34 Wayesethi uLabani: “Bheka, makube njengezwi lakho.”
35 Ngalowo muhla wakhipha izimpongo ezinemishwe nezimagqabhagqabha, nezimbuzikazi zonke ezimanakanaka nezimagqabhagqabha, zonke ezinokumhlophe, nezimnyama zonke ezimvini, wazinikela esandleni samadodana akhe.
36 Wamisa ibanga lezinsuku ezintathu phakathi kwakhe noJakobe; uJakobe walusa imihlambi eseleyo kaLabani.
37 UJakobe wathatha izinti ezimanzi zompopula* nezomalimondi* nezompelatani,* wazebula imishwe emhlophe, wambula okumhlophe okusezintini.
38 Wazifaka izinti abezebulile emikhombeni nasemiqengqeni yamanzi phambi kwemihlambi, lapho imihlambi iza khona ukuphuza; yamitha ekufikeni kwayo ukuphuza.
39 Imihlambi yamitha phambi kwezinti, imihlambi yazala ezinemishwe, nezimanakanaka, nezimagqabhagqabha.
40 UJakobe wayesahlukanisa amawundlu, wabhekisa ubuso bemihlambi kwezinemishwe nakwezimnyama emhlambini kaLabani; wabeka amaqembu akhe abe wodwa engawafaki emhlambini kaLabani.
