OET (OET-LV) And_ Lāⱱān _answered and_he/it_said to Yaˊₐqoⱱ/(Jacob) the_daughters daughters_of_my and_the_children children_of_my and_the_flocks flocks_of_my and_all/each/any/every that you [are]_seeing to_me it and_about_daughters_of_mine what will_I_do for_these the_day or for_children_of_their whom they_have_borne.
OET (OET-RV) Then Lavan responded and told Yacob, “These women are my daughters, and the children are my grandchildren, and the flocks are my flocks. Everything that you see here belongs to me. But what can I do today about these daughters of mine or about their children that they gave birth to?

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / hyperbole
וְכֹ֛ל אֲשֶׁר־אַתָּ֥ה רֹאֶ֖ה לִי
and=all/each/any/every which/who you(ms) see to=me
Laban is lying or exaggerating here to make it sound like he was wronged, when actually he is the one who was dishonest in his dealings with Jacob. Alternate translation: “In fact, everything that you see here is mine!” or “Yes, everything that is here with you is actually mine!”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion
וְלִבְנֹתַ֞י מָֽה־אֶֽעֱשֶׂ֤ה לָאֵ֨לֶּה֙ הַיּ֔וֹם א֥וֹ לִבְנֵיהֶ֖ן אֲשֶׁ֥ר יָלָֽדוּ
and,about,daughters_of,mine what do for,these the=day or for,children_of,their which/who borne
Laban uses this rhetorical question to express his emotions and emphasize that there is nothing that he can do. Consider whether or not a rhetorical question fits well here in your language. Alternate translation: “But there is nothing I can do now to keep my daughters and grandchildren from leaving!”
31:43-44 Laban pushed for a treaty to settle the dispute—he felt vulnerable, so he wanted to secure the borders. Jacob did not need a treaty, since God had provided for him and protected him.

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.
Acknowledgements: The Hebrew text, lemmas, and morphology are all thanks to the OSHB and some of the glosses are from Macula Hebrew.
