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 lifteth up his eyes, and looketh, and lo, Esau is coming, and with him four hundred men; and he divideth the children unto Leah, and unto Rachel, and unto the two maid-servants;
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 setteth the maid-servants and their children first, and Leah 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。
And he himself passed over before them, and boweth himself to the earth seven times, until his drawing nigh unto 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 runneth to meet him, and embraceth him, and falleth on his neck, and kisseth him, and they weep;
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 he lifteth up his eyes, and seeth the women and the children, and saith, 'What [are] these to thee?' And he saith, 'The children with whom God hath favoured thy servant.'
6 于是两个使女和她们的孩子前来下拜；
And the maid-servants draw nigh, they and their children, and bow themselves;
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 Leah also draweth nigh, and her children, and they bow themselves; and afterwards Joseph hath drawn nigh with Rachel, and they bow themselves.
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 saith, 'What to thee [is] all this camp which I have met?' and he saith, 'To find grace in the eyes of my lord.'
9 以扫说：“兄弟啊，我的已经够了，你的仍归你吧！”
And Esau saith, 'I have abundance, my brother, let it be to thyself that which thou hast.'
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 saith, 'Nay, I pray thee, if, I pray thee, I have found grace in thine eyes, then thou hast received my present from my hand, because that I have seen thy face, as the seeing of the face of God, and thou art 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, I pray thee, my blessing, which is brought to thee, because God hath favoured me, and because I have all [things];' and he presseth on him, and he receiveth,
12 以扫说：“我们可以起身前往，我在你前头走。”
and saith, 'Let us journey and go on, and I go on before thee.'
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 saith unto him, 'My lord knoweth that the children [are] tender, and the suckling flock and the herd [are] with me; when they have beaten them one day, then hath all the flock died.
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, I pray thee, pass over before his servant, and I — I lead on gently, according to the foot of the work which [is] before me, and to the foot of the children, until that I come unto 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 saith, 'Let me, I pray thee, place with thee some of the people who [are] with me;' and he said, 'Why [is] this? I find grace in the eyes of my lord.'
16 于是，以扫当日起行，回往西珥去了。
And turn back on that day doth Esau on his way 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 hath journeyed to Succoth, and buildeth to himself a house, and for his cattle hath made booths, therefore hath he called the name of the place Succoth.
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 cometh in to Shalem, a city of Shechem, which [is] in the land of Canaan, in his coming from Padan-Aram, and encampeth before 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 buyeth the portion of the field where he hath stretched out his tent, from the hand of the sons of Hamor, father of Shechem, for a hundred kesitah;
20 在那里筑了一座坛，起名叫伊利·伊罗伊·以色列。
and he setteth up there an altar, and proclaimeth at it God — the God of Israel.
