1 Yaaqoobis akka ilmaan Laabaa, “Yaaqoob waan abbaan keenya qabu hunda fudhateera; qabeenya kana hundas waanuma kan abbaa keenyaa ture irraa argate” jedhan dhagaʼe.
UJakhobe wezwa ukuthi amadodana kaLabhani ayesithi, “UJakhobe usethethe konke ubaba ayelakho njalo usezuze yonke inotho ebingekababa.”
2 Yaaqoobis fuula Laabaa ilaale; kunoo fuulli isaa akka duraatti isatti hin tolle.
Njalo uJakhobe wananzelela ukuthi uLabhani wayengasamphathi njengakuqala.
3 Waaqayyos Yaaqoobiin, “Biyya abbaa keetii fi fira keetti deebiʼi; anis si wajjin nan taʼa” jedhe.
UThixo wasesithi kuJakhobe, “Buyela elizweni laboyihlo lasezihlotsheni zakho, mina ngizakuba lawe.”
4 Kanaafuu Yaaqoob akka isaan bakkeetti lafa bushaayeen isaa jiranitti gad baʼaniif gara Raahelii fi Liyaatti ergaa erge.
Ngakho uJakhobe wasethumela ilizwi kuRasheli loLeya ukuthi beze egangeni lapho imihlambi yakhe eyayikhona.
5 Innis akkana isaaniin jedhe; “Ani akka abbaan keessan akka kanaan duraa sana fuula natti hin tolle hubadheera; garuu Waaqni abbaa kootii na wajjin jira.
Wathi kubo, “Sengibona ukuthi uyihlo kasangiphathi njengakuqala, kodwa uNkulunkulu kababa ube lami.
6 Akka ani humna koo guutuudhaan abbaa keessaniif hojjedhe isinuu beektu;
Liyakwazi ukuthi ngamsebenzela uyihlo ngamandla ami wonke,
7 taʼus abbaan keessan mindaa koo yeroo kudhan geeddaruudhaan na gowwoomse. Waaqni garuu akka inni na miidhu hin eeyyamneef.
kodwa uyihlo ungidlelezele ngokuguqula umholo wami okwezikhathi ezilitshumi. Kodwa uNkulunkulu kamvumelanga ukuthi angilimaze.
8 Yeroo inni, ‘Bushaayeen cocorreen mindaa kee taʼu’ jedhetti, bushaayeen hundi ilmaan cocorree dhalan; yeroo inni, ‘warri halluu qaxxaamuroo qaban mindaa kee taʼu’ jedhetti immoo bushaayeen hundi ilmaan qaxxaamuroo qaban dhalan.
Kwakusithi angathi, ‘Ezilamabalabala ngezakho, ezomholo,’ imihlambi yonke izale ezimabalabala; kuthi angathi, ‘Ezingamaqamule zizakuba ngumholo wakho,’ yonke imihlambi izale amazinyane angamaqamule.
9 Waaqni karaa kanaan horii abbaa keessanii fuudhee naa kenne.
Ngaleyondlela uNkulunkulu usethethe imihlambi kayihlo wayipha mina.
10 “Anis gaaf tokko waqtii gaana bushaayeetti abjuu keessa ol ilaalee kunoo korbeeyyiin reʼootatti hobobsan akka halluu qaxxaamuroo qaban, cocorree fi buburree taʼan nan arge.
Ngesikhathi sokuxotshwa lokumitha kwemihlambi, ngaba lephupho lapho okwathi ngikhangela ngabona ukuthi impongo ezazixotsha umhlambi zazingamaqamule, kumbe zingamafahlafahla kumbe zilamabala.
11 Ergamaan Waaqayyoos abjuu keessa, ‘Yaaqoob’ naan jedhe. Ani, ‘Kunoo asan jira’ jedheen deebise.
Ingilosi kaNkulunkulu yathi kimi kulelophupho, ‘Jakhobe.’ Ngasabela ngathi, ‘Ngilapha.’
12 Inni immoo akkana naan jedhe; ‘Akka korbeeyyiin reʼootaa kanneen bushaayeetti hobobsan hundinuu halluu qaxxaamuroo qaban, cocorree fi buburree taʼan ol jedhii ilaali. Ani waan Laabaan sitti hojjete hunda argeeraatii.
Yathi, ‘Khangela ukuthi zonke impongo ezixotsha umhlambi ngezingamaqamule, ngezingamafahlafahla kumbe ngezilamabala, ngoba ngikubonile konke lokho uLabhani abekwenza kuwe.
13 Ani Waaqa Beetʼeel lafa ati itti utubaa dibdee wareega naaf wareegde sanaa ti. Amma kaʼiitii biyya kana keessaa baʼiitii gara biyya fira keetiitti deebiʼi.’”
NginguNkulunkulu waseBhetheli, lapho owagcoba khona insika njalo lapho owenza khona isifungo kimi. Suka kulelilizwe khona manje ubuyele elizweni lakini.’”
14 Kana irratti Raahelii fi Liyaan akkana jedhanii deebisan; “Qoodni yookaan dhaalli mana abbaa keenyaatti nuu hafe jiraa?
URasheli loLeya baphendula bathi, “Sivele siseselesabelo selifa likababa na?
15 Inni akkuma ormaatti nu ilaala mitii? Inni nu gurgurateeraatii maallaqa sababii keenyaaf kenname nyaatee fixeera.
Kasinjengabezizweni kuye na? Kakusikho kodwa ukuthi walobolisa ngathi, kodwa sowakusebenzisa konke esalotsholwa ngakho.
16 Qabeenyi Waaqni abbaa keenya irraa fuudhe hundi kan keenyaa fi kan ijoollee keenyaa ti. Egaa waan Waaqni sitti hime hunda godhi.”
Ngempela yonke inotho uNkulunkulu ayemuka ubaba ngeyethu labantwabethu. Ngakho yenza loba yini uNkulunkulu akutshele yona.”
17 Yaaqoobis ijoollee isaatii fi niitota isaa gaalawwan irra kaaʼate;
UJakhobe wasegadisa abantwabakhe labomkakhe emakameleni,
18 horii fi qabeenya kaaba dhiʼa Phaadaan Arraamiitti horatte hunda of dura oofee gara biyya Kanaʼaan abbaa isaa Yisihaaq bira dhaquuf kaʼe.
waziqhuba zonke izifuyo zakhe zahamba phambili, kanye lempahla zonke ayezizuzile ePhadani Aramu, esebuyela kuyise u-Isaka elizweni laseKhenani.
19 Laabaan hoolota isaa irraa rifeensa murmuruu dhaqe; Raahel immoo waaqota abbaa ishee hatte.
Kwathi uLabhani ehambile eyogunda izimvu zakhe, uRasheli weba izithombe zikayise.
20 Yaaqoobis akka isa dhiisee baqachuu yaade isa dhoksuudhaan Laabaan namicha Arraam sana gowwoomse.
Phezu kwalokho uJakhobe wakhohlisa uLabhani umʼAramu ngokungamtsheli ukuthi yena wayesebaleka.
21 Innis waan qabu hunda fudhatee baqate; laga Efraaxiis ceʼee biyya gaara Giliʼaaditti qajeele.
Ngakho wabaleka lakho konke okwakungokwakhe, wachapha umfula iYufrathe, waqonda elizweni lamaqaqa eleGiliyadi.
22 Akka Yaaqoob baqate guyyaa sadaffaatti Laabaatti himame.
Ngosuku lwesithathu uLabhani watshelwa ukuthi uJakhobe wayesebalekile.
23 Laabaanis firoota isaa fudhatee guyyaa torba Yaaqoob duukaa buʼee biyya gaara Giliʼaaditti isa qaqqabe.
Wathatha izihlobo zakhe bangena emzileni kaJakhobe okwensuku eziyisikhombisa baze bayambamba elizweni lamaqaqa eleGiliyadi.
24 Waaqnis halkan abjuudhaan gara Laabaan namicha biyya Arraam sanaa dhufee, “Ati waan gaariis taʼu hamaa tokko iyyuu Yaaqoobitti akka hin dubbanne of eeggadhu” isaan jedhe.
UNkulunkulu weza kuLabhani umʼAramu ephutsheni ebusuku wathi kuye, “Unanzelele ukuthi ungaze watsho lutho kuJakhobe, loba lungoluhle kumbe olubi.”
25 Yaaqoob yeroo Laabaan isa qaqqabetti, biyya gaaraa Giliʼaad keessa dunkaana isaa dhaabbatee ture; Laabaa fi firoonni isaas achi qubatan.
UJakhobe wayemise ithente lakhe elizweni lamaqaqa eGiliyadi eficwa khona nguLabhani, uLabhani laye lezihlobo zakhe bakha izihonqo khonapho.
26 Laabaanis Yaaqoobiin akkana jedhe; “Ati na gowwoomsitee intallan koo akka boojiʼamtoota waraanaatti fudhattee deemuun kee maal gochuu kee ti?
Ngakho uLabhani wasesithi kuJakhobe, “Wenzeni manje? Ungikhohlisile, njalo uthumbe amadodakazi ami njengabathunjiweyo empini.
27 Ati maaliif dhoksaan baqatte? Maaliifis na gowwoomsite? Akka ani gammachuu fi faarfannaadhaan, dibbee fi baganaadhaan si geggeessuuf maaliif natti himuu didde?
Kungani ubalekele ngasese wangikhohlisa na? Kungani ungangazisanga ukuze ngikuvalelise ngentokozo langokutshaya izigubhu lamachacho?
28 Ati akka ani ijoollee ijoollee kootiitii fi intallan koo dhungadhee nagaatti jedhu naaf hin eeyyamne. Ati hojii gowwummaa hojjete.
Kawuzange ume ukuthi ngange abazukulu bami lamadodakazi ami ngibavalelise. Wenze into eyibuthutha.
29 Ani isin miidhuuf humna qaba; garuu eda Waaqni abbaa keessanii, ‘Ati waan gaariis taʼu hamaa tokko illee Yaaqoobitti akka hin dubbanne of eeggadhu’ naan jedhe.
Ngilamandla okukulimaza; kodwa ngobusuku obudluleyo uNkulunkulu kayihlo uthe kimi, ‘Unanzelele ungaze watsho lutho kuJakhobe, loba ngoluhle kumbe ngolubi.’
30 Ati sababii mana abbaa keetiitti deebiʼuu akka malee hawwiteef deemteerta; garuu maaliif waaqota koo hatte?”
Manje ususukile ngoba ubulangazelela ukubuyela emzini kayihlo. Kodwa kungani webe izithombe zami na?”
31 Yaaqoobis akkana jedhee Laabaaf deebii kenne; “Ati intallan kee humnaan narraa fudhatta jedhee waanan sodaadheef nan deeme.
UJakhobe wamphendula uLabhani wathi, “Bengisesaba ukuthi uzangemuka amadodakazi akho ngamandla.
32 Namni ati waaqota kee isa biratti argattu jiraachuu hin qabu. Akka wanni kan kee taʼe na bira jiruu fi akka hin jirre atuu fuula firoota keenyaa duratti sakattaʼi; yoo jiraate immoo fudhadhu.” Yaaqoob Raahel waaqota sana hattuu ishee Yaaqoob hin beeku ture.
Kodwa nxa ufumana loba ngubani olezithombe zakho, kayikuphila. Ake ubone, lezihlobo zakho zikhona, ingabe kulolutho lwakho yini lapha kimi; nxa lukhona, luthathe.” UJakhobe wayengazi ukuthi uRasheli wayezebile izithombe.
33 Laabaanis dunkaana Yaaqoob, dunkaana Liyaatii fi dunkaana xomboreewwan lamaanii seenee homaa dhabe. Erga dunkaana Liyaatii baʼee booddees dunkaana Raahel seene.
Ngakho uLabhani wangena ethenteni likaJakhobe lethenteni likaLeya lethenteni lezincekukazi zombili, kodwa kafumananga lutho. Ephuma ethenteni likaLeya, wangena ethenteni likaRasheli.
34 Raahel immoo waaqota mana keessaa hatte sana kooraa gaalawwan ishee jala keessee irra taaʼaa turte. Laabaanis waan dunkaanicha keessa jiru hunda keessa barbaade; garuu homaa hin arganne.
URasheli wayethethe izithombe lezo, wazifihla phakathi kwesihlalo sekamela lakhe, wasehlala phezu kwazo. ULabhani wabhudula kukho konke okwakusethenteni, katholanga lutho.
35 Raahelis abbaa isheetiin, “Yaa gooftaa ko, sababii ani kaʼee fuula kee dura dhaabachuu dadhabeef hin aarin; ani xuriin of irraa qabaa” jette. Innis ni sakattaʼe malee waaqota sana hin arganne.
URasheli wathi kuyise, “Ungazondi nkosi yami ukuthi kungani ngingakusukumeli, kungenxa yokuba ngisesikhathini.” Ngakho wabhudula, kodwa akaze azifumana izithombe zangekhaya.
36 Yaaqoobis Laabaatti aaree isatti dheekkame. Innis akkana jedhee gaafate; “Yakki koo maali? Wanni ati akkana na adamsituuf ani cubbuu maalii hojjedheeti?
UJakhobe wazonda kubi wamthwalisa nzima uLabhani. Wambuza wathi, “Icala lami ngelani? Ngenze sono bani ukuze ungizingele kanje?
37 Ati miʼa koo hunda sakattaateerta; egaa miʼa mana keetii keessaa maal argatte? Yoo jiraate firoota keetii fi firoota koo duratti dhiʼeessiitii isaan nu lamaan gidduutti murtii haa kennan.
Njengoba usuziguduzile zonke impahla zami, kuyini osukufumene okungokomuzi wakho na? Kubeke khonapha phambi kwezihlobo zakho lezami batsho okuyikho phakathi kwethu sobabili.
38 “Ani waggoota digdaman kana si wajjin jiraadheera. Hoolonnii fi reʼoonni kee tokko iyyuu hin gatanne; ani bushaayee kee keessaas korbeeyyii hin nyaanne.
Sengibe lawe okweminyaka engamatshumi amabili. Izimvu zakho lembuzi zakho kazizange ziphunze, njalo kangizange ngizihlabele inqama emihlambini yakho.
39 Ani horii bineensi cabse gara keetti hin fidne; horii bades anatu kaffalaa ture. Waan guyyaas taʼu halkan hatame hundaaf ati na kaffalchiifatta turte.
Kangizange ngizokutshengisa izifuyo ezidatshulwe yizilo; yimi engathwala lokho kulahlekelwa ngazihlawula. Njalo wafuna inhlawulo yalezo ezazebiwe emini loba ebusuku.
40 Haalli ani keessa jiraadhe kana ture; guyyaa hoʼa, halkan immoo dhaamochatu na waxala ture; hirribnis ija koo irraa bade.
Impilo yami yayinje: ukutshisa kwakungibhaxabula emini, ebusuku umqando ungihaqaze, ubuthongo babaleka emehlweni ami.
41 Akkasiin ani waggoota digdamman kana mana kee ture. Ani waggaa kudha afur intallan kee lamaaniif jedhee, waggaa jaʼa immoo bushaayee keetiif jedhee siif hojjedheera; ati immoo yeroo kudhan mindaa koo geeddarte.
Kwakunjalo okweminyaka engamatshumi amabili ngisemzini wakho. Ngakusebenzela okweminyaka elitshumi lane ngisebenzela amadodakazi akho womabili njalo okweminyaka eyisithupha ngisebenzela imihlambi yakho, njalo wena waguqula inhlawulo yami okwezikhathi ezilitshumi.
42 Waaqni abbaa ko, Waaqni Abrahaam, Sodaan Yisihaaq utuu na wajjin jiraachuu baate ati silaa harka duwwaa na baasta turte. Waaqni garuu rakkina koo fi dadhabbii koo argee eda sitti dheekkame.”
Aluba uNkulunkulu kababa, uNkulunkulu ka-Abhrahama langokwesaba kuka-Isaka, ubengelami, ubuzangixotsha nje ngingaphathanga lutho. Kodwa uNkulunkulu ububonile ubunzima bami lokusebenza nzima kwezandla zami, yikho ekukhuzile izolo ebusuku.”
43 Laabaan akkana jedhee Yaaqoobiif deebise; “Dubartoonni kunneen intallan koo ti; ijoolleen kunneenis ijoolluma koo ti; bushaayeen kunneenis bushaayee koo ti. Wanni ati argitu hundi kanuma koo ti. Yoos ani waaʼee intallan koo kanneeniitii fi waaʼee ijoollee isaan daʼanii harʼa maal gochuun dandaʼa?
ULabhani wamphendula uJakhobe wathi, “Abesifazane ngamadodakazi ami, abantwana ngabantwabami, lemihlambi yimihlambi yami. Kodwa kuyini engingakwenza lamuhla ngala amadodakazi ami, kumbe ngabantwana ababazeleyo na?
44 Kottu mee anii fi ati amma walii kakannaa; kakuun kunis anaa fi si gidduutti ragaa haa taʼu.”
Zwana-ke, kasenze isivumelwano, wena lami, sibe ngufakazi phakathi kwethu.”
45 Yaaqoobis dhagaa tokko fuudhee akka utubaatti dhaabe.
Ngakho uJakhobe wasethatha ilitshe walimisa laba yinsika.
46 Innis firoota isaatiin, “Dhagaa walitti qabaa” jedhe. Isaanis dhagaa walitti qabanii tuulan; jarris tuullaa sana biratti nyaata nyaatan.
Wasesithi ezihlotsheni zakhe, “Buthelelani amatshe.” Bawathatha amatshe aba yinqwaba, basebedlela khonapho eceleni kwenqwaba.
47 Laabaan tuullaa sanaan “Yigaarsahaadutaa” jedhee moggaase; Yaaqoob immoo “Giliʼaad” jedheen.
ULabhani wayibiza ngokuthi yiJegari Sahadutha, uJakhobe yena wathi yiGaledi.
48 Laabaanis, “Tuullaan kun anaa fi si gidduutti ragaa dha” jedhe. Gaalaʼaad jedhamuun isaa kanumaaf.
ULabhani wathi, “Inqwaba le ingufakazi phakathi kwami lawe lamuhla.” Yikho yabizwa ngokuthi yiGaledi.
49 Akkasumas Miisphaa jedhame; Laabaan akkana jedhee tureetii; “Yeroo nu gargar baanutti Waaqayyo sii fi ana gidduutti eegduu haa taʼu.
Yabizwa njalo ngokuthi yiMizipha, ngoba wathi, “Sengathi uThixo angalinda phakathi kwakho lami nxa sikhatshana omunye komunye.
50 Yoo ati intallan koo rakkifte yookaan yoo ati intallan koo irratti niitota biraa fuute, yoo namni tokko iyyuu nu bira hin jirre kunoo Waaqni anaa fi siʼi gidduutti ragaa dha.”
Ungaze uphathe kubi amadodakazi ami, loba ungaze uthathe abanye abafazi ngaphandle kwamadodakazi ami, loba kungekho omunye umuntu olathi, khumbula ukuthi uNkulunkulu ungufakazi phakathi kwakho lami.”
51 Laabaan ammas Yaaqoobiin akkana jedhe; “Tuullaa kanaa fi utubaa ani sii fi ana gidduu dhaabe kana ilaali.
ULabhani wathi njalo kuJakhobe, “Nansi inqwaba le, njalo nansi insika engiyimise phakathi kwakho lami.
52 Akka ani si miidhuuf jedhee tuullaa kana darbee gara keetti hin ceene, akka atis na miidhuuf jettee tuullaa kanaa fi utubaa kana dabartee gara kootti hin ceene tuullaan kun ragaa dha; utubaan kunis ragaa dha.
Inqwaba le ingufakazi, kanye lensika le ingufakazi wokuthi kangisoze ngiyidlule inqwaba le ngize kwelakho icele ngizekonela lokuthi lawe kawuyikudlula kule inqwaba lensika uze kwelami icele uzengonela.
53 Waaqni Abrahaam, Waaqni Naahoor, Waaqni abbootii isaanii nu gidduutti murtii haa kennu.” Yaaqoobis akkasitti maqaa Sodaa abbaa isaa Yisihaaqiin kakate.
Sengathi uNkulunkulu ka-Abhrahama, loNkulunkulu kaNahori, uNkulunkulu kayise wabo angahlulela phakathi kwethu.” Ngakho uJakhobe wenza isifungo ebizweni likaMesatshwa kayise u-Isaka.
54 Innis biyya gaaraa sanatti aarsaa dhiʼeessee firoota isaa nyaatatti waame. Isaanis erga nyaatanii booddee achuma bulan.
Wenza umhlatshelo khonapho elizweni lamaqaqa wanxusa izihlobo zakhe ekudleni. Sebedlile, balala khonapho.
55 Laabaanis guyyaa itti aanu ganama bariidhaan kaʼee ijoollee ijoollee isaatii fi intallan isaa dhungatee isaan eebbise. Ergasiis achii kaʼee gara iddoo isaatti deebiʼe.
Ekuseni kakhulu ngosuku olulandelayo uLabhani wanga abazukulu bakhe lamadodakazi akhe wababusisa. Wasefulathela wabuyela ekhaya.
