Genesis 33
1 Then Jacob, lifting up his eyes, saw Esau arriving, and with him four hundred men. And he divided the sons of Leah and Rachel, and of both the handmaids.
Ary Jakoba dia nanopy ny masony ka nahatazana fa indro tamy Esao, mitondra efa-jato lahy. Dia nozarazarainy ny zaza ho amin’ i Lea sy Rahely ary ho amin’ ny ankizivavy roa.
2 And he placed the two handmaids and their children at the beginning. Truly, Leah and her sons were in the second place. Then Rachel and Joseph were last.
Ary nataony loha-lalana ny ankizivavy roa sy ny zanany, ary Lea sy ny zanany nanarakaraka, ary Rahely sy Josefa no vodi-lalana.
3 And advancing, he reverenced prostrate on the ground seven times, until his brother approached.
Ary Jakoba nandeha teo alohan’ izy rehetra ka niankohoka impito tamin’ ny tany mandra-pahatongany teo akaikin’ ny rahalahiny.
4 And so Esau ran to meet his brother, and he embraced him. And drawing him by his neck and kissing him, he wept.
Dia nihazakazaka hitsena azy Esao, ary nisakambina ny tendany, dia namihina sy nanoroka azy; ary samy nitomany izy mirahalahy.
5 And lifting up his eyes, he saw the women and their little ones, and he said: “What do these want for themselves?” and “Are they related to you?” He responded, “These are the little ones that God has given as a gift to me, your servant.”
Ary Esao nanopy ny masony ka nahita ny zaza amim-behivavy; dia hoy izy: Iza moa ireto miaraka aminao ireto? Ary hoy kosa Jakoba: Ny zaza izay nomen’ Andriamanitra ny mpanomponao noho ny fahasoavany.
6 Then the handmaids and their sons approached and bowed down.
Dia nanatona ny ankizivavy sy ny zanany ka niankohoka.
7 Likewise Leah, with her sons, came near. And when they had reverenced similarly, last of all, Joseph and Rachel reverenced.
Dia nanatona koa Lea sy ny zanany ka niankohoka; ary farany, dia nanatona koa Josefa sy Rahely ka niankohoka.
8 And Esau said, “What are these companies that I have been meeting?” He responded, “So may I find favor before my lord.”
Ary hoy Esao: Inona moa no hevitr’ ireny antokony rehetra nifanena tamiko ireny? Ary hoy izy: Mba hahitako fitia eto imason’ itompokolahy.
9 But he said, “I have plenty, my brother; let these be for yourself.”
Ary dia hoy Esao: Manam-be ihany aho, ry rahalahiko; aoka ihany ho anao ny anao.
10 And Jacob said: “I beg you, let it not be so. But if I have found favor in your eyes, receive a small present from my hands. For I have looked upon your face as I would look upon the countenance of God. Be gracious to me,
Ary hoy Jakoba: Trarantitra ianao, aza an’ izany; raha mba mahita fitia eto imasonao aho, dia raiso amin’ ny tanako ny zavatra nampanateriko; fa efa nahita ny tavanao aho tahaka ny mahita ny tavan’ Andriamanitra, ary efa sitrakao aho.
11 and take the blessing which I have brought to you, and which God, who bestows all things, has given as a gift to me.” Accepting it reluctantly, at the insistence of his brother,
Trarantitra ianao, raiso re ny saotro izay nampanaterina ho anao; fa efa nanisy soa ahy Andriamanitra, ka manam-be aho. Dia nanery azy izy, ka dia noraisiny ihany ny zavatra.
12 he said, “Let us go on together, and I will accompany you on your journey.”
Ary hoy Esao: Aoka hiainga isika, ka handeha hialoha anao aho.
13 And Jacob said: “My lord, you know that I have with me tender little ones, and sheep, and cows with young. If I cause these to labor too much in walking, all the flocks will die in one day.
Fa hoy Jakoba taminy: Fantatr’ itompokolahy fa mbola osa ny zaza, sady ampianahany ny ondry aman’ osy sy ny omby ato amiko; koa raha hokorodonina indray andro aza ireo, dia ho faty avokoa ny ondry aman’ osy rehetra.
14 May it please my lord to go before his servant. And I will follow gradually in his steps, as much as I see my little ones to be able, until I arrive to my lord in Seir.”
Trarantitra ianao, aoka itompokolahy hialoha ny mpanompony; ary izaho handeha miadana araka izay dian’ ny omby aman’ ondry, izay ho eo alohako, sy ny dian’ ny zaza, mandra-pahatongako any amin’ itompokolahy any Seïra.
15 Esau responded, “I beg you, that at least some of the people who are with me may remain to accompany you on the way.” But he said, “There is no need. I have need of one thing only: to find favor in your sight, my lord.”
Ary hoy Esao: Masìna ianao, aoka ary mba hamelako hiaraka aminao ny olona izay momba ahy. Fa hoy Jakoba: Ahoana no anaovanao izany? Aoka hahita fitia eto imason’ itompokolahy aho.
16 And so Esau returned that day, by the way that he had arrived, to Seir.
Dia niverina androtrizay Esao tamin’ ny lalany ho any Seïra.
17 And Jacob went to Succoth, where, having built a house and pitched tents, he called the name of that place Succoth, that is, ‘Tents.’
Ary Jakoba nifindra nankany Sokota ka nanao trano ho azy ary nanao trano rantsan-kazo maromaro ho an’ ny omby aman’ ondriny; izany no nanaovana ny anaran’ io tany io hoe Sokota.
18 And he crossed over to Salem, a city of the Shechemites, which is in the land of Canaan, after he returned from Mesopotamia of Syria. And he lived near the town.
Ary Jakoba tonga soa aman-tsara tao an-tanàna Sekema, izay eo amin’ ny tany Kanana, rehefa avy tany Mesopotamia izy; dia nitoby tandrifin’ ny tanàna.
19 And he bought the part of the field in which he had pitched his tents from the sons of Hamor, the father of Shechem, for one hundred lambs.
Dia novidiny vola zato tamin’ ny zanak’ i Hamora, rain’ i Sekema, ny tany izay nanorenany ny lainy.
20 And erecting an altar there, he invoked upon it the most strong God of Israel.
Ary nanorina alitara teo izy, ka nataony hoe El-elohe-Isiraely ny anarany.
