< 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 unto Leah, and unto Rachel, and unto the two handmaids.
Pea hanga hake ʻa Sēkope ʻo sio, pea vakai, naʻe haʻu ʻa ʻIsoa, mo e kau tangata ʻe toko fāngeau. Pea vaheʻi ʻe ia ʻae fānau, kia Lia, mo Lesieli, pea mo e ongo kaunanga.
2 And he put the handmaids and their children foremost, and Leah and her children after, and Rachel and Joseph hindermost.
Pea ne fakamuʻomuʻa ʻae ongo kaunanga mo ʻena fānau, pea hoko ʻa Lia mo ʻene fānau, pea fakamuimui ʻa Lesieli mo Siosefa.
3 And he himself passed over before them, and bowed himself to the ground seven times, until he came near to his brother.
Pea ne muʻomuʻa ia ʻiate kinautolu, pea punou hifo ia ʻo tuʻo fitu ki he kelekele, ʻi heʻene ʻunuʻunu atu ki hono taʻokete.
4 And Esau ran to meet him, and embraced him, and fell on his neck, and kissed him; and they wept.
Ka naʻe lele ʻa ʻIsoa ke fakafetaulaki kiate ia, pea ne fāʻofua ia ki hono kia, pea uma kiate ia: pea naʻa na fetāngihi.
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 whom God hath graciously given thy servant.'
Pea hanga hake hono mata, ʻo ne sio ki he kau fefine mo e tamaiki: pea pehē ʻe ia, “Ko hai ʻakinautolu ni ʻoku ʻiate koe?” Pea pehēange ʻe ia, “Ko e fānau, kuo foaki ʻe he ʻOtua ʻaloʻofa ki hoʻo tamaioʻeiki.”
6 Then the handmaids came near, they and their children, and they bowed down.
Pea naʻe toki ʻunuʻunu mai ʻo ofi, ʻae ongo kaunanga, ʻakinaua mo ʻena fānau, pea naʻa nau punou.
7 And Leah also and her children came near, and bowed down; and after came Joseph near and Rachel, and they bowed down.
Pea haʻu ʻo ofi ʻa Lia foki mo ʻene fānau, pea punou ʻakinautolu: pea haʻu fakamui ʻa Siosefa mo Lesieli ʻo ofi, pea punou ʻakinaua.
8 And he said: 'What meanest thou by all this camp which I met?' And he said: 'To find favour in the sight of my lord.'
Pea pehē ʻe ia, “Ko e hā hono ʻuhinga ʻoe ngaahi fanga manu naʻa mau fehikitaki mo au?” Pea pehē ʻe ia, “Ko e meʻa ke ʻofeina ai au ʻi he ʻao ʻo hoku ʻeiki.”
9 And Esau said: 'I have enough; my brother, let that which thou hast be thine.'
Pea pehē ʻe ʻIsoa, “Ko hoku tehina, kuo lahi ʻeku meʻa; ke ʻiate koe pe, ʻaia ʻoku ʻaʻau.”
10 And Jacob said: 'Nay, I pray thee, if now I have found favour in thy sight, then receive my present at my hand; forasmuch as I have seen thy face, as one seeth the face of God, and thou wast pleased with me.
Pea pehēange ʻe Sēkope, “ʻOua, ko eni, ʻoku ou kole kiate koe, kapau ʻoku ou lelei ʻi ho ʻao, pea ke maʻu ʻeku meʻaʻofa mei hoku nima; he ko ia kuo u mamata ai ki ho mata, ʻo hangē ko e fofonga ʻoe ʻOtua, pea kuo ke lelei kiate au.
11 Take, I pray thee, my gift that is brought to thee; because God hath dealt graciously with me, and because I have enough.' And he urged him, and he took it.
‌ʻOku ou kole ke ke maʻu ʻeku tāpuaki, ʻaia kuo ʻomi kiate koe; koeʻuhi kuo fai lelei ʻe he ʻOtua kiate au, pea kuo u maʻu ʻo lahi.” Pea naʻa ne fakalotoʻi ia, pea ne toʻo ia.
12 And he said: 'Let us take our journey, and let us go, and I will go before thee.'
Pea pehē ʻe ia, “Ke tau fononga pea tau ō, pea te u muʻomuʻa ʻiate koe.”
13 And he said unto him: 'My lord knoweth that the children are tender, and that the flocks and herds giving suck are a care to me; and if they overdrive them one day, all the flocks will die.
Pea pehēange ʻe ia kiate ia, “ʻOku ʻilo ʻe hoku ʻeiki ʻoku vaivai ʻae tamaiki, pea ʻoku ʻiate au ʻae fanga manu feitama: pea kapau ʻe fakateka mālohi ʻakinautolu ʻe he kau tangata, ʻi he ʻaho pe taha, ʻe mate ai kotoa pē.
14 Let my lord, I pray thee, pass over before his servant; and I will journey on gently, according to the pace of the cattle that are before me and according to the pace of the children, until I come unto my lord unto Seir.'
‌ʻOku ou kole kiate koe, ke muʻomuʻa ʻa hoku ʻeiki ʻi heʻene tamaioʻeiki; pea te u muimui atu ʻo fakatuotuai, ʻo fakatatau ki he faʻa fai ʻe he fanga manu, mo e tamaiki, ʻa ʻenau muʻomuʻa ʻiate au, ke ʻoua ke u hoko ki hoku ʻeiki ʻi Seia.”
15 And Esau said: 'Let me now leave with thee some of the folk that are with me.' And he said: 'What needeth it? let me find favour in the sight of my lord.'
Pea talaange ʻe ʻIsoa, “Tuku ke nofo kiate koe hā niʻihi ʻiate kinautolu ʻoku ʻiate au:” pea pehē ʻe ia, “Ko e hā hono ʻaonga?” Tuku ke u lelei ʻi he ʻao ʻo hoku ʻeiki.
16 So Esau returned that day on his way unto Seir.
Pea tafoki ʻa ʻIsoa ʻi he ʻaho ko ia ke ʻalu ki Seia.
17 And Jacob journeyed to Succoth, and built him a house, and made booths for his cattle. Therefore the name of the place is called Succoth.
Pea fononga ʻa Sēkope ki Sukote, pea langa ai hono fale louʻakau ʻo ne ngaohi ai ʻae ngaahi fale louʻakau ki heʻene fanga manu: ko ia ʻoku ui ai ʻae potu ko ia ko Sukote.
18 And Jacob came in peace to the city of Shechem, which is in the land of Canaan, when he came from Paddan-aram; and encamped before the city.
Pea hoko lelei pe ʻa Sēkope ki he kolo ko Sikemi, ʻaia ʻoku ʻi he fonua ko Kēnani, ʻi heʻene haʻu mei Petanalami; pea naʻa ne fokotuʻu hono fale fehikitaki ʻo ofi ki he kolo.
19 And he bought the parcel of ground, where he had spread his tent, at the hand of the children of Hamor, Shechem's father, for a hundred pieces of money.
Pea ne fakatau ʻae potu ngoue, ʻaia ne ne folahi ai hono fale fehikitaki, mei he nima ʻoe fānau ʻa Hemoa ko e tamai ʻa Sikemi, ʻaki ʻae paʻanga ʻe teau.
20 And he erected there an altar, and called it El-elohe-Israel.
Pea naʻa ne fokotuʻu ʻi ai ʻae ʻesifeilaulau, ʻo ne ui ia ko ʻEle-ilohe-ʻIsileli.
