Genesisi 33
1 Jakobho akasimudza meso ake ndokuona hoyo Esau, achiuya ana varume mazana mana; saka akaparadzanisa vana pakati paRea naRakeri navarandakadzi vaviri.
Now Jacob looked up and saw Esau coming toward him with four hundred men. So he divided the children among Leah, Rachel, and the two maidservants.
2 Akaisa varandakadzi navana vavo pamberi, Rea navana vake vachitevera, uye Rakeri naJosefa mumashure.
He put the maidservants and their children in front, Leah and her children next, and Rachel and Joseph at the rear.
3 Iye pachake akatungamira mberi akakotamira pasi kanomwe paakanga oswedera kumukoma wake.
But Jacob himself went on ahead and bowed to the ground seven times as he approached his brother.
4 Asi Esau akamhanya kundosangana naye akamumbundikira mumutsipa namaoko ake uye akamutsvoda. Uye vakachema.
Esau, however, ran to him and embraced him, threw his arms around his neck, and kissed him. And they both wept.
5 Ipapo Esau akasimudza meso ake akaona madzimai navana. Akamubvunza akati, “Ndivanaaniko ava vaunavo?” Jakobho akapindura akati, “Ndivo vana vakapiwa muranda wenyu naMwari.”
When Esau looked up and saw the women and children, he asked, “Who are these with you?” Jacob answered, “These are the children God has graciously given your servant.”
6 Ipapo varandakadzi navana vavo vakaswedera uye vakakotama pasi.
Then the maidservants and their children approached and bowed down.
7 Zvimwe chetezvo, Rea navana vake vakasvika uye vakakotama pasi. Mushure mavo vose Josefa naRakeri, naivowo vakakotama pasi.
Leah and her children also approached and bowed down, and then Joseph and Rachel approached and bowed down.
8 Esau akati, “Ko, unorevei namapoka ose andasangana nawo aya?” Iye akati, “Kuti ndiwane nyasha pamberi penyu, ishe wangu.”
“What do you mean by sending this whole company to meet me?” asked Esau. “To find favor in your sight, my lord,” Jacob answered.
9 Asi Esau akati, “Ndatova nezvizhinji, mununʼuna wangu. Chizvichengetera iwe zvaunazvo.”
“I already have plenty, my brother,” Esau replied. “Keep what belongs to you.”
10 Jakobho akati, “Kwete ndapota! Kana ndawana nyasha kwamuri gamuchirai henyu chipo ichi kubva kwandiri. Nokuti kuona chiso chenyu kunenge kuona chiso chaMwari, sezvo zvino mandigamuchira zvakanaka kudai.
But Jacob insisted, “No, please! If I have found favor in your sight, then receive this gift from my hand. For indeed, I have seen your face, and it is like seeing the face of God, since you have received me favorably.
11 Ndapota, gamuchirai chipo chandakuvigirai, nokuti Mwari akandiitira nyasha uye ndine zvose zvandinoda.” Uye nokuda kwokuti Jakobho akaramba achimugombedzera, Esau akazochigamuchira.
Please accept my gift that was brought to you, because God has been gracious to me and I have all I need.” So Jacob pressed him until he accepted.
12 Ipapo Esau akati, “Ngatiendei zvedu; ndichakuperekedzai.”
Then Esau said, “Let us be on our way, and I will go ahead of you.”
13 Asi Jakobho akati kwaari, “Ishe wangu anoziva kuti vana vachiri vaduku uye kuti ndinofanira kuchengetedza makwai nemombe dziri kunwisa. Kana zvikanyanya kutinhwa nezuva rimwe chete, zvingazofa.
But Jacob replied, “My lord knows that the children are frail, and I must care for sheep and cattle that are nursing their young. If they are driven hard for even a day, all the animals will die.
14 Saka ishe wangu ngaatungamire hake mberi kwomuranda wake, ini ndichifamba hangu zvishoma zvishoma nenhambwe dzinoenderana nezvipfuwo zviri mberi kwangu, uyewo zvinoenderana navana, kudzamara ndasvika kuna she wangu kuSeiri.”
Please let my lord go ahead of his servant. I will continue on slowly, at a comfortable pace for the livestock and children, until I come to my lord at Seir.”
15 Esau akati, “Zvino chirega ndisiye vamwe vanhu vangu newe.” Jakobho akabvunza akati, “Asi mungaitireiko izvozvo? Regai ndiwane nyasha pamberi pashe wangu bedzi.”
“Let me leave some of my people with you,” Esau said. But Jacob replied, “Why do that? Let me find favor in the sight of my lord.”
16 Saka pazuva iroro, Esau akapinda munzira yake akadzokera kuSeiri.
So that day Esau started on his way back to Seir,
17 Zvisinei hazvo, Jakobho akaenda kuSukoti, kwaakazvivakira imba yake uye akaitirawo zvipfuwo zvake matanga. Ndokusaka nzvimbo iyo ichinzi Sukoti.
but Jacob went on to Succoth, where he built a house for himself and shelters for his livestock; that is why the place was called Succoth.
18 Shure kwokubva kwaJakobho kuPadhani Aramu, akasvika zvakanaka kuguta reShekemu muKenani uye akadzika musasa wake pakatarisana neguta.
After Jacob had come from Paddan-aram, he arrived safely at the city of Shechem in the land of Canaan, and he camped just outside the city.
19 Akatenga nzvimbo yaakadzika matende ake kubva kuvanakomana vaHamori, baba vaShekemu nezana resirivha.
And the plot of ground where he pitched his tent, he purchased from the sons of Hamor, Shechem’s father, for a hundred pieces of silver.
20 Akavaka aritari ipapo uye akaitumidza zita rokuti Eri Erohe Israeri.
There he set up an altar and called it El-Elohe-Israel.
