4 Awo Yakobo n’abuuza abasumba nti, “Abooluganda muva wa?” Ne bamuddamu nti, “Tuva Kalani.”
5 Kwe kubabuuza nti, “Labbaani mutabani wa Nakoli mumumanyi?” Ne bamuddamu nti, “Tumumanyi.”
6 N’abuuza nti, “Ali bulungi?” Ne baddamu nti, “Ali bulungi, era laba Laakeeri muwala we wuuli ajja n’endiga!”
7 N’abagamba nti, “Mulabe, obudde bukyali bwa ttuntu, ekiseera tekinnatuuka okukuŋŋaanya ensolo awamu, muzinywese mulyoke mugende muzirunde.”
8 Bo kwe kumuddamu nti, “Ekyo tetusobola kukikola ng’ebisibo byonna tebinnakuŋŋaanyizibwa, nga n’ejjinja terinaggyibwa ku mumwa gw’oluzzi, olwo ne tunywesa endiga.”
13 Awo Labbaani bwe yawulira ebya Yakobo, mutabani wa mwannyina, n’adduka okumusisinkana, n’amugwa mu kifuba n’amulamusa bulungi, n’amutwala mu nnyumba ye. Yakobo n’ategeeza Labbaani byonna ebyaliwo. 14 Labbaani n’agamba nti, “Mazima oli ggumba lyange, era nnyama ya mubiri gwange! N’abeera naye omwezi mulamba.” 15 Awo Labbaani n’agamba Yakobo nti, “Olw’okubanga oli waluganda ky’onoova ompeerereza obwereere? Ntegeeza empeera yo bw’eneebanga.”
16 Labbaani yalina bawala be babiri; erinnya ly’omukulu nga ye Leeya ne ly’omuto nga ye Laakeeri. 17 Leeya yali manafu, kyokka ye Laakeeri nga mulungi era nga w’amaanyi. 18 Yakobo yayagala Laakeeri, era n’agamba Labbaani nti, “Nzija kukuweereza*Anaawasa omugole ye yawangayo ebintu ebyogereza omuwala eri kitaawe w’omuwala (34:12). Kyokka bw’atabanga na kya kuwaayo, yapakasanga ewa kitaawe w’omuwala okumala ebbanga lye baalagaananga. emyaka musanvu olwa muwala wo omuto Laakeeri.”
19 Labbaani kwe kumuddamu nti, “Kituufu okumuwa ggwe ne ssimuwa musajja mulala yenna. Beera nange.” 20 Bw’atyo Yakobo n’akolerera Laakeeri emyaka musanvu, naye ne giba ng’ennaku obunaku gy’ali kubanga yamwagala nnyo.
21 Awo Yakobo n’agamba Labbaani nti, “Kale mpa mukazi wange, mmutwale, kubanga ekiseera kye twalagaana nkimazeeko.”
22 Labbaani kwe kukuŋŋaanya abantu b’ekifo ekyo, n’akola embaga. 23 Naye mu kiro Labbaani n’atwala muwala we Leeya n’amuwa Yakobo okumutwala okuba mukazi we.†Abakazi abafumbo beebikkiriranga, nga n’amaaso tegalabika. 24 Labbaani yali awadde Leeya Zirupa amuweerezenga.
25 Bwe bwakya, Yakobo n’alaba nga bamuwadde Leeya. Kwe kugamba Labbaani nti, “Onkoze ki kino? Saakuweereza lwa Laakeeri? Kale lwaki onimbye?” 26 Labbaani n’amuddamu nti, “Mu nsi yaffe tekiri mu buwangwa bwaffe, omuto okusooka omukulu okufumbirwa. 27 Sooka omale n’ono wiiki eno emu, n’oli tugenda kumukuwa; kyokka olimukolerera okumala emyaka emirala musanvu.”
28 Ekyo Yakobo n’akikkiriza, n’amalako wiiki emu eyo, Labbaani n’alyoka amuwa Laakeeri muwala we okuba mukazi we. 29 Labbaani n’awa Laakeeri Biira amuweerezenga. 30 Yakobo n’atwala Laakeeri n’aba mukazi we; n’ayagala Laakeeri okusinga Leeya, n’aweereza Labbaani emyaka egyo emirala omusanvu.
33 N’aba olubuto olulala, n’azaala omwana mulenzi, n’agamba nti, “Kubanga Mukama alabye nga ndi mukyawe, kyavudde ampa omwana owoobulenzi omulala; n’amutuuma erinnya Simyoni.” 34 Ate n’aba olubuto n’azaala omwana mulenzi, n’agamba nti, “Kale kaakano baze ajja kuba bumu nange, kubanga mmuzaalidde abaana abalenzi basatu.” Omwana kyeyava atuumwa Leevi.
35 Era Leeya n’aba olubuto n’azaala omwana wabulenzi, n’agamba nti, “Ku luno nzija kutendereza Mukama,” kyeyava amutuuma Yuda; n’alekayo okuzaala.
