創世記 33
1 雅各舉目觀看，見以掃來了，後頭跟着四百人，他就把孩子們分開交給利亞、拉結，和兩個使女，
Now Jacob looked up and saw that Esau approaching, and with him four hundred men. He divided the children between Leah, Rachel, and the two female servants.
2 並且叫兩個使女和她們的孩子在前頭，利亞和她的孩子在後頭，拉結和約瑟在儘後頭。
He put the female servants and their children in front, Leah and her children after, and Rachel and Joseph last.
3 他自己在他們前頭過去，一連七次俯伏在地才就近他哥哥。
He himself went on ahead of them, and bowed himself to the ground seven times, until he approached his brother.
4 以掃跑來迎接他，將他抱住，又摟着他的頸項，與他親嘴，兩個人就哭了。
Esau ran to meet him, embraced him, hugged his neck, and kissed him. And they wept.
5 以掃舉目看見婦人孩子，就說：「這些和你同行的是誰呢？」雅各說：「這些孩子是上帝施恩給你的僕人的。」
And he looked up and saw the women and the children, and said, "Who are these with you?" He said, "The children whom God has graciously given your servant."
6 於是兩個使女和她們的孩子前來下拜；
Then the female servants came forward with their children, and they bowed themselves.
7 利亞和她的孩子也前來下拜；隨後約瑟和拉結也前來下拜。
Leah also and her children came forward, and bowed themselves. After them, Joseph came forward with Rachel, and they bowed themselves.
8 以掃說：「我所遇見的這些群畜是甚麼意思呢？」雅各說：「是要在我主面前蒙恩的。」
Esau said, "What do you mean by all this company which I met?" Jacob said, "To find favor in the sight of my lord."
9 以掃說：「兄弟啊，我的已經夠了，你的仍歸你吧！」
Esau said, "I have enough, my brother; keep what you have for yourself."
10 雅各說：「不然，我若在你眼前蒙恩，就求你從我手裏收下這禮物；因為我見了你的面，如同見了上帝的面，並且你容納了我。
Jacob said, "No, please, if I have now found favor in our sight, then accept my present from my hand, because I have seen your face, which is like seeing the face of God, since you have accepted me.
11 求你收下我帶來給你的禮物；因為上帝恩待我，使我充足。」雅各再三地求他，他才收下了。
Please take the gift that I brought to you, because God has been gracious to me, and because I have enough." Thus he urged him, and he took it.
12 以掃說：「我們可以起身前往，我在你前頭走。」
Esau said, "Let us take our journey, and let us go, and I will go ahead of you."
13 雅各對他說：「我主知道孩子們年幼嬌嫩，牛羊也正在乳養的時候，若是催趕一天，群畜都必死了。
Jacob said to him, "My lord knows that the children are tender, and that the sheep and cattle with me have their young, and if they overdrive them one day, the whole herd will die.
14 求我主在僕人前頭走，我要量着在我面前群畜和孩子的力量慢慢地前行，直走到西珥我主那裏。」
Please let my lord pass on ahead of his servant, and I will move along slowly, at the pace of the herds that are before me and at the pace of the children, until I come to my lord at Seir."
15 以掃說：「容我把跟隨我的人留幾個在你這裏。」雅各說：「何必呢？只要在我主眼前蒙恩就是了。」
Esau said, "Let me now leave with you some of my people who are with me." But he said, "What need is there? Please indulge me, my lord."
16 於是，以掃當日起行，回往西珥去了。
So Esau returned that day on the road to Seir.
17 雅各就往疏割去，在那裏為自己蓋造房屋，又為牲畜搭棚；因此那地方名叫疏割。
But Jacob traveled to Succoth, and he built himself a house, and made shelters for his livestock. Therefore the name of the place is called Succoth.
18 雅各從巴旦‧亞蘭回來的時候，平平安安地到了迦南地的示劍城，在城東支搭帳棚，
After Jacob came from Paddan Aram, he arrived safely at the city of Shechem, which is in the land of Canaan, and camped near the city.
19 就用一百塊銀子向示劍的父親、哈抹的子孫買了支帳棚的那塊地，
He purchased the parcel of land where he had pitched his tent, from the sons of Hamor, Shechem's father, for a hundred kesitahs.
20 在那裏築了一座壇，起名叫伊利‧伊羅伊‧以色列 。
He erected an altar there and called it El Elohe Israel.
