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.
Jacob saw Esau in the distance, coming towards him with four hundred men. So he split up the children between Leah, Rachel and the two personal maids.
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 placed the two personal maids with their children first, then Leah and her children, and Rachel and Joseph last.
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.
Then Jacob went ahead of them and bowed low to the ground seven times before approaching 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 ran over to him and hugged him. He put his arms around his neck and kissed him. The two of them 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.
Then Esau looked around at the women and children. “Who are these people with you?” he asked. “They are the children God graciously gave your servant,” Jacob replied.
6 Alaila neenee mai la na kauwawahine, o laua me na keiki a laua, a kulou iho la lakou.
The personal maids and their children came over 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.
Then Leah and her children came over and bowed down. Lastly Joseph and Rachel came over 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 were all the livestock for that I met on the way?” Esau asked. “They're a gift to you my lord so you'd treat me well,” Jacob answered.
9 I mai la kela, He nui no ka'u, e kuu kaikaina, ia oe no kau mea.
“I have more than enough, my brother! You keep what you have,” said Esau.
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.
“No, please!” Jacob insisted. “If you're happy with me, then please accept the gift I'm giving you. Now I've seen your face again it's like seeing the face of God, and you have welcomed me so kindly!
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 take the gift I've brought to you because God has treated me so well and I have so much.” So Esau accepted it.
12 I mai la kela, e neenee aku kakou i ko kakou hele ana, a e hele hoi au imua ou.
“Let's get on our way,” Esau said. “I'll 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.
“My lord can see that the children are weak,” Jacob responded. “Also, the goats, sheep, and cattle are nursing their young, and if I push them too hard, they'll all 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.
You go on, my lord, and your servant will come along slowly, walking with the children, and I'll meet you 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.
“Fine, but let me leave some of my men with you,” said Esau. “You're very kind, but there's no need to do that,” Jacob replied.
16 A hoi hou aku la o Esau ia la i kona hele ana i Seira.
So Esau started on his way back to Seir that day.
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 headed to Succoth, where he built himself a house and shelters for the livestock. That's why the place is 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.
Later Jacob continued his journey from Paddan-aram. He arrived safely at Shechem in the country of Canaan where he camped outside the town.
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.
He bought the plot of ground where he was camping from the sons of Hamor, the founder of Shechem, for 100 pieces of money.
20 Malaila oia i hana'i i kuahu, a kapa iho la i kona inoa, o Elelohe-Iseraela.
He built an altar there and called it El-Elohe-Israel.
