Genesis 33
1 And as Iaakob lift vp his eyes, and looked, behold, Esau came, and with him foure hundreth men: and he deuided the children to Leah, and to Rahel, and to the two maides.
Yakobo akainua macho yake na, tazama, Esau alikuwa anakuja, na alikuwa na watu mia nne pamoja naye. Yakobo akawagawanya watoto kati ya Lea, Raheli, na wale wajakazi wawili.
2 And he put the maides, and their children formost, and Leah, and her children after, and Rahel, and Ioseph hindermost.
Kisha akawaweka wajakazi na wanao mbele, wakifuatiwa na Lea na watoto wake, Raheli na Yusufu wakafuata mwisho wa wote.
3 So he went before them and bowed him selfe to the ground seuen times, vntill he came neere to his brother.
Yeye mwenyewe akatangulia mbele yao. Akasujudu mara saba kuelekea ardhi, hata alipomkaribia ndugu yake.
4 Then Esau ranne to meete him, and embraced him, and fell on his necke, and kissed him, and they wept.
Esau akakimbia kumlaki, akamkumbatia, akakumbatia shingo yake na kumbusu. Kisha wakalia.
5 And he lift vp his eyes, and sawe the women, and the children, and saide, Who are these with thee? And he answered, They are ye childre whome God of his grace hath giuen thy seruant.
Esau alipoinua macho, aliona wanawake na watoto. Akauliza, “Hawa watu pamoja nawe ni kinanani?” Yakobo akasema, Ni watoto ambao Mungu amempa mtumishi wako kwa neema.”
6 Then came the maides neere, they, and their children, and bowed themselues.
Kisha wajakazi wakakaribia pamoja na watoto wao, nao wakasujudia.
7 Leah also with her children came neere and made obeysance: and after Ioseph and Rahel drew neere, and did reuerence.
Akafuata Lea pia na watoto wake wakaja na kusujudia. Mwisho Yusufu na Raheli wakaja na kusujudia.
8 Then he said, What meanest thou by all this droue, which I met? Who answered, I haue sent it, that I may finde fauour in the sight of my lorde:
Esau akasema, Unamaanisha nini kwa makundi haya yote niliyokutana nayo?” Yakobo akasema, “Kutafuta kibali mbele za bwana wangu.
9 And Esau said, I haue ynough, my brother: keepe that thou hast to thy selfe.
Esau akasema, “Ninayo ya kutosha, ndugu yangu. Tunza uliyonayo kwa ajili yako mwenyewe.”
10 But Iaakob answered, Nay, I pray thee: if I haue found grace nowe in thy sight, then receiue my present at mine hande: for I haue seene thy face, as though I had seene the face of God, because thou hast accepted me.
Yakobo akasema, “Hapana, tafadhari, ikiwa nimeona kibali mbele zako, basi upokee zawadi yangu kutoka mkononi mwangu, na ni kama kuona uso wa Mungu, na umenipokea.
11 I pray thee take my blessing, that is brought thee: for God hath had mercie on me, and therefore I haue all things: so he compelled him, and he tooke it.
Tafadhari pokea zawadi yangu uliyoletewa, kwa sababu Mungu amenitendea kwa neema, na kwa sababu ninavyo vya kutosha.” Hivyo Yakobo akamsihi, na Esau akamkubali.
12 And he saide, Let vs take our iourney and go, and I will goe before thee.
Kisha Esau akasema, “Haya na tuondoke. Nitakutangulia.”
13 Then he answered him, My lord knoweth, that the children are tender, and the ewes and kine with yong vnder mine hande: and if they should ouerdriue them one day, all the flocke would die.
Yakobo akamwambia, “Bwana wangu anajua kwamba watoto ni wadogo, na kwamba kondoo na ng'ombe wananyonyesha ndama wao. Ikiwa watapelekwa kwa haraka hata siku moja, wanyama wote watakufa.
14 Let now my lord go before his seruant, and I will driue softly, according to ye pase of ye cattel, which is before me, and as the children be able to endure, vntill I come to my lord vnto Seir.
Tafadhari bwana wangu na amtangulie mtumishi wake. Nitasafiri polopole, kwa kadili ya mifugo iliyo mbele yangu, na kadili ya watoto, hata nitakapofika kwa bwana wangu huko Seiri.”
15 Then Esau said, I will leaue then some of my folke with thee. And he answered, what needeth this? let me finde grace in the sight of my lorde.
Esau akasema, haya nikuachie baadhi ya watu wangu waliopamoja nami.” Yakobo akasema, “Kwa nini kufanya hivyo? Bwana wangu amekuwa mkalimu kwangu kiasi cha kutosha.”
16 So Esau returned, and went his way that same day vnto Seir.
Hivyo Esau akaanza kurudi Seiri.
17 And Iaakob went forwarde towarde Succoth, and built him an house, and made boothes for his cattell: therefore he called the name of the place Succoth.
Yakobo akasafiri kuelekea Sukothi, akajijengea nyumba, na akafanya mazizi kwa ajili ya mifugo wake. Hivyo jina la eneo linaitwa Sukothi.
18 Afterward, Iaakob came safe to Sheche a citie, which is in the lande of Canaan, when he came from Padan Aram, and pitched before the citie.
Yakobo alipokuja kutoka Padani Aramu, akafika salama katika mji wa Shekemu, uliyo katika nchi ya Kanaani. Akapiga kambi karibu na mji.
19 And there he bought a parcell of ground, where hee pitched his tent, at the hande of the sonnes of Hamor Shechems father, for an hundreth pieces of money.
Kisha akanunu sehemu ya ardhi alipokuwa ameweka hema yake kutoka kwa wana wa Hamori, baba wa Shekemu, kwa vipande mia vya fedha.
20 And he set vp there an altar, and called it, The mightie God of Israel.
Akajenga madhabahu pale na kuiita El Elohe Israeli.
