26. Wathi uLabhan kuYakobi, Wenza ntoni na ukundilalanisa, uziqhube iintombi zam njengabathinjwe ngekrele?
27. Yini na ukuba uzímele, ubaleke, undilalanise, ungandixeleli? Ngendiba ndikundulule ngemivuyo, nangeengoma, nangengqongqo, nangohadi.
28. Yini na ukuba ungandivumeli ndibange oonyana bam neentombi zam? Kaloku wenzé ngobudenge.
29. Kusemandleni esandla sam ukunenza ububi; ke uThixo kayihlo uthethe nam phezolo, esithi, Zilumkele, ungathethi nto noYakobi, nokuba yelungileyo nokuba yembi.
30. Ngoku umkileyo nje, ngokuba walangazelela kakhulu indlu kayihlo, uzibeleni na zona izithixo zam?
31. Waphendula uYakobi wathi kuLabhan, Bendisoyika, kuba bendisithi, Hleze uzixhakamfule kum iintombi zakho.
32. Osukuba uzifumana kuye izithixo zakho, makangadli bomi. Phambi kwabazalwana bethu fanisa into yakho enam, uyithabathe. Wayengazi uYakobi ukuba uRakeli uzibile.
33. Wangena uLabhan ententeni kaYakobi, nasententeni kaLeya, nasententeni yeempelesi zombini; akazifumana. Waphuma ententeni kaLeya, wangena ententeni kaRakeli.
34. Ke kaloku uRakeli ebeyithabathile imilonde-khaya, wayifaka phakathi kwesali yenkamela, wahlala phezu kwayo. ULabhan wayiphuthaphutha yonke intente, akayifumana.
35. Wathi kuyise, Mawungabi namsindo, nkosi yam, kuba ndingenako ukusuka phambi kwakho, ngokuba ndihleli phezu kwengca. Wagquthagqutha, akayifumana imilonde-khaya.
