< Genesis 33 >

1 And Jacob lifted up his eyes, and looked, and, behold, Esau came, and with him four hundred men. And he divided the children unto Leah, and unto Rachel, and unto the two handmaids.
Jakob mah khet tahang naah, kami cumvai palito hoi nanwto angzo Esau to hnuk. To pongah nawktanawk to tapraek moe, Leah, Rachel hoi a tamna nongpata hnik khaeah a paek.
2 And he put the handmaids and their children foremost, and Leah and her children after, and Rachel and Joseph hindermost.
A tamna nongpata hnik hoi a caanawk to hmaloe ah a caehsak, to pacoengah Leah hoi a caanawk to caehsak moe, hnukkhuem koekah Rachel hoi Joseph to caehsak.
3 And he passed over before them, and bowed himself to the ground seven times, until he came near to his brother.
Angmah to hmahmanh moe, amya khaeah a phak naah, a hmaa ah long ah vai sarihto akuep pae.
4 And Esau ran to meet him, and embraced him, and fell on his neck, and kissed him: and they wept.
Esau loe Jakob hnuk hanah cawnh moe takop; tahnong ah takoih moe, anih to mok; to pacoengah loe qah hoi hmaek.
5 And he lifted up his eyes, and saw the women and the children; and said, Who [are] those with thee? And he said, The children which God hath graciously given thy servant.
Esau mah khet naah, nongpatanawk hoi a caanawk to hnuk; nang hoi nawnto kaom kaminawk loe mi aa? tiah a naa. Jakob mah, Nihcae loe Sithaw mah na tamna khaeah tahmenhaih hoi paek ih kaminawk ni, tiah a naa.
6 Then the handmaidens came near, they and their children, and they bowed themselves.
To pacoengah a tamna hnik hoi a caanawk to angzoh o moe, anih hmaa ah akuep o.
7 And Leah also with her children came near, and bowed themselves: and after came Joseph near and Rachel, and they bowed themselves.
To pacoengah Leah hoi a caanawk doeh anih khaeah angzoh o moe, akuep o; hnukkhuem koekah Rachel hoi Joseph to angzoh hoi moe, a hmaa ah akuep hoi toeng.
8 And he said, What [meanest] thou by all this drove which I met? And he said, [These are] to find grace in the sight of my lord.
Esua mah, Ka hnuk ih moinawk loe tih sak han ih aa? tiah a naa. Anih mah, Ka angraeng, na tahmenhaih ka hnuk thai hanah, nang hanah kang sinh pae, tiah a naa.
9 And Esau said, I have enough, my brother; keep that thou hast unto thyself.
Toe Esau mah, Kam nawk, Kai doeh ka tawnh mang bae, nangmah hanah mah suem ah, tiah a naa.
10 And Jacob said, Nay, I pray thee, if now I have found grace in thy sight, then receive my present at my hand: for therefore I have seen thy face, as though I had seen the face of God, and thou wast pleased with me.
Jakob mah, Tahmenhaih hoiah na talawk paeh; na tahmenhaih ka tongh nahaeloe, ka sinh ih tangqum hae na talawk pae ah; na mikhmai ka hnuk hae, Sithaw mikhmai hnuk baktiah ni oh, na mikhmai panhaih to ka hnuk boeh.
11 Take, I pray thee, my blessing that is brought to thee; because God hath dealt graciously with me, and because I have enough. And he urged him, and he took [it].
Nang han kang sinh ih taham ka hoihaih tangqumnawk hae na talawk pae ah, Sithaw mah ang tahmen pongah, ka ngaihaih boih ka tawnh boeh, tiah a naa. Jakob mah paek pae khruek pongah, Esau mah talawk pae.
12 And he said, Let us take our journey, and let us go, and I will go before thee.
To naah Esau mah, Caeh o si, kholong caeh amsak o si boeh, tiah a naa.
13 And he said unto him, My lord knoweth that the children [are] tender, and the flocks and herds with young [are] with me: and if men should overdrive them one day, all the flock will die.
Toe Jakob mah, Ka angraeng, nawktanawk loe saning nawk o vop moe, tapen kangtha tuu hoi maitawnawk doeh ka khetzawn han oh, tito na panoek; nito thung karangah ka caeh haih nahaeloe, moinawk hae dueh o boih tih.
14 Let my lord, I pray thee, pass over before his servant: and I will lead on softly, according as the cattle that goeth before me and the children be able to endure, until I come unto my lord unto Seir.
To pongah ka angraeng nang loe, na tamna hmaa ah caeh halat ah; kai loe moinawk to amzai ah huih moe, nawktanawk hoi nawnto ka angraeng ohhaih Seir mae ah amzaita hoi kang zoh han, tiah a naa.
15 And Esau said, Let me now leave with thee [some] of the folk that [are] with me. And he said, What needeth it? let me find grace in the sight of my lord.
Esau mah, To tih nahaeloe kaimah ih kaminawk ahap kang caehtaak han, tiah a naa. Toe Jakob mah, Na koehhaih baktiah ka oh nahaeloe, tih han ih nihcae to caehtaak han angai tih loe? tiah a naa.
16 So Esau returned that day on his way unto Seir.
To pongah to na niah Esau loe Seir prae ah amlaem let.
17 And Jacob journeyed to Succoth, and built him an house, and made booths for his cattle: therefore the name of the place is called Succoth.
Toe Jakob loe Sukkoth ah caeh, ohhaih ahmuen maeto a sak, angmah ih maitawnawk ohhaih im doeh a sak pae; to pongah to ahmuen to Sukkoth, tiah ahmin paek.
18 And Jacob came to Shalem, a city of Shechem, which [is] in the land of Canaan, when he came from Padan-aram; and pitched his tent before the city.
Jakob loe Padan prae hoiah angzoh moe, Kanaan prae Shekem vangpui to kamong ah a phak, to vangpui phak tom naah ataihaih ahmuen to a sak.
19 And he bought a parcel of a field, where he had spread his tent, at the hand of the children of Hamor, Shechem’s father, for an hundred pieces of money.
Shekem ampa Hamor caanawk khae ih long to, phoisa cumvaito hoiah a qanh moe, to ahmuen ah ataihaih kahni im to a sak.
20 And he erected there an altar, and called it El-elohe-Israel.
To ahmuen ah hmaicam maeto a sak pacoengah, El-Elohe-Israel, tiah ahmin sak.
