1 ¶ And Jacob lifted up his eyes, and saw, and, behold, Esau came and with him four hundred men. And he divided the children unto Leah and unto Rachel and unto the two handmaids.

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.

2 A nd he put the handmaids and their children in front, and Leah and her children next, and Rachel and Joseph last.

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.

3 A nd he passed over in front of them and bowed himself to the ground seven times until he came near to his brother.

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.

4 A nd Esau ran to meet him and embraced him and fell on his neck and kissed him, and they wept.

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.

5 ¶ And he lifted up his eyes and saw the women and the children and said, Who are those with thee? And he said, The children whom God hath graciously given thy slave.

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.

6 T hen the handmaidens came near, they and their children, and they bowed themselves.

Na ka whakatata nga pononga wahine, raua ko a raua tamariki, a ka piko iho.

7 A nd Leah also with her children came near and bowed themselves; and after came Joseph near and Rachel, and they also bowed themselves.

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.

8 A nd he said, What meanest thou by all these droves which I met? And he said, To find grace in the sight of my lord.

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.

9 A nd Esau said, I have enough, my brother; keep what thou hast unto thyself.

A ka mea a Ehau, He nui kei ahau; waiho ano i a koe tau, e toku teina.

10 A nd Jacob said, No, I pray thee, if now I have found grace in thy sight, then receive my present from my hand, that for this I have seen thy face as though I had seen the face of God; and do me the pleasure.

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.

11 T ake, I pray thee, my blessing that is brought to thee because God has dealt graciously with me, and all that is here is mine. And he urged him, and he took it.

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.

12 A nd he said, Let us take our journey, and let us go, and I will go before thee.

Na ka mea ia, Hapainga, tatou ka haere, me haere ano ahau i mua i a koe.

13 A nd he said unto him, My lord knows that the children are tender, and the sheep and cows with young are with me; and if men should overdrive them, in one day all the sheep will die.

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.

14 L et my lord, I pray thee, pass before his slave; and I will lead on softly, according as the property that goes before me and the children are able to endure until I come unto my lord unto Seir.

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.

15 A nd Esau said, Let me now leave with thee some of the folk that are with me. And he said, What for? Let me find grace in the sight of my lord.

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.

16 ¶ So Esau returned that day on his way unto Seir.

Na ka hoki a Ehau i taua rangi ano, ka haere ki Heira.

17 A nd Jacob journeyed to Succoth and built himself a house and made booths for his livestock; therefore the name of the place is called Succoth.

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.

18 A nd Jacob came safe and sound to the city of Shechem, which is in the land of Canaan, when he came from Padanaram, and pitched his tent before the city.

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.

19 A nd he bought part of the field where he had spread his tent, from the hand of the sons of Hamor, Shechem’s father, for one hundred ewes.

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.

20 A nd there he erected an altar, and called it Elelohe-Israel (the Strong God of Israel).

Na ka whakaturia e ia tetahi aata ki reira, a huaina iho e ia ko Ereerohe Iharaira.
