1 T hen Jacob looked up and saw Esau coming with 400 men. So he divided the children among Leah and Rachel and the two women who served him.

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 H e put the women who served him and their children in front, and Leah and her children behind them, and Rachel and Joseph behind them.

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 T hen Jacob went before them. He bowed to the ground seven times, until he came near 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 B ut Esau ran to meet him and put his arms around him and kissed him. And they cried.

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 T hen Esau looked up and saw the women and the children. He said, “Who are these with you?” Jacob said, “They are the children whom God, in His loving-favor, has given your servant.”

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 women who served Jacob came near with their children, and they bowed to the ground.

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

7 L eah also came near with her children, and they bowed to the ground. Then Joseph and Rachel came near and bowed to the ground.

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 E sau said, “What do you mean by all these animals I have met?” And Jacob said, “They are a gift so I may find favor in the eyes 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 B ut Esau said, “I have enough, my brother. Keep what you have for yourself.”

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

10 B ut Jacob said, “No, I ask of you, if I have found favor in your eyes, then receive my gift. For I see your face as one sees the face of God. You have received me with favor.

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 my gift that has been brought to you. For God has shown loving-kindness to me, and I have all I need.” So he begged him until 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 T hen Esau said, “Let us be on our way. I will go with you.”

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

13 B ut Jacob said to him, “My lord knows that the children are weak. And there are young ones in my flocks that need milk. If they are made to go a long way in one day, all the flocks 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 go in front of his servant. And I will be slow in coming to my lord at Seir. I will go as fast as the cattle in front of me and as the children are able.”

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 S o Esau said, “Let me leave with you some of the people who are with me.” But Jacob said, “What need is there? Let me find favor in the eyes 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 S o Esau returned that day on his way to Seir.

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

17 B ut Jacob traveled to Succoth. He built his house there, and put up small buildings for his animals. So the name of the place is 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 N ow Jacob came in peace from Paddan-aram to the city of Shechem in the land of Canaan. And he put up his tents near 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 H e bought the piece of land where he had put up his tents for one hundred pieces of money from the sons of Hamor, Shechem’s father.

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 H e built an altar there, and gave it the name El-Elohe-Israel.

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