1 Mose 27
1 Isak bɔɔ akwakoraa a nʼani so ayɛ no wusiwusi na onhu ade papa no, da koro bi, ɔfrɛɛ ne babarima panyin Esau. “Me ba.” Na Esau gyee so se, “Agya, mini.”
Kwathi u-Isaka eseluphele, amehlo akhe esethundubele okokuthi wayengasaboni, wabiza u-Esawu indodana yakhe endala wathi kuye, “Ndodana yami.” Waphendula wathi, “Ngilapha.”
2 Isak kae se, “Mprempren mabɔ akwakoraa, na minnim da a mewu.
U-Isaka wathi, “Manje sengilixhegu, njalo kangilazi ilanga lami lokufa.
3 Fa wʼagyan ne wo bɛmma, na kɔ wuram kɔhwehwɛ hanam bi brɛ me.
Thatha izikhali zakho, isikhwama semitshoko yakho ledandili lakho ungene iganga uyengizingelela inyamazana.
4 Fa noa mʼakɔnnɔduan no bi brɛ me, na minni, na minhyira wo ansa na mawu.”
Ungilungisele ukudla okumnandi engikuthandayo ukulethe kimi lapha ngidle, ukuze ngikuphe isibusiso sami ngingakafi.”
5 Bere a Isak ne ne ba Esau rekasa no, na Rebeka retie. Enti bere a Esau kɔɔ sɛ ɔrekokum nam no aba pɛ, na
URabheka wayelalele u-Isaka ekhuluma lendodana yakhe u-Esawu. Kwathi u-Esawu esephumile waya egangeni ukuyazingela inyamazana ukuze ayilethe,
6 Rebeka ka kyerɛɛ ne ba Yakob se, “Yakob tie! Metee sɛ wʼagya reka akyerɛ wo nua Esau se,
uRabheka wathi endodaneni yakhe uJakhobe, “Khangela, ngizwe uyihlo esithi kumnewenu u-Esawu
7 ‘Kɔhwehwɛ hanam bi fa noa mʼakɔnnɔduan no bi brɛ me, na minni, na minhyira wo wɔ Awurade anim, ansa na mawu.’
‘Ngilethela inyamazana ungilungisele ukudla okumnandi ngidle, ukuze ngikuphe isibusiso sami phambi kukaThixo ngingakafi.’
8 Afei, me ba, tie asɛm a merebɛka akyerɛ wo yi yiye, na di so.
Manje-ke lalela kuhle, ndodana yami, wenze lokho engikutshela khona:
9 Kɔ nguankuw no mu, na kɔkyere nguan abien a wɔadodɔ srade brɛ me, na memfa nnoa akɔnnɔduan, sɛnea wʼagya pɛ no pɛpɛɛpɛ mma no.
Yana emhlambini ulethe lapha kimi amazinyane embuzi amabili anonileyo, ukuze ngilungisele uyihlo ukudla okumnandi ngendlela akuthanda ngayo.
10 Sɛ menoa wie a, fa kɔma no, na onni, na onhyira wo ansa na wawu.”
Wena ubusukusa kuyihlo adle, abesekunika isibusiso sakhe engakafi.”
11 Yakob ka kyerɛɛ ne na Rebeka se, “Wunim sɛ me nua Esau ho wɔ nwi, na me nso, me ho yɛ trontrom.
UJakhobe wathi kuRabheka unina, “Kodwa umnewethu u-Esawu lihwanqa, mina ngilejwabu elitshelelayo.
12 Sɛ ɛba sɛ mʼagya de ne nsa fa me ho, na ohu sɛ ɛnyɛ Esau a, ɛbɛyɛ sɛ gyama meredaadaa no, na wadome me mmom, sen sɛ anka obehyira me.”
Pho ubaba angangibamba ke? Kuzabonakala ukuthi ngiyamqila ngibe sengizehlisele isiqalekiso phezu kwami esikhundleni sesibusiso.”
13 Yakob ne na ka kyerɛɛ no se, “Me ba, ma nnome no mmra me so. Wo de, yɛ nea maka akyerɛ wo no ara. Kɔ na kɔkyere nguan no brɛ me.”
Unina wathi kuye, “Ndodana yami, lesosiqalekiso kasehlele kimi. Wena yenza lokho engikutshela khona kuphela; hamba uyengithathela wona.”
14 Enti Yakob tiee ne na Rebeka asɛm, kɔkyeree nguan no brɛɛ no. Na okum wɔn, de noaa akɔnnɔduan bi, sɛnea Isak pɛ no pɛpɛɛpɛ.
Ngakho wahamba wayawathatha wawaletha kunina, yena walungisa ukudla okumnandi, ngaleyondlela eyayithandwa nguyise.
15 Ɛno akyi no, Rebeka faa ne ba panyin Esau atade papa bi a ɛwɔ fie hɔ de maa ne ba Yakob hyɛe.
URabheka wasethatha izigqoko ezithandekayo zika-Esawu indodana yakhe endala, ezazikhona endlini, wazigqokisa indodana yakhe encane, uJakhobe.
16 Afei, ɔde nguan a wokum wɔn no nhoma yɛɛ ahyɛnsa, kataa Yakob nsa ho. Ɔde bi kataa ne kɔn ho nyinaa.
Wabuya wamgoqela izandla zakhe lentamo lapho okwakubutshelezi khona ngesikhumba sembuzi.
17 Ɔde brodo a wato no foforo kaa akɔnnɔduan a wanoa no ho, de maa ne ba Yakob.
Waseqhubela indodana yakhe uJakhobe ukudla lokho okumnandi kanye lesinkwa ayesenzile.
18 Yakob de aduan no kɔmaa nʼagya Isak wɔ ne dan mu. Oduu hɔ no, ɔkae se, “Agya!” Isak buae se, “Mewɔ hɔ na ɛyɛ hena?”
Waya kuyise wafika wathi, “Baba.” Wasabela wathi, “Yebo, ndodana yami. Ngubani?”
19 Yakob ka kyerɛɛ nʼagya se, “Ɛyɛ me wʼabakan Esau. Mayɛ nea woka kyerɛɛ me sɛ menyɛ no. Mede hanam a wopɛ no bi anoa wʼakɔnnɔduan no abrɛ wo, enti mesrɛ wo, sɔre tena ase, na didi, na sɛ wudidi wie a, woahyira me.”
UJakhobe wathi kuyise, “Ngingu-Esawu izibulo lakho. Sengenzile njengokungilayela kwakho. Vuka uhlale udle inyama yami yenyamazana ukuze ungiphe isibusiso sakho.”
20 Isak bisaa ne ba no se, “Ɛyɛɛ dɛn na wo ho ayɛ hare sɛɛ yi?” Yakob buae se, “Awurade, wo Nyankopɔn no, na ogyinaa mʼakyi maa me nsa kaa hanam no bi ntɛm.”
U-Isaka wayibuza indodana yakhe wathi, “Uyizuze njani masinyane kangaka, ndodana yami?” Waphendula wathi, “uThixo uNkulunkulu wakho ungiphumelelisile.”
21 Afei, Isak ka kyerɛɛ Yakob se, “Me ba, twiw bɛn me, na memfa me nsa nka wo nhwɛ sɛ, wo ne me ba Esau no ampa ana.”
U-Isaka wasesithi kuJakhobe, “Sondela eduze ngikuthinte, ndodana yami, ukuze ngazi ngempela ukuthi uyiyo indodana yami u-Esawu noma hatshi.”
22 Yakob twiw bɛn nʼagya Isak, na ɔde ne nsa kekaa ne ho kae se, “Nne yi yɛ Yakob nne, nanso nsa yi yɛ Esau de.”
UJakhobe wasondela kuyise u-Isaka wamthinta wathi, “Ilizwi ngelikaJakhobe, kodwa izandla yizandla zika-Esawu.”
23 Isak anhu sɛ ɛyɛ Yakob, efisɛ na ne nsa ho wɔ nwi te sɛ ne nua Esau pɛpɛɛpɛ. Enti, ohyiraa no.
Kazange amazi ngoba izandla zakhe zaziloboya njengezikamnewabo u-Esawu; ngakho wambusisa.
24 Isak san bisaa Yakob se, “Enti ampa ara sɛ wo ne me ba Esau no?” Yakob buae se, “Yiw, me ne Esau.”
Wabuza wathi, “Kambe unguye na u-Esawu indodana yami?” Waphendula wathi, “Nginguye.”
25 Afei, Isak kae se, “Me ba, fa wʼaduan no brɛ me na minni, na midi wie a, mahyira wo.” Yakob de aduan no brɛɛ nʼagya Isak, na odii; ɔsan de nsa brɛɛ no maa ɔnomee.
Wasesithi, “Ndodana yami, ngipha inyama yakho yenyamazana ngidle, ukuze ngikuphe isibusiso sami.” UJakhobe wamupha wadla; waletha lewayini wanatha.
26 Isak wiee no, ɔka kyerɛɛ Yakob se, “Me ba, bra befew mʼano!”
Uyise u-Isaka wathi kuye, “Woza lapha, ndodana yami, ungange.”
27 Enti Yakob kɔɔ nʼagya Isak nkyɛn kofew nʼano. Bere a Isak huam Yakob atade mu, na ogye too mu sɛ, ɛyɛ ne ba Esau no, ohyiraa no se, “Ampa ara! Me ba ho hua te sɛ hua a efi afuw a Awurade ahyira so no mu.
Wasesiya kuye wamanga. Kwathi u-Isaka esewuzwile umnuko wezigqoko zakhe, wambusisa wathi, “Yeka, umnuko wendodana yami unjengomnuko wensimu uThixo ayibusisileyo.
28 Onyankopɔn mma wo ɔsoro bosu ne asase mu srade, na afum aduan ne nsa mmu wo so.
Sengathi uNkulunkulu angakupha amazolo asezulwini lokuvunda komhlabathi, inala yamabele lewayini elitsha.
29 Amanaman bɛsom wo, na nnipa nyinaa abu wo nkotodwe. Wubedi wo nuanom so, na wo na mma nso akotow wo. Wɔbɛdome wɔn a wɔdome wo nyinaa, na wɔn a wohyira wo nyinaa nso, wobehyira wɔn.”
Sengathi izizwe zingakukhonza labantu bakukhothamele. Ube yinkosi phezu kwabafowenu, njalo sengathi amadodana kanyoko angakukhothamela. Sengathi labo abakuqalekisayo labo baqalekiswe labakubusisayo babusiswe.”
30 Isak hyiraa Yakob wiei, na ofii nʼagya nkyɛn kɔe ara pɛ, na ne nua Esau fi nʼahayɛ bae.
U-Isaka eseqedile ukumbusisa njalo uJakhobe esathi uyasuka kuyise, umnewabo u-Esawu wabengena evela zingela.
31 Ɔno nso noaa akɔnnɔduan brɛɛ nʼagya. Na ɔka kyerɛɛ no se, “Agya, sɔre na di me hanam aduan no, na hyira me.”
Laye njalo walungisa ukudla okumnandi wakuletha kuyise. Wasesithi kuye, “Baba, vuka udle inyama yami yenyamazana, ukuze ungiphe isibusiso sakho.”
32 Nʼagya Isak bisaa no se, “Na hena ni?” Esau buae se, “Ɛyɛ me wʼabakan Esau.”
Uyise u-Isaka wambuza wathi, “Ungubani wena?” Waphendula wathi, “Ngiyindodana yakho, izibulo lakho u-Esawu.”
33 Isak tee saa asɛm yi pɛ, ne ho fii ase wosow biribiribiri, na obisae se, “Ɛno de, na hena na ɔkɔɔ ahayɛ kokum nam de noaa aduan brɛɛ me yi. Mididi wie hyiraa onipa ko no pɛ na wobaa yi. Nokware ni, nhyira a mahyira no no, sɛ mesan mʼano a, ɛrenyɛ yiye!”
U-Isaka wathuthumela kakhulu wathi, “Kanti ubengubani ozingele inyamazana wayiletha kimi? Ngiyidlile khathesi nje usuzafika, ngambusisa njalo ngempela uzakubusiswa!”
34 Bere a Esau tee asɛm a nʼagya kae no, ɔno nso de awerɛhow teɛɛ mu denneennen, ka kyerɛɛ nʼagya se, “Agya! Hyira me. Hyira me nso bi!”
Kwathi u-Esawu ewezwa amazwi kayise, wakhala kakhulu okuzwisa ubuhlungu wathi kuyise, “Ngibusisa lami njalo, baba!”
35 Nanso Isak kae se, “Ɛno de, na wo nua na ɔde nnaadaa abegye wo nhyira kɔ!”
Kodwa wathi, “Umfowenu uze ngobuqili wathatha isibusiso sakho.”
36 Esau kae se, “Ɛnyɛ nwonwa sɛ wɔfrɛ no Yakob a ase kyerɛ nantintwitwafo. Eyi ne ne mprenu so a wadaadaa me. Nea edi kan ne sɛ, ɔdaadaa me gyee me panyin. Nea ɛto so abien nso ne sɛ, ɔde nnaadaa agye me nhyira!” Afei, Esau bisaa nʼagya se, “Enti woannyaw me nhyira no bi a wode behyira me nso?”
U-Esawu wathi, “Kakumfanelanga na ukuthiwa nguJakhobe? Lokhu sokungokwesibili engiqila: Wathatha ubuzibulo bami, manje usethethe isibusiso sami?” Wasebuza wathi, “Kawungigcinelanga yini mina esinye isibusiso”?
37 Isak buaa Esau se, “Manya de no ayɛ wo wura dedaw. Mede ne nuanom nyinaa ayɛ ne nkoa. Mahyira no sɛ, obenya afum nnuan ne nsa foforo bebree. Na afei, dɛn bio na aka a metumi ayɛ ama wo, me ba?”
U-Isaka wamphendula u-Esawu wathi, “Sengimenze waba yinkosi phezu kwakho, ngenza zonke izihlobo zakhe zaba yizisebenzi zakhe, njalo ngamsekela ngenala yamabele langewayini elitsha. Kambe ngingabe ngisakwenzelani, ndodana yami?”
38 Esau bisaa nʼagya se, “Agya, enti nhyira baako pɛ na wowɔ? Agya, hyira me nso bi!”
U-Esawu wathi kuyise, “Kanti ulesibusiso esisodwa kuphela na baba? Ngibusisa lami, baba!” U-Esawu wasekhala kakhulu ephumisela.
39 Afei, nʼagya Isak buaa no se, “Tie! Asase kesee so na wobɛtena, na ɔsoro bosu rentɔ wɔ so.
Uyise u-Isaka wamphendula wathi, “Umuzi wakho uzakuba khatshana lokuvunda komhlaba, khatshana lamazolo asezulwini eliphezulu.
40 Wode wo afoa na ɛbɛtena ase, na woasom wo nua kumaa. Nanso daakye bi, sɛ wokanyan wo ho a, wubefi wo nua no som ase.”
Uzaphila ngokusebenzisa inkemba njalo uzamkhonza umfowenu. Kodwa kuzakuthi lapho usudlubulunda, uzalilahla ijogwe lakhe lisuke entanyeni yakho.”
41 Esiane Esau nhyira a Yakob kɔdaadaa wɔn agya Isak gyee no nti, Esau tan Yakob. Esau kaa wɔ ne tirim se, “Ɛrenkyɛ, na mʼagya Isak awu. Sɛ owu a, mekum me nua Yakob.”
U-Esawu wabambela uJakhobe isikhwili ngenxa yesibusiso uyise ayemuphe sona. Wazitshela wathi, “Insuku zokulilela ubaba seziseduze; lapho-ke ngizambulala umfowethu uJakhobe.”
42 Obi tee adwene a Esau afa wɔ ne nua kumaa Yakob ho no, ɔkɔbɔɔ wɔn na Rebeka amanneɛ. Enti Rebeka soma kɔfrɛɛ ne ba kumaa Yakob, na ɔka kyerɛɛ no se, “Wo nua Esau abɔ ne tirim sɛ, sɛ onya wo a, obekum wo ansa na ne bo atɔ ne yam.
Kwathi uRabheka esezwile okwakutshiwo yindodana yakhe endala u-Esawu, wabiza indodana yakhe encinyane uJakhobe wathi kuye, “Umnewenu u-Esawu uziduduza ngomcabango wokuthi akubulale.
43 Enti me ba, tie asɛm a merebɛka akyerɛ wo yi yiye. Guan ntɛm kɔ me nua Laban nkyɛn wɔ Haran.
Ngakho-ke wena ndodana yami, yenza lokho engikutshela khona: Baleka masinyane uye kumfowethu uLabhani eHarani.
44 Tena ne nkyɛn kakra wɔ hɔ, kosi sɛ wo nua Esau bo bedwo.
Uhlale khonale ulaka lomfowenu luze ludede.
45 Sɛ wo nua koma tɔ ne yam, na ne werɛ fi nea woyɛɛ no, na ogyaa mu ma ɛka a, mɛsoma abɛka akyerɛ wo, na woafi Haran aba. Adɛn nti na ɛsɛ sɛ metena hɔ hwɛ, na me mma baanu bɔ mu wu da koro?”
Kuzakuthi nxa umnewenu engasakuzondelanga esekhohliwe ukuthi kuyini owakwenza kuye, ngizathumela ilizwi ukuthi ubuye usuka khonale. Kambe kungaba yini ukuthi ngilahlekelwe yini lobabili ngasuku lunye na?”
46 Enti Rebeka ka kyerɛɛ Isak se, “Saa Hetifo mmabaa yi koraa ama asetena afono me. Sɛ ɛkɔba sɛ Yakob nso kɔware Hetifo asase so mmabaa yi bi a, mmea a wɔte sɛ eyinom bi a, ɛno de, na miwuu koraa a, anka eye.”
URabheka wasesithi ku-Isaka, “Ukuphila sokunginenga ngenxa yabafazi bamaHithi laba. Nxa uJakhobe engathatha umfazi ebafazini balelilizwe, abafazi bamaHithi abanje, ukuphila kwami kuyabe kungasasizi.”
