37Jakopo a dzhia matavhi maṋu a mupopuliri na mualimondo na mupulatani a tsheṱa mitalo mitshena khao nga u kwatula makwati, ha vhonala thanda tshena ya nga ngomu ya matavhi. 38A vhea matavhi ayo o kwatulwaho mikungwani ya maḓi na hoṱhe hune dza nwa hone, uri a livhane na nngu musi dzi tshi ḓa u nwa maḓi, 39thutha dza hwela tsadzi henefho phanḓa ha ayo matavhi. Dza dzwala ngwana tsehana kana khwana kana thamahana. 40Jakopo a khethela ngwana thungo, hone a ita uri dziṅwe dzoṱhe dzi lavhelese tsehana na tswana dze dza vha dzi dza Labani. Nga u ralo a khetha dzawe nngu a si tende dzi tshi ṱangana na dza Labani. 41Ho vha hu tshi ri musi tsadzi dzi re na ḓafu dzo siama, Jakopo a vhea aḽa matavhi mikungwani phanḓa hadzo uri dzi hwelane dzó sedza matavhi, 42hone arali izwo zwifuwo zwi zwirole, o vha a sa vhei matavhi phanḓa hazwo.
