1Now 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.
1Te vaengah Jakob loh a mik huel tih a sawt hatah Esau neh a taengkah hlang ya li te tarha a pawk pah. Te dongah camoe rhoek te Leah taengah khaw, Rakhel taengah khaw, a imom rhoi taengah a rhek.
2He put the maidservants and their children in front, Leah and her children next, and Rachel and Joseph at the rear.
2Te phoeiah salnu rhoek neh amih kah a ca rhoek a lamhma sak tih Leah neh a rhoek loh a hmaithawn. Rakhel neh Joseph te lamhnuk la a khueh.
3But Jacob himself went on ahead and bowed to the ground seven times as he approached his brother.
3Te phoeiah amah te amih hmai la cet tih a maya taeng a pha due diklai la voei rhih bakop.
4Esau, however, ran to him and embraced him, threw his arms around his neck, and kissed him. And they both wept.
4Tedae anih te doe ham Esau yong tih a rhawn ah a kop uh rhoi, mok uh rhoi tih rhap rhoi.
5When 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.”
5Te vaengah a dan hatah huta rhoek neh camoe rhoek te a hmuh tih, “Nang taengkah rhoek he u rhoek lae?” a ti nah dae, “Pathen loh na sal taengah n'rhen nah camoe rhoek ni,” a ti nah.
6Then the maidservants and their children approached and bowed down.
6Te vaengah a salnu rhoek neh a ca rhoek te thoeih uh tih bakop uh.
7Leah and her children also approached and bowed down, and then Joseph and Rachel approached and bowed down.
7Te phoeiah Leah neh a ca rhoek khaw thoeih uh tih a bakop uh vaengah Joseph neh Rakhel khaw thoeih tih bakop rhoi.
8“What do you mean by sending this whole company to meet me?” asked Esau. “To find favor in your sight, my lord,” Jacob answered.
8Te dongah Esau loh, “Lambong boeih ka hum he, metlam na om te,” a ti nah. Te dongah, “Ka boeipa mik ah mikdaithen dang ham ni,” a ti nah.
9“I already have plenty, my brother,” Esau replied. “Keep what belongs to you.”
9Tedae Esau loh, “Ka mana, kamah taengah muep om ta; namah taengkah te namah ham om saeh,” a ti nah.
10But 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.
10Jakob loh, “Pawh, na mikhmuh ah mikdaithen la ka tueng mai khaming. Na maelhmai he Pathen maelhmai a hmuh bangla kam hmuh. Kai nan moeithen banghui la ka kut lamkah ka khosaa he lo mai.
11Please 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.
11Pathen loh kai n'rhen tih kai ham a cungkuem a khueh dongah kai kah yoethennah nang taengla kang khuen te doe mai,” a ti nah tih amh te a hloep daengah a doe pah.
12Then Esau said, “Let us be on our way, and I will go ahead of you.”
12Te phoeiah, “Ceh, cet uh pawn sih lamtah nang hnuk ah ka lo eh?,” a ti nah.
13But 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.
13Tedae Jakob loh, “Ka boeipa camoe rhoek te mongkawt uh pueng tih ka taengah boiva neh saelhung cacun khaw om tila na ming. Amih te hnin at ah rhenten kam vai koinih boiva loh boeih duek uh ni.
14Please 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.”
14Ka boeipa te a sal hmai ah ana cet mai saeh. Kai tah ka mikhmuh kah bitat dongkah khokan neh, camoe rhoek kah khokan neh, vawlhvawlh kang khool vetih Seir kah ka boeipa taeng hil ka lo eh?,” a ti nah.
15“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.”
15Te dongah Esau loh, “Ka pilnam he nang taengah ka khueh mai eh ne,” a ti nah. Tedae, “Balae tih, ka boeipa kah mikhmuh ah mikdaithen ka dang mai mako,” a ti nah.
16So that day Esau started on his way back to Seir,
16Te dongah Esau khaw amah tekah khohnin ah amah longpuei ah Seir la bal.
17but 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.
17Tedae Jakob loh Sukkoth la cet tih amah ham im a sak phoeiah a boiva ham pohlip a saii. Te dongah te hmuen ming te Sukkoth la a khue.
18After 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.
18Te phoeiah Jakob loh Paddanaram lamloh hlah uh. Kanaan diklai Shekhem khopuei te sading la a pha tih khopuei imdan ah rhaeh.
19And 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.
19Te vaengah a dap tuk hmuen te Shekhem napa Hamor ca rhoek kut lamkah khamyai rhoek te tangka yakhat neh a lai.
20There he set up an altar and called it El-Elohe-Israel.
20Te dongah hmueihtuk pahoi a suem tih El Elohim Israel a sui.
