< Genesis 33 >

1 Then Jacob, lifting up his eyes, saw Esau coming with his four hundred men. So he made a division of the children between Leah and Rachel and the two women-servants.
Te vaengah Jakob loh a mik huel tih a sawt hatah Esau neh a taengkah hlang ya li te tarha a pawk pah. Te dongah camoe rhoek te Leah taengah khaw, Rakhel taengah khaw, a imom rhoi taengah a rhek.
2 He put the servants and their children in front, Leah and her children after them, and Rachel and Joseph at the back.
Te phoeiah salnu rhoek neh amih kah a ca rhoek a lamhma sak tih Leah neh a rhoek loh a hmaithawn. Rakhel neh Joseph te lamhnuk la a khueh.
3 And he himself, going before them, went down on his face to the earth seven times till he came near his brother.
Te phoeiah amah te amih hmai la cet tih a maya taeng a pha due diklai la voei rhih bakop.
4 Then Esau came running up to him, and folding him in his arms, gave him a kiss: and the two of them were overcome with weeping.
Tedae anih te doe ham Esau yong tih a rhawn ah a kop uh rhoi, mok uh rhoi tih rhap rhoi.
5 Then Esau, lifting up his eyes, saw the women and the children, and said, Who are these with you? And he said, The children whom God in his mercy has given to your servant.
Te vaengah a dan hatah huta rhoek neh camoe rhoek te a hmuh tih, “Nang taengkah rhoek he u rhoek lae?” a ti nah dae, “Pathen loh na sal taengah n'rhen nah camoe rhoek ni,” a ti nah.
6 Then the servants and their children came near, and went down on their faces.
Te vaengah a salnu rhoek neh a ca rhoek te thoeih uh tih bakop uh.
7 And Leah came near with her children, and then Joseph and Rachel, and they did the same.
Te phoeiah Leah neh a ca rhoek khaw thoeih uh tih a bakop uh vaengah Joseph neh Rakhel khaw thoeih tih bakop rhoi.
8 And he said, What were all those herds which I saw on the way? And Jacob said, They were an offering so that I might have grace in my lord's eyes.
Te dongah Esau loh, “Lambong boeih ka hum he, metlam na om te,” a ti nah. Te dongah, “Ka boeipa mik ah mikdaithen dang ham ni,” a ti nah.
9 But Esau said, I have enough; keep what is yours, my brother, for yourself.
Tedae Esau loh, “Ka mana, kamah taengah muep om ta; namah taengkah te namah ham om saeh,” a ti nah.
10 And Jacob said, Not so; but if I have grace in your eyes, take them as a sign of my love, for I have seen your face as one may see the face of God, and you have been pleased with me.
Jakob loh, “Pawh, na mikhmuh ah mikdaithen la ka tueng mai khaming. Na maelhmai he Pathen maelhmai a hmuh bangla kam hmuh. Kai nan moeithen banghui la ka kut lamkah ka khosaa he lo mai.
11 Take my offering then, with my blessing; for God has been very good to me and I have enough: so at his strong request, he took it.
Pathen loh kai n'rhen tih kai ham a cungkuem a khueh dongah kai kah yoethennah nang taengla kang khuen te doe mai,” a ti nah tih amh te a hloep daengah a doe pah.
12 And he said, Let us go on our journey together, and I will go in front.
Te phoeiah, “Ceh, cet uh pawn sih lamtah nang hnuk ah ka lo eh?,” a ti nah.
13 But Jacob said, My lord may see that the children are only small, and there are young ones in my flocks and herds: one day's over-driving will be the destruction of all the flock.
Tedae Jakob loh, “Ka boeipa camoe rhoek te mongkawt uh pueng tih ka taengah boiva neh saelhung cacun khaw om tila na ming. Amih te hnin at ah rhenten kam vai koinih boiva loh boeih duek uh ni.
14 Do you, my lord, go on before your servant; I will come on slowly, at the rate at which the cattle and the children are able to go, till I come to my lord at Seir.
Ka boeipa te a sal hmai ah ana cet mai saeh. Kai tah ka mikhmuh kah bitat dongkah khokan neh, camoe rhoek kah khokan neh, vawlhvawlh kang khool vetih Seir kah ka boeipa taeng hil ka lo eh?,” a ti nah.
15 And Esau said, Then keep some of my men with you. And he said, What need is there for that, if my lord is pleased with me?
Te dongah Esau loh, “Ka pilnam he nang taengah ka khueh mai eh ne,” a ti nah. Tedae, “Balae tih, ka boeipa kah mikhmuh ah mikdaithen ka dang mai mako,” a ti nah.
16 So Esau, turning back that day, went on his way to Seir.
Te dongah Esau khaw amah tekah khohnin ah amah longpuei ah Seir la bal.
17 And Jacob went on to Succoth, where he made a house for himself and put up tents for his cattle: for this reason the place was named Succoth.
Tedae Jakob loh Sukkoth la cet tih amah ham im a sak phoeiah a boiva ham pohlip a saii. Te dongah te hmuen ming te Sukkoth la a khue.
18 So Jacob came safely from Paddan-aram to the town of Shechem in the land of Canaan, and put up his tents near the town.
Te phoeiah Jakob loh Paddanaram lamloh hlah uh. Kanaan diklai Shekhem khopuei te sading la a pha tih khopuei imdan ah rhaeh.
19 And for a hundred bits of money he got from the children of Hamor, the builder of Shechem, the field in which he had put up his tents.
Te vaengah a dap tuk hmuen te Shekhem napa Hamor ca rhoek kut lamkah khamyai rhoek te tangka yakhat neh a lai.
20 And there he put up an altar, naming it El, the God of Israel.
Te dongah hmueihtuk pahoi a suem tih El Elohim Israel a sui.
