5 Naizvozvo Isaka akarega Jakobho achienda, akaenda kuPadhani-aramu, kwaRabhani mwanakomana waBhetueri muSiriya,+ hanzvadzi yaRibheka,+ amai vaJakobho naIsau.+
6 Isau paakaona kuti Isaka akanga akomborera Jakobho uye akamuendesa kuPadhani-aramu kuti anotora mudzimai ikoko, uye kuti paakamukomborera akamurayira, achiti: “Usatora mudzimai pavanasikana veKenani”;+
7 uye kuti Jakobho akanga achiteerera baba vake naamai vake uye akanga achienda kuPadhani-aramu;+
8 Isau akabva aona kuti vanasikana veKenani vakanga vasingafadzi Isaka baba vake.+
9 Nokudaro Isau akaenda kuna Ishmaeri akatora Maharati mwanasikana waIshmaeri mwanakomana waAbrahamu, hanzvadzi yaNebhayoti, kuti ave mudzimai wake, kuwedzera kune mamwe madzimai ake.+

13 Uye tarira! Jehovha akanga akamira pamusoro pao, akati:+
“Ndini Jehovha Mwari waAbrahamu baba vako naMwari waIsaka.+ Ndichakupa iwe nevana* vako nyika yaurere pairi.+
14 Vana vako vachava seguruva renyika,+ vachapararira kwose kwose kumavirira nokumabvazuva nokuchamhembe nokumaodzanyemba,+ uye mhuri dzose dzenyika dzichazvikomborera nokwauri uye nokuvana vako.+
15 Tarira ndinewe, ndichakuchengeta parwendo rwako rwose rwauri kufamba uye ndichakudzosa panyika ino,+ nokuti handizokusiyi kusvikira ndaita zvandataura kwauri.”+
16 Jakobho akabva amuka pahope dzake akati: “Chokwadi Jehovha ari munzvimbo ino asi ini handina kuzviziva.”
17 Akatya akatizve:+ “Nzvimbo ino inotyisa kwazvo!+ Iyi ndiyo imba yaMwari+ chaiyo uye iri ndiro gedhi rokumatenga.”

19 Uyezve, akatumidza nzvimbo iyoyo kuti Bheteri;+ asi chaizvoizvo, guta racho raimbonzi Ruzi.+
20 Zvino Jakobho akapika mhiko,+ achiti: “Kana Mwari akaramba aineni, akandichengeta parwendo urwu rwandiri kufamba, akandipa zvokudya zvokuti ndidye nenguo dzokuti ndipfeke,+
21 ndikadzoka norugare kuimba yababa vangu, ipapo Jehovha achange ava Mwari wangu.+
22 Dombo iri randamisa kuti rive shongwe richava imba yaMwari,+ uye zvinhu zvose zvamuchandipa ndichakupai chegumi chazvo.”+
