14 Wathi uLabhan kuye, Okunene ulithambo lam, uyinyama yam. Wahlala naye inyanga iphela.
15 Wathi uLabhan kuYakobi, Kungokuba ungumzalwana wam na, le nto undikhonza ngelizé? Ndixelele umvuzo wakho.
16 Ke kaloku uLabhan waye eneentombi ezimbini; igama lenkulu lalinguLeya, igama lenci lalinguRakeli.
17 Ke uLeya wayenechaphothi; uRakeli wayemhle isiqu, emhle imbonakalo.
18 UYakobi ubemthanda uRakeli, wathi, Ndokukhonza iminyaka esixhenxe ngenxa kaRakeli, intombi yakho enci.
19 Wathi uLabhan, Kulungile ukuba ndimnike wena, kunokuba ndimnike enye indoda; hlala nam ke.
20 UYakobi wakhonza ke iminyaka esixhenxe ngenxa kaRakeli; yanga yimihla embalwa emehlweni akhe, ngenxa yokumthanda kwakhe.
