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,
Now Jacob looked up and saw that Esau approaching, and with him four hundred men. He divided the children between Leah, Rachel, and the two female servants.
2 idet han stillede Trælkvinderne med deres Børn forrest, Lea med hendes Børn længere tilbage og bagest Rakel med Josef;
He put the female servants and their children in front, Leah and her children after, 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.
He himself went on ahead of them, and bowed himself to the ground seven times, until he approached his brother.
4 Men Esau løb ham i Møde og omfavnede ham, faldt ham om Halsen og kyssede ham, og de græd;
Esau ran to meet him, embraced him, hugged his neck, and kissed him. And they wept.
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 looked up and saw the women and the children, and said, "Who are these with you?" He said, "The children whom God has graciously given your servant."
6 Saa nærmede Trælkvinderne sig med deres Børn og kastede sig til Jorden,
Then the female servants came forward with their children, and they bowed 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.
Leah also and her children came forward, and bowed themselves. After them, Joseph came forward with Rachel, and they bowed themselves.
8 Nu spurgte han: »Hvad vilde du med hele den Lejr, jeg traf paa?« Han svarede: »Finde Naade for min Herres Øjne!«
Esau said, "What do you mean by all this company which I met?" Jacob said, "To find favor in the sight of my lord."
9 Men Esau sagde: »Jeg har nok, Broder; behold du, hvad dit er!«
Esau said, "I have enough, my brother; keep what you have 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!
Jacob said, "No, please, if I have now found favor in our sight, then accept my present from my hand, because I have seen your face, which is like seeing the face of God, since you have accepted 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 take the gift that I brought to you, because God has been gracious to me, and because I have enough." Thus he urged him, and he took it.
12 Derpaa sagde Esau: »Lad os nu bryde op og drage af Sted, og jeg vil drage foran dig!«
Esau said, "Let us take our journey, and let us go, and I will go ahead of 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.
Jacob said to him, "My lord knows that the children are tender, and that the sheep and cattle with me have their young, and if they overdrive them one day, the whole herd will die.
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 on ahead of his servant, and I will move along slowly, at the pace of the herds that are before me and at the pace of the children, until I come to my lord at 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!«
Esau said, "Let me now leave with you some of my people who are with me." But he said, "What need is there? Please indulge me, my lord."
16 Saa drog Esau samme Dag tilbage til Se'ir.
So Esau returned that day on the road 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.
But Jacob traveled to Succoth, and he built himself a house, and made shelters for his livestock. Therefore the name of the place is called 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;
After Jacob came from Paddan Aram, he arrived safely at the city of Shechem, which is in the land of Canaan, and camped near the city.
19 og han købte det Stykke Jord, hvor han havde rejst sit Telt, af Sikems Fader Hamors Sønner for 100 Kesita
He purchased the parcel of land where he had pitched his tent, from the sons of Hamor, Shechem's father, for a hundred kesitahs.
20 og byggede der et Alter, som han kaldte: Gud, Israels Gud.
He erected an altar there and called it El Elohe Israel.
