Give me my wives and my children, for whom I have served thee, and let me go; for thou knowest my service with which I have served thee.

And he said, Appoint me thy wages, and I will give them.

29 Te dongah Jakob loh Laban te, “Nang taengah ka thohtat te khaw, na boiva loh kai taengah a om te khaw na ming.

And he said unto him, Thou knowest how I have served thee, and what thy cattle hath become with me.

For it was a little which thou hadst before I came, and it is now increased into a multitude; and the Lord hath blessed thee since my coming; and now when shall I provide also for my own house?

31 Te vaengah, “Nang te balae kan paek eh?,” a ti nah. Jakob loh, “Kai he pakhat khaw m'pae boeh, he ol he kai hamla nan khueh atah, ka mael neh na boiva te ka luem puei vetih ka dawn mai bitni.

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

32 Tihnin ah nang kah boiva boeih taengla ka cet eh. Te lamkah tu boeih te 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 thy flock today, removing from there every speckled and spotted lamb, and every brown lamb among the sheep, and whatever is spotted and speckled among the goats; and such shall be after this my reward.

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

And my righteousness shall testify for me in time to come, when it shall come with my reward before thy 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, Well, let it be according to thy 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 on 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 on it, and all the brown among the sheep, and gave them into the hand of his sons.

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

And he put a space of three days' journey between himself and Jacob; and Jacob fed the flocks of Laban that were left.

37 Tedae Jakob loh amah ham khabok neh yungkha neh hlimbok kah a hlaeng te thingsup la a loh. Te phoeiah a dakda aka bok te a hlih tih cungkui dongah a bok la a tai.

And Jacob took himself rods of green poplar, and of the hazel and chestnut tree; and peeled thereon white streaks, laying bare the white which was on the rods.

38 Te phoeiah thing hlaeng a baeh te 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 peeled in the gutters in the watering troughs, where the flocks came to drink, just before the flocks, and where they conceived, when they came to drink.

39 Boiva te 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 ring-streaked, speckled, and spotted.

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

And these lambs did Jacob separate, and set the faces of the flocks toward the ring-streaked, and whatever was 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 om tih boiva loh a pa a cuk takuem vaengah a tanglue te tah cungkui taengah a pa a cuk sak ham Jakob loh cungkui te tuilong kah boiva hmuh ah a khueh.

And it came to pass, whensoever 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 rhae rhoek 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 belonged to Laban, and the stronger to Jacob.

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 he had many flocks, and maid-servants, and men-servants, and camels, and asses.
