1 Lebani mofavre naga'mo'za agriku'ma nehaza ke'ma Jekopu'ma antahi'neana amanage hu'naze, Jekopu'a nerafa zana maka eri vaganereno, nerafa zanteti agra feno vahe fore huno manie.
Wasesizwa amazwi amadodana kaLabani esithi: UJakobe uthethe konke okukababa; langalokho okwakungokukababa wenza lonke loludumo.
2 Hanki Jekopu'a Lebani avu'ava'ma keana ko'ma nehiaza osuno, avugosa hunenanteno ha' vahe'mo hiaza hu'ne.
UJakobe wasebona ubuso bukaLabani, futhi khangela, babunganjengamandulo kuye.
3 Ana nehigeno Ra Anumzamo'a anage huno Jekopuna asmi'ne, Nagra kagrane manigahuanki ete negafane vaheka'a moparega vuo.
INkosi yasisithi kuJakobe: Buyela elizweni laboyihlo lezihlotsheni zakho; njalo ngizakuba lawe.
4 Higeno Jekopu'a ana kema nentahino'a afu'zagama zamavareno ome zamate'noma mani'nerega e'ogu, Resoline, Liagiznirega ke atreznantegeke,
UJakobe wasethuma wababiza oRasheli loLeya emadlelweni emhlanjini wakhe,
5 anante akeno amanage huno zanasmi'ne, neranafa'a ko'ma nehiaza huno nagranena kiza zokago huno menina omanie. Hagi avugosamo'a ruzahu nehige'na negoe. Hianagi nenfa Anumzamo'a nagrane mani'ne.
wathi kibo: Ngiyabona ubuso bukayihlo ukuthi kabunjengamandulo kimi; kodwa uNkulunkulu kababa ube lami.
6 Nagrama neranafa eri'zama tusi namu'na sisi nehige'na hanaveni'a atre'nama eri'noana, tanagra nageta antahita hu'na'e.
Futhi lina liyazi ukuthi ngamandla ami wonke ngimsebenzele uyihlo.
7 Anama hu'nogura agesa ontahino, renavatga huno mizani'a 10ni'a zupa eri antenaga henka hu'ne. Hianagi Anumzamo'a atregeno nazeri havizana osu'ne.
Kodwa uyihlo ungikhohlisile, waphendula iholo lami okwezikhathi ezilitshumi, kanti uNkulunkulu kamvumelanga ukwenza okubi kimi.
8 Kora Lebani'a amanage huno nasmi'neane, maka'a tupri tapri azoka'ene afu'zaga eri'za enerina mizanka'e, higeno tupri tapri ke'za fore hu'ne. Hagi agrono tegre ramira mizanka'e hiana, anazanke hu'ne.
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 E'ina higeno Anumzamo'a neranafa azampintira memeramine, sipisipiramine, rama'a nagri avre nami vagare'ne.
Ngokunjalo uNkulunkulu uthethe izifuyo zikayihlo, wanginika.
10 Hanki afu'zagamo'ma agafima ahea knafi amanahu ava'na ke'noe. Maka'a ve mememofo avufgarera tupri tapri ene agrono krerami krerami hu'nea azoka me'nege'na negogeno, a' mememofo agumpina mareri'ne.
Kwasekusithi, ngesikhathi umhlambi umitha, ngaphakamisa amehlo ami ngabona ephutsheni, khangela-ke, izimpongo ezikhwela umhlambi zazingamaqamule, zilamabala, lezizinala.
11 Anumzamofo ankeromo'a ava'nafi amanage huno nagia ahe'ne. Jekopuo! Hige'na ama mani'noe hu'na hugeno,
Ingilosi kaNkulunkulu yasisithi kimi ephutsheni: Jakobe! Ngathi: Khangela ngilapha.
12 Anumzamofo ankeromo'a amanage hu'ne, tupri tapri'ene avon krerami'nea ve meme zagamo'a a' meme agumpima marerime neviana, kesga hunka ko, Lebani'ma maka'a avu'ava zama hunegante'mofona, Nagra ko ke'noe.
Yasisithi: Ake uphakamise amehlo akho ubone, zonke impongo ezikhwela umhlambi zingamaqamule, zilamabala lezizinala; ngoba ngibonile konke uLabani akwenze kuwe.
13 Nagra Betelima efore'ma hugenka have eri atru hunka masave taginka frenentenka navufi huvempa hu'nana Anumzamo'na nehuanki menina otinka ama kumara atrenka, fore'ma hu'nana kumatega vuo huno hu'ne.
NginguNkulunkulu weBhetheli lapho owagcoba khona insika, owathembisa khona isithembiso kimi. Khathesi, vuka, uphume kulelilizwe, ubuyele elizweni lokuzalwa kwakho.
14 Higeke Resolike, Liakea ana naneke nentahi'ne, amanage hu'na'e. Tagra nerafa afu fenompintira mago'zama erisu'a zana huhampri orante'neanki, na'a hugahu'e?
ORasheli loLeya baphendula bathi kuye: Siselesabelo lelifa endlini kababa yini?
15 Hagi nerfa'a ko hurantegeta ruregati emani vahe kna hu'noe. Tagrira ko mizante tatre'ne, Tagriteti afufeno eriana ko ana afu fenona atre hana hu'ne.
Kasibalwa njengabezizwe kuye yini? Ngoba wasithengisa, futhi wadla lokudla imali yethu.
16 Tamage nerfa azampinti Anumzamo'a maka zana kagri hanare kamiana, e'i ana maka zana tagri'ene mofavre'tine suzane. E'ina hu'negu Anumzamo'ma kasami'niaza huo.
Ngoba inotho yonke uNkulunkulu ayemuke ubaba ingeyethu leyabantwana bethu; khathesi-ke, konke uNkulunkulu akutsho kuwe, kwenze.
17 Hagi Jekopu'a maka a'mofavre'a, kemori afutamimofo zamagumpi zamavarentere nehuno,
UJakobe wasesukuma, wakhweza amadodana akhe labomkakhe emakameleni;
18 maka'a afu'ane, fenoma'ane emani'neno eritru hu'nea zana zogi hana huno Padan-Aram mopa atreno, Kenani moparega nefa Aisaki'ma mani'nerega vu'ne.
waqhuba izifuyo zakhe zonke, layo impahla yakhe yonke abeyizuzile, izifuyo zenzuzo yakhe, ayezizuze ePadani-Arama, ukuze aye kuIsaka uyise elizweni leKhanani.
19 Hagi Lebani'a afete umani'neno, sipisipi azoka neharegeno, Kenanima vunaku'ma retrotra nehazageno'a, Resoli'a nompi marerino Lebani'ma havi anumzante mono hunentea zana, musufa seno erino vu'ne.
Njalo uLabani esehambile ukuyagunda izimvu zakhe, uRasheli weba izithombe uyise ayelazo.
20 Jekopu'a Arameania nera Lebanina osami revatga nehuno freno vu'ne.
UJakobe wasuka enyenya engananzelelwe kuLabani umSiriya, ngoba kamazisanga ukuthi uyabaleka.
21 Jekopu'a maka zama'a enerino otino fre'no vuno, Yufretis tina takaheno Gileati agonarega avugosa hunteno vu'ne.
Wasebaleka, yena lakho konke ayelakho, wasukuma, wachapha umfula, wakhangelisa ubuso bakhe entabeni yeGileyadi.
22 Hagi taregna evutege'za anante knazupa mago'a vahe'mo'za, Jekopu'a hago katreno fre'ne hu'za Lebanina ome asami'naze.
Kwasekusaziswa uLabani ngosuku lwesithathu ukuthi uJakobe ubalekile.
23 Lebani'a ananke nentahino naga'a nezamavareno Jekopuna arotgo hu'za vu'naze. Hagi agene re'nazana 7ni'a hanine, zagene karanka mase'naze. Hagi Jekopu'a Gileati agonafi mani'nege'za ome azeri'naze.
Wasethatha abafowabo kanye laye, waxotshana laye ibanga lensuku eziyisikhombisa, wamfica entabeni yeGileyadi.
24 Hianagi Anumzamo'a Arameani ne' Lebanina kenage ava'nafi efore humino anage huno asami'ne, Kva huo, Jekopuna magore hunka so'e kefi havigea huonto.
UNkulunkulu wasesiza kuLabani umSiriya ephutsheni lebusuku, wathi kuye: Ziqaphele, hlezi ukhulume loJakobe okuhle kumbe okubi.
25 Jekopu'a seli no omegino agonafi mase'negeno, Lebani'a ana agonafi Jekopu'na ome azeri'ne. Hagi Lebani'a vahe'ane mago kaziga seli no omegino, Gileati agonafi mase'naze.
ULabani wasemfica uJakobe. Njalo uJakobe wayemise ithente lakhe entabeni; uLabani laye kanye labafowabo bamisa entabeni yeGileyadi.
26 Lebani'a anage huno Jekopuna asami'ne, Kagra nahigenka renavatga hutenka mofani'ararena hapinti kina huzmante'za zamavare'za frazankna hunka zamavarenka e'nane?
ULabani wasesithi kuJakobe: Wenzeni, ukuthi usuke unyenye ngingananzelele, uthathe amadodakazi ami ngamandla njengabathunjiweyo ngenkemba?
27 Nahigenka okura frenka renavatga hu'nane, nasminke'nasinia, muse nehu'za tambori'nine, zavena nehe'za hugantagenka tatrenka asine.
Ubalekeleni ngasese, unginyenyela, ungangazisanga, ukuthi ngabe ngikuvalelise ngokuthokoza langengoma, ngesigubhu langechacho?
28 Hagi nahigenka nasminke'na nagehe'ine, mofani'ararena zamantako nehu'na huso'e huzmantogenka zamavarenka ome'nane? Kagra mago kefo avu'avaza hu'nane.
Njalo kawungivumelanga ukuthi ngange amadodana ami lamadodakazi ami. Khathesi wenze ubuthutha ngokwenza lokho.
29 Nagrira hanaveni'a me'neankina, kagrira ha' kahenaku e'noanagi, meni kenagera masenogeno negafa Anumzamo'a amanage huno nasmi'ne, Jekopuna azeri koro osuo, magore hunka havi keo, so'e keo huonto huno nasmi'ne.
Kusemandleni esandla sami ukwenza okubi kini; kodwa uNkulunkulu kayihlo ukhulumile kimi ebusuku obudlulileyo wathi: Ziqaphele ukuthi ungakhulumi loJakobe okuhle kumbe okubi.
30 Nagra antahi'noe natrenka'ma anana, na'ankure negafa nonku tusiza huno kvenesigenke. Hianagi nahigenka anumzani'a noni'afintira kumzafa senka e'nane?
Khathesi-ke, ukuhamba uhambile, ngoba ngokukhanuka ukhanukile indlu kayihlo; webeleni onkulunkulu bami?
31 Higeno Jekopu'a ana kemofo nona'a amanage huno Lebanina asami'ne, Na'ankure nagrama antahuana hanavetinka mofa trenka'a hanaregahane nehu'na koro hu'na oku'a e'no'e.
UJakobe wasephendula wathi kuLabani: Ngoba ngesaba, ngoba wathi: Hlezi ungihluthunele amadodakazi akho.
32 Aza'o mago'mo'ma ana anumzanka'a erino e'nesnimofona hakrenka erifore hanankeno'a, anamo'a frigahie. Nege'nagenka nagati'amofo zamufi mago'a kagri zama nagri fenompima me'neniana erigahane. Hagi Resoli'ma musufa seno e'negura Jekopu'a ontahi'neno, anahu kea hu'ne.
Lowo ozathola kuye onkulunkulu bakho kangaphili; phambi kwabafowethu zinanzelelele okungokwakho okukimi, uzithathele. Ngoba uJakobe wayengazi ukuthi uRasheli wayebebile.
33 Lebani'a, Jekopu seli nompi ome agafa huno hakreteno, Lia seli nompi ome keteno, tare eri'za a' tremokizni seli nompi keme viana onke'ne. Anantera Lia seli nona atreno Resoli seli nompi umareri'ne.
ULabani wasengena ethenteni likaJakobe lethenteni likaLeya, lethenteni lezincekukazi ezimbili, kodwa katholanga. Waphuma ethenteni likaLeya, wangena ethenteni likaRasheli.
34 Resoli'a ana havi anumza erino vuno kemorimofo agofetu ante'za nemaniza tra'mofo agu'afinka ome anteteno, agofetu manino rentrako hu'ne. Hagi Lebani'a hakreno vano hiana keno eri fore osu'ne.
Kodwa uRasheli wayethethe izithombe, wazifaka esikhwameni sesihlalo sekamela, wahlala phezu kwazo. ULabani waphumputha ithente lonke kodwa katholanga.
35 Resoli'a amanage huno nefana asami'ne, O'maotisnua zankura ranimoka kea onasuo, ika kri'ma enerua kna ege'na mani'noe. Lebani'a maka zampina hakreno keno eviana ana havi anumzama'a kefore osu'ne.
Wasesithi kuyise: Kalungavuthi ulaka emehlweni enkosi yami ukuthi ngingesukume phambi kwakho, ngoba indlela yabesifazana ikimi. Wabhudula, kodwa kazitholanga izithombe.
36 Jekopuna asi vazigeno ke ha' Lebanina renteno, Lebaninkura amanage hu'ne, Nagra mago zanka'a eri haviza hu'nogenka amanahura nehano? Naza mago havizana hugante'nogenka navaririnka ne-enka, haha'ene kea hunenantane?
UJakobe wasethukuthela, waphikisana loLabani; uJakobe waphendula wathi kuLabani: Isiphambeko sami siyini, isono sami siyini, ukuthi ungixotshe ngokutshiseka?
37 Nagri feno zama re'nanana, naza magora kagri zana nonka'afintira eri'na e'nogenka hakrenka erifore hane? Hakrenkama erifore hu'nenunka, tavufi eri atru hugeta, nagri vahe'ene, kagri vahe enena negeta eri fatgo ha'mneno.
Njengoba usubambabambe kuyo impahla yami yonke, utholeni okwayo impahla yonke yendlu yakho? Ibeke lapha phambi kwabafowethu labafowenu ukuze baqume phakathi kwethu sobabili.
38 Hagi 20'a kafumofo agu'afima eri'za erigante'noana a' sipisipimo'o, a' mememo'o magore huno anentara kase havizana, nosige'na ve sipisipi afu zagaka'afintira magore hu'na ahena one'noe.
Iminyaka le engamatshumi amabili ngangilawe; izimvukazi zakho lezibhuzikazi zakho kaziphunzanga, lezinqama zemihlambi yakho kangizidlanga.
39 Hanki afi zagamo'ma afu'zagama aheno nege'na, kagrira eme onkasami'na, ferupi kenagepi afu'zagafinti kumazafa sazage'na, nona'a nagra'a suampinti avre'na kegina ka'afi eme antetere hu'noe.
Ezadatshulwayo kangizilethanga kuwe, mina ngazihlawula; esandleni sami wazibiza, zebiwe emini loba zebiwe ebusuku.
40 Ana nehu'na zage knafina zage hara tusiza huno nave'nesigeno, kenagera tusiza huno zasimo'a nazeri kragenefege'na, magore hu'na navura mase so'e hutere osu'noe.
Nganginjalo emini imbalela yangidla, lamakhaza ebusuku, ubuthongo babaleka emehlweni ami.
41 Hagi nagra kagri nompina e'inahu zana 20'a zagegafu hu'noe. Nagra 14ni'a zagegfufi tarega mofaka'ama eri'nakura eri'zana eri'noe. 6si'a kafufina afu'zagaka'ama kegava hu eri'za eri'noe. Ana nehugenka mizani'a 10ni'a zupa eri fenka anaga hu'nane.
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 Hianagi nenageho Abrahamu Anumzama, nafa'nia Aisaki'ma koro hunenteno mono'ma hunentea Anumzamo'ma nagranema omani'nesina, antahuana kagra menina naza navapa hunantanke'na osine. Hianagi narimpa knazampi mani'noa zane hanave eri'zama eri'noa zanena Anumzamo'a nenageno, kenagera hanavetino nanekea eme hugantene.
Ngaphandle kokuthi uNkulunkulu kababa, uNkulunkulu kaAbrahama lokwesaba kukaIsaka ubengelami, isibili khathesi ubuzangixotsha ngize. Inhlupheko zami lomtshikatshika wezandla zami uNkulunkulu ubonile, wakusola izolo ebusuku.
43 Lebani'a ke nona amanage huno Jekopuna asmi'ne, Tare mofatrena nagri mofatre mani'na'e. Hanki mofavre zaga nagri mofavre zage, afu'zaga nagri afu'zage, maka zama neganana nagrike zane. Hianagi mofatreni'ane mofavrema kase zamante'na'ana menina nagra inankna huzmantegahue?
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 E'ina hu'negu menina egeta, naneke huvempa huteta, have zogita emeri atru huntesukeno amu'nonti'afi me'nena, henka ama ana avamezama negenuta'a, amama huhagerafu'a zankura tagesa antahitere hugahu'e.
Khathesi-ke, woza, asenze isivumelwano, mina lawe, njalo sibe yibufakazi phakathi kwami lawe.
45 Jekopu'a mago avame'za za'za have ome erino anante retrureno asenenteno,
UJakobe wasethatha ilitshe, walimisa laba yinsika.
46 naga'a ke hige'za mago'ene havea eri'za anante kevu vazintete'za, ana have kevumofo tvaonte kave ne'naze.
UJakobe wasesithi kubafowabo: Buthani amatshe. Basebethatha amatshe, benza inqumbi; badla khona phezu kwenqumbi.
47 Lebani'a ana havemofo agi'a Jegar-sahaduta'e huno Aramea kefina nehuno, Ama have atrumo huragesa hugahie huno ante'ne. Hianagi Jekopu'a Hibru kefina Galitie huno agi'a nenteno, ama have atrumo hu tagesa hugahie huno ante'ne.
ULabani waseyibiza ngokuthi yiJegari-Sahadutha, kodwa uJakobe wayibiza ngokuthi yiGaledi.
48 Lebani'a amanage hu'ne, amama eritru hu'a havemo menina avame'za amu'nonti'afina megahie. Hu'ne nehu'ne ana havemofo agi'a Galitie hu'ne ante'na'e.
ULabani wasesithi: Linqwaba iyibufakazi phakathi kwami lawe lamuhla. Ngakho bayitha ibizo layo iGaledi,
49 Ete mago agi'a Mizpae hu'ne ante'na'e. Lebani'a amanage hu'ne. Tagra afete mani'neta oge age osuta mani'neta maka avu'ava'ma hanu'ana, Ra Anumzamo agrake tagegahie.
leMizipa, ngoba wathi: INkosi kayilinde phakathi kwami lawe, lapho singabonani omunye lomunye.
50 Hagi kagrama mofa'nimokizni hazenke ati zanamige, mago ru a'ne erige hananana, amunonti'afina magora vahera omani'nazanki Anumzamo agrake tagegahie.
Uba uhlupha amadodakazi ami, njalo uba uthatha abafazi phezu kwamadodakazi ami, kakulamuntu olathi, bona, uNkulunkulu ungumfakazi phakathi kwami lawe.
51 Lebani'a mago'ene Jekopuna anage huno asami'ne, Antahio, za'za havema asento'a negenka, amama oti'no'a amu'nontiafima eri atru hu'a havea ko.
ULabani wasesithi kuJakobe: Khangela linqwaba, khangela-ke lensika engiyiphosileyo phakathi kwami lawe.
52 Amama mani'neta huvempa huta asento'a havemo, amu'nontiafi me'nena, nagra ama ana havea agatere'na krimpa eri haviza hu'zana osugahue. Hagi kagra eri atru hunto'a havene, asento'a havene agaterenka narimpa eri havizana osuo.
Linqwaba kayibe yibufakazi, lensika kayibe yibufakazi, bokuthi mina kangiyikuyidlula linqwaba ngiye kuwe, lawe kawuyikuyidlula linqwaba lalinsika uze kimi ngokubi.
53 Hagi Abrahamu Anumzane, Nahori Anumzane, neznafa Anumzamo amu'nontiafina refko hurantegahie. Hagi Jekopu'a nefa Aisaki'ma koro hunenteno mono'ma hunentea Anumzamofonte huvempa hu'ne.
UNkulunkulu kaAbrahama loNkulunkulu kaNahori, kahlulele phakathi kwethu, uNkulunkulu kayise wabo. UJakobe wasefunga ngokwesaba kayise uIsaka.
54 Jekopu'a e'i ana agonafi Kresramana vu ne'za kreno Anumzamofontega ofa hunenteno naga'a zamagi hutru hige'za nete'za, ana agonafi mase'naze.
UJakobe wasehlaba umhlatshelo entabeni, wabiza abafowabo ukuthi badle isinkwa; basebesidla isinkwa, balala entabeni.
55 Lebani'a nanterame otino mofatrema'ane, agehe'ine nezmavatagino zamantako nehuno, asomu ke huzmante'ne. Ana huteno, Lebani'a kuma'arega ete vu'ne.
ULabani wasevuka ekuseni kakhulu, wanga amadodana akhe lamadodakazi akhe, wawabusisa; uLabani wasehamba wabuyela endaweni yakhe.
