UGenesise 31

¹Wezwa amazwi amadodana kaLabani, ethi: “UJakobe wathatha konke okwakungokukababa; futhi kulokho okwakungokukababa wathola lonke lolu dumo.

²UJakobe wabona ubuso bukaLabani, bheka, babungenjengakuqala kuye.

³UJehova wayesethi kuJakobe: “Buyela ezweni lawoyihlo nasezihlotsheni zakho; futhi ngizoba nawe.

⁴UJakobe wathumela wabiza uRaheli noLeya endle emhlambini wakhe.

⁵Wathi kubo: “Ngiyabubona ubuso bukayihlo ukuthi kabunjengakuqala kimi; kepha uNkulunkulu kababa wayenami.

⁶Niyazi nina ukuthi ngamkhonza uyihlo ngawo onke amandla ami;

⁷Uyihlo wangikhohlisa, waguqula inkokhelo yami kayishumi; kodwa uNkulunkulu kamvumelanga ukuthi angilimaze.

⁸Uma esho njalo ukuthi: Ezimanakanaka ziyakuba ngumvuzo wenu; zonke izinkomo zazigqoka ezimanakanaka; futhi uma esho kanje: Ezinemishwe ziyakuba ngumvuzo wenu; zonke izinkomo zinemishwe.

⁹Ngakho uNkulunkulu wazithatha izinkomo zikayihlo wanginika zona.

¹⁰Ngesikhathi umhlambi ukhulelwa, ngaphakamisa amehlo ami, ngabona ephusheni, bheka, izinqama ezikhwela umhlambi zazimthende, nezimanakanaka, nezimaqamu.

¹¹Ingelosi kaNkulunkulu yasikhuluma kimi ngephupho, yathi: “Jakobe; ngathi: Nangu mina.”

¹²Yasisithi: Phakamisa amehlo akho, ubone, zonke izinqama ezikhwela umhlambi zimthende, ezilamabala, nezingamaqamu, ngokuba ngikubonile konke uLabani akwenzayo kuwe.

¹³NginguNkulunkulu waseBethele, lapho wagcoba khona itshe lesikhumbuzo, nalapho wenza isithembiso kimi; vuka manje, uphume kuleli zwe, ubuyele ezweni lokuzalwa kwakho.

¹⁴Base bephendula oRaheli noLeya, bathi kuye: “Sisenesabelo nefa endlini kababa na?”

¹⁵Asibalwa njengabafokazi kuye na? ngokuba usithengisile, wadla nemali yethu.

¹⁶Ngokuba yonke ingcebo uNkulunkulu ayithatha kubaba ingeyethu neyabantwana bethu; khona-ke yenza manje konke uNkulunkulu akutshele khona.

¹⁷UJakobe wasukuma, wakhwelisa amadodana akhe nabafazi bakhe emakameleni;

¹⁸Wathatha zonke imfuyo yakhe nayo yonke impahla yakhe abeyizuzile, imfuyo abeyizuzile ayeyizuzile ePhadani Aramu ukuze aye kuyise u-Isaka ezweni laseKhanani.

¹⁹ULabani wahamba ukuyogunda izimvu zakhe, uRaheli weba izithombe zikayise.

²⁰UJakobe wamfihla uLabani umAramu engazi, ngokungamtshelanga ukuthi uyabaleka.

²¹Wabaleka nakho konke anakho; wasuka, wawela umfula, wabhekisa ubuso bakhe ezintabeni zakwaGileyadi.

²²Kwathi ngosuku lwesithathu uLabani watshelwa ukuthi uJakobe ubalekile.

²³Wathatha abafowabo, bamxosha ibanga lezinsuku eziyisikhombisa; bamfica ezintabeni zakwaGileyadi.

²⁴UNkulunkulu wayesefika kuLabani umAramu ephusheni ebusuku, wathi kuye: “Ziqaphele ukuba ungakhulumi okuhle noma okubi kuJakobe.”

²⁵ULabani wamfica uJakobe. UJakobe wamisa itende lakhe entabeni, uLabani nabafowabo bamisa entabeni yaseGileyadi.

²⁶ULabani wasesithi kuJakobe: Wenzeni ukuthi ungebele ngokungazi, wathumba amadodakazi ami ekuthunjweni ngenkemba?

²⁷Ubalekeleni ngasese wangeba; awushongo kimi ukuthi bengiyakumukisa ngentokozo, nangezihlabelelo, nangetamale, nangehange?

²⁸Awungivumelanga ukuba ngange amadodana ami namadodakazi ami na? wenze into ewubuwula nje.

²⁹Kusemandleni esandla sami ukukulimaza; kodwa uNkulunkulu kayihlo ukhulume kimi izolo ebusuku, wathi: Ziqaphele, ungakhulumi okuhle kumbe okubi kuJakobe.

³⁰Manje, noma wawufuna ukuhamba, ngokuba wawulangazelela indlu kayihlo, webeleni onkulunkulu bami na?

³¹UJakobe waphendula, wathi kuLabani: “Ngokuba ngesaba, ngokuba ngathi: Mhlawumbe uyakungiphuca amadodakazi akho.”

³²Lowo othola kuye onkulunkulu bakho, ungamvumeli aphile. Ngoba uJakobe wayengazi ukuthi uRaheli wayezebile.

³³ULabani wangena etendeni likaJakobe, nasetendeni likaLeya nasematendeni ezincekukazi ezimbili; kodwa kabatholanga. Waphuma etendeni likaLeya, wangena etendeni likaRaheli.

³⁴URaheli wathatha izithombe, wazifaka empahleni wekamela, wahlala phezu kwazo. ULabani waphenya itende lonke, akalitholanga.

³⁵Wathi kuyise: “Mayingathukutheli inkosi yami ukuthi ngingenakusukuma phambi kwakho; ngoba umkhuba wabesifazane uphezu kwami. Wacinga, kepha akazitholanga izithombe.

³⁶UJakobe wathukuthela, wamhlupha uLabani; uJakobe waphendula, wathi kuLabani: “Siyini isiphambeko sami na?” isono sami siyini ukuba ungizingele kangaka na?

³⁷Lapho usuhlolisisile zonke izinto zami, utholeni kuzo zonke izimpahla zendlu yakho? yibeke lapha phambi kwabafowethu nabafowenu, ukuze bahlulele phakathi kwethu sobabili.

³⁸Le minyaka engamashumi amabili benginawe; izimvukazi zakho nezimbuzi zakho aziphunzanga, nezinqama zomhlambi wakho angizidlanga.

³⁹Okudwengulwe ezilwaneni angikulethanga; ngikuthwalele ukulahlekelwa yikho; Wayibiza esandleni sami, noma yebiwe emini noma ebusuku.

⁴⁰Nganginjalo; ukoma kwangidla emini nesithwathwa ebusuku; ubuthongo bami basuka emehlweni ami.

⁴¹Ngibe neminyaka engamashumi amabili endlini yakho; Ngakukhonza iminyaka eyishumi nane ngenxa yamadodakazi akho amabili neminyaka eyisithupha ngenxa yezinkomo zakho; futhi uwuguqule iholo lami izikhathi eziyishumi.

⁴²Uma uNkulunkulu kababa, uNkulunkulu ka-Abrahama, nokwesaba kuka-Isaka, wayengenami, ngabe ungimukise ngize. UNkulunkulu ulubonile usizi lwami nomsebenzi wezandla zami futhi wakusola izolo ebusuku.

⁴³ULabani wasephendula wathi kuJakobe: Lawa amadodakazi angamadodakazi ami, labantwana bangabantwana bami, lezinkomo ziyinkomo zami, lakho konke okubonayo kungokwami; ngingenzani lawa madodakazi ami lamuhla kubantwana bawo abawazalayo?

⁴⁴Woza-ke, senze isivumelwano, mina lawe; futhi makube ngufakazi phakathi kwami nawe.

⁴⁵UJakobe wathatha itshe, walimisa laba yinsika.

⁴⁶UJakobe wayesethi kubafowabo: “Buthani amatshe; bathatha amatshe, benza inqwaba; badla khona phezu kwenqwaba.

⁴⁷ULabani wayibiza ngokuthi iJegarisahadutha, kepha uJakobe wayibiza ngokuthi iGaledi.

⁴⁸Wayesethi uLabani: “Lelithemba namuhla liwubufakazi phakathi kwami nawe.” Ngalokho igama lawo lathiwa iGaledi;

⁴⁹neMispa; ngoba wathi: INkosi iyalinda phakathi kwami lawe, nxa singekho omunye.

⁵⁰Uma ucindezela amadodakazi ami, noma uthatha abanye abafazi ngaphandle kwamadodakazi ami, akukho muntu onathi; bheka, uNkulunkulu ungufakazi phakathi kwami nawe.

⁵¹ULabani wayesethi kuJakobe: “Nanti leli themba, nali itshe lesikhumbuzo engiliphonse phakathi kwami nawe;

⁵²Lelithemba libe ngufakazi, futhi lelitshe lesikhumbuzo libe ngufakazi, ukuthi ngeke ngidlulisele lelithemba kini, nokuthi aniyikudiliza lelithemba naleli tshe lesikhumbuzo ukuze ngenze umonakalo.

⁵³UNkulunkulu ka-Abrahama noNkulunkulu kaNahori, uNkulunkulu kayise wabo, makahlulele phakathi kwethu. UJakobe wafunga ngokwesaba kukayise u-Isaka.

⁵⁴UJakobe wenza umhlatshelo entabeni, wabiza abafowabo ukuba badle isinkwa; badla isinkwa, bahlala entabeni ubusuku bonke.

⁵⁵ULabani wavuka ekuseni kakhulu, wanga amadodana akhe namadodakazi akhe, wawabusisa; uLabani wahamba, wabuyela endaweni yakhe.
