¹ Ha Jakobo a ntse a tswela pele leetong la hae, mangeloi a Modimo a kopana le yena,

² mme yare ha Jakobo a a bona, a re: “Lena ke lebotho la Modimo!” Yaba o rea sebaka seo lebitso la Mahanaime.

Ho romelwa maqosa ho Esau

³ Jakobo a eteletsa maqosa pele ho ya ho moholwane wa hae Esau, naheng ya Seire, lefatsheng la Edomo.

⁴ A laela maqosa ao, a re: “Le tle le bue tjena ho morena ka, Esau: ‘Mohlanka wa hao, Jakobo, o bua tjena: Ke ne ke jakile ha Labane, ka dula teng ho fihlela jwale.

⁵ Ke na le dikgomo, le ditonki, le mehlape ya dinku, le bahlanka, le makgabunyane, mme ke behela wena morena wa ka hore o tle o nkgauhele.’ ”

⁶ Maqosa a kgutlela ho Jakobo, a re: “Re ile ra fihla ho moholwane wa hao Esau, mme le yena o ntse a etla ho tla o kgahlanyetsa, a ena le banna ba makgolo a mane.”

⁷ Jakobo a tshoha haholo, a tshwenyeha. A arola batho bao a neng a ena le bona, le mehlape ya dinku le ya dikgomo, le dikamele, a etsa dihlopha tse pedi.

⁸ Yaba o re: “Haeba Esau a ka fihla sehlopheng sa pele, a se ripitla, sehlopha se setseng se tla phonyoha.”

⁹ Jakobo a rapela, a re: “Modimo wa ntate Aborahama, le Modimo wa ntate Isaka, wena Morena ya itseng ho nna: ‘Kgutlela naheng ya heno le ho bang ka wena, mme ke tla o tswela molemo’,

¹⁰ ha ke tshwanelwe ke mohau wohle le botshepehi bohle, e leng tseo o sebeleditseng mohlanka wa hao ka tsona. Ke ne ke tshele Jorodane ke nkile molamu wa ka feela, empa jwale ke na le dihlopha tse pedi.

¹¹ Ke a o rapela, ako nnamolele matsohong a moholwane wa ka, matsohong a Esau, hobane ke a mo tshaba, esere a tla, a mpolaya le basadi le bana.

¹² Hape wa na wa re: ‘Ke tla o tswela molemo, ke atise ditloholo tsa hao, di be kaalo ka lehlabathe la lewatle, le ke keng la balwa ka baka la bongata.’ ”

¹³ A robala moo bosiung boo, mme ho tseo a di ruileng a ntshetsa moholwane wa hae Esau mpho.

¹⁴ E ne e le dipodi tse makgolo a mabedi, le diphooko tse mashome a mabedi; dinku tse makgolo a mabedi, le dipheleu tse mashome a mabedi;

¹⁵ dikamele tse nyantshang tse mashome a mararo mmoho le dipetsana tsa tsona; dikgomo tse mashome a mane, le dipoho tse leshome; le ditonki tse mashome a mabedi tse tshehadi, le dipetsana tse leshome.

¹⁶ Tsena a di nea bahlanka ba hae, mohlape ka mong o tsamaya ka bowona, mme a re ho bahlanka ba hae: “Nketelleng pele, mehlape ya lona e sielane sebaka dipakeng.”

¹⁷ A laela ya kgannang mohlape wa pele, a re: “Ha o teana le Esau, moholwane wa ka, mme a o botsa, a re: ‘O mohlanka wa mang? O ya kae? Dintho tsee, tseo o di kgannang, ke tsa mang?’

¹⁸ Wena o tle o re: ‘Ke tsa mohlanka wa hao Jakobo; ke mpho eo a e romelang ho morena wa ka Esau. Le yena o ntse a etla kamorao ho rona.’ ”

¹⁹ A laela le ya kgannang mohlape wa bobedi, le wa boraro, le bohle ba kgannang mehlape, a re: “Le lona le tle le bue jwalo ho Esau, ha le teana le yena,

²⁰ mme le be le re: ‘Le yena mohlanka wa hao Jakobo o ntse a etla kamorao ho rona.’ ” Jakobo o ne a re: “Ke tla mo thoba pelo ka dimpho tse nketeletseng pele, mme hamorao ha ke tadimana le yena, mohlomong a ka nkamohela.”

²¹ Dimpho tseo tsa mo etella pele, yena a robala moo a neng a hlomile teng.

Jakobo o kolokotjhana le motho

²² Bosiung bona boo Jakobo a tsoha, a nka basadi ba hae ba babedi le makgabunyane a hae a mabedi, le bara ba hae ba leshome le motso o mong, a tshela ledibohong la Jaboko.

²³ A ba nka, a ba tshedisa noka, a tshedisa le tseo a nang le tsona.

²⁴ Yaba Jakobo o sala a inotshi mme a kolokotjhana le monna e mong ho fihlela mafube a hlaha.

²⁵ Monna eo ha a bona hore a ke ke a hlola Jakobo, a mo nonyetsa nokeng, mme ka hona noka ya Jakobo ya nonyetseha ha ba ntse ba kolokotjhana.

²⁶ Yaba monna eo o re: “Ntlohele ke tsamaye, hobane mafube a hlahile!” Empa Jakobo a re: “Ha nka ke ka o tlohela wa tsamaya, haese haeba o ka ntlhohonolofatsa!”

²⁷ Eo a re ho Jakobo: “Lebitso la hao a mang?” Yena a re: “Ke Jakobo.”

²⁸ Yaba monna eo o re: “Ha o sa tla hlola o bitswa Jakobo, empa o tla bitswa Iseraele, hobane o lwanne le Modimo le batho, mme o hlotse.”

²⁹ Jakobo a mmotsa, a re: “Ako mpolelle lebitso la hao hle!” Empa eo a re: “O mpotsetsang lebitso la ka?” Yaba o mo hlohonolofaletsa hona moo.

³⁰ Jakobo a rea sebaka seo lebitso la Peniele, hobane o ne a re: “Ke bone Modimo ka mahlo, empa ke ntse ke phela.”

³¹ Letsatsi la mo tjhabela ha a feta Peniele, a ntse a hlotsa, ka baka la noka ya hae.

³² Ka baka lena, le kajenoya-bokajeno Baiseraele ha ba je mosifa wa noka, o lenonyeletsong la noka, kaha Jakobo a ne a nonyetswe mosifeng oo wa noka.
