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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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

1 And Jacob lifted up his eyes, and looked, and, behold, Esau was coming, and with him four hundred men. And he divided the children unto Leah, and unto Rachel, and unto the two handmaids. 2 And he put the handmaids and their children foremost, and Leah and her children after, and Rachel and Joseph hindermost. 3 And he himself passed over before them, and bowed himself to the ground seven times, until he came near to his brother. 4 And Esau ran to meet him, and embraced him, and fell on his neck, and kissed him: and they wept. 5 And he lifted up his eyes, and saw the women and the children; and said, Who are these with thee? And he said, The children whom God hath graciously given thy servant. 6 Then the handmaids came near, they and their children, and they bowed themselves. 7 And Leah also and her children came near, and bowed themselves: and after came Joseph near and Rachel, and they bowed themselves. 8 And he said, What meanest thou by all this company which I met? And he said, To find favor in the sight of my lord. 9 And Esau said, I have enough, my brother; let that which thou hast be thine. 10 And Jacob said, Nay, I pray thee, if now I have found favor in thy sight, then receive my present at my hand; forasmuch as I have seen thy face, as one seeth the face of God, and thou wast pleased with me. 11 Take, I pray thee, my gift that is brought to thee; because God hath dealt graciously with me, and because I have enough. And he urged him, and he took it. 12 And he said, Let us take our journey, and let us go, and I will go before thee. 13 And he said unto him, My lord knoweth that the children are tender, and that the flocks and herds with me have their young: and if they overdrive them one day, all the flocks will die. 14 Let my lord, I pray thee, pass over before his servant: and I will lead on gently, according to the pace of the cattle that are before me and according to the pace of the children, until I come unto my lord unto Seir. 15 And Esau said, Let me now leave with thee some of the folk that are with me. And he said, What needeth it? let me find favor in the sight of my lord. 16 So Esau returned that day on his way unto Seir. 17 And Jacob journeyed to Succoth, and built him a house, and made booths for his cattle: therefore the name of the place is called Succoth.

18 And Jacob came in peace to the city of Shechem, which is in the land of Canaan, when he came from Paddan-aram; and encamped before the city. 19 And he bought the parcel of ground, where he had spread his tent, at the hand of the children of Hamor, Shechem’s father, for a hundred pieces of money. 20 And he erected there an altar, and called it El-Elohe-Israel.
