25It happened, when Rachel had borne Joseph, that Jacob said to Laban, “Send me away, that I may go to my own place, and to my country.
25 A ciya mo, waato kaŋ Rahila na Yusufu hay, kala Yakuba ne Laban se: «M'ay sallama ay ma ye fu ay laabo ra.
25And it came to pass, when Rachel had borne Joseph, that Jacob said unto Laban, Send me away, that I may go unto mine own place, and to my country.
26Give me my wives and my children for whom I have served you, and let me go; for you know my service with which I have served you.”
26 M'ay no ay wandey d'ay izey, kaŋ yaŋ se ay may ni se. Ay mo ga dira. Goy kaŋ ay te ni se, ni g'a bay.»
26Give 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.
27Laban said to him, “If now I have found favor in your eyes, stay here, for I have divined that Yahweh has blessed me for your sake.”
27 Laban ne a se: « Sohõ, d'ay du gaakuri ni do, kala ni ma goro, zama ay du ka bay kaŋ Rabbi n'ay albarkandi ni sabbay se.»
27And Laban said unto him, If now I have found favor in thine eyes, [tarry]: [for] I have divined that Jehovah hath blessed me for thy sake.
28He said, “Appoint me your wages, and I will give it.”
28 A ne Yakuba se mo: «Ma dake ay boŋ haŋ kaŋ ay ga ni bana, ay g'a bana ni se.»
28And he said, Appoint me thy wages, and I will give it.
29He said to him, “You know how I have served you, and how your livestock have fared with me.
29 Yakuba ne Laban se: «Ni bay goy kaŋ ay te ni se, da mate kaŋ ni almaney te ay kambe ra.
29And he said unto him, Thou knowest how I have served thee, and how thy cattle have fared with me.
30For it was little which you had before I came, and it has increased to a multitude. Yahweh has blessed you wherever I turned. Now when will I provide for my own house also?”
30 Zama za ay mana kaa, haŋ kaŋ go ni se ikayna fo no. Sohõ a tonton hal a te jama bambata. Rabbi mo na ni albarkandi za ay kaayaŋo. Sohõ binde, waati fo no ay ga du hay fo ay bumbo windo se?»
30For 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?
31He said, “What shall I give you?” Jacob said, “You shall not give me anything. If you will do this thing for me, I will again feed your flock and keep it.
31 Kala Laban ne: «Ifo n'ay ga ni no?» Yakuba mo ne a se: «Ma s'ay no hay kulu. Amma da day ni yadda, ni ma hayo wo hinne te ay se: Ay ma ye ka ni kurey kuru, ay m'i haggoy mo.
31And 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.
32I will pass through all your flock today, removing from there every speckled and spotted one, and every black one among the sheep, and the spotted and speckled among the goats. This will be my hire.
32 Kal ay ma gana ni kurey kulu ra hunkuna, ay ma soobay ka icangarey da ibiyey kulu kaa feejey ra, hinciney ra mo, icangarey da waaliyey. Woodin yaŋ dumey no ga ciya ay alhakku.
32I 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.
33So my righteousness will answer for me hereafter, when you come concerning my hire that is before you. Every one that is not speckled and spotted among the goats, and black among the sheep, that might be with me, will be counted stolen.”
33 Yaadin gaa no ay adilitara g'ay seeda ni jine: saaya kulu kaŋ ni ga koy ay alhakko do, alman kulu kaŋ manti waaliya-waaliya da icangare-cangare no hinciney ra, wala ibiyaŋ feejey ra, i m'a lasaabu ay se zaytaray hari.»
33So 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.
34Laban said, “Behold, let it be according to your word.”
34 Laban ne: «A ma ciya mate kaŋ ni ci din.»
34And Laban said, Behold, I would it might be according to thy word.
35That day, he removed the male goats that were streaked and spotted, and all the female 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.
35 Zaari woodin ra binde a na hincin jindi cangarey suuban, da hincin nyaŋey mo kaŋ yaŋ ga cangare da waaliya-waaliyey, wo kulu kaŋ gonda ikwaaray a gaa. A na feeji biyey kulu suuban mo k'i no nga izey se.
35And 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;
36He set three days’ journey between himself and Jacob, and Jacob fed the rest of Laban’s flocks.
36 A na jirbi hinza diraw daŋ nga nda Yakuba game ra. Yakuba goono ga Laban kuru cindey kuru koyne.
36and he set three days' journey betwixt himself and Jacob: and Jacob fed the rest of Laban's flocks.
37Jacob took to himself rods of fresh poplar, almond, plane tree, peeled white streaks in them, and made the white appear which was in the rods.
37 Kala Yakuba na tuuri sariyaŋ kaa, saay nda taasa nda kuubu waneyaŋ. A n'i koosu ka cangarandi, ka naŋ ikwaaray kaŋ go i ra ma bangay.
37And 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.
38He set the rods which he had peeled opposite the flocks in the gutters in the watering-troughs where the flocks came to drink. They conceived when they came to drink.
38 A na sarey kaŋ a koosu yaŋ din sinji almaney jine haŋandiyaŋ garbey ra, nango kaŋ almaney ga koy ka hari haŋ, hal i ma hari haŋ ka gunde sambu.
38And 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.
39The flocks conceived before the rods, and the flocks produced streaked, speckled, and spotted.
39 Almaney binde na gunde sambu haŋandiyaŋ garbey do. Kala almaney na waaliya-waaliyayaŋ da icangareyaŋ da tombi-tombi-koyyaŋ hay.
39And the flocks conceived before the rods, and the flocks brought forth ringstreaked, speckled, and spotted.
40Jacob separated the lambs, and set the faces of the flocks toward the streaked and all the black in the flock of Laban: and he put his own droves apart, and didn’t put them into Laban’s flock.
40 Yakuba mo na feej'izey fay. A na cindey jine bare wo kaŋ te waaliya-waaliya, da wo kaŋ yaŋ ga bi mo Laban kurey ra do harey, a na nga waney daŋ care banda waani, a n'i moorandi Laban kurey gaa.
40And 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.
41It happened, whenever the stronger of the flock conceived, that Jacob laid the rods before the eyes of the flock in the gutters, that they might conceive among the rods;
41 A ciya mo, waati kulu kaŋ alman gaabikooni ga ba ka gunde sambu, kala Yakuba ma sarey sinji almaney jine haŋyaŋ garbey ra, zama i ma gunde sambu sarey jine.
41And 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;
42but when the flock were feeble, he didn’t put them in. So the feebler were Laban’s, and the stronger Jacob’s.
42 Amma saaya kaŋ a di wo kaŋ sinda gaabi no, a si i sinji. Yaadin gaa londibuuney ciya Laban wane yaŋ, gaabikooney mo ciya Yakuba wane yaŋ.
42but when the flock were feeble, he put them not in: so the feebler were Laban's, and the stronger Jacob's.
43The man increased exceedingly, and had large flocks, female servants and male servants, and camels and donkeys.
43 Bora binde tonton da cimi. A du kuru bambata yaŋ da koŋŋayaŋ da bannyayaŋ da yoyaŋ da farkayyaŋ.
43And the man increased exceedingly, and had large flocks, and maid-servants and men-servants, and camels and asses.
