Amavesi eBhayibheli adumile avela kokuthi UGenesise 32

Dlulisela

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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