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:
Ary Jakoba dia nanopy ny masony ka nahatazana fa indro tamy Esao, mitondra efa-jato lahy. Dia nozarazarainy ny zaza ho amin’ i Lea sy Rahely ary ho amin’ ny ankizivavy roa.
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.
Ary nataony loha-lalana ny ankizivavy roa sy ny zanany, ary Lea sy ny zanany nanarakaraka, ary Rahely sy Josefa no vodi-lalana.
3 And he went forward and bowed down with his face to the ground seven times until his brother came near.
Ary Jakoba nandeha teo alohan’ izy rehetra ka niankohoka impito tamin’ ny tany mandra-pahatongany teo akaikin’ ny rahalahiny.
4 Then Esau ran to meet his brother, and embraced him: and clasping him fast about the neck, and kissing him, wept.
Dia nihazakazaka hitsena azy Esao, ary nisakambina ny tendany, dia namihina sy nanoroka azy; ary samy nitomany izy mirahalahy.
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.
Ary Esao nanopy ny masony ka nahita ny zaza amim-behivavy; dia hoy izy: Iza moa ireto miaraka aminao ireto? Ary hoy kosa Jakoba: Ny zaza izay nomen’ Andriamanitra ny mpanomponao noho ny fahasoavany.
6 Then the handmaids and their children came near, and bowed themselves.
Dia nanatona ny ankizivavy sy ny zanany ka niankohoka.
7 Lia also with her children came near, and bowed down in like manner, and last of all Joseph and Rachel bowed down.
Dia nanatona koa Lea sy ny zanany ka niankohoka; ary farany, dia nanatona koa Josefa sy Rahely ka niankohoka.
8 And Esau said: What are the droves that I met? He answered: That I might find favour before my lord.
Ary hoy Esao: Inona moa no hevitr’ ireny antokony rehetra nifanena tamiko ireny? Ary hoy izy: Mba hahitako fitia eto imason’ itompokolahy.
9 But he said: I have plenty, my brother, keep what is thine for thyself.
Ary dia hoy Esao: Manam-be ihany aho, ry rahalahiko; aoka ihany ho anao ny anao.
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,
Ary hoy Jakoba: Trarantitra ianao, aza an’ izany; raha mba mahita fitia eto imasonao aho, dia raiso amin’ ny tanako ny zavatra nampanateriko; fa efa nahita ny tavanao aho tahaka ny mahita ny tavan’ Andriamanitra, ary efa sitrakao aho.
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,
Trarantitra ianao, raiso re ny saotro izay nampanaterina ho anao; fa efa nanisy soa ahy Andriamanitra, ka manam-be aho. Dia nanery azy izy, ka dia noraisiny ihany ny zavatra.
12 And said: Let us go on together, and I will accompany thee in thy journey.
Ary hoy Esao: Aoka hiainga isika, ka handeha hialoha anao aho.
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.
Fa hoy Jakoba taminy: Fantatr’ itompokolahy fa mbola osa ny zaza, sady ampianahany ny ondry aman’ osy sy ny omby ato amiko; koa raha hokorodonina indray andro aza ireo, dia ho faty avokoa ny ondry aman’ osy rehetra.
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.
Trarantitra ianao, aoka itompokolahy hialoha ny mpanompony; ary izaho handeha miadana araka izay dian’ ny omby aman’ ondry, izay ho eo alohako, sy ny dian’ ny zaza, mandra-pahatongako any amin’ itompokolahy any Seïra.
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.
Ary hoy Esao: Masìna ianao, aoka ary mba hamelako hiaraka aminao ny olona izay momba ahy. Fa hoy Jakoba: Ahoana no anaovanao izany? Aoka hahita fitia eto imason’ itompokolahy aho.
16 So Esau returned, that day, the way that he came, to Seir.
Dia niverina androtrizay Esao tamin’ ny lalany ho any Seïra.
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.
Ary Jakoba nifindra nankany Sokota ka nanao trano ho azy ary nanao trano rantsan-kazo maromaro ho an’ ny omby aman’ ondriny; izany no nanaovana ny anaran’ io tany io hoe Sokota.
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:
Ary Jakoba tonga soa aman-tsara tao an-tanàna Sekema, izay eo amin’ ny tany Kanana, rehefa avy tany Mesopotamia izy; dia nitoby tandrifin’ ny tanàna.
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.
Dia novidiny vola zato tamin’ ny zanak’ i Hamora, rain’ i Sekema, ny tany izay nanorenany ny lainy.
20 And raising an altar there, he invoked upon it the most mighty God of Israel.
Ary nanorina alitara teo izy, ka nataony hoe El-elohe-Isiraely ny anarany.
