Kinohi 33
1 NANA aku la na maka o Iakoba, ike aku la, aia hoi, ua hiki mai o Esau me na haneri kanaka eha. A puunaue aku la ia i na kamalii ia Lea, a ia Rahela, a i na kauwawahine elua.
Now Jacob looked up and saw Esau coming toward him with four hundred men. So he divided the children among Leah, Rachel, and the two maidservants.
2 Hoonoho aku la ia i na kauwawahine me na keiki a laua mamua, ia Lea hoi me kana mau keiki mahope iho, a ia Rahela me Iosepa mahope loa.
He put the maidservants and their children in front, Leah and her children next, and Rachel and Joseph at the rear.
3 Hele e aku la ia mamua o lakou; kulou pahiku iho la ia ma ka honua, a hiki aku la ia i kona kaikuaana.
But Jacob himself went on ahead and bowed to the ground seven times as he approached his brother.
4 Holo mai la o Esau e halawai me ia, apo mai la ia ia, kau iho la ma kona a-i, a honi iho la ia ia: a uwe iho la laua.
Esau, however, ran to him and embraced him, threw his arms around his neck, and kissed him. And they both wept.
5 Alawa ae la kona mau maka, ike ae i na wahine a me na kamalii; ninau mai la ia, Owai lakou nei me oe? I aku la kela, O lakou no na keiki a ke Akua i haawi lokomaikai mai ai i kau kauwa.
When Esau looked up and saw the women and children, he asked, “Who are these with you?” Jacob answered, “These are the children God has graciously given your servant.”
6 Alaila neenee mai la na kauwawahine, o laua me na keiki a laua, a kulou iho la lakou.
Then the maidservants and their children approached and bowed down.
7 Neenee mai la hoi o Lea me kana mau keiki, a kulou iho la lakou: a mahope iho, neenee mai la o Iosepa me Rahela, a kulou iho la laua.
Leah and her children also approached and bowed down, and then Joseph and Rachel approached and bowed down.
8 Ninau mai la kela, Heaha ia oe kela poe nui a pau i halawai me au? I aku la oia, He mea ia e loaa mai ai ke aloha o kuu haku.
“What do you mean by sending this whole company to meet me?” asked Esau. “To find favor in your sight, my lord,” Jacob answered.
9 I mai la kela, He nui no ka'u, e kuu kaikaina, ia oe no kau mea.
“I already have plenty, my brother,” Esau replied. “Keep what belongs to you.”
10 I aku la o Iakoba, Aole, ke noi aku nei au ia oe, ina i loaa ia'u ke alohaia imua on, e lawe oe i ka'u makana ma ko'u lima: no ka mea, ua ike iho nei au i kou maka, e like me kuu ike ana i ka maka o ke Akua, a ua oluolu mai oe ia'u.
But Jacob insisted, “No, please! If I have found favor in your sight, then receive this gift from my hand. For indeed, I have seen your face, and it is like seeing the face of God, since you have received me favorably.
11 Ke noi aku nei au ia oe, e lawe oe i ka'u hoomaikai ana i haawiia ku nau; no ka mea, ua lokomaikai mai ke Akua ia'u, a no ka mea, ua lako hoi au. Koi aku la oia ia ia, a lawe hoi kela.
Please accept my gift that was brought to you, because God has been gracious to me and I have all I need.” So Jacob pressed him until he accepted.
12 I mai la kela, e neenee aku kakou i ko kakou hele ana, a e hele hoi au imua ou.
Then Esau said, “Let us be on our way, and I will go ahead of you.”
13 I aku la oia ia ia, Ua ike no kuu haku, he palupalu na kamalii, a me au no na hipa hapai a me na bipi hapai: ina e hoolalelaleia lakou i ka la hookahi, e pau ka ohana holoholona i ka make.
But Jacob replied, “My lord knows that the children are frail, and I must care for sheep and cattle that are nursing their young. If they are driven hard for even a day, all the animals will die.
14 Ke noi aku nei au ia oe, e hele e aku kuu haku mamua o kana kauwa ma kela kapa; a na'u no e hele malie aku, e like me ka hiki ana o na holoholona a me na kamalii ke hele imua o'u, a hiki aku au i kuu haku ma Seira.
Please let my lord go ahead of his servant. I will continue on slowly, at a comfortable pace for the livestock and children, until I come to my lord at Seir.”
15 I mai la o Esau, E pono paha na'u e waiho me oe i kekahi poe kanaka o'u. I aku la ia, No ke aha hoi ia? ina e loaa ia'u ke alohaia imua o kuu haku.
“Let me leave some of my people with you,” Esau said. But Jacob replied, “Why do that? Let me find favor in the sight of my lord.”
16 A hoi hou aku la o Esau ia la i kona hele ana i Seira.
So that day Esau started on his way back to Seir,
17 Hele aku la o Iakoba i Sukota, a kukulu ia i hale nona, a hana iho la i hale kamala no kona poe holoholona: nolaila, i kapaia'i ka inoa o ia wahi, o i Sukota.
but Jacob went on to Succoth, where he built a house for himself and shelters for his livestock; that is why the place was called Succoth.
18 Hele pomaikai aku la o Iakoba i kekahi kulanakauhale o Sekema, ma ka aina o Kanaana ia ia i hoi mai ai mai Padanarama mai, a kukulu iho la ia i kona halelewa imua o ua kulanakauhale la.
After Jacob had come from Paddan-aram, he arrived safely at the city of Shechem in the land of Canaan, and he camped just outside the city.
19 Kuai aku la ia i kauwahi o ka aina, kahi ana i kukulu ai i kona halelewa, ma ka lima o na keiki a Hamora a ka makuakane o Sekema, i na apana kala he haneri.
And the plot of ground where he pitched his tent, he purchased from the sons of Hamor, Shechem’s father, for a hundred pieces of silver.
20 Malaila oia i hana'i i kuahu, a kapa iho la i kona inoa, o Elelohe-Iseraela.
There he set up an altar and called it El-Elohe-Israel.
