1 UJakobe wasephakamisa amehlo akhe, wabona, khangela-ke, uEsawu esiza lamadoda angamakhulu amane kanye laye. Wasesehlukanisa abantwana phakathi kukaLeya loRasheli lencekukazi zombili.
And he lifted up Jacob eyes his and he saw and there! Esau [was] coming and [were] with him four hundred man and he divided the children with Leah and with Rachel and with [the] two the maidservants.
2 Wasebeka izincekukazi labantwana bazo ngaphambili, loLeya labantwana bakhe ngemuva, loRasheli loJosefa ekucineni.
And he put the maidservants and children their first and Leah and children her behind and Rachel and Joseph behind.
3 Yena uqobo wasesedlula phambi kwabo, wakhothamela emhlabathini kasikhombisa waze wafika eduze lomnewabo.
And he he passed on before them and he bowed down [the] ground towards seven times until drew near he to brother his.
4 UEsawu wasegijima ukumhlangabeza, wamgona, wawela entanyeni yakhe, wamanga; basebekhala inyembezi.
And he ran Esau to meet him and he embraced him and he fell on (neck his *Q(k)*) and he kissed him and they wept.
5 Wasephakamisa amehlo akhe wabona abesifazana labantwana, wathi: Ngobani laba olabo? Wasesithi: Abantwana uNkulunkulu ngomusa ayinike bona inceku yakho.
And he lifted up eyes his and he saw the women and the children and he said who? [are] these to you and he said the children whom he has shown favor to God servant your.
6 Zasezisondela incekukazi, zona labantwana bazo, bakhothama.
And they approached the maidservants they and children their and they bowed down.
7 Laye uLeya wasesondela labantwana bakhe, bakhothama; emva kwalokho uJosefa wasondela loRasheli, bakhothama.
And she approached also Leah and children her and they bowed down and after he approached Joseph and Rachel and they bowed down.
8 Wasesithi: Uqondeni ngaleli iqembu lonke engihlangene lalo? Wasesithi: Ukuthola umusa emehlweni enkosi yami.
And he said who? to you [is] all the camp this which I have met and he said to find favor in [the] eyes of lord my.
9 UEsawu wasesithi: Ngilokunengi, mfowethu; okwakho kakube ngokwakho.
And he said Esau there [belongs] to me much O brother my let it be[long] to you [that] which [belongs] to you.
10 UJakobe wasesithi: Hayi bo! Uba khathesi ngithole umusa emehlweni akho, yemukela isipho sami esivela esandleni sami; ngoba yikho ngibone ubuso bakho kunjengokuthi ngibone ubuso bukaNkulunkulu, njalo wathokoza ngami.
And he said Jacob may not [it be] please if please I have found favor in view your and you will accept gift my from hand my for since I have seen face your like seeing [the] face of God and you have accepted favorably me.
11 Ake wemukele isipho sami esilethwa kuwe; ngoba uNkulunkulu ungiphile ngomusa, njalo ngoba ngilakho konke. Wasemncenga, waze wasemukela.
Take please blessing my which it was brought to you for he has shown favor to me God and that there [belongs] to me everything and he urged him and he took [it].
12 Wasesithi: Asisuke sihambe, njalo ngizahamba phambi kwakho.
And he said let us set out and let us go and I will go to before you.
13 Kodwa wathi kuye: Inkosi yami iyazi ukuthi abantwana babuthakathaka, lokuthi izimvu lezinkomo engilazo ziyenyisa; uba-ke beziqhuba ngamandla usuku olulodwa, umhlambi wonke uzakufa.
And he said to him lord my [is] knowing that the children [are] weak and the sheep and the cattle [are] nursing with me and people will drive hard them a day one and they will die all the flock.
14 Inkosi yami ake yedlule phambi kwenceku yayo; mina-ke ngizaqhubeka kuhle kuhle, ngokuhamba komsebenzi ophambi kwami, langokuhamba kwabantwana, ngize ngifike enkosini yami eSeyiri.
Let him pass on please lord my before servant his and I (I will journey on *LBH(a)*) to gentleness my to [the] foot of the property which [is] before me and to [the] foot of the children until that I will come to lord my Seir towards.
15 UEsawu wasesithi: Ake ngibeke kuwe abanye babantu abalami. Wasesithi: Kungani lokhu? Kangithole umusa emehlweni enkosi yami.
And he said Esau let me place please with you some of the people which [is] with me and he said why? this let me find favor in [the] eyes of lord my.
16 UEsawu wasebuyela ngendlela yakhe ngalolosuku, waya eSeyiri.
And he returned on the day that Esau to way his Seir towards.
17 Njalo uJakobe waqhubeka waya eSukothi, wazakhela indlu, wenzela izifuyo zakhe izibaya ezilophahla; ngakho wayitha ibizo lendawo iSukothi.
And Jacob he set out Succoth towards and he built for himself a house and for livestock his he made shelters there-fore he called [the] name of the place Succoth.
18 UJakobe wasefika evikelekile emzini weShekema, oselizweni leKhanani, ekuveleni kwakhe ePadani-Arama; wamisa inkamba phambi komuzi.
And he came Jacob safe [the] city of Shechem which [is] in [the] land of Canaan when came he from Paddan Aram and he camped with [the] face of the city.
19 Njalo ingxenye yesiqinti amisela kuyo amathente akhe wayithenga esandleni samadodana kaHamori uyise kaShekema, ngezinhlamvu zemali ezilikhulu.
And he bought [the] portion of the field where he had pitched there tent his from [the] hand of [the] sons of Hamor [the] father of Shechem for a hundred piece[s] of money.
20 Wasemisa khona ilathi, walibiza ngokuthi yiEli-Elohe-Israyeli.
And he set up there an altar and he called it El Elohe Israel.
