New International Version NIV
1 After that, Jacob heard the words of the sons of Laban, that said, Jacob hath taken away all things that were our father's, and of his chattel Jacob is made rich, and noble (and Jacob was made rich, and noble, out of our father's possessions).
1
Jacob heard that Laban’s sons were saying, “Jacob has taken everything our father owned and has gained all this wealth from what belonged to our father.”
2 Also Jacob perceived the face of Laban, that it was not against him as yesterday, and the third day ago, (And Jacob saw that Laban's face was not favourable toward him, like it was yesterday, and the third day ago,)
2
And Jacob noticed that Laban’s attitude toward him was not what it had been.
3 mostly for the Lord (had) said to Jacob, Turn again into the land of thy fathers, and to thy generation (Return to the land of thy fathers, and to thy kindred), and I shall be with thee.
3
Then the LORD said to Jacob, “Go back to the land of your fathers and to your relatives, and I will be with you.”
4 (And so) Jacob sent (for), and called Rachel and Leah (out) into the field, where he kept [the] flocks,
4
So Jacob sent word to Rachel and Leah to come out to the fields where his flocks were.
5 and he said to them, I see the face of your father, that it is not against me as yesterday, and the third day ago; but God of my father was with me. (and he said to them, I see that your father's face is not favourable toward me, like it was yesterday, and the third day ago; but the God of my father is with me.)
5
He said to them, “I see that your father’s attitude toward me is not what it was before, but the God of my father has been with me.
6 And ye know that with all my strengths I have served your father;
6
You know that I’ve worked for your father with all my strength,
7 but and your father hath deceived me, and changed my meed ten times; and nevertheless God suffered not him to harm me. (but your father hath deceived me, and changed my reward ten times; but God hath not allowed him to harm me.)
7
yet your father has cheated me by changing my wages ten times. However, God has not allowed him to harm me.
