Tedae Pathen loh Jakob la, “Thoo, Bethel la cet lamtah pahoi khosa. Te phoeiah na maya Esau mikhmuh lamkah na yong vaengah nang taengah aka phoe Pathen ham hmueihtuk khaw pahoi saii,” a ti nah.
2 Ngakho uJakhobe wasesithi kwabomuzi wakhe lakubo bonke ababelaye, “Lahlani onkulunkulu bezizweni elilabo, lizihlambulule, lintshintshe lezigqoko zenu.
Te dongah Jakob loh amah imkhuikho neh a taengkah aka om boeih taengah, “Nangmih lakli kah kholong pathen rhoek te voei uh. Te phoeiah caihcil uh lamtah na himbai te tho uh laeh.

Thoo uh sih lamtah Bethel la cet uh sih. Ka citcai tue vaengah kai aka doo tih ka caeh long ah kai taengah aka om Pathen ham hmueihtuk pahoi ka saii ni,” a ti nah.
4 Basebemupha uJakhobe bonke onkulunkulu bezizweni ababelabo lamacici ayesendlebeni zabo, uJakhobe wakumbela ngaphansi kwesihlahla somʼOkhi eShekhemu.
Te dongah amih kut kah kholong pathen rhoek boeih neh a hna dongkah hnaii te Jakob taengah a paek uh tih Jakob loh Shekhem taengkah rhokael hmuiah a up.
5 Emva kwalokho basebesuka, ukumesaba uNkulunkulu kwehlela imizi yonke ababakhelane layo, akwaze kwaba loyedwa owaxotshana labo.
Tedae a caeh uh neh Pathen kah mueirhih loh khopuei kaepvai ah yaal tih Jakob ca te hloem uh pawh.
6 UJakhobe wafika eLuzi (leyo yiBhetheli) kanye labo bonke ayelabo elizweni laseKhenani.
Te phoeiah Jakob neh amah taengkah a pilnam boeih loh Kanaan kho kah Luz Bethel te a pha uh.
7 Wakha khona i-alithari, indawo waseyibiza ngokuthi yi-Eli Bhetheli, ngoba kwakulapho uNkulunkulu aziveza khona ngesikhathi ebalekela umfowabo.

13 UNkulunkulu wasephakama emtshiya endaweni lapho ayeke wakhuluma laye khona.
Tekah hmuen ah Jakob neh a cal rhoi pangthuem Pathen te anih taeng lamloh vik cet.
14 UJakhobe wamisa insika yelitshe endaweni leyo uNkulunkulu ayekhulume laye khona, wasethululela phezu kwayo umnikelo onathwayo; wathela njalo amafutha phezu kwayo.

20 UJakhobe wakha insika phezu kwethuna, kuze kube lamhla insika leyo itshengisa ithuna likaRasheli.
