And Reuben went in the days of wheat harvest, and found mandrakes in the field, and brought them unto his mother Leah. Then Rachel said to Leah: 'Give me, I pray thee, of thy son's mandrakes.'

And she said unto her: 'Is it a small matter that thou hast taken away my husband? and wouldest thou take away my son's mandrakes also?' And Rachel said: 'Therefore he shall lie with thee to-night for thy son's mandrakes.'

26 Ase mutan kiuk ac tulik nutik su nga kulansap nu sum kac, ac nga fah som. Kom arulana etu woiyen orekma luk ke nga kulansap nu sum.”
Give me my wives and my children for whom I have served thee, and let me go; for thou knowest my service wherewith I have served thee.'

And Laban said unto him: 'If now I have found favour in thine eyes — I have observed the signs, and the LORD hath blessed me for thy sake.'

And he said unto him: 'Thou knowest how I have served thee, and how thy cattle have fared with me.
30 Meet liki nga tuku ah, supus kosro nutum, ac inge arulana pukanteni. Ac LEUM GOD El akinsewowoye kom in acn nukewa nga kulansupwekom we. Inge pacl fal nu sik in suk ma ac wo nu sik ac sou luk.”
For it was little which thou hadst before I came, and it hath increased abundantly; and the LORD hath blessed thee whithersoever I turned. And now when shall I provide for mine own house also?'
31 Na Laban el sifil pacna siyuk, “Lupa su kom lungse ngan moli kom kac uh?” Ac Jacob el topuk, “Nga tia lungse kutena kain in moul, tuh nga ac srakna karingin un kosro nutum kom fin insese nu ke nunak se luk inge:
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 Fuhlela nga in som ac fahsr inmasrlon un kosro nutum nukewa misenge, ac srela sheep fusr sroalsroal nukewa, ac nani fusr ma tuhntun nukewa. Ac pa na ingan molin orekma luk uh.
I will pass through all thy flock to-day, removing from thence every speckled and spotted one, and every dark one among the sheep, and the spotted and speckled among the goats; and of such shall be my hire.
33 Ke pacl fahsru ac fisrasr nu sum in konauk lah nga pwaye in kulansap luk uh ku tia. Ke pacl kom ac tuku in liye molin orekma luk uh, fin oasr nani ma tia tuhntun ku sheep ma tia sroalsroal yuruk, kom ac etu na lah ma pusrla.”
So shall my righteousness witness against me hereafter, when thou shalt come to look over my hire that is before thee: every one that is not speckled and spotted among the goats, and dark among the sheep, that if found with me shall be counted stolen.'
34 Laban el fahk, “Wona. Kut ac oru oana ma kom fahk an.”
And Laban said: 'Behold, would it might be according to thy word.'
35 Tusruktu, ke len sac pacna Laban el usla nani mukul ma tuhntun ac ma mutan nukewa ma oasr tuhn fasrfasr kac. El oayapa usla sheep sroalsroal nukewa, ac el sang wen natul in liyaung ma inge.
And he removed that day the he-goats that were streaked and spotted, and all the she-goats that were speckled and spotted, every one that had white in it, and all the dark ones among the sheep, and gave them into the hand of his sons.
36 Na el som lukel Jacob wi kosro ma el eisla uh, ac fahsr ke lusa se ma el ac ku in fahsr ke len tolu. Jacob el mutana karingin ma lula ke un kosro natul Laban.
And he set three days' journey betwixt himself and Jacob. And Jacob fed the rest of Laban's flocks.
37 Jacob el eis kutu lesak moul ke sak poplar, sak almond, ac sak plane, ac kolosla kutu kolo ah liki, tuh lesak uh fah oasr koa fasrfasr oan kac.
And Jacob took him rods of fresh poplar, and of the almond and of the plane-tree; and peeled white streaks in them, making the white appear which was in the rods.
38 El kaskiya lesak inge ye mutun un kosro uh ke acn in nim kof lalos. El filiya lesak inge we, mweyen kosro inge ac tutu we ke pacl elos tuku in nim kof uh.
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 Ouinge ke nani uh ac forang nu ke lesak inge ke elos afanuki, fahkolos ac tuhntun.
And the flocks conceived at the sight of the rods, and the flocks brought forth streaked, speckled, and spotted.
40 Jacob el taran na sheep uh in srisrila liki nani uh, ac oru tuh elos in tu ngetang nu yurin kosro tuhntun ac kosro sroalsroal ke u in kosro natul Laban uh. Ke el oru ouinge uh, el akpusye un kosro natul sifacna, ac srela liki ma natul Laban.
And Jacob separated the lambs — he also set the faces of the flocks toward the streaked and all the dark in the flock of Laban — and put his own droves apart, and put them not unto Laban's flock.
41 Ke kosro ma ku ikwa uh ac afanuki uh, Jacob el ac filiya lesak uh ye mutalos ke acn in nim kof lalos, kosro inge in mau tutu in masrlon lesak inge.
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 Tusruktu el tiana filiya lesak ye mutun kosro ma munas ikwa uh. Ouinge sikyak tuh na kosro munas nukewa ma natul Laban, ac ma ku ikwa nukewa ma natul Jacob.
but when the flock were feeble, he put them not in; so the feebler were Laban's, and the stronger Jacob's.
43 Ke ouinge uh, Jacob el arulana kasrupi. Pukanteni u in kosro natul, mwet kulansap lal, oayapa camel ac donkey.
And the man increased exceedingly, and had large flocks, and maid-servants and men-servants, and camels and asses.
