< 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;
Yaaqoobis ol jedhee ilaalee kunoo Esaawu namoota dhibba afur wajjin utuu dhufaa jiruu arge; innis Liyaatti, Raahelii fi xomboreewwan lamaanitti ijoollee gargari hire.
2 and put the handmaids and their children first, —and Leah and her children next, and Rachel and Joseph next;
Xomboreewwanii fi ijoollee isaanii dura aanse; Liyaa fi ijoollee ishee itti aansee, Raahelii fi Yoosefin immoo dugda duuba buuse.
3 but he himself, passed over before them, and bowed himself to the earth seven times, until he had come near unto his brother.
Ofii isaatii immoo isaan dura darbee hamma obboleessa isaa bira gaʼutti yeroo torba lafatti gad jedhee harka fuudhe.
4 Then ran Esau to meet him, and embraced him, and fell on his neck, —and they wept.
Esaawu garuu Yaaqoobin simachuuf itti fiigee isa hammate; morma isaattis marmee isa dhungate. Isaan lachanuu walitti booʼan.
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,
Esaawus ol jedhee ilaalee dubartootaa fi ijoollee argee, “Warri si wajjin jiran kunneen eenyu?” jedhee gaafate. Yaaqoobis deebise, “Isaan ijoollee Waaqni arjummaadhaan ana garbicha keetiif kennee dha” jedhe.
6 Then came near the handmaids, they—and their children, —and bowed themselves.
Xomboreewwanii fi ijoolleen isaanii dhiʼaatanii gad jedhanii harka fuudhan.
7 Then came near Leah also with her children, —and they bowed themselves. And afterwards, came near Joseph with Rachel, and they bowed themselves,
Itti aansaniis Liyaa fi ijoolleen ishee dhufanii gad jedhanii harka fuudhan. Dhuma irratti immoo Yoosefii fi Raahel dhufanii gad jedhani harka fuudhan.
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.
Esaawu, “Bushaayee fi loon ani argu kun hundi maali?” jedhee gaafate. Yaaqoobis, “Ani fuula kee fuula gooftaa koo duratti fudhatama argachuuf jedhee ti” jedhe.
9 Then said Esau, I have an abundance, —my brother, be thine what thou hast!
Esaawu immoo, “Yaa obboleessa koo ani waan na gaʼu qaba. Ati waan qabdu ofuma keetii hambifadhu” jedheen.
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.
Yaaqoobis akkana jedhe; “Maaloo akkas miti! Yoo ani fuula kee duratti fudhatama argadhee jiraadhe, kennaa kana na harkaa fudhadhu. Egaa amma ati fuula tolaadhaan na simatteerta; fuula kee arguun anaaf akkuma fuula Waaqaa arguutii.
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.
Sababii Waaqni natti arjoomee anis waan na barbaachisu hunda qabuuf maaloo kennaa ani siif fide kana fudhadhu.” Esaawus waan Yaaqoob cimsee isa kadhateef kennaa sana ni fudhate.
12 Then he said, Let us break up and go, and let me go on before thee.
Esaawus, “Kottu karaa keenya itti fufnee haa deemnu; ani si dura nan buʼaa” jedhe.
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.
Yaaqoob garuu akkana isaan jedhe; “Akka ijoolleen dadhaboo taʼanii fi akka anis hoolotaa fi saawwan hoosisaniif kunuunsa gochuu qabu ati gooftaan koo ni beekta. Horiin kunneen yoo guyyuma tokkoon jarjarsuudhaan oofaman hundi isaanii ni dhumu.
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.
Gooftaan koo garbicha isaa dura darbee haa deemu; ani immoo hamman Seeʼiiritti gooftaa koo qaqqabutti akkuma humna bushaayee fuula koo dura jirutii fi akkuma humna ijoolleetti suuta jedhee nan deema.”
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!
Esaawus, “Yoos namoota koo keessaa muraasa si biratti nan dhiisa” jedhe. Yaaqoob immoo, “Kun maaliif barbaachisaa? Fuula gooftaa koo duratti fudhatama argachuun qofti na gaʼa” jedhe.
16 So Esau returned, that day, to his journey towards Mount Seir.
Esaawus guyyuma sana karaa isaa irra Seeʼiiritti deebiʼe.
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.
Yaaqoob garuu Sukooti dhaqee achitti ofii isaatiif mana ijaarrate; horii isaatiif immoo daasii ijaare. Kanaafuu iddoon sun Suukooti jedhame.
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.
Yaaqoob erga kaaba dhiʼa Phaadaan Arraamiitii deebiʼee booddee nagaan magaalaa Sheekem ishee biyya Kanaʼaan keessaa sana gaʼee fuula magaalattii dura qubate.
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.
Innis lafa dunkaana isaa irra dhaabate sana ilmaan Hamoor irraa meetii dhibbaan bitate; Hamoor immoo abbaa Sheekem.
20 And he set up there an altar, —and called it, El-elohe-Israel.
Yaaqoobis achitti iddoo aarsaa ijaaree El Elohee Israaʼel jedhee moggaase.
