25 Musi Rahele o no beba Yosefa, Yakobo a amba na Labani a ri: “Nnditshe ndi ṱuwe ndi ye hayani ha hashu na shangoni ḽa hashu.+ 26 Mphe vhafumakadzi vhanga na vhananga, vhe nda vha shumela uri ndi ṱuwe, ngauri u a ḓivha uri ndo u shumela.”+ 27 Labani a amba nae a ri: “Arali wo nndavhelesa nga vhuthu, ndo vhona zwiga zwe zwa ntsumbedza uri Yehova u khou mphaṱhutshedza nga nṱhani ha iwe.” 28 A dovha a ri: “Mmbudze malamba ane wa a ṱoḓa, ndi ḓo u ṋea.”+ 29 Yakobo a ri: “U a zwi ḓivha uri ndo u shumela vhukuma na nḓila ye sambi ḽau ḽa engedzea ngayo ḽi na nṋe;+ 30 wo vha u na zwiṱuku musi ndi tshi swika, fhedzi sambi ḽau ḽo engedzea ḽa anda, Yehova o u fhaṱutshedza u bva tshee nda swika. Zwino muṱa wanga ndi ḓo u shumela lini?”+

31 Labani a ri: “Ndi u ṋee mini?” Yakobo a fhindula a ri: “U songo nṋea tshithu! Arali wa nnyitela tshithu tshithihi fhedzi, ndi ḓo bvela phanḓa ndi tshi lisa sambi ḽau na u ḽi ṱhogomela.+ 32 Ndi ḓo ya sambini ḽau ḽoṱhe ṋamusi. Iwe u nange nngu dzoṱhe dza mavhala na dzoṱhe dza buraweni vhukati ha ngwana dza nduna na mbudzi dza tsadzi. U bva zwino zwenezwi zwi tea u vha malamba anga.+ 33 Zwivhuya* zwanga zwi ḓo nṱanzielela musi u tshi ḓa u sedza malamba anga; arali wa wana ndi na mbudzi i si na mavhala vhukati ha mbudzi dza tsadzi na dza buraweni vhukati ha ngwana dza nduna ndi ḓo vha ndo tswa.”

34 Labani a ri: “Zwo luga! Nga zwi vhe nga u ralo.”+ 35 Nga ḽeneḽo ḓuvha Labani a nanga mbudzi dza nduna dzi re na mavhala na dza tsadzi dzi re na mavhala, tshena na dza buraweni dzi re vhukati ha ngwana dza nduna a dzi ṋea vharwa vhawe uri vha dzi ṱhogomele. 36 Nga murahu ha zwenezwo, a fara lwendo lwa maḓuvha mararu, Yakobo a sala a tshi khou lisa masambi a Labani o salaho.

37 Yakobo a dzhia matavhi maṋu a muri wa musiterokisi, wa mualimondo na wa muṋengeledzi a swarula makwati khayo ha vhonala thanda tshena. 38 Matavhi e a a swarula a a vhea phanḓa ha sambi mikungwani ya maḓi, hune masambi a ḓo ḓa a nwa hone, uri a hwelwe* phanḓa ha eneo matavhi musi a tshi ḓa u nwa maḓi.

39 Masambi a hwelwa* henefho phanḓa ha matavhi, a dzwala dzine dza vha na mavhala. 40 Yakobo a nanga ngwana dza nduna, a ita uri masambi a lavhelese dzi re na mavhala na dzoṱhe dza buraweni vhukati ha masambi a Labani. A nanga masambi awe, a si a ṱanganyise na a Labani. 41 Musi a tshi vhona zwifuwo zwo khwaṱhaho zwi tshi hwelwa,* Yakobo o vha a tshi vhea matavhi phanḓa ha masambi uri zwi hwelane* phanḓa ha matavhi. 42 Fhedzi musi hu zwifuwo zwi si na nungo, o vha a sa vhei matavhi henefho. Zwi si na nungo zwo vha zwi tshi vha zwa Labani, fhedzi zwo khwaṱhaho zwo vha zwi tshi vha zwa Yakobo.+

43 Yakobo a pfuma vhukuma, a vha na masambi mahulwane na vhashumeli vha vhanna na vha vhafumakadzi na gamela na donngi.+
