Genesis 33
1 Jacob el liye lah Esau el tuku wi mwet angfoko lal, ke ma inge el kitalik tulik natul ah inmasrlol Leah, Rachel, ac mutan kulansap luo kial.
[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 El likiya mutan kulansap kial ac tulik natultal ah meet, na Leah ac tulik natul ah, na fah Rachel ac Joseph oetok.
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 Jacob el fahsryak meet lukelos, ac faksufi nwe infohk uh pacl itkosr ke el fahsryang nu ye mutun tamulel lal.
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 A Esau el kasrusr nu yorol, kaosulma ac ngok mutal. Ac eltal tukeni tung.
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 Ke Esau el ngetla ac liye mutan ac tulik uh, el siyuk, “Su mwet wi kom inge?” Ac Jacob el topuk, “Mwet kacto luk, tulik inge ma God El kulang ac ase nu sin mwet kulansap lom.”
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 Na mutan kulansap kial uh tuku wi tulik natultal, ac faksufi nwe infohk uh.
Then the female slaves and their children came near and bowed in front of Esau.
7 Toko Leah ac tulik natul tuku ac faksufi pac, na Joseph ac Rachel fahsryak oetok ac faksufi.
Then Leah and her children came and bowed down. Finally Joseph and Rachel came near and bowed down.
8 Ac Esau el siyuk, “Ma ya sruhk u se nga fahsru sun ah? Mea kalmac?” Ac Jacob el fahk, “Ma in akfisrasrye nunak lom.”
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 Tusruktu Esau el fahk, “Ma lik, fal ma oasr yuruk uh. Tari, sruokyana ma lom an.”
But Esau replied, “My [younger] brother, I have enough animals! Keep for yourself the animals that you have!”
10 Jacob el fahk, “Mo, fin pwaye lah kom eisyu, nunak munas eis mwe kite luk inge. Nu sik, ke nga liye motom uh, oana ngan liye mutun God, ke kom arulana kulang nu sik uh.
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 Nunak munas, eis mwe kite ma nga us nu yurum inge. God El arulana kulang nu sik ac ase mwe enenu luk nukewa.” Jacob el sikalani na in kwafe nwe ke na Esau el eis.
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 Esau el fahk, “Akola kut in som. Nga ac fahsr meet.”
Then Esau said, “Let’s continue traveling together, and I will show the road to you.”
13 Jacob el topuk ac fahk, “Kom etu lah tulik inge munas, ac nga ac nunku pac ke sheep ac cow wi natu natulos uh. Fin upala pahtokyalos finne len se, u nufon se inge ac misa.
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 Nunak munas, fahsr meet likiyu, ac nga ac fahsrna tukum, wi kuiyen fahsr lun un kosro ac tulik inge, nwe ke nga sun kom in acn Edom.”
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 Esau el fahk, “Fin angan, nga filiya kutu mwet luk inge in wi kom.” Tusruktu Jacob el fahk, “Tari mansis, kulo. Fin wo sum, nimet elya kac.”
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 Ouinge Esau el mukuiyak ke len sac in folok nu Edom.
So on that day Esau left to return to Seir.
17 Ac Jacob el som nu Sukkoth, musaela lohm se sel we, ac orala lac lohm nu sin kosro natul. Pa pwanang pangpang acn sac Sukkoth.
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 Ke Jacob el foloko liki acn Mesopotamia el sun siti Shechem in acn Canaan. Wona ouiyal, ac el tulokunak nien aktuktuk lal in sie acn oan apkuran nu ke siti sac.
[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 El molela ipin acn sac sin fwilin tulik natul Hamor, papa tumal Shechem, ke ipin silver siofok.
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 El etoak loang se we, ac sang inen loang sac “El,” su God lun Israel.
He built a stone altar there, and named it El-Elohe Israel, [which means ‘God, the God of Israel].’
