1 Mgbe Aịzik ghọrọ agadi, nʼoge anya ya na-adịghị ahụzi ụzọ nke ọma, ọ kpọrọ Ịsọ ọkpara ya, sị ya, “Nwa m nwoke.” Ọ zara sị, “Lee m nʼebe a.”
Kwathi u-Isaka eseluphele, amehlo akhe esethundubele okokuthi wayengasaboni, wabiza u-Esawu indodana yakhe endala wathi kuye, “Ndodana yami.” Waphendula wathi, “Ngilapha.”
2 Aịzik gwara ya sị, “Ugbu a, emeela m agadi, amakwaghị m ụbọchị ọnwụ m.
U-Isaka wathi, “Manje sengilixhegu, njalo kangilazi ilanga lami lokufa.
3 Ya mere, were ihe ịchụ nta gị, ụta gị na àkụ gị, gaa nʼọhịa, gbutere m anụ.
Thatha izikhali zakho, isikhwama semitshoko yakho ledandili lakho ungene iganga uyengizingelela inyamazana.
4 Siere m nri ụtọ otu ahụ o si amasị m, butere m ya ka m rie, ka mụ onwe m gọzie gị tupu m nwụọ.”
Ungilungisele ukudla okumnandi engikuthandayo ukulethe kimi lapha ngidle, ukuze ngikuphe isibusiso sami ngingakafi.”
5 Ma Ribeka nọ na-ege ntị mgbe Aịzik na-agwa nwa ya Ịsọ okwu. Nke mere na mgbe Ịsọ gawara nʼọhịa ịchụ nta,
URabheka wayelalele u-Isaka ekhuluma lendodana yakhe u-Esawu. Kwathi u-Esawu esephumile waya egangeni ukuyazingela inyamazana ukuze ayilethe,
6 Ribeka gwara Jekọb nwa ya okwu sị ya, “Lee, anụrụ m ka nna gị na-agwa nwanne gị Ịsọ okwu sị ya,
uRabheka wathi endodaneni yakhe uJakhobe, “Khangela, ngizwe uyihlo esithi kumnewenu u-Esawu
7 ‘Gaa nʼọhịa gbute anụ, siere m nri ụtọ, ka m nọdụ nʼihu Onyenwe anyị nye gị ngọzị ikpeazụ tupu m nwụọ.’
‘Ngilethela inyamazana ungilungisele ukudla okumnandi ngidle, ukuze ngikuphe isibusiso sami phambi kukaThixo ngingakafi.’
8 Ugbu a, nwa m nwoke, gee ntị nke ọma, mee ihe niile m gwara gị.
Manje-ke lalela kuhle, ndodana yami, wenze lokho engikutshela khona:
9 Gaa ugbu a nʼigwe anụ ụlọ wetara m ụmụ nwa ewu abụọ dị mma ka m jiri ha siere nna gị nri dị ụtọ, ụdị ahụ na-amasị ya.
Yana emhlambini ulethe lapha kimi amazinyane embuzi amabili anonileyo, ukuze ngilungisele uyihlo ukudla okumnandi ngendlela akuthanda ngayo.
10 Ị ga-eburu ya bujere nna gị ka o rie, ka ya onwe ya gọzie gị tupu ọ nwụọ.”
Wena ubusukusa kuyihlo adle, abesekunika isibusiso sakhe engakafi.”
11 Ma Jekọb gwara Ribeka nne ya okwu sị ya, “Nwanne m nwoke Ịsọ bụ onye gbara ajị. Ahụ nke m na-akwọ mụrụmụrụ.
UJakhobe wathi kuRabheka unina, “Kodwa umnewethu u-Esawu lihwanqa, mina ngilejwabu elitshelelayo.
12 Gịnị ga-eme ma nna m metụ m aka nʼahụ? Nʼihi ya, aga m abụ onye na-aghọ ya aghụghọ, aga m esi otu a wetara onwe m ịbụ ọnụ kama ngọzị.”
Pho ubaba angangibamba ke? Kuzabonakala ukuthi ngiyamqila ngibe sengizehlisele isiqalekiso phezu kwami esikhundleni sesibusiso.”
13 Nne ya gwara ya sị, “Nwa m nwoke ka ọbụbụ ọnụ gị dakwasị m. Naanị mee ihe m kwuru. Gaa wetara m ha.”
Unina wathi kuye, “Ndodana yami, lesosiqalekiso kasehlele kimi. Wena yenza lokho engikutshela khona kuphela; hamba uyengithathela wona.”
14 Ya mere, ọ gara weta ha nye nne ya. O ji ha sie nri dị ụtọ, ụdị nke na-amasị nna ya.
Ngakho wahamba wayawathatha wawaletha kunina, yena walungisa ukudla okumnandi, ngaleyondlela eyayithandwa nguyise.
15 Emesịa, Ribeka chịpụtara uwe Ịsọ ọkpara ya, ndị dị mma, ndị ọ debere nʼụlọ ya, nye ya nwa ya nta bụ Jekọb.
URabheka wasethatha izigqoko ezithandekayo zika-Esawu indodana yakhe endala, ezazikhona endlini, wazigqokisa indodana yakhe encane, uJakhobe.
16 O jikwa akpụkpọ anụ ụmụ ewu nwere ajị ajị kee Jekọb nʼaka na nʼakụkụ olu ya na-akwọ mụrụmụrụ.
Wabuya wamgoqela izandla zakhe lentamo lapho okwakubutshelezi khona ngesikhumba sembuzi.
17 O bunyere nwa ya nwoke Jekọb nri ahụ na-atọ ụtọ, na achịcha o mere.
Waseqhubela indodana yakhe uJakhobe ukudla lokho okumnandi kanye lesinkwa ayesenzile.
18 O jekwuuru nna ya sị ya, “Nna m.” Ọ zara sị, “Ahaa, nwa m, onye ka ị bụ?”
Waya kuyise wafika wathi, “Baba.” Wasabela wathi, “Yebo, ndodana yami. Ngubani?”
19 Jekọb zara nna ya sị ya, “Abụ m Ịsọ, ọkpara gị. Emeela m ihe ị sị m mee. Biko bilie ka i rie anụ m gbutere nʼọhịa, ka gị onwe gị gọzie m.”
UJakhobe wathi kuyise, “Ngingu-Esawu izibulo lakho. Sengenzile njengokungilayela kwakho. Vuka uhlale udle inyama yami yenyamazana ukuze ungiphe isibusiso sakho.”
20 Ma Aịzik jụrụ nwa ya nwoke sị, “Olee otu i si chọta ya ngwangwa, nwa m?” Jekọb zara ya sị, “Ọ bụ Onyenwe anyị Chineke gị mere ka ihe gaara m nke ọma.”
U-Isaka wayibuza indodana yakhe wathi, “Uyizuze njani masinyane kangaka, ndodana yami?” Waphendula wathi, “uThixo uNkulunkulu wakho ungiphumelelisile.”
21 Mgbe ahụ Aịzik gwara Jekọb sị, “Bịa nso ka m metụ gị aka nwa m nwoke, ka m mata ma ị bụ Ịsọ nʼeziokwu.”
U-Isaka wasesithi kuJakhobe, “Sondela eduze ngikuthinte, ndodana yami, ukuze ngazi ngempela ukuthi uyiyo indodana yami u-Esawu noma hatshi.”
22 Jekọb jere nna ya Aịzik nso, onye metụrụ ya aka kwuo sị, “Olu bụ olu Jekọb ma aka gị bụ aka Ịsọ.”
UJakhobe wasondela kuyise u-Isaka wamthinta wathi, “Ilizwi ngelikaJakhobe, kodwa izandla yizandla zika-Esawu.”
23 Ọ chọpụtaghị na ọ bụ Jekọb, nʼihi na aka ya dị ajị ajị dịka nke Ịsọ. Ya mere, ọ gọziri ya.
Kazange amazi ngoba izandla zakhe zaziloboya njengezikamnewabo u-Esawu; ngakho wambusisa.
24 Ma ọ jụkwara ya ajụjụ ọzọ sị ya, “Ị bụ nwa m nwoke Ịsọ nʼeziokwu?” Jekọb zara sị ya, “E, abụ m ya.”
Wabuza wathi, “Kambe unguye na u-Esawu indodana yami?” Waphendula wathi, “Nginguye.”
25 Mgbe ahụ, Aịzik zara sị ya, “Butere m ụfọdụ nʼime anụ ahụ i gbutere ka m rie, nye gị ngọzị m.” Jekọb butere ya bunye ya. O riri ya.
Wasesithi, “Ndodana yami, ngipha inyama yakho yenyamazana ngidle, ukuze ngikuphe isibusiso sami.” UJakhobe wamupha wadla; waletha lewayini wanatha.
26 Mgbe ahụ, nna ya Aịzik sịrị ya, “Bịa nʼebe a nwa m nwoke, sutu m ọnụ.”
Uyise u-Isaka wathi kuye, “Woza lapha, ndodana yami, ungange.”
27 Ya mere, o jekwuuru ya sutu ya ọnụ. Mgbe Aịzik nụrụ isisi uwe ya, ọ gọziri ya, sị, “Nʼezie, isisi nwa m nwoke dịka isisi ala ubi nke Onyenwe anyị gọziri.
Wasesiya kuye wamanga. Kwathi u-Isaka esewuzwile umnuko wezigqoko zakhe, wambusisa wathi, “Yeka, umnuko wendodana yami unjengomnuko wensimu uThixo ayibusisileyo.
28 Ka Chineke nye gị site nʼigirigi nke eluigwe, na mmanụ nke ala, ụba nke mkpụrụ ubi na mmanya ọhụrụ
Sengathi uNkulunkulu angakupha amazolo asezulwini lokuvunda komhlabathi, inala yamabele lewayini elitsha.
29 Ka ọtụtụ mba jeere gị ozi, ka ndị mmadụ kpọọ isiala nye gị. Bụrụ onye ọchịchị nʼebe ụmụnna gị nọ, ka ụmụ nne gị mụrụ kpọọ isiala nye gị. Ka ndị niile na-abụ gị ọnụ bụrụ ndị a bụrụ ọnụ, ka ndị na-agọzi gị bụrụ ndị a gọziri agọzi.”
Sengathi izizwe zingakukhonza labantu bakukhothamele. Ube yinkosi phezu kwabafowenu, njalo sengathi amadodana kanyoko angakukhothamela. Sengathi labo abakuqalekisayo labo baqalekiswe labakubusisayo babusiswe.”
30 Mgbe Aịzik gọzichara Jekọb, ka Jekọb si nʼihu ya na-apụ, lee Ịsọ ka o si ịchụ nta na-alọbata.
U-Isaka eseqedile ukumbusisa njalo uJakhobe esathi uyasuka kuyise, umnewabo u-Esawu wabengena evela zingela.
31 Ya onwe ya sikwara nri na-atọ ụtọ butere nna ya. Mgbe ahụ, ọ gwara ya sị, “Ka nna m, bilie, rie anụ nwa ya si nʼọhịa gbute, ka gị onwe gị nye m ngọzị gị.”
Laye njalo walungisa ukudla okumnandi wakuletha kuyise. Wasesithi kuye, “Baba, vuka udle inyama yami yenyamazana, ukuze ungiphe isibusiso sakho.”
32 Aịzik zara sị ya, “Ị bụ onye?” Ọ zara sị, “Abụ m nwa gị nwoke Ịsọ, ọkpara gị Ịsọ.”
Uyise u-Isaka wambuza wathi, “Ungubani wena?” Waphendula wathi, “Ngiyindodana yakho, izibulo lakho u-Esawu.”
33 Oke ahụ ọma jijiji mara Aịzik, ọ sị, “Onye kwanụ bụ onye ahụ gara gbute anụ butere m ya? Eriri m ya tupu ị bata. Agọziri m ya. Nʼezie, onye a gọziri agọzi ka ọ ga-abụ.”
U-Isaka wathuthumela kakhulu wathi, “Kanti ubengubani ozingele inyamazana wayiletha kimi? Ngiyidlile khathesi nje usuzafika, ngambusisa njalo ngempela uzakubusiswa!”
34 Mgbe Ịsọ nụrụ okwu ndị a si nʼọnụ nna ya, o jiri oke olu kwaa akwa nke obi ilu gwa nna ya sị ya, “Gọzie m, mụ onwe m, nna m.”
Kwathi u-Esawu ewezwa amazwi kayise, wakhala kakhulu okuzwisa ubuhlungu wathi kuyise, “Ngibusisa lami njalo, baba!”
35 Ma ọ zara sị ya, “Nwanne gị ejirila ụzọ aghụghọ bịa nara ngọzị gị.”
Kodwa wathi, “Umfowenu uze ngobuqili wathatha isibusiso sakho.”
36 Ịsọ kwuru sị, “E meziri kpọọ ya Jekọb, onye aghụghọ. Lee, ọ ghọgbuola m ugboro abụọ. Nke mbụ, ọ naara m ọnọdụ ịbụ ọkpara m, ugbu a ọ narakwala m ngọzị m.” Ọ jụrụ ajụjụ sị, “Ọ bụ na i nweghị ngọzị ọ bụla fọdụrụ nke ị ga-agọzi m?”
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 Aịzik zara sị ya, “Emeela m ya ka ọ bụrụ onyeisi nʼebe ị nọ, mee ụmụnna ya niile ndị na-ejere ya ozi. Enyela m ya mkpụrụ ubi niile na mmanya ọhụrụ. Gịnị ọzọ ka m nwere ike imere gị, nwa m nwoke?”
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 Ịsọ jụrụ nna ya sị, “Nna m, ọ bụ naanị otu ngọzị ka i nwere? Gọziekwa m nna m!” Ịsọ kwara akwa nʼoke olu.
U-Esawu wathi kuyise, “Kanti ulesibusiso esisodwa kuphela na baba? Ngibusisa lami, baba!” U-Esawu wasekhala kakhulu ephumisela.
39 Nna ya Aịzik zara sị ya, “Ebe obibi gị ga-adịpụ adịpụ, site nʼebe akụnụba nke ala dị, site nʼebe igirigi nke eluigwe dị.
Uyise u-Isaka wamphendula wathi, “Umuzi wakho uzakuba khatshana lokuvunda komhlaba, khatshana lamazolo asezulwini eliphezulu.
40 Nriju afọ gị ga-abụ site na mma agha, ị ga-ejekwara nwanne gị ozi. Ma mgbe i mesịrị nwere onwe gị, ị ga-atọpụ agbụ ya, site nʼolu gị.”
Uzaphila ngokusebenzisa inkemba njalo uzamkhonza umfowenu. Kodwa kuzakuthi lapho usudlubulunda, uzalilahla ijogwe lakhe lisuke entanyeni yakho.”
41 Ịsọ buru iro nʼobi megide Jekọb nʼihi ngọzị ahụ nna ya nyere ya. O kwuru nʼime onwe ya sị, “Oge a ga-eru ụjụ nʼihi nna m na-abịa nso, nʼoge ahụ aga m egbu nwanne m Jekọb.”
U-Esawu wabambela uJakhobe isikhwili ngenxa yesibusiso uyise ayemuphe sona. Wazitshela wathi, “Insuku zokulilela ubaba seziseduze; lapho-ke ngizambulala umfowethu uJakhobe.”
42 Mgbe a gwara Ribeka ihe nwa ya nwoke nke okenye bụ Ịsọ kwuru, o ziri kpọọ nwa ya nwoke nke nta bụ Jekọb sị ya, “Lee, Ịsọ nwanne gị na-akasị onwe ya obi site nʼechiche ọ na-eche igbu gị.
Kwathi uRabheka esezwile okwakutshiwo yindodana yakhe endala u-Esawu, wabiza indodana yakhe encinyane uJakhobe wathi kuye, “Umnewenu u-Esawu uziduduza ngomcabango wokuthi akubulale.
43 Nʼihi nke a, nwa m nwoke, mee ihe m gwara gị, gbapụ ọsọ ngwangwa, gbakwuru nwanne m Leban na Haran,
Ngakho-ke wena ndodana yami, yenza lokho engikutshela khona: Baleka masinyane uye kumfowethu uLabhani eHarani.
44 Nọdụ nʼebe ahụ ruo mgbe iwe nwanne gị ga-adajụ.
Uhlale khonale ulaka lomfowenu luze ludede.
45 Mgbe nwanne gị kwụsịrị iwe iwe megide gị, mgbe o chefuru ihe i mere ya, aga m ezitere gị ozi ka ị lọta. Nʼihi gịnị ka m ga-eji gbara aka unu abụọ nʼotu ụbọchị.”
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 Mgbe ahụ Ribeka gara gwa Aịzik sị, “Ike ịdị ndụ agwụla m nʼihi ndị inyom Het ndị a. Ọ bụrụ na Jekọb esite nʼetiti ndị inyom ala a, site nʼetiti ndị inyom Het ndị a lụọ nwunye, mara na ọnwụ ga-akara m ịdị ndụ mma.”
URabheka wasesithi ku-Isaka, “Ukuphila sokunginenga ngenxa yabafazi bamaHithi laba. Nxa uJakhobe engathatha umfazi ebafazini balelilizwe, abafazi bamaHithi abanje, ukuphila kwami kuyabe kungasasizi.”
