1 Mosebog 33
1 Da Jakob saa op, fik han Øje paa Esau, der kom fulgt af 400 Mand. Saa delte han Børnene mellem Lea, Rakel og de to Trælkvinder,
And Jacob lifts up his eyes, and looks, and behold, Esau is coming, and with him four hundred men; and he divides the children to Leah, and to Rachel, and to the two maidservants;
2 idet han stillede Trælkvinderne med deres Børn forrest, Lea med hendes Børn længere tilbage og bagest Rakel med Josef;
and he sets the maidservants and their children first, and Leah and her children behind, and Rachel and Joseph last.
3 selv gik han frem foran dem og kastede sig syv Gange til Jorden, før han nærmede sig sin Broder.
And he himself passed over before them, and bows himself to the earth seven times, until his drawing near to his brother,
4 Men Esau løb ham i Møde og omfavnede ham, faldt ham om Halsen og kyssede ham, og de græd;
and Esau runs to meet him, and embraces him, and falls on his neck, and kisses him, and they weep;
5 og da han saa op og fik Øje paa Kvinderne og Børnene, sagde han: »Hvem er det, du har der?« Han svarede: »Det er de Børn, Gud naadig har givet din Træl.«
and he lifts up his eyes, and sees the women and the children, and says, “What [are] these to you?” And he says, “The children with whom God has favored your servant.”
6 Saa nærmede Trælkvinderne sig med deres Børn og kastede sig til Jorden,
And the maidservants draw near, they and their children, and bow themselves;
7 derefter nærmede Lea sig med sine Børn og kastede sig til Jorden, og til sidst nærmede Josef og Rakel sig og kastede sig til Jorden.
and Leah also draws near, and her children, and they bow themselves; and afterward Joseph has drawn near with Rachel, and they bow themselves.
8 Nu spurgte han: »Hvad vilde du med hele den Lejr, jeg traf paa?« Han svarede: »Finde Naade for min Herres Øjne!«
And he says, “What to you [is] all this camp which I have met?” And he says, “To find grace in the eyes of my lord.”
9 Men Esau sagde: »Jeg har nok, Broder; behold du, hvad dit er!«
And Esau says, “I have abundance, my brother, that which you have, let it be for yourself.”
10 Da svarede Jakob: »Nej, hvis jeg har fundet Naade for dine Øjne, saa tag imod min Gave! Da jeg saa dit Aasyn, var det jo som Guds Aasyn, og du har taget venligt imod mig!
And Jacob says, “No, please, now if I have found grace in your eyes, then you have received my present from my hand, because that I have seen your face, as the seeing of the face of God, and you are pleased with me;
11 Tag dog den Velsignelse, som er dig bragt, thi Gud har været mig naadig, og jeg har fuldt op!« Saaledes nødte han ham, til han tog det.
please receive my blessing which is brought to you, because God has favored me, and because I have all [things]”; and he presses on him, and he receives [it],
12 Derpaa sagde Esau: »Lad os nu bryde op og drage af Sted, og jeg vil drage foran dig!«
and says, “Let us journey and go on, and I go on before you.”
13 Men Jakob svarede: »Min Herre ved jo, at jeg maa tage Hensyn til de spæde Børn og de Faar og Køer, som giver Die; overanstrenger jeg dem blot en eneste Dag, dør alt Smaakvæget.
And he says to him, “My lord knows that the children [are] tender, and the suckling flock and the herd [are] with me; when they have beaten them one day, then all the flock has died.
14 Vil min Herre drage forud for sin Træl, kommer jeg efter i Ro og Mag, som det passer sig for Kvæget, jeg har med, og for Børnene, til jeg kommer til min Herre i Se'ir.«
Please let my lord pass over before his servant, and I lead on gently, according to the foot of the work which [is] before me, and to the foot of the children, until I come to my lord, to Seir.”
15 Da sagde Esau: »Saa vil jeg i alt Fald lade nogle af mine Folk ledsage dig!« Men han svarede: »Hvorfor dog det — maatte jeg blot finde Naade for min Herres Øjne!«
And Esau says, “Please let me place with you some of the people who [are] with me”; and he said, “Why [is] this? I find grace in the eyes of my lord.”
16 Saa drog Esau samme Dag tilbage til Se'ir.
And Esau turns back on that day on his way to Seir;
17 Men Jakob brød op og drog til Sukkot, hvor han byggede sig et Hus og indrettede Hytter til sit Kvæg; derfor gav han Stedet Navnet Sukkot.
and Jacob has journeyed to Succoth, and builds a house for himself, and has made shelters for his livestock, therefore he has called the name of the place Succoth.
18 Og Jakob kom paa sin Vandring fra Paddan-Aram uskadt til Sikems By i Kana'ans Land og slog Lejr uden for Byen;
And Jacob comes safe [to the] city of Shechem, which [is] in the land of Canaan, in his coming from Padan-Aram, and encamps before the city,
19 og han købte det Stykke Jord, hvor han havde rejst sit Telt, af Sikems Fader Hamors Sønner for 100 Kesita
and he buys the portion of the field where he has stretched out his tent, from the hand of the sons of Hamor, father of Shechem, for one hundred kesitah;
20 og byggede der et Alter, som han kaldte: Gud, Israels Gud.
and he sets up there an altar, and proclaims at it God—the God of Israel.
