UGenesisi 35

1 UNkulunkulu wasesithi kuJakhobe, “Yana eBhetheli wakhe khona, njalo khonapho wakhele uNkulunkulu i-alithari, yena owabonakala kuwe lapho ubalekela umnewenu u-Esawu.”

Anumzamo'a amanage huno Jekopuna asami'ne, Ko'ma negafu Isonku'ma koro frenka nevanke'na kagrite efore hugami'noa kumate otinka anagamu Beteli vunka anante umani'nenka, anante Anumzamo'na ita tro hunanto.

2 Ngakho uJakhobe wasesithi kwabomuzi wakhe lakubo bonke ababelaye, “Lahlani onkulunkulu bezizweni elilabo, lizihlambulule, lintshintshe lezigqoko zenu.

Higeno Jekopu'a amanage huno naga'ane, Agranema nemaniza naga'mokizmia zamasmi'ne. Maka havi anumzantmina netreta, tamagu'a retro nehuta, agru kukena timia antaniho.

3 Beselisiza sihambe siye eBhetheli lapho engizakwakha khona i-alithari likaNkulunkulu yena owangisizayo ngosuku lokuhlupheka kwami njalo olokhu elami loba ngingaze ngiye ngaphi.”

E'ina hutenketa anagamu Beteli vuta, antahima nenamino kna'zampinti'ma naza nehuno, hakare kazigama nevugeno nagranema nemania Anumzamofo Kresramanavu ita, e'i anante ome tro hugahue.

4 Basebemupha uJakhobe bonke onkulunkulu bezizweni ababelabo lamacici ayesendlebeni zabo, uJakhobe wakumbela ngaphansi kwesihlahla somʼOkhi eShekhemu.

E'inage hige'za maka vahe'mo'za havi anumzazamine, zamegesafi renentaza rinine eri'za Jekopu eme amizageno erino Sekemu rankuma tava'onte oki zafa agafafi keri kafino asente'ne.

5 Emva kwalokho basebesuka, ukumesaba uNkulunkulu kwehlela imizi yonke ababakhelane layo, akwaze kwaba loyedwa owaxotshana labo.

Hagi Jekopu'ma karanka naga'anema nevigeno'a Anumzamo'a Kenani kumapima nemaniza vahera zamazeri koro hige'za, mago'zana huozamante'naze.

6 UJakhobe wafika eLuzi (leyo yiBhetheli) kanye labo bonke ayelabo elizweni laseKhenani.

Jekopu'ene vahe'ane ana maka vu'za Lusi uhanati'naze. Mago agi'a Beteligino ana mopa Kenani me'ne.

7 Wakha khona i-alithari, indawo waseyibiza ngokuthi yi-Eli Bhetheli, ngoba kwakulapho uNkulunkulu aziveza khona ngesikhathi ebalekela umfowabo.

Jekopu'a havere ita tro hunteno agi'a El Betelie hu'ne. Na'ankure nefu Isonku koro'ma freno nevigeno, Anumzamo'a korapara anante fore humi'neane.

8 UDibhora, umlizane kaRabheka wafa, wembelwa ngaphansi komʼOkhi ngezansi kweBhetheli. Yikho yathiwa yi-Aloni Bhakhuthi.

Anante mani'nageno Rebekana avate eri'za ara Debora'a frige'za oki zafa agafafi Betelia ohenkamu'a asente'naze. Nehu'za agi'a Alon Bakutie hu'za ante'naze. (Zamagra kefina, zavi zafe hu'naze.)

9 UJakhobe esebuyile ePhadani Aramu uNkulunkulu wabonakala kuye njalo, wambusisa.

Hagi Padan-Aramuma atreno Jekopu'ma ete Kenani moparema egeno'a, Anumzamo'a mago'ene efore humino, asomu hunte'ne.

10 UNkulunkulu wathi kuye, “Ibizo lakho linguJakhobe, kodwa kawusayi kuthiwa unguJakhobe; ibizo lakho selizathiwa ungu-Israyeli.” Ngakho wamutha wathi ngu-Israyeli.

Anumzamo'a amanage huno asmi'ne, Menina kagi'a Jekopu'e huno me'ne. Hianagi mago'enena Jekopu'e hu'za osugahazanki, Israeli'e huno kagi'a megahie. Israeli'e huno Anumzamo'a Jekopu agi'a antemi'ne.

11 UNkulunkulu wathi kuye, “NginguNkulunkulu uSomandla; zalanani lande ngobunengi. Kuzaphuma kuwe isizwe lezinhlanga zezizwe, lamakhosi azavela emzimbeni wakho.

Anumzamo'a mago'ene amanage huno asami'ne, Nagra hihamu'ane Anumzane, mofavrea kasezmantege'za kokankoka mopafina fore huhakare hu'za rukazi hu'za rankumara ante'za nemaninage'za, mago'amo'za kini vahera efore hugahaze.

12 Ilizwe engalinika u-Abhrahama lo-Isaka ngilinika wena lawe, njalo ilizwe leli ngizalinika izizukulwane zakho eziza emva kwakho.”

Abrahamune, Aisaki'gizni Nagra zanami'noa mopa kagrira kamigahue. Hagi henka ama ana mopa Nagra kagehe'i zamigahue.

13 UNkulunkulu wasephakama emtshiya endaweni lapho ayeke wakhuluma laye khona.

Anage huteno Anumzamo'a Jekopu'enema keagama ha'a kumara atreno ete mareri'ne.

14 UJakhobe wamisa insika yelitshe endaweni leyo uNkulunkulu ayekhulume laye khona, wasethululela phezu kwayo umnikelo onathwayo; wathela njalo amafutha phezu kwayo.

Jekopu'a ra have erino eme retru renenteno, ana haverera waini ti tagino ofa nehuno, oliv masave erino eme ragi'ne.

15 UJakhobe wasebiza indawo leyo lapho uNkulunkulu akhuluma laye khona ngokuthi yiBhetheli.

Ana nehuno Jekopu'a Anumzamo'enema keaga hu'nea kuma'mofo agi'a Betelie huno ante'ne.

16 Basebehamba besuka eBhetheli. Kwathi belokhu besesebucwala kwe-Efrathi, uRasheli wahelelwa kwaba nzima ukubeletha.

Hagi anantetira Jekopu'a naga'ane Betelia atre'za, Efrata kumate vunaku nevazageno, kantega Resolina mofavre ante kna'amo'a egofta higeno tusi atagu hu'ne.

17 Kwathi ekulobobunzima bokubeletha umbelethisi wathi kuye, “Ungesabi. Ngoba uzazuza enye indodana.”

Hagi Resolina mofavre'za negegeno tusi atagu nehigeno anante mofavrema aza huno kase aminaku'ma avega huno mani'nea a'mo'a amanage huno asami'ne, mago' ne'mofavre kasentananki korora osuo.

18 Kwathi esephela ngoba wayesesifa wetha indodana yakhe wathi nguBheni-Oni. Kodwa uyise wayo wayithi nguBhenjamini.

Resoli'a kasenteteno fri'za nehuno ana mofavre agi'a Ben-oni'e nasunku mofavre huno ante'ne. Hianagi Jekopu'a Benzameni'e nazantamaga mofavre huno agi'a ante'ne.

19 Wafa kanjalo uRasheli wembelwa endleleni kuyiwa e-Efrathi (kutshiwo iBhethilehema.)

Resoli'a frige'za Efrata vu kamofo ankenare asente'naze, (mago agi'a Betlehemue.)

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

Jekopu'a ra have erino vuno Resolima asente'nea kerimofo agofetu ome retru re'ne, menina Resoli kerire retru re'nea havea amne me'ne.

21 U-Israyeli wabuye wathutha wayamisa ithente lakhe ngale kweMigidali-Eda.
