He put the female servants and their children in front, Leah and her children after, and Rachel and Joseph last.

He himself went on ahead of them, and bowed himself to the ground seven times, until he approached his brother.
4 Hatei ama kâhmo hanelah Esaw koe a yawng teh, a kâtapam roi teh, a kâpaco roi teh, a ka roi.
Esau ran to meet him, embraced him, hugged his neck, and kissed him. And they wept.

And he looked up 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."

Jacob said, "No, please, if I have now found favor in our sight, then accept my present from my hand, because I have seen your face, which is like seeing the face of God, since you have accepted me.
11 Cathut ni na pahren teh, moi ka tawn doeh. Pahren lahoi kai ni na poe e naw hah na dâw pouh yaw kaw, telah ati. Hottelah pou a pasawt teh a dâw pouh.
Please take the gift that I brought to you, because God has been gracious to me, and because I have enough." Thus he urged him, and he took it.
12 Hahoi Esaw ni kamthaw awh sei. Cet awh sei, na hmalah ka cei han atipouh.
Esau said, "Let us take our journey, and let us go, and I will go ahead of you."
13 Hatei Jakop ni ahni koe na camonaw heh ek a naw rah. Tuhu hoi maitohu hoi kaimouh koe kaawm e naw teh ca ka cun e naw lah ao dawkvah, ka bawipa nang ni na panue doeh. Hnin touh mah karanglah ka hrui pawiteh be a due awh han doeh.
Jacob said to him, "My lord knows that the children are tender, and that the sheep and cattle with me have their young, and if they overdrive them one day, the whole herd will die.
14 Ka bawipa, pahren lahoi na sannaw hmalah cet nateh, Seir mon dawk ka bawipa nang koe pha awh hoehroukrak, ka hmalah saring ka cet e naw, a cei thai awh e patetlah camonaw hai a cei thai awh e patetlah payai lahoi ka ceikhai han, telah ati.
Please let my lord pass on ahead of his servant, and I will move along slowly, at the pace of the herds that are before me and at the pace of the children, until I come to my lord at Seir."

Esau said, "Let me now leave with you some of my people who are with me." But he said, "What need is there? Please indulge me, my lord."
16 Hottelah, Esaw teh hat hnin vah Seir mon pâtam laihoi a ban.
So Esau returned that day on the road to Seir.
