UJakobe wayesehamba ngohambo lwakhe, wafika ezweni labantu basempumalanga.
Wabheka, kwakukhona umthombo endle, bheka, nanso imihlambi emithathu yezimvu ilele ngakuwo; ngoba kulowo mthombo baphuzisa umhlambi, futhi kwakukhona itshe elikhulu emlonyeni womthombo.
Kwabuthana khona yonke imihlambi, bagingqe itshe lisuke emlonyeni womthombo, baphuzise izimvu, balibuyisele itshe emlonyeni womthombo endaweni yalo.
UJakobe wathi kubo: “Bafowethu, nivelaphi na?” Futhi bathi: Sivela eHarana.
Wathi kubo: “Niyamazi uLabani indodana kaNahori na?” Bathi: “Siyamazi.”
Wathi kubo: “Usaphilile na?” Base bethi: “Uyaphila; bheka, uRaheli indodakazi yakhe uyeza nezimvu.”
Futhi wathi: Bheka, kusesemini, futhi akukabi yisikhathi sokuba kuqoqwe izinkomo; phuzisa izimvu, uziluse.
Bathi: “Asinakukwazi, ingakabuthwa yonke imihlambi, baze bagingqe itshe lisuke emlonyeni womthombo; bese siphuzisa izimvu.
Esakhuluma nabo, uRaheli wafika nezimvu zikayise, ngokuba wayezelusa.
Kwathi uJakobe ebona uRaheli indodakazi kaLabani, umfowabo kanina, nezimvu zikaLabani umfowabo kanina, uJakobe wasondela, wagingqa itshe walisusa emlonyeni womthombo, wazivumela izimvu zikaLabani, umfowabo kanina. Nika amanzi.
UJakobe wamanga uRaheli, waphakamisa izwi lakhe, wakhala.
UJakobe wamtshela uRaheli ukuthi ungumfowabo kayise nokuthi uyindodana kaRebeka; wagijima watshela uyise.
ULabani esezwile umbiko kaJakobe indodana kadadewabo, wagijima ukumhlangabeza, wamgona, wamanga, wamngenisa endlini yakhe. Wamtshela uLabani zonke lezi zinto.
ULabani wathi kuye: “Ngempela, uyithambo lami nenyama yami.” Wahlala naye inyanga yonke.
