5 Omuundapi emupulu okuti: “Ine omukai ketavela okuya na ame kuno, ndyilinga ñgeni? Tyitavela ndyitwale omona wove kotyilongo oku watundile tatekulu?”+ 6 Ambalayau akumbulula okuti: “Lunguka, wahatwale-ko omona wange.+ 7 Siovaa Huku yeulu, wamphola kotyilongo tya tate, una wamphola kotyilongo tyo vetu,+ apopi na ame aane+ ati: ‘Mandyiavela otyilongo etyi+ ava mavakatuka mwoove,’*+ matumu oandyu maikupiti komutwe,+ ove tyili-tyili mokavasa-ko omukai manepwa nomona wange.+ 8 Ine omukai ketavela okuya noove, opo ove wayovoka mwetyi waana. Mahi omona wange wehemutwale oko.” 9 Omuundapi apake okuvoko mevango lya Ambalayau, tatekulu yae, aane, ati otyo malingi.+

10 Omuundapi apolo omakamelu 10 a tatekulu yae, aende, atyindi ovipuka ovinyingi vielikalaila apola ku tatekulu yae. Elipake mondyila, okwenda no ko Mesopotamia epunda-umbo lya Naole. 11 Etyi ekehika kotyilongo oko ponyombo imwe ikala kondye yepunda-umbo, atalameka omakamelu apululukwe. Oola yatyo o komapeto, oola ovakai vatapa omaande. 12 Pahe elipopila okuti: “Siovaa, Huku ya tatekulu yange Ambalayau, mbambavo ndyikwita unkhwateseko monthiki ino opo atyiho tyeende nawa, kala-vo nolwembia olunene na tatekulu yange Ambalayau. 13 Ndyili pano, ndyitai ponthele pondyivi-ndyivi yomaande, ovana ovafikwena mepunda-umbo eli, vekahi nokuya okutapa omaande. 14 Ndyikwita okuti omufikwena ou namati: ‘Mbambavo yendeleka-vo omulindi wove ndyinwe-ko,’ akumbulula okuti: ‘Nwa, ndyinwise omakamelu ove,’ oe waholovona akale wa Isake omuundapi wove; ine otyo tyeenda ngootyo, mandyinoñgonoka okuti wakala nolwembia olunene na tatekulu yange.”

15 Kamanene-ale okupopia, ou Lembeka kuna uhika, watyinda omulindi wae potyipepe. Lembeka omona wa Mbetwele, Mbetwele+ omona wa Milika, Milika+ omukai wa Naole,+ Naole velilandula na Ambalayau. 16 Lembeka wali omukai umwe omuwa, wehei mulume; petupu omulume wayamene kolutu lwae. Eya no ponyombo atapela eyulisa omulindi wae, alondeka. 17 Omuundapi emuhatekela, etyi emuvasa ati: “Mbambavo ndyinwe-vo katutu omeva komulindi wove.” 18 Ngwe ati: “Tatekulu upondola okunwa-ko.” Liwa-liwa ayendeleka omulindi wae, eukwata pomavoko, emupe anwe-ko. 19 Etyi amana okunwa, Lembeka ati: “Mandyikatapa vali omeva ndyinwise omakamelu ove aakowa.” 20 Omaande eli momulindi eeuyulila komutemba, elikondauka ponyombo ehimbwe-ehimbwe, atape omaande okunwisa omakamelu aeho. 21 Ou omulume, atyimuhuvisa, otyo atala vala tyahapopi, otyo elipula ine Siovaa waendeka nawa ondyila yae.

22 Etyi omakamelu anwa, omulume apolo ombilingu yo keyulu, ilema otyihupe tyosikulu,* novinunga vivali vilema onosikulu* 10, 23 emupulu okuti: “Ho olie nkhelo? Okuti tupondola-vo okukalalela meumbo lya ho?” 24 Emupopila okuti: “Ndyimona wa Mbetwele, Mbetwele+ omona wa Milika vatyita na Naole.”+ 25 Ayawisa-ko vali okuti: “Meumbo lietu muna apa mupondola okulala, muna eholi nomangenge omanyingi omakamelu.” 26 Okwiiva onondaka ombo, omulume aikila konongolo, afende Siovaa, 27 ati: “Ahilivikwe Siovaa, Huku ya tatekulu yange Ambalayau, mokonda walinga tatekulu yange olwembia olunene, akala omukwatyili kwe. Siovaa wanthyongolela meumbo liombunga ya tatekulu yange.”

28 Omufikwena atundu opo nokuhateka, okuhungama keumbo lya ina eketyipopia. 29 Lembeka wali nomphange yae utiwa o Lambau.+ Ou Lambau okutyiiva, ahateka akaovola omulume oo konyombo. 30 Okwamona ombilingu yo keyulu, novinunga omphange yae avalekwa komavoko, nonondaka Lembeka omphange yae apopia, etyi ati: “Omulume wamphopila etyi neetyi,” Lambau aende komulume utai pomakamelu ponyombo. 31 Lambau ati: “Endyu twende, ove wayambwa na Siovaa. Wakalela-tyi kondye? Ame nalinga-le nawa apa mamulala, na apa omakamelu ove maakalela.” 32 Omulume anyingila meumbo, ngwe* atulula omitumba komakamelu, eepe omangenge neholi, aavela omulume omaande okukoha konomphai mbae no mba vana eya navo. 33 Etyi vemwavela okulia, omulume oo ati: “Ame himali otyo nehenetoleswe ndyipopie etyi tyandyeta.” Lambau ati: “Popia!”

34 Okutwalako omulume ati: “Ndyimuundapi wa Ambalayau.+ 35 Siovaa wayamba unene tatekulu yange, wemulinga omuhona, wemwavela onongi, nonongombe, no palata, no oulu, novaundapi ovalume novakai, nomakamelu, nomambulu.+ 36 Sala omukai wa tatekulu yange, wakutula omona omukwendye ngwe wakulupale,+ tatekulu yange maavela omona wae atyiho ena-tyo.+ 37 Pahe tatekulu yange wanthuma okwaana ati: ‘Wahapolele omukai omona wange povana vova Kanaa vana tukala navo muno.+ 38 Mahi una okwenda kotyilongo tya tate, kombunga yange,+ ngako omona wange ukemupolela omukai.’+ 39 Andyipulu tatekulu okuti: ‘Ine omukai ketavela okuya na ame kuno, ndyilinga ñgeni?’+ 40 Ngwe ati: ‘Siovaa ou ame ndyilingila,+ mekutumu oandyu yae+ maikupiti komutwe, oungendi wove ewendeka nawa. Kapolele omona wange omukai, pokati kombunga yange, meumbo lya tate.+ 41 Etyi ove wapopia ñgaa waana, moyovoka vala tyina wekehika kombunga yange ngwe avaanye avehekupe omukai. Opo vala opo moyovoka mbili waana.’+

42 “Hono etyi ame nehika ponyombo, nelipopila andyiti: ‘Siovaa, Huku ya tatekulu yange Ambalayau, ine wetyihanda ondyila yange yeende nawa, 43 ndyili pano ponyombo. Tyina kwameya ovafikwena+ veya okutapa omeva, ou namati: “Ndyinwe-vo katutu omeva komulindi wove,” 44 ankhumbulula okuti: “Nwa-ko, nomakamelu ove mandyietapelela anwe,” omuhikwena oo akale-vo ou Siovaa aholovonena omona wa tatekulu yange.’+

45 “Hamanene-ale okulipopila, Lembeka kuna uya nomulindi wae potyipepe; eya no ponyombo, atapela omeva. Ame andyimuti: ‘Nwise-po-vo.’+ 46 Liwa-liwa, ayendeleka omulindi wae, ati: ‘Nwa-ko,+ nomakamelu ove mandyietapelela omaande anwe.’ Andyinu, atapelela omaande omakamelu ange. 47 Ame andyimupulu okuti: ‘Ho olie nkhelo?’ ngwe akumbulula okuti: ‘Ndyimona wa Mbetwele, Mbetwele omona wa Milika vatyita na Naole.’ Okutyiiva otyo, andyimupake ombilingu keyulu, novinunga vivali komavoko.+ 48 Andyilipetamena, okufenda Siovaa, andyihilivika Siovaa, Huku ya tatekulu yange Ambalayau,+ wampha ondyila yaviuka opo ndyikapole omufikwena kombunga ya tatekulu yange manepwa nomona wae. 49 Pahe mphopilei ine mamulingi olwembia olunene tatekulu yange, amumutavela; ine kamuhande, tupu tyimphopilei ndyikoye-po etyi mandyilingi.”*+

50 Lambau na Mbetwele avakumbulula ñgaa: “Otyo atyiho tyatunda ku Siovaa. Onthwe katupondola okutyitavela, nii okutyaanya.* 51 Lembeka oyou. Mupola-po, enda nae, akakale omukai womona wa tatekulu yove, ngeetyi Siovaa apopia.” 52 Etyi omuundapi wa Ambalayau eiva onondaka ombo, elipetamena okufenda Siovaa. 53 Omuundapi apolo opalata, no olu, novikutu, eviavela Lembeka; tupu aavela ovipuka oviwa omphange ya Lembeka, na ina. 54 Pahe oe-po na vana eya navo, avahimbika okulia nokunwa, avalala meumbo omo.

Komuhuka tyee, etyi vapindukapo, ati: “Ame pahe mandyikondoka keumbo lya tatekulu.” 55 Omphange ya Lembeka, na ina, avati: “Nkhele tukale nae ononthiki 10. Haa aende nawa.” 56 Ngwe evepopila okuti: “Hamumukalesa kuno ehimbwe, mokonda Siovaa wampha onomphai onongwa. Ndyekei ndyende ku tatekulu yange.” 57 Ngwe avati: “Twihane omufikwena watyo mwene tutehele kwe.” 58 Avaihana Lembeka avemupulu okuti: “Ove wahanda okwenda nomulume ou?” Ngwe akumbulula okuti: “Yoo, ndyihanda.”

59 Pahe avelilekela na Lembeka+ notyikeveyo tyae vaye*+ nomuundapi wa Ambalayau novalume aenda navo. 60 Avapeleyila oviwa Lembeka, avati: “Mphange yetu, linga ina yovana ovanyingi-nyingi vatuuka ovityita-novityita, ava vakatuka mwoove* vakatumine omapunda-umbo onondyale* mbavo.”+ 61 Lembeka novaundapi vae ovafikwena, avalongela, avavelama komakamelu avalandula omulume. Ngootyo omuundapi wa Ambalayau aende na Lembeka.

62 Pahe, Isake hono uli nokutundilila ko Mbeele-Laai-Loi+ uya, ngwe opo ukala motyilongo tyo Nengembe.+ 63 Isake watundile-po akaenda-enda momapia, komatango opo akasokolole.+ Tyina akati vala paku, omakamelu oyaa ekahi nokuya. 64 Ou tupu Lembeka, okuyumba omaiho, wati-ko vala paku, Isake oyou, liwa-liwa kekamelu atuluka-ko. 65 Apulu komuundapi okuti: “Omulume una utundilila mepia uya na kuno olie?” Omuundapi akumbulula okuti: “O tatekulu yange.” Apolo otyinyanga tyae elifiki komutwe. 66 Omuundapi apopila Isake atyiho etyi alinga. 67 Isake atwala Lembeka mekaka mwakalaile komanthia ae, Sala.+ Emutambula akala omukai wae; emufweve unene,+ namphila asiwa-po na ina omutima wae autulu.+
