11Jakopo a fhindula mme awe Rabeka a ri, “Hufha mukomana wanga Esau e munna a re na mahaha, nṋe a thi na mahaha. 12Zwino arali khotsi anga vha mphuphuledza? Ndi vho ḓo nga ndi khou vha itela vhukwila, nda vho teketelwa nda si tsha shudufhadzwa.”
13Mme awe vha mu vhudza vha ri, “Ṅwananga, nga hu teketelwe nṋe. Iwe ita zwine nda u vhudza: tshimbila u yo nnzhiela mbudzana hedzo.” 14Ndi hone a tshi yo dzi dzhia, a dzi ḓisa ha mme awe, Rabeka a bika zwiḽiwa zwi ḓifhaho, zwone zwine khotsi awe vha zwi funa. 15Zwenezwo Rabeka a dzhia zwiambaro zwa ṅwana wawe muhulwane Esau, zwa maṱeleṱele, zwe Rabeka a vha e nazwo ngomu nḓuni, a ambadza ṅwana wawe muṱuku Jakopo. 16A dovha a mu ambadza mukumba wa mbudzana zwanḓani na mukuloni hune ha si vhe na mahaha. 17A konou ṋekedza ṅwana wawe Jakopo zwiḽiwa zwi ḓifhaho, na vhurotho he a vhu bika.

18Jakopo a ya ha khotsi awe a ri, “Muṋe wanga!” Isaka a fhindula a ri, “Ndi fhano ṅwananga. Ndi nnyi?”
19Jakopo a amba na khotsi awe a ri, “Ndi nṋe Esau tanzhe ḽavho. Ndo ita zwe vha mmbudza. Kha vha vuwe vha dzule, vha ḽe ṋama ya phukha vha kone u ntshudufhadza nga mbilu yoṱhe.”
20Isaka a vhudzisa ṅwana wawe a ri, “Khefha u songo vhuya wa lenga na u i wana, ṅwananga?” Ene a fhindula a ri, “Muṋe washu Mudzimu wavho ndi Ene we a ita uri zwi nnakele.”
21Ndi hone Isaka a tshi vhudza Jakopo a ri, “Sendela tsini ndi kone u u kwama ṅwananga, ndi ḓivhe arali vhukumakuma e iwe ṅwananga Esau kana u si ene.” 22Jakopo a sendela tsini ha khotsi awe Isaka, vha mu phuphuledza vha ri, “Ipfi ndi ḽa Jakopo, zwanḓa zwone ndi zwa Esau.” 23Ho ngo mu ḓivha, nge zwanḓa zwawe zwa vha zwi na mahaha unga zwa mukomana wawe Esau; zwenezwo a mu shudufhadza. 24A vhudzisa a ri, “Vhukumakuma u ṅwananga Esau naa?” Ene a fhindula a ri, “Ndi nṋe.”
25Ndi hone a tshi ri, “Ṅwananga, ḓisa ṋama ya phukha yau ndi ḽe, ndi kone u u shudufhadza nga mbilu yoṱhe.” Jakopo a mu ṋea a ḽa; a mu ḓisela waini a nwa. 26Khotsi awe Isaka vha amba nae vha ri, “Iḓa fhano ṅwananga u nkhise.” 27Ene a ya khavho vha mu khisa. Musi Isaka a tshi pfa munukho wa zwiambaro zwawe, a mu shudufhadza a ri,
“Ṅwananga u nukhelela unga ḓaka
ḽe Muṋe washu a ḽi shudufhadza.
28Ngavhe Mudzimu a tshi u wisela ṅwando u bvaho ṱaḓulu,

wa kaṋa mavhele manzhi na nḓirivhe dza waini.
29Ngavhe tshakha dzi tshi u shumela,

Ngavhe u tshi vhusa vhana vha khotsi au,
vhana vha mme au vha u luvha.
Vhane vha u teketela ngavhe vha tshi teketelwa,
vhane vha u shudufhadza vha shudufhadzwa.”

30Musi Isaka o no fhedza u mu shudufhadza, Jakopo a tshi kha ḓi tou bva u takuwa he a vha e na khotsi awe, mukomana wawe Esau a vha a tshi dzhena a tshi bva u zwima. 31Na ene a lugisa zwiḽiwa zwa u ḓifha, a zwi ḓisa ha khotsi awe. A amba navho a ri, “Khotsi anga, kha vha vuwe vha dzule vha ḽe ṋama ya phukha ye nda vha ḓisela, uri vha kone u ntshudufhadza.”
32Khotsi awe Isaka vha mu vhudzisa vha ri, “Ndi iwe nnyi?” Ene a fhindula a ri, “Ndi nṋe tanzhe ḽavho Esau.”
33Isaka a tshenuwa a tou tetemela a ri, “Zwino ndi nnyi-ha we a zwima phukha a i ḓisa ha nṋe? U tshi swika ndo vha ndi tshi kha ḓi tou bva u i ḽa, nda mu shudufhadza – ngoho ene u ḓo vha na mashudu.”
34Esau a tshi pfa maipfi a khotsi awe, a thoma u lila a tshi tou tshema lu ṱungufhadzaho, a amba na khotsi awe a ri, “Kha vha ntshudufhadze na nṋe, baba!”
35Hone vhone vha ri, “Murathu wau o ḓa nga vhufhura a dzhia mashudu au.”
36Esau a ri, “A tshi pfi Jakopo ho ngo rinwa zwavhuḓi? Zwino lwo no vha lwa vhuvhili a tshi mphura: O thoma a nnzhiela vhukomana, zwino o nnzhiela mashudu!” Zwenezwo a vhudzisa a ri, “A vho ngo vhuya vha ntsiela maṅwe mashudu?”
37Isaka a fhindula a ri, “Ndo mu ita muvhusi wau, mashaka awe oṱhe nda vha ita phuli dzawe, nda mu ṋea mavhele na nḓirivhe dza waini. Zwino tshine nda nga kha ḓi u itela tshone ndi mini ṅwananga?”
38Esau a vhudza khotsi awe a ri, “Muṋe wanga, vha tou vha na mashudu mathihi fhedzi? Nṋe a vha ntshudufhadzi-vho?” Esau a lila a tou ṱavha mukosi.
39Khotsi awe Isaka a mu fhindula a ri,
“U ḓo dzula kule na lupfumo lwa ḽifhasi,
kule na ṅwando u bvaho ṱaḓulu.
40U ḓo tshila nga pfumo, wa shumela murathu wau.
Hone u ḓo ri u tshi mu vutshela,

41Esau a fara Jakopo nga mbilu nga mulandu wa mashudu e khotsi awe vha mu ṋea. A amba nga mbilu a ri, “Maḓuvha a u lilela khotsi anga o sendela; ndi hone ndi tshi ḓo vhulaha murathu wanga Jakopo.”
42Musi Rabeka a tshi vhudzwa zwe ṅwana wawe muhulwane Esau a amba, a vhidzisa ṅwana wawe muṱuku Jakopo, a mu vhudza a ri, “Mukomana wau Esau u khou ṱoḓa u ḓilifhedzela nga u u vhulaha. 43Zwino-ha ṅwananga, ita zwine nda amba: Ṱavhanya u shavhele ha khaladzi anga Labani ngei Harani. 44U dzule navho tshifhinganyana u swika mbiti dza mukomana wau dzi tshi dzika. 45Hu ḓo ri mukomana wau a songo tsha u sinyutshela, ó no hangwa zwe wa mu ita, nda konou u laedzela uri u vhuye. Zwi nga mpfarisani ni tshi fa noṱhe nga ḓuvha ḽithihi vhuvhili haṋu?”
46Rabeka a vhudza Isaka a ri, “Ndo netiswa nga vhutshilo nga mulandu wa vhasadzi havha vha Vhahithi. Arali na Jakopo a vhinga musadzi wa ḽino shango a no bva kha vhasadzi vha Vhahithi vha no nga havha, ndi ḓo vha ndi si tshee na tshine nda tshilela tshone.”
