< Kinohi 27 >
1 I KO Isaaka manawa i elemakule ai, a powehiwehi ai kona mau maka, a hiki ole ia ia ke ike aku; hea aku la oia ia Esau i kana keiki mua, i aku la ia ia, E kuu keiki: i mai la kela, Eia wau.
Kwathi u-Isaka eseluphele, amehlo akhe esethundubele okokuthi wayengasaboni, wabiza u-Esawu indodana yakhe endala wathi kuye, “Ndodana yami.” Waphendula wathi, “Ngilapha.”
2 I aku la oia, Eia hoi, ua elemakule au, aole hoi au i ike i kuu la e make ai:
U-Isaka wathi, “Manje sengilixhegu, njalo kangilazi ilanga lami lokufa.
3 Ano hoi, e lawe oe i kau mau mea pana, i kau aapua a me kau kakaka, e hele aku oe i ka nahelehele e imi i kahi io na'u;
Thatha izikhali zakho, isikhwama semitshoko yakho ledandili lakho ungene iganga uyengizingelela inyamazana.
4 A e hana oe i mea ono na'u i ka mea hoi a'u i ono ai, a e lawe mai oe i o'u nei, i paina au, a i hoomaikai aku kuu uhane ia oe mamua o kuu make ana.
Ungilungisele ukudla okumnandi engikuthandayo ukulethe kimi lapha ngidle, ukuze ngikuphe isibusiso sami ngingakafi.”
5 Lohe ae la o Rebeka i ka wa a Isaaka i olelo aku ai ia Esau i kana keiki A hele aku o Esau i ka nahelehele e imi aku a e lawe mai i ka io o ka holoholona hihiu.
URabheka wayelalele u-Isaka ekhuluma lendodana yakhe u-Esawu. Kwathi u-Esawu esephumile waya egangeni ukuyazingela inyamazana ukuze ayilethe,
6 Olelo aku la o Rebeka ia Iakoba i kana keiki, i aku la, Aia hoi, ua lohe iho nei au i kou makuakane e olelo ana i kou kaikuaana ia Esau, i ka i ana ae,
uRabheka wathi endodaneni yakhe uJakhobe, “Khangela, ngizwe uyihlo esithi kumnewenu u-Esawu
7 E lawe mai oe io'u nei i io holoholona hihiu, a e hana i ka mea ono na'u, i paina au, a i hoomaikai hoi au ia oe imua o Iehova mamua o kuu make ana.
‘Ngilethela inyamazana ungilungisele ukudla okumnandi ngidle, ukuze ngikuphe isibusiso sami phambi kukaThixo ngingakafi.’
8 Ano hoi, e kuu keiki, e hoolohe mai oe i ko'u leo, ma ka mea a'u e kauoha aku nei ia oe.
Manje-ke lalela kuhle, ndodana yami, wenze lokho engikutshela khona:
9 E hele koke aku oe i ka poe holoholona, a e lawe mai i na keiki kao maikai i elua; a na'u no e hana i ka mea ono na kou makuakane, i kana mea i ono ai:
Yana emhlambini ulethe lapha kimi amazinyane embuzi amabili anonileyo, ukuze ngilungisele uyihlo ukudla okumnandi ngendlela akuthanda ngayo.
10 A e halihali aku oe ia mea i kou makuakane, i ai iho ia, a i hoomaikai mai oia ia oe mamua o kona make ana.
Wena ubusukusa kuyihlo adle, abesekunika isibusiso sakhe engakafi.”
11 Olelo mai la o Iakoba ia Rebeka i kona makuwahine, Aia hoi, he kanaka huluhulu o Esau kuu kai kuaana, a he kanaka pahee no wau:
UJakhobe wathi kuRabheka unina, “Kodwa umnewethu u-Esawu lihwanqa, mina ngilejwabu elitshelelayo.
12 A e hana mai paha kuu makuakane ia'u, a e ikea auanei au e ia he mea hoopunipuni; a e hooili mai au i ka hoinoia maluna iho o'u, aole ka hoomaikaiia,
Pho ubaba angangibamba ke? Kuzabonakala ukuthi ngiyamqila ngibe sengizehlisele isiqalekiso phezu kwami esikhundleni sesibusiso.”
13 I aku la kona makuwahine ia ia, Maluna iho o'u kou hoinoia, e kuu keiki; e hoolohe wale mai oe i ko'u leo, e kii aku, a e lawe mai io'u nei.
Unina wathi kuye, “Ndodana yami, lesosiqalekiso kasehlele kimi. Wena yenza lokho engikutshela khona kuphela; hamba uyengithathela wona.”
14 Kii aku la ia, a lawe mai la ia mau mea i kona makuwahine: a na kona makuwahine i hana i ka mea ono, a kona makuakane i ono ai.
Ngakho wahamba wayawathatha wawaletha kunina, yena walungisa ukudla okumnandi, ngaleyondlela eyayithandwa nguyise.
15 Lawe ae la o Rebeka i ka aahu maikai o kana keiki mua o Esau, i ka mea e waiho ana iloko o ka hale me ia, a hoaahu iho la ia Iakoba i kana keiki muli iho ia mea.
URabheka wasethatha izigqoko ezithandekayo zika-Esawu indodana yakhe endala, ezazikhona endlini, wazigqokisa indodana yakhe encane, uJakhobe.
16 A hoopili aku la o Rebeka i na ili o na keiki kao maluna o kona mau lima, a me ka pahee o kona a-i.
Wabuya wamgoqela izandla zakhe lentamo lapho okwakubutshelezi khona ngesikhumba sembuzi.
17 Haawi aku la ia i ka mea ono, a me ka berena ana i hoomakaukau ai, iloko o ka lima o Iakoba o kana keiki.
Waseqhubela indodana yakhe uJakhobe ukudla lokho okumnandi kanye lesinkwa ayesenzile.
18 A hele aku la ia i kona makuakane, i aku la, E kuu makuakane: i mai la kela, Eia no wau; owai la oe, e kuu keiki?
Waya kuyise wafika wathi, “Baba.” Wasabela wathi, “Yebo, ndodana yami. Ngubani?”
19 I aku la o Iakoba i kona makuakane, Owau no o Esau, o kau makahiapo; ua hana iho nei au i kau mea i kauoha mai ai; ke noi aku nei au, e ala mai oe, e noho a e ai iho i ka'u io o ka mea hihiu, i hoomaikai mai kou uhane ia'u.
UJakhobe wathi kuyise, “Ngingu-Esawu izibulo lakho. Sengenzile njengokungilayela kwakho. Vuka uhlale udle inyama yami yenyamazana ukuze ungiphe isibusiso sakho.”
20 I mai la o Isaaka i kana keiki, Pehea ka emoole o ka loaa ana o ia mea ia oe, e kuu keiki? I aku la kela, No ka mea, na Iehova na kou Akua i hoohalawai ia mea me au.
U-Isaka wayibuza indodana yakhe wathi, “Uyizuze njani masinyane kangaka, ndodana yami?” Waphendula wathi, “uThixo uNkulunkulu wakho ungiphumelelisile.”
21 I mai la o Isaaka ia Iakoba, Ke noi aku nei au ia oe, e neenee mai a kokoke, i hana aku au ia oe, e kuu keiki, i ike au o ka'u keiki o Esau paha oe, aole paha.
U-Isaka wasesithi kuJakhobe, “Sondela eduze ngikuthinte, ndodana yami, ukuze ngazi ngempela ukuthi uyiyo indodana yami u-Esawu noma hatshi.”
22 Neenee aku la o Iakoba io Isaaka la i kona makuakane: a hana mai la oia ia ia, i mai la, O ka leo, ka leo no o Iakoba, aka, o na lima, na lima no o Esau.
UJakhobe wasondela kuyise u-Isaka wamthinta wathi, “Ilizwi ngelikaJakhobe, kodwa izandla yizandla zika-Esawu.”
23 Aole no i ikea oia, no ka mea, ua huluhulu kona mau lima, e like me na lima o kona kaikuaana, o Esau: a hoomaikai mai oia ia ia.
Kazange amazi ngoba izandla zakhe zaziloboya njengezikamnewabo u-Esawu; ngakho wambusisa.
24 Ninau mai la oia ia ia, O oe io no anei o ka'u keiki o Esau? I aku la kela, Owau no.
Wabuza wathi, “Kambe unguye na u-Esawu indodana yami?” Waphendula wathi, “Nginguye.”
25 I mai la oia, E lawe mai ia mea a kokoke ia'u, a e ai iho no wau i ka io mea hihiu a kuu keiki, i hoomaikai aku kuu uhane ia oe, Lawe aku la o Iakoba a kokoke, a ai iho la kela: lawe aku la hoi oia i ka waina, a inu iho la kela.
Wasesithi, “Ndodana yami, ngipha inyama yakho yenyamazana ngidle, ukuze ngikuphe isibusiso sami.” UJakhobe wamupha wadla; waletha lewayini wanatha.
26 Olelo mai la kona makuakane o Isaaka ia ia, E hele mai oe a honi ia'u, e kuu keiki.
Uyise u-Isaka wathi kuye, “Woza lapha, ndodana yami, ungange.”
27 Hele aku la o Iakoba, a honi ae la ia ia: honi iho la o Isaaka i ke ala o kona aahu, hoomaikai mai la ia ia, i mai la, Aia, o ke ala o kuu keiki, ua like me ke ala o ka mahinaai a Iehova i hoomaikai ai:
Wasesiya kuye wamanga. Kwathi u-Isaka esewuzwile umnuko wezigqoko zakhe, wambusisa wathi, “Yeka, umnuko wendodana yami unjengomnuko wensimu uThixo ayibusisileyo.
28 E haawi mai ke Akua ia oe i ka hau no ka lani mai, me ka momona o ka honua, a me ka palaoa a me ka waina he nui:
Sengathi uNkulunkulu angakupha amazolo asezulwini lokuvunda komhlabathi, inala yamabele lewayini elitsha.
29 E hookauwa mai na kanaka nau, a e moe iho na lahuikanaka imua ou, o lilo oe i haku maluna o kou poe hoahanau, a e moe iho na keiki o kou makuwahine imua ou: e hoinoia'ku na mea a pau e hoino mai ia oe, a e hoopomaikaiia'ku ka mea hoomaikai ia oe.
Sengathi izizwe zingakukhonza labantu bakukhothamele. Ube yinkosi phezu kwabafowenu, njalo sengathi amadodana kanyoko angakukhothamela. Sengathi labo abakuqalekisayo labo baqalekiswe labakubusisayo babusiswe.”
30 A oki ae la ka hoomaikai ana mai a Isaaka ia Iakoba, aneane hoi ole mai o Iakoba mai ke alo mai o Isaaka o kona makuakane, puka mai la hoi o Esau o kona kaikuaana mai kona imi mea hihiu ana.
U-Isaka eseqedile ukumbusisa njalo uJakhobe esathi uyasuka kuyise, umnewabo u-Esawu wabengena evela zingela.
31 Hana no hoi oia i ka mea ono, a lawe mai hoi ia mea i kona makuakane, i aku la ia i kona makuakane, E ala mai oe, e kuu makuakane, a e ai iho i ka io mea hihia a kana keiki, i hoomaikai mai kou uhane ia'u.
Laye njalo walungisa ukudla okumnandi wakuletha kuyise. Wasesithi kuye, “Baba, vuka udle inyama yami yenyamazana, ukuze ungiphe isibusiso sakho.”
32 Ninau mai la o Isaaka o kona makuakane ia ia, Owai oe? I aku la kela, Owau no o kau keiki, o kau makahiapo, o Esau.
Uyise u-Isaka wambuza wathi, “Ungubani wena?” Waphendula wathi, “Ngiyindodana yakho, izibulo lakho u-Esawu.”
33 Haalulu nui loa iho la o Isaaka, i mai la, Owai? auhea hoi ka mea i kii i ka io mea hihiu, a i lawe mai hoi io'u nei, a ua ai iho nei au a pau, mamua o kou hiki ana mai, a ua hoomaikai au ia ia? Oiaio, oia ke hoomaikaiia.
U-Isaka wathuthumela kakhulu wathi, “Kanti ubengubani ozingele inyamazana wayiletha kimi? Ngiyidlile khathesi nje usuzafika, ngambusisa njalo ngempela uzakubusiswa!”
34 A lohe ae la o Esau i ka olelo a kona makuakane, uwe iho la ia me ka uwe nui loa, i aku la ia i kona makuakane, E hoomaikai mai ia'u, ia'u hoi, e kuu makuakane,
Kwathi u-Esawu ewezwa amazwi kayise, wakhala kakhulu okuzwisa ubuhlungu wathi kuyise, “Ngibusisa lami njalo, baba!”
35 I mai la kela, Ua hele mai nei kou kaikaina me ka maalea, a ua lawe aku i kou hoomaikaiia,
Kodwa wathi, “Umfowenu uze ngobuqili wathatha isibusiso sakho.”
36 I aku la oia, Aole anei i pono ke kapa ana ia ia o Iakoba? no ka mea, eia ka lua o kona kaili ana i ko'u pono: kaili aku la oia i ko ka hanaumua pono o'u; eia hoi, ano, ua kaili ae la oia i ko'u hoomaikaiia. I aku la hoi o Esau, Aole anei oe i malama no'u kekahi hoomaikai ana?
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 Olelo mai la o Isaaka ia Esau, Aia hoi, ua hoolilo aku au ia ia i haku nou, a ua haawi aku no wau i kona poe hoahanau a pau i poe kauwa nana; ua malama aku hoi au ia ia i ka palaoa a me ka waina: a heaha ka'u e hana aku ai nau, e kuu keiki?
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 I aku la o Esau i kona makuakane, Hookahi wale no anei au hoomaikai ana, e kuu makuakane? e hoomaikai mai oe ia'u hoi, e kuu makuakane. Hookiekie ae la o Esau i kona leo, a uwe iho la.
U-Esawu wathi kuyise, “Kanti ulesibusiso esisodwa kuphela na baba? Ngibusisa lami, baba!” U-Esawu wasekhala kakhulu ephumisela.
39 Olelo mai la o Isaaka, kona makuakane, i mai la ia ia, Aia hoi, ma ka aina momona kou noho ana, a ma kahi o ka hau o ka lani mai luna iho.
Uyise u-Isaka wamphendula wathi, “Umuzi wakho uzakuba khatshana lokuvunda komhlaba, khatshana lamazolo asezulwini eliphezulu.
40 I kau pahikaua e ola auanei oe, a e hookauwa aku oe na kou kaikaina: a i ka manawa e loaa'i ia oe ke alii ana, alaila e haihai iho oe i kana anamo ma kou a-i.
Uzaphila ngokusebenzisa inkemba njalo uzamkhonza umfowenu. Kodwa kuzakuthi lapho usudlubulunda, uzalilahla ijogwe lakhe lisuke entanyeni yakho.”
41 Inaina aku la o Esau ia Iakoba, no ka hoomaikai ana a kona makuakane i hoomaikai aku ai ia ia: i iho la o Esau iloko o kona naau, Ua kokoke mai na la e kanikau ai i kuu makuakane; alaila au e pepehi ai i kuu kaikaina ia Iakoba.
U-Esawu wabambela uJakhobe isikhwili ngenxa yesibusiso uyise ayemuphe sona. Wazitshela wathi, “Insuku zokulilela ubaba seziseduze; lapho-ke ngizambulala umfowethu uJakhobe.”
42 Ua haiia'ku keia olelo ana a Esau ia Rebeka: hoouna aku la ia e hea ia Iakoba i kana keiki muli iho, i aku la ia ia, Aia hoi, o kou kaikuaana o Esau, e hooluolu ana oia ia ia iho nou, e pepehi iho ia oe.
Kwathi uRabheka esezwile okwakutshiwo yindodana yakhe endala u-Esawu, wabiza indodana yakhe encinyane uJakhobe wathi kuye, “Umnewenu u-Esawu uziduduza ngomcabango wokuthi akubulale.
43 Ano hoi, e kuu keiki, e hoolohe mai oe i kuu lee; e ku ae oe, e holo aku io Labana la, i kuu kaikunane ma Harana:
Ngakho-ke wena ndodana yami, yenza lokho engikutshela khona: Baleka masinyane uye kumfowethu uLabhani eHarani.
44 E noho me ia i kekahi mau la, a huli ae ka inaina o kou kaikuaana mai ou aku la;
Uhlale khonale ulaka lomfowenu luze ludede.
45 A huli ae ka inaina o kou kaikuaana mai ou aku la, a poina ia ia kau mea i hana aku ai ia ia: alaila e hoouna aku no wau e hoihoi mai ia oe: no ke aha la e hooneleia mai au ia olua a elua i ka la hookahi?
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 Olelo aku la o Rebeka ia Isaaka, Ua pauaho no wau i kuu ola ana, no na kaikamahine a ka Heta: ina e lawe o Iakoba i kekahi kaikamahine a ka Heta i wahine nana, e like me na kaikamahine o ka aina, pehea la wau e pono ai i kuu ola aua?
URabheka wasesithi ku-Isaka, “Ukuphila sokunginenga ngenxa yabafazi bamaHithi laba. Nxa uJakhobe engathatha umfazi ebafazini balelilizwe, abafazi bamaHithi abanje, ukuphila kwami kuyabe kungasasizi.”
