Genesis 33
1 And as Iaakob lift vp his eyes, and looked, behold, Esau came, and with him foure hundreth men: and he deuided the children to Leah, and to Rahel, and to the two maides.
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 maides, and their children formost, and Leah, and her children after, and Rahel, and Ioseph hindermost.
Ena eƒe kosiwo kple wo viwo nɔ ŋgɔ, Lea kple viawo nɔ eyome, eye Rahel kple Yosef nɔ wo katã megbe.
3 So he went before them and bowed him selfe to the ground seuen times, vntill he came neere to his brother.
Yakob dze wo katã ŋgɔ. Egogo foa, eye wòde ta agu nɛ zi adre.
4 Then Esau ranne to meete him, and embraced him, and fell on his necke, 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 lift vp his eyes, and sawe the women, and the children, and saide, Who are these with thee? And he answered, They are ye childre whome God of his grace hath giuen thy seruant.
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 Then came the maides neere, they, and their children, and bowed themselues.
Kosiawo kple wo viwo va ŋgɔ, eye wode ta agu nɛ.
7 Leah also with her children came neere and made obeysance: and after Ioseph and Rahel drew neere, and did reuerence.
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 Then he said, What meanest thou by all this droue, which I met? Who answered, I haue sent it, that I may finde fauour in the sight of my lorde:
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 haue ynough, my brother: keepe that thou hast to thy selfe.
Esau ko nu gblɔ be, “Nɔvinye, lãwo sɔ gbɔ ɖe asinye xoxo; tɔwòwo nenɔ asiwò ko!”
10 But Iaakob answered, Nay, I pray thee: if I haue found grace nowe in thy sight, then receiue my present at mine hande: for I haue seene thy face, as though I had seene the face of God, because thou hast accepted me.
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 I pray thee take my blessing, that is brought thee: for God hath had mercie on me, and therefore I haue all things: so he compelled him, and he tooke 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 saide, Let vs take our iourney and go, and I will goe before thee.
Esau gblɔ be, “Enyo, mina míadze mɔ. Nye kple nye amewo, míanɔ mia ŋu, eye míadze ŋgɔ na mi.”
13 Then he answered him, My lord knoweth, that the children are tender, and the ewes and kine with yong vnder mine hande: and if they should ouerdriue them one day, all the flocke 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 now my lord go before his seruant, and I will driue softly, according to ye pase of ye cattel, which is before me, and as the children be able to endure, vntill I come to my lord vnto Seir.
eya ta nye aƒetɔ, miawo mido ŋgɔ, eye míawo míadze mia yome ɖɔɖɔɖɔ ava tu mi le Seir.”
15 Then Esau said, I will leaue then some of my folke with thee. And he answered, what needeth this? let me finde grace in the sight of my lorde.
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 So Esau returned, and went his way that same day vnto Seir.
Ale Esau trɔ ɖo ta Seir gbe ma gbe ke.
17 And Iaakob went forwarde towarde Succoth, and built him an house, and made boothes for his cattell: therefore he called the name of the place 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 Afterward, Iaakob came safe to Sheche a citie, which is in the lande of Canaan, when he came from Padan Aram, and pitched before the citie.
Emegbe la, Yakob tso Padan Aram va ɖo Sekem le Kanaanyigba dzi dedie, eye wònɔ du la godo.
19 And there he bought a parcell of ground, where hee pitched his tent, at the hande of the sonnes of Hamor Shechems father, for an hundreth pieces of money.
Eƒle anyigba si dzi wònɔ la le Sekem fofo, Hamor ƒe ƒometɔwo si klosalo alafa ɖeka.
20 And he set vp there an altar, and called it, The mightie God of Israel.
Etu vɔsamlekpui aɖe ɖe afi ma, eye wòna ŋkɔe be, “El-Elohe-Israel” si gɔmee nye “Vɔsamlekpui na Israel ƒe Mawu.”
