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；
Then Jacob lifted up his eyes and looked, and lo! Esau, coming in, —and with him, four hundred men. So he divided the children—unto Leah and unto Rachel, and unto the two handmaids;
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 put the handmaids and their children first, —and Leah and her children next, and Rachel and Joseph next;
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 himself, passed over before them, and bowed himself to the earth seven times, until he had come near unto 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。
Then ran Esau to meet him, and embraced him, and fell on his neck, —and they 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。」
Then lifted he up his eyes, and beheld the women and the children, and said What are these to thee? And he said—The children wherewith God hath favoured thy servant,
6 於是婢女和她們的孩子前來叩拜了。
Then came near the handmaids, they—and their children, —and bowed themselves.
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。
Then came near Leah also with her children, —and they bowed themselves. And afterwards, came near Joseph with Rachel, and they bowed themselves,
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。」
Then said he, What to thee is all this camp, which I have fallen in with? And he said, —To find favour in the eyes of my lord.
9 厄撒烏說：「我的兄弟，我已夠富足了；你的，你留下罷! 」
Then said Esau, I have an abundance, —my brother, be thine what thou hast!
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。
Then said Jacob, Nay, I pray thee, if, I pray thee, I have found favour in thine eyes, then thou wilt take my present at my hand, —For on this account, hath my seeing thy face been like seeing the face of God in that thou wast 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。
Take, I pray thee my blessing which hath been brought in to thee, because God hath shewed me favour and because I have everything. So he was urgent with him and he took it.
12 厄撒烏說：「我們起程前行，我願與你同行。」
Then he said, Let us break up and go, and let me go on before thee.
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 unto him, My lord, is taking note, that, the children are tender, —and the flocks and the herds are giving suck with me, —and, should I overdrive them a single day, then would all the flocks 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, I pray thee pass over before his servant, and let, me, lead on in my own easy way, at the pace of the cattle that are before me, and at the pace of the children, until that I come in unto my lord, towards 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! 」
Then said Esau: Let me leave, I pray thee, along with thee, some of the people who are with me! And he said—Why so? let me find favour in the eyes of my lord!
16 厄撒烏就在當天回了色依爾。
So Esau returned, that day, to his journey towards Mount 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。」
But, Jacob, brake up towards Succoth, and built for himself a house, for his cattle, made he places of shelter, for which cause, the name of the place was called, Succoth.
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 in peace to the city of Shechem, which is in the land of Canaan, —when he came in from Padan-aram, —and he encamped before 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 had spread out his tent, at the hand of the sons of Hamor, father of Shechem, —for a hundred kesitahs.
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 it, El-elohe-Israel.
