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:
Awo Yakobo n’ayimusa amaaso ge n’alaba Esawu ng’ajja ng’ali n’abasajja ebikumi bina. Yakobo n’alyoka ayawulamu abaana abaali ne Leeya ne Laakeeri awamu n’abaweereza be abakazi ababiri.
2 and he put the maidservants and their children foremost, and Leah and her children after, and Rachel and Joseph hindmost.
Abaweereza n’abaana baabwe ne bakulembera, Leeya n’abaana be ne baddako, Laakeeri ne Yusufu ne basembayo.
3 And he passed on before them, and bowed to the earth seven times, until he came near to his brother.
Ye Yakobo ng’abakulembedde, nga bw’avuunama ku ttaka emirundi musanvu, okutuusa lwe yatuuka okumpi ne muganda we.
4 And Esau ran to meet him, and embraced him, and fell on his neck, and kissed him; and they wept.
Naye Esawu n’adduka okumusisinkana, n’amulamusa ng’amugwa mu kifuba n’amunywegera; bombi ne bakaaba.
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.
Esawu bwe yayimusa amaaso ge n’alaba abakazi n’abaana, n’abuuza Yakobo nti, “Bano baani abali naawe?” Yakobo n’amuddamu nti, “Be baana Katonda baawadde omuddu wo mu kisa kye.”
6 And the maidservants drew near, they and their children, and they bowed.
Awo abaweereza be abakazi n’abaana baabwe ne basembera, ne bavuunama, mu ngeri y’emu.
7 And Leah also, with her children, drew near, and they bowed. And lastly Joseph drew near, and Rachel, and they bowed.
Leeya n’abaana be nabo ne basembera ne bavuunama. Oluvannyuma Yusufu ne Laakeeri ne basembera nabo ne bavuunama.
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.
Esawu n’abuuza Yakobo nti, “Otegeezaaki olwa bino byonna bye nsanze?” Yakobo n’addamu nti, “Lwa kufuna kusaasirwa kwa mukama wange.”
9 And Esau said, I have enough, my brother; let what thou hast be thine.
Naye ye Esawu n’amugamba nti, “Bye nnina bimmala, muganda wange, by’olina beera nabyo.”
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 n’amuddamu nti, “Nedda nkwegayiridde, obanga nfunye okusaasirwa mu maaso go, kale kkiriza ekirabo kyange ekivudde mu ngalo zange. Kubanga ddala okulaba ku maaso go kiri ng’okulaba amaaso ga Katonda, olw’ekisa ekyo ky’onnyaniririzzaamu.
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].
Nkwegayiridde kkiriza ekirabo kyange ekikuleeteddwa, kubanga Katonda andaze ekisa kye, era siri mu bwetaavu.” Bw’atyo Esawu n’akikkiriza.
12 And he said, Let us take our journey, and go on, and I will go before thee.
Awo Esawu n’agamba nti, “Kale tutambule, nze nzija okukukulemberamu.”
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.
Naye Yakobo n’amuddamu nti, “Mukama wange amanyi nti abaana banafu, era n’ebisibo biyonsa, era singa bitambuzibwa awatali busaasizi bijja kufa.
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.
Mukama wange k’aleke omuddu we, nze nzija kujja mpola, okusinziira ku ntambula y’ebisolo ebikulembedde, era ne ku ntambula y’abaana, okutuusa lwe ndituuka mu Seyiri.”
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.
Awo Esawu n’agamba Yakobo nti, “Kale ka ndeke abamu ku basajja abali nange.” Naye Yakobo n’amuddamu nti, “Tekyetaagisa. Kale nsaba ekisa mu maaso ga mukama wange.”
16 And Esau returned that day on his way to Seir.
Bw’atyo Esawu n’addayo ku lunaku olwo mu Seyiri.
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.
Naye Yakobo n’alaga mu Sukkosi, ne yeezimbira ennyumba, n’azimbira n’ensolo ebisiisira; ekifo ekyo kyekiva kiyitibwa Sukkosi.
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.
Era Yakobo n’atuuka mirembe mu kibuga Sekemu, mu nsi ya Kanani, ng’ava e Padanalaamu, n’asiisira okwolekera ekibuga.
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.
Abaana ba Kamoli kitaawe wa Sekemu ne bamuguza ekitundu mwe yasiisira, n’abasasula ebitundu bya ffeeza kikumi.
20 And there he set up an altar, and called it El-Elohe-Israel.
N’azimbira eyo ekyoto n’akiyita Ekyoto kya Katonda wa Isirayiri.
