UGenesisi 30
1 URasheli wathi ebona ukuthi wayengazaleli uJakhobe abantwana, wasekhwelezela udadewabo. Wasesithi kuJakhobe, “Ngipha abantwana, kumbe ngife!”
A IKE ae la o Rahela, aole ia i hanau i na keiki na Iakoba, huahuwa aku la o Rahela i kona kaikaana; i mai la ia ia Iakoba, E haawi, mai oe i keiki na'u, o make au.
2 UJakhobe wamzondela wathi, “Sengisesikhundleni sikaNkulunkulu yini mina, onguye okuvale ukuthi ungazali?”
Hoaaia ka inaina o Iakoba ia Rahela; i aku la ia, Owau no anei ka panihakahaka no ke Akua, nana i aua mai ka hua o kou opu?
3 Yena wasesithi, “Nangu uBhiliha incekukazi yami. Lala laye ukuze angizalele abantwana, ukuze kuthi ngaye ngibe lemuli.”
I mai la ia, Aia hoi kuu kauwawahine o Bileha, e komo aku oe io na la; a e hanau mai auanei ia maluna o kuu mau kuli, i keiki ai hoi au ma ona la.
4 Ngakho wasemupha incekukazi yakhe uBhiliha njengomfazi. UJakhobe wembatha laye,
Haawi mai la oia ia Bileha i kana kauwawahine, i wahine nana: a komo aku la o Iakoba io na la.
5 wazithwala wamzalela indodana.
Hapai iho la o Bileha, a hanau mai la, he keikikane na Iakoba.
6 Ngakho uRasheli wathi, “UNkulunkulu usengigezile; ulalele ukuncenga kwami wasenginika indodana.” Ngenxa yalokhu wayitha wathi nguDani.
I mai la o Rahela, Ua hoapono mai ke Akua ia'u, ua hoolohe mai hoi ia i ko'u leo, a ua haawi mai ia i keiki na'u: nolaila, kapa iho la ia i kona inoa, o I Dana.
7 Incekukazi kaRasheli, uBhiliha, yathatha isisu njalo yazalela uJakhobe indodana yesibili.
Hapai hou iho la o Bileha ke kauwawahine a Rahela, a hanau mai la, o ka lua ia o kana keikikane na Iakoba.
8 URasheli wasesithi, “Kade kuyimpi phakathi kwami lodadewethu, mina senginqobile.” Wasemuthi nguNafithali.
I mai la o Rahela, Me na hakoko nui ka'u i hakoko pu ai me kuu kaikuaana, a ua lanakila au: a kapa iho la ia i kona inoa, o I Napetali.
9 ULeya wathi ngokubona ukuthi kasazali wathatha incekukazi yakhe uZilipha wayipha uJakhobe njengomfazi.
A ike iho la o Lea, ua oki kona hanau ana, lalau aku la ia ia Zilepa, i kana kauwawahine, a haawi aku la ia ia i wahine na Iakoba.
10 Incekukazi kaLeya uZilipha yazalela uJakhobe indodana.
A hanau mai la o Zilepa ke kauwawahine a Lea i keikikane na Iakoba.
11 ULeya wasesithi, “Inhlanhla engakanani!” Wamutha ibizo wathi nguGadi.
I mai la o Lea, Pomaikai; a kapa iho la ia i kona inoa, o I Gada,
12 Incekukazi kaLeya uZilipha yazalela uJakhobe indodana yesibili.
Hanau mai la hoi o Zilepa o ke kauwawahine a Lea i ka lua o ke keikikane na Iakoba.
13 ULeya wathi, “Uthi ngiyathaba yini! Abafazi bazakuthi ngiyathaba.” Yikho wambiza ngokuthi ngu-Asheri.
I mai la o Lea, Pomaikai no wau, no ka mea, e hoomaikai mai auanei na kaikamahine ia'u: a kapa iho la i kona inoa o I Asera.
14 Ngesikhathi sokuvuna ingqoloyi uRubheni waya emasimini wafumana izihlahlakazana zamamandraki waziletha kunina uLeya. URasheli wathi kuLeya, “Ngicela ezinye zezihlahlakazana zendodana yakho.”
Hele aku la o Reubena i na la o ka ohi palaoa ana, a loaa ia ia ma ke kula na hua dudaima, a lawe mai la ia mau mea i kona makuwahine ia Lea. Alaila, i mai la o Rahela ia Lea, Ke noi aku nei au ia oe, o haawi mai na'u i kekahi mau dudaima a kau keikikane.
15 Kodwa wathi kuye, “Kakukwanelisanga na ukuthi wangemuka indoda? Usufuna ukuthatha lamamandraki endodana yami njalo?” URasheli wathi, “Kulungile, angazalala ngakwakho lamuhla ukuze ngizuze amamandraki endodana yakho.”
I aku la kela ia ia, He mea uuku anei kou lawe ana aku i ka'u kane? a manao anei hoi oe o lawe aku i na dudaima a kuu keiki? I mai la o Rahela, Nolaila, e moe pu ia me oe i neia po no na dudaima a kau keiki.
16 Ngakho kwathi uJakhobe efika evela emasimini ngaleyontambama, uLeya wamhlangabeza wathi, “Kumele ulale ngakwami lamuhla. Ngikuqhatshile ngamamandraki endodana yami.” Ngakho wembatha laye ngalobobusuku.
I ke ahiahi, hoi mai la o Iakoba mai ke kula mai, a hele aku la o Lea e halawai me ia, i aku la, E komo mai oe io'u nei; no ka mea, he oiaio no, ua hoolimalima au ia oe me na dudaima a ka'u keiki. A moe pu iho la oia me ia ia po.
17 UNkulunkulu wamlalela uLeya, wathatha isisu wazalela uJakhobe indodana yesihlanu.
Hoolohe mai la ke Akua ia Lea a hapai iho la o Lea, a hanau mai la na Iakoba i ka lima o kana keikikane.
18 ULeya wathi, “UNkulunkulu usengiphe umvuzo ngenxa yokuthi nganika indoda yami incekukazi yami.” Ngakho wamutha wathi ngu-Isakhari.
I mai la o Lea, Ua haawi mai la ke Akua i ka'u uku, no kuu haawi ana aku i ka'u kauwawahine na kuu kane: a kapa iho la ia i kona inoa o I Isakara.
19 ULeya waphinda wasithatha njalo isisu wazalela uJakhobe indodana yesithupha.
Hapai hoa iho la o Lea, a hanau mai na Iakoba i ke ono o kana keikikane.
20 Ngakho uLeya wathi, “UNkulunkulu usengiphe isipho esiligugu. Khathesi umkami usezangiphatha ngenhlonipho, ngoba sengimzalele amadodana ayisithupha.” Wasemutha wathi nguZebhuluni.
I mai la o Lea, Ua haawi mai ke Akua ia'u i ka haawina maikai; ano la, e noho pu auanei ka'u kane me a'u, no ka mea, ua hanau no au i na keikikane eono nana: a kapa iho la ia i kona inoa o I Zebuluna.
21 Emva kwesikhathi esithile wazala intombazana wayithi nguDina.
A mahope iho, hanau mai la ia i kaikamahine, a kapa iho la i kona inoa o I Dina.
22 UNkulunkulu wamkhumbula uRasheli; wezwa ukukhala kwakhe wavula isibeletho sakhe.
Hoomanao mai la ke Akua ia Rahela, a hoolohe mai la ke Akua ia ia, a hoohua mai la i kona opu.
23 Wathatha isisu wazala indodana, wathi, “UNkulunkulu uselisusile ihlazo lami.”
Hapai iho la oia, a hanau mai la he keikikane: i mai la ia, Ua lawe aku no ke Akua i kuu hoinoia.
24 Wamutha wathi nguJosefa, wathi, “Sengathi uThixo angangipha enye indodana.”
Kapa iho la ia i kona inoa o I Iosepa; i iho la, E haawi mai ke Akua i keikikane hou na'u.
25 URasheli esezele uJosefa uJakhobe wathi kuLabhani, “Ngivumela ukuthi ngibuyele elizweni lakithi.
I ka manawa a Rahela i hanau ai ia Iosepa, i aku la o Iakoba ia Labana, E hoihoi aku oe ia'u, i hele aku ai au i ko'u wahi, a i ko'u aina.
26 Ngipha omkami labantwana engibasebenzeleyo kuwe, ngihle ngihambe. Uyawazi umsebenzi engiwusebenzileyo kuwe lapha.”
E haawi mai oe i ka'u mau wahine, a me ka'u mau kamalii, i na mea a'u i hooikaika aku ai nau, a e kuu ae oe ia'u e hele: no ka mea, ua ike oe i ka hana au i hana aku ai nau.
27 Kodwa uLabhani wathi kuye, “Nxa ungithanda, hlala. Sengibonile ngokwambulelwa ukuthi uThixo ungibusisile ngenxa yakho.”
I mai la o Labana ia ia, Ke noi aku nei au ia oe, ina i loaa ia'u ke aloha imua ou, e noho; ua ike no wau ma ka hoao ana, nou no ka Iehova i hoopomaikai mai ai ia'u.
28 Wengeza ngokuthi, “Qamba loba yiphi inhlawulo oyifunayo, ngizakupha.”
I mai la hoi oia, E hai mai oe i kau uku, a e haawi aku no wau.
29 UJakhobe wathi kuye, “Uyakwazi ukuthi ngikusebenzele njani lokuthi izifuyo zakho zigcinakale njani ziphethwe yimi.
I aku la kela ia Labana, Ua ike no oe i ko'u hooikaika ana aku nau, a me ka pono o kau poe holoholona.
30 Okuncinyane owawulakho ngingakafiki sekusele kwanda kakhulu, njalo uThixo ukubusisile langabe kungaphi lapho engike ngaba khona. Kodwa manje ngizaze ngiwenzele nini mina umuzi wami ulutho?”
No ka mea, he mea uuku kau mamua o ko'u hiki ana mai, a hoomahuahuaia'e ia he lehulehu loa: a ua hoopomaikai mai o Iehova ia oe, mahope mai o kuu hele ana mai: ano hoi, ahea la au e hoolako ai i ko ka hale o'u kekahi?
31 Wabuza wathi, “Ngikupheni na?” Waphendula uJakhobe wathi, “Ungangiphi lutho. Kodwa ake ungenzele lokhu kodwa, ukuze ngiqhubeke ngisondla imihlambi yakho:
I mai la oia, Heaha ka'u e uku aku ai ia oe? I aku la o Iakoba, Aole oe e uku mai ia'u i kekahi mea: ina paha penei oe e hana mai ai ia'u, alaila au e hana hou, a e malama hoi i kau poe holoholona:
32 Wothi ngingene emihlambini yakho lamuhla ngikhuphe kuyo zonke izimvu ezilamachatha kumbe amabala, lamazinyane wonke amnyama lembuzi zonke ezilamabala kumbe amachatha. Yizo ezizakuba yinhlawulo yami.
E hele ae au iwaena o kau poe holoholona a pau i neia la, a e hookaawale aku i na holoholona kikokiko a onionio, a me na mea eleele a pau o ka poe hipa, a me na mea onionio a kikokiko o ka poe kao: a oia ka'u uku.
33 Ngesikhathi esizayo ubuqotho bami buzavela nxa uhlola inhlawulo onginike yona. Ingqe yiphi imbuzi engizabe ngilayo engelamachatha kumbe amabala, loba lizinyane lemvu elingamnyama lizakubalwa njengelebiweyo.”
Pela e hoapono aku ai ho'u pono ia'u i ka wa mahope, i ka wa e lilo mai ai ia i uku na'u imua o kou mau maka: o na mea a pau o ka poe kao me au, aole i kikokiko, aole noi i eleele no ka poe hipa, oia ke oleloia he mea i aihueia.
34 ULabhani wathi, “Kulungile, kakube njengokutsho kwakho.”
I mai la o Labana, Aia hoi, o ko'u makemake no ia, me kau i olelo mai ai.
35 Mhlalokho wazikhupha zonke impongo ezazingamaqamule kumbe ezilamabala, njalo lezinsikazi ezilamachatha kumbe ezilamabala (zonke ezazilokumhlophe kuzo) lamazinyane ezimvu wonke amnyama zonke wathi zikhangelwe ngamadodana akhe.
Ia la no, hookaawale ae la oia i na kao kane a pau i onionio a i kikokiko, a me na kao wahine a pau i onionio a kikokiko, me na mea kiko keokeo a pau; a me na mea eleele o na mea keikihipa, a haawi aku la iloko o ka lima o kana mau keikikane.
36 Wasebeka umango wensuku ezintathu phakathi kwakhe loJakhobe, kodwa uJakhobe wayelokhu esondla yonke imihlambi eseleyo kaLabhani.
A hookaawale ae la o Labana i na la hele i ekolu mawaena ona a o Iakoba: a hanai aku la o Iakoba i na poe holoholona a Labana i koe.
37 Kwathi uJakhobe wagamula ingatsha zesihlahla sephopla, eze-alimondi lezepulane wahamba ezixoza amaxolo wenza imidwa kwavela kuzo isigodo esimhlophe.
Lawe ae la o Iakoba i na laau popela maka, me na laau alemone, a me na laau pelane, a ihi iho la i na kaha onionio keokeo ma ua mau laau la, i moakaka na wahi keokeo o na mau laau la.
38 Ingatsha lezi ezixoziweyo wazibeka kuyo yonke imikolo yokunathela imihlambi ukuthi zime ziqondane lezifuyo nxa zinatha. Kwakusithi lezozifuyo ezidabuleyo zizonatha
Kukulu iho la ia i na laau ana i ihi ai, imua o na holoholona, ma na pawai hooinu, i ka wa i hele ai lakou e inu, i hapai ai lakou i ka wa i hele ai lakou e inu.
39 zifike zixakane phambi kwezingatsha. Zazizala amazinyane alamabala ayimidwa loba alamachatha kumbe amabala nje.
Hapai iho la na holoholona imua o na mau laau la, a hanau mai la i na keiki onionio, kikokiko, a me ke kikohukohu.
40 UJakhobe wawakhetha wawabeka wodwa amazinyane, kodwa lezo ezinye waziyekela zadunga lezo ezingamaqamule lezimnyama ezazingezikaLabhani. Ngaleyondlela, wenza imihlambi ehlukeneyo eyakhe kaze ayihlanganisa lekaLabhani.
Hookaawale ae la o Iakoba i na keikihipa, a haliu ae la i na maka o ka poe holoholona ma na mea onionio, a me na mea eleele o ko Labana poe holoholona; hookaawale ae la ia i kona mau poe holoholona, aole i hookokoke aku ia lakou me na holoholona a Labana.
41 Kwakusithi kungadabula ezinsikazi eziqinileyo, uJakhobe wayefaka imiqwayi emikolweni phambi kwezifuyo ukuze zixakane eduze kwayo,
I ka wa i ai ai na holoholona ikaika, alaila, waiho iho la o Iakoba i na laau imua o na maka o na holoholona maloko o na pawaiinu, i hapai ai lakou imua o na laau.
42 kodwa nxa ezinsikazi zingezibuthakathaka wayengayifaki imiqwayi. Ngakho izifuyo ezibuthakathaka zaba ngezikaLabhani, eziqinileyo zabuya ngoJakhobe.
Aka, ina he mau holoholona nawaliwali lakou, aole ia i waiho i na laau iloko; pela no, na Labana ka poe nawaliwali, a na Iakoba ka poe ikaika.
43 Ngale indlela indoda le yanotha kakhulu yaba lemihlambi emikhulu, lezincekukazi, lezinceku kanye lamakamela labobabhemi.
A he nui loa ka waiwai o ua kanaka nei: ia ia na holoholona he nui wale, me na kauwawahine, a me na kauwakane, na kamelo, a me na hoki.
