Ka Whakatau a Hākopa i a Ēhau
1 Ā, ka maranga ake ngā kanohi o Hākopa, nā, ka titiro atu ia, ā, ko Ēhau e haere mai ana, rātou ko ngā tāngata e whā rau. Nā, ka wehea e ia ngā tamariki ki a Rea, ki a Rahera, ki ngā pononga wāhine hoki tokorua. 2 I makā anō e ia ngā pononga wāhine me ā rāua tamariki ki mua, ko Rea rātou ko āna tamariki ki muri mai, ā, ko Rahera rāua ko Hōhepa ki muri rawa. 3 Nā, ko ia i haere ki mua i a rātou, ā, e whitu ōna pikonga ki te whenua, ā, whakatata noa ia ki tōna tuakana.
4 Nā, ka rere a Ēhau ki te whakatau i a ia, ā, ka awhi i a ia, ka hinga hoki ki runga ki tōna kakī, ka kihi i a ia; nā, ka tangi rāua. 5 Nā, ka maranga ōna kanohi, ka kite ia i ngā wāhine, rātou ko ngā tamariki; ā, ka mea, "Ko wai ēnei i a koe nei?"
Ā, ka mea ia, "Ko ngā tamariki, ko ngā ohaohatanga a te Atua ki tāu pononga."
6 Nā, ka whakatata ngā pononga wāhine, rāua ko ā rāua tamariki, ā, ka piko iho. 7 Nā, ka whakatata hoki a Rea, rātou ko āna tamariki, ā, ka piko iho; ā muri iho ka whakatata a Hōhepa rāua ko Rahera, ā, ka piko iho rāua.
8 Ā, ka mea ia, "Hei aha māu tēnei rōpū katoa i tūtaki nei ki ahau?"
Anō rā ko ia, "Kia manakohia mai ai ahau e tōku ariki."
9 Ā, ka mea a Ēhau, "He nui kei ahau; waiho anō i a koe tāu, e tōku teina."
10 Anō rā ko Hākopa, "Kaua rā; mehemea kua manakohia mai ahau e koe, nā, me tango e koe te hākari a tōku ringa. Ka kite atu nei hoki ahau i tōu kanohi, me te mea e titiro atu ana ki te kanohi o te Atua, ā, ka pai mai anō koe ki ahau. 11 Tangohia rā tāku manaaki i kawea atu nā ki a koe; kua atawhai mai nei hoki te Atua ki ahau, ā, e hua ana āku mea." Nā, ka tohe ia ki a ia, ā, ka tangohia e ia.
12 Nā, ka mea ia, "Hāpainga, tātou ka haere, me haere anō ahau i mua i a koe."
13 Ā, ka mea ia ki a ia, "E mōhio ana tōku ariki he kahakore ngā tamariki, ā, kei ahau hoki ngā kāhui me ngā kau whai kūao. Kia kotahi noa rangi e akiakina ana rātou, nā, ka mate katoa ngā kāhui. 14 Ko koe, ko tōku ariki, e haere i mua i tāna pononga; ā, ka rite tāku āta arataki ki te haere a ngā mea i tōku aroaro nei, ki te haere hoki a ngā tamariki, ā, kia tae rā anō ahau ki tōku ariki, ki Heira."
15 Nā, ka mea a Ēhau, "Kāti, me waiho e ahau ki a koe ētahi o ngā tāngata i ahau nei."
Ā, ka mea ia, "Hei aha koa? Kia manakohia mai ahau e tōku ariki."
16 Nā, ka hoki a Ēhau i taua rangi anō, ka haere ki Heira. 17 Ā, ka tūria atu e Hākopa ki Hukota, ka hangā e ia tētahi whare mōna, i hangā anō hoki e ia ētahi tīhokahoka mō āna kararehe. Nā reira i huaina ai te ingoa o taua wāhi ko Hukota.
Ka Tae a Hākopa ki Hareme
18 Ā, ka tae a Hākopa ki Hareme, ki tētahi pā o Hekeme, ki te whenua o Kanaana, i tōna haerenga mai i Paranārama; ā, ka noho ki te ritenga atu o te pā. 19 Nā, ka hokona e ia te wāhi whenua i tū ai tōna tēneti i te ringa o ngā tama a Hāmora, pāpā o Hekeme, ki ngā moni kotahi rau. 20 Nā, ka whakatūria e ia tētahi āta ki reira, ā, huaina iho e ia ko Erērohe Īharaira.
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.
