Genesis 33
1 And Jacob lifted up his eyes, and looked, and, behold, Esau came, and with him four hundred men. And he divided the children to Leah, and to Rachel, and to the two handmaids.
Awo Yakobo n’ayimusa amaaso ge n’alaba Esawu ng’ajja ng’ali n’abasajja ebikumi bina. Yakobo n’alyoka ayawulamu abaana abaali ne Leeya ne Laakeeri awamu n’abaweereza be abakazi ababiri.
2 And he put the handmaids and their children foremost, and Leah and her children after, and Rachel and Joseph last of all.
Abaweereza n’abaana baabwe ne bakulembera, Leeya n’abaana be ne baddako, Laakeeri ne Yusufu ne basembayo.
3 And he passed on before them, and bowed himself to the ground seven times, till he came near to his brother.
Ye Yakobo ng’abakulembedde, nga bw’avuunama ku ttaka emirundi musanvu, okutuusa lwe yatuuka okumpi ne muganda we.
4 And Esau ran to meet him, and embraced him, and fell on his neck, and kissed him: and they wept.
Naye Esawu n’adduka okumusisinkana, n’amulamusa ng’amugwa mu kifuba n’amunywegera; bombi ne bakaaba.
5 And he lifted up his eyes, and saw the women and the children; and said, Who are those with thee? And he said, The children whom God hath graciously given to thy servant.
Esawu bwe yayimusa amaaso ge n’alaba abakazi n’abaana, n’abuuza Yakobo nti, “Bano baani abali naawe?” Yakobo n’amuddamu nti, “Be baana Katonda baawadde omuddu wo mu kisa kye.”
6 Then the handmaidens came near, they and their children, and they bowed themselves.
Awo abaweereza be abakazi n’abaana baabwe ne basembera, ne bavuunama, mu ngeri y’emu.
7 And Leah also with her children came near, and bowed themselves: and after came Joseph near and Rachel, and they bowed themselves.
Leeya n’abaana be nabo ne basembera ne bavuunama. Oluvannyuma Yusufu ne Laakeeri ne basembera nabo ne bavuunama.
8 And he said, What meanest thou by all this drove which I met? And he said, These are to find grace in the sight of my lord.
Esawu n’abuuza Yakobo nti, “Otegeezaaki olwa bino byonna bye nsanze?” Yakobo n’addamu nti, “Lwa kufuna kusaasirwa kwa mukama wange.”
9 And Esau said, I have enough, my brother; keep what thou hast to thyself.
Naye ye Esawu n’amugamba nti, “Bye nnina bimmala, muganda wange, by’olina beera nabyo.”
10 And Jacob said, Nay, I pray thee, if now I have found grace in thy sight, then receive my present at my hand: for therefore I have seen thy face, as though I had seen the face of God, and thou hast been pleased with me.
Yakobo n’amuddamu nti, “Nedda nkwegayiridde, obanga nfunye okusaasirwa mu maaso go, kale kkiriza ekirabo kyange ekivudde mu ngalo zange. Kubanga ddala okulaba ku maaso go kiri ng’okulaba amaaso ga Katonda, olw’ekisa ekyo ky’onnyaniririzzaamu.
11 Take, I pray thee, my blessing that is brought to thee; because God hath dealt graciously with me, and because I have enough. And he urged him, and he took it.
Nkwegayiridde kkiriza ekirabo kyange ekikuleeteddwa, kubanga Katonda andaze ekisa kye, era siri mu bwetaavu.” Bw’atyo Esawu n’akikkiriza.
12 And he said, Let us take our journey, and let us go, and I will go before thee.
Awo Esawu n’agamba nti, “Kale tutambule, nze nzija okukukulemberamu.”
13 And he said to him, My lord knoweth that the children are tender, and the flocks and herds with young are with me: and if men should overdrive them one day, all the flock will die.
Naye Yakobo n’amuddamu nti, “Mukama wange amanyi nti abaana banafu, era n’ebisibo biyonsa, era singa bitambuzibwa awatali busaasizi bijja kufa.
14 Let my lord, I pray thee, pass over before his servant: and I will lead on slowly, according as the cattle that go before me and the children are able to endure, until I come to my lord to Seir.
Mukama wange k’aleke omuddu we, nze nzija kujja mpola, okusinziira ku ntambula y’ebisolo ebikulembedde, era ne ku ntambula y’abaana, okutuusa lwe ndituuka mu Seyiri.”
15 And Esau said, Let me now leave with thee some of the people that are with me. And he said, What needeth it? let me find grace in the sight of my lord.
Awo Esawu n’agamba Yakobo nti, “Kale ka ndeke abamu ku basajja abali nange.” Naye Yakobo n’amuddamu nti, “Tekyetaagisa. Kale nsaba ekisa mu maaso ga mukama wange.”
16 So Esau returned that day on his way to Seir.
Bw’atyo Esawu n’addayo ku lunaku olwo mu Seyiri.
17 And Jacob journeyed to Succoth, and built for himself an house, and made booths for his cattle: therefore the name of the place is called Succoth.
Naye Yakobo n’alaga mu Sukkosi, ne yeezimbira ennyumba, n’azimbira n’ensolo ebisiisira; ekifo ekyo kyekiva kiyitibwa Sukkosi.
18 And Jacob came to Shalem, a city of Shechem, which is in the land of Canaan, when he came from Padanaram; and pitched his tent before the city.
Era Yakobo n’atuuka mirembe mu kibuga Sekemu, mu nsi ya Kanani, ng’ava e Padanalaamu, n’asiisira okwolekera ekibuga.
19 And he bought the piece of land, where he had spread his tent, at the hand of the children of Hamor, Shechem’s father, for an hundred pieces of money.
Abaana ba Kamoli kitaawe wa Sekemu ne bamuguza ekitundu mwe yasiisira, n’abasasula ebitundu bya ffeeza kikumi.
20 And he built there an altar, and called it Elelohe-Israel.
N’azimbira eyo ekyoto n’akiyita Ekyoto kya Katonda wa Isirayiri.
