Olubereberye 33
1 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.
And as Iaakob lift vp his eyes, and looked, behold, Esau came, and with him foure hundreth men: and he deuided the children to Leah, and to Rahel, and to the two maides.
2 Abaweereza n’abaana baabwe ne bakulembera, Leeya n’abaana be ne baddako, Laakeeri ne Yusufu ne basembayo.
And he put the maides, and their children formost, and Leah, and her children after, and Rahel, and Ioseph hindermost.
3 Ye Yakobo ng’abakulembedde, nga bw’avuunama ku ttaka emirundi musanvu, okutuusa lwe yatuuka okumpi ne muganda we.
So he went before them and bowed him selfe to the ground seuen times, vntill he came neere to his brother.
4 Naye Esawu n’adduka okumusisinkana, n’amulamusa ng’amugwa mu kifuba n’amunywegera; bombi ne bakaaba.
Then Esau ranne to meete him, and embraced him, and fell on his necke, and kissed him, and they wept.
5 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.”
And he lift vp his eyes, and sawe the women, and the children, and saide, Who are these with thee? And he answered, They are ye childre whome God of his grace hath giuen thy seruant.
6 Awo abaweereza be abakazi n’abaana baabwe ne basembera, ne bavuunama, mu ngeri y’emu.
Then came the maides neere, they, and their children, and bowed themselues.
7 Leeya n’abaana be nabo ne basembera ne bavuunama. Oluvannyuma Yusufu ne Laakeeri ne basembera nabo ne bavuunama.
Leah also with her children came neere and made obeysance: and after Ioseph and Rahel drew neere, and did reuerence.
8 Esawu n’abuuza Yakobo nti, “Otegeezaaki olwa bino byonna bye nsanze?” Yakobo n’addamu nti, “Lwa kufuna kusaasirwa kwa mukama wange.”
Then he said, What meanest thou by all this droue, which I met? Who answered, I haue sent it, that I may finde fauour in the sight of my lorde:
9 Naye ye Esawu n’amugamba nti, “Bye nnina bimmala, muganda wange, by’olina beera nabyo.”
And Esau said, I haue ynough, my brother: keepe that thou hast to thy selfe.
10 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.
But Iaakob answered, Nay, I pray thee: if I haue found grace nowe in thy sight, then receiue my present at mine hande: for I haue seene thy face, as though I had seene the face of God, because thou hast accepted me.
11 Nkwegayiridde kkiriza ekirabo kyange ekikuleeteddwa, kubanga Katonda andaze ekisa kye, era siri mu bwetaavu.” Bw’atyo Esawu n’akikkiriza.
I pray thee take my blessing, that is brought thee: for God hath had mercie on me, and therefore I haue all things: so he compelled him, and he tooke it.
12 Awo Esawu n’agamba nti, “Kale tutambule, nze nzija okukukulemberamu.”
And he saide, Let vs take our iourney and go, and I will goe before thee.
13 Naye Yakobo n’amuddamu nti, “Mukama wange amanyi nti abaana banafu, era n’ebisibo biyonsa, era singa bitambuzibwa awatali busaasizi bijja kufa.
Then he answered him, My lord knoweth, that the children are tender, and the ewes and kine with yong vnder mine hande: and if they should ouerdriue them one day, all the flocke would die.
14 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.”
Let now my lord go before his seruant, and I will driue softly, according to ye pase of ye cattel, which is before me, and as the children be able to endure, vntill I come to my lord vnto Seir.
15 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.”
Then Esau said, I will leaue then some of my folke with thee. And he answered, what needeth this? let me finde grace in the sight of my lorde.
16 Bw’atyo Esawu n’addayo ku lunaku olwo mu Seyiri.
So Esau returned, and went his way that same day vnto Seir.
17 Naye Yakobo n’alaga mu Sukkosi, ne yeezimbira ennyumba, n’azimbira n’ensolo ebisiisira; ekifo ekyo kyekiva kiyitibwa Sukkosi.
And Iaakob went forwarde towarde Succoth, and built him an house, and made boothes for his cattell: therefore he called the name of the place Succoth.
18 Era Yakobo n’atuuka mirembe mu kibuga Sekemu, mu nsi ya Kanani, ng’ava e Padanalaamu, n’asiisira okwolekera ekibuga.
Afterward, Iaakob came safe to Sheche a citie, which is in the lande of Canaan, when he came from Padan Aram, and pitched before the citie.
19 Abaana ba Kamoli kitaawe wa Sekemu ne bamuguza ekitundu mwe yasiisira, n’abasasula ebitundu bya ffeeza kikumi.
And there he bought a parcell of ground, where hee pitched his tent, at the hande of the sonnes of Hamor Shechems father, for an hundreth pieces of money.
20 N’azimbira eyo ekyoto n’akiyita Ekyoto kya Katonda wa Isirayiri.
And he set vp there an altar, and called it, The mightie God of Israel.
