Yehoba walayile Yakoba amba ukamuzhikijilanga byonka byo azhikijilanga Abalahama ne Izaka. Yakoba waikele mu mpunzha yo batelanga’mba Halana. Konkakwa, wasongwele ne kwikala na kisemi kikatampe, kabiji waikele na bunonshi bwavula bingi.

Mu kuya kwa moba, Yehoba waambijile Yakoba amba: ‘Bwela ku kyalo kya bashobe ne balongo bobe.’ Ponkapo, Yakoba ne kisemi kyanji batendekele kubwela ku kyalo kyanji. Byo bayilenga, bantu bamo baishile na kubuula Yakoba amba: ‘Kolojobe, Isao ubena kwiya ko uji, kabiji watangizhako banabalume 400 kulutwe yanji.’ Yakoba waumvwine bingi moyo mambo walangulukile’mba Isao usakumuba kyatama pamo ne kisemi kyanji. Walombele kwi Yehoba amba: ‘Mpulushai ku kolojami.’ Juba jalondejilepo, Yakoba watumine mikooko, bambuzhi, bañombe, bangamela ne bambongolo kwi Isao amba bya bupe.

Pa joja juba bufuku Yakoba saka aji bunke, wamwene malaika. Uno malaika watendekele kwisunsa ne Yakoba. Besunshile kufikatu ne ku makya. Nangwa kya kuba Yakoba wikozhezhe, bino kechi walekele kwisunsa na malaika ne. Malaika wamwambijile’mba: ‘Ndeke ngyenga.’ Bino Yakoba waambile’mba: ‘Kechi nsakwimulekako ne, kanatu mumpeshe.’

Kepo malaika apesheshe Yakoba. Yakoba po po ayukile’mba Yehoba kechi ukaswisha Isao kumuba kyatama ne.

Lukelo, Yakoba watajile palepa byobya ne kumona Isao saka eya na banabalume 400. Yakoba watangijileko ne kusha kisemi kyanji  kunyuma ne kuya na kufukama kwi kolojanji bimye bitanu na bibiji. Isao wanyemejile Yakoba ne kumupakachilamo. Bonse babiji batendekele kujila, kabiji batendekele kumvwañana jikwabo. Walanguluka’mba Yehoba waumvwine byepi pa byaubile Yakoba kimye kyo amwene kolojanji?

Kufuma popo, Isao wayile ku nzubo yanji, ne Yakoba naye wayile kwanji. Yakoba wajinga na baana ba balume 12. Mazhina abo ke Lubenyi, Shimeona, Levi, Yuda, Danyi, Nafitali, Gadi, Ashela, Isakala, Zebuluna, Yosefwa, ne Benjamina. Pa bano baana, Yehoba waingijishepo Yosefwa pa kupulusha bantu banji. Wayuka byo aubile nyi? Twaya tumone.
