28 Awungivumelanga ukuba ngange amadodana ami namadodakazi ami. Untumazele ngalokho.
29 Kusemandleni esandla sami ukwenza okubi kuwe, kepha uNkulunkulu kayihlo ukhulumile kimi ebusuku obudlule, wathi: ‘Qaphela ukuba ungakhulumi kuJakobe okubi noma okuhle.’
30 Manje njengokuba usumuka impela, lokhu ulangazelela nokulangazelela indlu kayihlo, webeleni izithixo zami na?”
31 UJakobe waphendula, wathi kuLabani: “Ngokuba ngesaba ngithi: Funa ungiqhwage amadodakazi akho.
32 Kepha lowo ozakuthola kuye izithixo zakho akayikusinda; qaza phambi kwabafowethu okwakho okukimi, ukuthathe.” Ngokuba uJakobe wayengazi ukuthi uRaheli wayezebile.
