1 Kwathi uRasheli esebonile ukuthi wayengamzaleli uJakobe, uRasheli waba lomona ngodadewabo, wathi kuJakobe: Nginika abantwana, kodwa nxa kungenjalo ngife.
Esi Rahel kpɔ be yemele vi dzim o la, eʋã ŋu nɔvia nyɔnu. Egblɔ na Yakob be, “Na madzi vi, ne menye nenema o la, maku.”
2 Ngakho lwavutha ulaka lukaJakobe kuRasheli, wathi: Ngisesikhundleni sikaNkulunkulu okwenqabele isithelo sesizalo yini?
Yakob do dɔmedzoe, eye wòbiae be, “Alo nyee nye Mawu, ame si na nètsi koa?”
3 Wasesithi: Khangela, incekukazi yami uBiliha, ngena kuye, ukuze azalele emadolweni ami, ukuze lami ngakhiwe kuye.
Rahel gblɔ nɛ be, “Metsɔ nye subɔla Bilha na wò, dɔ egbɔ ne wòadzi vi, eye viawo nazu vinyewo.”
4 Wasemnika uBiliha incekukazi yakhe abe ngumkakhe; uJakobe wasengena kuye.
Ale wòtsɔ Bilha nɛ wòzu srɔ̃a, eye wòdɔ egbɔ;
5 UBiliha wasethatha isisu, wamzalela uJakobe indodana.
efɔ fu, eye wòdzi ŋutsuvi na Yakob.
6 URasheli wasesithi: UNkulunkulu ungahlulele, njalo uzwile ilizwi lami, wanginika indodana. Ngakho wayitha ibizo layo uDani.
Rahel na ŋkɔe be Dan si gɔmee nye “Afiatsotso,” elabena egblɔ be, “Mawu tso afia nam, ese nye gbedodoɖa, eye wòna ŋutsuvim.”
7 UBiliha incekukazi kaRasheli wasebuya ethatha isisu, wamzalela uJakobe indodana yesibili.
Bilha, Rahel ƒe subɔla gafɔ fu, eye wòdzi ŋutsuvi evelia na Yakob.
8 URasheli wasesithi: Ngibindene lokubindana okulamandla lodadewethu, njalo ngehlula; ngakho wayitha ibizo layo uNafithali.
Rahel na ŋkɔe be Naftali si gɔmee nye “Hoʋiʋli,” elabena egblɔ be, “Mele ho ʋlim sesĩe kple nɔvinye, eye mele dzi ɖum!”
9 Kwathi uLeya esebonile ukuthi usemi ukuzala, wathatha uZilipa incekukazi yakhe, wamnika uJakobe abe ngumkakhe.
Azɔ esi Lea kpɔ be yemegale fu fɔm o la, etsɔ eƒe subɔla Zilpa na Yakob wòɖe.
10 UZilipa incekukazi kaLeya wasemzalela uJakobe indodana.
Le ɣeyiɣi kpui aɖe megbe la, Lea ƒe kosi Zilpa dzi ŋutsuvi na Yakob.
11 ULeya wasesithi: Kuyeza inhlanhla. Wayitha ibizo layo uGadi.
Lea na ŋkɔe be Gad si gɔmee nye “Dzɔgbenyui ɖi kpem!”
12 UZilipa incekukazi kaLeya wasemzalela uJakobe indodana yesibili.
Zilpa dzi ŋutsuvi evelia na Yakob, eye Lea na ŋkɔe be Aser si gɔmee nye “Dzidzɔ”,
13 ULeya wasesithi: Kungokwentokozo yami, ngoba amadodakazi azakuthi ngilentokozo. Wayitha ibizo layo uAsheri.
elabena egblɔ be, “Dzi dzɔm ale gbegbe! Nyɔnu bubuwo abu be woyram vavã!”
14 URubeni wasehamba ngensuku zokuvuna ingqoloyi, wafica amamandrake ensimini, wawaletha kuLeya unina. URasheli wasesithi kuLeya: Ake ungiphe emamandrakeni endodana yakho.
Gbe ɖeka le lũŋeɣi la, Ruben gbe agbitsa aɖewo tso gbe me vɛ na dadaa Lea. Rahel ɖe kuku na Lea be wòana agbitsa la ƒe ɖe ye.
15 Wasesithi kuye. Kuyinto encinyane yini ukuthi uthethe indoda yami? Usuzathatha lamamandrake endodana yami yini? URasheli wasesithi: Ngakho uzalala lawe ngalobubusuku ngenxa yamamandrake endodana yakho.
Ke Lea ɖo eŋu nɛ kple dɔmedzoe be, “Èxɔ srɔ̃nye le asinye sesẽtɔe! Ɖe esia mesɔ gbɔ na wò oa? Azɔ ɖe nèdi be yeagaxɔ vinye ƒe agbitsa hã?” Rahel gblɔ nublanuitɔe be, “Ne àna agbitsa la ƒe ɖem la, mana mɔ srɔ̃nye wòadɔ gbɔwò ɖe agbitsa la nu.”
16 Kwathi uJakobe esebuya evela emasimini kusihlwa, uLeya waphuma ukumhlangabeza, wathi: Kimi uzangena, ngoba ukukuqhatsha ngikuqhatshile ngamamandrake endodana yami. Waselala laye ngalobobusuku.
Gbe ma gbe fiẽ, esi Yakob tso gbedzi gbɔna la, Lea yi ɖakpee, gblɔ nɛ be, “Egbe la, nye gbɔe nàdɔ, elabena metsɔ agbitsa siwo vinye gbe vɛ la na Rahel ɖe tawò!” Ale Yakob dɔ Lea gbɔ.
17 UNkulunkulu wasemuzwa uLeya; wasethatha isisu, wamzalela uJakobe indodana yesihlanu.
Mawu se Lea ƒe gbedodoɖa, eye wòfɔ fu dzi ŋutsuvi atɔ̃lia nɛ.
18 ULeya wasesithi: UNkulunkulu unginikile umvuzo wami, ngoba ngayinika indoda yami incekukazi yami; waseyitha ibizo layo uIsakari.
Lea na ŋkɔe be Isaka si gɔmee nye “Fetu,” elabena egblɔ be, “Mawu tu fe nam, elabena metsɔ nye kosivi na srɔ̃nye wòɖe.”
19 ULeya wasephinda ethatha isisu, wamzalela uJakobe indodana yesithupha.
Egafɔ fu, eye wòdzi ŋutsuvi adelia na Yakob.
20 ULeya wasesithi: UNkulunkulu unginikile mina isipho esihle; khathesi indoda yami izahlala lami, ngoba ngiyizalele amadodana ayisithupha, waseyitha ibizo layo uZebuluni.
Ena ŋkɔe be Zebulon si gɔmee nye “Nunana,” elabena egblɔ be, “Mawu tsɔ nu nyuiwo to dzinye na srɔ̃nye. Azɔ la, srɔ̃nye abum, elabena medzi ŋutsuvi ade nɛ.”
21 Emva kwalokhu wasezala indodakazi, wayitha ibizo layo uDina.
Emegbe la, edzi nyɔnuvi, eye wòna ŋkɔe be Dina.
22 UNkulunkulu wasemkhumbula uRasheli, uNkulunkulu wasemuzwa, wavula isizalo sakhe.
Tete Mawu ɖo ŋku Rahel dzi le eƒe xaxa me, eye wòse eƒe gbedodoɖa heʋu eƒe vidzidɔ nu.
23 Wasethatha isisu, wazala indodana, wathi: UNkulunkulu ususile ihlazo lami.
Efɔ fu, dzi ŋutsuvi, eye wògblɔ be, “Mawu ɖe nye ŋukpe ɖa.”
24 Waseyitha ibizo layo uJosefa, esithi: INkosi kayengeze kimi enye indodana.
Ena ŋkɔ ɖevi la be Yosef, eye wògblɔ be, “Yehowa natsɔ ŋutsuvi bubu akpee nam.”
25 Kwasekusithi uRasheli esemzele uJosefa, uJakobe wathi kuLabani: Ngiyekela ngihambe ukuze ngiye endaweni yakithi, lelizweni lakithi.
Esi Rahel dzi Yosef vɔ megbe teti ko la, Yakob gblɔ na Laban be, “Medi be matrɔ ayi aƒe.
26 Ngipha omkami labantwana bami engibasebenzele kuwe ukuze ngihambe, ngoba wena uyazi umsebenzi wami engikusebenzele wona.
Na makplɔ srɔ̃nyewo kple vinyewo ɖe asi, elabena wò ŋutɔ ènya ale si mesubɔ wò ɖe wo tae.”
27 ULabani wasesithi kuye: Uba-ke ngithole umusa emehlweni akho; sengibonile ngokukhangela ukuthi iNkosi ingibusisile ngenxa yakho.
Laban gblɔ nɛ be, “Meɖe kuku, mègadzo le gbɔnye o, elabena to nukaka me la, menya be wò afi sia nɔnɔe na mekpɔ yayra geɖe siawo.
28 Wathi futhi: Ngimisela iholo lakho, njalo ngizakupha.
Ho neni mada ɖe fetu dzi na wò be nàganɔ gbɔnye? Ho sia ho si wòanye la, maxee na wò.”
29 Wasesithi kuye: Wena yazi ukuthi ngikusebenzele njani lokuthi izifuyo zakho bezinjani lami.
Yakob ɖo eŋu be, “Ènya ale si mesubɔ wò anukwaretɔe le ƒe geɖe siawo me kple ale si wò lãwo dzii,
30 Ngoba okulutshwana owawulakho mandulo kwami, kwanda kakhulu kwaba yinkithinkithi; iNkosi ikubusisile ekufikeni kwami; pho-ke, ngizayisebenzela nini lami indlu yami?
elabena nu sue aɖe koe nɔ asiwò hafi meva gbɔwò. Fifia wò kesinɔnuwo dzi ɖe edzi ŋutɔ. Yehowa yra wò to nu sia nu si mewɔ la me! Ke ɣe ka ɣi nye ya manɔ ɖokuinye si awɔ dɔ na srɔ̃nyewo kple vinyewo?”
31 Wasesithi: Ngizakuphani? UJakobe wasesithi: Kawuyikunginika lutho, uba uzangenzela le into; ngizabuya ngeluse izimvu zakho ngizilinde.
Laban gabiae be, “Nu ka mana wò?” Yakob ɖo eŋu nɛ be, “Mègana nanekem o. Ke ne àwɔ nu ɖeka sia nam la, mayi wò lãwo dzi kpɔkpɔ dzi.
32 Ngizadabula phakathi komhlambi wonke wakho lamuhla, ngehlukanise lapho yonke imvu elamabala lelamachatha, layo yonke imvu ensundu phakathi kwezimvu, lezilamabala lezilamachatha ezimbuzini, zibe liholo lami.
Na matsa le wò lãhawo katã me egbe, eye maɖe alẽ siwo katã le ŋɔtaŋɔta la kple alẽvi ɖe sia ɖe si le yibɔ kple gbɔ̃ siwo le ŋɔtaŋɔta la. Woawoe anye nye fetu.
33 Njalo ukulunga kwami kuzangifakazela ngosuku oluzayo, uba usiza mayelana leholo lami, phambi kwakho; konke okungelamabala lamachatha ezimbuzini, lokunsundu emawundlwini, kuyabe kuntshontshiwe uba kukimi.
Ekema ɣe sia ɣi si nàkpɔ gbɔ̃ ɣi alo alẽ ɣi aɖe le tɔnyewo dome la, nànya be ɖe mefi wo tso tɔwòwo dome!”
34 ULabani wasesithi: Khangela, ye, kakube njengelizwi lakho.
Laban lɔ̃ ɖe edzi be, “Enyo; míawɔe abe ale si nègblɔe ene!”
35 Wasezehlukanisa mhlalokho impongo ezingamaqamule lezilamabala lazo zonke izibhuzikazi ezilamabala lezilamachatha, lakho konke okulokumhlophe, lakho konke okunsundu emawundlwini, wakunikela esandleni samadodana akhe.
Gbe ma gbe ke la, eɖe gbɔ̃tsu siwo katã ŋu fli le alo le ŋɔtaŋɔta kple gbɔ̃nɔ siwo katã ŋu fli le, esiwo katã le ɣie kple alẽvi siwo katã le yibɔ la ɖe aga, eye wòtsɔ wo de via ŋutsuwo ƒe dzikpɔkpɔ te.
36 Wabeka ummango wensuku ezintathu phakathi kwakhe loJakobe. UJakobe waseselusa imihlambi eseleyo kaLabani.
Ena eya ŋutɔ kple Yakob dome didi abe ŋkeke etɔ̃ ƒe azɔlizɔzɔ ene, eye Yakob yi Laban ƒe lãwo dzi kpɔkpɔ dzi.
37 UJakobe wasezithathela ingatsha ezimanzi zephophula leze-alimondi lezingelamaxolo, webula kuzo imizila emhlophe, wembula okumhlophe okwakusezingatsheni.
Yakob lã atilɔ fɛ̃ aɖewo, kpa tsro le akpa aɖewo ŋu, ale be wozu ŋɔtaŋɔta, eye fli to ɖewo me.
38 Wasefaka ingatsha ayezebulile emigelweni lemikolweni yokunathela yamanzi maqondana lemihlambi, lapho imihlambi efika khona ukunatha; yamitha ekufikeni kwayo ukuzanatha.
Etsɔ wo da ɖe lãwo ƒe tsinoƒe, ale be lãwo nakpɔ wo ne wova tsinoƒe, afi si lãtsuwo yɔa asi lãnɔwo le la.
39 Kwathi imihlambi isimithi ezingatsheni, imihlambi yazala amaqamule, alamabala lalamachatha.
Lãtsuawo yɔa asi le atilɔawo gbɔ, eye lãnɔawo dzia vi siwo le ŋɔtaŋɔta alo esiwo ŋu fli le la.
40 UJakobe wasesehlukanisa amawundlu; wakhangelisa ubuso bomhlambi kwezingamaqamule lazo zonke ezinsundu zomhlambi kaLabani; wabeka imihlambi yakhe yodwa, engayibeki emhlanjini kaLabani.
Eye Yakob ɖe lãviawo ɖa le tsitsiawo ŋu, ke ena bubuawo dze ŋgɔ lã siwo le ŋɔtaŋɔta kple esiwo le yibɔɔ henye Laban tɔ. Ewɔ lãha aɖe na eɖokui, eye mena wotɔtɔ kple Laban ƒe lãwo o.
41 Kwasekusithi loba nini eziqinileyo zomhlambi sezimitha, uJakobe wafaka izingatsha phambi kwamehlo omhlambi emigelweni, ukuze zidabule phakathi kwezingatsha.
Kpe ɖe esia ŋu la, ne ekpɔ be lã sesẽwo le asi yɔm la, etsɔa atilɔ siwo wòŋlɔ la dana ɖe tsinoƒea be woafɔ fu ɖe ati ŋɔŋlɔawo ŋu.
42 Kodwa nxa umhlambi ububuthakathaka kazifakanga; ngalokhu ebuthakathaka yaba ngekaLabani, leqinileyo ngekaJakobe.
Ke ne lã beliwo le asi yɔm la, eɖea ati ŋɔŋlɔawo ɖa. Ale alẽ siwo ƒe lãme mesẽ tututu o la zua Laban tɔ, eye esiwo le lãmesẽ me la zua Yakob tɔ!
43 Lendoda yaqhamuka yaba nkulu kakhulu, yaba lemihlambi eminengi lezincekukazi lezinceku lamakamela labobabhemi.
Esia ta Yakob ƒe alẽwo dzi ɖe edzi kabakaba, eye wòzu hotsuitɔ gã aɖe. Subɔlawo, kposɔwo kple tedziwo sɔ gbɔ ɖe esi fũu.
