1Ke kaloku akubona uRakeli ukuba akamzaleli mntwana uYakobi, uRakeli wammonela udade wabo. Wathi kuYakobi, Ndinike abantwana bam, hleze ndife. 2uYakobi wavutha ngumsindo kuRakeli, wathi, Ndisesikhundleni sikaThixo na, owasitshabalalisayo isiqhamo sesizalo sikanyoko? 3Wathi, Khangela, uBhiliha, umkhonzazana wam, ungene kuye; kwaye uya kuzala emathangeni am, ukuze ndibe nabantwana kunye naye. 4Wamnika ke uBhiliha, umkhonzazana wakhe, ukuba abe ngumfazi wakhe; uYakobi wamngena. 5Wamitha uBhiliha, wamzalela uYakobi unyana. 6Wathi uRakeli, uThixo undikhokele, waliva izwi lam, wandinika unyana; Yiyo loo nto embiza ngokuba nguDan. 7Wabuya wamitha uBhiliha, umkhonzazana kaRakeli, wamzalela uYakobi unyana wesibini. 8Wathi uRakeli, Ndalwa nodade wethu emfazweni enkulu, ndamoyisa, wathi igama layo nguNafetali. 9Ke kaloku wabona uLeya ukuba uyazala, wathabatha uSilpa, umkhonzazana wakhe, wamnika uYakobi ukuba abe ngumfazi wakhe. 10uZilipa, umkhonzazana kaLeya, wamzalela uYakobi unyana. 11Wathi uLeya, Kweza iqela labantu, kwathiwa igama lakhe nguGadi. 12uZilipa, umkhonzazana kaLeya, wamzalela uYakobi unyana wesibini. 13Wathi uLeya, Ndinoyolo, ngokuba iintombi zam ziya kuthi ndinoyolo; wamthiya igama elinguAshere. 14Ngelo xesha uRubhen ngemihla yokuvunwa kwengqolowa wafumana imithuma entsimini wayisa kuLeya unina. Wathi uRakeli kuLeya, Ndinike ama-apile onyana wakho. 15Wathi kuye, Yinto encinane na ukuyithabatha indoda yam? kwaye nawe ufuna ukususa ama-apile othando kunyana wam? Wathi uRakeli, Kungenxa yoko le nto úya kulala nawe ngobu busuku, ngenxa yama-apile onyana wakho. 16Wafika uYakobi evela ezindle ngokuhlwa, waphuma uLeya esiya kumkhawulela, wathi, Uze undingene; kuba ndikunyule ngegazi lonyana wam. Walala naye ngobo busuku. 17uThixo wamphulaphula uLeya, wamitha, wazala unyana wesihlanu kaYakobi. 18Wathi uLeya, uThixo undinikile umvuzo wam, ngenxa yokuba indoda yam ndiyinike umkhonzazana wam; wamthiya igama elinguIsakare. 19Wabuya wamitha uLeya, wamzalela uYakobi unyana wesithandathu. 20Wathi uLeya, uThixo undiphe isipho esilungileyo; ngoku indoda yam iya kuhlala nam, kuba ndiyizalele oonyana abathandathu; wamthiya igama elinguZebhulon. 21Emva koko wazala intombi waza wayithiya igama elinguDina. 22uThixo wamkhumbula uRakeli, uThixo wamphulaphula, wasivula isizalo sakhe. 23Wamitha, wazala unyana; Wathi, uThixo ulisusile ihlazo lam. 24Wamthiya igama elinguYosefu; Wathi, uYehova makongezelele omnye unyana. 25Kwathi, akuba ezelwe uYosefu, wathi uYakobi kuLabhan, Ndindulule ndigoduke ezweni lakowethu. 26Ndinike abafazi bam nabantwana bam endikukhonze ngenxa yabo, ndihambe; ngokuba wena uyayazi inkonzo yam endikukhonze ngayo. 27Wathi uLabhan kuye, Ukuba ndibonise inceba emehlweni akho, hlala; ngokuba ndiyazi ukuba uYehova undisikelele ngenxa yakho. 28Wathi, Ndinyulele umvuzo wenu, ndininike wona. 29Wathi kuye, Uyalwazi nawe uhlobo ebendikukhonze ngalo, nohlobo lokuhlala kwempahla yakho emfutshane kum. 30Ngokuba ubunayo ndingekafiki yabe imbalwa, ngoku izazekile yaninzi; yaye uYehova ukusikelele ukususela ekufikeni kwam; ngoku ndoyihoya nini indlu yam? 31Wathi, Ndikunike ntoni na? Wathi uYakobi, Musa ukundinika nento le; ukuba uyathanda ukundenzela oko, ndobuya ndaluse, ndixhele umhlambi wakho. 32Ndiya kucanda namhlanje phakathi kwemihlambi yakho yonke, ndikhethe khona zonke iinkomo neemazi zonke, neemazi zonke ezimdaka phakathi kweegusha neebhokhwe; kwaye lo uya kuba ngumvuzo wam. 33Kuba ubulungisa bam buya kundiphendula ngemihla ezayo, xa ndiza kuwufumana umvuzo wam phambi kobuso bakho: onke atyetyisiweyo, namfutshane phakathi kweebhokhwe, naphakathi kweegusha, kuthiwe abiwe kum. 34Wathi uLabhan, Yabona, makube ngokwelizwi lakho oko. 35Wazinyula ngaloo mini zonke izikhova ezingwevu nezingwevu, zonke izikhova ezingwevu nezingwevu, nazo zonke ezimhlophe phakathi kwazo, nezona zimfutshane phakathi kwezimvu, wazibeka esandleni soonyana bakhe. 36Wamisa uhambo lweentsuku ezintathu phakathi kwakhe noYakobi; uYakobi walusa eseleyo ke impahla emfutshane kaLabhan. 37uYakobi wathabatha iintonga zompopulari omanzi, nezomnquma, nezompleyini; waza wawuzalisa ngeentambo ezimhlophe, waza wabangela ukuba kubonakale ubumhlophe obabukwilaphu. 38Wazibeka ezityeni zokusela xa impahla emfutshane isiza kusela, phambi kwempahla emfutshane, phambi kwempahla emfutshane, ukuba imithi, ekuseleni kwayo, phambi kwempahla emfutshane. 39Wamitha umhlambi weenkomo phambi kwesibonda, wazala iimazi zeenkomo ezityebileyo, ezigudileyo, ezigudileyo. 40Wawahlula uYakobi amatakane lawo, wabukhangelisa ubuso bempahla emfutshane kwenemizila, nemdaka phakathi kwempahla emfutshane kaLabhan; wayibeka ecaleni impahla yakhe emfutshane, akayibeka empahleni emfutshane kaLabhan. 41Kwathi, xa zimithiyo iimazi ezomeleleyo, uYakobi wabeka imbewu emhlabeni phambi kweemazi ezilapho emijelweni, ukuze zime phakathi kweentsuba. 42Ukuba imbalwa impahla emfutshane, makangàzisi; Kwaba njalo ke koswele amandla kaLabhan, nakokomelela kukaYakobi. 43Yanda loo ndoda yanda kunene, yaba nemfuyo eninzi, nabakhonzazana, nabakhonzi, neenkamela, namaesile.
