¹Huan, aman, Laban tapaten, Jakob akipanin ahi, hiai thupina tengteng a muh, a chih uh a na zata a.

¹And he heard the words of Laban's sons, saying, Jacob hath taken away all that was our father's; and of that which was our father's hath he gotten all this glory.

²Huchiin Jakob in Laban mel a ena, huan, ngaiin tumalam bangin a tungah a hoih nawnkei chih a theia.

²And Jacob beheld the countenance of Laban, and, behold, it was not toward him as before.

³Huan, TOUPAN, Jakob kiangah, na pipute gamah leh na tanaute kiangah pai nawn ta in; na kiangah ka om jel ding hi, a chi a.

³And the LORD said unto Jacob, Return unto the land of thy fathers, and to thy kindred; and I will be with thee.

⁴Huchiin, Jakob in mi a sawla, gamlaka a gan hon om nalamah Rakil leh Lea a sama, huan, a kiang uah,

⁴And Jacob sent and called Rachel and Leah to the field unto his flock,

⁵Na pa uh mel ka muhin tumalam bangin ka tungah a hoih nawn kei chih ka theia; himahleh ka pa Pathian ka kiangah a om gige.

⁵And said unto them, I see your father's countenance, that it is not toward me as before; but the God of my father hath been with me.

⁶Nou leng na pa uh na ka theihtawpin ka sem chih na thei uh.

⁶And ye know that with all my power I have served your father.

⁷Himahleh na pa un honkhema, ka loh lah sawm veitak a hih lamdanga; himahleh Pathianin ka siatna ding a khoih a phal kei hi.

⁷And your father hath deceived me, and changed my wages ten times; but God suffered him not to hurt me.

⁸Gial petmaha gialte na loh ahi ding, a chih leh, gan tengtengin gial petmaha gialte a nei jel ua; huan, a gial tante na loh ahi ding, achih leh, gan tengtengin a gial tante a nei jel uh.

⁸If he said thus, The speckled shall be thy wages; then all the cattle bare speckled: and if he said thus, The ring-streaked shall be thy hire; then bare all the cattle ring-streaked.

⁹Huchibangin Pathianin na pa gante a laksaka, kei kiangah a hon peta hi.

⁹Thus God hath taken away the cattle of your father, and given them to me.

¹⁰Huan, hichi ahia, gante a gai pat lai un, ka mangin ka daka, huan, ngaiin, a pa, gan honte, a gial tante, gial petmaha gialte, a giala gial iakuakte ahi uh chih ka mu a.

¹⁰And it came to pass at the time that the cattle conceived, that I lifted up mine eyes, and saw in a dream, and, behold, the rams which leaped upon the cattle were ring-streaked, speckled, and grizzled.

¹¹Huan, ka mangin Pathian angelin, Jakob, honna chi a: huan, ken, Hiaiah ka om, ka chi a.

¹¹And the angel of God spake unto me in a dream, saying, Jacob: And I said, Here am I.

¹²Huan, aman, Dak inla, en in, apa gan honte tengteng, a gial tante, gial petmaha gialte. Agiala gial iakuakte ahi uh: Labanin na tunga a thilhih tengteng ka mu hi.

¹²And he said, Lift up now thine eyes, and see, all the rams which leap upon the cattle are ring-streaked, speckled, and grizzled: for I have seen all that Laban doeth unto thee.

¹³Kei, suangphuha sathau na nilha, ka kianga thu na chiamna Bethel, huai Bethel Pathian ka hi: tuin thou inla, hiai gam akipan pawt inla, na pianna gamah pai nawnta in, a chi a, achia.

¹³I am the God of Bethel, where thou anointedst the pillar, and where thou vowedst a vow unto me: now arise, get thee out from this land, and return unto the land of thy kindred.

¹⁴Huan, Rakil leh Lea in a dawng ua, a kiangah, Ka pa uh in ah kou dingin tantuan leh gouluah ding a om lailai ahia?

¹⁴And Rachel and Leah answered and said unto him, Is there yet any portion or inheritance for us in our father's house?

¹⁵Aman mikhual bang lela honsim hita lou hia? A hon khawng khinta a, ka man ulah a ne khinta ngala.

¹⁵Are we not counted of him strangers? for he hath sold us, and hath quite devoured also our money.

¹⁶Pathianin ka pa uh akipana sum a laksak tengteng ei leh I tate a ahi hi: huchiin Pathianin na kianga a gen peuhmah hihin, a chi ua.

¹⁶For all the riches which God hath taken from our father, that is ours, and our children's: now then, whatsoever God hath said unto thee, do.

¹⁷Huchiin, Jakob a thoua, a tapate leh a jite sangawngsau tungah a tuangsaka;

¹⁷Then Jacob rose up, and set his sons and his wives upon camels;

¹⁸Huan, Kanan gama a pa Isaak kianga pai dingin a gan tengteng leh a sum khol tengteng, a gan muhte, Paddan-aram gama a kholte, a paipih veka.

¹⁸And he carried away all his cattle, and all his goods which he had gotten, the cattle of his getting, which he had gotten in Padanaram, for to go to Isaac his father in the land of Canaan.

¹⁹Huan, Laban bel a belam mulmet dingin a pimang hi: huan, Rakilin a pa milimte a guksak.

¹⁹And Laban went to shear his sheep: and Rachel had stolen the images that were her father's.

²⁰Huan, Jakob Suria mi Laban theihlouh kalin a guk pai mang hi: a paimang ding thu a hilh kei hi.

²⁰And Jacob stole away unawares to Laban the Syrian, in that he told him not that he fled.

²¹Huchiin a neih tengteng toh a tai mangta a; huan, a thoua, luipi a kana, Gilead tang lam juanin a pai jel hi.

²¹So he fled with all that he had; and he rose up, and passed over the river, and set his face toward the mount Gilead.

²²Huan, a ni thum niin Jakob a taita chih Laban a hilh ua.

²²And it was told Laban on the third day that Jacob was fled.

²³Huchiin a unaute api a ni sagih lamtan a delh a; Gilead tangah a delh phata hi.

²³And he took his brethren with him, and pursued after him seven days' journey; and they overtook him in the mount Gilead.

²⁴Huan, Suria mi Laban kiangah janin a mangin Pathian a honga, a kiangah, Jakob kiangah a sia a pha a bangmah mah gen lou dingin pilvangin, a chi. Huan, Labanin Jakob a delh phata hi.

²⁴And God came to Laban the Syrian in a dream by night, and said unto him, Take heed that thou speak not to Jacob either good or bad.

²⁵Huan, Jakobin a puanin tangah a kai khina: huan, Labanin leng a unaute toh Gilead tangah a kai uh.

²⁵Then Laban overtook Jacob. Now Jacob had pitched his tent in the mount: and Laban with his brethren pitched in the mount of Gilead.

²⁶Huan, Labanin, Jakob kiangah, na thilhih hi bangchidan ahia oi ka theihlouh kala na guk pai manga, namsau salte bang maia ka tanute na pi mang?

²⁶And Laban said to Jacob, What hast thou done, that thou hast stolen away unawares to me, and carried away my daughters, as captives taken with the sword?

²⁷Bang ding a hon taimang sana, hon guk paisan a, nopsaknate toh, late toh, khuangta te toh, kaihgingte toh ka hon khak theihna dia na hon hilh louha;

²⁷Wherefore didst thou flee away secretly, and steal away from me; and didst not tell me, that I might have sent thee away with mirth, and with songs, with tabret, and with harp?

²⁸Ka tute leh ka tanute ka tawn phal lou oi? Haihuai takin ahi thil na hih.

²⁸And hast not suffered me to kiss my sons and my daughters? thou hast now done foolishly in so doing.

²⁹Hon hihse thei ka hi a; himahleh, na pa Pathianin, tu janin, Jakob kiangah a sia a pha bangmah mah genlou dingin pilvangin, chiin a honhoupih hi.

²⁹It is in the power of my hand to do you hurt: but the God of your father spake unto me yesternight, saying, Take thou heed that thou speak not to Jacob either good or bad.

³⁰Huan, na pa in na ngaih mahmah tak jiakin, pai ut hi tawk lechin zong, bangdia ka Pathian te hon guksak na hia? achia.

³⁰And now, though thou wouldest needs be gone, because thou sore longedst after thy father's house, yet wherefore hast thou stolen my gods?

³¹Huan, Jakobin a dawnga, Laban kiangah, ka lau jiak ahi; na tanute non laksak teitei kha ding, ka chi a ahi.

³¹And Jacob answered and said to Laban, Because I was afraid: for I said, Peradventure thou wouldest take by force thy daughters from me.

³²Kuapeuh na Pathian te na muh na a hing kei ding uh: I unaute mitmuhin nanga ka kianga om en chian inla, la ve, a chi a.

³²With whomsoever thou findest thy gods, let him not live: before our brethren discern thou what is thine with me, and take it to thee. For Jacob knew not that Rachel had stolen them.

³³Rakilin a na gu chih lah Jakobin a thei ngal keia. Huan, Laban bel Jakob puaninte ah, Lea puaninte ah, sikhanu nihte puaninte ah a lut jela; himahleh a mu kei. Huan, Lea puanin akipana pawta, Rakil puanin ah a lut nawna.

³³And Laban went into Jacob's tent, and into Leah's tent, and into the two maidservants' tents; but he found them not. Then went he out of Leah's tent, and entered into Rachel's tent.

³⁴Huan, Rakilin milimte a na laa, sangawngsau van lakah a na koiha, a na tutkhuma. Huan, Labanin a puanin sung tengteng a mai suak veka, himahleh a mu kei hi.

³⁴Now Rachel had taken the images, and put them in the camel's furniture, and sat upon them. And Laban searched all the tent, but found them not.

³⁵Huan, aman, a pa kiangah, Na maa ka din ngap louh jiakin ka toupa, hehken aw; numei omdan ngeina ka tunga a om laitak lah ahi ngala, achia. Huchiin a zongzong a, himahleh milimte a mu zo ta kei hi.

³⁵And she said to her father, Let it not displease my lord that I cannot rise up before thee; for the custom of women is upon me. And he searched but found not the images.

³⁶Huan, Jakob a hehta a, Laban a salta: Jakobin Laban kiangah bangah ka taleka, bangah ka khial a, hon delh na hia?

³⁶And Jacob was wroth, and chode with Laban: and Jacob answered and said to Laban, What is my trespass? what is my sin, that thou hast so hotly pursued after me?

³⁷Ka van tengteng na mai nung inleng, na insung van himhim banga na muh? Kou nihte non ngaihtuah theih na dingin ka unaute leh na unaute maah koihin.

³⁷Whereas thou hast searched all my stuff, what hast thou found of all thy household stuff? set it here before my brethren and thy brethren, that they may judge betwixt us both.

³⁸Kum sawm nih vengveng na kiangah ka omta; na belam pite leh na kel piten nou a nei khial ngei kei ua, na belam hon laka pate leng lah ka ne ngei ngal keia.

³⁸This twenty years have I been with thee; thy ewes and thy she goats have not cast their young, and the rams of thy flock have I not eaten.

³⁹Gamsa keih leng lah na kiangah ka hontun ngeingal keia: ken a mang sikin ka thuak zaw jela; suna guk hiam, jana guk hiam lah ka dit na phut ngitnget a.

³⁹That which was torn of beasts I brought not unto thee; I bare the loss of it; of my hand didst thou require it, whether stolen by day, or stolen by night.

⁴⁰Hichibangin ka om jel; sun a nisa leh jan a khovot in a hon hihgim thei mahmaha; ihmut leng ka mu ngeikei hi.

⁴⁰Thus I was; in the day the drought consumed me, and the frost by night; and my sleep departed from mine eyes.

⁴¹Huan, kum sawm nih sung teng na in ah ka oma; na tanu nihte loh dingin kum sawm leh kum li na na ka sema, na gante loh dingin kum guk ka sem nawna; ka loh lah sawm vei tak na hihlamdang ngal a.

⁴¹Thus have I been twenty years in thy house; I served thee fourteen years for thy two daughters, and six years for thy cattle: and thou hast changed my wages ten times.

⁴²Ka pa Pathian, Abraham Pathian, Isaak kihtak, ka kianga om lou hi ngial lehouh, tuin vuaktang lela honpaisak ngeingei ding na hi. Pathianin ka haksat thuakdan leh ka sepgim dan a mua, Tujana honvau ahi, achia.

⁴²Except the God of my father, the God of Abraham, and the fear of Isaac, had been with me, surely thou hadst sent me away now empty. God hath seen mine affliction and the labor of my hands, and rebuked thee yesternight.

⁴³Huan, Labanin a dawnga, Jakob kiangah, tanute kei tanu ahi ua, naupangte kei naupangte ahi ua, gante kei gante ahi ua, na muh tengteng keia vek ahi uh: tuniin hiai ka tanute tungah leh a ta neihte uh tungah bang ka hih thei dia?

⁴³And Laban answered and said unto Jacob, These daughters are my daughters, and these children are my children, and these cattle are my cattle, and all that thou seest is mine: and what can I do this day unto these my daughters, or unto their children which they have born?

⁴⁴Kisain, kei leh nang thu I khung ding; huai kei leh nang kalah theihna hi hen, a chi a.

⁴⁴Now therefore come thou, let us make a covenant, I and thou; and let it be for a witness between me and thee.

⁴⁵Huchiin, Jakobin suang a laa, suangphuh dingin a phuta.

⁴⁵And Jacob took a stone, and set it up for a pillar.

⁴⁶Huan, Jakobin a unaute kiangah, suang la khawm un, a chi a; huan, suang a la ua, achiang ua: huan, suangchian khawm kiangah an a ne uh.

⁴⁶And Jacob said unto his brethren, Gather stones; and they took stones, and made an heap: and they did eat there upon the heap.

⁴⁷Huan, Labanin huai suang chian khawm, Jegarsahadutha, a chi a; Jakobin bel Galeed, a chi hi.

⁴⁷And Laban called it Jegarsahadutha: but Jacob called it Galeed.

⁴⁸Huan, Labanin, hiai suang chian khawm tuiin kei leh nang kikalah theihna ahi, a chi a. Huaijiakin a min dingin Galeed chih a hita:

⁴⁸And Laban said, This heap is a witness between me and thee this day. Therefore was the name of it called Galeed;

⁴⁹Mizpa chih leng ahi, Labanin, kikhen a I om hun chiangin TOUPAN honveng tuaktuak hen,

⁴⁹And Mizpah; for he said, The LORD watch between me and thee, when we are absent one from another.

⁵⁰Ka tanute na suk gentheiha, ka tanute lou ji dang na neih leh, kuamah i kiangah a om kei na ua, enin, Pathian kei leh nang kal hontheihpihpa ahi, a chi ngala.

⁵⁰If thou shalt afflict my daughters, or if thou shalt take other wives beside my daughters, no man is with us; see, God is witness betwixt me and thee.

⁵¹Huan, Laban mahin, hiai suang chian khawm en lechin, keimah leh nangmah kikala hiai suang ka phuh leng enin.

⁵¹And Laban said to Jacob, Behold this heap, and behold this pillar, which I have cast betwixt me and thee:

⁵²Poi kikhoihsak dingin kei hiai suang khengin na kiang lamah ka hongpai kei ding, chih leh, nang leng hiai suang chian khawm leh hiai suang phuh khengin kei kiang lamah na hongpai kei ding chih, hiai suang chian a theihna hi henla, hiai suangphuh leng a theihna mah hi hen.

⁵²This heap be witness, and this pillar be witness, that I will not pass over this heap to thee, and that thou shalt not pass over this heap and this pillar unto me, for harm.

⁵³Abraham Pathian, Nahor Pathian, a pa uh Pathianin I kalah thu ngaihtuah hen, a chi nawna. Huan, Jakobin a pa Isaak kihtak louin a kichiamta.

⁵³The God of Abraham, and the God of Nahor, the God of their father, judge betwixt us. And Jacob sware by the fear of his father Isaac.

⁵⁴Huan, Jakobin tang ah kithoihna a lana a unaute tanghou ne dingin a sama; huchiin tanghou a ne ua, tang ah a giak chiat uhi.Huan, jingsang in beltakin Laban a thoua, a tute leh a tanute a tawpa, a vualjawla: huan, Laban a paia, amah omna lamah a pai

⁵⁴Then Jacob offered sacrifice upon the mount, and called his brethren to eat bread: and they did eat bread, and tarried all night in the mount.

⁵⁵Huan, jingsang in beltakin Laban a thoua, a tute leh a tanute a tawpa, a vualjawla: huan, Laban a paia, amah omna lamah a pai

⁵⁵And early in the morning Laban rose up, and kissed his sons and his daughters, and blessed them: and Laban departed, and returned unto his place.
