Genesis 33
1 And Jacob lifted up his eyes, and looked, and, behold, Esau came, and with him four hundred men. And he divided the children to Leah, and to Rachel, and to the two handmaids.
Yakob pagyaa nʼani hunuu sɛ Esau ne ne mmarima ahanan a wɔka no ho firi akyirikyiri reba. Enti, ɔkyekyɛɛ ne mma no mu maa Lea, Rahel ne nʼasomfoɔ baanu no.
2 And he put the handmaids and their children foremost, and Leah and her children after, and Rachel and Joseph last.
Ɔmaa asomfoɔ no ne wɔn mma dii ɛkan. Lea ne ne mma nso dii hɔ. Ɛnna Rahel ne ne ba Yosef nso dii akyire.
3 And he passed over before them, and bowed himself to the ground seven times, until he came near to his brother.
Yakob deɛ, ɔdii wɔn anim. Ɔreyɛ abɛn ne nua Esau no, ɔbɔɔ ne mu ase mprɛnson.
4 And Esau ran to meet him, and embraced him, and fell on his neck, and kissed him: and they wept.
Esau tuu mmirika kɔhyiaa Yakob, yɛɛ no atuu. Ɔbam Yakob, fee nʼano. Na wɔn baanu nyinaa suiɛ.
5 And he lifted up his eyes, and saw the women and the children; and said, Who are those with you? And he said, The children which God has graciously given your servant.
Afei, Esau maa nʼani so hunuu mmaa no ne mmɔfra no. Ɔbisaa Yakob sɛ, “Yeinom yɛ ɛhefoɔ?” Ɔbuaa sɛ, “Wɔyɛ mma a Onyankopɔn de wɔn adom me a meyɛ wʼakoa.”
6 Then the handmaidens came near, they and their children, and they bowed themselves.
Afei, Yakob asomfoɔ ne wɔn mma twe bɛn Esau bɛkotoo no.
7 And Leah also with her children came near, and bowed themselves: and after came Joseph near and Rachel, and they bowed themselves.
Saa ara na Lea ne ne mma nso bɛkotoo no. Afei, Yosef ne ne maame Rahel nso ba bɛkotoo no.
8 And he said, What mean you by all this drove which I met? And he said, These are to find grace in the sight of my lord.
Esau bisaa sɛ, “Nnwan ne anantwie ne mmoa bebrebe a wɔsa so reba yi nso, aseɛ ne sɛn?” Yakob buaa sɛ, “Me wura, ɛyɛ akyɛdeɛ a mede rebrɛ wo, na manya wʼanim animuonyam.”
9 And Esau said, I have enough, my brother; keep that you have to yourself.
Nanso, Esau sere buaa no sɛ, “Me nua, mewɔ saa mmoa yi bebree ma ɛboro so. Enti, fa deɛ wode rebrɛ me yi ka wo deɛ ho.”
10 And Jacob said, No, I pray you, if now I have found grace in your sight, then receive my present at my hand: for therefore I have seen your face, as though I had seen the face of God, and you were pleased with me.
Yakob kaa sɛ, “Dabi, sɛ woagye me fɛ so deɛ a, mesrɛ wo, gye akyɛdeɛ a mede rebrɛ wo yi. Nokorɛ ni, ɛsiane sɛ wogyee me ɔdɔ so enti, mehunuu wʼanim no, na ayɛ me sɛdeɛ mahunu Onyankopɔn anim.
11 Take, I pray you, my blessing that is brought to you; because God has dealt graciously with me, and because I have enough. And he urged him, and he took it.
Mesrɛ wo, gye mʼakyɛdeɛ a mede rebrɛ wo yi, ɛfiri sɛ, Awurade adom me ama mayɛ ɔdefoɔ.” Esiane sɛ Yakob kɔɔ so srɛɛ no ara sɛ ɔnnye nʼakyɛdeɛ no enti, Esau gyeeɛ.
12 And he said, Let us take our journey, and let us go, and I will go before you.
Afei, Esau kaa sɛ, “Ma yɛnkɔ. Yɛbɛdi mo anim ne mo akɔ.”
13 And he said to him, My lord knows 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.
Nanso, Yakob buaa no sɛ, “Me wura ankasa nim sɛ, mmɔfra no bi susua. Ɛsɛ sɛ mehwɛ anantwie ne nnwan ne mmoa a wɔawowo no nso ka wɔn so brɛoo. Sɛ meka wɔn so den ɛda koro pɛ mpo a, wɔn nyinaa bɛwuwu.
14 Let my lord, I pray you, pass over before his servant: and I will lead on softly, according as the cattle that goes before me and the children be able to endure, until I come to my lord to Seir.
Enti, me wura, di yɛn ɛkan na yɛne nyɛmmoa no bɛdi wʼakyi nkakrankakra abɛto wo wɔ Seir.”
15 And Esau said, Let me now leave with you some of the folk that are with me. And he said, What needs it? let me find grace in the sight of my lord.
Enti, Esau kaa sɛ, “Anyɛ bi koraa no, ma mennya me mmarima na wɔnni wʼanim, mmɔ wo ho ban.” Yakob kaa sɛ, “Ɛho nhia sɛ ɛsɛ sɛ woyɛ me saa adɔeɛ no.”
16 So Esau returned that day on his way to Seir.
Enti, ɛda no ara, Esau sane nʼakyiri kɔɔ Seir.
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.
Nanso, Yakob deɛ, ɔkɔɔ Sukot kɔsisii ne ntomadan, pɛɛ baabi a ne mmoa no nso bɛda, de hɔ yɛɛ nʼatenaeɛ. Ɛno enti na wɔfrɛ saa beaeɛ hɔ Sukot, a asekyerɛ ne Asese no.
18 And Jacob came to Shalem, a city of Shechem, which is in the land of Canaan, when he came from Padanaram; and pitched his tent before the city.
Yakob firii Paddan-Aram no, ɔkɔduruu Sekem kuro a ɛwɔ Kanaan asase so asomdwoeɛ mu.
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.
Yakob tɔɔ asase a ɔtenaa so no nnwetɛ mpɔ ɔha firii Sekem agya Hamor mma nkyɛn.
20 And he erected there an altar, and called it EleloheIsrael.
Wɔsii afɔrebukyia wɔ hɔ, too saa afɔrebukyia no edin El-Elohe-Israel, a asekyerɛ ne Onyankopɔn, Israel Onyankopɔn Afɔrebukyia.
