Senesi 30
1 Pea ʻi he mamata ʻa Lesieli ʻoku ʻikai haʻa ne fānau kia Sēkope, naʻe meheka ia ki hono taʻokete: pea pehē ʻe ia kia Sēkope, “Tuku mai ha fānau kiate au, telia naʻaku mate.”
URasheli wathi ebona ukuthi wayengazaleli uJakhobe abantwana, wasekhwelezela udadewabo. Wasesithi kuJakhobe, “Ngipha abantwana, kumbe ngife!”
2 Pea tupu ai ʻae loto ʻo Sēkope kia Lesieli: pea pehē ʻe ia, “He ko e ʻOtua au, ʻaia kuo ne taʻofi meiate koe ʻae fua ʻoe manāva?”
UJakhobe wamzondela wathi, “Sengisesikhundleni sikaNkulunkulu yini mina, onguye okuvale ukuthi ungazali?”
3 Ka naʻe pehēange ʻe ia, “Vakai ki heʻeku kaunanga ko Pila, ke ke ʻalu kiate ia: pea te ne fānau ʻi hoku ongo tui koeʻuhi ke u maʻu ha fānau ʻiate ia.
Yena wasesithi, “Nangu uBhiliha incekukazi yami. Lala laye ukuze angizalele abantwana, ukuze kuthi ngaye ngibe lemuli.”
4 Pea ne foaki kiate ia ʻene kaunanga ko Pila ko hono uaifi, pea ʻalu ʻa Sēkope kiate ia.
Ngakho wasemupha incekukazi yakhe uBhiliha njengomfazi. UJakhobe wembatha laye,
5 Pea naʻe tuituʻia ʻa Pila, pea fānau kia Sēkope ʻae tama.”
wazithwala wamzalela indodana.
6 Pea pehē ʻe Lesieli, “Kuo fakamaau au ʻe he ʻOtua, mo ne fanongo ki hoku leʻo, pea kuo ne foaki kiate au ʻae tama ko ia naʻa ne ui ai hono hingoa ko Tani.”
Ngakho uRasheli wathi, “UNkulunkulu usengigezile; ulalele ukuncenga kwami wasenginika indodana.” Ngenxa yalokhu wayitha wathi nguDani.
7 Pea toe feitama ʻa Pila, ko e kaunanga ʻa Lesieli, pea ne fānau kia Sēkope ʻae tama ko hono tokoua.
Incekukazi kaRasheli, uBhiliha, yathatha isisu njalo yazalela uJakhobe indodana yesibili.
8 Pea pehē ʻe Lesieli, “ʻI he ʻahiʻahi lahi, naʻa ma ʻahiʻahi mo hoku taʻokete, pea kuo u lavaʻi: pea ne ui hono hingoa ko Nafitalai.”
URasheli wasesithi, “Kade kuyimpi phakathi kwami lodadewethu, mina senginqobile.” Wasemuthi nguNafithali.
9 Pea ʻi he mamata ʻa Lia kuo ngata ʻene fānau, pea ʻave ʻe ia ʻene kaunanga ko Silipa, ʻo ne ʻatu ia kia Sēkope ko hono uaifi.
ULeya wathi ngokubona ukuthi kasazali wathatha incekukazi yakhe uZilipha wayipha uJakhobe njengomfazi.
10 Pea ko Silipa, ko e kaunanga ʻa Lia, naʻa ne fānau kia Sēkope ʻae tama.
Incekukazi kaLeya uZilipha yazalela uJakhobe indodana.
11 Pea pehē ʻe Lia, “ʻOku haʻu ʻae tokolahi: pea ne ui hono hingoa ko Kata.”
ULeya wasesithi, “Inhlanhla engakanani!” Wamutha ibizo wathi nguGadi.
12 Pea ko Silipa ko e kaunanga ʻa Lia, naʻa ne fānau kia Sēkope ʻae tama ʻe taha.
Incekukazi kaLeya uZilipha yazalela uJakhobe indodana yesibili.
13 Pea pehē ʻe Lia, “ʻOku monūʻia au, ʻe ui au ʻe he ngaahi ʻofefine ko e monūʻia pea ne ui hono hingoa ko ʻAseli.”
ULeya wathi, “Uthi ngiyathaba yini! Abafazi bazakuthi ngiyathaba.” Yikho wambiza ngokuthi ngu-Asheri.
14 Pea naʻe ʻalu ʻa Lupeni ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho ʻoe ututaʻu uite, pea ne ʻilo ʻae ngaahi tutai ʻi he ngoue, pea ne ʻomi ia ki heʻene faʻē ko Lia. Pea pehē ʻe Lesieli kia Lia, “ʻOku ou kole ke ke tuku mai foki, mei he ngaahi tutai ʻa hoʻo tama.”
Ngesikhathi sokuvuna ingqoloyi uRubheni waya emasimini wafumana izihlahlakazana zamamandraki waziletha kunina uLeya. URasheli wathi kuLeya, “Ngicela ezinye zezihlahlakazana zendodana yakho.”
15 Pea talaange ʻe ia kiate ia, “He ko e meʻa siʻi ia, hao faʻao hoku husepāniti? Pea te ke toʻo mo e ngaahi tutai ʻa ʻeku tama foki?” Pea pehē ʻe Lesieli, “E mohe ia mo koe he poōni, koeʻuhi ko e tutai ʻa hoʻo tama.”
Kodwa wathi kuye, “Kakukwanelisanga na ukuthi wangemuka indoda? Usufuna ukuthatha lamamandraki endodana yami njalo?” URasheli wathi, “Kulungile, angazalala ngakwakho lamuhla ukuze ngizuze amamandraki endodana yakho.”
16 Pea haʻu ʻa Sēkope mei he ngoue ʻi he efiafi, pea ʻalu ʻa Lia ke fakafetaulaki kiate ia, ʻo ne pehē, “Ke ke haʻu kiate au; he ko e moʻoni kuo u fakatau koe ʻaki ʻae ngaahi tutai ʻa ʻeku tama.” Pea ne na mohe ʻi he pō ko ia.
Ngakho kwathi uJakhobe efika evela emasimini ngaleyontambama, uLeya wamhlangabeza wathi, “Kumele ulale ngakwami lamuhla. Ngikuqhatshile ngamamandraki endodana yami.” Ngakho wembatha laye ngalobobusuku.
17 Pea naʻe ʻafio ʻae ʻOtua kia Lia, pea feitama ia, pea ne fāʻeleʻi kia Sēkope ʻae tama ʻe taha, ko hono toko nima ia.
UNkulunkulu wamlalela uLeya, wathatha isisu wazalela uJakhobe indodana yesihlanu.
18 Pea pehē ʻe Lia, “Kuo tuku mai ʻe he ʻOtua ʻae totongi, koeʻuhi ʻi heʻeku foaki ʻeku kaunanga ki hoku husepāniti: pea ne ui hono hingoa ko ʻIsaka.”
ULeya wathi, “UNkulunkulu usengiphe umvuzo ngenxa yokuthi nganika indoda yami incekukazi yami.” Ngakho wamutha wathi ngu-Isakhari.
19 Pea toe feitama ʻa Lia, pea fānau kia Sēkope ʻae tama ko hono toko ono ia.
ULeya waphinda wasithatha njalo isisu wazalela uJakhobe indodana yesithupha.
20 Pea pehē ʻe Lia, “Kuo ʻomi ʻe he ʻOtua kiate au ʻae koloa lelei; ko eni ʻe toki fie nofo hoku husepāniti kiate au, koeʻuhi kuo u fanauʻi kiate ia, ʻae tama ʻe toko ono: pea ne ui hono hingoa ko Sepuloni.”
Ngakho uLeya wathi, “UNkulunkulu usengiphe isipho esiligugu. Khathesi umkami usezangiphatha ngenhlonipho, ngoba sengimzalele amadodana ayisithupha.” Wasemutha wathi nguZebhuluni.
21 Pea ne toki fānau kiate ia ʻae taʻahine, pea ne ui hono hingoa ko Taina.
Emva kwesikhathi esithile wazala intombazana wayithi nguDina.
22 Pea naʻe manatuʻi ʻe he ʻOtua ʻa Lesieli, ʻo ne tokanga kiate ia, pea ne ngaohi ia ke ne faʻa fānau.
UNkulunkulu wamkhumbula uRasheli; wezwa ukukhala kwakhe wavula isibeletho sakhe.
23 Pea feitama ia, pea fanauʻi ʻae tama; pea pehē ʻe ia, “Kuo toʻo ʻo ʻave ʻe he ʻOtua ʻa hoku manukia:”
Wathatha isisu wazala indodana, wathi, “UNkulunkulu uselisusile ihlazo lami.”
24 Pea naʻa ne ui hono hingoa ko Siosefa: ʻo ne pehē, “E ʻomi kiate au ʻe Sihova ʻae tama ʻe taha.”
Wamutha wathi nguJosefa, wathi, “Sengathi uThixo angangipha enye indodana.”
25 Pea kuo fāʻeleʻi ʻe Lesieli ʻa Siosefa, pea lea ʻa Sēkope kia Lepani, ʻo pehē, “Tuku au ke u ʻalu, koeʻuhi ke u ʻalu ki hoku potu, mo hoku fonua.
URasheli esezele uJosefa uJakhobe wathi kuLabhani, “Ngivumela ukuthi ngibuyele elizweni lakithi.
26 Tuku mai hoku ngaahi uaifi, mo ʻeku fānau, ʻakinautolu naʻaku ngāue ai kiate koe, pea ke tuku ke u ʻalu: he ʻoku ke ʻilo ʻae ngāue kuo u fai kiate koe.”
Ngipha omkami labantwana engibasebenzeleyo kuwe, ngihle ngihambe. Uyawazi umsebenzi engiwusebenzileyo kuwe lapha.”
27 Pea kole ʻa Lepani, ʻo ne pehē kiate ia: “Kapau kuo u ʻofeina ʻi ho ʻao, ke ke nofo pe; he kuo u ʻilo pau kuo tāpuakiʻi au ʻe Sihova, koeʻuhi ko koe.”
Kodwa uLabhani wathi kuye, “Nxa ungithanda, hlala. Sengibonile ngokwambulelwa ukuthi uThixo ungibusisile ngenxa yakho.”
28 Pea pehē ʻe ia, “Tala mai hao totongi, pea te u ʻatu ia.”
Wengeza ngokuthi, “Qamba loba yiphi inhlawulo oyifunayo, ngizakupha.”
29 Pea pehēange ʻe ia kiate ia, “ʻOku ke ʻilo pe naʻe fēfē ʻeku ngāue kiate koe, pea mo e ʻiate au ʻa hoʻo fanga manu.”
UJakhobe wathi kuye, “Uyakwazi ukuthi ngikusebenzele njani lokuthi izifuyo zakho zigcinakale njani ziphethwe yimi.
30 He naʻa ke maʻu siʻi pe, ʻi he heʻeki ai te u haʻu au; pea ko eni kuo tupu ia ʻo lahi ʻaupito; pea kuo tāpuaki koe ʻe Sihova talu ʻeku haʻu: pea ko eni, te u tokonaki afe, ki hoku fale foki ʻoʻoku?”
Okuncinyane owawulakho ngingakafiki sekusele kwanda kakhulu, njalo uThixo ukubusisile langabe kungaphi lapho engike ngaba khona. Kodwa manje ngizaze ngiwenzele nini mina umuzi wami ulutho?”
31 Pea pehē ʻe ia, “Ko e hā te u foaki kiate koe?” Pea pehē ʻe Sēkope, “E ʻikai te ke foaki mai ha meʻa ʻe taha: ka ko eni kapau te ke fai ʻae meʻa ni kiate au, te u toe fafanga mo tauhi hoʻo fanga manu:
Wabuza wathi, “Ngikupheni na?” Waphendula uJakhobe wathi, “Ungangiphi lutho. Kodwa ake ungenzele lokhu kodwa, ukuze ngiqhubeke ngisondla imihlambi yakho:
32 Te u ʻalu ki hoʻo fanga manu he ʻaho ni, ʻo vaheʻi mei ai ʻae ilaila mo e pulepule, pea mo e fanga manu kelo mei he fanga sipi, pea mo e ilaila mo e pulepule mei he fanga kosi: pea ʻe ʻi he fanga manu pehē ʻa ʻeku totongi.
Wothi ngingene emihlambini yakho lamuhla ngikhuphe kuyo zonke izimvu ezilamachatha kumbe amabala, lamazinyane wonke amnyama lembuzi zonke ezilamabala kumbe amachatha. Yizo ezizakuba yinhlawulo yami.
33 Pea ʻe hā ai ʻa ʻeku angatonu ʻamui, ʻoka hoko ia ko ʻeku totongi ʻi ho ʻao; ko ia kotoa pē ʻe ʻiate au ʻoku ʻikai ilaila mo pulepule ʻi he fanga kosi, mo ia ʻoku ʻikai kelo ʻi he fanga sipi, ʻe lau ia ko ʻeku kaihaʻa.”
Ngesikhathi esizayo ubuqotho bami buzavela nxa uhlola inhlawulo onginike yona. Ingqe yiphi imbuzi engizabe ngilayo engelamachatha kumbe amabala, loba lizinyane lemvu elingamnyama lizakubalwa njengelebiweyo.”
34 Pea pehēange ʻe Lepani, “Ko hoku loto ke fai ʻo hangē ko hoʻo lea.”
ULabhani wathi, “Kulungile, kakube njengokutsho kwakho.”
35 Pea ne vaheʻi ʻi he ʻaho ko ia ʻae fanga kosi tangata naʻe ilaila mo pulepule, pea mo e kosi fefine naʻe lavatea mo pulepule, pea ko ia kotoa pē naʻe hinehina hano potu, pea mo e kelo kotoa pē mei he fanga sipi, pea naʻa ne tuku ia ki he nima ʻo hono ngaahi foha.
Mhlalokho wazikhupha zonke impongo ezazingamaqamule kumbe ezilamabala, njalo lezinsikazi ezilamachatha kumbe ezilamabala (zonke ezazilokumhlophe kuzo) lamazinyane ezimvu wonke amnyama zonke wathi zikhangelwe ngamadodana akhe.
36 Pea naʻa ne fakamamaʻo mo Sēkope, ʻi he fononga mei ai ʻi he ʻaho ʻe tolu; pea tauhi ʻe Sēkope hono toe ʻoe fanga manu ʻa Lepani.
Wasebeka umango wensuku ezintathu phakathi kwakhe loJakhobe, kodwa uJakhobe wayelokhu esondla yonke imihlambi eseleyo kaLabhani.
37 Pea naʻe toʻo mai ʻe Sēkope ʻae ngaahi vaʻa ʻakau hinehina mo mata, ko e ʻakau ko e futu pea mo e ifi; pea ne fohifohiʻi hono kili, koeʻuhi ke hā mai ʻae ngaahi potu hinehina ʻi he ʻakau.
Kwathi uJakhobe wagamula ingatsha zesihlahla sephopla, eze-alimondi lezepulane wahamba ezixoza amaxolo wenza imidwa kwavela kuzo isigodo esimhlophe.
38 Pea naʻa ne tuku ʻae ngaahi vaʻa ʻakau naʻa ne fohifohiʻi ʻi he tafeʻanga vai, mo e ngaahi tukuʻanga vai, ʻi he haʻu ʻae fanga manu ke inu, koeʻuhi ke nau tuituʻia ʻi heʻenau haʻu ke inu.
Ingatsha lezi ezixoziweyo wazibeka kuyo yonke imikolo yokunathela imihlambi ukuthi zime ziqondane lezifuyo nxa zinatha. Kwakusithi lezozifuyo ezidabuleyo zizonatha
39 Pea naʻe tuituʻia ʻae fanga manu ʻi he ʻao ʻoe ngaahi vaʻa ʻakau, pea fanauʻi ʻae ʻuhiki kuo lavatea mo pulepule, mo ilaila.
zifike zixakane phambi kwezingatsha. Zazizala amazinyane alamabala ayimidwa loba alamachatha kumbe amabala nje.
40 Pea vavahe ʻe Sēkope ʻae fanga lami, pea ne fakahanga ʻae mata ʻoe fanga manu ki he lavatea, pea mo e faʻahinga kelo kotoa pē ʻi he fanga manu ʻa Lepani; pea ne tuku kehe pe ʻene fanga manu ʻaʻana, mei he fanga manu ʻa Lepani.
UJakhobe wawakhetha wawabeka wodwa amazinyane, kodwa lezo ezinye waziyekela zadunga lezo ezingamaqamule lezimnyama ezazingezikaLabhani. Ngaleyondlela, wenza imihlambi ehlukeneyo eyakhe kaze ayihlanganisa lekaLabhani.
41 Pea naʻe pehē, ʻi he tuituʻia ʻae manu mālohi, naʻe tuku ʻe Sēkope ʻae ngaahi vaʻa ʻakau ʻi he ʻao ʻoe fanga manu ʻi he tafeʻanga vai, koeʻuhi ke nau tuituʻia ʻi he lotolotonga ʻoe ngaahi ʻakau.
Kwakusithi kungadabula ezinsikazi eziqinileyo, uJakhobe wayefaka imiqwayi emikolweni phambi kwezifuyo ukuze zixakane eduze kwayo,
42 Ka naʻe ʻikai te ne ai ʻae ʻakau ki he ʻao ʻoe fanga manu vaivai: ko ia naʻe ia Lepani ʻae vaivai, pea naʻe ia Sēkope ʻae mālohi.
kodwa nxa ezinsikazi zingezibuthakathaka wayengayifaki imiqwayi. Ngakho izifuyo ezibuthakathaka zaba ngezikaLabhani, eziqinileyo zabuya ngoJakhobe.
43 Pea naʻe tupu ke koloaʻia ʻaupito ʻae tangata, pea lahi ʻene fanga manu, mo e kau kaunanga, mo e kau tamaioʻeiki, mo e fanga kāmeli, mo e fanga ʻasi.
Ngale indlela indoda le yanotha kakhulu yaba lemihlambi emikhulu, lezincekukazi, lezinceku kanye lamakamela labobabhemi.
