UGenesise 33
1UJakobe waphakamisa amehlo akhe, wabona, nango u-Esawu eza enamadoda angamakhulu amane. Abantwana wabahlukanisela uLeya noRaheli nezincekukazi zombili.
2Wabeka izincekukazi nabantwana bazo ngaphambili, uLeya nabantwana bakhe ngemuva, noRaheli noJosefa ngemuva.
3Wasedlula phambi kwabo wakhothamela emhlabathini kasikhombisa waze wasondela kumfowabo.
4U-Esawu wagijima ukumhlangabeza, wamgona, wawa entanyeni yakhe, wamanga; basebekhala.
5Waphakamisa amehlo akhe, wabona abesifazane nabantwana; wathi: Ngubani lo okuwe? Wathi: “Abantwana uNkulunkulu ayiphe inceku yakho ngomusa wakho.”
6Zase zisondela izincekukazi, zona nabantwana bazo, zakhothama.
7ULeya nabantwana bakhe basondela, bakhothama; ngemva kwalokho uJosefa noRaheli basondela, bakhothama.
8Wathi: “Uthini ngazo zonke lezi zinkomo engihlangane nazo na?” Wathi: “Bayakufumana umusa emehlweni enkosi yami.”
9Wayesethi u-Esawu: “Nginokuningi, mfowethu; gcina lokho onakho kuwe.
10Wathi uJakobe: “Qha, uma ngifumene umusa emehlweni akho, thatha isipho sami esandleni sami; ngoba ngalokho ngibone ubuso bakho kungathi ngibonile ubuso bukaNkulunkulu, wathokoza ngami.
11Thathani isibusiso sami esilethwa kini; ngokuba uNkulunkulu ungenzele umusa, nangenxa yokuthi nginokuningi. Wamncenga, wakwamukela.
12Wathi: “Masihambe, sihambe, ngiyakuphuma phambi kwakho.”
13Wathi kuye: “Inkosi yami iyazi ukuthi abantwana bathambile, nokuthi izimvu nezinkomo kanye nezimvu zikimi;
14Inkosi yami mayiwele phambi kwenceku yayo, mina-ke ngiyakuhamba kahle njengezinkomo eziwela phambi kwami, ngibekezele abantwana, ngize ngifike enkosini yami eSeyiri.
15Wathi u-Esawu: “Ake ngishiye abanye abantu abanami nawe.” Wasesithi: Lidingani? mangithole umusa emehlweni enkosi yami.
16Ngakho u-Esawu wabuya ngalolo suku ngendlela yakhe eya eSeyiri.
17UJakobe wasuka waya eSukoti, wazakhela indlu, wenzela izinkomo zakhe amadokodo; ngalokho igama laleyo ndawo lathiwa iSukoti.
18UJakobe wafika eSalema, umuzi wakwaShekemi, osezweni laseKhanani, ekuphumeni kwakhe ePhadani Aramu; wamisa itende lakhe phambi komuzi.
19Wathenga isiqephu sezwe lapho agxumeka khona itende lakhe esandleni sabantwana bakwaHemori uyise kaShekemi ngezinhlamvu eziyikhulu zemali.
20Wamisa khona i-altare, walibiza ngokuthi i-Elohe-Israyeli.
