4 A mo fa Bilha mosebeletsi oa hae hore e be mosali oa hae ’me Jakobo a robala le eena.+

24 Ragele a mo reha Josefa*+ a re: “Jehova o mphile mora e mong.”
25 Ka mor’a hore Ragele a tsoale Josefa, Jakobo a re ho Labane: “E-re ke tsamaee ke ee naheng ea heso.+
26 Mphe basali ba ka le bana ba ka bao ke ba sebelelitseng e le hore nka tsamaea. Oa tseba hore ke u sebelelitse ka thata.”+
27 Labane a re ho eena: “Ke kopa hore u se ke oa tsamaea hobane lipontšo* tseo ke li boneng, li entse hore ke hlokomele hore Jehova o ntlhohonolofatsa ka lebaka la hao.”
28 A boela a re: “Mpolelle hore na ke u patale ka eng ’me ke tla u patala.”+
29 Jakobo a re ho eena: “Oa tseba hore ke u sebelelitse ka thata le hore liphoofolo tsa hao li ile tsa atleha ha ke ne ke li hlokometse.+
30 Pele ke fihla liphoofolo tsa hao li ne li se ngata empa joale li eketsehile. Jehova o u hlohonolofalitse ho tloha ha ke fihla. Joale ’na ke tla sebeletsa lelapa la ka neng?”+
31 Labane a re: “Ke u fe eng?” Jakobo a re: “U se ke oa mpha letho. Haeba u ka nketsetsa ntho e le ’ngoe feela, ke tla lisa liphoofolo tsa hao le ho li hlokomela hape.+
32 Ke tla feta har’a liphoofolo tsohle tsa hao kajeno. U behelle ka thoko linku tsohle tse nang le matheba ’me liramong tse nyenyane o behelle ka thoko tsohle tse sootho. Lipoling tse tšehali teng, u behelle ka thoko tsohle tse nang le matheba. Ho tloha hona joale, liphoofolo tsena e tla ba moputso oa ka.+
33 Nakong e tlang ha u tl’o sheba moputso oa ka, u tla bona hore kea tšepahala.* Haeba u ka fumana tsohle tse se nang matheba lipoling tse tšehali le tse seng sootho liramong tse nyenyane ke tla be ke li utsoitse.”
34 Labane a re: “Ho lokile. Ho ke ho be feela joalokaha u kopile.”+
35 Letsatsing leo a behella ka thoko lipoli tse tona tse nang le mela le matheba le lipoli tsohle tse tšehali tse nang le matheba, tsohle tse nang le bosoeu le liramo tsohle tse sootho liramong tse nyenyane ’me a li fa bara ba hae hore ba li hlokomele.
36 Ka mor’a moo, a ea sebakeng se bohole ba leeto la matsatsi a mararo pakeng tsa hae le Jakobo ’me Jakobo a lisa liphoofolo tsa Labane tse setseng.
37 Jakobo a nka lithupa tse qetang ho khuoa lifateng tsa storaxe, tsa almonde le tsa poleini ’me a li ebola hore li hlahise bosoeu.
38 A nka lithupa tseo a li ebotseng a li kenya ka linoelong tsa liphoofolo hore ha li tl’o noa metsi li li bone ’me li palese.
39 Liphoofolo li ne li palesa ka pel’a lithupa ’me li tsoala tse nang le mela le tse nang le matheba.
40 Jakobo a arola liramo tse nyenyane ’me a etsa hore liphoofolo li shebane le tse nang le mela le tsohle tse sootho har’a liphoofolo tsa Labane. A beha liphoofolo tsa hae ka thoko ’me a se ke a li kopanya le tsa Labane.
41 Neng kapa neng ha liphoofolo tse matla li palesa, Jakobo o ne a beha lithupa ka linoelong moo liphoofolo li ntseng li li bona e le hore li palese pel’a tsona.
42 Empa ha liphoofolo li ne li fokola, o ne a sa behe lithupa moo. Tse fokolang e ne e lula e le tsa Labane empa tse matla e le tsa Jakobo.+
43 Monna enoa a ’na a atleha ’me a ba le liphoofolo tse ngata le basebeletsi ba banna le ba basali hammoho le likamele le litonki.+
