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,
Jacob lifted up his eyes, and looked, and, behold, Esau was coming, and with him four hundred men. He divided the children between Leah, Rachel, and the two servants.
2 idet han stillede Trælkvinderne med deres Børn forrest, Lea med hendes Børn længere tilbage og bagest Rakel med Josef;
He put the servants and their children in front, Leah and her children after, and Rachel and Joseph at the rear.
3 selv gik han frem foran dem og kastede sig syv Gange til Jorden, før han nærmede sig sin Broder.
He himself passed over in front of them, and bowed himself to the ground seven times, until he came near to 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, fell on his neck, 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.«
He lifted up his eyes, 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 servants came near 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 near, and bowed themselves. After them, Joseph came near 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 favour 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; let that which you have be yours.”
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, “Please, no, if I have now found favour in your sight, then receive my present at my hand, because I have seen your face, as one sees the face of God, and you were 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 take the gift that I brought to you, because God has dealt graciously with me, and because I have enough.” 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’s take our journey, and let’s go, and I will go 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.
Jacob said to him, “My lord knows that the children are tender, and that the flocks and herds with me have their young, and if they overdrive them one day, all the flocks 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 over before his servant, and I will lead on gently, according to the pace of the livestock that are before me and according to the pace 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!«
Esau said, “Let me now leave with you some of the people who are with me.” He said, “Why? Let me find favour in the sight of my lord.”
16 Saa drog Esau samme Dag tilbage til Se'ir.
So Esau returned 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.
Jacob travelled to Succoth, 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;
Jacob came in peace to the city of Shechem, which is in the land of Canaan, when he came from Paddan Aram; and encamped before the city.
19 og han købte det Stykke Jord, hvor han havde rejst sit Telt, af Sikems Fader Hamors Sønner for 100 Kesita
He bought the parcel of ground where he had spread his tent, at the hand of the children of Hamor, Shechem’s father, for one hundred pieces of money.
20 og byggede der et Alter, som han kaldte: Gud, Israels Gud.
He erected an altar there, and called it El Elohe Israel.
