UGenesisi 29
1 UJakobe wasephakamisa inyawo zakhe, waya elizweni labantwana bempumalanga.
Yakob yi eƒe mɔzɔzɔ dzi, eye wòva ɖo ɣedzeƒenutowo me.
2 Wasebona, khangela-ke, umthombo emmangweni, khangela-ke lapho, imihlambi emithathu yezimvu yayilele kuwo, ngoba kulowomthombo banathisa imihlambi; kwakukhona ilitshe elikhulu emlonyeni womthombo.
Ekpɔ alẽha etɔ̃ wotsyɔ akɔ anyi ɖe gbe dzi le vudo aɖe to, nɔ lalam be woana tsi yewo yewoano. Ke wotsɔ kpe gã aɖe tu vudoa nu.
3 Njalo yonke imihlambi yabuthelwa khona, sebeligiqile ilitshe lisuka emlonyeni womthombo banathisa izimvu, basebebuyisela ilitshe emlonyeni womthombo endaweni yalo.
Enye woƒe kɔnu be womahe kpea ɖa o va se ɖe esime alẽhawo katã nava ɖo afi ma. Ne wona tsi alẽhawo katã wono vɔ la, wogamlia kpe la ɖoa vudo la nu.
4 UJakobe wasesithi kibo: Bazalwane bami, livela ngaphi? Basebesithi: Sivela eHarani.
Yakob te ɖe alẽkplɔlawo ŋu, eye wòbia wo be, “Nɔvinyewo, afi ka míetso?” Woɖo eŋu be, “Míetso Haran.”
5 Wasesithi kibo: Liyamazi yini uLabani indodana kaNahori? Basebesithi: Siyamazi.
Yakob bia be, “Mienya ame aɖe si woyɔna be Laban, eye wònye Nahor ƒe via?” Woɖo eŋu be, “Ɛ̃, míenyae.”
6 Wasesithi kibo: Uyaphila yini? Basebesithi: Uphilile; khangela-ke, uRasheli indodakazi yakhe, uyeza lezimvu.
Egabia wo be, “Eli nyuiea?” Woɖo eŋu be, “Ɛ̃, eli nyuie, eye nuwo dze edzi nɛ. Kpɔ ɖa, via nyɔnu, Rahel kplɔ alẽwo gbɔnae.”
7 Wasesithi: Khangelani, kusesemini enkulu, kayisiso isikhathi sokuthi izifuyo zibuthaniswe; nathisani izimvu, lihambe lizidlise.
Yakob gabia wo be, “Nu ka ta miana tsi alẽawo ale be woate ŋu agatrɔ ayi gbeɖuƒe o ɖo? Elabena zã medo haɖe o; ne mieƒo ƒu wo ɖe afi sia fifia la, dɔ awu wo.”
8 Basebesithi: Singeke, kuze kubuthaniswe imihlambi yonke, bagiqe-ke ilitshe lisuke emlonyeni womthombo; khona sizanathisa izimvu.
Woɖo eŋu nɛ be, “Míemlia kpea ɖa o va se ɖe esime alẽhawo kple alẽkplɔlawo katã va ƒo ƒu ɖe afi sia.”
9 Esakhuluma labo, uRasheli wafika lezimvu, ezingezikayise, ngoba wayengumelusikazi.
Esi wonɔ nya siawo gblɔm la, Rahel va ɖo kple fofoa ƒe alẽwo, elabena alẽkplɔla wònye.
10 Kwasekusithi uJakobe ebona uRasheli indodakazi kaLabani umalumakhe lezimvu zikaLabani umalumakhe, uJakobe wasondela, waligiqa ilitshe lasuka emlonyeni womthombo, wazinathisa izimvu zikaLabani umalumakhe.
Esi Rahel nye Yakob dadaa nɔviŋutsu Laban ƒe vi, eye alẽawo nye Yakob nyrui tɔ ta la, Yakob yi vudo la gbɔ, mli kpea ɖa, eye wòna tsi nyruia ƒe alẽwo.
11 UJakobe wasemanga uRasheli, waphakamisa ilizwi lakhe wakhala izinyembezi.
Yakob gbugbɔ nu na Rahel, eye Yakob de asi avifafa me.
12 UJakobe wasemazisa uRasheli ukuthi ungumfowabo kayise lokuthi uyindodana kaRebeka. Wasegijima, wamazisa uyise.
Yakob gblɔ na Rahel be fofoa ƒe ƒometɔ kple Rebeka ƒe viŋutsu yenye. Ale Rahel ƒu du yi ɖagblɔ nya la na fofoa.
13 Kwasekusithi uLabani esezwile umbiko kaJakobe indodana kadadewabo, wagijima ukuyamhlangabeza, wamgona, wamanga, wamngenisa endlini yakhe. UJakobe waselandisela uLabani zonke lezizinto.
Esi Laban se nya sia tso Yakob, nɔvia nyɔnu ƒe viŋutsu ŋu la, eɖe abla yi ɖakpee. Ekpla asi kɔ nɛ, gbugbɔ nu nɛ, kplɔe yi aƒe me, eye Yakob gblɔ nyawo katã nɛ le afi ma.
14 ULabani wasesithi kuye: Isibili ulithambo lami lenyama yami. Wahlala laye inyanga yonke.
Laban gblɔ be, “Kpɔ ɖa, nye ŋutɔ nye ŋutilã kple ʋue nènye.” Esi Yakob nɔ Laban gbɔ ɣleti ɖeka la,
15 ULabani wasesithi kuJakobe: Njengoba ungumfowethu, usuzangisebenzela mahala yini? Ngitshela ukuthi umholo wakho uzakuba yini?
Laban gblɔ nɛ gbe ɖeka be, “Menye esi nye kple wò míenye ƒometɔwo ta nàwɔ dɔ nam dzodzro o. Ho neni maxe na wò?”
16 Njalo uLabani wayelamadodakazi amabili, ibizo lenkulu linguLeya lebizo lencinyane linguRasheli.
Vinyɔnu eve nɔ Laban si. Tsitsitɔ ŋkɔe nye Lea, eye ɖevitɔ ŋkɔe nye Rahel.
17 Kodwa uLeya wayelamehlo abuthakathaka, kodwa uRasheli wayemuhle ngesimo, njalo wayemuhle ngokukhangeleka.
Lea ƒe ŋkuwo nya kpɔna, eye Rahel ya dze tugbe ŋutɔ.
18 UJakobe wasemthanda uRasheli. Wathi: Ngizakusebenzela iminyaka eyisikhombisa ngoRasheli indodakazi yakho encane.
Rahel ƒe nu nyo Yakob ŋu, eya ta Yakob gblɔ na Laban be, “Ne àtsɔ Rahel nam maɖe la, ekema mawɔ dɔ na wò ƒe adre.”
19 ULabani wasesithi: Kungcono ukuthi ngimnike wena kulokuthi ngimnike enye indoda; hlala lami.
Laban ɖo eŋu be, “Melɔ̃. Enyo nam be matsɔe na wò boŋ wu be matsɔe na ame bubu aɖe si medo ƒome kplim o.”
20 UJakobe wasemsebenzela uRasheli iminyaka eyisikhombisa; yaba emehlweni akhe njengensuku ezinlutshwana, ngenxa yokumthanda kwakhe.
Ale Yakob subɔ ƒe adre ɖe Rahel ta. Ke ƒe adreawo ɖi ŋkeke ʋɛ aɖewo ko le eŋkume, elabena elɔ̃ Rahel ŋutɔ.
21 UJakobe wasesithi kuLabani: Ngipha umkami, ngoba insuku zami sezigcwalisekile, ukuthi ngingene kuye.
Mlɔeba la, ɣeyiɣi la de be wòaɖee. Yakob gblɔ na Laban be, “Mewɔ nu si nèɖo nam la, eya ta ele na wò azɔ be nàɖe asi le srɔ̃nye ŋu nam madɔ kplii.”
22 ULabani wasebuthanisa wonke amadoda aleyondawo, wenza idili.
Ale Laban ɖo kplɔ̃ gã aɖe, eye wòkpe ŋutsu siwo katã nɔ dua me la be woakpɔ dzidzɔ kple Yakob.
23 Kwasekusithi kusihlwa wathatha uLeya indodakazi yakhe wamusa kuye, wasengena kuye.
Emegbe le zã me la, Laban kplɔ Lea yi na Yakob, eye Yakob dɔ egbɔ.
24 ULabani wasemnika uZilipa incekukazi yakhe, kuLeya indodakazi yakhe, abe yincekukazi.
Laban tsɔ eƒe kosi Zilpa na Lea be wòanye eƒe dɔlanyɔnu.
25 Kwasekusithi ekuseni, khangela-ke, nguLeya; ngakho wathi kuLabani: Kuyini lokhu okwenze kimi? Kangimsebenzelanga uRasheli kuwe yini? Pho, ungikhohliseleni?
Ke esi ŋu ke la, Yakob kpɔ be Lea boŋ wona yeɖe! Yakob do dɔmedzoe, eye wòbia Laban be, “Amefuflu ka tɔgbie nye esia? Mesubɔ ƒe adre ɖe Rahel ta! Nu sia gɔme ɖe?”
26 ULabani wasesithi: Kakwenziwa njalo endaweni yakithi ukupha omncinyane ngaphambi kwengqabutho.
Laban ɖo eŋu be, “Mesɔ ɖe míaƒe kɔnyinyi nu be woaɖe ɖetugbi suetɔ gbã hafi woaɖe tsitsitɔ o.
27 Gcwalisa iviki yalo, besesikunika lalowayana, ngomsebenzi ozawusebenza lami futhi eminye iminyaka eyisikhombisa.
Lala ne wò srɔ̃ɖeɖe ƒe kɔsiɖa gbãtɔ nava yi, ekema àte ŋu aɖe Rahel hã ne àgasubɔm ƒe adre bubu ko!”
28 UJakobe wasesenza njalo; wagcwalisa iviki yalo; wasemnika uRasheli indodakazi yakhe ukuba ngumkakhe.
Yakob lɔ̃ be yeagasubɔ ƒe adre bubu, ale Laban tsɔ Rahel hã nɛ.
29 ULabani wasenika uRasheli indodakazi yakhe uBiliha incekukazi yakhe, abe yincekukazi kuye.
Laban tsɔ eƒe kosivi Bilha na Rahel be wòasubɔe.
30 Wasengena lakuRasheli; wamthanda njalo uRasheli kuloLeya, wasesebenza laye futhi eminye iminyaka eyisikhombisa.
Ale Yakob dɔ Rahel hã gbɔ. Elɔ̃ Rahel sãa wu Lea, eye wògasubɔ ƒe adre bubu.
31 Lapho iNkosi isibona ukuthi uLeya wayezondwa, yavula isizalo sakhe, kodwa uRasheli wayeyinyumba.
Ke esi Yakob melɔ̃ Lea tututu o ta la, Yehowa na vi Lea, eye wòna Rahel tsi ko.
32 ULeya wasethatha isisu, wazala indodana, wayitha ibizo layo uRubeni, ngoba wathi: Ngoba iNkosi ibonile inhlupheko yami; ngakho khathesi indoda yami izangithanda.
Ale Lea fɔ fu, eye wòdzi ŋutsuvi. Ena ŋkɔe be Ruben si gɔmee nye “Yehowa kpɔ nye xaxa,” elabena egblɔ be, “Yehowa kpɔ nye xaxa; azɔ la, srɔ̃nye alɔ̃m.”
33 Wasebuya wathatha isisu, wazala indodana, wathi: Njengoba iNkosi izwile ukuthi ngiyazondwa, inginike lale; wayitha ibizo layo uSimeyoni.
Eteƒe medidi hafi Lea gafɔ fu o. Egadzi ŋutsuvi, eye wòna ŋkɔe be Simeon si gɔmee nye “Yehowa see,” elabena egblɔ be, “Yehowa see be womelɔ̃m o, eya ta wògana ŋutsuvi bubum.”
34 Wasebuya wathatha isisu, wazala indodana; wathi: Khathesi ngalesisikhathi indoda yami izazihlanganisa lami, ngoba ngiyizalele amadodana amathathu; ngalokhu wabiza ibizo layo uLevi.
Egafɔ fu, eye wògadzi ŋutsuvi. Ena ŋkɔe be Levi si gɔmee nye “Kuku ɖe ame ŋu,” elabena egblɔ be, “Azɔ ya la, esi medzi ŋutsuvi etɔ̃ sɔŋ nɛ ta la, srɔ̃nye alɔ̃m kokoko.”
35 Wasebuya wathatha isisu, wazala indodana; wathi: Ngalesisikhathi ngizadumisa iNkosi; ngakho wayitha ibizo layo uJuda; wasesima ukuzala.
Lea gafɔ fu, gadzi ŋutsuvi, eye wòna ŋkɔe be Yuda si gɔmee nye “Kafukafu,” elabena egblɔ be, “Azɔ makafu Yehowa!” Emegbe la, Lea megadzi vi bubu aɖeke o.
