< Kenehi 27 >

1 Na, i a Ihaka kua koroheketia, kua atarua hoki nga kanohi, i kore ai ia e kite, ka karangatia e ia a Ehau, tana tama matamua, ka mea ki a ia, E taku tama: a ka mea ia ki a ia, Tenei ahau.
Kwathi u-Isaka eseluphele, amehlo akhe esethundubele okokuthi wayengasaboni, wabiza u-Esawu indodana yakhe endala wathi kuye, “Ndodana yami.” Waphendula wathi, “Ngilapha.”
2 Na ka mea ia, Nana, kua koroheke ahau, kahore hoki ahau e mohio ki te ra e mate ai ahau:
U-Isaka wathi, “Manje sengilixhegu, njalo kangilazi ilanga lami lokufa.
3 Na reira mauria e koe au rakau, tau papa pere me tau kopere, ka haere ki te koraha ki te hopu kai maku;
Thatha izikhali zakho, isikhwama semitshoko yakho ledandili lakho ungene iganga uyengizingelela inyamazana.
4 Ka taka ai i tetahi kai reka maku, hei taku i pai ai, ka mau mai ai ki ahau kia kai ahau; kia manaaki ai toku wairua i a koe i mua o toku matenga.
Ungilungisele ukudla okumnandi engikuthandayo ukulethe kimi lapha ngidle, ukuze ngikuphe isibusiso sami ngingakafi.”
5 A i rongo a Ripeka i te korerotanga a Ihaka ki a Ehau, ki tana tama. Na ko te haerenga o Ehau ki te koraha ki te hopu kai hei maunga mai mana.
URabheka wayelalele u-Isaka ekhuluma lendodana yakhe u-Esawu. Kwathi u-Esawu esephumile waya egangeni ukuyazingela inyamazana ukuze ayilethe,
6 Na ka korero a Ripeka ki a Hakopa, ki tana tama, ka mea, Nana, kua rongo ahau i tou papa e korero ana ki a Ehau, ki tou tuakana, e mea ana,
uRabheka wathi endodaneni yakhe uJakhobe, “Khangela, ngizwe uyihlo esithi kumnewenu u-Esawu
7 Mauria mai tetahi kai maku, ka taka ai i tetahi kai reka maku, kia kai ahau, kia manaaki ai ahau i a koe i te aroaro o Ihowa, kei mate ahau.
‘Ngilethela inyamazana ungilungisele ukudla okumnandi ngidle, ukuze ngikuphe isibusiso sami phambi kukaThixo ngingakafi.’
8 Na, whakarongo ki toku reo, e taku tama, kia rite ki taku e whakahau nei ki a koe.
Manje-ke lalela kuhle, ndodana yami, wenze lokho engikutshela khona:
9 Haere inaianei ki te kahui, ka mau mai ki ahau i reira kia rua nga kuao papai o nga koati; a maku ena e taka hei kai reka ma tou papa, hei pera me tana e pai ai:
Yana emhlambini ulethe lapha kimi amazinyane embuzi amabili anonileyo, ukuze ngilungisele uyihlo ukudla okumnandi ngendlela akuthanda ngayo.
10 A mau e kawe ki tou papa, kia kai ia, kia manaaki ai ia i a koe kei wha mate ia.
Wena ubusukusa kuyihlo adle, abesekunika isibusiso sakhe engakafi.”
11 Na ka mea a Hakopa ki a Ripeka, ki tona whaea, Na ko Ehau, ko toku tuakana, he tangata puhuruhuru, ko ahau ia he kiri maheni:
UJakhobe wathi kuRabheka unina, “Kodwa umnewethu u-Esawu lihwanqa, mina ngilejwabu elitshelelayo.
12 Tera pea toku papa e whawha i ahau, a ki tana ka rite ahau ki te tangata tinihanga: a he kanga te mea e riro mai i ahau, kahore he manaaki.
Pho ubaba angangibamba ke? Kuzabonakala ukuthi ngiyamqila ngibe sengizehlisele isiqalekiso phezu kwami esikhundleni sesibusiso.”
13 Na ko te meatanga a tona whaea ki a ia, Hei runga i ahau tou kanga, e taku tama: whakarongo mai ia ki toku reo, haere, tikina aua mea ki ahau.
Unina wathi kuye, “Ndodana yami, lesosiqalekiso kasehlele kimi. Wena yenza lokho engikutshela khona kuphela; hamba uyengithathela wona.”
14 Na ka haere ia, ka tikina, ka mauria mai ki tona whaea: a ka taka e tona whaea he kai reka, he pera me ta tona papa i pai ai.
Ngakho wahamba wayawathatha wawaletha kunina, yena walungisa ukudla okumnandi, ngaleyondlela eyayithandwa nguyise.
15 Na ka tikina e Ripeka nga kakahu papai o Ehau, o tana tama o mua, i a ia hoki aua mea i roto i te whare; a whakakakahuria ana e ia ki a Hakopa, ki tana tama o muri:
URabheka wasethatha izigqoko ezithandekayo zika-Esawu indodana yakhe endala, ezazikhona endlini, wazigqokisa indodana yakhe encane, uJakhobe.
16 A ka whakapiritia e ia nga hiako o nga kuao koati ki ona ringa, ki te wahi maeneene hoki o tona ka kai:
Wabuya wamgoqela izandla zakhe lentamo lapho okwakubutshelezi khona ngesikhumba sembuzi.
17 Na ka hoatu e ia te kai reka me te taro i hanga e ia ki te ringa o Hakopa, o tana tama.
Waseqhubela indodana yakhe uJakhobe ukudla lokho okumnandi kanye lesinkwa ayesenzile.
18 Na ka tae ia ki tona papa, ka mea, E toku matua: a ka mea a, Tenei ahau; ko wai koe, e taku ama?
Waya kuyise wafika wathi, “Baba.” Wasabela wathi, “Yebo, ndodana yami. Ngubani?”
19 Na ka mea a Hakopa ki tona papa, Ko Ehau ahau, ko tau matamua: kua oti i ahau tau i ki mai ai ki ahau: na maranga ake, e noho ki te kai i te kai i hopukia nei e ahau, kia manaaki ai tou wairua i ahau.
UJakhobe wathi kuyise, “Ngingu-Esawu izibulo lakho. Sengenzile njengokungilayela kwakho. Vuka uhlale udle inyama yami yenyamazana ukuze ungiphe isibusiso sakho.”
20 A ka mea a Ihaka ki tana tama, Na te aha i hohoro ai te kitea e koe, e taku tama? Ka mea ia, Na Ihowa hoki, na tou Atua, i homai kia hohoro.
U-Isaka wayibuza indodana yakhe wathi, “Uyizuze njani masinyane kangaka, ndodana yami?” Waphendula wathi, “uThixo uNkulunkulu wakho ungiphumelelisile.”
21 A ka mea a Ihaka ki a Hakopa, Nuku mai nei na, kia whawha ahau ki a koe, e taku tama, ko taku tama tonu ranei koe, ko Ehau, kahore ranei.
U-Isaka wasesithi kuJakhobe, “Sondela eduze ngikuthinte, ndodana yami, ukuze ngazi ngempela ukuthi uyiyo indodana yami u-Esawu noma hatshi.”
22 Na ka neke atu a Hakopa ki a Ihaka, ki tona papa, a ka whawha tera i a ia, ka mea, Ko te reo, no Hakopa te reo, ko nga ringa ia, no Ehau nga ringaringa.
UJakhobe wasondela kuyise u-Isaka wamthinta wathi, “Ilizwi ngelikaJakhobe, kodwa izandla yizandla zika-Esawu.”
23 A kihai ia i mohio ki a ia, no te mea he huruhuru ona ringa, i rite ki nga ringa o Ehau, o tona tuakana: na ka manaaki ia i a ia.
Kazange amazi ngoba izandla zakhe zaziloboya njengezikamnewabo u-Esawu; ngakho wambusisa.
24 A ka mea, Ko taku tama pu ranei koe, ko Ehau? A ka mea ia, Ko ahau tenei.
Wabuza wathi, “Kambe unguye na u-Esawu indodana yami?” Waphendula wathi, “Nginguye.”
25 Na ka mea ia, Kawea mai kia tata ki ahau, kia kai ahau i te kai i hopukia e taku tama, kia manaaki ai toku wairua i a koe. Na kawea atu ana e ia ki a ia, a ka kai ia: i mauria atu ano e ia he waina ki a ia, a inu ana ia.
Wasesithi, “Ndodana yami, ngipha inyama yakho yenyamazana ngidle, ukuze ngikuphe isibusiso sami.” UJakhobe wamupha wadla; waletha lewayini wanatha.
26 Katahi ka mea a Ihaka, tona papa, ki a ia, Nuku mai nei, ka kihi i ahau, e taku tama.
Uyise u-Isaka wathi kuye, “Woza lapha, ndodana yami, ungange.”
27 Na ka neke atu ia, a ka kihi ia i a ia: a ka hongi ia i te haunga o ona kakahu, ka manaaki i a ia, ka mea, Titiro hoki, rite tahi te haunga o taku tama ki te haunga o te parae i manaakitia e Ihowa:
Wasesiya kuye wamanga. Kwathi u-Isaka esewuzwile umnuko wezigqoko zakhe, wambusisa wathi, “Yeka, umnuko wendodana yami unjengomnuko wensimu uThixo ayibusisileyo.
28 Kia homai ano e te Atua ki a koe te tomairangi o te rangi, me te momonatanga o te whenua, kia nui ano hoki te witi me te waina:
Sengathi uNkulunkulu angakupha amazolo asezulwini lokuvunda komhlabathi, inala yamabele lewayini elitsha.
29 Kia mahi nga iwi ki a koe, kia piko iho hoki nga tauiwi ki a koe: kia waiho koe hei rangatira mo ou teina, a kia piko iho ki a koe nga tama a tou whaea: kia kanga te tangata e kanga ana i a koe, a kia manaakitia te tangata e manaaki ana i a koe.
Sengathi izizwe zingakukhonza labantu bakukhothamele. Ube yinkosi phezu kwabafowenu, njalo sengathi amadodana kanyoko angakukhothamela. Sengathi labo abakuqalekisayo labo baqalekiswe labakubusisayo babusiswe.”
30 A, mutu ana te manaaki a Ihaka i a Hakopa, puta kau atu ano a Hakopa i te aroaro o Ihaka, o tona papa, na ka tae mai a Ehau, tona tuakana, i tana hopu kirehe mohoao.
U-Isaka eseqedile ukumbusisa njalo uJakhobe esathi uyasuka kuyise, umnewabo u-Esawu wabengena evela zingela.
31 Kua oti ano hoki i a ia tetahi kai reka te taka, a kawea ana ki tona papa, na ka mea ki tona papa, Kia ara ake toku papa ki te kai i te mea i hopukia mai e tana tama, kia manaaki ai tou wairua i ahau.
Laye njalo walungisa ukudla okumnandi wakuletha kuyise. Wasesithi kuye, “Baba, vuka udle inyama yami yenyamazana, ukuze ungiphe isibusiso sakho.”
32 Na ka mea a Ihaka, tona papa, ki a ia, Ko wai koe? A ka mea ia, ko tau tama ahau, ko Ehau, ko tau matamua.
Uyise u-Isaka wambuza wathi, “Ungubani wena?” Waphendula wathi, “Ngiyindodana yakho, izibulo lakho u-Esawu.”
33 Na tino wiri rawa ana a Ihaka, a ka mea, Ha, ko wai ra tenei i hopukia nei e ia he kai, a kawea ana mai ki ahau, a kainga katoatia ana e ahau i te mea kahore ano koe i tae mai, a manaakitia ana ia e ahau? ae ra, ka manaakitia ano ia.
U-Isaka wathuthumela kakhulu wathi, “Kanti ubengubani ozingele inyamazana wayiletha kimi? Ngiyidlile khathesi nje usuzafika, ngambusisa njalo ngempela uzakubusiswa!”
34 A, i te rongonga o Ehau i nga kupu a tona papa, ka tangi ia, he tangi nui, he tangi tiwerawera, a ka mea ki tona papa, Manaakitia ahau, ae ra, ahau ano hoki, e toku papa.
Kwathi u-Esawu ewezwa amazwi kayise, wakhala kakhulu okuzwisa ubuhlungu wathi kuyise, “Ngibusisa lami njalo, baba!”
35 A ka mea ia, I haere tinihanga mai tou teina, a riro ana tou manaaki i a ia.
Kodwa wathi, “Umfowenu uze ngobuqili wathatha isibusiso sakho.”
36 Na ka mea ia, Ka tika ha te tapanga i a ia ko Hakopa? kua rua nei hoki oku mamingatanga e ia: ko toku matamuatanga kua riro i a ia; a inaianei kua riro toku manaaki i a ia. Ka mea ano ia, Kahore ranei i mahue atu ki a koe tetahi manaaki moku?
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 Na ka whakahoki a Ihaka, ka mea ki a Ehau, Na, kua waiho ia e ahau hei rangatira mou, kua hoatu hoki ona tuakana katoa ki a ia hei apa; kua whakaukia hoki ia e ahau ki te witi, ki te waina: a he aha ra mau hei meatanga maku, e taku tama?
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 Na ka mea a Ehau ki tona papa, Kotahi tonu ia tau manaaki, e toku papa? manaakitia ahau, ae ra, ahau ano hoki, e toku papa. Na nui atu te reo o Ehau ki te tangi.
U-Esawu wathi kuyise, “Kanti ulesibusiso esisodwa kuphela na baba? Ngibusisa lami, baba!” U-Esawu wasekhala kakhulu ephumisela.
39 Na ka whakahoki a Ihaka, tona papa, ka mea ki a ia, Na, no te momonatanga o te whenua te nohoanga mou, no te tomairangi hoki o te rangi i runga;
Uyise u-Isaka wamphendula wathi, “Umuzi wakho uzakuba khatshana lokuvunda komhlaba, khatshana lamazolo asezulwini eliphezulu.
40 Ma tau hoari hoki e ora ai koe, me mahi ano koe ki tou teina; a tenei ake, kei tou kakenga hei rangatira, na ka wahia atu e koe tana ioka i tou kaki.
Uzaphila ngokusebenzisa inkemba njalo uzamkhonza umfowenu. Kodwa kuzakuthi lapho usudlubulunda, uzalilahla ijogwe lakhe lisuke entanyeni yakho.”
41 Na ka mauahara a Ehau ki a Hakopa mo te manaaki i manaakitia ai ia e tona papa; a ka mea a Ehau i roto i tona ngakau, E tata ana nga ra e uhungatia ai toku papa; ko reira ahau patu ai i toku teina, i a Hakopa.
U-Esawu wabambela uJakhobe isikhwili ngenxa yesibusiso uyise ayemuphe sona. Wazitshela wathi, “Insuku zokulilela ubaba seziseduze; lapho-ke ngizambulala umfowethu uJakhobe.”
42 Na ka korerotia ki a Ripeka nga kupu a Ehau, a tana tama o mua: a ka tono tangata ia ki te karanga i a Hakopa, i tana tama o muri, ka mea ki a ia, Na, tenei tou tuakana, a Ehau, mo te wahi ki a koe, te whakamarie nei i a ia, te mea nei ki te pat u i a koe.
Kwathi uRabheka esezwile okwakutshiwo yindodana yakhe endala u-Esawu, wabiza indodana yakhe encinyane uJakhobe wathi kuye, “Umnewenu u-Esawu uziduduza ngomcabango wokuthi akubulale.
43 No konei, e taku tama, whakarongo ki toku reo; whakatika, e rere ki a Rapana, ki toku tungane, ki Harana;
Ngakho-ke wena ndodana yami, yenza lokho engikutshela khona: Baleka masinyane uye kumfowethu uLabhani eHarani.
44 Hei a ia koe noho ai mo etahi rangi, kia tahuri atu ra ano te aritarita o tou tuakana;
Uhlale khonale ulaka lomfowenu luze ludede.
45 Kia tahuri ke atu ra ano i a koe te riri a tou tuakana, kia wareware hoki i a ia tau i mea ai ki a ia: katahi ahau ka tono tangata ki te tiki atu i a koe i reira: he aha kia tangohia atu ai korua tokorua i ahau i te rangi kotahi?
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 Na ka mea a Ripeka ki a Ihaka, Kei te hoha ahau ki te ora i nga tamahine a Hete: ki te tango a Hakopa i tetahi wahine mana i roto i nga tamahine a Hete, i tetahi e penei ana me enei tamahine o te whenua nei, hei aha ake moku te ora?
URabheka wasesithi ku-Isaka, “Ukuphila sokunginenga ngenxa yabafazi bamaHithi laba. Nxa uJakhobe engathatha umfazi ebafazini balelilizwe, abafazi bamaHithi abanje, ukuphila kwami kuyabe kungasasizi.”
