UGenesise 32

¹UJakobe waqhubeka, futhi ingelosi kaNkulunkulu yamhlangabeza.

²Kwathi uJakobe ezibona wathi: Leli libutho likaNkulunkulu; waqamba leyo ndawo ngokuthi iMahanayimi.

³UJakobe wathuma izithunywa phambi kwakhe ku-Esawu umfowabo ezweni laseSeyiri, izwe lakwa-Edomi.

⁴Wabayala wathi: “Niyakukhuluma kanje enkosini yami u-Esawu; Isho kanje inceku yakho uJakobe, ithi: Ngahlala kuLabani njengowezizwe, ngahlala khona kwaze kwaba manje.

⁵Nginezinkomo nezimbongolo, nezimvu, nezigqila, nezincekukazi; ngathumela ukutshela inkosi yami lokho, ukuze ngithole umusa emehlweni akho.

⁶Izithunywa zabuyela kuJakobe, zathi: “Sifikile kumfowenu u-Esawu, naye uze ukukuhlangabeza enamadoda angamakhulu amane.”

⁷UJakobe wesaba kakhulu, wakhathazeka, wahlukanisa abantu ababe naye, nezimvu, nezinkomo, namakamela, izigaba ezimbili;

⁸Wathi: “Uma u-Esawu efika kwesinye isixuku, asinqobe, esinye isixuku esiseleyo siyakuphunyuka.”

⁹Wayesethi uJakobe: “O Nkulunkulu kababa u-Abrahama noNkulunkulu kababa u-Isaka, uJehova owathi kimi: ‘Buyela ezweni lakini nasezihlotsheni zakho, futhi ngizokwenza okuhle kuwe.

¹⁰Angifaneleki umusa wakho neqiniso lonke olenze encekwini yakho; ngoba ngadabula leli Jordani ngentonga yami; futhi manje sengingamaqembu amabili.

¹¹Ngisindise esandleni somfowethu, esandleni sika-Esawu, ngokuba ngiyamesaba, funa afike angishaye kanye nonina kanye nabantwana.

¹²Wathi wena: Impela ngiyakukwenzela okuhle, ngenze inzalo yakho ibe ngangesihlabathi solwandle esingenakubalwa ngenxa yobuningi.

¹³Walala khona ngalobo busuku; ekufikeni kwakhe waphathela u-Esawu umfowabo isipho;

¹⁴izimpongo ezingamakhulu amabili, nezimpongo ezingamashumi amabili, nezimvukazi ezingamakhulu amabili, nezinqama ezingamashumi amabili;

¹⁵Amakamela amunyisayo angamashumi amathathu namathole awo, izinkomo ezingamashumi amane, nezinkunzi eziyishumi, nezimbongolo ezingamashumi amabili, namathole ayishumi.

¹⁶Wazinikela esandleni sezinceku zakhe, umhlambi ngokwehlukana kwawo; wathi ezincekwini zakhe: “Phumani phambi kwami, nibeke isikhala phakathi komhlambi wezinkomo nomhlambi.”

¹⁷Wayala izikhulu, wathi: “Nxa u-Esawu umfowethu ehlangana nani, ekubuza ethi: ‘Ningokabani na?’ kanti uyaphi? futhi kungokabani lokhu phambi kwakho na?

¹⁸Uyakuthi: ‘Ngezenceku yakho uJakobe; kuyisipho esithunyelwe enkosini yami u-Esawu; bheka, naye usemuva kwethu.

¹⁹Wayala nowesibili nowesithathu nabo bonke ababelandela imihlambi, wathi: “Niyakukhuluma kanje ku-Esawu, lapho nimfumana.”

²⁰Bheka, inceku yakho uJakobe ingemva kwethu. Ngoba wathi: Ngizamduduza ngesipho esihamba phambi kwami, andukuba ngibone ubuso bakhe; mhlawumbe uzokwamukela kimi.

²¹Ngakho isipho saphuma phambi kwakhe futhi wahlala ubusuku phakathi kwesixuku.

²²Wavuka ngalobo busuku, wathatha abafazi bakhe ababili nezincekukazi zakhe ezimbili namadodana akhe ayishumi nanye, wadabula isigodi saseJabhoki.

²³Wabathatha, wabawelisa umfula, wathumela lokho anakho.

²⁴UJakobe wasala yedwa; kwaba khona umuntu wabambana naye kwaze kwasa.

²⁵Esebona ukuthi akamnqobanga, wamthinta esikhoxeni senyonga; isikhonkwane senyonga kaJakobe saqhekezeka ekubambeni kwakhe.

²⁶Wathi: “Ngiyeke ngihambe, ngokuba kuyasa.” Wathi: “Angiyikukuyeka ukuba uhambe, ungakangibusisi.”

²⁷Wathi kuye: “Ungubani igama lakho na?” Wathi: “Jakobe!

²⁸Wathi: “Igama lakho alisayikuthiwa uJakobe, kepha u-Israyeli;

²⁹UJakobe wambuza wathi: “Ngitshele igama lakho.” Wathi: “Ubuzelani igama lami na? Wambusisa lapho.

³⁰UJakobe waqamba leyo ndawo ngokuthi iPheniyeli, ngokuba ngibone uNkulunkulu ubuso nobuso, wasinda umphefumulo wami.

³¹Esedlula ePniel, ilanga lamphumela, wema ethangeni lakhe.

³²Ngalokho abantwana bakwa-Israyeli abawudli umsipha wenyonga kuze kube namuhla, ngokuba wathinta esikhoxeni senyonga kaJakobe emsipheni oshwabeneyo.
