Genesis 33:13 in other translations
And he said unto him, My lord knoweth that the children are tender, and the flocks and herds with young are with me: and if men should overdrive them one day, all the flock will die.
But Jacob replied, “My lord knows that the children are frail, and I must care for sheep and cattle that are nursing their young. If they are driven hard for even a day, all the animals will die.
Jacob said to him, “My lord knows 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.

In context
10 Yakobo akasema, “Hapana, tafadhari, ikiwa nimeona kibali mbele zako, basi upokee zawadi yangu kutoka mkononi mwangu, na ni kama kuona uso wa Mungu, na umenipokea.
11 Tafadhari pokea zawadi yangu uliyoletewa, kwa sababu Mungu amenitendea kwa neema, na kwa sababu ninavyo vya kutosha.” Hivyo Yakobo akamsihi, na Esau akamkubali.
12 Kisha Esau akasema, “Haya na tuondoke. Nitakutangulia.”
13 Yakobo akamwambia, “Bwana wangu anajua kwamba watoto ni wadogo, na kwamba kondoo na ng'ombe wananyonyesha ndama wao. Ikiwa watapelekwa kwa haraka hata siku moja, wanyama wote watakufa.
14 Tafadhari bwana wangu na amtangulie mtumishi wake. Nitasafiri polopole, kwa kadili ya mifugo iliyo mbele yangu, na kadili ya watoto, hata nitakapofika kwa bwana wangu huko Seiri.”
15 Esau akasema, haya nikuachie baadhi ya watu wangu waliopamoja nami.” Yakobo akasema, “Kwa nini kufanya hivyo? Bwana wangu amekuwa mkalimu kwangu kiasi cha kutosha.”
16 Hivyo Esau akaanza kurudi Seiri.
