Bathi: “Sisuka kwaHaran. 5Wathi kubo, Niyamazi na uLabhan, unyana kaNakore? Bathi ke bona, Siyamazi. 6Wathi kubo, Usaphilile na? Bathi, Usahleli, nanko uRakeli intombi yakhe, esiza nempahla emfutshane. 7Waza wathi: Khangela, kusesemini, kwaye alikafiki ixesha lokuba iinkomo zihlanganiswe; seza iigusha, uziphe ukutya. 8Bathi, Asinako, ide ihlanganiselwe ndawonye yonke impahla emfutshane, liqengqiwe ilitye, lisuke emlonyeni wequla, siyiseze ke impahla emfutshane. 9Ke kaloku esathetha nabo, wafika uRakeli nempahla emfutshane kayise, kuba ubesalusa. 10Uthe uYakobi akumbona uRakeli, intombi kaLabhan, nodade bonina, nempahla emfutshane kaLabhan, udade bonina, wasondela uYakobi, waliqengqa ilitye lesuka emlonyeni wequla, wayishiya impahla emfutshane kaLabhan, udade bonina nika amanzi. 11uYakobi wamanga uRakeli, waliphakamisa izwi lakhe, walila. 12uYakobi wamxelela uRakeli ukuba ungudade boyise, nokuba ungunyana kaRebheka; wagidima waya kuxelela uyise. 13Uthe uLabhan akuluva udaba lukaYakobi, unyana wodade wabo, wagidima waya kumkhawulela, wamwola, wamanga, wamngenisa endlwini yakhe. Wamxelela uLabhan yonke loo nto. 14Wathi uLabhan kuye, Okunene ulithambo lam, uyinyama yam; Wahlala naye inyanga yanye. 15Wathi uLabhan kuYakobi, Kungokuba ungudade wethu na? khawutsho uzakuba yintoni umvuzo wakho? 16uLabhan waye eneentombi ezimbini; igama lenkulu lalinguLeya, igama lenci lalinguRakeli. 17Ke uLeya wayenamehlo athambileyo; ke uRakeli ebemhle isiqu, emhle imbonakalo. 18uYakobi ubethanda uRakeli; Wathi, Ndokukhonza iminyaka esixhenxe ngenxa kaRakeli, intombi yakho encinane. 19Wathi uLabhan Kulungile ukuba ndimnike wena, kunokuba ndimnike enye indoda; Hlala nam. 20uYakobi wakhonza uRakeli iminyaka esixhenxe; kwaba yimihla embalwa kuye, ngenxa yothando abemthanda ngalo. 21Wathi uYakobi kuLabhan, Ndinike umkam, ngokuba izalisekile imihla yam, ukuba ndimngene. 22uLabhan wabahlanganisa bonke abantu baloo mmandla waza wenza isidlo. 23Kwahlwa, wathabatha uLeya intombi yakhe, wamngenisa kuye; wangena kuye. 24Intombi yakhe uLeya, uLabhan wayinika uZilipa, umkhonzazana wakhe, ukuba abe ngumkhonzazana wayo. 25Kwathi ngesifingo, wabona ukuba nguLeya, wathi kuLabhan, Yintoni na le nto undenze yona? Andikhonzanga nawe uRakeli na? so undiqhathe ngantoni? 26Wathi uLabhan, Makwenjiwa nje apha ezweni lakowethu, ukuthi, kunikwe abamncinane phambi kowamazibulo. 27Gqibezela iveki yakhe, yaye sokunika ngenkonzo oya kundikhonza ngayo eminye iminyaka esixhenxe. 28Wenjenjalo uYakobi, wayigqiba iveki yaloo mfazi; wamnika noRakeli intombi yakhe, yangumkakhe. 29Intombi yakhe uRakeli, uLabhan wayinika uBhiliha, umkhonzazana wakhe, ukuba abe ngumkhonzazana wakhe. 30Naye wamngena uRakeli, wamthanda uRakeli ngaphezu koLeya, wakhonza ke naye eminye iminyaka esixhenxe. 31uYehova wabona ukuba uLeya uthiyiwe, wasivula isizalo sakhe; ke uRakeli ebengazali. 32Wamitha ke uLeya, wazala unyana, wathi igama lakhe nguRubhen; ngokuba wathi, uYehova uzibonile iintsizi zam; ngoku iya kundithanda indoda yam. 33Wabuya wamitha, wazala unyana; Wathi, uYehova uvile ukuba ndithiyiwe, wandinika lo nyana; Wamthiya igama elinguSimon. 34Wabuya wamitha, wazala unyana; Wathi, Ngoku indoda yam iya kundizeka, kuba ndizele oonyana abathathu; ngenxa yoko wamthiya igama elinguLevi. 35Wabuya wamitha, wazala unyana, wathi, Kaloku ke ndithanda ukudumisa uYehova; ke ngoko wamthiya igama elinguYuda; akaphinda azale.
