And he said, What shall I give thee? And Jacob said, Thou shalt not give me any thing; if thou wilt do this thing for me, I will again feed [and] keep thy flock:

32 Tihninah nang kah boiva boeih taengla ka cet eh. Te lamkah tu boeihte rhikrhak neha tairhi khaw, tuca khuikah tu pol boeih khaw, maae khuiaha tairhi neh rhikrhak khaw ka khoe saeh lamtah ka thapang la om saeh.

I will pass through all thy flock to-day, removing from thence 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 lamkaha rhikrhak neha tairhi pawt boeih, tukhui lamkaha pol pawt te ka taenglaa 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 thy face: every one that [is] not speckled and spotted among the goats, and brown among the sheep, that shall be accounted stolen with me.

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

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

35 Te dongah amah khohnin ah maaetala rhangcam neha tairhi te khaw, maae nu rhikrhak neha tairhi boeih te khaw, a soah aka bok boeih neh tuca khuikah aka pol boeih te a khoe tih a capa kut aha tloeng pah.

And he removed that day the he-goats that were ring-streaked and spotted, and all the she-goats that were speckled and spotted; every one that had [some] white in it, and all the brown among the sheep, and gave [them] into the hands 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 tea 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 tea hlihtih cungkui dongaha boklaa tai.

And Jacob took to him rods of green poplar, and of the hazel and chesnut-tree; and peeled white streaks in them, and made the white appear which [was] in the rods.

And he set the rods, which he had peeled, 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 taengaha pacu tih boiva khaw a rhangcam, rhikrhak la thang tiha tairhi pah.

And the flocks conceived before the rods, and brought forth cattle ring-streaked, speckled, and spotted.

40 Te vaengah Jakob loh tucarhoek tea hoep tih Laban kah boiva khuikaha rhangcam neh aka pol boeih taengla boiva kah a hmaia 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 separated the lambs, and set the faces of the flocks towards the ring-streaked, and all the brown in the flock of Laban: and he put his own flocks by themselves, and put them not with Laban's cattle.

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

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

42 Tedae boiva tea rhae ngai ataha khueh pah pawt dongaha rhaerhoek te Laban ham om tiha 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 many cattle, and maid-servants, and men-servants, and camels, and asses.
