1  Yakobo anayuvwa umwazi, kwo bagala Labaani bagweti bagayidodomba: «Si ibindu byoshi bya daata, muvyala witu wa Yakobo keera abigaaza! Na buno, akola mugale bweneene.» 2 Yakobo anabona kwo Labaani atakiri mu múshagalukira nga kwo âli kizi gira ubwa mbere.

3 Ha nyuma, Nahano anabwira Yakobo kwokuno: «Ugalukirage mu kihugo kya bashokuluza baawe, na mu mbaga yawe, bwo tuyamiinwi.»

4 Kwokwo, Yakobo anatumira bakaage, Laheeri na Leya, kwo bamúgwane mu ndagiriro, ho âli gishiri.

5 Neꞌri bakahika, anababwira: «Nabona kwo mwizo wani atakiri mu njagalukira nga kwo âli kizi gira. Kundu kwokwo, Rurema wa daata, tuyamiinwi. 6 Muyiji kwo mwizo wani, nꞌgamúkolera neꞌmisi yani yoshi. 7 Halikago, keera andeba mu kuhindurania ikihembo kyani ubugira kali ikumi. Kundu kwokwo, Rurema atakamúhanguula kwo angomeerese.

8 «Mwizo, iri angadesiri: “Ibitugwa byoꞌmuyezi, byo bigaaba kihembo kyawe”, kwokwo ibitugwa byoshi, binayami buta imiyezi. Neꞌri angadesiri: “Ibitugwa byeꞌbihuuga, byo bigaaba kihembo kyawe”, haaho ibitugwa byoshi, binayami buta ibihuuga. 9 Kwokwo, kwo Rurema akayabiira ibitugwa bya mwizo, anabimbeereza.

10 «Ikyanya ibitugwa byâli kizi linda, nanaloota. Mu yibyo birooto, nanabona kweꞌkyanya ibihebe biri mu yimya, byoshi biri byeꞌbihuuga, na byeꞌmiyezi, neꞌbipanga byeꞌbikeba-bikeba. 11 Na mu byebyo birooto, umuganda wa Rurema anambamagala: “E Yakobo!” Nanamúyitaba: “E waliha, nguteziri amatwiri.”

12 «Anambwira: “Langiiza! Ibihebe bikola mu yimya byeꞌbihuuga, na byeꞌmiyezi, neꞌbipanga byeꞌbikeba-bikeba. Na íbyatuma nagira kwoku, bwo nabona ngiisi byo Labaani ali mu kugirira. 13 Niehe, nie Rurema úkakuhulukira kwo i Beteeri, halya ukashinga lirya ibuye, wanaliyonera kwaꞌmavuta, mu kulitaluula. Ho ukanambiikira indahiro. Na buno, uyami yimuka mu kino kihugo, unagalukire mu kihugo kyo ukabutirwa mwo.”»

14 Uyo Laheeri, bo na Leya, banashuvya Yakobo: «Twehe, mu nyumba ya daata, ndaahyo twangaki hyana mwo. 15 Keera akatugondeesa, analya bindu byoshi. Kyo kitumiri akoli tubwinagi naaho nga binyamahanga. 16 Ibindu byoshi byo Rurema akayabiira daata, bishuba bindu biitu, twe naꞌbaana biitu. Aaho! Ngiisi byo Rurema akubwira, ubigirage.»

17 Kwokwo, Yakobo anayilingikania, anashonia bagala baage na bakaage ku ngamiya. 18 Anayabiira ibitugwa byage byoshi, kuguma neꞌbindi byoshi byo akalonga i Mezopotamiya, anabitwala. Anashokola injira yoꞌkugalukira mu kihugo kyeꞌKaanani, imunda yishe Hisake.

19 Neꞌkyanya Labaani akagendi kema ibibuzi byage ubwoya, Laheeri analonga ubulyo bwoꞌkumúzimba imigisi yage.

20 Kwokwo, kwoꞌyo Yakobo akateba Labaani, anayami yongoloka, buzira kumúseezera, 21 anapuumukana ibindu byage byoshi, anajabuka ulwiji Hefuraati, anashonga iwa migazi yeꞌGiryadi.

22  Yakobo, iri akaba keera agira isiku zishatu akoli geeziri, Labaani anabwirwa kwo Yakobo apuumuka. 23 Kwokwo, Labaani anakuumania beene wabo, banalandiriza Yakobo. Ha nyuma lyeꞌsiku zirinda, banamúhumaanana mu migazi yeꞌGiryadi.

24 Halikago mu bushigi, Rurema anayijira Labaani, Umuharaamu, mu birooto, anamúbwira: «Uloleekeze bwija. Utakolwe kwo wabwira Yakobo igambo kiri neꞌliguma, liba libi, kandi iri liija.»

25 Kwokwo, Labaani anahumaanana Yakobo mu migazi yeꞌGiryadi, ho Yakobo âli mali gwanwa ashinga iheema. Labaani naye, bo na beene wabo, nabo banashinga mwaꞌmaheema gaabo.

26 Uyo Labaani anabwira Yakobo: «Ewe! Maki gano wangirira? Si wandeba, wanaleeta banyere baani nga ábagwatwa imbira mwiꞌzibo! 27 Kituma kikagi ukanyongoloka, wanandeba? Si utakammenyeesa, gira nguseezere mu kati koꞌbushambaale, mu kukulakiza ingoma, neꞌnanga. 28 Utakambeereza ikyanya kyoꞌkuseezera banyere baani, kandi iri bijukulu baani, mbu mbanyunyugute. Mu kugira kwokwo, ukahwijikala ngana-ngana!

29 «Mbiitagi ubushobozi bwoꞌkukugira buligo. Haliko, mu bushigi bwa bigingo, Rurema wa yisho Hisake ambwira: “Uloleekeze bwija, utakolwe kwo wabwira Yakobo igambo kiri neꞌliguma, liba libi, kandi iri liija.” 30 Nyiji kwo ukoli kumbwiri yisho bweneene, kyo kikatuma ukayongoloka. Kundu kwokwo, kituma kikagi ukagenda wazimba imigisi yani?»

31 Yakobo, ti: «Nꞌgatona kwo wanganyaga bakaanie. 32 Halikago, ku biloziri imigisi yawe, ngiisi ye ugagwana úgihiiti, ayami yitwa ngana. Imbere lya bano beene winyu, ulolage bwija mwiꞌyi miteekerwa, iri hangaba halyagagi kindu kyawe kyo ngweti. Neꞌri wangakibona ukiyabiire, we nakyo.» (Ku yikyo kyanya, Yakobo atâli yiji kwo Laheeri akayija azimba imigisi ya Labaani.)

33 Kwokwo, Labaani analooza imigisi yage mwiꞌheema lya Yakobo, na mwiꞌheema lya Leya, na mu lya balya baja-kazi bombi, atanagibona.

Iri akahuluka mwiꞌheema lya Leya, anagendi yingira mu lya Laheeri. 34 Uyo Laheeri, ye kanyomboola iyo migisi. Âli gibishiri iꞌdako lyeꞌbyajo byo bali mu bwatala kwo ku ngamiya. Iyo migisi, anagibwatala kwo. Labaani, anagilooza-looza mwiꞌheema lyoshi, atanagibona.

35 Uyo Laheeri, anabwira yishe: «E daata, ungejeerere! Utayagalwe, ndaakwo nangayimanga imbere lyawe, bwo ndi mu lwaꞌbakazi.» Kwokwo, kwo Labaani âli kizi looza iyo migisi yage, atanagibona.

36 Haaho, Yakobo anaraakara, analongooza Labaani, ti: «Aaho! Buhube bukagi nagira, halinde uyije undambiriziizi kwo mwene yuku? 37 Buno, bwo keera wagukumula imiteekerwa yani yoshi, kindu kiki kyeꞌmwawe kyo wagigwana mwo? Ukiyerekanage imbere lya beene witu na beene winyu, gira batuhambuule.

38 «Si tukahisa imyaka makumi gabiri, tutuliinwi. Na mwiꞌyo myaka yoshi, ndaayo mbene yawe, kandi iri kibuzi, íkikasholola. Na mu buso bwawe, ndaalwo lusiku lwo nꞌgakulyalyania mweꞌkipanga. 39 Ndaanalwo lusiku kiri noꞌluguma, lwo nꞌgakuleetera ibitetereza byeꞌbitugwa byawe, mbu byaliibwa neꞌnyamiishwa. Haliko, nienyene nâli kizi kuliha byo. Ikitugwa íkyâli kizi zimbwa mu bushigi, kandi iri mwiꞌzuuba, wâli kizi kindihiisa.

40 «Mwiꞌzuuba, nâli kizi yitubanula. Na mu bushigi, nâli kizi kayuula, halinde na mbule iro. 41 Nꞌgahisa imyaka makumi gabiri nduuziri mu mwawe. Nꞌgatee kukolera imyaka ikumi niꞌna, mu kugonda banyere baawe bombi. Neꞌmyaka ndatu, ndi mungere weꞌbitugwa byawe. Kundu kwokwo, ukahindurania ibihembo byani ubugira kali ikumi.

42 «Rurema, ye Rurema wa shokulu Hiburahimu. Kiri na daata Hisake, âli kizi múyoboha. Aahago! Átaki nyuvwirwe indengeerwa, ku kasiisa wâli ugandeka ndaahe maboko mamaata. Haliko, anabona amalibu gaani, neꞌmikolwa yo nâli kizi kola naꞌmaboko gaani. Kyo kyatuma mu bushigi bwa bigingo, akukambira.»

43 Labaani, ti: «Yaba bakaawe, balyagagi baana baani. Na yaba baana baabo, nabo bali beꞌmwani. Kiri na yibi bitugwa, biri byeꞌmwani. Yibi byoshi byo ubwini, biri byeꞌmwani. Haliko, ukulyokera zeene, ku yaba banyere baani, na ku yaba bijukulu baani, ndaalyo ngi shobwiri ukugira. 44 Buno, ugirage tunywane ikihango. Yikyo kihango, bube bumasi ha kati kiitu twembi.»

45 Kwokwo, Yakobo analengeza ibuye liguma, analishinga nga nguliro yoꞌbukengeeze. 46 Anabwira beene wabo: «Mukuumanie agandi mabuye.» Neꞌri bakagakuumania, banagalunda yaho. Gaago mabuye, go bakanaliira kweꞌbyokulya. 47 Yikyo kilundo, Labaani anakiyinika iziina Yegaari-Sahaduta (kuli kudeta: kilundo kyoꞌkukengeezania). Yakobo anakiyinika iziina Galeedi.

48 Uyo Labaani anabwira Yakobo: «Kino kilundo kyaꞌmabuye, zeene bulyagagi bumasi ha kati kiitu.» Kwokwo, banakiyinika iziina Galeedi. 49 Banakiyinika niꞌziina Misipa, (kuli kudeta: kalaliizi). Mukuba, Labaani akadeta: «Amasu ga Nahano gakizi tuyama kwo, kiri na ku kyanya tutakiri kuguma. 50 Banyere baani, iri wangabalibuza, kandi iri ubahalika, kwokwo umenyage kwo mu kati kiitu, ndaako kandi kamasi, átali Rurema yenyene.»

51 Uyo Labaani anashubi bwira Yakobo: «Lolaga kino kilundo kyaꞌmabuye, neꞌyi nguliro nashinga. Nabishinga ha kati kiitu. 52 Kino kilundo, neꞌyi nguliro, bulyagagi bumasi, keera nanabibiika kweꞌndahiro, kwo ndâye ki gibalale, mbu nyiji kuteera. Na naawe kwakundi, utâye ki gibalale, mbu uyiji ndeera. 53 Kwokwo, Rurema wa Hiburahimu, na wa Nahoori,* 31.53 Nahoori Uyu Nahoori ye mwene wabo na Hiburahimu. Ndondeko 11.26Ye na shokulu wa Labaani. Ndondeko 24.24-29. bakizi tuhambuula.»

Kwokwo, uyo Yakobo anabiika indahiro kwiꞌziina lya Rurema. Anali ye yishe Hisake âli kizi yoboha.

54 Ha nyuma, Yakobo anahatangira ituulo, anahamagala beene wabo, kwo bayiji shangiira ibyokulya. Neꞌri bakaba keera bayusa ukulya, banalaala ho.
