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 pagyaa nʼani hunuu sɛ Esau ne ne mmarima ahanan a wɔka no ho firi akyirikyiri reba. Enti, ɔkyekyɛɛ ne mma no mu maa Lea, Rahel ne nʼasomfoɔ 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 asomfoɔ no ne wɔn mma dii ɛkan. Lea ne ne mma nso dii hɔ. Ɛnna Rahel ne ne ba Yosef nso dii akyire.
3 And he himself passed over before them, and boweth himself to the earth seven times, until his drawing nigh unto his brother,
Yakob deɛ, ɔdii wɔn anim. Ɔreyɛ abɛn ne nua Esau no, ɔbɔɔ ne mu ase mprɛnson.
4 and Esau runneth to meet him, and embraceth him, and falleth on his neck, and kisseth him, and they weep;
Esau tuu mmirika kɔhyiaa Yakob, yɛɛ no atuu. Ɔbam Yakob, fee nʼano. Na wɔn baanu nyinaa suiɛ.
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.'
Afei, Esau maa nʼani so hunuu mmaa no ne mmɔfra no. Ɔbisaa Yakob sɛ, “Yeinom yɛ ɛhefoɔ?” Ɔbuaa sɛ, “Wɔyɛ mma a Onyankopɔn de wɔn adom me a meyɛ wʼakoa.”
6 And the maid-servants draw nigh, they and their children, and bow themselves;
Afei, Yakob asomfoɔ ne wɔn mma twe bɛn Esau bɛkotoo 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 bɛkotoo no. Afei, Yosef ne ne maame Rahel nso ba bɛkotoo 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 bisaa sɛ, “Nnwan ne anantwie ne mmoa bebrebe a wɔsa so reba yi nso, aseɛ ne sɛn?” Yakob buaa sɛ, “Me wura, ɛyɛ akyɛdeɛ a mede rebrɛ wo, na manya wʼanim animuonyam.”
9 And Esau saith, 'I have abundance, my brother, let it be to thyself that which thou hast.'
Nanso, Esau sere buaa no sɛ, “Me nua, mewɔ saa mmoa yi bebree ma ɛboro so. Enti, fa deɛ wode rebrɛ me yi ka wo deɛ 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 kaa sɛ, “Dabi, sɛ woagye me fɛ so deɛ a, mesrɛ wo, gye akyɛdeɛ a mede rebrɛ wo yi. Nokorɛ ni, ɛsiane sɛ wogyee me ɔdɔ so enti, mehunuu wʼanim no, na ayɛ me sɛdeɛ mahunu 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 mʼakyɛdeɛ a mede rebrɛ wo yi, ɛfiri sɛ, Awurade adom me ama mayɛ ɔdefoɔ.” Esiane sɛ Yakob kɔɔ so srɛɛ no ara sɛ ɔnnye nʼakyɛdeɛ no enti, Esau gyeeɛ.
12 and saith, 'Let us journey and go on, and I go on before thee.'
Afei, Esau kaa sɛ, “Ma yɛnkɔ. Yɛbɛdi 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 sɛ, “Me wura ankasa nim sɛ, mmɔfra no bi susua. Ɛsɛ sɛ mehwɛ anantwie ne nnwan ne mmoa a wɔawowo no nso ka wɔn so brɛoo. Sɛ meka wɔn so den ɛda koro pɛ mpo a, wɔn nyinaa bɛwuwu.
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 ɛkan na yɛne nyɛmmoa no bɛdi 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 kaa sɛ, “Anyɛ bi koraa no, ma mennya me mmarima na wɔnni wʼanim, mmɔ wo ho ban.” Yakob kaa sɛ, “Ɛho nhia sɛ ɛsɛ sɛ woyɛ me saa adɔeɛ no.”
16 And turn back on that day doth Esau on his way to Seir;
Enti, ɛda no ara, Esau sane nʼakyiri 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 deɛ, ɔkɔɔ Sukot kɔsisii ne ntomadan, pɛɛ baabi a ne mmoa no nso bɛda, de hɔ yɛɛ nʼatenaeɛ. Ɛno enti na wɔfrɛ saa beaeɛ hɔ Sukot, a asekyerɛ 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 firii Paddan-Aram no, ɔkɔduruu Sekem kuro a ɛwɔ Kanaan asase so asomdwoeɛ 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 nnwetɛ mpɔ ɔha firii Sekem agya Hamor mma nkyɛn.
20 and he setteth up there an altar, and proclaimeth at it God — the God of Israel.
Wɔsii afɔrebukyia wɔ hɔ, too saa afɔrebukyia no edin El-Elohe-Israel, a asekyerɛ ne Onyankopɔn, Israel Onyankopɔn Afɔrebukyia.
