UGenesisi 27
1 Kwasekusithi uIsaka esemdala lamehlo akhe esefiphele engasaboni, wabiza uEsawu indodana yakhe enkulu, wathi kuye: Ndodana yami! Wasesithi kuye: Khangela ngilapha.
Esi Isak tsi ku amegã belibeli, eye megate ŋu nɔ nu kpɔm tututu o la, eyɔ via tsitsitɔ Esau gbe ɖeka. Eyɔe be, “Vinye.” Esau tɔ be, “Nyee nye esi.”
2 Wasesithi: Khangela-ke, sengimdala, angilwazi usuku lokufa kwami.
Isak yi edzi gblɔ be, “Fifia metsi, eye menya be mate ŋu aku ɣe sia ɣi tso fifia dzi.
3 Ngakho khathesi, ake uthathe izikhali zakho, isikhwama sakho semitshoko ledandili lakho, uphume uye egangeni ungizingelele inyama yenyamazana,
Tsɔ wò da kple datiwo nàyi gbe me, eye nàwu lã aɖe tsɔ gbɔe.
4 ungilungisele ukudla okumnandi njengengikuthandayo, ukulethe kimi ukuthi ngidle, ukuze umphefumulo wami ukubusise ngingakafi.
Ne ègbɔ la, nàɖa nu nyui si tɔgbi melɔ̃a ɖuɖu la nam. Tsɔe vɛ nam maɖu, be mayra wò, vinye ŋutsuvi gbãtɔ hafi maku.”
5 URebeka wasesizwa lapho uIsaka ekhuluma loEsawu indodana yakhe. UEsawu wasesiya egangeni ukuyazingela inyama yenyamazana ukuze ayilethe.
Ke Rebeka fi nya si Isak gblɔ na via Esau la se. Ale esi Esau dzo yi adegbe be yeadi lã aɖe awu la,
6 URebeka wasekhuluma kuJakobe indodana yakhe, esithi: Khangela, ngizwile uyihlo ekhuluma kuEsawu umnewenu, esithi:
Rebeka yɔ via Yakob, eye wògblɔ nɛ be, “Mese fofowò gblɔ na nɔviwò be,
7 Ngilethela inyama yenyamazana, ungilungisele ukudla okumnandi ukuthi ngidle, ngikubusise phambi kweNkosi ngingakafi.
‘Di adelã nàɖa nui nam maɖu, eye mayra wò le Yehowa ŋkume hafi maku.’”
8 Ngakho khathesi, ndodana yami, lalela ilizwi lami kulokhu engikulaya khona.
Rebeka yi edzi gblɔ be, “Vinye, ɖo tom, eye nàwɔ nu si magblɔ na wò la tututu.
9 Ake uye emhlanjini, ungithathele lapho amazinyane amabili amahle ezimbuzi, ngizawenzela uyihlo ukudla okumnandi njengalokho akuthandayo;
Yi lãhawo me, eye nàlé gbɔ̃ eve siwo metsi tututu o la vɛ nam ne matsɔ wo aɖa nu si vivia fofowò nu la nɛ.
10 uzakusa-ke kuyihlo ukuthi adle, ukuze akubusise engakafi.
Àtsɔ nuɖuɖu la ayi na fofowò wòaɖu. Ne eɖui vɔ la, ayra wò boŋ ɖe fowò Esau teƒe hafi aku.”
11 UJakobe wasesithi kuRebeka unina: Khangela, uEsawu umnewethu uyindoda elihwanqa, kodwa ngiyindoda ebutshelezi.
Ke Yakob gblɔ na dadaa be, “Enyo pɛ, gake fonye Esau to fu ɖe ŋuti, ke nye la, nye ŋutigbalẽ zrɔ̃.
12 Mhlawumbe ubaba uzangiphulula, besengisiba emehlweni akhe njengomhleka usulu, njalo ngizilethele isiqalekiso kungabi-ke yisibusiso.
Nya kae adzɔ ne fofonye ali asi ŋunye? Abu be ɖe medi be mado lã ye, eye wòaƒo fi adem le esime wòayram teƒe!”
13 Unina wasesithi kuye: Isiqalekiso sakho kasibe phezu kwami, ndodana yami; kuphela lalela ilizwi lami, uhambe ungithathele wona.
Rebeka gblɔ na via be, “Vinye lɔlɔ̃a, na eƒe fiƒode nava dzinye. Wò ya wɔ nu si megblɔ na wò la. Yi nàlé gbɔ̃awo vɛ.”
14 Wasehamba, wawathatha, wawaletha kunina; unina waselungisa ukudla okumnandi njengalokho uyise akuthandayo.
Ale Yakob zɔ ɖe dadaa ƒe ɖoɖowo dzi. Ewu gbɔ̃awo, ko wo nyuie, eye dadaa tsɔ lã la ɖa nu si vivia Isak nu.
15 URebeka wasethatha izigqoko ezinhle zikaEsawu indodana yakhe enkulu, ayelazo endlini, wagqokisa uJakobe indodana yakhe encinyane;
Le esia megbe la, Rebeka tsɔ Esau ƒe awu nyuitɔwo, eye wòna Yakob do wo.
16 lezikhumba zamazinyane ezimbuzi wazifaka ezandleni zakhe lebutshelezini bentamo yakhe.
Etsɔ gbɔ̃awo ƒe agbalẽwo wɔ asiwuiwo, eye wòtsɔ gbɔ̃gbalẽ la ƒe ɖe wɔ kawo tsi ɖe asiwuiawo ŋu heku kɔ na Yakob.
17 Wasenika ukudla okumnandi lesinkwa ayekulungisile esandleni sikaJakobe indodana yakhe.
Etsɔ lã si nɔ ʋeʋẽm lĩlĩlĩ kple abolo si wome teti la nɛ.
18 Wasesiza kuyise wathi: Baba! Wasesithi: Khangela ngilapha; ungubani ndodana yami?
Yakob tsɔ nuɖuɖua yi na fofoa hegblɔ be, “Fofonye.” Eɖo eŋu bena, “Nyee nye si, vinye kae nye ema?”
19 UJakobe wasesithi kuyise: NginguEsawu izibulo lakho; ngenze njengoba ungitshelile; ake uvuke uhlale, udle okwenyama yami yenyamazana, ukuze umphefumulo wakho ungibusise.
Yakob ɖo eŋu be, “Nye Esau, viwò tsitsitɔe. Mewɔ nu si nèɖo nam be mawɔ la. Nuɖuɖu nyui si nèdi lae nye esi. Fɔ nàɖui eye nàyram.”
20 UIsaka wasesithi endodaneni yakhe: Kungani uyithole masinyane kangaka, ndodana yami? Wasesithi: Ngoba iNkosi uNkulunkulu wakho yenze ukuthi ize phambi kwami.
Enumake Isak gblɔ be, “Vinye, aleke nèwɔ hafi wò asi ka lã kaba ale?” Yakob ɖo eŋu be, “Yehowa, wò Mawu lae kpe ɖe ŋunye.”
21 UIsaka wasesithi kuJakobe: Ake usondele ukuze ngikuphulule, ndodana yami, ukuthi uyindodana yami uEsawu uqobo, kumbe hatshi.
Isak gblɔ na Yakob be, “Te ɖe ŋunye. Medi be mali asi ŋuwò, ale be maka ɖe edzi be Esau tututue!”
22 UJakobe wasesondela kuIsaka uyise; wasemphulula wathi: Ilizwi liyilizwi likaJakobe, kodwa izandla ziyizandla zikaEsawu.
Yakob te ɖe fofoa ŋu, eye wòli asi eŋu. Isak gblɔ na eɖokui be, “Gbe la nye Yakob tɔ, gake asiawo nye Esau tɔ!”
23 Kodwa kamazanga ngoba izandla zakhe zaziloboya njengezandla zomnewabo uEsawu; ngakho wambusisa.
Isak di be yeayra Yakob, gake egabia be,
24 Wasesithi: Uyindodana yami uEsawu uqobo yini? Wasesithi: Nginguye.
“Woe nye Esau nyateƒea?” Ke Yakob ɖo eŋu be, “Nyee!”
25 Wasesithi: Sondeza kimi ukuze ngidle okwenyama yenyamazana yendodana yami, ukuze umphefumulo wami ukubusise. Waseyisondeza kuye, wasesidla; waseletha kuye iwayini, wasenatha.
Isak gblɔ be, “Vinye, ekema tsɔ nuɖuɖu la vɛ nam. Ne meɖui vɔ la, ekema mayra wò.” Yakob tsɔ nuɖuɖu la na fofoa wòɖu, eye wòno wain si Yakob tsɔ kpe ɖe nuɖuɖua ŋu la.
26 Uyise uIsaka wasesithi kuye: Ake usondele, ungange, ndodana yami.
Emegbe Isak gblɔ be, “Vinye, te ɖe ŋunye, eye nàgbugbɔ nu nam!”
27 Wasesondela, wamanga; wasenuka iphunga lezembatho zakhe, wambusisa wathi: Khangela, iphunga lendodana yami linjengephunga lensimu iNkosi eyibusisileyo.
Yakob te ɖe fofoa ŋu, eye wògbugbɔ eƒe alɔgo. Ʋeʋẽ si Isak se le awu siwo Yakob do me la na wòbu be Esaue. Eyrae hegblɔ be, “Ehɛ̃, Vinye ƒe ʋeʋẽ sɔ kple ʋeʋẽ nyui si dona tso anyigba kple agble si Yehowa yra la ene.
28 Ngakho uNkulunkulu akunike okwamazolo amazulu lokokuvunda komhlaba, lenala yamabele lewayini elitsha.
Mawu nana dziƒozãmu nadza ɖe wò nukuwo dzi ɣe sia ɣi, eye wòana bli kple wain yeye nasɔ gbɔ na wò.
29 Abantu kabakukhonze, lezizwe zikukhothamele. Bana yinkosi yabafowenu, lamadodana kanyoko akukhothamele. Okuqalekisayo kaqalekiswe, lokubusisayo kabusiswe!
Dukɔ geɖewo nazu kluviwo na wò. Àzu aƒetɔ ɖe nɔviwòwo dzi. Wò ƒometɔwo katã nade ta agu na wò. Woaƒo fi ade ame sia ame si aƒo fi de wò la, ke woayra ame sia ame si ayra wò la.”
30 Kwasekusithi uIsaka eseqedile ukubusisa uJakobe, kwathi uJakobe esanda ukuphuma phambi kukaIsaka uyise, uEsawu umnewabo wafika evela ekuzingeleni kwakhe.
Esi Isak yra Yakob vɔ teti, eye Yakob do go le fofoa ƒe xɔ me la, Esau gbɔ tso adegbea.
31 Laye futhi walungisa ukudla okumnandi, wakusa kuyise; wathi kuyise: Ubaba kavuke, adle okwenyama yenyamazana yendodana yakhe, ukuze umphefumulo wakho ungibusise.
Eya hã ɖa nu si fofoa lɔ̃a ɖuɖu la, eye wòtsɔe yi nɛ. Esau gblɔ be, “Fofonye, metsɔ nuɖuɖu la vɛ na wò. Fɔ nàɖu nua, eye nàyram!”
32 UIsaka uyise wasesithi kuye: Ungubani? Wasesithi: Ngiyindodana yakho, izibulo lakho uEsawu.
Isak bia be, “Wò ame kae?” Esau ɖo eŋu be, “Nyee! Nye Esau, viwò ŋutsu tsitsitɔe!”
33 UIsaka wasethuthumela ngokuthuthumela okukhulukazi, wathi: Pho, ngubani ozingele inyama yenyamazana wayiletha kimi, ngasengisidla okwayo yonke ungakafiki? Ngimbusisile, yebo uzabusiswa.
Isak de asi ƒoƒo me kpakpakpa. Egblɔ be, “Ekema ame kae tsɔ nuɖuɖu vɛ nam fifi laa meɖu, eye meyrae kple yayra si womagate ŋu aɖe ɖa o la?”
34 Kwathi uEsawu esezwe amazwi kayise, wakhala ngokukhala okukhulu lokubuhlungu isibili, wathi kuyise: Ngibusisa lami njalo, baba!
Esau de asi avifafa me hehehe. Egblɔ be, “Oo fofonye, yram! Yra nye hã!”
35 Wasesithi: Umfowenu ufike ngenkohliso, wathatha isibusiso sakho.
Isak ɖo eŋu be, “Nɔviwò va flum, eye wòxɔ wò yayra.”
36 Wasesithi: Kasikuthi babiza ibizo lakhe ngokuthi nguJakobe, ukuthi ungiqile lezizikhathi ezimbili? Ilungelo lobuzibulo bami ulithethe, khangela-ke, khathesi uthethe isibusiso sami. Wathi futhi: Kawungigcinelanga mina isibusiso?
Esau gblɔ kple vevesese be, “Nu sia tututu tae woyɔe be Yakob si gɔmee nye ‘Amebala’ ɖo. Exɔ nye ŋgɔgbevinyenye le asinye, eye wògafi nye yayra hã. Oo, fofonye, yayra aɖeke megale asiwò nànam oa?”
37 UIsaka wasephendula wathi kuEsawu: Khangela, ngimbekile abe yinkosi phezu kwakho, labo bonke abafowabo ngimnikile babe zinceku; ngimsekele ngamabele lewayini elitsha; pho, ngingabe ngisakwenzelani, ndodana yami?
Isak ɖo eŋu gblɔ be, “Mewɔe wòzu aƒetɔ ɖe dziwò, metsɔ nɔviawo katã wɔ eƒe dɔlawoe, eye metsɔ bli kple wain hã nɛ. Nu kae gali matsɔ ana wò.”
38 UEsawu wasesithi kuyise: Ulesibusiso esisodwa yini, baba? Ngibusisa lami njalo, baba. UEsawu waphakamisa ilizwi lakhe wakhala inyembezi.
Esau xɔ nya la dzi gblɔ na fofoa be, “Yayra aɖeke mesusɔ nàtsɔ nam oa? Oo, fofonye yra nye hã!” Esau gade asi avifafa me, ke fofoa meke nu o.
39 UIsaka uyise wasephendula wathi kuye: Khangela, umuzi wakho uzakuba khatshana lokuvunda komhlaba lakhatshana lamazolo amazulu avela phezulu.
Mlɔeba la, Isak gblɔ na Esau be, “Manɔ anyigba wɔnuku aɖeke dzi o, eye zãmu hã madza na wò akpɔ o.
40 Njalo uzaphila ngenkemba yakho, uzakhonza umfowenu. Kodwa kuzakuthi lapho usuphunyuka, uzakwephula ijogwe lakhe entanyeni yakho.
Wò yi anyi wò eye àsubɔ nɔviwò va se ɖe ɣeyiɣi aɖe, ke emegbe la, àva do le ete, eye nàkpɔ ablɔɖe.”
41 UEsawu wasemzonda uJakobe ngenxa yesibusiso uyise ayembusise ngaso. UEsawu wasesithi enhliziyweni yakhe: Insuku zokulilela ubaba sezisondele, khona ngizambulala umnawami uJakobe.
Ale Esau lé fu nɔvia Yakob ɖe eƒe yayra si fofoa tsɔ nɛ la ta. Egblɔ na eɖokui be, “Esusɔ vie fofonye naku, ekema mawu Yakob.”
42 Kwathi uRebeka etshelwa amazwi kaEsawu indodana yakhe enkulu, wathuma wabiza uJakobe indodana yakhe encinyane, wathi kuye: Khangela, uEsawu umnewenu uyaziduduza ngawe ukuthi akubulale.
Ke ame aɖe va nya nu tso Esau ƒe tameɖoɖo ŋu, eye wòɖo afɔ afɔta na Rebeka. Eya ta Rebeka yɔ Yakob, eye wògblɔ nɛ be, “Esau le nugbe ɖom ɖe wò agbe ŋuti.”
43 Ngakho khathesi, ndodana yami, lalela ilizwi lami; sukuma uzibalekele uye kuLabani umfowethu eHarani,
Rebeka yi edzi be, “Nu si nàwɔ fifia lae nye be nàsi ayi nyruiwò Laban gbɔ le Haran.
44 njalo uhlale laye insuku ezinlutshwana, ize idede intukuthelo yomnewenu,
Nɔ afi ma va se ɖe esime nɔviwò ƒe dɔmedzoe nu nafa,
45 kuze kuthi ulaka lomnewenu ludede kuwe, futhi akhohlwe lokho okwenze kuye; besengithuma ngikulande khona; kungani ngizalahlekelwa layini lobabili ngosuku lunye?
eye wòaŋlɔ nu si nèwɔ ɖe eŋu la be. Ekema maɖo du ɖe wò, elabena manyo be mi ame evea siaa miabu ɖem gbe ɖeka o.”
46 URebeka wasesithi kuIsaka: Nginengekile yimpilo ngenxa yamadodakazi kaHethi; uba uJakobe ethatha umfazi kumadodakazi kaHethi anjengala, emadodakazini alelilizwe, ngiphilelani?
Emegbe la, Rebeka gblɔ na Isak be, “Hiti ɖetugbiwo ƒe nya tim. Malɔ̃ be maku tsɔ wu be makpɔ Yakob wòaɖe wo dometɔ ɖeka.”
