Jenesis 33
1 Jekọb lepụrụ anya nʼihu, hụ Ịsọ ka ọ na-abịa, ya na narị ndị ikom anọ ndị so ya. Nʼihi ya, o kesara ụmụntakịrị ndị ahụ, nʼetiti Lịa, na Rechel na ndị odibo nwanyị ya abụọ.
And Jacob lifted up his eyes, and saw, and behold! Esau his brother coming, and four hundred men with him; and Jacob divided the children to Lea and to Rachel, and the two handmaidens.
2 O mere ka ndị odibo nwanyị ya abụọ ahụ na ụmụ ha buru ụzọ, Lịa na ụmụ ya esoro nʼazụ, ebe Rechel na Josef nọ nʼazụ azụ.
And he put the two handmaidens and their children with the first, and Lea and her children behind, and Rachel and Joseph last.
3 Ma ya onwe ya buru ụzọ na-aga nʼihu ha niile, na-akpọ isiala nye Ịsọ ugboro asaa, tutu ruo mgbe ọ bịarutere nwanne ya nwoke nso.
But he advanced himself before them, and did reverence to the ground seven times, until he drew near to his brother.
4 Ma Ịsọ gbaara ọsọ bịakwute ya, makụọ ya, jikụọ ya aka nʼolu, sutu ya ọnụ. Ha abụọ kwara akwa.
And Esau ran on to meet him, and embraced him, and fell on his neck, and kissed him; and they both wept.
5 Mgbe Ịsọ lelitere anya hụ ndị inyom ndị a na ụmụntakịrị ndị ahụ. Ọ sịrị, “Ndị ole bụ ndị a gị na ha so?” Jekọb sịrị, “Ha bụ ụmụ Chineke sitere nʼamara ya nye ohu gị.”
And Esau looked up and saw the women and the children, and said, What are these to you? And he said, The children with which God has mercifully blessed your servant.
6 Mgbe ahụ, ndị odibo nwanyị abụọ na ụmụ ha rutere nso, kpọọ isiala.
And the maidservants and their children drew near and did reverence.
7 Lịa na ụmụ ya bịarutekwara kpọọ isiala, nʼikpeazụ Rechel na Josef bịara kpọọkwa isiala.
And Lea and her children drew near and did reverence; and after this drew near Rachel and Joseph, and did reverence.
8 Ịsọ sịrị, “Igwe ewu na atụrụ ndị a niile m zutere nʼụzọ, gịnị ka ọ pụtara?” Jekọb zara, “Ha bụ maka ịnata ihuọma nʼaka gị, onyenwe m.”
And he said, What are these things to you, all these companies that I have met? And he said, That your servant might find grace in your sight, my lord.
9 Ma Ịsọ sịrị, “Nwanne m nwoke, debere onwe gị ihe i nwere, nʼihi na enwere m akụ hie nne.”
And Esau said, I have much, my brother; keep your own.
10 Jekọb sịrị, “E, biko, ọ bụrụ na m achọtala ihuọma nʼanya gị, nara m onyinye ndị a. Nʼihi na ịhụ gị anya dịka ilekwasị Chineke anya nʼihu, nke ka nke, otu a i ji ihu ọcha nabata m.
And Jacob said, If I have found grace in your sight, receive the gifts through my hands; therefore have I seen your face, as if any one should see the face of God, and you shall be well-pleased with me.
11 Biko nara onyinye ndị ahụ e wetaara gị, nʼihi na Chineke emelara m amara. Enwekwara m ihe ga-ezuru m.” Jekọb kwagidere ya, ọ naara onyinye ndị ahụ.
Receive my blessings, which I have brought you, because God has had mercy on me, and I have all things; and he constrained him, and he took [them].
12 Mgbe ahụ, Ịsọ sịrị, “Bilienụ ka anyị malite ije ịlaghachi. Aga m esonyere unu.”
And he said, Let us depart, and proceed right onward.
13 Ma Jekọb sịrị ya, “Onyenwe m, ị maara na ụmụntakịrị ndị a adịghị ike, aga m ejikwa nwayọọ chịa ụmụ atụrụ ndị a na ehi ndị na-enye ụmụ ha ara. Ọ bụrụ na a chịa ha nʼike nʼime otu ụbọchị, ụmụ anụmanụ ndị a niile ga-anwụ.
And he said to him, My lord knows, that the children are very tender, and the flocks and the herds with me are with young; if then I shall drive them hard one day, all the cattle will die.
14 Ya mere, ka onyenwe m buru ohu ya ụzọ na-aga, ma ka m jiri nwayọọ nwayọọ na-abịa, dịka ike igwe anụ ndị a na ụmụaka ndị a si dị. Tutu ruo mgbe m ga-ezute onyenwe m na Sia.”
Let my lord go on before his servant, and I shall have strength on the road according to the ease of the journey before me, and according to the strength of the children, until I come to my lord to Seir.
15 Ịsọ sịrị, “Ọ bụrụ otu a, ka m hapụrụ gị ụfọdụ ndị a mụ na ha so.” Ma Jekọb sịrị, “Nʼihi gịnị kwanụ? Ka m hụta naanị ihuọma nʼanya onyenwe m.”
And Esau said, I will leave with you some of the people who are with me. And he said, Why so? it is enough that I have found favor before you, [my] lord.
16 Ịsọ laghachikwara azụ na Sia nʼotu ụbọchị ahụ.
And Esau returned on that day on his journey to Seir.
17 Ma Jekọb na ezinaụlọ ya jere Sukọt, ebe o wuuru onwe ya ụlọ obibi, wuokwara anụ ụlọ ya ụlọ obibi ha. Ọ bụ nke a mere e ji kpọọ ebe ahụ Sukọt.
And Jacob departs to his tents; and he made for himself there habitations, and for his cattle he made booths; therefore he called the name of that place, Booths.
18 Mgbe Jekọb si Padan Aram lọghachi, o rutere obodo Shekem nke dị nʼala Kenan nʼudo. O mara ụlọ ikwu ya nʼihu obodo ahụ.
And Jacob came to Salem, a city of Secima, which is in the land of Chanaan, when he departed out of Mesopotamia of Syria, and took up a position in front of the city.
19 Ọ zụrụ ala ebe o mara ụlọ ikwu ya nʼaka ụmụ Hamọ, nna Shekem, ọ kwụrụ narị mkpụrụ ọlaọcha maka ala ahụ.
And he bought the portion of the field, where he pitched his tent, of Emmor the father of Sychem, for a hundred lambs.
20 Nʼebe ahụ, o wuru ebe ịchụ aja, kpọọ aha ya El Elohe Izrel.
And he set up there an altar, and called on the God of Israel.
