Dimatekenu

31 Mukyenyiki, Jakobo wevu yexile muzwela o an’a Labanu, exi: “Jakobo watambula o ima yoso yatokalele kwa tat’etu, o umvwama woso walana-wu, watundu ku ima yatokalele kwa tat’etu.” 2 Kyoso Jakobo kyexile mutala o pholo ya Labanu, wamwene kwila o ukexilu wê walungulukile kya, kexile dingi mu mutala kala ku dimatekenu. 3 Mukusukaku Jihova wambela Jakobo wixi: “Vutuka ku ixi ya jitata jé, ku ixi ya jindandu jé. Eme nganda kala jinga n’eye.” 4 Kyenyiki, Jakobo watumu kwixana Lakele ni Leya phala ku musanga mu mukáwu mwakexile o ibhaku yê, 5 yu wa ambela:

“Ngene mumona kwila, o ukexilu wa tat’enu wa kungitala walunguluka. Maji o Nzambi ya tata yami wala jinga n’eme. 6 Enu mwejiya kyambote kwila, eme ngasidivila tat’enu ni nguzu yami yoso. 7 O tat’enu wasoto ku ngidyodya, walungulula o futu yami mu dikwinyi dya jiveji. Maji Nzambi kehela kwila, mwene u ngibhanga kyayibha. 8 Kyoso kyexile muzwela: ‘O futu yé yanda kala o ibhaku yala ni mabaka,’ ibhaku yoso yexile muvwala twana twala ni mabaka. Maji kyoso kyexile mukwamba: ‘O ibhaku yala ni mixinda yene yanda kala o futu yé,’ ibhaku yoso yexile muvwala twana twala ni mixinda. 9 Mukyenyiki, Nzambi wakexile mukatula o ibhaku ya tat’enu yu wakexile mu ngibhana-yu eme. 10 Sayi kizuwa, kyoso o ibhaku ki yexile mu kithangana kya kwimita, ngabhetula o mesu, éme ngamono mu nzoji kwila, o isutu yakexile mukwimitisa o ibhaku yexile ni mixinda ni mabaka. 11 Mukyenyiki, o anju ya Nzambi yakidi yangambela mu nzoji: ‘Jakobo!’ Eme ngatambwijila: ‘Emyú.’ 12 Mwene wasuluka ni kuzwela: ‘Ngakudyondo, bhetula o mesu, u mone kuma, o isutu yoso yene mukwimitisa o ibhaku, yala ni mixinda ni mabaka, mukonda ngene mumona yoso yene mukubhanga Labanu. 13 Eme ngi Nzambi yakidi ya Betele, mu kididi mu wa zunzumwina o maji ku thandu ya philadi, bhu wangikanena. Kindala balumuka, tunda mu ixi yiyi, uvutuke mu ixi mwa kuvwalela.’”

14 Mukyenyiki, Lakele ni Leya ambe exi: “O kwila twanda lundula hanji kima ku jimbote jatokala ku dibhata dya tat’etu? 15 Mwene kamututala kala tu akwa ixi yengi? Mukonda watusumbisa, yu wangaxtala o kitadi kyoso kya mufutu. 16 Jimbote joso jakatula Nzambi kwa tat’etu, jatutokala etu ni an’etu. Mukyenyiki, bhanga yoso ya kutumu Nzambi.”

17 Mukithangana kyenyokyo Jakobo wabalumuka anga u tula o twana twê ni ahat’wê ku thandu a jikamelu. 18 Wabhongolola o ibhaku yê yoso, o ibhanga ya mutokalele yakexile-nayu mu Padalane, ni jimbote joso jakexile naju, wakatuka yu wayi kubhata dya tat’ê Izake, ku ixi ya Kanana.

19 Kyoso Labanu kyayi mubatula o ndemba ya jimbudi jê, Lakele wanyana o iteka* ya tat’ê. 20 Jakobo we kalekela Labanu, o mukwa Halane. Kamutangela kwila, wamuye kya. 21 Mwene walenge yu wazawuka o ngiji ya Ewufalate* ni ima yoso yexile-nayu, anga u ditela ku milundu ya Ngiliyade. 22 Mu kizuwa kya katatu, Labanu amutangela kwila, Jakobo walenge. 23 Mwene anga wambata o jiphange* jê, yu wakayela Jakobo. Mukubhita sambwadi dya izuwa ni kwenda, wa musange ku milundu ya Ngiliyade. 24 Kyenyiki, Nzambi watukulukila Labanu mukwa Halane, mu nzoji mu usuku, yu wa mwambela, wixi: “Dilange ni ima i wanda tangela Jakobo, kikale ima yambote, kikale ima yayibha.”

25 Kyenyiki, Labanu wazukama bhwa kexile Jakobo, mukonda Jakobo watele o balaka yê ku mulundu. Labanu ni jiphange jê, atele kibangu kyâ ku milundu ya Ngiliyade. 26 Kyenyiki-phe, Labanu webhwidisa Jakobo: “Ihi i wabhange? Mukonda dyahi wanginganala eye wambata an’ami kala jinguma jiwatambula mu ita bhukaxi ka xibhata? 27 Mukonda dyahi walenge mu kaswekele, kungitangela, eye wanginganala? Se wangitangelele, ngeji ku kulekela ni kisangusangu ni mimbu, ni tungoma ni mbánza. 28 Kiwangibhana né ngó kithangana kya kubhana jinzobole ku alawul’ami* ni ku an’ami. Kima kya wowa ki wabhange. 29 Ngala ni kutena kwa ku kubhanga kima kyayibha, maji o Nzambi ya tat’enu wazwela n’eme maza mu usuku, yu wangambela, wixi: ‘Dilange ni ima i wanda tangela Jakobo, kikale ima yambote, kikale ima yayibha.’ 30 Ngejiya kuma, eye wakatuka mukonda wala ni ngunzu ya dibhata dya tat’enu. Mukonda dyahi-phe wanyana o jinzambi jami?”

31 Jakobo watambwijila Labanu, wixi: “Ngatundu mukaswekele mukonda ngexile ni wôma, ngabanze kwila, ‘weji ngitambula o twana twé mu nguzu.’ 32 Woso umusanga ni jinzambi jé, watokala kufwa. Bhukaxi ka jindandu jetu, tonginina yoso i ngala-nayu, wambate-bhu yoso yakutokala.” Maji Jakobo kejidile kwila, Lakele mwéne wa jinyanene. 33 Kyenyiki, Labanu wabokona mu balaka ya Jakobo, mu balaka ya Leya ni mu balaka ya jiselevende jê jiyadi ja ahatu, maji kajisange. Mukusuluka watundu mu balaka ya Leya yu wabokona mu balaka ya Lakele. 34 Maji Lakele mwéne wakatwile o iteka, wa i swekele mu kinda kya ahatu, kyexile mu dikombola* dya kamelu yu waxikamene-ku. Mukyenyiki, Labanu wasoto mu balaka yoso, maji ka i sange. 35 Bhenyobho, Lakele wambela tat’ê, wixi: “Papá, kana kuluwala mukukamba kubalumuka bhu pholo yé, mukonda ngala mu izuwa ya ahatu.” Mukiki, mwene wasuluka mukusota ni mwanyu woso, maji kasange o iteka yê.

36 Jakobo anga njinda imukwata, u mateka kuzoka ni Labanu. Jakobo wambela Labanu, wixi: “Kyebhi o kikuma kyami? Kituxi kyahi ki ngate phala ku ngikayela ni njinda yoso yiyi? 37 Kuma wasoto ku ima yoso, ihi i wasange yakutokala? Tula-yu bhabha bhu pholo ya jiphange jami ni ya jiphange jé, phala ene atufundise kiyadi kyetu. 38 Mu makwinyi ayadi amivu u ngabhiti n’eye, o jimbudi ni jihombo jé kijaseluka, ku ibhaku yé nuka ngadile-ku jindumbe ja mbudi. 39 Kingakubhekela né kibhaku kimoxi kyojibhe ku kyama kya muxitu. Eme ngexile mu i futa. Se anyanene kibhaku mu mwanya mba mu usuku, eye ngana, wexile mu ngibhinga phala ku kufuta-kyu. 40 Mu mwanya ngexile mutala hadi ni kalolo, mu usuku ngexile mutala hadi ni mbambi. Kingexile we mukwata kilu. 41 Kwabhiti kya makwinyi ayadi amivu tunde ki ngabhixila kubhata dyé, ngakukalakalela dikwinyi ni kiwana kya mivu mukonda dya an’é kiyadi, ni mivu isamanu mukonda dya ibhaku yé. Eye ngana yami, futu yami wa ilungulula mu dikwinyi dya jiveji. 42 Se o Nzambi ya tat’etu, o Nzambi ya Mbalahamu, Yó amuxila kwala Izake, kexile ku mbandu yami, hinu eye ngana yami wangikaye ni maku a hatu. Nzambi wamono o kutata kwami ni kukalakala kwami kwa nguzu, kyene kya mubhangesa ku kubazela maza mu usuku.”

43 Bhenyobho, Labanu watambwijila Jakobo: “Yá an’ami, yá alawul’ami, yiyi ibhaku yami, ima yoso i wa mumona ya ngitokala eme ni an’ami.’ Kima kyahi kyayibha ki ngitena kubhanga lelu ku an’ami ni ku alawula a ngivwalela? 44 Kindala-phe, tute kikutu eye n’eme, o kikutu kiki kyanda kala mbangi bhukaxi ketu.” 45 Kyenyiki, Jakobo wakwata ditadi yu wadimika kala philadi. 46 Jakobo wambela o jiphange jê: “Bhongololenu matadi!” Ene abhongolola matadi, a atula bhu kididi kimoxi. Mukusuluka, adi bhenyobho ku thandu a matadi. 47 Kididi kyenyokyo Labanu wakiluku Jingale-Sahaduta,* maji Jakobo wakiluku Ngalede.*

48 Kyenyiki, Labanu wambe: “Lelu o philadi yiyi ya matadi yakituka mbangi bhukaxi ké n’eme.” Kyene kya ilukila Ngalede 49 ni Kididi kya Mulangidi,* mukonda mwene wambe: “Jihova atulangidile kyoso kitudisandula. 50 Se u talatala kyayibha o twana twami, anga u mateka kusota ahatu engi, o twana twami anga u tuxisa, né se kikwala muthu u kumona, ejiya kwila o Nzambi wa kà kala mbangi bhukaxi kami n’eye.” 51 Labanu wambela dingi Jakobo, wixi: “Yá ene o matadi u ngabhongolola, yiyi yene o philadi i ngemika bhukaxi kami n’eye. 52 O matadi yá anda kala mbangi, o philadi yiyi yanda bhana we umbangi kwila, kinganda matuka o matadi yá o bhongolole, phala ku kubhanga phulu. Eye we kiwanda matuka o matadi yá o bhongolole, ni philadi yiyi phala kungibhanga phulu. 53 O Nzambi ya Mbalahamu, Nzambi ya Naholo, Nzambi ya jitata jâ, atufundise eye n’eme.” Jakobo anga ulôka mu dijina dya Yó amuxila kwa tat’ê Izake.

54 Mukubhita o ima yiyi, Jakobo wabhakula sata ku mulundu, yu wexana o jiphange jê phala kudya o mbolo. Kyenyiki adi, ya abhiti o usuku ku mulundu. 55 Maji Labanu wabalumuka mu kamenemene, wabhana jinzobole ku alawula* ni ku twana twê, anga wa abesowala. Mukusuluka, Labanu wakatuka yu wavutuka ku bhata dyê.
