Bilowgii 33
1 Markaasaa Yacquub indhihiisii kor u taagay oo wax fiiriyey, wuxuuna arkay Ceesaw oo soo socda, oo afar boqol oo nin wata. Kolkaasuu carruurtii u qaybiyey Lee'ah, iyo Raaxeel, iyo labadii addoon.
[Then Jacob joined the rest of his family]. [Later that day] Jacob looked up and saw Esau coming, and there were 400 men with him. [Jacob was worried because of that], so he separated the children. He put Leah’s children with Leah, Rachel’s children with Rachel, and the two female slaves’ children with their mothers.
2 Markaasuu addoommihii iyo carruurtoodii ugu hor mariyey, Lee'ah iyo carruurteediina wuu ku xigsiiyey, Raaxeel iyo Yuusufna wuu ugu dambaysiiyey.
He put the two female slaves and their children in front. He put Leah and her children next. He put Rachel and Joseph at the rear.
3 Isna markaasuu ka hor gudbay, toddoba goor buuna sujuuday, intuusan walaalkiis u soo dhowaan.
He himself went ahead of them all, and as he continued to approach his older brother, he prostrated himself with his face on the ground seven times.
4 Ceesawna wuu ku soo orday inuu ka hor tago isaga, wuuna isku duubay, oo qoortiisuu dhab yidhi, wuuna dhunkaday, wayna ooyeen.
But Esau ran to Jacob. He hugged him, put his arms around his neck, and kissed him on the cheek. And they both cried.
5 Markaasuu Ceesaw indhihiisii kor u taagay, oo wuxuu arkay dumarkii iyo carruurtii; oo wuxuu ku yidhi, Waa ayo kuwan kula socdaa? Isna wuxuu yidhi, Waa carruurtii Ilaah intuu ii roonaaday i siiyey anoo ah addoonkaaga.
Then Esau looked up and saw the women and the children. He asked, “Who are these people who are with you?” Jacob replied, “These are the wives and children that God has graciously/kindly given to me.”
6 Dabadeedna addoommihii iyo carruurtoodii ayaa u soo dhowaaday, wayna wada sujuudeen.
Then the female slaves and their children came near and bowed in front of Esau.
7 Lee'ah iyo carruurteediina way u soo dhowaadeen, wayna wada sujuudeen; dabadeedna waxaa u soo dhowaaday Yuusuf iyo Raaxeel, wayna sujuudeen.
Then Leah and her children came and bowed down. Finally Joseph and Rachel came near and bowed down.
8 Markaasuu yidhi, Maxaad ula jeeddaa kooxahan iga hor yimid oo dhan? Isna wuxuu yidhi, Inaad raalli iga noqotid, sayidkaygiiyow.
Esau asked, “What is the meaning of all the animals that I saw?” Jacob replied, “I am giving them to you, sir, so that you will feel good toward me.”
9 Ceesawna wuxuu yidhi, Walaalkayow, wax igu filan baan haystaa; ee iska hayso waxaaga.
But Esau replied, “My [younger] brother, I have enough animals! Keep for yourself the animals that you have!”
10 Yacquubna wuxuu yidhi, Maya, waan ku baryayaaye, haddii aad haatan raalli iga tahay, de hadiyaddayda gacantayda ka guddoon; waayo, wejigaaga waxaan u arkay sidii wejigii Ilaah loo arko, oo adna waad igu faraxday.
But Jacob said, “No, please, if you feel good toward me, accept these gifts from me. You have greeted me very kindly. Seeing your smiling face assures me [that you have forgiven me]. It is like seeing the face of God!
11 Waan ku baryayaaye, guddoon hadiyaddayda laguu keenay; maxaa yeelay, Ilaah baa ii roonaaday, oo haddana wax igu filan baan haystaa. Aad buuna u baryay, kolkaasuu guddoomay.
Please accept these gifts that I have brought to you, because God has acted kindly toward me, and I still have plenty of animals!” Jacob kept on urging him to accept the animals, and finally he accepted them.
12 Oo wuxuu yidhi, Sodcaalkeenna aan iska sii soconno, oo ina keena, oo anna waan kaa hor marayaa.
Then Esau said, “Let’s continue traveling together, and I will show the road to you.”
13 Markaasuu ku yidhi isagii, Sayidkaygiiyow, waad og tahay in carruurtu ay tabar daranyihiin, adhiga iyo lo'dana waa la nuugaa; oo haddii maalin keliya aad loo sii kaxeeyo, de adhigu waa wada dhimanayaa.
Jacob [had no intention to go with Esau], but he said, “You know, sir, that the children are weak, and that I must take care of the female sheep and cows that are (sucking their mother’s milk/nursing their young). If I force them to walk fast for a long distance in just one day, the animals will all die.
14 Sayidkaygiiyow, waan ku baryayaaye, iga hor mar anigoo addoonkaaga ah, oo anna aayar baan soo kaxayn, anoo fiirinaya tallaabada xoolaha i hor jooga, iyo tallaabada carruurta, ilaa aan Seciir kuugu imaado, sayidkaygiiyow.
You go ahead of me. I will lead the animals slowly, but I will walk as fast as the children and animals can walk. I will catch up with you in Seir, [in the land where the descendants of Edom live].”
15 Markaasaa Ceesaw ku yidhi, Haddaba aan dadka ila jira qaar kaaga tago. Isna wuxuu yidhi, Maxaa looga baahan yahay? Raalli iga ahow, sayidkaygiiyow.
Esau said, “Then allow me to leave with you some of the men who came with me, [to protect you].” But Jacob replied, “(Why do that?/There is no need to do that!) [RHQ] The only thing that I want is for you to act friendly toward me.”
16 Oo maalintaasaa Ceesaw ku noqday jidkiisii ilaa Seciir.
So on that day Esau left to return to Seir.
17 Yacquubna wuxuu u sodcaalay Sukod, wuxuuna ka dhistay guri, xoolihiisiina wuxuu u sameeyey xerooyin; sidaas daraaddeed meeshaas magaceeda waxaa la yidhaahdaa Sukod.
But [instead of going to Seir], Jacob and his family went to [a place called] Succoth. There he built a house for himself and his family, and built shelters for his livestock. That is the reason they named the place Succoth, [which means ‘shelters’].
18 Yacquubna nabad buu ku yimid magaaladii Shekem, oo ku taal dalka Kancaan, markuu ka yimid Fadan Araam; oo wuxuu degay magaalada horteeda.
[Some time later, ] Jacob and his family left Paddan-Aram [in Mesopotamia], and they traveled safely to the Canaan region. There they set up their tents in a field near Shechem city.
19 Jagadii uu teendhadiisii ka dhistayna wuxuu ka iibsaday reer Xamoor oo ahaa Shekem aabbihiis, oo wuxuu siistay boqol xabbadood oo lacag ah.
One of the leaders of the people in that area was named Hamor. Hamor had several sons. Jacob paid the sons of Hamor 100 pieces of silver for the piece of ground on which they set up their tents.
20 Halkaasna wuxuu ka taagay meel allabari, wuxuuna u bixiyey El-elohe-Israa'iil.
He built a stone altar there, and named it El-Elohe Israel, [which means ‘God, the God of Israel].’
