Genesis 33
1 Now Jacob looked up and saw that Esau approaching, and with him four hundred men. He divided the children between Leah, Rachel, and the two female servants.
Yakob kpɔ Esau le adzɔge ʋĩi wògbɔna kple eƒe ame alafa ene. Ke ema ɖeviawo na Lea, Rahel kple kosi eveawo.
2 He put the female servants and their children in front, Leah and her children after, and Rachel and Joseph last.
Ena eƒe kosiwo kple wo viwo nɔ ŋgɔ, Lea kple viawo nɔ eyome, eye Rahel kple Yosef nɔ wo katã megbe.
3 He himself went on ahead of them, and bowed himself to the ground seven times, until he approached his brother.
Yakob dze wo katã ŋgɔ. Egogo foa, eye wòde ta agu nɛ zi adre.
4 Esau ran to meet him, embraced him, hugged 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 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."
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 the female servants came forward with their children, and they bowed themselves.
Kosiawo kple wo viwo va ŋgɔ, eye wode ta agu nɛ.
7 Leah also and her children came forward, and bowed themselves. After them, Joseph came forward with Rachel, and they bowed themselves.
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 Esau said, "What do you mean by all this company which I met?" Jacob said, "To find favor in the sight 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 Esau said, "I have enough, my brother; keep what you have for yourself."
Esau ko nu gblɔ be, “Nɔvinye, lãwo sɔ gbɔ ɖe asinye xoxo; tɔwòwo nenɔ asiwò ko!”
10 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.
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 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.
Meɖe kuku, xɔ nye nunanawo ko, elabena Mawu yram, eye nu geɖe le asinye.” Yakob ƒoe ɖe enu, eye Esau lɔ̃ xɔ nunanawo.
12 Esau said, "Let us take our journey, and let us go, and I will go ahead of you."
Esau gblɔ be, “Enyo, mina míadze mɔ. Nye kple nye amewo, míanɔ mia ŋu, eye míadze ŋgɔ na mi.”
13 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.
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 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."
eya ta nye aƒetɔ, miawo mido ŋgɔ, eye míawo míadze mia yome ɖɔɖɔɖɔ ava tu mi le Seir.”
15 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."
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 that day on the road to Seir.
Ale Esau trɔ ɖo ta Seir gbe ma gbe ke.
17 But Jacob traveled to Succoth, and he built himself a house, and made shelters for his livestock. Therefore the name of the place is 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 After Jacob came from Paddan Aram, he arrived safely at the city of Shechem, which is in the land of Canaan, and camped near the city.
Emegbe la, Yakob tso Padan Aram va ɖo Sekem le Kanaanyigba dzi dedie, eye wònɔ du la godo.
19 He purchased the parcel of land where he had pitched his tent, from 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 He erected an altar there 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.”
