Genesis 33
1 [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.
Faiꞌ naa, Yakob nita Esau nema no nononggoꞌ atahori natun haa. Ma ana babanggi ana nara fee se esa-esaꞌ risiꞌ ina nara.
2 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.
Ana fee sao tias nara ro ana nara lao risiꞌ mataꞌ. Basa de, Lea no ana nara, dei fo Rahel no anan Yusuf raꞌabui oe-oeꞌ.
3 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.
Te Yakob lao naꞌahuluꞌ basa se. Ara rae deka ro aꞌa na ma, ana sendeꞌ lululangga na ma beꞌutee losa rae a, lao hitu.
4 But Esau ran to Jacob. He hugged him, put his arms around his neck, and kissed him on the cheek. And they both cried.
Esau nita odꞌi na ma, ana nelaꞌ neu nandaa no e. Ana holu ma idꞌu e, ma ruꞌa se nggae.
5 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.”
Esau nita inaꞌ naa ra ro ana nara, ma natane nae, “Basa atahori ia ra, seka?” Yakob nataa nae, “Naa ra, atahori fo Lamatualain fee au, aꞌa ate na.”
6 Then the female slaves and their children came near and bowed in front of Esau.
Basa naa ma, sao tias nara ro ana nara, rema raloe ao nara neu Esau.
7 Then Leah and her children came and bowed down. Finally Joseph and Rachel came near and bowed down.
Basa de, Lea no ana nara, rema raloe ao nara neu Esau. Mana maꞌabuiꞌ a, Yusuf no ina na Rahel rema raloe ao nara neu Esau.
8 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.”
Boe ma Esau natane nae, “Banda nononggoꞌ fo ho haituaꞌ ra, masud na saa?” Yakob nataa nae, “Taꞌo ia, aꞌa! Au fee basa naa ra neu aꞌa, naa fo aꞌa simbo au no rala teme aoꞌ.”
9 But Esau replied, “My [younger] brother, I have enough animals! Keep for yourself the animals that you have!”
Te Esau nataa nae, “Odꞌiꞌ! Au suꞌi ngga o naeꞌ boe. De afiꞌ fee au saaꞌ boe.”
10 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!
Ma Yakob nataa nae, “Aꞌa afiꞌ taꞌo naa! Aꞌa musi simbo fo dadꞌi bukti aꞌa simbo au no lima ruaꞌ. Te, au ita aꞌa humek faꞌ ra ma, onaꞌ au ita Lamatualain humek.
11 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.
De au hule no hadat fo simbo au fefee ngga ia. Lamatualain malole na seli neu au, naa de Ana fee basa saa fo au parluꞌ ra.” Yakob kokoe nakandooꞌ a, de nau nda nau sa o, Esau simbo nala se.
12 Then Esau said, “Let’s continue traveling together, and I will show the road to you.”
Basa naa ma, Esau olaꞌ nae, “Mete ma taꞌo naa, naa, miote fo ata lao leo! Dei fo au o nggi.”
13 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.
Te Yakob nataa nae, “Afiꞌ, aꞌa! Aꞌa mete neuꞌ ena. Anaꞌ ra feꞌe anadikiꞌ ri, de nda feꞌe laoꞌ beꞌi sa. Ma banda mana bꞌonggi feuꞌ ra o, naeꞌ. Mete ma hita taꞌasusuuꞌ se laoꞌ lai-lai, sia fai esa rala, naa, banda ra bisa mate basa se.
14 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].”
De malole lenaꞌ aꞌa se lao miꞌihuluꞌ. Dei fo basa hai laoꞌ koe-koe miꞌibuit. Losa naa fo, au eti seꞌu aꞌa sia Seir.”
15 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.”
Boe ma, Esau olaꞌ fai nae, “Mete ma taꞌo naa, naa, au lao hela atahori nggara ruma ro nggo fo ratudꞌu hei dalaꞌ.” Te Yakob nae, “Afiꞌ tao ia-naa, aꞌa! Sadꞌi au bubꞌuluꞌ aꞌa simbo au ena, naa, au umuhoꞌo.”
16 So on that day Esau left to return to Seir.
Esau rena nala ma, ana lao hela se, de baliꞌ Seir neu.
17 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’].
Te Yakob lao Sukot neu. Sia naa, ana tao ume, ma lalaet fee banda nara. Naa de, ara babꞌae mamanaꞌ naa Sukot (sosoan ‘ume neꞌetataaꞌ’).
18 [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.
Neu mateꞌe na ma, Yakob se losa no masodꞌaꞌ mia Padan Aram risiꞌ kambo Sikem sia nusa Kanaꞌan. Boe ma ara raririi lalaat, de leo deka kamboꞌ naa.
19 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.
Rae fo Yakob naririi lalaat naa, ana hasa naꞌetuꞌ mia Hemor, Sikem aman. Ana bae no doi fulaꞌ natun esa.
20 He built a stone altar there, and named it El-Elohe Israel, [which means ‘God, the God of Israel].’
Sia naa, ana lutu mbatu mei tutunu-hohotuꞌ. Ana babꞌae mamanaꞌ naa El-Elohe-Israꞌel. Sosoa na ‘Lamatualain naa, Israꞌel Lamatualain na’.
