Mwanzo 33
1 Yakobo akainua macho akamwona Esau akija na watu wake 400, kwa hiyo akawagawanya watoto kati ya Lea, Raheli na wale watumishi wake wawili wa kike.
Iacob lyfte vp his eyes and sawe hys brother Esau come and with him. iiij. hundred men. And he deuyded the childern vnto Lea and vnto Rahel and vnto ye ij. maydens.
2 Akawaweka wale watumishi wa kike na watoto wao mbele, Lea na watoto wake wakafuata, Raheli na Yosefu wakaja nyuma.
And he put the maydens ad their childern formest ad Lea and hir childern after and Rahel ad Ioseph hindermost.
3 Yeye mwenyewe akatangulia mbele na kusujudu mara saba alipomkaribia ndugu yake.
And he went before them and fell on the grownde, vij. tymes vntill he came vnto his brother.
4 Lakini Esau akamkimbilia Yakobo kumlaki na kumkumbatia, akamwangukia shingoni na kumbusu. Nao wakalia.
Esau ranne agaynst him and enbraced hym and fell on his necke and kyssed him and they wepte.
5 Esau akainua macho akawaona wale wanawake na watoto. Akauliza, “Hawa uliofuatana nao ni nani?” Yakobo akamjibu, “Ni watoto ambao Mungu amempa mtumishi wako kwa neema.”
And he lifte vp his eyes and sawe the wyves and their childern and sayde: what are these which thou there hast? And he sayde: they are the childern which God hath geuen thy seruaunte.
6 Kisha wale watumishi wa kike na watoto wao wakakaribia na kusujudu.
Than came the maydens forth ad dyd their obaysaunce.
7 Kisha Lea na watoto wake wakaja na kusujudu. Mwisho wa wote wakaja Yosefu na Raheli, nao pia wakasujudu.
Lea also and hir childern came and dyd their obaysaunce. And last of all came Ioseph and Rahel and dyd their obaysaunce.
8 Esau akauliza, “Una maana gani kuhusu makundi hayo yote niliyokutana nayo?” Akasema, “Ni ili kupata kibali machoni pako, bwana wangu.”
And he sayde: what meanyst thou with all ye drooues which I mett. And he answered: to fynde grace in the syghte of my lorde.
9 Lakini Esau akamwambia, “Ndugu yangu, tayari nina wingi wa mali. Ulivyo navyo viwe vyako mwenyewe.”
And Esau sayde: I haue ynough my brother kepe that thou hast vnto thy silf.
10 Yakobo akasema, “La hasha! Tafadhali, kama nimepata kibali machoni pako, upokee zawadi hii kutoka kwangu. Kwa maana kuuona uso wako, ni kama kuuona uso wa Mungu, kwa kuwa umenipokea kwa takabali kubwa.
Iacob answered: oh nay but yf I haue founde grace in thy syghte receaue my preaset of my hade: for I haue sene thy face as though I had sene ye face of God: wherfore receaue me to grace
11 Tafadhali ukubali zawadi iliyoletwa kwako, kwa kuwa Mungu amenineemesha na ninavyo vyote ninavyohitaji.” Kwa sababu Yakobo alisisitiza, Esau akapokea.
and take my blessynge that I haue brought the for God hath geuen it me frely. And I haue ynough of all thynges. And so he compelled him to take it.
12 Ndipo Esau akasema, “Na tuendelee na safari, nitakuwa pamoja nawe.”
And he sayde: let us take oure iourney and goo and I will goo in thy copany.
13 Lakini Yakobo akamwambia, “Bwana wangu unajua kwamba watoto ni wachanga na kwamba ni lazima nitunze hawa kondoo wake na ngʼombe wanaonyonyesha. Wakipelekwa kwa haraka hata kama ni kwa siku moja tu, wanyama wote watakufa.
And he sayde vnto him: my lorde knoweth that I haue tendre childern ewes and kyne with yonge vnder myne hande which yf men shulde ouerdryue but euen one daye the hole flocke wolde dye.
14 Hivyo bwana wangu umtangulie mtumishi wako, wakati mimi nikija polepole kwa mwendo wa makundi yaliyo mbele yangu na mwendo wa watoto, mpaka nifike kwa bwana wangu huko Seiri.”
Let my lorde therfore goo before his servaunte and I will dryue fayre and softly accordynge as the catell that goth before me and the childern be able to endure: vntill I come to mi lorde vnto Seir.
15 Esau akamwambia, “Basi na niwaache baadhi ya watu wangu pamoja nawe.” Yakobo akauliza, “Lakini kwa nini ufanye hivyo, niache tu nipate kibali machoni pa bwana wangu.”
And Esau sayde: let me yet leaue some of my folke with the. And he sayde: what neadeth it? let me fynde grace in the syghte of my lorde
16 Hivyo siku hiyo Esau akashika njia akarudi Seiri.
So Esau went his waye agayne yt same daye vnto Seir.
17 Pamoja na hayo, Yakobo akaenda Sukothi, mahali alipojijengea makazi kwa ajili yake na mabanda kwa ajili ya mifugo yake. Hii ndiyo sababu sehemu ile inaitwa Sukothi.
And Iacob toke his iourney toward Sucoth and bylt him an house and made boothes for his catell: wherof the name of the place is called Sucoth.
18 Baada ya Yakobo kutoka Padan-Aramu, alifika salama katika mji wa Shekemu huko Kanaani na kuweka kambi yake karibu na mji.
And Iacob went to Salem to ye cytie of Sichem in the lande of Canaa after that he was come from Mesopotamia and pitched before the cyte
19 Akanunua kiwanja kutoka kwa wana wa Hamori, baba wa Shekemu, kwa bei ya vipande mia vya fedha, ambapo alipiga hema lake.
and bought a parcell of ground where he pitched his tent of the childern of Hemor Sichems father for an hundred lambes.
20 Pale akajenga madhabahu na kupaita El-Elohe-Israeli.
And he made there an aulter and there called vpon the myghtie God of Israell.
