Genesis 33 (MSY2020)

1Dughiar kamɨn Jekop kogha Ison gari, a uan gumazir 400pla ko izi. Ezɨ a uan boriba bar me mɨgɨa ghaze, ia mangɨ uan amebaba ko tuifigh.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.

2Egha a faragh mangasa amuir dozimning uan boriba ko me mɨkeme. Eghtɨ Lea uan boriba ko men gɨrara mangam. Ezɨ a Resel ko Josep mɨkemezɨ aning men gɨn ti.He put the maidservants and their children in front, Leah and her children next, and Rachel and Joseph at the rear.

3Ezɨ Jekop uabɨ men faraghavɨra ikia zui. Egha Ison boroghɨn mangasava amua 7plan dughiabar tevimning apɨra guam nguazim girava egha dɨkava an boroghɨn ghu.But Jacob himself went on ahead and bowed to the ground seven times as he approached his brother.

4Ezɨ Iso dɨkavigha ivegha iza uan dozimɨn suiragha a muiaghɨrɨgha an tori. Egha aning uagharama azi.Esau, however, ran to him and embraced him, threw his arms around his neck, and kissed him. And they both wept.

5Egha Iso amiziba ko boribar gara egha Jekopɨn azara, “Kar te nɨ ko iti?” Ezɨ Jekop an akam ikaragha ghaze, “Kɨ nɨn ingangarir gumazim. Kar God deragha na gamigha egha borir kaba na ganɨngi.”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.”

6Ezɨ an amuir dozimning uan boriba ko iza Ison damazimɨn uan teviba apɨrigha avigha iraghu.Then the maidservants and their children approached and bowed down.

7Ezɨ Lea uan boriba ko uaghan iza teviba apɨrigha avigha iraghu. Ezɨ Josep Resel ko abuan iza teviba apɨrigha avigha iraghu.Leah and her children also approached and bowed down, and then Joseph and Rachel approached and bowed down.

8Ezɨ Iso ghaze, “Gumazir sipsipba ko asɨzir maba sara inigha faragha zuiba kɨ me bato. Ezɨ kar, nɨ bizir mɨngarir tizim gata da amada?” Ezɨ Jekop a ikaragha ghaze, “O gumazir ekiam, mar nɨ bizir mabar gan na gifueghasa, kɨ da amada.”“What do you mean by sending this whole company to meet me?” asked Esau. “To find favor in your sight, my lord,” Jacob answered.

9Ezɨ Iso ghaze, “Nan dozim, kɨ biziba bar avɨraseme. Nɨ uan biziba ua da inigh.”“I already have plenty, my brother,” Esau replied. “Keep what belongs to you.”

10Ezɨ Jekop ghaze, “Puvatɨ, nɨ uan navir averiamɨn na gifuegh egh nan bizibar suiragh. Nɨ na gifonge, ezɨ kamaghɨn, kɨ nɨn guamɨn gara mati kɨ Godɨn guamɨn gari.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.

11Kɨ kamaghɨn ifonge, bizir aghuir kɨ nɨ ganɨdir kaba, nɨ na dama da ini. Guizbangɨra God nan apangkuva arazir bar aghuimɨn na gamigha egha bizir bar avɨrim na gamizɨ, kɨ biziba bar avɨraseme.” Egha a bizir kaba iniasa bar a gakaghonezɨma, Iso a dama da ini.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.

12Egha Iso ghaze, “Ia dɨkav e mangam. Kɨ ia ko, e uaghara mangam.”Then Esau said, “Let us be on our way, and I will go ahead of you.”

13Ezɨ Jekop a mɨgɨa ghaze, “Nan ekiam, nɨ gan boriba gavgavizir puvatɨ. Ezɨ kɨ sipsipba ko bulmakauba ko asɨzir igharaziba uan nguziba ko otem apavɨra itibagh nɨghnɨsi. E aruer vamɨran bar me inigh mangɨvɨra ikɨtɨ me bar arɨmɨghiregham.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.

14Nan ekiam, nɨ mar en faragh mangɨtɨ, kɨ aghumra asɨziba ko uan boriba inigh nɨn gɨn izam. Egh gɨn Idomɨn nguazimɨn nɨ bativam.”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.”

15Ezɨ Iso ghaze, “Kamaghɨn kɨ uan ingangarir gumazitaba nɨ bagh me ategham.” Ezɨ Jekop ghaze, “Nan ekiam, nɨ bar na gifonge. Ezɨ markɨ, nan ingangarir gumaziba iti, me e ko e mangam.”“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.”

16Ezɨ dughiar kamran Iso uamategha Idomɨn ghu.So that day Esau started on his way back to Seir,

17Ezɨ Jekop ghua Sukotɨn nguibamɨn ghu. Egha ua bagha dɨpenimɨn ingarigha egha asɨziba bagha purirpenibar ingari. Kamaghɨn a nguibar kam ziam, “Sukot,” a gatɨ.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.

18Egha Jekop Mesopotemian nguazim ategha, uamategh Kenanɨn nguazimɨn ize, egha Sekemɨn nguibam deragha an ghughava, Sekemɨn nguibar ekiamɨn boroghɨn purirpenibar ingari.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.

19Hamor a Sekemɨn afeziam, Jekop an adarazi dama nguazim givese, nguazir kamɨn a uan purirpenibar ingari. Nguazir otevir kamɨn ivezim a 100 silvan dagɨaba.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.

20Egha Jekop ofa gamir dakozir mam danganir kamɨn an ingarigha, ofa gamir dakozir kam dɨbora ghaze, “El, a Israelɨn God.”There he set up an altar and called it El-Elohe-Israel.
