2 Pavuli paki, Yakobe wangukambiya a munyumba yaki ndipuso ŵanthu wosi wo wenga nawu kuti: “Tuzganipu achiuta achilendu pakati pinu,+ jitoweseni ndipu sinthani vakuvwala vinu.
3 Tiyeni tisoki, tiluti* ku Beteli. Kweniko, ndakumuzenge guŵa la sembi Chiuta wauneneska, yo wangundimuka pa nyengu yo ndenga mu masuzgu ndipuso yo waŵanga nani kwekosi ko ndalutanga.”+
4 Mwaviyo, angupereka kwaku Yakobe achiuta achilendu wosi wo ŵenga nawu. Yiwu angupereka so ndeŵereŵi zo zenga mumakutu ngawu. Ndipu Yakobe wanguviwundiya* pasi pa chimiti chikulu kufupi ndi Sekemu.
5 Ŵe pa ulendu wawu, Chiuta wangutenthemesa ŵanthu a mumatawuni ngo nganguŵazunguliya, mwaviyo anguŵalondo cha ŵana aku Yakobe.
6 Pavuli paki, Yakobe ndi ŵanthu wosi wo wenga nawu angufika ku Luzi,+ ko kudanika so kuti ku Beteli, mucharu cha Kanani.
7 Kwenuku wanguzenga guŵa la sembi. Ndipu po wanguzenga guŵa la sembi, wangupadana kuti Eli-beteli,* chifukwa chakuti kwenuku ndiku Chiuta wauneneska wangujivumbuwa kwaku iyu, pa nyengu yo wathaŵanga mku waki.+
8 Pati pajumpha nyengu, Debora+ yo wenga mlezi waku Rabeka wangufwa, ndipu wanguŵikika musina mwa phiri ku Beteli, pasi pa chimiti chikulu.* Mwaviyo, Yakobe wangudana chimiti cho, kuti Aloni-bakuti.*

10 Chiuta wangumukambiya kuti: “Ndiwi Yakobe.+ Kwamba msanawale udanikengi so kuti Yakobe cha kweni udanikengi kuti Isirayeli.” Ndipu wangwamba kumudana kuti Isirayeli.+
11 Chiuta wangumukambiya so kuti: “Ndini Chiuta Wanthazizosi.+ Mubalani ndipuso muyandani. Mwaku yiwi mutuliyengi mitundu yinandi ndipuso mpingu wa ŵanthu,+ ndipu mafumu ngatuwengi mwaku yiwi.*+
12 Charu cho ndikupereka kwaku Abrahamu ndipuso kwaku Isaki, ndazakuchipereka kwaku yiwi kweniso ku mphapu* yaku.”+
13 Pavuli paki, Chiuta wangutuwaku* kwaku iyu pamalu po wangulongoro nayu.
14 Mwaviyo, wangumika mwa wakukumbukiyapu pamalu po Chiuta wangulongoro nayu, ndipu pa mwa wo, wangupunguliyapu sembi ya chakumwa kweniso mafuta.+
15 Ndipu Yakobe wangulutirizga kudana malu ngo Chiuta wangulongoroliyapu nayu kuti Beteli.+
16 Pavuli paki angutuwaku ku Beteli. Ndipu ŵeche pataliku ndi Efurati, nthumbu yaku Rakelu yinguyuka, ndipu wangusuzgika ukongwa pakubala.
17 Kweni wachisuzgika kuti wabali mwana, muzamba wangumukambiya kuti: “Ungawopanga cha chifukwa ubalengi so mwana munthulumi.”+
18 Rakelu wachimalizika (pakuti wafwanga), wangupaska mwana yo zina lakuti Beni-oni,* kweni awisi angumupaska zina lakuti Benjamini.*+
19 Mwaviyo, Rakelu wangufwa ndipu wanguŵikika mumphepeti mwa msewu wakuluta ku Efurati, ko kudanika so kuti ku Betelehemu.+
20 Yakobe wangumika mwa wakukumbukiyapu pamuwunda waki. Mwa wo ungumikika pamuwunda waku Rakelu ulipu mpaka msanawale.
21 Pavuli paki, Isirayeli wangusoka ndipu wanguchijintha hema laki panthaziku kujumpha kanyumba kakuthopoka ka* Ederi.
22 Nyengu yinyaki Isirayeli wachija mucharu cho, Rubeni wanguchigona ndi Biliha, mbilika* ya awisi, ndipu Isirayeli wanguvwa nkhani yeniyi.+
Sonu Yakobe wenga ndi ŵana anthulumi 12.
23 Ŵana anthulumi wo Leya wangubaliya Yakobe ŵenga, Rubeni+ mwana wakwamba, pavuli paki Simiyoni, Levi, Yuda, Isakara ndi Zebuloni.
24 Ŵana anthulumi wo Rakelu wangubaliya Yakobe ŵenga Yosefi ndi Benjamini.
25 Ndipu ŵana anthulumi wo Biliha, mteŵeti waku Rakelu wangubaliya Yakobe ŵenga Dani ndi Nafutali.
26 Ndipu ŵana anthulumi wo Zilipa mteŵeti waku Leya wangubaliya Yakobe ŵenga Gadi ndi Ashere. Ŵenaŵa ndiwu ŵana anthulumi aku Yakobe wo wangubaliya ku Padani-aramu.
27 Pakumaliya paki, Yakobe wangufika ko kwenga awisi a Isaki ku Mamure,+ ku Kiriyati-ariba, ko kudanika so kuti ku Heburoni, kweniko Abrahamu ndipuso Isaki ajanga nge alendu.+
28 Isaki wanguja ndi umoyu vyaka 180.+
29 Pavuli paki, Isaki wangututa kakumaliya, wangufwa ndipu wanguwunganisikiya ku ŵanthu ŵaki.* Ŵana ŵaki Esawu ndi Yakobe angumuŵika mumuwunda. Isaki wanguja umoyu utali kweniso wakukhorwesa.*+
