MKW
Yakobi talaka Esawu yina vwanda kwiza na babakala bankama yiya (400). Na yina, yandi pesaka bana ya yandi na maboko ya Leya, na ya Lasele, mpe na maboko ya bisadi ya yandi zole ya bakento.
BSB
BSB:
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.
2
MKW
Yandi tulaka bisadi ya bakento na bana ya bawu na mantwala. Na manima ya bawu, yandi tulaka Leya na bana ya yandi. Na manima ya Leya, yandi tulaka Lasele na Yosefi.
BSB
BSB:
He put the maidservants and their children in front, Leah and her children next, and Rachel and Joseph at the rear.
3
MKW
Kasi yandi mosi, yandi lutaka na mantwala ya bawu nyonso. Yandi kubwaka kizizi na ntoto bambala nsambwadi tii ntangu yandi kumaka pene-pene ya mpangi ya yandi, Esawu.
BSB
BSB:
But Jacob himself went on ahead and bowed to the ground seven times as he approached his brother.
4
MKW
Esawu kwendaka mbangu samu na kubwabana Yakobi. Bawu bumbasanaka, Esawu fibaka Yakobi mpe bawu zole bandaka na kudila.
BSB
BSB:
Esau, however, ran to him and embraced him, threw his arms around his neck, and kissed him. And they both wept.
5
MKW
Ntangu Esawu talaka bakento mpe bana, Yandi yufulaka: «Yayi ni ba nani?» Yakobi vutulaka: «Yayi ni bana yina Nzambi, na bumbote ya yandi, me pesa na kisyelo ya nge.»
BSB
BSB:
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.”
6
MKW
Bisadi ya bakento belamaka na bana ya bawu mpe bawu fukamaka.
BSB
BSB:
Then the maidservants and their children approached and bowed down.
7
MKW
Leya na bana ya yandi mpe belamaka, bawu fukamaka. Na manima, Lasele na Yosefi belamaka, bawu mpe fukamaka.
BSB
BSB:
Leah and her children also approached and bowed down, and then Joseph and Rachel approached and bowed down.
8
MKW
Esawu tubaka: «Yinki nge zola sala na nkonga nyonso yina mu me bwabana?» Yakobi vutulaka: «Yawu kele samu ti, mfumu ya munu kuyamba munu mbote.»
BSB
BSB:
“What do you mean by sending this whole company to meet me?” asked Esau. “To find favor in your sight, my lord,” Jacob answered.
9
MKW
Esawu tubaka dyaka: «Ve mpangi ya munu, vwanda na bima ya nge. Mu kele na bimvwama mingi.»
BSB
BSB:
“I already have plenty, my brother,” Esau replied. “Keep what belongs to you.”
10
MKW
Na yina, Yakobi tubaka: «Mulemvo ya nge, kana nge me yamba munu mbote, ndima mpe dikabu yina mu ke na kupesa nge. Ya tsyelika, mu me tala kizizi ya nge mutindu muntu me tala kizizi ya Nzambi. Mpe nge me yamba munu mbote.
BSB
BSB:
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.
11
MKW
Ndima dikabu yayi mu ke na kupesa nge, samu ti ni Nzambi me pesa munu yawu na bumbote ya yandi. Mpe mu ke na bima nyonso.» Yakobi tatamanaka na kubondila Esawu, mpe Esawu ndimaka.
BSB
BSB:
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.
12
MKW
Esawu tubaka: «Beto telama, beto kwenda. Mu ke kwenda nzila mosi na nge.»
BSB
BSB:
Then Esau said, “Let us be on our way, and I will go ahead of you.”
13
MKW
Yakobi vutulaka: «Mfumu ya munu, nge zaba ti bana ya munu ke na ngolo mingi ve. Mu kele mpe na mameme, bankombo na bangombe yina ke ntete na kupesaka bana mabene. Kana beto kwika bawu na kutambula ata kilumbu mosi ya muvimba, bibulu nyonso ke manisa na kufwa.
BSB
BSB:
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.
14
MKW
Mulemvo ya nge mfumu ya munu, tekila ya nge. Munu kisadi ya nge, mu ke tambula malembe-malembe. Mu ke landa ndyatulu ya nkonga yina ke vwanda na mantwala ya munu, mpe ndyatulu ya bana, tii ntangu yina mu ke kuma na sika ya nge, mfumu ya munu, kuna na Seyile.»
BSB
BSB:
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.”
15
MKW
Esawu tubaka: «Mu ke bikila nge ndambu ya bantu ya munu.» Yakobi vutulaka: «Mfumu ya munu, samu na yinki? Kuyamba yina nge me yamba munu na bumbote me lunga.»
BSB
BSB:
“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.”
16
MKW
Kaka na kilumbu yina, Esawu bakaka nzila mpe yandi vutukaka na Seyile.
BSB
BSB:
So that day Esau started on his way back to Seir,
17
MKW
Kasi Yakobi kwendaka na Sukote. Yandi tungaka yinzo ya yandi na bayinzo ya mileba samu na bibulu ya yandi. Ni yawu yina, ba pesaka kisika yina, nkumbu Sukote.
BSB
BSB:
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.
18
MKW
Yakobi kumaka mbote na mbanza Sekeme, yina kele na yinsi ya Kaana. Yandi vwandaka me katuka na Mezopotami. Kaka na ntangu yina yandi kwizaka kuma, yandi yidikaka yinzo ya yandi ya lele na kisika yina ke talasanaka na mbanza.

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.
19

Yandi sumbaka ntoto yina, kisika yina yandi vwandaka me yidika yinzo ya yandi ya lele. Na yina, yandi pesaka mbongo nkama (100) ya bisengo na sika ya bana ya Amole, tata ya Sekeme.
