创世记 33
1 雅各举目观看，见以扫来了，后头跟着四百人，他就把孩子们分开交给利亚、拉结，和两个使女，
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 并且叫两个使女和她们的孩子在前头，利亚和她的孩子在后头，拉结和约瑟在尽后头。
And he put the two handmaidens and their children with the first, and Lea and her children behind, and Rachel and Joseph last.
3 他自己在他们前头过去，一连七次俯伏在地才就近他哥哥。
But he advanced himself before them, and did reverence to the ground seven times, until he drew near to his brother.
4 以扫跑来迎接他，将他抱住，又搂着他的颈项，与他亲嘴，两个人就哭了。
And Esau ran on to meet him, and embraced him, and fell on his neck, and kissed him; and they both wept.
5 以扫举目看见妇人孩子，就说：“这些和你同行的是谁呢？”雅各说：“这些孩子是 神施恩给你的仆人的。”
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 于是两个使女和她们的孩子前来下拜；
And the maidservants and their children drew near and did reverence.
7 利亚和她的孩子也前来下拜；随后约瑟和拉结也前来下拜。
And Lea and her children drew near and did reverence; and after this drew near Rachel and Joseph, and did reverence.
8 以扫说：“我所遇见的这些群畜是什么意思呢？”雅各说：“是要在我主面前蒙恩的。”
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 以扫说：“兄弟啊，我的已经够了，你的仍归你吧！”
And Esau said, I have much, my brother; keep your own.
10 雅各说：“不然，我若在你眼前蒙恩，就求你从我手里收下这礼物；因为我见了你的面，如同见了 神的面，并且你容纳了我。
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 求你收下我带来给你的礼物；因为 神恩待我，使我充足。”雅各再三地求他，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 以扫说：“我们可以起身前往，我在你前头走。”
And he said, Let us depart, and proceed right onward.
13 雅各对他说：“我主知道孩子们年幼娇嫩，牛羊也正在乳养的时候，若是催赶一天，群畜都必死了。
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 求我主在仆人前头走，我要量着在我面前群畜和孩子的力量慢慢地前行，直走到西珥我主那里。”
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 以扫说：“容我把跟随我的人留几个在你这里。”雅各说：“何必呢？只要在我主眼前蒙恩就是了。”
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 favor before you, [my] lord.
16 于是，以扫当日起行，回往西珥去了。
And Esau returned on that day on his journey to Seir.
17 雅各就往疏割去，在那里为自己盖造房屋，又为牲畜搭棚；因此那地方名叫疏割。
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 雅各从巴旦·亚兰回来的时候，平平安安地到了迦南地的示剑城，在城东支搭帐棚，
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 就用一百块银子向示剑的父亲、哈抹的子孙买了支帐棚的那块地，
And he bought the portion of the field, where he pitched his tent, of Emmor the father of Sychem, for a hundred lambs.
20 在那里筑了一座坛，起名叫伊利·伊罗伊·以色列。
And he set up there an altar, and called on the God of Israel.
