UGenesisi 29
1 UJakhobe waseqhubeka ngohambo lwakhe wayafika elizweni labantu bempumalanga.
A LAILA, hele aku la o Iakoba i. kona hele ana, a hiki aku la i ka aina o na kanaka o ka hikina.
2 Wabona khonale umthombo esiqintini, kulemihlambi yezimvu emithathu ilele eduzane kwawo ngoba imihlambi yayinatha khonapho emthonjeni lowo. Ilitshe elalivale umlomo womthombo lalilikhulu.
Nana aku la ia, aia hoi, he luawai ma ke kula, a me na ohana hipa ekolu e moe ana ilaila: no ka mea, ua hoohainuia na ohana holoholona i ka wai o ua luawai la: a aia maluna o ka waha o ka luawai he pohaku nui.
3 Kwakusithi yonke imihlambi ingabuthana khona, abelusi baligiqe ilitshe balisuse emlonyeni womthombo banathise izimvu. Besebelibuyisela ilitshe endaweni yalo emlonyeni womthombo.
Ilaila i hoakoakoaia'i na ohana holoholona a pau: olokaa ae la lakou i ka pohaku mai ka waha ae o ka luawai, a hoohainu iho la i na hipa; a kau hou iho la i ka pohaku maluna o ka waha o ka luawai, ma kona wahi.
4 UJakhobe wabuza abelusi wathi, “Bafowethu, livela ngaphi?” Baphendula bathi, “Sivela eHarani.”
I aku la o Iakoba ia lakou, E kuu mau hoahanau, nohea oukou? I mai la lakou, No Harana makou.
5 Wathi, “Liyamazi yini uLabhani, umzukulu kaNahori?” Baphendula bathi, “Yebo, siyamazi.”
I aku la ia ia lakou, Ua ike anei oukou ia Labana, ka moopuna a Nahora? I mai la lakou, Ua ike no makou.
6 UJakhobe wasebabuza wathi, “Uyaphila yini?” Bathi, “Yebo, uyaphila; nansi indodakazi yakhe uRasheli esiza lezimvu.”
I aku la ia ia lakou, E ola ana anei oia? I mai la lakou, E ola ana no, aia hoi, ke hele mai la o Rahela, o kana kaikamahine me ka pua hipa.
7 Wathi, “Khangelani, ilanga lilokhu lisemini; akukabi yisikhathi sokuthi imihlambi ibuthwe. Zinathiseni izimvu lezi lizibuyisele emadlelweni.”
I aku la ia, Aia hoi, he la okoa keia; aole i hiki ka manawa e houluulu ai i na bipi: e hoohainu oukou i na hipa, a hele e hanai.
8 Baphendula bathi, “Asingeke, ize iqale iqoqane yonke imihlambi, ilitshe beselisuswa emlonyeni womthombo. Besesizinathisa-ke izimvu.”
I mai la lakou, Aole makou e hiki, a pau na ohana hipa i ka houluuluia, a olokaa ae lakou i ka pohaku, mai ka waha mai o ka luawai; alaila makou e hoohainu i na hipa.
9 Wathi elokhu esakhuluma labo uRasheli wafika lezimvu zikayise, kalokho wayengumelusi.
Ia ia i olelo ai me lakou, hiki mai la o Rahela me na hipa a kona makuakane: no ka mea, nana lakou i malama.
10 UJakhobe wathi ebona uRasheli indodakazi kaLabhani, umnewabo kanina esiza lezimvu zikaLabhani, wahamba wayagiqa ilitshe elalisemlonyeni womthombo wanathisa izimvu zikamalumakhe.
A ike aku la o Iakoba ia Rahela, ke kaikamahine a Labana, o ke kaikunane o kona makuwahine, a me ka poe hipa a Labana, o ke kaikunane o kona makuwahine, neenee aku la o Iakoba, olokaa ae la ia i ka pohaku mai ka waha ae o ka luawai, a hoohainu iho la i ka poe hipa a Labana, o ke kaikunane o kona makuwahine.
11 UJakhobe wasesanga uRasheli njalo wakhala kakhulu.
Honi aku la o Iakoba ia Rahela, hookiekie ae la ia i kona leo, a uwe iho la.
12 Wayesemtshelile uRasheli ukuthi wayeyisihlobo sikayise lokuthi wayeyindodana kaRabheka. Ngakho intombi yagijima yayabikela uyise.
Hai aku la o Iakoba ia Rahela, he hoahanau ia no kona makuakane, a he keiki na Rebeka: holo aku la kela, a hai aku la i kona makuakane.
13 ULabhani wonela ukuwuzwa umbiko ngoJakhobe, indodana kadadewabo, wahle waphuthuma wayamhlangabeza. Wamgona, wamanga, wamletha ngekhaya, lapho uJakhobe amtshela khona izinto lezi.
A lohe ae la o Labana i ka olelo no Iakoba no ke keikikane a kona kaikuwahine, holo mai la ia e halawai me ia, apo mai la ia ia, honi ae la, a kai aku la ia ia i kona hale. Hai aku la oia ia Labana ia mau mea a pau.
14 ULabhani wasesithi kuye, “Uyinyama yami legazi lami.” UJakhobe esehlale laye okwenyanga yonke,
Olelo mai la o Labana ia ia, He oiaio, o oe no kuu iwi, a me kuu io. A noho pu iho la oia me ia, hookahi malama.
15 uLabhani wathi kuye, “Kambe sekungathi ngoba uyisihlobo sami ubusungisebenzela ungaholi lutho? Akungitshele ukuthi umholo wakho ungaba yini?”
Olelo mai la o Labana ia Iakoba, E hookauwa wale anei oe na'u, no kou pili hoahanau ana ia'u? e hai mai oe ia'u i kau uku.
16 ULabhani wayelamadodakazi amabili; ibizo lendala lalinguLeya, encinyane inguRasheli.
Elua mau kaikamahine a Labana, o Lea ka inoa o ka mua, a o Rahela ka inoa o ka muli iho.
17 ULeya wayelamehlo abuthakathaka, kodwa uRasheli wayelesimo esibukekayo, emuhle.
He makawai ko Lea; aka, ua maikai o Rahela ke nana aku, a ua maikai kona helehelena.
18 UJakhobe wezwa emthanda uRasheli wasesithi, “Ngizakusebenzela okweminyaka eyisikhombisa ukuze ungiphe indodakazi yakho encane uRasheli.”
Aloha aku la o Iakoba ia Rahela: i aku la ia, E hooikaika aku no au i kau hana i na makahiki ehiku no Rahela, no kau kaikamahine muli iho.
19 ULabhani wathi, “Kungcono ngimuphe wena kulokuba ngimuphe enye indoda. Hlala lapha lami.”
I mai la o Labana, E aho no'u ke haawi aku ia ia nau, aole na ke kanaka e ae; e noho pu oe me au.
20 UJakhobe waseyisebenza iminyaka eyisikhombisa ukuze azuze uRasheli, kodwa yakhanya ingathi yizinsukwana ezimbalwa kuye ngenxa yothando kuye.
Hooikaika aku la o Iakoba i na makahiki ehiku no Rahela; a he mau la uuku wale no ia i kona manao, no kona aloha ia ia.
21 UJakhobe wasesithi kuLabhani, “Ngipha-ke umkami. Isikhathi sami sesigcwalisekile, sengifuna ukwembatha laye.”
I aku la o Iakoba ia Labana, E haawi mai oe i ka'u wahine, i komo ai au iloko io na la, no ka mea, ua hala ae nei ko'u mau la.
22 Ngakho uLabhani wasenxusa bonke abantu bendawo wenza idili.
Houluulu ae la o Labana i na kanaka a pau o ia wahi, a hana iho la i ka ahaaina,
23 Kodwa kwathi sekusihlwa, wathatha indodakazi yakhe uLeya wamupha uJakhobe, uJakhobe wembatha laye.
A ahiahi iho la, lalau aku la ia i kana kaikamahine ia Lea, a lawe mai la ia ia io Iakoba la, a komo aku la ia io na la.
24 ULabhani waphinda wapha uLeya incekukazi yakhe uZilipha ukuba ibe yincekukazi yakhe.
Haawi aku la o Labana ia Zilepa i kona kaikamahine i kauwawahine na kana kaikamahine na Lea.
25 Kwathi sokusile, wabona kunguLeya! UJakhobe wathi kuLabhani, “Kuyini lokhu okwenzileyo kimi? Mina ngasebenzela uRasheli, kakunjalo na? Kungani ungikhohlisile?”
A ao ae la, aia hoi, o Lea ka ia: i aku la o Iakoba ia Labana, Heaha keia mea au i hana mai ai ia'u? aole anei o Rahela ka'u i hooikaika aku ai nau? No ke aha hoi oe i hoopunipuni mai ai ia'u?
26 ULabhani waphendula wathi, “Kakusiwo mkhuba wethu lapha ukwendisa indodakazi encane endala ingakendi.
I mai la o Labana, Aole pela e pono ke hana ma ko makou aina, ke haawi e aku i ka hanau hope mamua o ka hanau mua.
27 Qeda iviki yokucola lo omdala; besesikupha lalo omncane njalo ngemva kokumsebenzela eminye iminyaka eyisikhombisa.”
E hoopau oe i ko ia nei hebedoma, alaila e haawi hoi makou ia Rahela nau, no ka hooikaika ana au e hooikaika ai me au, i na makahiki hou aku i ehiku.
28 UJakhobe wenza njalo. Waqeda iviki eloLeya, uLabhani wasemupha indodakazi yakhe uRasheli ukuba ibe ngumkakhe.
Pela no o Iakoba i hana aku ai, a hoopau ae la i ko ia la hebedoma: a haawi aku la hoi oia ia Rahela i kana kaikamahine i wahine nana.
29 ULabhani wanika indodakazi yakhe uRasheli incekukazi yakhe uBhiliha ukuba abe yincekukazi yakhe.
Haawi mai la o Labana ia Bileha i kona kaikamahine, i kauwawahine na Rahela, na kana kaikamahine.
30 UJakhobe waselala loRasheli, wamthanda ukwedlula uLeya. Wasesebenzela uLabhani okweminye iminyaka eyisikhombisa njalo.
Komo aku la hoi oia io Rahela la, a oi aku la kona aloha ia Rahela mamua o kona aloha ia Lea; a hooikaika aku la ia me Labana i na makahiki hou aku i ehiku.
31 UThixo wathi ngokubona ukuthi uLeya wayengathandwa, wavula inzalo yakhe, kodwa uRasheli wayeyinyumba.
A ike iho la o Iehova, ua hoowahawahaia o Lea, hoohua iho la ia i kona opu: aka, ua pa o Rahela.
32 ULeya wathatha isisu wazala indodana. Wamutha ibizo wathi nguRubheni, ngoba wathi, “Kungenxa yokuthi uThixo usebonile ukuhlupheka kwami. Ngempela umkami usezangithanda manje.”
Hapai iho la o Lea, a hanau mai la he keikikane, a kapa iho la ia i kona inoa o I Reubena: no ka mea, i mai la ia, He oiaio, ua nana mai o Iehova i kuu popilikia; ano hoi, e aloha mai auanei ka'u kane ia'u.
33 Wathatha isisu njalo, wathi esephinde umfana njalo wathi, “Ngoba uThixo wezwa ukuthi kangithandwa, wanginika lo njalo.” Ngakho wamutha wathi nguSimiyoni.
Hapai hou iho la ia, a hanau mai la he keikikane; i mai la, No ka mea, ua lohe o Iehova i kuu hoowahawahaia, nolaila, ua haawi mai hoi oia i keia keikikane: kapa iho la ia i kona inoa, o I Simeona.
34 Wasithatha njalo isisu, kwathi esezele omunye umfana wathi, “Khathesi-ke umkami usezabambelela kimi ngoba sengimzalele amadodana amathathu.” Yikho wathiwa nguLevi.
Hapai hou iho la ia, a hanau mai la, he keikikane; i mai la, I keia manawa no, e hoopiliia mai auanei ka'u kane ia'u; no ka mea, ua hanau no wau i na keikikane ekolu nana: no ia mea i kapaia'i kona inoa, o I Levi.
35 Waphinda wasithatha isisu, wazuza umfana wathi, “Ngalesisikhathi ngizadumisa uThixo.” Wamutha wathi nguJuda. Wasesima ukuzuza abantwana.
Hapai hou iho la ia, a hanau mai la he keikikane: i mai la ia, Ano no, e hoolea aku wau ia Iehova; nolaila, kapa iho la ia i kona inoa, o I Iuda; a oki iho la kona hanau ana.
