1Jacob 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.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.

2El likiya mutan kulansap kial ac tulik natultal ah meet, na Leah ac tulik natul ah, na fah Rachel ac Joseph oetok.He put the maidservants and their children in front, Leah and her children next, and Rachel and Joseph at the rear.

3Jacob el fahsryak meet lukelos, ac faksufi nwe infohk uh pacl itkosr ke el fahsryang nu ye mutun tamulel lal.But Jacob himself went on ahead and bowed to the ground seven times as he approached his brother.

4A Esau el kasrusr nu yorol, kaosulma ac ngok mutal. Ac eltal tukeni tung.Esau, however, ran to him and embraced him, threw his arms around his neck, and kissed him. And they both wept.

5Ke 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.”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.”

6Na mutan kulansap kial uh tuku wi tulik natultal, ac faksufi nwe infohk uh.Then the maidservants and their children approached and bowed down.

7Toko Leah ac tulik natul tuku ac faksufi pac, na Joseph ac Rachel fahsryak oetok ac faksufi.Leah and her children also approached and bowed down, and then Joseph and Rachel approached and bowed down.

8Ac Esau el siyuk, “Ma ya sruhk u se nga fahsru sun ah? Mea kalmac?” Ac Jacob el fahk, “Ma in akfisrasrye nunak lom.”“What do you mean by sending this whole company to meet me?” asked Esau. “To find favor in your sight, my lord,” Jacob answered.

9Tusruktu Esau el fahk, “Ma lik, fal ma oasr yuruk uh. Tari, sruokyana ma lom an.”“I already have plenty, my brother,” Esau replied. “Keep what belongs to you.”

10Jacob 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 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.

11Nunak 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 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.

12Esau el fahk, “Akola kut in som. Nga ac fahsr meet.”Then Esau said, “Let us be on our way, and I will go ahead of you.”

13Jacob 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.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.

14Nunak 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.”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.”

15Esau 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.”“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.”

16Ouinge Esau el mukuiyak ke len sac in folok nu Edom.So that day Esau started on his way back to Seir,

17Ac 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 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.

18Ke 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.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.

19El molela ipin acn sac sin fwilin tulik natul Hamor, papa tumal Shechem, ke ipin silver siofok.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.

20El etoak loang se we, ac sang inen loang sac “El,” su God lun Israel.There he set up an altar and called it El-Elohe-Israel.
