¹Then Jacob went on his journey, and came into the land of the people of the east.

¹Laj Jacob qui-oc cuißchic chi xic saß li tenamit Harán. Quicuulac saß li naßajej li cuan saß xjayal li na-el cuiß chak li sakße.

²And he looked, and behold a well in the field, and, lo, there were three flocks of sheep lying by it; for out of that well they watered the flocks: and a great stone was upon the well's mouth.

²Quiril nak cuan jun becbil haß saß li ru takßa. Oxib chßût li carner yôqueb chi hilânc chire li haß xban nak aran nequeßrisi rucßaheb li carner. Jun nimla pec nacßanjelac chokß xtzßapbal re li becbil haß.

³And thither were all the flocks gathered: and they rolled the stone from the well's mouth, and watered the sheep, and put the stone again upon the well's mouth in his place.

³Nak nequeßoc xqßuebal rucßaheb li carner, eb laj ilol re li xul nequeßrisi li pec. Nak nequeßrakeß xqßuebal rucßa, nequeßxtzßap cuißchic.

⁴And Jacob said unto them, My brethren, whence be ye? And they said, Of Haran are we.

⁴Laj Jacob quixpatzß reheb laj ilol xul: —Ex cuas cuîtzßin, ¿bar cuan lê tenamit?— Eb aßan queßxye re: —Harán xcßabaß li katenamit, chanqueb.

⁵And he said unto them, Know ye Laban the son of Nahor? And they said, We know him.

⁵Laj Jacob quixye cuißchic reheb, —¿Ma nequenau ru laj Labán li ralal laj Nacor? chan. Eb aßan queßchakßoc ut queßxye re: —Nakanau ru.—

⁶And he said unto them, Is he well? And they said, He is well: and, behold, Rachel his daughter cometh with the sheep.

⁶Laj Jacob quixpatzß cuißchic reheb: —¿Ma sa saß xchßôl laj Labán?— Eb aßan queßchakßoc ut queßxye: —Sa saß xchßôl. Ilon aran. Li ixk li yô chak chi châlc rochben lix carner, aßan lix Raquel lix rabin laj Labán, chanqueb.

⁷And he said, Lo, it is yet high day, neither is it time that the cattle should be gathered together: water ye the sheep, and go and feed them.

⁷Ut laj Jacob quixye reheb: —Toj cutan cuanco. ¿Cßaßut nak ac oc êre chixtzßapbaleb li carner anakcuan? Qßuehomakeb cuan chi ucßac ut têqßueheb ajcuiß chi ichajibc, chan.

⁸And they said, We cannot, until all the flocks be gathered together, and till they roll the stone from the well's mouth; then we water the sheep.

⁸Ut eb aßan queßxye re: —Anakcuan incßaß naru xqßuebal rucßaheb. Takoybeni toj teßchßutlâk chixjunileb li carner tojoßnak takisi li xtzßapbal re li haß re nak naru takaqßueheb chi ucßac chixjunileb li carner, chanqueb.

⁹And while he yet spake with them, Rachel came with her father's sheep; for she kept them.

⁹Toj yô ajcuiß chi âtinac laj Jacob riqßuineb li cuînk nak quicuulac lix Raquel rochbeneb lix carner. Aßan na-iloc re lix carner lix yucuaß.

¹⁰And it came to pass, when Jacob saw Rachel the daughter of Laban his mother's brother, and the sheep of Laban his mother's brother, that Jacob went near, and rolled the stone from the well's mouth, and watered the flock of Laban his mother's brother.

¹⁰Lix Raquel, aßan xrabin laj Labán; ut laj Labán, aßan ras lix naß laj Jacob. Nak quiril lix Raquel, laj Jacob cô saß junpât chirisinquil li nimla pec li tzßaptzßo cuiß li re li haß ut quixqßueheb chi ucßac li carner.

¹¹And Jacob kissed Rachel, and lifted up his voice, and wept.

¹¹Laj Jacob quirutzß ru lix Raquel ut quiyâbac xban xsahil saß xchßôl.

¹²And Jacob told Rachel that he was her father's brother, and that he was Rebekah's son: and she ran and told her father.

¹²Laj Jacob quixye re lix Raquel: —Lin naß lâin, aßan lix Rebeca li rîtzßin lâ yucuaß. Lâo kacomon kib, chan. Ut lix Raquel cô saß junpât chixyebal re lix yucuaß nak quiâtinac riqßuin laj Jacob lix comoneb.

¹³And it came to pass, when Laban heard the tidings of Jacob his sister's son, that he ran to meet him, and embraced him, and kissed him, and brought him to his house. And he told Laban all these things.

¹³Nak laj Labán quirabi resil nak laj Jacob cuan aran, quiâlinac saß junpât chixcßulbal. Nak quicuulac cuan cuiß laj Jacob, quixkßalu ut quirutzß ru. Ut saß junpât quixbok saß rochoch. Laj Jacob najt quiserakßic riqßuin laj Labán.

¹⁴And Laban said to him, Surely thou art my bone and my flesh. And he abode with him the space of a month.

¹⁴Ut laj Labán quixye re laj Jacob: —Relic chi yâl nak tzßakal kacomon kib ut kaquiqßuel kib, chan. Ut laj Jacob quicana saß rochoch laj Labán.

¹⁵And Laban said unto Jacob, Because thou art my brother, shouldest thou therefore serve me for nought? tell me, what shall thy wages be?

¹⁵Ac jun po chic roquic laj Jacob aran nak laj Labán quixye re: —Lâat yôcat chi trabajic cuiqßuin ut toj mâjiß nacatintoj. Lâin nincßoxla nak tento tatintoj usta kacomon kib. Ye cue joß nimal tâcuaj tatintoj cuiß. Lâin tintoj joß nimal tâpatzß, chan.

¹⁶And Laban had two daughters: the name of the elder was Leah, and the name of the younger was Rachel.

¹⁶Laj Labán cuan cuib lix rabin. Li asbej, aßan xLea xcßabaß ut li îtzßinbej, aßan xRaquel xcßabaß.

¹⁷Leah was tender eyed; but Rachel was beautiful and well favored.

¹⁷Lix Lea incßaß chßinaßus na-iloc. Ut lix Raquel, aßan chßinaßus na-iloc.

¹⁸And Jacob loved Rachel; and said, I will serve thee seven years for Rachel thy younger daughter.

¹⁸Laj Jacob cô xchßôl chirix lix Raquel ut quixye re laj Labán: —Lâin tintrabajik cuukub chihab âcuiqßuin re nak tâqßue chokß cuixakil lix Raquel li îtzßinbej, chan.

¹⁹And Laban said, It is better that I give her to thee, than that I should give her to another man: abide with me.

¹⁹Laj Labán quixye re: —Chokß cue lâin us nak âcue tinqßue lin rabin. Chi joßcan incßaß tinqßue re junak mâcuaß kacomon. Anakcuan tatcanâk kiqßuin, chan.

²⁰And Jacob served seven years for Rachel; and they seemed unto him but a few days, for the love he had to her.

²⁰Cuukub chihab tzßakal quitrabajic laj Jacob re nak tixcßam lix Raquel chokß rixakil. Laj Jacob incßaß quirecßa nak quinumeß li cuukub chihab xban nak cßajoß nak naxra lix Raquel.

²¹And Jacob said unto Laban, Give me my wife, for my days are fulfilled, that I may go in unto her.

²¹Nak quinumeß li cuukub chihab, laj Jacob quixye re laj Labán: —Anakcuan xcuulac xkßehil nak tâkßaxtesi lâ rabin chokß cuixakil xban nak ac xnumeß cuukub chihab cuoquic chi trabajic âcuiqßuin, chan.

²²And Laban gathered together all the men of the place, and made a feast.

²²Laj Labán quixbânu jun li ninkße saß xsumlajic lix rabin ut quixbokeb chixjunil li rech cabal.

²³And it came to pass in the evening, that he took Leah his daughter, and brought her to him; and he went in unto her.

²³Abanan chiru li kßojyîn aßan laj Labán quixkßaxtesi lix Lea re laj Jacob. Ut laj Jacob quicuan riqßuin.

²⁴And Laban gave unto his daughter Leah Zilpah his maid for an handmaid.

²⁴Laj Labán quixqßue jun xmôs ixk lix Lea. Li ixk aßan xZilpa xcßabaß.

²⁵And it came to pass, that in the morning, behold, it was Leah: and he said to Laban, What is this thou hast done unto me? did not I serve with thee for Rachel? wherefore then hast thou beguiled me?

²⁵Joß cuulajak chic laj Jacob quixqßue retal nak aß lix Lea li quikßaxtesîc re. Ut laj Jacob cô riqßuin laj Labán ut quixye re, —Incßaß us xabânu cue. ¿Cßaßut nak xabânu cue chi joßcaßin? ¿Ma mâcuaß ta biß lix Raquel xintoj rix nak xintrabajic âcuiqßuin? ¿Cßaßut nak xinâbalakßi chi joßcaßin? chan laj Jacob.

²⁶And Laban said, It must not be so done in our country, to give the younger before the firstborn.

²⁶Ut laj Labán quixye re: —Lâo moco cßaynako ta nak xbên cua li îtzßinbej takasumub.

²⁷Fulfil her week, and we will give thee this also for the service which thou shalt serve with me yet seven other years.

²⁷Numekß cuan jun xamânak lâ sumlajic riqßuin lix Lea, tojoßnak tinqßue âcue lix Raquel. Abanan tento nak tattrabajik cuukubak chihab chic cuiqßuin, chan laj Labán.

²⁸And Jacob did so, and fulfilled her week: and he gave him Rachel his daughter to wife also.

²⁸Quixcßul xchßôl laj Jacob li cßaßru quiyeheß re xban laj Labán. Nak quinumeß li jun xamân lix sumlajic laj Jacob riqßuin lix Lea, laj Labán quixkßaxtesi lix Raquel re laj Jacob. Ut laj Jacob quisumla riqßuin.

²⁹And Laban gave to Rachel his daughter Bilhah his handmaid to be her maid.

²⁹Laj Labán quixqßue jun xmôs ixk lix Raquel. Li môs aßan xBilha xcßabaß.

³⁰And he went in also unto Rachel, and he loved also Rachel more than Leah, and served with him yet seven other years.

³⁰Laj Jacob quixlakßab rib riqßuin lix Raquel ut aßan li kßaxal quixra chiru lix Lea. Ut laj Jacob quitrabajic cuukub chihab chic riqßuin laj Labán.

³¹And when the LORD saw that Leah was hated, he opened her womb: but Rachel was barren.

³¹Li Kâcuaß Dios quiril nak lix Lea incßaß naraheß xban laj Jacob. Joßcan nak li Kâcuaß Dios quixqßue chi cuânc xcocßal. Abanan lix Raquel incßaß quiqßueheß xcocßal.

³²And Leah conceived, and bare a son, and she called his name Reuben: for she said, Surely the LORD hath looked upon my affliction; now therefore my husband will love me.

³²Lix Lea quicana chi yaj aj ixk. Quicuan jun lix cßulaßal. Lix Lea quixye: —Li Kâcuaß Dios quixnau nak quirahoß saß inchßôl junxil. Anakcuan tinixra chic lin bêlom, chan. Joßcan nak aj Rubén quixqßue chokß xcßabaß lix cßulaßal.

³³And she conceived again, and bare a son; and said, Because the LORD hath heard I was hated, he hath therefore given me this son also: and she called his name Simeon.

³³Ut lix Lea quicuan jun chic lix cßulaßal ut quixqßue aj Simeón chokß xcßabaß. Ut quixye: —Li Kâcuaß Dios quixnau nak incßaß ninraheß. Joßcan nak xqßue jun chic lin cßulaßal, chan.

³⁴And she conceived again, and bare a son; and said, Now this time will my husband be joined unto me, because I have born him three sons: therefore was his name called Levi.

³⁴Ut quicuan jun chic xcßulaßal lix Lea ut quixqßue aj Leví chokß xcßabaß. Lix Lea quixye: —Anakcuan ac xcuan oxib li ralal laj Jacob cuiqßuin.

³⁵And she conceived again, and bare a son: and she said, Now will I praise the LORD: therefore she called his name Judah; and left bearing.

³⁵Ut lix Lea quicuan jun chic xcßulaßal ut quixqßue aj Judá chokß xcßabaß. Quixye: —Anakcuan tinlokßoni li Kâcuaß Dios riqßuin li usilal xbânu cue, chan. Chirix li câhib chi cocßal aßin, toj mâjiß chic quicuan xcocßal lix Lea.
