< Genesis 33 >

1 Jacob saw Esau in the distance, coming towards him with four hundred men. So he split up the children between Leah, Rachel and the two personal maids.
Faiꞌ naa, Yakob nita Esau nema no nononggoꞌ atahori natun haa. Ma ana babanggi ana nara fee se esa-esaꞌ risiꞌ ina nara.
2 He placed the two personal maids with their children first, then Leah and her children, and Rachel and Joseph last.
Ana fee sao tias nara ro ana nara lao risiꞌ mataꞌ. Basa de, Lea no ana nara, dei fo Rahel no anan Yusuf raꞌabui oe-oeꞌ.
3 Then Jacob went ahead of them and bowed low to the ground seven times before approaching his brother.
Te Yakob lao naꞌahuluꞌ basa se. Ara rae deka ro aꞌa na ma, ana sendeꞌ lululangga na ma beꞌutee losa rae a, lao hitu.
4 Esau ran over to him and hugged him. He put his arms around his neck and kissed him. The two of them wept.
Esau nita odꞌi na ma, ana nelaꞌ neu nandaa no e. Ana holu ma idꞌu e, ma ruꞌa se nggae.
5 Then Esau looked around at the women and children. “Who are these people with you?” he asked. “They are the children God graciously gave your servant,” Jacob replied.
Esau nita inaꞌ naa ra ro ana nara, ma natane nae, “Basa atahori ia ra, seka?” Yakob nataa nae, “Naa ra, atahori fo Lamatualain fee au, aꞌa ate na.”
6 The personal maids and their children came over and bowed down.
Basa naa ma, sao tias nara ro ana nara, rema raloe ao nara neu Esau.
7 Then Leah and her children came over and bowed down. Lastly Joseph and Rachel came over and bowed down.
Basa de, Lea no ana nara, rema raloe ao nara neu Esau. Mana maꞌabuiꞌ a, Yusuf no ina na Rahel rema raloe ao nara neu Esau.
8 “What were all the livestock for that I met on the way?” Esau asked. “They're a gift to you my lord so you'd treat me well,” Jacob answered.
Boe ma Esau natane nae, “Banda nononggoꞌ fo ho haituaꞌ ra, masud na saa?” Yakob nataa nae, “Taꞌo ia, aꞌa! Au fee basa naa ra neu aꞌa, naa fo aꞌa simbo au no rala teme aoꞌ.”
9 “I have more than enough, my brother! You keep what you have,” said Esau.
Te Esau nataa nae, “Odꞌiꞌ! Au suꞌi ngga o naeꞌ boe. De afiꞌ fee au saaꞌ boe.”
10 “No, please!” Jacob insisted. “If you're happy with me, then please accept the gift I'm giving you. Now I've seen your face again it's like seeing the face of God, and you have welcomed me so kindly!
Ma Yakob nataa nae, “Aꞌa afiꞌ taꞌo naa! Aꞌa musi simbo fo dadꞌi bukti aꞌa simbo au no lima ruaꞌ. Te, au ita aꞌa humek faꞌ ra ma, onaꞌ au ita Lamatualain humek.
11 Please take the gift I've brought to you because God has treated me so well and I have so much.” So Esau accepted it.
De au hule no hadat fo simbo au fefee ngga ia. Lamatualain malole na seli neu au, naa de Ana fee basa saa fo au parluꞌ ra.” Yakob kokoe nakandooꞌ a, de nau nda nau sa o, Esau simbo nala se.
12 “Let's get on our way,” Esau said. “I'll go ahead of you.”
Basa naa ma, Esau olaꞌ nae, “Mete ma taꞌo naa, naa, miote fo ata lao leo! Dei fo au o nggi.”
13 “My lord can see that the children are weak,” Jacob responded. “Also, the goats, sheep, and cattle are nursing their young, and if I push them too hard, they'll all die.
Te Yakob nataa nae, “Afiꞌ, aꞌa! Aꞌa mete neuꞌ ena. Anaꞌ ra feꞌe anadikiꞌ ri, de nda feꞌe laoꞌ beꞌi sa. Ma banda mana bꞌonggi feuꞌ ra o, naeꞌ. Mete ma hita taꞌasusuuꞌ se laoꞌ lai-lai, sia fai esa rala, naa, banda ra bisa mate basa se.
14 You go on, my lord, and your servant will come along slowly, walking with the children, and I'll meet you at Seir.”
De malole lenaꞌ aꞌa se lao miꞌihuluꞌ. Dei fo basa hai laoꞌ koe-koe miꞌibuit. Losa naa fo, au eti seꞌu aꞌa sia Seir.”
15 “Fine, but let me leave some of my men with you,” said Esau. “You're very kind, but there's no need to do that,” Jacob replied.
Boe ma, Esau olaꞌ fai nae, “Mete ma taꞌo naa, naa, au lao hela atahori nggara ruma ro nggo fo ratudꞌu hei dalaꞌ.” Te Yakob nae, “Afiꞌ tao ia-naa, aꞌa! Sadꞌi au bubꞌuluꞌ aꞌa simbo au ena, naa, au umuhoꞌo.”
16 So Esau started on his way back to Seir that day.
Esau rena nala ma, ana lao hela se, de baliꞌ Seir neu.
17 But Jacob headed to Succoth, where he built himself a house and shelters for the livestock. That's why the place is called Succoth.
Te Yakob lao Sukot neu. Sia naa, ana tao ume, ma lalaet fee banda nara. Naa de, ara babꞌae mamanaꞌ naa Sukot (sosoan ‘ume neꞌetataaꞌ’).
18 Later Jacob continued his journey from Paddan-aram. He arrived safely at Shechem in the country of Canaan where he camped outside the town.
Neu mateꞌe na ma, Yakob se losa no masodꞌaꞌ mia Padan Aram risiꞌ kambo Sikem sia nusa Kanaꞌan. Boe ma ara raririi lalaat, de leo deka kamboꞌ naa.
19 He bought the plot of ground where he was camping from the sons of Hamor, the founder of Shechem, for 100 pieces of money.
Rae fo Yakob naririi lalaat naa, ana hasa naꞌetuꞌ mia Hemor, Sikem aman. Ana bae no doi fulaꞌ natun esa.
20 He built an altar there and called it El-Elohe-Israel.
Sia naa, ana lutu mbatu mei tutunu-hohotuꞌ. Ana babꞌae mamanaꞌ naa El-Elohe-Israꞌel. Sosoa na ‘Lamatualain naa, Israꞌel Lamatualain na’.
