UGenesisi 33
1 UJakobe wasephakamisa amehlo akhe, wabona, khangela-ke, uEsawu esiza lamadoda angamakhulu amane kanye laye. Wasesehlukanisa abantwana phakathi kukaLeya loRasheli lencekukazi zombili.
Pea hanga hake ʻa Sēkope ʻo sio, pea vakai, naʻe haʻu ʻa ʻIsoa, mo e kau tangata ʻe toko fāngeau. Pea vaheʻi ʻe ia ʻae fānau, kia Lia, mo Lesieli, pea mo e ongo kaunanga.
2 Wasebeka izincekukazi labantwana bazo ngaphambili, loLeya labantwana bakhe ngemuva, loRasheli loJosefa ekucineni.
Pea ne fakamuʻomuʻa ʻae ongo kaunanga mo ʻena fānau, pea hoko ʻa Lia mo ʻene fānau, pea fakamuimui ʻa Lesieli mo Siosefa.
3 Yena uqobo wasesedlula phambi kwabo, wakhothamela emhlabathini kasikhombisa waze wafika eduze lomnewabo.
Pea ne muʻomuʻa ia ʻiate kinautolu, pea punou hifo ia ʻo tuʻo fitu ki he kelekele, ʻi heʻene ʻunuʻunu atu ki hono taʻokete.
4 UEsawu wasegijima ukumhlangabeza, wamgona, wawela entanyeni yakhe, wamanga; basebekhala inyembezi.
Ka naʻe lele ʻa ʻIsoa ke fakafetaulaki kiate ia, pea ne fāʻofua ia ki hono kia, pea uma kiate ia: pea naʻa na fetāngihi.
5 Wasephakamisa amehlo akhe wabona abesifazana labantwana, wathi: Ngobani laba olabo? Wasesithi: Abantwana uNkulunkulu ngomusa ayinike bona inceku yakho.
Pea hanga hake hono mata, ʻo ne sio ki he kau fefine mo e tamaiki: pea pehē ʻe ia, “Ko hai ʻakinautolu ni ʻoku ʻiate koe?” Pea pehēange ʻe ia, “Ko e fānau, kuo foaki ʻe he ʻOtua ʻaloʻofa ki hoʻo tamaioʻeiki.”
6 Zasezisondela incekukazi, zona labantwana bazo, bakhothama.
Pea naʻe toki ʻunuʻunu mai ʻo ofi, ʻae ongo kaunanga, ʻakinaua mo ʻena fānau, pea naʻa nau punou.
7 Laye uLeya wasesondela labantwana bakhe, bakhothama; emva kwalokho uJosefa wasondela loRasheli, bakhothama.
Pea haʻu ʻo ofi ʻa Lia foki mo ʻene fānau, pea punou ʻakinautolu: pea haʻu fakamui ʻa Siosefa mo Lesieli ʻo ofi, pea punou ʻakinaua.
8 Wasesithi: Uqondeni ngaleli iqembu lonke engihlangene lalo? Wasesithi: Ukuthola umusa emehlweni enkosi yami.
Pea pehē ʻe ia, “Ko e hā hono ʻuhinga ʻoe ngaahi fanga manu naʻa mau fehikitaki mo au?” Pea pehē ʻe ia, “Ko e meʻa ke ʻofeina ai au ʻi he ʻao ʻo hoku ʻeiki.”
9 UEsawu wasesithi: Ngilokunengi, mfowethu; okwakho kakube ngokwakho.
Pea pehē ʻe ʻIsoa, “Ko hoku tehina, kuo lahi ʻeku meʻa; ke ʻiate koe pe, ʻaia ʻoku ʻaʻau.”
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.
Pea pehēange ʻe Sēkope, “ʻOua, ko eni, ʻoku ou kole kiate koe, kapau ʻoku ou lelei ʻi ho ʻao, pea ke maʻu ʻeku meʻaʻofa mei hoku nima; he ko ia kuo u mamata ai ki ho mata, ʻo hangē ko e fofonga ʻoe ʻOtua, pea kuo ke lelei kiate au.
11 Ake wemukele isipho sami esilethwa kuwe; ngoba uNkulunkulu ungiphile ngomusa, njalo ngoba ngilakho konke. Wasemncenga, waze wasemukela.
ʻOku ou kole ke ke maʻu ʻeku tāpuaki, ʻaia kuo ʻomi kiate koe; koeʻuhi kuo fai lelei ʻe he ʻOtua kiate au, pea kuo u maʻu ʻo lahi.” Pea naʻa ne fakalotoʻi ia, pea ne toʻo ia.
12 Wasesithi: Asisuke sihambe, njalo ngizahamba phambi kwakho.
Pea pehē ʻe ia, “Ke tau fononga pea tau ō, pea te u muʻomuʻa ʻiate koe.”
13 Kodwa wathi kuye: Inkosi yami iyazi ukuthi abantwana babuthakathaka, lokuthi izimvu lezinkomo engilazo ziyenyisa; uba-ke beziqhuba ngamandla usuku olulodwa, umhlambi wonke uzakufa.
Pea pehēange ʻe ia kiate ia, “ʻOku ʻilo ʻe hoku ʻeiki ʻoku vaivai ʻae tamaiki, pea ʻoku ʻiate au ʻae fanga manu feitama: pea kapau ʻe fakateka mālohi ʻakinautolu ʻe he kau tangata, ʻi he ʻaho pe taha, ʻe mate ai kotoa pē.
14 Inkosi yami ake yedlule phambi kwenceku yayo; mina-ke ngizaqhubeka kuhle kuhle, ngokuhamba komsebenzi ophambi kwami, langokuhamba kwabantwana, ngize ngifike enkosini yami eSeyiri.
ʻOku ou kole kiate koe, ke muʻomuʻa ʻa hoku ʻeiki ʻi heʻene tamaioʻeiki; pea te u muimui atu ʻo fakatuotuai, ʻo fakatatau ki he faʻa fai ʻe he fanga manu, mo e tamaiki, ʻa ʻenau muʻomuʻa ʻiate au, ke ʻoua ke u hoko ki hoku ʻeiki ʻi Seia.”
15 UEsawu wasesithi: Ake ngibeke kuwe abanye babantu abalami. Wasesithi: Kungani lokhu? Kangithole umusa emehlweni enkosi yami.
Pea talaange ʻe ʻIsoa, “Tuku ke nofo kiate koe hā niʻihi ʻiate kinautolu ʻoku ʻiate au:” pea pehē ʻe ia, “Ko e hā hono ʻaonga?” Tuku ke u lelei ʻi he ʻao ʻo hoku ʻeiki.
16 UEsawu wasebuyela ngendlela yakhe ngalolosuku, waya eSeyiri.
Pea tafoki ʻa ʻIsoa ʻi he ʻaho ko ia ke ʻalu ki Seia.
17 Njalo uJakobe waqhubeka waya eSukothi, wazakhela indlu, wenzela izifuyo zakhe izibaya ezilophahla; ngakho wayitha ibizo lendawo iSukothi.
Pea fononga ʻa Sēkope ki Sukote, pea langa ai hono fale louʻakau ʻo ne ngaohi ai ʻae ngaahi fale louʻakau ki heʻene fanga manu: ko ia ʻoku ui ai ʻae potu ko ia ko Sukote.
18 UJakobe wasefika evikelekile emzini weShekema, oselizweni leKhanani, ekuveleni kwakhe ePadani-Arama; wamisa inkamba phambi komuzi.
Pea hoko lelei pe ʻa Sēkope ki he kolo ko Sikemi, ʻaia ʻoku ʻi he fonua ko Kēnani, ʻi heʻene haʻu mei Petanalami; pea naʻa ne fokotuʻu hono fale fehikitaki ʻo ofi ki he kolo.
19 Njalo ingxenye yesiqinti amisela kuyo amathente akhe wayithenga esandleni samadodana kaHamori uyise kaShekema, ngezinhlamvu zemali ezilikhulu.
Pea ne fakatau ʻae potu ngoue, ʻaia ne ne folahi ai hono fale fehikitaki, mei he nima ʻoe fānau ʻa Hemoa ko e tamai ʻa Sikemi, ʻaki ʻae paʻanga ʻe teau.
20 Wasemisa khona ilathi, walibiza ngokuthi yiEli-Elohe-Israyeli.
Pea naʻa ne fokotuʻu ʻi ai ʻae ʻesifeilaulau, ʻo ne ui ia ko ʻEle-ilohe-ʻIsileli.
