Genesis 33
1 Now Jacob looked up and saw Esau coming toward him with four hundred men. So he divided the children among Leah, Rachel, and the two maidservants.
Jekọb lepụrụ anya nʼihu, hụ Ịsọ ka ọ na-abịa, ya na narị ndị ikom anọ ndị so ya. Nʼihi ya, o kesara ụmụntakịrị ndị ahụ, nʼetiti Lịa, na Rechel na ndị odibo nwanyị ya abụọ.
2 He put the maidservants and their children in front, Leah and her children next, and Rachel and Joseph at the rear.
O mere ka ndị odibo nwanyị ya abụọ ahụ na ụmụ ha buru ụzọ, Lịa na ụmụ ya esoro nʼazụ, ebe Rechel na Josef nọ nʼazụ azụ.
3 But Jacob himself went on ahead and bowed to the ground seven times as he approached his brother.
Ma ya onwe ya buru ụzọ na-aga nʼihu ha niile, na-akpọ isiala nye Ịsọ ugboro asaa, tutu ruo mgbe ọ bịarutere nwanne ya nwoke nso.
4 Esau, however, ran to him and embraced him, threw his arms around his neck, and kissed him. And they both wept.
Ma Ịsọ gbaara ọsọ bịakwute ya, makụọ ya, jikụọ ya aka nʼolu, sutu ya ọnụ. Ha abụọ kwara akwa.
5 When Esau looked up and saw the women and children, he asked, “Who are these with you?” Jacob answered, “These are the children God has graciously given your servant.”
Mgbe Ịsọ lelitere anya hụ ndị inyom ndị a na ụmụntakịrị ndị ahụ. Ọ sịrị, “Ndị ole bụ ndị a gị na ha so?” Jekọb sịrị, “Ha bụ ụmụ Chineke sitere nʼamara ya nye ohu gị.”
6 Then the maidservants and their children approached and bowed down.
Mgbe ahụ, ndị odibo nwanyị abụọ na ụmụ ha rutere nso, kpọọ isiala.
7 Leah and her children also approached and bowed down, and then Joseph and Rachel approached and bowed down.
Lịa na ụmụ ya bịarutekwara kpọọ isiala, nʼikpeazụ Rechel na Josef bịara kpọọkwa isiala.
8 “What do you mean by sending this whole company to meet me?” asked Esau. “To find favor in your sight, my lord,” Jacob answered.
Ịsọ sịrị, “Igwe ewu na atụrụ ndị a niile m zutere nʼụzọ, gịnị ka ọ pụtara?” Jekọb zara, “Ha bụ maka ịnata ihuọma nʼaka gị, onyenwe m.”
9 “I already have plenty, my brother,” Esau replied. “Keep what belongs to you.”
Ma Ịsọ sịrị, “Nwanne m nwoke, debere onwe gị ihe i nwere, nʼihi na enwere m akụ hie nne.”
10 But Jacob insisted, “No, please! If I have found favor in your sight, then receive this gift from my hand. For indeed, I have seen your face, and it is like seeing the face of God, since you have received me favorably.
Jekọb sịrị, “E, biko, ọ bụrụ na m achọtala ihuọma nʼanya gị, nara m onyinye ndị a. Nʼihi na ịhụ gị anya dịka ilekwasị Chineke anya nʼihu, nke ka nke, otu a i ji ihu ọcha nabata m.
11 Please accept my gift that was brought to you, because God has been gracious to me and I have all I need.” So Jacob pressed him until he accepted.
Biko nara onyinye ndị ahụ e wetaara gị, nʼihi na Chineke emelara m amara. Enwekwara m ihe ga-ezuru m.” Jekọb kwagidere ya, ọ naara onyinye ndị ahụ.
12 Then Esau said, “Let us be on our way, and I will go ahead of you.”
Mgbe ahụ, Ịsọ sịrị, “Bilienụ ka anyị malite ije ịlaghachi. Aga m esonyere unu.”
13 But Jacob replied, “My lord knows that the children are frail, and I must care for sheep and cattle that are nursing their young. If they are driven hard for even a day, all the animals will die.
Ma Jekọb sịrị ya, “Onyenwe m, ị maara na ụmụntakịrị ndị a adịghị ike, aga m ejikwa nwayọọ chịa ụmụ atụrụ ndị a na ehi ndị na-enye ụmụ ha ara. Ọ bụrụ na a chịa ha nʼike nʼime otu ụbọchị, ụmụ anụmanụ ndị a niile ga-anwụ.
14 Please let my lord go ahead of his servant. I will continue on slowly, at a comfortable pace for the livestock and children, until I come to my lord at Seir.”
Ya mere, ka onyenwe m buru ohu ya ụzọ na-aga, ma ka m jiri nwayọọ nwayọọ na-abịa, dịka ike igwe anụ ndị a na ụmụaka ndị a si dị. Tutu ruo mgbe m ga-ezute onyenwe m na Sia.”
15 “Let me leave some of my people with you,” Esau said. But Jacob replied, “Why do that? Let me find favor in the sight of my lord.”
Ịsọ sịrị, “Ọ bụrụ otu a, ka m hapụrụ gị ụfọdụ ndị a mụ na ha so.” Ma Jekọb sịrị, “Nʼihi gịnị kwanụ? Ka m hụta naanị ihuọma nʼanya onyenwe m.”
16 So that day Esau started on his way back to Seir,
Ịsọ laghachikwara azụ na Sia nʼotu ụbọchị ahụ.
17 but Jacob went on to Succoth, where he built a house for himself and shelters for his livestock; that is why the place was called Succoth.
Ma Jekọb na ezinaụlọ ya jere Sukọt, ebe o wuuru onwe ya ụlọ obibi, wuokwara anụ ụlọ ya ụlọ obibi ha. Ọ bụ nke a mere e ji kpọọ ebe ahụ Sukọt.
18 After Jacob had come from Paddan-aram, he arrived safely at the city of Shechem in the land of Canaan, and he camped just outside the city.
Mgbe Jekọb si Padan Aram lọghachi, o rutere obodo Shekem nke dị nʼala Kenan nʼudo. O mara ụlọ ikwu ya nʼihu obodo ahụ.
19 And the plot of ground where he pitched his tent, he purchased from the sons of Hamor, Shechem’s father, for a hundred pieces of silver.
Ọ zụrụ ala ebe o mara ụlọ ikwu ya nʼaka ụmụ Hamọ, nna Shekem, ọ kwụrụ narị mkpụrụ ọlaọcha maka ala ahụ.
20 There he set up an altar and called it El-Elohe-Israel.
Nʼebe ahụ, o wuru ebe ịchụ aja, kpọọ aha ya El Elohe Izrel.
