< 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.
Faiꞌ naa, Yakob nita Esau nema no nononggoꞌ atahori natun haa. Ma ana babanggi ana nara fee se esa-esaꞌ risiꞌ ina nara.
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.
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 And advancing, he reverenced prostrate on the ground seven times, until his brother approached.
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 And so Esau ran to meet his brother, and he embraced him. And drawing him by his neck and kissing him, he wept.
Esau nita odꞌi na ma, ana nelaꞌ neu nandaa no e. Ana holu ma idꞌu e, ma ruꞌa se nggae.
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.”
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 handmaids and their sons approached and bowed down.
Basa naa ma, sao tias nara ro ana nara, rema raloe ao nara neu Esau.
7 Likewise Leah, with her sons, came near. And when they had reverenced similarly, last of all, Joseph and Rachel reverenced.
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 And Esau said, “What are these companies that I have been meeting?” He responded, “So may I find favor before my lord.”
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 But he said, “I have plenty, my brother; let these be for yourself.”
Te Esau nataa nae, “Odꞌiꞌ! Au suꞌi ngga o naeꞌ boe. De afiꞌ fee au saaꞌ boe.”
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,
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 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,
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 he said, “Let us go on together, and I will accompany you on your journey.”
Basa naa ma, Esau olaꞌ nae, “Mete ma taꞌo naa, naa, miote fo ata lao leo! Dei fo au o nggi.”
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.
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 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.”
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 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.”
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 And so Esau returned that day, by the way that he had arrived, to Seir.
Esau rena nala ma, ana lao hela se, de baliꞌ Seir neu.
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.’
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 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.
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 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.
Rae fo Yakob naririi lalaat naa, ana hasa naꞌetuꞌ mia Hemor, Sikem aman. Ana bae no doi fulaꞌ natun esa.
20 And erecting an altar there, he invoked upon it the most strong God of Israel.
Sia naa, ana lutu mbatu mei tutunu-hohotuꞌ. Ana babꞌae mamanaꞌ naa El-Elohe-Israꞌel. Sosoa na ‘Lamatualain naa, Israꞌel Lamatualain na’.
