1 UJakhobe laye wahamba ngeyakhe indlela, wasehlangabezwa yizingilosi zikaNkulunkulu.
Yaⱪup ɵz yoliƣa ketip baratti; yolda Hudaning pǝrixtiliri uningƣa uqridi.
2 Wathi ezibona uJakhobe wathi, “Leli libandla likaNkulunkulu!” Indawo leyo waseyibiza ngokuthi yiMahanayimi.
Yaⱪup ularni kɵrüp: — Bu jay Hudaning bargaⱨi ikǝn! — dǝp, bu jayning namini «Maⱨanaim» dǝp ⱪoydi.
3 UJakhobe wathuma izithunywa ukuba zihambe phambili kwakhe kumnewabo u-Esawu elizweni laseSeyiri, ilizwe lika-Edomi.
Andin Yaⱪup Seir zeminidiki «Edom yayliⱪi»ƣa, akisi Əsawning ⱪexiƣa aldin hǝwǝrqilǝrni ǝwǝtip,
4 Wazilaya wathi, “Nanku okumele likutsho enkosini yami u-Esawu, ‘Inceku yakho uJakhobe uthi bengihlezi loLabhani njalo ngihlale khona kwaze kwaba khathesi.
ularƣa jekilǝp: — Silǝr hojamƣa, yǝni Əsawƣa: «Kǝminiliri Yaⱪup mundaⱪ dedi: — Mǝn Labanning ⱪexida musapir bolup, ta muxu waⱪitⱪiqǝ turdum.
5 Ngilenkomo labobabhemi, ngilezimvu, lembuzi, njalo ngilezinceku lezincekukazi. Khathesi-ke sengithumela lelilizwi enkosini yami, ukuze ngithole umusa emehlweni akho.’”
Əmdi mǝndǝ kala, exǝk wǝ ⱪoylar, ⱪul-dedǝklǝrmu bar; mǝn ɵzlirining nǝziridǝ iltipat taparmǝnmikin dǝp hojamƣa hǝwǝr yǝtküzüxni layiⱪ kɵrdüm», dǝnglar, — dedi.
6 Kwathi izithunywa sezibuya kuJakhobe zathi, “Sihambile kumfowenu u-Esawu, okwamanje uyeza ukuzokuhlangabeza, ulamadoda angamakhulu amane eza lawo.”
Hǝwǝrqilǝr Yaⱪupning yeniƣa yenip kelip: — Biz akiliri Əsawning ⱪexiƣa barduⱪ; u tɵt yüz kixini elip, silining aldiliriƣa keliwatidu, — dedi.
7 UJakhobe wafikelwa yikwesaba lokukhathazeka okukhulu wasesehlukanisa phakathi abantu ayelabo baba ngamaqembu amabili, wenzenjalo lemihlambini yezimvu leyenkomo lamakamela lawo.
Yaⱪup naⱨayiti ⱪorⱪup, ƣǝm-ƣussigǝ qüxüp adǝmlirini ⱪoy, kala wǝ tɵgilirigǝ ⱪoxup, ikki topⱪa ayridi.
8 Wakhumbula wathi, “Nxa u-Esawu angafika ahlasele elinye iqembu, leloqembu eliseleyo lingahle libaleke.”
U: — «Əgǝr Əsaw kelip bir topimizƣa ⱨujum ⱪilsa, yǝnǝ bir top ⱪeqip ⱪutulup ⱪalar» — dǝp oylidi.
9 UJakhobe wasekhuleka wathi, “Oh Nkulunkulu kababa u-Abhrahama, Nkulunkulu kababa u-Isaka, Thixo, wena owathi kimi, ‘Buyela elizweni lakini lasezihlotsheni zakho, ngizakwenza uphumelele,’
Andin Yaⱪup mundaⱪ dua ⱪildi: — I atam Ibraⱨimning Hudasi wǝ atam Isⱨaⱪning Hudasi! Manga: «Ɵz zemining wǝ uruⱪ-tuƣⱪanliringning ⱪexiƣa yenip kǝtkin, sanga yahxiliⱪ ⱪilimǝn» dǝp wǝdǝ ⱪilƣan Pǝrwǝrdigar!
10 mina kangiwufanelanga wonke umusa lokuthembeka okutshengise inceku yakho. Ngangiphethe intonga yami zwi mhla ngichapha iJodani leli, kodwa khathesi sengingamaqembu amabili.
— Mǝn Sening Ɵz ⱪulungƣa kɵrsǝtkǝn ɵzgǝrmǝs barliⱪ meⱨribanliⱪing wǝ barliⱪ wapadarliⱪing aldida ⱨeqnemǝ ǝmǝsmǝn; qünki mǝn bu Iordan dǝryasidin ɵtkinimdǝ yalƣuz bir ⱨasam bar idi. Əmdi mǝn ikki top adǝm bolup ⱪaytiwatimǝn.
11 Ngiyakhuleka ngithi ngisindise esandleni somfowethu u-Esawu, ngoba ngiyesaba ukuthi uzakuza angihlasele, kanye labesifazane labantwababo.
Ɵtünüp ⱪalay, meni akam Əsawning ⱪolidin ⱪutⱪuzƣaysǝn; qünki u kelip mǝn bilǝn hotun-balilirimni ɵltürüwetǝmdikin, dǝp ⱪorⱪimǝn.
12 Kodwa wena uthe, ‘Ngempela ngizakwenza uphumelele ngenze lezizukulwane zakho zibe njengetshebetshebe lolwandle elingeke labalwa.’”
Sǝn: «Mǝn jǝzmǝn sanga zor yahxiliⱪ ⱪilip, sening nǝslingni dengizdiki ⱪumdǝk ⱨǝddi-ⱨesabsiz kɵp ⱪilimǝn», degǝniding, — dedi.
13 Wahlala khonapho ngalobobusuku, kwathi kulokho ayelakho wakhetha isipho sikamnewabo u-Esawu:
U xu keqisi xu yǝrdǝ ⱪonup ⱪaldi; andin u ⱪol ilikidiki mallardin elip, akisi Əsawƣa ikki yüz ɵqkǝ, yigirmǝ tekǝ, ikki yüz saƣliⱪ, yigirmǝ ⱪoqⱪar, ottuz qixi tɵgini taylaⱪliri bilǝn, ⱪiriⱪ inǝk, on buⱪa, yigirmǝ mada exǝk, on ⱨangga exǝkni sowƣat ⱪilip tǝyyarlap,
14 imbuzikazi ezingamakhulu amabili lempongo ezingamatshumi amabili; izimvu ezinsikazi ezingamakhulu amabili lenqama ezingamatshumi amabili;
15 amakamela amasikazi angamatshumi amathathu lamathole awo; amankomokazi angamatshumi amane lenkunzi ezilitshumi; kanye labobabhemi abasikazi abangamatshumi amabili lemiduna yawo elitshumi.
16 Wakugcinisa izisebenzi zakhe konke, umhlambi munye wema wodwa, wathi kuzo izisebenzi zakhe, “Hambani phambi kwami, njalo litshiye ibanga phakathi kwemihlambi.”
Bularni ayrim-ayrim top ⱪilip hizmǝtkarlirining ⱪoliƣa tapxurup, ularƣa jekilǝp: — Silǝr mǝndin burun mengip, ⱨǝr topning arisida ariliⱪ ⱪoyup ⱨǝydǝp menginglar, — dedi.
17 Lowo owayephambili wamlaya wathi, “Nxa umnewethu u-Esawu ekuhlangabeza afike abuze athi, ‘Ungokabani wena, njalo uya ngaphi, njalo ngezikabani zonke lezizifuyo eziphambi kwakho?’
U ǝng aldidiki top bilǝn mangƣan kixikǝ ǝmr ⱪilip: — Akam Əsaw sanga uqriƣanda, ǝgǝr u sǝndin: «Kimning adimisǝn? Ⱪǝyǝrgǝ barisǝn? Aldingdiki janiwarlar kimning?» — dǝp sorisa,
18 Ubokuthi, ‘Ngezenceku yakho uJakhobe. Ziyisipho esithunyelwe inkosi yami u-Esawu, laye uyeza nje emuva kwethu.’”
Undaⱪta sǝn jawab berip: «Bular kǝminiliri Yaⱪupning bolup, hojam Əsawƣa ǝwǝtkǝn sowƣattur. Mana, u ɵzimu kǝynimizdin keliwatidu» — degin, dedi.
19 Walaya njalo isisebenzi sesibili, lesesithathu lazozonke ezinye ezaziqhuba imihlambi wathi: “Kumele likhulume into efanayo ku-Esawu nxa lihlangana laye.
Xu tǝriⱪidǝ u ikkinqi, üqinqi wǝ ulardin keyinki padilarni ⱨǝydǝp mangƣuqi kixilǝrgimu ohxax ǝmr ⱪilip: — Əsaw sizlǝrgǝ uqriƣanda, silǝrmu uningƣa xundaⱪ dǝnglar, andin: — Mana, kǝminiliri Yaⱪup ɵzimu arⱪimizdin keliwatidu, — dǝnglar, dedi; qünki u: — Mǝn aldimda barƣan sowƣat bilǝn uni meni kǝqürüm ⱪildurup, andin yüzini kɵrsǝm, meni ⱪobul ⱪilarmikin, — dǝp oyliƣanidi.
20 Njalo lingakhohlwa ukuthi, ‘Inceku yakho uJakhobe iyeza ngemva kwethu.’” Ngoba wacabanga wathi: “Ngizamthoba ngezipho lezi engizithumela phambili; nxa sengimbona muva mhlawumbe uzangamukela.”
21 Ngakho izipho zikaJakhobe zahanjiswa, zamandulela, kodwa yena wasala ezihonqweni ubusuku bonke.
Xundaⱪ ⱪilip sowƣat aldin ǝwǝtildi; u xu keqisi bargaⱨda ⱪonup ⱪaldi.
22 Ngalobobusuku uJakhobe waphakama wathatha omkakhe bobabili, lezincekukazi zakhe zombili kanye lamadodana akhe alitshumi lamunye wawela izibuko likaJabhoki.
U xu keqidǝ ⱪopup, ikki ayali wǝ ikki dediki wǝ on bir oƣlini elip, Yabbok keqikidin ɵtüp kǝtti.
23 Esebachaphisile wabuye wachaphisa yonke imfuyo yakhe.
U ularni eⱪindin ɵtküzdi, xundaⱪla ⱨǝmmǝ tǝǝlluⱪinimu u ⱪarxi tǝrǝpkǝ ɵtküzdi.
24 Ngakho uJakhobe wasala yedwa, indoda ethile yabindana laye kwaze kwaba semathathakusa.
Yaⱪup bolsa bu ⱪatta yalƣuz ⱪaldi; bir zat kelip xu yǝrdǝ uning bilǝn tang atⱪuqǝ qelixti.
25 Leyondoda yathi ngokubona ukuthi kayimehluli uJakhobe, yambamba inyonga, inyonga yakhe yakhumuka elokhu ebindana laleyondoda.
Lekin bu zat uni yengǝlmǝydiƣanliⱪini kɵrüp, uning yotisining yiriⱪiƣa ⱪolini tǝgküzüp ⱪoydi; xuning bilǝn ular qelixiwatⱪanda Yaⱪupning yotisi ⱪazandin qiⱪip kǝtti.
26 Indoda yasisithi, “Ngiyekela ngihambe ngoba sokusile.” Kodwa uJakhobe wamphendula wathi, “Kangisoze ngikwekele uhambe ngaphandle kokuthi ungibusise.”
U zat: — Meni ⱪoyup bǝrgin, qünki tang atay dǝp ⱪaldi, dedi. — Sǝn meni bǝrikǝtlimigüqǝ, seni ⱪoyup bǝrmǝymǝn, dedi Yaⱪup.
27 Indoda yambuza yathi, “Ungubani ibizo lakho na?” Wathi, “NginguJakhobe.”
U uningdin: — Eting nemǝ? dǝp soridi. U: etim Yaⱪup, — dedi.
28 Indoda yasisithi, “Ibizo lakho kalisayikuba nguJakhobe, kodwa u-Israyeli, ngoba ulwe loNkulunkulu kanye labantu wanqoba.”
U uningƣa: — Sening eting buningdin keyin Yaⱪup bolmay, bǝlki Israil bolidu; qünki sǝn Huda bilǝnmu, insan bilǝnmu elixip ƣalib kǝlding, — dedi.
29 UJakhobe wathi, “Akungitshele ibizo lakho.” Kodwa waphendula wathi “Ulibuzelani ibizo lami na?” Wasembusisa khonapho.
Andin Yaⱪup uningdin: — Namingni manga dǝp bǝrgin, dewidi, u: — Nemixⱪa mening namimni soraysǝn? — dedi wǝ xu yǝrdǝ uningƣa bǝht-bǝrikǝt ata ⱪildi.
30 Ngakho uJakhobe wabiza indawo leyo ngokuthi yiPheniyeli esithi, “Kungoba ngimbonile uNkulunkulu ubuso ngobuso, kodwa impilo yami kayilinyazwanga.”
Xuning bilǝn Yaⱪup: — Hudani yüzmu-yüz kɵrüp, jenim ⱪutulup ⱪaldi, dǝp u jayning namini «Pǝniǝl» dǝp atidi.
31 Ilanga lamphumela esedlula ePheniweli, ehamba eqhugezela ngenxa yenyonga yakhe.
U Pǝniǝldin ɵtüp mangƣanda, kün uning üstibexini yorutti; ǝmma u yotisi tüpǝylidin aⱪsap mangatti.
32 Ngakho-ke kuze kube lamuhla abako-Israyeli kabayidli inyama elomsipha osuka enyongeni, ngoba inyonga kaJakhobe yenyela eduze lomsipha.
Bu sǝwǝbtin Israillar bügüngiqǝ yotining ügisidiki pǝyni yemǝydu; qünki xu Zat Yaⱪupning yotisining yiriⱪiƣa, yǝni uning peyigǝ ⱪolini tǝgküzüp ⱪoyƣanidi.
