Genesisy 33
1 Ary Jakoba dia nanopy ny masony ka nahatazana fa indro tamy Esao, mitondra efa-jato lahy. Dia nozarazarainy ny zaza ho amin’ i Lea sy Rahely ary ho amin’ ny ankizivavy roa.
Jacob looked up and, behold, Esau was coming, and with him were four hundred men. Jacob divided the children among Leah, Rachel, and the two female servants.
2 Ary nataony loha-lalana ny ankizivavy roa sy ny zanany, ary Lea sy ny zanany nanarakaraka, ary Rahely sy Josefa no vodi-lalana.
Then he put the female servants and their children in front, followed by Leah and her children, and followed by Rachel and Joseph last of all.
3 Ary Jakoba nandeha teo alohan’ izy rehetra ka niankohoka impito tamin’ ny tany mandra-pahatongany teo akaikin’ ny rahalahiny.
He himself went on ahead of them. He bowed toward the ground seven times, until he came near to his brother.
4 Dia nihazakazaka hitsena azy Esao, ary nisakambina ny tendany, dia namihina sy nanoroka azy; ary samy nitomany izy mirahalahy.
Esau ran to meet him, embraced him, hugged his neck, and kissed him. Then they wept.
5 Ary Esao nanopy ny masony ka nahita ny zaza amim-behivavy; dia hoy izy: Iza moa ireto miaraka aminao ireto? Ary hoy kosa Jakoba: Ny zaza izay nomen’ Andriamanitra ny mpanomponao noho ny fahasoavany.
When Esau looked up, he saw the women and the children. He said, “Who are these people with you?” Jacob said, “The children whom God has graciously given your servant.”
6 Dia nanatona ny ankizivavy sy ny zanany ka niankohoka.
Then the female servants came forward with their children, and they bowed down.
7 Dia nanatona koa Lea sy ny zanany ka niankohoka; ary farany, dia nanatona koa Josefa sy Rahely ka niankohoka.
Next Leah also and her children came forward and bowed down. Finally Joseph and Rachel came forward and bowed down.
8 Ary hoy Esao: Inona moa no hevitr’ ireny antokony rehetra nifanena tamiko ireny? Ary hoy izy: Mba hahitako fitia eto imason’ itompokolahy.
Esau said, “What do you mean by all these groups that I met?” Jacob said, “To find favor in the sight of my master.”
9 Ary dia hoy Esao: Manam-be ihany aho, ry rahalahiko; aoka ihany ho anao ny anao.
Esau said, “I have enough, my brother. Keep what you have for yourself.”
10 Ary hoy Jakoba: Trarantitra ianao, aza an’ izany; raha mba mahita fitia eto imasonao aho, dia raiso amin’ ny tanako ny zavatra nampanateriko; fa efa nahita ny tavanao aho tahaka ny mahita ny tavan’ Andriamanitra, ary efa sitrakao aho.
Jacob said, “No, please, if I have found favor in your eyes, then accept my gift from my hand, for indeed, I have seen your face, and it is like seeing the face of God, and you have accepted me.
11 Trarantitra ianao, raiso re ny saotro izay nampanaterina ho anao; fa efa nanisy soa ahy Andriamanitra, ka manam-be aho. Dia nanery azy izy, ka dia noraisiny ihany ny zavatra.
Please accept my gift that was brought to you, because God has dealt graciously with me, and because I have enough.” Thus Jacob urged him, and Esau accepted it.
12 Ary hoy Esao: Aoka hiainga isika, ka handeha hialoha anao aho.
Then Esau said, “Let us be on our way. I will go before you.”
13 Fa hoy Jakoba taminy: Fantatr’ itompokolahy fa mbola osa ny zaza, sady ampianahany ny ondry aman’ osy sy ny omby ato amiko; koa raha hokorodonina indray andro aza ireo, dia ho faty avokoa ny ondry aman’ osy rehetra.
Jacob said to him, “My master knows that the children are young, and that the sheep and the cattle are nursing their young. If they are driven hard even one day, all the animals will die.
14 Trarantitra ianao, aoka itompokolahy hialoha ny mpanompony; ary izaho handeha miadana araka izay dian’ ny omby aman’ ondry, izay ho eo alohako, sy ny dian’ ny zaza, mandra-pahatongako any amin’ itompokolahy any Seïra.
Please let my master go on ahead of his servant. I will travel more slowly, at the pace of the livestock that are before me, and at the pace of the children, until I come to my master in Seir.”
15 Ary hoy Esao: Masìna ianao, aoka ary mba hamelako hiaraka aminao ny olona izay momba ahy. Fa hoy Jakoba: Ahoana no anaovanao izany? Aoka hahita fitia eto imason’ itompokolahy aho.
Esau said, “Let me leave with you some of my men who are with me.” But Jacob said, “Why do that? Let me find favor in the sight of my lord.”
16 Dia niverina androtrizay Esao tamin’ ny lalany ho any Seïra.
So Esau that day started on his way back to Seir.
17 Ary Jakoba nifindra nankany Sokota ka nanao trano ho azy ary nanao trano rantsan-kazo maromaro ho an’ ny omby aman’ ondriny; izany no nanaovana ny anaran’ io tany io hoe Sokota.
Jacob traveled to Succoth, built himself a house, and made shelters for his livestock. Therefore the name of the place is called Succoth.
18 Ary Jakoba tonga soa aman-tsara tao an-tanàna Sekema, izay eo amin’ ny tany Kanana, rehefa avy tany Mesopotamia izy; dia nitoby tandrifin’ ny tanàna.
When Jacob came from Paddan Aram, he arrived safely at the city of Shechem, which is in the land of Canaan. He camped near the city.
19 Dia novidiny vola zato tamin’ ny zanak’ i Hamora, rain’ i Sekema, ny tany izay nanorenany ny lainy.
Then he bought the piece of ground where he had pitched his tent from the sons of Hamor, Shechem's father, for a hundred pieces of silver.
20 Ary nanorina alitara teo izy, ka nataony hoe El-elohe-Isiraely ny anarany.
There he set up an altar and called it El Elohe Israel.
