Kinohi 33
1 NANA aku la na maka o Iakoba, ike aku la, aia hoi, ua hiki mai o Esau me na haneri kanaka eha. A puunaue aku la ia i na kamalii ia Lea, a ia Rahela, a i na kauwawahine elua.
UJakobe wasephakamisa amehlo akhe, wabona, khangela-ke, uEsawu esiza lamadoda angamakhulu amane kanye laye. Wasesehlukanisa abantwana phakathi kukaLeya loRasheli lencekukazi zombili.
2 Hoonoho aku la ia i na kauwawahine me na keiki a laua mamua, ia Lea hoi me kana mau keiki mahope iho, a ia Rahela me Iosepa mahope loa.
Wasebeka izincekukazi labantwana bazo ngaphambili, loLeya labantwana bakhe ngemuva, loRasheli loJosefa ekucineni.
3 Hele e aku la ia mamua o lakou; kulou pahiku iho la ia ma ka honua, a hiki aku la ia i kona kaikuaana.
Yena uqobo wasesedlula phambi kwabo, wakhothamela emhlabathini kasikhombisa waze wafika eduze lomnewabo.
4 Holo mai la o Esau e halawai me ia, apo mai la ia ia, kau iho la ma kona a-i, a honi iho la ia ia: a uwe iho la laua.
UEsawu wasegijima ukumhlangabeza, wamgona, wawela entanyeni yakhe, wamanga; basebekhala inyembezi.
5 Alawa ae la kona mau maka, ike ae i na wahine a me na kamalii; ninau mai la ia, Owai lakou nei me oe? I aku la kela, O lakou no na keiki a ke Akua i haawi lokomaikai mai ai i kau kauwa.
Wasephakamisa amehlo akhe wabona abesifazana labantwana, wathi: Ngobani laba olabo? Wasesithi: Abantwana uNkulunkulu ngomusa ayinike bona inceku yakho.
6 Alaila neenee mai la na kauwawahine, o laua me na keiki a laua, a kulou iho la lakou.
Zasezisondela incekukazi, zona labantwana bazo, bakhothama.
7 Neenee mai la hoi o Lea me kana mau keiki, a kulou iho la lakou: a mahope iho, neenee mai la o Iosepa me Rahela, a kulou iho la laua.
Laye uLeya wasesondela labantwana bakhe, bakhothama; emva kwalokho uJosefa wasondela loRasheli, bakhothama.
8 Ninau mai la kela, Heaha ia oe kela poe nui a pau i halawai me au? I aku la oia, He mea ia e loaa mai ai ke aloha o kuu haku.
Wasesithi: Uqondeni ngaleli iqembu lonke engihlangene lalo? Wasesithi: Ukuthola umusa emehlweni enkosi yami.
9 I mai la kela, He nui no ka'u, e kuu kaikaina, ia oe no kau mea.
UEsawu wasesithi: Ngilokunengi, mfowethu; okwakho kakube ngokwakho.
10 I aku la o Iakoba, Aole, ke noi aku nei au ia oe, ina i loaa ia'u ke alohaia imua on, e lawe oe i ka'u makana ma ko'u lima: no ka mea, ua ike iho nei au i kou maka, e like me kuu ike ana i ka maka o ke Akua, a ua oluolu mai oe ia'u.
UJakobe wasesithi: Hayi bo! Uba khathesi ngithole umusa emehlweni akho, yemukela isipho sami esivela esandleni sami; ngoba yikho ngibone ubuso bakho kunjengokuthi ngibone ubuso bukaNkulunkulu, njalo wathokoza ngami.
11 Ke noi aku nei au ia oe, e lawe oe i ka'u hoomaikai ana i haawiia ku nau; no ka mea, ua lokomaikai mai ke Akua ia'u, a no ka mea, ua lako hoi au. Koi aku la oia ia ia, a lawe hoi kela.
Ake wemukele isipho sami esilethwa kuwe; ngoba uNkulunkulu ungiphile ngomusa, njalo ngoba ngilakho konke. Wasemncenga, waze wasemukela.
12 I mai la kela, e neenee aku kakou i ko kakou hele ana, a e hele hoi au imua ou.
Wasesithi: Asisuke sihambe, njalo ngizahamba phambi kwakho.
13 I aku la oia ia ia, Ua ike no kuu haku, he palupalu na kamalii, a me au no na hipa hapai a me na bipi hapai: ina e hoolalelaleia lakou i ka la hookahi, e pau ka ohana holoholona i ka make.
Kodwa wathi kuye: Inkosi yami iyazi ukuthi abantwana babuthakathaka, lokuthi izimvu lezinkomo engilazo ziyenyisa; uba-ke beziqhuba ngamandla usuku olulodwa, umhlambi wonke uzakufa.
14 Ke noi aku nei au ia oe, e hele e aku kuu haku mamua o kana kauwa ma kela kapa; a na'u no e hele malie aku, e like me ka hiki ana o na holoholona a me na kamalii ke hele imua o'u, a hiki aku au i kuu haku ma Seira.
Inkosi yami ake yedlule phambi kwenceku yayo; mina-ke ngizaqhubeka kuhle kuhle, ngokuhamba komsebenzi ophambi kwami, langokuhamba kwabantwana, ngize ngifike enkosini yami eSeyiri.
15 I mai la o Esau, E pono paha na'u e waiho me oe i kekahi poe kanaka o'u. I aku la ia, No ke aha hoi ia? ina e loaa ia'u ke alohaia imua o kuu haku.
UEsawu wasesithi: Ake ngibeke kuwe abanye babantu abalami. Wasesithi: Kungani lokhu? Kangithole umusa emehlweni enkosi yami.
16 A hoi hou aku la o Esau ia la i kona hele ana i Seira.
UEsawu wasebuyela ngendlela yakhe ngalolosuku, waya eSeyiri.
17 Hele aku la o Iakoba i Sukota, a kukulu ia i hale nona, a hana iho la i hale kamala no kona poe holoholona: nolaila, i kapaia'i ka inoa o ia wahi, o i Sukota.
Njalo uJakobe waqhubeka waya eSukothi, wazakhela indlu, wenzela izifuyo zakhe izibaya ezilophahla; ngakho wayitha ibizo lendawo iSukothi.
18 Hele pomaikai aku la o Iakoba i kekahi kulanakauhale o Sekema, ma ka aina o Kanaana ia ia i hoi mai ai mai Padanarama mai, a kukulu iho la ia i kona halelewa imua o ua kulanakauhale la.
UJakobe wasefika evikelekile emzini weShekema, oselizweni leKhanani, ekuveleni kwakhe ePadani-Arama; wamisa inkamba phambi komuzi.
19 Kuai aku la ia i kauwahi o ka aina, kahi ana i kukulu ai i kona halelewa, ma ka lima o na keiki a Hamora a ka makuakane o Sekema, i na apana kala he haneri.
Njalo ingxenye yesiqinti amisela kuyo amathente akhe wayithenga esandleni samadodana kaHamori uyise kaShekema, ngezinhlamvu zemali ezilikhulu.
20 Malaila oia i hana'i i kuahu, a kapa iho la i kona inoa, o Elelohe-Iseraela.
Wasemisa khona ilathi, walibiza ngokuthi yiEli-Elohe-Israyeli.
