< Kinohi 31 >
1 LOHE aku la o Iakoba i na olelo a na keikikane a Labana, i ka i ana ae, Ua lawe aku la o Iakoba i na mea a pau a ko kakou makuakane, a ua loaa ia ia keia waiwai a pau no na mea a ko kakou makuakane.
Wasesizwa amazwi amadodana kaLabani esithi: UJakobe uthethe konke okukababa; langalokho okwakungokukababa wenza lonke loludumo.
2 Nana aku la o Iakoba i ka maka o Labana, aole ia i maliu mai ia ia e like mamua.
UJakobe wasebona ubuso bukaLabani, futhi khangela, babunganjengamandulo kuye.
3 Olelo mai la hoi o Iehova ia Iakoba, E hoi hou aku oe i ka aina o kou poe makua, a i na hoahanau ou; a owau kekahi pu me oe.
INkosi yasisithi kuJakobe: Buyela elizweni laboyihlo lezihlotsheni zakho; njalo ngizakuba lawe.
4 Hoouna aku la o Iakoba e kahea ia Rahela laua o Lea e hele mai ma ke kula i kona poe holoholona.
UJakobe wasethuma wababiza oRasheli loLeya emadlelweni emhlanjini wakhe,
5 I aku la oia ia laua, Ua ike no wau i ka maka o ko olua makuakane, aole ia i maliu mai ia'u e like mamua: aka, me au no ke Akua o ko'u makuakane.
wathi kibo: Ngiyabona ubuso bukayihlo ukuthi kabunjengamandulo kimi; kodwa uNkulunkulu kababa ube lami.
6 Ua ike hoi olua i ko'u malama i ana i ko olua makuakane me ko'u ikaika a pau.
Futhi lina liyazi ukuthi ngamandla ami wonke ngimsebenzele uyihlo.
7 A ua hoopunipuni mai ko olua makuakane ia'u, a he umi kana hoololi ana i ka'u uku: aka, aole ke Akua i ae mai e hoopoino mai ia ia'u.
Kodwa uyihlo ungikhohlisile, waphendula iholo lami okwezikhathi ezilitshumi, kanti uNkulunkulu kamvumelanga ukwenza okubi kimi.
8 Ina i olelo mai kela penei, O na mea kikokiko kau uku, alaila hanau mai la na holoholona i na mea kikokiko: a i olelo mai ia penei, O na mea onionio kau uku, alaila hanau mai la na holoholona a pau i na mea onionio.
Kwathi esitsho njalo: Ezilamabala zizakuba liholo lakho, khona umhlambi wonke wazala ezilamabala. Kwathi esitsho njalo: Ezingamaqamule zizakuba liholo lakho, khona umhlambi wonke wazala ezingamaqamule.
9 Pela ke Akua i lawe ai i na holoholona a ko olua makuakane, a ua haawi mai ia'u.
Ngokunjalo uNkulunkulu uthethe izifuyo zikayihlo, wanginika.
10 A i ka manawa a ka poe holoholona i ko ai, nana aku la ko'u mau maka ma ka moeuhane, ike aku la, aia hoi, o na kao kane i lele aku maluna o na kao wahine ua onionio, a ua kikokiko, a me ke kikohukohu.
Kwasekusithi, ngesikhathi umhlambi umitha, ngaphakamisa amehlo ami ngabona ephutsheni, khangela-ke, izimpongo ezikhwela umhlambi zazingamaqamule, zilamabala, lezizinala.
11 Olelo mai la ka anela o ke Akua ia'u ma ka moeuhane, E Iakoba: i aku la au, Eia wau.
Ingilosi kaNkulunkulu yasisithi kimi ephutsheni: Jakobe! Ngathi: Khangela ngilapha.
12 I mai la kela, E nana aku oe e ike, o na kao kane e lele ana maluna o na kao wahine, ua onionio, ua kikokiko, a me ke kikohukohu: no ka mea, ua ike no wau i ka mea a pau a Labana i hana mai ai ia oe.
Yasisithi: Ake uphakamise amehlo akho ubone, zonke impongo ezikhwela umhlambi zingamaqamule, zilamabala lezizinala; ngoba ngibonile konke uLabani akwenze kuwe.
13 Owau no ke Akua no Betela, kahi au i poni ai i ka pohaku kukulu, kahi hoi au i hoohiki ai i ka hoohiki ia'u: ano hoi, e ku ae oe, e haalele aku i keia aina, a e hoi hou aku i ka aina o kou poe hoahanau.
NginguNkulunkulu weBhetheli lapho owagcoba khona insika, owathembisa khona isithembiso kimi. Khathesi, vuka, uphume kulelilizwe, ubuyele elizweni lokuzalwa kwakho.
14 Olelo mai la o Rahela laua o Lea, i mai la ia ia, Auhea kekahi kuleana, a o kekahi waiwai hooili no maua ma ka hale o ko maua makuakane?
ORasheli loLeya baphendula bathi kuye: Siselesabelo lelifa endlini kababa yini?
15 Aole anei i manaoia maua e ia, he mau mea e? no ka mea, ua lilo maua i ke kuaiia e ia, a ua pau loa hoi ko maua kala ia ia.
Kasibalwa njengabezizwe kuye yini? Ngoba wasithengisa, futhi wadla lokudla imali yethu.
16 Nolaila, o ka waiwai a pau a ke Akua i lawe ae mai ko maua makuakane mai, no kakou ia a no na keiki a kakou: ano hoi, e hana aku oe i ka mea a ke Akua i olelo mai ai ia oe.
Ngoba inotho yonke uNkulunkulu ayemuke ubaba ingeyethu leyabantwana bethu; khathesi-ke, konke uNkulunkulu akutsho kuwe, kwenze.
17 Alaila, ku ae la o Iakoba, hoee aku la i kana mau keiki a me kana mau wahine maluna o na kamelo;
UJakobe wasesukuma, wakhweza amadodana akhe labomkakhe emakameleni;
18 A lawe aku la ia i kana poe holoholona a pau, a me kona waiwai a pau i loaa ia ia, o na holoholona ana, i loaa ia ia ma Padanarama, e hele aku ai io Isaaka la i kona makuakane, ma ka aina o Kanaana.
waqhuba izifuyo zakhe zonke, layo impahla yakhe yonke abeyizuzile, izifuyo zenzuzo yakhe, ayezizuze ePadani-Arama, ukuze aye kuIsaka uyise elizweni leKhanani.
19 Ua hala aku la o Labana e ako i kana poe hipa: a aihue iho la o Rahela i na kii o kona makuakane.
Njalo uLabani esehambile ukuyagunda izimvu zakhe, uRasheli weba izithombe uyise ayelazo.
20 Puni aku la ka naau o Labana ka Suria, ia Iakoba, i ka hai ole aku ia ia i kona mahuka ana.
UJakobe wasuka enyenya engananzelelwe kuLabani umSiriya, ngoba kamazisanga ukuthi uyabaleka.
21 Pela oia i mahuka ai me kana mau mea a pau: ku ae la ia, hele mai la ma keia aoao o ka muliwai, a hele pololei mai la i ka mauna o Gileada.
Wasebaleka, yena lakho konke ayelakho, wasukuma, wachapha umfula, wakhangelisa ubuso bakhe entabeni yeGileyadi.
22 I ke kolu o ka la, olelo aku la kekahi ia Labana, Ua mahuka aku o Iakoba.
Kwasekusaziswa uLabani ngosuku lwesithathu ukuthi uJakobe ubalekile.
23 Kono aku la ia i kona poe hoahanau e hele pa me ia, alualu mai mahope ona i na la hele ehiku, a hiki mai la io Iakoba la ma ka mauna o Gileada.
Wasethatha abafowabo kanye laye, waxotshana laye ibanga lensuku eziyisikhombisa, wamfica entabeni yeGileyadi.
24 Hele mai la ke Akua io Labana la ka Suria ma ka moeuhane i ka po, i mai la ia ia, E ao ia oe iho, mai olelo aku oe ia Iakoba i ka mea aloha, aole hoi ka mea hoino.
UNkulunkulu wasesiza kuLabani umSiriya ephutsheni lebusuku, wathi kuye: Ziqaphele, hlezi ukhulume loJakobe okuhle kumbe okubi.
25 Alaila loaa mai la o Iakoba ia Labana. Ua kukulu o Iakoba i kona halelewa ma ua mauna la: kukulu hoi o Labana me kona poe hoahanau ma ka mauna o Gileada.
ULabani wasemfica uJakobe. Njalo uJakobe wayemise ithente lakhe entabeni; uLabani laye kanye labafowabo bamisa entabeni yeGileyadi.
26 Olelo mai la o Labana ia Iakoba, Heaha kau i hana'i i hoopunipuni mai ai oe ia'u, a i lawe aku ai hoi i ka'u mau kaikamahine, e like me na pio e ke kana?
ULabani wasesithi kuJakobe: Wenzeni, ukuthi usuke unyenye ngingananzelele, uthathe amadodakazi ami ngamandla njengabathunjiweyo ngenkemba?
27 No ke aha la oe i holo malu mai ai, me ka puni mai ia'u, aole hoi i hai mai ia'u, i hoihoi aku ai au ia oe me ka olioli a me na mele, me na pahukani a me na lira!
Ubalekeleni ngasese, unginyenyela, ungangazisanga, ukuthi ngabe ngikuvalelise ngokuthokoza langengoma, ngesigubhu langechacho?
28 Aole hoi i ae mai oe ia'u e honi i ka'u mau moopuna a me na kaikamahine a'u? He lapuwale ka hana ana au i hana'i.
Njalo kawungivumelanga ukuthi ngange amadodana ami lamadodakazi ami. Khathesi wenze ubuthutha ngokwenza lokho.
29 E hiki no i kuu lima ke hana aku ia oe i ke ino: aka, o ke Akua o kou makuakane i olelo mai ia'u, i ka po nei, i ka i ana, E ao oe, mai olelo aku oe ia Iakoba i ka mea aloha, aole hoi ka mea hoino.
Kusemandleni esandla sami ukwenza okubi kini; kodwa uNkulunkulu kayihlo ukhulumile kimi ebusuku obudlulileyo wathi: Ziqaphele ukuthi ungakhulumi loJakobe okuhle kumbe okubi.
30 Ano hoi, i ka hele ana ua hala aku la oe, no kou iini nui ana i ka hale o kou makuakane; no ke aha hoi oe i aihue ai i ko'u mau akua?
Khathesi-ke, ukuhamba uhambile, ngoba ngokukhanuka ukhanukile indlu kayihlo; webeleni onkulunkulu bami?
31 Olelo aku la o Iakoba ia Labana, i aku la, No ka mea, ua makau wau: i iho la au, E kaili aku paha oe i kau mau kaikamahine mai o'u aku nei.
UJakobe wasephendula wathi kuLabani: Ngoba ngesaba, ngoba wathi: Hlezi ungihluthunele amadodakazi akho.
32 A o ka mea e loaa ia oe, ia ia kou mau akua, aole ia e ola; imua o ko kana mau hoahanau e nana oe i kau maanei me au, a e lawe aku oe i ou la. No ka mea, aole i ike o Iakoba, na Rahela i aihue ia mau mea.
Lowo ozathola kuye onkulunkulu bakho kangaphili; phambi kwabafowethu zinanzelelele okungokwakho okukimi, uzithathele. Ngoba uJakobe wayengazi ukuthi uRasheli wayebebile.
33 Komo aku la o Labana iloko o ka halelewa o Iakoba, a iloko o ka halelewa o Lea, iloko hoi o na halelewa o na kauwawahine elua, aole i loaa. Alaila, hele aku la ia iwaho o ka halelewa o Lea, a komo aku la iloko o ka halelewa o Rahela.
ULabani wasengena ethenteni likaJakobe lethenteni likaLeya, lethenteni lezincekukazi ezimbili, kodwa katholanga. Waphuma ethenteni likaLeya, wangena ethenteni likaRasheli.
34 Ua lawe aku no o Rahela i ua mau kii la, a waiho pu iho la me na noho kamelo, a noho iho la maluna. Huli iho la o Labana i ka halelewa a pau, aole nae i loaa.
Kodwa uRasheli wayethethe izithombe, wazifaka esikhwameni sesihlalo sekamela, wahlala phezu kwazo. ULabani waphumputha ithente lonke kodwa katholanga.
35 I aku la o Rahela i kona makuakane, mai huhu mai ko'u haku i kuu hiki ole ke ku ae iluna; no ka mea, he mai wahine ko'u. Imi iho la oia, aole nae i loaa ia ia na kii.
Wasesithi kuyise: Kalungavuthi ulaka emehlweni enkosi yami ukuthi ngingesukume phambi kwakho, ngoba indlela yabesifazana ikimi. Wabhudula, kodwa kazitholanga izithombe.
36 Ukiuki iho la o Iakoba, a ao aku la ia Labana: olelo aku la o Iakoba, i aku la ia Labana, Heaha ko'u hala? heaha hoi ko'u hewa, i alualu wela mai ai oe ia'o?
UJakobe wasethukuthela, waphikisana loLabani; uJakobe waphendula wathi kuLabani: Isiphambeko sami siyini, isono sami siyini, ukuthi ungixotshe ngokutshiseka?
37 A ua huli iho oe i ka'u ukana a pau, a heaha kau i loaa ai o na mea a pau o kou hale? e kau mai ianei imua o ko'u mau hoahanau a me kou mau hoahanau, i hooponopono mai ai lakou iwaena o kaua.
Njengoba usubambabambe kuyo impahla yami yonke, utholeni okwayo impahla yonke yendlu yakho? Ibeke lapha phambi kwabafowethu labafowenu ukuze baqume phakathi kwethu sobabili.
38 He iwakalua na makahiki a'u i noho ai me oe; o kau poe hipa wahine a me kau poe kao wahine, aole lakou i hanau i ka wa, aole hoi au i ai i na hipa kane o kou poe holoholona.
Iminyaka le engamatshumi amabili ngangilawe; izimvukazi zakho lezibhuzikazi zakho kaziphunzanga, lezinqama zemihlambi yakho kangizidlanga.
39 O na mea i haehaeia, aole au i lawe aku ion la; na'u no i uku aku: nau i lawe aku ia mea mai kuu lima aku, no ka mea i aihueia i ke ao, a i aihueia i ka po.
Ezadatshulwayo kangizilethanga kuwe, mina ngazihlawula; esandleni sami wazibiza, zebiwe emini loba zebiwe ebusuku.
40 Pela wau; i ke ao, ua wela au i ka la, a i ka po, ua make i ke anu: a holo aku la ka hiamoe mai o'u mau maka aku.
Nganginjalo emini imbalela yangidla, lamakhaza ebusuku, ubuthongo babaleka emehlweni ami.
41 Pela wau i na makahiki he iwakalua maloko o kou hale; hooikaika au nau i na makahiki he umikumamaha no kau mau kaikamahine, a me na makahiki eono no kou poe holoholona: a he umi kau hoololi ana i ka'u uku.
Iminyaka le engamatshumi amabili bengisemzini wakho, ngakusebenzela okweminyaka elitshumi lane ngenxa yamadodakazi akho amabili, leminyaka eyisithupha ngenxa yomhlambi wakho; njalo waphendula iholo lami okwezikhathi ezilitshumi.
42 Ina aole me au ke Akua o ko'u knpunakane, ke Akua o Aberahama, a o ka makau o Isaaka, he oiaio, ina ua hoihoi nele mai oe ia'u i neia manawa. Ua ike mai no ke Akua i ko'u popilikia, a me ka hana ana a ko u mau lima, a ua papa mai ia oe i ka po nei.
Ngaphandle kokuthi uNkulunkulu kababa, uNkulunkulu kaAbrahama lokwesaba kukaIsaka ubengelami, isibili khathesi ubuzangixotsha ngize. Inhlupheko zami lomtshikatshika wezandla zami uNkulunkulu ubonile, wakusola izolo ebusuku.
43 Olelo mai la o Labana ia Iakoba, i mai la, Na'u no keia mau kaikamahine, a na'u no keia mau kamalii, a na'u no hoi keia poe holoholona, a na'u no na mea a pau au e ike nei; a heaha ka'u mea e hiki ai i keia la ke hana aku i keia mau kaikamahine a'u, a me keia mau kamalii a lakou i hanau ai?
ULabani wasephendula wathi kuJakobe: Amadodakazi angamadodakazi ami, lamadodana angamadodana ami, lomhlambi ngumhlambi wami, lakho konke okubonayo kungokwami; lemadodakazini ami ngizakwenzani kuwo lamuhla, loba kubantwana bawo abawazeleyo?
44 Nolaila ea, e hoopaa kaua i berita, owau a o oe, i mea hoikeike mawaena o kaua.
Khathesi-ke, woza, asenze isivumelwano, mina lawe, njalo sibe yibufakazi phakathi kwami lawe.
45 Lalau aku la o Iakoba i ka pohaku, a hooku ae la ia mea i kukulu.
UJakobe wasethatha ilitshe, walimisa laba yinsika.
46 I aku la hoi o Iakoba i kona poe hoahanau, E houluulu mai oukou i na pohaku; lawe mai la lakou i na pohaku, a hana iho la i ahu; a ai iho la lakou maluna o ua ahu la.
UJakobe wasesithi kubafowabo: Buthani amatshe. Basebethatha amatshe, benza inqumbi; badla khona phezu kwenqumbi.
47 Kapa iho la o Labana ia ahu, o I Iegasaduha: kapa iho ia o Iakoba ia mea, o I Galeeda.
ULabani waseyibiza ngokuthi yiJegari-Sahadutha, kodwa uJakobe wayibiza ngokuthi yiGaledi.
48 Olelo mai la o Labana, He mea hoikeike keia ahu pohaku mawaena o kaua i keia la. Nolaila i kapaia'i kona inoa o Galeeda.
ULabani wasesithi: Linqwaba iyibufakazi phakathi kwami lawe lamuhla. Ngakho bayitha ibizo layo iGaledi,
49 A o I Mizepa hoi; no ka mea, i mai la ia, O Iehova ke kiai mai mawaena o kaua, i ko kaua manawa e noho kaawale ana.
leMizipa, ngoba wathi: INkosi kayilinde phakathi kwami lawe, lapho singabonani omunye lomunye.
50 Ina oe e hoopilikia i ka'u mau kaikamahine ina hoi oe e lawe i na wahine hou, he okoa keia mau kaikamahine a'u, aohe kanaka me kaua; e ao oe, o ke Akua no ke ike maka mai mawaena o kaua.
Uba uhlupha amadodakazi ami, njalo uba uthatha abafazi phezu kwamadodakazi ami, kakulamuntu olathi, bona, uNkulunkulu ungumfakazi phakathi kwami lawe.
51 I mai la o Labana ia Iakoba, E nana i keia ahu, e nana hoi i keia pohaku kukulu a'u i hoolei aku ai mawaena o kaua;
ULabani wasesithi kuJakobe: Khangela linqwaba, khangela-ke lensika engiyiphosileyo phakathi kwami lawe.
52 He mea hoikeike keia ahu, he mea hoikeike hoi keia pohaku kukulu, i hele ole aku ai au ma keia aoao o keia ahu i ou la, aole hoi oe e hele mai ma keia aoao o ua ahu nei a me keia pohaku kukulu i o'u nei, e hana ino.
Linqwaba kayibe yibufakazi, lensika kayibe yibufakazi, bokuthi mina kangiyikuyidlula linqwaba ngiye kuwe, lawe kawuyikuyidlula linqwaba lalinsika uze kimi ngokubi.
53 O ke Akua o Aberahama, a o ke Akua o Nahora, ke Akua o ko laua makuakane, e hooponopono mawaena o kaua. A hoohiki aku la o Iakoba ma ka Makau o kona makuakane o Isaaka.
UNkulunkulu kaAbrahama loNkulunkulu kaNahori, kahlulele phakathi kwethu, uNkulunkulu kayise wabo. UJakobe wasefunga ngokwesaba kayise uIsaka.
54 Alaila, kaumaha aku la o Iakoba i ka mohai maluna o ia mauna, a kahea aku la i kona poe hoahanau e ai i ka berena: ai iho la lakou i ka berena, a moe iho la ia po ma ka mauna.
UJakobe wasehlaba umhlatshelo entabeni, wabiza abafowabo ukuthi badle isinkwa; basebesidla isinkwa, balala entabeni.
55 I kakahiaka nui, aia ae ia o Labana, honi ae la i kana mau moopuna a me kana mau kaikamahine, a hoomaikai iho la ia lakou; hele aku la o Labana, a hoi aku la i kona wahi.
ULabani wasevuka ekuseni kakhulu, wanga amadodana akhe lamadodakazi akhe, wawabusisa; uLabani wasehamba wabuyela endaweni yakhe.
