< UGenesisi 33 >

1 UJakobe wasephakamisa amehlo akhe, wabona, khangela-ke, uEsawu esiza lamadoda angamakhulu amane kanye laye. Wasesehlukanisa abantwana phakathi kukaLeya loRasheli lencekukazi zombili.
Faiꞌ naa, Yakob nita Esau nema no nononggoꞌ atahori natun haa. Ma ana babanggi ana nara fee se esa-esaꞌ risiꞌ ina nara.
2 Wasebeka izincekukazi labantwana bazo ngaphambili, loLeya labantwana bakhe ngemuva, loRasheli loJosefa ekucineni.
Ana fee sao tias nara ro ana nara lao risiꞌ mataꞌ. Basa de, Lea no ana nara, dei fo Rahel no anan Yusuf raꞌabui oe-oeꞌ.
3 Yena uqobo wasesedlula phambi kwabo, wakhothamela emhlabathini kasikhombisa waze wafika eduze lomnewabo.
Te Yakob lao naꞌahuluꞌ basa se. Ara rae deka ro aꞌa na ma, ana sendeꞌ lululangga na ma beꞌutee losa rae a, lao hitu.
4 UEsawu wasegijima ukumhlangabeza, wamgona, wawela entanyeni yakhe, wamanga; basebekhala inyembezi.
Esau nita odꞌi na ma, ana nelaꞌ neu nandaa no e. Ana holu ma idꞌu e, ma ruꞌa se nggae.
5 Wasephakamisa amehlo akhe wabona abesifazana labantwana, wathi: Ngobani laba olabo? Wasesithi: Abantwana uNkulunkulu ngomusa ayinike bona inceku yakho.
Esau nita inaꞌ naa ra ro ana nara, ma natane nae, “Basa atahori ia ra, seka?” Yakob nataa nae, “Naa ra, atahori fo Lamatualain fee au, aꞌa ate na.”
6 Zasezisondela incekukazi, zona labantwana bazo, bakhothama.
Basa naa ma, sao tias nara ro ana nara, rema raloe ao nara neu Esau.
7 Laye uLeya wasesondela labantwana bakhe, bakhothama; emva kwalokho uJosefa wasondela loRasheli, bakhothama.
Basa de, Lea no ana nara, rema raloe ao nara neu Esau. Mana maꞌabuiꞌ a, Yusuf no ina na Rahel rema raloe ao nara neu Esau.
8 Wasesithi: Uqondeni ngaleli iqembu lonke engihlangene lalo? Wasesithi: Ukuthola umusa emehlweni enkosi yami.
Boe ma Esau natane nae, “Banda nononggoꞌ fo ho haituaꞌ ra, masud na saa?” Yakob nataa nae, “Taꞌo ia, aꞌa! Au fee basa naa ra neu aꞌa, naa fo aꞌa simbo au no rala teme aoꞌ.”
9 UEsawu wasesithi: Ngilokunengi, mfowethu; okwakho kakube ngokwakho.
Te Esau nataa nae, “Odꞌiꞌ! Au suꞌi ngga o naeꞌ boe. De afiꞌ fee au saaꞌ boe.”
10 UJakobe wasesithi: Hayi bo! Uba khathesi ngithole umusa emehlweni akho, yemukela isipho sami esivela esandleni sami; ngoba yikho ngibone ubuso bakho kunjengokuthi ngibone ubuso bukaNkulunkulu, njalo wathokoza ngami.
Ma Yakob nataa nae, “Aꞌa afiꞌ taꞌo naa! Aꞌa musi simbo fo dadꞌi bukti aꞌa simbo au no lima ruaꞌ. Te, au ita aꞌa humek faꞌ ra ma, onaꞌ au ita Lamatualain humek.
11 Ake wemukele isipho sami esilethwa kuwe; ngoba uNkulunkulu ungiphile ngomusa, njalo ngoba ngilakho konke. Wasemncenga, waze wasemukela.
De au hule no hadat fo simbo au fefee ngga ia. Lamatualain malole na seli neu au, naa de Ana fee basa saa fo au parluꞌ ra.” Yakob kokoe nakandooꞌ a, de nau nda nau sa o, Esau simbo nala se.
12 Wasesithi: Asisuke sihambe, njalo ngizahamba phambi kwakho.
Basa naa ma, Esau olaꞌ nae, “Mete ma taꞌo naa, naa, miote fo ata lao leo! Dei fo au o nggi.”
13 Kodwa wathi kuye: Inkosi yami iyazi ukuthi abantwana babuthakathaka, lokuthi izimvu lezinkomo engilazo ziyenyisa; uba-ke beziqhuba ngamandla usuku olulodwa, umhlambi wonke uzakufa.
Te Yakob nataa nae, “Afiꞌ, aꞌa! Aꞌa mete neuꞌ ena. Anaꞌ ra feꞌe anadikiꞌ ri, de nda feꞌe laoꞌ beꞌi sa. Ma banda mana bꞌonggi feuꞌ ra o, naeꞌ. Mete ma hita taꞌasusuuꞌ se laoꞌ lai-lai, sia fai esa rala, naa, banda ra bisa mate basa se.
14 Inkosi yami ake yedlule phambi kwenceku yayo; mina-ke ngizaqhubeka kuhle kuhle, ngokuhamba komsebenzi ophambi kwami, langokuhamba kwabantwana, ngize ngifike enkosini yami eSeyiri.
De malole lenaꞌ aꞌa se lao miꞌihuluꞌ. Dei fo basa hai laoꞌ koe-koe miꞌibuit. Losa naa fo, au eti seꞌu aꞌa sia Seir.”
15 UEsawu wasesithi: Ake ngibeke kuwe abanye babantu abalami. Wasesithi: Kungani lokhu? Kangithole umusa emehlweni enkosi yami.
Boe ma, Esau olaꞌ fai nae, “Mete ma taꞌo naa, naa, au lao hela atahori nggara ruma ro nggo fo ratudꞌu hei dalaꞌ.” Te Yakob nae, “Afiꞌ tao ia-naa, aꞌa! Sadꞌi au bubꞌuluꞌ aꞌa simbo au ena, naa, au umuhoꞌo.”
16 UEsawu wasebuyela ngendlela yakhe ngalolosuku, waya eSeyiri.
Esau rena nala ma, ana lao hela se, de baliꞌ Seir neu.
17 Njalo uJakobe waqhubeka waya eSukothi, wazakhela indlu, wenzela izifuyo zakhe izibaya ezilophahla; ngakho wayitha ibizo lendawo iSukothi.
Te Yakob lao Sukot neu. Sia naa, ana tao ume, ma lalaet fee banda nara. Naa de, ara babꞌae mamanaꞌ naa Sukot (sosoan ‘ume neꞌetataaꞌ’).
18 UJakobe wasefika evikelekile emzini weShekema, oselizweni leKhanani, ekuveleni kwakhe ePadani-Arama; wamisa inkamba phambi komuzi.
Neu mateꞌe na ma, Yakob se losa no masodꞌaꞌ mia Padan Aram risiꞌ kambo Sikem sia nusa Kanaꞌan. Boe ma ara raririi lalaat, de leo deka kamboꞌ naa.
19 Njalo ingxenye yesiqinti amisela kuyo amathente akhe wayithenga esandleni samadodana kaHamori uyise kaShekema, ngezinhlamvu zemali ezilikhulu.
Rae fo Yakob naririi lalaat naa, ana hasa naꞌetuꞌ mia Hemor, Sikem aman. Ana bae no doi fulaꞌ natun esa.
20 Wasemisa khona ilathi, walibiza ngokuthi yiEli-Elohe-Israyeli.
Sia naa, ana lutu mbatu mei tutunu-hohotuꞌ. Ana babꞌae mamanaꞌ naa El-Elohe-Israꞌel. Sosoa na ‘Lamatualain naa, Israꞌel Lamatualain na’.
