Jacob looked up and, behold, Esau was coming, and with him were four hundred men. Jacob divided the children among Leah, Rachel, and the two female servants.

When Esau looked up, he saw the women and the children. He said, “Who are these people with you?” Jacob said, “The children whom God has graciously given your servant.”
6 Te vaengah a salnu rhoek neh a ca rhoek te thoeih uh tih bakop uh.
Then the female servants came forward with their children, and they bowed down.

Jacob said, “No, please, if I have found favor in your eyes, then accept my gift from my hand, for indeed, I have seen your face, and it is like seeing the face of God, and you have accepted me.
11 Pathen loh kai n'rhen tih kai ham a cungkuem a khueh dongah kai kah yoethennah nang taengla kang khuen te doe mai,” a ti nah tih amh te a hloep daengah a doe pah.
Please accept my gift that was brought to you, because God has dealt graciously with me, and because I have enough.” Thus Jacob urged him, and Esau accepted it.
12 Te phoeiah, “Ceh, cet uh pawn sih lamtah nang hnuk ah ka lo eh?,” a ti nah.
Then Esau said, “Let us be on our way. I will go before you.”

Jacob said to him, “My master knows that the children are young, and that the sheep and the cattle are nursing their young. If they are driven hard even one day, all the animals will die.
14 Ka boeipa te a sal hmai ah ana cet mai saeh. Kai tah ka mikhmuh kah bitat dongkah khokan neh, camoe rhoek kah khokan neh, vawlhvawlh kang khool vetih Seir kah ka boeipa taeng hil ka lo eh?,” a ti nah.
Please let my master go on ahead of his servant. I will travel more slowly, at the pace of the livestock that are before me, and at the pace of the children, until I come to my master in Seir.”
