12 Kandi waransezeraniye uti: ‘Nzakugirira neza, ngwize n’abazagukomokaho bangane nk’umusenyi wo ku nkombe z’inyanja utabarika!’ ”
13 Yakobo arara aho, bukeye atoranya amatungo yo kurura mwene se Ezawu:
14 ihene magana abiri n’isekurume zazo makumyabiri, n’intama magana abiri n’isekurume zazo makumyabiri,
15 n’ingamiya zonsa mirongo itatu hamwe n’izazo, n’inka mirongo ine n’impfizi icumi, n’indogobe z’ingore makumyabiri n’iz’ingabo icumi.
16 Ayo matungo ayaha abagaragu be buri bwoko ukwabwo, arababwira ati: “Nimubanze mugende kandi mujye musiga intera hagati ya buri bwoko n’ubundi.”
17 Abwira ugiye imbere ati: “Nuhura na mwene data Ezawu akakubaza ati: ‘Uri nde? Urajya he? Ayo matungo ushoreye ni aya nde?’,
18 umusubize uti: ‘Databuja, ni ayo umugaragu wawe Yakobo agutuye, kandi na we musize inyuma.’ ”
19 Yakobo abwira n’abandi bagaragu be bose bari bagiye gushorera amatungo ati: “Nimuhura na Ezawu muzamubwire mutyo,
20 munamubwire ko mwansize inyuma.” Yaribwiraga ati: “Nimbanza kumwoherereza amatungo, azacururuka mbashe kumutunguka imbere.”
21 Nuko bashorera ya matungo, naho Yakobo yongera kurara mu nkambi.
