¹Ary Jakoba dia nanopy ny masony ka nahatazana fa indro tamy Esao, mitondra efa-jato lahy. Dia nozarazarainy ny zaza ho amin'i Lea sy Rahely ary ho amin'ny ankizivavy roa.

¹Jacob lifted up his eyes, and looked, and, behold, Esau was coming, and with him four hundred men. He divided the children between Leah, Rachel, and the two handmaids.

²Ary nataony loha-lalana ny ankizivavy roa sy ny zanany, ary Lea sy ny zanany nanarakaraka, ary Rahely sy Josefa no vodi-lalana.

²He put the handmaids and their children in front, Leah and her children after, and Rachel and Joseph at the rear.

³Ary Jakoba nandeha teo alohan'izy rehetra ka niankohoka impito tamin'ny tany mandra-pahatongany teo akaikin'ny rahalahiny.

³He himself passed over in front of them, and bowed himself to the ground seven times, until he came near to his brother.

⁴Dia nihazakazaka hitsena azy Esao, ary nisakambina ny tendany, dia namihina sy nanoroka azy; ary samy nitomany izy mirahalahy.

⁴Esau ran to meet him, embraced him, fell on his neck, kissed him, and they wept.

⁵Ary Esao nanopy ny masony ka nahita ny zaza amim-behivavy; dia hoy izy: Iza moa ireto miaraka aminao ireto? Ary hoy kosa Jakoba: Ny zaza izay nomen'Andriamanitra ny mpanomponao noho ny fahasoavany.

⁵He lifted up his eyes, and saw the women and the children; and said, “Who are these with you?” He said, “The children whom God has graciously given your servant.”

⁶Dia nanatona ny ankizivavy sy ny zanany ka niankohoka.

⁶Then the handmaids came near with their children, and they bowed themselves.

⁷Dia nanatona koa Lea sy ny zanany ka niankohoka; ary farany, dia nanatona koa Josefa sy Rahely ka niankohoka.

⁷Leah also and her children came near, and bowed themselves. After them, Joseph came near with Rachel, and they bowed themselves.

⁸Ary hoy Esao: Inona moa no hevitr'ireny antokony rehetra nifanena tamiko ireny? Ary hoy izy: Mba hahitako fitia eto imason'itompokolahy.

⁸Esau said, “What do you mean by all this company which I met?” Jacob said, “To find favor in the sight of my lord.”

⁹Ary dia hoy Esao: Manam-be ihany aho, ry rahalahiko; aoka ihany ho anao ny anao.

⁹Esau said, “I have enough, my brother; let that which you have be yours.”

¹⁰Ary hoy Jakoba: Trarantitra ianao, aza an'izany; raha mba mahita fitia eto imasonao aho, dia raiso amin'ny tanako ny zavatra nampanateriko; fa efa nahita ny tavanao aho tahaka ny mahita ny tavan'Andriamanitra, ary efa sitrakao aho.

¹⁰Jacob said, “Please, no, if I have now found favor in your sight, then receive my present at my hand, because I have seen your face, as one sees the face of God, and you were pleased with me.

¹¹Trarantitra ianao, raiso re ny saotro izay nampanaterina ho anao; fa efa nanisy soa ahy Andriamanitra, ka manam-be aho. Dia nanery azy izy, ka dia noraisiny ihany ny zavatra.

¹¹Please take the gift that I brought to you, because God has dealt graciously with me, and because I have enough.” He urged him, and he took it.

¹²Ary hoy Esao: Aoka hiainga isika, ka handeha hialoha anao aho.

¹²Esau said, “Let us take our journey, and let us go, and I will go before you.”

¹³Fa hoy Jakoba taminy: Fantatr'itompokolahy fa mbola osa ny zaza, sady ampianahany ny ondry aman'osy sy ny omby ato amiko; koa raha hokorodonina indray andro aza ireo, dia ho faty avokoa ny ondry aman'osy rehetra.

¹³Jacob said to him, “My lord knows that the children are tender, and that the flocks and herds with me have their young, and if they overdrive them one day, all the flocks will die.

¹⁴Trarantitra ianao, aoka itompokolahy hialoha ny mpanompony; ary izaho handeha miadana araka izay dian'ny omby aman'ondry, izay ho eo alohako, sy ny dian'ny zaza, mandra-pahatongako any amin'itompokolahy any Seira.

¹⁴Please let my lord pass over before his servant, and I will lead on gently, according to the pace of the livestock that are before me and according to the pace of the children, until I come to my lord to Seir.”

¹⁵Ary hoy Esao: Masìna ianao, aoka ary mba hamelako hiaraka aminao ny olona izay momba ahy. Fa hoy Jakoba: Ahoana no anaovanao izany? Aoka hahita fitia eto imason'itompokolahy aho.

¹⁵Esau said, “Let me now leave with you some of the folk who are with me.” He said, “Why? Let me find favor in the sight of my lord.”

¹⁶Dia niverina androtrizay Esao tamin'ny lalany ho any Seira.

¹⁶So Esau returned that day on his way to Seir.

¹⁷Ary Jakoba nifindra nankany Sokota ka nanao trano ho azy ary nanao trano rantsan-kazo maromaro ho an'ny omby aman'ondriny; izany no nanaovana ny anaran'io tany io hoe Sokota.

¹⁷Jacob traveled to Succoth, built himself a house, and made shelters for his livestock. Therefore the name of the place is called Succoth. succoth means shelters or booths.

¹⁸Ary Jakoba tonga soa aman-tsara tao an-tanàna Sekema, izay eo amin'ny tany Kanana, rehefa avy tany Mesopotamia izy; dia nitoby tandrifin'ny tanàna.

¹⁸Jacob came in peace to the city of Shechem, which is in the land of Canaan, when he came from Paddan Aram; and encamped before the city.

¹⁹Dia novidiny vola zato tamin'ny zanak'i Hamora, rain'i Sekema, ny tany izay nanorenany ny lainy.Ary nanorina alitara teo izy, ka nataony hoe El-elohe-Isiraely ny anarany.

¹⁹He bought the parcel of ground where he had spread his tent, at the hand of the children of Hamor, Shechem’s father, for one hundred pieces of money.

²⁰Ary nanorina alitara teo izy, ka nataony hoe El-elohe-Isiraely ny anarany.

²⁰He erected an altar there, and called it El Elohe Israel. El Elohe Israel means “God, the God of Israel” or “The God of Israel is mighty.”
