BrLXX Εἶπε δὲ Ἡσαῦ, καταλείψω μετὰ σοῦ ἀπὸ τοῦ λαοῦ τοῦ μετʼ ἐμοῦ· ὁ δὲ εἶπεν, ἱνατί τοῦτο; ἱκανὸν ὅτι εὗρον χάριν ἐναντίον σου, κύριε.

33:1-17 Jacob’s long-anticipated meeting with his brother Esau turned out far better than he had feared. Esau’s changed heart is an example of how “God fights” (See 32:28). Earlier, he had cared little about the birthright (25:32-34); now he cared little for old grudges. Jacob recognized that God had intervened.
וַיֹּ֣אמֶר עֵשָׂ֔ו

Alternate translation: “Then Esau said to Jacob”
אַצִּֽיגָה נָּ֣א עִמְּךָ֔ מִן הָעָ֖ם אֲשֶׁ֣ר אִתִּ֑י

Note 1 topic: writing-quotations
וַיֹּ֨אמֶר֙
and=he/it_said
Make sure the way you translate this quote margin fits with how you translate the previous and following sentences. Alternate translation: “Jacob said to him,” or “Jacob answered him,”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion
לָ֣מָּה זֶּ֔ה
to/for=what there
Jacob uses a rhetorical question here to emphasize that there is no need for Esau to leave any of his men with him. For some languages it is clearer and more natural to use a statement here instead. Do what is best in your language.
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / honorifics
אֶמְצָא חֵ֖ן בְּעֵינֵ֥י אֲדֹנִֽי
find graciousness/kindness/favour/beauty in/on=both_eyes_of my=master/master
Consider again how you translated my lord in verses 8,13-15. For some languages it is more natural to put this address earlier in this quote. Do what is best in your language. Also see how you translated the idiom find favor in the eyes of in verse 8. Alternate translation: “Just please continue to be gracious to me, sir.” or “Sir, please just continue to treat me kindly.”
