Kĩambĩrĩria 33
1 Na rĩrĩ, Jakubu agĩtiira maitho, akĩona Esaũ agĩũka arĩ na andũ ake magana mana; nĩ ũndũ ũcio akĩgayania ciana kũrĩ Lea na Rakeli na kũrĩ ndungata iria igĩrĩ cia andũ-a-nja.
And Jacob lifts up his eyes, and looks, and behold, Esau is coming, and with him four hundred men; and he divides the children to Leah, and to Rachel, and to the two maidservants;
2 Akĩiga ndungata cia andũ-a-nja na ciana ciacio mbere, nake Lea na ciana ciake makĩrũmĩrĩra, nake Rakeli na Jusufu makĩrigia thuutha.
and he sets the maidservants and their children first, and Leah and her children behind, and Rachel and Joseph last.
3 Nake we mwene akĩmatongoria, na rĩrĩa aakuhĩrĩirie mũrũ wa nyina, akĩinamĩrĩra, agĩturumithia ũthiũ wake thĩ maita mũgwanja.
And he himself passed over before them, and bows himself to the earth seven times, until his drawing near to his brother,
4 No Esaũ akĩhanyũka agatũnge Jakubu na akĩmũnyiita, akĩmũhĩmbĩria, akĩmũmumunya. Nao makĩrĩranĩra.
and Esau runs to meet him, and embraces him, and falls on his neck, and kisses him, and they weep;
5 Ningĩ Esaũ agĩtiira maitho akĩona atumia na ciana. Akĩũria Jakubu atĩrĩ, “Andũ aya mũrĩ nao nĩ a ũ?” Jakubu agĩcookia atĩrĩ, “Ici nĩ ciana iria Ngai aheete ndungata yaku nĩ ũndũ wa ũtugi wake.”
and he lifts up his eyes, and sees the women and the children, and says, “What [are] these to you?” And he says, “The children with whom God has favored your servant.”
6 Hĩndĩ ĩyo ndungata icio cia andũ-a-nja na ciana ciacio igĩkuhĩrĩria na makĩinamĩrĩra.
And the maidservants draw near, they and their children, and bow themselves;
7 Lea na ciana ciake makĩrũmĩrĩra, magĩũka na makĩinamĩrĩra. Marigĩrĩrio, Jusufu na Rakeli magĩũka, o nao makĩinamĩrĩra.
and Leah also draws near, and her children, and they bow themselves; and afterward Joseph has drawn near with Rachel, and they bow themselves.
8 Esaũ akĩũria atĩrĩ, “Nĩ kĩĩ gĩtũmi gĩa kũndũmĩra ikundi icio ndatũnga?” Nake Jakubu agĩcookia atĩrĩ, “Nĩgeetha njĩtĩkĩrĩke maitho-inĩ maku, wee mwathi wakwa.”
And he says, “What to you [is] all this camp which I have met?” And he says, “To find grace in the eyes of my lord.”
9 No Esaũ akiuga atĩrĩ, “Mũrũ wa maitũ, niĩ ndĩ na indo cia kũnjigana. Ikara na icio ũrĩ nacio wee mwene.”
And Esau says, “I have abundance, my brother, that which you have, let it be for yourself.”
10 Jakubu akiuga atĩrĩ, “Aca, ndagũthaitha! Angĩkorwo nĩnjĩtĩkĩrĩkĩte maitho-inĩ maku-rĩ, amũkĩra kĩheo gĩkĩ kuuma kũrĩ niĩ. Nĩ ũndũ kuona ũthiũ waku no ta kuona ũthiũ wa Ngai, tondũ nĩ wanyamũkĩra na gĩkeno.
And Jacob says, “No, please, now if I have found grace in your eyes, then you have received my present from my hand, because that I have seen your face, as the seeing of the face of God, and you are pleased with me;
11 Ndagũthaitha ĩtĩkĩra kĩheo kĩu ũreheirwo, tondũ Ngai nĩanjĩkĩte wega, na ndĩ na indo cia kũnjigana.” Na tondũ Jakubu nĩamũringĩrĩirie-rĩ, Esaũ agĩciĩtĩkĩra.
please receive my blessing which is brought to you, because God has favored me, and because I have all [things]”; and he presses on him, and he receives [it],
12 Ningĩ Esaũ akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Nĩtũthiĩ; nĩngũtwarana nawe.”
and says, “Let us journey and go on, and I go on before you.”
13 No Jakubu akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Mwathi wakwa nĩoĩ atĩ twana tũtũ tũtirĩ na hinya, na no nginya menyerere ngʼondu na ngʼombe iria irongithia. Ingĩtwarwo na ihenya o na mũthenya ũmwe, nyamũ ciothe no ikue.
And he says to him, “My lord knows that the children [are] tender, and the suckling flock and the herd [are] with me; when they have beaten them one day, then all the flock has died.
14 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio mwathi wakwa nĩathiiage mbere ya ndungata yake, na niĩ thiĩ o kahora kũringana na mũthiĩre wa ikundi ici, o na wa ciana, nginya rĩrĩa ngaakinya kwa mwathi wakwa kũu Seiru.”
Please let my lord pass over before his servant, and I lead on gently, according to the foot of the work which [is] before me, and to the foot of the children, until I come to my lord, to Seir.”
15 Esaũ akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “No kĩreke ngũtigĩre ndungata imwe ciakwa.” Jakubu akĩmũũria atĩrĩ, “Ũgwĩka ũguo nĩkĩ? Reke niĩ njĩtĩkĩrĩke maitho-inĩ ma mwathi wakwa.”
And Esau says, “Please let me place with you some of the people who [are] with me”; and he said, “Why [is] this? I find grace in the eyes of my lord.”
16 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Esaũ akĩhũndũka mũthenya o ro ũcio agĩthiĩ arorete Seiru.
And Esau turns back on that day on his way to Seir;
17 Nowe Jakubu, agĩthiĩ Sukothu, kũrĩa eyakĩire nyũmba, na agĩthondeka ciugũ cia mahiũ make. Nĩkĩo handũ hau hetagwo Sukothu.
and Jacob has journeyed to Succoth, and builds a house for himself, and has made shelters for his livestock, therefore he has called the name of the place Succoth.
18 Thuutha wa Jakubu kuuma Padani-Aramu, agĩkinya o wega itũũra-inĩ rĩrĩa inene rĩa Shekemu kũu Kaanani, na akĩamba hema hakuhĩ na itũũra rĩu inene.
And Jacob comes safe [to the] city of Shechem, which [is] in the land of Canaan, in his coming from Padan-Aram, and encamps before the city,
19 Nake akĩgũra gĩcunjĩ kĩa mũgũnda na betha igana rĩmwe kuuma kũrĩ ariũ a Hamoru ithe wa Shekemu, harĩa aambire hema yake.
and he buys the portion of the field where he has stretched out his tent, from the hand of the sons of Hamor, father of Shechem, for one hundred kesitah;
20 Agĩaka kĩgongona handũ hau, na agĩgĩĩta Eli-Elohe-Isiraeli.
and he sets up there an altar, and proclaims at it God—the God of Israel.
