OET (OET-LV) And_answer in/on/at/with_me honesty_my in/on_day in_future_time if/because you_will_come on wages_my to_your_face all that not_he [is]_speckled and_spotted in/on/at/with_goats and_black in/on/at/with_lambs [is]_stolen it with_me.
OET (OET-RV) So in the future, you’ll be able to see that I’ve been honest because you’ll be able to see it for yourself: any goat that’s not speckled and spotted, and any sheep that’s not dark-coloured, if it’s in my flock then it must have been stolen.”
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / personification
וְעָֽנְתָה בִּ֤י צִדְקָתִי֙ בְּי֣וֹם מָחָ֔ר
and,answer in/on/at/with,me honesty,my in/on=day future
The phrase my righteousness is referred to here as if it can testify like a person can. Some languages cannot personify righteousness like that. Do what is best in your language. Alternate translation: “Also, in the future you will know whether or not I am being honest” or “That way too, in the future it will be easy for everyone to know whether or not I am being honest”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / infostructure
כִּֽי תָב֥וֹא עַל שְׂכָרִ֖י לְפָנֶ֑יךָ
that/for/because/then/when come on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in wages,my to=your=face
For some languages it is more natural to move this clause earlier in this sentence and say, “Also, in the future, whenever you check the animals you have paid/given me, you will know whether or not I am being honest.” Do what is best in your own language. Alternate translation: “whenever you check the animals you have given me.”
כֹּ֣ל אֲשֶׁר אֵינֶנּוּ֩ נָקֹ֨ד וְטָל֜וּא בָּֽעִזִּ֗ים וְחוּם֙ בַּכְּשָׂבִ֔ים
all which/who not,he speckled and,spotted in/on/at/with,goats and,black in/on/at/with,lambs
Alternate translation: “If you see that I have any sheep or goats that are not speckled or spotted or any sheep that are not dark-colored,” or “If you see any sheep or goats among my flocks that do not have speckles or spots or any sheep that are not dark-colored,”
גָּנ֥וּב ה֖וּא אִתִּֽי
stolen he/it with,me
Alternate translation: “it will be obvious that I stole them from you.”
30:25-34 After his fourteen years of service, Jacob asked Laban for permission to go home. The two bedouin leaders negotiated politely but remained cautiously on guard. Laban wanted to get more out of Jacob. Jacob wanted to gain his wages by selective breeding.

Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.
