UGenesisi 31
1 UJakhobe wezwa ukuthi amadodana kaLabhani ayesithi, “UJakhobe usethethe konke ubaba ayelakho njalo usezuze yonke inotho ebingekababa.”
Lebani mofavre naga'mo'za agriku'ma nehaza ke'ma Jekopu'ma antahi'neana amanage hu'naze, Jekopu'a nerafa zana maka eri vaganereno, nerafa zanteti agra feno vahe fore huno manie.
2 Njalo uJakhobe wananzelela ukuthi uLabhani wayengasamphathi njengakuqala.
Hanki Jekopu'a Lebani avu'ava'ma keana ko'ma nehiaza osuno, avugosa hunenanteno ha' vahe'mo hiaza hu'ne.
3 UThixo wasesithi kuJakhobe, “Buyela elizweni laboyihlo lasezihlotsheni zakho, mina ngizakuba lawe.”
Ana nehigeno Ra Anumzamo'a anage huno Jekopuna asmi'ne, Nagra kagrane manigahuanki ete negafane vaheka'a moparega vuo.
4 Ngakho uJakhobe wasethumela ilizwi kuRasheli loLeya ukuthi beze egangeni lapho imihlambi yakhe eyayikhona.
Higeno Jekopu'a ana kema nentahino'a afu'zagama zamavareno ome zamate'noma mani'nerega e'ogu, Resoline, Liagiznirega ke atreznantegeke,
5 Wathi kubo, “Sengibona ukuthi uyihlo kasangiphathi njengakuqala, kodwa uNkulunkulu kababa ube lami.
anante akeno amanage huno zanasmi'ne, neranafa'a ko'ma nehiaza huno nagranena kiza zokago huno menina omanie. Hagi avugosamo'a ruzahu nehige'na negoe. Hianagi nenfa Anumzamo'a nagrane mani'ne.
6 Liyakwazi ukuthi ngamsebenzela uyihlo ngamandla ami wonke,
Nagrama neranafa eri'zama tusi namu'na sisi nehige'na hanaveni'a atre'nama eri'noana, tanagra nageta antahita hu'na'e.
7 kodwa uyihlo ungidlelezele ngokuguqula umholo wami okwezikhathi ezilitshumi. Kodwa uNkulunkulu kamvumelanga ukuthi angilimaze.
Anama hu'nogura agesa ontahino, renavatga huno mizani'a 10ni'a zupa eri antenaga henka hu'ne. Hianagi Anumzamo'a atregeno nazeri havizana osu'ne.
8 Kwakusithi angathi, ‘Ezilamabalabala ngezakho, ezomholo,’ imihlambi yonke izale ezimabalabala; kuthi angathi, ‘Ezingamaqamule zizakuba ngumholo wakho,’ yonke imihlambi izale amazinyane angamaqamule.
Kora Lebani'a amanage huno nasmi'neane, maka'a tupri tapri azoka'ene afu'zaga eri'za enerina mizanka'e, higeno tupri tapri ke'za fore hu'ne. Hagi agrono tegre ramira mizanka'e hiana, anazanke hu'ne.
9 Ngaleyondlela uNkulunkulu usethethe imihlambi kayihlo wayipha mina.
E'ina higeno Anumzamo'a neranafa azampintira memeramine, sipisipiramine, rama'a nagri avre nami vagare'ne.
10 Ngesikhathi sokuxotshwa lokumitha kwemihlambi, ngaba lephupho lapho okwathi ngikhangela ngabona ukuthi impongo ezazixotsha umhlambi zazingamaqamule, kumbe zingamafahlafahla kumbe zilamabala.
Hanki afu'zagamo'ma agafima ahea knafi amanahu ava'na ke'noe. Maka'a ve mememofo avufgarera tupri tapri ene agrono krerami krerami hu'nea azoka me'nege'na negogeno, a' mememofo agumpina mareri'ne.
11 Ingilosi kaNkulunkulu yathi kimi kulelophupho, ‘Jakhobe.’ Ngasabela ngathi, ‘Ngilapha.’
Anumzamofo ankeromo'a ava'nafi amanage huno nagia ahe'ne. Jekopuo! Hige'na ama mani'noe hu'na hugeno,
12 Yathi, ‘Khangela ukuthi zonke impongo ezixotsha umhlambi ngezingamaqamule, ngezingamafahlafahla kumbe ngezilamabala, ngoba ngikubonile konke lokho uLabhani abekwenza kuwe.
Anumzamofo ankeromo'a amanage hu'ne, tupri tapri'ene avon krerami'nea ve meme zagamo'a a' meme agumpima marerime neviana, kesga hunka ko, Lebani'ma maka'a avu'ava zama hunegante'mofona, Nagra ko ke'noe.
13 NginguNkulunkulu waseBhetheli, lapho owagcoba khona insika njalo lapho owenza khona isifungo kimi. Suka kulelilizwe khona manje ubuyele elizweni lakini.’”
Nagra Betelima efore'ma hugenka have eri atru hunka masave taginka frenentenka navufi huvempa hu'nana Anumzamo'na nehuanki menina otinka ama kumara atrenka, fore'ma hu'nana kumatega vuo huno hu'ne.
14 URasheli loLeya baphendula bathi, “Sivele siseselesabelo selifa likababa na?
Higeke Resolike, Liakea ana naneke nentahi'ne, amanage hu'na'e. Tagra nerafa afu fenompintira mago'zama erisu'a zana huhampri orante'neanki, na'a hugahu'e?
15 Kasinjengabezizweni kuye na? Kakusikho kodwa ukuthi walobolisa ngathi, kodwa sowakusebenzisa konke esalotsholwa ngakho.
Hagi nerfa'a ko hurantegeta ruregati emani vahe kna hu'noe. Tagrira ko mizante tatre'ne, Tagriteti afufeno eriana ko ana afu fenona atre hana hu'ne.
16 Ngempela yonke inotho uNkulunkulu ayemuka ubaba ngeyethu labantwabethu. Ngakho yenza loba yini uNkulunkulu akutshele yona.”
Tamage nerfa azampinti Anumzamo'a maka zana kagri hanare kamiana, e'i ana maka zana tagri'ene mofavre'tine suzane. E'ina hu'negu Anumzamo'ma kasami'niaza huo.
17 UJakhobe wasegadisa abantwabakhe labomkakhe emakameleni,
Hagi Jekopu'a maka a'mofavre'a, kemori afutamimofo zamagumpi zamavarentere nehuno,
18 waziqhuba zonke izifuyo zakhe zahamba phambili, kanye lempahla zonke ayezizuzile ePhadani Aramu, esebuyela kuyise u-Isaka elizweni laseKhenani.
maka'a afu'ane, fenoma'ane emani'neno eritru hu'nea zana zogi hana huno Padan-Aram mopa atreno, Kenani moparega nefa Aisaki'ma mani'nerega vu'ne.
19 Kwathi uLabhani ehambile eyogunda izimvu zakhe, uRasheli weba izithombe zikayise.
Hagi Lebani'a afete umani'neno, sipisipi azoka neharegeno, Kenanima vunaku'ma retrotra nehazageno'a, Resoli'a nompi marerino Lebani'ma havi anumzante mono hunentea zana, musufa seno erino vu'ne.
20 Phezu kwalokho uJakhobe wakhohlisa uLabhani umʼAramu ngokungamtsheli ukuthi yena wayesebaleka.
Jekopu'a Arameania nera Lebanina osami revatga nehuno freno vu'ne.
21 Ngakho wabaleka lakho konke okwakungokwakhe, wachapha umfula iYufrathe, waqonda elizweni lamaqaqa eleGiliyadi.
Jekopu'a maka zama'a enerino otino fre'no vuno, Yufretis tina takaheno Gileati agonarega avugosa hunteno vu'ne.
22 Ngosuku lwesithathu uLabhani watshelwa ukuthi uJakhobe wayesebalekile.
Hagi taregna evutege'za anante knazupa mago'a vahe'mo'za, Jekopu'a hago katreno fre'ne hu'za Lebanina ome asami'naze.
23 Wathatha izihlobo zakhe bangena emzileni kaJakhobe okwensuku eziyisikhombisa baze bayambamba elizweni lamaqaqa eleGiliyadi.
Lebani'a ananke nentahino naga'a nezamavareno Jekopuna arotgo hu'za vu'naze. Hagi agene re'nazana 7ni'a hanine, zagene karanka mase'naze. Hagi Jekopu'a Gileati agonafi mani'nege'za ome azeri'naze.
24 UNkulunkulu weza kuLabhani umʼAramu ephutsheni ebusuku wathi kuye, “Unanzelele ukuthi ungaze watsho lutho kuJakhobe, loba lungoluhle kumbe olubi.”
Hianagi Anumzamo'a Arameani ne' Lebanina kenage ava'nafi efore humino anage huno asami'ne, Kva huo, Jekopuna magore hunka so'e kefi havigea huonto.
25 UJakhobe wayemise ithente lakhe elizweni lamaqaqa eGiliyadi eficwa khona nguLabhani, uLabhani laye lezihlobo zakhe bakha izihonqo khonapho.
Jekopu'a seli no omegino agonafi mase'negeno, Lebani'a ana agonafi Jekopu'na ome azeri'ne. Hagi Lebani'a vahe'ane mago kaziga seli no omegino, Gileati agonafi mase'naze.
26 Ngakho uLabhani wasesithi kuJakhobe, “Wenzeni manje? Ungikhohlisile, njalo uthumbe amadodakazi ami njengabathunjiweyo empini.
Lebani'a anage huno Jekopuna asami'ne, Kagra nahigenka renavatga hutenka mofani'ararena hapinti kina huzmante'za zamavare'za frazankna hunka zamavarenka e'nane?
27 Kungani ubalekele ngasese wangikhohlisa na? Kungani ungangazisanga ukuze ngikuvalelise ngentokozo langokutshaya izigubhu lamachacho?
Nahigenka okura frenka renavatga hu'nane, nasminke'nasinia, muse nehu'za tambori'nine, zavena nehe'za hugantagenka tatrenka asine.
28 Kawuzange ume ukuthi ngange abazukulu bami lamadodakazi ami ngibavalelise. Wenze into eyibuthutha.
Hagi nahigenka nasminke'na nagehe'ine, mofani'ararena zamantako nehu'na huso'e huzmantogenka zamavarenka ome'nane? Kagra mago kefo avu'avaza hu'nane.
29 Ngilamandla okukulimaza; kodwa ngobusuku obudluleyo uNkulunkulu kayihlo uthe kimi, ‘Unanzelele ungaze watsho lutho kuJakhobe, loba ngoluhle kumbe ngolubi.’
Nagrira hanaveni'a me'neankina, kagrira ha' kahenaku e'noanagi, meni kenagera masenogeno negafa Anumzamo'a amanage huno nasmi'ne, Jekopuna azeri koro osuo, magore hunka havi keo, so'e keo huonto huno nasmi'ne.
30 Manje ususukile ngoba ubulangazelela ukubuyela emzini kayihlo. Kodwa kungani webe izithombe zami na?”
Nagra antahi'noe natrenka'ma anana, na'ankure negafa nonku tusiza huno kvenesigenke. Hianagi nahigenka anumzani'a noni'afintira kumzafa senka e'nane?
31 UJakhobe wamphendula uLabhani wathi, “Bengisesaba ukuthi uzangemuka amadodakazi akho ngamandla.
Higeno Jekopu'a ana kemofo nona'a amanage huno Lebanina asami'ne, Na'ankure nagrama antahuana hanavetinka mofa trenka'a hanaregahane nehu'na koro hu'na oku'a e'no'e.
32 Kodwa nxa ufumana loba ngubani olezithombe zakho, kayikuphila. Ake ubone, lezihlobo zakho zikhona, ingabe kulolutho lwakho yini lapha kimi; nxa lukhona, luthathe.” UJakhobe wayengazi ukuthi uRasheli wayezebile izithombe.
Aza'o mago'mo'ma ana anumzanka'a erino e'nesnimofona hakrenka erifore hanankeno'a, anamo'a frigahie. Nege'nagenka nagati'amofo zamufi mago'a kagri zama nagri fenompima me'neniana erigahane. Hagi Resoli'ma musufa seno e'negura Jekopu'a ontahi'neno, anahu kea hu'ne.
33 Ngakho uLabhani wangena ethenteni likaJakhobe lethenteni likaLeya lethenteni lezincekukazi zombili, kodwa kafumananga lutho. Ephuma ethenteni likaLeya, wangena ethenteni likaRasheli.
Lebani'a, Jekopu seli nompi ome agafa huno hakreteno, Lia seli nompi ome keteno, tare eri'za a' tremokizni seli nompi keme viana onke'ne. Anantera Lia seli nona atreno Resoli seli nompi umareri'ne.
34 URasheli wayethethe izithombe lezo, wazifihla phakathi kwesihlalo sekamela lakhe, wasehlala phezu kwazo. ULabhani wabhudula kukho konke okwakusethenteni, katholanga lutho.
Resoli'a ana havi anumza erino vuno kemorimofo agofetu ante'za nemaniza tra'mofo agu'afinka ome anteteno, agofetu manino rentrako hu'ne. Hagi Lebani'a hakreno vano hiana keno eri fore osu'ne.
35 URasheli wathi kuyise, “Ungazondi nkosi yami ukuthi kungani ngingakusukumeli, kungenxa yokuba ngisesikhathini.” Ngakho wabhudula, kodwa akaze azifumana izithombe zangekhaya.
Resoli'a amanage huno nefana asami'ne, O'maotisnua zankura ranimoka kea onasuo, ika kri'ma enerua kna ege'na mani'noe. Lebani'a maka zampina hakreno keno eviana ana havi anumzama'a kefore osu'ne.
36 UJakhobe wazonda kubi wamthwalisa nzima uLabhani. Wambuza wathi, “Icala lami ngelani? Ngenze sono bani ukuze ungizingele kanje?
Jekopuna asi vazigeno ke ha' Lebanina renteno, Lebaninkura amanage hu'ne, Nagra mago zanka'a eri haviza hu'nogenka amanahura nehano? Naza mago havizana hugante'nogenka navaririnka ne-enka, haha'ene kea hunenantane?
37 Njengoba usuziguduzile zonke impahla zami, kuyini osukufumene okungokomuzi wakho na? Kubeke khonapha phambi kwezihlobo zakho lezami batsho okuyikho phakathi kwethu sobabili.
Nagri feno zama re'nanana, naza magora kagri zana nonka'afintira eri'na e'nogenka hakrenka erifore hane? Hakrenkama erifore hu'nenunka, tavufi eri atru hugeta, nagri vahe'ene, kagri vahe enena negeta eri fatgo ha'mneno.
38 Sengibe lawe okweminyaka engamatshumi amabili. Izimvu zakho lembuzi zakho kazizange ziphunze, njalo kangizange ngizihlabele inqama emihlambini yakho.
Hagi 20'a kafumofo agu'afima eri'za erigante'noana a' sipisipimo'o, a' mememo'o magore huno anentara kase havizana, nosige'na ve sipisipi afu zagaka'afintira magore hu'na ahena one'noe.

42 Aluba uNkulunkulu kababa, uNkulunkulu ka-Abhrahama langokwesaba kuka-Isaka, ubengelami, ubuzangixotsha nje ngingaphathanga lutho. Kodwa uNkulunkulu ububonile ubunzima bami lokusebenza nzima kwezandla zami, yikho ekukhuzile izolo ebusuku.”
Hianagi nenageho Abrahamu Anumzama, nafa'nia Aisaki'ma koro hunenteno mono'ma hunentea Anumzamo'ma nagranema omani'nesina, antahuana kagra menina naza navapa hunantanke'na osine. Hianagi narimpa knazampi mani'noa zane hanave eri'zama eri'noa zanena Anumzamo'a nenageno, kenagera hanavetino nanekea eme hugantene.
43 ULabhani wamphendula uJakhobe wathi, “Abesifazane ngamadodakazi ami, abantwana ngabantwabami, lemihlambi yimihlambi yami. Kodwa kuyini engingakwenza lamuhla ngala amadodakazi ami, kumbe ngabantwana ababazeleyo na?
Lebani'a ke nona amanage huno Jekopuna asmi'ne, Tare mofatrena nagri mofatre mani'na'e. Hanki mofavre zaga nagri mofavre zage, afu'zaga nagri afu'zage, maka zama neganana nagrike zane. Hianagi mofatreni'ane mofavrema kase zamante'na'ana menina nagra inankna huzmantegahue?
44 Zwana-ke, kasenze isivumelwano, wena lami, sibe ngufakazi phakathi kwethu.”
E'ina hu'negu menina egeta, naneke huvempa huteta, have zogita emeri atru huntesukeno amu'nonti'afi me'nena, henka ama ana avamezama negenuta'a, amama huhagerafu'a zankura tagesa antahitere hugahu'e.
45 Ngakho uJakhobe wasethatha ilitshe walimisa laba yinsika.
Jekopu'a mago avame'za za'za have ome erino anante retrureno asenenteno,
46 Wasesithi ezihlotsheni zakhe, “Buthelelani amatshe.” Bawathatha amatshe aba yinqwaba, basebedlela khonapho eceleni kwenqwaba.
naga'a ke hige'za mago'ene havea eri'za anante kevu vazintete'za, ana have kevumofo tvaonte kave ne'naze.
47 ULabhani wayibiza ngokuthi yiJegari Sahadutha, uJakhobe yena wathi yiGaledi.
Lebani'a ana havemofo agi'a Jegar-sahaduta'e huno Aramea kefina nehuno, Ama have atrumo huragesa hugahie huno ante'ne. Hianagi Jekopu'a Hibru kefina Galitie huno agi'a nenteno, ama have atrumo hu tagesa hugahie huno ante'ne.
48 ULabhani wathi, “Inqwaba le ingufakazi phakathi kwami lawe lamuhla.” Yikho yabizwa ngokuthi yiGaledi.
Lebani'a amanage hu'ne, amama eritru hu'a havemo menina avame'za amu'nonti'afina megahie. Hu'ne nehu'ne ana havemofo agi'a Galitie hu'ne ante'na'e.
49 Yabizwa njalo ngokuthi yiMizipha, ngoba wathi, “Sengathi uThixo angalinda phakathi kwakho lami nxa sikhatshana omunye komunye.
Ete mago agi'a Mizpae hu'ne ante'na'e. Lebani'a amanage hu'ne. Tagra afete mani'neta oge age osuta mani'neta maka avu'ava'ma hanu'ana, Ra Anumzamo agrake tagegahie.
50 Ungaze uphathe kubi amadodakazi ami, loba ungaze uthathe abanye abafazi ngaphandle kwamadodakazi ami, loba kungekho omunye umuntu olathi, khumbula ukuthi uNkulunkulu ungufakazi phakathi kwakho lami.”
Hagi kagrama mofa'nimokizni hazenke ati zanamige, mago ru a'ne erige hananana, amunonti'afina magora vahera omani'nazanki Anumzamo agrake tagegahie.
51 ULabhani wathi njalo kuJakhobe, “Nansi inqwaba le, njalo nansi insika engiyimise phakathi kwakho lami.
Lebani'a mago'ene Jekopuna anage huno asami'ne, Antahio, za'za havema asento'a negenka, amama oti'no'a amu'nontiafima eri atru hu'a havea ko.
52 Inqwaba le ingufakazi, kanye lensika le ingufakazi wokuthi kangisoze ngiyidlule inqwaba le ngize kwelakho icele ngizekonela lokuthi lawe kawuyikudlula kule inqwaba lensika uze kwelami icele uzengonela.
Amama mani'neta huvempa huta asento'a havemo, amu'nontiafi me'nena, nagra ama ana havea agatere'na krimpa eri haviza hu'zana osugahue. Hagi kagra eri atru hunto'a havene, asento'a havene agaterenka narimpa eri havizana osuo.
53 Sengathi uNkulunkulu ka-Abhrahama, loNkulunkulu kaNahori, uNkulunkulu kayise wabo angahlulela phakathi kwethu.” Ngakho uJakhobe wenza isifungo ebizweni likaMesatshwa kayise u-Isaka.
Hagi Abrahamu Anumzane, Nahori Anumzane, neznafa Anumzamo amu'nontiafina refko hurantegahie. Hagi Jekopu'a nefa Aisaki'ma koro hunenteno mono'ma hunentea Anumzamofonte huvempa hu'ne.
54 Wenza umhlatshelo khonapho elizweni lamaqaqa wanxusa izihlobo zakhe ekudleni. Sebedlile, balala khonapho.
Jekopu'a e'i ana agonafi Kresramana vu ne'za kreno Anumzamofontega ofa hunenteno naga'a zamagi hutru hige'za nete'za, ana agonafi mase'naze.
55 Ekuseni kakhulu ngosuku olulandelayo uLabhani wanga abazukulu bakhe lamadodakazi akhe wababusisa. Wasefulathela wabuyela ekhaya.
Lebani'a nanterame otino mofatrema'ane, agehe'ine nezmavatagino zamantako nehuno, asomu ke huzmante'ne. Ana huteno, Lebani'a kuma'arega ete vu'ne.
