Mose 1 28
1 Isak yɔ Yakob, yrae, eye wògblɔ nɛ be, “Mègaɖe Kanaan nyɔnu siawo dometɔ aɖeke o,
Ngakho u-Isaka wabiza uJakhobe wambusisa wamlaya wathi: “Ungathathi umfazi womKhenani.
2 ke boŋ yi Padan Aram enumake, eye nàge ɖe tɔgbuiwò Betuel ƒe aƒe me, eye nàɖe nɔviwò siwo nye nyruiwò, Laban vinyɔnuwo la dometɔ ɖeka.
Hamba khathesi uye ePhadani Aramu, emzini kayihlomkhulu uBhethuweli. Thatha khona umfazi, emadodakazini kaLabhani, umnewabo kanyoko.
3 Mawu Ŋusẽkatãtɔ nayra wò, ana viwòwo nasɔ gbɔ, eye nàzu dukɔ gã aɖe!
Sengathi uNkulunkulu uSomandla angakubusisa akuphe inzalo, andise ubunengi bayo lize libe yizizwe ezinengi.
4 Mawu nana yayra gã siwo ŋugbe wòdo na Abraham la nava wò kple wò dzidzimeviwo dzi. Anyigba si dzi míele fifia abe amedzrowo ene la nazu tɔwò, elabena Mawu tsɔe na Abraham.”
Sengathi angakupha wena kanye lezizukulwane zakho isibusiso leso esaphiwa u-Abhrahama, ukuze lilithathe ilizwe leli ohlezi kulo manje njengowezizweni, ilizwe uNkulunkulu alipha u-Abhrahama.”
5 Ale Isak na Yakob yi Padan Aram be wòakpɔ nyruia Laban, ame si nye Betuel Arameatɔ la ƒe viŋutsu eye wòganye Yakob kple Esau dadaa Rebeka nɔviŋutsu la ɖa.
Ngakho u-Isaka wasemvalelisa uJakhobe, waya ePhadani Aramu, kuLabhani indodana kaBhethuweli umʼAramu, umnewabo kaRabheka, owayengunina kaJakhobe lo-Esawu.
6 Esau kpɔ be ye fofo Isak yra Yakob, eye wòɖoe ɖe Padan Aram be wòaɖe srɔ̃ le afi ma, ke ede se na Yakob be, “Megaɖe Kanaan nyɔnu o.”
U-Esawu wezwa ukuthi u-Isaka wayembusisile uJakhobe njalo wamthumela ePhadani Aramu ukuthi ayothatha umfazi khona, lokuthi wathi embusisa wamlaya wathi, “Ungathathi umfazi ongumKhenani,”
7 Yakob ɖo to fofoa kple dadaa, eye wòyi Padan Aram.
lokuthi uJakhobe wayebalalele uyise lonina wahamba waya ePhadani Aramu.
8 Esau de dzesii be Kanaan nyɔnuawo medze ye fofo Isak ŋu o.
U-Esawu wakunanzelela ukuthi abafazi bamaKhenani babeyisinengiso kuyise u-Isaka;
9 Ale Esau yi etɔgã, Ismael ƒe ƒome me, eye wòɖe srɔ̃ bubu eve tso afi ma kpe ɖe srɔ̃ siwo nɔ esi xoxo la ŋu. Srɔ̃ yeye siawo dometɔ ɖekae nye Mahalat, Nebayɔt nɔvi kple Ismael si nye Abraham ƒe viŋutsu la ƒe vinyɔnu.
ngakho wasesiya ku-Ishumayeli wathatha uMahalathi, udadewabo kaNebhayothi, indodakazi ka-Ishumayeli indodana ka-Abhrahama, phezu kwabanye abafazi ayevele eselabo.
10 Yakob dzo le Beerseba, eye wòɖo ta Haran.
UJakhobe wasuka eBherishebha waqonda eHarani.
11 Esi zã do la, etsi teƒe aɖe dɔ, eye wòziɔ kpe aɖe abe suɖui ene be yeadɔ alɔ̃.
Wafika kwenye indawo, wema lapho ukuthi alale khona ngoba ilanga laselitshonile. Wathatha ilitshe khona walenza umqamelo walala.
12 Eku drɔ̃e kpɔ atsrɔe aɖe si didi tso anyigba yi ɖatɔ dziƒo, eye wòkpɔ mawudɔlawo nɔ eliam ganɔ ɖiɖim.
Wehlelwa liphupho wabona ilele ligxile phansi emhlabeni, isiqongo salo sifinyelela ezulwini, kwathi izingilosi zikaNkulunkulu zabe ziqansa zisehla kulo.
13 Ekpɔ Yehowa wònɔ atsrɔe la tame, eye wògblɔ be, “Nyee nye Yehowa, Abraham ƒe Mawu kple fofowò Isak ƒe Mawu. Anyigba si dzi nèmlɔ la, matsɔe ana wò kple wò dzidzimeviwo,
Laphaya ngaphezu kwalo kwakumi uThixo esithi: “nginguThixo, uNkulunkulu kayihlo u-Abhrahama loNkulunkulu ka-Isaka. Ngizakupha wena kanye lezizukulwane zakho ilizwe leli olele kulo.
14 elabena wò dzidzimeviwo asɔ gbɔ abe ʋuʋudedi ene! Woakaka ɖe anyigba dzi tso ɣedzeƒe yi ɣetoɖoƒe, tso anyiehe yi dziehe, eye woayra dukɔwo katã le xexea me to wò kple wò dzidzimeviwo dzi.
Izizukulwane zakho zizakuba njengothuli lomhlabathi, njalo lizaqhela liye entshonalanga lasempumalanga, enyakatho laseningizimu. Bonke abantu bomhlaba bazabusiswa ngenxa yakho lenzalo yakho.
15 Gawu la, meli kpli wò, makpɔ tawò le afi sia afi si nàyi la, eye makplɔ wò nàgbɔ ava anyigba sia dzi dedie. Manɔ kpli wò va se ɖe esime matsɔ nu siwo katã ŋugbe medo na wò la ana wò.”
Ngilawe njalo ngizakulinda loba ungaze uye ngaphi, njalo ngizakubuyisa kulelilizwe. Kangizukukudela ngize ngikwenze lokho engikuthembise khona.”
16 Esime Yakob nyɔ tso alɔ̃ me la, egblɔ be, “Vavã, Yehowa le afi sia, gake nyemenya o.”
UJakhobe wathi evuka ebuthongweni bakhe wacabanga wathi, “Ngeqiniso uThixo ukhona kule indawo, kodwa bengingakunanzeleli.”
17 Egblɔ be, “Aleke gbegbe teƒe sia dzi ŋɔe! Teƒe sia menye teƒe bubu aɖeke wu Mawu ƒe aƒe o. Esiae nye dziƒogbo la.”
Wesaba wathi, “Yeka ukwesabeka kwale indawo ehloniphekayo! Ngempela iyindlu kaNkulunkulu; leli lisango lasezulwini.”
18 Yakob fɔ ŋdi kanya, ɖi kpe si wòziɔ la abe ŋkuɖodzikpe ene, eye wòkɔ ami ɖe edzi.
Kusisa ekuseni kakhulu uJakhobe walithatha ilitshe ayelele eliqamele walimisa laba yinsika wathela amafutha phezu kwalo.
19 Ena ŋkɔ teƒea be Betel si gɔmee nye “Mawu ƒe Aƒe.” Tsã la, woyɔ du si te ɖe afi ma ŋu la be Luz.
Indawo leyo wayibiza wathi yiBhetheli, ikanti idolobho lakhona lalithiwa yiLuzi.
20 Yakob ɖe adzɔgbe na Mawu be, “Ne Mawu ave nunye, akpɔ tanye le nye mɔzɔzɔ sia me, ana nuɖuɖu kple nutatam,
Ngakho uJakhobe wenza isifungo wathi, “Nxa uNkulunkulu ezakuba lami angilondoloze kuloluhambo engikulo, angiphe ukudla lezigqoko,
21 eye wòakplɔm magbɔ ava fofonye gbɔ dedie la, ekema matia Yehowa abe nye Mawu ene!
ngibuyele emzini kababa ngiphilile, lapho uThixo uzakuba nguNkulunkulu wami
22 Ŋkuɖodzikpe sia azu mawusubɔƒe, eye matsɔ nu sia nu si nànam la ƒe ewolia ana wò!”
njalo lelitshe leli engilenze insika lizakuba yindlu kaNkulunkulu, njalo kuzakuthi konke onginika khona ngizakunika wena okwetshumi.”
