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.
21 Wathi uYakobi kuLabhan, Ndinike umkam, kuba izalisekile imihla yam, ukuba ndimngene.
