1 Jakobho akasimudza meso ake ndokuona hoyo Esau, achiuya ana varume mazana mana; saka akaparadzanisa vana pakati paRea naRakeri navarandakadzi vaviri.
Jacob lifted up his eyes, and looked, and, behold, Esau was coming, and with him four hundred men. He divided the children between Leah, Rachel, and the two servants.
2 Akaisa varandakadzi navana vavo pamberi, Rea navana vake vachitevera, uye Rakeri naJosefa mumashure.
He put the servants and their children in front, Leah and her children after, and Rachel and Joseph at the rear.
3 Iye pachake akatungamira mberi akakotamira pasi kanomwe paakanga oswedera kumukoma wake.
He himself passed over in front of them, and bowed himself to the ground seven times, until he came near to his brother.
4 Asi Esau akamhanya kundosangana naye akamumbundikira mumutsipa namaoko ake uye akamutsvoda. Uye vakachema.
Esau ran to meet him, embraced him, fell on his neck, kissed him, and they wept.
5 Ipapo Esau akasimudza meso ake akaona madzimai navana. Akamubvunza akati, “Ndivanaaniko ava vaunavo?” Jakobho akapindura akati, “Ndivo vana vakapiwa muranda wenyu naMwari.”
He lifted up his eyes, and saw the women and the children; and said, “Who are these with you?” He said, “The children whom God has graciously given your servant.”
6 Ipapo varandakadzi navana vavo vakaswedera uye vakakotama pasi.
Then the servants came near with their children, and they bowed themselves.
7 Zvimwe chetezvo, Rea navana vake vakasvika uye vakakotama pasi. Mushure mavo vose Josefa naRakeri, naivowo vakakotama pasi.
Leah also and her children came near, and bowed themselves. After them, Joseph came near with Rachel, and they bowed themselves.
8 Esau akati, “Ko, unorevei namapoka ose andasangana nawo aya?” Iye akati, “Kuti ndiwane nyasha pamberi penyu, ishe wangu.”
Esau said, “What do you mean by all this company which I met?” Jacob said, “To find favor in the sight of my lord.”
9 Asi Esau akati, “Ndatova nezvizhinji, mununʼuna wangu. Chizvichengetera iwe zvaunazvo.”
Esau said, “I have enough, my brother; let that which you have be yours.”
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.
Jacob said, “Please, no, if I have now found favor in your sight, then receive my present at my hand, because I have seen your face, as one sees the face of God, and you were pleased with me.
11 Ndapota, gamuchirai chipo chandakuvigirai, nokuti Mwari akandiitira nyasha uye ndine zvose zvandinoda.” Uye nokuda kwokuti Jakobho akaramba achimugombedzera, Esau akazochigamuchira.
Please take the gift that I brought to you, because God has dealt graciously with me, and because I have enough.” He urged him, and he took it.
12 Ipapo Esau akati, “Ngatiendei zvedu; ndichakuperekedzai.”
Esau said, “Let’s take our journey, and let’s go, and I will go before 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.
Jacob said to him, “My lord knows that the children are tender, and that the flocks and herds with me have their young, and if they overdrive them one day, all the flocks 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 pass over before his servant, and I will lead on gently, according to the pace of the livestock that are before me and according to the pace of the children, until I come to my lord to Seir.”
15 Esau akati, “Zvino chirega ndisiye vamwe vanhu vangu newe.” Jakobho akabvunza akati, “Asi mungaitireiko izvozvo? Regai ndiwane nyasha pamberi pashe wangu bedzi.”
Esau said, “Let me now leave with you some of the people who are with me.” He said, “Why? Let me find favor in the sight of my lord.”
16 Saka pazuva iroro, Esau akapinda munzira yake akadzokera kuSeiri.
So Esau returned that day on his way to Seir.
17 Zvisinei hazvo, Jakobho akaenda kuSukoti, kwaakazvivakira imba yake uye akaitirawo zvipfuwo zvake matanga. Ndokusaka nzvimbo iyo ichinzi Sukoti.
Jacob traveled to Succoth, built himself a house, and made shelters for his livestock. Therefore the name of the place is called Succoth.
18 Shure kwokubva kwaJakobho kuPadhani Aramu, akasvika zvakanaka kuguta reShekemu muKenani uye akadzika musasa wake pakatarisana neguta.
Jacob came in peace to the city of Shechem, which is in the land of Canaan, when he came from Paddan Aram; and encamped before the city.
19 Akatenga nzvimbo yaakadzika matende ake kubva kuvanakomana vaHamori, baba vaShekemu nezana resirivha.
He bought the parcel of ground where he had spread his tent, at the hand of the children of Hamor, Shechem’s father, for one hundred pieces of money.

He erected an altar there, and called it El Elohe Israel.
