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 lifts up his eyes, and looks, and behold, Esau is coming, and with him four hundred men; and he divides the children to Leah, and to Rachel, and to the two maidservants;
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 sets the maidservants and their children first, and Leah 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.
And he himself passed over before them, and bows himself to the earth seven times, until his drawing 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 runs to meet him, and embraces him, and falls on his neck, and kisses him, and they weep;
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 he lifts up his eyes, and sees the women and the children, and says, “What [are] these to you?” And he says, “The children with whom God has favored your servant.”
6 Na ka whakatata nga pononga wahine, raua ko a raua tamariki, a ka piko iho.
And the maidservants draw near, they and their children, and bow themselves;
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 Leah also draws near, and her children, and they bow themselves; and afterward Joseph has drawn near with Rachel, and they bow themselves.
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 says, “What to you [is] all this camp which I have met?” And he says, “To find grace in the eyes of my lord.”
9 A ka mea a Ehau, He nui kei ahau; waiho ano i a koe tau, e toku teina.
And Esau says, “I have abundance, my brother, that which you have, let it be for yourself.”
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 says, “No, please, now if I have found grace in your eyes, then you have received my present from my hand, because that I have seen your face, as the seeing of the face of God, and you are 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.
please receive my blessing which is brought to you, because God has favored me, and because I have all [things]”; and he presses on him, and he receives [it],
12 Na ka mea ia, Hapainga, tatou ka haere, me haere ano ahau i mua i a koe.
and says, “Let us journey and go on, and I go on before you.”
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 says to him, “My lord knows that the children [are] tender, and the suckling flock and the herd [are] with me; when they have beaten them one day, then all the flock has died.
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.
Please let my lord pass over before his servant, and I lead on gently, according to the foot of the work which [is] before me, and to the foot 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 says, “Please let me place with you some of the people who [are] with me”; and he said, “Why [is] this? I find grace in the eyes of my lord.”
16 Na ka hoki a Ehau i taua rangi ano, ka haere ki Heira.
And Esau turns back on that day on his way 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 has journeyed to Succoth, and builds a house for himself, and has made shelters for his livestock, therefore he has called the name of the place Succoth.
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 comes safe [to the] city of Shechem, which [is] in the land of Canaan, in his coming from Padan-Aram, and encamps before 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 buys the portion of the field where he has stretched out his tent, from the hand of the sons of Hamor, father of Shechem, for one hundred kesitah;
20 Na ka whakaturia e ia tetahi aata ki reira, a huaina iho e ia ko Ereerohe Iharaira.
and he sets up there an altar, and proclaims at it God—the God of Israel.
