創世記 33
1 雅各伯舉目，看見厄撒烏帶了四百人前來，遂將孩子分別交與肋阿、辣黑耳和兩個婢女；
And Jacob lifted up his eyes, and saw, and behold! Esau his brother coming, and four hundred men with him; and Jacob divided the children to Lea and to Rachel, and the two handmaidens.
2 將兩個婢女和她們的孩子放在最前面，其次是肋阿和她的孩子，最後是辣黑耳和若瑟。
And he put the two handmaidens and their children with the first, and Lea and her children behind, and Rachel and Joseph last.
3 他自己走在他們前面，七次伏地叩拜，直到來到哥哥前。
But he advanced himself before them, and did reverence to the ground seven times, until he drew near to his brother.
4 厄撒烏卻向他跑來，抱住他，撲在他頸上吻他，兩人都哭了。
And Esau ran on to meet him, and embraced him, and fell on his neck, and kissed him; and they both wept.
5 厄撒烏舉目，看見女人和孩子，遂問說：「這些人是你的什麼人﹖」雅各伯答說：「是天主恩賜給你僕人的孩子。」
And Esau looked up and saw the women and the children, and said, What are these to you? And he said, The children with which God has mercifully blessed your servant.
6 於是婢女和她們的孩子前來叩拜了。
And the maidservants and their children drew near and did reverence.
7 肋阿和她的孩子也前來叩拜了，最後若瑟和辣黑耳才近前來叩拜。
And Lea and her children drew near and did reverence; and after this drew near Rachel and Joseph, and did reverence.
8 厄撒烏又問說：「我所見的這一大隊，有什麼意思﹖」雅各伯答說：「這是蒙我主悅納的。」
And he said, What are these things to you, all these companies that I have met? And he said, That your servant might find grace in your sight, my lord.
9 厄撒烏說：「我的兄弟，我已夠富足了；你的，你留下罷! 」
And Esau said, I have much, my brother; keep your own.
10 雅各伯說：「請不要這樣! 我若真蒙你悅納，請你收下我手中的禮物；因為我見了你的面，就如見了天主的面；你實在仁厚接待了我。
And Jacob said, If I have found grace in your sight, receive the gifts through my hands; therefore have I seen your face, as if any one should see the face of God, and you shall be well-pleased with me.
11 請你收下我獻給你的禮品；因為天主厚待了我，我什麼都有了。」由於雅各伯極力懇請，他才收下了。
Receive my blessings, which I have brought you, because God has had mercy on me, and I have all things; and he constrained him, and he took [them].
12 厄撒烏說：「我們起程前行，我願與你同行。」
And he said, Let us depart, and proceed right onward.
13 雅各伯對他說：「我主知道，孩子尚幼小，我還要照顧尚在哺乳的牛羊，若一天只顧催趕，全群牲畜都要死盡。
And he said to him, My lord knows, that the children are very tender, and the flocks and the herds with me are with young; if then I shall drive them hard one day, all the cattle will die.
14 還是請我主在你僕人前先行；我要照我前面的牲畜和孩子們的腳步，慢慢前行；直至達到色意依爾我主那裏。」
Let my lord go on before his servant, and I shall have strength on the road according to the ease of the journey before me, and according to the strength of the children, until I come to my lord to Seir.
15 厄撒烏說：「讓我留下幾個跟我的人陪著你。」雅各伯說：「只要我能蒙我主悅納，又何必如此! 」
And Esau said, I will leave with you some of the people who are with me. And he said, Why so? it is enough that I have found favour before you, [my] lord.
16 厄撒烏就在當天回了色依爾。
And Esau returned on that day on his journey to Seir.
17 雅各伯卻動身往穌苛特去了，在那裏為自己蓋了一座房屋，為牲畜搭了些棚子；為此給那地起名叫「穌苛特。」
And Jacob departs to his tents; and he made for himself there habitations, and for his cattle he made booths; therefore he called the name of that place, Booths.
18 雅各伯由帕丹阿蘭回來，平安來到客納罕地的舍根城，在城的對面支搭了帳幕。
And Jacob came to Salem, a city of Secima, which is in the land of Chanaan, when he departed out of Mesopotamia of Syria, and took up a position in front of the city.
19 他支搭帳幕的那塊地，是由舍根的父親哈摩爾的兒子們手裏，用一百塊銀錢買來的
And he bought the portion of the field, where he pitched his tent, of Emmor the father of Sychem, for a hundred lambs.
20 雅各伯在那裏建立了一座祭壇，稱它為：「大能者以色列的天主。」
And he set up there an altar, and called on the God of Israel.
