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:
Na rĩrĩ, Jakubu agĩtiira maitho, akĩona Esaũ agĩũka arĩ na andũ ake magana mana; nĩ ũndũ ũcio akĩgayania ciana kũrĩ Lea na Rakeli na kũrĩ ndungata iria igĩrĩ cia andũ-a-nja.
2 and he put the maidservants and their children foremost, and Leah and her children after, and Rachel and Joseph hindmost.
Akĩiga ndungata cia andũ-a-nja na ciana ciacio mbere, nake Lea na ciana ciake makĩrũmĩrĩra, nake Rakeli na Jusufu makĩrigia thuutha.
3 And he passed on before them, and bowed to the earth seven times, until he came near to his brother.
Nake we mwene akĩmatongoria, na rĩrĩa aakuhĩrĩirie mũrũ wa nyina, akĩinamĩrĩra, agĩturumithia ũthiũ wake thĩ maita mũgwanja.
4 And Esau ran to meet him, and embraced him, and fell on his neck, and kissed him; and they wept.
No Esaũ akĩhanyũka agatũnge Jakubu na akĩmũnyiita, akĩmũhĩmbĩria, akĩmũmumunya. Nao makĩrĩranĩra.
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.
Ningĩ Esaũ agĩtiira maitho akĩona atumia na ciana. Akĩũria Jakubu atĩrĩ, “Andũ aya mũrĩ nao nĩ a ũ?” Jakubu agĩcookia atĩrĩ, “Ici nĩ ciana iria Ngai aheete ndungata yaku nĩ ũndũ wa ũtugi wake.”
6 And the maidservants drew near, they and their children, and they bowed.
Hĩndĩ ĩyo ndungata icio cia andũ-a-nja na ciana ciacio igĩkuhĩrĩria na makĩinamĩrĩra.
7 And Leah also, with her children, drew near, and they bowed. And lastly Joseph drew near, and Rachel, and they bowed.
Lea na ciana ciake makĩrũmĩrĩra, magĩũka na makĩinamĩrĩra. Marigĩrĩrio, Jusufu na Rakeli magĩũka, o nao makĩinamĩrĩra.
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.
Esaũ akĩũria atĩrĩ, “Nĩ kĩĩ gĩtũmi gĩa kũndũmĩra ikundi icio ndatũnga?” Nake Jakubu agĩcookia atĩrĩ, “Nĩgeetha njĩtĩkĩrĩke maitho-inĩ maku, wee mwathi wakwa.”
9 And Esau said, I have enough, my brother; let what thou hast be thine.
No Esaũ akiuga atĩrĩ, “Mũrũ wa maitũ, niĩ ndĩ na indo cia kũnjigana. Ikara na icio ũrĩ nacio wee mwene.”
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.
Jakubu akiuga atĩrĩ, “Aca, ndagũthaitha! Angĩkorwo nĩnjĩtĩkĩrĩkĩte maitho-inĩ maku-rĩ, amũkĩra kĩheo gĩkĩ kuuma kũrĩ niĩ. Nĩ ũndũ kuona ũthiũ waku no ta kuona ũthiũ wa Ngai, tondũ nĩ wanyamũkĩra na gĩkeno.
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].
Ndagũthaitha ĩtĩkĩra kĩheo kĩu ũreheirwo, tondũ Ngai nĩanjĩkĩte wega, na ndĩ na indo cia kũnjigana.” Na tondũ Jakubu nĩamũringĩrĩirie-rĩ, Esaũ agĩciĩtĩkĩra.
12 And he said, Let us take our journey, and go on, and I will go before thee.
Ningĩ Esaũ akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Nĩtũthiĩ; nĩngũtwarana nawe.”
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.
No Jakubu akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Mwathi wakwa nĩoĩ atĩ twana tũtũ tũtirĩ na hinya, na no nginya menyerere ngʼondu na ngʼombe iria irongithia. Ingĩtwarwo na ihenya o na mũthenya ũmwe, nyamũ ciothe no ikue.
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.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio mwathi wakwa nĩathiiage mbere ya ndungata yake, na niĩ thiĩ o kahora kũringana na mũthiĩre wa ikundi ici, o na wa ciana, nginya rĩrĩa ngaakinya kwa mwathi wakwa kũu Seiru.”
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.
Esaũ akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “No kĩreke ngũtigĩre ndungata imwe ciakwa.” Jakubu akĩmũũria atĩrĩ, “Ũgwĩka ũguo nĩkĩ? Reke niĩ njĩtĩkĩrĩke maitho-inĩ ma mwathi wakwa.”
16 And Esau returned that day on his way to Seir.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Esaũ akĩhũndũka mũthenya o ro ũcio agĩthiĩ arorete Seiru.
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.
Nowe Jakubu, agĩthiĩ Sukothu, kũrĩa eyakĩire nyũmba, na agĩthondeka ciugũ cia mahiũ make. Nĩkĩo handũ hau hetagwo Sukothu.
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.
Thuutha wa Jakubu kuuma Padani-Aramu, agĩkinya o wega itũũra-inĩ rĩrĩa inene rĩa Shekemu kũu Kaanani, na akĩamba hema hakuhĩ na itũũra rĩu inene.
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.
Nake akĩgũra gĩcunjĩ kĩa mũgũnda na betha igana rĩmwe kuuma kũrĩ ariũ a Hamoru ithe wa Shekemu, harĩa aambire hema yake.
20 And there he set up an altar, and called it El-Elohe-Israel.
Agĩaka kĩgongona handũ hau, na agĩgĩĩta Eli-Elohe-Isiraeli.
