Genesis 33
1 Timmangad ni Jacob ket, adtoy, sumungsungad ni Esau, ken kadwana iti 400 a lallaki. Biningay ni Jacob dagiti ubbing kada Lea, Raquel ken kadagiti dua nga adipen a babbai.
[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.
2 Ket impasangona dagiti adipen a babbai ken dagiti annakda, simmaruno ni Lea ken dagiti annakna, ken simmaruno ni Raquel kenni Jose a kauddian iti amin.
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.
3 Immun-una isuna ngem kadakuada. Nagpakleb isuna iti naminpito a daras agingga a nakaasideg isuna iti kabsatna.
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.
4 Nagtaray ni Esau a simmabat kenkuana, inarakupna, inapungolna iti tengngedna, ken inagkanna isuna. Ket nagsangitda.
But Esau ran to Jacob. He hugged him, put his arms around his neck, and kissed him on the cheek. And they both cried.
5 Idi kimmita ni Esau, nakitana dagiti babbai ken dagiti ubbing. Kinunana, “Siasino dagitoy a tattao a kakuyogmo? Kinuna ni Jacob, “Dagiti annak a sipaparabur nga inted ti Dios iti adipenmo.”
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.”
6 Ket nagpasango dagiti adipen a babbai ken dagiti annakda, ket nagrukobda.
Then the female slaves and their children came near and bowed in front of Esau.
7 Simmaruno met a nagpasango ni Lea ken dagiti annakna ket nagrukobda. Kamaudiananna, nagpasango ni Jose ken ni Raquel ket nagrukobda.
Then Leah and her children came and bowed down. Finally Joseph and Rachel came near and bowed down.
8 Kinuna ni Esau, “Ania ti kaipapanan amin dagitoy a bunggoy a nasabatko? Kinuna ni Jacob, “Tapno makasarak iti pabor iti imatang ti apok.”
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.”
9 Kinuna ni Esau, “Umdasen ti adda kaniak, kabsatko. Idulinmo dagiti adda kenka a para kenka.
But Esau replied, “My [younger] brother, I have enough animals! Keep for yourself the animals that you have!”
10 Kinuna ni Jacob, “Saan, pangngaasim, no nakasarakak iti pabor iti imatangmo, awatem ngarud ti sagutko manipud kadagiti imak, ta pudno unay, a nakitak ti rupam, ken daytoy ket kasla pannakakita iti rupa ti Dios, ken inawatnak.
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!
11 Pangngaasim ta awatem ti sagutko a naiyeg kenka, gapu ta pinaraburannak ti Dios, ken gapu ta umdasen ti adda kaniak.” Iti kasta, naguyugoy isuna ni Jacob, ket inawat ni Esau dagitoy.
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.
12 Ket kinuna ni Esau, “Intayo garuden. Umun-unaak ngem kadakayo.
Then Esau said, “Let’s continue traveling together, and I will show the road to you.”
13 Kinuna ni Jacob kenkuana, “Ammo ti apok a babassit pay laeng dagiti ubbing, ken addaan iti urbon dagiti arban a kakuyogko. No apuraenda ida iti uray maysa nga aldaw, matayto amin dagiti arban.
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.
14 Umun-una koma ti apok ngem iti adipenna. Agdalliasatak a nainnayad a maitunos iti pannagna dagiti taraken iti sangngoanak, ken maitunos iti pannagna dagiti ubbing, agingga a makadanonak iti ayan ti apok idiay Seir.”
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].”
15 Kinuna ni Esau, “Bay-am koma ngarud nga ibatik kadakayo iti dadduma kadagiti kakaduak a lallaki. Ngem kinuna ni Jacob, “Apay nga aramidem dayta? Nangipakitan ti apok iti naan-anay a kinaimbag kaniak.
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.”
16 Isu nga iti dayta nga aldaw ket inrugi ni Esau a nagsubli idiay Seir.
So on that day Esau left to return to Seir.
17 Nagdaliasat ni Jacob idiay Succot, nangipatakder ti balayna, ken nangaramid kadagiti paglinungan para kadagiti tarakenna. Naawagan ngarud ti lugar iti Succot.
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’].
18 Idi naggapu ni Jacob idiay Padan-aram, nakasangpet isuna a sitatalged idiay siudad ti Sikem, nga adda iti daga ti Canaan. Nagkampo isuna iti asideg ti siudad.
[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.
19 Ket ginatangna iti sangagasut a bagi ti pirak ti paset ti daga a nangibangonanna iti kampona manipud kadagiti annak ni Hamor, nga ama ni Sikem,
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.
20 Nangipatakder isuna sadiay iti altar ket inwaganna daytoy iti El Elohe Israel.
He built a stone altar there, and named it El-Elohe Israel, [which means ‘God, the God of Israel].’
