25 Jacob wen put up his tents awready, up country Gilead side. Den Laban come by Jacob, an Laban an his ohana guys put up dea tents, same place not too far. 26 Wen dey come togedda, Laban tell Jacob, “Eh! Wat you wen do? How come you neva tell me notting? You take my daughtahs wit you, jalike you one army guy an dey yoa prisonas! 27 How come you bulai me fo you run away? You steal stuff from me an neva tell me notting, aah?

If you find dem wit one a my peopo, dat guy no goin stay alive! I tell dis in front all oua ohana guys: You show me one ting I get dass yoas, an you can take um back!” Jacob talk lidat cuz he neva know dat Rachel wen steal da idol kine gods.
33 So Laban go inside Jacob tent firs, den inside Leah tent an da tents fo da two slave wahines dat work fo his two daughtahs, but he neva find notting. Afta he pau look inside Leah tent, he go inside Rachel tent. 34 But befo Laban go inside Rachel tent, Rachel take da idol kine gods an put um inside da saddle fo her camel, an sit down on top um.

Jacob Grumble To Laban
36 So den, Jacob come real huhu an start fo grumble to Laban. He tell um, “So, wat you wen find?! You figga I goin do someting fo jam up oua ohana, o wat?! Wat kine bad ting I do to you, dat you chase me lidat?! 37 Cuz you wen go look ova eryting I get. Wat ting you wen find hea dat come from yoa house? Put um hea, in front da whole ohana fo dem see um! Den let yoa ohana guys an my ohana guys figga, if I owe you someting, o not!
38 “Twenny year I stay wit you. Yoa girl kine sheeps an goats, dey neva lose even one bebe. Yoa boy kine sheeps, I neva kill even one fo eat. 39 Wen da wild animals kill one a yoa sheeps o goats, I neva bring da body to you. I pay fo um, so you neva lose notting. You make me pay, no matta was day time o nite time dat da wild animal wen steal um. 40 Dis how was: I work day time wen too hot fo work, an nite time wen come real cold, an I no can sleep. 41 Yeah, dass wat happen to me, da twenny year I stay wit you. I wen work fourteen year fo marry yoa two daughtahs, plus six year fo pay you fo da sheeps an goats. An den, you change my pay plenny times.
42 “But da God dat my faddah pray to, dass da God fo Abraham too. He da One dat make Isaac sked an shaking cuz he so awesome. He stay wit me. If he neva stay wit me, you no give me notting, an tell me fo go way. But God, he see da real hard time I get, an da real hard work I do. Las nite, wat he tell you wass right, cuz he da Judge.”
Laban An Jacob Make

43 Den Laban tell Jacob dis: “Kay den. Da wahines, dey my daughtahs. Da kids, dey my grankids. Da sheeps an goats, dey my sheeps an goats. Eryting you see, mines. But wat? I no can do notting now bout my daughtahs, an da kids dey wen born. 44 So come. We go make one deal, me an you. We put up someting so erybody goin know wat wen happen hea wit me an you.”
45 So Jacob take one big rock an put um up jalike one pos. 46 Den Jacob tell his ohana guys, “Go bring some mo rocks.” So dey get odda rocks an make one big pile. Right dea by da pile, Jacob guys an Laban guys wen eat togedda. 47 Laban give dat pile a rocks da name Yegar-Sahaduta, dat mean, “Da Rock Pile Fo No Foget Wat Wen Happen,” Aram language. Jacob, he give um da name Galeed, dat mean same same, Hebrew language.
Laban An Jacob Make

48 Laban tell, “Dis rock pile hea, fo erybody know wat wen happen wit me an you, dis day.” Dass how come get da name Galeed. 49 Dey call da rock pile Mizpah too, dat mean “Place Fo Watch From,” cuz Laban tell, “I like Da One In Charge watch you an watch me, all da time dat us no can see each odda. 50 If you make any kine to my daughtahs, o if you marry odda wahines, no matta no mo nobody dat know dat. No foget: God know wat happen wit you an me.”
51 Den Laban tell Jacob, “Look. Dis da rock pile I wen make, an dis da rock dat stan dea jalike one pos. I goin stay one side, an you stay da odda side. 52 Dat pile an dat pos, dey stay dea fo us no foget dat I not suppose to go da odda side dis pile fo bus you up, an you not suppose to go da odda side dis pile an dis pos fo bus me up. 53 I like da God fo yoa granfaddah Abraham an fo my granfaddah Nahor be da judge, if I stay right o if you stay right.”
So Jacob make one strong promise fo stick wit da deal, an he tell God, da One dat wen make his faddah Isaac stay sked an shaking cuz he real awesome, fo make shua Jacob do eryting right. 54 Den Jacob make one sacrifice to God ova dea inside da up country, an he tell Laban an all da odda ohana peopo fo come eat wit him. Afta, dey all sleep dea, up country side.
55 Nex morning, Laban wake up early. He kiss his daughtahs an his grankids, an tell God fo do good tings fo dem. Den he go home.
