“Ndiri kuona kuti baba enyu aacandipfariri hinga zvaaiita kare, asi Mwari wa baba angu aneni nguwa dzese. 6 Imwimwi munonyasa kuziya kuti ndakaseenzera baba enyu no simba rangu rese. 7 Baba enyu akaedza kundicengedza uye akacinja muripo wangu kagumi kese; asi Mwari aazi kutendera kuti andikuwadze. 8 Paaibhuya kuti: ‘Zvinyama zvino maara-maara zvicagara muripo wako,’ zvipfuyo zvese zvaibara zvino maara-maara; asi paaibhuya kuti: ‘Zvino mutaro-mutaro zvicagara muripo wako,’ zvipfuyo zvese zvaibara zvino mutaro-mutaro. 9 Ngokudaro, Mwari aindorumbwa ecitora zvipfuyo zva baba enyu ecindipasa. 10 Zuwa rimweni, zvipfuyo pazvaida kumemedzana, ndakarota mu hope ndoona kuti makoto-koto aimemedza zvipfuyo ainga ano mutaro-mutaro, maara-maara, uye makhamba-makhamba. 11 Pedzepo, ngirozi ya Mwari we zvirokwazvo yakandibvunza mu hope kuti: ‘Djakobo!’ Inini ndakadaira kuti: ‘Ndiri pano.’ 12 Iyona yakaenderera yeciti: ‘Ndapota, ringira uye ona kuti makoto-koto ari kumemedza zvipfuyo zvino mutaro-mutaro, maara-maara, uye makhamba-makhamba, ngokuti ndiri kuona zvese zvauri kuizirhwa na Rabhani. 13 Inini ndiri Mwari we zvirokwazvo we Bheteri, kuya kawakadzodza buwe rawakaimisa hinga ciedzuriro uye kawakandiitira mhiko. Parizvino, buda nokukasika mu nyika ino, uye hwirira ku nyika yawakabarirhwa.’”

14 Paakazwa izvi, Rakeri na Reiya akati: “Ticino nhaka here pa nyumba pa baba edu? 15 Aaripi kutiona hinga anhu e nyika imweni here? Ngokuti akatitengesa uye akapedza mare yese yaakatitengesa nayo. 16 Upfumi wese wakatorerhwa baba edu na Mwari nge wedu uye ngewe ana edu. Hino, itai zvese zvamabvunzwa na Mwari.”

17 Djakobo nokukasika wakapakidza ana ake no akadzi ake pa makamero, 18 uye wakaenda no zvipfuyo zvese, zvipfuyo zvainga zviri zvake no zvaainga aunganidza ku Padhani-arani, uye no upfumi wese waainga aunganidza, wakaenda kumba ka Izaki baba ake, ku nyika yo Kanani.

19 Rabhani paainga aenda koocinga ukuse we mabira, Rakeri wakaba zvidhori* zva baba ake. 20 Kusiya izvona, Djakobo wakacengedza Rabhani Muaramu, ngokuti wakaenda asikazi kumueneka. 21 Wakatiza no zviro zvaainga anazvo uye wakabira murambo we Eufrati.* Pedzepo wakaenda ku mutanha we matunhu we Giriyadhi. 22 Pa zuwa rocitatu, Rabhani wakabvunzwa kuti Djakobo wakatiza. 23 Hino, iyena wakatora hama dzake,* oteera Djakobo, uye mumasure me rhwendo re mazuwa manomwe, akamubata ku mutanha we matunhu we Giriyadhi. 24 Hino Mwari akadzipangidza mu hope cousiku kuna Rabhani Muaramu, omubvunza kuti: “Ngwarira zvaucabvunza Djakobo, azvinei kuti zvakanaka kana kuti zvakashata.”*

25 Ngokudaro, Rabhani wakakhwederera Djakobo, ngokuti Djakobo wainga agadzira tenda rake pa dunhu, uye Rabhani no hama dzake ainga awaka musasa wawo pa mutanha we matunhu we Giriyadhi. 26 Hino Rabhani wakabvunza Djakobo, eciti: “Zvinyi izvi zvawaita? Ngei wandicengedzera uye wotora ana angu hinga asungwa akatorhwa ku hondo? 27 Ngei watiza mucifise-fise, wondicengedza nge kutama kundieneka? Kudai wakandibvunza, inini ndaida kukueneka no mupfaro, teciemba ngoma, teciridza ngoma uye marudimbwa.* 28 Asi iwewe auzi kundipasa mukana we kupsvoda azukuru* angu uye ana angu. Iwewe waita zve upenzi. 29 Ndino simba re kukukuwadza, asi Mwari wa baba ako akandibvunza zuro cousiku, kuti: ‘Ngwarira zvaucabvunza Djakobo, azvinei kuti zvakanaka kana kuti zvakashata.’ 30 Inini ndinozviziya kuti waenda ngokuti wainga waano cisuwo ce nyumba ya baba ako, asi ngei waba anamwari angu?”

31 Djakobo wakadaira Rabhani kuti: “Ndaenda mucifise-fise ngokuti ndaithya, ndecirangarira kuti maizonditorera ana enyu nge cisimba.’ 32 Uya wamunoona ano anamwari enyu, ngaauraiwe. Nyasai kupsvaka pa zviro zvandinazvo hama dzedu dzecizviona, kana mukaona zviro zvenyu zvitorei.” Asi Djakobo wainga asikazvizii kuti Rakeri ndiye wainga aba zvidhorizvo. 33 Ngokudaro, Rabhani wakapinda mu tenda ra Djakobo, ra Reiya uye mu tenda re arandakadzi airi, asi aazi kuzviona. Hino wakabuda mu tenda ra Reiya uye wopinda mu tenda ra Rakeri. 34 Pa nguwa doko ii, Rakeri wainga atora zvidhori* zviya ozvikanda mu sesto ye anakadzi inosungirhwa pa kamero uye ozvigarira. Ngokudaro, Rabhani wakapsvaka mu tenda rese, asi aazi kuzviona. 35 Hino Rakeri wakabvunza baba ake kuti: “Musanditsamwire tenzi wangu, andikwanisi kumuka pamberi penyu ngokuti ndiri kumwedzi.” Ngokudaro, iyena wakarumbwa ecinyasa kupsvaka, asi aazi kuona zvidhorizvo.*

36 Ngokudaro, Djakobo wakanyangadzwa maningi uye wakatanga kureketera Rabhani. Djakobo wakabvunza Rabhani kuti: “Cinyi candakashaisha, uye citema cipi candakamuitirai kuti munditeere makanyangadzwa kudai? 37 Zvamapedza kupsvaka zviro zvenyu pakati pe zviro zvangu, cinyi camaona ce kumba kenyu? Cikandei apa pamberi pe hama dzangu no hama dzenyu, kuti awona atonge pakati pedu tiri airi. 38 Pa makore 20 ese aya andainga ndinemwi, mabira enyu no mbudzi dzenyu azvizi kumbosvodza uye andizi kumborhya ana e mabira pa zvipfuyo zvenyu. 39 Andizi kumbomuunzisirai cipfuyo cakarumwa no zvikara. Pacairumwa, inini ndini ndaiciripa. Kunyazi cipfuyo pacaibiwa usiku kana masikati, imwimwi maindiripisa. 40 Comasikati, ndaipiswa no zuwa, uye cousiku ndaitonhorhwa no mhepo; uye hope dzainditiza. 41 Ndakagara makore 20 pa nyumba penyu. Ndakamuseenzerai ke makore 14 kuti mundipase ana enyu airi, uye makore matanhatu kuti mundipase zvipfuyo zvenyu, asi makacinja muripo wangu kanokwana ka gumi. 42 Kudai Mwari wa baba angu, Mwari wa Abrahamu uye Mwari uya unothyiwa na Izaki wainga asiripi ku dii rangu, imwimwi maizondiendesa ndisina ciro. Mwari aona kutambudzika kangu uye kuseenza no simba ke nyara dzangu, ndiyo ndaa iyena akamungwadzai zuro cousiku.”

43 Hino Rabhani wakadaira Djakobo eciti: “Aya ndi ana angu, aya ndi azukuru angu, izvi i zvipfuyo zvangu, uye zvese zvauri kuona nge zvangu uye ngezve ana angu. Zvinyi zvakashata zvandingaaitira nyamasi no ku ana awo aakabara? 44 Parizvino, ngatiite citenderano inini na iwewe, citenderano ici cicagara upupuri pakati pangu newe.” 45 Ngokudaro, Djakobo wakatora buwe oriimisa kuti rigare ciedzuriro. 46 Hino Djakobo wakabvunza hama dzake kuti: “Nongerai mapuwe!” Awona akanongera mapuwe uye akaaunganidza. Mumasure mazvo, akarhyira pamusoro pe murhwi we mapuwewo. 47 Rabhani wakadainza murhwiwo kuti Jegari-sahadhuta,* asi Djakobo wakaudainza kuti Garedhi.*

48 Hino Rabhani wakati: “Murhwi uu we mapuwe wagara nyamasi upupuri kandiri newe.” Ndiyo ndaa wakadainzwa kuti Garedhi, 49 uye Mbuto ye Murindi, ngokuti iyena wakati: “Djehovha ngaarinde inini na iwewe patinonga tisikaonani. 50 Kana iwewe ukatanga kubata zvakashata ana angu, wowaka akadzi amweni kunza ke ana angu, kunyazi pasina anonga ecikuona, edzurira kuti Mwari ndiye mupupuri kandiri newe.” 51 Rabhani wakaenderera mberi ecibvunza Djakobo kuti: “Uri pano murhwi we mapuwe, uye buwe randaimisa hinga ciedzuriro pakati pangu newe. 52 Murhwi uu we mapuwe ndi upupuri, uye buwe iri re kuedzurira rinopasa upupuri wekuti andizodariki murhwi we mapuwe aya kuti ndikukuwadze uye kuti iwewe auzodariki murhwi we mapuwe aya, uye buwe iri re kuedzurira kuti undikuwadze. 53 Mwari wa Abrahamu uye Mwari wa Naori, Mwari wa baba awo, ngaatonge pakati pedu.” Djakobo wakapika na Mwari uya anothyiwa na Izaki baba ake.

54 Mumasure mazvo, Djakobo wakapasa cibairo pa dunhu uye wakapika hama dzake kuti arhye ari pamwepo. Hino awona akarhya uye akawata mu dunhu irona. 55 Asi Rabhani wakamuka comacibesi-besi, wopsvoda azukuru* ake no ana ake uye wakaakomborera. Pedzepo, Rabhani wakahwirira kumba kake.
