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 lifteth up his eyes, and looketh, and lo, Esau is coming, and with him four hundred men; and he divideth the children unto Leah, and unto Rachel, and unto the two maid-servants;
2 Xomboreewwanii fi ijoollee isaanii dura aanse; Liyaa fi ijoollee ishee itti aansee, Raahelii fi Yoosefin immoo dugda duuba buuse.
and he setteth the maid-servants and their children first, and Leah and her children behind, and Rachel and Joseph last.
3 Ofii isaatii immoo isaan dura darbee hamma obboleessa isaa bira gaʼutti yeroo torba lafatti gad jedhee harka fuudhe.
And he himself passed over before them, and boweth himself to the earth seven times, until his drawing nigh unto his brother,
4 Esaawu garuu Yaaqoobin simachuuf itti fiigee isa hammate; morma isaattis marmee isa dhungate. Isaan lachanuu walitti booʼan.
and Esau runneth to meet him, and embraceth him, and falleth on his neck, and kisseth him, and they weep;
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 lifteth up his eyes, and seeth the women and the children, and saith, 'What [are] these to thee?' And he saith, 'The children with whom God hath favoured thy servant.'
6 Xomboreewwanii fi ijoolleen isaanii dhiʼaatanii gad jedhanii harka fuudhan.
And the maid-servants draw nigh, they and their children, and bow 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 draweth nigh, and her children, and they bow themselves; and afterwards Joseph hath drawn nigh with Rachel, and they bow 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 saith, 'What to thee [is] all this camp which I have met?' and he saith, '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 saith, 'I have abundance, my brother, let it be to thyself that which 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 saith, 'Nay, I pray thee, if, I pray thee, I have found grace in thine eyes, then thou hast received my present from my hand, because that I have seen thy face, as the seeing of the face of God, and thou art pleased with me;
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.
receive, I pray thee, my blessing, which is brought to thee, because God hath favoured me, and because I have all [things];' and he presseth on him, and he receiveth,
12 Esaawus, “Kottu karaa keenya itti fufnee haa deemnu; ani si dura nan buʼaa” jedhe.
and saith, 'Let us journey and go on, and I go on before 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 saith unto him, 'My lord knoweth that the children [are] tender, and the suckling flock and the herd [are] with me; when they have beaten them one day, then hath all the flock died.
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 over before his servant, and I — I lead on gently, according to the foot of the work which [is] before me, and to the foot of the children, until that I come unto my lord, to 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 saith, 'Let me, I pray thee, place with thee some of the people who [are] with me;' and he said, 'Why [is] this? I find grace in the eyes of my lord.'
16 Esaawus guyyuma sana karaa isaa irra Seeʼiiritti deebiʼe.
And turn back on that day doth Esau on his way to Seir;
17 Yaaqoob garuu Sukooti dhaqee achitti ofii isaatiif mana ijaarrate; horii isaatiif immoo daasii ijaare. Kanaafuu iddoon sun Suukooti jedhame.
and Jacob hath journeyed to Succoth, and buildeth to himself a house, and for his cattle hath made booths, therefore hath 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 cometh in to Shalem, a city of Shechem, which [is] in the land of Canaan, in his coming from Padan-Aram, and encampeth before the city,
19 Innis lafa dunkaana isaa irra dhaabate sana ilmaan Hamoor irraa meetii dhibbaan bitate; Hamoor immoo abbaa Sheekem.
and he buyeth the portion of the field where he hath stretched out his tent, from the hand of the sons of Hamor, father of Shechem, for a hundred kesitah;
20 Yaaqoobis achitti iddoo aarsaa ijaaree El Elohee Israaʼel jedhee moggaase.
and he setteth up there an altar, and proclaimeth at it God — the God of Israel.
