30 Esi Isak yra Yakob vɔ teti, eye Yakob do go le fofoa ƒe xɔ me la, Esau gbɔ tso adegbea.
As soone as Isaac had made an end of blessig Iacob and Iacob was scace gone out fro the preasence of Isaac his father: then came Esau his brother fro his huntynge:
31 Eya hã ɖa nu si fofoa lɔ̃a ɖuɖu la, eye wòtsɔe yi nɛ. Esau gblɔ be, “Fofonye, metsɔ nuɖuɖu la vɛ na wò. Fɔ nàɖu nua, eye nàyram!”

Tha his father Isaac sayde vnto him. Who art thou? he answered I am thy eldest sonne Esau.
33 Isak de asi ƒoƒo me kpakpakpa. Egblɔ be, “Ekema ame kae tsɔ nuɖuɖu vɛ nam fifi laa meɖu, eye meyrae kple yayra si womagate ŋu aɖe ɖa o la?”
And Isaac was greatly astoyned out of mesure and sayde: Where is he then that hath huted venyson and broughte it me and I haue eaten of all before thou camest and haue blessed him ad he shall be blessed styll.
34 Esau de asi avifafa me hehehe. Egblɔ be, “Oo fofonye, yram! Yra nye hã!”
Whe Esau herde the wordes of his father he cryed out greatly and bitterly aboue mesure and sayde vnto his father: blesse me also my father.
35 Isak ɖo eŋu be, “Nɔviwò va flum, eye wòxɔ wò yayra.”
And he sayde thy brother came with subtilte ad hath take awaye thy blessynge.
36 Esau gblɔ kple vevesese be, “Nu sia tututu tae woyɔe be Yakob si gɔmee nye ‘Amebala’ ɖo. Exɔ nye ŋgɔgbevinyenye le asinye, eye wògafi nye yayra hã. Oo, fofonye, yayra aɖeke megale asiwò nànam oa?”
Than sayde he: He maye well be called Iacob for he hath vndermyned me now. ij. tymes fyrst he toke awaye my byrthrighte: and se now hath he taken awaye my blessynge also. And he sayde hast thou kepte neuer a blessynge for me?
37 Isak ɖo eŋu gblɔ be, “Mewɔe wòzu aƒetɔ ɖe dziwò, metsɔ nɔviawo katã wɔ eƒe dɔlawoe, eye metsɔ bli kple wain hã nɛ. Nu kae gali matsɔ ana wò.”
Isaac answered and sayde vnto Esau: beholde I haue made him thi LORde and all his mothers childern haue I made his seruauntes. Moreouer wyth corne ad wyne haue I stablesshed him what ca I do vnto the now my sonne?
38 Esau xɔ nya la dzi gblɔ na fofoa be, “Yayra aɖeke mesusɔ nàtsɔ nam oa? Oo, fofonye yra nye hã!” Esau gade asi avifafa me, ke fofoa meke nu o.
And Esau sayde vnto his father? hast thou but yt one blessynge my father? blesse me also my father: so lyfted vp Esau his voyce and wepte
39 Mlɔeba la, Isak gblɔ na Esau be, “Manɔ anyigba wɔnuku aɖeke dzi o, eye zãmu hã madza na wò akpɔ o.
Tha Isaac his father answered and sayde vnto himBeholde thy dwellynge place shall haue of the fatnesse of the erth and of the dewe of heauen fro aboue.
40 Wò yi anyi wò eye àsubɔ nɔviwò va se ɖe ɣeyiɣi aɖe, ke emegbe la, àva do le ete, eye nàkpɔ ablɔɖe.”
And wyth thy swerde shalt thou lyue and shalt be thy brothers seruaunte But the tyme will come when thou shalt gett the mastrye and lowse his yocke from of thy necke.
41 Ale Esau lé fu nɔvia Yakob ɖe eƒe yayra si fofoa tsɔ nɛ la ta. Egblɔ na eɖokui be, “Esusɔ vie fofonye naku, ekema mawu Yakob.”
And Esau hated Iacob because of the blessynge yt his father blessed him with all and sayde in his harte: The dayes of my fathers sorowe are at hade for I will sley my brother Iacob.
42 Ke ame aɖe va nya nu tso Esau ƒe tameɖoɖo ŋu, eye wòɖo afɔ afɔta na Rebeka. Eya ta Rebeka yɔ Yakob, eye wògblɔ nɛ be, “Esau le nugbe ɖom ɖe wò agbe ŋuti.”
And these wordes of Esau hir eldest sonne were told to Rebecca. And she sente ad called Iacob hir yongest sonne and sayde vnto hi: beholde thy brother Esau threatneth to kyll the:
43 Rebeka yi edzi be, “Nu si nàwɔ fifia lae nye be nàsi ayi nyruiwò Laban gbɔ le Haran.
Now therfore my sone heare my voyce make the redie and flee to Laba my brother at Haran
44 Nɔ afi ma va se ɖe esime nɔviwò ƒe dɔmedzoe nu nafa,
And tarie with him a while vntill thy brothers fearsnes be swaged and
45 eye wòaŋlɔ nu si nèwɔ ɖe eŋu la be. Ekema maɖo du ɖe wò, elabena manyo be mi ame evea siaa miabu ɖem gbe ɖeka o.”
vntill thy brothers wrath turne away from the and he forgett that which thou hast done to him. Tha will I sende and fett the awaye from thence. Why shulde I lose you both in one daye.
46 Emegbe la, Rebeka gblɔ na Isak be, “Hiti ɖetugbiwo ƒe nya tim. Malɔ̃ be maku tsɔ wu be makpɔ Yakob wòaɖe wo dometɔ ɖeka.”
And Rebecca spake to Isaac: I am wery of my life for feare of the doughters of Heth. Yf Iacob take a wife of the doughters of Heth soch one as these are or of the doughters of the lande what lust shulde I haue to lyue.
