7 Beni Esau kɛ Yakob ye afii 15 lɛ, amɛnii Abraham gbo, kɛlɛ shi ni Yehowa wo Abraham lɛ gbooo.

Shiwoo nɛɛ ha ana akɛ Mesia lɛ, ni ji ‘seshi’ lɛ diɛŋtsɛ ni awie ehe yɛ 1 Mose 3:15 lɛ baajɛ Abraham seshibii lɛ ateŋ. Akɛni Esau ji Isak kromɔbi hewɔ lɛ, ená hegbɛ lɛ akɛ enine ashɛ nakai shiwoo lɛ nɔ. Enɛ ji gboshinii ni nɔ bɛ ni kulɛ Esau nine baashɛ nɔ! Shi ani ehiɛ sɔ?

8 Gbi ko beni Esau jɛ ŋa nɔ eba lɛ, ebana ni Yakob ‘miihoo niyenii ko.’ Esau kɛɛ akɛ: “Miikpao fai, ha mi nɛkɛ nii tsuru nɛɛ eko maye, shi etɔ mi!” Shi Yakob to he eha lɛ akɛ: “Hɔɔmɔ okromɔ bi gbɛnaa lɛ oha mi dã.” Mɛni Esau fee? Naakpɛɛ sane ji akɛ, ekɛɛ akɛ: “Mɛni kromɔbi gbɛnaa nɛɛ baafee aha mi?” Hɛɛ, Esau hala niyenii moŋ fe ekromɔ bi gbɛnaa lɛ! Bɔni afee ni kromɔbi gbɛnaa lɛ hɔɔmɔ lɛ afee mla naa nɔ lɛ, Yakob kɛɛ lɛ akɛ: “Kã mi nɔ kitã dã!” Esau fiteee be kwraa, kɛkɛ ni ehɔɔ ekromɔ bi gbɛnaa lɛ. Kɛkɛ ni “Yakob ha Esau aboloo kɛ abɔbɔi ní ehoo lɛ eko; ni eye ni enu nɔ ko eshwie nɔ, ni ete shi, ni eyiŋ etee. Nɛkɛ Esau gbe ekromɔ bi gbɛnaa lɛ he guɔ.”—1 Mose 25:29-34.
9 Afii komɛi asɛɛ beni Isak na akɛ ebaagbo lɛ, Rebeka kwɛ koni Yakob nine ashɛ kromɔ bi gbɛnaa ni Esau hɔɔ lɛ nɔ. Sɛɛ mli beni Esau na akɛ eye kwashiai asane lɛ, ekpa Isak fai akɛ: “Mi hu, jɔɔmɔ mi eko, mitsɛ! . . .

Esau hiɛ esɔɔɔ ekromɔ bi gbɛnaa lɛ, ni eyɛ faŋŋ akɛ esumɔɔɔ Nyɔŋmɔ. Kɛfata he lɛ, Esau susuuu bɔ ni yiŋ ni ekpɛ lɛ baasa eshwiei ahe eha lɛ he. Nɔ ni tamɔɔɔ nakai lɛ, Yakob hiɛ sɔ egboshinii lɛ waa. Akɛ nɔkwɛmɔnɔ lɛ, Yakob bo ŋaa ni efɔlɔi wo lɛ yɛ yoo ni esa akɛ ekɛhi shi lɛ he lɛ toi. (1 Mose 27:46–28:3) Akɛni Yakob to etsui shi ni ekɛ nibii komɛi shã afɔle hewɔ lɛ, sɛɛ mli lɛ ebatsɔ Mesia lɛ blematsɛ. Te Nyɔŋmɔ na Esau kɛ Yakob tɛŋŋ? Yehowa tsɔ gbalɔ Maleaki nɔ ewie akɛ: “Misumɔ Yakob, shi minyɛ̃ Esau.”—Mal. 1:2, 3.

11 Ani Kristofoi baanyɛ akase nɔ ko kɛjɛ nɔ ni Biblia lɛ wieɔ yɛ Esau he lɛ mli ŋmɛnɛ? Hɛɛ.
