1. | Ke kaloku akubona uRakeli ukuba akamzaleli mntwana uYakobi, uRakeli wammonela udade wabo, wathi kuYakobi, Ndinike abantwana; ukuba akundiniki, ndofa. |
2. | Wavutha umsindo kaYakobi ngakuRakeli, wathi, Ndisesikhundleni sikaThixo na, okuvimbileyo isiqhamo sesizalo? |
3. | Wathi yena, Nantso impelesi yam uBhiliha; yingene, izalele emadolweni am, ndakheke nam ngayo. |
4. | Wamnika ke uBhiliha, umkhonzazana wakhe, ukuba abe ngumfazi; uYakobi wamngena. |
5. | Wamitha uBhiliha, wamzalela uYakobi unyana. |
6. | Wathi uRhakeli, UThixo undigwebele, kananjalo uliphulaphule izwi lam, wandinika unyana; ngenxa yoko wamthiya igama elinguDan. |
7. | Wabuya wamitha uBhiliha, umkhonzazana kaRakeli, wamzalela uYakobi unyana wesibini. |
8. | Wathi uRakeli, Ndizamene nodade wethu imizamo kaThixo, kananjalo ndeyisa; wamthiya igama elinguNafetali. |
9. | Ke kaloku wabona uLeya ukuba unqamkile ukuzala, wathabatha uZilipa, umkhonzazana wakhe, wamnika uYakobi ukuba abe ngumfazi. |
10. | UZilipa, umkhonzazana kaLeya, wamzalela uYakobi unyana. |
11. | Wathi uLeya, Lithamsanqa! Wamthiya igama elinguGadi. |
12. | UZilipa, umkhonzazana kaLeya, wamzalela uYakobi unyana wesibini. |
13. | Wathi uLeya, Ndiva uyolo, ngokuba iintombi ziya kuthi ndinoyolo. Wamthiya igama elinguAshere. |
14. | Waya uRubhen ngemihla yovuno lwengqolowa, wafumana amathuma endle, wawazisa kuLeya unina. Wathi uRakeli kuLeya, Khawundiphe emathumeni onyana wakho lawo. |
15. | Wathi kuye, Yinto encinane na ukuyithabatha indoda yam, ubuye uthabathe namathuma onyana wam? Wathi uRakeli, Ngako oko mayilale nawe ngobu busuku, ngenxa yamathuma onyana wakho lawo. |
16. | Wafika uYakobi evela ezindle ngokuhlwa, waphuma uLeya esiya kumkhawulela, wathi, Uze undingene, kuba ndikuqeshile ngamathuma onyana wam. Walala ke naye ngobo busuku. |
17. | UThixo wamphulaphula uLeya; wamitha, wamzalela uYakobi unyana wesihlanu. |
18. | Wathi uLeya, UThixo undinikile umvuzo wam, ngenxa yokuba indoda yam ndiyinike umkhonzazana wam. |
19. | Wamthiya igama elinguIsakare. Wabuya wamitha uLeya, wamzalela uYakobi unyana wesithandathu. |
20. | Wathi uLeya, UThixo undiphe isipho esilungileyo; okwesi sihlandlo indoda yam iya kuhlala nam, kuba ndiyizalele oonyana abathandathu. Wamthiya igama elinguZebhulon. |
21. | Emveni koko wazala intombi, wayithiya igama elinguDina. |
22. | Ke kaloku uThixo wamkhumbula uRakeli uThixo wamphulaphula, wasivula isizalo sakhe. |
23. | Wamitha, wazala unyana, wathi, UThixo ukususile ukungcikivwa kwam. |
24. | Wamthiya igama elinguYosefu, wathi, UYehova makongezelele omnye unyana. |
25. | Kwathi, xa uRakeli ebemzele uYosefu, wathi uYakobi kuLabhan, Ndindulule ndiye endaweni yakowethu, ezweni lakowethu. |
26. | Ndinike abafazi bam nabantwana bam, endikukhonze ngenxa yabo, ndihambe; kuba wena uyayazi inkonzo yam endikukhonze ngayo. |
27. | Wathi uLabhan kuye, Ukuba kaloku ndibabalwe nguwe, hlala; ndihlabe ukuthi uYehova undisikelele ngenxa yakho. |
28. | Wathi, Ndimisele kakuhle umvuzo wakho ondifaneleyo, ndikunike. |
29. | Wathi kuye, Uyalwazi nawe uhlobo lokukukhonza kwam, nohlobo lokuhlala kwempahla yakho nam. |
30. | Kuba obunayo ndingekafiki yabe imbalwa, ngoku izazekile yaninzi; uYehova ukusikelele apho unyawo lwam luthe lwanyathela; kaloku ndiya kuyisebenzela nini na mna eyam indlu? |
31. | Wathi, Ndikunike ntoni na? Wathi uYakobi, Akuyi kundinika nento le; ukuba uthe wandenzela le ndawo, ndobuya ndiyaluse impahla yakho emfutshane, ndiyigcine. |
32. | Ndiya kucanda phakathi kwayo yonke impahla yakho emfutshane namhlanje, ndihambe ndikhetha kuyo zonke iingusha ezinala, nezirhwexu, neegusha zonke ezimnyama phakathi kwamatakane, nazo zonke ezirhwexu nezinala phakathi kweebhokhwe, zibe ngumvuzo wam; |
33. | bundingqinele ke ubulungisa bam ngexesha elizayo, xa uthe weza kumvuzo wam ophambi kwakho: zonke ezingenala, nezingerhwexu phakathi kweebhokhwe, nezingemnyama phakathi kweegusha, zoba zezibiweyo ezo, xa zithe zakum. |
34. | Wathi uLabhan, Yabona, makube ngokwelizwi lakho elo. |
35. | Wazikhetha ngaloo mhla iinkunzi zeebhokhwe ezinemizila, nezirhwexu, nazo zonke iimazi zeebhokwe ezinakazi, nezirhwexukazi, zonke ezinobumhlophe, nazo zonke ezimnyama phakathi kwamatakane, wazinikela esandleni soonyana bakhe. |
36. | Wamisa uhambo lweemini ezintathu phakathi kwabo noYakobi; uYakobi walusa eseleyo ke impahla emfutshane kaLabhan. |
37. | Ke kaloku uYakobi wathabatha iintonga zompopulari omhlophe ezimanzi, nezom-amangile, nezompleyini, wachuba iindawo ezimhlophe kuzo, exwebula buvele ubumhlophe obusezintongeni ezo. |
38. | Wazimisa iintonga abezichubile emijelweni, emikhumbini yamanzi, apho impahla emfutshane ibiza kusela khona, phambi kwempahla emfutshane, ukuba iphathane xa iza kusela. |
39. | Yaphathana ke impahla emfutshane phambi kweentonga ezo, yazala impahla emfutshane enemizila, nerhwexu, nenala. |
40. | Wawahlula uYakobi amatakane lawo, wabukhangelisa ubuso bempahla emfutshane malunga nenemizila, nemnyama, yonke empahleni emfutshane kaLabhan; wayibeka yodwa eyakhe imihlambi, akayibeka empahleni emfutshane kaLabhan. |
41. | Kwathi, xa iphathanayo eyomeleleyo empahleni emfutshane, uYakobi wazibeka iintonga phambi kwempahla emfutshane emijelweni, ukuze iphathane phakathi kweentonga. |
42. | Xa ityhafileyo impahla emfutshane, akazibekanga; yathi ke etyhafileyo yaba yekaLabhan, eyomeleleyo yaba yekaYakobi. |
43. | Yanda indoda leyo kakhulu kunene, Yanda indoda leyo kakhulu kunene, yaba nempahla emfutshane enizi, nabakhonzazana, nabakhonzi, neenkamela, namaesile. |
