UGenesisi 35
1 UNkulunkulu wasesithi kuJakobe: Sukuma, yenyukela eBhetheli, uhlale khona; umenzele lapho ilathi uNkulunkulu owabonakala kuwe mhla ubaleka ebusweni bukaEsawu umnewenu.
Basa naa ma, Lamatualain olaꞌ no Yakob nae, “Au ia, Lamatualain fo mana utudꞌu ao ngga neu nggo, leleꞌ mela hela aꞌa ma Esau. Ia naa, ho lali Betel muu leo. Losa naa, muririi mei tutunu-hohotuꞌ fee Au. Ma leo muu naa leo.”
2 UJakobe wasesithi kundlu yakhe lakubo bonke ababelaye: Susani onkulunkulu bezizwe abaphakathi kwenu, lizihlambulule, lintshintshe izembatho zenu.
Basa ma, Yakob olaꞌ no basa ume isi nara nae, “Ia naa, basa hita tae lao Betel teu. Maꞌahulu na, au mia sususaꞌ rala, Lamatualain tulu-fali au mia naa. Au ae uririi mei tutunu-hohotuꞌ sia naa. Dadꞌi ia naa, nggari hendi basa paton sosonggoꞌ ra leo. Tao mimemeu ao mara, ma nggati bua-baꞌu mara, te ata tae beꞌutee neu Lamatualain.”
3 Asisukume senyukele eBhetheli, ngimenzele khona uNkulunkulu ilathi owangiphendula ngosuku lokuhlupheka kwami, njalo waba lami endleleni engahamba kuyo.
4 Basebenika uJakobe bonke onkulunkulu bezizwe ababesesandleni sabo, lamacici ayesezindlebeni zabo; uJakobe wasekufihla ngaphansi kwesihlahla se-okhi eliseShekema.
Boe ma ara fee basa paton sosonggoꞌ ma basa aꞌandikiꞌ ra. De Yakob naꞌoi se sia hau huu ineꞌ esa raeꞌ, deka kambo Sikem.
5 Basebehamba; lokwesabeka kukaNkulunkulu kwakuphezu kwemizi eyayibazingelezele, njalo kabawaxotshanga amadodana kaJakobe.
Yakob atahori nara lao mia Sikem ma, Lamatualain fee nemetaus neu atahori ndule nusaꞌ naa ra, de ara nda rambarani tao deꞌulaka Yakob se sa.
6 UJakobe wasefika eLuzi, eselizweni leKhanani, eyiBhetheli, yena labantu bonke ababelaye.
Naa de, Yakob no atahori nara, losa Betel sia rae Kanaꞌan no masodꞌaꞌ. (Feꞌesaꞌan, Betel, naran Lus).
7 Wasesakha khona ilathi, wayibiza indawo ngokuthi iEli-Bhetheli, ngoba lapho uNkulunkulu wabonakala kuye ekubalekeleni ubuso bomnewabo.
Losa naa ma, Yakob lutu mbatu mei tutunu-hohotuꞌ. Ana babꞌae mamanaꞌ naa, El Betel, (sosoa na ‘Betel Lamatualain na’), huu maꞌahulu na Lamatualain natudꞌu Ao na neu e sia naa, leleꞌ ana nela mia aꞌa na.
8 Njalo uDebora umlizane kaRebeka wafa, wangcwatshwa ezansi kweBhetheli ngaphansi kwesihlahla se-okhi, ngakho wasitha ibizo laso iAloni-Bakuthi.
Deka no kambo Betel, hambu hau huu ineꞌ esa atahori rae Alon Bakut. Sosoa na ‘hau ngganggaet’. Ara babꞌae raꞌo naa, huu leleꞌ Ribka ina mana oꞌo na, naran Debora, mate, ara raꞌoi e sia hau huuꞌ naa raeꞌ.
9 UNkulunkulu wasebuya wabonakala kuJakobe evela ePadani-Arama, wambusisa.
Yakob baliꞌ mia Padan Aram ma, Lamatualain natudꞌu Ao na fai, ma fee ne papala-babꞌanggiꞌ.
10 UNkulunkulu wasesithi kuye: Ibizo lakho nguJakobe; ibizo lakho kalisayikuthiwa nguJakobe, kodwa uIsrayeli kuzakuba libizo lakho. Wabiza ibizo lakhe ngokuthi uIsrayeli.
Lamatualain olaꞌ nae, “Eniꞌ a mia ia nema, nara ma, nda Yakob sa ena. Te, Au fee nara feu ma, naeni, Israꞌel.
11 UNkulunkulu wasesithi kuye: NginguNkulunkulu uSomandla; zala wande; isizwe, yebo ibandla lezizwe kuzavela kuwe; lamakhosi azaphuma ekhalweni lwakho.
Au ia, Lamatualain mana Koasa. De bꞌonggi mumuhefu leo! Mete te, nusa-nusaꞌ ra rema mia tititi-nonosi mara. Ma ho bꞌonggi mane-maneꞌ ra.
12 Lelizwe engalinika uAbrahama loIsaka ngizalinika wena, lenzalweni yakho emva kwakho ngizayinika ilizwe.
Nusaꞌ fo Au fee neu baꞌi Abraham ma amam Isak, ia naa Au fee neu nggo mo tititi-nonosi mara.”
13 UNkulunkulu wasesenyuka esuka kuye endaweni lapho ayekhuluma laye khona.
Lamatualain olaꞌ basa ma, Yakob naririi rii fatuꞌ esa sia naa, dadꞌi nesenenedꞌaꞌ neu Lamatualain hehelu-fufuli na. Boe ma, ana mboꞌa oe anggor, no mina neu fatu a ata, de beꞌutee neu Lamatualain.
14 UJakobe wasemisa insika endaweni lapho ayekhuluma laye khona, insika yelitshe. Wathululela phezu kwayo umnikelo wokunathwayo, wathela phezu kwayo amagcobo.
15 UJakobe waseyitha ibizo lendawo, lapho uNkulunkulu ayekhulume laye khona, iBhetheli.
Ana babꞌae mamanaꞌ naa, Betel.
16 Basebehamba besuka eBhetheli; kwathi kusesengummango ukuya eEfrathi, uRasheli wabeletha, wayelobunzima ekubeletheni.
Basa naa ma, Yakob se lao hela Betel. Ara feꞌe raꞌadꞌooꞌ ro Efrata (nara feaꞌ na, Betlehem), te Rahel naeꞌ a bꞌonggi ena. Te ana bꞌonggi susa.
17 Kwasekusithi ekubeletheni kwakhe nzima, umbelethisi wathi kuye: Ungesabi, ngoba lalo uzakuba yindodana yakho.
Ana feꞌe naꞌananasaꞌ ma, mana naꞌabꞌobꞌonggiꞌ a nafadꞌe e nae, “Ina Rahel! Tao manggatetee rala ma, huu inaꞌ hambu ana touꞌ esa fai!”
18 Kwasekusithi umphefumulo wakhe usuphuma, ngoba esesifa, wayitha ibizo layo uBenoni; kodwa uyise wayibiza ngokuthi nguBhenjamini.
Rahel hahae na nae etu ma, ana babꞌae anaꞌ naa, Ben-Oni, (sosoa na ‘ana doidꞌosoꞌ’). Basa naa ma, ana mate boe. Te Yakob babꞌae anaꞌ naa, Benyamin, (sosoa na ‘ana lima onaꞌ’).
19 URasheli wasesifa, wangcwatshwa endleleni eya eEfrathi, eyiBhethelehema.
Basa ma, ara raꞌoi Rahel sia dalaꞌ mana nae nisiꞌ Efrata suu na (ia naa, Efrata naran Betlehem).
20 UJakobe wasemisa insika phezu kwengcwaba lakhe; le yinsika yengcwaba likaRasheli kuze kube lamuhla.
Boe ma Yakob naririi fatu rates esa sia naa. Rahel fatu rates na naa, feꞌe sia ia, losa faiꞌ ia.
21 UIsrayeli wasehamba, wamisa ithente lakhe ngaphambili komphotshongo weEderi.
Basa naa ma, Yakob lali-laliꞌ nakandooꞌ a. Lao esa, ana naririi lalaat deka ume kanaru ineꞌ sa, naran Eder.
22 Kwasekusithi uIsrayeli ehlala kulelolizwe, uRubeni waya walala loBiliha umfazi omncinyane kayise; uIsrayeli wasekuzwa. Amadodana kaJakobe-ke ayelitshumi lambili;
Ara feꞌe leo sia naa ma, Ruben sungguꞌ no ama na sao tias na, Bilha. Ma Yakob o bubꞌuluꞌ dalaꞌ naa boe. Yakob ana mone nara sanahulu rua. Naeni,
23 amadodana kaLeya: Izibulo likaJakobe, uRubeni, loSimeyoni loLevi loJuda loIsakari loZebuluni;
Lea ana nara, Ruben (fo Yakob ana ulu na), Simeon, Lewi, Yahuda, Isaskar, ma Sebulon.
24 amadodana kaRasheli: OJosefa loBhenjamini;

Ma Lea ate na Silpa ana nara, Gad, ma Aser. Ara bꞌonggi basa anaꞌ naa ra sia Padan Aram.
27 UJakobe wasefika kuIsaka uyise eMamre, eKiriyathi-Arba, eyiHebroni, lapho uAbrahama ahlala khona njengowezizwe, loIsaka.
Basa naa ma, Yakob neu seꞌu ama na Isak sia Mamre deka kambo Kiriat Arba (aleꞌ ia, naran Hebron). Maꞌahulu na, baꞌi Abraham o leo sia naa boe.
28 Lensuku zikaIsaka zaziyiminyaka elikhulu lamatshumi ayisificaminwembili.
Isak nasodꞌa losa too natun esa falu nulu ma, ana mate. De ana na Yakob no Esau raꞌoi e.
29 UIsaka wasehodoza, wafa, wabuthelwa ezizweni zakibo, emdala, enele ngensuku. Amadodana akhe uEsawu loJakobe asemngcwaba.
