2 Opo nee okwa mona ondungu i li mepya nomaufita atatu eedi a nangala popepi nayo, molwaashi ovafita omo va li have di xwiile mondungu oyo. Poshivelo shayo opa li pe na emanya la kula.
3 Ngeenge omaufita aeshe okwa ongala, ohava undula po emanya olo li li poshivelo shondungu, ndele tava xwiile omaufita oo, nokonima ohava shuna po emanya poshivelo shondungu.
4 Jakob okwe va pula, a ti: “Vakwetu, omwa dja peni?” Ova nyamukula va ti: “Otwa dja kuHaran.”
5 Okwe va pula vali, a ti: “Omu shii Laban, omutekulu waNahor?” Ova nyamukula va ti: “Heeno, otu mu shii.”
6 Okwe va pula, a ti: “Oku li tuu nawa?” Ova ti: “Oku li nawa. Omonakadona waye, Rakel, oye winya ta di kwinya needi.”
7 Opo nee okwa ti: “Kali fi efimbo lokwoongela omaufita, molwaashi omutenya owa twa. Onghee nwefeni eedi, ndele tamu ke di lifa.”
8 Ovafita ova tya: “Inatu pitikwa tu shi ninge ofimbo omaufita aeshe inaa ongala. Ngeenge okwa ongala, ohatu undula po emanya poshivelo shondungu, ndele hatu nwefa eedi.”
9 Ofimbo Jakob a li ta popi natango navo, Rakel okwa li e uya needi daxe, molwaashi okwa li omufita weedi.
10 Eshi Jakob a mona Rakel, omonakadona waLaban, omumwaina waina, needi daLaban, okwa undula po diva emanya olo la li poshivelo shondungu, ndele ta xwiile eedi daLaban, omumwaina waina.
11 Jakob okwa xupita Rakel, ndele ta lili mokule.
12 Onghee Jakob okwa lombwela Rakel kutya ye omupambele* waxe, nonokutya ye omona waRebeka. Opo nee Rakel okwa tondoka a ka lombwele xe.
13 Diva eshi Laban a uda kombinga yaJakob, omonamati wamumwaina, okwa tondoka e ke mu shakeneke. Okwe mu papatela, nokwe mu xupita, ndele te mu twala meumbo laye. Opo nee Jakob okwa lombwela Laban oinima aishe.
14 Laban okwa tya kuye: “Ove omupambele wange wopopepi elela.”* Onghee okwa kala puye omwedi aushe.
15 Laban okwa tya kuJakob: “Mbela ou na ashike okulongela nge oshali, molwaashi u li omupambele wange?* Lombwele nge kutya owa hala ndi ku pe ondjabi yashike.”
16 Laban okwa li e na ovanakadona vavali. Edina laao a kula oLea, nolaau munini oRakel.
17 Omesho aLea kaa li e na osheeta, ofimbo Rakel a li muwa moshipala noku na eholokepo liwa.
18 Jakob okwa li e hole Rakel, onghee okwa tya: “Onda hala oku ku longela omido heyali u pe nge omonakadona woye, oo munini, Rakel.”
19 Laban okwa tya: “Oshi li xwepo ndi ku pe omona wange ponhele yoku mu yandja komulumenhu umwe e lili. Kala ho di pwaame.”
20 Jakob okwa longela Rakel omido heyali, ndele kuye osha li ashike onga omafiku manini, molwaashi okwa li e mu hole unene.
21 Jakob okwa tya kuLaban: “Pe nge omukulukadi wange ndi nangale naye, molwaashi omafiku oku mu longela okwa pwa ko.”
22 Laban okwa ifana ovanhu aveshe vomoshitukulwa, nokwa ninga oshivilo.
23 Ashike konguloshi, Laban okwa kufa omonakadona waye Lea, ndele te mu twala kuJakob, opo a nangale naye.
24 Laban okwa yandja yo omupiya waye omukainhu, Silpa, komonakadona waye Lea, a ninge omupiya waye.
25 Ongula eshi kwa sha, Jakob okwa mona kutya oo a li naye oLea. Onghee okwa tya kuLaban: “Owa ninga nge ngahelipi ngaha? Hano ou nda longela ke fi Rakel? Omolwashike wa kengelela nge?”
26 Laban okwa ti: “Pamufyuululwakalo wetu, omukulunhu oye ha yandjwa tete kokaana.
27 Hafela pamwe naye oule woshivike ashishe. Konima yaasho, ohandi ke ku pa vali omukainhu mukwao, ngeenge owa longele nge vali omido heyali.”
28 Jakob okwa hafela pamwe nomukainhu oo oshivike, nokonima yaasho, okwa yandja omonakadona waye, Rakel, a ninge omukulukadi waye.
29 Laban okwa yandja omupiya waye omukainhu, Bilha, komonakadona waye, Rakel, a ninge omupiya waye.
30 Opo nee Jakob okwa nangala naRakel nokwa li e mu hole unene shi dulife Lea, nokwa longela vali Laban omido heyali.
