- 30:32 Let me pass through all your flock today, removing from there every speckled and spotted animal, that is, every black animal among the sheep, and the spotted and speckled among the goats; and such will be my wages.
-
今天我要走遍你的羊群,把其中凡有点的、有斑的,就是绵羊中黑色的,并山羊中有斑的、有点的,都挑出来;将来这一等的就算是我的工价。
- 30:33 So my righteousness will testify for me later, when you come concerning my wages, by what is before you. Every one that is not speckled and spotted among the goats and black among the sheep, if found with me, will be counted stolen.

- 30:34 And Laban said, Fine; let it be according to your word.
-
拉班说,好阿,就照着你的话行罢。
- 30:35 But on that 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 care of his sons;
-
当日,拉班把有纹的、有斑的公山羊,有点的、有斑的母山羊,就是凡杂有白色的山羊,并黑色的绵羊,都挑出来,交在他儿子们的手下,
- 30:36 And he set a distance of a three days' journey between himself and Jacob, and Jacob fed the rest of Laban's flocks.
-
又使自己和雅各相离三天的路程;雅各就牧养拉班其余的羊。
- 30:37 And Jacob took rods of fresh poplar and almond and plane trees and peeled white stripes in them, exposing the white which was in the rods.
-
雅各拿杨树、杏树、枫树的嫩枝,将皮剥成白纹,使枝子露出白的来;
- 30:38 And he set the rods which he had peeled in front of the flocks in the troughs, that is, in the watering places where the flocks came to drink; and they bred when they came to drink.
-
他将剥了皮的枝子,对着羊群,插在羊群喝水的水槽里;羊来喝水的时候,公母交配。
- 30:39 And the flocks bred before the rods; and the flocks brought forth young that were streaked, speckled, and spotted.
-
羊对着枝子交配,就生下有纹的、有点的、有斑的来。
- 30:40 And Jacob separated the lambs and set the faces of the flock toward the streaked and all the black in the flock of Laban, and he put his own herds apart and did not put them with Laban's flock.
-
雅各把羊羔分出来,使拉班的羊与这有纹和黑色的羊相对,把自己的羊另放一处,不叫他的羊和拉班的羊混杂。
- 30:41 And whenever the stronger of the flock were breeding, Jacob placed the rods before the eyes of the flock in the troughs so that they might breed among the rods;
-
当羊群中肥壮的交配的时候,雅各就把枝子插在水槽里,正在羊群的眼前,使羊对着枝子交配。
- 30:42 But when the flock was feebler, he did not put them in; so the feebler were Laban's, and the stronger Jacob's.
-
只是在羊群瘦弱的时候,就不插枝子。这样,瘦弱的就归拉班,肥壮的就归雅各。
- 30:43 And the man became spread out exceedingly, and had large flocks, and female servants and male servants, and camels and donkeys.
-
于是雅各极其发达,得了许多的羊群、仆人、婢女、骆驼和驴。
