Genesis 33
1 And Jacob lifting up his eyes, saw Esau coming, and with him four hundred men: and he divided the children of Lia, and of Rachel, and of the two handmaids:
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 both the handmaids and their children foremost: and Lia and her children in the second place: and Rachel and Joseph last.
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 went forward and bowed down with his face to the ground seven times until his brother came near.
Nake we mwene akĩmatongoria, na rĩrĩa aakuhĩrĩirie mũrũ wa nyina, akĩinamĩrĩra, agĩturumithia ũthiũ wake thĩ maita mũgwanja.
4 Then Esau ran to meet his brother, and embraced him: and clasping him fast about the neck, and kissing him, wept.
No Esaũ akĩhanyũka agatũnge Jakubu na akĩmũnyiita, akĩmũhĩmbĩria, akĩmũmumunya. Nao makĩrĩranĩra.
5 And lifting up his eyes, he saw the women and their children, and said: What mean these? And do they belong to thee? He answered: They are the children which God hath given to me 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 Then the handmaids and their children came near, and bowed themselves.
Hĩndĩ ĩyo ndungata icio cia andũ-a-nja na ciana ciacio igĩkuhĩrĩria na makĩinamĩrĩra.
7 Lia also with her children came near, and bowed down in like manner, and last of all Joseph and Rachel bowed down.
Lea na ciana ciake makĩrũmĩrĩra, magĩũka na makĩinamĩrĩra. Marigĩrĩrio, Jusufu na Rakeli magĩũka, o nao makĩinamĩrĩra.
8 And Esau said: What are the droves that I met? He answered: That I might find favour before 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 But he said: I have plenty, my brother, keep what is thine for thyself.
No Esaũ akiuga atĩrĩ, “Mũrũ wa maitũ, niĩ ndĩ na indo cia kũnjigana. Ikara na icio ũrĩ nacio wee mwene.”
10 And Jacob said: Do not so I beseech thee, but if I have found favour in thy eyes, receive a little present at my hands: for I have seen thy face, as if I should have seen the countenance of God: be gracious to me,
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 And take the blessing, which I have brought thee, and which God hath given me, who giveth all things. He took it with much ado at his brother’s earnest pressing him,
Ndagũthaitha ĩtĩkĩra kĩheo kĩu ũreheirwo, tondũ Ngai nĩanjĩkĩte wega, na ndĩ na indo cia kũnjigana.” Na tondũ Jakubu nĩamũringĩrĩirie-rĩ, Esaũ agĩciĩtĩkĩra.
12 And said: Let us go on together, and I will accompany thee in thy journey.
Ningĩ Esaũ akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Nĩtũthiĩ; nĩngũtwarana nawe.”
13 And Jacob said: My lord, thou knowest that I have with me tender children, and sheep, and kine with young: which if I should cause to be overdriven, in one day all the flocks will 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 May it please my lord to go before his servant: and I will follow softly after him, as I shall see my children to be able, until I come to my lord in 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 Esau answered: I beseech thee, that some of the people at least, who are with me, may stay to accompany thee in the way. And he said: There is no necessity: I want nothing else but only to find favour, my lord, in thy sight.
Esaũ akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “No kĩreke ngũtigĩre ndungata imwe ciakwa.” Jakubu akĩmũũria atĩrĩ, “Ũgwĩka ũguo nĩkĩ? Reke niĩ njĩtĩkĩrĩke maitho-inĩ ma mwathi wakwa.”
16 So Esau returned, that day, the way that he came, to Seir.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Esaũ akĩhũndũka mũthenya o ro ũcio agĩthiĩ arorete Seiru.
17 And Jacob came to Socoth: where having built a house, and pitched tents, he called the name of the place Socoth, that is, Tents.
Nowe Jakubu, agĩthiĩ Sukothu, kũrĩa eyakĩire nyũmba, na agĩthondeka ciugũ cia mahiũ make. Nĩkĩo handũ hau hetagwo Sukothu.
18 And he passed over to Salem, a city of the Sichemites, which is in the land of Chanaan, after he returned from Mesopotamia of Syria: and he dwelt by the town:
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 that part of the field, in which he pitched his tents, of the children of Hemor, the father of Sichem for a hundred lambs.
Nake akĩgũra gĩcunjĩ kĩa mũgũnda na betha igana rĩmwe kuuma kũrĩ ariũ a Hamoru ithe wa Shekemu, harĩa aambire hema yake.
20 And raising an altar there, he invoked upon it the most mighty God of Israel.
Agĩaka kĩgongona handũ hau, na agĩgĩĩta Eli-Elohe-Isiraeli.
