લાબાને કહ્યું, “તને હું શું વેતન આપું?” યાકૂબે કહ્યું, “તું મને કશું જ ન આપીશ. જો તું મારા માટે આટલું કરે તો હું ફરી તારાં ઘેટાંબકરાંને ચારીશ અને તેમને સંભાળીશ.
हिन्दीउत्पत्ति ३०:३१
उसने फिर कहा, “मैं तुझे क्या दूँ?” याकूब ने कहा, “तू मुझे कुछ न दे; यदि तू मेरे लिये एक काम करे, तो मैं फिर तेरी भेड़-बकरियों को चराऊँगा, और उनकी रक्षा करूँगा।

In context

29Jacob said to him, “You know how I have served you, and how your livestock have fared with me.

30For it was little which you had before I came, and it has increased to a multitude. The LORD has blessed you wherever I turned. Now when will I provide for my own house also?”

31Laban 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.

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.

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 considered stolen.”
