32 Yakomba yanunga ni wenyi wenyi, mba angelo ja Zambi yaliwana nenyi. 2 Muze Yakomba aamwene, yakomoka ngwenyi: “Chino chili chilombo cha Zambi!” Kashika, yaluka chihela chacho jina ngwenyi, Mahaneme.*

3 Chocho, Yakomba yatuma tunganda kulutwe lienyi, kuli yayo Esau, ku chifuchi cha Sere, mu mavu ja Endome. 4 Yaalweza ngwenyi: “Munukamba kuli mwene wami Esau ngwenu: ‘Chocho anambe kavumbi kenu Yakomba: “Natwama ni Lapane matangwa anji ndo musono. 5 Hinapita ngombe, yimbulu, mapanga, ngamba a malunga ni a mapwo. Ngunatumu anulweze sango jino mwene wami hanga ngupwe kama ni utayizo wenu.”’”

6 Muze te hikwapalika amwe mashimbu, tunganda yeza kuli Yakomba yamba ngwo: “Twaliwana ni yayenu Esau, iye kaneza ni kulitakana ni yenu, kali ni atu 400.” 7 Yakomba yanenganyana chinji ni kwivwa woma. Kashika, yahandununa atu waze apwile no mu yizavu yaali. Yalinga chochene ni mapanga, ngombe ni tumelu. 8 Iye yamba ngwenyi: “Nyi Esau malukukila chizavu chimwe, chizavu chikwo muchihasa kuchina.”

9 Mba Yakomba yamba ngwenyi: “Zambi ya tata Apalahama, Zambi ya tata Izake, Yehova, yenu nwangulwezele ngwenu: ‘Hiluka ku chifuchi chenu, kuli asoko je, yami mungukufunga kanawa.’ 10 Yami kavumbi kenu te chatelele utu wa zango ni ushishiko uze nunangusolwela, mumu muze nazaukile lwiji Yordau napwile wika ni mutondo, haliapwila hinapwa yizavu yaali yinene. 11 Ngunaliumbu, ngulamwine kama ku kwoko lia yaya Esau. Ngunamuvwila woma ngwami hanji mangulukukila yami, mapwo jami ni ana jami. 12 Yenu nwambile ngwenu: ‘Pundu lume mungukufunga kanawa, mungupwisa munyachi we ngwe masekeseke a ku kalunga-lwiji, waze apwa anji keshi kuhasa kwalula.’”

13 Yapombela kuzekwene. Mba ha yize apwile nayo, yachizaho yimwe hanga ahane kuli yayo Esau. 14 Pembe a yihwo 200, makuji a pembe 20, mapanga a yihwo 200, kuji a mapanga 20, 15 tumelu waze te anamwisa ana 30, ngombe a yihwo 40, makuji a ngombe 10, yimbulu a yihwo 20, ni makuji a yimbulu 10.

16 Yayihana kuli ngamba jenyi, chendo chimwe kulutwe, chikwo kunyima, yaalweza ngwenyi: “Yeenu kulutwe liami, nwatamba kulisela tuwa hakachi ka chendo chimwe ni chikwo.” 17 Iye yamba nawa kuli ngamba mutangu ngwenyi: “Nyi walitakana ni yaya Esau mba makuhula ngwenyi: ‘Uli ngamba waya? Kulihi unayi? Yimuna wano anayi kulutwe lie aya?’ 18 Umukumbulule ngwe: ‘Kali a kavumbi kenu Yakomba. Yino yili yawana yize anutumina yenu mwene wami Esau, ni iye mwene kaneza kunyima lietu.’” 19 Yamba maliji wano ene kuli kavumbi wamuchiali, wamuchitatu ni kuli eswe waze te anakaula yendo ngwenyi: “Nyi munulitakana ni Esau, chenacho munumulweza. 20 Nwatamba kwamba nawa ngwenu: ‘Kavumbi kenu Yakomba kaneza kunyima lietu.’” Mumu te kanaliambe ngwenyi: ‘Nyi mungumuhwimisa mbunge ha kulianga kumutumina chimwe chawana, hanji iye mangutambula kanawa muze mungumuwana.’ 21 Kashika alianga kutuma chawana, alioze mwene kapombela mu chilombo.

22 Ha ufuku uzewene, Yakomba yakatuka, yanda mapwo jenyi aali, ngamba aali a mapwo ni ana jenyi eswe kumi ni kashi, yazauka lwiji Yapoke haze atu te akuzaukila hashi. 23 Yaakwasa kuzauka lwiji, yazawisa nawa yuma yeswe yize apwile nayo.

24 Yakomba yasala ukawenyi. Chocho, yikusoloka umwe lunga, yaputuka kulitachika nenyi ndo muze kwachile. 25 Muze amwene ngwenyi kahashile kukumba Yakomba, yamukwata mu shina lia kulu, chocho shina lia kulu lia Yakomba yilisepuka muze te analitachika nenyi. 26 Mba lunga wacho yamba ngwenyi: “Ngweche nguye mumu kwilu kunayi ni kucha.” Chocho, Yakomba yamba ngwenyi: “Chichi kukwecha ndo haze munguwahishila.” 27 Yamuhula ngwenyi: “Jina lie iya?” Iye yakumbulula ngwenyi: “Jina liami Yakomba.” 28 Mba iye yamba ngwenyi: “Jina lie kulichi kupwa nawa Yakomba, alioze, mulipwa Izalele,* mumu hiwalitachika ni Zambi, ni atu, nihindu wakumba.” 29 Yakomba yamba kuli iye ngwenyi: “Lisesa, ngulweze jina lie.” Chocho, iye yamukumbulula ngwenyi: “Mumu liaka unahula jina liami?” Mba lunga wacho yamuwahisa kuzekwene. 30 Kashika, Yakomba yaluka chihela chacho jina ngwenyi, Peniele,* yamba ngwenyi: “Namona Zambi meso ni meso, chipwe chocho chafwile.”

31 Muze Yakomba te hahiana Penwele,* tangwa yilituhuka, alioze te kanachingwinya mumu lia shina lia kulu lienyi. 32 Kashika, ndo musono, ana ja Izalele keshi kulia mujipa wa mu shina lia kulu lia kashitu. Mumu lunga wacho kakwachile Yakomba ha mujipa wa mu shina lia kulu.
