< 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.
Jakọbu sì gbójú sókè, ó sì rí Esau àti irinwó ọkùnrin tí wọ́n ń bọ̀, ó sì pín àwọn ọmọ fún Lea, Rakeli àti àwọn ìránṣẹ́bìnrin méjèèjì.
2 He put the maidservants and their children in front, Leah and her children next, and Rachel and Joseph at the rear.
Ó sì ti àwọn ìránṣẹ́bìnrin àti àwọn ọmọ wọn síwájú, Lea àti àwọn ọmọ rẹ̀ sì jẹ ọ̀wọ́ kejì tí ó tẹ̀lé wọn, Rakeli àti Josẹfu sì wà lẹ́yìn pátápátá.
3 But Jacob himself went on ahead and bowed to the ground seven times as he approached his brother.
Jakọbu fúnra rẹ̀ wa lọ síwájú pátápátá, ó sì tẹríba ní ìgbà méje bí ó ti ń súnmọ́ Esau, arákùnrin rẹ̀.
4 Esau, however, ran to him and embraced him, threw his arms around his neck, and kissed him. And they both wept.
Ṣùgbọ́n Esau sáré pàdé Jakọbu, ó sì dì mọ́ ọn, ó rọ̀ mọ́ ọn lọ́rùn, ó sì fẹnukò ó lẹ́nu. Àwọn méjèèjì sì sọkún.
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.”
Nígbà tí Esau sì ṣe àkíyèsí àwọn ìyàwó àti ọmọ Jakọbu, ó béèrè lọ́wọ́ Jakọbu pé, “Ti ta ni àwọn wọ̀nyí?” Jakọbu sì fèsì wí pé, “Èyí ni àwọn ọmọ tí Ọlọ́run nínú àánú rẹ̀ ti fi fún ìránṣẹ́ rẹ.”
6 Then the maidservants and their children approached and bowed down.
Nígbà náà ni àwọn ìránṣẹ́bìnrin àti àwọn ọmọ wọn súnmọ́ tòsí, wọ́n sì tẹríba.
7 Leah and her children also approached and bowed down, and then Joseph and Rachel approached and bowed down.
Lẹ́yìn náà ni Lea àti àwọn ọmọ rẹ̀ pẹ̀lú dé, wọ́n sì tún tẹríba. Ní ìkẹyìn ni Josẹfu àti Rakeli dé, wọ́n sì tún tẹríba pẹ̀lú.
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.
Esau sì béèrè pé, “Kí ni èrò rẹ tí o fi to àwọn ọ̀wọ̀ọ̀wọ́ tí mo pàdé wọ̀nyí?” Jakọbu dáhùn pé, “Kí n ba le rí ojúrere rẹ ni olúwa mi.”
9 “I already have plenty, my brother,” Esau replied. “Keep what belongs to you.”
Ṣùgbọ́n Esau wí pé, “Tèmi ti tó mi, pa èyí tí o ní mọ́ fún ara rẹ.”
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.
Jakọbu bẹ̀ ẹ́ wí pé, “Rárá bẹ́ẹ̀ kọ́, bí ó bá ṣe pé, mo rí ojúrere rẹ, jọ̀wọ́ gba ọrẹ lọ́wọ́ mi. Bí mo ṣe rí ojú rẹ̀ yìí, ó dàbí wí pé mo rí ojú Ọlọ́run ni báyìí, tí inú rẹ̀ ti dùn sí mi.
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.
Jọ̀wọ́ gba àwọn ohun tí mo mú wá wọ̀nyí lọ́wọ́ mi. Nítorí Ọlọ́run ti fi oore-ọ̀fẹ́ rẹ̀ hàn sí mi, gbogbo ohun tí mo fẹ́ sì ni mo ní.” Nígbà tí Jakọbu sì rọ̀ ọ́ pé Esau gbọdọ̀ gbà wọ́n, Esau sì gbà á.
12 Then Esau said, “Let us be on our way, and I will go ahead of you.”
Nígbà náà ni Esau wí pé, “Jẹ́ kí a máa lọ, n ó sìn ọ.”
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.
Ṣùgbọ́n Jakọbu wí fún un pé, “Ṣe ìwọ náà ṣe àkíyèsí pé ọ̀pọ̀ nínú àwọn ọmọ wọ̀nyí kéré, àwọn màlúù àti àgùntàn pẹ̀lú sì ní àwọn ọmọ kéékèèké. Bí a bá dà wọ́n rìn jìnnà ju bí agbára wọn ṣe mọ lọ, wọ́n lè kú.
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.”
Èmi bẹ̀ ọ́, máa lọ síwájú ìránṣẹ́ rẹ, àwọn ó sì máa rọra bọ̀, títí èmi àti àwọn ọmọ yóò fi dé ọ̀dọ̀ olúwa mi ní Seiri.”
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.”
Esau wí pé, “Jẹ́ kí n fi díẹ̀ sílẹ̀ fún ọ nínú àwọn ọkùnrin mi nígbà náà.” Jakọbu wí pé, “Èéṣe, àní kí n sá à rí ojúrere olúwa mi?”
16 So that day Esau started on his way back to Seir,
Ní ọjọ́ náà gan an ni Esau padà lọ sí Seiri.
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.
Jakọbu sì lọ sí Sukkoti, ó sì kọ́ ilé fún ara rẹ̀, ó sì ṣe ọgbà fún àwọn ẹran. Ìdí èyí ní a fi ń pe ibẹ̀ ní Sukkoti.
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.
Lẹ́yìn ìgbà tí Jakọbu tí Padani-Aramu dé, àlàáfíà ni Jakọbu dé ìlú Ṣekemu ní ilẹ̀ Kenaani, ó sì pàgọ́ sí itòsí ìlú náà.
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.
Ó sì ra ilẹ̀ kan tí ó pàgọ́ sí ni ọgọ́rùn-ún owó fàdákà lọ́wọ́ àwọn ọmọ Hamori tí í ṣe baba Ṣekemu.
20 There he set up an altar and called it El-Elohe-Israel.
Níbẹ̀ ni ó gbé tẹ́ pẹpẹ kan tí ó pè ní El Elohe Israẹli.
