3Aho ni ho imikumbi yose yateraniraga, bagatembagaza cya gitare, bakagikura ku munwa w'iriba, bakuhiraintama, bakagisubizaku munwa w'iriba aho gihora.
4Yakobo abaza abungeri ati “Bene data muravahe?”

8Baramusubizabati “Ntitubibasha imikumbi yose itaraterana, bagatembagaza igitare bakagikura ku munwa w'iriba, ni bwo turi bubonekuhiraintama.”
9Akivuganana bo Rasheli azana intama za se, kuko ari weuziragira.
10Nuko Yakobo abonye Rasheli mwene Labani nyirarume, n'intama za Labani nyirarume, yegera iriba, atembagaza cya gitare, agikura ku munwa w'iriba, yuhiraumukumbi wa Labani nyirarume.
11Yakobo asoma Rasheli, araturikaararira.
12Yakobo abwira Rasheli yuko ari mwene wabo wa se, ko ari mwene Rebeka, arirukanka abibwira se.
13Nuko Labani yumvise inkuru ya Yakobo mwishywa we, arirukanka aramusanganira, aramuhobera aramusoma, amujyana iwe. Abwira Labani ibyabaye byose.
14Labani aramubwira ati “Niukuriuri amaraso yanjye n'uburabwanjye.”Abana na weukwezi kumwe.
15Labani abaza Yakobo ati “Kuko uri mwene wacu, ni cyo gitumaunkorera ku busa? Urashaka ko nzaguhemba iki?”
16Kandi Labani yari afite abakobwa babiri:umukuruyitwaga Leya,umutoyitwaga Rasheli.
17Leya yari afite amaso atabengerana, ariko Rasheli yari mwiza wese, no mu maso ari heza.
18Yakobo abenguka Rasheli asubizaLabani ati “Ndagutendera imyaka irindwi,uzanshyingire Rasheliumukobwa wawe muto.”
19Labani aramusubizaati “Kumuguhabiruta kumuhaundi muntu wese, gumanananjye.”
20Nuko Yakobo atendera imyaka irindwi kugirango ahabwe Rasheli, imuhwanira n'iminsi mike ku bw'urukundo amukunze.
21Yakobo atebutsa kuri Labani ati “Nshyingiraumugeniwanjye, murongore kuko ndangije iminsi yanjye.”
22Labani atora abakwe baho bose, arabatekera arabagaburira.
23Nimugoroba azana Leyaumukobwa we aramumushyingira, aramurongora.
24Labani atanga Zilupaumujawe, amuhaumukobwa we Leya ho indongoranyo.
25Mu gitondo Yakobo abona ari Leya. Abaza Labani ati “Wangize ibiki? Rasheli si we natendeye? Ni iki gitumyeundiganya utyo?”
26Labani aramusubizaati “Iwacu ntibagenza batyo, gushyingiraumutobasizeumukuru.
27Mara iminsi irindwi y'uwo, tubonekugushyingirira n'uriyaiyindi myaka irindwiuzatenda.”
