< 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.
Faiꞌ naa, Yakob nita Esau nema no nononggoꞌ atahori natun haa. Ma ana babanggi ana nara fee se esa-esaꞌ risiꞌ ina nara.
2 He put the maidservants and their children in front, Leah and her children next, and Rachel and Joseph at the rear.
Ana fee sao tias nara ro ana nara lao risiꞌ mataꞌ. Basa de, Lea no ana nara, dei fo Rahel no anan Yusuf raꞌabui oe-oeꞌ.
3 But Jacob himself went on ahead and bowed to the ground seven times as he approached his brother.
Te Yakob lao naꞌahuluꞌ basa se. Ara rae deka ro aꞌa na ma, ana sendeꞌ lululangga na ma beꞌutee losa rae a, lao hitu.
4 Esau, however, ran to him and embraced him, threw his arms around his neck, and kissed him. And they both wept.
Esau nita odꞌi na ma, ana nelaꞌ neu nandaa no e. Ana holu ma idꞌu e, ma ruꞌa se nggae.
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.”
Esau nita inaꞌ naa ra ro ana nara, ma natane nae, “Basa atahori ia ra, seka?” Yakob nataa nae, “Naa ra, atahori fo Lamatualain fee au, aꞌa ate na.”
6 Then the maidservants and their children approached and bowed down.
Basa naa ma, sao tias nara ro ana nara, rema raloe ao nara neu Esau.
7 Leah and her children also approached and bowed down, and then Joseph and Rachel approached and bowed down.
Basa de, Lea no ana nara, rema raloe ao nara neu Esau. Mana maꞌabuiꞌ a, Yusuf no ina na Rahel rema raloe ao nara neu Esau.
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.
Boe ma Esau natane nae, “Banda nononggoꞌ fo ho haituaꞌ ra, masud na saa?” Yakob nataa nae, “Taꞌo ia, aꞌa! Au fee basa naa ra neu aꞌa, naa fo aꞌa simbo au no rala teme aoꞌ.”
9 “I already have plenty, my brother,” Esau replied. “Keep what belongs to you.”
Te Esau nataa nae, “Odꞌiꞌ! Au suꞌi ngga o naeꞌ boe. De afiꞌ fee au saaꞌ boe.”
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.
Ma Yakob nataa nae, “Aꞌa afiꞌ taꞌo naa! Aꞌa musi simbo fo dadꞌi bukti aꞌa simbo au no lima ruaꞌ. Te, au ita aꞌa humek faꞌ ra ma, onaꞌ au ita Lamatualain humek.
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.
De au hule no hadat fo simbo au fefee ngga ia. Lamatualain malole na seli neu au, naa de Ana fee basa saa fo au parluꞌ ra.” Yakob kokoe nakandooꞌ a, de nau nda nau sa o, Esau simbo nala se.
12 Then Esau said, “Let us be on our way, and I will go ahead of you.”
Basa naa ma, Esau olaꞌ nae, “Mete ma taꞌo naa, naa, miote fo ata lao leo! Dei fo au o nggi.”
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.
Te Yakob nataa nae, “Afiꞌ, aꞌa! Aꞌa mete neuꞌ ena. Anaꞌ ra feꞌe anadikiꞌ ri, de nda feꞌe laoꞌ beꞌi sa. Ma banda mana bꞌonggi feuꞌ ra o, naeꞌ. Mete ma hita taꞌasusuuꞌ se laoꞌ lai-lai, sia fai esa rala, naa, banda ra bisa mate basa se.
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.”
De malole lenaꞌ aꞌa se lao miꞌihuluꞌ. Dei fo basa hai laoꞌ koe-koe miꞌibuit. Losa naa fo, au eti seꞌu aꞌa sia Seir.”
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.”
Boe ma, Esau olaꞌ fai nae, “Mete ma taꞌo naa, naa, au lao hela atahori nggara ruma ro nggo fo ratudꞌu hei dalaꞌ.” Te Yakob nae, “Afiꞌ tao ia-naa, aꞌa! Sadꞌi au bubꞌuluꞌ aꞌa simbo au ena, naa, au umuhoꞌo.”
16 So that day Esau started on his way back to Seir,
Esau rena nala ma, ana lao hela se, de baliꞌ Seir neu.
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.
Te Yakob lao Sukot neu. Sia naa, ana tao ume, ma lalaet fee banda nara. Naa de, ara babꞌae mamanaꞌ naa Sukot (sosoan ‘ume neꞌetataaꞌ’).
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.
Neu mateꞌe na ma, Yakob se losa no masodꞌaꞌ mia Padan Aram risiꞌ kambo Sikem sia nusa Kanaꞌan. Boe ma ara raririi lalaat, de leo deka kamboꞌ naa.
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.
Rae fo Yakob naririi lalaat naa, ana hasa naꞌetuꞌ mia Hemor, Sikem aman. Ana bae no doi fulaꞌ natun esa.
20 There he set up an altar and called it El-Elohe-Israel.
Sia naa, ana lutu mbatu mei tutunu-hohotuꞌ. Ana babꞌae mamanaꞌ naa El-Elohe-Israꞌel. Sosoa na ‘Lamatualain naa, Israꞌel Lamatualain na’.
