Zvino Rabheka akatora nguo dzakaisvonaka dzaEsau, mwanakomana wake mukuru, dzaaiva nadzo mumba, akadzifukidza Jakobho, mwanakomana wake muduku; akaisa nguo dzembudzana pamaoko ake, napamutsipa wake pakanga pasina mvere; akaisa nyama yakanaka nechingwa, zvaakanga agadzira, muruoko rwaJakobho, mwanakomana wake. Iye akaenda kuna baba vake, akati, “Baba vangu;” ivo vakati, “Ndiri pano hangu; ndiwe aniko mwana wangu?” Jakobho akati kuna baba vake, “Ndini Esau, dangwe renyu; ndaita sezvamandiraira; simukai henyu, mugare, mudye nyama yangu yemhuka, mweya wenyu undiropafadze.” Isaka akati kumwanakomana wake, “Wakurumidza seiko kuiwana, mwana wangu?” Iye akati, “Nokuti Jehovha, Mwari wenyu, waituma pamberi pangu.” Isaka akati kuna Jakobho, “Chimboswedera hako, ndikubate-bate, mwana wangu, kuti ndizive kuti uri mwanakomana wangu Esau chaiye, kana kuti hausi iwe.” Jakobho akaswedera kuna Isaka, baba vake; ivo vakamubatabata, vakati, “Izwi, izwi raJakobho, asi maoko maoko aEsau.” Asi haana kumuziva, nokuti maoko ake akanga aine mvere, samaoko omukuru wake Esau; akamuropafadza. Akati, “Ndiwe mwanakomana wangu Esau chaiye here?” Iye akati, “Ndini iye.” Akati, “Uiswededze pedyo neni, kuti ndidye nyama yemhuka yomwanakomana wangu, mweya wangu ukuropafadze.” Iye akaiswededza pedyo naye, akadya; akamupawo waini, akanwa. Ipapo baba vake Isaka vakati kwaari, “Swedera zvino unditsvode, mwana wangu.” Akaswedera, akamutsvoda; akanzwa munhuwi wenguo dzake, akamuropafadzwa, akati, “Tarira munhuwi womwanakomana wangu wakaita somunhuwi wesango rakaropafadzwa naJehovha; Mwari ngaakupe dova rokudenga, mafuta enyika, nezviyo newaini zvakawanda. Vanhu ngavakushumire, marudzi ose ngaakupfugamire; uve ishe wehama dzako, vanakomana vamai vako ngavakupfugamire; vose vanokutuka ngavatukwe, vose vanokuropafadza ngavaropafadzwe.” Zvino Isaka wakati apedza kuropafadza Jakobho, Jakobho achangobuda pamberi paIsaka baba vake, Esau mukoma wake, akapinda, achibva pakuvhima kwake. Naiye akagadzira nyama yakanaka, akaenda nayo kuna baba vake; akati kuna baba vake, “Baba vangu ngavasimuke, ngavadye nyama yemhuka yomwanakomana wavo, kuti mweya wenyu undiropafadze.” Ipapo Isaka baba vake vakati, “Ndiwe aniko?” Iye akati, “Ndini mwanakomana wenyu, dangwe renyu Esau.” Isaka akabvunda kwazvo-kwazvo, akati, “Ndianiko wakanga avhima mhuka, akauya nayo kwandiri ndikadya zvose, iwe usati wasvika, ndikamuropafadza? Hongu, zvirokwazvo iye acharopafadzwa hake.” Esau akati achinzwa mashoko ababa vake, akachema nokuchema kukuru kunorwadza mwoyo, akati kuna baba vake, “Ndiropafadzei neniwo, baba vangu!” Akati, “Mun'una wako wakauya nokunyengedzera, akatora kuropafadzwa kwako.” Iye akati, “Haana kutumidzwa zita rakamufanira here, rokuti Jakobho? Nokuti zvino wandinyengedzera kaviri; wambonditorera udangwe hwangu, zvino tarira, wanditorera kuropafadzwa kwangu.” Akati, “Hamuna kundichengeterawo kuropafadzwa here?” Isaka akapindura, akati kuna Esau, “Tarira, ndamuita ishe wako, nehama dzake dzose ndakamupa iye, kuti vave varanda vake; ndamusimbisa nezviyo newaini; zvino chinyiko chandingakuitira iwe, mwana wangu?” Esau akati kuna baba vake, “Munongova nokuropafadza kumwe kwoga here, baba vangu? Ndiropafadzei, neniwo, baba vangu!” Esau akachema nokuchema kukuru. Ipapo Isaka baba vake, akapindura akati kwaari, “Tarira, ugaro hwako uchava kure namafuta enyika, kure nedova rokudenga rinobva kumusoro; uchararama nomunondo wako, uchashumira mun'una wako; uchati kana wozvimutsa iwe, uchavhuna joko rake ribve pamutsipa wako.” Esau akavenga Jakobho nokuda kwokuropafadzwa kwaakaropafadzwa nako nababa vake; Esau akati mumwoyo make, “Mazuva okuchema baba vangu ava kuda kusvika; ipapo ndichauraya mun'una wangu Jakobho.” Zvino Rabheka akaudzwa mashoko aEsau, mwanakomana wake mukuru; akatuma munhu kundodana Jakobho, mwanakomana wake muduku, akati kwaari, “Tarira, mukoma wako Esau anozvivaraidza pamusoro pako, achiti achakuuraya. Saka zvino, mwana wangu, teerera izwi rangu; simuka utizire Harani kuna Rabhani hanzvadzi yangu; undogara kwaari mazuva mashomanana, kusvikira shungu dzomukoma wako dzanyarara; kusvikira kutsamwa kwomukoma wako kwanyarara kwauri, kana akanganwa izvo zvawamuitira. Ipapo ndichatuma munhu kuzokutora ikoko; ndichatorerwa seiko nomusi mumwe imi mose muri vaviri?” Rabheka akati kuna Isaka, “Ndanetswa noupenyu hwangu nokuda kwavakunda vaHeti; kana Jakobho akawanawo mukadzi kuvakunda vaHeti, wakaita saivava, kuvakunda venyika ino, upenyu hwangu ungandibatsirei?”
