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 looked, and behold, Esau was coming, and with him four hundred men. And he distributed the children to Leah, and to Rachel, and to the two maidservants:
2 postavi sluškinje i njihovu djecu na čelo; iza njih Leu i njezinu djecu; a Rahelu i Josipa straga.
and he put the maidservants and their children foremost, and Leah and her children after, and Rachel and Joseph hindmost.
3 Sam prođe naprijed, nakloni se do zemlje sedam puta dok se ne primače svome bratu.
And he passed on before them, and bowed to the earth seven times, until he came near to his brother.
4 Ezav mu potrča u susret. Zagrli ga padnuvši mu oko vrata, poljubi ga i zaplaka.
And Esau ran to meet him, and embraced him, and fell on his neck, and kissed him; and they 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 he lifted up his eyes and saw the women and the children, and said, Who are these with thee? And he said, The children that God has graciously given thy servant.
6 Potom naprijed stupe sluškinje sa svojom djecom te se duboko naklone.
And the maidservants drew near, they and their children, and they bowed.
7 Naprijed stupi i Lea sa svojom djecom te se duboko nakloni. Najposlije stupe naprijed Josip i Rahela te se duboko naklone.
And Leah also, with her children, drew near, and they bowed. And lastly Joseph drew near, and Rachel, and they bowed.
8 Ezav upita: “Što kaniš sa svom ovom povorkom što sam je sreo?” Odgovori: “Naći naklonost svoga gospodara.”
And he said, What [meanest] thou by all the drove which I met? And he said, To find favour in the eyes of my lord.
9 Ezav odgovori: “Ja imam dosta, brate moj. Neka ostane tebi što je tvoje.”
And Esau said, I have enough, my brother; let what thou hast be thine.
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, No, I pray thee; if now I have found favour in thine eyes, then receive my gift from my hand; for therefore have I seen thy face, as though I had seen the face of God, and thou hast received me with pleasure.
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.
Take, I pray thee, my blessing which has been brought to thee; because God has been gracious to me, and because I have everything. And he urged him, and he took [it].
12 “Pođimo na put”, reče Ezav, “i ja ću s tobom putovati.”
And he said, Let us take our journey, and go on, and I will go before thee.
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 tender, and the suckling sheep and kine are with me; and if they should overdrive them only one day, all the flock would 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, I pray thee, pass on before his servant, and I will drive on at my ease according to the pace of the cattle that is before me, and according to the pace 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, Let me now leave with thee [some] of the people that are with me. And he said, What need? Let me find favour in the eyes of my lord.
16 Tako se Ezav onog dana zaputi natrag u Seir,
And Esau returned that day on his way 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 journeyed to Succoth, and built himself a house, and for his cattle he made booths. Therefore the name of the place was called Succoth.
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 safely [to the] city Shechem, which is in the land of Canaan, when he came from Padan-Aram; and he encamped before 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 had spread his tent, of the hand of the sons of Hamor, Shechem's father, for a hundred kesitahs.
20 Tu podiže žrtvenik i nazva ga “El, Bog Izraelov”.
And there he set up an altar, and called it El-Elohe-Israel.
