1 Wesuka uYakobi, waya ezweni labasempumalanga.
2 Wakhangela, wabona iqula ezweni, nantso ikhona imihlambi emithathu yempahla emfutshane, ibuthile ngakulo; kuba imihlambi yayisezwa kwelo qula. Kukho ilitye elikhulu emlonyeni wequla.
3 Yabe ihlanganiselwa khona yonke imihlambi, baliqengqe ilitye, balisuse emlonyeni wequla, bayiseze impahla emfutshane, balibuyisele ilitye elo emlonyeni wequla endaweni yalo.
4 UYakobi wathi kubo, Bazalwana bam, nivela phi na? Bathi bona, Sivela kwaHaran.
5 Wathi kubo, Niyamazi na uLabhan, unyana kaNahore? Bathi, Siyamazi.
6 Wathi kubo, Usaphilile na? Bathi, Usaphilile; nanku noRakeli, intombi yakhe, esiza nempahla emfutshane.
7 Wathi, Yabonani, kusesemini enkulu, asilixa lakuhlanganisa impahla; yisezeni impahla emfutshane, niye kwalusa.
