Kenehi 33
1 A ka maranga ake nga kanohi o Hakopa, na ka titiro atu ia, a ko Ehau e haere mai ana, ratou ko nga tangata e wha rau. Na ka wehea e ia nga tamariki ki a Rea, ki a Rahera, ki nga pononga wahine hoki tokorua.
And Jacob lifted up his eyes, and beheld, and lo! Esau his brother coming, and four hundred men with him; and Jacob divided the children to Lea and to Rachel, and the two handmaidens.
2 I maka ano e ia nga pononga wahine me a raua tamariki ki mua, ko Rea ratou ko ana tamariki ki muri mai, a ko Rahera raua ko Hohepa ki muri rawa.
And he put the two handmaidens and their children with the first, and Lea and her children behind, and Rachel and Joseph last.
3 Na ko ia i haere ki mua i a ratou, a e whitu ona pikonga ki te whenua, a whakatata noa ia ki tona tuakana.
But he advanced himself before them, and did reverence to the ground seven times, until he drew near to his brother.
4 Na ka rere a Ehau ki te whakatau i a ia, a ka awhi i a ia, ka hinga hoki ki runga ki tona kaki, ka kihi i a ia: na ka tangi raua.
And Esau ran on to meet him, and embraced him, and fell on his neck, and kissed him; and they both wept.
5 Na ka maranga ona kanohi, ka kite ia i nga wahine, ratou ko nga tamariki; a ka mea, Ko wai enei i a koe nei? A ka mea ia, Ko nga tamariki, ko nga ohaohatanga a te Atua ki tau pononga.
And Esau looked up and saw the women and the children, and said, What are these to thee? And he said, The children with which God has mercifully blessed thy servant.
6 Na ka whakatata nga pononga wahine, raua ko a raua tamariki, a ka piko iho.
And the maid-servants and their children drew near and did reverence.
7 Na ka whakatata hoki a Rea, ratou ko ana tamariki, a ka piko iho: a muri iho ka whakatata a Hohepa raua ko Rahera, a ka piko iho raua.
And Lea and her children drew near and did reverence; and after this drew near Rachel and Joseph, and did reverence.
8 A ka mea ia, hei aha mau tenei ropu katoa i tutaki nei ki ahau? Ano ra ko ia, Kia manakohia mai ai ahau e toku ariki.
And he said, What are these things to thee, all these companies that I have met? And he said, That thy servant might find grace in thy sight, my lord.
9 A ka mea a Ehau, He nui kei ahau; waiho ano i a koe tau, e toku teina.
And Esau said, I have much, my brother; keep thine own.
10 Ano ra ko Hakopa, Kaua ra; mehemea kua manakohia mai ahau e koe, na, me tango e koe te hakari a toku ringa: ka kite atu nei hoki ahau i tou kanohi, me te mea e titiro atu ana ki te kanohi o te Atua, a ka pai mai ano koe ki ahau.
And Jacob said, If I have found grace in thy sight, receive the gifts through my hands; therefore have I seen thy face, as if any one should see the face of God, and thou shalt be well-pleased with me.
11 Tangohia ra taku manaaki i kawea atu na ki a koe; kua atawhai mai nei hoki te Atua ki ahau, a e hua ana aku mea. Na ka tohe ia ki a ia, a ka tangohia e ia.
Receive my blessings, which I have brought thee, because God has had mercy on me, and I have all things; and he constrained him, and he took [them].
12 Na ka mea ia, Hapainga, tatou ka haere, me haere ano ahau i mua i a koe.
And he said, Let us depart, and proceed right onward.
13 A ka mea ia ki a ia, E mohio ana toku ariki he kahakore nga tamariki, a kei ahau hoki nga kahui me nga kau whai kuao: kia kotahi noa rangi e akiakina ana ratou, na ka mate katoa nga kahui.
And he said to him, My lord knows, that the children are very tender, and the flocks and the herds with me are with young; if then I shall drive them hard one day, all the cattle will die.
14 Ko koe, ko toku ariki, e haere i mua i tana pononga: a ka rite taku ata arataki ki te haere a nga mea i toku aroaro nei, ki te haere hoki a nga tamariki, a kia tae ra ano ahau ki toku ariki, ki Heira.
Let my lord go on before his servant, and I shall have strength on the road according to the ease of the journey before me, and according to the strength of the children, until I come to my lord to Seir.
15 Na ka mea a Ehau, Kati, me waiho e ahau ki a koe etahi o nga tangata i ahau nei. A ka mea ia, Hei aha koa? kia manakohia mai ahau e toku ariki.
And Esau said, I will leave with thee some of the people who are with me. And he said, Why so? it is enough that I have found favour before thee, [my] lord.
16 Na ka hoki a Ehau i taua rangi ano, ka haere ki Heira.
And Esau returned on that day on his journey to Seir.
17 A ka turia atu e Hakopa ki Hukota, ka hanga e ia tetahi whare mona, i hanga ano hoki e ia etahi tihokahoka mo ana kararehe: na reira i huaina ai te ingoa o taua wahi ko Hukota.
And Jacob departs to his tents; and he made for himself there habitations, and for his cattle he made booths; therefore he called the name of that place, Booths.
18 A ka tae a Hakopa ki Hareme, ki tetahi pa o Hekeme, ki te whenua o Kanaana, i tona haerenga mai i Paranaarama; a ka noho ki te ritenga atu o te pa.
And Jacob came to Salem, a city of Secima, which is in the land of Chanaan, when he departed out of Mesopotamia of Syria, and took up a position in front of the city.
19 Na ka hokona e ia te wahi whenua i tu ai tona teneti i te ringa o nga tama a Hamora, papa o Hekeme, ki nga moni kotahi rau.
And he bought the portion of the field, where he pitched his tent, of Emmor the father of Sychem, for a hundred lambs.
20 Na ka whakaturia e ia tetahi aata ki reira, a huaina iho e ia ko Ereerohe Iharaira.
And he set up there an altar, and called on the God of Israel.
