Genesis 33
1 And Jacob lifted up his eyes and looked, and behold, Esau was coming, and with him four hundred men. And he distributed the children to Leah, and to Rachel, and to the two maidservants:
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 maidservants and their children foremost, and Leah and her children after, and Rachel and Joseph hindmost.
Anayika antchito ndi ana awo patsogolo, kenaka nʼkubwera Leya ndi ana ake, ndipo pambuyo pawo Rakele ndi Yosefe.
3 And he passed on before them, and bowed to the earth seven times, until he came near to his brother.
Iye mwini anakhala patsogolo nawerama mpaka kukhudza pansi kasanu ndi kawiri pamene amayandikira mʼbale wake.
4 And Esau ran to meet him, and embraced him, and fell on his neck, and kissed him; and they wept.
Koma Esau anathamanga kukakumana ndi Yakobo ndipo anamukupatira namupsompsona. Onse awiri ankangolira.
5 And he lifted up his eyes and saw the women and the children, and said, Who are these with thee? And he said, The children that God has graciously given thy 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 drew near, they and their children, and they bowed.
Tsono antchito aja anayandikira naweramitsa mitu pansi.
7 And Leah also, with her children, drew near, and they bowed. And lastly Joseph drew near, and Rachel, and they bowed.
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 [meanest] thou by all the drove which I met? And he said, To find favour in the eyes of 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 enough, my brother; let what thou hast be thine.
Koma Esau anati, “Mʼbale wanga, ine ndili nazo kale zambiri. Zinthu zakozi sunga.”
10 And Jacob said, No, I pray thee; if now I have found favour in thine eyes, then receive my gift from my hand; for therefore have I seen thy face, as though I had seen the face of God, and thou hast received me with pleasure.
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 Take, I pray thee, my blessing which has been brought to thee; because God has been gracious to me, and because I have everything. And he urged him, and he took [it].
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 take our journey, and go on, and I will go before thee.
Ndipo Esau anati, “Tiyeni tizipita; nditsagana nanu.”
13 And he said to him, My lord knows that the children are tender, and the suckling sheep and kine are with me; and if they should overdrive them only one day, all the flock would 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, I pray thee, pass on before his servant, and I will drive on at my ease according to the pace of the cattle that is before me, and according to the pace 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, Let me now leave with thee [some] of the people that are with me. And he said, What need? Let me find favour in the eyes of 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 that day on his way to Seir.
Choncho tsiku limenelo Esau anayamba ulendo wobwerera ku Seiri.
17 And Jacob journeyed to Succoth, and built himself a house, and for his cattle he made booths. Therefore the name of the place was called Succoth.
Komabe Yakobo anapita ku Sukoti. Kumeneko anamanga nyumba yake ndi makola a ziweto zake. Nʼchifukwa chake malowa amatchedwa Sukoti.
18 And Jacob came safely [to the] city Shechem, which is in the land of Canaan, when he came from Padan-Aram; and he encamped before 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 had spread his tent, of the hand of the sons of Hamor, Shechem's father, for a hundred kesitahs.
Malo amenewo anagula kwa zidzukulu za Hamori, abambo a Sekemu ndi ndalama 100 zasiliva.
20 And there he set up an altar, and called it El-Elohe-Israel.
Pamalopo anamanganso guwa lansembe, nalitcha Eli Elohe Israeli.
