1 Kwathi uRasheli esebonile ukuthi wayengamzaleli uJakobe, uRasheli waba lomona ngodadewabo, wathi kuJakobe: Nginika abantwana, kodwa nxa kungenjalo ngife.
Bere a Rahel huu sɛ ɔne Yakob nwo no, nʼani beree ne nuabea no. Enti ɔka kyerɛɛ Yakob se, “Sɛ wo ne me anwo mma a, mewu!”
2 Ngakho lwavutha ulaka lukaJakobe kuRasheli, wathi: Ngisesikhundleni sikaNkulunkulu okwenqabele isithelo sesizalo yini?
Yakob bo fuw Rahel ma ɔkae se, “Meyɛ Onyankopɔn? Ɔno na wasiw wo yafunu ano.”
3 Wasesithi: Khangela, incekukazi yami uBiliha, ngena kuye, ukuze azalele emadolweni ami, ukuze lami ngakhiwe kuye.
Na Rahel ka kyerɛɛ Yakob se, “Mʼafenaa Bilha ni, wo ne no nkɔda, na ɔnwo mma me, na ɛnam ne so ama me nso manya abusua.”
4 Wasemnika uBiliha incekukazi yakhe abe ngumkakhe; uJakobe wasengena kuye.
Enti Rahel de nʼabaawa Bilha maa Yakob waree. Yakob ne no dae.
5 UBiliha wasethatha isisu, wamzalela uJakobe indodana.
Onyinsɛn woo ɔbabarima maa Yakob.
6 URasheli wasesithi: UNkulunkulu ungahlulele, njalo uzwile ilizwi lami, wanginika indodana. Ngakho wayitha ibizo layo uDani.
Na Rahel kae se, “Onyankopɔn adi mʼasɛm ama me. Wate mʼadesrɛ ama me ɔbabarima.” Ne saa nti, ɔtoo no din Dan a ne nkyerɛase ne, “Onyankopɔn adi mʼasɛm ama me.”
7 UBiliha incekukazi kaRasheli wasebuya ethatha isisu, wamzalela uJakobe indodana yesibili.
Rahel afenaa Bilha nyinsɛnee bio, woo ɔbabarima a ɔto so abien maa Yakob.
8 URasheli wasesithi: Ngibindene lokubindana okulamandla lodadewethu, njalo ngehlula; ngakho wayitha ibizo layo uNafithali.
Na Rahel kae se, “Me ne me nua Lea adi yɛn ho aperepere na madi nkonim.” Ɛno nti, ɔtoo abofra no din Naftali a ne nkyerɛase ne, “Mʼakodi.”
9 Kwathi uLeya esebonile ukuthi usemi ukuzala, wathatha uZilipa incekukazi yakhe, wamnika uJakobe abe ngumkakhe.
Bere a Lea huu sɛ nʼawo atew kɔ no, ɔno nso de nʼafenaa Silpa maa Yakob waree.
10 UZilipa incekukazi kaLeya wasemzalela uJakobe indodana.
Lea afenaa Silpa woo ɔbabarima maa Yakob.
11 ULeya wasesithi: Kuyeza inhlanhla. Wayitha ibizo layo uGadi.
Na Lea kae se, “Akraye bɛn ni!” Enti ɔtoo abofra no din Gad a ne nkyerɛase ne, “Asi me yiye.”
12 UZilipa incekukazi kaLeya wasemzalela uJakobe indodana yesibili.
Lea afenaa Silpa woo ɔbabarima a ɔto so abien maa Yakob.
13 ULeya wasesithi: Kungokwentokozo yami, ngoba amadodakazi azakuthi ngilentokozo. Wayitha ibizo layo uAsheri.
Na Lea kae se, “Mʼani agye! Afei de, mmea no bɛfrɛ me anigye.” Enti, ɔtoo no din Aser a ne nkyerɛase ne “Anigye.”
14 URubeni wasehamba ngensuku zokuvuna ingqoloyi, wafica amamandrake ensimini, wawaletha kuLeya unina. URasheli wasesithi kuLeya: Ake ungiphe emamandrakeni endodana yakho.
Awitwabere mu da bi, Ruben kɔɔ afum kohuu afifide bi a wɔfrɛ no dudaim. Ɔde bi brɛɛ ne na Lea. Rahel ka kyerɛɛ Lea se, “Mesrɛ wo, ma me wo ba no dudaim no bi.”
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.
Nanso Lea de abufuw buae se, “Woabegye me kunu akyi no, woresan abegye me ba dudaim a ɔde abrɛ me no bi apaa so?” Na Rahel de awerɛhow kae se, “Eye, ɛno de, Yakob mmɛda wo nkyɛn nnɛ anadwo yi, na ma me dudaim no bi.”
16 Kwathi uJakobe esebuya evela emasimini kusihlwa, uLeya waphuma ukumhlangabeza, wathi: Kimi uzangena, ngoba ukukuqhatsha ngikuqhatshile ngamamandrake endodana yami. Waselala laye ngalobobusuku.
Enti da no anwummere a Yakob fi afum reba no, Lea kohyiaa no, ka kyerɛɛ no se, “Ɛsɛ sɛ wobɛda me nkyɛn anadwo yi, efisɛ mede me ba dudaim atɔ wo.” Enti Yakob kɔdaa Lea nkyɛn anadwo no.
17 UNkulunkulu wasemuzwa uLeya; wasethatha isisu, wamzalela uJakobe indodana yesihlanu.
Onyankopɔn tiee Lea mpaebɔ, na onyinsɛn woo ɔbabarima a ɔto so anum maa Yakob.
18 ULeya wasesithi: UNkulunkulu unginikile umvuzo wami, ngoba ngayinika indoda yami incekukazi yami; waseyitha ibizo layo uIsakari.
Na Lea kae se, “Mede mʼafenaa Silpa maa me kunu Yakob no, Onyankopɔn adom me.” Enti wɔtoo abofra no din Isakar a nkyerɛase ne “Akyɛde.”
19 ULeya wasephinda ethatha isisu, wamzalela uJakobe indodana yesithupha.
Lea san nyinsɛnee bio, na ɔwoo ne babarima a ɔto so asia maa Yakob.
20 ULeya wasesithi: UNkulunkulu unginikile mina isipho esihle; khathesi indoda yami izahlala lami, ngoba ngiyizalele amadodana ayisithupha, waseyitha ibizo layo uZebuluni.
Enti Lea kae se, “Onyankopɔn ama me akyɛde a ɛsom bo yiye. Afei de, manya me kunu anim anuonyam. Ɔde obu ne nidi bɛma me, efisɛ mawo mmabarima baasia ama no. Enti ɔtoo abarimaa no din Sebulon a ne nkyerɛase ne Anuonyam.”
21 Emva kwalokhu wasezala indodakazi, wayitha ibizo layo uDina.
Akyiri no, Lea woo ɔbabea too no din Dina.
22 UNkulunkulu wasemkhumbula uRasheli, uNkulunkulu wasemuzwa, wavula isizalo sakhe.
Afei, Onyankopɔn kaee Rahel, tiee ne mpaebɔ, buee nʼawotwaa ano.
23 Wasethatha isisu, wazala indodana, wathi: UNkulunkulu ususile ihlazo lami.
Rahel nyinsɛn woo ɔbabarima, na ɔkae se, “Afei de, Onyankopɔn apepa mʼanimguase ama me nso mawo ɔba.”
24 Waseyitha ibizo layo uJosefa, esithi: INkosi kayengeze kimi enye indodana.
Rahel too ne ba no din Yosef a ne nkyerɛase ne “Awurade mfa ɔbabarima baako nka me ho.”
25 Kwasekusithi uRasheli esemzele uJosefa, uJakobe wathi kuLabani: Ngiyekela ngihambe ukuze ngiye endaweni yakithi, lelizweni lakithi.
Rahel woo Yosef no, ankyɛ na da koro bi, Yakob ka kyerɛɛ Laban se, “Mepɛ sɛ mesan kɔ mʼankasa mʼasase so ne me fi, enti mesrɛ wo, gya me kwan na menkɔ.
26 Ngipha omkami labantwana bami engibasebenzele kuwe ukuze ngihambe, ngoba wena uyazi umsebenzi wami engikusebenzele wona.
Fa me yerenom ne me mma a wɔn nti mebɛsom wo no ka ho. Wʼankasa ara wunim ɔsom pa a masom wo.”
27 ULabani wasesithi kuye: Uba-ke ngithole umusa emehlweni akho; sengibonile ngokukhangela ukuthi iNkosi ingibusisile ngenxa yakho.
Laban buae se, “Mesrɛ wo, nkɔ nnya me. Makɔ abisa ahu sɛ, nhyira dodow a manya yi nyinaa fi te a wote me nkyɛn yi.”
28 Wathi futhi: Ngimisela iholo lakho, njalo ngizakupha.
Laban ka kaa ho se, “Kyerɛ me akatua biara a wubegye, na metua.”
29 Wasesithi kuye: Wena yazi ukuthi ngikusebenzele njani lokuthi izifuyo zakho bezinjani lami.
Yakob buaa Laban se, “Wʼankasa wunim som a masom wo, ne sɛnea mahwɛ wʼanantwi ne wo nguan ama wɔn ase afɛe afa.
30 Ngoba okulutshwana owawulakho mandulo kwami, kwanda kakhulu kwaba yinkithinkithi; iNkosi ikubusisile ekufikeni kwami; pho-ke, ngizayisebenzela nini lami indlu yami?
Wʼahode kakra a na wowɔ bere a mebae no, nnɛ, adɔɔso abu so. Biribiara a meyɛ maa wo no nso, Awurade ahyira so. Na me nso, bere bɛn na metumi apɛ biribi de agyaw mʼabusuafo?”
31 Wasesithi: Ngizakuphani? UJakobe wasesithi: Kawuyikunginika lutho, uba uzangenzela le into; ngizabuya ngeluse izimvu zakho ngizilinde.
Laban bisaa Yakob se, “Akatua ahe na memfa mma wo?” Yakob nso buae se, “Mma me hwee, na mmom, sɛ wobɛyɛ mʼabisade baako pɛ yi ama me de a, mɛkɔ so ayɛn wo mmoa no.
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.
Nnɛ, ma menkɔhwehwɛ wo mmoa no nyinaa mu, na minnyi oguan biara a ne ho yɛ ntokontrama, oguan ba biara a ɔyɛ tuntum ne abirekyi biara a ɔyɛ ntokontrama. Eyinom na ɛbɛyɛ mʼakatua.
33 Njalo ukulunga kwami kuzangifakazela ngosuku oluzayo, uba usiza mayelana leholo lami, phambi kwakho; konke okungelamabala lamachatha ezimbuzini, lokunsundu emawundlwini, kuyabe kuntshontshiwe uba kukimi.
Eyi bɛma me nokwaredi adi me adanse, bere biara a wobɛhwehwɛ akatua a wode ama me no mu no. Sɛ wuhu abirekyi biara a ɔnyɛ ntokontrama anaa oguan biara a nʼahosu mmiri wɔ me mmoa no mu a, na ɛkyerɛ sɛ mawia wɔn afi wo de mu.”
34 ULabani wasesithi: Khangela, ye, kakube njengelizwi lakho.
Laban buaa Yakob se, “Eye, yɛ no sɛnea woaka no.”
35 Wasezehlukanisa mhlalokho impongo ezingamaqamule lezilamabala lazo zonke izibhuzikazi ezilamabala lezilamachatha, lakho konke okulokumhlophe, lakho konke okunsundu emawundlwini, wakunikela esandleni samadodana akhe.
Da no ara, Laban yiyii adwennini a wɔyɛ ntokontrama no nyinaa ne nguanbere a wɔyɛ ntokontrama no nso; mmoa no mu biara a fufu wɔ ne ho ne oguan ba biara a ɔyɛ tuntum no, ɔde wɔn kɔmaa ne mmabarima.
36 Wabeka ummango wensuku ezintathu phakathi kwakhe loJakobe. UJakobe waseselusa imihlambi eseleyo kaLabani.
Na Laban mma no faa mmoa no de wɔn twaa nnansa kwan, fii baabi a na Yakob wɔ hɔ. Saa bere no mu no, Yakob tenaa hɔ, hwɛɛ Laban nguan no.
37 UJakobe wasezithathela ingatsha ezimanzi zephophula leze-alimondi lezingelamaxolo, webula kuzo imizila emhlophe, wembula okumhlophe okwakusezingatsheni.
Na Yakob faa saa nnua yi: ɔsɛsɛ, odwen ne ɔfo mman amono, yiyii ho akamakam ma ɛkɔtoo dua kwatii no.
38 Wasefaka ingatsha ayezebulile emigelweni lemikolweni yokunathela yamanzi maqondana lemihlambi, lapho imihlambi efika khona ukunatha; yamitha ekufikeni kwayo ukuzanatha.
Afei, ɔde mman amono a wayiyi ho no nyinaa guguu mmoa no adidi nnaka mu, sɛnea ɛba sɛ, mmoa no ba sɛ wɔrebɛnom nsu no bi a, wobehu. Saa bere no na anini no foro abere no.
39 Kwathi imihlambi isimithi ezingatsheni, imihlambi yazala amaqamule, alamabala lalamachatha.
Enti sɛ mmoa no hyia mu wɔ dua mman ntokontrama no ho, na wonyinsɛn na wɔwowo a, wɔn mma no ho yɛ ntokontrama.
40 UJakobe wasesehlukanisa amawundlu; wakhangelisa ubuso bomhlambi kwezingamaqamule lazo zonke ezinsundu zomhlambi kaLabani; wabeka imihlambi yakhe yodwa, engayibeki emhlanjini kaLabani.
Ɔnam saa kwan yi so yii Laban nguankuw no mu abere no guu faako ma ɛkaa anini no. Na ɔmaa wɔne Yakob nguan a wɔyɛ tuntum no hyiaa mu. Saa ɔkwan yi so na ɔfa tew nʼankasa ne nguankuw fii Laban de ho.
41 Kwasekusithi loba nini eziqinileyo zomhlambi sezimitha, uJakobe wafaka izingatsha phambi kwamehlo omhlambi emigelweni, ukuze zidabule phakathi kwezingatsha.
Edu bere a nguanbere a wɔwɔ ahoɔden no pɛ sɛ wohyia adwennini no a, Yakob de mman a wayiyi ho akamakam no gu wɔn anim.
42 Kodwa nxa umhlambi ububuthakathaka kazifakanga; ngalokhu ebuthakathaka yaba ngekaLabani, leqinileyo ngekaJakobe.
Nanso wanyɛ nguan abere a wɔyɛ mmerɛw no saa. Enti nguantenmma a wonni ahoɔden no bɛyɛɛ Laban dea, na wɔn a wɔwɔ ahoɔden no nso bɛyɛɛ Yakob dea.
43 Lendoda yaqhamuka yaba nkulu kakhulu, yaba lemihlambi eminengi lezincekukazi lezinceku lamakamela labobabhemi.
Ɛnam eyi so maa Yakob nyaa ne ho tam. Onyaa mmoa, mfenaa, nkoa, yoma ne mfurum bebree.
