5 Wawaphakamisa amehlo akhe, wababona abafazi nabantwana, wathi, Ngoobani na aba banawe? Wathi yena, Ngabantwana, athe uThixo wabababala umkhonzi wakho.
6 Basondela abakhonzazana, bona nabantwana babo, baqubuda.
7 Wasondela noLeya nabantwana bakhe, baqubuda; emveni koko wasondela uYosefu noRakeli, baqubuda.
8 Wathi, Iyintoni na yonke le mfuduka yakho endiqubisene nayo? Wathi, Yeyokuba ndibábalwe emehlweni enkosi yam.
9 Wathi uEsawu, Ndanele, mninawa; makube kokwakho okwakho.
10 Wathi uYakobi, Hayi, makungabi njalo. Ukuba kaloku ndibabalwe emehlweni akho, thabatha umnikelo wam lo esandleni sam; kuba ngenxa yoko ndibubonile ubuso bakho, ndanga ndibona ubuso bukaThixo, ndalikholo kuwe.
11 Khawuyithabathe intsikelelo yam ezisiweyo kuwe, ngokuba uThixo undibabale, kuba ndineento zonke. Wamjoka, wayithabatha.
