Genesis 33 (GMVE)

1ያቆቤይ ꬎቁ ጊ ጼሊዲ ኤሳዌይ 400 ኣስ ባናራ ኤኪ ዪዛይሳ ቤኢዴስ፤ ሄሳ ጊሻስ ናይታ ሊያስ፥ ኤራሄሊሲኔ ናምኡ ኣይሌታስ ሻኪ ሻኪ ኢሚዴስ።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.

2ኣሽካራታኔ ኢስታ ናይታ ሲንꬃን ሊያኔ ኢዚ ናይታ ኢስታፌ ጉዬን ኤራሄሎኔ ዮሴፌ ዉርሴꬃን ዎꬂዴስ።He put the maidservants and their children in front, Leah and her children next, and Rachel and Joseph at the rear.

3ጊዶ ኣቲን ኢዚ ባ ባጋራ ኡባፌ ሲንꬄ ኣꬊዲ ባ ኢሻኮ ማቲዳ ዎዴ ላፑንቶ ዚጊዴስ።But Jacob himself went on ahead and bowed to the ground seven times as he approached his brother.

4ኤሳዌይ ጊዲኮ ኢዛራ ጋጋናስ ዎጺዲ ኢዛ ቆꬌ ቦላ ጻጼቲዲ ዬሪዴስ፤ ናምኣቲካ ዬኪዳ።Esau, however, ran to him and embraced him, threw his arms around his neck, and kissed him. And they both wept.

5ሄሳፌ ጉዬ ኤሳዌይ ꬎቁ ጊ ጼሊዲ ማጫሳታኔ ናይታ ቤኢዲ፥ «ሃ ኔናራ ዲዛይቲ ኦናንቴ?» ጊ ኦይቺዴስ። ያቆቤይ ኢዛስ፥ «ሃይቲ ጾሲ ኔ ኣይሌስ ታስ ባ ኪያቴꬃን ኢሚዳ ናይታ» ጊዴስ።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.”

6ሄሳፌ ጉዬ ኣይሌቲ ባ ናይታራ ሺቂዲ ኢዛ ሲንꬃን ዚጊዳ።Then the maidservants and their children approached and bowed down.

7ካሊዲ ሊያይኔ ኢዚ ናይቲ ዪዲ ዚጊዳ፤ ዉርሴꬃን ዮሴፌይኔ ኤራሄላ ዪዲ ዚጊዳ።Leah and her children also approached and bowed down, and then Joseph and Rachel approached and bowed down.

8ኤሳዌይ፥ «ሲንꬃን ታናራ ጋጊዳ ሜሄይ ዉሪ ኣዛ ሜሄ?» ጊ ኦይቺዴስ። ኢዚካ፥ «ታ ጎዶ! ሃይሲ ኔ ታና ኡፋይሳን ሞካ ኤካናሳ» ጊዴስ።“What do you mean by sending this whole company to meet me?” asked Esau. “To find favor in your sight, my lord,” Jacob answered.

9ኤሳዌይ፥ «ታ ኢሾ! ታስ ዳሮ ሃሮይ ዴስ፤ ኔ ሚሺ ኔስ ጊዶ» ጊዴስ።“I already have plenty, my brother,” Esau replied. “Keep what belongs to you.”

10ያቆቤይ፥ «ኣካይ፥ ሃኢ ኔ ታና ሞካ ኤካና ጊዲኮ ታ ኔስ ኢሚዛይሳ ኤካ፤ ኔ ታና ሲቆን ሞካ ኤኪሺን ታ ቤኢዳይሳ ጾሳ ኣይፌሶ ቤኢዳ ማላ ቆዳይስ።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.

11ጾሲ ባ ኪያቴꬃን ኡባ ኩንꬂ ታስ ኢሚዳ ጊሻስ ኮሺዛዚ ኡባይ ታስ ዴስ፤ ታ ኔስ ኢሚዛይሳ ኤካርኪ» ጊዲ ያቆቤይ ሚንꬂ ሾቢዳ ጊሻስ ኤሳዌይ ኢዚ ጊዳይሳ ኤኪዴስ።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.

12ሄሳፌ ጉዬ ኤሳዌይ፥ «ዴንዳ ኣኔ ቦስ፤ ታኒካ ኢንቴናራ ኢሲፌ ባና» ጊዴስ።Then Esau said, “Let us be on our way, and I will go ahead of you.”

13ጊዶ ኣቲን ያቆቤይ ኢዛ፥ «ታ ጎዶ! ኔ ቤኢዛ ማላ ናይቲ ሹጎ ጊዲዳይሳ ኔ ኤራሳ፤ ቃሴ ታኒ ጋሎ ማራታኔ ጉꬃ ላቃታ ꬋንꬂዛ ዶርሳታኔ ሚዛታ ናጋና ኮሼስ፤ ኢስቲ ኤሌ ኤሌ ላጊኮ ሜሄቲ ዉሪ ኢሲ ጋላስ ሃይቂ ዉራና።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.

14ሄሳ ጊሻስ ታ ጎዶ ኔኒ ታፔ ሲንꬃታዳ ባ፤ ታ ሲንꬃን ዲዛ ሜሄይኔ ናይቲ ሄሜታና ዳንዳይዛ ኬና ሄሜቲዲ ኔናራ ሴይሬን ጋይታና» ጊዴስ።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.”

15ኤሳዌይ ኢዛ፥ «ሂስቲኮ ታኒ ታ ኣሳፔ ጉꬃታ ኔስ ኣሻይስ» ጊዴስ። ጊዶ ኣቲን ያቆቤይ ኢዛ፥ «ሄሲ ኣይሴ? ታኒ ታ ጎዳ ሲንꬃን ቦንቼቲዳይሲ ታስ ጊዳና» ጊዴስ።“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.”

16ሄሳ ጊሻስ ኤሳዌይ ሄ ጋላስ ሴይሬ ሲሚ ቢዴስ።So that day Esau started on his way back to Seir,

17ጊዶ ኣቲን ያቆቤይ ሱኮቴ ቢዴስ፤ ሄን ባስ ኬꬅ ኬጺዴስ፤ ባ ሜሄታስካ ኣቂዛሶ ጊግሲዴስ፤ ሄሳ ጊሻስ ሄ ሶሆዛ ሱኮቴ ጊ ሱንꬂዴስ።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.

18ያቆቤይ ሜስጴጾሚያፔ ሲሚዳ ዎዴ ካናኔ ቢታን ዲዛ ሴኬሜ ጊዛ ካታማ ሳሮን ጋኪዴስ፤ ካታማይስ ሲንꬃ ባጋራ ዲዛ ዴምባን ዱንካኒ ኡቲዴስ።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.

19ባ ዱንካኔዛ ቶሊዳ ጋዴዛ ሴኬሜ ኣዋ ኤሞሬ ናይታፔ 100 ሳቂሌ ቢራን ሻሚዴስ።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.

20ሄን ያርሾሶሆ ኬጺዲ ኢዛ፥ «ጾሲ ኢስራኤሌ ጾሳ» ጊ ሱንꬂዴስ።There he set up an altar and called it El-Elohe-Israel.
