Chakruok 33
1 Jakobo notingʼo wangʼe moneno Esau kabiro ka en gi ji mia angʼwen. Kuom mano nopogo nyithindo e kind Lea gi Rael kod jotichne mamon ariyo.
Then Jacob, lifting up his eyes, saw Esau arriving, and with him four hundred men. And he divided the sons of Leah and Rachel, and of both the handmaids.
2 Noketo jotichne mamon ariyo kod nyithindgi nyime, kiluwogi gi Lea kod nyithinde, to Rael gi Josef ema noketo chien.
And he placed the two handmaids and their children at the beginning. Truly, Leah and her sons were in the second place. Then Rachel and Joseph were last.
3 Jakobo owuon notelo nyimgi mi opodho auma nyadibiriyo e nyim Esau owadgi.
And advancing, he reverenced prostrate on the ground seven times, until his brother approached.
4 To Esau noringo oromone Jakobo mokwake; nokwako ngʼute kendo onyodhe mine giywak giduto.
And so Esau ran to meet his brother, and he embraced him. And drawing him by his neck and kissing him, he wept.
5 Eka Esau notingʼo wangʼe malo moneno mon kod nyithindo. Nopenjo niya, “Magi gin ngʼa gini man kodigi?” Jakobo nodwoke niya, “Gin nyithindo ma Nyasaye osemiyo jatichni kuom ngʼwonone.”
And lifting up his eyes, he saw the women and their little ones, and he said: “What do these want for themselves?” and “Are they related to you?” He responded, “These are the little ones that God has given as a gift to me, your servant.”
6 Eka jotichne mamon kod nyithindgi nochopo mopodho auma e nyime.
Then the handmaids and their sons approached and bowed down.
7 Bangʼe Lea kod nyithinde nobiro mopodho auma e nyime. Josef gi Rael bende nochopo mopodho auma e nyime.
Likewise Leah, with her sons, came near. And when they had reverenced similarly, last of all, Joseph and Rachel reverenced.
8 Esau nopenjo niya, “Kweth maduongʼ mane aromogo cha tiendgi angʼo?” Jakobo nodwoke niya, “Ne aorogi mondo gibi gi kwana ngʼwono kuom ruodha.”
And Esau said, “What are these companies that I have been meeting?” He responded, “So may I find favor before my lord.”
9 To Esau nowacho niya, “An gi gik mathoth owadwa. Magi-gi bedgo abeda.”
But he said, “I have plenty, my brother; let these be for yourself.”
10 Jakobo nowachone, “Ooyo, asayi! Ka isengʼwonona to yie ikaw michgi. Nikech neno wangʼi chalo mana gi neno wangʼ Nyasaye, ka koro iserwaka gi ngʼwono kama.
And Jacob said: “I beg you, let it not be so. But if I have found favor in your eyes, receive a small present from my hands. For I have looked upon your face as I would look upon the countenance of God. Be gracious to me,
11 Asayi kaw mich manokelnigo, nikech Nyasaye osebedona mangʼwon kendo an gi gik moko duto madwaro.” Nikech Jakobo noramo, Esau nokawo.
and take the blessing which I have brought to you, and which God, who bestows all things, has given as a gift to me.” Accepting it reluctantly, at the insistence of his brother,
12 Bangʼ mano Esau nowacho ne Jakobo niya, “Waikreuru mondo wadhi kanyakla.”
he said, “Let us go on together, and I will accompany you on your journey.”
13 To Jakobo nodwoke niya, “Ruodha, ingʼeyo ni nyithindogi pod tindo to bende nyaka wapar nyithi rombe kod nyiroye ma pod dhoth. Kaponi osembgi matek odiechiengʼ achiel to jamni duto nyalo tho.
And Jacob said: “My lord, you know that I have with me tender little ones, and sheep, and cows with young. If I cause these to labor too much in walking, all the flocks will die in one day.
14 Kuom mano ruodha akwayi ni tel e nyim misumbani, to aluwi mos mos gi nyithindo kod jamni nyaka achop iri Seir.”
May it please my lord to go before his servant. And I will follow gradually in his steps, as much as I see my little ones to be able, until I arrive to my lord in Seir.”
15 Eka Esau nowachone niya, “We awe joga moko kodi ka.” Jakobo nopenje niya, “Angʼo momiyo idwaro timo kamano? Mad iyiena ayieya ayud ngʼwono e nyim ruodha.”
Esau responded, “I beg you, that at least some of the people who are with me may remain to accompany you on the way.” But he said, “There is no need. I have need of one thing only: to find favor in your sight, my lord.”
16 Kuom mano odiechiengʼno Esau nochako wuodhe ka odok Seir.
And so Esau returned that day, by the way that he had arrived, to Seir.
17 Kata kamano Jakobo nodhi Sukoth, kama nogeroe dalane kendo oloso dipo ne kweth mage mag jamni. Mano ema omiyo iluongo kanyo ni Sukoth (tiende ni abilni).
And Jacob went to Succoth, where, having built a house and pitched tents, he called the name of that place Succoth, that is, ‘Tents.’
18 Bangʼ ka Jakobo nosea Padan Aram, nochopo maber e dala maduongʼ mar Shekem manie piny Kanaan kendo nodak momanyore gi dalano.
And he crossed over to Salem, a city of the Shechemites, which is in the land of Canaan, after he returned from Mesopotamia of Syria. And he lived near the town.
19 Lowo mano gedoe nongʼiewo kuom yawuot Hamor ma wuon Shekem gi fedha madirom mia achiel.
And he bought the part of the field in which he had pitched his tents from the sons of Hamor, the father of Shechem, for one hundred lambs.
20 Kanyo ema nogeroe kendo mar misango kendo nochake ni El-Elohe-Israel (tiende ni Nyasaye ma Nyasach Israel).
And erecting an altar there, he invoked upon it the most strong God of Israel.
