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;
Then Jacob lifted up his eyes and looked, and lo! Esau, coming in, —and with him, four hundred men. So he divided the children—unto Leah and unto Rachel, and unto the two handmaids;
2 postavi sluškinje i njihovu djecu na čelo; iza njih Leu i njezinu djecu; a Rahelu i Josipa straga.
and put the handmaids and their children first, —and Leah and her children next, and Rachel and Joseph next;
3 Sam prođe naprijed, nakloni se do zemlje sedam puta dok se ne primače svome bratu.
but he himself, passed over before them, and bowed himself to the earth seven times, until he had come near unto his brother.
4 Ezav mu potrča u susret. Zagrli ga padnuvši mu oko vrata, poljubi ga i zaplaka.
Then ran Esau to meet him, and embraced him, and fell on his neck, —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.”
Then lifted he up his eyes, and beheld the women and the children, and said What are these to thee? And he said—The children wherewith God hath favoured thy servant,
6 Potom naprijed stupe sluškinje sa svojom djecom te se duboko naklone.
Then came near the handmaids, they—and their children, —and bowed themselves.
7 Naprijed stupi i Lea sa svojom djecom te se duboko nakloni. Najposlije stupe naprijed Josip i Rahela te se duboko naklone.
Then came near Leah also with her children, —and they bowed themselves. And afterwards, came near Joseph with Rachel, and they bowed themselves,
8 Ezav upita: “Što kaniš sa svom ovom povorkom što sam je sreo?” Odgovori: “Naći naklonost svoga gospodara.”
Then said he, What to thee is all this camp, which I have fallen in with? 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.”
Then said Esau, I have an abundance, —my brother, be thine what thou hast!
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.
Then said Jacob, Nay, I pray thee, if, I pray thee, I have found favour in thine eyes, then thou wilt take my present at my hand, —For on this account, hath my seeing thy face been like seeing the face of God in that thou wast 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.
Take, I pray thee my blessing which hath been brought in to thee, because God hath shewed me favour and because I have everything. So he was urgent with him and he took it.
12 “Pođimo na put”, reče Ezav, “i ja ću s tobom putovati.”
Then he said, Let us break up and go, and let me go on 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 unto him, My lord, is taking note, that, the children are tender, —and the flocks and the herds are giving suck with me, —and, should I overdrive them a single day, then would all the flocks 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 over before his servant, and let, me, lead on in my own easy way, at the pace of the cattle that are before me, and at the pace of the children, until that I come in unto my lord, towards 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!”
Then said Esau: Let me leave, I pray thee, along with thee, some of the people who are with me! And he said—Why so? let me find favour in the eyes of my lord!
16 Tako se Ezav onog dana zaputi natrag u Seir,
So Esau returned, that day, to his journey towards Mount Seir.
17 dok je Jakov otišao u Sukot, gdje sebi sagradi kuću, a svom blagu podigne staje. Stoga je onom mjestu dano ime Sukot.
But, Jacob, brake up towards Succoth, and built for himself a house, for his cattle, made he places of shelter, for which cause, 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 in peace to the city of Shechem, which is in the land of Canaan, —when he came in 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 out his tent, at the hand of the sons of Hamor, father of Shechem, —for a hundred kesitahs.
20 Tu podiže žrtvenik i nazva ga “El, Bog Izraelov”.
And he set up there an altar, —and called it, El-elohe-Israel.
