18 Enti ɔde kɔɔ ne papa hɔ, na ɔkae sɛ: “Papa!” na ogyee so sɛ: “Mini! Ɛyɛ wo hena, me ba?” 19 Ɛnna Yakob ka kyerɛɛ ne papa sɛ: “Ɛyɛ wo ba panyin Esau.+ Nea wokae no mayɛ awie. Mesrɛ wo, sɔre tena ase na di me nam no bi na wo kra nhyira me.”+ 20 Ɛnna Isak bisaa ne ba no sɛ: “Ɛyɛɛ dɛn na wunyaa no ntɛm saa?” Obuae sɛ: “Ɛyɛ Yehowa wo Nyankopɔn na ɔma obehyiaa me.” 21 Afei Isak ka kyerɛɛ Yakob sɛ: “Mesrɛ wo, twiw bɛn me na memfa me nsa nka wo nhwɛ sɛ ɛyɛ me ba Esau ampa anaa.”+ 22 Enti Yakob twiw bɛn ne papa Isak, na ɔde ne nsa kekaa ne ho, na ɔkae sɛ: “Ɛnne no yɛ Yakob nne, nanso nsa no yɛ Esau nsa.”+ 23 Wanhu no, efisɛ na ne nsa ho wɔ nhwi te sɛ ne nua Esau nsa ho. Enti ohyiraa no.+

24 Na obisae sɛ: “Wone me ba Esau ampa?” Ɛnna ose: “Yiw, mene no.”+ 25 Afei ɔkae sɛ: “Fa brɛ me na minni me ba hanam no bi na me kra nhyira wo.”+ Enti ɔde besii n’anim na ofii ase dii, na ɔde nsã brɛɛ no ma ɔnomee. 26 Ɛnna ne papa Isak ka kyerɛɛ no sɛ: “Mesrɛ wo, twiw bɛn me na befew m’ano.”+ 27 Enti obefew n’ano, na ɔtee n’atade mu hua.+ Ɛnna ofii ase hyiraa no sɛ:

30 Isak hyiraa Yakob wiei a ofii ne papa no anim kɔe ara pɛ na ne nua Esau fii ahayɔ bae.+ 31 Ɔno nso yɛɛ akɔnnɔduan de brɛɛ ne papa kae sɛ: “Papa, mesrɛ wo sɔre na di wo ba hanam no bi na wo kra nhyira me.”+ 32 Ɛnna ne papa Isak bisaa no sɛ: “Ɛyɛ wo hena?” Na obuae sɛ: “Ɛyɛ me, wo ba panyin Esau.”+ 33 Afei Isak ho wosow biribiri na ɔkae sɛ: “Ɛnde hena na ɔkɔyɛɛ ha de brɛɛ me ma midii ne nyinaa ansa na woreba yi? Mahyira no, na nhyira nso na obenya!”+

34 Esau tee ne papa asɛm no, ɔde yaw sui denneennen, na ɔka kyerɛɛ ne papa sɛ:+ “Papa, mesrɛ wo, hyira me nso!”+ 35 Nanso ɔkae sɛ: “Wo nua abɛdaadaa me agye wo nhyira no.”+ 36 Ɛnna ɔkae sɛ: “Ɛnyɛ ɛno nti na ne din de Yakob no?
