Aisaki'a 40'a zagegafu huteno Rebekana Betueli mofa eri'ne, Lebani'a Aramea nekino, Mesopotamia mopareti ne'mofo nesaro erigeno, nenaro'za hu'ne.

21 U-Isaka wakhuleka kuThixo ekhulekela umkakhe ngoba wayeyinyumba. UThixo wawuphendula umkhuleko wakhe, umkakhe uRabheka wazithwala.

Rebeka'a mofavre ontegeno, Aisaki'a Ra Anumzamofontega nenaro agi erino nunamu higeno, Ra Anumzamo'a nunamuma'a antahi'migeno, Rebeka'a amu'ene hu'ne.

22 Abantwana bafuqana phakathi kwakhe, wathi, “Kungani lokhu kusenzakala kimi?” Ngakho wasehamba wayabuza kuThixo.

Hianagi tare mofavreraremoke arimpafintira kanive nerakeno anage hu'ne, amazana na'a nehie, nehuno Anumzamofona antahige'ne.

23 UThixo wathi kuye, “Izizwe ezimbili zisesiswini sakho, njalo abantu ababili phakathi kwakho bazakwehlukaniswa; omunye uzakuba lamandla kulomunye, kuthi omdala uzakhonza omncinyane.”

Ra Anumzamo'a amanage huno asami'ne, Tare kumamoke krimpafina mani'na'e, hiankino tare'mokea arure arure kavufgafinti vu'ne e'ne hugaha'e. Mago'mo'a hanavetina, mago'mo'a hanave otigahie. Ese'ma fore'ma hanimo'a, henkama fore hanimofo eri'za vahe manigahie.

24 Kwathi isikhathi sakhe sokubeletha sesifikile, kwakulamaphahla angabafana esiswini sakhe.

Hagi mofavrema kasente knama egeno'a, tare kugaveza mofavre arimpafi mani'na'e.

25 Owabona ilanga kuqala wayebomvu, umzimba wakhe wonke ulihwanqa njengengubo yoboya; yikho bamutha bathi ngu-Esawu.

Kota mofavrema kasenteana, koranke avufgane antegeno hakare avufgamo'a azokake hu'nege'za, agi'a Iso'e hu'za ante'naze.

26 Ngemva kwalokhu, umfowabo walandela, isandla sakhe sibambe isithende sika-Esawu; ngakho wathiwa nguJakhobe. U-Isaka wayeleminyaka engamatshumi ayisithupha ngesikhathi uRabheka ebazala.

Hanki amefiga'a negna kasentegeno, Iso agiare azerino atiramigeno, agi'a Jekopu'e hu'za antemi'naze. Ana knarera Aisaki'a 60'a zagegafu hutegeno, nenaro'a mofavrea kase zanante'ne.

27 Bakhula abafana, u-Esawu waba ngumzingeli omkhulu, indoda yegangeni, kodwa uJakhobe wayeyindoda ethuleyo, engasuki ngekhaya emathenteni.

Hagi ana mofavre'mokea nena hute'ne, Iso'a zagagafa hofa trampinti ahe ne' mani'negeno, Jekopu'a rimpa frune kazone ne' seli nompi mani'ne.

28 U-Isaka owayethanda inyama yenyamazana wayethanda u-Esawu, kodwa uRabheka wayethanda uJakhobe.

Aisaki'a Isona avesinte'ne, na'ankure agrama zagagafa aheno eme amigeno nenea zankure. Hagi Rebeka'a Jekopu avesinte'ne.

29 Ngesinye isikhathi uJakhobe wayepheka inyama, u-Esawu wafika evela egangeni elambile.

Hagi mago zupa Jekopu'a ne'zana negregeno, Iso'a trampinti agaku nehuno e'ne.

30 Wathi kuJakhobe, “Phangisa, akungiphe ukudla kwakho lokho osukukhanzinge kwaba bomvana! Sengifile ngendlala!” (Yikho wabizwa ngokuthi ngu-Edomi.)

Iso'a amanage huno Jekopuna asmi'ne, Ame'ama hunka antu koranke migri (sup) ne'zana eri namige'na na'neno, na'ankure naganetege'na nehue. E'inama hu'nea agafare mago agi'a Idomu'e hu'za ante'naze.

31 UJakhobe waphendula wathi, “Qala ungithengisele ubuzibulo bakho.”

Hagi Jekopu'a amanage hu'ne, Zage mofavremo eri asomura kota'zana nagri namitege'no.

32 U-Esawu wathi, “Khangela, sengisifa. Bungisiza ngani ubuzibulo lobo?”

Higeno Iso'a amanage hu'ne, Negano nagra fri'za nehuanki, zage mofavremo eri asomumo'a na'a hunantegahie?

33 Kodwa uJakhobe wathi, “Qala ufunge kimi.” Yikho wasefunga isifungo kuye, ethengisa ubuzibulo bakhe kuJakhobe.

Higeno Jekopu'a amanage huno asmine, Kotazana huvempa hutegeno, higeno agra huvempa hunteno zage mofavremo eriga asomura Jekopu ami'ne.

34 Ngakho uJakhobe wasesipha u-Esawu isinkwa lokudla kwendumba eziphekwa ziluhlaza. Wadla, wanatha, wasukuma wahamba. Ngaleyondlela u-Esawu wabeyisa ubuzibulo bakhe.

Jekopu'a bretine, lentol koheki huno amigeno neteno atreno vu'ne. Iso'a ese mofavremo'ma eriga asomu'agura antahi amneza se'ne.
