Genesis 33 (JUM)

1Aŋ Yaagüüp däämjin aŋ Ïïcü yooṭṭe äätä ke ook 400. Aŋ ike merkä kiibgene gïtï Leya ke Rahiil ke kiinkä määngen yaaka kä yewwe ye.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.

2Aŋ ike kiinkä määngen ḍoocce ke merkälen yeeken ñomuk, aŋ Leya ke merkälen yeeke ŋäñe ti, aŋ Rahiil ke Yuucip ken a düüñïn meken muure.He put the maidservants and their children in front, Leah and her children next, and Rachel and Joseph at the rear.

3Aŋ ike kä ḍoŋe ïïjjïn attä ñomgen ti, aŋ ike ḍüŋjïn ïñï aŋ ñome düücce ïñï ŋommañ jï ääŋke kä ŋaṭükel ke ḍääge ti määden ti kä cokal.But Jacob himself went on ahead and bowed to the ground seven times as he approached his brother.

4Aŋ Ïïcü yïŋŋä pärjin ke määden aŋ yoken käägi aŋ ŋïïbbïn kä ḍuuggen, aŋ muckene yok, aŋ weggin muuṭuk.Esau, however, ran to him and embraced him, threw his arms around his neck, and kissed him. And they both wept.

5Aŋ wääna Ïïcü yuṭṭee kä määngä ke merkälen ye, ike tääccin ogo, “A ŋaannä ika ke ïkï yaakka?” Aŋ luugi Yaagüüp ogo, “A merkä yeeki yaaka iñi Jooŋ kiingon yüünü kä ŋerrä ye.”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.”

6Aŋ kiinkä määngen wüükïn ti ke merkä yeeken aŋ ḍüŋjïn ïñï.Then the maidservants and their children approached and bowed down.

7Aŋ Leya cäänna daa wüükïn ti ke merkä yeeke aŋ ḍüŋjïn ïñï. Aŋ düüñïn meken Yuucip ke Rahiil wüükïn ti aŋ ḍüŋjïn ïñï.Leah and her children also approached and bowed down, and then Joseph and Rachel approached and bowed down.

8Aŋ Ïïcü jaajjin ogo, “Yaakka muure nüütï ŋaaka ḍigärgä yaaka pärjonon kä yaakka?” Aŋ luugi Yaagüüp ogo, “Ogo ika käññä ŋerrä mügdo yeeni ti.”“What do you mean by sending this whole company to meet me?” asked Esau. “To find favor in your sight, my lord,” Jacob answered.

9Aŋ Ïïcü jaajjin ogo, “Ika cääygana kä ḍiräk määdo, yaaka bilti yaakka tïïcïï kä ḍoŋü.”“I already have plenty, my brother,” Esau replied. “Keep what belongs to you.”

10Aŋ Yaagüüp jaajjin ogo, “Ba'ay, naana ika käññä ŋerrä ïkï ti ye, i iñdin yeeni gïmgä. Waŋgü yaaka yoorru ye beeljin bata gin'a ika yuṭṭu Jooŋ ye, kä yaana gïmganaa kä, kä ŋerrä ye.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.

11Kura iñdin yeeni gïmgä yaana äbi me ïkï ti yaanja, Jooŋ ŋerräŋer ke ika aŋ ika iñña wakkä kä ḍiräk.” Aŋ wina Ïïcü ïïrï Yaagüüp ke gïmme.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.

12Aŋ Ïïcü jaajjin ogo, “Juwe atïn, aŋ ika bi ïïjjä atä ñomü ti.”Then Esau said, “Let us be on our way, and I will go ahead of you.”

13Aŋ Yaagüüp ike kiini ogo, “Mügdo yeeni ŋäjjä merkä lïjgaŋ aŋ ḍiik ke däk yaaka nïïtï ye ṭulgen lïjaŋ. Naana äddi me kä yaac äŋ jïñe kä keelok ye, i ḍigärgä muure bi tüwok.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.

14Mügdo yeeni kura ïïjjä kiingon yüünü ñome ti, aŋ ikoon bi bääton kä ḍeeḍaŋ, waan yaana a yïïkon ḍigärgä ti ke merkälen ti ye, ke miikenii Cïïr.”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.”

15Aŋ Ïïcü jaajjin ogo, “Dalä ook yakkalaŋ mäñgenii kä ïñï yaaka ke ika ye.” Aŋ Yaagüüp luukcin ogo, “Ina? Ika ñuynu yeeni muure ogo ika käñjo ŋerrä mügdo yeeni ti.”“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.”

16Aŋ nïïnnä yaanja ti Ïïcü ḍukcin attä Cïïr.So that day Esau started on his way back to Seir,

17Aŋ Yaagüüp baŋŋä Caküüt, aŋ kuṭṭu än, aŋ ḍigärgä yeeke näŋgene däŋkä. Ina ken nänṭä yaanna batte daa me ogo Caküüt yaanna.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.

18Aŋ Yaagüüp wääna äätee kä Padaan Araam ye, ḍäägin ti kä ŋer baan mooye yen mä Cakïïm ti ŋommañ yen mä Kanaan ti, aŋ keeññi yeeke ṭeljene ïñï baan mooye ñome ti.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.

19Aŋ kiññä ŋommañ yaana kurcenee kä keeñ yeene ye, minneni Hamuur Cakïïm wäyen ti tiilgä gälkä waŋgen 100.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.

20Aŋ näŋŋä tambal wïca aŋ äkkene ogo Jooŋ yen mä Icärayiil ogo Jooŋ.There he set up an altar and called it El-Elohe-Israel.
