1 Yaaqoobis ol jedhee ilaalee kunoo Esaawu namoota dhibba afur wajjin utuu dhufaa jiruu arge; innis Liyaatti, Raahelii fi xomboreewwan lamaanitti ijoollee gargari hire.
And Jacob lifted up his eyes, and looked, and behold, Esau came, and with him four hundred men. And he divided the children unto Leah, and unto Rachel, and unto the two handmaids.
2 Xomboreewwanii fi ijoollee isaanii dura aanse; Liyaa fi ijoollee ishee itti aansee, Raahelii fi Yoosefin immoo dugda duuba buuse.
And he put the handmaids and their children foremost, and Leah and her children after, and Rachel and Joseph hindermost.
3 Ofii isaatii immoo isaan dura darbee hamma obboleessa isaa bira gaʼutti yeroo torba lafatti gad jedhee harka fuudhe.
And he himself passed on before them, and bowed himself to the ground seven times, until he came near to his brother.
4 Esaawu garuu Yaaqoobin simachuuf itti fiigee isa hammate; morma isaattis marmee isa dhungate. Isaan lachanuu walitti booʼan.
And Esau ran to meet him, and embraced him, and fell on his neck, and kissed him; and they wept.
5 Esaawus ol jedhee ilaalee dubartootaa fi ijoollee argee, “Warri si wajjin jiran kunneen eenyu?” jedhee gaafate. Yaaqoobis deebise, “Isaan ijoollee Waaqni arjummaadhaan ana garbicha keetiif kennee dha” jedhe.
And he lifted up his eyes, and saw the women and the children; and said, Who are these with thee? And he said, The children whom God hath graciously given thy servant.
6 Xomboreewwanii fi ijoolleen isaanii dhiʼaatanii gad jedhanii harka fuudhan.
Then came the handmaids near, they and their children, and they bowed themselves.
7 Itti aansaniis Liyaa fi ijoolleen ishee dhufanii gad jedhanii harka fuudhan. Dhuma irratti immoo Yoosefii fi Raahel dhufanii gad jedhani harka fuudhan.
And Leah also with her children came near, and they bowed themselves; and after that came Joseph near and Rachel, and they bowed themselves.
8 Esaawu, “Bushaayee fi loon ani argu kun hundi maali?” jedhee gaafate. Yaaqoobis, “Ani fuula kee fuula gooftaa koo duratti fudhatama argachuuf jedhee ti” jedhe.
And he said, What meanest thou by all this drove which I have met? And he said, To find grace in the eyes of my lord.
9 Esaawu immoo, “Yaa obboleessa koo ani waan na gaʼu qaba. Ati waan qabdu ofuma keetii hambifadhu” jedheen.
And Esau said, I have enough, my brother, keep unto thyself what thou hast.
10 Yaaqoobis akkana jedhe; “Maaloo akkas miti! Yoo ani fuula kee duratti fudhatama argadhee jiraadhe, kennaa kana na harkaa fudhadhu. Egaa amma ati fuula tolaadhaan na simatteerta; fuula kee arguun anaaf akkuma fuula Waaqaa arguutii.
And Jacob said, This must not be, I pray thee; if I have but found grace in thy eyes, then do thou receive my present at my hand; since I have seen thy face, it is as though I had seen the face of an angel, and because thou hast received me kindly.
11 Sababii Waaqni natti arjoomee anis waan na barbaachisu hunda qabuuf maaloo kennaa ani siif fide kana fudhadhu.” Esaawus waan Yaaqoob cimsee isa kadhateef kennaa sana ni fudhate.
Take, I pray thee, my present that is brought to thee; because God hath dealt graciously with me, and because I have a plenty of all. And he urged him, and he took it.
12 Esaawus, “Kottu karaa keenya itti fufnee haa deemnu; ani si dura nan buʼaa” jedhe.
And he said, Let us depart, and move farther, and I will travel near thee.
13 Yaaqoob garuu akkana isaan jedhe; “Akka ijoolleen dadhaboo taʼanii fi akka anis hoolotaa fi saawwan hoosisaniif kunuunsa gochuu qabu ati gooftaan koo ni beekta. Horiin kunneen yoo guyyuma tokkoon jarjarsuudhaan oofaman hundi isaanii ni dhumu.
And he said unto him, My lord knoweth that the children are tender, and the flocks and herds with young are a charge on me: and if they should overdrive them one day, all the flock would die.
14 Gooftaan koo garbicha isaa dura darbee haa deemu; ani immoo hamman Seeʼiiritti gooftaa koo qaqqabutti akkuma humna bushaayee fuula koo dura jirutii fi akkuma humna ijoolleetti suuta jedhee nan deema.”
Let my lord, I pray thee, pass on before his servant: and I will lead on slowly, according to the cattle that goeth before me and the children may be able to travel, until I come unto my lord unto Seir.
15 Esaawus, “Yoos namoota koo keessaa muraasa si biratti nan dhiisa” jedhe. Yaaqoob immoo, “Kun maaliif barbaachisaa? Fuula gooftaa koo duratti fudhatama argachuun qofti na gaʼa” jedhe.
And Esau said, Let me, I pray thee, leave with thee some of the people that are with me. And he said, What needeth it? let me only final grace in the eyes of my lord.
16 Esaawus guyyuma sana karaa isaa irra Seeʼiiritti deebiʼe.
So Esau returned that day on his way unto Seir.
17 Yaaqoob garuu Sukooti dhaqee achitti ofii isaatiif mana ijaarrate; horii isaatiif immoo daasii ijaare. Kanaafuu iddoon sun Suukooti jedhame.
And Jacob journeyed to Succoth and built himself a house, and for his cattle he made booths; therefore he called the name of the place Succoth.
18 Yaaqoob erga kaaba dhiʼa Phaadaan Arraamiitii deebiʼee booddee nagaan magaalaa Sheekem ishee biyya Kanaʼaan keessaa sana gaʼee fuula magaalattii dura qubate.
And Jacob came in good health to the city of Shechem, which is in the land of Canaan, when he came from Padan-aram; and he encamped before the city.
19 Innis lafa dunkaana isaa irra dhaabate sana ilmaan Hamoor irraa meetii dhibbaan bitate; Hamoor immoo abbaa Sheekem.
And he bought the parcel of the field, where he had spread his tent, at the hand of the children of Chamor, the father of Shechem, for a hundred kessitah.
20 Yaaqoobis achitti iddoo aarsaa ijaaree El Elohee Israaʼel jedhee moggaase.
And he erected there an altar, and called it, El-Elohe-Yisrael.
