1 Awo Yakobo ne yeeyongerayo mu lugendo lwe, n’atuuka mu nsi y’abantu b’ebuvanjuba.
Yakob toaa nʼakwantu so koduu apueifo asase so.
2 Bwe yatunula n’alaba oluzzi mu nnimiro, ng’ebisibo bisatu eby’endiga zigalamidde awo ku lwo, kubanga awo we zaanywesezebwanga. Ejjinja eryasaanikiranga ku mumwa gw’oluzzi olwo lyali ddene,
Asase no so baabi na okohuu abura bi a nguankuw abiɛsa butubutuw ho. Efisɛ saa abura no mu nsu na na wɔsaw ma nguan no nom. Na ɔbo kɛse bi na ɛkata abura no so.
3 era ebisibo bwe byakuŋŋaananga, abasumba ne balyoka baliyiringisa okuliggya ku mumwa gw’oluzzi ne banywesa endiga; bwe zaamalanga ne balizzaako.
Bere biara a nguankuw no bɛboa wɔn ho ano wɔ hɔ no, nguanhwɛfo no pirew ɔbo no fi abura no ano ma nguan no nsu nom. Sɛ nguan no nom nsu no wie a, na nguanhwɛfo no asan de ɔbo no akata abura no ano.
4 Awo Yakobo n’abuuza abasumba nti, “Abooluganda muva wa?” Ne bamuddamu nti, “Tuva Kalani.”
Yakob bisaa wɔn se, “Anuanom, mufi he na mobaa ha?” Wobuaa Yakob se, “Yefi Haran.”
5 Kwe kubabuuza nti, “Labbaani mutabani wa Nakoli mumumanyi?” Ne bamuddamu nti, “Tumumanyi.”
Yakob san bisaa wɔn se, “Munim Nahor nena Laban ana?” Nguanhwɛfo no nso buaa no se, “Yiw, yenim no.”
6 N’abuuza nti, “Ali bulungi?” Ne baddamu nti, “Ali bulungi, era laba Laakeeri muwala we wuuli ajja n’endiga!”
Na Yakob bisaa wɔn se, “Na ne ho te dɛn?” Wobuaa no se, “Ne ho ye. Na ne babea Rahel koraa na ɔne ne nguan reba yi.”
7 N’abagamba nti, “Mulabe, obudde bukyali bwa ttuntu, ekiseera tekinnatuuka okukuŋŋaanya ensolo awamu, muzinywese mulyoke mugende muzirunde.”
Yakob kae se, “Monhwɛ. Owia no ano yɛ den dodo. Bere a ɛsɛ sɛ wɔboaboa mmoa no ano nnui. Momma wɔn nsu nnom, na monka wɔn nkɔ wɔn adidibea.”
8 Bo kwe kumuddamu nti, “Ekyo tetusobola kukikola ng’ebisibo byonna tebinnakuŋŋaanyizibwa, nga n’ejjinja terinaggyibwa ku mumwa gw’oluzzi, olwo ne tunywesa endiga.”
Nguanhwɛfo no buaa Yakob se, “Sɛ yɛmmoaboaa nguan no nyinaa ano, na yempirew ɔbo no mfii abura no ano a, yɛrentumi mma wɔn nsu nnom.”
9 Yakobo bwe yali akyayogera nabo, Laakeeri n’atuuka n’endiga za kitaawe. Kubanga ye yali azirunda.
Yakob gu so ne wɔn rekasa no ara na Rahel a ɔno nso yɛ oguanhwɛfo no de nʼagya nguan baa hɔ.
10 Yakobo bwe yalaba Laakeeri, muwala wa Labbaani, mwannyina nnyina, n’endiga za Labbaani, n’agenda n’ayiringisa ejjinja okuva ku mumwa gw’oluzzi n’anywesa endiga za Labbaani.
Bere a Yakob huu ne na nuabarima Laban babea Rahel ne ne wɔfa Laban nguan no, okopirew ɔbo no fii abura no ano. Afei, wɔmaa nguan no nsu nomee.
11 Yakobo n’alyoka agwa Laakeeri mu kifuba, n’ayimusa eddoboozi n’akaaba.
Afei, Yakob few Rahel ano, na osui.
12 Yakobo n’alyoka ategeeza Laakeeri nti, waluganda ne kitaawe, era ye mutabani wa Lebbeeka. Laakeeri kwe kudduka n’ategeeza kitaawe.
Na Yakob aka akyerɛ Rahel se, ɔno Yakob yɛ Rahel no agya busuani a ɔsan yɛ nʼagya Laban no nuabea Rebeka babarima. Enti Rahel tuu mmirika kɔka kyerɛɛ nʼagya.
13 Awo Labbaani bwe yawulira ebya Yakobo, mutabani wa mwannyina, n’adduka okumusisinkana, n’amugwa mu kifuba n’amulamusa bulungi, n’amutwala mu nnyumba ye. Yakobo n’ategeeza Labbaani byonna ebyaliwo.
Laban tee ne nuabea Rebeka ba Yakob ho asɛm no, ɔyɛɛ ntɛm kohyiaa no. Laban yɛɛ no atuu, few nʼano, de no baa ne fi maa Yakob bɔɔ no nʼanantese.
14 Labbaani n’agamba nti, “Mazima oli ggumba lyange, era nnyama ya mubiri gwange! N’abeera naye omwezi mulamba.”
Laban ka kyerɛɛ no se, “Woyɛ me dehye.” Na Yakob tenaa Laban nkyɛn ɔsram.
15 Awo Labbaani n’agamba Yakobo nti, “Olw’okubanga oli waluganda ky’onoova ompeerereza obwereere? Ntegeeza empeera yo bw’eneebanga.”
Da koro bi, Laban ka kyerɛɛ Yakob se, “Ɛwɔ mu sɛ woyɛ me busuani de, nanso ɛno nkyerɛ sɛ, sɛ woyɛ adwuma ma me a ɛnsɛ sɛ mitua wo ka. Kyerɛ me akatua a wopɛ na memfa mma wo.”
16 Labbaani yalina bawala be babiri; erinnya ly’omukulu nga ye Leeya ne ly’omuto nga ye Laakeeri.
Na Laban wɔ mmabea baanu. Na ɔpanyin no din de Lea na akumaa no nso de Rahel.
17 Leeya yali manafu, kyokka ye Laakeeri nga mulungi era nga w’amaanyi.
Na Lea aniwa aba yɛ fɛ, na Rahel yɛ ɔbea fɛfɛ a nʼanim yɛ nyam yiye.
18 Yakobo yayagala Laakeeri, era n’agamba Labbaani nti, “Nzija kukuweereza emyaka musanvu olwa muwala wo omuto Laakeeri.”
Na Yakob dɔ Rahel wɔ aware kwan so, nti ɔka kyerɛɛ Rahel agya Laban se, “Sɛ wode wo babea kumaa Rahel bɛma me aware a, anka me nso mɛsom wo mfe ason.”
19 Labbaani kwe kumuddamu nti, “Kituufu okumuwa ggwe ne ssimuwa musajja mulala yenna. Beera nange.”
Laban kae se, “Mepene so! Eye sɛ mede no bɛma wo aware mmom sen sɛ mede no bɛma obi foforo bi a minnim no. Enti tena me nkyɛn.”
20 Bw’atyo Yakobo n’akolerera Laakeeri emyaka musanvu, naye ne giba ng’ennaku obunaku gy’ali kubanga yamwagala nnyo.
Esiane ɔdɔ a na Yakob dɔ Rahel nti, ɔsom Laban mfe ason, na wanhu koraa sɛ wasom akyɛ saa. Ɛyɛɛ no sɛ gyama ɔsomee nnansa bi pɛ.
21 Awo Yakobo n’agamba Labbaani nti, “Kale mpa mukazi wange, mmutwale, kubanga ekiseera kye twalagaana nkimazeeko.”
Yakob som wiee no, ɔka kyerɛɛ Laban se, “Masom awie nti, fa Rahel ma me na menware no.”
22 Labbaani kwe kukuŋŋaanya abantu b’ekifo ekyo, n’akola embaga.
Ɛno nti, Laban too pon kɛse, na ɔtoo nsa frɛɛ nnipa a na ɔne wɔn wɔ hɔ nyinaa baa aponto no ase.
23 Naye mu kiro Labbaani n’atwala muwala we Leeya n’amuwa Yakobo okumutwala okuba mukazi we.
Na eduu anadwo a sum aduru no, Laban de ne babea Lea kɔmaa Yakob, maa ɔne no dae.
24 Labbaani yali awadde Leeya Zirupa amuweerezenga.
Ɛno akyi no, Laban de nʼafenaa Silpa kaa Lea ho sɛ ɔnkɔsom no.
25 Bwe bwakya, Yakobo n’alaba nga bamuwadde Leeya. Kwe kugamba Labbaani nti, “Onkoze ki kino? Saakuweereza lwa Laakeeri? Kale lwaki onimbye?”
Ade kyee no, ohuu sɛ Lea mmom na ɔda nʼakyi. Ɛnna Yakob bisaa Laban se, “Asɛm bɛn na wo ne me adi yi? Ɛnyɛ Rahel nti na mesom wo? Adɛn nti na woadaadaa me sɛɛ?”
26 Labbaani n’amuddamu nti, “Mu nsi yaffe tekiri mu buwangwa bwaffe, omuto okusooka omukulu okufumbirwa.
Laban buaa Yakob se, “Ɛha de, ɛnyɛ yɛn amanne sɛ yɛde ɔbabea kumaa ma aware wɔ bere a ɔpanyin no nwaree ɛ.
27 Sooka omale n’ono wiiki eno emu, n’oli tugenda kumukuwa; kyokka olimukolerera okumala emyaka emirala musanvu.”
Ma Lea nni nnaawɔtwe wɔ wo nkyɛn, na nnaawɔtwe no akyi no, sɛ wopɛ Rahel ara a, mɛma woasan asom mfirihyia ason bio, na mede no ama wo aware.”
28 Ekyo Yakobo n’akikkiriza, n’amalako wiiki emu eyo, Labbaani n’alyoka amuwa Laakeeri muwala we okuba mukazi we.
Yakob penee so ne Lea tenaa nnaawɔtwe. Ɛno akyi no, ɔsom mfe ason ansa na Laban de ne babea Rahel nso maa no waree.
29 Labbaani n’awa Laakeeri Biira amuweerezenga.
Laban de nʼafenaa Bilha nso maa ne babea Rahel sɛ ɔnkɔsom no.
30 Yakobo n’atwala Laakeeri n’aba mukazi we; n’ayagala Laakeeri okusinga Leeya, n’aweereza Labbaani emyaka egyo emirala omusanvu.
Yakob de ne ho kaa Rahel nso. Na ɔdɔ Rahel sen Lea. Yakob tenaa Laban nkyɛn, som no mfirihyia ason bio sɛnea ɔne no hyehyɛe no.
31 Mukama bwe yalaba nga Leeya akyayibbwa n’aggula olubuto lwe. Laakeeri ye yali mugumba.
Awurade huu sɛ Yakob ani nnye Lea ho no, obuee ne yafunu mu, nanso Rahel de, na ɔnwo.
32 Leeya n’aba olubuto, n’azaala omwana wabulenzi. N’amutuuma erinnya Lewubeeni, ng’agamba nti, “Kubanga Mukama alabye okubonyaabonyezebwa kwange: ddala baze ananjagala.”
Lea nyinsɛn woo ɔbabarima. Ɔtoo no din Ruben a nkyerɛase ne “Awurade ahu mmɔbɔ a meyɛ.” Na Lea kae se, “Awurade ahu me mmɔbɔ. Nokware, afei na me kunu ani begye me ho.”
33 N’aba olubuto olulala, n’azaala omwana mulenzi, n’agamba nti, “Kubanga Mukama alabye nga ndi mukyawe, kyavudde ampa omwana owoobulenzi omulala; n’amutuuma erinnya Simyoni.”
Lea nyinsɛnee bio na ɔsan woo ɔbabarima bio no, ɔkae se, “Esiane sɛ Awurade huu sɛ me kunu ani nnye me ho nti, wasan akyɛ me ɔbabarima bio.” Enti, ɔtoo ne din Simeon a nkyerɛase ne “Awurade ate!”
34 Ate n’aba olubuto n’azaala omwana mulenzi, n’agamba nti, “Kale kaakano baze ajja kuba bumu nange, kubanga mmuzaalidde abaana abalenzi basatu.” Omwana kyeyava atuumwa Leevi.
Lea san nyinsɛnee bio. Na ɔwoo ɔbabarima bio no, ɔkae se, “Afei de, me kunu de ne ho bɛfam me ho, efisɛ mawo mmabarima baasa ama no.” Ɛno nti, ɔtoo no din Lewi a nkyerɛase ne “Ahofam.”
35 Era Leeya n’aba olubuto n’azaala omwana wabulenzi, n’agamba nti, “Ku luno nzija kutendereza Mukama,” kyeyava amutuuma Yuda; n’alekayo okuzaala.
Lea san nyinsɛnee. Bere a ɔsan woo ɔbabarima bio no, ɔkae se, “Saa bere yi de, mɛkamfo Awurade.” Ɛno nti, ɔtoo no din Yuda, a ne nkyerɛase ne “Nkamfo.” Eyi akyi no, ɔhomee awo so.
