1 Kuya Imulungu kamlongela Yakobu, "Ugheluke ughende Beteli, ukakale ako, ukanitsengele nene Imulungu hanu ha kutambikila, nene Imulungu yanikulawile haung'ali utsuma kumpfuka ndughu yako Esau."

2 Apfo Yakobu kawalongela iwanu wa mkaye mwake na iwanu iwali naye, "Pfilapfeni pfinyagho pfe imilungu pfamlinapfo, kuya mwoghe na mpfale ghamaghwanda ghangi. 3 Twakuka, twoghenda Beteli, ako nitsomtsengela Imulungu hanu ha kutambikila, Imulungu yula iyanyapfile litsuwa lila hanidununzike, yuyo iyakalile na nene kokose kwang'endile." 4 Apfo wamwing'a Yakobu pfinyagho pfose pfe imilungu pfawali napfo na heleni tsose tsawapfalile mmaghutwi mwawo, Yakobu kapfitsika hasi mwe mbiki ighukemighwe mwaloni ako Shekemu.

5 Yakobu ne iwanaghe hawang'ali wakuka, Imulungu kawaghela wogha iwanu wa imiji iili habehi, ng'awadahile baye kuwakoleletsa. 6 Yakobu ne iwanu wake tsawapfika hanu hakemighwe Luzu, sambi hokemighwa Beseli, mna isi ya Kanaani. 7 Tsakatsenga hanu ha kulapfila nambiko, na kahakema hanu hala Eli Beteli, kwaapfila hanu hala Imulungu tsakamlawila Yakobu hayang'ali yotsuma kumpfuka ndughu yake. 8 Kuya Debora iyakalile mtumwa wa Rebeka, tsakafa na kutsikighwa hasi he mbiki ighukemighwa mwaloni, ubali wa kuhisi wa Beteli, apfo mbiki aghwo tsaghukemighwa Aloni Bakuti, mana yake mbiki wa chililo.

9 Yakobu hayoyile Padani Aramu, Imulungu kamlawila keli, kambaliki. 10 Imulungu kamlongela, "Taghwa lyako Yakobu, lekeni ng'utsokemighwa keli Yakobu, ila kutsokemighwa Isiraeli." Apfo Imulungu tsakamwing'a taghwa Isiraeli. 11 Imulungu kamlongela, "Nene na Imulungu Yane Ngupfu tsose. Weleke iwana wengi na wongetseke. Wanu wengi watsolawila mna iwana wako, na wandewa watsolawa mlukuli mwako. 12 Isi yanimwing'ile Abrahamu na Isaka nitsokwing'a ghweghwe, pfipfila nitsoweng'a na watsukulu wako isi ino." 13 Imulungu hayamalitse kulonga naye, kamleka koka. 14 Yakobu kemitsa libwe hanu hala Imulungu hayalongile naye, kaghida nambiko ya chokunwa, pfipfila kaghida ghamafuta mna libwe alyo, kalitenda liwe lye Imtwatsa. 15 Yakobu kahakema Beteli, hanu aho hayalongile ne Imulungu.

16 Yakobu na kaye yake woka kulawa Beteli, hawang'ali wahabei na kupfika Efurati, Raheli tsakona usungu ng'ani wo ukweleka. 17 Naye hayang'ali mna usungu awo mkulu wo ukweleka, mkunga kamlongela, "Raheli, uleke kupfuka, kwaapfila kuna imwana yungi immale." 18 Lekeni Raheli hayang'ali yohila no ukufa, kamwing'a mwanaghe taghwa Benoni, mana yake mwana wa usungu wangu, lekeni aba wake tsakamkema Benjamini, mana yake, mwana wa nondokela.

19 Kuya Raheli kafa, katsikighwa mmbalimbali mwa inzila iighenda Efurati, sambi yomanyika ka Betilehemu. 20 Yakobu keka libwe mchang'a mwa chibaka cha Raheli, libwe lila lyolangusa chibaka cha Raheli mbaka leloli. 21 Kuya Yakobu, pfipfila iyakemighwe Isiraeli, kaghendelela na ghumwanza, katsenga chibumbulika chake kumwambu mwa ghumnala ghwa Ederi.

22 Isiraeli hayang'ali yokala mna isi ila, Rubeni tsakawasa na Biliha, pinga wa aba wake, naye Isiraeli tsakahulika mbuli atso.

Yakobu tsakana iwana kumi na weli. 23 Iwanaghe Lea tsawakala Rubeni, chaudele wa Yakobu, Simeoni, Lawi, Yuda, Isakari na Zabuloni. 24 Iwanaghe Raheli tsa Yosefu na Benjamini. 25 Iwana wa Biliha, mtumwa wa Raheli, tsawakemighwa Dani na Nafutali. 26 Iwana wa Zilipa, mtumwa wa Lea, tsa Gadi na Asheri. Awano iwo iwana wa Yakobu, iwelekighwe Padani Aramu.
