Ingelosi kaYehova yadibana noYakobi
1Wemka ke uYakobi, zaqubisana naye izithunywa zikaThixo. 2Wabona uYakobi, wathi, Ngawo la amatyala kaThixo; wathi igama laloo ndawo yiMahanayim. 3uYakobi wathuma abathunywa phambi kwakhe kuEsawu, umkhuluwa wakhe, ezweni lakwaSehire, ezweni lakwaEdom. 4Wabawisela umthetho, wathi, Thethani kuEsawu, nkosi yam; Wathi umkhonzi wakho uYakobi, Bendingumphambukeli kuLabhan, ndahlala khona kwada kwangoku. 5Ndineenkomo namaesile, nempahla emfutshane, nabakhonzi, nabakhonzazana; ndithumele ukuxelela inkosi yam loo mazwi, ukuze ndibabalwe emehlweni akho. 6Babuyela abathunywa kuYakobi, bathi, Sifikile kumkhuluwa wakho uEsawu, naye uze kukukhawulela, enamadoda angamakhulu omane. 7Woyika kunene uYakobi, wawahlula amadoda lawo, nempahla emfutshane, neenkomo, neenkamela; 8Wathi, Ukuba uEsawu uthe wafika kwenye isihlwele, wasichitha, abanye abantu bosinda. 9Wathi uYakobi, Thixo kabawo uAbraham, Thixo kabawo uIsake, uYehova uthe kum, Buyela ezweni lakho, nasendlwini yakho, ndikwenzele okulungileyo. 10Andiyilingene yonke inceba, nenyaniso yonke oyenzileyo kumkhonzi wakho; ngenxa enokuba ndayiwela le Yordan, ndinentonga yam; kwaye ngoku ndingamaqela amabini. 11Ndisindise esandleni somkhuluwa wam, esandleni sikaEsawu; ngokuba ndiyamoyika, hleze afike andibethe, nomama ndawonye nabantwana. 12Wathi, Ewe, ndiya kukuphatha kakuhle, imbewu yakho ndiyenze ibe njengentlabathi yolwandle, engenakubalwa ngenxa yenani layo. 13Walala khona ngobo busuku; wathi ngoonyana bakhe uEsawu wamnika ukuba abe ngumnikelo; 14namakhulu amabini eebhokhwe, namashumi amabini eebhokhwe, namakhulu amabini eegusha, namashumi amabini eenkunzi zeegusha; 15iinkamela ezanyayo ezimashumi mathathu, namaxhaka azo, iimazi zeenkomo ezimashumi mane, neenkunzi zeenkomo ezilishumi, namaesile amashumi mabini, namaxhaka alishumi. 16Wazinikela esandleni sabakhonzi bakhe, umhlambi walowo wamnye; Wathi kubakhonzi bakhe, Phumani phambi kwam, nimise phakathi komhlambi weegusha nempahla emfutshane. 17Wabawisela umthetho abathetheli, wathi, Xa uEsawu umkhuluwa wam waqubisana nani, wabuza wathi, Ungokabani na? uyaphi? yekabani na le nto iphambi kwakho? 18uthi, Leyomkhonzi wakho uYakobi; zisisipho esithunyelwe kukumkani wam uEsawu, nanko ke naye ngasemva kwethu. 19Ngoko wayalela owesibini nowesithathu nabo bonke abo babelandela umhlambi, esithi: “Nitsho kuEsawu nakufumanana naye. 20Nanko mkhonzi wakho uYakobi engasemva kwethu. Kuba wathi, Mandimcamagushele ngomnikelo osingwayo kuqala, ndize kamva ndibubone ubuso bakhe; mhlawumbi uya kundamkela. 21Saphuma ke isipho phambi kwakhe, walala phakathi kweqela elo. 22Wavuka ngobo busuku, wathabatha abafazi bakhe bobabini, nabakhonzazana bakhe bobabini noonyana bakhe abalishumi elinamnye, wayiwela intili yeYabhoko; 23Wabathabatha, wabaseza umlambo, wazithumela nezo abenazo. 24uYakobi wasala yedwa; Yazamana indoda naye kwada kwasa. 25Yabona ukuba ayimeyisi, yachukumisa umlambo womlambo wakhe; Yatshona ingcambu yesinqe sikaYakobi ngokuzamana kwakhe naye. 26Wathi, Ndilinde, kuba ilanga liyaphuma. Wathi: Andikukhulula, awukandisikelele. 27Yathi kuye, Ungubani na igama lakho? Wathi, Yakobi! 28Wathi, Igama lakho akusayi kuba sathiwa nguYakobi; 29Wabuza uYakobi wathi, Ndixelele igama lakho. Wathi ke yena, Yini na ukuba ulibuze igama lam? wamsikelela khona. 30uYakobi wathi loo ndawo yiPeniyeli; ngokuba ndibonene noThixo, wahlangulwa umphefumlo wam. 31Uthe akudlula ePniel, lakhanya ilanga phezu kwakhe, wema esinqeni sakhe. 32Kungenxa yoko le nto oonyana bakaSirayeli bengasidli isihlunu esisethangeni loMlambo umNayile de kube namhla, ngenxa yokuba wachukumisa ithambo lomlenze kaYakobi emsipheni owomileyo.
