Kĩambĩrĩria 27
1 Rĩrĩa Isaaka aakũrire na maitho make makĩaga hinya ũndũ atangĩahotire kuona-rĩ, agĩtũmanĩra Esaũ mũriũ wake ũrĩa mũkũrũ, akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Mũrũ wakwa.” Nake Esaũ akĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Niĩ ũyũ haha.”
Kwathi u-Isaka eseluphele, amehlo akhe esethundubele okokuthi wayengasaboni, wabiza u-Esawu indodana yakhe endala wathi kuye, “Ndodana yami.” Waphendula wathi, “Ngilapha.”
2 Isaaka akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Rĩu niĩ ndĩ mũkũrũ na ndiũĩ mũthenya ũrĩa ingĩkua.
U-Isaka wathi, “Manje sengilixhegu, njalo kangilazi ilanga lami lokufa.
3 Rĩu-rĩ, oya indo ciaku cia ũguĩmi; ũta na mĩguĩ yaku, na uumagare ũthiĩ werũ-inĩ ũkanguĩmĩre nyamũ cia gĩthaka.
Thatha izikhali zakho, isikhwama semitshoko yakho ledandili lakho ungene iganga uyengizingelela inyamazana.
4 Thondekera irio njega iria nyendete na ũndehere ndĩe, nĩgeetha ngũrathime na kĩrathimo gĩakwa itanakua.”
Ungilungisele ukudla okumnandi engikuthandayo ukulethe kimi lapha ngidle, ukuze ngikuphe isibusiso sami ngingakafi.”
5 Na rĩrĩ, Rebeka agĩkorwo nĩathikĩrĩirie Isaaka akĩhe mũriũ Esaũ ũhoro ũcio. Na rĩrĩa Esaũ aathiire werũ-inĩ kũguĩma nyamũ nĩguo amĩinũkie-rĩ,
URabheka wayelalele u-Isaka ekhuluma lendodana yakhe u-Esawu. Kwathi u-Esawu esephumile waya egangeni ukuyazingela inyamazana ukuze ayilethe,
6 Rebeka akĩĩra mũriũ Jakubu atĩrĩ, “Nĩ ndaigua thoguo akĩĩra Esaũ mũrũ wa nyũkwa atĩrĩ,
uRabheka wathi endodaneni yakhe uJakhobe, “Khangela, ngizwe uyihlo esithi kumnewenu u-Esawu
7 ‘Ndehere nyamũ ya kũguĩma na ũthondekere irio njega ndĩe, nĩgeetha ngũrathime na kĩrathimo gĩakwa ndĩ mbere ya Jehova itanakua.’
‘Ngilethela inyamazana ungilungisele ukudla okumnandi ngidle, ukuze ngikuphe isibusiso sami phambi kukaThixo ngingakafi.’
8 Rĩu, wee mũrũ wakwa-rĩ, thikĩrĩria wega na wĩke ũrĩa ngũkwĩra:
Manje-ke lalela kuhle, ndodana yami, wenze lokho engikutshela khona:
9 Thiĩ rũũru-inĩ rwa mbũri ũndehere tũũri twĩrĩ twa mbũri tũrĩa twega biũ, nĩguo thondekere thoguo irio njega, o ta ũrĩa endaga ithondekwo.
Yana emhlambini ulethe lapha kimi amazinyane embuzi amabili anonileyo, ukuze ngilungisele uyihlo ukudla okumnandi ngendlela akuthanda ngayo.
10 Ũcooke ũcioe ũcitwarĩre thoguo arĩe nĩgeetha akũrathime na kĩrathimo gĩake atanakua.”
Wena ubusukusa kuyihlo adle, abesekunika isibusiso sakhe engakafi.”
11 No Jakubu akĩĩra nyina Rebeka atĩrĩ, “Esaũ mũrũ wa maitũ nĩ wa mwĩrĩ ũrĩ guoya, na mwĩrĩ wakwa ndũrĩ guoya.
UJakhobe wathi kuRabheka unina, “Kodwa umnewethu u-Esawu lihwanqa, mina ngilejwabu elitshelelayo.
12 Ĩĩ baba angĩĩhaambata? Ingĩonekana ngĩmũheenia na niĩ ndĩĩreherere kĩrumi handũ ha kĩrathimo.”
Pho ubaba angangibamba ke? Kuzabonakala ukuthi ngiyamqila ngibe sengizehlisele isiqalekiso phezu kwami esikhundleni sesibusiso.”
13 Nyina akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Mũrũ wakwa, reke kĩrumi kĩu kĩnjookerere, wee ĩka o ũrĩa ndĩrakwĩra; thiĩ ũndehere tũũri tũu.”
Unina wathi kuye, “Ndodana yami, lesosiqalekiso kasehlele kimi. Wena yenza lokho engikutshela khona kuphela; hamba uyengithathela wona.”
14 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Jakubu agĩthiĩ, akĩgĩĩra tũũri, na agĩtũrehere nyina, nake agĩthondeka irio njega o ta iria ithe eendete.
Ngakho wahamba wayawathatha wawaletha kunina, yena walungisa ukudla okumnandi, ngaleyondlela eyayithandwa nguyise.
15 Ningĩ Rebeka akĩoya nguo iria ciarĩ njega cia Esaũ mũriũ wake ũrĩa mũkũrũ iria aarĩ nacio nyũmba agĩcihumba Jakubu mũriũ wake ũrĩa mũnini.
URabheka wasethatha izigqoko ezithandekayo zika-Esawu indodana yakhe endala, ezazikhona endlini, wazigqokisa indodana yakhe encane, uJakhobe.
16 Agĩcooka akĩhumbĩra moko make na ngingo kũrĩa gũtaarĩ guoya na njũũa cia tũũri tũu.
Wabuya wamgoqela izandla zakhe lentamo lapho okwakubutshelezi khona ngesikhumba sembuzi.
17 Agĩcooka akĩnengera Jakubu mũriũ wake irio icio ciarĩ njega na mũgate ũrĩa aathondekete.
Waseqhubela indodana yakhe uJakhobe ukudla lokho okumnandi kanye lesinkwa ayesenzile.
18 Nake Jakubu agĩthiĩ kũrĩ ithe, akiuga atĩrĩ, “Baba.” Nake Isaaka agĩcookia atĩrĩ, “Niĩ ũyũ, mũrũ wakwa; wee nĩwe ũ?”
Waya kuyise wafika wathi, “Baba.” Wasabela wathi, “Yebo, ndodana yami. Ngubani?”
19 Jakubu akĩĩra ithe atĩrĩ, “Nĩ niĩ Esaũ mũriũ waku wa irigithathi. Njĩkĩte o ta ũrĩa ũnjĩĩrire. Ndagũthaitha wĩtiire ũrĩe nyama imwe cia ũguĩmi wakwa nĩgeetha ũndathime na kĩrathimo gĩaku.”
UJakhobe wathi kuyise, “Ngingu-Esawu izibulo lakho. Sengenzile njengokungilayela kwakho. Vuka uhlale udle inyama yami yenyamazana ukuze ungiphe isibusiso sakho.”
20 Nake Isaaka akĩũria mũriũ atĩrĩ, “Mũrũ wakwa, kaĩ waciona narua atĩa?” Nake akĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Nĩ tondũ Jehova Ngai waku nĩaheire ũhootani.”
U-Isaka wayibuza indodana yakhe wathi, “Uyizuze njani masinyane kangaka, ndodana yami?” Waphendula wathi, “uThixo uNkulunkulu wakho ungiphumelelisile.”
21 Ningĩ Isaaka akĩĩra Jakubu atĩrĩ, “Ta ũka hakuhĩ mũrũ wakwa, nĩguo ngũhambate menye kana ti-itherũ nĩwe Esaũ mũrũ wakwa kana tiguo.”
U-Isaka wasesithi kuJakhobe, “Sondela eduze ngikuthinte, ndodana yami, ukuze ngazi ngempela ukuthi uyiyo indodana yami u-Esawu noma hatshi.”
22 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Jakubu agĩkuhĩrĩria ithe Isaaka, nake akĩmũhambata, akiuga atĩrĩ, “Mũgambo nĩ wa Jakubu, no moko nĩ ma Esaũ.”
UJakhobe wasondela kuyise u-Isaka wamthinta wathi, “Ilizwi ngelikaJakhobe, kodwa izandla yizandla zika-Esawu.”
23 Na ndaigana kũmũkũũrana tondũ moko make maarĩ na guoya ta ma mũrũ wa nyina Esaũ; nĩ ũndũ ũcio akĩmũrathima.
Kazange amazi ngoba izandla zakhe zaziloboya njengezikamnewabo u-Esawu; ngakho wambusisa.
24 O rĩngĩ akĩmũũria atĩrĩ, “Ti-itherũ nĩwe mũrũ wakwa Esaũ?” Nake agĩcookia atĩrĩ, “Ĩĩ nĩ niĩ.”
Wabuza wathi, “Kambe unguye na u-Esawu indodana yami?” Waphendula wathi, “Nginguye.”
25 Agĩcooka akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Mũrũ wakwa ndehere nyama imwe cia ũguĩmi waku ndĩe nĩgeetha ngũrathime na kĩrathimo gĩakwa.” Jakubu akĩmũrehera nake akĩrĩa, na akĩmũrehera ndibei na akĩnyua.
Wasesithi, “Ndodana yami, ngipha inyama yakho yenyamazana ngidle, ukuze ngikuphe isibusiso sami.” UJakhobe wamupha wadla; waletha lewayini wanatha.
26 Ningĩ ithe Isaaka akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Mũrũ wakwa, ũka haha ũũmumunye”.
Uyise u-Isaka wathi kuye, “Woza lapha, ndodana yami, ungange.”
27 Nake agĩthiĩ harĩ we na akĩmũmumunya. Rĩrĩa Isaaka aiguire kĩheera kĩa nguo ciake, akĩmũrathima, akiuga atĩrĩ, “Hĩ, kĩheera kĩa mũrũ wakwa nĩ ta kĩheera gĩa gĩthaka kĩrĩa kĩrathimĩtwo nĩ Jehova.
Wasesiya kuye wamanga. Kwathi u-Isaka esewuzwile umnuko wezigqoko zakhe, wambusisa wathi, “Yeka, umnuko wendodana yami unjengomnuko wensimu uThixo ayibusisileyo.
28 Ngai arokũhe ime rĩa igũrũ o na ũnoru wa thĩ, na ũingĩ wa ngano na wa ndibei ya mũhihano.
Sengathi uNkulunkulu angakupha amazolo asezulwini lokuvunda komhlabathi, inala yamabele lewayini elitsha.
29 Ndũrĩrĩ irogũtungatagĩra nayo mĩhĩrĩga ya andũ ĩkũinamagĩrĩre. Tuĩka mwathi wa ariũ a thoguo, nao ariũ a nyũkwa marokũinamagĩrĩra. Arĩa mangĩkũruma na kĩrumi marocookererwo nĩkĩo, nao arĩa magaakũrathima marorathimagwo.”
Sengathi izizwe zingakukhonza labantu bakukhothamele. Ube yinkosi phezu kwabafowenu, njalo sengathi amadodana kanyoko angakukhothamela. Sengathi labo abakuqalekisayo labo baqalekiswe labakubusisayo babusiswe.”
30 Na rĩrĩ, Isaaka aarĩkia kũmũrathima na Jakubu aarĩkia kuuma harĩ ithe o ro ũguo-rĩ, mũrũ wa nyina Esaũ agĩũka kuuma kũguĩma.
U-Isaka eseqedile ukumbusisa njalo uJakhobe esathi uyasuka kuyise, umnewabo u-Esawu wabengena evela zingela.
31 O nake agĩthondeka irio njega na agĩcirehere ithe. Agĩcooka akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Baba, wĩtiire ũrĩe nyama imwe cia ũguĩmi wakwa nĩgeetha ũndathime na kĩrathimo gĩaku.”
Laye njalo walungisa ukudla okumnandi wakuletha kuyise. Wasesithi kuye, “Baba, vuka udle inyama yami yenyamazana, ukuze ungiphe isibusiso sakho.”
32 Nake ithe Isaaka akĩmũũria atĩrĩ, “We nĩwe ũ?” Nake akĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Nĩ niĩ Esaũ, mũrũ waku wa irigithathi.”
Uyise u-Isaka wambuza wathi, “Ungubani wena?” Waphendula wathi, “Ngiyindodana yakho, izibulo lakho u-Esawu.”
33 Isaaka agĩkĩinaina mũno akĩũria atĩrĩ, “Nũũ ũcio ũngĩ ũkũguĩmĩte, na andehera nyama? Ndacirĩa o ro rĩu ũtanooka, na ndamũrathima, na ti-itherũ nĩ mũrathime.”
U-Isaka wathuthumela kakhulu wathi, “Kanti ubengubani ozingele inyamazana wayiletha kimi? Ngiyidlile khathesi nje usuzafika, ngambusisa njalo ngempela uzakubusiswa!”
34 Rĩrĩa Esaũ aiguire ciugo cia ithe, agĩtumũka na kĩrĩro kĩnene na kĩa ruo, akĩĩra ithe atĩrĩ, “Ndaathima! O na niĩ baba ndaathima!”
Kwathi u-Esawu ewezwa amazwi kayise, wakhala kakhulu okuzwisa ubuhlungu wathi kuyise, “Ngibusisa lami njalo, baba!”
35 No ithe akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Mũrũ wa nyũkwa okire na wara, aheenia, na oya kĩrathimo gĩaku.”
Kodwa wathi, “Umfowenu uze ngobuqili wathatha isibusiso sakho.”
36 Esaũ akiuga atĩrĩ, “Githĩ nĩ ma nĩkĩo etagwo Jakubu? Arĩ kũũheenia maita maya meerĩ; nĩoire ũrigithathi wakwa, na rĩu nĩoya kĩrathimo gĩakwa!” Agĩcooka akĩũria ithe atĩrĩ, “Ndũnandigĩria kĩrathimo o na kĩmwe?”
U-Esawu wathi, “Kakumfanelanga na ukuthiwa nguJakhobe? Lokhu sokungokwesibili engiqila: Wathatha ubuzibulo bami, manje usethethe isibusiso sami?” Wasebuza wathi, “Kawungigcinelanga yini mina esinye isibusiso”?
37 Isaaka agĩcookeria Esaũ atĩrĩ, “Ndĩmũtuire mwathi waku na andũ ao othe ndaamatua ndungata ciake, na ndamũhe ngano na ndibei ya mũhihano imũtũũragie. Nĩ ũndũ ũcio nĩ atĩa ingĩhota gũgwĩkĩra, mũrũ wakwa?”
U-Isaka wamphendula u-Esawu wathi, “Sengimenze waba yinkosi phezu kwakho, ngenza zonke izihlobo zakhe zaba yizisebenzi zakhe, njalo ngamsekela ngenala yamabele langewayini elitsha. Kambe ngingabe ngisakwenzelani, ndodana yami?”
38 Esaũ akĩũria ithe atĩrĩ, “Baba, ndũrĩ na kĩrathimo o na kĩmwe ũndigĩirie? Ndaathima o na niĩ, baba!” Na hĩndĩ ĩyo Esaũ akĩrĩra anĩrĩire.
U-Esawu wathi kuyise, “Kanti ulesibusiso esisodwa kuphela na baba? Ngibusisa lami, baba!” U-Esawu wasekhala kakhulu ephumisela.
39 Nake ithe Isaaka akĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Wee ũgaatũũraga kũraihu na ũnoru wa thĩ, kũraihu na ime rĩrĩa riumaga igũrũ.
Uyise u-Isaka wamphendula wathi, “Umuzi wakho uzakuba khatshana lokuvunda komhlaba, khatshana lamazolo asezulwini eliphezulu.
40 Ũgaatũũragio nĩ rũhiũ rwa njora na nĩũgatungataga mũrũ wa nyũkwa. No rĩrĩ, rĩrĩa ũkaaremwo nĩgũkirĩrĩria-rĩ, nĩũkeruta icooki rĩake ngingo, ũrĩte.”
Uzaphila ngokusebenzisa inkemba njalo uzamkhonza umfowenu. Kodwa kuzakuthi lapho usudlubulunda, uzalilahla ijogwe lakhe lisuke entanyeni yakho.”
41 Esaũ agĩthũũra Jakubu nĩ ũndũ wa kĩrathimo kĩu aaheirwo nĩ ithe. Nake akiuga na ngoro atĩrĩ, “Matukũ ma gũcakaĩra baba makiriĩ gũkinya; maathira nĩguo ngooraga mũrũ wa maitũ Jakubu.”
U-Esawu wabambela uJakhobe isikhwili ngenxa yesibusiso uyise ayemuphe sona. Wazitshela wathi, “Insuku zokulilela ubaba seziseduze; lapho-ke ngizambulala umfowethu uJakhobe.”
42 Rĩrĩa Rebeka eerirwo ũrĩa Esaũ mũriũ ũcio wake mũkũrũ oigĩte, agĩtũmanĩra Jakubu mũriũ wake ũrĩa mũnini, akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Esaũ mũrũ wa nyũkwa arehooreria marakara na gwĩciiria ũrĩa egũkũũraga.
Kwathi uRabheka esezwile okwakutshiwo yindodana yakhe endala u-Esawu, wabiza indodana yakhe encinyane uJakhobe wathi kuye, “Umnewenu u-Esawu uziduduza ngomcabango wokuthi akubulale.
43 Rĩu mũrũ wakwa-rĩ, ĩka o ũrĩa ngũkwĩra. Thiĩ o ro rĩu ũũrĩre Harani, kwa mũrũ wa maitũ Labani.
Ngakho-ke wena ndodana yami, yenza lokho engikutshela khona: Baleka masinyane uye kumfowethu uLabhani eHarani.
44 Nawe ũikare nake kwa ihinda nginya mangʼũrĩ ma mũrũ wa nyũkwa mahũahũe.
Uhlale khonale ulaka lomfowenu luze ludede.
45 Rĩrĩa mũrũ wa nyũkwa agaatiga gũkũrakarĩra, na ariganĩrwo nĩ ũrĩa wamwĩkire-rĩ, nĩngagũtũmanĩra ũcooke mũciĩ. Ingĩkĩũrwo nĩ inyuĩ mũrĩ eerĩ mũthenya o ro ũmwe nĩkĩ?”
Kuzakuthi nxa umnewenu engasakuzondelanga esekhohliwe ukuthi kuyini owakwenza kuye, ngizathumela ilizwi ukuthi ubuye usuka khonale. Kambe kungaba yini ukuthi ngilahlekelwe yini lobabili ngasuku lunye na?”
46 Ningĩ Rebeka akĩĩra Isaaka atĩrĩ, “Nĩnogetio nĩ mũtũũrĩre nĩ ũndũ wa andũ-a-nja aya a Ahiti. Jakubu angĩhikania kuuma kũrĩ andũ-a-nja aya a Ahiti a bũrũri ũyũ-rĩ, ta andũ-a-nja aya Esaũ ahikĩtie-rĩ, hatirĩ bata wa gũtũũra muoyo.”
URabheka wasesithi ku-Isaka, “Ukuphila sokunginenga ngenxa yabafazi bamaHithi laba. Nxa uJakhobe engathatha umfazi ebafazini balelilizwe, abafazi bamaHithi abanje, ukuphila kwami kuyabe kungasasizi.”
