¹याकूबले हेर्यो अनि एसाव आउँदैगरेको देख्यो। एसाव आइरहेको थियो अनि चार सय मानिसहरू ऊसंग थिए। याकूबले आफ्नो परिवारलाई चार दलमा बाँड्‌यो। लेआ र उसको नानीहरू एउटा दलमा अनि राहेल र यूसुफ अर्को एक दलमा अनि दुइवटी कमारीहरू र तिनीहरूको नानीहरूलाई दुइ दलमा।

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.

²याकूबले कमारीहरू र तिनीहरूका नानीहरूलाई आगाडि राख्यो। त्यसपछि तिनीहरूको पछि उनले लेआ र उसका नानीहरूलाई राख्यो। अनि अन्तमा याकूबले राहेल र यूसुफलाई राख्यो।

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

³याकूब आफैं तिनीहरूको अगि गए अनि उसको आफ्नो दाज्यूको नजिक नपुगुञ्जेल सम्म सात पल्ट भूइँतिर घोप्ट्यो।

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

⁴एसाव उसलाई भेट्न दगुर्यो अनि उसलाई अँगालो हाल्यो। उनले आफ्नो भाइको छातीमा हात राख्यो र उसलाई म्वाइँ खायो अनि तिनीहरू रोए।

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

⁵त्यसपछि एसावले हेर्यो अनि स्त्रीहरू र नानीहरूलाई देखेर भने, “तँसित यी को हुन्?” याकूबले भने, “यी नानीहरू परमेश्वरले तिम्रा दासलाई दिनु भएका हो। परमेश्वरले मलाई दया गर्नु भएको छ।”

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.”

⁶त्यसपछि ती दुइ कमारीहरू र नानीहरू एसाव नजिक पुगे अनि उसकोअघि निहुरिए।

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

⁷त्यसपछि लेआ र तिनका नानीहरू एसावकहाँ गए अनि तिनलाई निहुरिएर ढोगे। राहेल र यूसुफले पनि त्यसै गरे।

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

⁸एसावले भने, “आउँदा बाटोमा मैले जो मानिसहरू देखें तिनीहरू को हुन? अनि ती सब पशुहरू के को निम्ति हुन्?” याकूबले उत्तर दियो, “तिनीहरू सब तिमीलाई मेरो उपहार हुन जसले गर्दा तिमीले मलाई स्वीकार गर्छौ।”

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

⁹तर एसावले भने, “भाइ, तेंले मलाई केही दिनुपर्दैन कारण मसँग प्रशस्त छ।”

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

¹⁰याकूबले भने, “होइन, म तिमीलाई बिन्ती गर्छु, यदि तिमीले मलाई स्वीकार गर्छौ भने यो मेरो उपहार पनि दया गरी स्वीकार र्गन्‌ पर्छ। तिमीलाई दोस्रो पल्ट देख्न पाउँदा म अत्यन्तै आनन्दित छु। मलाई परमेश्वरले अनुग्रहले मिलाए जस्तै लागेको छ। म अन्यन्तै खुशी छु तिमीले मलाई स्वीकार्यौ।

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.

¹¹यसकारण म बिन्ती गर्छु जो उपहार म दिदैछु त्यो स्वीकार गर। परमेश्वर ममाथि अत्यन्तै दयालु हुनुहुन्छ। मसँग मेरो आवश्यकताभन्दा बेशी छ।” यसरी याकूबले एसावसित उपहार स्वीकार गर्न विन्ती गर्यो। यसकारण एसावले याकूबको उपहार स्वीकार गर्यो।

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.

¹²त्यसपछि एसावले भने, “अब तैंले आफ्नो यात्रा जारी राख्न सक्छस र म तँसँगै जानेछु।”

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

¹³तर याकूबले भने, “तिमीलाई थाहा भयो कि अहिले मेरा नानीहरू एकदमै दुर्बल छन् अनि मैले मेरा भेडाहरू तथा तिनका थुमाहरूको पनि हेरचाह गर्नु पर्छ। यदि मैले तिनीहरूलाई दिउँसो धेरै बेरसम्म हिंडाएँ भने हुन सक्छ ती पशुहरू मर्छन्।

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.

¹⁴यसकारण तिमीअघि जाऊ र म बिस्तारै-बिस्तारै तिम्रोपछि आउँछु। म पशुहरू अनि तिनीहरूका बच्चाहरू बचाऊँको लागि बिस्तारैसित आउँछु, अनि म अत्यन्तै बिस्तार आउँछु कारण मेरा नानीहरू धेरै नथाकून् म तिमीलाई सेइरमा भेट्नेछु।”

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.”

¹⁵यसकारण एसावले भने, “तब म मेरा केही साथीहरूलाई तेरो सहायताको निम्ति छोडी दिन्छु।” तर याकूबले भन्यो, “यो तिम्रो विशेष दया हो। तर यसो गर्नु कुनै आवश्यकता छैन।”

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.”

¹⁶यसकारण त्यो दिन एसाव सेइर फर्कियो।

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

¹⁷तर याकूब सुक्कोत गए अनि त्यहाँ उनले एउटा घर र पशुहरूको निम्ति सानो खोर बनायो। यही कारणले यस ठाउँको नाउँ सुक्कोत राखियो।

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.

¹⁸यसर्थ याकूब पद्दन-आरामबाट कनान देशको शेकेमसम्म सुरक्षित यात्रा गरेर आयो। उनले शहरको पूर्वमा आफ्नो पाल हाल्यो।

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.

¹⁹उनले जहाँ आफ्नो पाल हालेको थियो त्यस ठाउँ शकेमको बाबु हमोरको परिवारबाट किनेको थियो। त्यसको निम्ति याकूबले एक सय चाँदीका सिक्का दियो।

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.

²⁰त्यहाँ उसले एउटा वेदी बनायो अनि त्यसको नाउँ “एल” इस्राएलका परमेश्वर’ राख्यो।

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.”
