14 Wambatele bimembe ba lwabo 200, na bizamba ba bimembe 20, na bimanga ba lwabo 200, na bimanga ba nkomba 20,
15 na tumele 30 baje bakele na kujamwesa bana babo, na bingombe ba lwabo 40, na bingombe ba nkomba 10, na bidonki ba lwabo 20, na bidonki ba nkomba ba kukola 10.

18 Co unapande kumuleka ngwobe, ‘Banapu ba ngamba yobe Jakobu. Obu bunapu bwana bwanatumu kuli yobe mwata wendi, co nendi bene ali na kwija munima yetu.’”
19 Co washikile lalo na ngamba wamucibali na wamucitatu na boshe baje bakele na kwija munima ya matanga ngwendi: “Awa akewo majwi amukaleka Isau mumukaliwana nendi.
20 Munapande lalo kukamuleka ngweni: ‘Ngamba yobe Jakobu ali na kwija munima yetu,’” mwafwa walyendekesele ngwendi: ‘Nga njibanga kumutumina bwana bwa kumuzibisa kubwaha, co munima munjiliwana nendi hamo asa kunjitambula mwamubwa.’
21 Ngeci buje bwana bwalibangele kulutwe lwendi, oloni ikeye walalele muje mu cilombo.
22 Buje butsiki, Jakobu wakatukile na kwambata banakazi bendi babali na bangamba bendi ba banakazi babali na bana bendi ba banalume 11, co wajabukile nabo ha mwaba wa Jaboki.
23 Ngeci wabambatele na kubajabwisa uje muna-ndonga, co wajabwisile na byuma byoshe byakele nabyo.
24 Mamaneselelo Jakobu wasalele likalyendi, co munalume umo washangumukile kulwa nendi kweta noho mukwaile na kukya.
25 Uje munalume mwamwene ngwendi kamuhyanene, wamukwatele mu ntungi, ngeci ntungi ya Jakobu yasongonokele mwakele na kulwa na uje munalume.
26 Munima yebi, uje munalume wendekele ngwendi: “Njecele njiye mwafwa kuli na kuya na kukya.” Jakobu mwazibile ngoco, wendekele ngwendi: “Kunjikwecela kubanga unanjibezikisa.”
27 Co uje munalume wamwihwile ngwendi: “Yobe iya?” Wamukumbulwile ngwendi: “Yange Jakobu.”
28 Co uje munalume wendekele ngwendi: “Lizina lyobe kulipu lalo Jakobu, oloni lipwa Isalele* mwafwa unalu na Njambi na banu, co mamaneselelo unahyana.”
29 Co Jakobu wamulekele ngwendi: “Njileke lizina lyobe.” Oloni uje munalume wamukumbulwile ngwendi: “Bika biwihwila lizina lyange?” Ngeci wamubezikisilile kuje.
30 Co Jakobu walukile uje mwela ngwendi Peniele* mwafwa wendekele ngwendi: “Njinamono Njambi mesho na mesho, oloni mwonyo wange banaunyungilila.”
31 Mwatubakanene lika Penuele,* misha ya litangwa yashangumukile kumutwila, oloni wakele na kunjalikita mwafwa ya ntungi yendi.
