And Jacob lifteth up his eyes, and looketh, and lo, Esau is coming, and with him four hundred men; and he divideth the children unto Leah, and unto Rachel, and unto the two maid-servants;

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 he lifteth up his eyes, and seeth the women and the children, and saith, 'What [are] these to thee?' And he saith, 'The children with whom God hath favoured thy servant.'

and Leah also draweth nigh, and her children, and they bow themselves; and afterwards Joseph hath drawn nigh with Rachel, and they bow themselves.
8 Esau nopenjo niya, “Kweth maduongʼ mane aromogo cha tiendgi angʼo?” Jakobo nodwoke niya, “Ne aorogi mondo gibi gi kwana ngʼwono kuom ruodha.”
And he saith, 'What to thee [is] all this camp which I have met?' and he saith, 'To find grace in the eyes of my lord.'
9 To Esau nowacho niya, “An gi gik mathoth owadwa. Magi-gi bedgo abeda.”
And Esau saith, 'I have abundance, my brother, let it be to thyself that which thou hast.'
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 saith, 'Nay, I pray thee, if, I pray thee, I have found grace in thine eyes, then thou hast received my present from my hand, because that I have seen thy face, as the seeing of the face of God, and thou art pleased with me;
11 Asayi kaw mich manokelnigo, nikech Nyasaye osebedona mangʼwon kendo an gi gik moko duto madwaro.” Nikech Jakobo noramo, Esau nokawo.
receive, I pray thee, my blessing, which is brought to thee, because God hath favoured me, and because I have all [things];' and he presseth on him, and he receiveth,
12 Bangʼ mano Esau nowacho ne Jakobo niya, “Waikreuru mondo wadhi kanyakla.”
and saith, 'Let us journey and go on, and I go on before thee.'
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 he saith unto him, 'My lord knoweth that the children [are] tender, and the suckling flock and the herd [are] with me; when they have beaten them one day, then hath all the flock died.
14 Kuom mano ruodha akwayi ni tel e nyim misumbani, to aluwi mos mos gi nyithindo kod jamni nyaka achop iri Seir.”
Let my lord, I pray thee, pass over before his servant, and I — I lead on gently, according to the foot of the work which [is] before me, and to the foot of the children, until that I come unto my lord, to 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.”
And Esau saith, 'Let me, I pray thee, place with thee some of the people who [are] with me;' and he said, 'Why [is] this? I find grace in the eyes of my lord.'
16 Kuom mano odiechiengʼno Esau nochako wuodhe ka odok Seir.
And turn back on that day doth Esau on his way 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 hath journeyed to Succoth, and buildeth to himself a house, and for his cattle hath made booths, therefore hath he called the name of the place Succoth.
18 Bangʼ ka Jakobo nosea Padan Aram, nochopo maber e dala maduongʼ mar Shekem manie piny Kanaan kendo nodak momanyore gi dalano.
And Jacob cometh in to Shalem, a city of Shechem, which [is] in the land of Canaan, in his coming from Padan-Aram, and encampeth before the city,
19 Lowo mano gedoe nongʼiewo kuom yawuot Hamor ma wuon Shekem gi fedha madirom mia achiel.
and he buyeth the portion of the field where he hath stretched out his tent, from the hand of the sons of Hamor, father of Shechem, for a hundred kesitah;
20 Kanyo ema nogeroe kendo mar misango kendo nochake ni El-Elohe-Israel (tiende ni Nyasaye ma Nyasach Israel).
and he setteth up there an altar, and proclaimeth at it God — the God of Israel.
