1 Yakob va nya be Laban ƒe viwo nɔ liʋĩliʋĩ lĩm be, “Nu sia nu si le esi la do tso mía fofo ƒe nuwo me. Eƒe kesinɔnuwo katã tso mía fofo gbɔ.”
UJakhobe wezwa ukuthi amadodana kaLabhani ayesithi, “UJakhobe usethethe konke ubaba ayelakho njalo usezuze yonke inotho ebingekababa.”
2 Yakob de dzesii be Laban megakɔa ŋkume ɖe ye o.
Njalo uJakhobe wananzelela ukuthi uLabhani wayengasamphathi njengakuqala.
3 Yehowa ƒo nu na Yakob gblɔ be, “Trɔ nàyi fofowò ƒe anyigba dzi, nànɔ wò ƒometɔwo dome le afi ma, eye manɔ kpli wò.”
UThixo wasesithi kuJakhobe, “Buyela elizweni laboyihlo lasezihlotsheni zakho, mina ngizakuba lawe.”
4 Eya ta gbe ɖeka Yakob ɖo du ɖe Rahel kple Lea be woava kpɔ ye le alẽhawo gbɔ le gbedzi,
Ngakho uJakhobe wasethumela ilizwi kuRasheli loLeya ukuthi beze egangeni lapho imihlambi yakhe eyayikhona.
5 ale be yewoalé nya aɖewo kpɔ. Yakob gblɔ na wo be, “Mia fofo tso ɖe ŋunye, ke fofonyewo ƒe Mawu va ƒo nu nam.
Wathi kubo, “Sengibona ukuthi uyihlo kasangiphathi njengakuqala, kodwa uNkulunkulu kababa ube lami.
6 Mienya ale si mewɔ dɔ sesĩe na mia fofo,
Liyakwazi ukuthi ngamsebenzela uyihlo ngamandla ami wonke,
7 ke mewɔ nu dzɔdzɔe ɖe ŋunye o; eda le ɖoɖo siwo míewɔ ɖe nye fetu ŋu la dzi zi geɖe. Ke Mawu meɖe mɔ nɛ be wòawɔ nuvevi aɖekem o!
kodwa uyihlo ungidlelezele ngokuguqula umholo wami okwezikhathi ezilitshumi. Kodwa uNkulunkulu kamvumelanga ukuthi angilimaze.
8 Elabena ne egblɔ be lã ŋɔtaŋɔtawo nanye tɔnye la, ekema lã siwo wodzi la nɔa ŋɔtaŋɔta. Esi wòtrɔ ɖoɖo la hegblɔ be lã siwo me fli to nazu tɔnyewo la, fli nɔa lãawo katã ŋuti.
Kwakusithi angathi, ‘Ezilamabalabala ngezakho, ezomholo,’ imihlambi yonke izale ezimabalabala; kuthi angathi, ‘Ezingamaqamule zizakuba ngumholo wakho,’ yonke imihlambi izale amazinyane angamaqamule.
9 Ale Mawu na mezu hotsuitɔ to mia fofo ƒe lãha si wòxɔ tsɔ nam ta.
Ngaleyondlela uNkulunkulu usethethe imihlambi kayihlo wayipha mina.
10 “Le lãawo ƒe asiyɔɣi la, meku drɔ̃e, eye mekpɔ be gbɔ̃tsu siwo katã nɔ asi yɔm la nye lã siwo me fli to kple esiwo nɔ ŋɔtaŋɔta la.
Ngesikhathi sokuxotshwa lokumitha kwemihlambi, ngaba lephupho lapho okwathi ngikhangela ngabona ukuthi impongo ezazixotsha umhlambi zazingamaqamule, kumbe zingamafahlafahla kumbe zilamabala.
11 Mawudɔla aɖe yɔm le drɔ̃ea me be, ‘Yakob,’ eye metɔ be, ‘Nyee nye esi.’
Ingilosi kaNkulunkulu yathi kimi kulelophupho, ‘Jakhobe.’ Ngasabela ngathi, ‘Ngilapha.’
12 Eye wògblɔ nam be mana gbɔ̃tsu siwo me fli le kple esiwo le ŋɔtaŋɔta la nayɔ asi gbɔ̃nɔ ɣiawo.” Egblɔ be, “Elabena mekpɔ nu siwo katã Laban wɔ ɖe ŋuwò la.
Yathi, ‘Khangela ukuthi zonke impongo ezixotsha umhlambi ngezingamaqamule, ngezingamafahlafahla kumbe ngezilamabala, ngoba ngikubonile konke lokho uLabhani abekwenza kuwe.
13 Nyee nye Mawu si ɖe ɖokuinye fia wò le Betel, afi si nèkɔ ami ɖe kpe dzi le, eye nèɖe adzɔgbe be yeasubɔm. Azɔ la, ele na wò be nàdzo le afi sia, eye nàyi afi si wodzi wò ɖo la.”
NginguNkulunkulu waseBhetheli, lapho owagcoba khona insika njalo lapho owenza khona isifungo kimi. Suka kulelilizwe khona manje ubuyele elizweni lakini.’”
14 Rahel kple Lea ɖo eŋu be, “Nu sia nyo na mí! Naneke mele afi sia na mí o; mía fofo ƒe kesinɔnuwo dometɔ aɖeke mazu domenyinu na mí o!
URasheli loLeya baphendula bathi, “Sivele siseselesabelo selifa likababa na?
15 Ele nuwo wɔm ɖe mía ŋu abe amedzrowo míenye ene. Etsɔ mí dzra, eye nu si wòxɔ ɖe mía ta hã megali o.
Kasinjengabezizweni kuye na? Kakusikho kodwa ukuthi walobolisa ngathi, kodwa sowakusebenzisa konke esalotsholwa ngakho.
16 Le sea nu la, kesinɔnu siwo Mawu tsɔ na wò to mía fofo dzi la nye mí kple mía viwo tɔ, eya ta wɔ nu sia nu si Mawu be nàwɔ la.”
Ngempela yonke inotho uNkulunkulu ayemuka ubaba ngeyethu labantwabethu. Ngakho yenza loba yini uNkulunkulu akutshele yona.”
17 Yakob kɔ viawo kple srɔ̃awo ɖo kposɔwo dzi, eye wodzo.
UJakhobe wasegadisa abantwabakhe labomkakhe emakameleni,
18 Ke ena wokplɔ eƒe lãhawo do ŋgɔe kpe ɖe nunɔamesi siwo katã wòkpɔ le Padan Aram la ŋuti ɖo ɖe fofoa Isak le Kanaanyigba dzi.
waziqhuba zonke izifuyo zakhe zahamba phambili, kanye lempahla zonke ayezizuzile ePhadani Aramu, esebuyela kuyise u-Isaka elizweni laseKhenani.
19 Esi Laban yi ɖe fu ko ge na eƒe alẽwo la, Rahel fi fofoa ƒe aklamakpakpɛwo tsɔ dzoe.
Kwathi uLabhani ehambile eyogunda izimvu zakhe, uRasheli weba izithombe zikayise.
20 Gawu la, Yakob flu Laban, Arameatɔ la, eye meklãe hafi dzo o.
Phezu kwalokho uJakhobe wakhohlisa uLabhani umʼAramu ngokungamtsheli ukuthi yena wayesebaleka.
21 Ale wòsi kple eƒe nunɔamesiwo katã. Esi wòtso Frat tɔsisi la, eɖo ta Gilead ƒe tonyigbawo dzi.
Ngakho wabaleka lakho konke okwakungokwakhe, wachapha umfula iYufrathe, waqonda elizweni lamaqaqa eleGiliyadi.
22 Ŋkeke etɔ̃ va yi hafi Laban nya nu tso Yakob ƒe sisi ŋu.
Ngosuku lwesithathu uLabhani watshelwa ukuthi uJakhobe wayesebalekile.
23 Ekplɔ ame aɖewo ɖe asi, eye wodze eyome kple du heva tui le ŋkeke adre megbe le Gilead to la gbɔ.
Wathatha izihlobo zakhe bangena emzileni kaJakhobe okwensuku eziyisikhombisa baze bayambamba elizweni lamaqaqa eleGiliyadi.
24 Gbe ma gbe la, Mawu ɖe eɖokui fia Laban Arameatɔ le drɔ̃e me, eye wògblɔ nɛ be, “Kpɔ nyuie le nu si nàgblɔ na Yakob la ŋuti. Mègayrae o, eye mègaƒo fi dee hã o.”
UNkulunkulu weza kuLabhani umʼAramu ephutsheni ebusuku wathi kuye, “Unanzelele ukuthi ungaze watsho lutho kuJakhobe, loba lungoluhle kumbe olubi.”
25 Laban va tu Yakob esime Yakob tu agbadɔ ɖe Gilead to la dzi. Laban hã tu eƒe agbadɔ ɖe to la te.
UJakhobe wayemise ithente lakhe elizweni lamaqaqa eGiliyadi eficwa khona nguLabhani, uLabhani laye lezihlobo zakhe bakha izihonqo khonapho.
26 Laban bia Yakob be, “Nu kae nye esi nèwɔ hesi dzo le adzame ale? Ɖe vinyenyɔnuwo nye aboyome siwo wolé le aʋa me, eya ta nèkplɔ wo si dzoe alea?
Ngakho uLabhani wasesithi kuJakhobe, “Wenzeni manje? Ungikhohlisile, njalo uthumbe amadodakazi ami njengabathunjiweyo empini.
27 Nu ka ta mèna mɔnukpɔkpɔm be maɖo kplɔ̃ na mi, eye hadzidzi, ʋuƒoƒo kple kasaŋkuƒoƒo nanɔ anyi o ɖo?
Kungani ubalekele ngasese wangikhohlisa na? Kungani ungangazisanga ukuze ngikuvalelise ngentokozo langokutshaya izigubhu lamachacho?
28 Nu ka ta mèna megbugbɔ nu na nye tɔgbuiyɔviwo hedo hedenyui na wo o ɖo? Nu sia nye nu trama aɖe si nèwɔ.
Kawuzange ume ukuthi ngange abazukulu bami lamadodakazi ami ngibavalelise. Wenze into eyibuthutha.
29 Mate ŋu awɔ nuvevi wò hafi, gake fofowò ƒe Mawu la ɖe eɖokui fiam le zã si va yi la me, eye wògblɔ nam be, ‘Kpɔ nyuie be màklẽ ŋku ade Yakob o.’
Ngilamandla okukulimaza; kodwa ngobusuku obudluleyo uNkulunkulu kayihlo uthe kimi, ‘Unanzelele ungaze watsho lutho kuJakhobe, loba ngoluhle kumbe ngolubi.’
30 Ke esi nèkpɔ be ele be yeadzo, eye aƒe nɔ dzrowòm vevie nenema ɖe, nu ka ta nèfi nye aklamakpakpɛwo dzoe ɖo?”
Manje ususukile ngoba ubulangazelela ukubuyela emzini kayihlo. Kodwa kungani webe izithombe zami na?”
31 Yakob ɖo eŋu na Laban be, “Mesi dzo, elabena menɔ vɔvɔ̃m. Megblɔ na ɖokuinye be, ‘Àva xɔ viwò nyɔnuwo le asinye sesẽtɔe.’
UJakhobe wamphendula uLabhani wathi, “Bengisesaba ukuthi uzangemuka amadodakazi akho ngamandla.
32 Ke le wò aklamakpakpɛwo gome la, woaƒo fi ade ame si fi wo la, eye wòaku! Ka nye nuwo katã me le mía nɔviawo ƒe ŋkume kpɔ be wò nane le wo me mahã. Ne èkpɔ wò nane si mefi dzoe la, ekema tsɔe.” Ke Yakob menya be Rahel fi aklamakpakpɛawo o.
Kodwa nxa ufumana loba ngubani olezithombe zakho, kayikuphila. Ake ubone, lezihlobo zakho zikhona, ingabe kulolutho lwakho yini lapha kimi; nxa lukhona, luthathe.” UJakhobe wayengazi ukuthi uRasheli wayezebile izithombe.
33 Laban yi ɖaka Yakob ƒe agbadɔ me gbã; emegbe eyi ɖaka Lea kple kosi eveawo ƒe agbadɔ me, gake mekpɔ aklamakpakpɛawo o. Esia megbe la, eyi ɖaka Rahel tɔ me azɔ.
Ngakho uLabhani wangena ethenteni likaJakhobe lethenteni likaLeya lethenteni lezincekukazi zombili, kodwa kafumananga lutho. Ephuma ethenteni likaLeya, wangena ethenteni likaRasheli.
34 Rahel nye ame si fi aklamakpakpɛawo. Etsɔ wo ɣla ɖe eƒe kposɔ ƒe akpa te, eye wònɔ anyi ɖe wo dzi. Togbɔ be Laban ka agbadɔawo me abe ale si wòate ŋui ene hã la, mete ŋu kpɔ aklamakpakpɛawo o.
URasheli wayethethe izithombe lezo, wazifihla phakathi kwesihlalo sekamela lakhe, wasehlala phezu kwazo. ULabhani wabhudula kukho konke okwakusethenteni, katholanga lutho.
35 Rahel gblɔ na fofoa be, “Papa, tsɔe kem be nyemate ŋu atsi tsitre o, elabena mekpɔ dzinu.”
URasheli wathi kuyise, “Ungazondi nkosi yami ukuthi kungani ngingakusukumeli, kungenxa yokuba ngisesikhathini.” Ngakho wabhudula, kodwa akaze azifumana izithombe zangekhaya.
36 Yakob do dɔmedzoe ɖe Laban ŋu, eye wòbiae be, “Nu vɔ̃ ka mewɔ? Vo ka meda si ta nànɔ fu ɖem nam ale?
UJakhobe wazonda kubi wamthwalisa nzima uLabhani. Wambuza wathi, “Icala lami ngelani? Ngenze sono bani ukuze ungizingele kanje?
37 Azɔ esi nèka nye nuwo katã me ɖe, nu ka nèkpɔ si nye tɔwò? Tsɔe da ɖe wò ƒometɔwo kple tɔnyewo ŋkume, eye nàna woadrɔ̃ ʋɔnu le nye kpli wò dome.
Njengoba usuziguduzile zonke impahla zami, kuyini osukufumene okungokomuzi wakho na? Kubeke khonapha phambi kwezihlobo zakho lezami batsho okuyikho phakathi kwethu sobabili.
38 “Menɔ gbɔwò ƒe blaeve sɔŋ. Le ɣeyiɣi ma katã me la, mekpɔ wò alẽnɔwo kple gbɔ̃nɔwo dzi, ale be wodzi vi lãmesesẽtɔwo na wò, eye nyemewu wò agbo ɖeka pɛ gɔ̃ hã ɖa ɖu o.
Sengibe lawe okweminyaka engamatshumi amabili. Izimvu zakho lembuzi zakho kazizange ziphunze, njalo kangizange ngizihlabele inqama emihlambini yakho.
39 Ne lã wɔadãwo wu ɖewo la, ɖe metsɔa wo fiaa wò be nàɖe wo tso wò lãwo domea? Ao, meɖoa eteƒe na wò. Èna mexe fe ɖe wò lã ɖe sia ɖe si wofi tso wò lãhawo me la ta, eɖanye nye vodada, alo menye nye vodada o!
Kangizange ngizokutshengisa izifuyo ezidatshulwe yizilo; yimi engathwala lokho kulahlekelwa ngazihlawula. Njalo wafuna inhlawulo yalezo ezazebiwe emini loba ebusuku.
40 “Mewɔ dɔ na wò, ŋdɔkutsu ɖum le ŋkeke me, eye vuvɔ wɔm le zã me, eye nyemedɔa alɔ̃ o.
Impilo yami yayinje: ukutshisa kwakungibhaxabula emini, ebusuku umqando ungihaqaze, ubuthongo babaleka emehlweni ami.
41 Ɛ̃, mewɔ dɔ na wò ƒe blaeve sɔŋ: ƒe wuiene be mate ŋu aɖe viwò nyɔnu eve, ƒe ade be lãha sia naka asinye! Gawu la, èɖe nye fetu dzi zi ewo.
Kwakunjalo okweminyaka engamatshumi amabili ngisemzini wakho. Ngakusebenzela okweminyaka elitshumi lane ngisebenzela amadodakazi akho womabili njalo okweminyaka eyisithupha ngisebenzela imihlambi yakho, njalo wena waguqula inhlawulo yami okwezikhathi ezilitshumi.
42 Nyateƒe, ne menye tɔgbuinye Abraham ƒe Mawu kple fofonye Isak ƒe Mawu ƒe amenuveve tae o la, anye ne èdo mɔm asi ƒuƒlu, pesewa ɖeka pɛ gɔ̃ hã manɔ asinye o! Ke Mawu kpɔ wò ŋutasesẽ kple nye nuteƒewɔwɔ, eya ta wòɖe eɖokui fia wò le zã si va yi me.”
Aluba uNkulunkulu kababa, uNkulunkulu ka-Abhrahama langokwesaba kuka-Isaka, ubengelami, ubuzangixotsha nje ngingaphathanga lutho. Kodwa uNkulunkulu ububonile ubunzima bami lokusebenza nzima kwezandla zami, yikho ekukhuzile izolo ebusuku.”
43 Laban ɖo eŋu na Yakob be, “Vinyewoe nye nyɔnu siawo; ɖevi siawo hã tɔnyewoe. Lãha siawo kple nu siwo katã le asiwò la, tɔnyee wonye, eya ta nu ka ta mawɔ nuvevi nye ŋutɔ vinyewo kple nye tɔgbuiyɔviwo ɖo?
ULabhani wamphendula uJakhobe wathi, “Abesifazane ngamadodakazi ami, abantwana ngabantwabami, lemihlambi yimihlambi yami. Kodwa kuyini engingakwenza lamuhla ngala amadodakazi ami, kumbe ngabantwana ababazeleyo na?
44 Na míabla ŋutifafanu kple mía nɔewo, eye mía dometɔ ɖe sia ɖe nazɔ ɖe nubabla sia ƒe ɖoɖowo dzi.”
Zwana-ke, kasenze isivumelwano, wena lami, sibe ngufakazi phakathi kwethu.”
45 Ale Yakob ɖi kpe aɖe abe ŋkuɖodzikpe ene,
Ngakho uJakhobe wasethatha ilitshe walimisa laba yinsika.
46 eye wògblɔ na eƒe amewo be woafɔ kpewo ali kɔ ɖe kpe la dzi. Emegbe Yakob kple Laban ɖu nu ɖekae le kpeawo gbɔ.
Wasesithi ezihlotsheni zakhe, “Buthelelani amatshe.” Bawathatha amatshe aba yinqwaba, basebedlela khonapho eceleni kwenqwaba.
47 Laban yɔe be Yegar Sahaduta, eye Yakob yɔe be Galed.
ULabhani wayibiza ngokuthi yiJegari Sahadutha, uJakhobe yena wathi yiGaledi.
48 Laban gblɔ be, “Kpoƒuƒu sia nye ɖasefo le nye kpli wò dome egbea.” Eya ta woyɔe be Galed.
ULabhani wathi, “Inqwaba le ingufakazi phakathi kwami lawe lamuhla.” Yikho yabizwa ngokuthi yiGaledi.
49 Eya ta woyɔe hã be “Mizpa” si gɔmee nye “Nuŋudzɔla,” elabena Laban gblɔ be, “Aƒetɔ la nakpɔ egbɔ be ne míegale mía nɔewo gbɔ o hã la, míazɔ ɖe nubabla sia dzi.
Yabizwa njalo ngokuthi yiMizipha, ngoba wathi, “Sengathi uThixo angalinda phakathi kwakho lami nxa sikhatshana omunye komunye.
50 Kpe ɖe esia ŋu la, ne èwɔ fu vinyewo alo ègaɖe srɔ̃ bubuwo la, nyemanya o, gake Mawu ya akpɔe.”
Ungaze uphathe kubi amadodakazi ami, loba ungaze uthathe abanye abafazi ngaphandle kwamadodakazi ami, loba kungekho omunye umuntu olathi, khumbula ukuthi uNkulunkulu ungufakazi phakathi kwakho lami.”
51 Laban gblɔ na Yakob be, “Kpekɔ sia le afi sia, eye sɔti sia si metu ɖe nye kpli wò dome la hã le afi sia.
ULabhani wathi njalo kuJakhobe, “Nansi inqwaba le, njalo nansi insika engiyimise phakathi kwakho lami.
52 Kpekɔ sia nye ɖasefo, eye sɔti sia hã nye ɖasefo be nyemava to kpekɔ sia ŋu be mava wò akpa dzi ava wɔ nuvevi aɖeke wò o, eye be wò hã màto kpekɔ kple sɔti sia ŋu ava nye akpa dzi be nàva wɔ nuvevi aɖekem o.
Inqwaba le ingufakazi, kanye lensika le ingufakazi wokuthi kangisoze ngiyidlule inqwaba le ngize kwelakho icele ngizekonela lokuthi lawe kawuyikudlula kule inqwaba lensika uze kwelami icele uzengonela.
53 Meyɔ Abraham kple Nahor kpakple wo fofowo ƒe Mawu la be wòatsrɔ̃ mía dometɔ si mawɔ nubabla sia ƒe ɖoɖowo dzi o la.” Ale Yakob ka atam le fofoa Isak ƒe Mawu, Ŋusẽkatãtɔ la ŋkume be yealé ŋku ɖe liƒo la ŋu.
Sengathi uNkulunkulu ka-Abhrahama, loNkulunkulu kaNahori, uNkulunkulu kayise wabo angahlulela phakathi kwethu.” Ngakho uJakhobe wenza isifungo ebizweni likaMesatshwa kayise u-Isaka.
54 Tete Yakob sa vɔ na Mawu le to la tame, eye wòɖo kplɔ̃ na eƒe amewo. Etsi wo gbɔ dɔ le to la dzi.
Wenza umhlatshelo khonapho elizweni lamaqaqa wanxusa izihlobo zakhe ekudleni. Sebedlile, balala khonapho.
55 Laban fɔ ŋdi kanya, gbugbɔ nu na viawo kple eƒe tɔgbuiyɔviawo, yra wo, eye wòtrɔ yi wo de.
Ekuseni kakhulu ngosuku olulandelayo uLabhani wanga abazukulu bakhe lamadodakazi akhe wababusisa. Wasefulathela wabuyela ekhaya.
