And he said, What shall I give you? And Jacob said, You shall not give me any thing: if you will do this thing for me, I will again feed and keep your flock.

32 Tihninah nang kah boiva boeih taengla ka cet eh. Te lamkah tu boeihte 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.

I will pass through all your flock to day, removing from there all the speckled and spotted cattle, and all the brown cattle among the sheep, and the spotted and speckled among the goats: and of such shall be my hire.

33 Na mikhmuh ah maaekhui lamkah a rhikrhak neh a tairhi pawt boeih, tukhui lamkah a pol pawt te ka taengla a huen khaw, thangvuen khohnin kah ka thapang dongahna pai vaengah, kai yueng la ka duengnah thui nawn saeh.

So shall my righteousness answer for me in time to come, when it shall come for my hire before your face: every one that is not speckled and spotted among the goats, and brown among the sheep, that shall be counted stolen with me.

34 Te dongah Laban loh, “Namah olka bangla a om saeh ne,” a ti nah.

And Laban said, Behold, I would it might be according to your word.

35 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.

And he removed that day the he goats that were ringstraked and spotted, and all the she goats that were speckled and spotted, and every one that had some white in it, and all the brown among the sheep, and gave them into the hand of his sons.

36 Te phoeiah hnin thum longcaehte amah neh Jakob laklo ah hnalak a khueh. Te daengah Jakob loh Laban kah boiva la aka suengrhoek te a luem sak.

And he set three days’ journey between himself and Jacob: and Jacob fed the rest of Laban’s flocks.

37 Tedae Jakob loh amah ham khabok neh yungkha neh hlimbok kah a hlaengte thingsuplaa loh. Te phoeiah a dakda aka bok te a hlihtih cungkui dongah a boklaa tai.

And Jacob took him rods of green poplar, and of the hazel and chestnut tree; and pilled white strakes in them, and made the white appear which was in the rods.

38 Te phoeiah thing hlaeng a baehte 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.

And he set the rods which he had pilled before the flocks in the gutters in the watering troughs when the flocks came to drink, that they should conceive when they came to drink.

39 Boivate cungkui taengah a pacu tih boiva khaw a rhangcam, rhikrhak la thang tih a tairhi pah.

And the flocks conceived before the rods, and brought forth cattle ringstraked, speckled, and spotted.

40 Te vaengah Jakob loh tucarhoek 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 tupingte amah la hloep a khueh. Tedae te rhoek te Laban kah boiva taengah khueh pawh.

And Jacob did separate the lambs, and set the faces of the flocks toward the ringstraked, and all the brown in the flock of Laban; and he put his own flocks by themselves, and put them not to Laban’s cattle.

41 Te phoeiah omtih boiva loh a pa a cuk takuem vaengah a tanglue te tah cungkui taengah a pa a cuk sak ham Jakob loh cungkuite tuilong kah boiva hmuh ah a khueh.

And it came to pass, whenever the stronger cattle did conceive, that Jacob laid the rods before the eyes of the cattle in the gutters, that they might conceive among the rods.

42 Tedae boiva te a rhae ngai atah a khueh pah pawt dongah a rhaerhoek te Laban ham om tih a tanglue te Jakob ham vik om.

But when the cattle were feeble, he put them not in: so the feebler were Laban’s, and the stronger Jacob’s.

43 Te dongah tekah hlang tah lut lut boei tih anih taengah boiva khaw, taengom neh sal khaw, kalauk neh laak khaw muep om.

And the man increased exceedingly, and had much cattle, and maidservants, and menservants, and camels, and asses.
