Genesis 33 (LGA)

1Ego enga sae sau si Jekopi sa batia si Isoa, korapa lalamegana tavitiria ira ka madegogoto ona tinoni, ko sa pikataria sa na koburu lao tadira Lia, i Resolo beto karu nabulu rereko.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.

2Ego ira na nabulu rereko tavitiria na tudia sa sa vakoleria pa momoe, beto sa tuti si Lia beto ira na tuna, beto ira Resolo i Josepa pa liligu.He put the maidservants and their children in front, Leah and her children next, and Rachel and Joseph at the rear.

3Beto mekana sa lao pa moedi ira ko sa titi opo gore pa peso ka vitu totoso totonai sa lao tatai na tugana.But Jacob himself went on ahead and bowed to the ground seven times as he approached his brother.

4Ba i Isoa sa abutu ko sa lao gosoria si Jekopi, sa borua beto sa titia na ruana ko sa aoa. Beto ko qai vailulukana.Esau, however, ran to him and embraced him, threw his arms around his neck, and kissed him. And they both wept.

5Beto poni sa doro lao si Isoa, sa batiria sira na rereko beto na koburu ko sa nanasa, <<Ira sei sa qai tutigo ao aipira?>> saunia. Poni pira sau si Jekopi, <<Ira sa na koburu na Tamasa sa vatadogoronia nona roroqu tana mua nabulu sa aipira,>> saunia.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.”

6Beto sa qai lame tata sira na nabulu rereko tavitiria na dia koburu ko qai titi opo gore pa peso.Then the maidservants and their children approached and bowed down.

7Beto sa tuti lame si Lia beto ira na tuna ko qai titi opo gore pa peso. Beto liligu qai lame sira Josepa i Resolo ko qai titi opo gore tugu vei pa peso.Leah and her children also approached and bowed down, and then Joseph and Rachel approached and bowed down.

8Beto sa nanasa tu si Isoa, <<Na sa laodi sa doru gogodo papausu qa gosororia pori?>> sau. Sa pira sau sisa, Dai! <<Ai vei ko mu qeranisiu ao qua bangara qau sa,>> saunia.“What do you mean by sending this whole company to meet me?” asked Esau. “To find favor in your sight, my lord,” Jacob answered.

9Poni sa pira saunia i Isoa sisa, <<Tasiqu, ara sa tei soku tu sa na qua sakasava. Mu kopuniria ko mi mua sira vei qu isongoria,>> saunia.“I already have plenty, my brother,” Esau replied. “Keep what belongs to you.”

10Ba pira saunia i Jekopi sisa, <<Muna qeranisiu ara ao sa, mu tekuria pa limaqu ara sira na vaivana pira. Ura tonai qa batia na isumatamu ao sa, sa vei puputa qa batia na isumatana na Tamasa, kopira vei qu vakamu vatalesiu ao.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.

11Ko bu tekua tu sa na mana taqu sa tapogoso lame tamu, ura na Tamasa sa roroqusiu ko qa isongoria gu sa doru kai sa,>> sau. Ko sa paranga jujukia i Jekopi sisa ko sa tekua i Isoa sa na vaivana.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.

12Beto pira sau si Isoa, Ego! <<Vatana ko aria ta mekarai riuoda. Ara kode mana vavaburogou,>> saunia.Then Esau said, “Let us be on our way, and I will go ahead of you.”

13Ba pira saunia i Jekopi sisa, <<Ao na qua bangara qu gigilaimua sa na koburu qai oqoqanai munyala beto ko mana dodogororia tugu vei na tuni sipi beto na tuni bulumakau qai korapa susu. Ko vei mai tatoni sasasuruniria pa kai rane poni kode doru na papausu mai mate beto.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.

14Ko muke vei ao na qua bangara, mu riu momoemua goto ara mana mavo tugu tututiqua tutiria tugu na rijodi na gogodo papausu pa momoe pira beto na rijodi na koburu, tinganai mana kamugo pa Seia,>> saunia.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.”

15Poni pira sau mutugu si Isoa, <<Ego mina vei sa, ma loa vanigo ropi kaki tinoni taqu ko mai vavaburogo,>> saunia. Sa nanasa tu si Jekopi, <<Ai sa vei ko mu roiti vei mutu inara qugu?>> <<Sa pada gu sa qu tavaraguanisiu ara ao na qua bangara qau,>> saunia.“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.”

16Ego ko na rane tugu isa sa gabala ko sa riuona pa Seia si Isoa.So that day Esau started on his way back to Seir,

17Goto i Jekopi sa lao pa Sukoti ko ketakoi sa vaturua kai ona ruma beto ira na papausu sa roiti vaniria na aqaqo susuverena. Ko sa vei sa, sa tavakukunia Sukoti sa na ia isa.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.

18Pa liguna sa koko pa Padani Arami si Jekopi, sa kamu vatale pa gugusu lavata pa Sekemi pa Kenani sisa ko sa vaturua nona ia susuverena pa moena na gugusu lavata.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.

19Ego ko sa vai tekunia isa kai gogoto poata siliva pa limadi ira na tuna i Hamo na tamana i Sekemi sa kai kobu peso ko ketakoi sa vaturua isa sa nona aqaqo.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.

20Ko ketakoi sa vaturua isa sa kai ia vavakukuvuna sa vakukunia El Elohe Izireli.There he set up an altar and called it El-Elohe-Israel.
