34 Ngako Jakobe wadzabula timphahla takhe futsi wembatsa indvwangu yelisaka elukhalo, walilela indvodzana yakhe emalanga lamanyenti. 35 Onkhe emadvodzana nemadvodzakati akhe abesolo etama kumdvudvuta, kodvwa akazange awalalele nakamdvudvuta. Bekahlale atsi: “Ngitakuya eThuneni*+ solo ngililela indvodzana yami!” Jakobe wachubeka akhalela Josefa.

38 Nanobe kunjalo, Jakobe watsi: “Ngeke ngivume kutsi nihambe nalendvodzana yami, ngobe umnakabo wafa, ngako sengisele nayo nje kuphela.+ Nayingehlelwa yinhlekelele endleleni, nitawukwenta kutsi ngiye eThuneni*+ nginetinsizi ekugugeni kwami.”+
