Genesis 33
1 And Jacob lifteth up his eyes, and looketh, and lo, Esau is coming, and with him four hundred men; and he divideth the children unto Leah, and unto Rachel, and unto the two maid-servants;
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 he setteth the maid-servants and their children first, and Leah and her children behind, and Rachel and Joseph last.
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 And he himself passed over before them, and boweth himself to the earth seven times, until his drawing nigh unto his brother,
Yakob de, odii wɔn anim. Ɔreyɛ abɛn ne nua Esau no, ɔbɔɔ ne mu ase mpɛn ason.
4 and Esau runneth to meet him, and embraceth him, and falleth on his neck, and kisseth him, and they weep;
Esau tuu mmirika kohyiaa Yakob, yɛɛ no atuu. Ɔbam Yakob, few nʼano. Na wɔn baanu nyinaa sui.
5 and he lifteth up his eyes, and seeth the women and the children, and saith, 'What [are] these to thee?' And he saith, 'The children with whom 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 And the maid-servants draw nigh, they and their children, and bow themselves;
Na Yakob asomfo ne wɔn mma twiw bɛn Esau bɛkotow no.
7 and Leah also draweth nigh, and her children, and they bow themselves; and afterwards Joseph hath drawn nigh with Rachel, and they bow themselves.
Saa ara na Lea ne ne mma nso bɛkotow no. Na Yosef ne ne na Rahel nso ba bɛkotow no.
8 And he saith, 'What to thee [is] all this camp which I have met?' and he saith, 'To find grace 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 And Esau saith, 'I have abundance, my brother, let it be to thyself that which 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 And Jacob saith, 'Nay, I pray thee, if, I pray thee, I have found grace in thine eyes, then thou hast received my present from my hand, because that I have seen thy face, as the seeing of the face of God, and thou art 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 receive, I pray thee, my blessing, which is brought to thee, because God hath favoured me, and because I have all [things];' and he presseth on him, and he receiveth,
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 and saith, 'Let us journey and go on, and I go on before thee.'
Na Esau kae se, “Ma yɛnkɔ. Yebedi mo anim ne mo akɔ.”
13 And he saith unto him, 'My lord knoweth that the children [are] tender, and the suckling flock and the herd [are] with me; when they have beaten them one day, then hath all the flock died.
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 I — I lead on gently, according to the foot of the work which [is] before me, and to the foot of the children, until that I come unto my lord, to Seir.'
Enti me wura, di yɛn kan na yɛne nyɛmmoa no bedi wʼakyi nkakrankakra abɛto wo wɔ Seir.”
15 And Esau saith, 'Let me, I pray thee, place with thee some of the people who [are] with me;' and he said, 'Why [is] this? I find grace 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 And turn back on that day doth Esau on his way to Seir;
Enti da no ara, Esau san nʼakyi kɔɔ Seir.
17 and Jacob hath journeyed to Succoth, and buildeth to himself a house, and for his cattle hath made booths, therefore hath he called the name of the place 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 cometh in to Shalem, a city of Shechem, which [is] in the land of Canaan, in his coming from Padan-Aram, and encampeth before the city,
Yakob fii Paddan-Aram no, okoduu Sekem kurow a ɛwɔ Kanaan asase so no mu asomdwoe mu.
19 and he buyeth the portion of the field where he hath stretched out his tent, from the hand of the sons of Hamor, father of Shechem, for a hundred kesitah;
Yakob tɔɔ asase a ɔtenaa so no dwetɛ mpɔw ɔha fii Sekem agya Hamormma nkyɛn.
20 and he setteth up there an altar, and proclaimeth at it God — the God of Israel.
Wosii afɔremuka wɔ hɔ, too saa afɔremuka no din El-Elohe-Israel, a ne nkyerɛase ne Onyankopɔn, Israel Nyankopɔn Afɔremuka.
