25 Kombunda yongwatero ya Josef, Jakob wa tja ku Laban: “Ndji esa mbi tjinde, mbi yaruke kehi retu. 26 Ndji pa ovakazendu mbu mba ungurira pove, novanatje vandje kutja mbi yende. Ove omuini hapo mo tjiwa kutja okuungura kwandje kwa ṱekire pi.”

Muhona we ku sera ondaya mu avihe, mbi mba tjita. Nu nambano imba ovondjuwo yandje hi keveungurire ruṋe?”

Me tuku mo ozonyanda azehe ozombinḓe nozombonde; ozondjona azehe ozonḓorozu, nozongombo ozombonde nozombinḓe; inḓa onḓu maze rire ondjambi yandje. 33 Nu ku imbyo kombunda opu mo munine ouṱakame wandje; ove tji weya okutara ondjambi yandje, nami tji mbi nongombo, ndji he ri ombinḓe poo ombonde poo onḓu, ndji he ri onḓorozu, otji mo tjiwa kutja oyo ya vakwa.”
34 Nu Laban wa zira a tja: “Osemba, eṱe matu tjiti nao otja tji wa hungire!” 35 Nungwari eyuva tjingero ndo Laban wa tuka ozongombo ozondume zotuvao nozombonde, nozongombo ozonḓenḓu azehe, nḓa ri ozombinḓe nozombonde, nu nḓa ri nouvara ouvapa; wina wa tuka ozonḓu ozonḓorozu azehe, na twako ovazandu ve okuzetjevera. 36 Laban wa zapo pu Jakob na kayenda oure wondjira yomayuva yetatu nozonyanda ze. Nu Jakob wa ṱakamisa inḓa ozonyanda za Laban, nḓa sewa po.
37 Jakob wa pora otutavi twomaso oruhapo komutjenya nomuvapu nomutete, na tatura mo otuvao otuvapa kutja otutavi tu kare notuvao otuvapa mu two. 38 Eye wa twa itwi otutavi momurungu wozonyanda momatemba omahiriro. Eye we tu twa mbo, tjinga aaze hambwa tji maze ya okunwa. 39 Nozonyanda tjinga aaze hambwa mokati kouti mbo za kwata oungombona wotuvao nouvinḓe noumbonde.
40 Nu Jakob wa tuka inḓa ozonḓu ne ze tarisa ouhunga na inḓa ozombinḓe na inḓa ozonḓorozu mokati kozonyada za Laban; neye we ritjitira otupanda twe peke, ne he ze twa mozonyanda za Laban.
41 Naruhe ozonyanda inḓa omaremba tjiyaze paha okuhambwa, Jakob otjaa twa outi mbo momurungu wozonyanda momatemba omahiriro kutja ze hamberwe pouti mbo. 42 Nungwari eye kaa twa po outi momurungu wozonyanda inḓa nḓa rambuka kutja inḓa ozondambi ze rire oza Laban, nu inḓa ozonḓune ze rire oze. 43 Mokamanga eye wa karira omurumendu omutumbe tjinene. Eye wa ri notupanda otuingi twozonyanda novakarere nozongamero nousino.
