Genesis 33 (BEO)

1Ya:igobe da Iso amola dunu 400 agoane logoga ahoanebe ba:i. Amaiba:le, e da ea mano huluane afafane, Lia, La:isele amola ea gidisedagi uda aduna, amo ouligima:ne ilima i.Now Jacob looked up and saw Esau coming toward him with four hundred men. So he divided the children among Leah, Rachel, and the two maidservants.

2E da gidisedagi uda amola ela mano bisimusa: asunasili, Lia amola ea mano fa:no, amola fa:nodafa La:isele amola Yousefe amola asunasi.He put the maidservants and their children in front, Leah and her children next, and Rachel and Joseph at the rear.

3Ya:igobe da bisili, ea ola gadenene doaga:loba, fesuale agoane osoboga begudui.But Jacob himself went on ahead and bowed to the ground seven times as he approached his brother.

4Be Iso da hehenane, Ya:igobe ouga:ne nonogoi. Ela da bagadewane dinanu.Esau, however, ran to him and embraced him, threw his arms around his neck, and kissed him. And they both wept.

5Iso da ba:le ga:le, uda amola mano ba:beba:le, amane sia:i, “Amo dima sigi maha da nowala:?” Ya:igobe da bu adole i “Ada! Amo da mano, Gode da nama hahawaneba:le nama i.”When Esau looked up and saw the women and children, he asked, “Who are these with you?” Jacob answered, “These are the children God has graciously given your servant.”

6Amalalu, gidisedagi uda aduna amola ela mano da misini begudui.Then the maidservants and their children approached and bowed down.

7Amalalu Lia amola ea mano misini amola fa:no Yousefe amola La:isele da misini, huluane da begudui.Leah and her children also approached and bowed down, and then Joseph and Rachel approached and bowed down.

8Iso da amane adole ba:i, “Be amo gilisisu eno da nama misi. Amo da adila:?” Ya:igobe da bu adole i, “Amo da di hahawane ba:ma:ne, na da asunasi.”“What do you mean by sending this whole company to meet me?” asked Esau. “To find favor in your sight, my lord,” Jacob answered.

9Be Iso da amane sia:i, “Be na da defele gagui gala. Dia liligi di fawane gaguma!”“I already have plenty, my brother,” Esau replied. “Keep what belongs to you.”

10Be Ya:igobe da amane sia:i, “Di da na hou hahawane ba:sea, na udigili hahawane iasu lalegaguma. Amo na da dima ha:giwane edegesa. Bai di da na hahawane ba:beba:le, dia odagi da nama Gode Ea odagi agoane ba:sa.But Jacob insisted, “No, please! If I have found favor in your sight, then receive this gift from my hand. For indeed, I have seen your face, and it is like seeing the face of God, since you have received me favorably.

11Gode da nama asigiba:le, nama bagade i dagoi. Na da sadiba:le, amo hahawane udigili iasu di lalegaguma.” Ya:igobe da ha:giwane sia:beba:le, Iso da ea iasu lai.Please accept my gift that was brought to you, because God has been gracious to me and I have all I need.” So Jacob pressed him until he accepted.

12Amalalu, Iso da amane sia:i, “Defea! Hadiga! Ani liligi momagele, ahoa:di! Na da dili bisili masunu.”Then Esau said, “Let us be on our way, and I will go ahead of you.”

13Be Ya:igobe da bu adole i, “Di dawa:! Mano ilia da gasa hame galebe amola sibi, eno lai gebo fi amola ilia mano na da dawa:lala. Eso afaiwane ninia amo gasawane sefasisia, ilia huluane bogogia:mu.But Jacob replied, “My lord knows that the children are frail, and I must care for sheep and cattle that are nursing their young. If they are driven hard for even a day, all the animals will die.

14Di bisili masa. Na da gebewane fa:no bobogemu. Na da ilia gasa defele, lai gebo fi amola mano oule asili, Idome diasuga dima bu gilisimu.”Please let my lord go ahead of his servant. I will continue on slowly, at a comfortable pace for the livestock and children, until I come to my lord at Seir.”

15Iso da bu sia:i, “Amasea na da na dunu mogili di ouligima:ne yolesimu.” Be Ya:igobe da bu adole i, “Mae dawa:ma! Na hanai da di da nama asigisa amo fawane hanai!”“Let me leave some of my people with you,” Esau said. But Jacob replied, “Why do that? Let me find favor in the sight of my lord.”

16Amalalu, amo esoga, Iso da Idome sogega doaga:musa: asi.So that day Esau started on his way back to Seir,

17Be Ya:igobe da Sagode sogega asili, diasu gagui. Amola ea lai gebo golama:ne, diasu eno gaguli gagai. Amaiba:le, ilia amo diasuga Sagode dio asuli.but Jacob went on to Succoth, where he built a house for himself and shelters for his livestock; that is why the place was called Succoth.

18Ya:igobe da Mesoubouda:imia sogega buhagiloba, e da hahawane Siegeme moilai bai bagade (Ga:ina:ne soge amo ganodini) amoga doaga:loba, e da sogebi Siegeme moilai bai bagade gadenene amoga ea abula diasu gilisisu gagui galu.After Jacob had come from Paddan-aram, he arrived safely at the city of Shechem in the land of Canaan, and he camped just outside the city.

19E da amo ifabi sogebi bidi lama:ne, Ha:imo (Siegeme eda) amo egaga fi ilima silifa muni fage 100 amoga bidi lai.And the plot of ground where he pitched his tent, he purchased from the sons of Hamor, Shechem’s father, for a hundred pieces of silver.

20Amoga e da oloda hamoi. Amo oloda e da dio asuli amo Ele Elouhe (Isala:ili fi ilia Gode Ea Dio).There he set up an altar and called it El-Elohe-Israel.
