19 Iyi ndi mbiri ya Isake mwana wa Abrahamu. Abrahamu anabereka Isake
Iyi ndiyo nhoroondo yomwanakomana waAbhurahama, Isaka. Abhurahama akabereka Isaka,
20 ndipo Isake anali ndi zaka makumi anayi pamene anakwatira Rebeka mwana wa Betueli Mwaramu wa ku Padanaramu mlongo wa Labani Mwaramu.
uye Isaka akanga ava namakore makumi mana okuberekwa paakawana Rabheka mwanasikana waBhetueri muAramu, aibva kuPadhani Aramu uye ari hanzvadzi yaRabhani muAramu.
21 Isake anapempherera mkazi wake kwa Yehova popeza iye anali wosabereka. Yehova anayankha pemphero lake ndipo mkazi wake Rebeka anatenga pathupi.
Isaka akanyengeterera mukadzi wake kuna Jehovha, nokuti akanga asingabereki. Jehovha akapindura munyengetero wake, uye mukadzi wake Rabheka akava nemimba.
22 Koma pamene anawo amalimbana mʼmimba mwake, iye anati, “Bwanji zikundichitikira zoterezi?” Choncho anapita kukafunsa kwa Yehova.
Vana vakanga vachisundana mukati make, iye akati, “Seiko izvi zvichiitika kwandiri?” Saka akaenda kundobvunza Jehovha.
23 Yehova anati kwa iye, “Udzabala mafuko awiri a anthu olimbana, ndipo magulu awiri a anthu ochokera mwa iwe adzasiyana; fuko limodzi lidzakhala la mphamvu kuposa linzake, ndipo wamkulu adzatumikira wamngʼono.”
Jehovha akati kwaari, “Ndudzi mbiri dziri muchizvaro chako, uye marudzi maviri achabuda mauri achaparadzana; rumwe rudzi ruchava nesimba kupfuura rumwe, uye mukuru achashumira muduku.”
24 Pamene nthawi inakwana yakuti abeleke, Rebeka anaberekadi mapasa.
Nguva yokubereka kwake yakati yasvika, onei makanga muna vakomana vaviri muchizvaro chake.
25 Woyamba kubadwa anali wofiira, ndipo thupi lake lonse linali ngati chovala cha ubweya; choncho anamutcha Esau.
Akatanga kubuda akanga ari mutsvuku, uye muviri wake wose wakanga wakaita senguo ine mvere; saka vakamutumidza zita rokuti Esau.
26 Kenaka mʼbale wake anabadwa atagwira chidendene cha Esau; choncho anamutcha Yakobo. Isake anali ndi zaka 60 pamene Rebeka anabereka mapasawa.
Shure kwaizvozvo, mununʼuna wake akabuda, ruoko rwake rwakabata chitsitsinho chaEsau; saka akatumidzwa zita rokuti Jakobho. Isaka akanga ava namakore okuberekwa makumi matanhatu Rabheka paakavabereka.
27 Anyamatawo anakula ndipo Esau anakhala katswiri wosaka, munthu wamʼthengo, pamene Yakobo anali munthu wofatsa, wokonda kukhala pa nyumba.
Vakomana vakakura, uye Esau akava mudzimba akachenjera, murume wesango, asi Jakobho akanga ari murume akanyarara, achigara pakati pamatende.
28 Isake ankakonda Esau chifukwa cha nyama za kutchire zomwe ankakonda kudya, koma Rebeka ankakonda Yakobo.
Sezvo Isaka aifarira nyama yemhuka, aida Esau, asi Rabheka aida Jakobho.
29 Tsiku lina pamene Yakobo ankaphika chakudya, Esau anabwera kuchokera kuthengo ali wolefuka ndi njala.
Rimwe zuva Jakobho paakanga achibika zvokudya, Esau akasvikopinda achibva kusango, aziya nenzara!
30 Iye anati kwa Yakobo, “Tandipatsako phala lofiiralo, ndimwe! Ndalefuka ndi njala.” (Nʼchifukwa chake amatchedwanso Edomu).
Akati kuna Jakobho, “Dokurumidzawozve, undipewo zvimwe zvokudya zvakatsvukira izvo ndidye! Ndava kuziya nenzara!” (Ndokusaka akatumidzwawo zita rokuti Edhomu).
31 Yakobo anayankha, “Choyamba undigulitse ukulu wako.”
Jakobho akapindura akati, “Tanga wanditengesera udangwe hwako.”
32 Esau anati, “Chabwino, ine ndatsala pangʼono kufa, ukulu undithandiza chiyani?”
Esau akati, “Tarira, ndava kuda kufa ini. Ko, udangwe huchandibatsirei?”
33 Koma Yakobo anati, “Lumbira kwa ine choyamba.” Kotero Esau analumbiradi, ndipo anagulitsa ukulu wake kwa Yakobo.
Asi Jakobho akati, “Tanga wandipikira.” Saka akapika mhiko kwaari, achitengesa udangwe hwake kuna Jakobho.
34 Choncho Yakobo anamupatsa Esau buledi ndi phala lofiira lija. Iye anadya ndi kumwa, nanyamuka kumapita. Motero Esau anapeputsa ukulu wake wachisamba uja.
Ipapo Jakobho akapa Esau chingwa nenyemba. Akadya uye akanwa, ipapo akasimuka akaenda. Saka Esau akazvidza udangwe hwake.
