UGenesisi 27
1 Kwasekusithi uIsaka esemdala lamehlo akhe esefiphele engasaboni, wabiza uEsawu indodana yakhe enkulu, wathi kuye: Ndodana yami! Wasesithi kuye: Khangela ngilapha.
Isak bɔɔ akɔkoraa a nʼani so ayɛ no wisiwisi na ɔnhunu adeɛ papa no, ɛda koro bi, ɔfrɛɛ ne babarima panin Esau. “Me ba.” Ɛnna Esau gyee so sɛ, “Agya, menie.”
2 Wasesithi: Khangela-ke, sengimdala, angilwazi usuku lokufa kwami.
Isak kaa sɛ, “Seesei mabɔ akɔkoraa, na mennim ɛda a mɛwu.
3 Ngakho khathesi, ake uthathe izikhali zakho, isikhwama sakho semitshoko ledandili lakho, uphume uye egangeni ungizingelele inyama yenyamazana,
Fa wʼagyan ne wo bɛmma, na kɔ wiram kɔpɛ hanam bi brɛ me.
4 ungilungisele ukudla okumnandi njengengikuthandayo, ukulethe kimi ukuthi ngidle, ukuze umphefumulo wami ukubusise ngingakafi.
Fa noa mʼakɔnnɔduane no bi brɛ me, na menni, na menhyira wo ansa na mawu.”
5 URebeka wasesizwa lapho uIsaka ekhuluma loEsawu indodana yakhe. UEsawu wasesiya egangeni ukuyazingela inyama yenyamazana ukuze ayilethe.
Ɛberɛ a Isak ne ne ba Esau rekasa no, na Rebeka retie. Enti, ɛberɛ a Esau kɔɔ sɛ ɔrekɔkum ɛnam no aba pɛ, ɛnna
6 URebeka wasekhuluma kuJakobe indodana yakhe, esithi: Khangela, ngizwile uyihlo ekhuluma kuEsawu umnewenu, esithi:
Rebeka ka kyerɛɛ ne ba Yakob sɛ, “Yakob tie! Metee sɛ wʼagya reka akyerɛ wo nua Esau sɛ,
7 Ngilethela inyama yenyamazana, ungilungisele ukudla okumnandi ukuthi ngidle, ngikubusise phambi kweNkosi ngingakafi.
‘Kɔpɛ hanam bi fa noa mʼakɔnnɔduane no bi brɛ me, na menni, na menhyira wo wɔ Awurade anim, ansa na mawu.’
8 Ngakho khathesi, ndodana yami, lalela ilizwi lami kulokhu engikulaya khona.
Afei, me ba, tie asɛm a merebɛka akyerɛ wo yi yie, na di so.
9 Ake uye emhlanjini, ungithathele lapho amazinyane amabili amahle ezimbuzi, ngizawenzela uyihlo ukudla okumnandi njengalokho akuthandayo;
Kɔ nnwankuo no mu, na kɔkyere nnwan mmienu a wɔadɔre sradeɛ brɛ me, na memfa nnoa akɔnnɔduane, sɛdeɛ wʼagya pɛ no pɛpɛɛpɛ mma no.
10 uzakusa-ke kuyihlo ukuthi adle, ukuze akubusise engakafi.
Sɛ menoa wie a, fa kɔma no, na ɔnni, na ɔnhyira wo ansa na wawu.”
11 UJakobe wasesithi kuRebeka unina: Khangela, uEsawu umnewethu uyindoda elihwanqa, kodwa ngiyindoda ebutshelezi.
Yakob ka kyerɛɛ ne maame Rebeka sɛ, “Wonim sɛ me nua Esau ho wɔ nwi, na me nso, me ho yɛ toromtorom.
12 Mhlawumbe ubaba uzangiphulula, besengisiba emehlweni akhe njengomhleka usulu, njalo ngizilethele isiqalekiso kungabi-ke yisibusiso.
Sɛ ɛba sɛ mʼagya de ne nsa fa me ho, na ɔhunu sɛ ɛnyɛ Esau a, ɛbɛyɛ sɛ gyama meredaadaa no, na wadome me mmom, sene sɛ anka ɔbɛhyira me.”
13 Unina wasesithi kuye: Isiqalekiso sakho kasibe phezu kwami, ndodana yami; kuphela lalela ilizwi lami, uhambe ungithathele wona.
Yakob maame ka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Me ba, ma nnome no mmra me so. Wo deɛ, yɛ deɛ maka akyerɛ wo no ara. Kɔ na kɔkyere nnwan no brɛ me.”
14 Wasehamba, wawathatha, wawaletha kunina; unina waselungisa ukudla okumnandi njengalokho uyise akuthandayo.
Enti, Yakob tiee ne maame Rebeka asɛm, kɔkyeree nnwan no brɛɛ no. Na ɔkumm wɔn, de noaa akɔnnɔduane bi, sɛdeɛ Isak pɛ no pɛpɛɛpɛ.
15 URebeka wasethatha izigqoko ezinhle zikaEsawu indodana yakhe enkulu, ayelazo endlini, wagqokisa uJakobe indodana yakhe encinyane;
Ɛno akyiri no, Rebeka faa ne ba panin Esau atadeɛ papa bi a ɛwɔ fie hɔ de maa ne ba Yakob hyɛeɛ.
16 lezikhumba zamazinyane ezimbuzi wazifaka ezandleni zakhe lebutshelezini bentamo yakhe.
Afei, ɔde nnwan a wɔkumm wɔn no nwoma yɛɛ ahyɛnsa, kataa Yakob nsa ho. Ɔde bi kataa ne kɔn ho nyinaa.
17 Wasenika ukudla okumnandi lesinkwa ayekulungisile esandleni sikaJakobe indodana yakhe.
Ɔde burodo a wato no foforɔ kaa akɔnnɔduane a wanoa no ho, de maa ne ba Yakob.
18 Wasesiza kuyise wathi: Baba! Wasesithi: Khangela ngilapha; ungubani ndodana yami?
Yakob de aduane no kɔmaa nʼagya Isak wɔ ne dan mu. Ɔduruu hɔ no, ɔkaa sɛ, “Agya!” Isak buaa sɛ, “Mewɔ hɔ na wo hwan a?”
19 UJakobe wasesithi kuyise: NginguEsawu izibulo lakho; ngenze njengoba ungitshelile; ake uvuke uhlale, udle okwenyama yami yenyamazana, ukuze umphefumulo wakho ungibusise.
Yakob ka kyerɛɛ nʼagya sɛ, “Ɛyɛ me wʼabakan Esau. Mayɛ deɛ woka kyerɛɛ me sɛ menyɛ no. Mede hanam a wopɛ no bi anoa wʼakɔnnɔduane no abrɛ wo, enti mesrɛ wo, sɔre tena ase, na didi, na sɛ wodidi wie a, woahyira me.”
20 UIsaka wasesithi endodaneni yakhe: Kungani uyithole masinyane kangaka, ndodana yami? Wasesithi: Ngoba iNkosi uNkulunkulu wakho yenze ukuthi ize phambi kwami.
Isak bisaa ne ba no sɛ, “Ɛyɛɛ sɛn na wo ho ayɛ hare sɛɛ yi?” Yakob buaa sɛ, “Awurade, wo Onyankopɔn no, na ɔgyinaa mʼakyi maa me nsa kaa hanam no bi ntɛm.”
21 UIsaka wasesithi kuJakobe: Ake usondele ukuze ngikuphulule, ndodana yami, ukuthi uyindodana yami uEsawu uqobo, kumbe hatshi.
Afei, Isak ka kyerɛɛ Yakob sɛ, “Me ba, twe bɛn me, na memfa me nsa nka wo nhwɛ sɛ, wo ne me ba Esau no ampa anaa.”
22 UJakobe wasesondela kuIsaka uyise; wasemphulula wathi: Ilizwi liyilizwi likaJakobe, kodwa izandla ziyizandla zikaEsawu.
Yakob twe bɛn nʼagya Isak, na ɔde ne nsa kekaa ne ho kaa sɛ, “Nne yi yɛ Yakob nne, nanso nsa yi yɛ Esau deɛ.”
23 Kodwa kamazanga ngoba izandla zakhe zaziloboya njengezandla zomnewabo uEsawu; ngakho wambusisa.
Isak anhunu sɛ ɛyɛ Yakob, ɛfiri sɛ, na ne nsa ho wɔ nwi te sɛ ne nua Esau pɛpɛɛpɛ. Enti, ɔhyiraa no.
24 Wasesithi: Uyindodana yami uEsawu uqobo yini? Wasesithi: Nginguye.
Isak sane bisaa Yakob sɛ, “Enti, ampa ara sɛ wo ne me ba Esau no?” Yakob buaa sɛ, “Aane, me ne Esau.”
25 Wasesithi: Sondeza kimi ukuze ngidle okwenyama yenyamazana yendodana yami, ukuze umphefumulo wami ukubusise. Waseyisondeza kuye, wasesidla; waseletha kuye iwayini, wasenatha.
Afei, Isak kaa sɛ, “Me ba, fa wʼaduane no brɛ me na menni, na medi wie a, mahyira wo.” Yakob de aduane no brɛɛ nʼagya Isak, na ɔdiiɛ; ɔsane de nsã brɛɛ no ma ɔnomeeɛ.
26 Uyise uIsaka wasesithi kuye: Ake usondele, ungange, ndodana yami.
Isak wieeɛ no, ɔka kyerɛɛ Yakob sɛ, “Me ba, bra bɛfe mʼano!”
27 Wasesondela, wamanga; wasenuka iphunga lezembatho zakhe, wambusisa wathi: Khangela, iphunga lendodana yami linjengephunga lensimu iNkosi eyibusisileyo.
Enti, Yakob kɔɔ nʼagya Isak nkyɛn kɔfee nʼano. Ɛberɛ a Isak huaa Yakob atadeɛ mu, na ɔgye too mu sɛ, ɛyɛ ne ba Esau no, ɔhyiraa no sɛ, “Ampa ara! Me ba ho hwa te sɛ ehwa a ɛfiri afuo a Awurade ahyira so no mu.
28 Ngakho uNkulunkulu akunike okwamazolo amazulu lokokuvunda komhlaba, lenala yamabele lewayini elitsha.
Onyankopɔn mma wo ɔsoro bosuo ne asase mu sradeɛ, na afuom aduane ne nsã mmu wo so.
29 Abantu kabakukhonze, lezizwe zikukhothamele. Bana yinkosi yabafowenu, lamadodana kanyoko akukhothamele. Okuqalekisayo kaqalekiswe, lokubusisayo kabusiswe!
Amanaman bɛsom wo, na nnipa nyinaa abu wo nkotodwe. Wobɛdi wo nuanom so, na wo maame mma nso akoto wo. Wɔbɛdome wɔn a wɔdome wo nyinaa, na wɔn a wɔhyira wo nyinaa nso, wɔbɛhyira wɔn.”
30 Kwasekusithi uIsaka eseqedile ukubusisa uJakobe, kwathi uJakobe esanda ukuphuma phambi kukaIsaka uyise, uEsawu umnewabo wafika evela ekuzingeleni kwakhe.
Isak hyiraa Yakob wieeɛ, na ɔfirii nʼagya nkyɛn kɔeɛ ara pɛ, na ne nua Esau firi nʼahayɔ baeɛ.
31 Laye futhi walungisa ukudla okumnandi, wakusa kuyise; wathi kuyise: Ubaba kavuke, adle okwenyama yenyamazana yendodana yakhe, ukuze umphefumulo wakho ungibusise.
Ɔno nso noaa akɔnnɔduane brɛɛ nʼagya. Na ɔka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Agya, sɔre na di me hanamduane no, na hyira me.”
32 UIsaka uyise wasesithi kuye: Ungubani? Wasesithi: Ngiyindodana yakho, izibulo lakho uEsawu.
Nʼagya Isak bisaa no sɛ, “Na hwan nie?” Esau buaa sɛ, “Ɛyɛ me wʼabakan Esau.”
33 UIsaka wasethuthumela ngokuthuthumela okukhulukazi, wathi: Pho, ngubani ozingele inyama yenyamazana wayiletha kimi, ngasengisidla okwayo yonke ungakafiki? Ngimbusisile, yebo uzabusiswa.
Isak tee saa asɛm yi pɛ, ne ho hyɛɛ aseɛ wosoo biribiribiri, na ɔbisaa sɛ, “Ɛnneɛ, na hwan na ɔkɔɔ ahayɔ kɔkumm ɛnam de noaa aduane brɛɛ me yi. Medidi wieeɛ hyiraa onipa ko no pɛ na wobaeɛ yi? Nokorɛ mu ni, nhyira a mahyira no no, sɛ mesane mʼano a, ɛrenyɛ yie!”
34 Kwathi uEsawu esezwe amazwi kayise, wakhala ngokukhala okukhulu lokubuhlungu isibili, wathi kuyise: Ngibusisa lami njalo, baba!
Ɛberɛ a Esau tee asɛm a nʼagya kaeɛ no, ɔno nso de awerɛhoɔ teaam dendeenden, ka kyerɛɛ nʼagya sɛ, “Agya! Hyira me. Hyira me nso bi!”
35 Wasesithi: Umfowenu ufike ngenkohliso, wathatha isibusiso sakho.
Nanso, Isak kaa sɛ, “Ɛnneɛ, na wo nua na ɔde nnaadaa abɛgye wo nhyira kɔ!”
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 kaa sɛ, “Ɛnyɛ nwanwa sɛ wɔfrɛ no Yakob a aseɛ kyerɛ nantitwitwafoɔ. Yei ne ne mprenu so a wadaadaa me. Deɛ ɛdi ɛkan ne sɛ, ɔdaadaa me gyee me panin. Deɛ ɛtɔ so mmienu nso ne sɛ, ɔde nnaadaa agye me nhyira!” Afei, Esau bisaa nʼagya sɛ, “Enti, woannya me nhyira no bi a wode bɛhyira me nso?”
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 buaa Esau sɛ, “Manya de no ayɛ wo wura dada. Mede ne nuanom nyinaa ayɛ ne nkoa. Mahyira no sɛ, ɔbɛnya afuom nnuane ne nsã foforɔ bebree. Na afei, ɛdeɛn bio na aka a mɛtumi ayɛ ama wo, me ba?”
38 UEsawu wasesithi kuyise: Ulesibusiso esisodwa yini, baba? Ngibusisa lami njalo, baba. UEsawu waphakamisa ilizwi lakhe wakhala inyembezi.
Esau bisaa nʼagya sɛ, “Agya, enti nhyira baako pɛ na wowɔ? Ao, agya, hyira me nso bi!”
39 UIsaka uyise wasephendula wathi kuye: Khangela, umuzi wakho uzakuba khatshana lokuvunda komhlaba lakhatshana lamazolo amazulu avela phezulu.
Afei, nʼagya Isak buaa no sɛ, “Tie! Asase kesee so na wobɛtena, na ɛsoro bosuo rentɔ wɔ so.
40 Njalo uzaphila ngenkemba yakho, uzakhonza umfowenu. Kodwa kuzakuthi lapho usuphunyuka, uzakwephula ijogwe lakhe entanyeni yakho.
Wode wo akofena na ɛbɛtena ase, na woasom wo nua kumaa. Nanso, daakye bi, sɛ wokentene wo ho a, wobɛfiri wo nua no som ase.”
41 UEsawu wasemzonda uJakobe ngenxa yesibusiso uyise ayembusise ngaso. UEsawu wasesithi enhliziyweni yakhe: Insuku zokulilela ubaba sezisondele, khona ngizambulala umnawami uJakobe.
Esiane Esau nhyira a Yakob kɔdaadaa wɔn agya Isak gyeeɛ no enti, Esau tanee Yakob. Esau kaa wɔ ne tirim sɛ, “Ɛrenkyɛre, na mʼagya Isak awu. Sɛ ɔnya wu a, mɛkum me nua 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.
Obi tee adwene a Esau afa wɔ ne nua kumaa Yakob ho no, ɔkɔbɔɔ wɔn maame Rebeka amanneɛ. Enti, Rebeka soma kɔfrɛɛ ne ba kumaa Yakob, na ɔka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Wo nua Esau abɔ ne tirim sɛ, sɛ ɔnya wo a, ɔbɛkum wo ansa na ne bo atɔ ne yam.
43 Ngakho khathesi, ndodana yami, lalela ilizwi lami; sukuma uzibalekele uye kuLabani umfowethu eHarani,
Enti, me ba, tie asɛm a merebɛka akyerɛ wo yi yie. Dwane ntɛm kɔ me nua Laban nkyɛn wɔ Haran.
44 njalo uhlale laye insuku ezinlutshwana, ize idede intukuthelo yomnewenu,
Tena ne nkyɛn kakra wɔ hɔ, kɔsi sɛ, wo nua Esau bo bɛdwo.
45 kuze kuthi ulaka lomnewenu ludede kuwe, futhi akhohlwe lokho okwenze kuye; besengithuma ngikulande khona; kungani ngizalahlekelwa layini lobabili ngosuku lunye?
Sɛ wo nua akoma tɔ ne yam, na ne werɛ firi deɛ woyɛɛ no, na ɔgyaa mu ma ɛka a, mɛsoma abɛka akyerɛ wo, na woafiri Haran aba. Adɛn enti na ɛsɛ sɛ metena hɔ hwɛ, na me mma baanu bom wu ɛda koro?”
46 URebeka wasesithi kuIsaka: Nginengekile yimpilo ngenxa yamadodakazi kaHethi; uba uJakobe ethatha umfazi kumadodakazi kaHethi anjengala, emadodakazini alelilizwe, ngiphilelani?
Enti, Rebeka ka kyerɛɛ Isak sɛ, “Saa Hetifoɔ mmabaawa yi koraa ama asetena afono me. Sɛ ɛkɔba sɛ Yakob nso kɔware Hetifoɔ asase so mmabaawa yi bi a, mmaa te sɛ yeinom bi a, ɛnneɛ, na mewuiɛ koraa a, anka ɛyɛ.”
