Uputukilo 28:1-22
28 Izake yasanyika Yakomba, yamuwahisa, yamwaha shimbi ngwenyi: “Kanda umbata pwo hakachi ka ana a mapwo A-Kanana.
2 Yako ku Panda-narame, ku zuwo lia tatenu Mbetule hanga umbateko pwo hakachi ka ana-mapwo a nokotu Lapane.
3 Zambi Mukwa-Ndundo-Jeswe makakuwahisa, makakwaha ana, makakokesa, pundu mukapwa chikungulwila cha atu eka ni eka.
4 Makahana kuli yena ni munyachi* we chiwape cha Apalahama, hanga ukazuke chifuchi muze watwama ngwe chilambala, chifuchi chize Zambi ahanyine kuli Apalahama.”
5 Chocho Izake yatuma Yakomba, iye yaya ku Panda-narame, hanga aliwane ni Lapane, mwana wa Mbetule, Ka-Arameu, ndumbu ya Rebeka, naye ya Yakomba ni Esau.
6 Esau yamona ngwenyi, Izake te hawahisa Yakomba ni kumutuma ku Panda-narame hanga ambachileko pwo, chikwo nawa, ha kumuwahisa yamba kuli iye ngwenyi: “Kanda umbata pwo hakachi ka ana ja A-Kanana.”
7 Yamona nawa ngwenyi Yakomba hononokena tato ni naye ni kuya ku Panda-narame.
8 Mba Esau yanyingika ngwenyi tato Izake te keshi kuzanga ana mapwo ja A-Kanana;
9 Kashika, Esau yaya kuli Ishemali, kuchizako mapwo waze te hambata kulu, yambata nawa Mahalate ndumbu ya Nepayote. Mahalate kapwile mwana wa Ishemali, mwana wa Apalahama.
10 Yakomba yakatuka ku Mbia-shipa yatalikisa ku Harane.
11 Muze ahetele ku chimwe chihela, yalilulieka hanga apombe, mumu tangwa te hiliatoka. Yanda limwe liwe, yashachilaho mutwe, mba yapomba.
12 Yalota, mu chilota chacho, yamona yimwe ndalo hashi, songo liayo linahete ndo mu malilu. Mba angelo ja Zambi te kananyina-nyina ni kusunwoka ha ndalo yacho.
13 Helu liayo hapwile Yehova, iye yamba ngwenyi:
“Yami Yehova, Zambi ya tatenu Apalahama, ni Zambi ya Izake. Chifuchi chino unapombo munguchihana kuli yena ni munyachi* we.
14 Pundu lume, munyachi we muukapwa ngwe mavu a hashi, munyachi we muukalitanda ku chivumbuko ni ku chitokelo, ku norte ni ku sule; mba mavungu eswe a hashi makaawahisa* kupalikila muli yena ni kupalikila mu munyachi* we.
15 Nguli hamwe ni yena, mungukufunga kweswako kuze muoya, mba mungukakuneha nawa mu chifuchi chino. Chichi kakuhichika ndo muze mungumanununa yize nakulakenya.”
16 Mba Yakomba yakasumuka mu tulo, yamba ngwenyi: “Pundu lume, Yehova kali ha chihela chino, yami te chanyingikine.”
17 Iye yevwa woma, yamba nawa ngwenyi: “Chihela chino kole ni mwongo! Pundu lume, chihela chino chili zuwo lia Zambi, chikolo cha malilu.”
18 Chocho, Yakomba yahinduka chimenemene, yanda liwe lize te anashachila mutwe, yalimanyisa ngwe nguji, yazujilaho maji.
19 Chocho, chihela chacho yachiluka jina ngwenyi, Mbetele;* alioze kunyima te kakuchivuluka ngwo, Luze.
20 Mba Yakomba yalishinga ngwenyi: “Nyi Zambi manunga hamwe ni yami, mangufunga mu wenyi wami, ni kungwaha mbolo hanga ngulie ni mazalo hanga nguzale,
21 mba munguhiluka ku zuwo lia tata ni sambukila, chamwenemwene Yehova musolola ngwe, uli Zambi yami.
22 Liwe lino namanyisa hano ngwe nguji mulikapwa zuwo lia Zambi; pundu lume, mungukakwaha chihanda cha kumi cha yeswe yize mungwaha.”
