Hakupalika cha mashimbu, Yehova yalweza Yakomba ngwenyi: ‘Hiluka ku chifuchi cha atatenu.’ Hachino, Yakomba ni usoko wenyi, yalinga wenyi wakufuna ku chifuchi cho. Mu jila amwe atu yeza kuli Yakomba ni kumulweza ngwo: ‘Yayenu Esau, kaneza ni kukupatwiza hamwe ni malunga 400!’ Yakomba yevwa woma unji. Iye yanyonga ngwenyi, Esau kanazange kungulinga upi hamwe ni usoko wami. Chocho, yalemba kuli Yehova ngwenyi: ‘Ngunaliumbu, ungupulule ku kwoko lia ndumbwami.’ Ha tangwa lize liasulileho, Yakomba yatumina Esau chawana cha mapanga, pembe, ngombe, tumelu, ni yimbulu anji.
Ha ufuku wacho muze Yakomba te ali ukawenyi, aye yamona umwe mungelo! Mungelo wacho yaputuka kulilamba ni Yakomba. Ayo yalilamba ufuku weswe. Chipwe ngwe Yakomba kamusengunwine, nihindu kakechele mungelo hanga aye. Mungelo yamwamba ngwenyi: ‘Ngweche hanga nguye kwami.’ Alioze Yakomba yamba ngwenyi: ‘Ka, chichi kukwecha, ndo unguwahise.’
Hi kusongo, mungelo yawahisa Yakomba. Chocho, Yakomba yanyingika ngwenyi, Yehova te kechi kwecha hanga Esau amulinge upi.
