¹Zvino Jakove wakasimudza tsoka dzake, akaenda kunyika yevana vekumabvazuva.

¹Yacquubna sodcaalkiisii buu iska sii watay, oo wuxuu yimid dalkii reer bari.

²Zvino wakaona, tarira, tsime musango, zvino tarira ipapo, mapoka matatu emakwai avete pariri; nekuti patsime iri vaimwisa mapoka; paiva neibwe guru patsime iroro.

²Kolkaasuu wax fiiriyey, oo wuxuu arkay ceel berrinka ku dhex yaal, oo waxaa joogay saddex qaybood oo ido ah oo agtiisa jiifjiifa, maxaa yeelay, ceelkaasay idaha ka waraabin jireen. Dhagaxa ceelka afkiisa saarnaana aad buu u weynaa.

³Uye ndipapo paiungana mapoka ose; zvino vaikungurutsa ibwe kubva pamuromo wetsime, ndokumwisa makwai, vachidzosera ibwe pamuromo wetsime panzvimbo yaro.

³Oo halkaasaa idaha oo dhan lagu soo ururin jiray: kolkaasay dhagaxa ceelka afkiisa ka rogi jireen, oo idaha ka waraabin jireen, markaasay mar labaad dhagaxa ceelka afkiisa saari jireen oo ku celin jireen meeshiisii.

⁴Jakove ndokuti kwavari: Hama dza­ngu, munobvepi? Ivo ndokuti: Tinobva kuHarani.

⁴Markaasaa Yacquub ku yidhi, Walaalahayow, xaggaad ka timaadeen? Iyana waxay yidhaahdeen, Waxaannu ka nimid Haaraan.

⁵Zvino wakati kwavari: Munoziva here Ra­bhani mwanakomana waNahori? Ivo ndokuti: Tinomuziva.

⁵Markaasuu ku yidhi, Ma taqaaniin Laabaan oo ah ina Naaxoor? Markaasay ku yidhaahdeen, Waannu naqaan.

⁶Zvino wakati kwavari: Wakafara here? Ivo ndokuti: Wakafara; zvino tarira, Rakeri mukunda wake, unouya nemakwai.

⁶Markaasuu ku yidhi, Ma nabad qabaa? Iyana waxay yidhaahdeen, Haah, wuu nabad qabaa. Waa taas gabadhiisii Raaxeel idaha soo kaxaynaysa.

⁷Zvino wakati: Tarirai, achiri masikati ma­kuru, haisi nguva yekuti zvipfuwo zviunganidzwe; mwisai makwai, mugonoafudza.

⁷Oo wuxuu ku yidhi iyagii, Bal eega, weli waa maalin weyn, mana aha goortii xoolaha la soo wada ururin lahaa. Idaha waraabiya, oo kaxeeya oo daajiya.

⁸Zvino vakati: Hatingagoni kusvikira mapoka ose aunganidzwa, vagokungurusa ibwe pamuromo we­tsime; ndipo patichamwisa makwai.

⁸Iyana waxay yidhaahdeen, Ma yeeli karno taas, jeeray idoyowga oo dhammu isu yimaadaan, oo dhagaxa ceelka afkiisa laga rogo; markaasaannu idaha waraabinaynaa.

⁹Achiri kutaura navo, Rakeri wakasvika nemakwai ababa vake, nekuti waiva mufudzikadzi.

⁹Oo intuu weli la hadlayay ayaa Raaxeel keentay idihii aabbeheed, waayo, iyadaa ilaalin jirtay.

¹⁰Zvino zvakaitika Jako­bho achiona Rakeri mukunda waRabhani hanzvadzi yamai vake nemakwai aRabhani hanzvadzi yamai vake, kuti Jakove wakaswedera, akakungurutsa ibwe kubva pamu­romo wetsime, akamwisa makwai aRa­bhani, hanzvadzi yamai vake.

¹⁰Oo Yacquub markuu arkay Raaxeel oo ahayd gabadhii abtigiis Laabaan, iyo idihii abtigiis Laabaan, ayuu u dhowaaday, oo dhagaxii ka rogay ceelka afkiisa, oo uu waraabiyey idihii abtigiis Laabaan.

¹¹Jakove ndokutsvoda Rakeri, akasimudza inzwi rake akabudisa misodzi.

¹¹Markaasuu Yacquub Raaxeel dhunkaday, wuuna qayliyey oo ooyay.

¹²Jakove ndokuudza Rakeri kuti ihama yababa vake, uye kuti mwanakomana waRabheka, ndokumhanya, ndokuudza baba vake.

¹²Yacquubna wuxuu Raaxeel u sheegay inuu yahay aabbeheed xigaalkiis, oo uu yahay wiilkii Rebeqah; kolkaasay orodday oo u sheegtay aabbeheed.

¹³Zvino zvakaitika Rabhani anzwa ma­shoko aJakove mwanakomana wehanzvadzi yake, kuti wakamhanya kunomuchingamidza, ndokumumbundikira, ndokumutsvoda, ndokumuisa mumba make. Jakove ndokuudza Rabhani zvinhu izvo zvose.

¹³Oo Laabaan markuu maqlay warkii Yacquub oo ahaa wiilkii walaashiis ayuu ku orday inuu ka hor tago, markaasuu isku duubay, oo dhunkaday, oo uu gurigiisii keenay. Isna wuxuu Laabaan u sheegay waxyaalahan oo dhan.

¹⁴Rabhani ndokuti kwaari: Zvirokwazvo uri pfupa rangu nenyama yangu. Aka­gara naye mwedzi wose.

¹⁴Laabaanna wuxuu ku yidhi isagii, Hubaal waxaad tahay laftayda iyo jidhkayga. Wuxuuna la joogay isagii intii bil ah.

¹⁵Zvino Rabhani wakati kuna Jakove: Nekuti uri hama yangu, ungandibatira pachena here? Ndiudze kuti mubayiro wako uchava chii.

¹⁵Markaasaa Laabaan Yacquub ku yidhi, Walaalkayga aad tahay aawadeed ma habboon tahay inaad mushahaarola'aan iigu shaqaysid? Bal ii sheeg, mushahaaradaadu maxay ahaan doontaa?

¹⁶Zvino Rabhani wakange ane vakunda vaviri; zita remukuru rakange riri Rea, uye zita remuduku Rakeri.

¹⁶Laabaanna wuxuu lahaa laba gabdhood: midda weyn magaceedu wuxuu ahaa Lee'ah, tan yar magaceeduna wuxuu ahaa Raaxeel.

¹⁷Rea wakange ane meso akaneta, asi Rakeri wakange aka­naka kwazvo pachimiro nepachiso.

¹⁷Lee'ahna way indha darnayd, laakiinse Raaxeel way quruxsanayd, suurad wanaagsanna way lahayd.

¹⁸Zvino Jakove wakada Rakeri. Ndokuti: Ndichakubatirai makore manomwe pamusoro paRakeri, mukunda wenyu muduku.

¹⁸Yacquubna wuxuu jeclaa Raaxeel; markaasuu yidhi, Toddoba sannadood baan kuugu shaqayn gabadhaada yar oo Raaxeel ah.

¹⁹Rabhani ndokuti: Zviri nani kuti ndimupe kwauri pakuti ndimupe umwe murume; gara neni.

¹⁹Laabaanna wuxuu yidhi, Waa wanaagsan tahay inaan adiga ku siiyo intii aan iyada nin kale siin lahaa, ee ila joog.

²⁰Jakove ndokubatira Rakeri makore manomwe; asi akava pameso ake semazuva mashoma, nekuda kwekumuda kwake.

²⁰Yacquubna toddoba sannadood buu u shaqaynayay Raaxeel aawadeed; waxayna la ahaayeen maalmo yar, waana jacaylkii uu iyada u qabay aawadiis.

²¹Jakove ndokuti kuna Rabhani: Ndipei mukadzi wangu, nekuti mazuva angu azadzisika, kuti ndipinde kwaari.

²¹Yacquubna wuxuu Laabaan ku yidhi, Maalmahaygii way dhammaystirmeen; ee naagtayda i sii, si aan ugu tago iyada.

²²Rabhani ndokuunganidza vanhu vose venzvimbo iyo, ndokuita mabiko.

²²Markaasuu Laabaan soo ururiyey nimankii meeshaas joogay oo dhan, oo wuxuu sameeyey diyaafad.

²³Zvino zvakaitika madekwani, kuti wakatora Rea, mukunda wake, ndokumuisa kwaari; iye ndokupinda kwaari.

²³Oo waxay noqotay inuu fiidkii kaxeeyey gabadhiisii Lee'ah, oo uu u geeyey isagii; isna wuu u tegey iyadii.

²⁴Rabhani ndokupa kumukunda wake Rea Ziripa murandakadzi wake, ave mushandiri wake.

²⁴Laabaanna wuxuu gabadhiisii Lee'ah siiyey Silfah oo isaga addoon u ahayd inay iyada addoon u noqoto.

²⁵Zvino zvakaitika, kuti mangwanani, tarira, ndiRea; ndokuti kuna Rabhani: Chii ichi chamaita kwandiri? Handina kukubatirai pamusoro paRakeri here? Mandinyengedzererei?

²⁵Yacquubna wuxuu aroortii arkay inay tahay Lee'ah, oo wuxuu Laabaan ku yidhi, Waa maxay waxan aad igu samaysay? Miyaanan Raaxeel kuugu shaqaynayn? De maxaad haddaba ii khiyaanaysay?

²⁶Rabhani ndokuti: Hakunzarwo panzvimbo yekwedu kupa munin'ina kutangira dangwe.

²⁶Laabaanna wuxuu yidhi, Dhulkayaga sidaas laguma sameeyo in tan yar curadda la dhaafiyo.

²⁷Pedzisa vhiki yeuyu, tigokupa uyuwo pamusoro pebasa rauchabata nenizve mamwe makore manomwe.

²⁷Bal tan toddobaadkeeda dhammee, tan kalena waxaannu kugu siin doonnaa shuqulka aad toddoba sannadood oo kale ii shaqayn doontid.

²⁸Jakove ndokuita saizvozvo, ndokuzadzisa vhiki yeuyu; ndokupa kwaari Ra­keri, mukunda wake kuva mukadzi.

²⁸Yacquubna sidii buu yeelay, toddobaadkeediina wuu dhammeeyey. Markaasuu Laabaan Yacquub siiyey gabadhiisii Raaxeel inay naag u noqoto.

²⁹Rabhani ndokupa kuna Rakeri Bhiriha murandakadzi wake, ave murandakadzi kwaari.

²⁹Laabaanna wuxuu gabadhiisii Raaxeel siiyey Bilhah oo isaga addoon u ahayd inay iyada addoon u noqoto.

³⁰Jakove ndokupindawo kuna Rakeri, ndokudawo Rakeri kupfuura Rea, ndokubata pamwe naye mamwe makore manomwezve.

³⁰Oo Raaxeelna wuu u tegey, oo isna Raaxeel aad buu uga jeclaa Lee'ah, toddoba sannadood oo kalena wuu u shaqeeyey isaga.

³¹Kuzoti Jehovha aona kuti Rea waivengwa, wakazarura chibereko chake, asi Rakeri waiva mhanje.

³¹Rabbiguna wuxuu arkay in Lee'ah la nebcaaday, markaasuu maxalkeedii furay; laakiinse Raaxeel waxay ahayd madhalays.

³²Rea ndokubata mimba, ndokubereka mwanakomana, ndokutumidza zita rake kuti Ru­bheni, nekuti wakati: Jehovha wakaona dambudziko rangu; naizvozvo ikozvino murume wangu uchandida.

³²Lee'ahna way uuraysatay, oo waxay dhashay wiil, magiciisiina waxay u bixisay Ruubeen, oo waxay tidhi, Sababtu waxaa weeye inuu Rabbigu dhibaatadayda arkay, oo haatan ninkaygu wuu i jeclaan doonaa.

³³Akabata mimbazve, ndokubereka mwanakomana, ndokuti: Nekuti Jehovha wanzwa kuti ndinovengwa, naizvozvo wandipawo uyu; ndokutumidza zita rake kuti Simioni.

³³Oo haddana way uuraysatay mar labaad, waxayna dhashay wiil, oo waxay tidhi, Rabbigu waa maqlay in lay nebcaaday, oo haddaba taas aawadeed ayuu ii siiyey wiilkanna; magiciisiina waxay u bixisay Simecoon.

³⁴Akabata mimbazve, ndokubereka mwanakomana, ndokuti: Ikozvino nguva ino murume wangu achazvibatanidza neni, nekuti ndamuberekera vanakomana vatatu; naizvozvo zita rake rakanzi Revhi.

³⁴Oo haddana mar kalay uuraysatay, oo waxay dhashay wiil, waxayna tidhi, Haatan ninkayga ayaa ila jiri doona, maxaa yeelay, saddex wiil baan u dhalay isaga; sidaas daraaddeed magiciisii waxaa loo bixiyey Laawi.Oo haddana way uuraysatay, oo waxay dhashay wiil; oo waxay tidhi, Haatan Rabbigaan ammaani, sidaas daraaddeed waxay magiciisii u bixisay Yahuudah; wayna dhalmo daysay.

³⁵Zvino wakabata mimbazve, akabereka mwanakomana, ndokuti: Nenguva ino ndicharumbidza Jehovha; naizvozvo wakamutumidza zita rake kuti Judha; aka­mira kubereka.

³⁵Oo haddana way uuraysatay, oo waxay dhashay wiil; oo waxay tidhi, Haatan Rabbigaan ammaani, sidaas daraaddeed waxay magiciisii u bixisay Yahuudah; wayna dhalmo daysay.
