2 Isake anati, “Tsopano ine ndakalamba, ndipo sindidziwa tsiku langa lakufa. 3 Tsono tenga zida zako, muvi wako ndi uta, pita kuthengo ukandiphere nyama. 4 Undikonzere chakudya chabwino monga muja ndimakonderamu ndipo ubwere nacho kwa ine kuti ndidye ndi kuti ndikudalitse ndisanamwalire.”
5 Koma Rebeka amamvetsera pamene Isake amayankhula ndi mwana wake Esau. Esau atanyamuka kupita kuthengo kukaphera abambo ake nyama, 6 Rebeka anati kwa mwana wake Yakobo, “Taona ndamva abambo ako akuwuza mʼbale wako Esau kuti, 7 ‘Bweretsere nyama yakutchire ndipo undikonzere chakudya chokoma kuti ndidye; kuti ndikudalitse pamaso pa Yehova ndisanamwalire.’ 8 Tsopano mwana wanga, mvetsetsa ndipo uchite zimene ndikuwuze: 9 Pita ku khola, ukatenge ana ambuzi abwino awiri, kuti ndikonzere abambo ako chakudya chokoma monga amakondera. 10 Kenaka upite nacho chakudyacho kwa abambo ako kuti adye ndi kukudalitsa asanafe.”
11 Koma Yakobo anati kwa Rebeka amayi ake, “Komatu mʼbale wanga Esau ndi munthu wa khungu la ubweya zedi, ndipo ine ndine munthu wa khungu losalala. 12 Mwina abambo anga adzandikhudza, ndipo ndidzaoneka kuti ndawapusitsa. Tsono ndizadzitengera temberero mʼmalo mwa madalitso.”
13 Amayi ake anati kwa iye, “Mwana wanga, temberero limenelo ligwere ine. Iwe ungochita zimene ine ndikukuwuza; pita kanditengere timbuzito.”
14 Choncho anapita nakatenga timbuzito ndi kubwera nato kwa amayi ake. Choncho Rebeka anaphika chakudya chokoma monga momwe Isake amakondera. 15 Tsono Rebeka anatenga zovala zabwino kwambiri za Esau mwana wake wamkulu zimene zinali mʼnyumba namuveka Yakobo. 16 Anamuvekanso manja ake ndi khosi lake ndi zikopa za mwana wambuzi. 17 Kenaka, anamupatsa Yakobo chakudya chokoma chija chimene anaphika pamodzi ndi buledi.
18 Yakobo anapita kwa abambo ake ndipo anati, “Abambo anga.”
Ndipo anayankha, “Eya, kodi ndiwe mwana wanga uti?”
19 Yakobo anati kwa abambo ake, “Ndine Esau mwana wanu woyamba. Ndachita monga munandiwuzira. Chonde dzukani ndi kukhala tsonga kuti mudyeko nyama ndakukonzeraniyi kuti tsono mundidalitse.”
20 Isake anafunsa mwana wake, “Wayipeza msanga chotere bwanji mwana wanga?”
Iye anayankha, “Yehova Mulungu wanu anandithandiza kuti ndiyipeze.”
21 Pamenepo Isake anati kwa Yakobo, “Tabwera pafupi ndikukhudze mwana wanga, kuti ndidziwedi ngati uli mwana wanga Esau kapena ayi.”
22 Yakobo anasendera kufupi ndi abambo ake Isake ndipo anamukhudza nati, “Mawuwa ndi mawu a Yakobo koma mikonoyi ndi mikono ya Esau.” 23 Sanamuzindikire, popeza mikono yake inali ndi ubweya ngati ya mʼbale wake Esau; choncho anamudalitsa. 24 Isake anafunsa, “Kodi ndiwedi mwana wanga Esau?”
Yakobo anayankha, “Inde ndine.”
25 Ndipo iye anati, “Mwana wanga, patseko nyama yakoyo ndidye kuti ndikudalitse.”
Yakobo anabwera ndi nyama ija kwa Isake ndipo anadya. Kenaka anamupatsanso vinyo ndipo anamwa. 26 Tsono Isake anati kwa Yakobo, “Bwera kuno mwana wanga undipsompsone.”
27 Choncho anapita namupsompsona. Apa Isake anamva fungo la zovala zake, ndipo anamudalitsa nati,
“Haa, fungo la mwana wanga
lili ngati fungo la munda
umene Yehova waudalitsa.
28 Mulungu akugwetsere mame akumwamba
ndipo minda yako ibale tirigu wambiri
ndi vinyo watsopano.
29 Mitundu ya anthu ikutumikire iwe
ndipo anthu akugwadire iwe.
Ukhale wolamula abale ako,
ndipo ana aamuna a amayi ako akugwadire.
Amene akutemberera iwe atembereredwe
ndipo amene adalitsa iwe adalitsike.”
30 Isake atatsiriza kudalitsa Yakobo, atangochoka pamaso pa abambo akewo, Esau anabwera kuchokera kosaka kuja. 31 Nayenso anakonza chakudya chokoma nabwera nacho kwa abambo ake. Ndipo anati kwa iye, “Chonde abambo, dzukani mukhale tsonga kuti mudye nyamayi ndi kuti mundidalitse.”
32 Abambo ake, Isake, anamufunsa kuti, “Ndiwe yani?”
Iye anayankha, “Ndine mwana wanu woyamba Esau.”
33 Isake ananjenjemera kwambiri nati, “Nanga ndani uja anakapha nyama kutchire nʼkudzandipatsa? Ine ndadya kale, ndadya nyamayo iwe utangotsala pangʼono kubwera ndipo ndamudalitsa ndipo adzakhaladi wodalitsika.”
34 Esau atamva mawu a abambo ake, analira mokweza ndi mowawidwa mtima nati kwa abambo ake, “Inenso dalitseni abambo anga!”
35 Koma iye anati, “Mʼbale wako anabwera mwachinyengo ndipo watenga madalitso ako.”
36 Esau anati, “Kodi nʼchifukwa chake iyeyu dzina lake lili Yakobo eti? Aka nʼkachiwiri kundinyenga: Anatenga ukulu wanga, pano watenga madalitso anga!” Kenaka anafunsa, “Kodi simunandisungireko ena madalitsowo?”
37 Koma Isake anamuyankha nati, “Ndamudalitsa iye kuti akhale wokulamulira iwe. Ndaperekanso abale ake onse kuti akhale omutumikira iye, ndipo ndamudalitsa ndi tirigu wambiri, ndi vinyo watsopano. Ndiye ndingakuchitirenso chiyani mwana wanga?”
38 Esau anati kwa abambo ake, “Kodi muli ndi dalitso limodzi lokhali, abambo anga? Inenso mundidalitse chonde abambo anga!” Pomwepo Esau analira mokuwa.
39 Tsono Isake abambo ake anamuyankha kuti,
“Malo ako okhalapo
sadzabala dzinthu,
ndipo mvula sidzagwa pa minda yako.
40 Udzakhala ndi moyo podalira lupanga
ndipo udzatumikira mʼbale wako.
Koma idzafika nthawi
pamene udzakhala mfulu
udzachotsa goli lake mʼkhosi mwako.”

41 Ndipo Esau anamusungira chiwembu Yakobo chifukwa cha madalitso amene abambo ake anamupatsa. Esau anati kwa iye yekha, “Masiku olira abambo anga ayandikira; pambuyo pake ndidzamupha mʼbale wangayu Yakobo.”
42 Pamene Rebeka anamva zimene mwana wake wamkulu Esau ankaganiza, anayitanitsa Yakobo nati kwa iye, “Mʼbale wako Esau akulingalira zakuti akuphe kuti akulipsire. 43 Tsopano mwana wanga, chita zimene ndinene: Nyamuka tsopano, uthawire kwa mlongo wanga Labani ku Harani. 44 Ukakhale naye kwa kanthawi mpaka mkwiyo wa mʼbale wako utatsika. 45 Tsono mkwiyo wa mʼbale wakoyo ukadzatsika ndi kuyiwala zonse wamuchitirazi, ndidzatuma munthu kuti adzakutenge. Nanga nditayirenji nonse awiri nthawi imodzi?”
46 Tsono Rebeka anati kwa Isake, “Ine sindikukondwera nawo anamwali a Chihiti. Ndipo ngati Yakobo angapeze mbeta kuno mwa anamwali a Chihitiwa, ndiye kuli bwino kungofa.”
28 Choncho Isake anayitanitsa Yakobo namudalitsa nʼkumuwuzitsa kuti, “Usakwatire mkazi wa kuno ku Kanaani. 2 Panopo upite ku Padanaramu, ku nyumba kwa Betueli abambo a amayi akowa, kumeneko ukakwatire mmodzi mwa ana aakazi a Labani, mlongo wa amayi akowa. 3 Mulungu Wamphamvuzonse akudalitse iwe nakupatse ana ambiri mpaka udzasanduke gulu lalikulu la mitundu ya anthu. 4 Mulunguyo akudalitse iwe monga mmene anamudalitsira Abrahamu kuti zidzukulu zako zidzalandira dziko limene ukukhalamo ngati mlendo kuti lidzakhale lawo. Ili ndi dziko limene Mulungu anapereka kwa Abrahamu.” 5 Ndipo Isake anamulola Yakobo kuti anyamuke kupita ku Padanaramu kwa Labani mwana wa Betueli Mwaramu. Labani anali mlongo wa Rebeka, mayi wa Yakobo ndi Esau.
6 Tsopano Esau anadziwa kuti Isake anadalitsa Yakobo ndi kumutumiza ku Padanaramu kuti akakwatire kumeneko. Anawuzidwanso kuti, “Usakwatire mkazi wa ku Kanaani.” 7 Yakobo anamvera abambo ake ndi amayi ake ndi kupita ku Padanaramu. 8 Ndiye pamenepo Esau anazindikira kuti abambo ake Isake sankakondwera ndi akazi a ku Kanaani; 9 anapita kwa Ismaeli mwana wa Abrahamu nakwatira Mahalati mwana wa Ismaeli, mlongo wake wa Nebayoti. Anatero kuwonjezera akazi amene anali nawo kale.

10 Yakobo ananyamuka pa ulendo kuchoka ku Beeriseba kupita ku Harani. 11 Atafika pa malo pena, anayima kuti agonepo chifukwa dzuwa linali litalowa.

Anthu onse adzalandira madalitso kudzera mwa iwe ndi zidzukulu zako. 15 Ine ndili nawe pamodzi ndipo ndidzakuyangʼanira kulikonse upiteko, ndipo ndidzakubwezera ku dziko lino. Sindidzakusiya mpaka nditachita zimene ndakulonjezazi.”
16 Yakobo atadzidzimuka, anati, “Zoonadi Yehova ali pa malo ano, ndipo ine sindinadziwe.” 17 Tsono anachita mantha ndipo anati, “Malo ano ndi woopsa ndithu. Zoonadi pano ndi pa nyumba ya Mulungu ndi khomo la kumwamba.”
18 Mmamawa mwake Yakobo anatenga mwala umene anatsamira mutu wake uja nawuyimika ngati chipilala ndi kuthira mafuta pamwamba pake 19 Iye anawatcha malowo Beteli, ngakhale kuti poyamba mzindawo ankawutcha Luzi.
20 Pamenepo Yakobo analumbira kwa Yehova nati, “Ngati inu Mulungu mukhala ndi ine, kundiyangʼanira pa ulendo wangawu ndi kundipatsa chakudya ndi chovala; 21 ngati inu mudzandibweretsa kwathu mu mtendere, ndiye kuti mudzakhala Mulungu wanga, 22 ndipo mwala uwu ndawuyimikawu udzakhala Nyumba ya Mulungu. Ine ndidzakupatsani chakhumi cha zinthu zonse zimene mudzandipatse.”

18 Yesu ataona gulu la anthu litamuzungulira, analamula kuti awolokere kutsidya lina la nyanja. 19 Ndipo mphunzitsi wa malamulo anabwera kwa Iye nati, “Aphunzitsi, ine ndidzakutsatani kulikonse kumene muzipita.”
20 Yesu anayankha kuti, “Nkhandwe zili ndi mapanga ndi mbalame zamlengalenga zili ndi zisa, koma Mwana wa Munthu alibe malo ogona ngakhale potsamira mutu wake.”
21 Wophunzira wina anati kwa Iye, “Ambuye, mundilole ndiyambe ndakayika maliro a abambo anga.”
22 Koma Yesu anamuwuza kuti, “Nditsate Ine ndipo uwaleke akufa ayikane akufa okhaokha.”

26 Iye anawayankha kuti, “Inu achikhulupiriro chochepa, chifukwa chiyani mukuchita mantha?” Ndipo anayimirira nadzudzula mphepoyo ndi mafunde ndipo panali bata lalikulu.
27 Ndipo ophunzirawo anadabwa nafunsa kuti, “Ndi munthu wotani uyu? Kuti ngakhale mphepo ndi mafunde zimvera Iye!”

28 Ndipo atafika ku mbali ina ya dera la Gadara, anakumana ndi anthu awiri ogwidwa ndi ziwanda akuchokera ku manda. Iwowa anali woopsa kwambiri kotero kuti panalibe munthu akanatha kudzera njira imeneyo. 29 Ndipo iwo anafuwulira kwa Yesu nati, “Mukufuna chiyani kwa ife, Inu Mwana wa Mulungu? Kodi mwabwera kuno kudzatizunza nthawi yake isanafike?”
30 Ndipo patali pake panali gulu la nkhumba zimene zimadya. 31 Ndipo ziwandazo zinamupempha Yesu kuti, “Ngati mutitulutsa ife mutitumize mu nkhumba izo.”
32 Iye anati kwa ziwandazo, “Pitani!” Ndipo pamenepo zinatuluka ndi kukalowa mʼnkhumbazo ndipo nkhumba zonse zinathamangira mʼnyanja ndi kufera momwemo. 33 Koma amene amaziweta anathawa nalowa mʼmudzi nafotokoza zonse, kuphatikizapo zimene zinachitika ndi anthu ogwidwa ndi ziwanda aja. 34 Ndipo anthu onse a mʼmudziwo anatuluka kukakumana ndi Yesu.
