UGenesisi 29
1 UJakobe wasephakamisa inyawo zakhe, waya elizweni labantwana bempumalanga.
A LAILA, hele aku la o Iakoba i. kona hele ana, a hiki aku la i ka aina o na kanaka o ka hikina.
2 Wasebona, khangela-ke, umthombo emmangweni, khangela-ke lapho, imihlambi emithathu yezimvu yayilele kuwo, ngoba kulowomthombo banathisa imihlambi; kwakukhona ilitshe elikhulu emlonyeni womthombo.
Nana aku la ia, aia hoi, he luawai ma ke kula, a me na ohana hipa ekolu e moe ana ilaila: no ka mea, ua hoohainuia na ohana holoholona i ka wai o ua luawai la: a aia maluna o ka waha o ka luawai he pohaku nui.
3 Njalo yonke imihlambi yabuthelwa khona, sebeligiqile ilitshe lisuka emlonyeni womthombo banathisa izimvu, basebebuyisela ilitshe emlonyeni womthombo endaweni yalo.
Ilaila i hoakoakoaia'i na ohana holoholona a pau: olokaa ae la lakou i ka pohaku mai ka waha ae o ka luawai, a hoohainu iho la i na hipa; a kau hou iho la i ka pohaku maluna o ka waha o ka luawai, ma kona wahi.
4 UJakobe wasesithi kibo: Bazalwane bami, livela ngaphi? Basebesithi: Sivela eHarani.
I aku la o Iakoba ia lakou, E kuu mau hoahanau, nohea oukou? I mai la lakou, No Harana makou.
5 Wasesithi kibo: Liyamazi yini uLabani indodana kaNahori? Basebesithi: Siyamazi.
I aku la ia ia lakou, Ua ike anei oukou ia Labana, ka moopuna a Nahora? I mai la lakou, Ua ike no makou.
6 Wasesithi kibo: Uyaphila yini? Basebesithi: Uphilile; khangela-ke, uRasheli indodakazi yakhe, uyeza lezimvu.
I aku la ia ia lakou, E ola ana anei oia? I mai la lakou, E ola ana no, aia hoi, ke hele mai la o Rahela, o kana kaikamahine me ka pua hipa.
7 Wasesithi: Khangelani, kusesemini enkulu, kayisiso isikhathi sokuthi izifuyo zibuthaniswe; nathisani izimvu, lihambe lizidlise.
I aku la ia, Aia hoi, he la okoa keia; aole i hiki ka manawa e houluulu ai i na bipi: e hoohainu oukou i na hipa, a hele e hanai.
8 Basebesithi: Singeke, kuze kubuthaniswe imihlambi yonke, bagiqe-ke ilitshe lisuke emlonyeni womthombo; khona sizanathisa izimvu.
I mai la lakou, Aole makou e hiki, a pau na ohana hipa i ka houluuluia, a olokaa ae lakou i ka pohaku, mai ka waha mai o ka luawai; alaila makou e hoohainu i na hipa.
9 Esakhuluma labo, uRasheli wafika lezimvu, ezingezikayise, ngoba wayengumelusikazi.
Ia ia i olelo ai me lakou, hiki mai la o Rahela me na hipa a kona makuakane: no ka mea, nana lakou i malama.
10 Kwasekusithi uJakobe ebona uRasheli indodakazi kaLabani umalumakhe lezimvu zikaLabani umalumakhe, uJakobe wasondela, waligiqa ilitshe lasuka emlonyeni womthombo, wazinathisa izimvu zikaLabani umalumakhe.
A ike aku la o Iakoba ia Rahela, ke kaikamahine a Labana, o ke kaikunane o kona makuwahine, a me ka poe hipa a Labana, o ke kaikunane o kona makuwahine, neenee aku la o Iakoba, olokaa ae la ia i ka pohaku mai ka waha ae o ka luawai, a hoohainu iho la i ka poe hipa a Labana, o ke kaikunane o kona makuwahine.
11 UJakobe wasemanga uRasheli, waphakamisa ilizwi lakhe wakhala izinyembezi.
Honi aku la o Iakoba ia Rahela, hookiekie ae la ia i kona leo, a uwe iho la.
12 UJakobe wasemazisa uRasheli ukuthi ungumfowabo kayise lokuthi uyindodana kaRebeka. Wasegijima, wamazisa uyise.
Hai aku la o Iakoba ia Rahela, he hoahanau ia no kona makuakane, a he keiki na Rebeka: holo aku la kela, a hai aku la i kona makuakane.
13 Kwasekusithi uLabani esezwile umbiko kaJakobe indodana kadadewabo, wagijima ukuyamhlangabeza, wamgona, wamanga, wamngenisa endlini yakhe. UJakobe waselandisela uLabani zonke lezizinto.
A lohe ae la o Labana i ka olelo no Iakoba no ke keikikane a kona kaikuwahine, holo mai la ia e halawai me ia, apo mai la ia ia, honi ae la, a kai aku la ia ia i kona hale. Hai aku la oia ia Labana ia mau mea a pau.
14 ULabani wasesithi kuye: Isibili ulithambo lami lenyama yami. Wahlala laye inyanga yonke.
Olelo mai la o Labana ia ia, He oiaio, o oe no kuu iwi, a me kuu io. A noho pu iho la oia me ia, hookahi malama.
15 ULabani wasesithi kuJakobe: Njengoba ungumfowethu, usuzangisebenzela mahala yini? Ngitshela ukuthi umholo wakho uzakuba yini?
Olelo mai la o Labana ia Iakoba, E hookauwa wale anei oe na'u, no kou pili hoahanau ana ia'u? e hai mai oe ia'u i kau uku.
16 Njalo uLabani wayelamadodakazi amabili, ibizo lenkulu linguLeya lebizo lencinyane linguRasheli.
Elua mau kaikamahine a Labana, o Lea ka inoa o ka mua, a o Rahela ka inoa o ka muli iho.
17 Kodwa uLeya wayelamehlo abuthakathaka, kodwa uRasheli wayemuhle ngesimo, njalo wayemuhle ngokukhangeleka.
He makawai ko Lea; aka, ua maikai o Rahela ke nana aku, a ua maikai kona helehelena.
18 UJakobe wasemthanda uRasheli. Wathi: Ngizakusebenzela iminyaka eyisikhombisa ngoRasheli indodakazi yakho encane.
Aloha aku la o Iakoba ia Rahela: i aku la ia, E hooikaika aku no au i kau hana i na makahiki ehiku no Rahela, no kau kaikamahine muli iho.
19 ULabani wasesithi: Kungcono ukuthi ngimnike wena kulokuthi ngimnike enye indoda; hlala lami.
I mai la o Labana, E aho no'u ke haawi aku ia ia nau, aole na ke kanaka e ae; e noho pu oe me au.
20 UJakobe wasemsebenzela uRasheli iminyaka eyisikhombisa; yaba emehlweni akhe njengensuku ezinlutshwana, ngenxa yokumthanda kwakhe.
Hooikaika aku la o Iakoba i na makahiki ehiku no Rahela; a he mau la uuku wale no ia i kona manao, no kona aloha ia ia.
21 UJakobe wasesithi kuLabani: Ngipha umkami, ngoba insuku zami sezigcwalisekile, ukuthi ngingene kuye.
I aku la o Iakoba ia Labana, E haawi mai oe i ka'u wahine, i komo ai au iloko io na la, no ka mea, ua hala ae nei ko'u mau la.
22 ULabani wasebuthanisa wonke amadoda aleyondawo, wenza idili.
Houluulu ae la o Labana i na kanaka a pau o ia wahi, a hana iho la i ka ahaaina,
23 Kwasekusithi kusihlwa wathatha uLeya indodakazi yakhe wamusa kuye, wasengena kuye.
A ahiahi iho la, lalau aku la ia i kana kaikamahine ia Lea, a lawe mai la ia ia io Iakoba la, a komo aku la ia io na la.
24 ULabani wasemnika uZilipa incekukazi yakhe, kuLeya indodakazi yakhe, abe yincekukazi.
Haawi aku la o Labana ia Zilepa i kona kaikamahine i kauwawahine na kana kaikamahine na Lea.
25 Kwasekusithi ekuseni, khangela-ke, nguLeya; ngakho wathi kuLabani: Kuyini lokhu okwenze kimi? Kangimsebenzelanga uRasheli kuwe yini? Pho, ungikhohliseleni?
A ao ae la, aia hoi, o Lea ka ia: i aku la o Iakoba ia Labana, Heaha keia mea au i hana mai ai ia'u? aole anei o Rahela ka'u i hooikaika aku ai nau? No ke aha hoi oe i hoopunipuni mai ai ia'u?
26 ULabani wasesithi: Kakwenziwa njalo endaweni yakithi ukupha omncinyane ngaphambi kwengqabutho.
I mai la o Labana, Aole pela e pono ke hana ma ko makou aina, ke haawi e aku i ka hanau hope mamua o ka hanau mua.
27 Gcwalisa iviki yalo, besesikunika lalowayana, ngomsebenzi ozawusebenza lami futhi eminye iminyaka eyisikhombisa.
E hoopau oe i ko ia nei hebedoma, alaila e haawi hoi makou ia Rahela nau, no ka hooikaika ana au e hooikaika ai me au, i na makahiki hou aku i ehiku.
28 UJakobe wasesenza njalo; wagcwalisa iviki yalo; wasemnika uRasheli indodakazi yakhe ukuba ngumkakhe.
Pela no o Iakoba i hana aku ai, a hoopau ae la i ko ia la hebedoma: a haawi aku la hoi oia ia Rahela i kana kaikamahine i wahine nana.
29 ULabani wasenika uRasheli indodakazi yakhe uBiliha incekukazi yakhe, abe yincekukazi kuye.
Haawi mai la o Labana ia Bileha i kona kaikamahine, i kauwawahine na Rahela, na kana kaikamahine.
30 Wasengena lakuRasheli; wamthanda njalo uRasheli kuloLeya, wasesebenza laye futhi eminye iminyaka eyisikhombisa.
Komo aku la hoi oia io Rahela la, a oi aku la kona aloha ia Rahela mamua o kona aloha ia Lea; a hooikaika aku la ia me Labana i na makahiki hou aku i ehiku.
31 Lapho iNkosi isibona ukuthi uLeya wayezondwa, yavula isizalo sakhe, kodwa uRasheli wayeyinyumba.
A ike iho la o Iehova, ua hoowahawahaia o Lea, hoohua iho la ia i kona opu: aka, ua pa o Rahela.
32 ULeya wasethatha isisu, wazala indodana, wayitha ibizo layo uRubeni, ngoba wathi: Ngoba iNkosi ibonile inhlupheko yami; ngakho khathesi indoda yami izangithanda.
Hapai iho la o Lea, a hanau mai la he keikikane, a kapa iho la ia i kona inoa o I Reubena: no ka mea, i mai la ia, He oiaio, ua nana mai o Iehova i kuu popilikia; ano hoi, e aloha mai auanei ka'u kane ia'u.
33 Wasebuya wathatha isisu, wazala indodana, wathi: Njengoba iNkosi izwile ukuthi ngiyazondwa, inginike lale; wayitha ibizo layo uSimeyoni.
Hapai hou iho la ia, a hanau mai la he keikikane; i mai la, No ka mea, ua lohe o Iehova i kuu hoowahawahaia, nolaila, ua haawi mai hoi oia i keia keikikane: kapa iho la ia i kona inoa, o I Simeona.
34 Wasebuya wathatha isisu, wazala indodana; wathi: Khathesi ngalesisikhathi indoda yami izazihlanganisa lami, ngoba ngiyizalele amadodana amathathu; ngalokhu wabiza ibizo layo uLevi.
Hapai hou iho la ia, a hanau mai la, he keikikane; i mai la, I keia manawa no, e hoopiliia mai auanei ka'u kane ia'u; no ka mea, ua hanau no wau i na keikikane ekolu nana: no ia mea i kapaia'i kona inoa, o I Levi.
35 Wasebuya wathatha isisu, wazala indodana; wathi: Ngalesisikhathi ngizadumisa iNkosi; ngakho wayitha ibizo layo uJuda; wasesima ukuzala.
Hapai hou iho la ia, a hanau mai la he keikikane: i mai la ia, Ano no, e hoolea aku wau ia Iehova; nolaila, kapa iho la ia i kona inoa, o I Iuda; a oki iho la kona hanau ana.
