1 Now Jacob looked up and saw that Esau approaching, and with him four hundred men. He divided the children between Leah, Rachel, and the two female servants.
Na rĩrĩ, Jakubu agĩtiira maitho, akĩona Esaũ agĩũka arĩ na andũ ake magana mana; nĩ ũndũ ũcio akĩgayania ciana kũrĩ Lea na Rakeli na kũrĩ ndungata iria igĩrĩ cia andũ-a-nja.
2 He put the female servants and their children in front, Leah and her children after, and Rachel and Joseph last.
Akĩiga ndungata cia andũ-a-nja na ciana ciacio mbere, nake Lea na ciana ciake makĩrũmĩrĩra, nake Rakeli na Jusufu makĩrigia thuutha.
3 He himself went on ahead of them, and bowed himself to the ground seven times, until he approached his brother.
Nake we mwene akĩmatongoria, na rĩrĩa aakuhĩrĩirie mũrũ wa nyina, akĩinamĩrĩra, agĩturumithia ũthiũ wake thĩ maita mũgwanja.
4 Esau ran to meet him, embraced him, hugged his neck, and kissed him. And they wept.
No Esaũ akĩhanyũka agatũnge Jakubu na akĩmũnyiita, akĩmũhĩmbĩria, akĩmũmumunya. Nao makĩrĩranĩra.
5 And he looked up and saw the women and the children, and said, "Who are these with you?" He said, "The children whom God has graciously given your servant."
Ningĩ Esaũ agĩtiira maitho akĩona atumia na ciana. Akĩũria Jakubu atĩrĩ, “Andũ aya mũrĩ nao nĩ a ũ?” Jakubu agĩcookia atĩrĩ, “Ici nĩ ciana iria Ngai aheete ndungata yaku nĩ ũndũ wa ũtugi wake.”
6 Then the female servants came forward with their children, and they bowed themselves.
Hĩndĩ ĩyo ndungata icio cia andũ-a-nja na ciana ciacio igĩkuhĩrĩria na makĩinamĩrĩra.
7 Leah also and her children came forward, and bowed themselves. After them, Joseph came forward with Rachel, and they bowed themselves.
Lea na ciana ciake makĩrũmĩrĩra, magĩũka na makĩinamĩrĩra. Marigĩrĩrio, Jusufu na Rakeli magĩũka, o nao makĩinamĩrĩra.
8 Esau said, "What do you mean by all this company which I met?" Jacob said, "To find favor in the sight of my lord."
Esaũ akĩũria atĩrĩ, “Nĩ kĩĩ gĩtũmi gĩa kũndũmĩra ikundi icio ndatũnga?” Nake Jakubu agĩcookia atĩrĩ, “Nĩgeetha njĩtĩkĩrĩke maitho-inĩ maku, wee mwathi wakwa.”
9 Esau said, "I have enough, my brother; keep what you have for yourself."
No Esaũ akiuga atĩrĩ, “Mũrũ wa maitũ, niĩ ndĩ na indo cia kũnjigana. Ikara na icio ũrĩ nacio wee mwene.”
10 Jacob said, "No, please, if I have now found favor in our sight, then accept my present from my hand, because I have seen your face, which is like seeing the face of God, since you have accepted me.
Jakubu akiuga atĩrĩ, “Aca, ndagũthaitha! Angĩkorwo nĩnjĩtĩkĩrĩkĩte maitho-inĩ maku-rĩ, amũkĩra kĩheo gĩkĩ kuuma kũrĩ niĩ. Nĩ ũndũ kuona ũthiũ waku no ta kuona ũthiũ wa Ngai, tondũ nĩ wanyamũkĩra na gĩkeno.
11 Please take the gift that I brought to you, because God has been gracious to me, and because I have enough." Thus he urged him, and he took it.
Ndagũthaitha ĩtĩkĩra kĩheo kĩu ũreheirwo, tondũ Ngai nĩanjĩkĩte wega, na ndĩ na indo cia kũnjigana.” Na tondũ Jakubu nĩamũringĩrĩirie-rĩ, Esaũ agĩciĩtĩkĩra.
12 Esau said, "Let us take our journey, and let us go, and I will go ahead of you."
Ningĩ Esaũ akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Nĩtũthiĩ; nĩngũtwarana nawe.”
13 Jacob said to him, "My lord knows that the children are tender, and that the sheep and cattle with me have their young, and if they overdrive them one day, the whole herd will die.
No Jakubu akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Mwathi wakwa nĩoĩ atĩ twana tũtũ tũtirĩ na hinya, na no nginya menyerere ngʼondu na ngʼombe iria irongithia. Ingĩtwarwo na ihenya o na mũthenya ũmwe, nyamũ ciothe no ikue.
14 Please let my lord pass on ahead of his servant, and I will move along slowly, at the pace of the herds that are before me and at the pace of the children, until I come to my lord at Seir."
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio mwathi wakwa nĩathiiage mbere ya ndungata yake, na niĩ thiĩ o kahora kũringana na mũthiĩre wa ikundi ici, o na wa ciana, nginya rĩrĩa ngaakinya kwa mwathi wakwa kũu Seiru.”
15 Esau said, "Let me now leave with you some of my people who are with me." But he said, "What need is there? Please indulge me, my lord."
Esaũ akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “No kĩreke ngũtigĩre ndungata imwe ciakwa.” Jakubu akĩmũũria atĩrĩ, “Ũgwĩka ũguo nĩkĩ? Reke niĩ njĩtĩkĩrĩke maitho-inĩ ma mwathi wakwa.”
16 So Esau returned that day on the road to Seir.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Esaũ akĩhũndũka mũthenya o ro ũcio agĩthiĩ arorete Seiru.
17 But Jacob traveled to Succoth, and he built himself a house, and made shelters for his livestock. Therefore the name of the place is called Succoth.
Nowe Jakubu, agĩthiĩ Sukothu, kũrĩa eyakĩire nyũmba, na agĩthondeka ciugũ cia mahiũ make. Nĩkĩo handũ hau hetagwo Sukothu.
18 After Jacob came from Paddan Aram, he arrived safely at the city of Shechem, which is in the land of Canaan, and camped near the city.
Thuutha wa Jakubu kuuma Padani-Aramu, agĩkinya o wega itũũra-inĩ rĩrĩa inene rĩa Shekemu kũu Kaanani, na akĩamba hema hakuhĩ na itũũra rĩu inene.
19 He purchased the parcel of land where he had pitched his tent, from the sons of Hamor, Shechem's father, for a hundred kesitahs.
Nake akĩgũra gĩcunjĩ kĩa mũgũnda na betha igana rĩmwe kuuma kũrĩ ariũ a Hamoru ithe wa Shekemu, harĩa aambire hema yake.
20 He erected an altar there and called it El Elohe Israel.
Agĩaka kĩgongona handũ hau, na agĩgĩĩta Eli-Elohe-Isiraeli.
