin ah anih taengla yalh.
17 And God gave ear to her and she became with child, and gave Jacob a fifth son.
Tedae Pathen loh Leah te a yaak dongah pumrhih tih Jakob ham a panga nah capa a cun pah.
18 Then Leah said, God has made payment to me for giving my servant-girl to my husband: so she gave her son the name Issachar.
Te vaengah Leah loh, “Ka va taengah kamah taengom ka paek dongah kai khaw Pathen loh thapang m'paek,” a ti tih anih ming te Issakhar a sui.
19 And again Leah became with child, and she gave Jacob a sixth son.
Te phoeiah Leah te koep pumrhih tih Jakob ham parhuk nah capa a cun.
20 And she said, God has given me a good bride-price; now at last will I have my husband living with me, for I have given him six sons: and she gave him the name Zebulun.
Te vaengah Leah loh, “Pathen loh kai he kutdoe then koep m'paek tih anih ham capa parhuk ka cun pah. Te dongah ka va loh kai n'hmaiben pawn ni,” a ti tih a ming te Zebulun a sui.
21 After that she had a daughter, to whom she gave the name Dinah.
Te phoeiah a hnuk la canu a cun tih a ming te Dinah a sui.
22 Then God gave thought to Rachel, and hearing her prayer he made her fertile.
Tedae Pathen loh Rakhel te a poek. Te dongah Pathen loh anih ol te a hnatun tih a bung te a ong pah.
23 And she was with child, and gave birth to a son: and she said, God has taken away my shame.
Te dongah pumrhih tih capa a cun hatah, “Kai kah kokhahnah he Pathen loh a coi sak,” a ti.
24 And she gave him the name Joseph, saying, May the Lord give me another son.
“BOEIPA loh kai ham capa a tloe han thap saeh,” a ti tih anih ming te Joseph a sui.
25 Now after the birth of Joseph, Jacob said to Laban, Let me go away to my place and my country.
Tedae Rakhel loh Joseph a sak phoeiah tah Jakob loh Laban taengah, “Kai he kamah hmuen la, kamah khohmuen ah pongpa ham n'tueih laeh.
26 Give me my wives and my children, for whom I have been your servant, and let me go: for you have knowledge of all the work I have done for you.
Ka yuu rhoek neh ka ca rhoek te m'pae. Amih ham nang taengah ka thotat tih ka thohtatnah khaw nang ham ni ka thohtat tila na ming coeng dongah ka cet pawn ni,” a ti nah.
27 And Laban said, If you will let me say so, do not go away; for I have seen by the signs that the Lord has been good to me because of you.
Tedae anih te Laban loh, “Nang kong ah BOEIPA loh ka yoe han then sak tila ka hmuhming. Nang mikhmuh ah mikdaithen la ka om atah bet om mai dae,” a ti nah.
28 Say then what your payment is to be and I will give it.
Te phoeiah, “Kai taengkah na thapang te mingpha sak lamtah kan paek bitni,” a ti nah.
29 Then Jacob said, You have seen what I have done for you, and how your cattle have done well under my care.
Te dongah Jakob loh Laban te, “Nang taengah ka thohtat te khaw, na boiva loh kai taengah a om te khaw na ming.
30 For before I came you had little, and it has been greatly increased; and the Lord has given you a blessing in everything I have done; but when am I to do something for my family?
Ka mikhmuh ah nang kah a yol ni a om dae a cungkuem te pungtai coeng. Te dongah BOEIPA loh nang te ka kho kung ah yoethen m'paek. Tedae me vaengah lae kai loh ka imkhui ham khaw ka saii coeng?,” a ti nah.
31 And Laban said, What am I to give you? And Jacob said, Do not give me anything; but I will again take up the care of your flock if you will only do this for me:
Te vaengah, “Nang te balae kan paek eh?,” a ti nah. Jakob loh, “Kai he pakhat khaw m'pae boeh, he ol he kai hamla nan khueh atah, ka mael neh na boiva te ka luem puei vetih ka dawn mai bitni.
32 Let me go through all your flock today, taking out from among them all the sheep which are marked or coloured or black, and all the marked or coloured goats: these will be my payment.
Tihnin ah nang kah boiva boeih taengla ka cet eh. Te lamkah tu boeih te rhikrhak neh a tairhi khaw, tuca khuikah tu pol boeih khaw, maae khuiah a tairhi neh rhikrhak khaw ka khoe saeh lamtah ka thapang la om saeh.
33 And so you will be able to put my honour to the test in time to come; if you see among my flocks any goats which are not marked or coloured, or any sheep which is not black, you may take me for a thief.
Na mikhmuh ah maae khui lamkah a rhikrhak neh a tairhi pawt boeih, tu khui lamkah a pol pawt te ka taengla a huen khaw, thangvuen khohnin kah ka thapang dongah na pai vaengah, kai yueng la ka duengnah thui nawn saeh.
34 And Laban said, Let it be as you say.
Te dongah Laban loh, “Namah olka bangla a om saeh ne,” a ti nah.
35 So that day he took all the he-goats which were banded or coloured, and all the she-goats which were marked or coloured or had white marks, and all the black sheep, and gave them into the care of his sons;
Te dongah amah khohnin ah maaetal a rhangcam neh a tairhi te khaw, maae nu rhikrhak neh a tairhi boeih te khaw, a soah aka bok boeih neh tuca khuikah aka pol boeih te a khoe tih a capa kut ah a tloeng pah.
36 And sent them three days' journey away: and Jacob took care of the rest of Laban's flock.
Te phoeiah hnin thum longcaeh te amah neh Jakob laklo ah hnalak a khueh. Te daengah Jakob loh Laban kah boiva la aka sueng rhoek te a luem sak.
37 Then Jacob took young branches of trees, cutting off the skin so that the white wood was seen in bands.
Tedae Jakob loh amah ham khabok neh yungkha neh hlimbok kah a hlaeng te thingsup la a loh. Te phoeiah a dakda aka bok te a hlih tih cungkui dongah a bok la a tai.
38 And he put the banded sticks in the drinking-places where the flock came to get water; and they became with young when they came to the water.
Te phoeiah thing hlaeng a baeh te tuilong ah khaw, tuisoi tui taengah khaw, tui ok hamla boiva a kun nah ah khaw, boiva hmai ah khaw a khueh pah. Te dongah tui o la a caeh uh vaengah a pacu uh.
39 And because of this, the flock gave birth to young which were marked with bands of colour.
Boiva te cungkui taengah a pacu tih boiva khaw a rhangcam, rhikrhak la thang tih a tairhi pah.
40 These lambs Jacob kept separate; and he put his flock in a place by themselves and not with Laban's flock.
Te vaengah Jakob loh tuca rhoek te a hoep tih Laban kah boiva khuikah a rhangcam neh aka pol boeih taengla boiva kah a hmai a khueh. Te phoeiah amah loh amah kah tuping te amah la hloep a khueh. Tedae te rhoek te Laban kah boiva taengah khueh pawh.
41 And whenever the stronger ones of the flock became with young, Jacob put the sticks in front of them in the drinking-places, so that they might become with young when they saw the sticks.
Te phoeiah om tih boiva loh a pa a cuk takuem vaengah a tanglue te tah cungkui taengah a pa a cuk sak ham Jakob loh cungkui te tuilong kah boiva hmuh ah a khueh.
42 But when the flocks were feeble, he did not put the sticks before them; so that the feebler flocks were Laban's and the stronger were Jacob's.
Tedae boiva te a rhae ngai atah a khueh pah pawt dongah a rhae rhoek te Laban ham om tih a tanglue te Jakob ham vik om.
43 So Jacob's wealth was greatly increased; he had great flocks and women-servants and men-servants and camels and asses.
Te dongah tekah hlang tah lut lut boei tih anih taengah boiva khaw, taengom neh sal khaw, kalauk neh laak khaw muep om.
