29 Pa numa Yakobo alimine alaya ku calo ca bena Kabanga.+ 2 Awe aliloleshe, kabili moneni mwali icishima mu mpanga na mabumba yatatu aya mpaanga ishalele mupepi ne cishima, pantu muli cilya cishima e mo balenwensesha imikuni;+ na pa kanwa ka cishima pali ilibwe ilikulu.+ 3 Ilyo imikuni yonse yalongene palya, bakunkulwishe ilibwe ukufuma pa kanwa ka cishima, no kunwensha imikuni, na pa numa babwekeshe ilibwe pa kanwa ka cishima apo liikala.
4 E ico Yakobo abepwishe ati: “Bamunyinane, muli ba kwi?” na bo batile: “Tuli ba ku Harani.”+ 5 E lyo atile: “Bushe mwalimwishiba Labani+ umwishikulu wa kwa Nahore?”+ na bo batile: “Twalimwishiba.” 6 Kabili abepwishe ukuti: “Bushe ali umutende?”+ Batile: “Ali umutende. Na Rakele+ umwana wakwe umwanakashi ulya aleisa ne mpaanga!”+ 7 Kabili atile: “Moneni, akasuba kacili takalawa. Te nshita ya kulonganika imikuni. Nwensheni impaanga, no kuya ku kushiliisha.”+ 8 Na bo batile: “Tatwasuminishiwa ukucita ifyo kano imikuni yonse yalonganikwa kabili bakunkulusha ne libwe ukufuma pa kanwa ka cishima. E lyo tulenwensha impaanga.”
9 Ilyo acili alelanda na bo, Rakele+ aisa ne mpaanga sha kwa wishi, pantu ali ni kacema.+ 10 Kabili ilyo Yakobo amwene Rakele umwana mwanakashi wa kwa Labani ndume ya kwa nyina ne mpaanga sha kwa Labani ndume ya kwa nyina, apo pene Yakobo apalemeko no kukunkulusha ilibwe ukufuma pa kanwa ka cishima no kunwensha impaanga sha kwa Labani ndume ya kwa nyina.+ 11 E lyo Yakobo afyompele+ Rakele asanswile ne shiwi lyakwe no kulila ifilamba.+ 12 Kabili Yakobo atendeke ukulondolwela Rakele ukuti mwipwa wa kwa wishi+ kabili mwana wa kwa Rebeka. Na o alibutwike no kuyaeba wishi.+
13 Nomba ilyo fye Labani aumfwile pali Yakobo umwana wa kwa nkashi yakwe, abutukile ku kumukumanya.+ E lyo amukumbatile no kumufyompa no kumutwala ku ng’anda yakwe.+ Na o atendeke ukushimikila Labani ifi fyonse. 14 Pa numa Labani amwebele ukuti: “Cine cine ni we ifupa lyandi kabili umunofu wandi.”+ Awe aikele nankwe umweshi umo uutuntulu.
15 E lyo Labani atile kuli Yakobo: “Bushe ni co uli mwipwa wandi+ e co ulemombela apa fye?+ Njeba, amalipilo ayo ulefwaya.”+ 16 Nomba Labani ali na bana banakashi babili. Ishina lya mukalamba ni Leya+ ne shina lya mwaice ni Rakele. 17 Amenso ya kwa Leya yali ayanaka, lelo Rakele+ ali uwayemba umubili kabili uwayemba ukumoneka.+ 18 Nomba Yakobo atemenwe Rakele. E ico atile: “Nasumina ukumubombela imyaka cinelubali (7) pali Rakele umwana wenu umwaice.”+ 19 Na o Labani atile: “Cawama ukumuufya kuli iwe ukucila ukumuufya ku muntu umbi.+ Ikala na ine.” 20 Awe Yakobo abombele imyaka cinelubali (7) pali Rakele,+ lelo iyi myaka mu menso yakwe yali fye nge nshiku ishinono pa mulandu wa kumutemwa.+
21 E lyo Yakobo atile kuli Labani: “Mpeeleni umukashi wandi, pantu nashikumana inshiku shandi, no kuleka nkumane nankwe.”+ 22 Awe Labani alongenye abantu bonse aba palya pantu no kucita umutebeto.+ 23 Lelo icungulo abuulile Leya umwana mwanakashi wakwe no kumutwala ukuti akumane nankwe. 24 Kabili, Labani apeele Silupa+ umubomfi wakwe umwanakashi kuli Leya umwana wakwe, ku kuba umubomfi wakwe. 25 Nomba ilyo bwacele ulucelo, asangile ukuti ni Leya! E ico atile kuli Labani: “Cinshi ici mwacita kuli ine? Bushe te pali Rakele nabombeele kuli imwe? Nga cinshi mwancenjesesha?”+ 26 Na o Labani atile: “Te fyo tucita kuno mwesu, ukuufya umwaice ilyo ibeli talilaupwa. 27 Usangalale+ sana pali uyu mwanakashi muli ishi nshiku shakwe cinelubali (7). Na pa numa ukapeelwa no mubiye ilyo ukamombela imyaka na imbi cinelubali.”+ 28 Awe Yakobo acitile ifyo fine afishishepo ukusangalala inshiku cinelubali (7) isha mwanakashi uyu, na pa numa Labani amupeele Rakele umwana wakwe umwanakashi ku kuba umukashi. 29 Kabili Labani apeele Bilha+ umubomfi wakwe umwanakashi kuli Rakele umwana wakwe ku kubo mubomfi wakwe.
30 Awe akumene na Rakele kabili atemenwe Rakele ukucila Leya,+ kabili abombeele Labani imyaka na imbi cinelubali (7).+ 31 Ilyo Yehova amwene ukuti Leya apatwa, amwiswilile ubufyashi,+ lelo Rakele ali ing’umba.+ 32 Awe Leya aliimite no kufyala umwana umwaume no kumwinika ati Rubene,+ pantu atile: “Ni co Yehova namona ubucushi bwandi,+ pantu umulume wandi nomba akantemwa.” 33 Na kabili aliimite no kufyala umwana umwaume, e lyo atile: “Ni co Yehova naumfwa,+ pantu nalipatilwe e co ampeelela no yu wine.” E ico amwinike ati Simeone.+ 34 Na kabili aliimite no kufyala umwana umwaume kabili atile: “Nomba uno muku umulume wandi akailunda kuli ine, pantu nimufyalila abana baume batatu.” E ico amwinike ati Lebi.+ 35 Na kabili aliimite no kufyala umwana umwaume kabili atile: “Uno muku ndetasha Yehova.” E ico amwinike ati Yuda.+ Na pa numa alekele ukufyala.
