| Vers | English: King James Version | Tamajaq Portions |
| 1 | And Jacob lifted up his eyes, and looked, and, behold, Esau came, and with him four hundred men. And he divided the children unto Leah, and unto Rachel, and unto the two handmaids. | |
| 2 | And he put the handmaids and their children foremost, and Leah and her children after, and Rachel and Joseph hindermost. | Iga šiwahayen-net əd maddan-əsnat daɣ aɣaf, issəlkam-asnat Leyya əd maddan-əs, aṃaran Raxil əd Yusəf ig-en daɣ ələqqam. |
| 3 | And he passed over before them, and bowed himself to the ground seven times, until he came near to his brother. | Ənta iṃan-net azzar-asan. As din-ihoz amaqqar-net ig-in sər-əs as əṣṣa səjudan. |
| 4 | And Esau ran to meet him, and embraced him, and fell on his neck, and kissed him: and they wept. | Ozal Esaw, issəlkad-as, izalammat-tu igabarrat iri-nnet Aṃaran ad hallan fəl tədəwit n əṃənəy. |
| 5 | And he lifted up his eyes, and saw the women and the children; and said, Who are those with thee? And he said, The children which God hath graciously given thy servant. | As inay Esaw šiḍoden əd bararan iṣəstan Yaqub: «Ma ṃosan win dər təddewa?» Ijjəwwab-as: «A wa bararan win ikfa Məššina s əlxurma-nnet akli-nnak.» |
| 6 | Then the handmaidens came near, they and their children, and they bowed themselves. | Ewadnat-du təwahayen əd maddan-əsnat əssəjadan y Esaw. |
| 7 | And Leah also with her children came near, and bowed themselves: and after came Joseph near and Rachel, and they bowed themselves. | Dəffər a di Leyya əd maddan-əs, əs tilkamat Yusəf əd Raxil. |
| 8 | And he said, What meanest thou by all this drove which I met? And he said, These are to find grace in the sight of my lord. | Iṣṣəstan-t Esaw: «Mas təleɣ əṇṇiyat n a tu-taga əs səgan win dər əṃṃənaya?» Iṇṇ-as Yaqub: «Areɣ a-dak-kan aga ṣusay Məšš-i fəl a ɣur-ək ile əlxurma» |
| 9 | And Esau said, I have enough, my brother; keep that thou hast unto thyself. | «Ələ ərrəzəɣ aggen amaḍray-nin, əṭṭəf a wa təle,» iṇṇ-as Esaw. |
| 10 | And Jacob said, Nay, I pray thee, if now I have found grace in thy sight, then receive my present at my hand: for therefore I have seen thy face, as though I had seen the face of God, and thou wast pleased with me. | Eges iṇṇ-as Yaqub: «Uhun, oṇsayaq-qay kud kay wər iha arat sər-i, əqbəl ṣusay-nin əmərədda. Ənayaq-qay šišalaɣ a wen d aṇay ən Məššina iṃan-net id ələ ɣur-ək əlxurma. |
| 11 | Take, I pray thee, my blessing that is brought to thee; because God hath dealt graciously with me, and because I have enough. And he urged him, and he took it. | Əqbəl, a daɣ-ak are, ṣusay wa dak-d-immewayan id Məššina iga fall-i əlləllu-nnet d as ələɣ arat kul wa as əḍḍərara.» Iḍgaz-tu Yaqub wəllen har iqbal Esaw ṣusay-nnet. |
| 12 | And he said, Let us take our journey, and let us go, and I will go before thee. | Iṇṇa Esaw: «Əndawat! Əddewa dər-ək.» |
| 13 | And he said unto him, My lord knoweth that the children are tender, and the flocks and herds with young are with me: and if men should overdrive them one day, all the flock will die. | Iṇṇ-as Yaqub: «Təṣṣana məšš-i as bararan ərkaman, as eharay wa ənḍərran əd šitan saṇkasnen ihhiššal-iənaṭṭaf dər-san id as itawazargaz s ətrub ad-iḍḍəz daɣ əzəl iyyan-da, iggəz-t aṃṃat.» |
| 14 | Let my lord, I pray thee, pass over before his servant: and I will lead on softly, according as the cattle that goeth before me and the children be able to endure, until I come unto my lord unto Seir. | «Oṇsayaq-qay, məšš-i, ad-i tizara, əlkəmaɣ-ak-in əd təzrek sollan əs təɣəllət ən hərwan win dat-i əd təɣəllət ən bararan har din awəda aɣaywan nak daɣ Sehir.» |
| 15 | And Esau said, Let me now leave with thee some of the folk that are with me. And he said, What needeth it? let me find grace in the sight of my lord. | Iṇṇ-as Esaw: «Oṇsayaq-qay ad-i təqbəla a ɣur-ək d-ayya iyyad daɣ meddan-in.» Iṇṇ-as Yaqub: «Wər əḍḍərara sər-san.» Igd-i ad əgrawa ɣur-ək əlxurma.» |
| 16 | So Esau returned that day on his way unto Seir. | Əzəl wen da ibaz Esaw tarrayt ta n Sehir iqqal. |
| 17 | And Jacob journeyed to Succoth, and built him an house, and made booths for his cattle: therefore the name of the place is called Succoth. | Təzzar ikka Yaqub Sukkot (almaɣna ifərgan) ikras ehan y iṃan-net, iga ifərgan y aharay-nnet a di da fəl itawaga y adgg-en eṣəm Sukkot. |
| 18 | And Jacob came to Shalem, a city of Shechem, which is in the land of Canaan, when he came from Padan-aram; and pitched his tent before the city. | Ɣur afel-net Mesofotami, Yaqub oṣa-ddu Šalem, aɣrəm wa n Šəkem, daɣ aṃadal ən Kanan, izzəbbat dat əɣrəm. |
| 19 | And he bought a parcel of a field, where he had spread his tent, at the hand of the children of Hamor, Shechem's father, for an hundred pieces of money. | Izzənza ɣur maddan-əs ən Xamor, šis ən Šəkem, akarammu n aṃadal wa daɣ ikras ahaket-net s əlqimat ən taṃeday ən tafelt n əzrəf. |
| 20 | And he erected there an altar, and called it El-elohe-Israel. | Ikras daɣ-as edagg ən ṭəkutay, ig-as eṣəm El-Elohe-Israyel (almaɣna-nnet Məššina ənta Məššina n Israyel). |
