For it was little which thou hadst before I came, and it hath increased unto a multitude; and Jehovah hath blessed thee whithersoever I turned: and now when shall I provide for mine own house also?
31 Hatdawkvah ahni koe, bangmaw na poe han telah atipouh. Jakop ni, banghai na poe hanh. Hetheh na sak pouh boipawiteh, na saringnaw teh bout na khoum pouh han.
And he said, What shall I give thee? And Jacob said, Thou shalt not give me aught: if thou wilt do this thing for me, I will again feed thy flock and keep it.
32 Sahnin vah tuhu, hmaehu, thung ka cei teh, tarakcak e hmaenaw, humtamang e tunaw pueng hah koung a kapek toe. Hathnukkhu ka tarakcak e hmae, humtamang e tunaw teh kai ni ka coe hane aphu lah ao han.
I will pass through all thy flock to-day, removing from thence every speckled and spotted one, and every black one among the sheep, and the spotted and speckled among the goats: and [of such] shall be my hire.
33 Hatdawkvah, atotovah kaie tawkphu ka hmu hane teh na hmalah a pha to vah, ka lannae ni na pathung han doeh. Hmae thung dawk tarakcak lah a em ka pangaw hoeh e, a em kasawlah ka pangaw hoeh e, tu thung dawk ka tamang hoeh e kai koe na hmawt pawiteh, ka paru e lah na pouk han, telah atipouh.
So shall my righteousness answer for me hereafter, when thou shalt come concerning my hire that is before thee: every one that is not speckled and spotted among the goats, and black among the sheep, that, [if found] with me, shall be counted stolen.
34 Laban ni, Oe, na dei e patetlah tho lawiseh, telah ati.
And Laban said, Behold, I would it might be according to thy word.
35 Hot hnin totouh hoi, hmaetan tarakcak ni teh kasawlah a em kaawmnaw pueng hoi, Hmae manu tarakcak ni teh kasawlah a em kaawm e naw pueng, ka pangaw pueng hoi tu thung dawk ka tamangnaw pueng hah a kapek pouh teh a capanaw e a kut dawk a poe.
And he removed that day the he-goats that were ringstreaked and spotted, and all the she-goats that were speckled and spotted, every one that had white in it, and all the black ones among the sheep, and gave them into the hand of his sons;
36 Ahni hoi Jakop rahak vah hnin thum lamcei koe ao sak teh, Jakop ni Laban e saringnaw pueng hah bout a thak pouh.
and he set three days’ journey betwixt himself and Jacob: and Jacob fed the rest of Laban’s flocks.
37 Jakop ni poplar hoi hazel hoi almond thing e akangnaw hah a la teh tarakcak lah a tarik.
And Jacob took him rods of fresh poplar, and of the almond and of the plane-tree; and peeled white streaks in them, and made the white appear which was in the rods.
38 Saringnaw ni tui ouk a neinae dokko hoi palang dawkvah, saringnaw e hmalah sonron hah a ta. Bangkongtetpawiteh, tui nei hanlah ouk a tho awh nah saring hah âvâ ouk a cu awh.
And he set the rods which he had peeled over against the flocks in the gutters in the watering-troughs where the flocks came to drink; and they conceived when they came to drink.
39 Hatdawkvah, saring hah sonron teng âvâ ouk a cu nah, a em tarakcak lah ouk a khe.
And the flocks conceived before the rods, and the flocks brought forth ringstreaked, speckled, and spotted.
40 Hahoi, Jakop ni tucanaw a kapek teh, Laban e saringhu thung dawk e a em kaawm hoi katamangnaw pueng koe lah a kangvawi sak. Amae saring hah a kapek teh Laban e saring hoi rei hrueng hoeh.
And Jacob separated the lambs, and set the faces of the flocks toward the ringstreaked and all the black in the flock of Laban: and he put his own droves apart, and put them not unto Laban’s flock.
41 Atha bet kaawm hnawn e saring âvâcu toteh, sonron hmalah âvâcu thai nahanlah, Jakop ni tui a lawngnae koe saringnaw e a hmaitung vah, sonron hah ouk a ta pouh.
And it came to pass, whensoever the stronger of the flock did conceive, that Jacob laid the rods before the eyes of the flock in the gutters, that they might conceive among the rods;
42 Hatei, saring hah kamsoe pawiteh tat pouh hoeh. Hottelah, ka kamsoe e a canaw teh Laban e lah ao teh, a tha bet kaawm e naw hah Jakop e lah ao.
but when the flock were feeble, he put them not in: so the feebler were Laban’s, and the stronger Jacob’s.
43 Hatdawkvah, Jakop koe moi kapap lah a kampung teh saringhu moi kapap, sannu hoi sanpa naw hoi, kalauknaw hoi lanaw hah a tawn.
And the man increased exceedingly, and had large flocks, and maid-servants and men-servants, and camels and asses.
