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.
Awo Yakobo n’ayimusa amaaso ge n’alaba Esawu ng’ajja ng’ali n’abasajja ebikumi bina. Yakobo n’alyoka ayawulamu abaana abaali ne Leeya ne Laakeeri awamu n’abaweereza be abakazi ababiri.
2 And he put the handmaids and their children foremost, and Leah and her children after, and Rachel and Joseph hindermost.
Abaweereza n’abaana baabwe ne bakulembera, Leeya n’abaana be ne baddako, Laakeeri ne Yusufu ne basembayo.
3 And he himself passed on before them, and bowed himself to the ground seven times, until he came near to his brother.
Ye Yakobo ng’abakulembedde, nga bw’avuunama ku ttaka emirundi musanvu, okutuusa lwe yatuuka okumpi ne muganda we.
4 And Esau ran to meet him, and embraced him, and fell on his neck, and kissed him; and they wept.
Naye Esawu n’adduka okumusisinkana, n’amulamusa ng’amugwa mu kifuba n’amunywegera; bombi ne bakaaba.
5 And he lifted up his eyes, and saw the women and the children; and said, Who are these with thee? And he said, The children whom God hath graciously given thy servant.
Esawu bwe yayimusa amaaso ge n’alaba abakazi n’abaana, n’abuuza Yakobo nti, “Bano baani abali naawe?” Yakobo n’amuddamu nti, “Be baana Katonda baawadde omuddu wo mu kisa kye.”
6 Then came the handmaids near, they and their children, and they bowed themselves.
Awo abaweereza be abakazi n’abaana baabwe ne basembera, ne bavuunama, mu ngeri y’emu.
7 And Leah also with her children came near, and they bowed themselves; and after that came Joseph near and Rachel, and they bowed themselves.
Leeya n’abaana be nabo ne basembera ne bavuunama. Oluvannyuma Yusufu ne Laakeeri ne basembera nabo ne bavuunama.
8 And he said, What meanest thou by all this drove which I have met? And he said, To find grace in the eyes of my lord.
Esawu n’abuuza Yakobo nti, “Otegeezaaki olwa bino byonna bye nsanze?” Yakobo n’addamu nti, “Lwa kufuna kusaasirwa kwa mukama wange.”
9 And Esau said, I have enough, my brother, keep unto thyself what thou hast.
Naye ye Esawu n’amugamba nti, “Bye nnina bimmala, muganda wange, by’olina beera nabyo.”
10 And Jacob said, This must not be, I pray thee; if I have but found grace in thy eyes, then do thou receive my present at my hand; since I have seen thy face, it is as though I had seen the face of an angel, and because thou hast received me kindly.
Yakobo n’amuddamu nti, “Nedda nkwegayiridde, obanga nfunye okusaasirwa mu maaso go, kale kkiriza ekirabo kyange ekivudde mu ngalo zange. Kubanga ddala okulaba ku maaso go kiri ng’okulaba amaaso ga Katonda, olw’ekisa ekyo ky’onnyaniririzzaamu.
11 Take, I pray thee, my present that is brought to thee; because God hath dealt graciously with me, and because I have a plenty of all. And he urged him, and he took it.
Nkwegayiridde kkiriza ekirabo kyange ekikuleeteddwa, kubanga Katonda andaze ekisa kye, era siri mu bwetaavu.” Bw’atyo Esawu n’akikkiriza.
12 And he said, Let us depart, and move farther, and I will travel near thee.
Awo Esawu n’agamba nti, “Kale tutambule, nze nzija okukukulemberamu.”
13 And he said unto him, My lord knoweth that the children are tender, and the flocks and herds with young are a charge on me: and if they should overdrive them one day, all the flock would die.
Naye Yakobo n’amuddamu nti, “Mukama wange amanyi nti abaana banafu, era n’ebisibo biyonsa, era singa bitambuzibwa awatali busaasizi bijja kufa.
14 Let my lord, I pray thee, pass on before his servant: and I will lead on slowly, according to the cattle that goeth before me and the children may be able to travel, until I come unto my lord unto Seir.
Mukama wange k’aleke omuddu we, nze nzija kujja mpola, okusinziira ku ntambula y’ebisolo ebikulembedde, era ne ku ntambula y’abaana, okutuusa lwe ndituuka mu Seyiri.”
15 And Esau said, Let me, I pray thee, leave with thee some of the people that are with me. And he said, What needeth it? let me only final grace in the eyes of my lord.
Awo Esawu n’agamba Yakobo nti, “Kale ka ndeke abamu ku basajja abali nange.” Naye Yakobo n’amuddamu nti, “Tekyetaagisa. Kale nsaba ekisa mu maaso ga mukama wange.”
16 So Esau returned that day on his way unto Seir.
Bw’atyo Esawu n’addayo ku lunaku olwo mu Seyiri.
17 And Jacob journeyed to Succoth and built himself a house, and for his cattle he made booths; therefore he called the name of the place Succoth.
Naye Yakobo n’alaga mu Sukkosi, ne yeezimbira ennyumba, n’azimbira n’ensolo ebisiisira; ekifo ekyo kyekiva kiyitibwa Sukkosi.
18 And Jacob came in good health to the city of Shechem, which is in the land of Canaan, when he came from Padan-aram; and he encamped before the city.
Era Yakobo n’atuuka mirembe mu kibuga Sekemu, mu nsi ya Kanani, ng’ava e Padanalaamu, n’asiisira okwolekera ekibuga.
19 And he bought the parcel of the field, where he had spread his tent, at the hand of the children of Chamor, the father of Shechem, for a hundred kessitah.
Abaana ba Kamoli kitaawe wa Sekemu ne bamuguza ekitundu mwe yasiisira, n’abasasula ebitundu bya ffeeza kikumi.
20 And he erected there an altar, and called it, El-Elohe-Yisrael.
N’azimbira eyo ekyoto n’akiyita Ekyoto kya Katonda wa Isirayiri.
