Postanak 33
1 Jakov podiže oči i opazi gdje dolazi Ezav i s njime četiri stotine ljudi. Onda on podijeli svoju djecu među Leu, Rahelu i dvije sluškinje;
And Jacob lifted up his eyes, and beheld, and lo! 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 postavi sluškinje i njihovu djecu na čelo; iza njih Leu i njezinu djecu; a Rahelu i Josipa straga.
And he put the two handmaidens and their children with the first, and Lea and her children behind, and Rachel and Joseph last.
3 Sam prođe naprijed, nakloni se do zemlje sedam puta dok se ne primače svome bratu.
But he advanced himself before them, and did reverence to the ground seven times, until he drew near to his brother.
4 Ezav mu potrča u susret. Zagrli ga padnuvši mu oko vrata, poljubi ga i zaplaka.
And Esau ran on to meet him, and embraced him, and fell on his neck, and kissed him; and they both wept.
5 Onda podiže oči i vidje žene i djecu. “Tko su ovi s tobom?” - zapita. On odgovori: “Djeca kojom je Bog obdario tvoga slugu.”
And Esau looked up and saw the women and the children, and said, What are these to thee? And he said, The children with which God has mercifully blessed thy servant.
6 Potom naprijed stupe sluškinje sa svojom djecom te se duboko naklone.
And the maid-servants and their children drew near and did reverence.
7 Naprijed stupi i Lea sa svojom djecom te se duboko nakloni. Najposlije stupe naprijed Josip i Rahela te se duboko naklone.
And Lea and her children drew near and did reverence; and after this drew near Rachel and Joseph, and did reverence.
8 Ezav upita: “Što kaniš sa svom ovom povorkom što sam je sreo?” Odgovori: “Naći naklonost svoga gospodara.”
And he said, What are these things to thee, all these companies that I have met? And he said, That thy servant might find grace in thy sight, my lord.
9 Ezav odgovori: “Ja imam dosta, brate moj. Neka ostane tebi što je tvoje.”
And Esau said, I have much, my brother; keep thine own.
10 A Jakov reče: “Nemoj tako! Ako sam našao naklonost u tvojim očima, primi dar iz moje ruke; jer meni je, što si me ljubezno primio, kao da gledam lice Božje.
And Jacob said, If I have found grace in thy sight, receive the gifts through my hands; therefore have I seen thy face, as if any one should see the face of God, and thou shalt be well-pleased with me.
11 Zato prihvati moj dar što sam ti ga donio; Bog mi je bio sklon te imam svega.” Kako ga je uporno nagovarao, Ezav prihvati.
Receive my blessings, which I have brought thee, because God has had mercy on me, and I have all things; and he constrained him, and he took [them].
12 “Pođimo na put”, reče Ezav, “i ja ću s tobom putovati.”
And he said, Let us depart, and proceed right onward.
13 Ali mu on odvrati: “Zna moj gospodar da su djeca nejaka. Osim toga, valja mi se brinuti o ovcama i kravama koje doje: ako bi se tjerale prebrzo samo jednog dana, sve bi pocrkale.
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 Neka moj gospodar ide ispred svoga sluge, a ja ću ići polako, uz korak marve pred sobom i uz korak djece, dok ne stignem k svome gospodaru u Seir.”
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 Onda reče Ezav: “Da ti barem ostavim nekoliko ljudi koji se sa mnom nalaze.” Ali on odgovori: “Čemu to? Neka ja samo nađem milost u očima svoga gospodara!”
And Esau said, I will leave with thee some of the people who are with me. And he said, Why so? it is enough that I have found favour before thee, [my] lord.
16 Tako se Ezav onog dana zaputi natrag u Seir,
And Esau returned on that day on his journey to Seir.
17 dok je Jakov otišao u Sukot, gdje sebi sagradi kuću, a svom blagu podigne staje. Stoga je onom mjestu dano ime Sukot.
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 Došavši tako iz Padan Arama, Jakov sretno stigne u grad Šekem, koji se nalazi u zemlji kanaanskoj, i postavi svoj šator pred gradom.
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 A komad zemlje na kojoj je postavio svoj šator kupi od sinova Hamora, Šekemova oca, za stotinu kesita.
And he bought the portion of the field, where he pitched his tent, of Emmor the father of Sychem, for a hundred lambs.
20 Tu podiže žrtvenik i nazva ga “El, Bog Izraelov”.
And he set up there an altar, and called on the God of Israel.
