Genesis 33
1 [Then Jacob joined the rest of his family]. [Later that day] Jacob looked up and saw Esau coming, and there were 400 men with him. [Jacob was worried because of that], so he separated the children. He put Leah’s children with Leah, Rachel’s children with Rachel, and the two female slaves’ children with their mothers.
Jakobo notingʼo wangʼe moneno Esau kabiro ka en gi ji mia angʼwen. Kuom mano nopogo nyithindo e kind Lea gi Rael kod jotichne mamon ariyo.
2 He put the two female slaves and their children in front. He put Leah and her children next. He put Rachel and Joseph at the rear.
Noketo jotichne mamon ariyo kod nyithindgi nyime, kiluwogi gi Lea kod nyithinde, to Rael gi Josef ema noketo chien.
3 He himself went ahead of them all, and as he continued to approach his older brother, he prostrated himself with his face on the ground seven times.
Jakobo owuon notelo nyimgi mi opodho auma nyadibiriyo e nyim Esau owadgi.
4 But Esau ran to Jacob. He hugged him, put his arms around his neck, and kissed him on the cheek. And they both cried.
To Esau noringo oromone Jakobo mokwake; nokwako ngʼute kendo onyodhe mine giywak giduto.
5 Then Esau looked up and saw the women and the children. He asked, “Who are these people who are with you?” Jacob replied, “These are the wives and children that God has graciously/kindly given to me.”
Eka Esau notingʼo wangʼe malo moneno mon kod nyithindo. Nopenjo niya, “Magi gin ngʼa gini man kodigi?” Jakobo nodwoke niya, “Gin nyithindo ma Nyasaye osemiyo jatichni kuom ngʼwonone.”
6 Then the female slaves and their children came near and bowed in front of Esau.
Eka jotichne mamon kod nyithindgi nochopo mopodho auma e nyime.
7 Then Leah and her children came and bowed down. Finally Joseph and Rachel came near and bowed down.
Bangʼe Lea kod nyithinde nobiro mopodho auma e nyime. Josef gi Rael bende nochopo mopodho auma e nyime.
8 Esau asked, “What is the meaning of all the animals that I saw?” Jacob replied, “I am giving them to you, sir, so that you will feel good toward me.”
Esau nopenjo niya, “Kweth maduongʼ mane aromogo cha tiendgi angʼo?” Jakobo nodwoke niya, “Ne aorogi mondo gibi gi kwana ngʼwono kuom ruodha.”
9 But Esau replied, “My [younger] brother, I have enough animals! Keep for yourself the animals that you have!”
To Esau nowacho niya, “An gi gik mathoth owadwa. Magi-gi bedgo abeda.”
10 But Jacob said, “No, please, if you feel good toward me, accept these gifts from me. You have greeted me very kindly. Seeing your smiling face assures me [that you have forgiven me]. It is like seeing the face of God!
Jakobo nowachone, “Ooyo, asayi! Ka isengʼwonona to yie ikaw michgi. Nikech neno wangʼi chalo mana gi neno wangʼ Nyasaye, ka koro iserwaka gi ngʼwono kama.
11 Please accept these gifts that I have brought to you, because God has acted kindly toward me, and I still have plenty of animals!” Jacob kept on urging him to accept the animals, and finally he accepted them.
Asayi kaw mich manokelnigo, nikech Nyasaye osebedona mangʼwon kendo an gi gik moko duto madwaro.” Nikech Jakobo noramo, Esau nokawo.
12 Then Esau said, “Let’s continue traveling together, and I will show the road to you.”
Bangʼ mano Esau nowacho ne Jakobo niya, “Waikreuru mondo wadhi kanyakla.”
13 Jacob [had no intention to go with Esau], but he said, “You know, sir, that the children are weak, and that I must take care of the female sheep and cows that are (sucking their mother’s milk/nursing their young). If I force them to walk fast for a long distance in just one day, the animals will all die.
To Jakobo nodwoke niya, “Ruodha, ingʼeyo ni nyithindogi pod tindo to bende nyaka wapar nyithi rombe kod nyiroye ma pod dhoth. Kaponi osembgi matek odiechiengʼ achiel to jamni duto nyalo tho.
14 You go ahead of me. I will lead the animals slowly, but I will walk as fast as the children and animals can walk. I will catch up with you in Seir, [in the land where the descendants of Edom live].”
Kuom mano ruodha akwayi ni tel e nyim misumbani, to aluwi mos mos gi nyithindo kod jamni nyaka achop iri Seir.”
15 Esau said, “Then allow me to leave with you some of the men who came with me, [to protect you].” But Jacob replied, “(Why do that?/There is no need to do that!) [RHQ] The only thing that I want is for you to act friendly toward me.”
Eka Esau nowachone niya, “We awe joga moko kodi ka.” Jakobo nopenje niya, “Angʼo momiyo idwaro timo kamano? Mad iyiena ayieya ayud ngʼwono e nyim ruodha.”
16 So on that day Esau left to return to Seir.
Kuom mano odiechiengʼno Esau nochako wuodhe ka odok Seir.
17 But [instead of going to Seir], Jacob and his family went to [a place called] Succoth. There he built a house for himself and his family, and built shelters for his livestock. That is the reason they named the place Succoth, [which means ‘shelters’].
Kata kamano Jakobo nodhi Sukoth, kama nogeroe dalane kendo oloso dipo ne kweth mage mag jamni. Mano ema omiyo iluongo kanyo ni Sukoth (tiende ni abilni).
18 [Some time later, ] Jacob and his family left Paddan-Aram [in Mesopotamia], and they traveled safely to the Canaan region. There they set up their tents in a field near Shechem city.
Bangʼ ka Jakobo nosea Padan Aram, nochopo maber e dala maduongʼ mar Shekem manie piny Kanaan kendo nodak momanyore gi dalano.
19 One of the leaders of the people in that area was named Hamor. Hamor had several sons. Jacob paid the sons of Hamor 100 pieces of silver for the piece of ground on which they set up their tents.
Lowo mano gedoe nongʼiewo kuom yawuot Hamor ma wuon Shekem gi fedha madirom mia achiel.
20 He built a stone altar there, and named it El-Elohe Israel, [which means ‘God, the God of Israel].’
Kanyo ema nogeroe kendo mar misango kendo nochake ni El-Elohe-Israel (tiende ni Nyasaye ma Nyasach Israel).
