< Genesis 33 >

1 Then Jacob lifted up his eyes and looked, and lo! Esau, coming in, —and with him, four hundred men. So he divided the children—unto Leah and unto Rachel, and unto the two handmaids;
Jekọb lepụrụ anya nʼihu, hụ Ịsọ ka ọ na-abịa, ya na narị ndị ikom anọ ndị so ya. Nʼihi ya, o kesara ụmụntakịrị ndị ahụ, nʼetiti Lịa, na Rechel na ndị odibo nwanyị ya abụọ.
2 and put the handmaids and their children first, —and Leah and her children next, and Rachel and Joseph next;
O mere ka ndị odibo nwanyị ya abụọ ahụ na ụmụ ha buru ụzọ, Lịa na ụmụ ya esoro nʼazụ, ebe Rechel na Josef nọ nʼazụ azụ.
3 but he himself, passed over before them, and bowed himself to the earth seven times, until he had come near unto his brother.
Ma ya onwe ya buru ụzọ na-aga nʼihu ha niile, na-akpọ isiala nye Ịsọ ugboro asaa, tutu ruo mgbe ọ bịarutere nwanne ya nwoke nso.
4 Then ran Esau to meet him, and embraced him, and fell on his neck, —and they wept.
Ma Ịsọ gbaara ọsọ bịakwute ya, makụọ ya, jikụọ ya aka nʼolu, sutu ya ọnụ. Ha abụọ kwara akwa.
5 Then lifted he up his eyes, and beheld the women and the children, and said What are these to thee? And he said—The children wherewith God hath favoured thy servant,
Mgbe Ịsọ lelitere anya hụ ndị inyom ndị a na ụmụntakịrị ndị ahụ. Ọ sịrị, “Ndị ole bụ ndị a gị na ha so?” Jekọb sịrị, “Ha bụ ụmụ Chineke sitere nʼamara ya nye ohu gị.”
6 Then came near the handmaids, they—and their children, —and bowed themselves.
Mgbe ahụ, ndị odibo nwanyị abụọ na ụmụ ha rutere nso, kpọọ isiala.
7 Then came near Leah also with her children, —and they bowed themselves. And afterwards, came near Joseph with Rachel, and they bowed themselves,
Lịa na ụmụ ya bịarutekwara kpọọ isiala, nʼikpeazụ Rechel na Josef bịara kpọọkwa isiala.
8 Then said he, What to thee is all this camp, which I have fallen in with? And he said, —To find favour in the eyes of my lord.
Ịsọ sịrị, “Igwe ewu na atụrụ ndị a niile m zutere nʼụzọ, gịnị ka ọ pụtara?” Jekọb zara, “Ha bụ maka ịnata ihuọma nʼaka gị, onyenwe m.”
9 Then said Esau, I have an abundance, —my brother, be thine what thou hast!
Ma Ịsọ sịrị, “Nwanne m nwoke, debere onwe gị ihe i nwere, nʼihi na enwere m akụ hie nne.”
10 Then said Jacob, Nay, I pray thee, if, I pray thee, I have found favour in thine eyes, then thou wilt take my present at my hand, —For on this account, hath my seeing thy face been like seeing the face of God in that thou wast well-pleased with me.
Jekọb sịrị, “E, biko, ọ bụrụ na m achọtala ihuọma nʼanya gị, nara m onyinye ndị a. Nʼihi na ịhụ gị anya dịka ilekwasị Chineke anya nʼihu, nke ka nke, otu a i ji ihu ọcha nabata m.
11 Take, I pray thee my blessing which hath been brought in to thee, because God hath shewed me favour and because I have everything. So he was urgent with him and he took it.
Biko nara onyinye ndị ahụ e wetaara gị, nʼihi na Chineke emelara m amara. Enwekwara m ihe ga-ezuru m.” Jekọb kwagidere ya, ọ naara onyinye ndị ahụ.
12 Then he said, Let us break up and go, and let me go on before thee.
Mgbe ahụ, Ịsọ sịrị, “Bilienụ ka anyị malite ije ịlaghachi. Aga m esonyere unu.”
13 And he said unto him, My lord, is taking note, that, the children are tender, —and the flocks and the herds are giving suck with me, —and, should I overdrive them a single day, then would all the flocks die.
Ma Jekọb sịrị ya, “Onyenwe m, ị maara na ụmụntakịrị ndị a adịghị ike, aga m ejikwa nwayọọ chịa ụmụ atụrụ ndị a na ehi ndị na-enye ụmụ ha ara. Ọ bụrụ na a chịa ha nʼike nʼime otu ụbọchị, ụmụ anụmanụ ndị a niile ga-anwụ.
14 Let my lord, I pray thee pass over before his servant, and let, me, lead on in my own easy way, at the pace of the cattle that are before me, and at the pace of the children, until that I come in unto my lord, towards Seir.
Ya mere, ka onyenwe m buru ohu ya ụzọ na-aga, ma ka m jiri nwayọọ nwayọọ na-abịa, dịka ike igwe anụ ndị a na ụmụaka ndị a si dị. Tutu ruo mgbe m ga-ezute onyenwe m na Sia.”
15 Then said Esau: Let me leave, I pray thee, along with thee, some of the people who are with me! And he said—Why so? let me find favour in the eyes of my lord!
Ịsọ sịrị, “Ọ bụrụ otu a, ka m hapụrụ gị ụfọdụ ndị a mụ na ha so.” Ma Jekọb sịrị, “Nʼihi gịnị kwanụ? Ka m hụta naanị ihuọma nʼanya onyenwe m.”
16 So Esau returned, that day, to his journey towards Mount Seir.
Ịsọ laghachikwara azụ na Sia nʼotu ụbọchị ahụ.
17 But, Jacob, brake up towards Succoth, and built for himself a house, for his cattle, made he places of shelter, for which cause, the name of the place was called, Succoth.
Ma Jekọb na ezinaụlọ ya jere Sukọt, ebe o wuuru onwe ya ụlọ obibi, wuokwara anụ ụlọ ya ụlọ obibi ha. Ọ bụ nke a mere e ji kpọọ ebe ahụ Sukọt.
18 And Jacob came in peace to the city of Shechem, which is in the land of Canaan, —when he came in from Padan-aram, —and he encamped before the city.
Mgbe Jekọb si Padan Aram lọghachi, o rutere obodo Shekem nke dị nʼala Kenan nʼudo. O mara ụlọ ikwu ya nʼihu obodo ahụ.
19 And he bought the portion of the field where he had spread out his tent, at the hand of the sons of Hamor, father of Shechem, —for a hundred kesitahs.
Ọ zụrụ ala ebe o mara ụlọ ikwu ya nʼaka ụmụ Hamọ, nna Shekem, ọ kwụrụ narị mkpụrụ ọlaọcha maka ala ahụ.
20 And he set up there an altar, —and called it, El-elohe-Israel.
Nʼebe ahụ, o wuru ebe ịchụ aja, kpọọ aha ya El Elohe Izrel.
