UJehova utshela uJakobe ukuthi abuyele ezweni lawoyise
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.
