UGenesise 32
Ingelosi kaJehova yahlangana noJakobe
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.
