Ka Chineke Onye pụrụ ime ihe niile, gọzie gị, mee ka ị mịa mkpụrụ, mụbaa, ghọọ ọtụtụ mba.
4 abesekupha isibusiso sikaAbrahama, kuwe lenzalweni yakho kanye lawe, ukuze udle ilifa lelizwe lapho ohlala khona njengowezizwe, uNkulunkulu alinika uAbrahama.
Ka Chineke nye gị na ụmụ ụmụ gị ngọzị ahụ o kwere nkwa inye Ebraham. Ka i nweta ala a, nke i bi nʼime ya ugbu a dịka ọbịa, bụ ala ahụ Chineke kwere Ebraham na nkwa inye ya.”
5 UIsaka wasethuma uJakobe waya ePadani-Arama kuLabani indodana kaBethuweli umSiriya, umfowabo kaRebeka unina kaJakobe loEsawu.
Mgbe ahụ Aịzik zipụrụ Jekọb nʼije ya, ọ gara Padan Aram, nʼụlọ Leban nwa Betuel onye Aram, nwanne Ribeka onye bụ nne Jekọb na Ịsọ.
6 UEsawu wasebona ukuthi uIsaka umbusisile uJakobe, wamthuma ePadani-Arama ukuze azithathele khona umfazi, lapho embusisa wamlaya esithi: Ungathathi umfazi kumadodakazi eKhanani;
Ịsọ hụrụ ka Aịzik siri gọzie Jekọb, ziga ya Padan Aram ka ọ gaa lụọ nwunye nʼebe ahụ, nyekwa ya iwu mgbe ọ na-agọzi ya sị, “Alụla nwanyị na Kenan,”
7 lokuthi uJakobe walalela oyise lonina, waya ePadani-Arama.
Jekọb rubekwara nna ya na nne ya isi gawa Padan Aram.
8 UEsawu wasebona ukuthi amadodakazi eKhanani ayemabi emehlweni kaIsaka uyise.
O dokwara Ịsọ anya na ndị inyom Kenan dị njọ nʼanya nna ya Aịzik.
9 Ngakho uEsawu waya kuIshmayeli, wazithathela uMahalathi indodakazi kaIshmayeli, indodana kaAbrahama, udadewabo kaNebayothi, abe ngumkakhe phezu kwabafazi ayelabo.
Nʼihi ya, Ịsọ gakwuru Ishmel lụrụ Mahalat, ada Ishmel, nwa Ebraham, onye bụ nwanyị Nebaiot, tinyekwara ndị nwunye ọ lụrụ na mbụ.
10 UJakobe wasephuma eBherishebha waya eHarani.
Jekọb hapụrụ Bịasheba gawa Haran.
11 Wafika endaweni, achitha khona ubusuku ngoba ilanga lalitshonile. Wasethatha ilitshe ematsheni aleyondawo, wenza umqamelo wakhe, walala kuleyondawo.
Mgbe chi na-eji, ọ kwụsịrị ebe ọ ga-anọ zuo ike abalị. Mgbe ọ chọrọ idina ala, o weere otu nʼime nkume ndị dị nʼebe ahụ hinye nʼisi ya, dinara ala ịrahụ ụra.
12 Waphupha, khangela-ke, ilele limisiwe emhlabeni, isihloko salo sifinyelela emazulwini, khangela-ke, ingilosi zikaNkulunkulu zisenyuka zisehla kulo.
Nʼabalị ahụ, ọ rọrọ nrọ, hụ mbube e ji arị elu. E mere ka o guzo site nʼụwa ruo nʼeluigwe. Ọ hụkwara ndị mmụọ ozi Chineke ka ha si na ya na-arịgo na-arịdakwa.
13 Khangela-ke, iNkosi yema phezu kwalo, yathi: NgiyiNkosi uNkulunkulu kaAbrahama uyihlo loNkulunkulu kaIsaka; ilizwe olele kulo, ngizakunika lona, lenzalo yakho;
Nʼelu ya, ọ hụrụ Onyenwe anyị ka o guzo, nụkwa ka ọ na-agwa ya okwu sị, “Mụ onwe m bụ Onyenwe anyị, Chineke nna gị Ebraham, na Chineke Aịzik. Aga m enye gị na ụmụ ụmụ gị ala ahụ nke i dina nʼelu ya.
14 njalo inzalo yakho izakuba ngangothuli lomhlaba, uzasabalalela entshonalanga lempumalanga lenyakatho leningizimu; njalo zizabusiswa kuwe zonke insendo zomhlaba, lasenzalweni yakho.
Ụmụ gị ga-adị ukwuu, dị ka aja dị nʼala. Ha ga-ejupụta ala a, site nʼọwụwa anyanwụ ruo nʼọdịda anyanwụ, sitekwa nʼugwu ruo na ndịda. A ga-esitekwa na gị na mkpụrụ gị, gọzie mba niile nke ụwa a.
15 Khangela-ke, ngilawe, ngizakulondoloza kuzo zonke indawo lapha oya khona, ngikubuyise kulelilizwe; ngoba kangiyikukutshiya ngize ngikwenze lokho engikhulume ngakho kuwe.
Anọnyeere m gị. Aga m echebe gị ebe ọbụla ị na-aga. Aga m akpọghachite gị nʼala a. Agaghị m ahapụ gị tutu ruo mgbe m mezuoro gị ihe niile m kwere gị na nkwa.”
16 Kwathi uJakobe ephaphama ebuthongweni bakhe, wathi: Isibili iNkosi ikulindawo, mina-ke bengingakwazi.
Jekọb tetara nʼụra sị, “Nʼezie Onyenwe anyị nọ nʼebe a. Ma amaghị m ya.”
17 Wasesesaba wathi: Yesabeka kangakanani lindawo! Kayisilutho ngaphandle kokuthi yindlu kaNkulunkulu, laleli lisango lamazulu.
Ọ tụrụ egwu sị, “Lee ka ebe a si dị oke egwu, o nweghị ihe ebe a bụ karịa ụlọ Chineke, nʼezie ọ bụ ọnụ ụzọ ama eluigwe.”
18 UJakobe wasevuka ekuseni kakhulu, wathatha ilitshe alenza laba ngumqamelo wakhe, walimisa laba yinsika, wathela amagcobo phezu kwesihloko salo.
Nʼisi ụtụtụ echi ya, Jekọb weere nkume ahụ o hinyere nʼisi ya guzo ya dịka ogidi, wụsa mmanụ nʼelu ya.
19 Wasebiza ibizo laleyondawo iBhetheli; kodwa-ke kuqala ibizo lomuzi laliyiLuzi.
Ọ kpọrọ ebe ahụ Betel, ọ bụ ezie na Luz bụ aha obodo ahụ na mbụ.
20 UJakobe wasethembisa isithembiso esithi: Uba uNkulunkulu ezakuba lami, angilondoloze kulindlela engiyihambayo, angiphe isinkwa sokudla, lesembatho sokwembatha,
Mgbe ahụ, Jekọb kwere nkwa sị, “Ọ bụrụ na Chineke ga-anọnyere m, chebe m nʼije m na-eje, ọ bụrụ na ọ ga-enye m ihe oriri m ga-eri na uwe m ga-eyi,
21 njalo ngibuyele ngokuthula endlini kababa, khona iNkosi izakuba nguNkulunkulu wami,
m lọghachi nʼụlọ nna m nʼudo, mgbe ahụ, Onyenwe anyị ga-abụ Chineke m.
22 lelitshe leli engilimise ukuthi libe yinsika lizakuba yindlu kaNkulunkulu; kukho konke ozangipha khona, isibili ngizakunika okwetshumi.
Nkume a m doziri elu dịka ogidi ga-abụ ụlọ Chineke. Aga m eke ihe niile i nyere m ụzọ iri, nyeghachi gị otu ụzọ.”
