1 Yakobo anapitiriza ulendo wake kupita ku dziko la anthu a kummawa.
Jekopu'a masetere hume vuno, zage hanati kaziga vahe'mofo mopafi uhanati'ne.
2 Atafika kumeneko anaona chitsime ku busa ndipo panali magulu atatu a nkhosa zitagona pafupi ndi chitsimecho chifukwa nkhosazo zimamwetsedwa madzi ochokera mʼchitsimecho. Pamwamba pa chitsimecho panali mwala waukulu.
Agra kesga huno trazampi keana, tinkerire tagufa afu kevu masenageno ke'ne, ana tikerireti sipisipiramina tina afi'za nezmize. Hanki ana tinkerimofo agitera ra have runkani rente'naze.
3 Amati nkhosa zonse zikasonkhana, abusawo ankagudubuza mwalawo, kuwuchotsa ndi kumwetsa madzi nkhosazo. Kenaka ankawubwezera mwalawo pamalo pake, pakamwa pa chitsimepo.
Anante mika sipisipi kva vahe'mo'za utru hute'za, kerimofo agiteti havea atufe ante'ne'za, tina afi'za sipisipi zamia zamite'za, ete ana havea atufe'za ana kerimofo avazare runkani rentetere nehazane.
4 Yakobo anafunsa abusawo kuti, “Abale anga, mwachokera kuti?” Iwo anayankha, “Tachokera ku Harani.”
Hagi Jekopu'a zamagrikura amanage hu'ne, Nafuheta tamagra igatire? Hige'za kenona hu'za, Tagra Haranitire.
5 Iye anawafunsanso kuti, “Kodi Labani, mdzukulu wa Nahori mukumudziwa?” Iwo anayankha, “Inde tikumudziwa?”
Hazageno Agra amanage huno zamasmi'ne, Nahori negeho Lebanina ke'nazo? Hige'za zamagra kenona amanage hu'naze, Tagra agrira ke'none.
6 Ndipo Yakobo anawafunsanso, “Kodi ali bwino?” Iwo anati, “Inde ali bwino. Nayu Rakele mwana wake akubwera apoyu ndi nkhosa.”
Hazageno Jekopu'a zamagrira amanage huno zamasmi'ne, Lebani'a knare huno mani'nefi? Hige'za zamagra hu'za, Agra knare huno mani'ne. Hanki antu ko, agri'mofa Resoli'a sipisipi zaga'ane ne-e.
7 Iye anati, “Taonani, dzuwa likanalipo ndipo nthawi yosonkhanitsa nkhosa sinakwane. Bwanji osazimwetsa madzi nkhosazi.”
Hazageno Jekopu'a anage huno zamasmine, Keho, zagea anamifi megeno afu'zagarami eritru hukna omane'neanki, sipisipi afuzaga tina nezmita zamavareta vinke'za trazana ome neho, huno nehige'za,
8 Iwo anayankha, “Ayi sitingatero. Tidikira mpaka nkhosa zonse zisonkhane. Zikatero, tigubuduza mwalawu kuwuchotsa pamwamba pa chitsimepo, kenaka nʼkuzimwetsa madzi nkhosazo.”
zamagra amanage hu'naze, E'inahura osu'nenunkeno mika'a emetru hute'nageta, tinkeriretira have avaza'a eritreta tina afi zamisunke'za negahaze.
9 Ali chiyankhulire nawo, Rakele anafika ndi nkhosa za abambo ake popeza ndiye amene ankaweta nkhosazo.
Hagi Jekopu'a nanekea zamagrane nehigeno, Resoli'a agra sipisipi kva nehia mofakino, nefa sipisipi zamavareno e'ne.
10 Yakobo ataona Rakele mwana wa Labani, mlongo wa amayi ake, ali ndi nkhosa za Labani, anapita nawugudubuza mwala uja nazimwetsa madzi nkhosa za amalume akezo.
Jekopu'a nenogo Lebani mofa Resoli'ma sipisipi'ane ne-egeno, negeno vuno tin keriretira havea ome rekrehe huno, nerera nesaro Lebani sipisipia ti afizmi'ne.
11 Kenaka Yakobo anapsompsona Rakele nayamba kulira mokweza.
Anante Jekopu'a Resolina antako hunenteno, ranke huno zavi ate'ne.
12 Kenaka Yakobo anawuza Rakele kuti iye ndi mwana wa Rebeka, mlongo wa abambo a Rakele uja. Choncho Rakele anathamanga nakawuza abambo ake.
Jekopu'a Resolina amanage huno asamine, Nafakamofo nesaro Rebeka mofavre mani'noe, higeno Resoli'a agareno vuno nefa ome asmi'ne.
13 Labani atamva za Yakobo, mwana wa mlongo wake, anafulumira kukakumana naye. Anamukupatira napsompsona, napita naye ku nyumba kwake. Yakobo anafotokozera Labani zonse zinachitika.
Hanki Lebani'a nesaro mofavre nenogo nenekema nentahino'a, ome ke'naku agareno vuno, ome anukino antako hunenteno avreno noma'afi e'ne. Ana higeno Jekopu'a hakare'a kea asami vaga'rene.
14 Ndipo, Labani anati kwa iye, “Iwe ndiwe ndithu fupa ndi mnofu wanga.” Yakobo anakhala ndi Labani mwezi umodzi.
Ana hutegeno Lebani'a amanage huno asami'ne, Kagra nagri kora mani'nane. Higeno Jekopu'a anante mago ika agrane mani'ne.
15 Tsono Labani anawuza Yakobo kuti, “Zoona iwe ndi ife ndi abale. Koma suyenera kundigwirira ntchito popanda malipiro. Ndiwuze kuti malipiro ako azikhala wotani?”
Hagi Lebani'a amanage huno Jekopuna asami'ne, Kagra nagri kora mani'nankure hunka amne eri'zana e'origahane. Nama'a kagrira miza hugantegahufi nasamio?
16 Tsono Labani anali ndi ana aakazi awiri; dzina la wamkulu linali Leya, ndipo dzina la wamngʼono linali Rakele.
Lebani'a tare mofatre zanante'ne, kotamofo agi'a Lia'e, osi'mofo agi'a Resoli'e.
17 Leya anali ndi maonekedwe wofowoka koma Rakele anali wa maonekedwe wokongola kwambiri.
Lia avurgamo'a kazakiri'ne, hagi Resoli avurgamo'ene, avufgamo enena knarezantfa hu'ne.
18 Yakobo anakonda Rakele ndipo anati, “Ndidzakugwirirani ntchito kwa zaka zisanu ndi ziwiri chifukwa cha mwana wanu wamngʼono, Rakele.”
Jekopu'a Resolina avesinenteno amanage hu'ne, Nagra 7ni'a kafufi mofaka'a Resolima a'ma erinte'nakura erizanka'a erigantegahue.
19 Labani anati, “Kuli bwino kuti ndimupereke kwa iwe ameneyu kusiyana ndi munthu wina. Khala ndi ine kuno.”
Higeno Lebani'a amanage hu'ne, Ru vahe ami'zankura kagri'ma kamisuana knare hu'neanki nagrane manio.
20 Choncho Yakobo anagwira ntchito zaka zisanu ndi ziwiri chifukwa cha Rakele. Koma kwa iye zaka zonsezi zinakhala ngati masiku wochepa chifukwa anamukonda Rakele.
Jekopu'a 7ni'a zagegfufi Resolima a'ma erikura eri'zana eri'neankino, ana knamo'a agritera osi knasente'ne. Na'ankure agrama Resolima avesinte'negu anara hu'ne.
21 Kenaka Yakobo anati kwa Labani, “Nthawi yanga ndakwanitsa, ndipatseni mwana wanu kuti ndimukwatire.”
Hagi henka ana knamo'a vagaregeno Jekopu'a amanage huno Lebanikura hu'ne, Knama nami'nana knamo'a hago vagareanki, a'ni'a namige'na ara eri'neno.
22 Pamenepo Labani anakonza phwando la ukwati, nayitana anthu onse a pamalopo.
Higeno Lebani'a ana kumate vahera miko zamare tru huno, aravema hu ne'za kre'ne.
23 Koma pokwana usiku, Labani anatenga mwana wake wamkazi Leya namupatsa Yakobo, ndipo Yakobo anagona naye.
Ana kenegera Lebani'a Lia avreno Jekopu ome amigeno anteno mase'ne.
24 Ndipo Labani anapereka wantchito wake wamkazi Zilipa kwa Leya kuti akhale wantchito wake.
Lebani'a eri'za erinentea a' Zilpa avreno mofa'a Lia katoza huminogu eme ami'ne.
25 Pakucha mmawa, Yakobo anaona kuti anagona ndi Leya. Choncho Yakobo anafunsa Labani, “Nʼchiyani mwandichitirachi? Kodi ine sindinakugwirireni ntchito chifukwa cha Rakele? Bwanji mwandinyenga?”
Hanki Jekopu'a maseno kotigeno nanterama keana Lia mani'negeno keteno, agra amanage Lebanikura hu'ne, Resolinte eri'zana eri kantenoanki, kagra na'a amazana hunantane? Nahigenka renavatga hane?
26 Labani anayankha, “Si mwambo wathu kuno kupereka wamngʼono ku banja, wamkulu asanakwatiwe.
Anage hianagi Lebani'a ana kenona amanage hu'ne, Tagri kumapina nagna'amo nuna'amofo agatereno ve' eri'zana omane'ne.
27 Yamba watsiriza sabata ya chikondwerero cha ukwati wa Leya; kenaka ndidzakupatsanso Rakele. Koma udzayenera kundigwirira ntchito zaka zisanu ndi ziwiri.”
Mago sonta manitegeta, tagra mago'mofona kamisnunkenka ara erigahananki, ete mago'ene 7ni'a zagegafu eri'zana eri nantegahane.
28 Yakobo anachitadi momwemo. Anamaliza sabata ya chikondwerero cha Leya, ndipo Labani anamupatsa Rakele kuti akhale mkazi wake.
Higeno Jekopu'a mago sonta Lia'ene mani vagare'tegeno, Lebani'a mofa'a Resolina avreno Jekopuna amigeno nenaro'za hu'ne.
29 Labani anapereka wantchito wake wamkazi Biliha kwa Rakele kuti akhale wantchito wake.
Lebani'a, katozama'a e'neri a' Bilhana avreno Resoli katoza eri aminogu ami'ne.
30 Yakobo analowana ndi mkazi wake Rakele, ndipo Yakobo anakonda Rakele kuposa Leya. Ndipo anamugwirira ntchito Labani zaka zina zisanu ndi ziwiri chifukwa cha Rakele.
Hanki Jekopu'a Resolina anteno mase'ne, agra Liama avesi nenteama'a agatereno Resolina tusiza huno avesintene. Agra ana nehuno Lebanina erizana 7ni'a zagegafufi erinte'ne.
31 Pamene Mulungu anaona kuti Yakobo sankamukonda Leya kwambiri, Iye analola kuti Leya uja akhale ndi ana, ndi kuti Rakele akhale wosabala.
Hanki Ra Anumzamo'ma keana Jekopu'a Liana avesi ontegeno, Anumzamo'a rimpa eri vasne'ne, ana hianagi Resoli'a narvo a' mani'ne.
32 Leya anakhala ndi pathupi ndipo anabereka mwana wamwamuna. Anamutcha Rubeni pakuti anati, “Yehova waona kusauka kwanga. Zoonadi, mwamuna wanga adzandikonda tsopano.”
Lia'a amu'ene huno ne' kasenteno agi'a Rubeni'e huno nenteno anage hu'ne, Na'ankure Ra Anumzamo natazani'a nazeri knare hiankino, nenave'a avesi nantegahie.
33 Anakhalanso ndi pathupi ndipo pamene anabereka mwana wamwamuna anati, “Yehova anamva kuti mwamuna wanga sakundikonda, choncho wandipatsanso mwana winayu.” Ndipo anamutcha dzina lake Simeoni.
Anante Lia'a mago'ene amu'ene huno ne' kasenteno amanage hu'ne, nenave'a avesi onantegeno Ra Anumzamo antahi namino mago'ene ama mofavrea nenamie, nehuno Simioni'e huno agia antemi'ne.
34 Anatenganso pathupi kachitatu, ndipo pamene anabereka mwana wamwamuna anati, “Pano pokha tidzaphatikana kwambiri ndi mwamuna wanga, chifukwa ndamubalira ana aamuna atatu.” Kotero anamutcha dzina lake Levi.
Anante Lia'a amu'ene huno ne' kasenteno amanage hu'ne, Menina ama knarera, nenave'a tvaonire manigahie. Na'ankure nagra tagufa ne'mofavre kase amue. Ana hu'negu agi'a Levi'e huno antemi'ne.
35 Anatenganso pathupi pena, ndipo pamene anabereka mwana wamwamuna, iye anati, “Nthawi ino ndidzalemekeza Yehova.” Choncho anamutcha Yuda. Kenaka analeka kubereka.
Anante Lia'a mago'ene amu'ene huno, ne'mofavre kasenteno amanage hu'ne, Menina nagra Ra Anumzamofo agi'a erisga hue. Ana hu'negu agi'a Juda'e hu'ne. Ana huteno ana a'mo'a mago'ene mofavrea onte'ne.
