1 OLELO mai la ke Akua ia Iakoba, E ku ae oe, e pii aku i Betela, ilaila e noho ai: ilaila oe e hana'i i kuahu no ke Akua i ikea e oe i kou wa i mahuka ai mai ka maka o kou kaikuaana o Esau.
UNkulunkulu wasesithi kuJakobe: Sukuma, yenyukela eBhetheli, uhlale khona; umenzele lapho ilathi uNkulunkulu owabonakala kuwe mhla ubaleka ebusweni bukaEsawu umnewenu.
2 Alaila, i aku la o Iakoba i ko ka hale ona, a i ka poe a pau me ia, E haalele oukou i na akua e iwaena o oukou, e huikala ia oukou iho, a e aahu iho i na kapa hou:
UJakobe wasesithi kundlu yakhe lakubo bonke ababelaye: Susani onkulunkulu bezizwe abaphakathi kwenu, lizihlambulule, lintshintshe izembatho zenu.
3 A e ku ae kakou, e pii aku i Betela; malaila au e hana'i i kuahu no ke Akua nana au i maliu mai i ka la o ko'u popilikia, a i hele pu me au i kuu ala i hele ai.
Asisukume senyukele eBhetheli, ngimenzele khona uNkulunkulu ilathi owangiphendula ngosuku lokuhlupheka kwami, njalo waba lami endleleni engahamba kuyo.
4 Haawi mai la lakou ia Iakoba i na akua e ma ko lakou lima, a me na apo ma na pepeiao o lakou: a huna iho la o Iakoba ia mau mea malalo o ka laau oka aia ma Sekema.
Basebenika uJakobe bonke onkulunkulu bezizwe ababesesandleni sabo, lamacici ayesezindlebeni zabo; uJakobe wasekufihla ngaphansi kwesihlahla se-okhi eliseShekema.
5 Hele aku la lakou: a kau mai la ka weliweli mai ke Akua mai maluna o na kulanakauhale ma kela aoao a keia aoao o lakou, a alualu ole mai la lakou i na keiki o Iakoba.
Basebehamba; lokwesabeka kukaNkulunkulu kwakuphezu kwemizi eyayibazingelezele, njalo kabawaxotshanga amadodana kaJakobe.
6 A hiki aku la o Iakoba ia Luza, oia hoi o Betela, ma ka aina o Kanaana, oia a me na kanaka a pau me ia.
UJakobe wasefika eLuzi, eselizweni leKhanani, eyiBhetheli, yena labantu bonke ababelaye.
7 Hana iho la ia i kuahu malaila, a kapa iho la ia wahi o i Ele-betela: no ka mea, ilaila ke Akua i ikea ai e ia i kona wa i mahuka ai mai ka maka aku o kona kaikuaana.
Wasesakha khona ilathi, wayibiza indawo ngokuthi iEli-Bhetheli, ngoba lapho uNkulunkulu wabonakala kuye ekubalekeleni ubuso bomnewabo.
8 Make iho la o Debora o ke kahu no Rebeka, a ua kanuia oia malalo o Betela malalo o kekahi laau oka: a ua kapaia ka inoa o ia wahi, o i Alona-bakuta.
Njalo uDebora umlizane kaRebeka wafa, wangcwatshwa ezansi kweBhetheli ngaphansi kwesihlahla se-okhi, ngakho wasitha ibizo laso iAloni-Bakuthi.
9 Ikea hou ke Akua e Iakoba, i kona hoi ana mai, noloko mai o Padanarama, a hoomaikai mai la ia ia.
UNkulunkulu wasebuya wabonakala kuJakobe evela ePadani-Arama, wambusisa.
10 I mai la ke Akua ia ia, O Iakoba kou inoa: aole e hea hou ia kou inoa o Iakoba, aka, o Iseraela kou inoa: a kapa iho la oia i kona inoa o Iseraela.
UNkulunkulu wasesithi kuye: Ibizo lakho nguJakobe; ibizo lakho kalisayikuthiwa nguJakobe, kodwa uIsrayeli kuzakuba libizo lakho. Wabiza ibizo lakhe ngokuthi uIsrayeli.
11 I mai la ke Akua ia ia, Owau no ke Akua Mana: a e hoohua ae oe, a e mahuahua; nau mai no kekahi lahuikanaka, a me na lahuikanaka; a e puka mai auanei na alii mailoko mai o kou puhaka;
UNkulunkulu wasesithi kuye: NginguNkulunkulu uSomandla; zala wande; isizwe, yebo ibandla lezizwe kuzavela kuwe; lamakhosi azaphuma ekhalweni lwakho.
12 A o ka aina a'u i haawi aku ai no Aberahama, a no Isaaka, e haawi aku hoi au nou, a no kau poe mamo mahope ou ka'u e haawi aku ai i ka aina.
Lelizwe engalinika uAbrahama loIsaka ngizalinika wena, lenzalweni yakho emva kwakho ngizayinika ilizwe.
13 A pii aku la ke Akua iluna mai ona aku la, ma kahi ana i kamailio pu ai me ia.
UNkulunkulu wasesenyuka esuka kuye endaweni lapho ayekhuluma laye khona.
14 Hooku ae la o Iakoba i eho ma kahi ana i kamailio mai ai me ia, he eho pohaku: a ninini iho la ia i ka mohaiinu maluna; a ninini iho la hoi oia i ka aila maluna.
UJakobe wasemisa insika endaweni lapho ayekhuluma laye khona, insika yelitshe. Wathululela phezu kwayo umnikelo wokunathwayo, wathela phezu kwayo amagcobo.
15 Kapa iho la o Iakoba i ka aina o kahi a ke Akua i olelo mai ai me ia, o Betela.
UJakobe waseyitha ibizo lendawo, lapho uNkulunkulu ayekhulume laye khona, iBhetheli.
16 Hele aku la lakou mai Betela aku, a ua kokoke e hiki i Eperata, haakohi iho la o Rahela, a puua iho i ka hanau keiki ana.
Basebehamba besuka eBhetheli; kwathi kusesengummango ukuya eEfrathi, uRasheli wabeletha, wayelobunzima ekubeletheni.
17 A i kona puua ana, i aku la ka pale keiki ia ia, Mai makau oe, e loaa auanei ia oe keia keiki no hoi.
Kwasekusithi ekubeletheni kwakhe nzima, umbelethisi wathi kuye: Ungesabi, ngoba lalo uzakuba yindodana yakho.
18 A i ka wa e kaili ana kona ea, (no ka mea, make no oia, ) kapa iho la ia i kona inoa, i Benoni: aka, kapa aka la kona makuakane ia ia, o Beniamina.
Kwasekusithi umphefumulo wakhe usuphuma, ngoba esesifa, wayitha ibizo layo uBenoni; kodwa uyise wayibiza ngokuthi nguBhenjamini.
19 Make iho la o Rahela, a kanuia oia ma ke alanui e hele ai i Eperata, oia o Betelehema.
URasheli wasesifa, wangcwatshwa endleleni eya eEfrathi, eyiBhethelehema.
20 Hooku ae la o Iseraela, i pohaku eho maluna o kona he, oia ka eho no ka he o Rahela, a hiki i keia manawa.
UJakobe wasemisa insika phezu kwengcwaba lakhe; le yinsika yengcwaba likaRasheli kuze kube lamuhla.
21 Hele aku la o Iseraela, a kukulu iho la i kona halelewa ma o aku o ka halekiai o Edara.
UIsrayeli wasehamba, wamisa ithente lakhe ngaphambili komphotshongo weEderi.
22 A i ka noho ana o Iseraela ma ia aina, hele aka la o Reubena, a moe pu iho la me Bileha me ka haiawahine a kona makuakane; a lohe ae la o Iseraela. O na keikikane a Iakoba he umikumamalua:
Kwasekusithi uIsrayeli ehlala kulelolizwe, uRubeni waya walala loBiliha umfazi omncinyane kayise; uIsrayeli wasekuzwa. Amadodana kaJakobe-ke ayelitshumi lambili;
23 O na keikikane a Lea; o Reubena ka makahiapo a Iakoba, o Simeona, o Levi, o Iuda, o Isakara, a o Zebuluna.
amadodana kaLeya: Izibulo likaJakobe, uRubeni, loSimeyoni loLevi loJuda loIsakari loZebuluni;
24 O na keikikane a Rahela; o Iosepa, a o Beniamina.
amadodana kaRasheli: OJosefa loBhenjamini;
25 O na keikikane a Bileha, a ke kauwawahine a Rahela; o Dana, a o Napetali.
lamadodana kaBiliha, incekukazi kaRasheli: ODani loNafithali;
26 O na keikikane a Zilepa, a ke kauwawahine a Lea; o Gada a o Asera. O lakou na keikikane a Iakoba, i hanau nana ma Padanarama.
lamadodana kaZilipa, incekukazi kaLeya: OGadi loAsheri; la ngamadodana kaJakobe azalelwa yena ePadani-Arama.
27 Hele aku la o Iakoba i kona makuakane ia Isaaka ma Mamere, ma ke kulanakauhale o Areba, (oia o Heberona, ) kahi i noho ai o Aberahama a me Isaaka.
UJakobe wasefika kuIsaka uyise eMamre, eKiriyathi-Arba, eyiHebroni, lapho uAbrahama ahlala khona njengowezizwe, loIsaka.
28 A o na la o Isaaka, hookahi haneri makahiki a me kanawalu.
Lensuku zikaIsaka zaziyiminyaka elikhulu lamatshumi ayisificaminwembili.
29 Kuu aku la o Isaaka i ka uhane, a make iho la, a ua huiia'ku ia me kona poe kanaka: ua elemakule ia, a nui loa kona mau la: na kana mau keikikane na Esau ma laua o Iakoba oia i kanu.
UIsaka wasehodoza, wafa, wabuthelwa ezizweni zakibo, emdala, enele ngensuku. Amadodana akhe uEsawu loJakobe asemngcwaba.
