Genesis 31
1 Yakobo anamva zimene ana aamuna a Labani ankanena kuti, “Yakobo watenga chilichonse cha abambo athu ndipo wapeza chuma chonsechi pogwiritsa ntchito chuma cha abambo athu.”
Pea fanongo ia ki he lea ʻae ngaahi foha ʻo Lepani, ʻo pehē, “Kuo toʻo ʻe Sēkope ʻae ngaahi meʻa kotoa pē ʻa ʻetau tamai; pea kuo ne maʻu ʻae nāunau ni kotoa pē ʻi he meʻa ʻa ʻetau tamai.”
2 Choncho Yakobo anaona kuti Labani sankamuonetsanso nkhope yabwino monga kale.
Pea naʻe mamata ʻa Sēkope ki he mata ʻo Lepani, pea vakai, naʻe ʻikai lelei ia kiate ia ʻo hangē ko ia ʻi muʻa.
3 Pamenepo Yehova anati kwa Yakobo, “Bwerera ku dziko la makolo ako ndi kwa abale ako, ndipo Ine ndidzakhala nawe.”
Pea pehē ʻe Sihova kia Sēkope, “Foki atu ki he fonua ʻo hoʻo ngaahi tamai mo ho ngaahi kāinga; pea te u ʻiate koe.”
4 Choncho Yakobo anatumiza mawu kukayitana Rakele ndi Leya kuti abwere ku busa kumene ankaweta ziweto zake.
Pea ʻalu ʻa Sēkope ʻo ne ui mai ʻa Lesieli mo Lia kiate ia ki he ngoue, ki he fanga manu.
5 Iye anawawuza kuti, “Abambo anu sakundionetsanso nkhope yabwino monga kale, koma Mulungu wa makolo anga wakhala ali nane.
Pea pehē ʻe ia kiate kinaua, “ʻOku ou sio ki he mata ʻo hoʻomo tamai ʻoku ʻikai kei ʻiate au, ʻo hangē ko ia ʻi muʻa; ka kuo ʻiate au ʻae ʻOtua ʻo ʻeku tamai.
6 Inu mukudziwa kuti ndagwirira ntchito abambo anu ndi mphamvu zanga zonse,
Pea ʻoku mo ʻilo naʻaku ngāue ki hoʻomo tamai, ʻaki ʻa ʻeku mālohi kotoa.
7 chonsecho abambo anu akhala akundinyenga posintha malipiro anga kakhumi konse. Komabe Mulungu sanalole kuti andichitire choyipa
Pea kuo kākaaʻi au ʻe hoʻomo tamai, mo ne fakakehe ʻeku totongi ʻo liunga hongofulu; ka naʻe ʻikai tuku ia ʻe he ʻOtua ke u kovi ai.
8 Pamene abambo anu anati, ‘Zamawangamawanga zidzakhala malipiro ako,’ ziweto zonse zinaswa ana amawangamawanga; ndipo pamene anati, ‘Zamichocholozi zidzakhala malipiro ako,’ ziweto zonse zinaswa ana a michocholozi.
Kapau naʻa ne pehē ʻe ia, ‘Ke ʻoʻou ʻae pulepule ko hoʻo totongi,’ pea fānau leva ʻae fanga manu kotoa pē ko e pulepule: pea kapau naʻa ne pehē, ‘Ko hoʻo totongi ʻae ilaila;’ pea fānau leva ʻae fanga manu kotoa pē ko e ilaila.
9 Motero Mulungu walanda abambo anu ziweto zawo ndi kundipatsa.
Ko ia kuo toʻo ʻe he ʻOtua ʻae fanga manu ʻa hoʻomo tamai ʻo foaki ia kiate au.
10 “Pa nthawi imene ziweto zimatenga mawere ndinalota maloto, ndipo ndinaona kuti atonde onse amene ankakwerawo anali amichocholozi, amawangamawanga kapena amathothomathotho
“Pea ʻi he tuituʻia ʻae fanga manu, naʻaku hanga hake hoku mata, ʻo mamata ʻi he misi, pea vakai, ko e fanga sipitangata, naʻe hopo ki he fanga manu naʻe ilaila mo e pulepule mo e kelo.
11 Kutulo komweko, mngelo wa Mulungu anati, ‘Yakobo.’ Ine ndinayankha, ‘Ee, Ambuye.’
Pea lea ʻae ʻāngelo ʻae ʻOtua kiate au ʻi he misi, ʻo pehē, ‘Sēkope:’ pea naʻaku pehē, ‘Ko au eni.’
12 Ndipo iye anati, ‘Tayangʼana ndipo taona kuti atonde onse okwerana ndi ziweto ali amichocholozi, amawangamawanga kapena a mathothomathotho, popeza ndaona zonse zimene Labani wakhala akukuchitira.
Pea pehē ʻe ia, “Hanga hake eni ho mata”, ʻo vakai, ‘Ko e fanga sipitangata ʻoku hopo ki he fanga manu, ko e ilaila mo e pulepule, mo e kelo; he kuo u mamata ki he meʻa kotoa pē ʻoku fai ʻe Lepani kiate koe.
13 Ine ndine Mulungu amene ndinadza kwa iwe pa Beteli paja. Beteli ndi kumalo kuja kumene unayimika mwala ndi kuwudzoza mafuta, komanso kulumbira kwa Ine. Tsopano choka mʼdziko lino msanga ndi kubwerera ku dziko la kwanu.’”
Ko au ko e ʻOtua ʻo Peteli, ʻaia naʻa ke fakatapui ai ʻae pou, mo ke fai ʻae fuakava kiate au; pea ko eni, ke ke tuʻu, pea ke ʻalu ʻi he fonua ni, ʻo toe ʻalu ki he fonua ʻo ho ngaahi kāinga.’”
14 Pamenepo Rakele ndi Leya anayankha, “Kodi ngati ife tilinso ndi gawo ngati cholowa pa chuma cha abambo athu?
Pea pehēange ʻe Lesieli mo Lia kiate ia, “He ʻoku kei ai ha ʻinasi pe tufakanga kiate kimaua ʻi he fale ʻoe ma tamai?
15 Kodi abambo athu samationa ife ngati alendo? Iwo anatigulitsa ndi kuwononga ndalama zonse anazipeza pa ifezo.
ʻIkai kuo ne lau ʻakimaua ko e ongo muli? He kuo ne fakatau ʻakimaua, pea kuo ne fakaʻosiʻosi foki ʻe ma paʻanga.
16 Chuma chonse chimene Mulungu walanda abambo athu, ndi chathu ndi ana athu. Tsono inu chitani zimene Mulungu wakuwuzani.”
He ko e koloa kotoa pē kuo toʻo ʻe he ʻOtua mei heʻetau tamai ʻoku ʻatautolu ia, pea mo e tau fānau: pea ko eni, ko e meʻa kotoa pē kuo lea ʻaki ʻe he ʻOtua kiate koe, ke ke fai.”
17 Pamenepo Yakobo anakonzeka nakweza ana ake ndi akazi ake pa ngamira,
Pea tuʻu hake ʻa Sēkope, ʻo ne fakaheka ʻa ʻene fānau, mo hono ngaahi uaifi ki he fanga kāmeli;
18 anakusa ziweto zake zonse patsogolo natenga katundu wake yense amene anamupeza ku Padanaramu, ndipo ananyamuka kupita ku Kanaani, ku dziko la abambo ake, Isake.
Pea naʻa ne ʻave ʻene fanga manu kotoa pē, mo ʻene meʻa kotoa pē ʻaia naʻa ne maʻu, ʻae fanga manu naʻe tupu kiate ia, ʻaia naʻa ne maʻu ʻi Petanalami, ke ʻalu ia ki heʻene tamai ko ʻAisake ki he fonua ko Kēnani.
19 Labani atachoka pa khomo kupita kukameta nkhosa, mʼmbuyomu Rakele anaba timafano ta milungu ta abambo ake.
Pea naʻe ʻalu ʻa Lepani ke kosi ʻene fanga sipi: pea naʻe kaihaʻasi ʻe Lesieli ʻae ngaahi tamapua ʻa ʻene tamai.
20 Komanso nthawi iyi nʼkuti Yakobo atamunamiza Labani Mwaramu posamuwuza zoona kuti afuna kuthawa.
Pea ʻalu fakafufū pe ʻa Sēkope meia Lepani, ko e [tangata ]Silia, he naʻe ʻikai te ne tala kiate ia ʻene hola.
21 Choncho anathawa ndi zonse anali nazo. Ananyamuka nawoloka mtsinje wa Yufurate kupita cha ku Giliyadi, dziko la mapiri.
Ko ia naʻe hola ia mo ʻene meʻa kotoa pē: pea tuʻu hake ia ʻo ne laka ʻi he vaitafe, pea hanga hono mata ki he moʻunga ko Kiliate.
22 Patapita masiku atatu, Labani anawuzidwa kuti Yakobo wathawa.
Pea ʻi hono tolu ʻoe ʻaho, naʻe fakahā kia Lepani, ʻae hola ʻa Sēkope.
23 Pomwepo anatengana ndi abale ake namulondola Yakobo kwa masiku asanu ndi awiri ndipo anakamupezera ku Giliyadi, dziko la mapiri.
Pea naʻa ne ʻalu mo hono kāinga tangata, pea nau tuli ia ʻi he ʻaho ʻe fitu; pea naʻa nau maʻu ia ʻi he moʻunga ko Kiliate.
24 Koma Mulungu anabwera kwa Labani, Mwaramu kutulo usiku nati kwa iye, “Samala kuti usamuopseze Yakobo mwa njira iliyonse.”
Pea naʻe hāʻele mai ʻae ʻOtua kia Lepani ko e [tangata ]Silia, ʻi he misi ʻi he pō, ʻo ne pehē kiate ia, “Vakai, ʻoua naʻa ke lea kia Sēkope ʻi he lelei pe ʻi he kovi.”
25 Pamene Labani amamupeza Yakobo, nʼkuti Yakobo atamanga matenti ake ku mapiri a dziko la Giliyadi. Nayenso Labani ndi abale ake anamanga matenti awo komweko.
Pea maʻu ʻe Lepani ʻa Sēkope. He naʻe fokotuʻu ʻe Sēkope hono fale fehikitaki ʻi he moʻunga; pea pehē foki ʻa Lepani mo hono kāinga, naʻa nau fokotuʻu fale fehikitaki ʻi he moʻunga ko Kiliate.
26 Tsono Labani anati kwa Yakobo, “Kodi ndakuchita chiyani kuti iwe undinamize ndi kutenga ana anga ngati anthu ogwidwa ku nkhondo?
Pea pehē ʻe Lepani kia Sēkope, “Ko e hā eni kuo ke fai, koeʻuhi kuo ke ʻalu fakafokifā pe, mo ke ʻave hoku ngaahi ʻofefine, ʻo hangē ko e ngaahi pōpula kuo maʻu ʻaki ʻae heletā?
27 Chifukwa chiyani unandinamiza ndi kuthawa mozemba wosandiwuza? Ukanandiwuza, bwezi titatsanzikana mwa chisangalalo ndi kuyimba nyimbo ndi zisekese ndi azeze.
Ko e hā kuo ke hola fakafufū ai, hangē ha kaihaʻa meiate au: pea naʻe ʻikai te ke tala kiate au, koeʻuhi ke u tuku ko e ke ʻalu ʻi he fiefia, mo e fai hiva, mo e tā ʻae lali mo e haʻape?
28 Sunandilole kuti ndingopsompsona adzukulu anga ndi ana anga aakazi motsanzikana nawo. Unachita zopusa.
Pea naʻe ʻikai te ke tuku ke u uma ki ho ngaahi foha, mo hoku ngaahi ʻofefine? Kuo ke fai vale ʻi hoʻo fai pehē.
29 Ndili nayo mphamvu yakukuchita choyipa; koma usiku wapitawu, Mulungu wa abambo ako wandiwuza ine kuti, ‘Usamuopseze Yakobo mwa njira iliyonse.’
ʻOku ai ʻae mālohi ʻi hoku nima ke fai kovi kiate koe: ka ko e ʻOtua ʻo hoʻo tamai naʻa ne folofola mai kiate au ʻanepō, ʻo pehē, ‘Vakai, ʻoua naʻa ke lea kia Sēkope, ʻi he lelei, pe ʻi he kovi.’
30 Ndikudziwa kuti unachoka chifukwa unapukwa kufuna kubwerera kwanu kwa abambo ako. Koma nʼchifukwa chiyani unaba milungu yanga?”
Pea ko eni, naʻe totonu hoʻo holi ke ʻalu, he ʻoku ke holi ki he fale ʻo hoʻo tamai, ka ko e hā kuo ke kaihaʻa ai hoku ngaahi ʻotua?”
31 Yakobo anayankha Labani kuti, “Ine ndinkaopa chifukwa ndinkaganiza kuti mukhoza kundilanda anawa.
Pea lea ʻa Sēkope, ʻo ne pehē kia Lepani, “Koeʻuhi naʻaku manavahē, he naʻaku pehē, telia naʻa ke toʻo fakamālohi pe, ʻa ho ngaahi ʻofefine ʻiate au.
32 Koma mukapeza wina aliyense ndi milungu yanu, ameneyo sakhala ndi moyo. Anthu onse akupenya, lozani chilichonse chanu chimene chili ndi ine, ndipo ngati muchipeze tengani. Koma Yakobo sankadziwa kuti Rakele anabadi milunguyo.”
Pea ko ia te ke ʻilo ki ai ʻa ho ngaahi ʻotua ke ʻoua naʻa moʻui ia; ʻi he ʻao ʻo ho ta kāinga, ke ke vakai ʻae meʻa ʻaʻau, pea ke toʻo ia kiate koe.” He naʻe ʻikai ʻilo ʻe Sēkope kuo kaihaʻasi ia ʻe Lesieli.
33 Choncho Labani analowadi mu tenti ya Yakobo, ya Leya ndi mʼmatenti a adzakazi awiri aja, koma sanapeze kalikonse. Atatuluka mu tenti ya Leya, analowa ya Rakele.
Pea hū atu ʻa Lepani ki he fale fehikitaki ʻo Sēkope, mo e fale fehikitaki ʻo Lia, pea mo e fale fehikitaki ʻe ua ʻoe ongo kaunanga; ka naʻe ʻikai te ne ʻilo ia. Pea ʻalu ia mei he fale fehikitaki ʻo Lia, mo ne hū ki he fale fehikitaki ʻo Lesieli.
34 Koma Rakele anatengadi milungu ija ndi kuyiika mʼkati mwa chokhalira cha pa ngamira, iye nʼkukhalapo. Choncho Labani anafunafuna mu tenti monse koma wosapeza kanthu.
Ka kuo toʻo ʻe Lesieli ʻae ngaahi tamapua, ʻo ne ʻai ia ki he nāunau ʻoe fanga kāmeli, pea heka ai ia. Pea kumi ʻe Lepani ʻi he potu kotoa pē ʻoe fale fehikitaki, ka naʻe ʻikai te ne ʻilo ia.
35 Rakele anati kwa abambo ake, “Pepanitu musandikwiyire mbuye wanga chifukwa choti sinditha kuyimirira pamaso panu chifukwa ndili kumwezi.” Choncho Labani anafunafuna koma sanayipeze milungu ija.
Pea pehē ʻe ia ki heʻene tamai. “Ke ʻoua naʻa tuputāmaki ʻa ʻeku ʻeiki, koeʻuhi ʻoku ʻikai te u faʻa tuʻu; he ʻoku ʻiate au ʻae anga fakafefine.” Pea naʻe kumi ia, ka naʻe ʻikai te ne ʻilo ʻae ngaahi tamapua.
36 Yakobo anapsa mtima nafunsa Labani mwaukali kuti, “Kodi ndalakwa chiyani? Ndi tchimo lanji limene ndachita kuti muchite kundisaka chonchi?
Pea naʻe ʻita ʻa Sēkope ʻo lea lahi kia Lepani: pea lea ʻa Sēkope ʻo pehē, kia Lepani, “Ko e hā ʻeku fai kovi? Pea ko e hā ʻeku angahala koeʻuhi ke ke tuli ai au ʻi he lili ni?
37 Chifukwa chiyani mwafunyulula katundu wanga? Ndipo mwapeza chiyani cha inu pamenepa? Chimene mwapezapo chiyikeni poyera pamaso pa abale anu ndi anga kuti atiweruze.
He kuo ke kumi ʻi heʻeku meʻa kotoa pē, pea ko e hā hao meʻa kuo ke ʻiloʻi? Fokotuʻu ia ʻi he ʻao ʻo hoku kāinga, mo ho kāinga, koeʻuhi ke nau fakamaau kiate kitaua.
38 “Ndakhala nanu kwa zaka makumi awiri tsopano ndipo nkhosa ndi mbuzi zanu sizinapoloze, kapena ine kudyapo nkhosa za mʼkhola mwanu.
Naʻaku ʻiate koe ʻi he taʻu ʻe uofulu ni, naʻe ʻikai ʻuhimate ʻa hoʻo fanga sipi fefine, mo e fanga kosi fefine, pea ko e sipitangata ʻo hoʻo fanga manu, naʻe ʻikai te u kai.
39 Chiweto chikakhadzulidwa ndi chirombo, sindinkabwera nacho kwa inu. Ineyo ndinkalipira. Inuyo munkandilipiritsa kalikonse kobedwa masana kapena usiku.
Ko ia naʻe kai ʻe he manu fekai naʻe ʻikai te u ʻomi kiate koe: naʻaku totongi ia; naʻa ke maʻu ʻae totongi ʻo ia ʻi hoku nima, kapau naʻe kaihaʻa ia ʻi he ʻaho, pe ʻi he pō.
40 Moyo wanga unali wotere: Dzuwa limanditentha masana ndipo usiku ndimazunzika ndi kuzizira. Tulo sindimalipeza konse.
Naʻaku pehē au, pea naʻe fakavaivai au ʻe he pupuha ʻi he ʻaho, mo e momoko ʻi he pō; pea mahuʻi ʻae mohe mei hoku mata.
41 Zinthu zinali chonchi kwa zaka makumi awiri zimene ndinali mʼnyumba mwanu. Ndinakugwirirani ntchito kwa zaka khumi ndi zinayi chifukwa cha ana anu aakazi awiri ndipo zaka zina zisanu ndi chimodzi chifukwa cha ziweto zanu, ndipo munandisinthira malipiro kakhumi konse.
Kuo u pehē ni ʻi he taʻu ʻe uofulu ʻi ho fale; naʻaku tauhi koe ʻi he taʻu ʻe hongofulu ma fā, koeʻuhi ko ho ongo ʻofefine, mo e taʻu ʻe ono ki hoʻo fanga manu; pea kuo ke fakakehe ʻeku totongi ʻo liunga hongofulu.
42 Akanapanda kukhala nane Mulungu wa abambo anga, Mulungu wa Abrahamu ndi Mulungu amene Isake ankamuopa, mosakayika inu mukanandichotsa chimanjamanja. Koma Mulungu waona zovuta zanga ndi kulimbikira ntchito kwanga, ndipo usiku wapitawu anakudzudzulani.”
Ka ne ʻikai ʻiate au ʻae ʻOtua ʻo ʻeku tamai, ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻEpalahame, mo e manavahē kia ʻAisake, pehē kuo ke fekau au ke u ʻalu taʻehaʻakumeʻa.” Kuo ʻafioʻi ʻe he ʻOtua hoku tautea, mo e ngāue ʻa hoku nima, pea ne valoki ko e ʻanepō.
43 Labani anayankha Yakobo nati, “Ana aakaziwa ndi anga, ana awo ndi anganso. Ziwetozi ndi zanga. Chilichonse ukuona apa ndi changa. Koma tsopano ndingachite chiyani ndi ana anga aakaziwa kapena ndi ana awo?
Pea pehē mai ʻa Lepani kia Sēkope, “Ko e ngaahi ʻofefine ni, ko hoku ngaahi ʻofefine, pea ko e tamaiki ni, ko ʻeku fānau, pea ko e fanga manu ni, ko ʻeku fanga manu, pea ko e meʻa kotoa pē ʻoku ke mamata ki ai ʻoku ʻaʻaku ia: pea ko e hā nai te u fai he ʻaho ni, ki hoku ongo ʻofefine ni, mo e na fānau kuo na fanauʻi?
44 Tsono, tiye tichite pangano pakati pa iwe ndi ine, ndipo likhale mboni pakati pathu.”
Ko eni ke ke haʻu, ke ta fai ʻae fuakava, ʻa koe mo au; pea tuku ia ko e fakamoʻoni kiate kitaua.”
45 Choncho Yakobo anayimiritsa mwala ngati chipilala.
Pea toʻo ʻe Sēkope ʻae maka, ʻo ne fokotuʻu ia ko e pou.
46 Nati kwa abale ake, “Tutani miyala ina.” Choncho anawunjika miyalayo, ndipo anadya chakudya atakhala pa mbali pa muluwo.
Pea pehē ʻe Sēkope ki hono kāinga, “Tānaki ʻae ngaahi maka; pea naʻa nau toʻo ʻae ngaahi maka ʻo fokotuʻu; pea naʻa nau kai ʻi ai, ʻi he fanga maka.”
47 Labani anawutcha muluwo Yegara-sahaduta, ndipo Yakobo anawutcha Galeeda.
Pea ui ia ʻe Lepani, ko Sekaa Satuta; ka naʻe ui ia ʻe Sēkope, ko Kaleti.
48 Labani anati, “Mulu uwu ndi mboni pakati pa inu ndi ine lero.” Ndi chifukwa chake unatchedwa Galeeda.
Pea pehē ʻe Lepani, “Ko e fokotuʻunga maka ni, ko e fakamoʻoni kiate koe mo au he ʻaho ni. Ko ia naʻe ui ai hono hingoa ko Kaleti mo Misipa.”
49 Unatchedwanso Mizipa, chifukwa iye anati, “Yehova aonetsetsa kuti palibe mmodzi mwa ife adzaswe panganoli ngakhale titatalikirana.
He naʻe pehē ʻe ia, “Ke leʻohi ʻe Sihova kiate au mo koe, ʻi he ʻe ta māvae.
50 Ngati ukazunza ana anga kapena kukwatira akazi enanso, ngakhale kuti palibe wina amene ali nafe pano, koma kumbukira kuti Mulungu ndiye mboni pakati pathu.”
Kapau te ke fakamamahi hoku ongo ʻofefine, pea kapau te ke toʻo maʻau ha uaifi kehe, mo hoku ongo ʻofefine, ʻoku ʻikai ha tangata ʻi heni; kae vakai, ko e fakamoʻoni ʻae ʻOtua kiate kitaua:”
51 Labani anatinso kwa Yakobo, “Taona pano pali miyala ndi chipilala chimene ndayimika pakati pa iwe ndi ine.
Pea pehē ʻe Lepani kia Sēkope, “Vakai ki he ngaahi maka ni, mo e pou ʻaia kuo tuku ʻi ho ta vahaʻa;
52 Mulu wa miyala uwu ndi chipilalachi ndi mboni. Ine sindidzadutsa mulu wa miyalawu kudzalimbana ndi iwe. Iwenso usadzadutse mulu wa miyalawu kudzalimbana nane.
Ke fakamoʻoni ʻe he ʻesi ni, mo e pou ni, ʻe ʻikai te u laka ʻi he potu ʻoe ʻesi ni kiate koe, pea ʻe ʻikai te ke laka ʻi he ʻesi ni kiate au, ke fai ha kovi.
53 Mulungu wa Abrahamu ndi Mulungu wa Nahori ndiye adzatiweruze.” Choncho Yakobo analumbira mʼdzina la Mulungu amene Isake, abambo ake ankamuopa.
Ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻEpalahame, mo e ʻOtua ʻo Nehoa, ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻena tamai, fakamaau kiate kitaua.” Pea naʻe fuakava ʻa Sēkope, ʻi he manavahē ʻo ʻene tamai ko ʻAisake.
54 Yakobo anapereka nsembe pa phiri paja, ndipo anayitana abale ake kuti adzadye chakudya. Atadya chakudya anagona pa phiri pomwepo.
Pea feilaulau ʻa Sēkope ʻi he moʻunga, pea naʻa ne ui hono kāinga ke nau kai: pea naʻa nau kai ʻae mā, pea nau mohe ʻi he moʻunga ʻi he pō ko ia.
55 Mmamawa wake, Labani anapsompsona zidzukulu zake ndi ana ake nawadalitsa. Kenaka ananyamuka kubwerera ku mudzi.
Pea tuʻu hengihengi hake pe ʻa Lepani, mo ne uma ki hono ngaahi foha, mo hono ongo ʻofefine, ʻo ne tāpuaki ʻakinautolu; pea ʻalu ʻa Lepani, ʻo toe foki ki hono potu.
