18 Enti ɔde kɔɔ ne papa hɔ, na ɔkaa sɛ: “Papa!” na ɔgyee so sɛ: “Menie! Ɛyɛ wo hwan, me ba?” 19 Ɛnna Yakob ka kyerɛɛ ne papa sɛ: “Ɛyɛ wo ba panin Esau.+ Deɛ wokaeɛ no mayɛ awie. Mesrɛ wo, sɔre tena ase na di wuram nam a makum no bi na hyira* me.”+ 20 Ɛnna Isak bisaa ne ba no sɛ: “Ɛyɛɛ dɛn na wonyaa bi ntɛm saa?” Ɔbuaa sɛ: “Ɛyɛ Yehowa wo Nyankopɔn na ɔmaa menyaeɛ.” 21 Afei Isak ka kyerɛɛ Yakob sɛ: “Mesrɛ wo, twe bɛn me na memfa me nsa nka wo nhwɛ sɛ ampa woyɛ me ba Esau anaa.”+ 22 Enti Yakob twe bɛnee ne papa Isak, na ɔde ne nsa kekaa ne ho, na ɔkaa sɛ: “Ɛnne no yɛ Yakob nne, nanso nsa no yɛ Esau nsa.”+ 23 Wanhu no, ɛfiri sɛ na ne nsa ho wɔ nwi te sɛ ne nua Esau. Enti ɔhyiraa no.+

24 Ɛnna ɔbisaa sɛ: “Ampa ara sɛ wone me ba Esau?” Na ɔbuaa sɛ: “Aane, ɛyɛ me a.” 25 Afei ɔkaa sɛ: “Me ba, brɛ me wuram nam no bi nni, na menhyira wo.”* Enti ɔde brɛɛ no na ɔdiiɛ, na ɔde nsã* brɛɛ no maa no nomeeɛ. 26 Ɛnna ne papa Isak ka kyerɛɛ no sɛ: “Me ba, mesrɛ wo, twe bɛn me na bɛfe m’ano.”+ 27 Enti ɔtwe bɛnee no, na ɔfee n’ano, na ɔtee n’ataadeɛ mu hwa.+ Ɛnna ɔhyiraa no sɛ:
