“What were all the livestock for that I met on the way?” Esau asked. “They're a gift to you my lord so you'd treat me well,” Jacob answered.

Please take the gift I've brought to you because God has treated me so well and I have so much.” So Esau accepted it.
12 Esau in aseiye, “Aphai atitai, keiman na lamkai jing ting eini che ta hite.”
“Let's get on our way,” Esau said. “I'll go ahead of you.”

“My lord can see that the children are weak,” Jacob responded. “Also, the goats, sheep, and cattle are nursing their young, and if I push them too hard, they'll all die.
14 Hijeh chun lungset tah in na sohpa masanga kapu ana masa jeng in 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 kah sen hung nange ati.
You go on, my lord, and your servant will come along slowly, walking with the children, and I'll meet you at Seir.”

“Fine, but let me leave some of my men with you,” said Esau. “You're very kind, but there's no need to do that,” Jacob replied.
