Yakobo aza gutura i Beteli

¹ Imana ibwira Yakobo, iti «Haguruka uzamuke ujye i Beteli, uhagume iminsi; maze Imana yakubonekeye igihe wahungaga mumuru wawe Ezawu, uyihubakire urutambiro.»

² Nuko Yakobo abwira urugo rwe n’abo babanaga bose ati «Muvaneho ibigirwamana by’ibinyamahanga mufite, mwisukureihe wahungaga mukuru wawe, muhindure imyambaro.

³ Maze duhaguruke tuzamuke i Beteli! Nzahubakira Imana urutambiro, yo yanyumvise mu minsi y’ibyago byanjye kandi ikaba kumwe nanjye mu rugendo nagenze.»

⁴ Ibigirwamana by’ibinyamahanga bari bafite hamwe n’amaherena, byose babiha Yakobo, abihamba mu nsi ya cya giti cy’umushishi kiri hafi ya Sikemu.

¹⁰ Imana iramubwira iti «Izina ryawe ryari Yakobo. Ariko ntibazongera kukwita Yakobo, izina ryawe rizaba Israheli!» Nuko imwita Israheli.

¹¹ Imana irongera iti «Ndi Imana Nyir’ububasha. Wororoke ugwire, uzabyara umuryango, ndetse n’imiryango myinshi izagukomokaho, n’abami bazaguturukaho.

¹² Igihugu nahaye Abrahamu na Izaki ndakiguhaye, nzakigabira n’urubyaro rwawe.»

¹³ Imana irazamuka imusiga aho bari bavuganiye.

¹⁴ Yakobo ahashinga ibuye bukingi, arishinga nyine aho bari bavuganiye. Iryo buye arisukaho divayi, anarisigaho amavuta y’imizeti.

¹⁵ Nuko Yakobo yita Beteli aho hantu yari yavuganiye n’Imana.

Ivuka rya Benyamini, n’urupfu rwa Rasheli

¹⁹ Rasheli arapfa, bamuhamba hafi y’inzira ijya Efurata, ari yo Betelehemu.

²⁰ Yakobo ashinga ibuye bukingi ku mva ye: ni ryo buye rishinze ryo ku mva ya Rasheli; riracyariho na n’ubu.
