14 Mpoonya Rakele a Leya bakamwiingula kuti: “Sena kuli caabilo cicisyeede ncotukonzya kukona muŋanda yabataata? 15 Sena inga tabatuboni buyo mbuli beenzu mbwaanga bakatusambala alimwi bali kwaabelesya mali aakabbadelelwa ndiswe?+ 16 Lubono loonse oolo Leza ndwaakabweza kuzwa kuli bataata ndulwesu abana besu.+ Aboobo kocita zyoonse Leza nzyaakwaambila.”+

17 Mpoonya Jakobo wakanyamuka akutansika bana abamakaintu bakwe ankamela,+ 18 alimwi wakatalika kubinga butanga bwakwe boonse azintu zyoonse nzyaakajana+ ku Padani-aramu, kutegwa aunke kuli Izaka usyi kunyika ya Kanana.+

19 Lino Labani naakaunkide kuyoogela mbelele zyakwe, Rakele wakabba mituni*+ yabausyi.+ 20 Kunze lyaboobo, Jakobo wakamucenjelela Labani muna Aramu, nkaambo tanaakamwaambila kuti ulaunka. 21 Aboobo wakatija, waakuzabuka Mulonga,*+ walo amukwasyi wakwe azintu zyoonse nzyaakajisi. Mpoonya wakagama kumalundu aaku Gileadi.+ 22 Lino mubuzuba bwatatu Labani wakaambilwa kuti Jakobo watija. 23 Aboobo wakabweza banabokwabo* akumutandila lweendo lwamazuba aali ciloba, eelyo bakamujana mumalundu aaku Gileadi. 24 Mpoonya masiku aayo, Leza wakaboola kuli Labani muna Aramu+ muciloto+ akumwaambila kuti: “Ucenjele kapati amakani ngotiimwaambile Jakobo, abe mabotu naa mabi.”+

25 Aboobo Labani wakasika kuli Jakobo, mbwaanga Jakobo wakaimikide tente lyakwe mumulundu eelyo Labani abanabokwabo bakaimika matente aabo mumalundu aaku Gileadi. 26 Kumane Labani wakati kuli Jakobo: “Ncinzi ncoocita? Ino nkaambo nzi ncoondicitila calweeno akubweza bana bangu mbuli kuti mbazike bakajatwa munkondo? 27 Ino nkaambo nzi ncoondicitila calweeno akuloboka kakunyina akundilaya? Ikuti nookandaambila kuti uyanda kuunka, notwakalayana cakusekelela akwiimba, akulizya nsakalala akantimbwa. 28 Pele tonookandipa aciindi cakumyonta bazyukulu* bangu abana bangu basimbi. Wacita cabufwubafwuba. 29 Ndilijisi nguzu zyakukucitila cibi, pele Leza wabauso wakaambaula andime jilo masiku, wakati, ‘Ucenjele kapati kumakani ngotiimwaambile Jakobo, abe mabotu naa mabi.’+ 30 Lino waunka nkaambo uliyandide kapati kupiluka kuŋanda yabauso, pele ino nkaambo nzi ncoobbida baleza bangu?”+

31 Jakobo wakaingula Labani kuti: “Nkaambo kakuti ndakayoowa, ndakayeeya kuti, ‘Ambweni ulandinyanga bana bako.’ 32 Kufwumbwa ngotiijane abaleza bako ulafwa. Kubusyu bwabantu besu, langaula muzintu zyangu, akubweza zintu zyako.” Pele Jakobo tanaakazyi kuti ngu Rakele wakababba. 33 Aboobo Labani wakanjila mutente lya Jakobo, tente lya Leya atente lyababelesi basimbi bobilo,+ pele tanaakabajana. Kumane wakazwa mutente lya Leya akunjila mutente lya Rakele. 34 Lino Rakele wakaibweza mituni akwiibikka mucikkalilo caankamela akwiikkalila. Aboobo Labani wakalangaula mutente lyoonse, pele tanaakabajana pe. 35 Mpoonya Rakele wakaambila bausyi kuti: “Mutanyemi simalelaangu akaambo kakuti tandikonzyi kunyamuka nkaambo ndili kucilengwa cabamakaintu.”*+ Aboobo wakazumanana kulangaula cakubikkila maano, pele tanaakaijana mituni pe.+

36 Mpoonya Jakobo wakanyema kapati akutalika kumutongooka Labani. Kumane Jakobo wakati kuli Labani: “Ino mulandu nzi ngundakacita, alimwi ncibi nzi ncindakabisya icapa kuti unditandile cabukali? 37 Mbwaanga lino walangaula muzintu zyangu zyoonse, ino ncintu nzi camuŋanda yako ncoojana? Cibikke aawa kumbele lyabantu bangu abanabokwanu, kutegwa bakosole makani akati kesu tobilo. 38 Myaka yoonse eeyi iili 20 njindali anduwe, mbelele ampongo zyako tiizyakali kusowa pe, alimwi kunyina nindakalya bagutu babutanga bwako.+ 39 Tiindakakuletela mbelele naa mpongo iyakalumwa munyama wamusyokwe.+ Ooyu wakali kuba mulandu wangu. Kufwumbwa iyakabbigwa masyikati naa masiku, wakali kundibbadelesya. 40 Masyikati lyakali kunduumpa zuba, masiku ndakali kwaandwa mpeyo alimwi ndakali kubula ŋonzi.+ 41 Ndakkala anduwe myaka iili 20 muŋanda yako. Ndakakubelekela myaka iili 14 kutegwa undipe bana bako, amyaka iili cisambomwe kandeembela butanga bwako, pele wakacinca-cinca zyakuvwola zyangu ziindi zili kkumi.+ 42 Ikuti naatali andime Leza wabataata,+ Leza wa Abrahamu alimwi a Leza ooyo Izaka ngwayoowa,+ nondaunka acinkwamaanza. Leza waabona mapenzi aangu amilimo njondabeleka amaanza aangu, alimwi nkakaambo kaako ncaakakusinsa jilo masiku.”+

43 Mpoonya Labani wakaingula Jakobo kuti: “Bamakaintu aaba mbana bangu, alimwi bana aaba mbazyukulu bangu abutanga oobu mbubwangu, alimwi zintu zyoonse eezyi nzyobwene nzizyangu alimwi nzyabana bangu mbokwete. Ncinzi ncondikonzya kucita kuli baaba sunu naa kubana aaba mbobakazyala? 44 Lino boola tupange cizuminano mebo anduwe, eelyo ciyooba kamboni akati kesu.” 45 Aboobo Jakobo wakabweza bbwe akuliimika kuti cibe ciibalusyo.+ 46 Mpoonya Jakobo wakaambila bantu bakwe kuti: “Amubweze mabwe!” Eelyo bakabwezelela mabwe akwaalundika. Kumane bakalida atala aamulwi wamabwe. 47 Mpoonya Labani wakaulika busena oobu kuti Jegara-sahaduta,* pele Jakobo wakabuulika kuti Galeeda.*

48 Kumane Labani wakati: “Mulwi wamabwe ooyu ngukamboni akati kandime anduwe sunu.” Nkakaambo kaako ncaakabuulika kuti Galeeda,+ 49 akuti Ngazi Yamulindizi, nkaambo Labani wakati: “Jehova azumanane kutulangilila twaandaana mebo anduwe. 50 Ikuti naa wabapenzya bana bangu alimwi akutalika kukwata bamakaintu bambi, nokuba kuti kunyina muntu uukonzya kubona, koyeeya kuti Leza uyooba kamboni akati kandime anduwe.” 51 Labani wakayaambele kwaambila Jakobo kuti: “Ngooyu mulwi wamabwe, alimwi nceeci ciibalusyo ncondaimika akati kandime anduwe. 52 Mulwi wamabwe ooyu ngukamboni, alyalo bbwe lyaciibalusyo eeli licitila bumboni+ bwakuti tandikawiindilili mulwi wamabwe ooyu kutegwa ndikucitile cibi, akuti ayebo tokawiindilili mulwi wamabwe ooyu alimwi abbwe lyaciibalusyo eeli kutegwa undilwane. 53 Leza wa Abrahamu,+ Leza wa Nahori a Leza wabausyi atubeteke.” Pele Jakobo wakakonkezya kuli Yooyo Izaka usyi ngwayoowa.+

54 Kumane Jakobo wakatuula cituuzyo mumulundu akutamba banabokwabo kuti balye cinkwa. Aboobo bakalya akoona mumulundu ooyo. 55 Pele Labani wakafwuma akumyonta bazyukulu* bakwe+ abana bakwe basimbi alimwi akubalongezya.+ Mpoonya Labani wakanyamuka akujokela kuŋanda.+
