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.
Le nampiandrà’ Iakòbe o fihaino’eo naho niisa’e te nimb’ ama’e mb’eo t’i Esave reketse ty lahilahy efa-jato. Aa le zinara’e amy Leae naho amy Rahkele vaho amy mpitoro’e ampela roe rey o ajajao.
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.
Nanoe’e aolo’e ey o mpitoroñeo rekets’ o ana’eo, le nanonjohy iereo t’i Leae naho o ana’eo vaho amboly ao t’i Rahkele naho Iosefe.
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.
Niary mb’aolo’ iereo mb’eo re nibokok’ an-tane im-pito am-pañarineañe i zoke’ey
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.
Aa le nilay mb’ama’e mb’eo t’i Esave niambotrak’ amy fititia’ey le norofa’e vaho sambe nangoihoy.
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.”
Niandra t’i Esave nahaoniñe o rakemba reketse keleiañeo, le hoe re, Ia o mindre lia ama’oo? Hoe re: O anake natolon’Añahare am-patarihañe amo mpitoro’oo.
6 Then the female slaves and their children came near and bowed in front of Esau.
Nitotoke mb’eo amy zao o mpitoroñ’ ampela rekets’ anakeo, le nibokok’ ambane;
7 Then Leah and her children came and bowed down. Finally Joseph and Rachel came near and bowed down.
nimb’eo ka t’i Leae rekets’ anake naho nibokoke; nañarine amy zao t’Iosefe naho i Rahkele sindre niondreke.
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.”
Hoe t’i Esave, Ino ty dika’ i lia’e maro nikovovoke nifanalaka amakoy? Tinoi’ Iakòbe ty hoe, Ty hahatendrehañe fañisohañe am-pivazohoa’ i talèkoy.
9 But Esau replied, “My [younger] brother, I have enough animals! Keep for yourself the animals that you have!”
Fa hoe t’i Esave, Mahàtsek’ ahy o ahikoo, ry rahalahiko, tano ho azo o azoo.
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!
Hoe t’Iakòbe, Aiy, ie nahatrea ìsok’ am-pahaisaha’o, le rambeso an-tañako o ravoravoo; amy te izaho mahaisake o lahara’oo, le hoe mahatrea ty laharan’ Añahare, vaho t’ie nino’o.
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.
Ehe rambeso i ravoravo binanabanako, fa niferenaiñan’ Añahare, naho maro o amakoo. Le nosihe’e vaho rinambe’e.
12 Then Esau said, “Let’s continue traveling together, and I will show the road to you.”
Le hoe re, Antao hitrao-dia, le hiaolo anahareo iraho.
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.
Fe hoe ty natoi’e, Fohi’ ty talèko te kamba o ajajao, vaho amako o rene’e naho añombe-vave rohy, aa naho ilosoran-tehake ndra andro raike le fonga ho mate o hareo.
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].”
Ehe te hañavelo aolo’ i mpitoro’ey mb’eo ty talèko, hisitsirako mora mb’eo ty amo hare mangovovok’ aolo ahio naho ty amy filesalesa’ o ajajao, ampara’ te pok’ amy talèko e Seire añe.
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.”
Aa le hoe t’i Esave, Angao handivako ama’o ondaty amakoo. Fa hoe re, Fa akore? Ee t’ie hahatrea fañisohañe am-pahaisaha’ i talèkoy.
16 So on that day Esau left to return to Seir.
Aa le nimpoly mb’e Seire añe amy àndro zay t’i Esave.
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’].
Le nimb’e Sokote añe t’Iakòbe le nañoren-kivoho, naho namboara’e fialofañe o añombe’eo, vaho natao Sokote i toetsey.
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.
Niavy tsy añolañe an-drova’ i Sikeme an-tane Kanàne eo t’Iakòbe boake Padan’ arama añe, vaho nañoren-kivoho aolo’ i rovay ey.
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.
Le vinili’e bogady zato amo ana’ i Khamòre rae’ i Sikemeo ty ila’ i teteke nampipoha’e i kivoho’eiy.
20 He built a stone altar there, and named it El-Elohe Israel, [which means ‘God, the God of Israel].’
Le nañoren-kitrely eo ze natao’e El-Elohe-Israele.
