< UGenesisi 27 >
1 Kwasekusithi uIsaka esemdala lamehlo akhe esefiphele engasaboni, wabiza uEsawu indodana yakhe enkulu, wathi kuye: Ndodana yami! Wasesithi kuye: Khangela ngilapha.
I KO Isaaka manawa i elemakule ai, a powehiwehi ai kona mau maka, a hiki ole ia ia ke ike aku; hea aku la oia ia Esau i kana keiki mua, i aku la ia ia, E kuu keiki: i mai la kela, Eia wau.
2 Wasesithi: Khangela-ke, sengimdala, angilwazi usuku lokufa kwami.
I aku la oia, Eia hoi, ua elemakule au, aole hoi au i ike i kuu la e make ai:
3 Ngakho khathesi, ake uthathe izikhali zakho, isikhwama sakho semitshoko ledandili lakho, uphume uye egangeni ungizingelele inyama yenyamazana,
Ano hoi, e lawe oe i kau mau mea pana, i kau aapua a me kau kakaka, e hele aku oe i ka nahelehele e imi i kahi io na'u;
4 ungilungisele ukudla okumnandi njengengikuthandayo, ukulethe kimi ukuthi ngidle, ukuze umphefumulo wami ukubusise ngingakafi.
A e hana oe i mea ono na'u i ka mea hoi a'u i ono ai, a e lawe mai oe i o'u nei, i paina au, a i hoomaikai aku kuu uhane ia oe mamua o kuu make ana.
5 URebeka wasesizwa lapho uIsaka ekhuluma loEsawu indodana yakhe. UEsawu wasesiya egangeni ukuyazingela inyama yenyamazana ukuze ayilethe.
Lohe ae la o Rebeka i ka wa a Isaaka i olelo aku ai ia Esau i kana keiki A hele aku o Esau i ka nahelehele e imi aku a e lawe mai i ka io o ka holoholona hihiu.
6 URebeka wasekhuluma kuJakobe indodana yakhe, esithi: Khangela, ngizwile uyihlo ekhuluma kuEsawu umnewenu, esithi:
Olelo aku la o Rebeka ia Iakoba i kana keiki, i aku la, Aia hoi, ua lohe iho nei au i kou makuakane e olelo ana i kou kaikuaana ia Esau, i ka i ana ae,
7 Ngilethela inyama yenyamazana, ungilungisele ukudla okumnandi ukuthi ngidle, ngikubusise phambi kweNkosi ngingakafi.
E lawe mai oe io'u nei i io holoholona hihiu, a e hana i ka mea ono na'u, i paina au, a i hoomaikai hoi au ia oe imua o Iehova mamua o kuu make ana.
8 Ngakho khathesi, ndodana yami, lalela ilizwi lami kulokhu engikulaya khona.
Ano hoi, e kuu keiki, e hoolohe mai oe i ko'u leo, ma ka mea a'u e kauoha aku nei ia oe.
9 Ake uye emhlanjini, ungithathele lapho amazinyane amabili amahle ezimbuzi, ngizawenzela uyihlo ukudla okumnandi njengalokho akuthandayo;
E hele koke aku oe i ka poe holoholona, a e lawe mai i na keiki kao maikai i elua; a na'u no e hana i ka mea ono na kou makuakane, i kana mea i ono ai:
10 uzakusa-ke kuyihlo ukuthi adle, ukuze akubusise engakafi.
A e halihali aku oe ia mea i kou makuakane, i ai iho ia, a i hoomaikai mai oia ia oe mamua o kona make ana.
11 UJakobe wasesithi kuRebeka unina: Khangela, uEsawu umnewethu uyindoda elihwanqa, kodwa ngiyindoda ebutshelezi.
Olelo mai la o Iakoba ia Rebeka i kona makuwahine, Aia hoi, he kanaka huluhulu o Esau kuu kai kuaana, a he kanaka pahee no wau:
12 Mhlawumbe ubaba uzangiphulula, besengisiba emehlweni akhe njengomhleka usulu, njalo ngizilethele isiqalekiso kungabi-ke yisibusiso.
A e hana mai paha kuu makuakane ia'u, a e ikea auanei au e ia he mea hoopunipuni; a e hooili mai au i ka hoinoia maluna iho o'u, aole ka hoomaikaiia,
13 Unina wasesithi kuye: Isiqalekiso sakho kasibe phezu kwami, ndodana yami; kuphela lalela ilizwi lami, uhambe ungithathele wona.
I aku la kona makuwahine ia ia, Maluna iho o'u kou hoinoia, e kuu keiki; e hoolohe wale mai oe i ko'u leo, e kii aku, a e lawe mai io'u nei.
14 Wasehamba, wawathatha, wawaletha kunina; unina waselungisa ukudla okumnandi njengalokho uyise akuthandayo.
Kii aku la ia, a lawe mai la ia mau mea i kona makuwahine: a na kona makuwahine i hana i ka mea ono, a kona makuakane i ono ai.
15 URebeka wasethatha izigqoko ezinhle zikaEsawu indodana yakhe enkulu, ayelazo endlini, wagqokisa uJakobe indodana yakhe encinyane;
Lawe ae la o Rebeka i ka aahu maikai o kana keiki mua o Esau, i ka mea e waiho ana iloko o ka hale me ia, a hoaahu iho la ia Iakoba i kana keiki muli iho ia mea.
16 lezikhumba zamazinyane ezimbuzi wazifaka ezandleni zakhe lebutshelezini bentamo yakhe.
A hoopili aku la o Rebeka i na ili o na keiki kao maluna o kona mau lima, a me ka pahee o kona a-i.
17 Wasenika ukudla okumnandi lesinkwa ayekulungisile esandleni sikaJakobe indodana yakhe.
Haawi aku la ia i ka mea ono, a me ka berena ana i hoomakaukau ai, iloko o ka lima o Iakoba o kana keiki.
18 Wasesiza kuyise wathi: Baba! Wasesithi: Khangela ngilapha; ungubani ndodana yami?
A hele aku la ia i kona makuakane, i aku la, E kuu makuakane: i mai la kela, Eia no wau; owai la oe, e kuu keiki?
19 UJakobe wasesithi kuyise: NginguEsawu izibulo lakho; ngenze njengoba ungitshelile; ake uvuke uhlale, udle okwenyama yami yenyamazana, ukuze umphefumulo wakho ungibusise.
I aku la o Iakoba i kona makuakane, Owau no o Esau, o kau makahiapo; ua hana iho nei au i kau mea i kauoha mai ai; ke noi aku nei au, e ala mai oe, e noho a e ai iho i ka'u io o ka mea hihiu, i hoomaikai mai kou uhane ia'u.
20 UIsaka wasesithi endodaneni yakhe: Kungani uyithole masinyane kangaka, ndodana yami? Wasesithi: Ngoba iNkosi uNkulunkulu wakho yenze ukuthi ize phambi kwami.
I mai la o Isaaka i kana keiki, Pehea ka emoole o ka loaa ana o ia mea ia oe, e kuu keiki? I aku la kela, No ka mea, na Iehova na kou Akua i hoohalawai ia mea me au.
21 UIsaka wasesithi kuJakobe: Ake usondele ukuze ngikuphulule, ndodana yami, ukuthi uyindodana yami uEsawu uqobo, kumbe hatshi.
I mai la o Isaaka ia Iakoba, Ke noi aku nei au ia oe, e neenee mai a kokoke, i hana aku au ia oe, e kuu keiki, i ike au o ka'u keiki o Esau paha oe, aole paha.
22 UJakobe wasesondela kuIsaka uyise; wasemphulula wathi: Ilizwi liyilizwi likaJakobe, kodwa izandla ziyizandla zikaEsawu.
Neenee aku la o Iakoba io Isaaka la i kona makuakane: a hana mai la oia ia ia, i mai la, O ka leo, ka leo no o Iakoba, aka, o na lima, na lima no o Esau.
23 Kodwa kamazanga ngoba izandla zakhe zaziloboya njengezandla zomnewabo uEsawu; ngakho wambusisa.
Aole no i ikea oia, no ka mea, ua huluhulu kona mau lima, e like me na lima o kona kaikuaana, o Esau: a hoomaikai mai oia ia ia.
24 Wasesithi: Uyindodana yami uEsawu uqobo yini? Wasesithi: Nginguye.
Ninau mai la oia ia ia, O oe io no anei o ka'u keiki o Esau? I aku la kela, Owau no.
25 Wasesithi: Sondeza kimi ukuze ngidle okwenyama yenyamazana yendodana yami, ukuze umphefumulo wami ukubusise. Waseyisondeza kuye, wasesidla; waseletha kuye iwayini, wasenatha.
I mai la oia, E lawe mai ia mea a kokoke ia'u, a e ai iho no wau i ka io mea hihiu a kuu keiki, i hoomaikai aku kuu uhane ia oe, Lawe aku la o Iakoba a kokoke, a ai iho la kela: lawe aku la hoi oia i ka waina, a inu iho la kela.
26 Uyise uIsaka wasesithi kuye: Ake usondele, ungange, ndodana yami.
Olelo mai la kona makuakane o Isaaka ia ia, E hele mai oe a honi ia'u, e kuu keiki.
27 Wasesondela, wamanga; wasenuka iphunga lezembatho zakhe, wambusisa wathi: Khangela, iphunga lendodana yami linjengephunga lensimu iNkosi eyibusisileyo.
Hele aku la o Iakoba, a honi ae la ia ia: honi iho la o Isaaka i ke ala o kona aahu, hoomaikai mai la ia ia, i mai la, Aia, o ke ala o kuu keiki, ua like me ke ala o ka mahinaai a Iehova i hoomaikai ai:
28 Ngakho uNkulunkulu akunike okwamazolo amazulu lokokuvunda komhlaba, lenala yamabele lewayini elitsha.
E haawi mai ke Akua ia oe i ka hau no ka lani mai, me ka momona o ka honua, a me ka palaoa a me ka waina he nui:
29 Abantu kabakukhonze, lezizwe zikukhothamele. Bana yinkosi yabafowenu, lamadodana kanyoko akukhothamele. Okuqalekisayo kaqalekiswe, lokubusisayo kabusiswe!
E hookauwa mai na kanaka nau, a e moe iho na lahuikanaka imua ou, o lilo oe i haku maluna o kou poe hoahanau, a e moe iho na keiki o kou makuwahine imua ou: e hoinoia'ku na mea a pau e hoino mai ia oe, a e hoopomaikaiia'ku ka mea hoomaikai ia oe.
30 Kwasekusithi uIsaka eseqedile ukubusisa uJakobe, kwathi uJakobe esanda ukuphuma phambi kukaIsaka uyise, uEsawu umnewabo wafika evela ekuzingeleni kwakhe.
A oki ae la ka hoomaikai ana mai a Isaaka ia Iakoba, aneane hoi ole mai o Iakoba mai ke alo mai o Isaaka o kona makuakane, puka mai la hoi o Esau o kona kaikuaana mai kona imi mea hihiu ana.
31 Laye futhi walungisa ukudla okumnandi, wakusa kuyise; wathi kuyise: Ubaba kavuke, adle okwenyama yenyamazana yendodana yakhe, ukuze umphefumulo wakho ungibusise.
Hana no hoi oia i ka mea ono, a lawe mai hoi ia mea i kona makuakane, i aku la ia i kona makuakane, E ala mai oe, e kuu makuakane, a e ai iho i ka io mea hihia a kana keiki, i hoomaikai mai kou uhane ia'u.
32 UIsaka uyise wasesithi kuye: Ungubani? Wasesithi: Ngiyindodana yakho, izibulo lakho uEsawu.
Ninau mai la o Isaaka o kona makuakane ia ia, Owai oe? I aku la kela, Owau no o kau keiki, o kau makahiapo, o Esau.
33 UIsaka wasethuthumela ngokuthuthumela okukhulukazi, wathi: Pho, ngubani ozingele inyama yenyamazana wayiletha kimi, ngasengisidla okwayo yonke ungakafiki? Ngimbusisile, yebo uzabusiswa.
Haalulu nui loa iho la o Isaaka, i mai la, Owai? auhea hoi ka mea i kii i ka io mea hihiu, a i lawe mai hoi io'u nei, a ua ai iho nei au a pau, mamua o kou hiki ana mai, a ua hoomaikai au ia ia? Oiaio, oia ke hoomaikaiia.
34 Kwathi uEsawu esezwe amazwi kayise, wakhala ngokukhala okukhulu lokubuhlungu isibili, wathi kuyise: Ngibusisa lami njalo, baba!
A lohe ae la o Esau i ka olelo a kona makuakane, uwe iho la ia me ka uwe nui loa, i aku la ia i kona makuakane, E hoomaikai mai ia'u, ia'u hoi, e kuu makuakane,
35 Wasesithi: Umfowenu ufike ngenkohliso, wathatha isibusiso sakho.
I mai la kela, Ua hele mai nei kou kaikaina me ka maalea, a ua lawe aku i kou hoomaikaiia,
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?
I aku la oia, Aole anei i pono ke kapa ana ia ia o Iakoba? no ka mea, eia ka lua o kona kaili ana i ko'u pono: kaili aku la oia i ko ka hanaumua pono o'u; eia hoi, ano, ua kaili ae la oia i ko'u hoomaikaiia. I aku la hoi o Esau, Aole anei oe i malama no'u kekahi hoomaikai ana?
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?
Olelo mai la o Isaaka ia Esau, Aia hoi, ua hoolilo aku au ia ia i haku nou, a ua haawi aku no wau i kona poe hoahanau a pau i poe kauwa nana; ua malama aku hoi au ia ia i ka palaoa a me ka waina: a heaha ka'u e hana aku ai nau, e kuu keiki?
38 UEsawu wasesithi kuyise: Ulesibusiso esisodwa yini, baba? Ngibusisa lami njalo, baba. UEsawu waphakamisa ilizwi lakhe wakhala inyembezi.
I aku la o Esau i kona makuakane, Hookahi wale no anei au hoomaikai ana, e kuu makuakane? e hoomaikai mai oe ia'u hoi, e kuu makuakane. Hookiekie ae la o Esau i kona leo, a uwe iho la.
39 UIsaka uyise wasephendula wathi kuye: Khangela, umuzi wakho uzakuba khatshana lokuvunda komhlaba lakhatshana lamazolo amazulu avela phezulu.
Olelo mai la o Isaaka, kona makuakane, i mai la ia ia, Aia hoi, ma ka aina momona kou noho ana, a ma kahi o ka hau o ka lani mai luna iho.
40 Njalo uzaphila ngenkemba yakho, uzakhonza umfowenu. Kodwa kuzakuthi lapho usuphunyuka, uzakwephula ijogwe lakhe entanyeni yakho.
I kau pahikaua e ola auanei oe, a e hookauwa aku oe na kou kaikaina: a i ka manawa e loaa'i ia oe ke alii ana, alaila e haihai iho oe i kana anamo ma kou a-i.
41 UEsawu wasemzonda uJakobe ngenxa yesibusiso uyise ayembusise ngaso. UEsawu wasesithi enhliziyweni yakhe: Insuku zokulilela ubaba sezisondele, khona ngizambulala umnawami uJakobe.
Inaina aku la o Esau ia Iakoba, no ka hoomaikai ana a kona makuakane i hoomaikai aku ai ia ia: i iho la o Esau iloko o kona naau, Ua kokoke mai na la e kanikau ai i kuu makuakane; alaila au e pepehi ai i kuu kaikaina ia Iakoba.
42 Kwathi uRebeka etshelwa amazwi kaEsawu indodana yakhe enkulu, wathuma wabiza uJakobe indodana yakhe encinyane, wathi kuye: Khangela, uEsawu umnewenu uyaziduduza ngawe ukuthi akubulale.
Ua haiia'ku keia olelo ana a Esau ia Rebeka: hoouna aku la ia e hea ia Iakoba i kana keiki muli iho, i aku la ia ia, Aia hoi, o kou kaikuaana o Esau, e hooluolu ana oia ia ia iho nou, e pepehi iho ia oe.
43 Ngakho khathesi, ndodana yami, lalela ilizwi lami; sukuma uzibalekele uye kuLabani umfowethu eHarani,
Ano hoi, e kuu keiki, e hoolohe mai oe i kuu lee; e ku ae oe, e holo aku io Labana la, i kuu kaikunane ma Harana:
44 njalo uhlale laye insuku ezinlutshwana, ize idede intukuthelo yomnewenu,
E noho me ia i kekahi mau la, a huli ae ka inaina o kou kaikuaana mai ou aku la;
45 kuze kuthi ulaka lomnewenu ludede kuwe, futhi akhohlwe lokho okwenze kuye; besengithuma ngikulande khona; kungani ngizalahlekelwa layini lobabili ngosuku lunye?
A huli ae ka inaina o kou kaikuaana mai ou aku la, a poina ia ia kau mea i hana aku ai ia ia: alaila e hoouna aku no wau e hoihoi mai ia oe: no ke aha la e hooneleia mai au ia olua a elua i ka la hookahi?
46 URebeka wasesithi kuIsaka: Nginengekile yimpilo ngenxa yamadodakazi kaHethi; uba uJakobe ethatha umfazi kumadodakazi kaHethi anjengala, emadodakazini alelilizwe, ngiphilelani?
Olelo aku la o Rebeka ia Isaaka, Ua pauaho no wau i kuu ola ana, no na kaikamahine a ka Heta: ina e lawe o Iakoba i kekahi kaikamahine a ka Heta i wahine nana, e like me na kaikamahine o ka aina, pehea la wau e pono ai i kuu ola aua?
