URasheli wathi ebona ukuthi wayengazaleli uJakhobe abantwana, wasekhwelezela udadewabo. Wasesithi kuJakhobe, “Ngipha abantwana, kumbe ngife!”
2 Yakob do dɔmedzoe, eye wòbiae be, “Alo nyee nye Mawu, ame si na nètsi koa?”
UJakhobe wamzondela wathi, “Sengisesikhundleni sikaNkulunkulu yini mina, onguye okuvale ukuthi ungazali?”
3 Rahel gblɔ nɛ be, “Metsɔ nye subɔla Bilha na wò, dɔ egbɔ ne wòadzi vi, eye viawo nazu vinyewo.”
Yena wasesithi, “Nangu uBhiliha incekukazi yami. Lala laye ukuze angizalele abantwana, ukuze kuthi ngaye ngibe lemuli.”
4 Ale wòtsɔ Bilha nɛ wòzu srɔ̃a, eye wòdɔ egbɔ;
Ngakho wasemupha incekukazi yakhe uBhiliha njengomfazi. UJakhobe wembatha laye,

wazithwala wamzalela indodana.
6 Rahel na ŋkɔe be Dan si gɔmee nye “Afiatsotso,” elabena egblɔ be, “Mawu tso afia nam, ese nye gbedodoɖa, eye wòna ŋutsuvim.”
Ngakho uRasheli wathi, “UNkulunkulu usengigezile; ulalele ukuncenga kwami wasenginika indodana.” Ngenxa yalokhu wayitha wathi nguDani.
7 Bilha, Rahel ƒe subɔla gafɔ fu, eye wòdzi ŋutsuvi evelia na Yakob.
Incekukazi kaRasheli, uBhiliha, yathatha isisu njalo yazalela uJakhobe indodana yesibili.
8 Rahel na ŋkɔe be Naftali si gɔmee nye “Hoʋiʋli,” elabena egblɔ be, “Mele ho ʋlim sesĩe kple nɔvinye, eye mele dzi ɖum!”
URasheli wasesithi, “Kade kuyimpi phakathi kwami lodadewethu, mina senginqobile.” Wasemuthi nguNafithali.
9 Azɔ esi Lea kpɔ be yemegale fu fɔm o la, etsɔ eƒe subɔla Zilpa na Yakob wòɖe.
ULeya wathi ngokubona ukuthi kasazali wathatha incekukazi yakhe uZilipha wayipha uJakhobe njengomfazi.
10 Le ɣeyiɣi kpui aɖe megbe la, Lea ƒe kosi Zilpa dzi ŋutsuvi na Yakob.
Incekukazi kaLeya uZilipha yazalela uJakhobe indodana.
11 Lea na ŋkɔe be Gad si gɔmee nye “Dzɔgbenyui ɖi kpem!”
ULeya wasesithi, “Inhlanhla engakanani!” Wamutha ibizo wathi nguGadi.
12 Zilpa dzi ŋutsuvi evelia na Yakob, eye Lea na ŋkɔe be Aser si gɔmee nye “Dzidzɔ”,

13 elabena egblɔ be, “Dzi dzɔm ale gbegbe! Nyɔnu bubuwo abu be woyram vavã!”
ULeya wathi, “Uthi ngiyathaba yini! Abafazi bazakuthi ngiyathaba.” Yikho wambiza ngokuthi ngu-Asheri.
14 Gbe ɖeka le lũŋeɣi la, Ruben gbe agbitsa aɖewo tso gbe me vɛ na dadaa Lea. Rahel ɖe kuku na Lea be wòana agbitsa la ƒe ɖe ye.
Ngesikhathi sokuvuna ingqoloyi uRubheni waya emasimini wafumana izihlahlakazana zamamandraki waziletha kunina uLeya. URasheli wathi kuLeya, “Ngicela ezinye zezihlahlakazana zendodana yakho.”
15 Ke Lea ɖo eŋu nɛ kple dɔmedzoe be, “Èxɔ srɔ̃nye le asinye sesẽtɔe! Ɖe esia mesɔ gbɔ na wò oa? Azɔ ɖe nèdi be yeagaxɔ vinye ƒe agbitsa hã?” Rahel gblɔ nublanuitɔe be, “Ne àna agbitsa la ƒe ɖem la, mana mɔ srɔ̃nye wòadɔ gbɔwò ɖe agbitsa la nu.”
Kodwa wathi kuye, “Kakukwanelisanga na ukuthi wangemuka indoda? Usufuna ukuthatha lamamandraki endodana yami njalo?” URasheli wathi, “Kulungile, angazalala ngakwakho lamuhla ukuze ngizuze amamandraki endodana yakho.”
16 Gbe ma gbe fiẽ, esi Yakob tso gbedzi gbɔna la, Lea yi ɖakpee, gblɔ nɛ be, “Egbe la, nye gbɔe nàdɔ, elabena metsɔ agbitsa siwo vinye gbe vɛ la na Rahel ɖe tawò!” Ale Yakob dɔ Lea gbɔ.

17 Mawu se Lea ƒe gbedodoɖa, eye wòfɔ fu dzi ŋutsuvi atɔ̃lia nɛ.
UNkulunkulu wamlalela uLeya, wathatha isisu wazalela uJakhobe indodana yesihlanu.
18 Lea na ŋkɔe be Isaka si gɔmee nye “Fetu,” elabena egblɔ be, “Mawu tu fe nam, elabena metsɔ nye kosivi na srɔ̃nye wòɖe.”
ULeya wathi, “UNkulunkulu usengiphe umvuzo ngenxa yokuthi nganika indoda yami incekukazi yami.” Ngakho wamutha wathi ngu-Isakhari.
19 Egafɔ fu, eye wòdzi ŋutsuvi adelia na Yakob.

20 Ena ŋkɔe be Zebulon si gɔmee nye “Nunana,” elabena egblɔ be, “Mawu tsɔ nu nyuiwo to dzinye na srɔ̃nye. Azɔ la, srɔ̃nye abum, elabena medzi ŋutsuvi ade nɛ.”
Ngakho uLeya wathi, “UNkulunkulu usengiphe isipho esiligugu. Khathesi umkami usezangiphatha ngenhlonipho, ngoba sengimzalele amadodana ayisithupha.” Wasemutha wathi nguZebhuluni.
21 Emegbe la, edzi nyɔnuvi, eye wòna ŋkɔe be Dina.
Emva kwesikhathi esithile wazala intombazana wayithi nguDina.
22 Tete Mawu ɖo ŋku Rahel dzi le eƒe xaxa me, eye wòse eƒe gbedodoɖa heʋu eƒe vidzidɔ nu.
UNkulunkulu wamkhumbula uRasheli; wezwa ukukhala kwakhe wavula isibeletho sakhe.
23 Efɔ fu, dzi ŋutsuvi, eye wògblɔ be, “Mawu ɖe nye ŋukpe ɖa.”

24 Ena ŋkɔ ɖevi la be Yosef, eye wògblɔ be, “Yehowa natsɔ ŋutsuvi bubu akpee nam.”
Wamutha wathi nguJosefa, wathi, “Sengathi uThixo angangipha enye indodana.”
25 Esi Rahel dzi Yosef vɔ megbe teti ko la, Yakob gblɔ na Laban be, “Medi be matrɔ ayi aƒe.
URasheli esezele uJosefa uJakhobe wathi kuLabhani, “Ngivumela ukuthi ngibuyele elizweni lakithi.
26 Na makplɔ srɔ̃nyewo kple vinyewo ɖe asi, elabena wò ŋutɔ ènya ale si mesubɔ wò ɖe wo tae.”
Ngipha omkami labantwana engibasebenzeleyo kuwe, ngihle ngihambe. Uyawazi umsebenzi engiwusebenzileyo kuwe lapha.”
27 Laban gblɔ nɛ be, “Meɖe kuku, mègadzo le gbɔnye o, elabena to nukaka me la, menya be wò afi sia nɔnɔe na mekpɔ yayra geɖe siawo.
Kodwa uLabhani wathi kuye, “Nxa ungithanda, hlala. Sengibonile ngokwambulelwa ukuthi uThixo ungibusisile ngenxa yakho.”
28 Ho neni mada ɖe fetu dzi na wò be nàganɔ gbɔnye? Ho sia ho si wòanye la, maxee na wò.”
Wengeza ngokuthi, “Qamba loba yiphi inhlawulo oyifunayo, ngizakupha.”
29 Yakob ɖo eŋu be, “Ènya ale si mesubɔ wò anukwaretɔe le ƒe geɖe siawo me kple ale si wò lãwo dzii,
UJakhobe wathi kuye, “Uyakwazi ukuthi ngikusebenzele njani lokuthi izifuyo zakho zigcinakale njani ziphethwe yimi.
30 elabena nu sue aɖe koe nɔ asiwò hafi meva gbɔwò. Fifia wò kesinɔnuwo dzi ɖe edzi ŋutɔ. Yehowa yra wò to nu sia nu si mewɔ la me! Ke ɣe ka ɣi nye ya manɔ ɖokuinye si awɔ dɔ na srɔ̃nyewo kple vinyewo?”
Okuncinyane owawulakho ngingakafiki sekusele kwanda kakhulu, njalo uThixo ukubusisile langabe kungaphi lapho engike ngaba khona. Kodwa manje ngizaze ngiwenzele nini mina umuzi wami ulutho?”
31 Laban gabiae be, “Nu ka mana wò?” Yakob ɖo eŋu nɛ be, “Mègana nanekem o. Ke ne àwɔ nu ɖeka sia nam la, mayi wò lãwo dzi kpɔkpɔ dzi.
Wabuza wathi, “Ngikupheni na?” Waphendula uJakhobe wathi, “Ungangiphi lutho. Kodwa ake ungenzele lokhu kodwa, ukuze ngiqhubeke ngisondla imihlambi yakho:
32 Na matsa le wò lãhawo katã me egbe, eye maɖe alẽ siwo katã le ŋɔtaŋɔta la kple alẽvi ɖe sia ɖe si le yibɔ kple gbɔ̃ siwo le ŋɔtaŋɔta la. Woawoe anye nye fetu.
Wothi ngingene emihlambini yakho lamuhla ngikhuphe kuyo zonke izimvu ezilamachatha kumbe amabala, lamazinyane wonke amnyama lembuzi zonke ezilamabala kumbe amachatha. Yizo ezizakuba yinhlawulo yami.
33 Ekema ɣe sia ɣi si nàkpɔ gbɔ̃ ɣi alo alẽ ɣi aɖe le tɔnyewo dome la, nànya be ɖe mefi wo tso tɔwòwo dome!”
Ngesikhathi esizayo ubuqotho bami buzavela nxa uhlola inhlawulo onginike yona. Ingqe yiphi imbuzi engizabe ngilayo engelamachatha kumbe amabala, loba lizinyane lemvu elingamnyama lizakubalwa njengelebiweyo.”
34 Laban lɔ̃ ɖe edzi be, “Enyo; míawɔe abe ale si nègblɔe ene!”
ULabhani wathi, “Kulungile, kakube njengokutsho kwakho.”
35 Gbe ma gbe ke la, eɖe gbɔ̃tsu siwo katã ŋu fli le alo le ŋɔtaŋɔta kple gbɔ̃nɔ siwo katã ŋu fli le, esiwo katã le ɣie kple alẽvi siwo katã le yibɔ la ɖe aga, eye wòtsɔ wo de via ŋutsuwo ƒe dzikpɔkpɔ te.
Mhlalokho wazikhupha zonke impongo ezazingamaqamule kumbe ezilamabala, njalo lezinsikazi ezilamachatha kumbe ezilamabala (zonke ezazilokumhlophe kuzo) lamazinyane ezimvu wonke amnyama zonke wathi zikhangelwe ngamadodana akhe.
36 Ena eya ŋutɔ kple Yakob dome didi abe ŋkeke etɔ̃ ƒe azɔlizɔzɔ ene, eye Yakob yi Laban ƒe lãwo dzi kpɔkpɔ dzi.
Wasebeka umango wensuku ezintathu phakathi kwakhe loJakhobe, kodwa uJakhobe wayelokhu esondla yonke imihlambi eseleyo kaLabhani.
37 Yakob lã atilɔ fɛ̃ aɖewo, kpa tsro le akpa aɖewo ŋu, ale be wozu ŋɔtaŋɔta, eye fli to ɖewo me.
Kwathi uJakhobe wagamula ingatsha zesihlahla sephopla, eze-alimondi lezepulane wahamba ezixoza amaxolo wenza imidwa kwavela kuzo isigodo esimhlophe.
38 Etsɔ wo da ɖe lãwo ƒe tsinoƒe, ale be lãwo nakpɔ wo ne wova tsinoƒe, afi si lãtsuwo yɔa asi lãnɔwo le la.
Ingatsha lezi ezixoziweyo wazibeka kuyo yonke imikolo yokunathela imihlambi ukuthi zime ziqondane lezifuyo nxa zinatha. Kwakusithi lezozifuyo ezidabuleyo zizonatha
39 Lãtsuawo yɔa asi le atilɔawo gbɔ, eye lãnɔawo dzia vi siwo le ŋɔtaŋɔta alo esiwo ŋu fli le la.
zifike zixakane phambi kwezingatsha. Zazizala amazinyane alamabala ayimidwa loba alamachatha kumbe amabala nje.
40 Eye Yakob ɖe lãviawo ɖa le tsitsiawo ŋu, ke ena bubuawo dze ŋgɔ lã siwo le ŋɔtaŋɔta kple esiwo le yibɔɔ henye Laban tɔ. Ewɔ lãha aɖe na eɖokui, eye mena wotɔtɔ kple Laban ƒe lãwo o.
UJakhobe wawakhetha wawabeka wodwa amazinyane, kodwa lezo ezinye waziyekela zadunga lezo ezingamaqamule lezimnyama ezazingezikaLabhani. Ngaleyondlela, wenza imihlambi ehlukeneyo eyakhe kaze ayihlanganisa lekaLabhani.
41 Kpe ɖe esia ŋu la, ne ekpɔ be lã sesẽwo le asi yɔm la, etsɔa atilɔ siwo wòŋlɔ la dana ɖe tsinoƒea be woafɔ fu ɖe ati ŋɔŋlɔawo ŋu.
Kwakusithi kungadabula ezinsikazi eziqinileyo, uJakhobe wayefaka imiqwayi emikolweni phambi kwezifuyo ukuze zixakane eduze kwayo,
42 Ke ne lã beliwo le asi yɔm la, eɖea ati ŋɔŋlɔawo ɖa. Ale alẽ siwo ƒe lãme mesẽ tututu o la zua Laban tɔ, eye esiwo le lãmesẽ me la zua Yakob tɔ!
kodwa nxa ezinsikazi zingezibuthakathaka wayengayifaki imiqwayi. Ngakho izifuyo ezibuthakathaka zaba ngezikaLabhani, eziqinileyo zabuya ngoJakhobe.
43 Esia ta Yakob ƒe alẽwo dzi ɖe edzi kabakaba, eye wòzu hotsuitɔ gã aɖe. Subɔlawo, kposɔwo kple tedziwo sɔ gbɔ ɖe esi fũu.
Ngale indlela indoda le yanotha kakhulu yaba lemihlambi emikhulu, lezincekukazi, lezinceku kanye lamakamela labobabhemi.
