Genesis 33
1 And Jacob lifted up his eyes, and saw, and behold! Esau his brother coming, and four hundred men with him; and Jacob divided the children to Lea and to Rachel, and the two handmaidens.
Yakobo atakweza maso ake anaona Esau akubwera ndi anthu ake 400. Choncho ana ake anawagawira Leya, Rakele ndi antchito awiri aja.
2 And he put the two handmaidens and their children with the first, and Lea and her children behind, and Rachel and Joseph last.
Anayika antchito ndi ana awo patsogolo, kenaka nʼkubwera Leya ndi ana ake, ndipo pambuyo pawo Rakele ndi Yosefe.
3 But he advanced himself before them, and did reverence to the ground seven times, until he drew near to his brother.
Iye mwini anakhala patsogolo nawerama mpaka kukhudza pansi kasanu ndi kawiri pamene amayandikira mʼbale wake.
4 And Esau ran on to meet him, and embraced him, and fell on his neck, and kissed him; and they both wept.
Koma Esau anathamanga kukakumana ndi Yakobo ndipo anamukupatira namupsompsona. Onse awiri ankangolira.
5 And Esau looked up and saw the women and the children, and said, What are these to you? And he said, The children with which God has mercifully blessed your servant.
Kenaka Esau ataona amayi ndi ana awo anamufunsa Yakobo kuti, “Kodi anthu amene uli nawowa ndi a ndani?” Yakobo anayankha kuti, “Awa ndi ana amene Mulungu, mwa kukoma mtima kwake, wapereka kwa mtumiki wanune.”
6 And the maidservants and their children drew near and did reverence.
Tsono antchito aja anayandikira naweramitsa mitu pansi.
7 And Lea and her children drew near and did reverence; and after this drew near Rachel and Joseph, and did reverence.
Kenaka, Leya ndi ana ake anabwera. Nawonso anaweramitsa mitu pansi. Potsiriza pa onse anabwera Yosefe ndi Rakele naweramitsanso mitu yawo pansi.
8 And he said, What are these things to you, all these companies that I have met? And he said, That your servant might find grace in your sight, my lord.
Esau anafunsa kuti, “Kodi gulu la ziweto ndakumana nalo lija ndi layani?” Yakobo anayankha nati, “Mbuye wanga, gulu lija ndi lanu kuti mundikomere mtima.”
9 And Esau said, I have much, my brother; keep your own.
Koma Esau anati, “Mʼbale wanga, ine ndili nazo kale zambiri. Zinthu zakozi sunga.”
10 And Jacob said, If I have found grace in your sight, receive the gifts through my hands; therefore have I seen your face, as if any one should see the face of God, and you shall be well-pleased with me.
Yakobo anati, “Chonde musatero. Ngati mwandikomera mtima, landirani mphatso yangayi kuchokera kwa ine. Pakuti ndi mmene mwandirandira bwinomu, ine ndikamaona nkhope yanu ndikuchita ngati ndikuona nkhope ya Mulungu.
11 Receive my blessings, which I have brought you, because God has had mercy on me, and I have all things; and he constrained him, and he took [them].
Chonde, landirani mphatso imene ndakutengeraniyi, popeza Mulungu wandikomera mtima kwambiri moti ndili ndi zonse zimene ndizifuna.” Ndipo popeza kuti Yakobo anamuwumiriza, Esau analandira.
12 And he said, Let us depart, and proceed right onward.
Ndipo Esau anati, “Tiyeni tizipita; nditsagana nanu.”
13 And he said to him, My lord knows, that the children are very tender, and the flocks and the herds with me are with young; if then I shall drive them hard one day, all the cattle will die.
Koma Yakobo anati kwa iye, “Mbuye wanga, inu mudziwa kuti anawa ndi a nthete ndiponso ndiyenera kusamalira nkhosa ndi ngʼombe zimene zikuyamwitsa ana awo. Ngati ndizimenya kuti zifulumire, tsiku limodzi lokha nyamazo zidzafa.
14 Let my lord go on before his servant, and I shall have strength on the road according to the ease of the journey before me, and according to the strength of the children, until I come to my lord to Seir.
Choncho, mbuye wanga lolani kuti mutsogole. Ine ndiziyenda pangʼonopangʼono pambuyo pa ziwetozi ndi anawa mpaka ndikafika ku Seiri.”
15 And Esau said, I will leave with you some of the people who are with me. And he said, Why so? it is enough that I have found favour before you, [my] lord.
Esau anati, “Ndiye bwanji ndikusiyireko ena mwa anthu anga.” Koma Yakobo anati, “Koma muchitiranji zimenezi? Chachikulu nʼkuti mwandilandira bwino, mbuye wanga.”
16 And Esau returned on that day on his journey to Seir.
Choncho tsiku limenelo Esau anayamba ulendo wobwerera ku Seiri.
17 And Jacob departs to his tents; and he made for himself there habitations, and for his cattle he made booths; therefore he called the name of that place, Booths.
Komabe Yakobo anapita ku Sukoti. Kumeneko anamanga nyumba yake ndi makola a ziweto zake. Nʼchifukwa chake malowa amatchedwa Sukoti.
18 And Jacob came to Salem, a city of Secima, which is in the land of Chanaan, when he departed out of Mesopotamia of Syria, and took up a position in front of the city.
Mmene ankabwerera kuchokera ku Padanaramu, Yakobo anafika ku Salemu, mzinda wa Sekemu ku Kanaani. Anamanga msasa pamalopo moyangʼanana ndi mzindawo.
19 And he bought the portion of the field, where he pitched his tent, of Emmor the father of Sychem, for a hundred lambs.
Malo amenewo anagula kwa zidzukulu za Hamori, abambo a Sekemu ndi ndalama 100 zasiliva.
20 And he set up there an altar, and called on the God of Israel.
Pamalopo anamanganso guwa lansembe, nalitcha Eli Elohe Israeli.
