Mose 1 32
1 Yakob kple eƒe amewo gadze mɔ, eye mawudɔlawo va do goe.
Yakob nso toaa nʼakwantu no so. Onyankopɔn abɔfo behyiaa no.
2 Esi Yakob kpɔ wo la, edo ɣli be, “Mawu ƒe asaɖae nye esia!” Eya ta ena ŋkɔ teƒea be Mahanaim.
Yakob huu wɔn no, ɔkae se, “Ɛha yɛ Onyankopɔn fi!” Enti ɔtoo saa beae hɔ din “Mahanaim,” a ne nkyerɛase ne Onyankopɔn asase.
3 Yakob dɔ amewo ɖe foa Esau gbɔ le Edom le Seirnyigba dzi.
Yakob somaa abɔfo dii nʼanim kɔɔ ne nua Esau nkyɛn wɔ Seir a ɛwɔ Edom asase so.
4 Egblɔ na wo bena, “Ale miagblɔ na nye aƒetɔ Esau enye si: ‘Nye Wò dɔla Yakob, meyi ɖanɔ mía nyrui, Laban gbɔ va se ɖe egbe.
Nkra a ɔde maa wɔn ni: “Monka nkyerɛ me wura Esau se, ‘Wʼakoa Yakob se, yɛn wɔfa Laban nkyɛn na makɔtena sɛ ɔhɔho ara de besi nnɛ yi.
5 Fifia nyiwo, tedziwo, alẽwo kple subɔla geɖewo, ŋutsuwo kple nyɔnuwo siaa le asinye. Mele ame siawo ɖom ɖa be woana nyanya wò nye aƒetɔ be megbɔna, eye mele mɔ kpɔm be àxɔ mí nɔvitɔe.’”
Nnɛ de, mewɔ anantwi ne mfurum, nguan ne mmirekyi, nkoa ne mfenaa bebree. Masoma mʼabɔfo yi aba wo, me wura nkyɛn, sɛ wɔmmɛka nkyerɛ wo se, mereba. Mewɔ anidaso nso sɛ, menya wʼanim anuonyam ama woagye me fɛw so.’”
6 Ame dɔdɔawo trɔ tso Esau gbɔ va gblɔ na Yakob be Esau gbɔna Yakob kpe ge kple ame alafa ene!
Asomafo no san baa Yakob nkyɛn no, wɔbɛka kyerɛɛ no se, “Yɛkɔɔ wo nua Esau nkyɛn kɔkaa wo nkra no kyerɛɛ no, na ose ɔreba abehyia wo, na mmarima ahannan na wɔka ne ho reba.”
7 Vɔvɔ̃ ɖo Yakob. Ema eƒe amewo kple lãhawo kpakple kposɔwo ɖe akpa eve,
Yakob de ehu ne awerɛhow kyekyɛɛ nnipa a ɔne wɔn nam no ne mmoa no mu akuw abien.
8 elabena egblɔ be, “Ne Esau adze hatsotso ɖeka dzi la, ɖewohĩ hatsotso evelia me tɔwo ate ŋu asi.”
Ɔkaa wɔ ne tirim se, “Sɛ ɛba sɛ Esau ne ne dɔm no ba bɛtow hyɛ kuw baako so a, kuw a ɛto so abien no betumi aguan.”
9 Tete Yakob do gbe ɖa be “O, tɔgbuinye Abraham kple fofonye Isak ƒe Mawu, O, Yehowa, wò ame si gblɔ nam be matrɔ va nye ƒometɔwo ƒe anyigba dzi, eye nèdo ŋugbe be yeawɔ nyui nam la,
Na Yakob bɔɔ Awurade mpae se, “Ao, Awurade Nyankopɔn a mʼagya Abraham ne mʼagya Isak som wo, Awurade a woka kyerɛɛ me se, ‘San kɔ wʼasase so ne wʼabusua mu, na mɛma woayɛ ɔdefo.’
10 nyemedze na wò amenuveve si nèɖena fiaam edziedzi abe ale si nèdo ŋugbe nam ene o, elabena esi metso Yɔdan la, naneke menɔ asinye wu atizɔti ɖeka o! Ke azɔ la, mezu aʋakɔ eve!

12 Ke èdo ŋugbe be yeawɔ nyui nam, eye yeana nye dzidzimeviwo nasɔ gbɔ abe ƒutake ene, eye womate ŋu axlẽ wo o.”
Nanso wo na woahyɛ me bɔ se, ‘Nokware mu, mɛma woanya wo ho, na mama wʼase afɛe ayɛ sɛ mpoano nwea a wontumi nkan.’”
13 Etsi afi ma dɔ, eye wòtia nu siwo nɔ esi la ƒe ɖe na foa Esau:
Saa da no, ɔdaa hɔ. Na oyii nʼagyapade no bi sɛ akyɛde a ɔde bɛma ne nua Esau.
14 gbɔ̃nɔ alafa eve kple gbɔ̃tsu blaeve, alẽnɔ alafa eve kple agbo blaeve,

Yomabere aduasa ne wɔn mma, anantwibere aduanan, anantwinini du, mfurummmere aduonu, mfurumnini du.
16 Egblɔ na eƒe subɔlawo be woadze ŋgɔ kple lãha siawo, lãha ɖe sia ɖe nanɔ eɖokui si, eye dometsotso nanɔ wo dome.
Ɔkyekyɛɛ mmoa no mu akuwakuw, de maa nʼasomfo a kuw baako biara hyɛ ɔsomfo baako nsa. Ɔka kyerɛɛ nʼasomfo no se, “Munni mʼanim nkɔ, na mmom, momma akwan nneda mmoa akuwakuw no ntam.”
17 Egblɔ na ame siwo le lãha gbãtɔ kplɔm la be ne wodo go Esau, eye wòbia wo be, “Afi ka yim miele? Ame ka ƒe subɔlawo mienye? Ame ka ƒe lãwoe nye esiawo?” la,
Yakob san ka kyerɛɛ nʼasomfo a wodi kan no se, “Sɛ me nua Esau hyia mo, na obisa mo se, ‘Hena asomfo ne mo, mufi he na morekɔ he na hena mmoa na mode wɔn nam yi a?’
18 woaɖo eŋu be, “Wò subɔla, Yakob ƒe lãwoe. Wonye nunana na eƒe aƒetɔ Esau! Ele mía yome gbɔna!”
Monka nkyerɛ no se, ‘Mmoa no yɛ wʼakoa Yakob de. Ne nyinaa yɛ akyɛde a ɔde rebrɛ ne wura Esau, na nʼankasa di akyi reba.’”
19 Yakob gblɔ nya mawo ke na lãkplɔla bubuawo hã be woagblɔ na Esau.
Saa ara nso na Yakob ka kyerɛɛ nʼasomfo a wɔto so abien, abiɛsa ne wɔn a wodidi so a wɔde mmoa no rekɔ no se, “Sɛ muhyia Esau a, monka saa asɛm koro no ara nkyerɛ no. Monka nka ho se,
20 Yakob ƒe tameɖoɖoe nye be yeakpata Esau kple nunanawo hafi yeado goe ŋkume kple ŋkume! Yakob kpɔ mɔ be, “Ɖewohĩ axɔ mí nyuie.”
‘Wʼakoa Yakob ankasa di yɛn akyi reba.’” Efisɛ na Yakob ayɛ nʼadwene sɛ, “Mede akyɛde ahorow a mede asoma adi kan yi bɛpata no, na sɛ akyiri yi ohu me a, wagye me ato mu.”
21 Ale wòɖo nunanawo ɖa do ŋgɔ, eye Yakob gatsi asaɖa me dɔ.
Enti wɔde Yakob akyɛde ahorow no dii kan kɔe. Na ɔno ankasa de, ɔdaa nʼatenae hɔ anadwo no.
22 Le zã me la, Yakob fɔ, eye wòkplɔ srɔ̃a eveawo, eƒe kosi eveawo kple via wuiɖekɛawo, eye wotso Yɔdan tɔsisi la le tɔtsoƒe si ŋkɔe nye Yabok.
Anadwo no ara, Yakob sɔre faa ne yerenom baanu ne ne mfenaa baanu no ne ne mma dubaako no, de wɔn twaa Asubɔnten Yordan wɔ Yabok asutwabea hɔ.
23 Ale wòkplɔ wo tso tɔ lae kple eƒe nunɔamesiwo katã.
Ɔde wɔn twaa asubɔnten no wiee no, ɔsan bɛfaa nʼagyapade a aka nyinaa de twaa asu no.
24 Yakob trɔ va asaɖa la me, eye eya ɖeka nɔ afi ma. Ŋutsu aɖe te kame kplii va se ɖe fɔŋli.
Enti ɛkaa Yakob nko ara wɔ nʼatenae hɔ. Anadwo no, obi ne no bɛtentamee ara kosii adekyee wɛɛ.
25 Esi ŋutsu la kpɔ be yemate ŋu aɖu Yakob dzi o la, etɔ asi Yakob ƒe aligo, eye ƒuawo gli le enu.
Bere a ɔbarima a ɔne no tentamee no huu sɛ ɔrentumi nni Yakob so no, ɔbɔɔ Yakob dwonku ma ehuanee.
26 Tete ŋutsu la gblɔ nɛ be, “Ɖe asi le ŋunye mayi, elabena ŋu le kekem.” Ke Yakob ɖo eŋu be, “Nyemele asi ɖe ge le ŋuwò o, negbe ɖeko nàyram hafi.”
Na ɔbarima no ka kyerɛɛ Yakob se, “Ade akye nti, gyaa me ma menkɔ.” Nanso Yakob buaa no se, “Sɛ woanhyira me a, meremma wo nkɔ.”
27 Ŋutsu la biae be, “Ŋkɔwò ɖe?” Eɖo eŋu be, “Yakob.”
Ɔbarima no bisaa Yakob se, “Wo din de dɛn?” Obuae se, “Me din de Yakob.”
28 Ŋutsu la gblɔ nɛ be, “Womagayɔ wò azɔ nenema o! Woayɔ wò azɔ be Israel, ame si te kame kple Mawu. Esi nète kame kple Mawu ta la, àɖu amewo dzi.”
Ɔbarima no kae se, “Efi nnɛ, wɔremfrɛ wo Yakob bio, na mmom wɔbɛfrɛ wo Israel. Efisɛ wo ne Onyankopɔn ne nipa atentam, na woadi nkonim.”
29 Yakob biae be, “Wò hã ŋkɔwò ɖe?” Ŋutsu la ɖo eŋu be, “Nu ka ta nèbia ŋkɔnye ta ɖo.” Eye wòyrae le afi ma.
Yakob bisae se, “Mesrɛ wo, wɔfrɛ wo dɛn?” Ɔbarima no nso bisaa no se, “Adɛn nti na worebisa me din?” Na ohyiraa Yakob wɔ hɔ.
30 Yakob na ŋkɔ teƒea be “Peniel” si gɔmee nye “Mawu ƒe ŋkume,” elabena egblɔ be, “Mekpɔ Mawu ŋkume kple ŋkume, gake metsi agbe.”
Ɛmaa Yakob too beae hɔ din Peniel, a ne nkyerɛase ne “Onyankopɔn Anim.” Na ɔkae se, “Mahu Onyankopɔn anikann, nanso meda so te nkwa mu.”
31 Esi wògadze mɔ ko la, ɣe dze. Le eƒe aligoƒu si gli ta la, ede asi tɔtɔ me.
Yakob refi Penuel no na owia agyina. Esiane ne dwonku a na ahuan no nti, na ɔka ne nan mu.
32 Esia ta Israelviwo meɖua ka titri si to lãwo ƒe aligo dzi o, elabena wotɔ asi ka si le Yakob ƒe aligokpeƒe la dzi.
Ɛno nti na ebesi nnɛ yi, Israelfo nwe aboa dwonku koraa sɛ nkae ade no; efisɛ saa ntin kɛse a ɛwɔ Yakob dwonku no na ɔbarima a ɔne no tentamee no bɔe, maa dwonku no huanee no.
