Genesis 33
1 And Jacob lifted up his eyes and looked, and behold, Esau was coming, and with him four hundred men. And he distributed the children to Leah, and to Rachel, and to the two maidservants:
Yakob kpɔ Esau le adzɔge ʋĩi wògbɔna kple eƒe ame alafa ene. Ke ema ɖeviawo na Lea, Rahel kple kosi eveawo.
2 and he put the maidservants and their children foremost, and Leah and her children after, and Rachel and Joseph hindmost.
Ena eƒe kosiwo kple wo viwo nɔ ŋgɔ, Lea kple viawo nɔ eyome, eye Rahel kple Yosef nɔ wo katã megbe.
3 And he passed on before them, and bowed to the earth seven times, until he came near to his brother.
Yakob dze wo katã ŋgɔ. Egogo foa, eye wòde ta agu nɛ zi adre.
4 And Esau ran to meet him, and embraced him, and fell on his neck, and kissed him; and they wept.
Esau ƒu du yi ɖakpee, kpla asi kɔ nɛ lɔlɔ̃tɔe, eye wògbugbɔ nu nɛ. Wo ame eveawo fa avi hehehe!
5 And he lifted up his eyes and saw the women and the children, and said, Who are these with thee? And he said, The children that God has graciously given thy servant.
Esau kpɔ nyɔnuawo kple ɖeviawo, eye wòbia be, “Ame kawoe nye esiawo le ŋuwò?” Yakob ɖo eŋu be, “Vinyewoe, Mawue na ɖevi siawo nye wò subɔla to eƒe amenuveve me.”
6 And the maidservants drew near, they and their children, and they bowed.
Kosiawo kple wo viwo va ŋgɔ, eye wode ta agu nɛ.
7 And Leah also, with her children, drew near, and they bowed. And lastly Joseph drew near, and Rachel, and they bowed.
Emegbe Lea kple etɔwo va, eye woawo hã de ta agu nɛ. Azɔ Rahel kple Yosef va, eye woawo hã de ta agu nɛ.
8 And he said, What [meanest] thou by all the drove which I met? And he said, To find favour in the eyes of my lord.
Esau bia be, “Lãha kawoe nye esiwo kpɔm mele?” Yakob ɖo eŋu be, “Woawoe nye nye nunanawo na wò nye aƒetɔ be nàve nunye.”
9 And Esau said, I have enough, my brother; let what thou hast be thine.
Esau ko nu gblɔ be, “Nɔvinye, lãwo sɔ gbɔ ɖe asinye xoxo; tɔwòwo nenɔ asiwò ko!”
10 And Jacob said, No, I pray thee; if now I have found favour in thine eyes, then receive my gift from my hand; for therefore have I seen thy face, as though I had seen the face of God, and thou hast received me with pleasure.
Yakob yi edzi be, “Ao, xɔ nunanawo nam ko, elabena wò alɔgbɔnu si nèko xɔlɔ̃tɔe nam la na nya la kɔ le dzinye! Vɔvɔ̃ ɖom le ŋutiwò abe Mawu ƒe ŋkumee mekpɔ ene.
11 Take, I pray thee, my blessing which has been brought to thee; because God has been gracious to me, and because I have everything. And he urged him, and he took [it].
Meɖe kuku, xɔ nye nunanawo ko, elabena Mawu yram, eye nu geɖe le asinye.” Yakob ƒoe ɖe enu, eye Esau lɔ̃ xɔ nunanawo.
12 And he said, Let us take our journey, and go on, and I will go before thee.
Esau gblɔ be, “Enyo, mina míadze mɔ. Nye kple nye amewo, míanɔ mia ŋu, eye míadze ŋgɔ na mi.”
13 And he said to him, My lord knows that the children are tender, and the suckling sheep and kine are with me; and if they should overdrive them only one day, all the flock would die.
Ke Yakob ɖo eŋu be, “Nye aƒetɔ, ɖeviawo dometɔ aɖewo metsi o, eye nenema ke vidzĩwo le lãwo dome. Ne míedo du wo akpa la, woaku,
14 Let my lord, I pray thee, pass on before his servant, and I will drive on at my ease according to the pace of the cattle that is before me, and according to the pace of the children, until I come to my lord, to Seir.
eya ta nye aƒetɔ, miawo mido ŋgɔ, eye míawo míadze mia yome ɖɔɖɔɖɔ ava tu mi le Seir.”
15 And Esau said, Let me now leave with thee [some] of the people that are with me. And he said, What need? Let me find favour in the eyes of my lord.
Esau gblɔ be, “Enyo, mana nye ame aɖewo nakpe ɖe mia ŋu, eye woanye kplɔlawo na mi.” Yakob gbe be, “Ao, nye aƒetɔ, míanɔ edzi ɖɔɖɔɖɔ ava tu mi. Meɖe kuku, na wòanɔ abe ale si megblɔ ene.”
16 And Esau returned that day on his way to Seir.
Ale Esau trɔ ɖo ta Seir gbe ma gbe ke.
17 And Jacob journeyed to Succoth, and built himself a house, and for his cattle he made booths. Therefore the name of the place was called Succoth.
Yakob kple eƒe amewo yi ɖaɖo Sukɔt. Etu agbletaxɔ kple lãkpowo ɖe afi ma, eya ta woyɔa teƒe ma be Sukot si gɔmee nye “Agbletaxɔwo.”
18 And Jacob came safely [to the] city Shechem, which is in the land of Canaan, when he came from Padan-Aram; and he encamped before the city.
Emegbe la, Yakob tso Padan Aram va ɖo Sekem le Kanaanyigba dzi dedie, eye wònɔ du la godo.
19 And he bought the portion of the field where he had spread his tent, of the hand of the sons of Hamor, Shechem's father, for a hundred kesitahs.
Eƒle anyigba si dzi wònɔ la le Sekem fofo, Hamor ƒe ƒometɔwo si klosalo alafa ɖeka.
20 And there he set up an altar, and called it El-Elohe-Israel.
Etu vɔsamlekpui aɖe ɖe afi ma, eye wòna ŋkɔe be, “El-Elohe-Israel” si gɔmee nye “Vɔsamlekpui na Israel ƒe Mawu.”
