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.”
Kwasekusithi uIsaka esemdala lamehlo akhe esefiphele engasaboni, wabiza uEsawu indodana yakhe enkulu, wathi kuye: Ndodana yami! Wasesithi kuye: Khangela ngilapha.
2 Isaaka akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Rĩu niĩ ndĩ mũkũrũ na ndiũĩ mũthenya ũrĩa ingĩkua.
Wasesithi: Khangela-ke, sengimdala, angilwazi usuku lokufa kwami.
3 Rĩu-rĩ, oya indo ciaku cia ũguĩmi; ũta na mĩguĩ yaku, na uumagare ũthiĩ werũ-inĩ ũkanguĩmĩre nyamũ cia gĩthaka.
Ngakho khathesi, ake uthathe izikhali zakho, isikhwama sakho semitshoko ledandili lakho, uphume uye egangeni ungizingelele inyama yenyamazana,
4 Thondekera irio njega iria nyendete na ũndehere ndĩe, nĩgeetha ngũrathime na kĩrathimo gĩakwa itanakua.”
ungilungisele ukudla okumnandi njengengikuthandayo, ukulethe kimi ukuthi ngidle, ukuze umphefumulo wami ukubusise ngingakafi.
5 Na rĩrĩ, Rebeka agĩkorwo nĩathikĩrĩirie Isaaka akĩhe mũriũ Esaũ ũhoro ũcio. Na rĩrĩa Esaũ aathiire werũ-inĩ kũguĩma nyamũ nĩguo amĩinũkie-rĩ,
URebeka wasesizwa lapho uIsaka ekhuluma loEsawu indodana yakhe. UEsawu wasesiya egangeni ukuyazingela inyama yenyamazana ukuze ayilethe.
6 Rebeka akĩĩra mũriũ Jakubu atĩrĩ, “Nĩ ndaigua thoguo akĩĩra Esaũ mũrũ wa nyũkwa atĩrĩ,
URebeka wasekhuluma kuJakobe indodana yakhe, esithi: Khangela, ngizwile uyihlo ekhuluma kuEsawu umnewenu, esithi:
7 ‘Ndehere nyamũ ya kũguĩma na ũthondekere irio njega ndĩe, nĩgeetha ngũrathime na kĩrathimo gĩakwa ndĩ mbere ya Jehova itanakua.’
Ngilethela inyama yenyamazana, ungilungisele ukudla okumnandi ukuthi ngidle, ngikubusise phambi kweNkosi ngingakafi.
8 Rĩu, wee mũrũ wakwa-rĩ, thikĩrĩria wega na wĩke ũrĩa ngũkwĩra:
Ngakho khathesi, ndodana yami, lalela ilizwi lami kulokhu engikulaya 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.
Ake uye emhlanjini, ungithathele lapho amazinyane amabili amahle ezimbuzi, ngizawenzela uyihlo ukudla okumnandi njengalokho akuthandayo;
10 Ũcooke ũcioe ũcitwarĩre thoguo arĩe nĩgeetha akũrathime na kĩrathimo gĩake atanakua.”
uzakusa-ke kuyihlo ukuthi adle, ukuze akubusise engakafi.
11 No Jakubu akĩĩra nyina Rebeka atĩrĩ, “Esaũ mũrũ wa maitũ nĩ wa mwĩrĩ ũrĩ guoya, na mwĩrĩ wakwa ndũrĩ guoya.
UJakobe wasesithi kuRebeka unina: Khangela, uEsawu umnewethu uyindoda elihwanqa, kodwa ngiyindoda ebutshelezi.
12 Ĩĩ baba angĩĩhaambata? Ingĩonekana ngĩmũheenia na niĩ ndĩĩreherere kĩrumi handũ ha kĩrathimo.”
Mhlawumbe ubaba uzangiphulula, besengisiba emehlweni akhe njengomhleka usulu, njalo ngizilethele isiqalekiso kungabi-ke yisibusiso.
13 Nyina akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Mũrũ wakwa, reke kĩrumi kĩu kĩnjookerere, wee ĩka o ũrĩa ndĩrakwĩra; thiĩ ũndehere tũũri tũu.”
Unina wasesithi kuye: Isiqalekiso sakho kasibe phezu kwami, ndodana yami; kuphela lalela ilizwi lami, uhambe ungithathele wona.
14 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Jakubu agĩthiĩ, akĩgĩĩra tũũri, na agĩtũrehere nyina, nake agĩthondeka irio njega o ta iria ithe eendete.
Wasehamba, wawathatha, wawaletha kunina; unina waselungisa ukudla okumnandi njengalokho uyise akuthandayo.
15 Ningĩ Rebeka akĩoya nguo iria ciarĩ njega cia Esaũ mũriũ wake ũrĩa mũkũrũ iria aarĩ nacio nyũmba agĩcihumba Jakubu mũriũ wake ũrĩa mũnini.
URebeka wasethatha izigqoko ezinhle zikaEsawu indodana yakhe enkulu, ayelazo endlini, wagqokisa uJakobe indodana yakhe encinyane;
16 Agĩcooka akĩhumbĩra moko make na ngingo kũrĩa gũtaarĩ guoya na njũũa cia tũũri tũu.
lezikhumba zamazinyane ezimbuzi wazifaka ezandleni zakhe lebutshelezini bentamo yakhe.
17 Agĩcooka akĩnengera Jakubu mũriũ wake irio icio ciarĩ njega na mũgate ũrĩa aathondekete.
Wasenika ukudla okumnandi lesinkwa ayekulungisile esandleni sikaJakobe indodana yakhe.
18 Nake Jakubu agĩthiĩ kũrĩ ithe, akiuga atĩrĩ, “Baba.” Nake Isaaka agĩcookia atĩrĩ, “Niĩ ũyũ, mũrũ wakwa; wee nĩwe ũ?”
Wasesiza kuyise wathi: Baba! Wasesithi: Khangela ngilapha; ungubani ndodana yami?
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.”
UJakobe wasesithi kuyise: NginguEsawu izibulo lakho; ngenze njengoba ungitshelile; ake uvuke uhlale, udle okwenyama yami yenyamazana, ukuze umphefumulo wakho ungibusise.
20 Nake Isaaka akĩũria mũriũ atĩrĩ, “Mũrũ wakwa, kaĩ waciona narua atĩa?” Nake akĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Nĩ tondũ Jehova Ngai waku nĩaheire ũhootani.”
UIsaka wasesithi endodaneni yakhe: Kungani uyithole masinyane kangaka, ndodana yami? Wasesithi: Ngoba iNkosi uNkulunkulu wakho yenze ukuthi ize phambi kwami.
21 Ningĩ Isaaka akĩĩra Jakubu atĩrĩ, “Ta ũka hakuhĩ mũrũ wakwa, nĩguo ngũhambate menye kana ti-itherũ nĩwe Esaũ mũrũ wakwa kana tiguo.”
UIsaka wasesithi kuJakobe: Ake usondele ukuze ngikuphulule, ndodana yami, ukuthi uyindodana yami uEsawu uqobo, kumbe hatshi.
22 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Jakubu agĩkuhĩrĩria ithe Isaaka, nake akĩmũhambata, akiuga atĩrĩ, “Mũgambo nĩ wa Jakubu, no moko nĩ ma Esaũ.”
UJakobe wasesondela kuIsaka uyise; wasemphulula wathi: Ilizwi liyilizwi likaJakobe, kodwa izandla ziyizandla zikaEsawu.
23 Na ndaigana kũmũkũũrana tondũ moko make maarĩ na guoya ta ma mũrũ wa nyina Esaũ; nĩ ũndũ ũcio akĩmũrathima.
Kodwa kamazanga ngoba izandla zakhe zaziloboya njengezandla zomnewabo uEsawu; ngakho wambusisa.
24 O rĩngĩ akĩmũũria atĩrĩ, “Ti-itherũ nĩwe mũrũ wakwa Esaũ?” Nake agĩcookia atĩrĩ, “Ĩĩ nĩ niĩ.”
Wasesithi: Uyindodana yami uEsawu uqobo yini? Wasesithi: 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: Sondeza kimi ukuze ngidle okwenyama yenyamazana yendodana yami, ukuze umphefumulo wami ukubusise. Waseyisondeza kuye, wasesidla; waseletha kuye iwayini, wasenatha.
26 Ningĩ ithe Isaaka akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Mũrũ wakwa, ũka haha ũũmumunye”.
Uyise uIsaka wasesithi kuye: Ake usondele, ungange, ndodana yami.
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.
Wasesondela, wamanga; wasenuka iphunga lezembatho zakhe, wambusisa wathi: Khangela, iphunga lendodana yami linjengephunga lensimu iNkosi eyibusisileyo.
28 Ngai arokũhe ime rĩa igũrũ o na ũnoru wa thĩ, na ũingĩ wa ngano na wa ndibei ya mũhihano.
Ngakho uNkulunkulu akunike okwamazolo amazulu lokokuvunda komhlaba, lenala 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.”
Abantu kabakukhonze, lezizwe zikukhothamele. Bana yinkosi yabafowenu, lamadodana kanyoko akukhothamele. Okuqalekisayo kaqalekiswe, lokubusisayo kabusiswe!
30 Na rĩrĩ, Isaaka aarĩkia kũmũrathima na Jakubu aarĩkia kuuma harĩ ithe o ro ũguo-rĩ, mũrũ wa nyina Esaũ agĩũka kuuma kũguĩma.
Kwasekusithi uIsaka eseqedile ukubusisa uJakobe, kwathi uJakobe esanda ukuphuma phambi kukaIsaka uyise, uEsawu umnewabo wafika evela ekuzingeleni kwakhe.
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 futhi walungisa ukudla okumnandi, wakusa kuyise; wathi kuyise: Ubaba kavuke, adle okwenyama yenyamazana yendodana yakhe, ukuze umphefumulo wakho ungibusise.
32 Nake ithe Isaaka akĩmũũria atĩrĩ, “We nĩwe ũ?” Nake akĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Nĩ niĩ Esaũ, mũrũ waku wa irigithathi.”
UIsaka uyise wasesithi kuye: Ungubani? Wasesithi: Ngiyindodana yakho, izibulo lakho uEsawu.
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.”
UIsaka wasethuthumela ngokuthuthumela okukhulukazi, wathi: Pho, ngubani ozingele inyama yenyamazana wayiletha kimi, ngasengisidla okwayo yonke ungakafiki? Ngimbusisile, yebo uzabusiswa.
34 Rĩrĩa Esaũ aiguire ciugo cia ithe, agĩtumũka na kĩrĩro kĩnene na kĩa ruo, akĩĩra ithe atĩrĩ, “Ndaathima! O na niĩ baba ndaathima!”
Kwathi uEsawu esezwe amazwi kayise, wakhala ngokukhala okukhulu lokubuhlungu isibili, wathi kuyise: Ngibusisa lami njalo, baba!
35 No ithe akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Mũrũ wa nyũkwa okire na wara, aheenia, na oya kĩrathimo gĩaku.”
Wasesithi: Umfowenu ufike ngenkohliso, 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?”
Wasesithi: Kasikuthi babiza ibizo lakhe ngokuthi nguJakobe, ukuthi ungiqile lezizikhathi ezimbili? Ilungelo lobuzibulo bami ulithethe, khangela-ke, khathesi uthethe isibusiso sami. Wathi futhi: Kawungigcinelanga mina 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?”
UIsaka wasephendula wathi kuEsawu: Khangela, ngimbekile abe yinkosi phezu kwakho, labo bonke abafowabo ngimnikile babe zinceku; ngimsekele ngamabele lewayini elitsha; pho, 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.
UEsawu wasesithi kuyise: Ulesibusiso esisodwa yini, baba? Ngibusisa lami njalo, baba. UEsawu waphakamisa ilizwi lakhe wakhala inyembezi.
39 Nake ithe Isaaka akĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Wee ũgaatũũraga kũraihu na ũnoru wa thĩ, kũraihu na ime rĩrĩa riumaga igũrũ.
UIsaka uyise wasephendula wathi kuye: Khangela, umuzi wakho uzakuba khatshana lokuvunda komhlaba lakhatshana lamazolo amazulu avela phezulu.
40 Ũgaatũũragio nĩ rũhiũ rwa njora na nĩũgatungataga mũrũ wa nyũkwa. No rĩrĩ, rĩrĩa ũkaaremwo nĩgũkirĩrĩria-rĩ, nĩũkeruta icooki rĩake ngingo, ũrĩte.”
Njalo uzaphila ngenkemba yakho, uzakhonza umfowenu. Kodwa kuzakuthi lapho usuphunyuka, uzakwephula ijogwe lakhe 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.”
UEsawu wasemzonda uJakobe ngenxa yesibusiso uyise ayembusise ngaso. UEsawu wasesithi enhliziyweni yakhe: Insuku zokulilela ubaba sezisondele, khona ngizambulala umnawami uJakobe.
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 uRebeka etshelwa amazwi kaEsawu indodana yakhe enkulu, wathuma wabiza uJakobe indodana yakhe encinyane, wathi kuye: Khangela, uEsawu umnewenu uyaziduduza ngawe ukuthi akubulale.
43 Rĩu mũrũ wakwa-rĩ, ĩka o ũrĩa ngũkwĩra. Thiĩ o ro rĩu ũũrĩre Harani, kwa mũrũ wa maitũ Labani.
Ngakho khathesi, ndodana yami, lalela ilizwi lami; sukuma uzibalekele uye kuLabani umfowethu eHarani,
44 Nawe ũikare nake kwa ihinda nginya mangʼũrĩ ma mũrũ wa nyũkwa mahũahũe.
njalo uhlale laye insuku ezinlutshwana, ize idede intukuthelo yomnewenu,
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?”
kuze kuthi ulaka lomnewenu ludede kuwe, futhi akhohlwe lokho okwenze kuye; besengithuma ngikulande khona; kungani ngizalahlekelwa layini lobabili ngosuku lunye?
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.”
URebeka wasesithi kuIsaka: Nginengekile yimpilo ngenxa yamadodakazi kaHethi; uba uJakobe ethatha umfazi kumadodakazi kaHethi anjengala, emadodakazini alelilizwe, ngiphilelani?
