Genesis 33
1 Then Jacob lifted up his eyes and looked, and lo! Esau, coming in, —and with him, four hundred men. So he divided the children—unto Leah and unto Rachel, and unto the two handmaids;
Yakob maa nʼani so na ohuu sɛ Esau ne ne mmarima ahannan a wɔka ne ho no fi akyirikyiri reba. Enti ɔkyekyɛɛ ne mma no mu maa Lea, Rahel ne nʼasomfo baanu no.
2 and put the handmaids and their children first, —and Leah and her children next, and Rachel and Joseph next;
Ɔmaa asomfo no ne wɔn mma dii kan. Lea ne ne mma nso dii hɔ; na Rahel ne ne ba Yosef nso dii akyi.
3 but he himself, passed over before them, and bowed himself to the earth seven times, until he had come near unto his brother.
Yakob de, odii wɔn anim. Ɔreyɛ abɛn ne nua Esau no, ɔbɔɔ ne mu ase mpɛn ason.
4 Then ran Esau to meet him, and embraced him, and fell on his neck, —and they wept.
Esau tuu mmirika kohyiaa Yakob, yɛɛ no atuu. Ɔbam Yakob, few nʼano. Na wɔn baanu nyinaa sui.
5 Then lifted he up his eyes, and beheld the women and the children, and said What are these to thee? And he said—The children wherewith God hath favoured thy servant,
Na Esau maa nʼani so huu mmea no ne mmofra no. Obisaa Yakob se, “Eyinom yɛ hefo.” Obuae se, “Wɔyɛ mma a Onyankopɔn de wɔn adom me a meyɛ wʼakoa no.”
6 Then came near the handmaids, they—and their children, —and bowed themselves.
Na Yakob asomfo ne wɔn mma twiw bɛn Esau bɛkotow no.
7 Then came near Leah also with her children, —and they bowed themselves. And afterwards, came near Joseph with Rachel, and they bowed themselves,
Saa ara na Lea ne ne mma nso bɛkotow no. Na Yosef ne ne na Rahel nso ba bɛkotow no.
8 Then said he, What to thee is all this camp, which I have fallen in with? And he said, —To find favour in the eyes of my lord.
Esau bisae se, “Nguan ne anantwi ne mmoa bebrebe a wɔsa so reba yi nso ase ne dɛn?” Yakob buae se, “Me wura, ɛyɛ akyɛde a mede rebrɛ wo, na manya wʼanim anuonyam.”
9 Then said Esau, I have an abundance, —my brother, be thine what thou hast!
Nanso Esau buaa no se, “Me nua, mewɔ saa mmoa yi bebree ma ɛboro so. Enti fa nea wode rebrɛ me yi ka wo de ho.”
10 Then said Jacob, Nay, I pray thee, if, I pray thee, I have found favour in thine eyes, then thou wilt take my present at my hand, —For on this account, hath my seeing thy face been like seeing the face of God in that thou wast well-pleased with me.
Yakob kae se, “Dabi, sɛ woagye me fɛw so de a, mesrɛ wo, gye akyɛde a mede rebrɛ wo yi. Nokware ni, esiane sɛ wugyee me ɔdɔ so nti, mihuu wʼanim no, na ayɛ me sɛnea mahu Onyankopɔn anim.
11 Take, I pray thee my blessing which hath been brought in to thee, because God hath shewed me favour and because I have everything. So he was urgent with him and he took it.
Mesrɛ wo, gye mʼakyɛde a mede rebrɛ wo yi, efisɛ Awurade adom me ama mayɛ ɔdefo.” Esiane sɛ Yakob kɔɔ so srɛɛ no ara sɛ onnye nʼakyɛde no nti, Esau gyei.
12 Then he said, Let us break up and go, and let me go on before thee.
Na Esau kae se, “Ma yɛnkɔ. Yebedi mo anim ne mo akɔ.”
13 And he said unto him, My lord, is taking note, that, the children are tender, —and the flocks and the herds are giving suck with me, —and, should I overdrive them a single day, then would all the flocks die.
Nanso Yakob buaa no se, “Me wura ankasa nim sɛ mmofra no bi susua. Ɛsɛ sɛ mehwɛ anantwi ne nguan ne mmoa a wɔawowo no nso ka wɔn brɛoo. Sɛ meka wɔn so da koro pɛ mpo a, wɔn nyinaa bewuwu.
14 Let my lord, I pray thee pass over before his servant, and let, me, lead on in my own easy way, at the pace of the cattle that are before me, and at the pace of the children, until that I come in unto my lord, towards Seir.
Enti me wura, di yɛn kan na yɛne nyɛmmoa no bedi wʼakyi nkakrankakra abɛto wo wɔ Seir.”
15 Then said Esau: Let me leave, I pray thee, along with thee, some of the people who are with me! And he said—Why so? let me find favour in the eyes of my lord!
Enti Esau kae se, “Ɛno de, ma minnyaw me mmarima no bi mma wo.” Yakob kae se, “Adɛn na woyɛ saa? Me wura, ma minya wʼanim anuonyam kɛkɛ.”
16 So Esau returned, that day, to his journey towards Mount Seir.
Enti da no ara, Esau san nʼakyi kɔɔ Seir.
17 But, Jacob, brake up towards Succoth, and built for himself a house, for his cattle, made he places of shelter, for which cause, the name of the place was called, Succoth.
Nanso Yakob de, ɔkɔɔ Sukot kosisii ne ntamadan, pɛɛ baabi a ne mmoa no nso bɛda, de hɔ yɛɛ nʼatenae. Ɛno nti na wɔfrɛ saa beae hɔ Sukot, a ne nkyerɛase ne Asese no.
18 And Jacob came in peace to the city of Shechem, which is in the land of Canaan, —when he came in from Padan-aram, —and he encamped before the city.
Yakob fii Paddan-Aram no, okoduu Sekem kurow a ɛwɔ Kanaan asase so no mu asomdwoe mu.
19 And he bought the portion of the field where he had spread out his tent, at the hand of the sons of Hamor, father of Shechem, —for a hundred kesitahs.
Yakob tɔɔ asase a ɔtenaa so no dwetɛ mpɔw ɔha fii Sekem agya Hamormma nkyɛn.
20 And he set up there an altar, —and called it, El-elohe-Israel.
Wosii afɔremuka wɔ hɔ, too saa afɔremuka no din El-Elohe-Israel, a ne nkyerɛase ne Onyankopɔn, Israel Nyankopɔn Afɔremuka.
