1Hichun Jacob akhodah in avet a ahile Esau chu mihem jali jen to ahung amutai. Chuin Jacob in jong achate chu Leah le Rachel chule asoh numei teni ahop peh sohkeiye.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.

2Hichun asoh numei le achate ho jouse amasat sah in, abanin Leah le achate achesah in, chule achaina in Rachel le Joseph apansah e.He put the maidservants and their children in front, Leah and her children next, and Rachel and Joseph at the rear.

3Chuin Jacob ama mong-mong amaho jouse masanga chun achen, aupa heng ahin phah tokahsen sagi vei jen tol'a abohkhup in ahi.But Jacob himself went on ahead and bowed to the ground seven times as he approached his brother.

4Hichun Esau alhai pheijin apumkoi jengin, chule angong koiya achop a ahile ani lhon'in akika lhon tai.Esau, however, ran to him and embraced him, threw his arms around his neck, and kissed him. And they both wept.

5Hichun Esau in numei ho chule achate ho chu aven adongin, “Amaho hi koi hiuva ham,” ati. Jacob in adonbut in, “Hiche chapang ho hi Pathen'in na sohpa phatthei eibohna ahi,” ati.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.”

6Hichun soh numei teni le achate hon ahin nailut un Esau masanga chun abohkhup tauvin ahi.Then the maidservants and their children approached and bowed down.

7Leah le achate jong ahin nailut uvin abohkhup in asalam uve; chule anukhah penin Joseph le Rachel ahung nailut lhon'in abohkhup lhon'in salam abol lhon tai.Leah and her children also approached and bowed down, and then Joseph and Rachel approached and bowed down.

8Esau in adong tan, “Ahile hiche kahin kitopi gancha honpi chu ipi nabolna ham?” ati. Jacob in adonbut in, “Nangma masang'a lunglhaina kamuna tei ding kati ahi,” ati.“What do you mean by sending this whole company to meet me?” asked Esau. “To find favor in your sight, my lord,” Jacob answered.

9Esau in adonbut in, “Kanao, keiman jong tamtah kanei nai” atin, “Nangma thil chu nang dingin kikoi tan,” ati.“I already have plenty, my brother,” Esau replied. “Keep what belongs to you.”

10Ahin Jacob in asei teiyin, “Ahipoi, nangman hiche kipa thilpeh ho hi nalah louva hitheilou ahi, keiman nangma mai kamu hi Pathen mai mu tobang kahi, nangma mai kamu theiya nanui awgin kajah hi thina a konna galkai kahitai! ati.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.

11Lungset tah in hiche thilpeh ho hi nei sanpeh teiyin, Pathen'in ka ngaichat jouse eipetai.” Hichun Jacob in ahasei behset jeh chun Esau chun thilpeh ho chu asang tai.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 in, “Aphai,” “Keiman na lamkai jing ting eini che tahite.”Then Esau said, “Let us be on our way, and I will go ahead of you.”

13Jacob in adonbut in, “Ka pakai, neihet them peh mai jin, chate ho hi alhasam thei lheh na laiyun, gancha bongnou ho leh kelnou ho jong ahonpi toh ki khen thei lou lai ahiuvin, nikhat sunga hatah in kihoi pai taleh gancha honte aboncha thigam jeng thei ahiuve.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.

14Hijeh chun lungset tah in, na sohpa masanga kapu ana masa jengin lang keiman olcha chan ka masanga gancha ho ki kalvan bang ule chapang te kikalvan bang bangu hin, Seir gam'a kapu heng kahin phah kahsen hung nange, ati.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.”

15Apha lheh jenge tin Esau in adonbut in, “Hinlah ka mite ho themkhat tou dalhang kating nangho lamhil ding chule boina le hahsatna a pan lathei ding.” ati, Jacob in adonbut in, “Hiche ho chu ngai ponte, lungset umtah a kapun neina lamdot hi alhingset in ka sange!” ati.“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.”

16Hichun Esau chu akinung heijin Seir gam jon ding chun hiche ni ma-ma chun achekit tai.So that day Esau started on his way back to Seir,

17Jacob vang chu ahile Succoth lama achen hiche mun'a chun inlim gancha ho din asong in, chule ama chenna dingin jong in aki sahtai. Hiche jeh a chu hiche mun chu Succoth (tichu chenna mun tina ahi) kiti ahi.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.

18Phat chomkhat jouvin Jacob chu Paddan-aram lam'ah kon'in Shechem Canaan gam ahunglhung tan, hiche khopi phah masanga chun ngahmun khat asem kittai.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.

19Jacob in Shechem pa Hamor chate khut a kon chun gam leiset phabep sum jakhat in akichoh in hikom'a chun ponbuh akison tai.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.

20Hichun aman maicham atungdoh in amin chu El-Elohe-Israel asah tai.There he set up an altar and called it El-Elohe-Israel.
