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 came, and with him four hundred men. And he divided the children to Leah, and to Rachel, and to the two handmaids.
2 postavi sluškinje i njihovu djecu na čelo; iza njih Leu i njezinu djecu; a Rahelu i Josipa straga.
And he put the handmaids and their children foremost, and Leah and her children after, and Rachel and Joseph hindermost.
3 Sam prođe naprijed, nakloni se do zemlje sedam puta dok se ne primače svome bratu.
And he passed on before them, and bowed himself to the ground seven times, till 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] those with thee? And he said, The children which God hath graciously given to thy servant.
6 Potom naprijed stupe sluškinje sa svojom djecom te se duboko naklone.
Then the handmaidens came near, they and their children, and they bowed themselves.
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 came near, and bowed themselves; and after came Joseph near and Rachel, and they bowed themselves.
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 this drove which I met? And he said, [these are] to find grace in the sight 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; keep what thou hast to thyself.
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, Nay, I pray thee, if now I have found grace in thy sight, then receive my present at my hand: for therefore I have seen thy face, as though I had seen the face of God, and thou hast been 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 that is brought to thee; because God hath dealt graciously with me, and because I have enough: 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 let us go, 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 knoweth that the children [are] tender, and the flocks and herds with young [are] with me, and if men should over-drive them one day, all the flock 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, I pray thee, pass over before his servant: and I will lead on slowly, according as the cattle that go before me, and the children are able to endure; 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 needeth it? Let me find grace in the sight of my lord.
16 Tako se Ezav onog dana zaputi natrag u Seir,
So 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 him a house, and made booths for his cattle: therefore the name of the place is 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 to Shalem, a city of Shechem, which [is] in the land of Canaan, when he came from Padan-aram; and pitched his tent 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 a part of a field, where he had spread his tent, at the hand of the children of Hamor, Shechem's father, for a hundred pieces of money.
20 Tu podiže žrtvenik i nazva ga “El, Bog Izraelov”.
And he erected there an altar, and called it El-elohe-Israel.
