1Hichun Rachel'in Jacob cha ahinpeh lou akihetchet phat in asopinu athangset pin, hijeh chun Jacob kom'a atao tan, “Keijong cha le nao nei hinpeh in achuti louleh keima thi ding kanom jotai!” atin ahi.When Rachel saw that she was not bearing any children for Jacob, she envied her sister. “Give me children, or I will die!” she said to Jacob.

2Jacob chu Rachel chunga alunghang jah jengin, “Keima Pathen kahipoi Ama ahi chanei louva nakoi, na naobu khah tan achu!” ati.Jacob became angry with Rachel and said, “Am I in the place of God, who has withheld children from you?”

3Hichun Rachel in adonbut in, “Kasohnu, Bilhah hi, galup khompi tan, chutile amanun nao eihinpeh intin chua konna chu keiman jong ka chilhah insung kaki semdoh thei ding ahi,” ati.Then she said, “Here is my maidservant Bilhah. Sleep with her, that she may bear children for me, so that through her I too can build a family.”

4Rachel in Bilhah, asohnu chu, Jacob ji din apetai chuin Jacob in Bilhah chu akitimatpi tai.So Rachel gave Jacob her servant Bilhah as a wife, and he slept with her,

5Bilhah in nao ahinvop in Jacob dingin chapa khat ahinpeh tai.and Bilhah conceived and bore him a son.

6Hichun Rachel in aseiye, “Pathen'in ka lunggel eisuh bulhitpeh tai! Chule kataona jong eisanpeh in chapa eipe tai” atin hijeh chun naosen min chu Dan asahtai.”Then Rachel said, “God has vindicated me; He has heard my plea and given me a son.” So she named him Dan.

7Chuin Rachel sohnu Bilhah chun nao avopkit in Jacob chapa anina ahinpeh kittai.And Rachel’s servant Bilhah conceived again and bore Jacob a second son.

8Hichun Rachel'in, “Keiman ka sopinu toh hatah a kaki set delna lhon a keiman kajou tai!” atin hichun naosen min chu Naphtali asah tai.Then Rachel said, “In my great struggles, I have wrestled with my sister and won.” So she named him Naphtali.

9Leah in nao aneikit tah louding ahin kihetdoh phat in asohnu Zilpah chu jidin apetai.When Leah saw that she had stopped having children, she gave her servant Zilpah to Jacob as a wife.

10Hijeh chun Leah sohnu Zilpah chun Jacob dingin chapa khat ahinpeh tai.And Leah’s servant Zilpah bore Jacob a son.

11Hichun Leah in hitin aseiye, “Hamphat aum bouve,” atin naosen min chu “Gad” asah tai.Then Leah said, “How fortunate!” So she named him Gad.

12Hichun Leah sohnu Zilpah chun Jacob chapa anina chu ahinpeh kit in ahi.When Leah’s servant Zilpah bore Jacob a second son,

13Leah chun aseiye, “Keiya din iti thanop um hitam! Tua hi numei dang jousen hatah a eikipapi diu ahitai,” atin hiche naosen min chu Asher asah tai.Leah said, “How happy I am! For the women call me happy.” So she named him Asher.

14Nikhat Reuben chu suhlou chang vohlai in akondoh in ahile loulai achun Joldei-Ai amun anu Leah ahin pohpeh in ahile, hichun Rachel in Leah kom'a “Lungset tah in na chapa Joldei-Ai hinpoh chu kei jong nei hom thei ding ham,” tin athum tai.”Now during the wheat harvest, Reuben went out and found some mandrakes in the field. When he brought them to his mother, Rachel begged Leah, “Please give me some of your son’s mandrakes.”

15Hinlah Leah in Rachel jah a “Ka inneipu nei lahpeh jong thil neocha a nabol ham? Tua jong kachapa Joldei-Ai hinpoh jong lahpeh ding neigot kit ham?” atileh Rachel in adonbut in, “Chuti ahile na chapa Joldei-Ai poh man dingin tujan Jacob in nangma na lupkhompi thei nante,” ati.But Leah replied, “Is it not enough that you have taken away my husband? Now you want to take my son’s mandrakes as well?” “Very well,” said Rachel, “he may sleep with you tonight in exchange for your son’s mandrakes.”

16Hiche nilhah chun Jacob phailei lama konna ahung kinungle phat in Leah achen aga kimupin, “Tujan hi keima toh ilupkhom ding ahi, ajeh chu tujan a dinga ka chapan nao neitheina ahinpoh a tujana dinga ka choh nahitai,” hichun Jacob chu hiche jan chun Leah to ageh lhontai.When Jacob came in from the field that evening, Leah went out to meet him and said, “You must come with me, for I have hired you with my son’s mandrakes.” So he slept with her that night.

17Pathen'in Leah taona chu asanpeh tan, nao ahin voptan Jacob chapa nga lhinna ahinpeh tai.And God listened to Leah, and she conceived and bore a fifth son to Jacob.

18Hichun Leah in asei tan, “Ka sohnu chu kajipa ka pehdoh jeh in Pathen'in ka chohdoh man eipetai,” atin hichun naosen min chu Issachar asah tan ahi.Then Leah said, “God has rewarded me for giving my maidservant to my husband.” So she named him Issachar.

19Chujouvin jong Leah chun nao avop kit in Jacob dingin chapa gup lhinna ahinpeh kit tai.Again Leah conceived and bore a sixth son to Jacob.

20Hichun Leah in asei tan, “Pathen'in keima numei thilken pha tah-tah eikenpeh tai, tu apat a kajipan ngailutna sangtah einei ding ahitai, ajeh chu chapa gup kaneipeh tai,” hichun amanun naosen min chu Zebulun asah tai.“God has given me a good gift,” she said. “This time my husband will honor me, because I have borne him six sons.” And she named him Zebulun.

21Ahin phat chomkhat jouvin nao numei khat ahingin amin chu Dinah asah in ahi.After that, Leah gave birth to a daughter and named her Dinah.

22Hichun Pathen'in Rachel chu asumil pon Pathen'in ataona asanpeh in anaobu chu ahonpeh tai.Then God remembered Rachel. He listened to her and opened her womb,

23Hijeh chun Rachel in jong nao ahin vop in chapa khat ahin neitai; hichun Rachel in hitin aseiye, “Pathen'in ka jachatna jouse asubei tai,” ati.and she conceived and gave birth to a son. “God has taken away my shame,” she said.

24Rachel'in anao min chu Joseph asah in hitin aseiye, “Pakaijin chapa dang khat jong eihin sah kit tei-tei hen o!” ati.She named him Joseph, and said, “May the LORD add to me another son.”

25Rachel in Joseph ahin neijou phat chun, Jacob in Laban kom'a aseitai, “Nei nungsol tan kagam lang uva,” ati.Now after Rachel had given birth to Joseph, Jacob said to Laban, “Send me on my way so I can return to my homeland.

26Kajite kachate neipe dohtan phat sottah nangma in'ah lhachan kapang tan, tua hi keima ki nungle phat ahung hitai, chule itobanga nangma na katohpeh nahim nangman nakihet nai, ati.Give me my wives and children for whom I have served you, that I may go on my way. You know how hard I have worked for you.”

27Ahin Laban in Jacob jah a aseiye, “Ahithei ding leh lungset tah in nei dalha hih in ajeh chu nangma ka insunga na hunglut apat in Pathen'in phatthei eiboh lheh jengin ahi.But Laban replied, “If I have found favor in your eyes, please stay. I have learned by divination that the LORD has blessed me because of you.”

28Chule Jacob in aseijin, “Natoh man ding ijat ham nei seipeh tan keiman kapeh ding nahi” ati.And he added, “Name your wages, and I will pay them.”

29Chuin Jacob in adonbut in, “Nangman nahenai, itobanga nangma na katoh a na gancha ho hung pung thei ham?” ati.Then Jacob answered, “You know how I have served you and how your livestock have thrived under my care.

30“Ajeh chu keima kahung masang chun themcha bou na neijin tun apung jal tan, Pathen'in hatah in phatthei na boh tan ahi. Ahile itih phat hi ding ham? Keima insunga ding katohna ding,” ati.Indeed, you had very little before my arrival, but now your wealth has increased many times over. The LORD has blessed you wherever I set foot. But now, when may I also provide for my own household?”

31Chule Laban in adong kit in, “Ipiba kapeh ding ham?” Jacob in aseiye, “Imacha neipe hih in, ahin thil khat nei bolpeh le chun keiman nagancha na vettup peh nang'e ati.“What can I give you?” Laban asked. “You do not need to give me anything,” Jacob replied. “If you do this one thing for me, I will keep on shepherding and keeping your flocks.

32Tun keiman na gancha kelngoi ho gakhol sohkei jing ting, amaho lah achun apol jouse hin lhengdoh inting, chule keltah ho lah a jong apol thim hihen hapol apol jouse hin lheng doh ingting, hichengse chu keima natoh man in nei bolpeh tan, ati.Let me go through all your flocks today and remove from them every speckled or spotted sheep, every dark-colored lamb, and every spotted or speckled goat. These will be my wages.

33Khonung teng ka natoh man sutoh dinga nahung teng ka kitahna nahin muchen theina dingin, kelchate lah a apollou hihen, hapol a pollou akimu doh khah a, kelngoi lah a jong apollou khattou aum khah a ahile hiche ho se chu nangma a konna kaguh a kisim jeng thei ding ahi,” ati.So my honesty will testify for me when you come to check on my wages in the future. If I have any goats that are not speckled or spotted, or any lambs that are not dark-colored, they will be considered stolen.”

34Hichun Laban in adonbut in, “Apha lheh jeng'e nangman nasei bang chu himai tahen,” ati.“Agreed,” said Laban. “Let it be as you have said.”

35Hinlah Laban in hiche nikho ma-ma chun kelcha achal asandup apol, chule abeh beh a kang kelcha anu apol ho, chule kelngoi avom ho jouse chu achapa kom'a abon'in agathah doh sah sohkei in ahi.That very day Laban removed all the streaked or spotted male goats and every speckled or spotted female goat—every one that had any white on it—and every dark-colored lamb, and he placed them under the care of his sons.

36Hichun aman Jacob to nithum jen lampi a kigamlat in asolmang tai, chule Jacob in Laban gancha akithah lou jouse chu aching jom jing tan ahi.Then he put a three-day journey between himself and Jacob, while Jacob was shepherding the rest of Laban’s flocks.

37Chuin Jacob in Almond le Shiga phung bah ho chu amalngim in hiche thingbah avel akang lai ho chu kelcha ho amusah in ahi.Jacob, however, took fresh branches of poplar, almond, and plane trees, and peeled the bark, exposing the white inner wood of the branches.

38Hichun Jacob in thingbah amalngim ho chu kelngoi ho twi donna konga akoiyin, kelngoite twichip dinga ahungji teng ule kijangmatji ahijeh uva akoi ahi.Then he set the peeled branches in the watering troughs in front of the flocks coming in to drink. So when the flocks were in heat and came to drink,

39Kelngoi ho chu thingbah akang lai masanga chu kijangmatji, chuteng chule kelngoite chun akangpol jong, hapol a pol jong ahin hing doh doh tauve.they mated in front of the branches. And they bore young that were streaked or speckled or spotted.

40Jacob in kelngoi ho chu ahoikhen in Laban kelngoi hon lah a akangpol ho leh avom ho chu ahoikhen in ama chan ding chengse chu atum in akhendoh in, Laban a lah achun ahoilut tapoi.Jacob set apart the young, but made the rest face the streaked dark-colored sheep in Laban’s flocks. Then he set his own stock apart and did not put them with Laban’s animals.

41Hiti chun kelngoi lah a asapha ho chu akijangmat teng ule thingbah ho amu uva, akijangmat theina ding uvin Jacob in jong thingbah ho amasang uva twi lonna kom laiya aga jampeh jin ahi.Whenever the stronger females of the flock were in heat, Jacob would place the branches in the troughs, in full view of the animals, so that they would breed in front of the branches.

42Hinlah Jacob in kelngoi atahsa phalou ho ahi tengleh aga jamle jipoi, ajeh chu Laban a chu asapha lou jeng ahin, Jacob a vang chu asapha jeng ahiuve.But if the animals were weak, he did not set out the branches. So the weaker animals went to Laban and the stronger ones to Jacob.

43Hijeh chun Jacob chu ahung hao thei lheh tan, kelngoi tamtah ahin neitan, soh numei ahin soh pasal ahin tamtah aneijin, chule sangan le sangangsao jong tamtah anei doh tai.Thus Jacob became exceedingly prosperous. He owned large flocks, maidservants and menservants, and camels and donkeys.
